March 25, 2004
UPCOMINGFollowing a stellar start to the 2004 outdoor season, the University of New Mexico men's and women's track teams return to competition on Saturday, March 27 at the UTEP Springtime Invitational. New Mexico will take on a top-notch field in the scored meet, including Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and UTEP. The action at historic Kidd Field in El Paso gets underway with the field events at 9:30 a.m. (MST). The running events are scheduled to begin at 12:15.
In last year's Springtime Invitational, a dual meet between UNM and UTEP, Amanda Barnes swept the shot put, discus and hammer throw to lead the Lobo women to victory. Saturday's competition is the fourth scored regular season meet of 2004. Excluding championship competition, UNM competed in just two scored meets during the 2003 indoor and outdoor seasons. Team scoring at the Springtime Invitational will follow a 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 format.
MEET INFORMATION/RESULTSComplete information and results from UTEP Springtime Invitational will be available at the official athletic department website of the Mountain West Conference:
UTEP Springtime Invitational results
FROM THE HARDWOOD TO THE HIGH JUMPJunior Alfred Neale is slated to make his UNM track and field debut this weekend in El Paso when he joins the high jump field. A high-flying 6-5 forward for the Lobo
OTHER TWO-SPORT TALENTSAlong with Neale, former Lobo defensive lineman Guillermo Morrison should also return to competition this weekend following a year off from competition. The 6-4, 295-pound Morrison earned all-MWC honors in the discus and also led the team in the shot put in 2002.
The Lobo jump group should get a big boost next month with the scheduled return of juniors Hank Baskett and Mike Powdrell, both wide receivers on the UNM football team. Baskett has been the outdoor MWC runner-up in the high jump the past two years, while Powdrell earned all-conference honors in the high jump and finished fifth in the long jump at the MWC meet in 2002. The duo started spring football practice this week, but should begin training on the track following the April 10 Cherry-Silver spring football game.
FROM HEAD COACH Matt Henry(on Lobos' competing in their fifth scored meet of the year this weekend): "I wish they had scored the meet last week (at the Willie Williams Classic). I think we would have won it. I thought we performed very well and to have five people qualify for regionals in our first outdoor meet was something else. This meet down in El Paso is going to be tough though. We're going up against some really talented teams, but I think our kids are looking forward to challenge."
LAST TIME (at Willie Williams Classic)TUCSON, Ariz. -- Junior Jamie Fishencord shattered her own school record in hammer throw to lead a strong University of New Mexico effort over the weekend (March 20-21) in the Lobos' first meet of the 2004 outdoor season, the Willie Williams Classic. Fishencord won the hammer with a throw of 174-10, which was nearly 20 feet beyond her previous best set last spring. Fellow junior Amanda Barnes also started the season strong, capturing the shot put crown with a mark of 48-02.75. Fishencord and Barnes were two of five New Mexico throwers to record qualifying marks for the NCAA Midwest Regional Championships over the two days of competition.
UNM freshman Kayla Brown had an outstanding collegiate debut, finishing second in the javelin with a toss of 142-05, just four inches ahead of teammate Veronica R. Gonzales, who was third. The marks for both women were career bests and secured their place in the Midwest Regional field at the end of the season. Barnes and Fishencord, meanwhile, also enjoyed career days in the discus, recording marks of 146-04 (6th) and 142-03 (8th), respectively.
Senior Jason Barkemeyer started his final campaign well, finishing fourth in the shot put with a regional qualifying mark of 54-05.50. Barkemeyer also placed fourth in the discus with a solid throw of 166-11. In other throwing events, redshirt junior Joshua Parra was fifth in the hammer (158-11), while sophomore decathlete Dan Feltman led a 2-3-5 finish by the javelin crew with a toss of 189-09.
New Mexico's pole vaulters also excelled over the weekend, placing three in the men's top-5. Junior Derek Mackel each cleared career bests, tying for third with a height of 16-02.75. Senior Mark Johnson, meanwhile, was fifth with a mark of 15-09.00. Junior Willie Yuen got his outdoor season off to a good start as well, finishing fifth in the triple jump with a career best leap of 46-00.75.
"I wish they had scored the meet last week (at the Willie Williams Classic). I think we would have won it. I thought we performed very well and to have five people qualify for regionals in our first outdoor meet was something else. We're going up against some really talented teams (on Saturday in El Paso), but I think our kids are looking forward to challenge."
Head coach Matt Henry
Sophomore Kimilia Davis paced the Lobos on the track, clocking a time of 56.85 in the 400 meters to earn her first career outdoor victory. Davis, who was also ninth in the 200, finished just over two seconds ahead of teammate Brandilyn Williams (58.59), who was fourth overall.
Junior Jacquelyne Gallegos finished just off her career-best in the 1,5000 in what was just her second outdoor race in the last two years. After missing virtually all of 2003 due to injuries suffered in a car accident, Gallegos was the top collegiate finisher, crossing the line with a time of 4:36.68. Senior Sarah Gonzales and freshman Riann Lucy turned in solid performances as well, finishing fourth in the 5,000 (18:10.73) and 800 (2:18.32), respectively.
On the men's side, junior Cameron Clarke led a 2-3-4 finish by the Lobos in the 1,500 meters, clocking a time of 3:55.37, just ahead of teammates Sean Flaherty and Nick Martinez. Senior Matt Bishop looked sharp in the 800, placing third with a time of 1:53.30. Senior Chris Garofola, meanwhile, turned in a career-best in the 400-meter hurdles, finishing second in the event with a time of 53.76.
JOHNSON STRIKES GOLDSenior Mark Johnson ended a 13-year drought by becoming the first member of the UNM men's team since 1991 to capture an indoor conference title with his stirring victory in the inaugural heptathlon competition at the Mountain West Conference Championships. Johnson, who entered day two of the competition in seventh place, won two of his final three events to earn his second career conference title.
The 2002 MWC decathlon champion won the 60m hurdles, then soared a career-best 16-00.75, over a foot higher than his nearest competitor, to take the pole vault. Holding a slim 78-point lead entering the final event of the day, the 1,000-meter run, Johnson did not falter, finishing second to tally an NCAA provisional qualifying score of 5,263. A two-time all-MWC honoree in the indoor pentathlon (replaced by the men's heptathlon in 2004), Johnson is also the first UNM man to win an indoor multi-event title.
2004 INDOOR SEASON NOTESThe New Mexico men's team recorded its best indoor conference meet score in 14 years...the Lobos finished fifth for the fourth straight year, but their 66 points were the most since tallying 118 in a second place finish at the 1990 WAC Championships...Amanda Barnes (shot put), Matt Gonzales (mile), Chris Garofola (200m), Mark Johnson (heptathlon), and the men's and women's distance medley relay teams earned all-MWC honors for New Mexico...the UNM men and women combined for 15 event victories over the winter, one more than their total of a year ago...four women and four men earned the first wins of their indoor career this season...head coach Matt Henry decided to redshirt senior sprinter Ahmed Raji for the 2004 indoor and outdoor seasons...Raji, an all-MWC honoree in the 200m and both the 4x100 and 4x400 relays, will return in 2005 for his final collegiate season.
GONZALES STANDS TALL AMONG NATION'S BESTINDIANAPOLIS -- University of New Mexico junior Matt Gonzales finished 13th out of a field of 112 runners in the 4,000-meter race at the 2004 USA Cross Country Championships on Feb. 7. Gonzales clocked a time of 11:42, just 20 seconds shy of earning a spot on the national team, in his first Cross Country Championships appearance. The top six finishers in the men's 4K and the 12,000-meter race were automatically selected for the USA national team.
Gonzales' time was also just 28 seconds behind the winner, Charlie Gruber, who was running for Nike Unattached. The Santa Fe native also finished 12 spots ahead of former Colorado State standout Bryan Berryhill, a former NCAA Champion and USA runner-up in the 1,500 last year.
"I really thought he could make that team," said UNM head coach Matt Henry. "He told me that he got off to a slow start and that it took him awhile to get used to the snow on the course, but he said that he passed at least 10 people on the final loop."
The 4,000-meter race is half the distance of most regular season collegiate cross country courses. The men move up to run a 10,000-meter race at NCAA regional and national championship competitions.

