The 3-Gun Holster was designed to provide reliable firearm retention without sacrificing speed during presentation. Developed in part by Noveske's Rob Romero, a USPSA Grand Master, maintaining draw speed was high on the list of design criteria.
However, this is a 3-gun holster, and that means retention is arguably more important than speed, especially on the natural terrain courses of fire or stages heavy with prop obstacles. As such, the pistol locks into place with an audible "click," requiring a definitive pull to bring the gun out of the holster. Retention is adjusted via the top, covered retention screw only.
An interesting feature on the 3-Gun Holster is the full hood designed to protect the rear sight from being hit, bumped or damaged during use. With the wide range of terrain, stage props and positions shooters are now required to maneuver over, through and around, gear that rides on a competitor's belt takes quite a bit of abuse. The hood feature should go a long way in protecting the rear sight during a competition—welcome insurance against the sight getting bumped and losing zero.
Finally, Noveske claims the dropped, offset design enables freedom of movement for the competitor to get in and out of shooting positions. During testing, I found the 3-Gun Holster comfortable on the belt. After a familiarization period of getting used to the new position of my pistol, I found the holster conducive to presenting the pistol faster than similar Kydex-style holsters that require the retention system be defeated via a thumb-break or button.
One thing we see continuously on the 3GN Tour, from veteran and rookie 3-gunners alike, is stage and/or match disqualifications when pistols come out of holsters and drop to the ground while a competitor is negotiating a stage. This most commonly occurs with race-style Open gear, but also Kydex-style holsters which have little or no retention built into them. You can't win if you go home early, which makes a reliable holster an essential piece of any 3-gunner's gear.
"Whether running around barricades on a stage or diving hard into prone for long range targets, this holster provides enough protection of the pistol, specifically the rear sight, to eliminate any worries of damaging the handgun," said 3GN Heavy Metal division leader Bryan Ray, who recently began using the Noveske 3-Gun Holster in competition. "Lacking mechanical retention, there are no devices to manipulate before the draw, but the holster holds the gun secure while running through a course of fire."
The Noveske Shooting Team 3-Gun Holster, at first look, seems more than up to the task of fulfilling most competitor's needs in 3-gun. I'll take reliable over fast every time, but so far this one delivers both. With innovative features such as the sight-protecting hood, this is a product obviously designed by 3-gunners, for 3-gunners.
The Noveske 3-Gun Holster is currently available for Glock 34/35 (17/22) and 1911. The MSRP is $84.95.

The filling was fantastic, and the crust, after cooked, was great. I had to add more flour and the dough still didn't come together very well and was a sticky pain to roll out. I'll make this again, but will add another 1/4 cup of flour.
Made this a couple of hours ago, and it's already gone. Fabulous dessert. My raspberries were fresh, but not as ripe or juicy as I would have liked, so I added a couple of tablespoonfuls of raspberry jam to the filling. Heavenly. Crust was great too. I will make this often. As someone else already stated, mine was done about ten minutes early--watch this carefully and check well before 40 minutes.
I made this filling to go in a tart shell I had already made so I can't comment on the pastry. The filling was very tasty but I found that the cornstarch made it too pasty, and didn't blend completely. I usually make fillings with tapioca so I may try that next time instead. I also reduced the sugar. And increased the recipe 50% by adding frozen peaches and more raspberries. And the automatic grocery list overstated how much rhubarb is required - 5 lbs is plenty.
I thought the crust would be too hard or yucky b/c of the whole wheat, but boy did this turn out great! Everything about it was superb. People I served it to didn't even want ice cream on the side. I used frozen raspberries b/c supermarket was out of fresh ones. It was delightful. (but cooked in 10 min less time than recipe calls for, so monitor it bakes.)

A patient monitor system implemented by a service provider for users via recording a patients analytes measurements by an attenuated total reflection (ATR) infrared total spectroscopy method. The system comprises an input module that provides a non-invasive method in measuring analytes in a patient, such as a measurement of the glucose level and other blood analytes. The measurement is shared among a plurality of output devices such as computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), cellular phones, and pagers that are stationed or held by various users such as doctors, patients, researchers, pharmacies, labs, and health insurers. In addition behavioral attributes are recorded and correlated with the analytes measurements to generate a profile. The profile is selectively sent to output devices based on the user profile corresponding to the output device. Also, access to the profile is monitored by a security module that encrypts the profile to prevent access by un-authorized users.

