Golf Programs Ranked In Nation's Top-25
AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State men's and women's golf programs have collectively achieved a historic feat this week, appearing in the nation's top-25 at the same time for the first time in school history. Golfstat ranks the Cyclone women 13th nationally and the Cyclone men at No. 25. In the Golfweek rankings, the ISU women are ranked 16th and the men 30th.
The women are coming off a sixth-place finish at the Windy City Collegiate, a tournament which featured many of the top programs in the nation. The Cyclones opened the season with a third-place finish at the Dick McGuire Invitational.
Pacing the Cyclone women is sophomore Cajsa Persson, who is off to a fabulous start by recording a pair of top-10 finishes to open the season. Persson is ranked 29th nationally in the Golfweek individual rankings after tying ISU's 54-hole scoring mark at the Windy City Collegiate (212). ISU's top-four golfers all have stroke averages below 74.00 through two tournaments.
The Cyclone men appear in the nation's top-25 thanks to the outstanding play of their top four golfers (Scott Fernandez, Sam Daley, Nick Voke, Ruben Sondjaja), who each have at least one top-10 finish in the first three tournaments. True freshmen Voke and Sondjaja have two top-10 finishes to begin their careers, as Voke leads the team with a 71.67 stroke average and is ranked 175th nationally by Golfweek.
Fernandez, a 2013 All-American, has 15 career top-10 showings, including one this season.

Bubble, bubble, match them double……then add a third and pop those bubbles!A rainbow wall of spheres is cascading down the board. Aim a barrage of ballistic bubbles at the descending orbs to match and remove them, until every last colorful cluster is popped!
1.Move your mouse left or right to aim a colored bubble, then click to launch it. Bubbles will bounce off the side of the board, but stick to any other bubble they hit. Make clusters of three same-colored bubbles to pop them!
2.When you remove a cluster of bubbles, any non-matching bubbles attached to the bottom of the cluster will be popped as well. So aim high on the board, if you have a clear shot.
3.New rows of bubbles will be added as you play. Don't let them reach the bottom of the board, or it's Game Over!
Bubble Shooter Tips & Tricks
· Look for large clusters, high on the board, that will remove a large number of "hanging" bubbles below them. Try to aim for these, if possible. If you don't have a clear shot at one, it might be worth trying to match and remove two or three smaller clusters below the big group, before concentrating on other areas of the board.
· Use the "bouncy" edges of the board to your advantage! Rebound a bubble off the edge to maneuver it around and above an inconvenient non-matching group of bubbles.
· If part of the bubble wall is getting too close to the bottom, concentrate on that until you can push it at least five rows up. It's easy to get lost in pursuing a bit cluster, and forget about the danger sneaking relentlessly down a different part of the board!!

Though he lived mostly with his mother, DiCaprio did see his father over the years. In fact, after his father remarried, it was his stepbrother - himself briefly a child actor - who influenced the young DiCaprio to get into the game. He made his first strides in the business by landing an audition for a commercial when he was six years old, then began making the agent rounds, one of whom wanted him to change his name to Lenny Williams.

Football fans are disappointed with the 2011 college football season, according to the latest TallahasseeVoices survey.
TallahasseeVoices is a pro bono internet survey panel sponsored by Kerr & Downs Research. Results are weighted to reflect the demographics of the 90%+ local residents who have access to the Internet at home, work, or school.
The full survey can be found in PowerPoint format above.
TallahasseeVoices Football Predictions
Gators 8 – 4
Seminoles 10 – 2
Rattlers 8 – 3
National Champion – Tie between Alabama & Oklahoma
Florida State will finish #5
17% of fans think FSU will be #1 at the end of the season.
Florida will finish #13
Fans Disappointed
- Gator, Seminole & Rattler fans are all disappointed as customer satisfaction is simply the difference between expectations & performance.
Fans expected:
- Gators will finish with 6 or 7 wins
- Seminoles will finish with 7 or 8 wins
- Rattlers finished 8 - 3
Fans disappointed
- 5th in the nation & the Gators would finish #13.
• Neither school is even close to those rankings.
• The Rattlers missed the fans' prediction by only 1 victory, while the Gators, if they beat FSU, will miss fans' prediction by only 1 win.
• A loss to the Gators will leave the Seminoles 3 wins short of fans' expectations.

In most cases the G-SPEED auto detects the speed of the fiber channel connection, however sometimes it does not, causing the volume not to mount.
Solution: Make sure you have the latest driver for your Fibre Channel HBA. We reccomend ATTO Celerity Host Bus Adapters.
1) Download the latest ATTO Drivers here:
2) Hard set the Fibre Channel speed of the G-SPEED to match your HBA's speed. (If you are using an ATTO Celerity 4x HBA, set the
G-SPEED's Fibre Channel port speed to 4Gb) To do this, access the
G-SPEED GUI via your browser and click on the "Fiber Channel Config" link on the left NAV Bar. Set the speed of Port 0 to 4Gb using the drop down menu. (G-SPEED is setup to use port 0 by default)
Also, in ATTO's Configuration Tool make sure that the data rate speed and the connection mode is set to Arbitrated Loop so that the settings match that of your G-Speeds GUI's Fiber Channel Config page.
For more information on using the G-SPEED GUI consult the product manual.

