Live Communications Server 2005 Glossary
Access Proxy
A Live Communications Server 2005, Access Proxy resides in the perimeter network, where it acts as a gateway between internal users and trusted remote users. The Access Proxy has two network addresses: a private address for the internal network and a public address for the external network. All external traffic passes through the Access Proxy before entering the internal network. Trusted external users include employees who are outside the internal network or located in branch offices, as well as users employed by federated partners. The Access Proxy authenticates remote servers, parses messages for validity checking, throttles connections, and blocks domains as configured by the administrator. See Federation, Private network address, Public network address, and Remote user.
Active Directory
The directory service included with Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003. Live Communications Server uses Active Directory to store user and server information, including the server on which each user resides.
Allow and block list
A list of users who are allowed to, and blocked from, seeing presence information for other users of Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005. By default, all users can see presence information for all other users in a forest. Users can edit their own allow and block list to limit publication of their presence information, and administrators can edit allow and block lists to control the publication of presence information across an organization.
Application Manifest
An XML document defining a Microsoft SIP Processing Language (MSPL) application or a SIP application to Live Communications Server. An MSPL script is contained in a CDATA section within the Application Manifest itself. In a SIP application, the Application Manifest is incorporated in the compiled executable. See Microsoft SIP Processing Language and SIP Application.
Application Proxy
A Live Communications Server 2005, Proxy that hosts applications. The Application Proxy receives messages originating from within the organization's network, passes them to one or a succession of two or more of its hosted applications, which in turn filter or process the messages before passing them on. See Forwarding Proxy and Proxy.
Archiving agent
The component on each Live Communications Server that archives instant messages and dispatches them to the Archiving back end. Although the Archiving agent is installed on all servers, it must be explicitly enabled before archiving can commence. See Archiving back end and Archiving service.
Archiving back end
The logical entity that receives and stores instant messages sent by archiving agents from Live Communications Servers. The Archiving back end consists of the Archiving back-end queue and the Archiving back-end database. See Archiving back-end database and Archiving back-end queue.
Archiving back-end database
An SQL database for storing archived messages. Note: This database should not be confused with the Live Communications Server 2005, Back-End Database, which stores user information. See Back-End Database.
Archiving back-end queue
A MSMQ (Microsoft Message Queuing) infrastructure that receives messages from the Archiving Agent. The Archiving service reads messages from the queue and writes them to the Archiving back-end database. The queue and Archiving service can be located either on the same server as the Archiving back-end database or on a different server.
Archiving service
Live Communications Server 2005, Archiving service. Archives instant messages for organizations in need of compliance with government or corporate regulations or conducting usage analysis. Administrators can configure archiving to include all users, no users, or only certain users. The Archiving agent is installed by default on all Live Communications Server 2005 servers, but it must be enabled for archiving to occur. To archive a pool, archiving must be enabled for all servers in the pool.
Back-End Database
The Live Communications Server 2005, Back-End Database. A SQL Server 2000 database containing user information for an Enterprise pool. The Back-End Database is hosted on a separate server and shared by all servers in the pool. Note: This database should not be confused with the Archiving back-end database, which stores archived instant messages.
Clearing house
An organization that federates directly with multiple partners and serves to redirect traffic among them. In the typical default route configuration, the clearing house routes messages for all domains that are not explicitly configured by their administrators. The clearing house is trusted for all messages it sends to each domain. This configuration allows an organization to federate with a large number of partners without incurring the overhead of maintaining those connections. See Direct federation, Gated community, and Open clearing house.
An application that initiates real-time communications and presents presence information on behalf of Live Communications Server users. See SIP client and Windows Messenger.
Default route
When configured, the default route is used by an Access Proxy to route traffic to external domains for which direct federation or a gated community has not been defined.
Direct federation
A form of federation in which two organizations explicitly designate each other as trusted federated partners for purposes of exchanging instant messages and sharing presence information. Also known as direct peering or explicit peering. An organization can specify up to 300 federated partners for each Access Proxy deployed in its perimeter network.
Direct federation list
See Federated partner list and Federation.
Direct peering
See Direct federation.
A Live Communications Server with no users hosted on it. The Director authenticates users and directs traffic to the appropriate server pool. It authenticates remote connections passed to it by the Access Proxy and eliminates the overhead of one pool having to forward traffic intended for another pool. In a typical deployment, the Director is the Access Proxy's internal next hop. Internal clients may also connect to the Director.
Domain Name System (DNS)
A hierarchical naming system used for mapping user-readable computer names to computer-readable IP addresses.
Enterprise Edition
