IBM recently issued multiple press releases discussing the use of Maximo with several key public transit systems in North America. These included Long Island Rail Road (LIRR), San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) and Washington Metropolitan Area Mass Transit Authority (WMATA). Here are the links to these press releases.
- IBM and the Long Island Rail Road Improve Commuter Experience
- The San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit Uses IBM Technology to Improve Safety and Reliability
- Washington Metro Uses IBM Software to Keep Mass Transit System Safe and On Time
In particular, the press release with LIRR talked about improving the commuter experience, but all of the press releases had a relationship to the commuter experience, or as I like to call it, "passenger experience".
I recently had the opportunity to speak to several rail organizations at a rail event at the IBM Industry Solution Center in La Gaude, France. Like the press releases, the topic was the passenger experience and how asset management plays a greater role for a metro or other passenger rail system, as opposed to other travel modes such as flying.
When traveling by air it is a bit challenging even for a seasoned traveler. Getting the ticket, choosing a seat, checking in, getting through security, finding the gate, choosing to get food before boarding, etc. are all things we have to deal with before we sit down in our seat. Then there are delays. We have come to expect delays as a regular part of air travel, especially when weather is the culprit. Because getting on the aircraft is frequently challenging, airlines and airports have worked to smooth the process with online ticket purchases, choosing seats and checking in online, kiosks at airports, along with advising what will be served on the plane. These benefits are all focused on the passenger experience, but have little to do with asset management.
On the other hand, traveling on a metro system tends to have much to do with asset management. The process of getting to the train often involves a lot of unconscious type activity. While a regular air traveler will still struggle at the destination airport, the metro rider can usually move quickly through the ticket process and fare gate systems to the departure platform, often only needing to verify which platform is correct.
I feel its when the passenger is on the platform, then on the train, that their "passenger experience" can have its greatest impact. Is the train on time? If it should be a 10 car train, did only 8 cars arrive? Once on the train, is there an in service delay? All of these items can affect the passenger's experience, and can be heavily impacted by the asset management systems. Many metro systems have studied the affect of things like a short train (8 or 9 cars, when 10 should have arrived). The impact is not seen that day. The passengers are already on the platform, so they squeeze in or wait for the next train. However, for the next few days there is often a drop in revenue as this event is a "tipping point" as some passengers will finally be fed up with the metro experience and go back to driving. After a few days of dealing with traffic and parking challenges they will return to the metro, but the transit system has lost revenue during this time.
A good asset management system will improve preventive maintenance, often increasing reliability and availability. We have seen this occur in many of our IBM Maximo clients. Greater availability means that all 10 cars arrive as planned. Greater reliability means the cars don't break down in service as frequently, reducing or eliminating in service delays to that train or the others behind it. It also means the track, signals and structures are being maintained properly so they don't cause delays either. An IBM Maximo client I've mentioned in the past, Taiwan High Speed Rail Corp. (THSRC), was able to achieve over 99% on time performance - and that is within a six second window to the posted schedule! In comparison, most US and European metro systems use two to three minutes to measure their on time performance.
So, if you are a metro system like those at BART, LIRR or WMATA, or a high speed rail system like THSRC, and you have challenges achieving high availability and reliability of your assets, you might consider a review of your Enterprise Asset Management system.

Have you seen anything besides NE HS BB?
I cheer for two teams, Iowa State and whoever is playing the hawkeyes.
Have you seen this kid play #1? Just curious, since you like ripping on our recruits and current players so much.

Wow...you are just a touch on the edge! Take a deep breath and relax.
To answer your question...no, I have not seen him play. Did I "rip" the kid? I don't believe so. Frankly, I just wanted to get some perspective on this guy's opinion since he said, and I paraphrase here, "he is the quickest player I've seen this year"...I'm just curious as to how much he has to compare this kid to...nothing nefarious in my question.
Having said that, I do admit that I am a little dubious of "great BB recruits from NE"...I don't believe that the state could actually be considered a BB hotbed.
He is the quickest high school player I have seen this year. I have only seen NE high school.
Let's just be happy he is ours!

I have not see not seen the kid play, but I am pretty sure McDermott has. I am willing to bet the farm that McDermott has a better guage of D-1 talent than anyone on this message board.
Good enough for me.
How good is Nebraska high school basketball at that level?
Quickest player he's seen all year has to be a good thing. It doesn't matter if he's only seen 1 game, I'd sure rather Eikmeier be the quickest than the slowest out there.
have you ever got caught outside In a strong rainfall? Yes or NO. If it"s yes, then you might half felt the pane of hard(tought) rain on you head. If it hurt"s then it"s tough. Yes or no. Okay I'm right and you know it.
So alothough you attempt"ed to say you didn"t understnad, now you do. Fair enough?
Watching our shooting this year, he would be a pleasant surprise if he shoots well. Looking forward to his joining the team. He may b the best basketball player in Nebraska. I would also think he would not quit the team.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
If Eikmeier was a post kid or athletic scorer the level of competition or his quickness might be important. From everything I've read (Never seen him play) he is a shooter and I'm sure G-Mac recruited him for his ability to make 3's.
Looking back Mac has gotten some pretty good players from small schools. All that matters is Eikmeier fits G-Mac's style of play.
I've heard that Altman really likes Eikmeier. He would be all over him if G-Mac had not looked him up early. He's the type of player that Altman built his program with. I've also heard that Doc Sadler is also disappointed that Eikmeier was gone before he got a chance to go after him.
There were also articles that Missouri would give him an offer instantly if for any reason he were to decommit from ISU.
McDermott said on his call in show last week, that Staiger and Eikmeier should have some good shooting battles in practice. He also said, that Eikmeier has been working hard on his ball handling.
Competition at this level is real variable, this is high schools of less than 250 students.