The California Hot Rod Reunion With Don PrudhommeWritten by Elana Scherr on March 4, 2013 Contributors: Hot Rod Archives Hangin' with the Snake - Roddin' @ Random
Meeting famous racers is cool. Getting to interview them is even cooler. Getting to spend a day hanging out with them at a historic racetrack? Well, that's absolutely subzero. We recently had a chance to spend a day with Top Fuel driver, multitime NHRA champion, and team owner Don "The Snake" Prudhomme at the NHRA California Hot Rod Reunion held at Auto Club Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield, California. Prudhomme was promoting the upcoming Snake and Mongoose movie (see SnakeandMongooseMovie.com) and graciously let us tag along while he talked tuning with former crew chief Roland Leong, mused on the future of nostalgia racing, and reminisced about the joys and dangers of the early days. Read the story, then hit the video page on HOTROD.com to see more of our day with the Snake.
On the Bakersfield Track
Prudhomme got his first major Top Fuel victory in 1962 on the Bakersfield quarter-mile, and when asked if he felt a special kinship to the track, he said, "Bakersfield is an important track to a lot of us; used to be called the Smokers Fuel and Gas Championship. In the early '60s, late '50s, this track was one of the few that ran nitromethane, so cars would come from all over the country to run here, and once the guys discovered nitro, they didn't want to run anything else. We ran our Army car and Hot Wheels cars here. Winning here put us on the map. Bakersfield was the first big place to run 'em. This is where it all started."
On Money
"What happens is—and I'm one of the guys who screwed the whole deal up, you know, I'm one of the guys who went out and got sponsorship money and started building better engines and better superchargers and then the next guy's gonna do this and that and pretty soon it costs you over a million dollars to run the car—nowadays maybe over $4 million, but that's professional competition. It's kinda the beauty of the sport, because you can think better and build a better part and the rules are so vague, racers can get around all the rules. You know, they say, 'You can only have a fuel pump flow so many gallons per minute' and these guys get on a flow bench and say, 'Yeah, but if we put a bigger fuel line here and do this and that…' They got a $100,000 flow bench. They got blower dynos to get the very best blower they can. A blower dyno is $250,000. I had one. I know."
On the Fun of Nostalgia Racing
The NHRA Heritage racing series is really taking off. It's not yet like the '60s, when 100 fuel cars would crowd the pits, but there were several dozen vintage-style racers in attendance. We suggested that the popularity of the event was because the racing was more fun, but Prudhomme didn't agree. "You know racing, even at the nostalgia level, you watch some of the guys at the starting line, and they're very, very disappointed [when they don't win]. It's a lot, a lot of work, and when the car's not running well, you go home with that. They might say, it's not a big deal, but it is a big deal and it works on you and works on you. Nostalgia or in the big leagues, you have sponsors. NHRA Top Fuel, you got million-dollar bills to pay. It's way more involved than just going down that quarter-mile."
On the Future of Nostalgia Racing
"You come out here and you see a couple of tractor trailer rigs pull in the pits, all professional and you know, I love Dale Worsham and Jim Head and Chad Head and all those guys, but they have the best money can buy, they got the talent guys, and will they screw it up? Probably. Yeah, they probably will, but I think that's part of it. That's what happens. Don't know how to fix it. Happens in F1, in NASCAR. The only way you can fix it is to have a breakout rule; You go too fast, you're not in, but that's kind of a chickens**t, cheesy thing to do."
On Old Rivalries
The California Hot Rod Reunion features Nostalgia Funny Cars in many familiar paint schemes of the '60s and '70s. An earlier Ford version of Raymond Beadle's Blue Max Funny Car beat Prudhomme at Indy in '75 (above), and Snake is slow to forgive. We teased him in the pits as a later version of the car—a Plymouth Arrow (far left)—rolled by, asking, "Does it still make you grit your teeth?" "Of course! Every time you got your ass whupped, you got mad. Raymond and I, we're buddies now. Back then, racing the Blue Max and whatnot; say you had a bad run and a disagreement at one track. When you go to race a guy they're going to try to screw you every way possible and you them—fight over who is going to stage first. Say you're slow to start, they'll say you did it on purpose to burn them down. You can't do that now. Back then it was like the Old West."
On the NHRA
"I think more than anything I was surprised that drag racing lasted this long. When it first started out it was like, who in the heck can afford to keep doing this? But then NHRA got formed and started putting money up. Throughout the whole history of NHRA they were always number one. IHRA and AHRA were excellent too, though, because they would book you to run. In the old days, that's how you made a living, barnstorming around the country. NHRA, they wouldn't pay you to race so we'd do one or two NHRA races and then go do match races the rest of the time. You could make maybe $500, $600 running at some little dragstrip in say, Alton, Illinois, and leave there and go to Maryland, or wherever the heck you were, all over the country. There was a time we'd run 70 dates a year. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, every day at a different track. NHRA, through HOT ROD and the media coverage, eventually became the only game, but they learned a lot from AHRA."
On Retirement
"I was 54 when I retired from driving and we finished Second in the championship. I don't know why or how I carried on and a lot of guys didn't. I can just tell you that I had a really burning desire to do it, and I gave it everything that I had. It wasn't about the money. It was about the cars and winning races. If you do something well—your hobby, you do it long enough, you can make a living doing it. To own race teams and learn about the business, it's been quite a journey. I'm used to it now. The first couple of years when I retired, it was tough. I wasn't around racing. I didn't watch it. I had to get away from it. It was such an intense time. I didn't know anything else. I couldn't see anything but that quarter-mile. I can see a lot further than that now. I can see almost a mile. Things have changed but it took a little time."
On 1,000-Foot Racing
"Now they're going faster in the 1,000-foot than they were in the quarter-mile. It was a Band-Aid. It's amazing to see new times and records. People still like that. Whether it's two horses or two cars, both of them want to win."
On Being a "People Person"
"Was I a jerk? Oh yeah, I coulda been. Sometimes I feel bad when I think about it. I think I was just very, very, very intense. It was nothing personal. I didn't want to take one minute of time off of what I was doing because the job was so important to me. It wasn't that I didn't like people."
On Old Push Starting
Up until the mid-'70s, Top Fuel cars had to be push-started. A parade of push vehicles and dragsters started at the top end of the dragstrip, heading toward the starting line, often at high speeds. Once fired, they'd make the turn, or be pushed by hand back and into staging since the cars did not have reverse gears. "These staging lanes [at Bakersfield] are the exact same as they were in the '60s. The only difference was, we were at the other end. We'd push down this way, fire 'em up, and make the turn. Reversers, that made life so much easier. Before that you had to push them back after the burnout. You used to pick your crew based on how big they were. They'd be running around the car, putting bleach under the tires, pants falling down, big ass falling out. It would piss Wally [Parks] off, made us look bad."
On the "Snake" Nickname
Asking about this raised a chorus of giggles from Prudhomme's entourage. "You going to tell her the locker-room story?" teased one of his friends. To his credit, Prudhomme blushed. We mentioned thinking it referenced his quick reactions and ice-cold killer instinct on the racetrack. "It did, it did," said Prudhomme, somewhat gratefully.
See the Video!
Our day with Prudhomme is reflected in an 8-minute video that includes racing action at Bakersfield and some time with Nostalgia Top Fuel's Adam Sorokin. See it at HOTROD.com/2013/April.

