Hey Reefer Boy! Jason was elected to the NEW JERSEY STATE ASSEMBLY not the US Congress!
WOW, the first picture taken in history of a candidate with his family at the polls! Someone alert the media! We must stop this before it becomes some sort of trend!!!!! Wait call Guiness Book of World Records, Grimreefer smoking the most reefer ever!
Some times you have to say things that you would rather that your "school age - children" not hear, maybe Jason just wants his "school age - children" to have GOOD PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS in their schools? Wow a father that cares about his children, what the "HELL" is he doing in politics? Go Jason, give Christie HELL!!!
If Jason O'Donnell is a dope then you must be a moron beyond anything that a reasonable person can precieve! Jason never worked as a teacher, though he has volunteered helping with inner city kids in summer programs. UMDNJ? Jason never worked there either. He formerly owned a small business and served as a Bayonne firefighter for over 17 years before becoming a city director and assemblyman. The 31 District is lucky to have a man of conviction rather than a man with with convictions (Tony Chiappone) representing us!

Pocket Now received some marketing materials via an anonymous tipster showing off another addition to Verizon's Android lineup, the Casio G'zOne Commando. This heavy duty phone seems to be aimed at the working man or Bear Grylls wanna-be and touts full resistance to shock, water and dust (what, no bullets?).
Besides being used as a weapon, the phone includes a 3.6 inch Gorilla Glass display, 800×480 screen resolution
, 5 megapixel camera, 800Mhz processor and 512MB RAM . Casio was also gracious enough to load it with some of their custom G'zGEAR apps like a thermometer, pedometer and digital compass.
Its also listed that it will be shipping with Android 2.2 Froyo and what looks like some kind of custom UI as a topping. As far as a Gingerbread update is concerned, I'd go off Casio's track record with Android phones except they have none.
Update: Android Central has receieved a leaked release date and its looks like you can go Commando (I'm sorry, I had to) starting April 28th.

The newly launched Israeli-Palestinian "proximity talks" have two remarkable features. One is the consensus, even among doves, that the talks have no chance of success. The other is the consensus that the onus for their success rests entirely on Israel.
Regarding the first, here are two of many examples: David Makovsky of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, once an enthusiastic peace-processor, warned last month that "whenever it is all-or-nothing in the Middle East, it is nothing. We should not set ourselves up for failure." Avi Issacharoff, who covers Palestinian affairs for left-wing Haaretz, published an analysis whose title says it all: "Indirect Mideast peace talks – a highway to failure."
Regarding the second, even Barack Obama's media cheerleader-in-chief, Roger Cohen of the New York Times, noticed the embarrassing imbalance: "Israel will refrain from provocations of the Ramat Shlomo kind (those planned 1,600 housing units in East Jerusalem) and will promise to get substantive, on borders above all. Palestinians will promise to, well, show up."
And Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was explicit about it. Addressing the American Jewish Committee last month, she declared: "Israel must do its part by respecting the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people, stopping settlement activity, addressing the humanitarian needs in Gaza, and supporting the institution-building efforts of the Palestinian Authority." The Arab states also have obligations, like helping to fund the PA and backing its negotiating efforts. And the PA's obligations? About that, she hadn't a word to say.
Putting these two facts together, what emerges? Noah suggested that the talks' inevitable failure is actually the point, as it will give Obama an excuse for imposing his own peace plan. I agree with the first half of this conclusion. But if the goal were merely an Obama peace plan, it wouldn't be necessary to place the onus on Israel in advance: any impasse, regardless of who was to blame, would provide an equally good excuse.
Therefore, I think the goal is simpler: to provide an excuse for putting more "daylight" between America and Israel — presumably entailing substantive sanctions rather than merely the hostile rhetoric employed hitherto — and thereby further Obama's goal of rapprochement with the Arab world.
Why is the proximity-talks charade necessary? Because currently, Obama lacks both public and congressional support for moving beyond mere verbal hostility. If he didn't realize this before, the backlash to his March temper tantrum over Ramat Shlomo would certainly have convinced him.
So he needs to up the ante by painting Israel's government as responsible for torpedoing a key American foreign-policy initiative — one he has repeatedly framed as serving both a vital American national interest and a vital Israeli one. He could then argue not only that Israel deserves punishment but that such punishment would actually serve Israel's interests.
To avoid this trap, Jerusalem must launch its own PR campaign in America now to put the focus back where it belongs: on Palestinian unwillingness to accept a Jewish state. For if Israel lets Obama control the narrative, the public and congressional support on which it depends may be irretrievably undermined.

Top 10 Reasons You Shouldn't Meet The Parents
Page 1 of 2There could be several reasons why you should probably not meet the parents just yet, and the following are 10 lighthearted reasons why you should postpone the inevitable. Hope you enjoy it.
10. You have more tattoos than Tommy LeeOkay, so maybe Tommy has still got you beat, but there is something about having the Sistine Chapel plastered all over your back that might turn off her parents.
9. You flipped the bird to her father
So you gave him the finger while pulling out of your parking spot. He may have cut you off and splashed water on your car, but you must still control your temper, especially when you don't know who is in the other car. Hopefully for you, her dad was focusing on your finger, not your face.
8. You were caught with another womanRun to the hills. Simple. If you got caught with someone else, you might be lucky and get away with it so long as her parents don't recognize you (escorting a goddess might ensure that her father was looking at her and not you, but you're probably still toast when it comes to her mom).
7. Your mug appears all over America's Most WantedSo, you haven't told your girlfriend about your stint upstate with Bubba and friends. Once the family finds out, chances are that the parents will "kindly" ask you to get off their property before they shoot you for trespassing.
6. Your prison cell isn't so welcomingYou were young, you were naïve, you got busted. You have to do time. You know you will be getting out soon, so why not wait until you get your "Get out of jail" card and change out of the stripes before you meet her folks?
Stay far away from the parents if...

The Game Is Afoot
The Knoxville Police Department received a call on Monday, July 13, from a Northwest Knoxville man who believes he has undergone a series of attempts on his life... made by rattlesnakes... acting as tools of a criminal conspiracy.
Both incidents occurred late last year, one in September at his apartment, and one in November at a nearby motel. Both times the man reported being bitten on his feet and legs; and once, he said, he believes he heard a rattling sound. He did not report ever having actually seen a snake, nor did he explain why he waited almost eight months to report the alleged attacks. It seems it could have been a paralyzing fear of the immense powers of his pursuers.
The man told police that he believes the snakes may be related to his testimony in a criminal trial, presumably acting as unknowing agents of a nefarious Moriarty-like puppetmaster who sits behind the curtains of Knoxville's criminal underworld silently pulling the strings. Dance, Knoxville, dance! You will never catch the Invisible King!
The police gave the man a report number and promised to pursue an investigation into what this newspaper is officially dubbing, The Adventure of the Tennessee Death Rattle.