Gear Review
This bag is very nice, light and very warm...on the top half.I have slept 13 nights in it, and if you do not have an insulated pad you will literally freeze your butt off! The foot box on this bag is wider than most bags which is nice if you don't like your feet tied up and trapped. The zipper is nice, it will snag, but I haven't found a single no snag zipper sleeping bag that doesn't. As far as warmth goes, I have slept in 9 degrees in a BD Firstlight and ended up having to unzip because I was too hot. Great bag, BUY AN INSULATED PAD WITH IT!!

More New Hampshire students are turning to their computers for summer classes, mirroring a broader trend of increasing online enrollment in the state's university and community college systems.
Summer online enrollment in the Community College System of New Hampshire is up 11 percent over last year, said Shannon Reid, spokeswoman for the system, which includes seven colleges. Earlier this week, Chancellor Ross Gittell announced that systemwide summer enrollment – both traditional and online – had increased 4 percent. The boon is the result of course offerings in high-demand fields and the increased availability of online courses.
While preliminary figures for fall 2014 online enrollment hint at significant increases, hard data won't be in until the semester begins. Online degree programs have been embraced at different speeds by different schools, but for those colleges that have beefed up programming, staff and academic supports, an online degree is on par with a traditional one. Education leaders have also pushed for better access to college education in the past year, and online classes not only offer students flexibility timewise, but they also cut down on commutes.

