Due to popular demand, we're revisiting our poll to find your favourite fictional mathematician.
It is quite difficult to compile a list of fictional mathematicians. Scientists are often portrayed in films — usually as mad — but there are very few who are specialised mathematicians. Here at Plus, we have come up with a list that we think covers most well-known fictional mathematicians, although it is debatable whether some are even mathematicians at all! We are asking for your opinion — who is your favourite?
Have we missed yours off the list? Please leave a comment and let us know. We will write a biography of the character who wins the poll.

The Abel Prize 2010 has been awarded to John T. Tate from the University of Texas at Austin "for his vast and lasting impact on the theory of numbers". The honour puts Tate on a par with a Nobel Prize winner. In fact, the Abel Prize was established to make up for the fact that there is no Nobel Prize in mathematics.
March 24, 2010
Last week the Clay Mathematics Institute announced that Grigoriy Perelman has won the Millennium Prize for his proof of the century old Poincaré Conjecture. And almost as soon as it was announced the speculation began as to whether Perelman would accept the prize, and the $US 1,000,000 of prize money.
The Poincaré Conjecture is a question essentially about the nature of shapes in space. Mathematicians have long understood the nature of every possible 2D surface in 3D space. For example the surface of a sphere, such as the outside of a ball, is completely characterised by being simply connected — it has no edge, and any loop on the surface can be slid off without being cut or torn. And these two properties are true not matter how much a sphere is squashed or stretched out of shape. However they aren't true for any other kind of 2D surface, for example the surface of a doughnut: a loop through the centre hole of a donut can't be removed without being cut. That is because a doughnut is not the same, topologically speaking, as a sphere.
Poincaré proposed that all 3D spheres can be characterised by the same two properties. However for over a century the result remained unproven despite the efforts of some of the best mathematical minds. The problem was seen as so important that it was included in the list of seven Millennium Problems chosen by the Clay Institute in 2000. The solution to any of these Millennium Problems would be a monumental advancement in mathematics, and the Clay Institute offered a prize of $US 1,000,000 for the solution for each.
In 2003 Perelman surpised the mathematical world by posting a proof of a much wider conjecture online. He claimed to have proved Thurston's Geometrisation Conjecture, that characterised every 3D surface. The Poincaré Conjecture would be proven true as a consequence of this wider result.
After much examination, discussion and exposition, the mathematical community accepted that Perelman had proved the Poincaré conjecture and he was awarded the Fields Medal in 2006, the highest prize in mathematics. Controversially Perelman declined to accept the prize, the first person to ever do so. He withdrew from mathematics and now lives a reclusive life in the outskirts of St Petersburg.
Now that Perelman's work has survived several years of critical review and has been accepted by the mathematical world the Clay Institute has awarded him the Millennium Prize for his proof of the Poincaré Conjecture, the first of the Millennium Problems to be solved. However most people in the mathematical community expect that, like the Fields medal, Perelman will not accept this prize or the prize money. Despite some reports in the media, the Clay Institute told Plus that they had been in contact with Perelman and that "he said he would think about it".
Whether or not Perelman's decides to accept the Millennium Prize at a ceremony in June, his enormous contributions to mathematics will be celebrated for many years, and we hope that he is able to live his life happily in whatever way he chooses. It might seem hard for most of us to understand how someone could refuse such wealth and fame but, as Marcus du Sautoy explained to BBC Radio 4's The World Tonight, for some people other things are more important:
"I think there is something noble in that he values solving a mathematical problem above the glory of being in the limelight and winning prizes and getting vast sums of money. There is something rather nice about Perelman's choice to just enjoy the mathematics."

The worrying decline of Arctic sea ice as a result of global warming is continuing. Last month the results of the Catlin Arctic Survey, an expedition to measure the thickness of Arctic sea ice, were presented at a press conference called by the World Wildlife Fund. On their 434km trek across the Arctic the explorers measured an average ice thickness of 1.77m. This confirms that the ice is getting thinner, but also means that they encountered mainly young ice, rather than the older and thicker multi-year ice they had expected.

How do you judge the risks and benefits of new medical treatments, or of lifestyle choices? With a finite health care budget, how do you decide which treatments should be made freely available on the NHS? Historically, decisions like these have been made on the basis of doctors' individual experiences with how these treatments perform, but over recent decades the approach to answering these questions has become increasingly rational. Statistics and maths are used not just to test new treatments, but also to measure such fuzzy terms as quality of life, and to figure out which treatments provide most "health for money".
While the decisions of health authorities affect all our lives, the underlying calculations are rarely discussed in the media. To explore these difficult decisions and the role of maths in evidence-based medicine, we have put together a package of six articles, three podcasts, a career interview and a classroom activity.