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The invention relates in general to devices and methods for improving the delivery of patient information and care to patients, particularly to transactions involved in utilizing a non-invasive monitoring system to deliver physiological information to patients and patients' service providers.
[0003] 2. Description of Related Art
[0004] Numerous diseases require the monitoring of various physiological attributes of a patient. These attributes such as blood glucose level and other blood analytes' level are invaluable to patients and health service providers such as doctors, medical professions, pharmacies, researchers insurance companies, and government agencies.
[0005] Particularly in patients with diabetes, monitoring the level of blood glucose is extremely important in controlling the patient's health, and decreasing or delaying the damaging effects of uncontrolled blood glucose. Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin, which results in the increase uptake of glucose from the blood across cell membranes. About sixteen million people in the United States are diabetics. The American Diabetes Association reports that diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States. The complications of the disease include blindness, kidney disease, nerve disease, heart disease, and death.
[0006] Specifically, for diabetes, monitoring various physiological attributes is essential for diabetic patients. For example, it is essential that patients practice frequent self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG). Based upon the level of glucose in the blood, individuals may make insulin dosage decisions before injection. Monitoring the trends in blood glucose over time provides health care providers with invaluable information on the adequacy of therapy, the compliance of the patient and the progression of the disease. However, the prior systems of glucose monitoring usually requires obtaining blood from a finger stick (invasive method) or obtaining body fluids (other than blood) and subcutaneous tissue (also an invasive method). Now, an optical non-invasive glucose monitoring system, as illustrated in a related co-pending U.S. patent application entitled Infrared ATR, Glucose Measurement System (11), U.S. application Ser. No. 09/547,433, by Herbert L. Berman and Jeffrey N. Roe, owned by the assignee of this application and incorporated herein by reference, provides a solution for non-invasively gathering of blood glucose information for diabetic patients. Use of a non-invasive technology rather than an invasive technology permits a significantly better approximation to continuous monitoring, which in turn may contribute significantly to improved health care for diabetic patients.
[0007] Therefore, it is advantageous to have a monitoring system that leverages on the non-invasive glucose-measuring device to provide a medium for sharing of the monitored information.
[0008]FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a monitor system according to the present invention.
[0009]FIG. 2 illustrates a more detail illustration of the internal architecture of a non-invasive monitor device 210 a processing unit and storage system 510, and information recipients 600.
[0010]FIG. 3 illustrates a flow chart of registering information into the monitor device.
[0011]FIG. 4 illustrates the step-by-step information flow from the monitor device to a data processing and storage system.
[0012]FIG. 5 is a flow chart of the information processing in a data processing unit.
[0013] Reference is made in detail to embodiments of the invention. While the invention is described in conjunction with the embodiments, the invention is not intended to be limited by these embodiments. On the contrary, the invention is intended to cover alternatives, modifications and equivalents, which may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Furthermore, in the following detailed description of the invention, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. However as is obvious to one ordinarily skilled in the art, the invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances well-known methods, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so that aspects of the invention will not be obscured.
[0014] Referring to FIG. 1, the elements of the patient monitoring system in accordance with one embodiment of the invention consist one or more non-invasive analyte monitor devices (110 210 310 410), a data processing and storage unit 510, and one or more information recipients 600, such as doctor office 610 researcher 620, pharmacy 630, hospital/labs 640, insurance provider 650, government agency 660, patient 670, family member 680, and health maintenance organization 690. All elements of the system can communicate with each other via a network or wireless protocol 50.
[0015] As illustrated in more detail in FIG. 2, the data processing and storage unit 510 implements for a user a monitoring system that organizes and processes physiological and behavior attributes of the user to enable transmission of these attributes to information recipients 600. The term "information recipients"as defined herein are person, organization, and corporation that are interested in the attributes gathered by the non-invasive analyte monitor device such as doctor office 610, researcher 620, pharmacy 630, hospital/labs 640, insurance provider 650, government agency 660, patient 670, family member 680, and health maintenance organization 690. Optionally, the data processing and storage unit can be programmed to send automated warnings such as by email, phone, or fax to a patient or information recipients if the patient's condition falls outside an acceptable limit that can be prescribed by the patient's caregiver or physician.
[0016] In one embodiment of the system where the user is a diabetic patient, the user utilizes the non-invasive analyte monitor device 210 based on attenuated total reflection (ATR) technology to measure blood glucose level. The analyte monitor device comprises an ATR plate 212 coupled to an analyte measurement generator 213 which calculates the blood glucose level on user's skin that is placed on the ATR plate 212 for measurement. The measurement is then stored in a storage module 214, which also can store other user information. The analyte device 210 requires calibration, which is accomplished by a calibrator module 215 that correlates the measurements generated from the analyte measurement generator 213 to measurements taken from standard invasive procedures such as a finger stick. After calibration, the analyte device 210 can be used to obtain accurate glucose level measurements without any other invasive procedures. The input/output module 216 allows the user to input information and also receive the analyte measurements from the measurement generator 213 or the storage module 214.
[0017] In an alternative embodiment, the user, via the input/output module 216, may also input behavior attributes such as time duration between analyte measurement and last meal, time duration between analyte measurement and last exercise session, time duration between analyte measurement and last resting session or time and dosage of medication taken. These behavior attributes affect the interpretation of the blood glucose measurement. For example, blood glucose level tends to be higher for users that have just eaten a meal. Thus, by adding behavior attributes, the monitor, system can provide a better profile of the user's health to information recipients 600 such as the user's doctor 610. Also, the user utilizes the input/output module 216 to include other physiological attributes such as heart rate or blood pressure. Optionally the input/output module 216 can comprise an activity sensor that determines energy use and/or a metabolic activity sensor that measures metabolic rates such as oxygen consumption.