Hey Guys I'm new to this site. Good to see so many Cali hunters especially the bowhunters. I wish I knew most of what you forgot about X12. I am seriously leaning towards applying for A20 (X12) this year. I have never hunted that part of the state but from what I can tell through google earth there is some really nice country above timberline.
Colorado Cowboy man you have great stories. Your dad taking the first Tule Elk is a great story. You do realize you are very fortunate to have grown up during the heyday. Thanks for sharing.

Additional Information
About Asociación ASDIRASDIR (Asociación de Desarrollo Integral Rural - Association for the Development of Rural Communities) is a community-based organization that works to promote development in the villages and communities where it serves. It was founded in 1999 in the village of Nimasac, Totonicapán Department, by a handful of local men and women to support community projects and group loans. Today ASDIR has 5 offices across 3 departments (Totonicapán, Sololá and Suchitepéquez) serving more than 6,000 clients, most of them in rural communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Results tagged ' 1985 World Series '
And so it starts.
All eyes in the state of Missouri will be on St. Louis over the next three days… or at least they should be.
The legacy of '85 is draped over Kansas City-St. Louis, otherwise known as the I-70 Series. Since interleague started, the cross-state rivals have been a fixture on the Royals schedule. Today is the first of six games in the 2008 Show-Me-State series. After a 3-3 record last season against the Cardinals, KC owns a 4-2 record this season against two first place National League teams.
Kyle Davies (2-0, 1.53 ERA) throws tonight, coming off a no decision against Texas last week. Davies, who has been impressive so far this season, faces Joel Pineiro (2-3, 4.41. Davies run since his recall from the Omaha Royals on May 31 has been pretty stellar, allowing only three runs to cross the plate in 17.2 innings. In fact, before his recall, Davies was leading the Pacific Coast League in ERA and had allowed just four earned runs in his last 25 innings in Triple-A. Quick math for the challenged, that's a 1.48 ERA in his last 42.2 innings.
With Davies throwing tonight, the Royals look to extend the strong starting pitching performances they have had over the last seven games. The next two games in St. Louis, the Royals send Brian Bannister and Zack Greinke to the mound.
Wednesday: Bannister is 1-0 versus the Cardinals when he pitched seven shutout innings in Kansas City last summer. In a switch from the original probables , Braden Looper pitches tomorrow instead of today.
Thursday: Greinke looks to continue his streak of nine straight shutout innings after seven on Friday night in Arizona. Anthony Reyes will be recalled from the minors for Thursday's day game. He will take the place of ex-Royal Todd Wellemeyer who is battling right elbow inflammation.
Yesterday's off day was the Royals first in 13 days, going back to June 2…They had also played the previous 20 straight days before June 2…Joey Gathright (3), Mark Grudzielanek (5) and Jose Guillen (10) enter tonight with three or more game hitting streaks…The Club scored 20 runs in the final two games of the Arizona series, including season highs for runs (12) and hits (17) on Saturday.
Tonight will be big, not just because the Royals start their first series of the season with St. Louis viewing party in the Kansas City Power & Light District. Tonight's game will be broadcast on the 192 square foot HD video screen in the KC Live block. The Game Entertainment folks will be working hard all night with complete between inning features throughout the entire game including the hot dog derby, in-game host Tim Scott and plenty of contests and prizes.
The fun will start an hour before first pitch with performances by the Lee's Summit North Broncos drumline and the Lee's Summit North Northern Stars dance team – the reigning Class 6A Missouri State Champions. Sluggerrr and the K Crew will be on hand as well.
Look for tonight's starting lineup later today, until then here's the Royals Official Game Notes.
See you at the Power & Light District.

Dayton Moore/Jeremy Guthrie teleconference notes
Royals General Manager Dayton Moore and pitcher Jeremy Guthrie spoke with the media today after Guthrie's three-year deal with the Royals was announced.
Moore said that the negotiations for the free agent righty started moving more quickly in the last week or so. He cited Guthrie as a consistent pitcher who can continue to give the Royals innings and a player who had the desire to be in Kansas City. Moore said that the club is still looking at upgrading the pitching staff.
Guthrie said that he is very happy to be back with the Royals. The trade for Ervin Santana showed him commitment to winning. While he had interest from other clubs, he sees the ballpark and Kansas City's defense as great fits for his pitching style. Guthrie thanked the Rockies for giving him the chance to re-establish himself after a tough first half of 2012 with Colorado.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A condemned inmate is seeking mercy ahead of his scheduled execution next month for the 1997 death of a woman who was stabbed more than 100 times, then had her hands cut off.
Brett Hartman came within about a week of being executed in 2009 before a federal appeals court allowed him to pursue an innocence claim.
The 38-year-old Hartman got a new execution date last year, then won a reprieve when the governor postponed it because of a federal court case over the state's execution policy.
Hartman's attorneys told the Ohio Parole Board Wednesday that some evidence at the scene had not been tested and could show that someone else committed the crime.
The board has denied two prior requests for mercy, citing the "overwhelming evidence" of Hartman's guilt.
He is scheduled for execution on Tuesday, Nov. 13.

Friendly City to Show Off Vacant Properties
Developers can set own price if they have a plan
May 4, 2013
WHEELING — It won't be your typical real estate showcase, but those interested in acquiring property at bargain-basement prices from the city of Wheeling can inspect several vacant buildings up for......
People invest in commercial real estate to rent to business and expect a reasonable return on investment.
With a dwindling population, a BIG SUPPLY of vacant Real Estate and no DEMAND, the first law of Economics says Whee-ling real estate is a FAIL from an investment standpoint.

I know of another city that is giving away property-Detroit.
Since much of the recent crime in Wheeling has been perpetrated by the scum from other cities, I would suggest that Wheeling refrain from opening its' arms to HUD, Section 8, homeless shelters, soup kitchens, welfare wards, any type of social welfare or public housing and anything with "diversity" in the mission statement or entity name.
When you welcome garbage, you get rats and disease. If Wheeling wants to save itself, it should first get rid of the scum and then start cleaning up the town, physically.
THEN, dump the B&O tax, which is punitive in nature. Get rid of personal property taxes on every little thing (including your car) statewide. Do away with excess levies. Push for tort reform and right to work.
Until you do these things, Wheeling will become a mini-Detroit, complete with Mercedes Benz driving thugs who don't have jobs.

