text: Hi! My DIR-825 died, which kind of sparked my waning interest in routers... I'm now waiting for an Asus RT-N56U to be delivered, but while I was reading up on it, I began thinking if using separate bands helps throughput (I'm currently on a single band Airport Express so I cannot try this). That is: If i have two computers, both connected to the soon arriving N56U (set to strict N mode, not mixed), will transfer speeds BETWEEN them improve if computer A uses the 2.4 and computer B the 5 Ghz band, rather than both using the 5 Ghz band? I guess there are a few factors you have weigh in, but let's say they're both really close to the router, and there's not much interference otherwise on either band... My common sense assumption is "yes", (a two-lane street should handle traffic much better than a one-lane street, even if the speed limit is a litte lower in the "2.4 lane") but common sense isn't always right... I tried googling this as it feels like a common question, but had no luck.

Category: baby name Theodore
By Abby Sandel
Here's something we hear again and again: naming a boy is hard!
Parents tend to play it safe – or at least safer – when it's time to name a son. The reasons are many: a tendency to hand down family names, fewer possible variations of popular boys' names, a narrower definition of what makes a choice appropriately masculine.
All of those trends are changing today, but the numbers still demonstrate that we're more willing to take a risk if it's a girl. Less than 70% of newborn baby girls have received a Top 1000 name over the last decade. But for boys, that figure is closer to 80%.
By Abby Sandel
Take an overlooked name with an on-trend sound, add a high profile celebrity birth announcement, and voilà – the next big thing in baby names.
Or not. Some names are too offbeat to catch on. I'm looking at you, Apple and Zuma.
But more often, celebrity baby names are truly influential. Starbabies can turn that name everyone is cautiously considering into the next Top Ten favorite. Ava, Isabella, Jayden, and Liam all got a big boost when Hollywood mamas chose the names.
When it comes to vintage baby names, a new celebrity baby can be a powerful signal that a name is prime for a comeback.
Days of apple-picking and costume-creating approach as September gives way to cool, crisp October. Despite being the tenth month of the year in the modern day, October was, in fact, number eight when the Roman calendar was still used. Along with gorgeous gold and crimson leaves, October has an assortment of lovely names to offer. Interesting monikers of this month include vintage treasures like Theodore, classics like Arthur and Margaret, and a few surprises sure to intrigue any Berry.
By Abby Sandel, Appellation Mountain
Some weeks, the baby names in the news are aggressively modern. Rocket and Rebel, Ryder and Stryker. Girls can be James. While boys can't be Sue, there's no guessing if Kayden, Peyton, and Riley are boys or girls.
Factor in names borrowed from nature, colors, virtues, meanings, and the map, and it can feel like every parent-to-be is considering names that would be right at home in The Hunger Games. Welcome to the world, Ocean, Indigo, and Haven. May the odds be ever in your favor.
All of that novelty can make classic, even conservative names seem refreshing.
Little ladies and gentlemen dominated this week's headlines. They're names with history and roots, vintage revivals that are back in 2014, or will be back by 2024. Or 2054. And they'll always come back – eventually – because they're just that enduring.

Burren College of Art Fine Art Graduate Exhibition
Tuesday, 1 April 2014
NUI Galway and Burren College of Art will launch Surface Tension, the Galway Master of Fine Art Graduate Exhibition on Saturday, 12 April at 5pm. The exhibition, which runs 12-27April in The Gallery at the Burren College of Art, features paintings by Mollie Douthit, and drawings and installation work from Collette Egan. Mollie Douthit's still life paintings consider the physical presence and surface intricacies of familiar objects through the use of paint. Each painting is constructed in a single day, building a momentum that the artist uses to push the piece to successful completion. Douthit's work plays with formal conventions of painting such as colour, composition, and paint handling. Her choice of subject matter is intuitive and the completed works express an emotional response to memories of places and people she has encountered. Collette Egan creates expressive drawings inspired by the experience of being within a particular time and place. Through a process of mapping, she traces journeys through life, paying particular attention to the material she encounters along the way. The impermanence of the journey is reflected through the use of transient materials such as chalk, which is employed in immersive installations and then erased, so that the viewer is only able to experience the work for a limited time. Through drawing, Egan seeks to connect to a place while also creating a new world in which to exist, where the artwork ultimately creates a sense of home. Founded in 1994, Burren College of Art is an internationally recognised not-for-profit independent college specialising in undergraduate and graduate fine art education. In 2002, NUI Galway agreed to accredit the first of a series of postgraduate programmes at Burren College of Art. This was the beginning of a fruitful relationship that has continued to develop year on year. For further information on the exhibition and the graduate programme visit www.burrencollege.ie , www.facebook.com/groups/BurrenDegree/. Details on College Egan and Mollie Douthit are available at www.colletteegan.com and www.molliedouthit.com. -Ends-

