BALTIMORE (AP) - No one saw this coming. Not Maryland, and certainly not West Virginia.
A.J. Hendy scored on a 28-yard interception return and recovered two fumbles as the unbeaten Terrapins forced six turnovers in a surprisingly easy 37-0 victory over the Mountaineers on Saturday.
The Terps (4-0) figured this game would serve as an indication of how much they have improved since going 4-8 last year. After beating Florida International, Old Dominion and Connecticut earlier this season, Maryland expected to be tested by a West Virginia team that had won seven straight in this border rivalry.
The game was over by halftime. Off to their best start since 2001, the Terrapins led 30-0 at intermission after limiting the Mountaineers (2-2) to two first downs and picking off two passes.
"West Virginia, they're always a tough team," linebacker L.A. Goree said. "To be up 37-0 on a team like that, it's great."
Coach Randy Edsall, who was 1-8 lifetime against the Mountaineers, said, "It's always good to beat West Virginia, especially after seven years of not beating them. It's also good to be able to shut out a team with the offense that they have."
C.J. Brown rushed for a touchdown and passed for a score to help Maryland to its most lopsided win in the series since a 54-7 blowout in 1951.
Maryland gets a bye next weekend before opening their final Atlantic Coast Conference season at Florida State.
"Here we are a third through our season and we're 4-0. We can't be better than that," Edsall said. "But there's still plenty of room for improvement, and we can get a whole lot better."
Brown and the offense played well, but the defense did most of the damage. Not only did Hendy score, but Yannik Cudjoe-Virgil picked off a pass near the West Virginia goal line to set up another touchdown. The Terrapins also recovered four fumbles.
"The defense did a super job," Edsall said.
West Virginia finished with 175 yards in offense in its first shutout loss since a 35-0 defeat against Virginia Tech on Oct. 6, 2001.
"Obviously, offensively, we're as inept as we can possibly be in college football," coach Dana Holgorsen said.
The Mountaineers appear to be in full-blown rebuilding mode after losing Geno Smith and Tavon Austin to the NFL. Redshirt freshman Ford Childress was 11 for 22 for 62 yards and two interceptions against the ball-hawking Terrapins.
"Everybody wants to point the finger at the quarterback, but it's tough," Holgorsen said. "We've committed a lot of practice time, a lot of effort, a lot of scheme into being able to run the football. And when they have five people in the box and we can't get a yard, it's going to cause a problem."
West Virginia ran for 113 yards, but 51 of those came on a meaningless jaunt by Dreamius Smith in the fourth quarter.
"Basically, we just had to stop the run, because if they can't get the run going they can't get anything else going," Goree said.
That made it particularly tough for Childress in his second college start.
"We could've had Peyton Manning back there," Holgorsen said. "If you're not able to get any yards in the run game, you're not able to set your feet and throw it down field. I mean, he didn't have a chance."
In the first half, West Virginia compiled a mere 65 yards in offense compared to 61 yards in penalties.
Maryland took advantage of a West Virginia miscue to go up 7-0. A bouncing kick went off the leg of Mountaineers punt returner Ronald Carswell, and Hendy recovered on the West Virginia 24 to set up a deflected 6-yard touchdown pass from Brown to tight end Dave Stinebaugh.
On the second play after the kickoff, Hendy picked off a sideline pass by Childress and went the distance for a 14-0 lead.
It began to rain early in the second quarter while Maryland went on a 34-yard march that led to a 50-yard field goal by Brad Craddock.
Another three-and-out by the Mountaineers was followed by a 62-yard march that produced another field goal to make it 20-0, and Craddock added another three-pointer with 1:35 left in the half.
But Maryland wasn't done. Cudjoe-Virgil deflected a pass at the line of scrimmage and fell with it in his hands. That gave the Terrapins the ball at the West Virginia 6, and Brown scored from the 1 with 18 seconds remaining.
It rained hard in the third quarter, and many of the 55,677 fans at the home stadium of the Baltimore Ravens decided they'd seen enough. Only a few thousand were in the stands when West Virginia twice lost fumbles inside the Maryland 25.
The lone touchdown of the second half came on a 3-yard run by Brandon Ross with 4:18 remaining.

This split domain stuff has got me vexed. I've read through the Split Domain Wiki and have searched the forum for answers, but I'm still a bit confused.
What I can't seem to figure, is how this split domain works with my company's server configuration. We are currently working off of a Sendmail server, mail.genart.org. I need to migrate all of the accounts off of that Sendmail server to a Zimbra server which has just been setup. I can't move all of the accounts at once due to limited resources, so I plan to use the PST migration wizards once this split domain is accomplished. I would like to have a setup where e-mails come into either the Zimbra or Sendmail server and if the account and is not found are forwarded on to the other server.
To me, it looks like my only option is to have Zimbra configured as the primary e-mail server and to prescreen inbound e-mail on the Zimbra machine, forwarding them over if the accounts are not present. Is that assumption correct? If that is the case, what do I need to do to my MX records, Zimbra and Sendmail machines to make this work? Can I leave Sendmail as the primary server and tell it to forward e-mail traffic to the Zimbra box for those accounts which do not exist on the Sendmail server?
Thanks in advance for your help,

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- We have covered plenty of stories in the last few years about Metro escalators failing to work.
Well, that's NOT the case at the moment. According to D.C. Metro Metrics, 94 percent of the system's escalators are, in fact, operational. The transit agency says it's the highest percentage of functioning escalators in nearly five years.