Mynderstanding of "SHOW OFF" means to show something worth while and to be proud of. Very poor wording.

Better than following a lying freak who claimed he was going to cut the deficit in HALF while actually adding more than $6 Trillion in debt in barely 4 years.
Sounds like you must pretty dumb to believe an economic terrorist like that, blunderlie.

The City will need to offer financing as well to attract takers.Most likely the structures will be demolished along with the WP building,Kaufmans,and others.Downtown is DOA now.

a huge error was made not allowing a revamp of JUSA at the Capitol as proposed.A Nashville -like music industry could have evolved around the new show:creating a need for the buildings and a robust tourism flow.

The 43-square-mile blaze at the western end of the Santa Monica Mountains was 56 percent surrounded.
The humidity level rose so much that an overnight effort to burn away fuel at one section of the fire did not work well

The most recent "study" did suggest developing Downtown around a C&W anchor at the Capitol;in a Branson-like way.The study was excellent;but ignored.This actually could have worked;especially in conjunction with the Casino. The non profits and City rejected the JUSA private proposal which required City sponsorship/endorsement: but no public funds.This was a "threat" to the non profit's control of Downtown.But take a look at what has happened with them in charge!!

Sorry but the current lowlife crowd that is taking over Wheeling is not too concerned with pulling themselves up by their bootstraps. They are either dealing in illegal substances and/or collecting welfare or mooching off naïve females who are mad at Daddy.
If lowlifes bring prosperity, why does Detroit make Beruit look like Beverly Hills?

atoddh - give it up JUSA is now at the Casino. City and Capitol operators do not want it at the Capitol.

Country: You make my point.A huge error was made. A renewed iconic JUSA- properly financed and executed-at the Capitol could have saved Downtown.The music theme study was excellent;yet ignored.
The hockey team is failing.So is the Capitol now.The City venues will be in trouble in the next couple of years with lack of attractions but increasing expenses.
Meanwhile the Casino is having trouble also.
The Casino may be for sale, I understand, if tables are removed in July as anticipated.It needs to be "reinvented" soon to survive.PA,OH and MNTG are moving in on them from all directions.
Tourism Downtown is looking really sad.

There was potential with JUSA -properly done-for all sorts of related business:recording,music publishing,promotion,artist development etc.Wheeling's Downtown could have been "Music City" of the mid Atlantic.The makings were all there and 10 million in Federal loans to make it happen.The City said"NO." Now the City is desolate.Property can not be given away now.Demolition is presented as "growth."

Dear All,
I am very happy using zimbra, now on our production server using 8.0.0.GA.5434.UBUNTU12.64 UBUNTU12_64 FOSS edition with Ubuntu 12.04 server. I will explain the situation:
We have real domain: example.com
We have local domain: example.local
example user real domain: firstname.lastname@example.com
example user local domain: email@example.com
We pull all email on example.com using fetchmail, everything goes work fine, example:
fetchmail pull emailbox firstname.lastname@example.com and distribute to email@example.com.
My question is:
when email@example.com send mail from (outlook, zimbra webmail) to example: firstname.lastname@example.com, the header to: read as email@example.com not firstname.lastname@example.com.
How to config situation like that on zimbra?
before using zimbra i use postfix + mysql, with configuration like this:
recipient_canonical_maps = use for routing email from local user, so local user can send email each other
sender_canonical_maps = use to return email address to the origin address at the time of the reply.
contain /etc/postfix/recipient_canonical :
firstname.lastname@example.com email@example.com
contain /etc/postfix/sender_canonical:
@example.local @example.com
and then i postmap that canonical, and restart the postfix, and
when user: firstname.lastname@example.com send mail to firstname.lastname@example.com, the header To: read as firstname.lastname@example.com, so email@example.com can send/reply to firstname.lastname@example.com, and then fetcmail pull mailbox email@example.com and distribute to email@example.com.
I appreciate to all zimbra users who have situation like this to give a clue or answer, how make this in zimbra.
Many thanks for the information and support.

|Child care class set in Yuma
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
For those who enjoy caring for children, there is an opportunity to make a good income by becoming a licensed family child care provider. Licensed family child care providers set their own rates, work their own schedule and even decide the number and ages of children they wish to care for.
There is a constant demand for more family child care homes throughout northeast Colorado. In fact, licensed family child care homes are where the majority of working families find care for their children. The requirements for becoming a licensed family child care provider are reasonable and the costs, in some areas, can be covered by a mini-grant.