On World Autism Awareness Day ICAN at NUI Galway Asks Public to Contribute to Irish Autism
Tuesday, 1 April 2014
New evidence from the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention indicates one in 68 children, including one in 42 boys, has an Autism Spectrum Disorder On World Autism Awareness Day, Wednesday, 2 April 2014, the Irish Centre for Autism and Neurodevelopment Research (ICAN) at NUI Galway is inviting the public to engage in planning the future direction of the provision of services for those with autism in Ireland. ICAN, in partnership with Trinity College Dublin and US advocacy group, Autism Speaks, is working to develop an Irish Autism / Neurodevelopmental Registry and Biobank to inform research and long-term public policy decisions around autism. Dr Geraldine Leader, Director of ICAN, underlined the vital role this national resource will play and encouraged members of the autism community families, researchers and service providers to complete the online Irish Autism / Neurodevelopmental Registry and Biobank survey. The survey can be completed at www.iarb.ie The Irish Autism Registry will serve as a national resource for research in the areas of health, education and social services and to inform policy development related to autism. Clinical registries will gather detailed information on autism in Ireland to inform the development of clinical practice, services and future research. Dr Geraldine Leader said: "There is an urgent need to establish a registry and biobank to inform the development of clinical practice, services and future research in Ireland. Given the potential implication of this initiative for the Irish community, we are currently conducting a national consultation process. The aim of the consultation is to provide detailed information about the specific needs of the community and what kind of information should be included in a registry and biobank. As part of this process, we would encourage members of the autism community, families, researchers and service providers to complete our online survey at www.iarb.ie" Autism is a lifelong disorder and has profound effects on an individual's social, emotional and cognitive development, and has implications for the family, state services and society at large. Autism Speaks is the world's leading autism science and advocacy organisation, and over the last nine years has funded awareness, advocacy and research into the causes, prevention, treatments and a cure for autism. Autism Speaks Board Member and NUI Galway graduate Adrian Jones said: "As recently as last week's Centres for Disease Control announcement, we've seen in the US the impact that data collection is having on autism awareness which, in turn, is driving improvements in both the provision of care for those affected by autism and our understanding of the condition. The families who participate in this Irish initiative will be empowering those who are demanding better services in Ireland, while also making a powerful contribution to global autism research." NUI Galway President Dr Jim Browne said: 'ICAN's research and in particular the Irish Autism / Neurodevelopmental Registry and Biobank can help to shape the delivery of care for those with autism in the coming years and highlight the ongoing need for improved services for those living with the condition.' Registries and biobanks have effectively been used in other health areas such as cancer and stroke in Ireland. Some of the best known examples of registries are those that exist in Scandinavian countries where there are well established patient registries which have helped not only to uncover important risk factors for autism but also to inform improvements to systems of care for affected families. The development of a registry will address a range of research questions including: The scale of autism in Ireland across the lifespan. The behavioural health and medical needs of the Irish autism community. The impact of early intervention on later outcomes. Factors that influence successful school placement. Factors that influence improved quality of life among adolescents and adults with autism. Planning for transitions in service delivery, e.g. from preschool to school and from school to adult services. Autism Speaks Campaign 'Light it Up Blue' works with a range of partners to light up major global landmarks in order to draw attention to the issue of autism annually on World Autism Awareness Day. -Ends-

NUI Galway Celebrates 11 Years of Volunteering
Tuesday, 1 April 2014
ALIVE Certificate Awards Ceremony Celebrates Student Commitment to Community NUI Galway's ALIVE Programme today (Tuesday, 1 April) celebrated 11 years of student volunteering with the presentation of awards to 865 student volunteers at a special ceremony on campus. The ALIVE certificate acknowledges volunteering efforts by NUI Galway student both on and off campus in a range of clubs, societies and community-based organisations. Senator Hildegarde Naughton, who presented the awards, said "I continue to be overwhelmed by the efforts of NUI Galway students in terms of their contribution and generosity to the wider community and society. I feel that students have some much to contribute, not least having a positive influence on so many children in our local communities through youth based activities, mentorship and homework club assistance. I am honoured to be part of this important celebration." The ALIVE (A Learning Initiative and the Volunteering Experience) programme was established by NUI Galway's Community Knowledge Initiative (CKI) in 2003 to harness, acknowledge and support student volunteering. Over 8,000 students have received ALIVE Certificates, under the scheme endorsed by the President of NUI Galway, Dr Jim Browne. The programme draws on a strong tradition of student engagement both on and off campus and assists students who wish to actively volunteer while developing tangible and transferable skills alongside practical volunteering experiences. ALIVE is the first ever student volunteer programme to be embedded within an institution of higher education in Ireland. At today's ceremony, Daithí de Buitléir also launched RAG Ireland's latest initiative called the #COLLEGEFOOTPRINT. This initiative challenges students to do at least one positive deed every day for the month of April, capture the deed on their phone and share via the Twitter machine or Facebook with the hashtag #COLLEGEFOOTPRINT. This initiative aims to change the way the world looks at students while also earning some life affirmation. Daithí de Buitléir, founder of RAG Ireland, said: "I want to tell the students that they are doing great and to ask them to continue to make a difference as we have a stake in society. I think that many of them will sign up to #COLLEGEFOOTPRINT as it resonates with their aspirations and ambitions for community engagement. RAG Ireland is very excited to bring #COLLEGEFOOTPRINT to NUI Galway." More information is available at http://www.nuigalway.ie/cki or http://www.ragireland.ie/. -Ends-

