Alright folks, I think its no secret where I stand on this topic, but it would be interesting to hear from the Fanatics. I wrote a few articles on CN a few weeks ago about the possibility of Iowa State making the jump from ACHA to NCAA in Hockey and what it would take to make it happen.
Now lets talk hypothetically for a second, because there are obvious road blocks that will be tough to hurdle, but thats what we are working on right now. How do the folks here think about that? Would you want to see Iowa State make the jump? Would you go to the games? Would it be good for the school?
Just to get things going:
The Pros:
-College hockey has almost never failed at any university it has been implemented at the division 1 level. It has almost never lost money and most certainly would not here.
-Iowa has become the center of amateur hockey in the United States with the USHL teams in DM, CR. The best players in junior hockey are right here in the state. The kids who play on those teams are auditioning for colleges, wouldn't it be nice to keep them here?
-The Iowa Stars are beginning to find their place in Des Moines in pro hockey's AHL and Youth Hockey in Iowa is growing at a rapid pace. Adding a college team is a surefire success.
-You ask anyone in the college hockey community if they think Iowa State should make the jump and they'll tell you its long overdue and its finally time. With the great tradition the current program has, they are ready for more.
-Makes Iowa State unique to the rest of the Big IX.
-Adds another moneymaking sport to a school with decent success in sports. Hockey would be able to start anew with no past tradition of heartbreaking losses and disappointing seasons. The possibilities are endless.
-They would need a Facility, or perhaps play in Des Moines at Wells Fargo. Rennovation of Ames/ISU Ice Arena could be an option as well.
-Title IX-makes it difficult to start more sports at ISU.
Those aside, this wouldn't happen for several years, but as ISU continues to grow in athletics and expand despite declining enrollment this could be a shot in the arm in both areas. It is almost certain that ISU would be able to put together a team that would be able to compete immediately and give us a program to be proud of among some great successes of Football, Basketball, and Wrestling. While hockey would never be as big as any of those other sports here, it would be something new and something exciting.
So what do you think? All comments are greatly appreciated! Thanks.
I'd love to see it happen and succeed. If we added a women's hockey team, would that clear the Title IX hurdle for it?
I'm sold. I would have loved for us to have had an NCAA team while I was there!

Division IA hockey requires an on-campus stadium that seats at least 2500 people. Because of ISU's student population, i don't believe they'd be able to play at a level below IA. I don't know where the money would come from to put together a 2500 seat stadium, or where it would go for that matter. You're probably looking at 10 million dollars at least.
Plus, no more selling beer at the games (I don't know if they do that anymore, but they did when i went to ISU hockey games).
From a Title 9 position, there's an easy answer. Include women's hockey as well.
I used to write press releases for ISU Hockey Head Coach, Al Murdoch. A friend's son attend his ISU Hockey camp every year. Murdoch, has been involved with ISU Hockey for 35 years and he, and his son, would be able to recruit some great Hockey talent immediately. ISU DI Hockey would be good in 2-3 years. Would love to see ISU at the Frozen Four in the future.
Strongly agree on including women's hockey to satisfy Title 9 requirements.
didn't they play hockey in hilton a couple times? that would meet the 2500 for the short term - when is the college hockey season? would it interfere quite a bit with mens & womens basketball and wrestling?
It will be interesting to see what kind of support they get when they play at WF in DSM at the end of the month. If you can hear crickets, I'd say a step up would be a tough battle.
If they get a good showing - that's a different story.
It will also depend on how basketball is doing to some extent. If basketball is rocking, fans may forget about the hockey team that year. In down years, I'd expect hockey to get more attention. That is of course, if the hockey team continues to perform well.
I'm all for ISU taking steps to take any program to the next level. Lets hope under Pollard and his staff - in 5-10 years - all of the sports can say they're better at that point than when Pollard came to Ames. :)

You hit the nail on the head. I don't know if any of you have seen the campus lately, but as of this year, campus is full. There's basically no land left to build on. There are only two major plots of land still open- the field in between Design and Howe (currently the marching band field) and the spot south of Towers (former IM fields). The band field is already committed- that's where the new Ag Engineering complex is going to go in a few years. That means the marching band is going to get moved, and the only logical place is the Towers field. We've already been told that when we get moved, we will get better facilities and permanent fixtures, so I bet that takes the Towers field out of the running.
Aside from that, there are only three other places where they might even be able to fit an arena. One is in what is currently a huge (and mostly unused) parking lot directly east of Towers. Another is in the Southwest Athletic Complex. (If they put it there, it would really be squeezed in, and that whole complex would have to be paved and upgraded, unless they get rid of the baseball diamond and move it to the proposed Gateway complex on Elwood and Lincoln.) The last (and most far-fetched) place it could go would be next to the soccer stadium, on part of the land currently occupied by the CyRide facility. I know for a fact that CyRide has totally outgrown that building and doesn't have enough room to expand to fit their needs on that site, so they are in the planning stages of building a brand new station north of campus. When that happens, I presume that their old land will be available.
I don't know how plausible any of those ideas are. I think the parking lot is the most feasible, but JP won't put it there by itself because it doesn't make any sense to have one athletic facility standing alone. It's a poor use of space. I could see him building an arena in the Southwest or Gateway complexes, but not until he's ready to bring back the baseball program.
If we think we can do a solid job recruiting and playing well at the NCAA D-I level, then I would love to have a collegiate team at Iowa State. But considering the department's financial situation and the campus' land situation, I'm going to keep enjoying having a highly successful club team.