MacBook can't start from harddisk
View Single Post
Member Since: Sep 09, 2010
Posts: 2
Okay this is what happened:
MacBook3,1 running Snow Leopard
Intel Core 2 Duo (2,2 GHz)
I was surfing around at facebook when my MacBook suddenly freeze
I cant do anything except moving the mouse and dragging windows around. Nothing happens if I press the shutdown button. After a while I decide to force shutdown. When I start the computer again I hear the startup sound but the round loading bar never appears. After a while I hear some beep sounds comming from the right side of the computer and a harddisk-question mark appears on the screen.
The first thing I do is to put the macosx snowleopard install dvd into my drive and boot from it. I open Disk Utility to see whats wrong, but my Macintosh HD drive doesnt appear above my dvddrive. Instead the harddisk changed name to "Media". Here is the specs shown of my harddrive "Media":
Disk Description : Media
Connection Bus : SATA
Connection Type : Internal
Total Capacity : 0 Bytes
Write Status : Read/Write
S.M.A.R.T Status : Not Supported
Partition Map Scheme : Unformatted
I cant Verify, Repair, Erase, Partion etc. Everything is greyed out.
Next I went to the Systemprofile to check if it can find my harddisk.
When I select Serial-ATA this message appears: There was an error while scanning for Serial-ATA devices.
This made me think that maybe the harddisk wasnt connected, so I pulled out battery and harddisk and replaced them again. I tried Disk Utility and Systemprofile again with the same result. (The harddisk didnt smell burned)
Last I tried to reset the PRAM but with no results.
Help me, what am I supposed to do?
I cannot seek advice at my applestore since I am currently on a trip in Brazil for a long time.
Thank you for any suggestions

Doug Chase
The town of Port Alberni, British Columbia in the 1960's, 70's, and 80's was like a lot of other small Canadian towns in the respect that in the summertime, fastpitch softball reigned supreme. And in Port Alberni, no family was more prominent on the playing field than the Chases. Each family member was an avid player, with a multitude of Provincial and several National appearances on their resumes. It turns out that Doug, the 5th of 6 children, would enjoy the most successful career of them all.
Following in the footsteps of his older brothers Rick and Vaughan, Doug took to the game quickly. As a youngster, he was a bit on the smallish side, sporting a bowl cut and his perpetual ensemble of shorts and gumboots. But boy, could he hit. He soon outgrew the competition at his own age level and began playing on his older brother's senior team, the Port Alberni Athletics. As the youngest member of that team he was awarded the Most Valuable Player Award at the 1983 Provincial Championships. The A's finished third that year, with the tournament gold going to Victoria Budget, the eventual national champions. This marked the start of a long career of superlative performances marked by Doug's rock solid defense and clutch hitting ability.
Doug led the mostly young but talented Port Alberni A's to Provincial Championships in 1986 and 1987 over the heavily favoured archrival Victoria Payless (previously Victoria Budget). In each year Doug hit decisive home runs to defeat the Victoria squad. His performances at the two subsequent National Championships attracted the attention of the Canadian National Team, which selected him to the 1988 club. He continued as a player or captain until he retired in 2000. Among Doug's successes with the National Team are three Pan American Games gold's and a World Championship gold in 1992.
The year 1988 was also significant as Doug joined Victoria Payless, as Port Alberni no longer had a team. The move, while hard at first, would lead Doug to several more successes on the ball field, both in Canada and abroad. The move also solidified an already strong Victoria club, looking to return to the winner's circle in the National Championships and challenge for the World title. The well-rounded club featured probably fastpitch softball's best ever tandem behind the plate with Doug and longtime teammate Rocky Vitale. As always, Chase was a critical component of Victoria's three National Championship teams of 1991, 1992 and 1997. He also chipped in three All Canadian honours during this span.
1988 also marked the first of 13 ISC Tournaments for Doug as well. Doug's career really took off with the increased exposure to the best competition that fastpitch softball had to offer. Doug was the Most Valuable Player in the ISC Northwest Travel League 4 times. No small feat considering the league featured some of the most imposing pitchers of the era, such as Jimmy Moore, Terry Bell, Graeme Robertson, Darren Zack and Mike Piechnik. Doug's dominance did not end at this level, however. He was an All World selection 5 times, winning the RBI title in 1996. In two of those years he led Victoria teams to the ISC final, losing to Sioux City National Health Care in 1992 and to Madison's Farm Tavern in 1997.
Chase's abilities went well beyond the defensive gems and mammoth blasts which were some of the hallmarks of his career. Doug's talent and competitive spirit made the teams he played on much stronger and inspired others to elevate their game as well. He will be remembered as a feared opponent and a respected and admired teammate.
Doug would like to thank his family, friends and many teammates over the years for providing him with a lifetime of memories. In particular he would like to acknowledge Mike Piechnik, an individual who "always gave us an opportunity to win" and who was a "treat to catch" as well. In addition, Doug would like to express his appreciation to National Team coach Terry Baytor. In Doug's words, he was "the one who taught me that successis a journey, not a destination". Finally, this tribute would not be complete without recognition of the two people who were instrumental to Doug's success. They would always be watching and supporting Doug at every level and locale. The unwavering support of Doug's parents, Orval and Eileen Chase will always be appreciated and never forgotten.