1933 ASC Convertible - American SpeedWritten by Eric Geisert on August 1, 2012 Richard Walpole's '33 ASC convertible
The term "hot rod" means many things to many people, but you could probably add a photo of Richard Walpole's '33 Ford convertible to the Wikipedia page to help folks learn what a hot rod should look like. At 70 years old, Richard has had a lifelong desire to own a highboy, so when it was the right time he turned to a friend in the business, Doug Jerger of Squeeg's Kustoms.
If the Squeeg name sounds familiar, it should. Doug's dad, whose history goes back to when his own ride was featured in the May '62 issue of Hot Rod, has been known as Squeeg since he opened up his shop in 1964, and he has had a long, colorful career as one of the best painters in the country.
Doug has taken over running the shop and moved it from Mesa to a large facility in Chandler, Arizona, and started churning out some amazing cars. The most well-known of these vehicles would have to be the winner of the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award in 2011—Daryl Wolfswinkel's ultra-black '34 Ford roadster. But a couple of years ago Squeeg's also finished up a gold pearl '56 F-100 truck that was powered by a 600-inch, 700-plus horsepower Ford motor for Richard Walpole. They say the best way to gauge what kind of builder you are is if your customers come back more than once, and Richard was happy with his truck so he returned to Squeeg's for a highboy.
Starting with a set of ASC 'rails, Doug Jerger turned to dirt track racer Terry Palmer to weld up the chassis before Squeeg's assembled the rest of it using Pete and Jakes ladder bars with a chromed Currie 9-inch rear (3.50:1), chrome '34 rear transverse springs, a 4-inch dropped Magnum axle, split 'bones, and a set of SO-CAL shocks both front and rear. Steering is handled by a Ford F-1 box, SO-CAL steering arms, and a '40-style column from Juliano's. Lincoln-type drum brakes are on each corner, and steel wheels, 16x4 and 16x7, are wrapped in Firestone rubber (4.00 and 7.00).
The major focal point of a traditional car is the engine, and Richard didn't scrimp when he went to H&H Flatheads to have a potent Flattie assembled with a '50 block, an SCTA 4.125-inch crank, a Winfield 3/4 cam, SCAT rods, and forged Ross Racing pistons. Navarro aluminum heads and 3x2 intake were also used and topped with a trio of chrome Stromberg 97 carbs and a set of finned aluminum air cleaners from OTB. MSD supplies the spark to the V-8, and the exhaust exits through a system fabbed by Joe Spovati. The drivetrain was complete when a 200R trans from Arizona Precision Transmission was installed along with a driveshaft from Inland Empire Driveshaft.
The body for the project came from ASC, and the hood is a Rootlieb item with a modified front lip (see photos) and louvered sides. The metalwork on the car was done by Doug's dad, which included stretching the blisters under the hood sides and also modifying the driver side hood side for the F-1 steering arm. Moose, one of the painters at Squeeg's Kustoms, squirted the custom blue mix using a PPG base and clearcoat over Squeeg's own brand of primer. The chroming was done by two companies: Custom Chrome Plating and Royal Plating. To finish up the exterior, BLC headlamps (found at a swap meet) were added and '40 Chevy taillights installed in the rear apron.
All that was left was the cockpit, and Doug turned to Gabe Lopez to create a custom bench seat that he covered in distressed buffalo hide. Lopez also laid out red square-weave carpet that complements the dark blue found on the car's exterior. A Lobeck gauge cluster, inlaid with abalone shell, is filled with black-face Classic Instrument gauges and provides another unique facet to this car.
Richard's car debuted at the 2012 Grand National Roadster Show, placed opposite last year's winner on the other side of the 9-foot AMBR trophy, and it was a fitting location as the car looked like it belonged there. And that's because, as Richard Walpole soon figured out after his F-100 was finished, Squeeg's Kustom builds great cars.

H&H Flatheads built this beauty for Richard starting with a '50 block. A SCAT crank, Ross pistons, Navarro aluminum heads, and stainless steel valves are part of the go-fast goodies, and the Flattie is topped by a chromed triple 97 carb system atop a Navarro intake. Karas Kustoms fabbed the trick fan bracket and bearing setup.There are a few custom pieces made by Squeeg's found on the body, including a stylish front and rear nerf bar, and a louvered rear roll pan. Another nice detail is the lip that Squeeg's added around the leading edge of the hood—it looks like the factory did it.Squeeg's painted the 'vert a custom blue, while the 16x4 and 16x7 steel wheels are painted black. Firestone rubber (4.50 and 7.00) is found on each corner of the highboy.