[0018] Additionally, the output module 216 of the analyte device 210 serves as a messaging terminal for the patient. These messages can be automatic alarms that alert the patient when the analyte measurements, behavior attributes and physiological attributes are out of a normal range prescribed by the patient, the patient's caregiver, and/or the patient's physician. These messages can be generated by the analyte device itself or from any one of the information recipients. For example, if the patient's physician determines that the patient is not responding to a prescribed medicine dosage, the physician can send a message to the output module 216 to request the patient to change his dosage or to request a visit to the physician's office for consultation.
[0019] All the analyte measurements, behavior attributes, and physiological attributes are communicated to the data processing and storage unit 510 for processing and storage, which will be furthered described in detail in FIG. 5. These attributes are sent to the data processing and storage unit 510 via a network such as the Internet, local area network (LEN) and/or Slide area network (WAN), wireless and/or wired or other network infrastructure 50. In one embodiment or the invention, the monitor device 210 has its own wireless transmission module. In an alternative embodiment of the wireless transmission, the monitor device 210 is coupled to a wireless device such as a cellular phone, a pager or a wireless modem to enable transmission. Optionally, due to the large amount of data being collected, the monitor device 210 may send all information to a local terminal and storage located within a patient's home, a physician's office, or a hospital. The information to the local terminal can be transmitted over a short-range radio frequency (RF) link (e.g. Blue tooth). Subsequently, the information stored at the local terminal will be communicated to the processing unit 510.
[0020] After communication is established between the monitor device 210 and the processing unit 510, an account manager 512 in the processing unit 510 accesses the user's account and the security module 511 verifies the user's identity via a password or any other security means. After verification, the attributes are transmitted and organized into a physiological database 513, which stores the user's analyte measurements and other physiological attributes, and a behavioral database, which stores the user's behavioral attributes. The account manager 512 also communicates with an information recipient database 515 that includes the user's selected information recipients 600 and recipient parameters associated with each specific information recipient. These recipient parameters as described herein are requirements that direct the transmission of the user attributes, which may include type of information such as report of blood glucose level, all email to alert if blood glucose level reaches a certain maximum or minimum, a report of behavioral and blood glucose correlation, "time of information" such as weekly, monthly, or quarterly, "format type" such as a graphical representation or text, and "information recipient" such as sending the information to doctor and patient personal computer, or sending to family members in case of emergency.
[0021] The processes of gathering the user's attributes, processing the attributes, and transmitting the attributes to corresponding information recipients are furthered described in detail in FIG. 3, which illustrates the registration of the user, in FIG. 4, which illustrates the gathering of the user's attributes, and in FIG. 5, which illustrates the data processing and transmission of the attributes.
[0022]FIG. 3 illustrates the events that take place in user registration. The user can register via the monitor device 210 or any computing machine that enables communication to the processing unit 510. The user logs-in and account registration is initiated 3000 if user has not registered. The user provides account information (e.g. name, address, date of birth, prior medical history, or monitor device serial number). The user then creates 3100 a profile, which is a set of data relating to a specific service (e.g. monitoring the blood glucose level or monitoring alcohol level) by selecting 3200 the type of service needed such as analyte measurement reading, analysis and tracking of physiological and behavioral attributes, transmitting information among information recipients, or any combination of the above mentioned services. After service is selected 3200, the user selects one or more physiological attributes to track 3300, one or more analytes to be measured 3400 and one or more behavioral attributes to track 3500. If information transmission among recipients is selected in step 3200, the user needs to input all recipients' information and recipient parameters 3600. The profile is stored in the storage module 214 of the monitor device 210 and in a profile database 516 in the account manger 512 of the processing unit 510. Alternatively the profile can be stored on either the storage module 214 or the account manger 512. Profile is completed 3700 and the data processing unit sends a confirmation with password to the user and his list of recipients. Alternatively, the user can create numerous profiles within the same account.
[0023] After user registration, the user can utilize his device to gather physiological and behavioral attributes, which is illustrated in FIG. 4. The user logs-in 4000 to the device 210 with password from the registration and user account is presented by the input module 4100. Alternatively, user log-in can be accomplished by voice recognition or by a fingerprint. The user selects the desired profile 4200. If behavior inputs are required, the user inputs 4300 the behavior attributes such as time duration between analyte measurement and last meal, time duration between analyte measurement and last exercise session, time duration between analyte measurement and last resting session, or whether other drugs or alcohol was taken prior to measurement. If no behavioral attributes are required, the user is presented with opportunity to select analyte measurement. If selected, the user selects the desired analyte to be measured 4400 and if calibration is needed, the calibrator module is initiated to calibrate 4500 the analyte measurement generator 213. If calibration is complete the user can place his finger 4600 on the ATR plate and the analyte measurement generator records 4700 and calculates the analyte level. If only the analyte measurement is selected and no processing is needed, the output module 216 of the monitor device 210 will display the measurement. If further processing is required, the data is sent 4800 to the processing unit and the data is processed, as illustrated in more detail in FIG. 5.
[0024] In FIG. 5, the data processing unit 510 receives transmission from the monitor device 5100. The user is verified 5200 via the security module and user account is accessed 5300 by the account manager. If the transmission pertains to an existing profile, the data is transferred and the profile database in the account manager is updated 5700. If the transmission consists of data pertaining to a new profile, a new profile is created by the processing unit 5400 and data is transferred 5500. The processing unit then organizes and correlates the data according to the behavioral and physiological relationships and recipient parameters 5600 and updates the profile database in the account manager 5700. After updating the profile database 5700, the account manager is responsible for sending out the corresponding reports and profiles at the corresponding time to each recipient based on the recipient parameters 5800. Alternatively, the reports and profiles are encrypted and access is only granted to recipients with valid passwords to prevent unauthorized use.
[0025] Foregoing described embodiments of the invention are provided as illustrations and descriptions. They are not intended to limit the invention to precise form described. In particular, it is contemplated that functional implementation of invention described herein may be implemented equivalently in hardware, software, firmware, and/or other available functional components or building blocks. Other variations and embodiments are possible in light of above teachings, and it is thus intended that the scope of invention not be limited by this Detailed Description but rather by claims following.