Live Communications Server 2005 Enterprise Edition. Enterprise Edition server consists of a pool of servers connected to a separate, shared SQL Server Back-End Database for storing user information. The servers in the pool function collectively as a single home server.
Enterprise pool
See Enterprise Edition.
Explicit peering
See Direct federation.
Federated partner
An external organization with which you have established a direct federated connection. See Access Proxy and Federation.
Federated partner list
A list of federated domains that are authorized to connect to an organization through a particular Access Proxy. Each Access Proxy has its own list of federated partners; each federated partner can connect only through those Access Proxies where it is listed.
The ability to connect one Live Communications Server deployment to other Live Communication Server deployments in other organizations. Each federated partner deploys an Access Proxy, through which all SIP traffic crossing the network boundary is routed. The two most common types of federation are direct federation and clearing house. See Access Proxy, Direct federation, and Clearing house.
Flat-file logging
A feature of Live Communications Server 2005 whereby logged events can be written to and retrieved from a readable text file. See Logging.
Forwarding Proxy
A Live Communications Server 2005, Proxy that simply receives and forwards messages originating from within the internal network. A Forwarding Proxy is typically (but not exclusively) deployed in organizations or branch offices where no Enterprise pool is installed. The Forwarding Proxy forwards all outbound messages to an Access Proxy in the organization's perimeter network, which in turn passes them to internal Live Communications Servers. See Application Proxy and Proxy.
Front-end server
In Live Communications Server 2005 Enterprise Edition, a server that is deployed within the internal network but outside the Enterprise pool. Front-end servers include Access Proxy, Application Proxy, Forwarding Proxy, Director, and SIP/PSTN gateway. See Access Proxy, Application Proxy, Director, Forwarding Proxy, Front-End Server, and SIP/PSTN gateway.
Front-End Server
In Live Communications Server 2003 Standard Edition, a server that redirects incoming SIP requests to the appropriate home server. In Live Communications Server 2005, this role has largely been assumed by the Director. See Director, Front-end server, and Home server.
Gated community
A closed community of federated organizations served by a single clearing house. The clearing house determines membership in the gated community. Individual members can choose to use the clearing house for all other members or can choose to federate directly with certain members but not others. Each member can also directly federate with other organizations outside the gated community. Federation with a member of the gated community, however, does not enable access to other members of the community. See Clearing house, Direct federation, and Open clearing house.
Home server
A Live Communications Server on which a user is registered. Such a user is said to be hosted on that server. In addition to registering users, a home server routes SIP messages and maintains user data, such as contact lists, allow and block lists, and endpoints. A Standard Edition server functions as a stand-alone home server. It is functionally equivalent to a Live Communications Server 2003 Standard Edition home server. An Enterprise pool consists of multiple servers that function collectively as a single home server. See Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition.
Instant Messaging (IM)
The ability of users to send and receive messages in real time. Windows Messenger is the recommended IM client for Live Communications Server 2005.
Kerberos protocol
An authentication mechanism used by Live Communications Server to authenticate internal clients. The Kerberos protocol is not offered to external clients because they do not have access to internal domain controllers. See NTLM.
Listening address
A number that enables IP packets to be sent to a particular process on a computer connected to the Internet. The default listening address for Live Communications Server is 5061.
Listening port
See Listening address.
Load balancer
Third-party hardware that balances IM traffic and, if necessary, routes it away from failed nodes. A Director passes incoming messages to the load balancer of the appropriate pool, which distributes them among servers in the pool. Load balancers can also be deployed with Access Proxies or other servers.
In Live Communications Server, logging is the recording of information about SIP traffic flowing through each server, events connected with server operations, and metadata related to the logging operation itself for the purpose of providing an audit trail, troubleshooting data, and information about system usage. This is distinct from the content archiving performed by the Live Communications Server 2005, Archiving service. See Archiving service and Flat-file logging.
Microsoft SIP Processing Language (MSPL)
A scripting language for writing simple message filtering and routing applications. MSPL scripts run in the same process as Live Communications Server. See SIP Application.
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000)
A desktop database engine based on Microsoft SQL Server 2000. Live Communications Server 2003 and Live Communications Server 2005 Standard Edition use MSDE 2000 to store user data, such as contact lists, allow and block lists, and endpoints.
Multiple points of presence (MPOP)
A feature whereby Live Communications Server 2005 can keep track of single user activity on multiple SIP clients? a desktop computer, telephone, and cellular phone, for example. See Presence.
Mutual TLS
See TLS.
Next hop
From any given server in a network topology, the next server in line to which a message is routed.
An authentication mechanism used by Live Communications Server to authenticate remote users who do not have access to internal Kerberos domain controllers. See Kerberos protocol.
Open clearing house
Term used to distinguish a clearing house that is not a gated community. See Clearing house and Gated community.
Outside user
See Remote user.
A collection of Enterprise Edition servers connected to a shared Back-End Database and functioning as a single home server. See Enterprise Edition and Enterprise pool.
Port number
See Listening address.
Prep domain