KENNESAW, Ga. -- Kennesaw State soccer Head Coach Rob King announced the signing of six student-athletes to National Letters of Intent, as well as the addition of a pair of transfers, in the 2013 signing period on Thursday.
The 2013 class includes forwards Shannon Driscoll (Woodstock, Ga./River Ridge HS) and Maggie Gaughan (Marietta, Ga./Hillgrove HS), midfielders Suzanne Arafa (Acworth, Ga./Allatoona HS) and Monica Herrera (Acworth, Ga./Harrison HS), flank midfielder/forward Cassidy Kemp (LaGrange, Ga./LaGrange HS) and goalkeeper Olivia Sturdivant(Sanford, N.C./Lee County HS).
Along with the six signees, KSU adds a pair of Southeastern Conference transfers, defenders Elizabeth Johnson (Marietta, Ga./Georgia) and Brittany Reed (Kennesaw, Ga./Florida), who are set to join the Owls in the 2013 spring semester.
"We are very pleased with this class," said King. "This is a class that we have put together for a couple of years and I am thrilled with the group. It is a collection of very good athletes, but then also blended with some very technical players with a high soccer IQ. I am delighted with this group. It is very exciting."
The six incoming freshmen will join the Owls starting in the fall of 2013.
"I am thrilled with the group," added King. "I think it is a very strong group. We expect this new group, along with those that are in the program now that working hard and tweaking things here to have an awful lot of success in the years going forward."
A three-year varsity letterwinner at River Ridge High School, Driscoll has tallied 64 goals while leading her team to the state championship each of her first three years of high school, including a regional championship in 2011. The Woodstock, Ga., is a two-time RRHS Most Offensive Player of the Year and Captain's Award winner and earned Cherokee County All-County Team accolades following her sophomore and junior seasons. A Bobbie Bailey Award for Athletic Excellence honoree, Driscoll played club soccer with the Southern Soccer Academy and Cobb FC.
Gaughan received the Most Offensive Player award following her first three seasons at Hillgrove High School. She has scored 58 goals and totaled 23 assists through her junior year, leading her team to the Elite Eight during her sophomore campaign. The Marietta, Ga., native owns 13 game-winning goals and five game-winning assists in her high school career. A member of the Southern Soccer Academy and Cobb FC premier teams, she was a part of the 2012 State Cup Championship squad.
Coach King on Driscoll and Gaughan:
"These two are both athletic forwards. They are big, strong and fast. They can play with their back to goal and hold the ball up, but they are also a threat in behind and they can finish as well. They are very versatile and can play as central forwards in that position, but can also play wide because they have the pace to take players on. They are both very hardworking and I expect a lot from both of them immediately."
Herrera, a four-year varsity member and two-time team captain, helped lead Harrison High School to the 2011 5A State Championship and the Birmingham Lakeshore Shootout Championship during her sophomore season, while also earning all-tournament team honors for the Birmingham Lakeshore Shootout. With Herrera's help, Harrison has also notched back-to-back region championships in 2011 and 2012. The Acworth, Ga., native has played club soccer for NASA and has won numerous tournament championships, including the 2011 and 2012 Atlanta Cup and the 2009 State Cup.
A gifted midfielder from nearby Acworth, Ga., Arafa led Allatoona High School to its first state playoff appearance as a freshman, while also being named All-County Second-Team. She followed that up with Most Valuable Player honors while leading Allatooona to the final four of the state championship during her sophomore campaign, and winning the school's first soccer state championship as a junior. Currently Arafa holds the school's record for career goals and assists, with 70 goals and 68 assists for a total of 208 points in her three years at Allatoona. Arafa has played club soccer for the North Atlanta Soccer Association and Concorde Fire Soccer Club, as well as four years with the Georgia Olympic Development Program team.
Coach King on Herrera and Arafa:
"Monica and Suzanne are local players that we have had the chance to watch for many years and are strong players. Both have very good soccer IQ. They think the game well, the read the game well and they are very technical players. They have played on good teams and use the ball well. Monica can also play as a forward, but both of them have similar abilities in their use of the ball and their technical ability of being able to play with both feet, great touch and good distribution."
Kemp, a four-year letterwinner for LaGrange high school, broke high school record for most goals scored in a single season after posting 46 goals during her YEAR season. She is a two-time MVP for LaGrange and played club soccer for the Cobb County Lady Chiefs, participating in tournament such as the Disney Cup, the State Cup and the Score Tournament.
Coach King on Kemp:
"Cassidy is a true, sort-of 'take on,' winger-type player. She is very quick, has good feet, crosses the ball well and is the sort of player that goes at defenders all the time. She is not the type of player you like to mark because she is very quick and fast as well. She is a threat in behind, but she also moves very well with the ball at her feet."
A three-time all-academic and all-region selection at Lee County high school, Sturdivant also earned all-conference second-teams honors following her freshman season, as well as all-conference first-team accolades during her junior year. Sturdivant has played club soccer with the Lee County Lightning and the Triangle United Soccer Association, where she led her team to various tournament championships, including the 2013 state championship.
Coach King on Sturdivant:
"Olivia is a very good goalkeeper. She is a tall, strong, mobile keeper that communicates well and has soft hands. We expect her to be a big contributor to the program and somebody that can potentially come in straight away and start for us."
While at Florida Reed did not appear in a match, but was a part of a team that advanced to the NCAA Round of 16. While at Venice High School in Kennesaw,Ga., Reed was on ESPN's Class of 2012 Defenders to Watch list and led Venice to the state championship in 2011 and a state finalist finish in 2009. She was a member of the ODP 2010 Region III team, as well as the IMG Soccer Academy club team, where she was named the 2011-12 IMG Soccer Academy Player of the Year. Reed was selected to attend the U.S. Youth Soccer national ODP camp in February of 2010 and the ODP National Championships in March of 2010.
Coach King on Reed:
"Brittany is a very strong player on the ball. She is quick, aggressive and good in the tackle. She reads the game well and has good pace and distribution. She can play as a central defender or she can play as a right back. As a right back she is a big threat going forward with her pace, strength and crossing ability."
Johnson played in 13 matches for Georgia during the fall 2012 season. As a Bulldog, she registered two shots, including one on goal, in 174 minutes of action. Prior to her freshman season, Johnson was a four-year varsity starter and four-time all-region performer at Fellowship Christian High School. While in high school, Johnson led FCS to a state finalist finish in 2012 and advanced to the state final four in 2011, while also taking home MVP honors following the 2011 season. A member of the Georgia ODP team and the North Atlanta Soccer Association, she was named an ESPN top 150 prospect. With NASA, she claimed two state titles in 2008 and 2010 and was a three-time state finalist, while also taking third place in the national championship tournament in 2011 and was national league champions in 2010.
Coach King on Johnson:
"Elizabeth is more of a central defender or holding midfielder. She uses the ball very well and is very composed on the ball. They [Johnson and Reed] are the type of players that we like to have on our team. They are not going to panic under pressure. They are used to playing in big games and are they are settling in very nicely."