St. Joseph's Secondary CBS, Dublin Scoops Top Prize at 2014 Debating Science Issues All-Ireland Finals
Wednesday, 2 April 2014
Secondary schools students from across Ireland participated in the seventh All-Ireland Final of the Debating Science Issues (DSI) competition last week in the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, Dublin. After closely contested debates, St Joseph's Secondary CBS, Fairview from Dublin were victorious to become the 2014 Debating Science Issues winners, with Colaiste Mhuire, Crosshaven, Co. Cork awarded second place. The other schools involved in these hotly-contested debates were St. Brigid's Vocational School, Loughrea, Galway and Our Lady and St. Patrick's College, Knock, Belfast. Four teams, narrowed down from 34 came through regional preliminary debate rounds on a variety of contemporary biomedical science. DSI is a dynamic debating competition, the only All-Ireland collaborative science outreach initiative of its kind, which invites young people to engage in debate on the cultural, societal and ethical implications of advances in biomedical science. Open to students in the senior cycle of secondary school, the competition provides a great opportunity for students to expand their communication and scientific skills. Danielle Nicholson, All-Ireland Co-ordinator of Debating Science Issues (DSI) and REDDSTAR Dissemination Officer, said "DSI provides young people with insight into science as an institution and the processes by which scientific knowledge is produced. Incorporating the values and limits in science as well as its tactics for decision-making, DSI employs a discussion-based teaching model in the pre-competition workshops." She continued "It is important that students do not judge their understanding of scientific knowledge to be insufficient to allow them to engage with socio-scientific issues of concern. Argumentation is one of the cornerstones of the scientific process. DSI increases student engagement with science content and promotes reasoning and justification skills that help prepare an informed citizenry. Data collected from six cycles of DSI involving more than 4,000 students shows an increase in interest in science as a subject and as a career as a result of participation in the project." Judges on the day were: Dr Jill McMahon, Senior Neuroscientist at NUI Galway; Jane Butler, Education and Research Communications Officer, RCSI; Dr Andriana Margariti, lecturer in the Centre of Experimental Medicine at Queen's University Belfast; Brian Molloy, CEO of Orbsen Therapeutics; Maria Delaney, Science Journalist and Founder of Science Calling; Assistant Professor Cormac Taylor, School of Medicine and Medical Science, UCD; Dr Anne Cody, Head of Clinical and Applied Biomedical Research, Health Research Board; Professor of Bioengineering and Regenerative Medicine, Fergal O' Brien, Deputy Director of Research and Head of Tissue Engineering Research Group of RCSI; and Dr Paola Atzei of Science Foundation Ireland. The DSI All-Ireland Finals event was funded by a Science Foundation Ireland Discover Programme award. The competition is co-ordinated by REDDSTAR at NUI Galway and collaborators include APC at UCC, BDI at DCU, RCSI, CIT, CRANN at Trinity College, W5 in Belfast, INSIGHT at UCD and the University of Ulster.

NUI Galway Researchers to Represent Ireland at European Young Geotechnical Engineers Conference
Monday, 7 April 2014
Two PhD researchers in NUI Galway's Civil Engineering department have been chosen to represent Ireland at the 23rd European Young Geotechnical Engineers Conference (EYGEC) to take place in Barcelona this September. Martin J. Timoney from Keash, Ballymote, Co. Sligo and Brian Sheil, from Mullagh, Ballinasloe, Co. Galway, were recently chosen on the basis of their presentations at a national qualifying competition held at the headquarters of Engineers Ireland in Dublin. The annual conference is open to researchers and practitioners, aged 35 or younger, and working in the area of geotechnical engineering. Geotechnical engineering is a branch of civil engineering which looks at the behaviour of soil during construction. In his research, Martin is investigating methods of testing the strength of soil stabilised with a binder, a technique that is used to improve soft ground for roads and buildings. Brian's research involves studying the behaviour of monopile foundations used for offshore wind turbines. Both students are supervised by Dr Bryan McCabe, lecturer in Geotechnical Engineering at NUI Galway and hope to submit their PhD theses in the coming months. -Ends-

Leaving Cert Students! Get your revision on track at NUI Galway's Taster Day!
Tuesday, 8 April 2014
NUI Galway is holding a University Taster Day for Leaving Certificate students during the Easter break. The Taster Day will combine a series of revision sessions on aspects of the Leaving Certificate curriculum, together with some taster workshops in Arts subjects not covered in the curriculum. Participants will gain unique insights into Leaving Cert subjects in revision sessions taught by University lecturers. A choice of 23 subjects is on offer in areas such as English, Irish, French, History, Geography and more. Students will also enjoy taster workshops in University level Arts subjects like Psychology, Economics, Drama, Film Studies and Sociology and Politics. Organiser of the University Taster Day, Joe Mac Donnacha explained: "Students are focused on their revision for the Leaving Certificate at this time of year. The aim of the NUI Galway Taster Day is to help them maximize their revision in key subject areas, while also giving them an enjoyable introduction to some of the subjects taught on the University's Arts degree." The Arts degree at NUI Galway is the second largest undergraduate course in the country, attracting over 1,000 new students every year. Commenting on the ongoing popularity of the Arts degree at NUI Galway for students, Dean of the College of Arts, Social Sciences, and Celtic Studies, Dr Edward Herring, said: "Arts and Social Science students are very creative. More start-up enterprises are founded by Arts graduates than Business graduates. You find successful Arts and Social Sciences graduates in almost every walk of life. Of course, we need scientists, engineers, doctors, and entrepreneurs but we also need those people who understand and can critique human behaviour, social values and cultural creativity. That is what Arts graduates are trained to do." The NUI Galway Taster Day runs from 9.30am to 3.15pm on Wednesday, 23 April, in the Arts Millennium Building on the NUI Galway campus. Advanced booking is essential for this FREE revision session and taster day. Bookings can be made online at: www.nuigalway.ie/university_taster_day.