Transfer Academy for Tomorrow's Engineers (TATE)
The UTSA College of Engineering has formed a collaborative partnership with the Alamo Colleges predicated on intervention strategies designed to increase the academic success of first-generation students who have been traditionally underserved. Both institutions have implemented a variety of program initiatives over the past decade to address the decline of engineering-oriented majors between their respective student populations; however, there is still significant work to be done to cultivate a highly skilled workforce of engineers. Both institutions are committed to preparing students by creating paths of study that provide a seamless transition from Alamo Colleges to the College of Engineering at UTSA. They acknowledge the fact that this partnership represents an unprecedented opportunity for a select cohort of transfer students and will require ongoing collaboration.
Under the direction of the UTSA Office of P-20 Initiatives, the TATE program will provide a cohort of 25 eligible students access to a clearly defined pathway bridging their academic work at Alamo Colleges and at UTSA.
Three Goals:
- Form a collaborative partnership between UTSA College of Engineering and Alamo Colleges to increase the number of first-generation students who pursue an engineering major.
- Address Rigor, Relevance, and Relationships as they pertain to engineering education at UTSA.
- Recruit, educate, and graduate more first-generation engineering majors.
2012-2013 TATE Cohort
UTSA Ready
UTSA Ready is an early assessment and academic preparation program that is conducted in collaboration with local school districts. The goal of this unprecedented partnership is to ensure that high school students have the English and mathematics college readiness skills required by UTSA.
The assessment and academic preparation provided under this program allows teachers, parents, and UTSA to know exactly how well a cohort of students are prepared for college-level work. The students are given a diagnostic assessment and are assigned an instructor who assists them with their individual learning paths and is responsible for identifying any additional tutoring needs. The students are able to participate in Saturday Academic Enrichment Seminars (SAES) that are designed to improve their college readiness skills in either mathematics or English. Additionally, eligible students will be provided the option to take a credit by exam for College Algebra courses offered at UTSA.
The mission of UTSA Ready is to have the students prepared to enroll in credit-bearing courses and not spend time and money on remedial work.
Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP 2)
The GEAR UP 2 program is a collaborative partnership between UTSA & San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD) and is administered by the Office of P-20 Initiatives. As the university partner, UTSA is responsible for creating a college going culture in the community by way of a combination of innovative outreach activities and academic programming. The initial mode of outreach was through the use of the Mobile Go Center (MGC), which is a "lab on wheels". The project team visited specifically low-to-moderate income families and economically disadvantaged students from the San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD). This approach is premised on "taking the classroom to the neighborhood" to ensure that students, parents, and teachers are exposed to college and career readiness materials in both English and Spanish. We are in the second year of a seven-year grant initiative.
San Antonio Mentoring Forum
The San Antonio Mentoring Forum (SAMF) serves as an informal organization for mentoring organizations and advocates to share mentoring information, promote mentoring awareness, learn of mentoring best-practices and foster collaboration in the mentoring community. The focus of the SAMF is one-to-one mentoring for youth in the Bexar County area - http://utsa.edu/mentoring/.
The Office of P-20 Initiatives strives to implement research-proven practices and programs. As part of our mission, we have established the following list of current articles and studies that address P-20 pipeline issues. The list is not designed to be exhaustive and will be periodically updated to assure that current best practices impacting the P-20 pipeline are available for our constituents. To access the articles/studies, please click on the headings listed below.