Information that describes whether a particular user is available to communicate in real time. For example, users who sign in to Windows Messenger can specify that they are "Online," "Busy," or "On The Phone." See Multiple points of presence.
Private network address
An Access Proxy's internal network address. Outbound traffic originating from within the internal network is routed to this address. See Access Proxy and Public network address.
1. A Live Communications Server 2005, Proxy. A proxy can be configured as a Forwarding Proxy or an Application Proxy. A Forwarding Proxy simply receives and forwards messages originating from within the internal network. An Application Proxy hosts applications that filter or otherwise process messages before passing them along. A Proxy is deployed inside the network boundary but outside of any pools. It does not home users and is not connected to the user database. See Application Proxy and Forwarding Proxy.
2. In Live Communications Server architecture, the server component or module that receives and forwards SIP requests.
Public network address
An Access Proxy's external network address. Inbound traffic originating from outside the internal network is routed to this address. See Access Proxy and Private network address.
The process by which a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) client notifies Live Communications Server that a user has signed in and that the client is running on a particular device (such as a computer) at a particular network address (typically an IP address). See Client and Home server.
Remote user
An authorized user connecting from outside the private network. Also called an outside user.
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
A signaling protocol used by Live Communications Server and clients to initiate, manage, and terminate real-time communications and multimedia sessions over an IP network. See SIP for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions.
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) URI
The name by which Live Communications Server identifies a user account. SIP URIs typically take the form: sip:UserName@ DomainName. UserName is typically the name of the user account in Active Directory, and DomainName is typcially the name of the Active Directory domain of that user. See Phone URI.
See SIP for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE).
See Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).
SIP Application
A managed code application that runs in a separate process from Live Communications Server. It consists of an application manifest and at least one Server Agent object, which is the point of communication between the application and Live Communications Server. SIP applications use classes defined in the Microsoft.Rtc.Sip namespace and register with Live Communications Server through the MSFT_SIPApplicationsSetting class defined in the Live Communications Server Windows Management Instrumentation schema. See Application Manifest, Microsoft Sip Processing Language (MSPL), and WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) classes.
SIP client
An RTC (real-time communications) client, such as Windows Messenger, that uses SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) to establish and maintain RTC sessions with a SIP server. See Client, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), and SIP server.
SIP Domain
A domain enabled for SIP messaging; for example, a Live Communications Server domain.
SIP for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE)
An extension to the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) that supports sharing instant messages and presence information in an IP network.
SIP Processing Language (SPL)
See Microsoft SIP Processing Language.
SIP protocol stack
The Live Communications Server component responsible for initiating, maintaining, and terminating SIP sessions.
SIP server
A server, such as Live Communications Server 2005, that uses SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) to manage real-time communication among SIP clients, such as Windows Messenger. See Client, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), and SIP client.
SIP/PSTN gateway
A protocol conversion application situated at the boundary between the PSTN (public switched telephone network) and an IP network enabled for SIP (Session Initiation Protocol). The gateway converts SIP signaling protocols to PSTN equivalents, and vice-versa, thereby enabling call conversion between the two networks. See Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).
Standard Edition
Live Communications Server 2005 Standard Edition. Standard Edition server consists of a single home server and includes a local MSDE 2000 (Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine) database for storing user information. The functional equivalent of a Live Communications 2003 Standard Edition home server.
Static Route
An IP address designating, typically, a SIP/PSTN gateway or voice mail server. A list of such addresses is maintained in a static routing table. If an entry is found in the static routing table that matches the Request-URI in the message, then the request is marked as authorized for routing, and routing is complete. If the IP address does not match an entry in the static routing table, then the request is failed at this point. See SIP/PSTN gateway.
A SIP client that requests presence information about a SIP user.
The process whereby a SIP (that is, Live Communications Server) client, acting on behalf of a SIP user, requests presence information about another SIP user. See Client and Presence.
Restrict the number of permitted connections and the permitted transaction rate to a server or pool. Trusted servers are permitted a larger number of connections and a higher transaction rate than clients.
Transport Layer Security protocol. An industry standard designed to protect the privacy of information communicated over the internet. In TLS, a server proves its identity to a client by sending it a certificate obtained from a trusted certificate authority. In MTLS (Mutual TLS), the client also presents a certificate to the server. Live Communications Server users MTLS to help established trusted connections between servers.
Undo preparation of a domain, forest, or Active Directory schema. See Prep domain, Prep forest, and Prep schema.
Uniform Resource Identifier. See Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) URI.
Windows Messenger
The recommended SIP client for Live Communications Server 2005.
WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) classes
The Microsoft extension to the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) initiative. WMI classes for Live Communications Server 2005 enable administrators to programmatically configure and manage their deployments. Most WMI class properties correspond to settings that also can be manually configured using the Live Communications Server 2005 user interface.