NUI Galway Hosts Events Across Campus to Highlight Disability Awareness Week
Tuesday, 8 April 2014
Students of the LLM in International and Comparative Disability Law and Policy programme, along with staff of NUI Galway's Centre for Disability Law and Policy, recently held the a Disability Awareness Week - Access All Areas Funded through the EXPLORE project at NUI Galway, the week saw a range of inter-disciplinary events organised all over campus with the aim of raising awareness around disability, diversity and equality in access to higher education and inclusion in society. More specifically, this project aimed at increasing staff, student and public awareness about people with disabilities, with a view to combating stereotypes and promoting the contributions of people with disabilities through a campus-wide awareness week. At the beginning of the week the innovative 'Going to College' Project was showcased. This is a pioneering education initiative supporting the full inclusion of students with intellectual disabilities into NUI Galway. Students currently enrolled at NUI Galway as part of this project, as well as their mentors spoke and shared their experiences. An Employability Seminar was organised on the second day of the week. At the morning seminar attendees, mostly students, heard from representatives from local, national and international organizations working to promote the inclusion of people with disabilities in the workplace. The seminar also addressed issues such as disability awareness within the corporate environment. Speakers included Pauline Dwyer of Employability Galway, Claire Hurley from the NUI Galway Career Development Office, a representative from the Association for Higher Education Access & Disability, and members from the Kanchi initiative, a social enterprise that works with businesses to encourage the employment of persons with disabilities. Highlights during the week included: a seminar on 'Mental Illness or Psychosocial disability- What's the difference?'; an Introduction to Irish Sign Language class, a Disability Awareness Workshop; a Disability Equality e-learning module, designed by the National Disability Authority; and a tandem cycle event around campus, organised by the Galway Visually Impaired Activity Club. Students also presented the outcomes of their Accessibility Audit of NUI Galway. The cast of the Blue Teapot Theatre Company also spoke about the recent production, 'Sanctuary', a poignant, funny and bittersweet play that explores the lives and relationships of people with intellectual disabilities and the obstacles they must overcome to be together. PhD Candidate Siobhán Purcell of the Moore Institute for Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences at NUI Galway discussed how disability is represented in the Irish literary tradition, particularly exploring the works of Joyce and Beckett. The Awareness Week was an opportunity for the LLM students to apply what they have learnt in practice and work towards dismantling the barriers to inclusion and participation faced by persons with disabilities. The week was effective and meaningful in terms of introducing the disability friendly environment in the college. The Disability Support Office and local organisations also significantly contributed to the week which will be repeated on an annual basis. Throughout the week, the students manned a stand to provide information about the week and from which they also made a film asking students to comment on what disability meant to them. The video is available to view at https://www.dropbox.com/s/gmo1762o53umfjw/WhatDoesDisabilityMean.m4v -Ends-

Ha! You'll laugh. It's a little Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX12. It only cost me about $150 at costco. Out of all the cheapie digital cameras I've seen, this one takes the best pics. I wish I had a nicer camera, but this one works just great.

Company Overview of Biomet Sports Medicine, LLC
Company Overview
Biomet Sports Medicine, LLC develops products for surgeons to assist patients. It offers ToggleLoc femoral fixation device, an implant that is used in various length femoral tunnels. The company also provides knee and shoulder surgery, and arthroscopic surgery solutions. The company was incorporated in 1990 and is based in Warsaw, Indiana. Biomet Sports Medicine, LLC operates as a subsidiary of Biomet Inc.
56 East Bell Drive
Warsaw, IN 46582
United States
Founded in 1990
Key Executives for Biomet Sports Medicine, LLC
Biomet Sports Medicine, LLC Key Developments
Biomet Sports Medicine, LLC announced the launch of the JuggerKnotless Soft Anchor device. The JuggerKnotless Soft Anchor is the product offering in the JuggerKnot Soft Anchor family of all-suture implants, securing its position as a leader in all-suture anchor technology. This product, which may be utilized for labral repair surgery in the shoulder, is the first all-suture, knotless device on the market. Knotless anchor technology, which allows surgeons to secure soft tissue without the use of surgical knots, represents a large and growing segment of the sports medicine shoulder market. By combining all-suture and knotless technologies, Biomet Sports Medicine is creating a new market segment, as it did four years ago with the launch of the JuggerKnot Soft Anchor Device. The JuggerKnotless Soft Anchor features the benefits of all-suture anchor technology, which eliminates the use of a hard implant that can fracture and cause loose bodies in the joint. A small, 2.1 mm drill hole that preserves bone and allows more freedom in anchor placement. Unique technology that provides the surgeon with the ability to control the tension of the construct without tying a surgical knot. The JuggerKnotless Soft Anchor will be featured at Biomet Sports Medicine's booth #433 at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) Annual Meeting in Seattle, WA July 10-12. The JuggerKnotless Soft Anchor is cleared for use within the United States only. Distribution outside of the United States is prohibited.

Federal Agencies Act to Remove hCG Weight Loss Products
Latest Diet & Weight Management News
Warning Letters Cite Lack of Approval, Potential for Harm
By Matt McMillen
Reviewed by Laura J. Martin, MD
Dec. 6, 2011 -- The FDA and the Federal Trade Commission today took joint action against several companies selling over-the-counter hCG products that falsely and illegally claim to promote weight loss.
Labeled "homeopathic" by the seven companies who received the letters, the products contain human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone produced during pregnancy by cells that form the placenta.
An injectable drug containing hCG has been approved by the FDA to treat female infertility and other medical conditions. No form of hCG has been approved for weight loss. Making such claims, the letters inform the recipients, is a violation of federal law.
"The joint action is the first step in keeping the unproven and potentially unsafe products from being marketed online and in retail outlets," reads a news release announcing the ban of hCG weight loss products.
The over-the-counter products' labels advise consumers to take the "homeopathic" hCG oral drops, pellets, and sprays while adhering to a very low-calorie diet, as low as 500 calories a day. According to the FDA/FTC news release, there is no evidence that anything but the potentially dangerous diet promotes weight loss.
"These HCG products marketed over-the-counter are unproven to help with weight loss and are potentially dangerous even if taken as directed," Ilisa Bernstein, acting director of the Office of Compliance in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, says in a news release. "And a very low calorie diet should only be used under proper medical supervision."
7 Companies Warned
Below is a list of the companies that received the warning letters as well as the products they sell:
The companies have 15 days to correct the violations or face seizure, injunctions, criminal prosecution, or other legal actions.
"We're telling them that they need to stop marketing these unapproved and illegal products," Elizabeth Miller, acting director of the FDA's fraud unit for OTC products, said in a videotaped statement posted on the FDA's web site.