Aug. 10, 2007
By Charles Bare
Special to GoHolyCross.com
Coming off a 2006 season in which it went 7-4 overall and 4-2 in the Patriot League, the Holy Cross football team has high hopes heading into the 2007 campaign. The team has shown constant improvement during its first three years under the direction of head coach Tom Gilmore, and will look to compete for the Patriot League title this season.
On the offensive side of the ball, the Crusaders return seven starters and 13 of the 22 players on last season's final two-deep chart. That group will look to build on the success which they had a year ago, when they led the conference in total offense (384.4 yards per game), passing offense (271.5 yards per game) and third down conversions (46.3 percent). With all of the experience returning, Holy Cross could develop one of the top offenses in the nation this season.
As for the defense, the Crusaders have six starters back from a unit which began to establish itself as a force in the Patriot League. Holy Cross allowed just 21.4 points and 335.4 yards per game in 2006, which ranked as the team's best numbers since the 2000 campaign. The Crusaders should remain strong against the pass this season with three starters returning in the secondary, after leading the conference in pass efficiency defense (108.4 rating) a year ago.
Here is a position-by-position breakdown of how the Crusaders should look in 2007.
|Dominic Randolph
The Holy Cross offense will be led by junior quarterback Dominic Randolph, who established himself as one of the top signal callers in the Patriot League last season. In 2006, Randolph completed 184 of 299 attempts for 2,237 yards and 19 touchdowns with just six interceptions. Now that he has a year of collegiate experience under his belt, Randolph should lead the Crusaders to even more success in 2007.
"Dominic Randolph has established himself as an outstanding player, and we are counting on him to perform at a very high level, based on what he was able to do last year and the experience that he gained," said Gilmore. "He understands the offense, he knows how to read defenses, he recognizes things very quickly, and he does not get rattled. He has also done a great job being a leader, and that is why he was elected as one of our captains."
Senior Brian McSharry proved to be a solid backup last year, and should return to that role this season. During the 2006 campaign, McSharry connected on 71 of 118 passes for 727 yards and six touchdowns, including three starts when Randolph was injured.
"Brian McSharry is a competitor who has performed well when he has played, and we expect him to push for playing time, always looking for opportunities to get on the field," said Gilmore. "We have a lot of confidence in his ability to produce when he is on the field."
Others who will provide depth at quarterback include junior Tommy Fleming, sophomores Mike Argillander, Taylor Glor and Joe Kosich, and freshmen Rob Koster and Ryan Taggart.
Wide Receiver
|Ryan Maher
Randolph should have a number of excellent targets to hit, as Holy Cross returns what could be the top group of receivers in the country. The Crusaders have four of the top five wide outs back from last year's team, and all of them had over 20 catches for at least 250 yards in 2006. Leading the way is senior Ryan Maher, who led the Patriot League with 69 catches for 797 yards and six touchdowns last season. Senior Thomas Harrison is also coming off a strong year in 2006, when he totaled 46 receptions for 569 yards and four scores. Both players were named All-Patriot League last year, with Maher being selected to the first team and Harrison making the second team.
"Ryan Maher and Thomas Harrison are two players who have a lot of experience under their belts," said Gilmore. "Maher has really matured and taken his game to the next level, and we expect him to improve even more with all of the hard work he put in during the off season. Harrison has great hands, adjusts to the ball well and is capable of making big plays, and we look for him to continue improving this season as well."
Two other key players who will return to the starting lineup are junior Brett McDermott and junior Jon Brock. McDermott totaled 39 catches for 518 yards and four touchdowns last season, while Brock posted 24 receptions for 257 yards and three scores. Senior Justin Maher should also see a good deal of action, after recording nine catches for 110 yards and one touchdown in 2006.
"Both Brett McDermott and Jon Brock are physically very talented players," said Gilmore. "McDermott is the fastest player on the team, and is capable of making big plays. Brock is one of the best athletes on the team, with good speed and size, and may be the most versatile guy in the group. And Justin Maher is possibly the quickest player we have on the team, so we expect him to play an expanded role this season as well."
Several other players will also look to break into the rotation at wide receiver, including junior Danny Bluth, sophomores Bill Edger, Mike Frawley and Joe Strzempka, and freshmen Luke Chmielinski, Chris Coriasso, Josh Jenkins, Freddie Santana, Nick Saraceni and Rob Turner.
Running Back
|Terrance Gass
The Crusaders look to be strong in the offensive backfield as well, with the return of juniors Mike Kielt and Terrance Gass at tailback. Kielt led the team in rushing last season with 524 yards and six touchdowns on 108 carries, in addition to catching 15 passes for 90 yards. Gass was also very effective, running for 450 yards and four scores on 107 carries, while posting 15 receptions for 137 yards and two touchdowns.
"Both Terrance Gass and Mike Kielt gained a lot of experience last season, and they are both talented backs who we think are going to have breakout years," said Gilmore. "The biggest problem we had last year was that they were both hampered by injuries. Hopefully they will both stay healthy and provide us with a great one-two punch on a consistent basis throughout the season."
Junior Kevin Golden and sophomore Matt Jackson both showed promise in limited action last year, and will look to play expanded roles for the Crusaders in 2007. Sophomore Nick Cole will also look to earn playing time, along with freshmen Jo Jo Moore, Karl Van Wygerden and Drew Volkmann.
Tight End
|Ryan McGuire
At tight end, senior Ryan McGuire will look to take over the starting duties, after missing all of last season due to injury. McGuire saw action in 10 games during the 2005 campaign, serving primarily as a blocker, and will look to become more of a receiving threat this season. Sophomore Paul Nielsen, who also sat out in 2006 due to injury, should push McGuire for the starting spot or be a key player off the bench.
"Ryan McGuire is an extremely hard worker and a very dedicated young man," said Gilmore. "As long as he can stay healthy, we expect him to have a great year for us. And Paul Nielsen is one of the fastest players on the team, so we expect him to be a factor at tight end as well."
Senior Nate Langelier and sophomore Josh Nims and will also look to contribute for Holy Cross at tight end.
Offensive Line
|Dan Nolan
Even though the Crusaders return the majority of their starters at the skill positions, three spots will need to be filled along the offensive line. Last year, the line paved the way for Holy Cross to average 384.4 yards of total offense and 25.0 points per contest. Leading the Crusaders this season will be senior right tackle Dan Nolan and junior center Chris Smith, who both started all 11 games during the 2006 campaign.
"Both Chris Smith and Dan Nolan started every game last year, and they steadily improved throughout the season," said Gilmore. "They are two guys who bring a lot of experience to the table, and will certainly be the anchors of the offensive line. We are really expecting big seasons out of both of them."
Junior Mason Olson looks to win the starting spot as the other tackle, after seeing action in all 11 games in 2006 with one start. Junior Chris Poole is the favorite to start at one of the guard positions, while junior Luke Botting and sophomores Justin Johnson and Aaron Jones will all compete for the final starting spot or play key roles as backups.
"We have a number of talented players who are ready to contribute on the offensive line, even though many of them do not have much game experience," said Gilmore. "We are confident that a number of them will emerge this season to be key parts of our offense."
Others who will provide depth along the offensive line include juniors R.J. Buchholz and David Gang, sophomores Matt Brady, Chris Fucillo, Rob Petrosino and Brandt Tierney, and freshmen Mike Bernazzani, Graham Gawryszewski, Mike McCabe and Scott Wise.
|Obi Green