Hacking Vista?By Gosia Grabowska
There have been many reports, or I should say rumors, of free versions of Vista being obtained by guessing the Vista activation key. A key generator creates and tries random key-codes of Windows Vista until it finds a valid one.
According to CNET News.com it checks about 20,000 different key-codes per hour. It is hard to believe that Microsoft would allow something like this to happen (that is why I call it a "rumor"). But you never know. Some people claim that they were able to "hack" Vista and get a free copy.
As of today, Microsoft requires a user to activate his or her copy of Windows Vista within 30 days after the installation. If Vista is not activated in that time period the system starts to run in a "reduced functionality mode" until it becomes activated, CNet reports.
Microsoft is also working on a new antipiracy technology for all of it's Windows Software. This new technology will lock users completely out of their systems after failing to activate their copy of Microsoft's software within given time period. This feature will debut in Windows Vista and Longhorn. After that it will be part of all future versions of Microsoft products.

Fire over your questions to me at
firstname.lastname@example.com. I might not be able to answer them
all, but I promise they're all read. Any e-mails sent to this
address may be published or edited unless requested otherwise.
(Please put ASK CFN in the subject line, and PLEASE keep the
questions short ... it makes my life easier.)
I'm a big
twelve fan and an OU fan. How long do you think the booster at
OU will put up with the poor game planning and play calling of
Bob Stoops? I know the Sooners won the title but that was with
Blake's players. He hasn't won since. Do you think Terry Bowden
would ever consider coaching OU?
A: You're really a Texas fan, right? How else could you explain
having any interest in Terry Bowden over Bob Stoops? Not to
throw you under the bus and start ripping since this question is
hardly unique as Stoops has turned into the new Lloyd Carr, but
this is nuts.
All Stoops has done is win two straight Big 12 titles, play in
five of the last six Big 12 championship games, and win a
national title. There are more than 100 other teams out there
that would kill for the Oklahoma résumé over the last eight
years, bad times with good, as the "poor game planning and play
calling" has been good enough to go 90-17. Along with LSU, Ohio
State and USC, Oklahoma belongs among the elite of the elite of
the elite.
With that said, you're right when it comes to the bowl games.
There was no excuse for losing like that against West Virginia,
and the Boise State loss will stick forever. That's not to say
the Mountaineers and Broncos weren't good, or to say the wins
were a fluke in any way, but they weren't more talented than OU
and those were two major upsets considering the situations.
With some maturity, is Sam Bradford the type of Field General
that can lead the Sooners to the promise land by his junior
year? – JM
A: What more maturity do you need? All the kid did was lead the
nation in passing efficiency as a freshman. When he got time, he
ripped everyone apart. What he'll have to figure out how to work
past is the pass rush, but that goes for 99% of all
quarterbacks, especially ones who don't run much. If Oklahoma
doesn't win the 2008 national title, it won't be Bradford's
fault. He's good enough right now to win a championship with.
I was trying to find a stat on line but was not able and
hoped you could help. What is the longest streak of having a 1,000 yard
rusher at a school? I know Northern Illinois has to have one of the
longest active streaks, dating all the way back to the Thomas Hammock
days. Thanks for any help you can provide. - SG, Illinois
A: I couldn't find it in the NCAA record book, so I'll leave it up to
the readers to correct me for being wrong. If memory serves, either it's
Wisconsin, rolling from Brent Moss through Terrell Fletcher, Carl
McCullough, Ron Dayne to Anthony Davis, with the string being broken
when Davis got hurt, or it's North Carolina starting in 1974 with Mike
Voight and going through Amos Lawrence, Kelvin Bryant and Ethan Horton
on the way to 11 straight 1,000-yard seasons. Minnesota had a nice
string going for a while.
Why isn't the Reggie Bush scandal not getting much media attention?
It seems to me that the NCAA is hoping the situation just magically
disappears. Everyone in the country knows rules were broken while Bush
attended USC. Not to mention, USC was caught red handed when Pete
Carroll, Reggie Bush and Joe McKnight were involved in a three way phone
conversation while McKnight was being recruited by Carroll. All someone
had to say was "Um, Joe misspoke. He was just listening to a
conversation between Carroll and Bush." and the NCAA didn't even raise
an eyebrow. – Donnie
A: It's coming. It has to. It seems like the NCAA is waiting for the
Reggie Bush case to be sorted out first legally, and then it can simply
rule accordingly. There isn't that much of a national uproar over it
because no one really cares. Personally, I think they're silly rules
that deserve to be broken, but fans of several other teams hit by
sanctions over the years are absolutely entitled to wonder why things
are progressing so slowly. If Oklahoma was forced to vacate wins because
Rhett Bomar took a few bucks, then USC's record book might need a huge
eraser if all the Bush stuff is true. Even so, unless you can make
everyone forget about Bush's career and the stomping of the Sooners to
win the 2004 national title, it really doesn't matter except in a book
that no one reads.
Is the NCAA actually going to take a serious look at an eight team
playoff, or are they just blowing smoke? Is so, what are the chances?
50/50, higher? – DM
A: Take a look at a proposal, yes. Take a serious look, yeah, sort of.
Do anything about it? Yeah, right.
As a dejected yet loyal Buckeye, I wonder, is it possible the
pollsters will allow us to play in the NCG even if we are able to beat
USC, after the last two years? Also without a fullback, several
returning receivers, is it possible that we will see a more spread
offense (a la old school Purdue) with Todd Boeckman or a run and gun
with Antonio Henton? – SS
A: It seems like the coaching staff is going to do a little of both by
getting Henton more involved to add even more running to the overall
mix. Yes, the pollsters will "allow" little old Ohio State back in to
another national championship game if it goes 12-0 with a win over USC
at USC. Dog the Big Ten all you want, but the schedule is nasty from the
first game of October on. At Wisconsin, Purdue, at Michigan State, Penn
State, at Northwestern, at Illinois, Michigan. That's six bowl teams in
seven games, and the strength of schedule will look decent. However, if
the Buckeyes lose once along the way, there might be a backlash because
of the last two national title games if there are other viable options.
Will anyone ever realize that the Buckeyes aren't as good as everyone
thinks they are? They lost to an Illinois team that was destroyed by
USC in the Rose Bowl and they have been destroyed in the previous 2 BCS
National Championship games, by LSU and Florida. Sure they won the Big
Ten, but it was a weak year for the Big Ten. Michigan was banged up
with Henne and Hart both missing time and the rest of the Big Ten
isn't very good. I thought it would be LSU and Oklahoma, who lost one
game without their quarterback against a strong Texas Tech team (I know
the disappointed against West Virginia, but they didn't play that
badly). In conclusion, I will restate my question: Will anyone ever
realize the Buckeyes aren't that good? – SL
A: "Didn't play that badly?!" Oklahoma was awful against West Virginia
and lost to Colorado with Sam Bradford and Texas Tech with Joey Halze
playing relatively well. Did you forget that LSU lost to Kentucky and
Arkansas teams that were slightly above average and worse than Illinois?
USC lost to Stanford. That's the big matzo ball that doesn't go away in
the discussion. Ohio State was that good, but when LSU had time to rest
up, heal all their top players, and get everyone at near 100%, it proved
what we all knew at the beginning of the year that it was a killer.
Remember, Ohio State wasn't supposed to be playing for the national
title last year. The team actually overachieved considering the
replacements made on offense. Also remember that there's no shame in
losing to Florida and LSU. It gets glossed over for recent Sooner and
Buckeye teams that they lost in the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. Not the
Capital One Bowl, not the Sun and not the New Orleans.
Which college's NFL alumni would field the strongest pro team? You
need enough players in the league to have starters at each position,
which probably narrows it down to 10-12 programs with enough alumni to
insure enough starters to build a top 22 with no one playing out of
position... Given the importance of QB play, you'd have to think
Michigan with Brady would be at the top, but looking at the DL, it's
pretty thin (only 3 DL in the league, and 1 DE). Maybe Tennessee? –
A: It's always a fun argument that until recently was always won by
Miami. Now, as strange as it sounds for the former factory, there's no
quarterback to lead the way. Tennessee is in the discussion, especially
with Peyton Manning, Jamal Lewis and Travis Henry in the backfield,
Robert Meachem and Donte Stallworth at receiver, Jason Witten at tight
end, but the O line would be a problem. The defensive tackle combination
of John Henderson and Albert Haynesworth would be a killer, the ends
would probably be Shaun Ellis and Parys
Haralson, the linebackers Omar Gaither, Kevin Burnett, and
incoming rookie Jerod Mayo, and the secondary Jason Allen, Gibril
Wilson, Deon Grant and I'd take incoming rookie Jonathan Hefney. USC
would pose a challenge.
Carson Palmer, Reggie Bush, LenDale White and Justin Fargas in the
backfield, Steve Smith (of the Giants) and Keary Kolbert at receiver,
incoming rookie Fred Davis at tight end, a line starting with Ryan Kalil,
Deuce Lutui, incoming rookie Sam Baker, and bust Winston Justice, a D
line of Mike Patterson, Shaun Cody, Frostee Rucker, and incoming rookie
Sedrick Ellis and/or Lawrence Jackson, a killer linebacking corps of
Lofa Tatupu, Junior Seau and incoming rookie Keith Rivers, and a
secondary starting with Troy Polamalu, and then being forced to play
Darnell Bing and Will Poole.
Would love to know your top picks for players that were stars in the
college game, but duds in the pros, and those who were simply okay in
college but went on to stardom in the NFL. – Ann
A: My top five all-time great college players but pro busts (and I'm not
talking about the Tommie Fraziers of the world who were never pro
prospects, and I'm also not talking about the pure busts who were good
college players, but not legends, like Ryan Leaf.): 1.
Charles Rogers, WR
Michigan State, 2. Tony Mandarich, OT Michigan State, 3. Peter Warrick, WR
Florida State, 4. Brian Bosworth, LB Oklahoma, 5. Kenneth Sims, DT
Texas. Desmond Howard probably belongs in there somewhere.
Best decent college players who grew into killer pros: 1. Tom Brady, QB
Michigan (although I seem to be the only one who thought he was great as
a Wolverine), 2. Brett Favre, QB Southern Miss, 3. Johnny Unitas, QB
Louisville, 4. Mike Webster, C Wisconsin, 5. Terrell Davis, RB Georgia