Charles Stross, author of books such as the Merchant Princes series and Accelerando, posted the following on his blog (under the title "Why did you pick such an awful cover for your new book?"):
"Many readers hold the charming misconception that authors not only write their books, but are responsible for the size, shape, texture, flavour, and appearance of the finished physical object...Here's the reality: as an author, I am required--per contract--to supply the publisher with a manuscript of approximately the correct length, on roughly the correct subject matter, that is substantially free from factual errors and libelous or criminal statements. I'm also required to participate in the editorial process. And I can suggest a title. That's all.
The title of the published book will usually conform to the author's suggestion, except when it doesn't. Reasons why the publisher might change it include: the author's idea of a title is going to repel readers, the editor has a better idea, or the publisher's list contains another book with a too-similar title and confusion will arise."
This last reason--that there are too-similar titles already out there--confuses me.
Whenever I walk through the library, I see dozens of books that follow the same titling convention, most notably under an obsession with
<OCCUPATION>'s <CLOSE RELATIVE>.
For Example
Gravedigger's Daughter
Ditchdigger's Daughters
Firework-maker's Daughter
The Storekeeper's Daughter
The Bishop's Daughter
The D.A.'s Daughter
The Austrian Empress's Daughter
Finnish Baker's Daughters
The Fortune Teller's Daughter
The Quilter's Daughter
Kissing the Gunner's Daughter [always a bad idea]
The Pirate's Daughter
The Surgeon's Daughter
The Communist's Daughter
The Monk and the Hangman's Daughter
Bootlegger's Daughter
The Parson's Daughter
The Dairyman's Daughter
Fisherman's Daughter
The Governor's Daughter
Daughters are quite popular (my favorite kind of daughter is the parson's daughter, personally), quite a bit more popular than sons:
Coal Miner's Son
The Boxmaker's Son
The Preacher's Son
The Emperor's Son
A Coach's Son
Senator's Son
as we can see from the lesser occurrence in book titles.
Allure of the Forbidden
There are even fewer books with "Father" or "Mother" in the title, but when it comes to marriage . . .
Prophet's Wife
The Consul's Wife
Rachel the Rabbi's Wife
His Father's Wife
The Astronaut's Wife
The Boss's Wife
Thy Neighbor's Wife
An Astronomer's Wife
The Magician's Wife
The Prisoner's Wife
The Undertaker's Wife
The Diplomat's Wife
The Watchmaker's Wife
The Cowboy's Wife
The Shire Clerk's Wife
The Kitchen God's Wife
The Minister's Wife
The Motorcyclist's Wife
The Time-Traveler's Wife
. . . the forbidden appeal of someone else's wife seems to be played in order to sell books. Which do you think it is? Has Stross been mistaken (or lied to)? Or do publisher's usually not use similar-sounding titles, but are now trying to capitalize on the success of books such as Time-Traveler's Wife by luring readers in with duplicate (and confusing) marketing?
Author Bio:

Medical Technologies
Engineering Expertise
Software Tools
Technologies Available
The University of Oxford's intellectual property, including patented technologies, software, data, designs and know-how is offered for commercial use under licence from Isis Innovation.
On average Isis Innovation adds more than five new inventions or developments each week to its portfolio. For companies these technologies provide an opportunity to develop new and improved products, processes or services, and to gain a decisive competitive advantage.
Oxford's technologies licensed to companies have created many successful products in fields including:
- medical diagnostics
- energy efficiency
- electronic displays
- medical imaging
- consumer products
- scientific software
- satellite equipment
Isis Innovation also assists with marketing selected licensing opportunities from other universities, research institutes and innovative companies from around the world.
Isis manages hundreds of licences worldwide across all technology sectors and has great experience in negotiating licence agreements appropriate for both the technology and the commercial requirements.
Isis supports licensees through management of the patenting process. In many cases the development of licensed technologies can be supported by further research or consulting from the original inventors and developers. Isis can sometimes also offer access to proof of concept funding. Research and development by companies is frequently supported with grants or other financial and tax concessions by governments. In the United Kingdom these may include R&D tax credits, grants from the Technology Strategy Board or the UK Patent Box to name just a few.
Companies that have the resources and desire to turn intellectual property into new products can find a wide range of new opportunities among the listed technologies available. Please contact Isis directly to find out more about any particular technology or sector.
SME Smart IP Scheme
Isis' SME Smart IP Scheme offers SMEs greater flexibility and improved risk management when accessing intellectual property (IP) originating from Oxford University.
This is achieved via a phased programme to access and use IP on selected Isis projects, allowing SMEs to enter into a two-stage licence that recognises separate development and exploitation activities.
In the first stage, SMEs can enter into the development licence with Isis to apply their R&D resources and development expertise to turn a scientific technology into a new product design and specification. Isis funding is available to help with upfront IP costs related to development licences.
Exploitation may then be undertaken directly by the SME or alternatively via another, possibly larger, venture with greater capabilities in production or marketing and sales. In either case the SME that has invested in the development of the product will earn a share of future revenues. Isis will also work with SMEs to encourage, and where possible facilitate, access to the many support initiatives available to SMEs.
Investors in IP
If you are an investor looking for opportunities to create a new technology venture or to license IP on behalf of a 3rd party, please look at our investment opportunities.