The secondary looks to be a strength for the Crusaders, as three out of four starters from the 2006 season return. At one cornerback spot, fifth-year senior Casey Gough will be in his fourth season as a starter, after earning first team All-Patriot League honors in 2006. Gough totaled 54 tackles, seven pass breakups and three interceptions last fall, in addition to posting eight tackles for loss. The other cornerback spot will be manned by junior Kyle Mushaweh, who recorded 54 tackles and six pass breakups as the starter last season. Seniors Seun Bayode and Demetrick Perkins provide solid depth and experience for the Crusaders at cornerback. Bayode recorded 25 tackles and six pass breakups last year, while Perkins had eight tackles and one interception.
"Casey Gough is not only the best cover corner that we have, he is also one of the best athletes on the team," said Gilmore. "He is very aggressive and has good speed, and comes up with a number of big plays. Kyle Mushaweh is one of the fastest players on the team, and we expect him to really emerge this year, after finishing the 2006 season strong. And Seun Bayode and Demetrick Perkins are two other veteran players who have the ability to rotate in at any time."
Added depth at cornerback will be provided by junior Ty Shaw, sophomores Quentin Liggins, John Myrick and Michael Wright, and freshmen Anthony DiMichele and Kyle Smith.
At strong safety, senior Kent Flanders returns after totaling 37 tackles, an interception and three pass breakups during the 2006 season. Playing alongside Flanders at free safety will be fellow senior Obi Green, who looks to win back the starting spot he held in 2004 and 2005. Green recorded 11 tackles and three pass breakups a year ago, despite missing time due to injury. Junior Daryl Brown, who made 15 tackles in 2006, should also see a good deal of time at safety.
"Kent Flanders is a four-year starter who has really improved the athletic part of his game, so we expect him to have a big year for us," said Gilmore. "Obi Green is an outstanding leader for us on the field, and we look for him to really step up this season now that he is 100 percent healthy again. And Daryl Brown is another guy who we think of as a starter, who will see significant action in many of our packages."
Others competing for playing time at safety will be junior Mike Holloway, sophomores Dakota Allosso, Pat Haidon and Jachin Leatherman, and freshman Alex Johnson.
|Mark Kelliher
Holy Cross looks to be strong at linebacker as well, with two out of four starters returning. Senior Mark Kelliher is back at one of the outside linebacker spots, after totaling 37 tackles, three tackles for loss and two fumble recoveries in 2006. Junior Evan Byrd looks to win the other starting spot on the outside, after making seven tackles and breaking up a pass last season. Sophomore Sean Lamkin also looks to see a good deal of playing time, along with senior Dana Buglione.
"Mark Kelliher is a big, physical player who has a lot of game experience, so we are expecting him to have a really big year," said Gilmore. "Evan Byrd has great athletic ability - he is good in coverage and can also rush the passer - so he could have a real breakout season for us. And Sean Lamkin and Dana Buglione are two guys with experience on special teams, who we expect to push for significant playing time."
Others providing depth at outside linebacker include sophomores Anthony Campbell, Pat McCoy and Niko Williams, and freshman James McLaughlin.
On the inside, juniors Brian Billman and Ryan Stewart look to be the starters, after splitting starting duties at one of the spots last year. Billman totaled 40 tackles and five tackles for loss a year ago, while starting six times. Stewart added 30 tackles and three tackles for loss, while earning the starting nod in five games.
"Ryan Stewart and Brian Billman both gained a lot of experience and confidence last season," said Gilmore. "We believe that they are both going to have breakout years because they are a lot more comfortable and confident in what we are doing. They understand the defensive scheme and have grown in the mental part of their game, which will allow them to play more aggressively this season."
Several other players will look to push for playing time or provide added depth, including junior Andrew Sherwood, sophomores Andrew Cialino, Wayne Nesbit, Marcus Rodriguez and Randy Wright, and freshmen Brian Mauthe and Perry Townsend.
Defensive Line
|Adam Sadowski
The defensive line will be led by senior Adam Sadowski, who totaled 31 tackles and three tackles for loss from his defensive end spot last season. The favorite to start at the other defensive end position is junior Bryan Walwyn, who made six tackles in 2006 while splitting time between end and tackle. Junior Steve Buller and sophomore Don Matheney are expected to battle for the starting role at defensive tackle.
"Adam Sadowski has good athletic ability and has done a good job of adding size and strength, so we have a lot of confidence in him," said Gilmore. "Bryan Walwyn also has some experience, and we expect him to elevate his production and gain more consistency this year with increased playing time. On the inside, Steve Buller and Don Matheney are big, physical tackles, and we expect both of them to play key roles this season."
Also looking to play key roles as back-ups along the defensive front will be seniors Will Collins and Doug Graiser, junior Rory Glowik, sophomores Alex Carson and Nicholas MacDonald, and freshmen Matt Ferrel, Marcus Morgan, Mude Ohimor, Kevin Regan, Anthony Ruoti and Rory Sullivan.
Special Teams
|Matt Partain
Following the graduation of four-year starters Mike DeSantis and Ryan McManaway, Holy Cross will need to find a new placekicker and punter this season. Junior Matt Partain looks to be the favorite to take over the placekicking job, after handling the kickoff duties for the Crusaders each of the last two seasons. A year ago, Partain averaged 55.2 yards per kickoff with two touchbacks. He will be pushed for the starting spot by junior Kyle DiLella and freshmen Rob Dornfried and Don Lemieux.
"Matt Partain has the advantage for the placekicking and kickoff duties," said Gilmore. "He did kick off for us all of last year, and he also had an outstanding spring as our placekicker and showed that he has great range. Kyle DiLella has also improved tremendously, and Don Lemieux and Rob Dornfried were both outstanding high school kickers, so they will all be given a chance to win the placekicking job."
At punter, Dornfried and Lemieux both have high school experience and will compete to win the starting spot. Several other returning players may compete to win the punting role prior to the start of the season.
As for kick returners, the Crusaders have a pair of experienced players. Gough has averaged 25.4 yards per kickoff return over the course of his career, and could be one of the nation's top kick returners in 2007. Ryan Maher also has experience as a return man, averaging 22.0 yards on kickoff returns and 6.3 yards on punt returns last season.
"Both Casey Gough and Ryan Maher are threats to break off long returns on kickoffs and punts," said Gilmore. " They give us a great one-two punch on kickoff returns, because teams can not kick away from both of them."
|The Crusaders will play six games at Fitton Field this year.
The 2007 schedule looks to be tough, as it includes four teams which either won or shared their conference title in 2006. The Crusaders will open the season on Sept. 1 with a trip to 2006 Atlantic 10 champion Massachusetts, which advanced to last year's NCAA championship game. After an off week, Holy Cross will then play host to Harvard in its home opener on Sept. 15. The Crusaders stay at home to take on Georgetown in their Patriot League opener on Sept. 22, before facing off with 2006 Ivy League co-champion Yale on Sept. 29, as part of Family Weekend.
Holy Cross hits the road for a contest at Brown on Oct. 6, before returning to Fitton Field to face Dartmouth on Oct. 13. The Crusaders then begin a three-game road trip at 2006 Patriot League co-champion Lehigh on Oct. 20. Holy Cross next travels to Bucknell on Oct. 27, before heading to Fordham on Nov. 3. The Crusaders conclude the 2007 season with a pair of home games, against 2006 Patriot League co-champion Lafayette on Nov. 10, and Colgate on Nov. 17.
"We are playing another strong, competitive schedule this season, and we look at it as a great challenge," said Gilmore. "In addition to our traditional Patriot League rivals, we will face four of the top teams in the Ivy League, and a UMass team which made it to the national championship game last season. In order to have success, we have to take it one game at a time, and play with great consistency and maturity."