The Real Desperate Housewives of Boston
// October 13th, 2011 // Uncategorized
All of the bitter, vapid, aesthetically enhanced women populating Atlanta, Orange County, New Jersey, or the home of a NBA player, could take a serious lesson from Red Sox ownership. Henry, Lucchino and Co, who have recently stepped up the game of back stabbing and gossiping like they were Floyd 'Money' Mayweather, would make any of those women afraid to step foot in The Bean.
Except Tami from Basketball Wives. That bitch is crazy.
The Sox Brass is firing shots at everyone like it was the end of Scarface, using inflammatory rumors as bullets. The only difference is, they are shooting their own men in the back as they make their way quietly and respectfully towards the door.
Had Francona blasted the team, and owners, on his way it would at least be understandable. But to paint the guy out as some pill popping degenerate, who can't even keep his family in order, when he was respectful and classy? It's caddy. It's the kind of hair pulling, childish shenanigans that belong on VHI or Bravo. Not on a professional baseball team.
A few weeks ago I wrote that I would stand by the Red Sox players despite watching them turn on each other, and choke away the season. They have been a part of my life for 29 years and are like family. Family doesn't turn on one another because of a few rough months. Family doesn't tell strangers about the embarrassing details that their relationship has made them privy to.
Family stands next to family and takes the firing squad together.
It's too bad the owners, with all that money, couldn't afford a dictionary to look up the definition.

You can go non traditional with the colors.
We don't know if we're having a boy or a girl so we just painted the nursery gray and I'm adding a dark teal stripe (Martha Stewart's Plumage) around the top of the room with a small white stripe on either side of it. Then I'm using green (like green apple green) as an accent color in the curtains, sheets and changing pad. If it's a girl, I'll add some eggplant to make it more feminine.