I also remember a game with Kansas when Cy (wore a huge suit then) went out to center field, squatted, and "pooped" a couple of chickens that had been dyed blue then chased them around.

They did used to play Hockey in Hilton in the early 80's. Johnny Orr put a stop to it because they put the basketball floor on top of the ice and the barrier wasn't that great and wood floor got a little cold.
I hope it doesn't take too long to get DI Hockey started at ISU if the decision is made to do it.
Women's hockey is pretty huge here in east-central Wisconsin high schools. The girls play hard and are quite competitive. ISU could easily field a women's hockey squad by just recruiting in WI and MN.
I haven't been in the new ice arena, how many does that hold? couldn't it be expanded. As I remember the hockey team was kickin *** and taking names in my day, and had been for quite some time.

I swear on your mother they played at least one game in the late 90's in Hilton ...
or maybe its the crack...
Division IA hockey requires an on-campus stadium
I am not for sure but I don't know how accurate that statement is because UNO plays D1 hockey and they play their home games at the Quest Center
Excellent conversation so far folks. Just to answer a few questions:
The Cyclones did play at Hilton and really used to pack the place. I do believe they played there once in the 90s. But in 1975 that was their home ice, I'm not sure when that stopped. However, in our initial conversations, JP isn't willing to add a seventh sport to Hilton's already jam packed schedule. I don't blame him.
The minimum stadium capacity in the NCAA is 2000 for D1 Hockey. Although many are building 5000 min. seating. Where does the money come from? The private donors who are already waiting for the green light to make it happen.
Where would it be? Well the Ames/ISU Ice Arena is on University/City owned property and room was left in case they would need to add on at some point. The current capacity is 1000...1500 roughly stretching it a lot. It is in no way shape or form ready for that level of hockey. It is not required that the arena is on campus. But it is better to have one close by.
As far as the team's upcoming game at Wells Fargo. I suggest anyone who can to try and make it to see what it looks like in that kind of stadium. But to be honest...we don't have the marketing power (financially) to really get the word out in MASSES. So if you can...Jan 27th Wells Fargo - We play Oklahoma University the #3 team in the nation. (we are #6). It is going to be outstanding. Check out www.cyclonehockey.com for new details as they become available.
Thanks. Keep up the great conversation!
Is there any way something can get in the DMR about this double-header with Oklahoma that weekend? The evening news?
What about mentioning it at the next couple home basketball/wrestling games?
All of those should be free advertising I would think. Perhaps some or all are already in the works. :)