Strickland, who says that he is "pro hockey" rather than "pro owner" or "pro player" doesn't like how the NHLPA structures their meetings or conference calls.
He writes that the way the meeting is structured, the early part of it is spent galvanizing the players by telling them how badly they are being screwed and how it will only get worse for them and future NHLers.
That kind of tone, he writes, doesn't entirely make it easy for players to express concerns of ask questions, "It truly doesn't allow for players with an opposing view to speak up. Seriously, who is going to lash out with over 100 other players on the same call? It's an intimidating setting when you have little support backing you."
Strickland says that a bigger presence of veteran players who went through the 2004 lockout, Martin Brodeur and Jarome Iginla, would go along way in bringing more credibility to the players side.

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 9 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Charlevoix Neck Wallet I purchased this because it is RFID Blocking.... I find a neck wallet easiest to use when going through customs. It has all the essentials, on my body, without fumbling thru a purse. July 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by cevio Worked well This product held passport, driver's license, and folded cash very well. I was unable to fit my credit card into either of the small pockets, so carried it loose in the passport section. RFID-blocking feature was great. Cord was visible around my neck with summer tops, but collared shirts successfully hid the cord. The wallet added warmth on hot days. (May try a money belt in future to see if it's cooler to wear, but the neck wallet worked well for security.) July 15, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Bill4 Poorly described product The product is not as described and pictured. It is not as long or wide as described in the catalog and as a result the bottom zippered compartments are too small to be useful. I am in the process of a return. September 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by atilano the lower section is too small for credit cards-so I took out the stitching dividing the lower section in 2 parts and now it works fine August 28, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by traingeek2 BEWARE! YOU COULD LOSE YOUR PASSPORT This product fell apart within days of purchase. Strap frayed, came apart. Almost lost passport!!! Design fatally flawed. Do not buy this one! I do like and buy travelsmith products, but this should be pulled and redesigned. It needs both much more sewing and better strap quality to prevent fraying. My 89 year old mother wore this, under her clothes, for one week, and I know she didn't mistreat it. Shockingly bad! Sorry, but passport security is # 1 with me. I do LOVE other stuff I have bought on this site. Travelsmith: read this and get this product fixed, Pocket design needs change also. November 5, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Pinner Not quite what I expected. This product was larger than expected. The back area is open, it will not zip shut making it vulnerable to losing things. The two front pockets are extremely tiny and not really practical though I did figure out they are the correct size for a passport photo. September 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by golfkat Good purchase, need to use it in "real" time I tested it at home and it works as expected. I need to see how it will do on a one month trip where I need to keep passport and $$ secure. April 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by traintraveler close to my heart I used to have one of these but it disappeared over the years. Went to TravelSmith, and of course they had just what I wanted and for a decent price. September 5, 2014

Would it be awesome if there was an Armoury sub-forum or something called Shittery where if I think someone's thread is crap (I've been seeing a lot of Halo threads lately) I can move them in there?
Or would that encourage a divisive forum atmosphere rife with elitism?
Would a divisive forum atmosphere even be a bad thing?
This place is pretty fucked up already, but I think it's okay as long as there's no e-hazing.

By STAVROS HIMONASSun Advocate reporter
The United States Bureau of Land Management published new public grazing regulations on July 12.
The regulations, collectively known as a final rule, will take effect 30 days after publication in the Federal Register.
The BLM indicated that the guidelines are intended to improve the federal agency's working relationship with grazing permits and lease holders, conserve rangeland resources and enhance administrative efficiency.
"These new regulations are aimed at promoting more effective and efficient management of public lands grazing, which is a vital part of the history, economy, and social identity of Western rural communities," pointed out BLM director Kathleen Clarke.
In developing the regulations, the BLM solicited input from stakeholders and the general public.
The BLM received more than 18,000 comments on the agency's proposed grazing rule and the draft environmental impact statement during a public input period which expired in March 2004.
The BLM published the final EIS on June 17, 2005 after which the agency prepared an addendum to respond to comments coming in after the public input deadlines, explained the director.
To improve working relationships with grazing permit and lease holders, the rule authorizes the BLM and a permittee or lessee to share title to future range improvements and permanent structures such as fences, wells or pipelines if they are constructed under the cooperative range improvement agreement.
The shared title provision reflects the view that ranchers, when contributing financially to the construction of improvements, should be able to share ownership in proportion to their investment of labor, materials or equipment, indicated Clarke.
In addition, shared title may help ranchers qualify for loans for operations and may serve as an incentive for range improvements.
The rule also phases in grazing use decreases as well as increases of more than 10 percent over a five-year period consistent with existing law and in recognition of the BLM's authority to respond as necessary to drought, fire and resource conditions.
Furthermore, a consistent approach by BLM managers in considering and documenting the social, cultural and economic effect of decisions that determine levels of authorized grazing use has been stipulated, noted the agency's director.
The result will grant ranchers sufficient time to make gradual adjustments in their operations so they can reduce adverse economic impacts resulting from grazing reductions and ensure that BLM managers consistently consider and document the factors they took into account in assessing the potential impact grazing levels have upon the human environment.
To conserve rangeland resources, a restriction has been removed that has limited temporary non-use of grazing permit to three consecutive years.
The new rule instead allows ranchers to apply for non-use each year, whether for conservation or business purposes, with no limit on the number of consecutive years.
The BLM is also required the use of existing or new monitoring data where the agency has found, based on an initial assessment, that a grazing allotment is failing to meet rangeland health standards, continued Clarke
The guideline will allow up to 24 months, instead of prior to the start of the next grazing season, for the BLM to analyze and formulate an appropriate course of action in cases where practices are an issue.
By using monitoring data, which shows land-condition trends in detail, the BLM will better be able to determine the reasons for an allotment's failure to meet such standards and to what extent, if any, grazing practices are at issue, added the federal agency's director.
The reasoning behind the 24-month time frame is that existing regulations have required implementation of an appropriate course of action before the start of the next grazing season. The specified deadline for taking appropriate action is often an unrealistic time frame in light of certain legal requirements, such as an environmental analysis under the 1969 National Environmental Policy Act.
Administrative efficiency is to be enhanced by eliminating, in compliance with federal court rulings, a 1995 Rangeland Reform regulatory provision allowing the BLM to issue long-term conservation use permits.
The final rule also expands the definition of grazing preference to include an amount of forage on public lands that is linked to a rancher's private base property which can be land or water which makes clear that grazing preference has a quantitative as well as a qualitative meaning.
The interested public is also given a new definition of only those individuals and organizations that actually participate in the process of leading to specific grazing decisions.
Under the provision, the BLM could involve the interested public in day-to-day grazing administration matters, but would no longer required to do so.
Flexibility is provided to the federal government in decisions relating to livestock water rights by removing a requirement that the BLM seek ownership of the rights to the maximum extend allowed by state law
The flexibility provision will help in negotiating arrangements for construction of watering facilities in states where the federal government is allowed to hold a livestock water right, explained the BLM director.
Certain service fees such as livestock crossing permits, transfer of grazing preferences, and cancellation and replacement of grazing fee bills will be increased to reflect more accurately the cost of grazing administration.
If a livestock operator is convicted of violating a federal, state or other law while the subject is engaged in grazing related activities, the BLM may take action against the permit or lease only if the failure to comply occurred on the agency's managed allotment where the operator is authorized to graze, pointed out Clarke.
The BLM will authorize grazing if implementation of a bureau decision affecting a grazing permit is temporarily stopped pending an administrative appeal.
However, the final rule clarifies that a biological assessment prepared by the BLM in compliance with the Endangered Species Act is not a decision of the bureau and, therefore, is not subject to protest and appeal, indicated Clarke
The final set of regulations retains key elements of the rangeland reform initiative and does not change the way the federal grazing fee is calculated, stated the BLM director.
The rangeland reform initiative was established by the U.S. Congress in 1978 and continues under a 1986 presidential executive order.