Unauthorized to go to back of line, what line?
Current number of applicants outside of the U.S. waiting to immigrate legally through family or employer sponsorship
If there is one idea that has survived the various incarnations of immigration reform, it is this: If unauthorized immigrants in the United States are allowed to stay, they must go to the back of the line.
President Barack Obama has invoked the line. Congressional leaders have referred to the line. Average citizens on multiple sides of the debate have brought up this notion of the line.
What exactly is the line, who is in it and why is it central to the nation's most substantial effort to change the U.S. immigration system since the 1980s?
The line represents people outside of the United States waiting to immigrate legally through family or employer sponsorship — currently 4.4 million applicants. Lawmakers, researchers and grass-roots activists debate whether the estimated 11 million unauthorized immigrants in this country should have to wait until all current applicants in line are processed to become legal permanent residents, or whether they should follow a new waiting period not tied to the existing immigration queues.
The simplistic portrayals of the current line do not reflect the complex reality of the nation's immigration system.
That system is a labyrinth beginning with family or employer sponsorship. The majority of the backlog is in the family category because entry is dependent on the applicant's age, marital status and relationship to the sponsor, country of origin, and whether the sponsor is a citizen or a legal permanent resident.
Annual caps on the number of visas granted further complicate the process, especially for people from countries with hundreds of thousands of applicants.
Those variables mean that some applicants wait a few years to enter the United States, while others wait up to 23 years.
The numbers
More than 482,000 visas were granted last year for all categories of legal immigration. Many of them went to applicants who waited as long ago as 1988, according to the U.S. State Department, which approves or denies visas.
The agency reported that the average wait for a family visa from most countries is eight years. High-volume nations — Mexico, China, India and the Philippines — have the longest waits. For instance, Mexicans are waiting as long as 18 years while people from the Philippines have waited nearly a quarter-century.
This year, under the existing Immigration and Naturalization Act, a maximum of 226,000 family-sponsored visas and 154,000 employment-based visas will be granted. Visas for the immediate relatives of U.S. citizens — spouses, minor/unmarried children and parents — are not limited by any quota.
The proposals
In recent months, policymakers have seemingly preferred that if unauthorized immigrants are allowed to remain in the U.S., they should not gain legal permanent residency until all current visa applicants have been processed.
With no changes to the nation's current immigration queues, it could take as much as 19 years to clear the backlog, said Muzaffar Chishti, director of the Migration Policy Institute's office at the New York University School of Law.
Chishti said Congress has several options, including:
• Keeping unauthorized immigrants in a temporary residency status until all existing legal visa applicants have been addressed.
• Opting for a new system with waiting periods not connected to the current immigration lines.
• Shortening wait times by boosting the number of visas issued each year.
Some leading proposals call for unauthorized immigrants to spend three to five years in temporary status — while they register with the government, pay a designated fine, undergo background checks and meet other requirements — before being allowed to apply for a green card. Then they would need to wait for five years before getting the chance to apply for U.S. citizenship, as long as they fulfill additional criteria.

WINNEBAGO COUNTY (WIFR) -- This summer domestic violence has become an epidemic in Winnebago County. In June Rockford Police say there were 419 reported incidents of abuse - in other words, someone got hurt by a loved one every two hours.
And of all shots fired in Rockford in June, 15 percent were domestic related - many happening inside a home with children present.
Since January the Winnebago County Domestic Violence Assistance Center has helped 901 people get emergency orders of protection - 104 were issued in June.
Karen Gill, Vice President of Operations at Remedies Renewing lives says local shelters have started turning families away for the first time since the fall of 2011. Six adults and eight children couldn't get help in June, even though the shelter has 45 beds and is one of the biggest in the state.
"When we were 5 years old, we all knew you don't hit. Where did we lose that?" Gill says.
The heat, the economy, and having kids home from school full-time could be putting extra stress on parents who might have already been on the verge of a breakdown.
"How sad that these children are going to bed at night not knowing what's going to happen next in their own home."

LinkedIn recommendations have become a staple of many of the networking website's 135 million member profiles. When users fill out or edit their profile, LinkedIn encourages them to tap their professional contacts for a few words of endorsement and, in the case of service providers, a few positive attributes (great results, good value, personable and so on) plucked from a list.
Unlike reference-checking tools such as Pre-Hire 360, there's nothing anonymous about the LinkedIn recommendation process. Not only can endorsees view their contacts' testimonials (and know when a contact declines or ignores their recommendation request), they can choose whether to display those testimonials on their public LinkedIn profile or hide them. As a result, you'll be hard-pressed to find anything less than a glowing recommendation on LinkedIn.
But not all human resources pros and recruiters discount LinkedIn's public endorsements. Shilonda Downing, owner of Virtual Work Team, a Chicago-area virtual assistance company that frequently helps clients with the hiring process, has used LinkedIn to check candidate references in two dozen recruitments.
"When somebody has given you a recommendation on LinkedIn, it's because they feel free to talk about you," says Downing, a former HR professional. "They go beyond 'This person worked here,' which is what you typically get when you call an HR department."
Still, to make sure a LinkedIn recommendation is legit, Downing phones HR departments to verify that candidates and the LinkedIn connections who've endorsed them worked where and when they say they did. Only then will she email a candidate's LinkedIn references to set up a phone conversation.
So far, the process is working. "We have not had a problem," Downing says. "LinkedIn has proven very reliable."