Climate modelers and disaster proponents remind me of four guys who were marooned on an island, after their plane went down. The engineer began drawing plans for a boat; the lumberjack cut trees to build it; the pilot plotted a course to the nearest known civilization. But the economist just sat there. The exasperated workers asked him why he wasn't helping.
"I don't see the problem," he replied. "Why can't we just assume we have a boat, and simply leave?"
In the case of climate change, those making the assumptions demand that we act immediately to avert planetary crises based solely on their computer model predictions. It's like demanding that governments enact laws to safeguard us from velociraptors, after Jurassic Park scientists found that dinosaur DNA could be extracted from fossilized mosquitoes, and brought the "terrible lizards" back to (Hollywood) life.
Climate models help improve our conceptual understandings of climate systems and the forces that drive climate change. However, they are terrible at predicting Earth's temperature and other components of its climate. They should never be used to set or justify policies, laws or regulations – such as what the Environmental Protection Agency is about to impose on CO2 emissions from coal-fired power plants.
Even our best climate scientists still have only a limited grasp of Earth's highly complex and chaotic climate systems, and the many interrelated solar, cosmic, oceanic, atmospheric, terrestrial and other forces that control climate and weather. Even the best models are only as good as that understanding.
Worse, the models and the science behind them have been horribly politicized. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was ostensibly organized in 1988 to examine possible human influences on Earth's climate. In reality, Swedish meteorologist Bert Bolin and environmental activist groups wanted to use global warming to drive an anti-hydrocarbon, limited-growth agenda. That meant they somehow had to find a human influence on the climate – even if the best they could come up with was "The balance of evidence suggests a discernible human influence on global climate."

God to end the world
So, the big question that everyone has always debated is "if EIU and kNebraska were to go mano-a-mano, which team would you cheer for? Well, If FOX's "Way Too Early Predictions" are to be believed, that will happen this year in the Alamo Bowl. So, if this ugly scenario comes to fruition, who will you cheer for - EIU or kNebraska?
Chuck Lidell: I paint my toenails with pink and black polish. Problem is, I get more paint on my toes and on the carpet than on my nails. Any advice?
Maria Sharapova: Don't you beat up other guys for a living? I don't know how to answer this.
Gotta go with the Big 12.
I'll take "I don't care" for $200, Alex.
Seriously, that would be a bad bowl match-up for ratings. Iowa isn't that little college darling they were a few years ago and Nebraska isn't exactly getting much national love either.
To top it off, Iowa goes to the Alamo Bowl next year and their fans won't be happy - aka - look for attendance on that one to be less than great.
Last edited by ISUFan22; 06-04-2007 at 02:45 PM.
Never EIU.....
Fine... I'm turning this into a poll... :Smart:
First off, FOX has it all wrong!! Our friends to the East and West both agree they'll be playing on January 7th for the National Title. Go ahead and ask them!!
Second, if that was the match-up, I'd have to flip it over to ESPN Ocho or Nueve and watch some Bass Fishing!
Third, look at the International Bowl...Notre Dame vs Miami (OH). Not quite the ND vs. Miami match-up of the late 80's, huh??
Nebraska...no question
Big 12 for sure.
This is funny to look at... they have Mizzou in the Holiday as the #3 big 12 selection...That I do NOT see happening.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin 1775
I would also love to see the big12 skipped for the gator bowl this year again. That would mean they HAVE to take big12 the next 2 years, which would be good news for a rebuilding ISU team.

ok hubby is a surfer so we will need our trip to be based around the beach with a few days here and there visiting yosemite, we are hoping to fly into lax on the 28th march and have till the 13th april, i think my concern is accommodation for us all as im not keen on the 2 room thing in hotels/motels,
so the other idea is the rv thing but dont want to be driving a massive vehicle around everywhere either? plus i have read that us brits cannot hire an rv straight from the airport and have to be in the usa for 24 hours before we can hire?? wow its all really confusing?...we have no interest in going to vegas so our trip would be clustered around sf, la, and sdiego as i said with some nice trips out to the national parks etc and maybe down to ps. any help will be hugely appreciated.