Losing my change.
This coin purse, while super cute, has caused me to lose money. The past few times I've reached for it to fetch change for my purchases, coins have gone flying everywhere. Sometimes I'll bother to pick them up, but sometimes, it's just too embarrassing. (I hate holding up the line.) It's a little bigger than I had expected, also. Overall, if you can get used to shaking it a little so the coins settle to the bottom before unzipping, feel free to buy it. I just wouldn't recommend it.

-- Brooks County, Ga. -- March 13, 2013 --
The fourth annual Agriculture Day was held at Brooks County High School. Fifth graders from the two local elemmentary schools got the chance to meet a horse doctor and dairy farmer as she milked a cow. They also got the chance to see goats, chickens and meet other farmers. The goal is to raise awareness about the agriculture industry in Brooks County.
Many of the students were caught off gaurd by the day's events. Especially the milking of the cow.
Kamari Wilson is a student at Quitman Elementary. She said
"it was kind of scary because out of the blue it just be mooing and it scared me but it was interesting how they milked the cow. I didn't know they used milking machines instead of hands because it takes less time to use milking machines."
On average a dairy cow can produce 6 gallons of milk in a single day.

Sioux City Tailgate a Repeat Hit
SIOUX CITY, Iowa – Siouxland Iowa State fans turned out in big numbers for the second straight year as Sioux City hosted the Cyclone Tailgate Tour Tuesday at the Long Lines Arena Building. More than 700 fans flocked to the tent that hosted the day's festivities.
"This year's crowd was even bigger than last year's and that was a big crowd," Iowa State athletics special events director Ryan McGuire said. "The weather was great and we really appreciate the participation by Cyclone fans."
ISU women's basketball coach Bill Fennelly noted that area prep star Kelsey Bolte from Ida Grove made a huge contribution to the Cyclones' 2007-08 season that included advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
"We really appreciate the support of you fans who have to come from several hours away to support our program," Fennelly said.
Cyclone head men's basketball coach Greg McDermott, who at one time coached at nearby Wayne State (Nebraska), told the crowd that the season couldn't start too soon.
"Ten of our 13 returning players will be freshmen or sophomores next season," McDermott said. "We are working hard to put a good team on the floor for you next winter."
Iowa State athletics director Jamie Pollard, who was the driving force in establishing a Tailgate Tour, invited all children to come forward to the head table.
"These little Cyclones are the future of our athletics program," Pollard said. "You parents are very important to us but your children are even more important because these young ones are the next generation of ISU students, athletes and fans.
Head football coach Gene Chizik said seven incoming Cyclone football freshmen have already arrived on campus.
"By tomorrow, we will have 21 of 25 freshmen in Ames working to make a contribution this fall," Chizik said.
The tour started its day at the June E. Nylen Cancer Center in Sioux City. Pollard, Chizik, McDermott, Fennelly and head wrestling coach Cael Sanderson and additional ISU coaches and staff talked to people who use the outpatient facility.
The center offers advanced outpatient cancer care to persons in the tri-state area of Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota. Patients utilize radiation therapy, chemotherapy and support services that are helping individuals enjoy longer, healthier lives.
The tour ends Wednesday inn Omaha, Neb. at Oak View Mall with a final stop that will last from 5 p.m.-7:30 p.m.

Students not admitted as entering freshmen will be admitted upon receipt of their UHP applications after they have earned an overall GPA of 3.3 at The University of Alabama. Transfer students with grade point averages of 3.3 on courses transferred to the University are automatically admitted upon receipt of their UHP applications.
University Honors Program students are required to earn at least 18 hours of non-pass/fail honors credit, including at least 6 hours in non-pass/fail University Honors (UH) courses at the 100, 200, or 300 level (PHL 202 Honors Introductory Ethics counts as UH hours). Participants must maintain an overall GPA of at least 3.3 for their work at The University of Alabama and must complete the University Honors Program's course requirements at the approved rate to remain members in good standing of the program. Students may undertake an honors thesis for 3 to 6 hours of credit, which will count toward the 18-hour requirement but which will not count toward the requirement of 6 hours in UH courses. UHP students normally take one or two honors courses a semester, not a full schedule of them. The evaluation of work done in honors courses neither penalizes nor unduly rewards students for undertaking the honors curriculum. Most UHP students perform better in honors classes, because they find them interesting and challenging.
UH classes top out at 15 students and departmental honors classes, often enriched editions of regular offerings, have limited enrollment in order to maximize interaction between students and faculty. UH teachers are first-rate and departments regularly assign their best teachers to honors sections, seeking to encourage honors students to major or minor in their disciplines. Honors courses stress the development of critical, analytical, and interpretive skills. Importantly, UHP members have the highest registration priority. Entering freshmen have their own orientation session before the regular ones begin and matriculated honors students enter registration first each semester. In addition to all the honors course notations, UHP participation will be noted on transcripts, and those honors students completing a thesis will have that noted too. Honors students will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of social and intellectual events and activities designed especially for them.
The University Honors Program is located in Temple Tutwiler Hall. The facility includes administrative offices, a living room, a student lounge, and three seminar rooms where UH courses are taught. A small library of graduate and professional school catalogs, guides to graduate study, and brochures on scholarships and fellowships is also available. National daily newspapers, magazines, and other publications are available for students who are looking for a place to relax and make productive use of their time during the day.
University Honors Program Housing is available to honors students and is located in New Hall. This living-learning facility is an important ingredient in the establishment and maintenance of a strong honors community, for it provides the place where honors students hold social and extracurricular intellectual activities and engage in mutual support. The honors residence hall is coeducational. Honors students interested in living in honors housing should contact the Office of Residential Life; (205) 348-6676.
The Honors Program Student Association conducts a number of interesting events throughout the year and is involved in several philanthropic projects in the Tuscaloosa area. Student members have attended both national and regional conferences sponsored by the National Collegiate Honors Council and the Southern Regional Honors Council, and have participated in all areas of campus life. The Honors Program Student Association plays an important part in developing and maintaining support for academic excellence on campus.
The Jo Nell Usrey Stephens Honors Scholarship, the Barrett C. and Tolly Gilmer Shelton Honors Scholarship, and the Alton C. and Cecile C. Craig Endowed Honors Program Scholarship are available to three entering freshman students who are members of the University Honors Program and who are receiving no scholarships from the University. The McWane Foundation Endowed Scholarship and McWane Foundation Endowed Research Scholarship are available to UHP students who are participating in research or studying abroad, and the McKinley Student Excellence Awards are awarded to students who excel academically after enrolling at UA but who are receiving no other financial assistance (except loans and work-study). The scholarships are renewable if the students maintain GPAs of 3.3 or higher and continue to participate in the University Honors Program.
For more information, contact the University Honors Program, The University of Alabama, 111 Temple Tutwiler Hall, Box 870169, Tuscaloosa, AL 35487-0169; (205) 348-5500; http://uhp.ua.edu.