Where are they now?
Cities And where is New Orleans headed? | Marvin Olasky
The cover story on New Orleans that WORLD ran four years ago brought in lots of letters, in part because the city had received abundant national attention four years before when Katrina hit. As much of Detroit is a frontier town now, so New Orleans was in 2009, and I wanted to see how the pioneers are getting along.
The overall trend is positive. The area's levee system, improved at a cost of $14.5 billion, worked well during Hurricane Isaac, which made landfall last Aug. 28-29 and stalled for hours, building a 14- to 15-foot surge in one area that rivaled Katrina's. Governmentally, Mayor Mitch Landrieu is an upgrade over ex-Mayor Ray Nagin, indicted in January on 21 counts of corruption.
Economically, New Orleans has a jobless rate of 4.7 percent, with many young people moving in and many business start-ups employing them. Living costs and state and local tax burdens less than those of many other cities encourage entrepreneurship. Katrina's clouds even had some silver linings: City lending institutions did not have the opportunity to fall as far into sub-prime loans as their counterparts in other cities did. With many homes literally under water, builders did not churn out spec homes that would soon be underwater financially.
Educationally, the multiplication of charter schools—most New Orleans children now attend them—has led to more children learning how to multiply (and read, and write). Katrina forcibly closed failing schools where school officials had feared to tread, and the result has been improved test scores, greater discipline, and more innovation. The biggest gap now: an enormous shortage of Christian schools.
Long-term environmental problems remain: Wetlands around New Orleans continue to disappear. The urban environment still has hazards, as often-mistrusted police seem unable to stop the surge that has made New Orleans once again the nation's murder capital and a drug haven as well. (Gambit, a New Orleans alternative weekly newspaper, has spotlighted teenage heroin use, and a Drug Demand Reduction Coalition reported that young adults in New Orleans use drugs at double the national average, with 6 percent of 10th-graders selling drugs.)
But what about the individuals profiled in our cover story: Where are they now?
Pastor J.B. Watkins (St. Roch Community Church in the impoverished 8th Ward) has had to conduct many funeral services for murder victims, some as young as 15, but he also says, "We have much to be grateful for … 70-85 people regularly attending Sunday service … numerous weddings and baptisms … the park next to the church is full of organized sports activities … people are constantly reminding me of how the church is blessing them."
The St. Roch Community Development Corporation, housed in the church, renovated a nearby property that artist Aaron Collier and his wife purchased. The building includes an apartment where the Colliers live, studio spaces for Collier and five other artists, and a modest exhibition space.
Troy Glover—trapped in a house when Katrina hit, floated out on a door, survived days in the Superdome, bused to Texas, returned to New Orleans to graduate from high school in 2009—is still involved with St. Roch and attempting to finish college. He still helps with the church's youth summer camp.
Toy Harmon, who was pregnant with her first child four years ago, now has two little boys "who have turned our lives upside-down in a wonderful way. … This is our city. This is our children's city. We have a call to pray for the city and to serve her." She and her husband Doug are "amazed by the number of families and individuals who continue to move here to be part of the rebuilding."
Bank president Guy Williams says New Orleans government is improving: "Political corruption thrives when people think it's amusing, but when you're trying to save your community you can't mess around. … The idea that corrupt politicians are amusing is gone." He has also seen the formation of many small businesses: "More people see life as uncertain, so 'I'd better do it now.'"
In 2012 innkeeper Joe Rabhan's Bed & Breakfast had its best occupancy and revenue record going back 11 years, pre- and post-Katrina. He's happy that New Orleans received 21 tourism awards last year, including Conde Nast Travelers' World City and Top Ten City awards: Travel + Leisure named it the best city for shopping.
Four years ago pastor Ray Cannata said he had eaten in 650 different New Orleans restaurants and wanted to get to 1,000. And yet, a man has to know his limits: "When I hit 747 places in 2011, that was all the non-chain restaurants within the city limits at that time," so he stopped counting. He notes that the city's film industry is growing and so are the quality and quantity of its festivals: "My own Mardi Gras krewe (the Krewe of the Rolling Elvi—we dress up like creative versions of Elvis and ride mini-scooters) has grown from just 35 people before the storm to 130."
Ben McLeish runs the St. Roch Community Development Corporation, which now emphasizes financial literacy, jobs training, and small business development. McLeish also tried to develop one young man, Eric Green, whom he had met when Eric was a mischievous seventh-grader. Eric came to the wedding of Ben and Stephanie McLeish and became like a son to them, living with them for a year. They caught catfish out of the Mississippi River.
As Eric climbed the rungs of his teenage years, though, he often fell off the ladder. Sometimes he called McLeish to take him to the hospital or pick him up to escape someone who wanted him in the hospital. Drugs, crime, trouble. Sometimes, as on Christmas Eve, 2012, McLeish was able to talk with him about Jesus. Twelve days later, in a blog post titled "Loved dearly and deeply missed, my son," McLeish wrote: "You were on an intense search to make pain & brokenness go away but it seemed like nothing could medicate the deep wounds. We reassured you of our love for you and our deep concern that the path you were on would lead to your demise."
Shortly after Christmas, 21-year-old Eric apparently overdosed. He never woke up.
Where are they now? McLeish wrote in his blog letter to Eric, "I have sought solace in the story of the Prodigal Son and hope and trust that you have made your way home to our Heavenly Father who has rushed out to embrace you and throw a party for you—not because you somehow repented as you passed away but because the profession of Christ Jesus as your savior you once made was true."

WEST SPRINGFIELD, Va. (WUSA) -- The serial groper has expanded his territory into West Springfield, attacking his 12th victim, according to police.
At approximately 10:28 a.m. Tuesday, a 49-year-old woman was jogging on Blarney Stone Drive near Omega Court when a man came from behind her and groped her. She punched him and he ran off.
This incident marks the first time the serial groper has attacked a woman in West Springfield. Most of the cases happened in the heart of Springfield on or near Hibbling Avenue, several miles away where Karina Bedosky lives.
Bedosky told WUSA 9, "I walk my dogs all the time, they're small dogs and I know they're not able to protect me, sometimes I keep it in mind but most of the time I forget about it."
Linda Wuckovich, a retired Arlington County police officer, added, "Even though you're close to home that's when you let your guard down and bad things can happen."
Wuckovich is a 28-year veteran of the Arlington County Police Department. She's taught thousands of people in her 25 years of instructing self defense classes. She says there's not only a false sense of security close to home but people deny anything bad will happen.
"We're like, 'oh, I'm sure it's nothing.' You want to always plan an exit, see a delivery truck or other people walking. Start going where people are going to be," said Wuckovich.
Bedosky admitted, "If someone came up to me I wouldn't know how to react if something happened to me."
Wuckovich has advice: "The first thing you should do is 'no get off me!' Yell really loud and so it attracts attention. You have to be prepared to do something and the majority of people don't know what to do so they don't do anything."
If you are attacked, Wuckovich says follow these three tips:
1. be aware of your surroundings.
2. have an escape route.
3. yell.
In many of the cases, the groper is described as a Hispanic male, around 5' 8" between 25-30 years old, wearing a red baseball cap, and skinny jeans.
In this case, the suspect was described as Hispanic between 25 and 30 years old and approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall. He was wearing a red cap, black jacket and blue skinny jeans.

OK, I'm not one the CWBP experts, just a participant, however...
1. Each block is approximately 600 x 600 miles. Note these are longitudenal lines north to south and they do converge closer together the further north you go, so these aren't true blocks.Still most of the map squares have been created at 600 x 600, however.
2. The actual FT created world we chose to use for the CWBP includes several continents. We didn't want to start the project all over the place, so we focused on one of the larger continents. The regions are only of the northwest half/quarter of the current continent. We haven't even opened those regions yet. At the moment, we are populated the existing regions.
3. The world was FT generated, thus pretty much push button. Not that someone shouldn't create a reasonable plate tectonics map that could justify the current geography, this method wasn't approached at the start of the project.
Someone, (NeonKnight, I believe) created a dozen or so random FT terrain maps and we posted a poll to vote, which one to take. We picked this one and that's how the project started. We weren't all that scientific about it.