We brought Marc in from New Jersey to Halifax to speak on Search Engine Humanization at the Atlantic Interactive Marketing Conference because his message and methodology are authentic, easily implemented and forward-thinking. From the minute he started speaking it was clear he was going to be able to get his point across to the whole room. Marc ended up being the third highest ranking speaker at our conference, surpassed only by Gary V and Scott Stratten. I highly recommend hiring Marc to speak at your next conference.
Joseph Palumbo
When I think of Marc Ensign, I think of him proclaiming, "I need somebody who can see the opportunity in the problem, not the problem within the opportunity!" It is this perpetual optimism, unwavering tenacity and humanistic approach that has made Marc such a profound advocate for his friends, colleagues and clients. Marc's energy and experience when it comes to motivating people and innovative problem solving has undoubtedly changed my team's trajectory for the good of our company and scores of other customers. Marc Ensign is the closest thing this industry has to a Jerry Maguire!
Justine Smith

Marc has presented many workshops for SCORE over the past several years with topics such as Search Engine Optimization and Website Design Tips for Growing Your Business. He has an obvious in depth knowledge of these very technical subjects, but has the ability to present the information in a way that is easily understood by people of all levels. His presentations are very professional and he is quite comfortable in front of groups and speaks with confidence. All attendees are asked to fill out an evaluation form at the end of each workshop and Marc always receives very positive feedback. He is now one of our most popular speakers.

It now ranks equally with key competitors, for the first time in the history of their site. Thank you so much!

Study Spanish in Colombia
Study Spanish COLOMBIA is a cooperative of the largest and most experienced Spanish Language Schools in Colombia. Our network of independently owned Spanish schools are conveniently located in Colombia's major tourism cities – Medellin, Bogota and Cartagena.

Why Learn Spanish in Colombia?
It's not a difficult choice. With international newspapers voting Colombia as one of the top destinations to visit in 2015 tourism to Colombia is booming.
The Colombians are said to be the happiest people on earth. They welcome visitors with open arms and a smile. The Colombian accent is neutral making it much easier to learn and understand (unlike the Spaniards or Argentinians for example). And it's widely known that that Colombian Spanish is much purer in form and structure.
Luckily Colombia has transformed in recent years finally giving you the opportunity to learn Spanish here. Forget what you've seen on television, Colombia is now a safe, modern and economically thriving economy with tourism reaching record levels. That's why Colombia is the fastest growing destination to study Spanish abroad.

Apple Knows Where You Are
Apple now tracks you "precisely" via your iPhone or iPod Touch if it is running iOS 4. Don't believe me? It's true. In fact, if you read the June 21st version of their privacy policy you might notice this little gem:
"To provide location-based services on Apple products, Apple and our partners and licensees may collect, use, and share precise location data, including the real-time geographic location of your Apple computer or device. This location data is collected anonymously in a form that does not personally identify you and is used by Apple and our partners and licensees to provide and improve location-based products and services. For example, we may share geographic location with application providers when you opt in to their location services.
Some location-based services offered by Apple, such as the MobileMe 'Find My iPhone' feature, require your personal information for the feature to work."
Scared yet?
You really shouldn't be. Apple is now in the business of selling advertisements (remember the AdMob fiasco with Google) with their iAd service. Location based ads are the new thing, and part of the natural evolution of the industry. Google has been doing the same thing for a while now with its Android OS based phones. If you are genuinely worried, you can opt out of the iAd service here with your phone (however, ZDNet is reporting that the link is not working). Another option is to go to your iOS 4 powered device's settings and disable applications from using the data (Settings > General > Location Services).
In the grand scheme of things, Mark Zuckerberg is a far more dangerous opponent than Apple when it comes to your privacy and personal information. After all, his Facebook knows pretty much everything about you. And we all know his opinion on privacy via his now infamous IM exchange with a friend when he was 19 after just having started Facebook, "Zuck: They 'trust me'…Dumb *expletive*."
For the truly paranoid about privacy, good old pre-paid phones are available, and a Facebook account is a no-no. The rest of us will just have to opt-out and be more careful about the information that we share. Have an opinion on Apple's move to give us targeted advertisements? Let me know.Apple, apple privacey, apple security, apple iads