Do It Yourself Fender Modifications - Easy DIY Fender ModsWritten by on October 23, 2012 Widen Those Inner Fenders
When I set out to build my truck I really didn't know how or what it would take to accomplish my goals. I started off by drafting a plan not on paper, but in my head, so that things would somehow magically start putting themselves together. Well you and I both know that does not happen, but what I did realize was if I didn't start somewhere I wouldn't start at all. Try and fail, but never fail to try is a quote I like to stand by when doing anything in life. I guess my point is how do you know you can or can't do it until you try?
I admit sheetmetal work is not the easiest thing for me to do, but with practice and time my skills have improved. So when I was up against the challenge of making my rear fenders fit in my new bed floor I asked for help and suggestions, which came pouring in from the guys at Deuces Wild and Coachcraft.
If you didn't read last month's CLASSIC TRUCKS then let me explain. I used a steel bed floor from LMC Trucks in my '59 Apache. Now I need to make my stock fenders fit, but also add clearance for the larger wheels and tires. I widened the inner fenders with the help from a MIG or TIG welder, cut-off wheel, hammer and dolly, jigsaw and some cold rolled steel.
I purchased a half sheet of 14-gauge cold rolled steel for the base of the fender and 2-inch-by-8-foot 16-gauge cold rolled flat stock to widen the stock fender. So with some direction and a basic idea of what I wanted to accomplish I started by diving headfirst and just going for it. Turned out the job of widening the stock fenders was easier than I thought.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
I used some tape, a permanent marker, and a square to evenly mark around the base of the fender. Make sure to use a flat surface or the line could be off.A cut-off wheel or buzz saw can be used to cut the fender. I personally like to use the buzz saw because I can get a straight line and not inhale cut-off wheel dust.The next step was to cut the fender down the middle. I used green tape to align one end to the other.Now that the fender is cut down the center I made sure that it was cut straight and removed or filed down the uneven spots.Here I cleaned the paint on the fender on the outside and inside, so that the paint would not wreak havoc on the welds.I used a 2-inch 16-gauge strip of cold rolled sheetmetal to widen the fender. Make sure to use the same size material as the fender so that it will be easier to hammer and dolly.To start I used a MIG welder to tack the 2-inch strip to the fender. I asked Anthony Stoessel from Coachcraft Autobody and Paint in Fillmore, California, on the best way to weld in the strip. He said that it is impossible to weld it in perfect and that I should try to make the 2-inch strip the low spot and the stock fenders the high spot. This way the 2-inch strips could be hammered and dollied to match the stock fenders and minimum filler material used.
I switched to a TIG welder so that I would not have to grind all the MIG welds off. TIG welds lay much flatter and I could control the heat with a TIG welder better.Now we are getting somewhere. I test fit the fender to see how it looked and made sure the tire would clear the new opening.Anthony came over from Coachcraft to lend me a hand with the bodywork. Something I could use a lot of help with. Using a hammer and dolly Anthony made the fender contoured so that minimal filler could be used.Notice the gap between the straight edge and the fender. A good rule is to not use more than a 1⁄8-inch layer of filler.Right after Anthony grinds down the TIG welds he uses the hammer and dolly while the metal was still hot.I found that using good protection like a mask and gloves makes me work faster and longer. A jigsaw was used to cut out the shape for the fender base.
I slipped the 14-gauge steel over the fender and held it up with 1/4 plate so that I could spot-weld the fender in.The fender base was then cut down so that it sat just outside the wheel opening. Make sure to align the fender well so that the wheel is in the center.Don't forget to look on the underside of the fender. In my case I have 2 inches or so of extra clearance. I left enough room to add wider tires.The fenders were then drilled and bolted down to the bed floor in four spots. I may use bolts to hold the center of the fenders to the bed, but simply ran out of bolts…darn.

ReproCell negotiated worldwide rights to commercialize a human-induced plurpotent stem cell (hIPSC)-derived hepatocyte drug-screening technology developed by the firm in collaboration with Japan's National Institute of Biomedical Innovation.
The organizations have been working together since the beginning of the year to establish an in vitro screening platform for hepatic toxicity and liver metabolism that uses hIPSC-derived hepatocytes. ReproCell says the collaboration has led to the development of hepatocytes that express primary liver-cell levels of active metabolizing enzymes. The firm is currently evaluating the system in partnership with pharmaceutical companies and expects to launch the platform commercially during Q2 2012.
"We are pleased to see hIPSC-derived hepatocytes showing the highest level of quality ever seen, expressing the same qualities as that of primary human hepatocytes currently used by the pharmaceutical industry, including drug metabolizing enzyme activity," comments Chikafumi Yokoyama, Ph.D., ReproCell CEO.
ReproCell specializes in the development of reagents for embryonic stem and iPS cell research and development, along with drug screening and toxicity testing using iPSC-derived cardiomyocyte and neural cells, primary cell development for drug screening, and assay services. The firm, in addition, offers flow cytometry services and ex vivo expansion of hematopoietic stem cells.