Another split for SDSU tennis
The South Dakota State men's team outlasted St. Joseph's (Pa.) 4-3, but the women's team was grounded 6-1.
On the men's side, SDSU played multiple three-set matches and extra games, but won the majority and outlasted St. Joseph's (Pa.) 4-3.
In doubles, the Jacks secured the team point in comeback fashion with wins at No. 1 and No. 2.
Andrea Boglić and Parker Lawley played back-and-forth with Jeff Kessler and Dan Barrus, but earned a one-break advantage and made it hold up in an 8-5 win. James Thorp and Mateus Moreia needed an extra game to secure the 9-7 win versus Max Montague and Jose Sierra.
The wins followed the Hawks' win at No. 3 and shifted the momentum.
In singles, the two teams split matches, but it was enough for the SDSU win.
Boglić started the Jacks' scoring with a straight-set win at the top spot. He played Tommy Gates, who did not compete in doubles, and defeated him 6-4, 6-2.
St. Joseph's evened the meet score with straight-set wins at No. 3 and No. 6, but SDSU won two out of the three matches remaining for the win.
Henrique Pereira split the first two sets at No. 4 with Montague 6-2, 4-6. In the third set, H. Pereira did not leave any doubt with a 6-1 win. James Thorp played Kessler at No. 5 and dropped the first set 3-6. But in the second and third sets, Thorp took a page from H. Pereira's playbook and stifled his opponent 6-1, 6-1.
The two wins secured the meet for SDSU.
"Today was a big day for the men's team," head coach Michael Engdahl said. "We were down 3-6 at No. 2 doubles and we were able to battle back, win the match and score the team point. In singles, we avoided a letdown after doubles and played a complete meet. It was the type of match where we hopefully gained belief in our ability as a team."
The men improved to 4-8 with the win. SDSU closes out the spring trip tomorrow morning versus Montana State-Billings at 8 a.m.
Singles competition
1. Andrea Boglić def. Tommy Gates (SJU), 6-4, 6-2
2. Jose Sierra (SJU) def. Mateus Moreira, 6-4, 1-6, 6-4
3. Pierre Brondeau (SJU) def. Parker Lawley, 6-0, 6-1
4. Henrique Pereira def. Max Montague (SJU), 6-2, 4-6, 6-1
5. James Thorp def. Jeff Kessler (SJU), 3-6, 6-1, 6-1

2. Thorp/Moreira def. Montague/Sierra (SJU), 9-7
3. Alex Veronis/Brondeau (SJU) def. Luke Elifson/H. Pereira, 8-2
On the women's side, the Jacks and Hawks played tiebreakers in three separate matches, but the Hawks won all three and flew away 6-1.
In doubles, St. Joseph's scored the team point in the same way as the SDSU men, with wins at the top two spots.
Beatriz Souza and Florencia Magni won by the largest margin of any doubles team, defeating Devin Jadeja and Kelly Mulquin 8-2. But it was not enough, as the Hawks entered singles with the lead.
In singles, St. Joseph's won five of the six matches, four in straight sets, to secure the meet.
Jenny Blackburne was SDSU's bright spot, scoring a straight-set, 6-4, 6-3 win versus Kristina Eisenbrand at No. 3. Tacy Haws-Lay played Kelly Mulquin to a third-set super tiebreaker with a 6-4 second-set win, but was edged 10-6 in the decisive tiebreaker.
Ffion Davies and Tiffany Filipovich played first-set tiebreakers at No. 2 and No. 6, respectively, but both were won by the Hawks.
"The girls played tough, but we were a bit tired mentally," said Engdahl. "It was another long day in the sun and our mental edge was lacking. However, St. Joseph's is a solid program and grinded out the win. We needed to be at our best at every position and it was just not our day. The focus and energy were there, but we need a good rest tonight and to be refreshed for Florida A&M tomorrow morning."
The women drop to 7-7 with the loss. SDSU closes out the spring trip tomorrow morning versus Florida A&M at 11:30 a.m.