"Absolutely incredible! I am so happy and proud of this victory in Mexico. It is one of the best wins of my career. Julien and I had a perfect weekend, the Polo was fantastic, and the team did a magnificent job. We pushed like crazy from the word go in the cockpit, came up with the cleverest tyre selection on Friday – and were rewarded in the end. It is my third win in a row here. The Rally Mexico seems to be kind to me. And I love coming here. The route suits me, the countryside is fantastic, and the fans make the rally a great fiesta every year."
"All in all, the weekend obviously did not go to plan. I had hoped for more from my starting position, and did not manage to establish a rhythm over the course of the weekend. I tried to put as much pressure as possible on Ogier, which meant driving at the limit. My rally was over once I damaged the suspension. Fortunately I have a break now and have time to forget about the disappointing start to the season. I need to find my rhythm and then attack again in Argentina."
"Third place at the Rally Mexico plus two bonus points on the Power Stage – that is an absolutely fantastic result for us. We do not have an awful lot of experience of the special stages, so always set a safe pace. Our plan was to get through each special stage without making any mistakes. We executed that perfectly. I am totally happy with our rally. And second place in the championship does not look bad either."
"To win the Rally Mexico three times in a row is a fantastic effort. Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia more than deserve this triumph for their outstanding display of driving and navigating. From tyre selection to a perfectly calculated risk strategy – it was a flawless rally from the two of them. However, they are not the only ones who have continued their superb start to the season: Andreas Mikkelsen and Ola Fløene have too. They produced a tactical masterclass and looked very good. You cannot forget that Andreas was making only his second appearance here and had hardly any experience of the special stages. Jari-Matti Latvala and Miikka Anttila made the best of the unfortunate situation after their crash yesterday and picked up some points for the team in the Manufacturers' Championship. All in all, we are very happy with the outcome of the Rally Mexico."

- First of all...Welcome to the group. In a matter of a couple days we
already have 11 memebers and I think I only mentioned this one to the
HamHUD group. This group was formed with the intent to be much like
the TinyTrak group is to the TinyTrak I/II/III.
All I can say for right now is the PICPAC is being worked on and kits
are in the mix. Really, any specific questions should be directed to
Byon, I'll let him decide on what information he feels is ok to
release. Luckily, I am one of the beta testers and I have to say
this is a great little project that I think is going to bring some
pretty creative ideas to the table.
So for now, youins are free to use this group for general Amateur
Radio dicussion, once the project is underway I ask that the subjects
stay within PICPAC, APRS and/or RELATED subjects. Feel free to email
me with any questions or problems regarding the message board.

Reloaded Games now at the helm; more info soon
Hawken's latest beta patch is live, dropping a new mech and a new co-op game mode onto the mech shooter's dystopian landscape. Code-named Predator, the new mech has some decidedly asymmetrical tactics and weapons at its disposal, according to information on the "Invasion" update released by developer Adhesive Games.
Hawken devs are looking to roll out official leaderboards for the free-to-play game in November, according to Adhesive Games' latest community updates. The move is part of a plan by developers to make the mech shooter a home for competitive as well as casual pilots, says game designer Chris Vance.
I feel a bit guilty watching this video overview of the new Hawken map Front Line. Here's level designer Tyler Buser giving a full tour of the chokepoints, cover areas, symmetrical avenues, contestable turrets and vertical combat zones that the team have painstakingly worked on. And yet, when I inevitably blunder into the map, my appreciation for their effort will be replaced with thoughts like:
The perils of long, seated sessions, and how to fix it.
As gender equality issues in the games industry continue to become more prominent, everyone is learning new lessons. Meteor Entertainment CEO Mark Long, for example, recently got hilariously pranked by a female employee who had something to say about a suggestive poster in the office.
A new Hawken patch introduces your latest glimpse of mechs banging around gracefully in the desertscape. According to level designer Tyler Buser in this map overview video, Facility is a map carefully crafted so that "no capture point is ever too far to engage, nor too safe to leave undefended." Sounds like a good source of drama between our favorite giant robot buddies! This is the patch's
So far, Hawken has focused exclusively on warrin' mechs. Understandable - giant robots and big explosions are both pluses in a video game - but there's a whole mech ecosystem to draw on. Assistant mechs, reporter mechs, accounting mechs (or 'calculators'). Admittedly, none of them are going to be particularly useful in a battlefield. Luckily, there's also medic mechs, and Hawken plans to add them
Changes are coming to stompy free-to-play mech battler Hawken. The latest update, which went live today, introduces the new Raider Mech and a fresh map called Facility. It also brings the ability to equip Mech Taunts, allowing you to belittle dead opponents with the tap of a key. The 'G' key, to be precise.
They may look like unwieldy lumps of steel, but Hawken's war machines are surprisingly agile. Meteor's free-to-play shooter gives you control of a twenty-foot-tall mechanical warrior, but it's not another MechWarrior: the maps here are small, and the combat snappy.
It's all about the movement. As my mech thuds around, the cockpit wobbles and dirt flecks the windshield. I hear the mechanical
If you're expecting some holiday downtime, there sure are a lot of free games to try out right now. The latest to enter open beta is Hawken, a free-to-play mech shooter (think action, not MechWarrior) from Adhesive Games. Its publisher, Meteor Entertainment, thinks it'll be the next League of Legends, which is a crazy high bar to target. It only just released, so Hawken still has some time to
Adhesive Games and digital comics publisher Comixology probably touched upon the very essence of geekdom when they concocted an offer involving viewing colorful pictures of robots blowing each other up to access actual gameplay of robots blowing each other up. Downloading the free first issue of Hawken: Genesis not only offers an expository primer of the backstory behind why everyone turned so
Hawken publisher Meteor Entertainment definitely recognizes the appeal of smashing bipedal robots together, which is why CEO Mark Long told GeekWire he hopes the upcoming multiplayer mech-mania will supersede reigning crowd-pleaser League of Legends in both popularity and revenue, boldly predicting a profit pull of $100 million and a nearly 10 million-strong community by next year.
We've pointed a camera at footage of someone playing the upcoming free to play mech-'em-up, Hawken, capturing four and a half minutes of robot battling from Gamescom. Apologies for the music. The camera's microphone warped the hubbub of the show floor into a continuous farting hiss, so we've replaced that with the first item that came to hand, which happens to be an endlessly looping techno skit
Meet George and Dave. George is ambitious, tidy, and good-natured. Dave is lazy, messy, and mean-spirited. Together, they are the Odd Couple.
The promising multiplayer arena mech shooter, Hawken has just received quite a windfall in the form of $10 million of funding from Meteor Entertainment, a pretty massive investment for a debut game of a small studio. VentureBeat indicate that Meteor is backed by Benchmark Capital and FirstMark Capital, the same investors that funded Riot Games' League of Legends.