On the march again
Special Issue | Last year's Samaritan Award winner branches out
Two red hands painted on a yellow wall form the likeness of a tulip's bud. Painted below: a simple green stem. Written above in black: "Christian Women's Job Corps." The two hands are those of the mentor and the mentored. Both reach upward to God: They are colored red to represent love, and the flower signifies growth. When women walk off the elevator on the fifth floor of the office building that houses the CWJC of Middle Tennessee, the symbol reminds them of what they want and need.
CWJC-MT, based in downtown Nashville, provides GED preparation, life and job skills classes, mentoring, and Bible study for employed but poor women, with the goal of helping to transform "body, mind, heart and spirit." WORLD readers may recall that CWJC-MT last year won the Acton Institute's Samaritan Award grand prize: It's using some of the $10,000 award to help open new satellites, and its newest satellite is a finalist for this year's Samaritan Award.
At the downtown headquarters, executive director Becky Sumrall still consults on new sites, raises funds, administers programs, supervises staff members and volunteers, and networks with board members, business leaders, and donors. She continues to emphasize holistic work with the poor: "We want to be able to meet all the needs of women. The reality is that their lives are so complicated, and they have very few resources."
She points out that a woman from a middle-class family has a support system with people to encourage her and teach her life skills, but a woman in poverty often does not-so CWJC nationally, since its founding in 1996 by the Woman's Missionary Union (an affiliate of the Southern Baptist Convention) tries to provide an environment that will help women to change their lives. The Nashville corps began in 1997 and initially served 10 women; now it serves about 45 each year and 60 more women from other organizations.
Living up to the familiar motto, "a hand up, not a hand out," Sumrall interviews women and determines whether they are ready to change their lives. To be admitted, women must pass a drug and alcohol test or currently be in recovery, and they can only miss class three times without a legitimate excuse. They must meet with a mentor weekly and attend Bible classes. The program lasts one to two years.
Hands are a motif at CWJC. When Sumrall holds up a framed picture of a woman's outstretched hands she says, "Look how pretty her hands are!" They are the hands of Bennie-a recent graduate of the program-after spa day, an annual event when volunteers take the women to get pampered. Bennie, who joined the program after her mother's death, gave the picture to Sumrall after she graduated. Bennie said that her hands were beautiful because of CWJC's work.
The desire to go beyond a hand out is at the heart of CWJC's latest project: establishing new sites for the program throughout the Middle Tennessee region. Sumrall explained that the board first voiced the hope for satellite locations at a 2006 meeting, when it developed a strategic plan for the program's next three years. The board plans to add at least two satellites before 2010, including one in Madison, a Nashville suburb. Because of this goal, the organization changed its name from CWJC of Nashville to CWJC of Middle Tennessee this year.
Soon after the development of the strategic plan, board member Dawn Ferguson, who attends church in Madison, proposed the town as a location for one of the satellites. Ferguson, a tall, thin woman who drives a white Mustang convertible, began volunteering as a way to relieve her grief after her husband died of cancer in 2003. Introduced to CWJC at a women's missions conference where Sumrall spoke in early 2004, she joined the board later that year: "I had been reading Henry Blackaby's book Experiencing God, and he says, 'If you want to experience God, you have to go where He's working.' I was convinced He was working at CWJC."
Ferguson said more than 25 churches from various denominations have joined in the efforts to establish the satellite. The organization will set up its office at First Baptist Church and hold classes at Madison Church of Christ, which stands at a busy intersection, with a bus stop outside its front door and local businesses on either side. The practical location of the church meets another objective in the board's strategic plan: to increase the accessibility of the program.
Inside the red brick building clean, carpeted halls lead to classrooms with white walls, some with Scripture verses on them. Two labs with 30 computers available for the organization's use are down the hall from the brightly painted walls of a youth area. Seventy trained volunteers are ready to go, including three graduates of the downtown center: Ferguson said she was especially thrilled to see them and realize that "they want to give back."
Colorful handprints from last year's volunteers cover a banner behind the receptionist's desk at the downtown site. "Thank you 2006-07 Volunteers," it says across the top. Sumrall said she believes the ministry is growing "because there are women crying out for help in our community. We can grow because volunteers are coming forward. . . . What we're all here for [is] to see women transformed."

Southern Voice
Last night, I attended a book club to discuss The Help by Kathryn Stockett. Stockett, who is white, set the book in civil-rights-era Jackson, Mississippi and writes in three voices: Skeeter, a white woman fresh out of college who is puzzled when her beloved African-American maid, Constantine, disappears; Aibilene, an African-American domestic worker for Skeeter's friend Elizabeth; and Minnie, another African-American domestic worker, with a tendency to speak her mind, which often gets her into trouble with her employers. The book is excellent for a book club, since it addresses a number of issues, including race and regionalism.
Acceptable Prejudice?
I lived most of my life in the South and one of the things I've noticed since moving to California is that anti-southern regionalism is often considered acceptable. In the book club I attended, I noticed how easy it was for some people to want to distance themselves from Southerners, without realizing that it bias is unfortunately a part of our own reality. There were no African-Americans in this group of 20 people. That fact in and of itself should have been the first clue that there is not as much distance between the South and Northern California as some people might assume.
Segregation in California?
Someone in the group asked if racial discrimination has existed outside the south during the 60s, and there were myriad examples from the Bay Area in the 60s of homeowner's associations and even housing titles that prevented the selling of houses to African-Americans and disallowing African-Americans from spending the night in certain parts of town.
Fiction as Mirror
I think it is a disservice to books like The Help to consider them as reflecting one part of history or one part of the country, without interrogating how the attitudes reflected in the book can be found everywhere.
What do you think?

Today I am looking at this simple way of dividing a space to make a room where none existed before.
This studio apartment in Gothenburg, Sweden is housed in a building built in 1930.
By adding the glass sliding door, a bedroom was created in an otherwise open space. Notice the white curtains that can be drawn to add privacy. This same method could be used to create a separate dining room or even an office space in an open plan.

Item has a Minimum Qty
If you have curves, do not waste your money
If you wore a size 16 in pre-maternity clothing, this suit will not fit. There is not ample room for an once of growth for a curvy woman in the rear, unless you want your crack to show. If you have a 38 or larger chest, this is not the suit for you. There is not enough breast coverage, especially with the changes one goes through during pregnancy, and the material is very thin. This is a poorly designed suit for anyone with some meat to their bones.