Updated: 04/30/2013 9:14 AM KSTP.com By: Aaron Chalich
Last week Capcom released "Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen" and I got the opportunity to play a review copy of the game and it is amazing.
"Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen" is an expansion to "Dragon's Dogma" that was released in 2012. There are a bunch of new features that include:
One really cool thing is that if you have never played "Dragon's Dogma" you can play the full story with all of the new features added in. If you have played "Dragon's Dogma," you can upload your previous save file and use the character from the game. You then can just go to the new areas that you have never explored before. You will have all of your skills and you can continue your adventure.
I never got the chance to play "Dragon's Dogma" so this was a great way for me to play it and I was blown away.
"Dragons Dogma" is an epic role playing game (RPG) and your character is a knight. You start out right away fighting a Chimera with a group of other knights. You defeat the Chimera and some time passes. You eventually go to a fishing village where a dragon is starting to destroy the village.
You try to stop the dragon, but instead the dragon takes your heart and puts a magic spell on you. You are now the "Arisen" and you must go on an epic journey to try and find the dragon that took your heart. After you find the dragon you must kill it to break the spell.
I really liked the story and thought that it was very well written. It was exciting and full of action and dramatic scenes.
I felt that the story was unique and it made me want to keep playing the game, because I wanted to see how the story was going to unfold.
The graphics are amazing and everything looks wonderful. The characters look lifelike and the monsters you fight are very detailed. The scenery is also very detailed and beautifully done.
There are so many different monsters and they all look unique. The bosses are huge and are very well done. They are complex and very challenging to beat. The enemies also have their own unique ways to attack and that makes playing the game challenging, because you have to figure out what kind of attack you need to use against them.
As you start the game you can choose which type of character you want to play as. You can choose to be a fighter, mage, warrior, mystic knight, strider, magic archer, assassin, or sorcerer. Then you get to choose if you want to be a male or female and then you can customize the character. You can choose if you want a beard or mustache, type of clothes, scars, etc…
After you create your character then you can get right into the game.
I felt that the controls for "Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen" were very easy to learn and everyone should be able to pick them up and play right away. At the beginning of the game you can choose to look at the instruction manual.
Then while you are playing the game, there is a menu at the bottom right of the screen that shows you the layout of the buttons that you can push to do things and the commands are by the buttons you need to push to do what you want. For instance to talk to someone you need to push the "O" button.
As you walk by someone the words "Speak" will appear by the button on the screen so you know that by pressing "O" you will talk to the person. I thought that this was very helpful because there is a lot going on in the game and it was nice to just look quickly at the little menu to see what button I needed to push to do something.
There is also an in-game tutorial that will also explain everything to you. As you come to a new area or need to do a new task a little menu will pop up explaining what you need to do and why you need to do it. At any point in the game you can pause and look at all of this information again to refresh your memory. I thought this was also very helpful because there are so many things to remember and this was a nice feature.
As you play you will gain experience points and as you gain a certain amount, your character will get stronger and will learn new skills that will help you in your adventure. You can buy different skills for your character and you get to choose which skills would be best for your character.
There are many different items money, weapons and armor to find. You can also find different materials that you can use to make your weapons stronger. You can go into a menu to see how much damage each weapon will do and how much your armor will protect your character.
I really enjoyed how you fight in "Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen." You attack by pushing the square or triangle buttons. You can move around and attack and I really liked that a lot. You can also use your shield to block and to attack with it as well.
Fighting the bosses is absolutely unbelievable, because they are so huge and they take a long time to beat. When you encounter a boss you can see how much health they have by a meter at the top of the screen. This was nice because you could see what attacks were working and which ones were not. One cool feature is that you can grab onto the bosses and climb up onto them.
Once you are on them you can attack, but they can throw you off.
Another neat thing that I really liked about "Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen" is that there are things in the game called rifts. There are stones all over in the game that you can explore and they will take you to another realm where you can choose to have a "pawn" help you in your quest.
You can choose up to three pawns and they all have different skills and abilities to help you though the game. In my experience playing the game, I found it very helpful to have a mixture of characters in your party. It was nice to have a mage so they can cast magic spells and heal you, plus someone that can shoot arrows from a distance helped out a lot in battles.
You can also customize a pawn and you can share them online, so other players can view them and actually use them if they want.
One last thing that I want to mention is the quests. There are tons of quests that you can go on. There are main quests that you must do to complete the game and there are also tons of side quests that you can do to gain money, equipment, etc…
You can talk to people and they will ask you to do things for them and in return they will give you an item or new weapon, plus there is a board in some of the towns that you visit that will have quests posted on them. You can do as many quests as you want and you can see all of the quests that you have agreed to do by going to a menu.
You can choose which quest you want to make a priority and it will show you on your map where you need to go. I really liked the quests a lot and felt that it really added a lot to "Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen."
I really enjoyed Capcom's "Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen" a lot. The story and graphics were amazing. The controls were very easy to learn and anyone can pick up the game and play it. The game is very complex and challenging.
"Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen" is rated "M" for blood and gore, partial nudity, suggestive themes, and violence. This game is not for kids, but adults will really enjoy it. "Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen" will have new and veteran players entertained for many hours.

Albuquerque police have caught a serial car thief who is also accused of trying to run over four police officers.
Police say Joshua Herrera is well known for stealing cars, driving them around until they're out of gas and then parking them near his home in Carnuel.
Police say when they caught Herrera parking stolen car last week he nearly hit four different officers who lunged out of the way of the vehicle he was driving as he tried to escape.
He's charged with four counts of aggravated assault on a peace officer with a deadly weapon, among other charges.

Once again, UC stands for Ungodly Compensation.
The problem seemed to be coming under control after years of rising executive pay at the University California, angering students hit hard by tuition hikes and faculty facing salary freezes. Last summer, new UC President Janet Napolitano agreed to a salary ($570,000) that's $21,000 less than predecessor Mark Yudof received. And over in the Cal State University system, new chancellor Timothy White took $10,000 less than the man he followed, and a half-dozen new campus chiefs went without their usual raises.
But last week, the UC Board of Regents approved the hiring of Jagdeep Singh Bachher as the university's new chief investment officer, at compensation of $615,000 in base salary and as much as $1,014,750 with annual incentive bonuses.