Wow Jficks, this is excellent work! I really like how you've laid everything out. Have some rep.
So I finally started experimenting with cities in Campaign Cartographer 3 and this is what I came up with. It's sort of a modified John Speed style with a few recustomized buildings from Overland Perspectives to fill out the city. Oh, and it's set against parchment like my world map.
Jile is a seedy, swamp town from my book series. It's a hide for people of questionable reputation. It's an old city and is kind of sinking into the swamps, but criminals thrive here. It's located in the middle of the Ice Marshes so many of the buildings, walls and even old city blocks are being reclaimed by the swamps.
It's hard for me to separate lore from my mapping, so the map has some lore on it from my world. I plan on using this picture in a blog, so I welcome any feedback you may offer. I know I'm not the best map-maker out there so any tips from the experts on how I might improve the map style, what works, doesn't work, etc., etc., would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Wow Jficks, this is excellent work! I really like how you've laid everything out. Have some rep.
Looking good there for the most part, but you do have an "it's" for "its" error in the town description (8th line).
This CC3 style is very hard to master. You have made a very nice map with it. Well done!
That is a nice map, never tinkered with that style myself but you pulled it off pretty well!
Upon the Creation of the World the First Dragons cast their seed in the light of a Sun and a Thousand Suns, beneath the Moon and a Thousand Moons, on a World and a Thousand Worlds.
Thanks everyone! Think I'll give my ultra epic city a shot with this style next, the only problem is I also have to figure out how to make a side view. Rdanhenry, thanks for the heads up on the typo, I fixed it for the blog.
The blog can be found here:

Very nice effect, though I'm bit confused what the blobs around the edges are meant to signify... Swamps? Hills? Open water?
The style is very impressive. I'm looking forward to that epic city map you mentioned.
Very nice ... but why is the text at the bottom shadowed?
It seems to be the only thing that casts a shadow.
I particularly liked your overall 'composition' layout.

Thanks everyone. Sorry I've been a bit slow to respond, I've been deployed at my day job and I'm working storm hours right now, which is about 70-100 hours a week.
Robulous, the blobs are meant to be water since Jile is in the middle of the Ice Marshes. That's the water style that comes with the style pack, though maybe I could make it look more icy somehow?
Atpollard, I shadowed the text to make the text look a little stronger, though I suppose it makes the style inconsistent now that you bring it up.
Grangarian, glad you're looking forward to the epic city. It's a bit intimidating because I also need a side view, so I'll use your encouragement to get me amped for the project. Yes, I know this is a 3D mapping style already, but you'll understand when you see it. I'm very excited about this idea. Anyway, I probably said too much already. Now to get to work!

The Super Eagles goalkeeper says the decision by the referee to award a penalty against his side during their draw on Friday was an aberrationNigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama has attacked the decision by referee Grisha Ghead to award a penalty as the Super Eagles were denied a win in their second Group C game against defending champions Zambiaon Friday.
Emmanuel Emenike scored on 55 minutes before the Egyptian referee awarded a penalty to the Chipolopolo which was converted by goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene.
"It was a bizarre call for a penalty. It was one of the worst calls I've seen in the history of football," Enyeama said during a post-match press conference.
"It doesn't belong to football if we want to develop the football of Africa. We don't [want to] see such calls for a game of such magnitude – Nigeria, Zambia, defending champions.
"I don't know what's really happening about the officiating. I'm really mad about it.
"The last game we got a point-blank penalty but were not given [it]. The call [against Zambia] is one of the worst calls I've seen in [my] life."
Nigeria, who have two points so far in this year's Afcon, will next take on Ethiopia on Tuesday.

The process of exfoliating is essential for healthy skin. SkinCeuticals Exfoliators are designed to remove dead skin cells, smoothing the skin's surface and revealing a more radiant complexion. SkinCeuticals Exfoliators should be used regularly as part of a weekly skin care regimen. While regular cleansing will achieve the goal of removing impurities, dirt and excess oil, SkinCeuticals Exfoliators are necessary to prevent a build up of dead cells. SkinCeuticals Exfoliators can be added to any SkinCeuticals regimen and can help other regular products perform better by allowing active ingredients to penetrate the layers of skin in order to carry out their tasks.
When dead cells accumulate, various problems can follow such as dullness, prominent appearance of wrinkles and acne breakouts. SkinCeuticals Exfoliators, in addition to smoothing the complexion, encourage a healthy turnover of skin cells. This in turn leads to a diminished appearance of lines as well as an increase in skin tone and firmness.
Keeping the skin free of dead skin cells is an important step for both the face and body. SkinCeuticals Exfoliators resurface the skin gently while minimizing irritation and dryness. SkinCeuticals Exfoliators are practical products that can easily be incorporated into a daily skin care regimen.
SkinCeuticals Retexturing Activator is a unique serum that exfoliates while also hydrating. The combination of exfoliators and hydrators leaves the skin's surface amazingly soft and smooth. This is an oil free formula that can be used on oily skin types but is also very helpful for skin that is dry or dehydrated. The serum resurfaces the skin to diminish the appearance of lines, wrinkles and discoloration. Dull skin is slowly restored to a more radiant complexion. SkinCeuticals Retexturing Activator boosts the skin's defenses and actually improves the skin's natural moisture barrier which is required for optimal health. This is a gentle treatment product that does not irritate or aggravate existing skin issues.
Exfoliation should be performed on the body as well as the face. SkinCeuticals Body Polish is a rich scrub developed just for the body. It contains natural extracts and algae combined with rounded beads to buff away dead skin cells and nourish healthy cells. The exfoliation process is gentle so as not to tear the skin.