Looks good, OK fit
I lap swim regularly and bought this suit when my Speedo couldn't cover both my tummy and my boobs anymore. I am 5"-6" and my pre-pregnancy weight was somewhere between 125-130. Normal Speedo size 32.PROS: I really like the racerback straps - they don't fall off and they don't cut into my shoulders. The suit looks good - the lower part is black, which is slimming, and the upper part is blue and green, which draws attention upward. For now (25 weeks), my belly fits great with some room to spare, but I can't judge how big I'll get or how much room the suit has for end-of-pregnancy belly.CONS: The boob coverage is almost too good - the fabric feels like it comes too high into my armpits and rubs a bit while I am swimming. I don't do particularly long swims anymore, but I would imagine it could cause some chafing. My solution is to roll the suit under itself (imagine rolling your sleeves in and underneath your bra straps). Perhaps someone with bigger boobs won't have this same problem.
Fit: Feels true to size
Nice suit but no chest support
I bought this suit for lap swimming and it has been working fine (I'm in the second trimester) and it looks sporty and flattering. I have to agree with other reviews about lack of support in the bust area though. I have a very large chest so I thought it would be ok but that didn't turn out to be the case. That is the only problem I have had with it and it seems like there is lots of room to grow so I will put up with it.
San Francisco, CA
Fits great!
I originally bought this suit in a medium - when it came, it was clear there was way too much room in the top half. (Even though I've become better-endowed during my pregnancy, I'm still pretty small.) Based on what other commenters had said, I thought a medium would be just right. (I'm 5"4" and wear a size 6.) My usual competition suit size is a 32. When the medium seemed too big, I ordered the small for comparison, and I'm very happy with it. My only complaint is that the upper portion isn't thick or tight enough to camouflage my now-prominent nipples - sorry if that's too much information, but these things are important! Otherwise, the suit is fantastic - very flattering cut and style. There is definitely some room in the belly for future growth. (I still have 5 months to go.)

Great for lap swimming, for larger chest
I do moderate intensity lap swimming 3 times a week and this swimsuit is perfect for that. I was a size 8 pre-pregnancy and based on other reviews decided to buy the medium size. There is some extra room in the booty area but it does not ride up. My 26 weeks belly fits comfortable in the front. There is some extra material left, so I think this will fit throughout my pregnancy, but again the suit doesn't look baggy from the front either. I think that this suit is good for people with larger breast, I can imagine that for someone with a smaller chest area the upper part would be too loose. The bands on the back are very sturdy and hold my larger breasts perfectly. The look of the swimsuit is not very fashionable, but it looks like any other race suit and not like maternity clothing, which is a pro in my opinion.
just ok
I like the fit. I usually buy a long suit and have trouble finding maternity suits that sufficiently cover my chest and that don't pull at crotch and shoulders. This one is plenty long. Seems a bit small in the belly though and I still have 2 months to go. I lap swim 3-4 times per week and rinse and hang dry my suit. Have not used suit dryer and it is still starting to get areas where the elastic is failing on the fabric. Usually that only happens after a year or so with a suit and excessive use of the suit dryer. Kind of disappointed about that! Also took a long time to arrive after I ordered it.
Trenton, Il
Great Suit, large on top
Love this suit for swimming laps. I was a pre-pregnancy size 16 and ordered the XL. It fits great and provides excellent coverage of my chest, which is hard to find. I'm now 32 weeks along and it is still very comfortable. I was also a pre-pregnancy DD and have trouble filling out the top on this swim suit. Because it has good coverage I am not concerned, but it does not offer any support.The banded design is flattering and highlights the pregnant bump.
Seattle, WA
So far so good
So today was my first day using the swimsuit. I choose the M size which is comfortable yet still has room to grow. I'm in my 2nd trimester and was size 8 prior to pregnancy. I'm currently at 36 C and feel as though I have good support through the chest. The suit is made of good material and the stiching appears to be sound. The intended purpose of the suit is for lap swim min 3x per week. I will do my best to update the review after some solid use.
Fargo, ND
Room to grow!
I swim about a mile twice a week and have done so for years. I'm currently four months pregnant and my normal suit was getting very tight, to the point that my suit was putting enough pressure on my abdomen that I felt like I had to urinate after only a couple of laps. I ordered the EQ banded maternity after much debating between various maternity suits. So far, it seems great (and I don't feel like I have to pee while I swim!). I ordered my pre-maternity size (L) based on the fact that my normal suite is a size 38. This maternity suit definitely has lots of room to grow in the tummy area and in fact is a little too big for me now (I'm still mostly in my "normal" clothes). The tush also has a little bit of gather, but that may very will fill in as I get bigger. I do wish there was a little more breast support, but if I grow another size there too I think I might fill in the top as well. The full lining is nice, but I find the stitching a little scratchy compared to my non-maternity Sugoi swimsuit. Let's just hope that the suit holds up for the next 5 months. If so I will have got my money's worth.

Great Bathing Suit
This is a tight swim bathing suit but definitely has room to stretch for the growing breasts and belly! I wore it the other day for the first time at 25 weeks and felt sleek as an otter!

Seychelles : Michelin's recommendations
Doubts still remain about the origins of the 115 islands in this microstate that resembles a nebula. A constellation of granitic and coral formations off the coast of East Africa, the Seychelles are among the most ancient lands on earth.
Independent since 1976, this young republic still venerates the "king of the islands", the sea coconut, whose properties the Seychellois are masters at extracting. The flourishing natural world and peaceful lagoons bathing its deserted beaches complete the picture of this paradise sheltered from devastating cyclones.
It's not surprising that these shores have attracted the planet's most intrepid pirates ever since the 17C! The most famous of them, Olivier Levasseur, pursued a reign of terror on this stop on the maritime spice and silk route. Try your luck - you may succeed in unearthing his treasure, which each island is convinced of possessing.
Seychelles cuisine is a rich patchwork recounting the history of a Creole people imbued with African, French, English, Chinese and Indian influences. Mahé, the "Big Island" dotted with rice paddies, and Praslin, "the Palm Tree Island" boast bewitching fragrances and symphonies of colour. On La Digue, the most insular of the islands in the archipelago, hop on your bicycle and head for one of the most beautiful beaches on the planet, Anse Source d'Argent.

Summary:The tumultuous political landscape of Paris in 1968 serves as the backdrop for a tale about three young cineastes who are drawn together through their passion for film. Matthew, an American exchange student, pursuing his education abroad in Paris, becomes friends with a French brother and sister duo, named Theo and Isabelle, who share a common love of the cinema. While the May 1968 Paris student riots--which eventually shut down most of the French government--are happening around them, the three friends develop a relationship unlike anything Matthew has ever experienced, or will ever encounter again.