Ode to a life I do not yet have
There are times when the ache overwhelms my ability
to read, to reason, to be still.
It runs from my womb into my heart, a central
Iine that will spark and snap like a cheap box of sparklers
if you cut me open.
There are times when I wonder if it's this ache
that will carry me forward into the future,
a time filled with Sunday papers and country lanes
and cousins playing with tractors and string
in my sister's garden.
That the ache exists for a reason,
not only to plague me in the quiet times, but to
keep my faith —
to help me believe.
There are times when I believe so hard,
my own private church of one, that believes,
oh how I believe,
that all is possible if I just
want it enough.
And then there are times like today, when it all
feels so far away and I swallow down
the ache with gulps of black coffee and let myself
fall into my work — my one safe place — while hoping
I have no dreams tonight.

Winners will be in pole position for qualification, says Cambridgeshire captain Paul McMahon
Posted: May 03, 2014|
Whoever wins when Cambridgeshire and Suffolk go head to head at Clare College Sports Ground tomorrow will be in prime position to reach the quarter-finals, according to Paul McMahon.
The Cambs captain was thrilled with his team's display last Sunday as they began their Unicorns Knockout Trophy, Group Two campaign with a 95-run win at Norfolk.
And with Suffolk having also begun in winning fashion - they overcame Hertfordshire by two wickets at Ipswich - the fixture could be crucial in terms of who tops the group.
"Suffolk will be a good test and, with them having also won their opening game, you'd have to feel that whoever wins on Sunday is in pole position to qualify from the group," said McMahon.
"They're a strong side and we know a fair bit about some of their players. Tom Huggins was the outstanding player in Minor Counties cricket last year, and Justin Bishop is always dangerous with bat and ball.
"It looks like Simon Guy, who is ex-Yorkshire, and Matt Hunn, from Kent, might both be in their line-up too. Simon has obviously got quite a bit of experience of first-class cricket and Matt will challenge us with a bit of extra pace at times with the ball.
"We've done well in the last couple of one-day games we've played at Clare College and, going in with three spinners and the same seamers who did so well last week, we're confident that we'll be well equipped whatever the wicket ends up being like."
Rob Sayer's 52 helped Cambs recover from 64 for 4 to 167 all out against Norfolk at Horsford, before the hosts were blown away and dismissed for just 72.
"I was delighted with the performance against Norfolk," said McMahon. "I felt we were slightly below par with the bat, and we had an excellent innings from Rob Sayer to thank for the fact that we reached a competitive total.
"I thought he judged the situation perfectly and showed why a lot of people within the game rate him so highly.
"Joe Dawborn, Joe Barrs and Michael Cafferkey then all bowled outstandingly well. To knock over an experienced and deep batting line-up for 72 on what was a decent wicket was an exceptional effort."

Molecular Docking of Aromatase Inhibitors
Received: 5 April 2011 / Accepted: 19 April 2011 / Published: 28 April 2011

AbstractAromatase is an enzyme that plays a critical role in the development of estrogen receptor positive breast cancer. As aromatase catalyzes the aromatization of androstenedione to estrone, a naturally occurring estrogen, it is a promising drug target for therapeutic management. The undesirable effects found in aromatase inhibitors (AIs) that are in clinical use necessitate the discovery of novel AIs with higher selectivity, less toxicity and improving potency. In this study, we elucidate the binding mode of all three generations of AI drugs to the crystal structure of aromatase by means of molecular docking. It was demonstrated that the docking protocol could reliably reproduce the interaction of aromatase with its substrate with an RMSD of 1.350 Å. The docking study revealed that polar (D309, T310, S478 and M374), aromatic (F134, F221 and W224) and non-polar (A306, A307, V370, L372 and L477) residues were important for interacting with the AIs. The insights gained from the study herein have great potential for the design of novel AIs.

The Bachelor
Lesley Murphy: "I'm Not Dating Chris Bukowski!"
It's only a matter of time before The Bachelor's Lesley Murphy, gets snatched up by some lucky hunk with a six pack, but that hunk is not (we repeat, not!) The Bachelorette's Chris Bukowski. Lesley and Chris were rumored to be hooking up in the wake of Lesley's breakup with Sean Lowe on The Bachelor Season 17, but girlfriend says their lips never had the pleasure of locking.
"I've heard reports as of late that Chris Bukowski and I are dating, and I just want to go ahead and completely squash that, because that is far from the truth," Lesley tells Reality TV World.
Chris and Lesley both live in Washington D.C. and despite the fact that they've meet in person (in fact, they attended the same dating charity auction!), Lesley insists that she's single and looking for love. "I am definitely a 20-something single girl and definitely looking toward the next move and settling down with a nice southern gentleman," she says. "Yeah, I'm just loving life and that's all I can say about that! I'm definitely single and in a good spot, so I can't complain."
Hmmm, Lesley might like her men southern, but it looks like she's going to have to get used to brosefs in board shorts, because she just moved to Los Angeles! So long, Chris Buk-ow-ow-ow-ski!

Coach K talks Duke football, Belk Bowl
In today's edition of the Duke Basketball Report, Bob Harris' radio show with Mike Krzyzewski, the pair took a step back from basketball to discuss the football team, which is playing in its first bowl game in 18 years tonight.
Duke and Cincinnati will kick off at 6:30 p.m. in Charlotte for the Belk Bowl.
Get all your Duke-Cincinnati information on The Chronicle's Belk Bowl page
Here are some of the best quotes from Coach K on the Blue Devil football team, the bowl game and head coach David Cutcliffe.
On the importance of making the bowl game:
It's not just a big day for Duke football, it's a big day for Duke University. I think we're definitely on the right track.
On the coaching staff:
I think the job coach Cutcliffe and the staff have done—along with teaming up with our athletic director Kevin White and our school, our school our department and our football program—they've all made a commitment to excellence in our football program and it has shown good signs. Tonight is a very visible sign.
On the timing and location of the game:
It's the only game in town. That's a cool thing. All the bowls, there could be four of them on one night, but we're the attraction tonight.
On the importance of winning
I hope it's well attended. We're going to love that. The other thing is I'd like to see us win. Going to a bowl game is great, but winning a bowl game puts a different kind of stamp on that. I know these kids and their staff are ready to do that.
On his team watching the game:
We're not going to be there because we're practicing but we're going to get the whole team together and watch the game together and cheer together. Hopefully they can come through.
On whether this is comparable to going to the Final Four
I wouldn't say this bowl is going to a Final Four. I'd say a BCS bowl would be going to the Final Four. But this is getting into the tournament—it's a step. You have to be careful and know that this is just a step because you want bigger things. In order to get bigger things, this is a bigger thing to get that. I remember when we first got to the tournament, you're happy to be in the tournament. Then all of a sudden you're not happy being in the tournament anymore, you want more. The sooner you can want more the better.