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - After 17 years of championships, friendships, teamwork, and playing for the love of the game, the TranSouth Athletic Conference is going silent.
The end comes after nearly two decades of great athletic competition, friendly rivalries, life-long friendships created, and memories that will forever be remembered by student-athletes, coaches, fans, alumni, and administrators. In the TranSouth, competition truly expressed a love of sport. The effort always focused on teamwork, representing the name on your jersey, and seeking championships.
The TranSouth Athletic Conference (TSAC) was founded in 1996 and began play as an official NAIA conference during the 1996-1997. The conference lived out its name with member schools comprised from six different southern States; Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Arkansas.
ORLANDO, Fla. - The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) recently announced the 28 winners of the Under Armour AD of the Year Award (ADOY). Freed-Hardeman Athletic Director Mike McCutchen was among those honored with the award.
The award spans seven divisions (NCAA FBS, FCS; Division I-AAA, II, III, NAIA/Other Four-Year Institutions and Junior College/Community Colleges). Winners received their awards during the James J. Corbett Awards Luncheon on Saturday, June 15 at NACDA's 48th Annual Convention at the World Center Marriott Resort in Orlando, Florida.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Martin Methodist Athletic Director Jeff Bain has been named the 2013 TranSouth Athletic Conference Athletic Director of the Year by the TranSouth Athletic Conference, the league announced this morning.
The award, which is selected and voted on by the conference athletic directors, marks the fifth time that Bain has received the honor. After winning the league's inaugural award in 2000, Bain was also chosen for the honor in 2001, 2007, and in 2009.
NASHVILLE - Mid-Continent University sports information director Tim Shay has been voted the 2013 TranSouth Athletic Conference SID of the Year.
Over the last year Tim has worked as the SID at Mid-Continent University while also contributing to the TSAC, the NAIA, the NCCAA Mid-East Region, CoSIDA, and the NCCAA.
Trevecca Nazarene University and TranSouth Sports Information Director Gregory Ruff said, "Tim was invaluable to the conference this year. He did so many things that are not listed, but he just did them because they had to be done. I am proud of him and for him receiving recognition from his peers."
Shay has served as the broadcaster for all six of the Cougar sports as well as several games at the NCCAA Baseball Mid-East Regional. With the TranSouth he has served as the conference SID for men's soccer and baseball. He assisted with the baseball and softball NAIA Unaffiliated Group Tournaments. He began the year by coordinating the annual TranSouth SID Meetings. For the NAIA he served as the conference voter for the National Player of the Week in all sports. With CoSIDA he was the coordinator for the District 4 Capital One Academic All-District Awards in women's soccer and softball in D-lll and College Divisions. With the NCCAA and the Mid-East regional, he served as the baseball chairperson and tournament coordinator.
Shay said, "It is truly humbling to know that the hard work that has gone into a season has not gone unnoticed. I am grateful to the TranSouth and to everyone from whom I have had the chance to learn over the past several years in the Conference. I have been truly blessed to work with such a tremendous group of men and women in my time in the TranSouth, both at Trevecca and at Mid-Continent."
"We are proud of Tim Shay and his selection as the 2013 TranSouth SID of the Year," said Mid-Continent athletic director Kevin Imhoff. "Tim has a tremendous work ethic and incredible knowledge and love for all sports. You may not know this but he is certified to ref/umpire basketball, volleyball, baseball and softball. We are privileged and honored to have Tim in our athletic program here. If there was a Sports Fan Hall of Fame we would submit his nomination."
Tim began his career as a four-year student assistant in the sports information office at Trevecca. He also assisted in a number of broadcasts over his time at Trevecca. He later served as Trevecca Nazarene University first graduate assistant in the sports information office. Following Trevecca he worked at Lee University as the assistant sports information director. At the NAIA level he has assisted in broadcasting and sports information at a number of championships including the softball and women's basketball championships.
Charlie Smith, the commissioner of the TranSouth added, "All of the Sports Information Directors in the TranSouth do an outstanding job. It is with honor to announce that Tim Shay as the SID of the Year. Tim does an excellent job in covering the sports at Mid-Continent and the TranSouth Athletic Conference. He is always willing to go the extra mile in whatever task he is undertaking."
Shay just completed his second season at MCU where he launched live streaming of games and a social media presence.
In 2003 he enrolled at Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville, Tenn. where he quickly joined the student assistants program in the office of sports information. In 2005, he became the first undergraduate student in TranSouth Athletic Conference history to hold the position of a conference sport SID, holding the volleyball SID position during his junior and senior years. After graduating as an undergrad in 2007 with a BS in Mass Communications, he returned to Trevecca as the first graduate assistant in sports information in May of 2008. In the summer of 2009, Shay left Trevecca to join the staff at Lee University in Cleveland, Tenn., spending one season with the Flames.
He spent his first two seasons as the official scorer for Trevecca's baseball team, earning the role of official scorer during the 2005 TranSouth and NAIA Region XI baseball tournaments. He later became the official scorer for the 2008 TranSouth Baseball tournament - which was held at USA Stadium in Millington, Tenn. He was a part of the team of statisticians for the 2008-09 TSSAA Division II basketball tournament, as well as the 2007-08 and 2008-09 Atlantic Sun Conference basketball tournaments at Lipscomb University. Shay served as one of a team of statisticians during the 2009 NAIA Women's Soccer and 2010 NAIA Softball National Tournaments.
As a broadcaster, Shay has over 550 games of experience in eight sports at the high school, collegiate, and semi-professional levels. He began his career behind the mic as the color commentator for the Trevecca women's basketball team during the 2004-05 season, transitioning into the play-by-play role for the 2005-06 year. In the fall of 2005, Shay also picked up play-by-play duties for the Lawrence County (Tenn.) High School football and basketball teams, where he called four seasons on the gridiron and three on the hardwood. Upon returning to Trevecca in 2008, Shay launched internet broadcasts of the Trojans' soccer and baseball teams for the 2008-09 season, and he also handled play-by-play duties for the semi-professional Franklin Knights of the World Basketball Association during the summer of 2010.
In addition to all of his duties in the last year at Mid-Continent Tim and his wife, Kaylynn, welcomed a newborn child, Alan, into their lives. Shay is a graduate of Trevecca Nazarene University and attended high school in Columbia, Tenn. at Christian Heritage Academy

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Martin Methodist College has earned the TranSouth Athletic Conference All-Sports Trophy for the 2012-13 season. It is the 13th trophy presented by the conference and the first time for the RedHawks to take home the conference prize.
Martin Methodist claimed or shared two conference titles that counted in the trophy contest in the 2012-13 season - Men's Soccer and Men's Basketball. The RedHawks also won the women's tennis and women's soccer titles, but those sports didn't meet the required participants to be included.

The campus community gathers for Chapel during the fall and spring semesters on Thursday mornings 11 a.m. to noon. Occasional gatherings are also scheduled on Wednesdays or Fridays.
The chapel experience is designed for the adoration of God, the exposition of His word, the inspiration and edification of the worshipper, and the exposure to the campus community of significant ministries and resources.
Many Chapel events and programs are primarily student focused and student led. This fits well with our mission in shaping Christian leaders for the churches of tomorrow. Chapel, therefore, becomes an important laboratory to exercise skill and ministry gifts. This student focus in weekly worship gatherings reflects generational trends, diverse expressions of reverence, new technologies and a variety of cultural traditions.
Chapel also brings to the campus community an intentional exposure to quality models of pastor/teacher leaders and speakers from the western states and the nation- undergirding the commitment of Golden Gate to the local church and church planting.