Datasheet: Model 14 Modular Carbon Adsorption Vessel
The Calgon Carbon MODEL 14 is an adsorption vessel designed for the removal of dissolved organic contaminants, including disinfection byproducts (DBP) or natural organic matter (NOM) from liquids using granular activated carbon (GAC). The vessel is sized to hold 60,000 pounds of GAC which provides the additional contact time required to remove either compounds at low concentrations or poorly adsorbing compounds. The standard design is a single vessel concept where a number of MODEL 14 vessels are configured for parallel operation. As an option, two vessels can be combined with a centralized pipe manifold to allow for series operation. This flexibility of configurations allows the engineer to select the alternative that best meets the requirements of the site and treatment objectives.
The MODEL 14 vessel is provided with one (1) GAC fill line and three (3) GAC discharge lines. The multiple discharge lines are positioned to each extract 20,000 pounds of spent carbon. This feature minimizes the time required for GAC exchanges by eliminating the guesswork of loading the spent to the trailers. The two (2) side mounted discharge nozzles are provided with stainless steel inserts which have two functions. The stainless nozzles project into the vessel and protect the lining during carbon exchange. Also, GAC can vary in density depending on starting material and activity. The discharge nozzle inserts can be rotated 360 degrees to accommodate the differing densities. If the nozzle insert wears away it is designed to be easily replaced. The design has the benefit of Calgon Carbon's extensive expertise and has been proven in numerous applications.
The engineering package can be provided quickly and the system expedited through Calgon Carbon's production capabilities.
The MODEL 14 is provided with three (3) in-bed sample assemblies which allows the operator to monitor the progress of the adsorbent as it flows through the bed.
The MODEL 14 is designed with a unique internal cone under-drain that provides for the efficient collection of treated water and the distribution of backwash water. Also, the internal cone ensures efficient and complete discharge of spent carbon from the adsorber without the need to open the manway to manually wash out the residual spent carbon.
The MODEL 14 system is designed for use with Calgon Carbon's closed loop carbon exchange service. Using specially designed carbon transport trailers, the spent carbon can be removed from the adsorber via a pressurized carbon-water slurry; and fresh carbon refilled in the same manner. This closed loop transfer is accomplished without exposure of personnel to either spent or fresh carbon. Calgon Carbon can also manage the disposition of the spent carbon; typically returned to Calgon Carbon for reactivation avoiding the need for the site to arrange for disposal.

Does anyone provide closed captioning on their streamed version of Breaking Bad, Walking Dead, or Hell on wheels?
I was planning on streaming streaming them from Amazon on my Google TV device. I have since learned that Amazon does not have closed captioning on their streaming. I know Netflix does, but that does not help me with the upcoming season. What about iTunes? I don't have an apple tv, but I have an iPhone and iPad and I think I have a cable to connect those to my tv. I also have a Sony BD player with apps and a WDTV live hub.
Anyone have experince with closed captioning or sub-titles on current season streaming shows?
iTunes has some things with CC, but unfortunately not current seasons.

Fabulous ideas. We have our children's artwork displayed throughout our house. Most of it is hanging (in frames or on canvases). I really like your ideas of using a plate holder and displaying 3D art in a dedicated area.
Your children's artwork is wonderful, I am impressed with the robot E painted before turning 4.
Thank you so much for your comment and well wishes regarding the birth of our baby girl. I really appreciate that you took the time to leave a kind comment.

Love this post -- the ethos and all the practical ideas. Displaying our children's work really encourages them as artists. Fortunately where I live, it's cheap to frame work. So we do it a lot. But we use alternate display methods too -- clothesline, shelves, acrylic frames.