Journalism + Design
Students can study Journalism + Design as a major (BA, Journalism + Design), a minor, or a self-designed major (BA or BS, Liberal Arts).
Journalism + Design is an interdisciplinary bachelor of arts degree combining the rigorous critical thinking of Eugene Lang College with the creative design thinking of Parsons The New School for Design. You will learn the skills needed to address the complex media ecosystem of the 21st century and develop the creative capacity to thrive in any field that values imagination, agility, and smarts.
The program focuses on
You'll learn from cutting-edge, respected professionals and scholars from the fields of both journalism and design. This program has been developed based on the belief that a free press is an essential part of a functioning democracy, and it allows you to focus on your own area of interest, whether that be food, fashion, or the environment. You'll be grounded in the fundamentals of serious journalism while being pushed to explore its boundaries.
The Journalism + Design program was created in consultation with some of the most prominent minds in news innovation as well as traditional journalism. Advisors and friends of the program come from the New York Times, The Guardian, ProPublica, The Center for Investigative Reporting, WNYC, and The Knight Foundation. This groundbreaking program is distinguished by its focus on journalistic practice supported by the design process. The flexibility of the program allows for student feedback to help shape its future direction. For more information on Journalism + Design's guest instructors and lecturers as well as blog posts about the program, visit the J+D website.
While it offers the atmosphere and intimacy of a small college, Eugene Lang College is also part of The New School, a leading progressive university in New York City. The program's collaboration with Parsons creates opportunities to study interactive design, editorial design, data visualization, photojournalism, illustration, mobile design, and media business management.
Our location in the world's media capital presents a wealth of opportunities, including real-world experience—our students have interned at professional news organizations such as the New York Times, The Guardian, CNN, Thomson/Reuters, Bloomberg News, WNYC, and ProPublica.
News organizations and media companies are eager to hire people grounded in fundamental reporting and ethics who can also creatively develop and design solutions for 21st-century journalism. Journalism + Design majors may go on to work as digital journalists or writers or pursue advanced studies in journalism, design, or media studies.

He "reached the conclusion" that he was fired.
Suggesting that people are upset because they "hate Penn State football" is just another tragic, and naive denial of what happened. Why don't you deal with the FACTS as they've been presented - Joe Paterno, Curley, Schultz, et al. covered up for/enabled a child rapist to troll around the Penn State campus for over 10 years and rape young boys. I realize the truth hurts, but the longer you deny what happened and blame everyone else (the media, the "haters," people who hate Penn State football, people who hate the Penn State cafeteria, people who hate the color blue, etc.), the longer it's gonna take for any meaningful healing to begin in the dysfunctional Penn State community. Best of luck.
Well, it's obvious you have a deep-seated need to continue to deny Joe Paterno's involvement in a horrific child rape scandal. I suspect once the shock of the scandal finally resolves and you move on to Kubler-Ross Stage 5 (acceptance) in a few years, you'll be able to handle this tragedy in a less regressive fashion.
You're right. I must be completely clueless. Why, I guess Joe Paterno didn't do anything wrong. In fact, according to you, he did so many right things he should have promoted, right? But oh yeah, wait - last time I checked he was fired, wasn't he? Not only was he fired, but his reputation was ruined... forever.
It'll take years for the university to recover from this thanks in part to "supporters" like you. If you had any loyalty to your school and "family," you'd stop doing everything to further ruin its reputation with inane posts claiming that JoePa knew nothing/did everything. But it's probably too late for that.
Paterno was the weasel. He heard about a kid getting sexually assaulted and covered it up to save his own skin. Absolutely disgusting. And if you enjoy defending people who cover up for child molesters, that says a lot about you.
Then why'd Paterno say "I should have done more."?
I hate the perpetrators (Sandusky) and the people who protected him. You, on the other hand, obviously hate the victims, since you spend ALL of your time defending the men (Paterno, Curley, Schultz) whose behavior enabled their rapes by protecting Sandusky ("I should have done more..."). Which makes you a person who defends people who cover up child molestation. Feel good about yourself?
Btw, for anyone still insisting that Paterno told the "head of campus police," Schultz is Sr. VP of Business and Finance. He was NOT and never was the "head of campus police." The head of police reports to him on an organizational chart. It's like saying Obama is the head of the FBI, so stop deluding yourselves.
Seriously? You think Joe Paterno is "very loved?" Have you tuned in to any national boards/newspapers/websites in the past month?? The guy is probably one of the most despised men in America right now.
I don't cover up for child molesters, thanks very much. The victims who Sandusky abused in the 10 years span that Paterno, Curley and Schultz knew that he was freely walking around campus and molesting kids could probably care less about how much he donates to some library.
Yet somehow Sandusky continued to freely roam around for another 10 years while Paterno, Curley and Schultz obviously knew. Please explain.
Yes, it's scary that child molesters are out there. But what's scarier about this story was that a child molester was allowed to roam freely on a college campus and continue to rape children under the auspices of the football administration and people like Paterno. The only people "burying their heads" in the sand are those that don't want to acknowledge (i.e., you) that Paterno and Co. made a concerted, pre-meditated effort to cover up Sandusky's crimes for their own benefit.
And , yes, if "hater" is a word loosely used to describe people disgusted by the fact that Paterno, et al. knew about what was going on and did little or nothing to stop in, in fact let it continue for 10 years, then count me as one. The question really is why aren't you? What allows predatory child molesters like Jerry Sandusky to continue molesting children is exactly the behavior displayed by Paterno, Curley and Shultz.
Whatever you say Jerry.
Yeah. Conan O'Brian was the other candidate.
Of course they should have been and everyone knows it. But for the JoePa supporters to admit this to themselves would mean having to accept that Paterno was pretty much a creep who covered up and minimized Sandusky's rapes to protect himself and the program at the expense of innocent children.
I'm sure Dr. Blutstein does not feel your leaving is a detriment to his practice. In fact I'm certain of it. As a physician myself, I find parents like you, undereducated and conspiratorial, take valuable time away from oarents and patients who need medical care and want to comply with it. For the sake of my other patients, I can't (and don't) waste my time with oarents like you.
So you have a daughter already diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder (which puts her at risk for other infections) and yet you refuse to get her immunized. Smart. With a parent like you, she'll be lucky to make it to 18.
So your post illuminates two important points:
1. Communities that don't vaccinate (i.e., such as the Amish) are at high risk for communicable diseases like polio, and
2. The live vaccine is no longer used.
Stop trying to blame your kids autism on a vaccine. Look, mental retardation (what autism was previously known as) has been around since as long as human have - and long, long before vaccines were ever developed or used. It's a sad fact, but it's part of being human, not part of being vaccinated.
I don't get it Amanda - you love a guy who willingly admitted to covering up the rapes of young children for years ("I should have done more"), who was told DIRECTLY about an assault and who basically did nothing but keep as quiet as possible about it (Joe Paterno), yet you have nothing but full on venom for Erickson, who at the very least was remote to the process while it was ongoing. Doesn't that strike you as a little odd?