WASHINGTON DC (WUSA) - This year brought about many contradictory studies on the benefits of early detection for breast cancer. So knowing your personal cancer risk can help you and your doctor decide when you should start getting mammograms and if you should do self breast exams.
Claudia Gilmore is 24-years-old and didn't just want to survive breast cancer, she wanted to pre-vive a cancer diagnosis. Because her grandmother and father carried the breast cancer gene mutation, she knew her risk was high so she had a prophylactic mastectomy.
"I just can't believe it, I did it. I reduced my risk by 90% it was such a surreal moment," Claudia says.
On the other hand Debbie Fornwalt had no family history and thought her personal risk was average so she had annual mammograms. She found a cancerous lump through a breast self exam.
Debbie says, "They say look for a marble or a lump mine actually felt like a piece of clothesline rope it was about this long and about this wide."
Doing a breast self exam helped Debbie find her cancer at an early stage. But in 2011, women continue to get mixed messages, seemingly on a daily basis; about when and how often to have screening mammograms and if breast self exams were even worthwhile.
Dutch researchers concluded that regular mammograms can cut a woman's risk of dying in half. But another study from Canada says asymptomatic women should avoid routine screening until after age 50 and then only every 2 to 3 years. That same study said women shouldn't bother doing breast self exams or routine clinical exams. Women between 50 to 69 with an average risk and women aged 70 to 74 their timetable for routine screening with mammography can be every two to three years. Some critics say the guidelines could cost women their lives.
Cancer specialist Dr. Sara Sukumar, of the Kimmel Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins finds fault with the directive on self breast exams.
"I do believe that breast self exams should be a part of a woman's routine because she knows her body best," Dr. Sukumar says.
But Dr. Sukumar does agree with the reasoning behind the mammography recommendations under very specific conditions.
"For those women who are at high risk family history of breast cancer, they've discovered BRCA 1and 2 in the family, the guidelines need to be quite different. But for the public at large, 2 to 3 years should be quite sufficient to discover new breast cancers," Dr. Sukumar says.
Before making any decision on how or when to screen, every woman should resolve in 2012 to learn her own individual risk for breast cancer. Make that appointment now to have a serious discussion with your primary care doctor or gynecologist.

Comments about ... Turtle Squirt (12 Count):
I needed party favors for a turtle party. There are not alot options for turtles. I paid approximately 67 cents each (12 for 7.99) which I thought was a little high when I ordered them, but I needed something. The paint was smeared on many of them. Some of the faces were completely missed during the painting process. It might sound silly, but if I paid a quarter for them, I would not have been as dissappointed with the imperfections. I would not buy these again.
Comments about ... Turtle Squirt (12 Count):
This was a great product with a great price. We used these as part if a game for the ninja turtle part we had where the kids had to fish the turtles out of the mutagen and the each had numbers on them so the child would then get the corresponding numbered bag. Believe it or not, this is the only place that I could find a whole bag of turtles like this!

I just traded my Leupold Olympic 10x50 binos for Vortex 8x42HD binos with SWFA and am looking at getting another bigger set of binos and upgrading my Leupold 15-45 Sequoia spotter.
After my muley hunt this fall looking through the guide's 15x Leica and Swaro binoculars I'm looking at getting a set for myself. I've been considering the Kaibab, Swaro, and Minox 15x glass but really liked the weight and size of the Vipers. Anyone tried them or compared them to the other brands? I don't expect them to compete with Swaro at that price, but if they are pretty decent I can upgrade spotters and binos for the same money as Vortex Kaibab binos. Low light performance is my biggest concern.
The other thing I'm looking at is my hunting partner is getting a 20-60x80 Vortex Razor HD scope, and we hunt together most of the time. Would I be better off getting top end 15x binos instead of upgrading my own spotter since we mostly glass together?

Looks good
Nice work!
Bada$$. That's the same one you texted me right? When are they going to be in production?
Very nice!!!
pretty cool work shirts...I'd wear one!
I like it, most construction company shirts are more plain like just the basic logo. I think those shirts will make you guys stick out with style.I really like the hunting design

Sweet design IKC! They are alot better than the work shirts I have had to wear.
Thanx I like to be out of the box with our work gear. We are the only Co. In Reno that has real custom hats and shirts. Everyone else is plain and boring!