ISU Downs No. 23 OU Behind Niang's Career-High 27 Points
AMES, Iowa – Georges Niang posted a career-high 27 points and Melvin Ejim posted another double-double (22 points, 16 rebounds) to pace No. 16 Iowa State (16-4, 4-4 Big 12) to a 81-75 win over No. 23 Oklahoma (17-5, 6-3 Big 12) Saturday afternoon in Hilton Coliseum.
Niang bailed out the Cyclones numerous times to help stave off potential OU comebacks. Ejim, meanwhile, tied his career-high in rebounds with 16 en route to his 28th career double-double.
The win was ISU's fifth over a ranked opponent this season (Michigan, Iowa, Baylor, Kansas State, Oklahoma), tying for second on ISU's single-season record book.
After falling behind 10-4, the Cyclones went on a 16-2 run to go up 20-12 midway through the first half. Niang had seven points and Matt Thomas buried a pair of treys to help the Cyclones take control.
Buddy Hield had the hot hand for the Sooners, cutting the Cyclone lead to 29-28 on his third 3-pointer in the first period. Hield ended the first half with 18 points, as the game was tied 37-37 at the break.
The Cyclones mounted a 10-point lead (62-52) with 8:39 left in the game behind an 8-2 run. Niang and Thomas both hit treys in the flurry to give ISU its largest lead.
OU then hit back-to-back treys to make it 62-58 ISU with 5:51 left in the contest. On cue, however, Niang answered with a conventional 3-point play followed by a fast-break layup from Monte Morris to push the Cyclone lead back up to nine points (67-58).
OU soon went on a 10-2 run to cut the Cyclone lead to 69-68 with under three minutes left.
Niang then came up big again. First he hit a cutting Ejim for a wide open layup then he buried a long trey on ISU's next possession to give ISU a 76-70 lead with 0:50 seconds left.
Keys to the Game
Niang and Ejim. Without the play of these two, the Cyclones would have been in trouble. However, the duo came to play, registering 49 of ISU's 81 points.
Ejim was a monster on the boards, almost grabbing almost half of the team's rebounds with 16 to go along with his 22 points.

Cyclone Game Ball Goes to…
Georges Niang. The Cyclone sophomore led the Cyclones in scoring for the seventh time this season with a career-high 27 points. Niang went 10-of-16 from the field and was 3-of-7 from 3-point range en route to his 40th career double-digit game.
Niang's 3-pointer with :50 seconds left gave ISU a six-point lead and the adequate cushion to keep the Cyclones out in front.

As a result of the recent wildfire activity in the western United States, Garfield County has recently been exceeding the National Ambient Air Quality Standard for fine particulate matter over the past 24 hours.
Moderate levels of smoke are expected in the Colorado River Valley between Palisade and Carbondale, including Parachute, Rifle, Silt, New Castle, and Glenwood Springs. Fine particulate matter levels are expected to be in the moderate-to-unhealthy for sensitive groups category throughout the weekend.
The Colorado Department Public Health and Environment has issued a Wildfire Smoke Health Advisory for the Colorado River Valley. If visibility is less than five miles in your neighborhood, smoke has reached levels that are unhealthy.
"This is a great reminder for anyone who has not signed up for alerts on the garco911.org site, to do so now. It just takes a moment to register and begin receiving emergency communications alerts," said Paul Reaser, environmental health program manager. "It is also helpful for people to keep monitoring local air conditions to better understand the risks."
Garfield County has real-time local air quality information available on www.garfield-county.com/air-quality/index.aspx.
Air quality advisories are issued by local state health officials.These advisories can help you better assess the outdoor conditions and whether you should be going outside.

Our BES server ran out of disk space yesterday, with nearly 30GB of log files in the c:\logs folder which appears to be the home for ZCB logs. I have attached a screenshot, appears to do roughly 300MB of logs per day. I don't know if this is normal as we are new to it - anything I can do to better manage this? Things seem to be working again for the most part so I don't know if this level of logging is normal.
When I did my setup a month or so ago I think enabled some additional logging on the connector for troubleshooting - when I went to look at zcologctl.exe, it has "enable logging" NOT checked, so I'm not sure if I can turn it off with this method?
I moved a bunch of files out of the log directory yesterday to make space and things blew up and had to reactivate all blackberries, so I want to try and figure out how I can manage this going forward.

Rock 'em, Sock 'em Products & Services
David Ojalvo 060001CNQC firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  integrated services products smarter management service 3,175 Visits
I can remember the day in 4th grade when I got my first calculator. Other than my "Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots", that Texas Instruments 1030 was THE coolest, most magical consumer product that I had ever owned up to that point. It featured the standard four math functions, buttons for percentage, square root, and pi, and an 8 digit LCD display.
Now fast forward to 2011 and consider the fact that it takes dozens of microprocessors running 100 million lines of code to get your average car out of the driveway, and a complex ecosystem of developers, engineers, suppliers and partners to bring smarter products to market.
From automobiles to meat cases to artificial hearts, today's smarter products represent a new generation of capabilities that fuse together sensors, actuators, electronics and mechanical systems.
By all accounts, smarter products and services are transforming the world and the way we interact with it, and IBM is at the forefront of all of the above.
So visit our recently launched Smarter Products and Services web site and learn more about how we help make your everyday products and services smarter!
....AND THEN take a look around your house and office, and let us know what product or service is the "smartest" of them all....or maybe the dumbest? We'd love to get your opinion!