A terrific collection of ideas. We use the plate holders at our preschool to great effect, and also the ikea line with clips.
I love the idea of a small shelf unit to display three dimensional art - I will have to keep my eye out at op shops for just the right one.
I'm enjoying your blog, and look forward to reading more of it.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for
Everything you need to know to prepare a proposal in response to the BRIGE solicitation for FY2013 competition should be contained in the solicitation document.� The Frequently Asked Questions are based on the solicitation and should clarify most uncertainties.� Please read the solicitation and these FAQs in their entirety before contacting a Program Officer.
In addition, there will be two or three webinars (each about 1 hour, but each with the same presentation) for potential PIs.� Information for registering and signing in to the webinar will be posted on the BRIGE Program website.
Only one PI is allowed on the BRIGE proposal. Co-principal Investigators or other senior personnel are not permitted.
NSF defines senior personnel as follows:
Technically, if your primary faculty appointment is in an engineering department, you are eligible.� However, the research proposed must be within the scope of areas supported by programs in the Engineering Directorate.� Proposals for research topics that would normally be supported in other directorates at NSF (such as CISE or MPS) are not eligible for BRIGE.
No. You are not eligible to apply if you hold a post-doctoral appointment. You must hold an active full-time, tenure track faculty position on the date of proposal submission to be eligible to receive support from BRIGE. Your department head/chair or dean needs to certify this eligibility requirement in the letter submitted with your proposal.� (See also Question 7.)
You are only eligible to submit a BRIGE proposal if you have a combined total of no more than three years in a tenure track position at all institutions where you have been a faculty member.
No. BRIGE is for tenure-track faculty (pre-tenure).
Any formal leave granted by your institution does not count towards the three years of eligibility. As long as the duration of your tenure track appointment (minus your leave) does not exceed the 3 year limit at the time of application, you can apply for the BRIGE award. Your department head needs to certify this in the letter submitted with your proposal.
No. You must not have previously served as Principal Investigator or co-Principal Investigator on any NSF-funded research grants. However, previous NSF support from the types of non-research awards listed in the solicitation is not a disqualifying criterion.
Yes, if you meet other eligibility requirements.� The prior support restriction is for individuals who were PI or co-PI on another NSF research award.
No. Please see the eligibility criteria cited in the solicitation: "In addition, at the time that an award is made, the PI may not be a PI or Co-PI on any awarded National Science Foundation research grant." If you submitted a BRIGE grant, you are expected to contact one of the NSF program directors listed in the solicitation if you receive any NSF research support.
Yes, if you meet other eligibility requirements.� As noted in the solicitation, SBIR or STTR funding awarded while you were in industry is not disqualifying.�
Yes.� The restriction with respect to prior research funding is for NSF-funded research grants only.� The reviewers will consider the prior experience of the PI, relative to the goals of the BRIGE program, in developing a recommendation.� BRIGE is intended for beginning investigators to initiate their research programs and to integrate broadening participation as a sustainable component of their scholarly enterprise.
No. The only Senior Personnel who may be listed in the Budget (Line A.1 through Line A.7) is you.� You may request funds under Lines B.1 through B.6, to support students and other similar personnel. NSF funds are not allowed for a collaborator on this award.
Yes. You must submit the current and pending support section, and list the BRIGE proposal as your pending support.
The primary division for submission of a BRIGE proposal is Engineering Education and Centers (EEC).� You or your sponsored research office should indicate the secondary unit of consideration as the ENG research program within the CMMI division in which your proposed research is most closely affiliated.� Likewise, for any BRIGE submission, the secondary unit of consideration should be the ENG program within the CMMI, CBET, ECCS, or EEC division with which the proposed research is most closely affiliated.
Yes. This is a change from the FY2012 solicitation.� The Project Description must include a description of proposed broadening participation activities and show how they are integrated with the research and innovation objectives of the proposal. Proposals that do not include a broadening participation component will be returned without review
Required supplemental documents include:
Activities should support the goals of the Broadening Participation in Engineering Program of the Engineering Directorate, which seeks the development of a diverse and well-prepared workforce of engineering graduates, particularly those with advanced degrees. Activities should use innovative ways to attract and retain members of underrepresented groups to careers in engineering, especially at the advanced degree level.� Broadening participation activities should strengthen the quality of the research, and the research activities should promote diversity. BRIGE award winners should be prepared to become champions for diversity and broadening participation of underrepresented groups in engineering through their careers.� (Please refer to Question 1.)
After the submission deadline for BRIGE proposals, the proposals are reviewed by external panels comprised of experts with the necessary discipline specializations to adequately critique the full complement of proposals. Panels will include members who have experience with and a demonstrated commitment to the goals of the Broadening Participation in Engineering Program.� Each panel may include reviewers from the previous panels; however, the make-up of the panel is different from one year to the next. Additional ad hoc reviews may also be sought. Funding recommendations are made by the cognizant Program Director.� They will be based on the individual reviewer ratings, panel discussion and recommendation, funding availability, and the desire to balance the portfolio among sub-fields within the program and a comparison with panel recommendations of other BRIGE panels considering proposals to the FY13 solicitation.
Yes. As specified in the solicitation, in addition to the Intellectual Merit and the general Broader Impacts criteria, BRIGE proposals will be evaluated with respect to the integration of broadening participation into the research activities.� Reviewers will be asked to consider how the proposed integrated activity will contribute to recruiting and retaining underrepresented groups in engineering, particularly at advanced degree levels, as described in the solicitation.� Additionally, the proposal will be judged on the potential of the research initiation activities to produce sufficient preliminary results to serve as the basis for future competitive research proposals to the Engineering Directorate of NSF, consistent with the long-term research and education goals of the PI.
It is standard NSF practice to process all proposals within six months from the submission deadline; therefore, you will be notified of the status of your BRIGE proposal within six months from the BRIGE submission deadline. Sometimes unexpected events can delay proposal review.
The cognizant program officer for the research program at NSF with which your project is most closely affiliated will be the managing program officer. That individual will review and approve your annual and final reports.
Yes, subject to the limitations specified in the NSF Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide (NSF 13-001), with respect to supplements.�
For questions or information on submission of a BRIGE proposal, contact the Broadening Participation in Engineering Program Director or the Program Coordinator designated for each engineering discipline. Program officers from divisions unrelated to your research will not be able to answer questions about the alignment of your research with programmatic areas supported by NSF.� Question about the broadening participation component of BRIGE proposals should be addressed to the Program Director of the Broadening Participation in Engineering Program.� Remember; please be sure that you have read the solicitation and these FAQs in their entirety before contacting a Program Officer.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Michigan is rolling out new initiatives aimed at bringing military veterans closer to the services the state offers.
Secretary of State Ruth Johnson announced Wednesday initiatives designed to benefit the more than 650,000 military veterans living in Michigan. The proposals include a recently introduced bill that would put a special designation for veterans on driver's licenses and identification cards.
Johnson said the designation will allow veterans to receive military discounts at hotels and stores. She said it will also allow county veterans service officers to reach out to veterans about services to ensure they can "take advantage of the benefits they earned."
Johnson also laid out plans to design a special license plate to raise money to fund veterans' programs in Michigan.

A pre-conference meeting was held in Meridian Friday in hopes of forming a family justice center here. The center would be a comprehensive resource for victims of domestic violence and abuse.
Wesley House and its partners are gearing up for the 2013 International Family Justice Center Conference in Fort Worth, Texas.
Mississippi's surrounding states offer a family justice center, but the Magnolia State is lacking such an agency.
Officials say Meridian's Wesley House is a natural fit for the growing need for resources.
"We met with the people from San Diego who are with the National Family Justice Center and they were real convincing about the need to have a thing like that here in Meridian," said District Attorney Bilbo Mitchell. "It's my understanding if it gets going it would be the first one in Mississippi. Oh, yeah, we are for it."
The conference is scheduled for April 16-18.

I'm working on a email gateway solution and investigating zimbra for collaboration.
Is it possible to create a rule / configure Zimbra to relay outgoing messages external SMTP server based on a tag?
assume that there is a zimlet that adds a special string to subject/body/header to tagthe message.. the use-case is, if user clicks the "tag message" button in zimlet, the mail will be relayed to our smtp directly..

WASHINGTON (AP) — The search for a home for President Barack Obama's presidential library is officially underway.
With Obama's blessing, top supporters are launching a foundation that will develop and build the library, which will both house his presidential records and serve as a lasting monument to his legacy.
The nonprofit Barack H. Obama Foundation will be led by a close Obama friend from Chicago, Marty Nesbitt, and by a former White House social secretary and top official in his re-election campaign, Julianna Smoot.
A vigorous competition to host the library has already ramped up. The state where Obama was born, Hawaii, and the state where he has lived for decades, Illinois, have been lobbying the Obamas publicly and privately.
New York, where Obama went to college, also has expressed interest.