Title: Lockdown
Paperback, 304 pages
Author: Alexander Gordon Smith
Publisher: Square Fish
Publication Date: August 3, 2010
Source: Publicist
Buy: Amazon
Book Summary:
Beneath Heaven is Hell. Beneath Hell is Furnace.
Furnace Penitentiary: An underground hellhole. A place of pure evil with walls soaked in blood. Murderous gangs and vicious guards rule the darkness. Horrific creatures steal people away in the dead of night. And the impossible – escape – is the only hope.
Steve Review:
Steve, do you want to start another series? Sure! So here we are, beginning the Escape from Furnace series. The first book is titled Lockdown and went by quickly. A boy is sent to prison (falsely accused and convicted), he tries to make some friends (there are some nice people in prison!), and tries to plot an escape (why would he want to go and do a thing like that?).
Sure, the plot isn't the most interesting one, and definitely not the most original plot ever thought up. However, the little twists on reality (ie mutant guard dogs, unstoppable huge guards, and the prison itself which seems to ooze evil) are where this book makes it mark. Labelled as a thriller (with good reason) the fast plot picks up in the first chapter and rarely slows.
You guys know me, I'm all about characters. I like reading about characters that make me feel something. I honestly was very borderline on this area in Lockdown. I liked the main character, and he goes through a lot. The death, darkness, and general strife that he endures almost begins to have a numbing effect though. It is expected, and oft times not surprising. That being said, I like Alex, I like the friends that he makes, and the evil of the prison itself is a character that I'm willing to bet will become more and more developed as the series continues. Who wants a points scale? Oooh, me, me, pick me!
Title: 4/5 – There was significant locking of the down.
Cover: 2/5 – I actually really like the cover. The dude on it is menacing, the effect grand, and the typography attention grabbing. But seriously, why did they put that reflecting face on the goggle lens? Ew, I almost gave the cover a 1/5 because that is so ugly and detracting.
Plot: 6/10 – They were in a very scary prison, they made some friends, they try to escape. Not the most imaginative but a fun ride.
Characters: 7/10 – The main character Alex tells a pretty good story, some of the people he meets inside are also pretty interesting fellows. And the villains, well I'm banking that we are just touching the tip of the iceberg with them.
Writing: 7/10 – Good story Mr. Smith.
Ending: 8/10 – Great ending but as all things that deal with the Furnace prison, it isn't all rainbows and sunshine.
Total: 34/50 – A quick entertaining thriller. I wasn't overly sucked in by it, but it held my attention the few short hours it took me to finish. Mr. Smith certainly does not reinvent the wheel with this book, but he gives that wheel some interesting accessories. I'm ready to see what happens next?