I seem to spend a good deal of time sitting about in Waiting Rooms. I find that often the stale magazines are of no interest at all. I can't be bothered reading made up gossip about so called 'Stars'. Most of it is rubbish & even if it were true, I couldn't care less.
If I am going to be in a Doctor's waiting room, I usually go prepared, & take my current book with me.
If I am uncertain about the length of a wait, I often amuse myself
assessing & secretly 'naming' studying the other patients. I try not to overtly stare, & find I have quite a good peripheral vision.
Last Monday's visit to the 'Oven' resulted in a lengthy wait. Seated beside me was Ms Flamboyance. She had red/gold hair, & it was 'big hair', if you know what I mean. It appeared wiry, & fiery, & seemed almost like a bunch of flickering flames atop her large, cheery looking face.
She had very trendy glasses, with dark square frames with heavy side pieces. Her brilliant lime green woolly cardigan, knitted in a lumpy yarn, was teamed with a very bright purple crocheted scarf. Her bag was a huge grey snake, or possibly crocodile, skin imitation,
well, I hope it was imitation!with patent leather handles, & corner trims, & buckles & bells. Well, no I lied about the bells, but it seemed to shout along with her 'outthere' shoes, & her designer looking jeans- which were probably the quietest part about her.
As I sat admiring her, I thought she looked as if she would be a fun person to know. There would never be a dull moment if she was around, I am sure. She also suggested 'Leo ness' to me. I almost asked if she is a Leo?
The next secret study was a very small, thin quite elderly woman, whose thin little hands reminded me so much of my mother's I felt like holding them. Her brushed white hair was very neat, & her clothes were pressed & clean & quiet & neat. Her quiet little voice when she spoke to the receptionist, also reminded me of my mother. Her neat shoes, soft & clean, on slightly knobbly feet. A black pair of slacks, & a warm camel coloured coat. Her bag was black, & very quiet. She was Miss Modesty, & was the very opposite of Ms Flamboyance.
Different generations, of course, but also totally different looking personalities.
Waiting in the chemist shop this morning. A large aging couple come to the counter. The wife, says to the husband "Do you want to do this?"
He replies, "No no, you are my secretary, you can handle it."
She leans into his ear, & whispers "Don't you you mean Sexetary?"
He gives a little laugh, & says "Oh yes!"
hmmm something to think about....sneaking looks at his walking stick...
My name is called, I go to collect the medication, pay & move along with my day.
Horrors. I have been doing some (gasp) housework! I am not sure how that happened but Gom was vacuuming so I did my share of cleaning, dusting, changing linen in preparation for a dear friend who is coming to stay.
Reading Ann's blog this morning, she features an old house, & wonders what is to become of it, & she mentions that she dislikes change.
I don't mind change, but it depends on where or when. I dislike the changes my body seems determined to inflict upon me. I dislike losing abilities I once had. That type of change is not nice to face.
A reminder that we are, after all, not immortal, as our 18 year old selves once thought.
My daughter loves change in her house. It is not unusual to visit her only to find she has completely rearranged every piece of furniture, or the colours on display. I tend to like my home to 'stay put', you might say. I like to have my clutter, & quilting disorder about me. It might look messy, but I know what it is about, & where everything is.
I do like the change some people afford themselves in colour schemes of their bedrooms etc. I like the way a lot of Americans seem to decorate their homes to the Seasons. It is a European thing too, I suspect. We tend to stick to the same old same old, in this Southern hemisphere. Well, when I say that, most of our family did, & most of our friends do too. With, perhaps redecoration every so often- mostly less often!
Gom likes order, & dislikes change, but he got it into his head, he wanted to change the bed quilt. Now we have one of my favourites on there, but it is also one I liked to use in the lounge. I will just have to make another I suppose.
How do you feel about change? Of any type?

Waiting Rooms.
I seem to spend a good deal of time sitting about in Waiting Rooms. I find that often the stale magazines are of no interest at all. I can't be bothered reading made up gossip about so called 'Stars'. Most of it is rubbish & even if it were true, I couldn't care less.

Thanks for mentioning my blog.
I spend a lot of time in doctor's waiting rooms.. seems like I've spent a good part of my life in there..
In my younger days, there were several older people who would ask me to take them to the doctor. I would always wait for them.
Then when I had my own reason for going, I was on the roller coaster from office to office all over town.
Now I accompany my mom and my husband when they have to go to the doctor.
And you know what? I'm the most patient person in the waiting room. As long as it is not me that is seeing the doctor, I can wait and people watch as you do.~ann

I am not very good with change. I like things the way they are and can get very irritated when the plan suddenly changes on me. I think I need a bit more spontaneity in my life.

I like both change and stability. I guess for me the trick is keeping some things the same while others change. If it's one extreme or the other, I'd go nuts!
Your Leo woman story made me laugh. When I was 18 I was sitting in an airport waiting for a delayed flight, and a total stranger walked up to me and said, "You're a Leo!" Well, I AM a Leo, so it really startled me!! He just said that and walked away.

I can get quite stressed over change that is imposed on me. But I love to change things myself.
I also HATE surprises.

Sounds like you have "prophetic" type of gifting (as per your people watching skills). Not everyone can pick up on things and get impressions as you do. Excellent. Change? I own 6 pairs of shoes......4 of which are over 4+ years old. My newest coat is 8 years old....I'm not cheap.....but why change when things are working well? Have a great weekend.

I think the reason us in the south keep our houses much as is, relates to perhaps our largely Scottish ancestry (in my own case for sure plus I'm lazy!!); I like change but sometimes the pace of change can get frightening. I guess life is tough - getta helmet! :-)

I loved the detail in your observations of people in the waiting room. The small, quiet, neat woman really appealed to me. Maybe because she is my opposite in some ways..
I quite like change.

I don't deal well with change at all. But, I am working on that... it seems to me that I can be too unflexible at times and I fear that I will become an old fuddy-duddy if I don't become more accepting of change. I always carry my quilting magazines with me to waiting rooms as it seems the only time I have to catch up on them.