From chaos to profit: A perspective from a fly on the wall
David Ojalvo 060001CNQC email@example.com Tags:  ism simulator integrated workshop service management tivoli 3,010 Visits
It started out a bit frenetic and confusing. Nobody knew what to do or where to go, and panic seemed to set in every time the loud horn blared, indicating another failure had occurred.
No, I wasn't attending a Green Mountain Derby Dames roller derby tournament.
Rather, I was present at an ISM Simulator Workshop session in Washington DC.
My role was to videotape the workshop, with the intent of scaling it down into a 2-3 minute snippet that captures the essence of the session. And as I observed the 16 participants in 'Round 1', it all started to make sense.
The participants were playing the roles of employees at a hypothetical shipping company. They were broken out into four teams, representing four different parts of the company - senior management, line of business owners, service desk personnel
and technical services.
On the screen at the front of the room was a birds-eye projection of the company, including a series of dashboards and schedules, which provided the participants with essential real-time information such as service level data, shipments completed, locations where outages were occurring, and the amount of money that the company was making (or losing!) at any given moment.
The goal of the 'game' was to maximize profits for the company in the face of systems that were continuously breaking down. To do so, each team had to establish its own processes, and effectively collaborate with the other teams so as to create an efficient overall system.
The first round was anything but efficient, as the teams tried desperately to get their own houses in order while they watched all the missed shipments, unresolved outages, and lost revenue on the screen. The sense of frustration was obvious, but the group pressed on.
At the end of the round, the facilitator conducted an assessment of the business by reviewing bottom line data with the group, and discussed best and worst practices that the teams had implemented. Clearly, there was a better way to run this business, and the group was determined to figure it out in short order.
Somewhere in the middle of Round 2, I began to sense that the group was turning the corner. There were a lot more 'aha" moments, a lot less shouting across the room, flip charts were being utilized, and there seemed to be a great deal of relevant information being shared across the different teams.
After three hours and three rounds, the group was both exhausted and exhilarated. They were able to implement an efficient process that yielded a positive bottom line.
But more importantly, they now had a much more tangible understanding of the role that Service Management plays in aligning IT with the business.
I had a chance to interview several of the participants after the session, and they were all effusive in their praise for the workshop. Clearly, the workshop far exceeded their expectations, and they were anxious to share their experience, and apply some of the best practices at their own organizations.
As a new member of the ISM marketing team, the workshop was also a great experience for me. Besides meeting some very interesting IBM customers and partners, I now have a much firmer grasp of the value of Service Management.
Incidentally, we will be running a simulator workshop for customers at Pulse on Sunday, February 27th. If you are interested in attending, please contact David Ojalvo as soon as possible, because seating is limited to the first 20 respondents.
If you are not able to get with us at Pulse, fear not...the ISM Simulator Workshop is portable in nature, and can be hosted at any customer site for a group of your employees. It's a great educational and team building exercise! For more information on this, visit our web page, and contact your local sales rep.
Why you should keep your head in the clouds

Last week, IBM announced an enhancement to our cloud portfolio that will deliver CloudBurst on POWER7-based hardware, as well as offering it as software that can run on currently installed IBM and non-IBM systems.
With CloudBurst, IBM is tying together the hardware, storage, networking, virtualization, and service management as an all-in-one package for enterprises to build a private cloud. This is significant because it removes the arduous manual processes that in-house IT departments often face when configuring and managing their cloud systems.
In the press release, IBM states that it estimates CloudBurst's automated configuring capabilities "can cut IT staff's labor in integrating systems, provisioning and managing storage up to 95 percent." That seems pretty impressive, when you consider that if I could cut 95% off of my work week, I'd be logged on for a total of two and a half hours.
At the heart of this new offering is the IBM Service Delivery Manager, a stand-alone integrated service management software bundle which automates the deployment, monitoring and management of a cloud solution on IBM or non-IBM hardware.
If you'd like to delve into the details behind these solutions, and understand how to decrease your costs and increase your efficiency with CloudBurst, you can contact your IBM sales rep and/or
Business Partner (Business Partner Locator Site).

Long Beach emergencies are everyone's problem
The Long Beach Medical Center board of directors and the state Health Department argue about the hospital's viability while tens of thousands of residents and visitors live and play in Long Beach without the benefit of access to an emergency care center in the event of sudden illness or injury.
The hospital closed when it sustained extensive damage in Hurricane Sandy last fall. Officials say the damage has been repaired and the LBMC's urgent care facility is ready to open, but the state is blocking the reopening because of the facility's terminal financial diagnosis.

In just the past few years, South Africa has hit several key economic benchmarks demonstrating the country's upward trajectory. The country recently achieved its 1st Millennium Development Goal (MDG), reducing the proportion of the population living on less than 1 USD per day by half. Additionally, South Africa celebrates its second anniversary in 2012 as a member of BRICS, the international economic organization that includes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. Inclusion into the group of emerging economies bolstered South Africa's global standing and brought hope for a significant increase in trade relations with its fellow member states.
Minister of Health Dr. Aaron Motsoaledi explains, "Today, discrimination has been cleared and abolished by the constitution. Unfortunately, we discover that we still have two healthcare systems, which, this time, are no longer defined by law. It is not written anywhere, it is not allowed by the constitution, but it is there, and it exists.... Whether you belong to one or the other is no longer determined by your color, but by how much money you have in your pockets."