MORRISTOWN - OVAC Championship. Check. Home playoff game. Check. And now you can check off a 10-0 season.
St. Clairsville closed out a perfect regular season with a convincing 54-12 victory against Union Local. However, Brett McLean's Red Devils realize that there are still a lot of goals left to be accomplished.
"We were a little worried about our kids looking past this week and thinking about the playoffs," McLean said. "But our kids came out and got out of it right from the start and played well. We didn't stumble around and struggle, we got right after it.
"We still got a lot to play for. We realize Week 11 is probably going to be against a rival (possibly Harrison Central or Martins Ferry). We'll find out who we play, refocus and get back to work."
The undefeated season is the second St. Clairsville has put together under McLean's guidance. The other came in 2007.
The Red Devil skill players shared the wealth in limited time.
Senior Dan Monteroso scored on the Devils' first play from scrimmage, hauling in a 33-yard TD pass from classmate Matt Kinnick. The Boston College recruit finished with three grabs for 54 yards and also had a beautiful 60-yard interception return for a score.
Kinnick completed 5 of 8 attempts for 71 yards and two scores, the second of which went to sophomore J.C. Coleman covering 20 yards. Kinnick also scrambled for a 3-yard TD.
"Their QB does a nice job," Union Local coach Mark Cisar said. "He throws a nice ball and gets it in the hands of his playmakers."
Junior Jaylon Brown had limited work scoring on a 10-yard run.
The Red Devils also got scores from junior Ben Coleman (5-yard run) and freshman Brendan Ferns (17-yard run).
Union Local got touchdowns from sophomore Tater Blake (8-yard run) and junior Travis James who caught a 19-yard TD from senior Brandon Winesickle.
The Jets were forced to use Winesickle at QB after losing starter Gavin Porter (shoulder), backup Eric Dunfee (foot) and freshman Trenton Tipton (illness).
"Brandon has never taken a snap in his life," Cisar said with a smile. "He stepped in there and did a nice job."