State issuing permits to hunt pythons in Everglades
NAPLES - A new program to control Burmese pythons in the Everglades may lead to a bounty against the exotic snakes.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission announced Wednesday it selected a group of reptile experts, based on handling experience and professionalism in the industry, to participate in a trial program.
The FWC will issue three-month permits to the experts, allowing them to search out and kill Burmese pythons beginning Friday.
Patricia Behnke, spokeswoman for FWC, said if the temporary program is successful, a permanent bounty would be considered. Details regarding the permanent program will not be determined until results from the temporary program are available.
The program comes on the heels of the death of a 2-year-old Sumter County girl, who was strangled by a pet python in her crib two weeks ago.
In reaction to the girl's death, Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Florida, presented a bill last week that would make importation of Pythons between states illegal.
The FWC and Governor's have since gotten involved.
The permit will only be given to qualified herpetologists who will be require to record the location, weight, size and stomach contents of the snakes caught. The pythons must be killed on site by the participants but they can not be shot.
The FWC has asked that participants "humanely euthanize" the pythons but did not give a definition for humane euthanization, said Greg Graziani, a private reptile breeder in Venus, who is one of three confirmed participants in the process. The participants have decided to use "swift decapitation," a method suggested for all animals by the American Veterinary Medical Association.
Participants will be allowed to keep the python, which they can sell to a skin or meat processor for profit. The sale is the only bounty available for the snakes.
Graziani said there is not much of an industry for python skin and meat in Florida since no one is really trying to sell the products. He hopes that if the program continues, the industry for python skin and meat will grow, taking some focus away from the native rattlesnake.
A Web site, olx.com, has a listing for a buyer of snake skin and raw materials. The listing is from a buyer in the Philippines with prices varying by size, but has the general price of $50 listed.
Though there are three confirmed participants that will get permits to hunt pythons, there could be up to ten, according to staff at the FWC.
Jason Butler, biologist for a wildlife and animal removal service, said he thinks the open hunt is a good idea but would agree that permits are necessary. Permits would allow the FWC to regulate who can hunt, making it safer.
Butler catches snakes for a living, usually from residential or commercial buildings and releases them back into the wild.
Butler said catching a python during this time of the year could be difficult, but had a tip for the hunters.
"Just stay in the car until you see one," Butler said. "The snakes like the heat from the roads so they tend to stretch out on the street and are easier to see."
Graziani and other participants have been working with the FWC on details of the program, which are still being determined.
"We got involved at the last commission meeting when commissioner Barreto asked us about the possibility of doing the hunts," Graziani said.
Shawn Heflick, President of the Central Florida Herpetological Society and Michael Cole, of Ballroom Pythons South in Tampa Bay confirmed they will participate program.
Heflick said the idea of a controlled hunt for pythons was initiated by the reptile industry long ago but they have received recent criticism for causing the infestation problem.
"A lot of what's being said about the python problem is laid on the doorsteps of reptile hobbyists, but the genetic data says it was actually caused by Hurricane Andrew," Heflick said.
Heflick said reptile hobbyists are blamed for the Everglades infestation by abandoning snakes that were once pets. Many pythons escaped during Hurricane Andrew in 1992, which is what Heflick said is the main cause of the current python problem.
One python can lay up to 100 eggs each time it reproduces.
Gabriela Ferraro, communications director for the FWC, said an option previously discussed was to start with a hunting permit open to all those who hold a reptile of concern permit, which is required to own a python or other potentially dangerous reptile. The requirements included strict weapon regulations for killing the Pythons using only a machete.
"I don't personally want to kill a python," Butler said, "but I do think the program is necessary." Butler said these pythons prey on humans in their home of Burma, and it's only a matter of time before they do the same in the Everglades.
Graziani said killing the snakes is not the ideal situation, but there is no other option. The invasion has endangered native wildlife and is a potential danger to people.

Dothan City Schools High School Students - Summer Reading 2015
Dothan City Schools high school students had the opportunity to vote on their Summer Reading 2015 novel. The votes are in and Endangered by Eliot Schrefer is the Summer reading selection.
From National Book Award Finalist Eliot Schrefer comes the compelling tale of a girl who must save a group of bonobos -- and herself -- from a violent coup.
Congo is a dangerous place, even for people who are trying to do good.
When Sophie has to visit her mother at her sanctuary for bonobos, she's not thrilled to be there. Then Otto, an infant bonobo, comes into her life, and for the first time she feels responsible for another creature.
But peace does not last long for Sophie and Otto. When an armed revolution breaks out in the country, the sanctuary is attacked, and the two of them must escape unprepared into the jungle. Caught in the crosshairs of a lethal conflict, they must struggle to keep safe, to eat, and to live.
In ENDANGERED, Eliot Schrefer plunges us into a heart-stopping exploration of the things we do to survive, the sacrifices we make to help others, and the tangled geography that ties us all, human and animal, together.

Well I wonder how you know that?
Shogun was clearly not 100%, if you deny that its hard to believe you are familiar with shoguns career.
That said I am not taking anything away from a fantastic performance by Jon jones, Im sorry but the shogun jones beat was the same shogun forrest did, and I give them both credit for their victory over one of the best Lhw to ever live. Just dont think that was the best Rua had to offer if he was 100%.
I know any differnt perspective on the fight on this forum is immediately seen as crashing the jon jones party we seem to be having, but we have to be realistic here, it was a great win over an opponent who wasnt his best.
Hopefully in the future their will be a rematch.

Version 0.9 of the Portable Computing Language (POCL) is now available as an open-source implementation of OpenCL 1.2.
POCL 0.9 is MIT-licensed and is a portable open-source OpenCL implementation based upon LLVM. With the 0.9 release there is improved host/target CPU detection and targeted code generation, the kernel compiler is implemented via LLVM API calls directly, there's improvements to the handling of CL Images, and there's several kernel compiler improvements.
POCL 0.9 nearly implements CL 1.2 support in full and can run many OpenCL benchmarks/demos, but there's still missing functionality. More details on the 0.9 release can be found via