Relative to other systems it's great, but I definitely can't just purchase a device and expect it to be essentially plug n play.what is "a device"?
I forgot to respond to this, obviously they don't have a mini rotating antenna, that's not how it's done, they have an antenna array that gives a very similar effect. Interestingly enough, this should also make WPA2 more secure since capturing handshakes after sending DEAUTHs should prove more difficult.Yeah, sounds very good on paper. But most WLAN router vendors make devices that don't have highly sophisticated antenna grids but just two omni-antennas attached to the back of the router. In these cases, beam-forming is just a buzzword to sell more devices to people like you.

73 if (port == "") port = "usb";
72 string port = TranslateSerialUSB(DATA_Get_COM_Port_on_PC());the "port" string would need to be assigned with other owfs device options to achieve the wanted behaviour. So one could probably add a device parameter for a specific owfs init string. If that is set it would take precedence over COM_Port_on_PC.

"I don't eat mayo, so I brushed mine with a little olive oil. Great snack or appetizer!"
"Awesome recipe...and so easy to make. I used fresh avocado instead of mayonnaise."
"I absolutely love this recipe. I have shared it with others and they started to make it too. I use McCormick Perfect Pinch Basil and Garlic in place of the fresh basil."
"I added pepperoni underneath the tomatoes and they were delicious."
"Great after school snack for the toaster oven that my daughter is allowed to use! I use english muffins, bagel thins, whole wheat hamburger buns or a 8" flour tortilla!

Lehigh President Alice P. Gast has been recognized as one of 40 highly accomplished women who made a significant impact on society after playing sports in high school or college during the 40 years since the enactment of Title IX in 1972.
As Lehigh University celebrated 40 years of coeducation this past year and an outstanding year of success in collegiate athletics, the nation is celebrating four decades since the enactment of the Title IX amendment.
This is a fitting celebration to mark at Lehigh, where women's athletic programs have been very strong. The 1992 women's cross country team holds the honor of being the university's first Patriot League championship team, and the softball team has won the most Patriot League championships in the university's history.
Now, Lehigh President Alice P. Gast has been recognized as one of 40 highly accomplished women who made a significant impact on society after playing sports in high school or college during the 40 years since the enactment of Title IX in 1972.
The 40 FOR 40 list—released by the Women's Sports Foundation, in collaboration with espnW and Women in Cable Telecommunications—celebrates honorees in a wide range of fields, including Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), Sports, Business, Medicine, Law, Arts and Entertainment, and others.
Gast competed on relays, the long jump and 440 for an Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) team, the Long Beach Comets, while in junior and high school in southern California. The 40 FOR 40 list honors her for her role in Academia and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). Among the other honorees are actress and author Tina Fey (Arts and Entertainment); U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y. (Government/Civil Service); DuPont chair and CEO Ellen Kullman, who delivered the 2011 commencement address at Lehigh University (Business and STEM); actress and recording artist Queen Latifah (Arts and Entertainment); former U.S. Secretary of State and Stanford political science professor Condoleezza Rice (Government/Civil Service and Academia); Sally Ride, who was the first female astronaut (STEM); and tennis star Venus Williams (Sports).
"Title IX has opened the door for generations of young women to excel in athletics as well as in the classroom, building character, confidence and poise while learning vital lessons about the importance of teamwork and dedication to accomplishing a goal," Gast says. "I am grateful for the opportunities this landmark legislation has provided to young women at Lehigh and beyond and I am honored to be included in the company of such esteemed women."
Increased athletic and educational opportuniies
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 requires schools and colleges receiving federal money in any education program or activity to provide the same opportunities for girls as they provide for boys. According to the Women's Sports Foundation, which was founded in 1974 by tennis legend Billie Jean King, Title IX has resulted in a tremendous increase in the number of girls participating in high school sports—from 1 in 27 in 1972 to about 2 in 5 today.
Title IX has made its impact felt in terms of athletic participation as well as in educational opportunities for girls and women. According to several studies, the combination of the two has produced significant long-term educational, health and economic benefits for women.
"The timing and influence of Title IX is remarkably aligned with the history of women and women's athletics at Lehigh," Gast says. "This year, we celebrated our 40th year of enrolling women as undergraduates and we continue to celebrate the scholarship, leadership and service of women on this campus and among our alumni community. In Athletics, we have seen the number of our varsity women's sports teams grow from three to 12, and athletics participation opportunities exceed the expanding numbers of women undergraduates on a proportional basis."
Gast, an internationally renowned scholar, researcher and academic leader, was appointed the 13th president of Lehigh University in 2006. Prior to her appointment at Lehigh, she served as the vice president for research and associate provost at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and held the Robert T. Haslam chair in chemical engineering. She previously spent 16 years as a professor of chemical engineering at Stanford University and the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory.