The Geneva College Golden Tornadoes have been a full-fledged member of NCAA Division III for three years. The women′s softball team has advanced to the Presidents′ Athletic Conference title game in each of those three years. Most recently, the Golden Tornadoes posted a 23-16 overall record in 2014, which included an overall conference mark of 15-3. Geneva has managed just one PAC title in those three title game trips but will look to get back for another shot at a title in 2015.
The Golden Tornadoes have set a very high standard in their first three years as a full member of the Presidents′ Athletic Conference and will look to continue to raise the bar in the future.
The Geneva College softball team will continue to set its sights on returning to the top of the PAC with another solid core of players returning to the fold mixed with a group of solid newcomers in 2015.
A standard of success has been set for Geneva College softball and the future has never been brighter for the Golden Tornadoes and the softball program.

Products Liability
If you've been injured by a defective product, you may be able to sue the product's manufacturer in a personal injury lawsuit and receive compensation for your injuries. A products liability attorney or personal injury lawyer can help guide you through the process.
What Is Products Liability?
Products liability is the legal term used to describe the fact that product manufacturers are expected to distribute products that are safe and operate as intended. If a manufacturer intentionally or inadvertently allows customers to buy a defective product--particularly one that is unsafe and has the potential to cause injury or death--then the manufacturer is must compensate victims.
Typical Product Defects
Product defects are a concern for all manufacturer and are typically covered in the product warranty. But if a part is dangerous and fails, then ensuing injuries are subject to fair compensation from the manufacturer or seller of that part. Some typical product defects, which are often the subject of product recalls, include:
- Tires
- Brakes
- Gas pedals
- Baby cribs slats
- Flammable children's clothes
- Electrical malfunctions
What Is Personal Injury?
Personal injury is the legal term used to describe a situation where someone is injured or killed as a result of another person or company's negligence. Personal injury lawsuits can result from auto accidents, medical malpractice, slip-and-fall accidents and defective products.
If your products liability personal injury lawsuit is successful, you may receive money to pay for:
- Past, current and future medical treatment (including hospital costs, doctor's visits, physical therapy and medical aids) related to your injury
- Any property that was damaged or destroyed as a result of the defective product
- Lost wages if you were unable to work because of your injury
- Pain and suffering
If you've been injured by a defective product, contact a products liability lawyer as soon as possible. There are time limits to file a products liability lawsuit or personal injury lawsuit, so don't delay.