Since the completion of work on the Cameroon-Chad pipeline in 2004, an optical fibre backbone facility now exists in Cameroon with the possibility of some 12 landing points or terminals.
The Cameroon Telecommunications, CAMTEL, the pioneer operator of telecommunications in the country, began a project to provide the much-cherished optical fibre throughout the country, given its attendant advantages for the country's drive toward the digital evolution.
Paradoxically, the Republic of Chad which depends on Cameroon for the optical fibre resources, tested their 4G (4th Generation) mobile telephone instruments in N'Djamena recently. The 4G is said to be the most recent technology in the telecommunication world after the 2G and 3G which are slower and less efficient in offering Internet connectivity for the transfer of data in the virtual environment. Some experts say it can take from 100 mega bytes per second (Mb/s) to even over 1 GB/s of information from one end to the other.
The upgrading of the country's digital platform has been so poor that Cameroon is today unfortunately one of only a few countries in Africa left with only two competing mobile operators, MTN and Orange. After various delays, Vietnam's Viettel is expected to launch the third network in September 2014, including Cameroon's first 3G mobile services.
Such a delay has left Cameroon far behind African countries with the same development level and the economic and social consequences of such a low pace in catching up with modern communication trends can only negatively impact the much-cherished economic growth prospects for the country. Fewer business ventures would want to invest in a country that remains virtually inaccessible to modern communication technology as Cameroon that has continued to lag behind.
As an unavoidable development tool, the inventor of the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee, on 5 September 2014, led the production of a report on the importance of the Internet in improving the lives of citizens of countries across the globe. The web index, as it is known, claims to be the "most comprehensive effort yet" to measure the impact of the web around the world and how it is changing people's lives.
It ranks countries by how much benefit their citizens derive from the web and how it has transformed areas such as politics, economics and society. It also assesses any barriers a country has to allowing its citizens to access a free and open web, finding that around 30 per cent of countries face some sort of government restriction.
With the reception yesterday 24 July 2014, in Hilton Yaounde by the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications, Jean Pierre Biyiti bi Essam, of the West African Landing Station (WALS) submarine cable based in Limbi which cost FCFA 14 billion, it should be able to play its role of increasing access to the Internet by 23 per cent. WALS is an Internet entry port through which telecommunication signals transit into a country and the entry of Cameroon into such a prestigious platform cannot but be lauded. Yet, it is common knowledge that the existence of the optical fibre in the country since 2004 has not resulted in the desired ease and fluidity within the sector.
Cameroon has for uncountable reasons remained the poorly served farmer in a vast plantation where there is abundance in virtually everything.
Others have even argued that the existing mobile operators are already offering the 3G facilities. So far so good, but it boils down to the fact that such conclusions are not far from the efforts of two drivers struggling to drive on a single-lane road while watching others comfortably driving on a four-lane superhighway nearby.
The current global trend in Information and Communications Technologies points to the fact that running away from them may just be an ostrich's tactics whereby the head is hidden in the sand while the rest of the body remains exposed. Thus, it can no longer be residual that a country like Chad that depends on Cameroon for the optical fibre should be going into the 4G mobile systems, others thinking of 5G while Cameroon is still uncertain about when the country will move into 3G applications. Such digital lateness is simply disturbing.

About the Designer
Alfredo Häberli Argentina (1969 - )
Alfredo Häberli was born in Buenos Aires in Argentina in 1964, but moved to Switzerland in 1977, where he trained as an industrial designer at the Höhere Schule für Gestaltung in Zürich, graduating in 1991. Since 1993 he has had his own design studio, with his most famous works being the stripy porcelain he designed for the Finnish company Iitalla, furniture for Mosors and furnishings for stores such as the Camper store in Paris and the Kvadrat showroom in Milan. Over the last 17 years, Alfredo Häberli Design Development has become a prestigious international design studio. Mr. Häberli has taught at design schools throughout Europe and the United States, and has participated at a host of exhibitions worldwide. He has also received a number of prestigious awards for his work. Alfredo Häberli finds inspiration for his elegant, minimalist designs in everyday life – gathering impressions into themes so he can always draw on them if he suddenly finds a use for them in a new context. His products are so ingeniously simple, they can all be described in just a few phrases. One method he uses is to keep observing his work again and again throughout the process: "Observing is the most beautiful way to think. I am constantly discovering new things in a single object," he says about his work.