Where We StartedAs many of you may recall, we started an inquiry about microlots back in the Winter of 2011 when we spoke with 13 farmers from the Cenfrocafe in Peru about their experiences. While we learned a lot, one of the major challenges with this study was that none of the producers interviewed had repeat success as microlot producers. The common sentiment that microlot premiums were a result of luck was understandable but did not point – from a quality perspective – to how we could encourage other producers with concrete suggestions. And, we knew that producers with repeat microlot premiums exist in other areas where we purchased.
Phase IIWhile we felt we received valuable feedback from our partners in Peru, we were still looking for more streamlined feedback for producers. Ideally we would have more quantitative metrics in regard to farm and investment practices – as well as greater proof of the positive impacts of microlots. So, with this in mind we hatched a plan with one of our exporting partners, Virmax, in the fall of 2012. As a purveyor of microlot coffees who have built their business model on high-quality, differentiated small lots, they had many of the same questions we did about the repeatability and common characteristics of microlot producers. This time, because of Virmax's long-established, data-rich microlot program in Colombia, we decided to focus our inquiry there. What made this group different as well was that all producers interviewed were previous recipients of the microlot premium.
Together, we designed the survey instrument (going through about seven iterations) and helped train promotores (technicians) who would be going into the field to interview producers. From January – February of 2013 surveys were administered, and, at the end of February, Kim Elena visited some of the producers interviewed, as well, to gain more of an understanding.
AnalysisThe spring found us realizing just how much data we were now sitting on with 122 coffee producers interviewed. Though starting to sift through the data was fascinating, neither one of us had the time or the full expertise to do the analysis required for a study of this scale. So, thanks to a mutually serendipitous meeting, we were able to partner with Ruth Ann Church, a woman who is both a coffee buyer – who also buys from Virmax – and who is currently working on her Master's Degree in Community Sustainability, to assist in the analysis and reporting part of the project. Ruth Ann and I recently did a live webcast moderated by Kim that talked about the research process and further research questions that you can check out anytime.
Similar to the first phase of research, much of what we heard about good practices was no surprise. However, the data did begin to point to what microlot producers may have in common with one another, both in their farm practices and in their use of the extra income from the premium.
In particular, the data showed the group of farmers that had 3 microlot years in a row as opposed to 1 or 2 microlot premium years were more likely to fertilize based on soil analysis, use family members for coffee picking, prune intentionally, plant the Colombia variety, and use three specific drying practices (sliding roof, parabolic patio with beds, and patios with net floors). In addition, they are more likely to invest the premium back into on-farm costs, such as fertilizer, than in family needs.
While the data points to some interesting results, there is still more to understand. In particular, understanding exactly which practices are strongly correlated with – not just happening alongside external factors we may not have controlled. An example here is that yes, those who sold microlots 3 years in a row seem to plant more Colombia variety when they are renovating. However, we also know as an aside that Colombia variety does not necessarily result in flavors that we would reward for quality. Thus, we will continue to refine, to filter results through what we know, experience and continue to expect. And, hopefully get still closer to sharing pertinent feedback with producing partners.
The open-ended questions allowed us to get at the experiential side, and we were pleased to continue to understand producers' motivations, challenges, and higher level perceived community impacts of the microlot premiums. I'm Colombia now sharing the results and hoping to gain still more analysis based on producers' reactions to the research.
What's NextI don't think either one of us could have imagined that when we embarked on this "microlot question" in 2011 we would be here now – with a lot more information and still more questions. Ideally, what we have put forth over the last two years encourages others within the coffee industry to ask the questions they have always wanted to ask, to find answers that will ultimately be of benefit to those throughout the supply chain. We are also more than happy to be available for others who have questions about the process, about how to create their own mini-research project, or about our findings in general.

Bill Keveney, USA TODAY
It looks like more musical chairs for the spinning-chairs coaches on The Voice.
Christina Aguilera will be returning for Season 5 of NBC's hit singing competition, a source with knowledge of the situation not authorized to comment publicly has confirmed to USA TODAY.
No details are available on who Aguilera will replace on the show when it returns in the fall.
Aguilera and CeeLo Green, who were coaches on the first three seasons of The Voice, took a break this cycle to pursue their various musical projects. Shakira and Usher took their red chairs. The Wrap, which first reported Aguilera's return, also reports that Green is nearing a deal to return for Season 5.
Adam Levine and Blake Shelton have been coaches on all four seasons of The Voice.
When Aguilera and Green announced their departures, executive producer Mark Burnett said they would be welcomed back to the show when they wanted to return.

We have a small office and do IT consulting work... I've been limping the exchange server along, kind of like the mechanics car that never runs ? I know exchange pretty well, as does Management but, after another issue with it this week, I was given the go ahead to migrate us to Zimbra.
I completed it on Friday evening and all is good except for HTML rendering in emails sometimes.... but I'm download 5.0.6 as I type this to fix that issue
I ended up using exmerge to spit out all the mailboxes (only about 15GB) to PST files, then imported them one at a time. Since my ass is kind of on the line for recommending Zimbra I had every intention of manually verifying each mailbox at least for a minute or two
Everything went very smoothly, except when Outlook 2003 didnt completely close in the background and the next pst I imported ended up being from the previous MAPI profile... not too big of a deal since I noticed it right away and just redid that mailbox.
I have to say, I'm very impressed with Zimbra so far, I have been keeping tabs on the product for about 9 months now. I appreciate all the work you guys put into it, good job ;-)
One thing I haven't seen addressed so far, assuming this goes well in the coming weeks, I'm going to recommend we upgrade to the Professional Edition.... is that a fairly easy migration (hopefully upgrade) from the open source version?