Morality plays
Web Extra | What do Mormons, Catholics, and Jews have in common? They'll each play a vital role in swing states come Nov. 4
Douglas Kmiec is a Catholic with a political twist: He sports serious conservative credentials and is campaigning for Sen. Barack Obama.
The chairman of constitutional law at Pepperdine University served as legal counsel to Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, and once shared an office with Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. Earlier this year, the pro-life Kmiec volunteered for the presidential campaign of Republican Mitt Romney. He's voted Republican in every presidential election since 1968.
In less than a month, Kmiec plans to break his GOP streak and vote for Obama. He's touring swing states with the campaign and asking Catholics to support the Democrat. Kmiec told WORLD that Obama's positions on issues like ending the war and promoting tax policy that he says will "look out for the poor and disadvantaged" come closer to Catholic ideals than do the plans of Sen. John McCain. Other Catholics have severely criticized Kmiec for campaigning for a candidate extremely supportive of abortion's legal status.
Kmiec is one of an estimated 47 million Catholic voters in the United States who form a crucial bloc: Since 1960, the party that won the Catholic vote also won the popular vote. Less than a month before the Nov. 4 elections, the race for Catholics is tight: Recent polls show Obama and McCain neck-and-neck among Catholics and in swing states with large Catholic populations.
With McCain leading among white evangelical voters by 50 percentage points, a handful of other religious groups have emerged as potential game changers: Candidates are wooing Catholics and Jews who could sway national elections, and closely watching Mormons who could affect state elections that carry national implications.
When it comes to state elections, California looms large. Though likely an easy win for Obama, there's a closer showdown on same-sex marriage. Earlier this year, the California Supreme Court overturned a state law banning same-sex marriage. Nearly 61 percent of voters had approved the law in 2000. Next month, voters will cast ballots on Proposition 8, a constitutional amendment to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman. The California outcome could affect marriage laws across the country.
Evangelical leaders spent months working to capture enough voters' signatures-nearly 700,000-to put Proposition 8 on the California ballot (see "The power of three," July 26). Since then, Mormons and others have spent millions of dollars to capture a win for the measure.
Frank Schubert, campaign manager for ProtectMarriage.com, the primary grassroots group working to pass the initiative, told The Wall Street Journal that Mormons have been dominant donors, contributing more than a third of the $15.4 million donated to the group since June 1. (Steve Smith, a consultant for "No on 8," a counter-campaign working to defeat the measure, says his group had raised about $13 million by mid-September.)
The heavy Mormon involvement was no coincidence: In June top leaders in the Utah-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) sent a letter to all Mormon congregations in California urging members to "do all you can to support the proposed constitutional amendment."
It was a striking move for a group typically quiet on political matters: LDS was mum on Romney during the lifelong Mormon's primary campaign earlier this year, emphasizing that its officials don't endorse candidates. But an LDS explanatory document called marriage "a sacred institution" and said its preservation is important "to our religion and the future of our society." Another LDS document noted its teaching that Mormon couples remain married for eternity, signaling another theological underpinning of their political concerns.
Michael Cromartie of the Ethics and Public Policy Center told WORLD that Romney's high-profile run earlier this year may have encouraged more visible political involvement from Mormons as well: "After the candidacy of Gov. Romney, they're staying around until the end."
Roman Catholics are staying around as well: The Knights of Columbus (KOC), a Catholic fraternal organization with 1.75 million members worldwide, has contributed nearly $1.3 million to promoting the ballot initiative in California.
KOC spokesman Patrick Korten told WORLD the nonprofit organization has also contributed to marriage-related ballot measures this year in Arizona and Florida. He says the group has worked on similar projects in dozens of states in the past. "The behavior of the courts in recent years has been atrocious," says Korten.
Like many Catholics, the KOC finds another issue atrocious: legalized abortion. The group has produced pro-life radio spots for stations across the country. Korten acknowledges that some pro-life Catholics vote for pro-abortion candidates, but he says: "It's time to put our foot down as Catholic, pro-life voters, and say: 'You can't have my vote so easily.'"
If Catholic voters are conflicted over abortion, Obama's Catholic running mate, Sen. Joe Biden, may not be helping. While Biden recently told NBC's Tom Brokaw, "I'm prepared as a matter of faith to accept that life begins at the moment of conception," he added, "But that is my judgment. For me to impose that judgment on everyone else who is equally and maybe even more devout than I am seems to me is inappropriate in a pluralistic society."
Two prominent Catholic bishops-Cardinal Justin F. Rigali and Bishop William E. Lori-released a statement refuting Biden's position: "Protection of innocent human life is not an imposition of personal religious conviction but a demand of justice." Joseph Martino, a bishop in Biden's hometown of Scranton, Pa., said he would bar any pro-abortion politician from Holy Communion.
But not all Catholics are primarily concerned with social issues, and many support legalized abortion. Cromartie notes that Catholic voters cover a broad spectrum that is "more diverse than American evangelicals."
Many Catholics have embraced left-leaning policies on economic issues, a dynamic that could have major implications during the current financial crisis. The candidate that voters trust more on economic matters could carry the close Catholic vote, including 41 percent of Catholic voters who identify themselves as independent.
In the final weeks before the election, both campaigns are wooing Catholics: McCain has met privately with Rigali, one of the Pennsylvania bishops critical of Biden, and with Archbishop Charles Chaput, a conservative bishop from Denver. Obama's campaign has held "brunch for Barack" events after Sunday Mass at churches in Pennsylvania and has organized "nun banks" to call lists of Catholic voters.
G. Terry Madonna, a political scientist at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pa., told The New York Times the hard work in the swing state could pay off: "Whoever wins the Catholic vote will generally win our state and, most of the time, the nation."
The gap among Jewish voters is much wider: In this group, Obama leads McCain by 27 points, according to an American Jewish Committee poll. But more than 13 percent of Jewish voters remain undecided, representing a larger margin than usual at this point in an election season, and a possible opening for McCain in Florida-a swing state with a large Jewish population.
Obama's trouble shoring up Jewish voters may come from several sources: Many Jewish voters backed Sen. Hillary Clinton in the primaries, and some may like McCain's foreign policy views, particularly his tough stance on Iran.
But political observers predicted that McCain's running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin, could turn away Jewish voters when reports surfaced that David Brickner, the executive director of Jews for Jesus, preached a sermon at Palin's church in August. Ira Forman of the National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC) said Palin's conservative views on abortion, climate change, and creationism were "totally out of step with the American Jewish community," according to Politico.com.
Florida Rep. Alcee Hastings was harsher: During an NJDC panel discussion in September, the black Democrat told minorities to beware of Palin because "anybody toting guns and stripping moose don't care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks."
Hastings later apologized, saying his remarks "were not smart, and certainly not relevant to hunters or sportsmen." Hastings added that he still believed a McCain-Palin administration would promote policies "anathema to most African Americans and Jews."
Palin spokeswoman Maria Comella declined to comment on Hastings' remarks, telling ABC: "We're taking a pass."