On April 4, 1917, the United States Congress declared war against Germany and Austria-Hungary. The action made a conflict that had been relatively European in nature, the first global war in history. The declaration of war resulted despite the best efforts of President Woodrow Wilson and his advisers to avoid joining the conflict.
It was also the first time in American history that citizens began to worry about sabotage on U.S. soil from a truly foreign power since the war of Independence had been fought in the late 1700s.
The Spanish-American War at the turn of the 20th century and the incursion by Pancho Villa into New Mexico in 1916 where he burned the town of Columbus and killed 19 people, had brought mayhem on one front in terms of homeland violence. But actual sabotage or terrorism, had either not been substantial enough to enact any kind of national program or was just not thought of.
With the coming of World War I, the situation changed. The government and the people in the country knew they were fighting a foe which had allies within the United States, largely because of the numbers of immigrants from the adversarial Central Powers, as the countries of Germany and its supporters were known.
Not long after war was declared, everything that went wrong in the country was suspected of being an act of sabotage. At that time, no one was worried about germ warfare or atomic bombs which had not been invented, but acts of violence using bombs and possibly chemical attacks seemed a possibility.
One of the first suspected acts of Sabotage took place in eastern Utah.
In late June 1917, the Mammoth Dam located above Scofield suddenly failed, breaking almost completely apart in a few hours and sending torrents of water toward Carbon County communities. Most of the towns along the Price River suffered substantial damage due to the failure and at least two mining operations were put out of business for awhile. The flood also affected the rail lines in the canyon for a time.
Immediately after Mammoth broke, officials of the Price River Irrigation Company concluded that the dam had not failed on its own. They asked for an investigation into the collapse by government officials, claiming that the dam had been inspected the morning of the failure and everything was sound. It also occurred when the water was receding in the reservoir rather than increasing in volume.
"When regarded from the standpoint of powder or dynamite, the (first) reports of the blowing out of the dam seemed somewhat weird," said J.A. Hooper, the assistant secretary of the company at the time as was reported by The Sun newspaper in Price. "However, tuluol (a highly explosive petroleum product developed during this time) and another explosive which a spy might use would render the thought quite sensible. There would have been a possibility of inserting a small bit of exceptionally high explosive down the core wall, causing the break."
The president of the company, George Austin, called the Mammoth failure a "most mysterious occurrence." The community was up in arms not only due to the damage, but because of the possibility of spies in the midst of local society.
Within a few days, it was ascertained that the dam had a fatal flaw which caused the collapse. However, some residents in the area disputed the determination for years and continued to claim German agents caused the collapse.
If the situation sounds familiar, it should. Wartime causes hysteria and rumors to run rampant. Armed conflict breeds supposition and tends to make people distrust the individuals they have lived along side for years.
World War II was no better. In fact, saboteurs did create some damage in several laces, but most of it was minor, considering the scale of the war.
During the communist scare of the 1950s and beyond, the common U.S. citizen worried little about spies in the midst of the American public. But people were often shocked when the spies were found in high places, not destroying the equipment of defense as much as stealing America's war technologies.
After Sept. 11, 2001, the citizens of the country, however, are now engaged in a new war. The violent conflict may have started overseas, in a fashion, but the war is more threatening to the home land of the United States than any in the past.
The war against terrorism has the faces of the enemy painted on it, but those faces are constantly changing and not in any one place at any one time. They are, in a sense, fighting a guerilla war against Americans, within the boundaries of the United States.
The spectre of the twin towers burning and collapsing are burnt into the American psyche, but the reality of continued attacks, more likely smaller and wide spread across the land are what people fear the most.
The blowing up the Golden Gate Bridge for instance, while powerfully psychological in effect, would no where near compare in actual damage or fear with the bombing of a thousand restaurants over the period of a year in cities and towns across the land.
At the present time, the majority of the state and local planning models view terrorism as only a remote possibility in rural areas or individual, lower profile communities.
But the shootings at LAX International Airport on July 4, while not yet officially named a terrorist act, shows the kinds of things that could happen almost anywhere.
Local terrorism models have been created by a number of state agencies across the nation since the Sept. 11 attacks. The plans are part of the solution to preventing terrorist acts or for reacting to the incidents after the violent situations have occurred.
The nature of terrorism in the past is that the perpetrators look for visible targets where they can avoid detection before or after an attack. This has meant they have usually taken place in large cities at international events or places where many people gather.
But as has been proven in many countries, particularly in Israel, bombs on buses do not go unnoticed by the members of the community.
Terrorism may include actions that will not directly cause the death of anyone. The Sept. 11 attacks created not only fear by death and destruction, but also took a good-sized chunk out of the U.S. economy by the nature of the incidents.
Of grave concern to United States officials at present is the possibility of attacks designed to disrupt public services such as power, water supplies, public transportation and communications.
One of the main goals of terrorist is to convince citizens that their government, federal, state and local, cannot protect them from direct harm.
That is why homeland defense, in this war, will be very different from the past. It will require of citizens vigilance that was apparent during World War II when the media portrayed skulking characters with thick foreign accents in black hats blowing up oil refineries. At that time it was called the Homefront.
"One front and one battle where everyone in the United States, every man, woman and child is in action," said President Franklin Roosevelt during some of the darkest days of the war in April of 1942. "That front is right here at home, in our daily lives."
So the most important cog in countering terrorism is the viewpoint uttered by President Roosevelt 60 years ago. An informed and vigilant citizenry, of all ages, backgrounds and persuasions watching for the signs and planning for the worst.