Fresno, CA (Sports Network) - Mountain West Conference play gets underway
tonight in the Golden State, as the Fresno State Bulldogs entertain the 16th-
ranked San Diego State Aztecs at the Save Mart Center.
Taking on teams from inside the state boundaries has been a specialty of the
Aztecs lately, with the team posting 31 straight victories over opponents from
California which is easily the longest streak among Division I programs. Last
week, the team continued that domination as it took out Cal State Bakersfield
at home in a 72-57 final.
A favorite to capture the MWC title again this year, the Aztecs are the two-
time defending conference champions as they begin league play here in 2012-13.
As for the Bulldogs, they just recently snapped a four-game slide with an
89-64 romp over Sonoma State on Dec. 30. With that latest victory FSU is one
game under .500 as it begins play in a new league after coming over from the
Western Athletic Conference. From a defensive standpoint, FSU has held all but
one of 13 opponents this season to less than 70 points.
The relationship between these two teams dates back to 1940, with the Aztecs
holding a 54-48 advantage according to their records. San Diego State has won
four straight between the former WAC combatants, claiming a 62-58 victory in
November of 2009.
Matching their second-best start to a season during their Division I history,
the Aztecs took care of business versus Cal State Bakersfield a week ago as
Jamaal Franklin put together a double-double consisting of 18 points and 12
rebounds, adding four assists and two blocked shots in order to offset his
five turnovers. Chase Tapley dropped in another 14 points as the team held the
Roadrunners to just 37.5 percent shooting from the floor and outscored the
visitors by a 27-6 margin at the free-throw line. Franklin, who missed one
game earlier in the campaign, has been a fixture at the charity stripe for
SDSU already with 79-of-101 shooting, which is rather impressive given that
all of the team's opponents combined are just 113-of-185 at the stripe over 14
games. Franklin leads the team in both scoring (17.2 ppg) and rebounding (9.9
rpg) and is also first with 46 assists, so you can forgive him for shooting
only 24.5 percent behind the 3-point line to some degree.
Fresno State scored the first points of the game against Sonoma State and
never looked back, leading by as many as 25 points in the waning moments as
the hosts shot 54.5 percent from the floor and an even more impressive 55.0
percent (11-of-20) beyond the arc. However, the Bulldogs still had their
issues elsewhere as they converted just 18-of-31 at the charity stripe and
turned the ball over 16 times. Tyler Johnson scored a game-high 25 points,
adding eight rebounds and four assists, followed by Marvelle Harris with 20
points off the bench and Kevin Olekaibe with 15 and four of the unit's 13
steals as they forced 21 turnovers themselves. Olekaibe, one of the nation's
top scoring guards last season with 17.8 ppg as he let fly from all over the
floor, has limited his shot selections greatly in 2012-13 and has but five
double-digit scoring games thus far. He has shown some signs of life recently
with three straight double-digit efforts, but still he is posting only 8.5
ppg. Taking the lead in the scoring department this time around is Tyler
Johnson with 10.8 ppg.

|In Defense of My People: Alonso S. Perales and the Development of Mexican American Public Intellectuals
|Data for the press: My projects for the immediate future. I intent to dedicate myself to exercising my profession in the lower valley of the Rio Grande and have my law offices established in McAllen and Rio Grande City by July 15 of the current year at the latest. I also intend to sustain some conferences pro-race in time not distant, at the same time take the preliminary steps for the formation, in the Valley first and then in other populations of Texas, of a strong entity of American citizens of Mexican origin whose exclusive objective would be sincerely labor in pro of the improvement of the intellectual, economic, social and political of the Mexican Americans in general. The success of said organization will essentially depend on the type of leaders that will lead them. Therefore, these leaders will have to reunite the following qualities: they must be honorable, active, brave and intelligent. They must be honorable so that they will not fool or exploit our unhappy race in Texas; they must be active so that our general progress will be fast; they must be brave so that they will not fear asking for justice when their rights as citizens in the united states of America have been violated; and they must be intelligent so that better govern our destinations as citizens and as a race. I have the firm conviction that our race counts in Texas with a great number of leaders that unite those qualities and the day is not far in which the organization of the Mexican Americans will be a fact; and, given that this organization will be founded over a solid base, their pro-race activities in Texas will be crowned for a complete success.

Good morning,
Yes, it was quite a day for us yesterday, but all got taken care of even with the driving ban and all stores closed. Today we have to clean our driveway here, which we for good reasons couldn't do yesterday. We only managed to get a small path done, so DH could get out, and when he got back, he spent 45 minutes to dig himself back into the driveway. The town plows had been by, and you know, what that means. That was all he could muster last night.
The sun is out and everything looks so pretty this morning. Still only 18 degrees here though, but no wind. Skiing sounds fun. Lots of nice snow. Snowmobiling not so much. For me at least. Have been witness to a couple of really bad accidents using snow mobiles. Be careful, Kar.
tt, you are now far ahead of me on our book. Glad to hear it is getting better. Read a bit last night, but dosed off. Saw she has written a new book. "Sisterhood". Could it be a sequel to this one?
Hope you all have power. How is the South Shore, ss and Icer? Have a good day everyone.

Predicting and Understanding the 2012 Election
David Rothschild, Microsoft Research New York City
For over 75 years forecasting of elections has been static; ask a random sample of representative group of voters who they would vote for if the election were held today and report the poll result. First, I demonstrate that the same samples could be addressed with other questions to produce a more accurate standard forecast (i.e., binary winner and/or expected vote share). Second, I challenge the standard forecast; what most stakeholders really want and need are more innovative forecasts like probability of victory or even probability distributions. Third, I show how both standard and innovative forecasts can be made more efficient with the new methods that utilize more cost effective non-representative samples and, in time, passively generated social media data. Fourth, I show how Microsoft is going to be a leader in this new innovation. Finally, I will tell you who is going to win the election.
David Rothschild is an economist at Microsoft Research in New York City. He has a Ph.D. in applied economics from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. He has written extensively, in both the academic and popular press, on polling, prediction markets, and predictions of upcoming events; most of his popular work has focused on predicting elections and an economist take on public policy. He has academic papers that cover the following interest areas: political economy, behavior economics/public opinion, public economics/public policy, industrial organization, and experimental economics. After joining Microsoft in May he has been busy building prediction and sentiment models, and organizing novel/experimental polling and prediction games.