Wed, 20 Mar 2013 10:44
So you think you are neat? You think you'll go to extremes to defend your love of tidiness and ensure everything is perfectly organised? Well, Ursus Wehrli might raise the bar a little bit...
The modern world can get messy. Fortunately, Swiss artist Ursus Wehrli is a man of obsessive order, as he demonstrates with eye-catching surprise in The Art of Clean Up. Tapping into the desire for organization and the insanity of uber-order, Wehrli humorously categorizes everyday objects and situations by color, size, and shape. He arranges alphabet soup into alphabetical order, sorts the night sky by star size, and aligns sunbathers' accoutrements -- all captured in bright photographs sure to astonish even the pickiest of neat freaks.

Police authority 'alarmed' over Coppers show
Posted: January 21, 2012|
POLICE officers have been slammed for their behaviour after appearing on a Channel 4 TV documentary.
The programme called Coppers was broadcast on Monday night and followed police officers on patrol in Nottingham.
But the behaviour of some officers has now been criticised and two incidents have been referred to Notts Police's Professional Standards Board.
In one incident a female police officer is seen pulling a 14-year-old girl to the ground, while in the other a man in Exchange Walk is seen being pushed over by a male officer.
Kevin Dennis, chief executive of Notts Police Authority, said members were "appalled by what appears to be a lack of respect between some police officers and members of the public."
He added: "The Police Authority was disturbed and alarmed by the behaviour of some police officers who participated in the first two programmes of Coppers. We have made representations to the Chief Constable about our concerns and we will continue actions to address and improve the culture and behaviour of Notts Police."
Jackie Alexander, head of the Professional Standards Directorate at Notts Police, said the force was taking seriously any complaint made in respect of the programme.Notts Police Deputy Chief Constable Chris Eyre on why the force took part in 'Coppers'
A year ago Notts Police was approached by a television company interested in filming a series of programmes to show the realities of modern day policing and some of the very difficult and unique challenges our officers face on a daily basis.
The documentary makers had previously worked with other forces across the country on similar films. The programmes they make are, by their very nature, gritty and edgy. That's because they show the devastating impact crime can have on victims, the challenges we face in dealing with offenders – some of whom are violent towards police officers – and the huge pressures and strains officers find themselves placed under.
We saw this as an opportunity to show the problems encountered by a modern day police force and the professionalism of our officers in dealing with those challenges in a range of operational roles.
So far you have seen officers working to drive down burglary, dealing with high-risk offenders and protecting the most vulnerable in our society. You have also seen the challenges facing officers responding to emergencies and the courage shown last summer as they protected the city and our communities as violence and disorder spread across the country.
As a result of their hard work we now have the lowest crime rates in 30 years and we have seen a significant rise in public satisfaction rates, taking us from 36th to ninth in a league table of 43 police forces in England and Wales.
In future programmes you will see neighbourhood and other specialist officers and staff working to improve community safety, catch criminals and support victims.
While the overall public reaction to the first two episodes has been positive, there is no doubt some have found these programmes uncomfortable viewing and have expressed concern or disappointment in what they saw.
As these programmes have been broadcast I have taken the opportunity within the force to acknowledge the excellent work of many of the participants. I have also explicitly reinforced the values that underpin policing in the United Kingdom and my expectation that police officers and staff act professionally at all times and demonstrate their commitment to our communities through an unqualified respect for the dignity of those we serve and work with.
The series provides a unique insight and one which I hope will give a greater understanding of the challenges we face and a greater appreciation of our work in helping to create safe, confident and thriving communitiesAhead of Monday's episode of Coppers, Alexander Britton looks at the strong reactions provoked by the first two shows
With its gritty portrayal of life on the front line of policing – including a focus on Notts Police – Coppers has proven to be a powerful series.
However, some of the Channel 4 footage has prompted strong words from Notts Police Authority, which oversees the work of the force.
Kevin Dennis, chief executive of the organisation, said: "Members of the Police Authority are appalled by what appears to be a complete lack of respect between some police officers and members of the public. The police authority was disturbed and alarmed by the behaviour of some police officers who have participated in the first two programmes."
He said two incidents shown in the programme last Monday had been referred to the Professional Standards Department at Notts Police.
In one, a female police officer pulls a 14-year-old girl to the ground, with her mother crying out: "That's my daughter."
The mother adds in an interview: "They should not have done that. She's only 14 – it was absolutely disgusting."
But another officer said: "Had her daughter not been intoxicated, had her daughter probably moved when we first asked her to move, that situation would never have happened."
In the second incident, a man is pushed to the floor in Exchange Walk, city centre, by a male officer.
An officer who was at the scene said: "He was going to carry on chirping offensive language like that, so I wanted him well away."
Mr Dennis said the police authority was not consulted during the making of the show. He said: "This was an operational decision of Nottinghamshire Police. We have made representations to the Chief Constable about our concerns and we will continue actions to address and improve the culture and behaviour of Notts police."
Meanwhile, the head of Notts Police's Professional Standards Directorate said she would be taking any complaint seriously.
Jackie Alexander said: "We acknowledge that the language and behaviour demonstrated by some of those participating in the programme do not meet the professional standards that we expect for all our officers and staff and we will be addressing this with the individuals concerned. We are also commencing work to ensure that everyone representing Notts Police clearly understands why such comments and behaviours are contrary to the values we hold."