A manager at the Christmas Tree Shops store in Syracuse said Tuesday that the retail chain plans to set up shop in the Salmon Run Mall in the spring, moving into the 11,000-square-foot space now occupied by Glowgolf.
Mall employees said while rumors about the plan are circulating, they are unaware of the stores plans.
A Glowgolf employee said Christmas Tree representatives have made several visits this winter to express interest in the location. But he said a formal agreement has not yet been made by Christmas Tree Shops with Glowgolf to move in.
Glowgolf, which features a 36-hole indoor golf course, signed a one-year lease when it was launched last May.
Christmas Tree Shops announced this winter that it would open a location here in March and has been recruiting employees on its website; sources at the mall said that timetable will likely be pushed back to April.
Owned by Bed Bath & Beyond, the retail chain offers discounted prices on holiday home decor, gifts, housewares, food, paper goods and seasonal products year-round.
A call Tuesday to Michelle Watkins, the companys marketing director, was not returned.
The Glowgolf employee working Tuesday afternoon, who declined to be named, said its now common knowledge among mall employees the company is seeking the location.
Someone from the company stopped by in February, and weve been wondering if were going to stay here, he said. This is now a big rumor thats been going back and forth in the mall. But Ive been told there are no definite plans in place yet.
Its a rumor that also reached the ears of Diane F. Habeeb, an employee at Dannys Coffee. She has heard from mall employees the store will likely open in April. The coffee stand is at the front of the food court outside Glowgolf.
I would love to have a Christmas Tree Shop here because we have nothing like it in the mall, she said, adding she makes trips to the Syracuse store with her husband.
Its diverse mix of inexpensive merchandise is what keeps her coming back.
Mall manager Mary P. Dudo did not confirm the franchises interest in moving to the mall but said customers are talking about it. Particulars about the companys plan likely wont be made public until a lease is signed.
If they looked at Glowgolf, they didnt come here, she said. Weve had customers come here and talk about the plans. But they are going to release the information when theyre ready. I dont find the company different than any other major employer.

We had a great Christmas, went and ran blinds mid morning with Reese, Sniper and Callahan.
Then off to my sisters for awesome prime rib and lobsters. Dogs got prime rib scraps last night
and a big rib bone for each this morning. They are outside and I have not heard a sound in over an hour.
We are back training on Friday, Sat., Sun. Mon. and Tuesday.
Hope everyone had a good Christmas, what are your plans for the rest of the Holidays?

Firefighters have installed the top of the Sistine Chapel chimney that will signal to the world that a new pope has been elected, while construction workers were preparing the chapel interior for the start of the papal conclave Tuesday. For such an important decision, the chimney is an awfully simple affair: a century-old cast iron stove where ballot papers are burned, with a copper pipe out the top that snakes up the Sistine's frescoed walls, out the window and onto the chapel roof.

Documents: 'He lacked sincere emotion of what had just occurred'
YAKIMA, Wash. -- Police say they're not done with the case of Cynthia Kelley-Munzanreder's murder. She was killed last week ouside a Union Gap movie theater.
Detectives spent Wednesday interviewing more witnesses.
Interim Police Chief Greg Cobb told Action News he hasn't ruled out the possibility of more suspects.
This, after officers arrested John Munzanreder and Juan Ibanez Cortes for killing Munzanreder's wife. The two suspects are each being held on $2 million bail at the Yakima County Jail.
Police say they have a lot of evidence to process.
Action News will stay on top of the case.