Seems like this will be goodbye for Jeff. We hardly knew ye!
Patriots running back Jeff Demps recently suggested on a radio interview that his track career -- not his NFL career -- is his top priority at this time.
When asked what he would say to Patriots coach Bill Belichick if Belichick asked Demps how he can handle the obligations of two sports, he replied, "Listen coach, I want to do both, but in order for me to get to where I want to be on the track and field side, it'll take a full year of preparation. And after the season, if you guys are willing to let me come back, you know, probably midseason, and work out and train and get ready for the season, I'll be able to do that. If not, then I guess I'll just focus on running." (CLICK HERE to hear the interview.)
In a follow-up question, Demps was asked to clarify that his plan would be to return to the Patriots in the middle of the 2013 season because of his track schedule.
"Midseason," he reiterated. "I'll probably miss three, four, maybe five games."
The 23-year-old, who spent his rookie season on injured reserve, was asked if he feared his football career might not get off the ground because of the multiple obligations.
"No, not really," he said. "If I'm not able to do football anymore, it's kind of like I'm just opening up another chapter of my life, and it's on the track and field side. Like I said, I'll be a rookie in the game, and I still have a lot to learn, even though I did it for four years in college and throughout high school. I still haven't seen or ran with any other big-name guys or the top guys in the world. I'm looking forward to it, I'm definitely looking forward to it."
Demps is expected to compete for a spot as the Patriots' primary kick returner this offseason along with veteran Leon Washington, who recently was signed by the team.

The winner will likely face the Big Ten tournament champion Michigan State on Sunday, March 22, with the winner of that game advancing to the Sweet 16 in Phoenix, Arizona.
This is Saint Louis University's first tournament appearance since 2000 and the first at-large bid since 1998. Friday's game will mark the Billiken's seventh appearance in the NCAA tournament.

A class action lawsuit has been brought against Square Enix of America alleging unfair business practices, false advertising and unjust enrichment with regard to their long running MMORPG Final Fantasy XI.
In the suit, lead plaintiff Esther Leong of San Francisco claims that Square Enix deceived more than 100,000 customers about the game's monthly fees, penalties and restrictions. The suit seeks damages of $5 million. The nasty business which Leong charges that Square Enix engaged in includes:
- Licensing of online game software disguised as a sale
- Monthly fees to play the game
- Penalties for late payment of fees
- Interest charges for late payment of fees
- Charges while the user's acccount is suspended
- Termination of right to play for late payment of fees
- User restrictions and conditions related to the game
- Termination of game data for late payment of fees
Unfortunately, specific details of how Square Enix allegedly screwed its customers are not specified in the complaint. 1UP points out that the FFXI website lists a $12.95 monthly fee to play

ATLANTA, Ga. -- By the time Anna Bullard got a good piece of news, that the autism insurance bill would get a hearing, it was too late. The hearing is set for next week and will not help the bill this session.
MORE | Continuing coverage of the Autism Gap: The fight for Insurance
It's hard to believe the beginning was just three and a half short weeks ago when House Bill 309 was introduced in the house, bright and new and shiny -- but already forces were united against it -- many insurance lobbyists and conservative lawmakers. But help would come from across the hall ten days later, with Senate Bill 191, the autism insurance bill.
The bill had a lot of supporters, but to survive under the dome, it needed the right supporters.
It's a political reality that bills die all the time, but the bills that live, that move forward, have people who say yes to them. And for this bill there were several key lawmakers who could have said yes, but didn't.
Representative Richard Smith said no. He's the Chairman of the House Insurance Committee, where the bill was sent. He wouldn't give it a hearing. And he announced he was sending it to the Mandate Commission where it wouldn't get out.
Senator Tim Golden is the Chairman of the Senate Insurance Committee. He wouldn't give the bill a hearing, initially. He said yes this week, but the hearing is next week -- too late.
Above them -- Speaker David Ralston runs the house. He could have moved the bill. Supporters begged him to help. He would not intervene.
Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle runs the senate. He could have moved the bill. Supporters begged for his help. He would not intervene.
Despite the yeses from thousands of Georgians, from medical experts, even from many lawmakers at the capitol, just a few no's spelled the end -- for this year.

Nikolay Davydenko earned the biggest title of his career defeating Juan Martin del Potro 6-3, 6-4 to win the year-end Barclays ATP World Tour Final trophy in London, the Russian EVAH to do so.
It was a career week for the 28-year old who was at his workmanlike best gutting out tough matches against this year's major title holders including Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Delpo today. His only loss came in his opening round robin match at the hands of Novak Djokovic. He earned $1,510,000 for his efforts this week and will replace Andy Roddick at No.6 in the rankings.
"I was [looking at the trophy], until 2008, [there are] so many names there, like Djokovic, Federer, everyone, [Pete] Sampras," said Davydenko, who was contesting his fifth straight year-end championship. "In 2009, [it says] Davydenko forever on this trophy. I think it's amazing. [In the] history of the [Finals], for my name to be there is something amazing for me."
Huge props to Kolya - what an incredibly impressive effort for the consistently underrated Russian. Could he - dare I say - pull an "Andre Agassi" and hit hyperdrive in the second half of his career (sans the meth + mullets of course)? Clearly he's a hard worker so if he stays healthy and keeps the motivation it's not completely out of the question.

In a dramatic change in the trial for former Jackson judge James Justin, the four felony charges he was facing were reduced to misdemeanors. Justin pleaded guilty to bring the trial to an abrupt end.
After a day of testimony yesterday, today was to have been for closing arguments. The case then would have gone to a jury.
Justin was facing four felonies for the common law offense of misconduct in office for dismissing parking tickets for his wife and other court staff members.
News 10 reporter Alyssa Fenske is in the courtroom and will have updates later.