Depends on what I'm changing. Underwear, yes. Cities, no. Home furnishings, yes. Jobs, no. Unfortunately I've changed cities and jobs four times over the past four years. Coincidentally, the same amount of times I've changed underwear. Which not so coincidentally also explains the four dates I've had over the past four years.
On a more serious note, it makes me so happy that you enjoy my stories. I mean, I'm a 20 (almost 30) something gay Jewish attorney from Washington, DC, and you're a fabulous grandmother from Australia, and yet on some level there is a connection that keeps you coming back to my blog. It's almost enough to make me a humanist instead of a misanthrope! Not quite -- fortunately, otherwise I'd have nothing to write about -- but almost!

I wonder if their ears were burning as you invented their stories?! I'll be glancing over my shoulder next time I sit in my doctor's waiting room, wondering if there a Meggie around sizing me up!

Don't you just love people watching and putting stories to them? It's one of my favorite pastimes. Sometimes I will make up conversations they're having. I sometimes wonder if people are doing that with me, and I'm sure they are!

I like some change and love the right surprises, but I have found this year of travel to new places that it takes me more than a day for my composure to catch up with new surroundings and a new set of people. Then I have to readjust to being home, which I'm doing right now. But when I go out of the house, I'm very sensitive to small changes or different ways of looking at things. Keeps me on my photographic toes, it does.

Real Housewives of Atlanta
Brielle Zolciak Wants Kim's WHAT?!
As the oldest child of a Real Housewives of Atlanta star, Brielle Zolciak is often given everything her little heart desires — including fancy dresses and designer shoes — but there's one item of Kim's that the teen has her eye on that she probably won't be getting her hands on... yet.
On Feb. 6, Kim Instagrammed the below picture of her blinged out hand weighed down by her massive wedding ring, writing, "@briellebiermann thinks she is getting this someday #sheprobablywill."
We doubt that Kim will be giving B that ring anytime soon, but if and when she does get it, we hope Ariana gets the keys to the enormous house. KJ and Kash can have first dibs on the wig collection and all football memorabilia!
Do you think Kim should give Brielle her ring when she's ready? Sound off below!

Anthony Pettis Injured – Johnson And Benavidez To Main Event For UFC On FOX 9
Anthony Pettis' first title defense has been postponed.
According to a report on Fox Sports Live on Sunday night, the newly crowned UFC lightweight champion has suffered a knee injury, and will have to withdraw from his UFC on Fox 9 matchup against Josh Thompson. This is in stark contrast to what Dana White had reported Saturday night, telling Fox Sports that Pettis was "going to fight… for sure".
The flyweight title fight between champ Demetrious Johnson and Joseph Benavidez that was set to headline the TUF 18 Finale will now move to the UFC on FOX 9 show, and in turn, a lightweight fight between Nate Diaz and Gray Maynard will move into the new main event spot for the TUF 18 Finale, up from the co-main event.
It's unsure at this time whether or not Pettis' injury is linked to his championship-winning fight with ben "Smooth" Henderson, in which Anthony had tweaked his left knee while checking a kick; what IS sure, however, is that Pettis has had some fairly bad luck when it comes to injuries sustained during his time with the UFC. Shoulder separations, staph infections and injuries to both knees have plagued "Showtime" over the last few years, but hopefully for Anthony (and the fans), this won't keep him on the shelf for too long.
4 Responses to "Anthony Pettis Injured – Johnson And Benavidez To Main Event For UFC On FOX 9"
Man this sucks, I was hoping to see Pettis beat some ass for free on FOX, now it's definitely going to be on PPV for sure and cost $. =(
Anthony Pettis scheduled for a title fight in a month….and he's injured.
He should change his name to Anthony the injury Pettis… I know you Pettis nut huggers are gonna say " oh people get injured in training all the time" he is the Lil Nog of the lightweight division
+1 I was just about to say that – this kid is always on the shelf it seems.
Anthony Pettis has now patented this new move called the pull out. No, I jest. I was hoping the Thomson fight would be a big upset, but now who knows who's next for that belt. Whoever it is, should be a good fight.
Maybe TJ and Thompson should now fight instead to solidify that #1 spot since TJ had earned it, just got screwed do to circumstances. Any thoughts people?
Yep, sounds fair. Though depending on how long Pettis is out, anything could happen. Gil could get a big win and jump to the top, Aldo could move to LW, Khabib Nurmagomedov could get another dominate win and jump to the top. The 155 division is packed and title seem to get passed around often. It's like they're making up for all the time Frankie and Gray Maynard took.

Siti Aishah Abu Bakar
Now my doubts are clear
The thing i fear have arrived
Though my sadness is contented in a silent tear
I just wonder how i might survive
Now that my heart feels pain
And mixed emotions i tried to contain
The solution to this seems so faint
What should i do when i meet split lanes?
I am afraid to make any decisions
Nor would i want to believe my perception
Am i going to face any deception?
That is my heart frequent question
I, suddenly feel so small
Hiding myself under my veil
I ignore my heart frequent calls
I get love to no avail
I want to give him a chance
But it seems that it will lead to deception
He won't realize it until everything is done
He won't realize that this girl is one in a million
Let it be what it has to be
Though i know my heart needs to be free
I am hurt by the future i am supposed to see
I regretted ignoring my heart recent pleas....

so what your saying updating the ios on 4.2, when using a actual game that needs 4.3 to run, won't ask to update via disk update? so basically, i do not have to upgrade to 4.3 then, has anyone tested this, I asked the guy to try skyward sword (disk) and run normally though wii, without using usb loader
If you have block updates properly installed AND the requisite IOS installed, the game will run w/o requiring an update. More about IOS and CIOS in the newbies thread in my signature.

An Introduction To Wii Hacking - MUST READ for all new Wii Hackers
If I have been of help to you, please click the "Thanks" icon to the left.
I tried downloading 4.1U and it never downloaded completely. Using firefox, it would stop around 20%. Please help. Trading in all my wii stuff to gamestop to get a ps3
never mind! Firefox is stupid sometimes when downloading. Used Chrome instead
Picked up a used wii and think it may be hacked, how can I tell?
Reason thinking maybe hacked is when trying to load Zelda Skyward Sword is on the disk channel it say "wii system update" and when I try to update it fails. When I try a update through wii settings I get error 32004 and nintendo.com states 32004 may be due to a mod (connection tests okay and have changed router to ch 11). Also the FW shows as ver. 4.2U.
On the main menu page there is no indication of Homebrew, just "disk channel", "Mii", " Photo Channel", "Shopping Channel", "Forecast" and "News".
If Wii is modified I'll be willing to leave it but how would I run new games like Skyward Sword or access the Shopping Channel so I can get the internet?
If I was to unmodified, instructions page one still the best way?