Results tagged "Colleges and Universities" from IABlog
The latest annual ranking of U.S. universities by U.S. News & World Report came out on Tuesday, and while I'm personally pleased with how some higher learning institutions performed (Go Tigers!), I'm a bit dismayed that none of the top 10 has much of a reputation for their Digital Marketing or Advertising programs. In fact, only one school in the top 20 offers an undergraduate major with a digital focus.
Why does any of this matter? Because there's a growing disconnect between the needs of the market and the available resources at universities. Marketing and Advertising— digital marketing, in particular, and digital advertising—are driving the mobile and digital revolutions which have created billions of dollars in equity value and hundreds of thousands of jobs. While academic programs struggle to incorporate current trends into a semester-long course, IAB member companies express exasperation at finding qualified college graduates to fill entry-level positions.
The timing is right for all of this to change. Struggling under mountains of college debt, students (and parents) want assurances that their degrees will lead to careers, not just jobs. Colleges face their own financial crises and as the competition for students increases, every institute of higher education—from community colleges to state universities to liberal arts colleges—will recognize that there are worse academic sins than preparing students for life and work after the classroom.
The IAB Digital University Study
Digital advertising and marketing aren't the only sectors of the economy that are growing, of course. But they might be the most underrepresented among university programs. IAB recently commissioned a study of current offerings of undergraduate programs in advertising, marketing, and digital media studies at recognized U.S. institutions. Choosing "best" of anything is clearly subjective, and so we chose our criteria carefully. We looked at five requirements for colleges to satisfy in order to make our list:
1. The university is nationally and internationally recognized in various disciplines
2. The university offers undergraduate degrees in advertising, marketing, media studies, or business
3. The advertising program includes an emphasis in interactive advertising, digital media, or at least offers several courses with a focus on interactive and social media advertising
4. The marketing program allows for elective courses outside the business school
5. The university offers courses in digital media design that are available to non-art majors
Location, while not a primary factor, was also taken into consideration. Programs in New York and California received additional attention.
The following programs, in no particular order, show the most promise in addressing the five factors (the U.S. News & World national rankings are listed in parentheses after each university):
- University of Texas at Austin - BA in Advertising with an emphasis in Media Studies (#52)
- New York University - BBA in Marketing or BS in Media, Culture and Communication (#32)
- Syracuse University - BA in Advertising (#62)
- University of California at Berkeley - BA in Media Studies (#20)
- Southern Methodist University - BA in Advertising with Media Emphasis (#60)
The following programs have established and recognized interactive advertising programs but may not meet other requirements.
- Michigan State University - BA in Advertising with an emphasis in Management and Media (#73)
- University of Washington - Master of Communications in Digital Media (#52)
- University of Michigan, Dearborn - BBA in Digital Marketing (#36 Regional Ranking)
There's a lot here to consider. The digital industry needs more top schools to introduce relevant digital courses and majors. IAB, as an industry leader, need to become actively involved in the programs that are being offered and figure out a way to enhance their reputation.
And here's why: In order for the digital economy to continue to flourish, the current and next generation of post-secondary students must be prepared for interactive advertising careers. On-the-job training can only go so far and can be much more efficient if new employees have the requisite skills and knowledge before entering the workforce.
IAB is committed to professionalizing the digital advertising workforce of the 21st century, creating accredited credentials that set industry-wide standards of knowledge and expertise. We started in 2012 with the Digital Media Sales Certification program and have certified nearly a thousand sales professionals in little more than a year. Now, this week, we launched the Digital Ad Operations Certification program, the first-ever certification for digital ad ops professionals at ad agencies, digital publishers, trading desks, demand and supply-side platforms, exchanges and brands. We will continue our efforts in 2014, introducing new certification programs wherever the marketplace deems necessary.
But education, training and workforce development need to occur further upstream. Private industry—the digital employers who represent the greatest need for a trained and capable workforce—must make its need for qualified graduates known to colleges and universities, and to partner with these institutions, providing scholarships, endowing chairs, funding programs, and joining faculties. IAB sees a major role for itself in helping to make these partnerships possible. Look for further developments in 2014.

Antique Parasol / Umbrella
I was on the verge of selling this today and I just couldn't bring myself to. I just have this feeling that it is something special. Unfortunately my knowledge of umbrellas and parasols is limited. It almost seems like this is a cane/umbrella combo because of it's length (33"). The base of the handle appears to be ivory and then the part you hold on to looks like an actual branch of cherry (6.5" long" that was drilled and fit over the metal. The two parts are coupled with a small marked sterling ring. The fabric is in good shape with a couple stitches. It looks like there was a tag where one of the arms goes out stitched between the two panels. It probably fell off a long time ago. There is a sewn on piece to wrap the umbrella up and button it so it stays shut. I have sat down and searched a few times and while I can find things somewhat similar they aren't close enough to give me the answers to my questions. I was hoping someone would be able to help me with possible age, rarity, etc. Maybe even value if that is possible. Thank you.

By WALT BORLAHelper
The massive overpass construction project now underway at the intersection of Highway 6 and North Main Street in Helper is designed to eliminate the hazardous situation of cross highway traffic in the area. In the process of construction a much more hazardous situation has developed this past week.
The Highway 6 traffic at the intersection has been divided, the south bound utilizing the lane on the west side of the project, nearest the Swifts gasoline and deli business. The north bound traffic is directed on a new lane on the east side of the project near the bridge over the Price River. This has brought about two stop signs, approximately 50 feet or so apart.
It is the stop sign on the east side that concerns me and a good number of Helper citizens presently. There is a blind spot at the sign due to the block retaining wall constructed adjacent to this stop sign. A driver traveling east on North Main can not see the traffic coming north on the highway without almost getting into the lane of the highway traffic. A similar block retaining wall is going up on west side and will present the same hazard for west bound traffic on North Main as the south bound Highway 6 traffic will not be visible until upon the intersection.
A reflective mirror has been installed on the east side intersection, but this does not adequately serve the purpose of solving the problem.
This is an intolerable situation that is an invitation to a disaster. I contacted the Helper chief of police in regards to the situation and was told there was nothing the city could do, that UDOT was calling the shots. Surely it is the responsibility of a municipality to safeguard the safety of its citizens, UDOT or no UDOT. The citizens of Helper should not have to put up with this hazardous situation.
Last summer I watched the renovation of two bridges on Highway 6 , one in Spanish Fork Canyon, the other just north of Green River. In both cases portable semaphore signals were utilized to handle the traffic. Yet, they tell us in the Helper overpass project, traffic on Highway 6 cannot be stopped, even momentarily.

After an hour rain delay Parker Bridwell hits 100mph on 5th pitch of the game
Our own poster, Shorebirdfan, who was in attendance last night tweeted that Bridwell hit 100 mph. Stadium guns usually run a bit hot, so I'd say give or take 2-3 mph. But it's still impressive, nonetheless.