Serena Williams hopped onto the post-Aussie Open media tour making stops at Jimmy Kimmel to discuss the win, the fine and the Prince...
...and the Ellen Degeneres Show where she smashed plates. I'm more impressed with Ellen's power moves - nice.
Novak Djokovic + Ana Ivanovic visited the restored Avala TV Tower in Belgrade where they left behind hand prints. The pair also played an exo here 5 years ago won by NaturAna.
I have no idea what they're saying but these two are giving full-on hawtness.
(Edit: So reader Sara wondered whether NaturAna's man hands are bigger than Nole's. Any guesses? I know those bitches are bigger than my mitts but that's not saying much.)

Are Ana's hands bigger than Novak's?ReplyDelete
I turned on the TV randomly yesterday and caught the end of her interview with Ellen and then that night when I couldn't sleep I flipped through the channels to once again run into Serena. It's cool as a tennis fan to see our athletes in mainstream media. I just wish people would let that damn foot fault go.
ROFL she's safe by a smidge me thinks though they're surely bigger than mine. I'm sure most of the WTA has bigger mitts than the girlie ones on these spindly arms. *sad face*ReplyDelete
*Hugs Rich* I'm sure Rafa won't care what size your hands are.ReplyDelete
Can you imagine being slapped by NaturAna? That might be fatal.

Nole: walking hotness <3333ReplyDelete
Serena is the best!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 3, 2010 at 4:04 PM
Nole and Ana are so HOT together, imagine the children they would have! And Nole is very sexy with glasses... awesome hotness these two. What do Serbs eat? lolReplyDelete
Ana and Nole are so adorkable. And yes, they would have very cute children. They would make such a hot couple.ReplyDelete
Here's my offer, Ana and Nole get together and eventually marry, while Adam and Jelena can have each other. That sounds like a good trade off, right?
Oh, and to answer your question, yes Ana's hands are bigger than Nole's. They're "man hands". She could crush some balls with those things.ReplyDelete

Serena ROCKS!ReplyDelete
I just love how her reaction to a heckler is to rise above it and kick ass. It's one of the many things I love about her, her strong mentality on court is unrivaled. You go girl! :D Congratulations on yet another dominate Grand Slam performance. Tying Billie Jean King's GS record of 12 is just astounding.
I wish more credit was given to the ladies on the WTA. We don't hear the end of it when Federer wins a title. But if there's a milestone that has been covered on the WTA? You hear about it for a few days and then....So underrated.

Excellent map Jack, you put a lot of time, effort and talent into it.
This is an encounter map I made for Myrhdraak's Prince of the Undead Conversion (here (wizards.com)). The map is for encounter G16: The Heart of Shadow of the P3 conversion, a sinister underground place in the Shadowfell.
The brief: 'My thinking so far is a cavern with different "platform levels", each one with a blood shadow pool where the "water" runs down the platforms in a number of waterfalls to meet in the central pool at the bottom. Rough staircases have been cut out from the stone platforms to allow access between the platforms. As the players arrive, they will be divided and appear randomly from different pools in the area.' There are living walls, blood pools, different ground levels and stone staircases on the map.
The WIP thread is (here). This map is 40 x 40 squares representing 200 x 200 feet. The map is 4000 x 4000 pixels and 72 ppi, so that's four and a half feet (1.5m) tall and wide. It's the biggest map I've ever attempted and my (relatively decent) computer could barely handle it.
The cliff and rocky overlays are from Dunjinni (DotW Feb. 2005 & dblade 2006).
Excellent map Jack, you put a lot of time, effort and talent into it.

I'm not trying to diminish the problem, just to suggest maybe not all the HD channels are doing this all the time.
I've kinda watched this thread since you started it, but even though it's baseball season, and the number and amount of non-baseball channels that impede upon the 99.9% of time that any game is on (okay, there IS time before 7pm EST in my daily schedule, but it's sure much nicer being on the west coast than the east if you don't want to doze off in the easy chair on those west coast games!!!)....
BUT, dropouts occur on every channel, every minute/hour, every game, on all the systems I own.
HR20-700 - through Slimline5 w/WB616 multiswitch,
TOSLINK to Yamaha RX-V3000
H20-100 - through Slimline5 to SWM8, same audio path as HR20-700
(both top units in 'home theater'), may get replaced by
HR24 at some future date (!)
HR20-100 - same route as H20-100, but HDMI to Samsung HDTV
(no surround sound processor, in bedroom)
HR20-100 - 'portable' Slimline5, direct cable to HR, to Samsung HDTV
HDMI through Panasonic amp
(this system in 5th wheel trailer, only occasional use)
If you listen closely, and especially with live baseball, you'll get 'micro-dropouts' even on the HR20-100 direct HDMI to the HDTV set. I'm sure that most folks would not notice it, but I do. Those 'micro' happenings kick both my large (yes, old) Yamaha (I'm taking a collection to get something with TrueHD/DTS-HD-MA!) as well as the newer little Panasonic surround amp in the trailer to 'skip'.
Right now, I'm watching the TB Rays game on SunSports, who do not have Dolby Digital turned on, and so its flat stereo. Still dropouts. Maybe not as many as, say, NESN or YES, but they're there. Consistently.
It's a system-wide problem. And since it occurs even on those channels that are NOT Dolby Digital, it's something that all channels are routed through, and that includes non-HD and non-Dolby types.