Lives in Miami Beach, FL, United States
Works as a Pro Photographer
Joined on Feb 29, 2004
About me:
Life's a Beach with a camera
I think the wifi capability is the key issue here over the older model. Sounds like a very nice camera.
Reminds me of a great photographer I know that uses Holga plastic lens camera with medium format film to shoot images.
For photojournalist, its the content that sells the image whether it is a technically perfect image or not. Different standards for different media.
Surprise!--there are actually quite a few photojournalists that are using point and shoot cameras for their work. This has been going on for a very long time. My gut feeling is that the degradation of the quality of photography for newspapers and magazines is the reason why newspapers and magazines are cutting their pro photographer staffs to a minimum and just purchasing stock photos for their articles. Canned photography seems to be the solution for news media. Wonder why your newspapers are crap? These dinosaurs are hanging on by a thread. Instagram and iphones are just another symptom of the dumbing down and lowered expectations of our society. Mediocre seems to be the theme for the sheeple.
I only wonder about the comment that a ten percent increase in resolution is worth investing in a new camera system that will require spending even more more money to upgrade existing lenses to really extract the potential of the sensor?
Sigma is addressing the newer super high generation sensors with new lens offerings like the 35mm f1.4 for APC cameras and the soon to be released 30mm f 1.4 for full frame cameras in their " Art" series as well as major upgrades to their other lens lines. Competition is great for photographers. Maybe these tests will prompt the manufacturers to really push the lens technology to take full advantage of these higher resolution sensors.
I just wonder how much further optical technology can be pushed to match these super high resolution sensors. Where is the limit?
MartinaB: I am not sure how this is news when a similar grip was discussed June 21 in the Sony forum.
And this blog reported a grip for the RX100 June 20:
MartinaB--Dont understand why you attack other's success?Richard's excellent high quality grips didn't just design themselves. It took design creativity and expertise. One thing that Dpreview does do right is they recognize excellence and innovation. Is a mention worth sales on dp review.com?--yes! fantastic. Sorry that you are so miserable---but that won't stop Richard from having the success that he deserves!
simon65: 6 years ago Pentax managed to make a small compact DSLR with a large optical pentaprism viewfinder sporting a 0.95 x magnification.
Neither they nor anyone else has ever managed to repeat that feat.
Why I ask?
For I will never understand the mindset of a company like Sony that makes a 'DSLR' camera and then sticks an electronic viewfinder in it.
The whole USP of a DSLR is meant to be its viewfinder, an optical viewfinder, and the larger the better. If you can stick all that in an compact body like Pentax managed back in 2005/6, so much the better.
Alas we appear to be regressing. I dare say this Sony has a great sensor, but I won't haul a DSLR around all day unless I also get the reward of an decent sized optical viewfinder (which rules out the Nikon D3200 and D5200), and even then I won't go above a body 550g.
It the same old story. So many cameras, so little genuine choice.
The EVF took some time to get used to---but I agree with you that I like it much better than optical viewfinders. A few situations has left me wishing for an optical viewfinder---but 99% of the time, I like it better!
How fun. Love it. I love the huge polaroid instant cameras too! That would make it even more amazing! Use an instant film back!
Gimp anyone? I use DXO and lightroom 4.0 depending on which camera I'm shooting with.
tom trinko: This is just the latest example of the media exploiting innocent people to make money.
How many times have we seen family members of people who have died being ambushed at their front door by TV crews?
The bottom line is that while this is offensive it is no more so than the way the media have treated people in the past.
It's clear the major media only cares about their own profits and most major media reporters only care about their career advancement. The suffering they inflict on innocent people-- relatives of killing victims, relatives of people who die in disasters, people accused of crimes but with no criminal record, etc-- apparently means nothing to them.
On a less severe note are the paparazzi who refuse to acknowledge that even famous people have some right to privacy, at least when they're in their own homes.
Don't blame the messenger. The newspaper took the photograph and sensationalized it. There was nothing wrong with the photograph. The photographer did his job and a good one. It was the paper that improperly used the photo and presented it in a way with headlines that were tastesless and offensive. Paparrazi have the right to do their job--any famous person that goes in public or any person for that matter shouldn't expect any privacy in public spaces. We can't control newspapers and how they use our photographs, but I'll be damned if I stop shooting a tragedy---someone needs to document what happens for the authorities and news. I recall that tianamon square masacre in China wouldn't have been known the world around if the press and photographers hadn't gotten the word and photos out. Fascist suppression of the press by totalitarian governments is what you will have if you continue to attack photographers for doing their job.
The photograph isn't a problem. Photojournalist capture real events all the time all around the world--that is our job. The sensationalized Headline of Doom--this man is about to die is deplorable and insensitive. This ongoing attack on photojournalist and aggressive hate towards us doing our jobs is ridiculous. The photo isn't horrible--the way the newspaper presented and the context in which is was presented is shameful. I don't think this should have been presented as a front page photo--but that's my opinion. What about all the war photographers? Are they despicable too for doing their job and photographing people getting shot and killed in battle? Stop vilifying photographers and photojournalism.
How about donating some of the 10 million severance package to the Gary Mercer charity----me. :)
Sigma is serious about improving its quality control and producing the worlds highest quality lenses. The lens on the DP2M is the sharpest lens I
I've ever used---it is amazing. The new 35mm f1.4 lens is the end result of Sigmas intense effort to produce lenses that truly showcase what the foveon sensor can resolve in addition to providing lenses worthy of the 24 and up megapixel cameras. Today and tommorow's super sensors need the best glass and Sigma is raising the bar for the rest of the industry. I want this lens.
beckmarc: I've not been able to use this camera yet but the images people are producing are stunning. This grip looks like it addresses the concerns people have about holding this camera.
What is your problem? The Sigma DP2M is a fantastic camera with one of the sharpest lenses I've ever used. I've tested it head to head against the Sony A77. Imaging Resources used .jpeg images not Raw images for their comparison tool. Why do you have it in for Sigma? What is your damage? Why do you attack someone's effort to make a grip for the DP2M? You have some issues.
Sad Joe: Pleased to see that Canon have been FORCED by Nikon to improve the 5D3 (in certain areas) but why oh why will this software update take so many months? This all smacks of Canon becoming worried about what Nikon are doing and what Nikon have in the pipeline. As a Canon user hoping to go FF I'd love a 5D3 ( I have used one - fab) but even so I feel that Nikon must be laughing to Canon AGAIN.
I can't believe that Canon's can't focus peak yet? GEESH. My Sony A77 focus peaks. I love it.
I don't think this product was aimed at photographers.
The Sigma DP2M series camera it just about perfect. Put an interchangeable lens system on it and maybe ad an attachable EVF to it or built in one similar to the NeX 7 and it would only make it better! I shot and loved my Nex 3--but something was just missing----the foveon Sensor!
I like this development. I use DXO software extensively for my photography and love it. Their testing is excellent as well and spot on. Its a win situation for Dpreview.com and DXO working together like this. Great news!
This camera makes me want to buy a Sigma DP2M and DP1M for $2000.00 and have $799.00 change left. DP2M will blow away the overpriced RX1 in image detail and quality.
Like to see a holster style bag designed to accommodate those of us that shoot with a long lens with a battery grip on the camera. I don't like shooting with a long lens without a more subtantial battery grip on the camera for better balance and comfort in shooting. I don't think this bag looks like it would accommodate a camera with a battery grip on it. Would be nice to see.
EmmanuelStarchild: I'd love to see Canon and Nikon collaborate. Now THAT would be something!
The only truly appealing thing to me about Sigma is the image quality. Its always been about the image quality. Now I've shot with the SD1M and it shoots just fine and is well performing in the iso 100 to 800 range. Beyond that---you better pull out your Canikons. However I don't believe in one camera fits all--so I've always owned different cameras for different purposes. The Sigma Cameras are for shooting the highest resolution images possible. Period.
Pavel Sokolov: Who need an unscratchable lens when you should buy new iphone every year? ;)
The iphone is not a status symbol. It just works. Its a tool, nothing more. I own one---who cares? No one.