Auburn Hills, MI (Sports Network) - Ben Gordon scored 15 points in the fourth quarter and finished the game with 19 points as the Pistons beat the Raptors, 76-73, at the Palace of Auburn Hills on Sunday.
Brandon Knight poured in 19 points as well and Greg Monroe ripped down 17 rebounds to snap Detroit's three-game losing streak.
"It's hard to describe," said Detroit head coach Lawrence Frank about the low scoring affair. "It was either good defense or some offense struggling for both teams. It was a grind it out kind of game."
DeMar DeRozan paced the Raptors with 16 points and Linas Kleiza chipped in 12 as Toronto fell for the seventh time in nine games.
After scoring just 29 points in the first half, Detroit exploded for 24 in the third quarter. Charlie Villanueva's three-pointer from the left corner sent the Pistons into the fourth with a 53-50 lead.
Toronto regained the lead with the first five points of the fourth and led by as many as four at the midpoint of the fourth when the Pistons reeled off six straight before Ed Davis tied the game at 68-68 with a dunk.
Gordon scored the next six for the Pistons, but a Kleiza triple and a Solomon Alabi tip in had the Raptors within 74-73 with 39.9 ticks on the clock.
Detroit went just 2-of-4 from the line over the final 20 seconds but Alan Anderson missed a go-ahead three-point try and Kleiza was off the mark on a game-tying three with under a second to play as Detroit hung on for the victory.
"We were right there. We had a lot of opportunities," said Kleiza. "I wasn't able to make the final shot to put it to overtime, but we had chances and that's all you can ask for."
Earlier in the game, DeRozan tallied eight of the Raptors' 15 first quarter points as Toronto took a 15-14 edge into the second stanza.
The Pistons shot just 27 percent in the first half and Toronto recorded seven of the final 10 points in the half to take a 34-29 lead into the locker room.
The Raptors will travel to Milwaukee on Monday before wrapping up the season at home against the Nets on Thursday...Detroit will head to Indiana on Monday before closing out the season at home against Philadelphia on Thursday...There were 21 lead changes and 16 ties in the contest.

WPF + UISpy = Accessibility testing
Well, some of Doron's scripts make commenting to this post(hebrew) disabled, however today I want to write about WPF accessibility issues. Someone who writes code really know what is it? I'm pretty sure, that do not. Let's make small test case. Execute regular WinForms application and Accessibility Speech engine (you can find it under Start->Accessories->Ease of Access->Narrator). Try to open calculator and go to application menu. You'll hear something like: "Menu Item Edit. Three menu items. Copy Menu Item, shorkey Control C". Where it comes from. Does narrator understand every control? How to know or control what should say? Open SpyUI from Windows SDK. Find "Calculator" node in elements tree and expand it. You'll find everything that Narrator speaking. This discovered by windows API in regular win forms.
Well. Now let's create simple WPF application with menu bar, button and listbox and let UISpy detect it.
Well, it works. But not so good. "Edit" menu item has Copy menuitem inside, but UISpy do not know about it. It's detects the containment of listbox, so it works until we have no data binded. Let's bind and see what we have.
Please see, that instead of what we actually see, there are System.Xml.XmlElement items are displayed. Actually, UISpy is right. We are using data, that WPF engine renders into UI. But we can not leave it this way. What to do? Make it accessible. Here the way.
First of all, we have to set TextSearch.TextPath property to our actual text. Next, override ItemContainerStyle to set its AutomationProperties.Name value to be binded to the source of text, we want to make accessible. Here the code.
<ListBox ItemTemplate="{StaticResource template}" DataContext="{StaticResource data}" ItemsSource="{Binding}" TextSearch.TextPath="@value"> <ListBox.ItemContainerStyle> <Style> <Setter Property="AutomationProperties.Name" Value="{Binding XPath=@value}"/> </Style> </ListBox.ItemContainerStyle> </ListBox>
If you'll bind Automation Name property inside data template it will not work, 'cos for real WPF engine do not render text objects, so the only way to do it is by overriding those properties externally. How we can tell? Right property in wrong place
And here the result of such approach in UISpy. Now you can run Narrator or any other accessibility application and everything will work fine.
The conclusions are as following:
1) UISpy is extremely important tool for accessibility check
2) WPF is not very friendly from this point of view in current version, but I'm sure, that next release will fix those issues.

It is mostly imporant to pay attention to those things.
In one of the project I've participated in (C&C for military platform) we were creating a GIS based system with polyline drawing option. Unfortantly, the programming team was responsible of the coloring (Tamir was talking today about what happens when programmers are responsible of GUI..) – which later was discovered as a major problem.
Some of the soldiers which were the operators of this system were daltonists, which mean – they couldn't see any difference between the green polylines and the red ones.
The system had no support for templating nor color configuration, and it caused us deploying another set of assemblies.
The ambiguity in projects' accessibility is a bummer indeed.