Lineups: At The K on Thursday
Nearly 450 students and adults from Kurashiki, Japan – a Kansas City sister city – will be in attendance for tonight's series finale against the New York Yankees. As reported by the Kansas City Star, the group arrived in Kansas City on Wednesday and will be here for a week, touring the art museums, attending a show at the Starlight Theatre, checking out a local rodeo, eating some KC BBQ and, of course, attending a Royals game! If you are out at the ballpark tonight, meander on over to their section – you probably won't be able to miss them – and welcome them in true Kansas City fashion to our city! And, we'll try to get some pictures of the group posted once they arrive.
Also in attendance for tonight's game…the five firefighters who rushed into the burning buildings in the Waldo area (Kansas City, Mo.) earlier this year, risking their lives to save others. They are the Buck O'Neil Legacy Seat recipients for tonight, the first time all season we've honored more than one person in the seat for a game.
Oh, and don't forget the checkbook if you are coming out here. The Royals Charities Silent Auction will be going on from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Just heard that we secured some Yankees items – such as Joe Torre and Johnny Damon autographed baseballs.
We've got DLR on the mound tonight against New York's Kei Igawa – a true lefty-lefty match up. Here are your lineups…
For the Royals:
German – 3B
DeJesus – CF
Grudzielanek – 2B
Butler – DH
Sanders – RF
Brown – LF
Gordon – 1B
Pena – SS
LaRue – C
De La Rosa – P
For the Yankees:
Cabrera – CF
Jeter – SS
Abreu – RF
A-Rod – 3B
Matsui – LF
Phillips – 1B
Cano – 2B
Duncan – DH
Molina – C
Igawa – P

Santiago, Chile (Sports Network) - Kevin Kisner shot 4-under 68 on Sunday to
secure a 1-stroke victory at the Chile Classic.
Riding the momentum of his third-round, course-record 61, Kisner pulled away
from fellow overnight leaders Edward Loar and Benjamin Alvarado with five
birdies against a single bogey at Prince of Wales Country Club. The 29-year
old, who missed the cut in his previous two starts this year, finished at 21-
under 267 and secured his second Web.com Tour victory.
Loar had four bogeys on Sunday en route to a final-round 69 and a tie for
second place with Brice Garnett, who shot 68. Alvarado (71) and Guy Boros (65)
ended in a tie for fourth place at 18-under.
More to follow.

We are running:
BES Connector 5.0.18
Blackberry Manager 184.108.40.206
I have a strange problem with all my Blackberry users. We moved to a new server over the weekend. Now, all my BB users say they can only receive emails on their devices when they send one from the BB. For example, they can have many new messages in their inbox, but they will never show up on the BB until they actually send a message from the device. Then, all the messages will come through. So, they are having to send a message to themselves every time they want to retrieve new messages.
I am not sure what would cause this. Any ideas.

Konik One, a refugee camp located right outside the capital city of Podgorica, Montenegro, houses over two thousand men, women and children who were displaced during the civil wars in Kosovo during the late 1990's. Many of the housing shelters have little or no electricity or running water, and provide only limited protection from any sort of weather conditions. The Montenegrin government is working with UN programs for Humanitarian Assistance and Development, the United States and Area Support Team Balkans to try to improve the standard of living in these camps.

BLACK FRIDAY ends tonight! Save $25 off $200* Use code: TLBF15
Prince tickets are on sale yet again! See this legendary performer live in concert singing classics like "When Doves Cry" and "Purple Rain" as well as new material off his debut album with 3rdEyeGirl, Plectrumelectrum. Don't miss your chance to see this funk legend live! Who knows what special guests will show up on the Prince schedule, so find out for yourself with Prince concert tickets to his 2015 Hit & Run Tour! Rock on.
Prince Concert Tickets
2015 Hit & Run American Tour
Beginning May 14th in Louisville, Kentucky, Prince and 3rdEyeGirl will tour the U.S. on a more-or-less impromptu schedule. Venues have not yet been announced, but the Purple One is known to crash with little notice because, well, he can. As he said at the 2015 Grammys, "Like books and black lives, albums still matter." Accordingly, he will be supporting his debut album with 3rdEyeGirl, Plectrumelectrum.
Prince Releases New Single "Screwdriver"
Never one to follow conventions, the Purple One continues to flaunt everything! Hear new material like "Screwdriver" alongside "Purple Rain" and other classics at upcoming Prince concerts!
Prince Lifts Whitney Houston Concert Ban
After reports that Prince had banned Whitney Houston from attending any of his shows, his manager released a statement stating that Houston is welcome at all of his shows "4 all of eternity." Apparently someone in his crew made the decision without proper consulation with "The Artist." Prince continues to be a stand-up individual with this classy outreach to Houston who is an old friend.
Whitney Houston Barred from Prince Gigs
Whitney Houston's most recent trip to rehab was preceded by a number of Prince concerts at which the chart-topping diva appeared extremely intoxicated. Whitney reportedly hounded the Purple One for free Prince tickets prior to attending the events and, while at the shows, demanded that she be allowed on stage to perform. Prince has had a variety of guest artists perform at his shows, but his crew, conscious of Houston's debilitated state, didn't want the legend to embarrass herself.
About Prince
The artist formerly known as "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince," who after a failed attempt to translate his name into an unpronounceable symbol O(+>, is once again going by his royal moniker. He has always thrived on controversy; he even released a 1981 album titled Controversy.
In recent years, however, Prince has turned from simply generating buzz to exploring the artistic roots of his funk music. On Musicology, Prince pays tribute to James Brown in the title track, and then goes on to deliver the kind of superb lyrical pop-rock that his devoted fans have come to expect.
While Prince's image often inspires heated debate, his song lyrics have ranged from the fairly conservative and mainstream to the kind that provoked outrage from Tipper Gore. In the more easily digestible lyrics for Kiss, Prince declares "You don't have to be rich/ to be my girl/ you don't have to be cool/ to rule my world/ Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with/ I just want your extra time and your/ Kiss." Androgenous yet straight forward, appealing yet curious, Price is a perplexing musician indeed.
Voted 28th greatest Rock & Roll Artist of All Time by Rolling Stone, Prince writes, composes and produces all of his music himself. He plays all of the instruments on his albums, with the exception of brass. It's said that Prince wrote, produced and recorded "When Doves Cry" overnight, which is about what you'd expect from a musical genius.