When did my calendar start looking like a game of Jenga?
Ugh. The good news is tomorrow is Friday. Things tend to taper off on Fridays and Friday afternoons are the perfect time to "disappear" and block out some time to work on miscellaneous projects.
So here's what I was thinking.
Tomorrow afternoon: go and get a nice lunch and think about a proposal for Pulse 2011.
The call for papers opens on September 22nd, so now is the perfect time to get ready.
We are looking for speakers, like you, to talk about your experiences in implementing service management.
Jennifer Dennis wrote an excellent post with all the details ("Pulse 2011 Call for Speakers - Opens 9/22 @ ibm.com/pulse!") on the Pulse blog.
The best part is that if you are selected to speak, you get a full conference pass ($1,995 value) not to mention the recognition of your peers (whom you'll be interacting with at the event) as well as a great resume builder.
What do you think? Not a bad way to spend a Friday afternoon!
I speak for everyone on the team when I say that we look forward to what you put together.
PS Obviously, you're not just limited to doing this on Friday. Every day is a good day to work on your abstract :-)

According to the documentation, "Network Edition Moving from Open Source to Network Edition ZCS" (Network Edition Moving from Open Source to Network Edition ZCS - Zimbra :: Wiki), I'd basically be migrating to a new server. I'm just wondering if it might be better in my situation to skip the final section, "Moving the email store & index" and do that when and if we migrate over to the new server.

We've used GDiapers with our two year old from day one and love, love, love them...
We had no leakage issues - I've heard of people who have, especially when baby is new new (we didn't have that issue mostly because she was 9lbs 6 oz at birth...
There's a learning curve with them, but once you get them down, they're super easy and a joy to use... and you can use the covers with a cloth insert (instead of the flushable) if you're feeling cloth-y.
The biggest downside to them, IMHO, is the cost. We pay about the same for the flushable inserts on a monthly basis as we would if we were using brand-name disposables (like Seventh Generation)... you absolutely do NOT get the $$ savings that you get with cloth.
Still, we love 'em!

text: Hopefully this is the right place for this. How do you recover an address that has had the "forget" option selected during auto complete? In this case the address is a location that is being used in the calendar. To fully explain it we have a couple of conference rooms set up as "locations" for use in the calendar. They all have the form [location]-[size]cr@... So as the user would type the [location] into the attendee list on a new meeting all of the conference rooms at that location would show up. Someone recently mentioned they are no longer seeing all the rooms though so my first thought is they clicked the "forget" as opposed to actually selecting it one time. How do I get that back onto their list?

Video: Rev. Lowery Comments on Heaven
ATLANTA -- Civil rights leader Reverend Joseph Lowery held a press conference to respond to comments he made this past weekend. We'll have the video of the press conference online shortly.
In an effort to get out the vote in Georgia for President Obama, Ambassador Andrew Young and Reverent Joseph Lowery have been speaking inside local churches. One such event occurred last weekend in Forsyth.
Wednesday afternoon the Monroe County Reporter went to press with a front page, bottom fold headline that has gotten some attention.
"Civil Rights Icons Pump Obama at Forsyth Church."
"Rev Lowery: Don't think white people are going to heaven."
Is that true?
"I said it was a joke we used to tell," Lowery told 11Alive's Jeff Hullinger. "Clearly it was a joke, and I said it to the reporter it was a joke. I don't know why he would give any credibility to that it was clearly a joke."
Dianne Glidewell attended the event and wrote the story for the Monroe County Reporter. Her view is different.
"Maybe, but there are jokes more appropriate than other jokes," she said. "He is a leader and influencing people. That's where it's inappropriate."
Glidewell said others around her were shocked as well. She doesn't cover many political events.
"I cover city council, board of education," she said. "I prefer people stories, feel good stories."
Glidewell says from the pulpit, Rev. Lowery asked if there were any press. She raised her hand and said Lowery said, "Cover your ears you won't like this."
She said Lowery talk about how "when he was a young militant he believed all white people would go to hell, then he mellowed and believed not all but most. Now that he's older, he is back to feeling the same way initially."
Hullinger asked Rev. Lowery if in 2012 he thinks white people are going to hell.
"I think some whites and some blacks are going to hell," he said with a laugh. "It has nothing to do with their color and everything with their behavior."
Rev. Lowery turned 91 a few weeks ago.
He has stirred it over the generations in Atlanta with lots of verbiage and humor.
It looks like he is still going strong.

I have probably hit my budget to update equipment for this year, although the year is not up yet ..
I upgraded a rifle and scope this year after having had the same rifle since I was 18. For the most part I won't upgrade something unless I really see the value in it for me, but everyone has there own way, how they like to hunt and what they find important to them.
Over time I've upgraded things that have made more sense than others. Some were welcome upgrades like clothing and finding Merino wool. Not having to stink as much from being out for a week in the backcountry has been most welcome. Another welcome upgrade has been a better GPS, the one I had in the early 90's was big and bulky, hard to use and no mapping feature. Better optics upgraded has been well an eyeopener. What I had before was more of a headache due to eye strain and not having the clarity to see in low light.
I've had some other upgrades over the years but for me the ones mentioned above for me have been like putting off getting reading glasses and then getting the eye exam and fitted for a pair and wondering why I put it off for so long.