From his appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show to his roster of celebrity clients to his reality television series, Cesar Millan is America's most sought-after dog-behavior expert. But Cesar is not a trainer in the traditional sense; his expertise lies in his unique ability to comprehend dog psychology. Tracing his own amazing journey from a clay-walled farm in Mexico to the celebrity palaces of Los Angeles, Cesar recounts how he learned what makes dogs tick. In Cesar;s Way, he shares this wisdom, laying the groundwork for you to have stronger, more satisfying relationships with your canine companions.
Cesar's formula for a contented and balanced dog seems impossibly simple: exercise, discipline, and affection, in that order. Taking readers through the basics of dog psychology and behavior, Cesar shares the inside details of some of his most fascinating cases, using them to illustrate how common behavior issues develop and, more important, how they can be corrected.
Whether you're having issues with your dog or just want to make a good bond even stronger, this audiobook will give you a deeper appreciation of how your dog sees the world, and it will help make your relationship with your beloved pet a richer and more rewarding one.

"This Really Works!"
If you only buy one book ever about your dog, make it this one! While his book will not explain how to teach your dog commands (sit, stay, come) it will teach you how to get your dog to operate in the human world, be easy to live with and most importantly, keep you from ending up in a lawsuit. This book is revolutionary, an absolutely essential read for the dog owner. It shows you how to keep your dog in line - no more annoying, destructive and sometimes dangerous behaviors such as obsessiveness about food and toys, acting dominant and aggressive towards other dogs, biting, barking, whining, etc. No other book on dog training teaches this.
I read several books before this one trying to figure out how to get my puppy to behave. She knows basic commands and several tricks, but I found it didn't keep her from chasing people and animals down the road, barking at every noise and jumping up on people. Nothing I read taught me that. After reading this book, however, and using its principles, my puppy has changed dramatically and quickly.
We give our dogs, love and affection and usually that's it! Just like with people (children especially) you can't love your dog into behaving. Exercise and discipline need to come first. Exercise to release their pent up energy and discipline in the form of rules and boundaries, not to be confused with punishment. Then comes the love and affection. This is what leads to a balanced, stable and healthy dog, one that doesn't rule your life.
Keep an open mind while reading this book, as with anything that really works, it may contradict many things that you have heard or read about dog training. It explains the psychology behind dog behavior and how we can teach a dog to adapt to our world, which is much different than theirs. It will change your life and make you and your dog much happier!
After having invested thousands of dollars in training assistance, obedience experts, dog psychologist, and well meant advice of many friends Cesar's techniques have finally brought a new happiness to our small pack of six dogs.
He just makes sense. When we think of our dogs as loved dog companions and treat them as such, rather than little people in our home, our life and theirs have become much more enjoyable.
Cesar's way has worked very well for use especially with one of our dogs that had an aggression issue. If you've reached a point where you don't know what to do - do what Cesar says!
"If only I'd read it earlier..."
As the owner of two Shelties who just turned a year old, I wish my wife and I had listened to this book a long time ago. Though we've tried to do everything right, it now seems that we've (okay, I've) done just about everything wrong. This is a great book to listen to BEFORE you bring that puppy home. Now, having said that, we are applying Cesar's lessons to our two dogs with great results. It's just a shame we're having to unlearn them of all the bad things before getting the full benefit of Cesar's ways.
"Great Read for Open Minded"
This is a great book for people who are interested in having a well behaved and much loved pet. It is not the conventional dog training book, and if you want his approach to work, you must be opened minded, you must believe in yourself, your dog, and your ability to have a dog that is well behaved.
Having loved and owned dogs for years, I have accidently employed some of his ideas, like excersise. My dogs alwasys listen better after a 5 mile run. And if you don't have the time in the day to run 5 miles with your dogs, then he gives you other ideas on how to excersise your dog.
I loved his approach and I am using it on my two dogs, but, like anything else, it is not a quick fix, you must be willing to do the homework.
This book is not for someone who is looking to "fix" their dog, that won't happen, he can fix you and your behavior toward your dog, and that will fix any other problems you might be having.
For dog lovers only!!
"Everything I expected"
I'm rarely not disappointed when I have expectations so saying this book was everything I expected is a big compliment from me.
Not the best part of the book, but I found myself looking up information on the Diane Wipple dog mauling case after hearing about it from this book.
I was also struck by the references intermixed in the story. I really liked that the authors reference other dog authors.
Mayer's voice is great for audio reading. It is a little weird to have a Cesar quote read without an Hispanic accent, but it is read very well and the voice is easy to listen to.
I've been trying to think of my dog's perception of the world much more. He's a smart dog and figures things out pretty quickly and I find it interesting to think about how he interprets his surroundings.
"Worth an Audible Credit"
I enjoyed this book. Cesar has great insight into the lives of our four-legged friends, but it's a little long and his only advice is to walk your dog twice a day. If you're trying to train your dog, this isn't the book for you. But if you want to know why your dog acts the way it does, then get this book.
"Not much more than TV show"
If you've seen the TV show, the book doesn't add much and has too much repetition of Cesar's basic approach. If you haven't seen the show, Cesar's way is well explained and the examples are fascinating insights into dog/human behavior. You and your dog will benefit, although it will take some work on everyone's part, at least enough to justify reading this book.
"Great Book for people thinking of getting a dog"
good stories, along with practical knowledge
Great story teller, kept you interested
Cesar's story about how Jada Smith helped him out, get stuff.
"Cesar's Way"
Good read. I loved it & learned a lot about our dogs. Cesar's Way is was so handy. It made me look at the things that I was doing wrong with our dogs. I changed my actions right away & the dogs followed my lead me right away. They really wanted an Alpha in their lives. They are better behaved now. They sit & wait for their food now. Thanks for the help with our dogs. Very Educational.
I'm pretty much awesome!
"A Self Help Book For You AND Your Dog"
Cesar's words inspire you to be calm and assertive in every aspect of your life, not just when working with dogs. Starting from his childhood in Mexico, he tells his story how he came to be the man he is today and thanks all the kind people who helped him along the way. Not only does this allow you to get to know Cesar on a new level, but it lets you know that kindness does still exist in our world. This was an excellent book. That being said, it could use a different narrator. I had a hard time getting into the story due to the narrator's monotone, boring way of reading the book. However, once I got a few chapters in, the story had me hooked and I was able to finish it.