Notice: Apple Server Bronze Reboot Saturday, 2/21
This work has been completed without incident.
Notice: Apple Server Bronze Reboot Saturday, 2/21
On Saturday, February 21 at around 12 Noon we will be rebooting the Macintosh file server named "bronze" in order to apply some important software updates.
We anticipate a very short downtime window, but in order to give us some room to take care of any unanticipated issues that might arise I am setting the downtime window to be from 12 Noon until 1 PM. If you see any of the fileshares reappear during this time you should not expect them to remain stable.
On Friday we will send reminders to anyone logged in to the server. It's a good idea to make sure that any open work is saved and that you are logged out of the server at close of business on Friday.
When the work is done an all-clear will be sent and posted at the Systems blog: https://mcssys.wordpress.com
If this poses an unacceptable disruption for you please send a note to email@example.com
Be alert for phishing attempts
The ANL Cyber office reports increased phishing activity, some of it pretty well executed. They're taking advantage of the fact that it's tax season to try to get you to open documents. Please be mindful of this when opening any documents.
Some good practices for you to engage in:
1) Do your best to keep your personal activity in your personal mailbox, rather than your ANL mailbox. This way, you'll notice a red flag if see e-mail claiming to be from your bank e-mails but coming to your work address. Free personal e-mail accounts can be trivially obtained from Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft. Also, your internet provider usually provides an e-mail account you can use.
2) Look at the mail headers of any message you receive that purports to be from a trusted source. It might claim to be from somewhere you trust, but it really isn't. And, trust me, I recognize the irony that Argonne broadcasts like Argonne Today don't come from anl.gov servers. That being said, they also don't come from some Italian ISP, so if you see that in the headers, it's a sign.
3) And, the mantra we've always touted forever and ever, don't open any attachments that you weren't expecting or don't know what they are. If in doubt, ask the sender via a trusted method. Or ask us. We're here to help.
If you like goofy mnemonics or catch phrases, Cyber is touting "SEAR the phish". Where SEAR means Stop, Examine, Ask, Report.
Stop: Don't panic and don't be too quick to click on email links even if the message looks urgent and threatening. This is NOT a contest where being 1st to click wins.
Examine: Look at the email closely. Does the message look suspicious, does the link look unusual, does the request make sense?
Ask: Question the sender (if you know him/her personally). Check with the Cyber Office (email@example.com) to determine if the email is legitimate or not.
Report: Notify Cyber if you receive any phishing emails by forwarding it to firstname.lastname@example.com
Stay vigilant, folks! Thanks!
Networking issues from yesterday resolved
It looks like the networking issues from yesterday have been resolved.
All told, there were three outages in total. The first was at Sunday 4AM, the second yesterday early afternoon, and another one that followed shortly after. The current theory is the failures were caused by an intermittent failure in a network interface card on one of the lab's firewall servers. The firewall functions were forced to move to the redundant server across campus, which seems to have stabilized the situation, and will allow the failing one to be repaired.
Thanks for your patience!
Upcoming changes for trouble tickets/help requests for CELS Systems
Due to the amount of crossover we have with the Argonne Service Desk in terms of the types of issues we handle, as well as the increased functionality their issue tracking system uses, CELS Systems is planning to migrate to Argonne's service ticket system (known as Service Now). Sharing the same system allows us easily to hand tickets back and forth with CIS, something that's been happening with greater frequency since the switch to Exchange/Outlook for mail.
What does this mean for you? Maybe nothing, really, but I wanted to make sure you were aware of the change and how some things will at least look different. For example, the e-mails you get when you submit a ticket will look different. And you'll gain the ability to check on the status of your open issues the same way you can now with the Argonne service desk at http://help.anl.gov.
Later this month, we're going to change the behavior of "firstname.lastname@example.com" to point to the new ticketing system. Those of you who've been paying close attention may have noticed another address (firstname.lastname@example.com) in some recent signage and communications. That already points to Service Now, so if you want to get a sneak peek of how things will look going forward, you can use that address the next time you need help.
On February 16th, mail to email@example.com will behave in the same way as sending to firstname.lastname@example.com works now. The Systems address will always work, but we're going to be advertising the email@example.com address as the primary contact method to better reflect the group's mission these days.
Also, because we'll be on the same system, you can also submit tickets via the web portal at http://help.anl.gov by using your Argonne credentials. Please note, this is a convenience option for those that prefer it – you'll always be able to use a simple mail to email@example.com (or firstname.lastname@example.com) from any address to get help without having to log in on anything.
This is the first step in migrating to the Service Now platform. Over the next few months, we'll also be migrating our user-facing documentation to this, as well as integrating it into our requests for common services (WordPress blogs, mailing lists, etc.) that are currently found at http://virtualhelpdesk.mcs.anl.gov.
If you have any concerns or questions, please let me know. Also, I look forward to your feedback on how the process is working once you've had a chance to experience it.
Brief rolling outages/reboots for security patching starting today (1/30/15)
Due to a serious security vulnerability, we've had to patch our Unix-based machines over the past few days. To complete the patching process, we need to reboot these machines. We're going to a schedule of rolling reboots to ensure any issues that occur during reboots don't take out too many services at once. We also believe we've mitigated the issue that caused the long outage for www.mcs.anl.gov earlier this week, and the current reboots should take much less time.
The schedule is as follows, with the machines being rebooted in a staggered fashion within the 30 minutes following the start time.
12:30PM: squall (Drupal server), typhoon (JLSE Atlassian Server), blizzard (collab – MCS Confluence Server), cyclone (xcollab, xjira – CELS external Confluence and Jira servers), login1 and login4 (SSH login servers)
2:00PM: login2 and login3 (SSH login servers), cvs.globus.org, variant (MCS SVN/Trac server), caveat (trac.mpich.org), repo.anl-external.org (External SVN repos)
More reboots will be announced as machines are identified and patched. Please let us know if this poses a particular problem for you.
MCS Webserver Outage
The web server is back online and serving traffic as of about 10:00. Again, sorry for the inconvenience. Please let us know if there are any issues you have after this update.
From: <Leggett>, Ti Leggett <leggett>
Date: Wednesday, January 28, 2015 at 8:55 AM
To: "cels-systems-announce" <cels-systems-announce>
Subject: MCS Webserver Outage
A very serious security vulnerability was disclosed yesterday and patches made available. In order to patch the web server that hosts the main MCS web site as well and personal web homes a reboot was required. Unfortunately the reboot is taking longer than anticipated, but the server should be up between 9:30 and 9:45. We're sorry for any inconvenience this causes.

CIS offering Web Application Developer Training, Jan 13.
Please see the below announcement from CIS. I encourage anyone who's doing web application development to attend, or at least one person from each group engaged in that sort of activity.
As the systems administrators, we get notified whenever a web app on a system we're responsible for has a detected vulnerability, and based on what we've encountered, I think there'd be some real benefit to picking up on some good coding practices (especially sanitizing input).
The CSPO is sponsoring web application developer training for anyone interested. The training will go over threats to web applications and best coding practices to mitigate attacks.
January 13th , 2015, 10:00am-2:00 p.m. Building 240 Rm. 1416
Forward this message to any developer that codes web applications and/or web service admins. Attend the training!
Hopefully you come out of the training with some action items to check the health of your web applications that are running in your inter/intra nets.
Please contact the cyber office for any more details. More information will be sent specifically to the CSPRs who requested their web applications to be tested.

Cannot exclude server from DAG backup
We are running Backup Exec 2012 1798.1300 64bit all patched etc.
We have 2 Exchange servers in our head office and 1 at our DR site. To facilitate no loss DR we have included the DR site in our DAG. I have no Agent installed on the DR site and have not included the server in the backup job. But the job still fails with the error
Backup- ****EX01.energydev.internal Remote Agent not detected on ****EX01.*****.*****.
I originally did install the agent on the remote server but the system seemed to default to the DR site. This caused the backups to run for days due to the bandwidth limitation to the remote site. I have uninstalled the Agent and restarted all servers. I have recreated the backup job without the DR site. It still complains about the DR site!
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
To perform successful backups and restores of exchange we need an agent to be installed on all the CAS and Mailbox servers in the DAG.