The telecom regulator has slashed the minimum price for the auction of air waves by up to 80 per cent, marking a significant attempt at turning around the telecom sector, in which investment has all but dried up.
'Banks may not fund if spectrum overpriced'
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of Indias (Trais) recommendations have come after two previous attempts at selling air waves or spectrum failed due to high reserve prices. The failed auctions themselves came at the end of two bitter years of protracted dispute on policy in the sector that sent valuations of companies hurtling down.
Existing players including Bharti Airtel, Idea Cellular Ltd and Vodafone now stand to gain the most, while the interests of Reliance Communications Ltd and Tata Teleservices too will not be harmed. The government can also expect significant earnings from the auction of spectrum in this financial year itself, significantly boosting its non-tax revenues.
Defence ministry no to refarming of spectrum
However, Trai has also decided that no spectrum would be reserved for the existing players when their licences expire beginning 2014. All the three GSM players Idea Cellular, Vodafone and Bharti Airtel have approached the Delhi High Court, claiming that the terms of their licenses allow for an extension.
In other recommendations, the regulator has opened the field for trading of airwaves, a decision that will help banks which have extensive exposure to the sector.
Investments have dwindled in telecom, once the shining sector of Indian reforms. The introduction of new players by former telecom minister A Raja, the damning audit report by the CAG, and the Supreme Court order cancelling 122 disputed licences provoked foreign investors to withdraw and sue the central government for going back on its commitments.
Issuing the recommendations, Trai chairman Rahul Khullar said the new price regime reflected a total change in approach from the previous pricing regime. The recommendations cover only the 900 Mhz and 1,800 Mhz bands, most used by telecom operators. Trai has slashed the combined price for spectrum in the 900 MHz band in Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata circles by close to 80 per cent to Rs 650 crore per MHz from the Rs 3,074.18 crore earlier.
The biggest reduction of 81.38 per cent is in the Mumbai circle, where the floor price has been reduced

Has Badlands got their zipper problems worked out?
Has Badlands got their zipper problems worked out?
"Make no mistake, it's not revenge he's after ... It's the reckoning." Doc Holliday
I have a badlands super day pack that I have had a couple years now and I have always loved it. I can shove a lot of crap in there and it is super comfortable. I have packed out quite a bit of meat in it and I have packed out quite a few horns on it. ( i had 47 deer horns on it once!) Never had any problems. I like I because it I super adjustable which is nice for me since I'm little but need something that I can haul a lot of stuff in but not feel like I'm back heavy. Lol
This year I am going to be trying out crooked horn packs and hope they work as well!
Thanks Jen. I'm not a very big either stretching the tape to a whopping 5'7"!!!
"Make no mistake, it's not revenge he's after ... It's the reckoning." Doc Holliday
I would take a look at the Mystery Ranch Nice frame with Longbow bag on it. Link: http://www.mysteryranch.com/hunting/...e-longbow-pack
This would give you the option of switching to a Crew Cab bag or a 6500 if you wanted to do some more serious hauling or extended hunts. I have my Crew Cab loaded with 95lbs right now getting ready for hunting season, and it rides batter than any other pack I have used (Army ALICE, MOLLE, Eberlestock J107).
X2 is great day pack. Can fit whatever you want on it or in it. Its just short for a longer torso guy-Longer than 18.

One of our go-to ways to make any ensemble a little bit more fashion-forward is florals. This classic print manages to be pretty, girly, and always adds some extra visual interest to a look. But, lest you fear you'll look like a garden party by adding some flower power to your boo thang, we have an inspiration gallery just for you.

"Last time I got drunk I ate all this Brie and threw up on my cell phone."
Hannah to her parents in episode one -- it pretty much sets up the rest of the season:
"I don't want to freak you out, but I think I may be the voice of my generation. Well at least the voice of a generation."
Hannah after discovering she has HPV:
"Sorry I passed you an STD, but I really enjoy your quirky web presence."
Shoshanna to Hannah in regards to Jessa's explanation for her own HPV:
"All adventurous women do."
Side note: Roughly 20 million Americans have HPV. So get tested. Thanks, ladies.
"Last time I got drunk I ate all this Brie and threw up on my cell phone."
Shosh to Jessa:
"You're so hip, I could puke. I can never pull off a hat, how do you pull off a hat? Your skin is, like, hauntingly beautiful."
Hannah to herself in the mirror (read: what all New Yorkers tell themselves so we can sleep at night):
"You're from New York, therefore you are just naturally interesting."
Shosh during her attempt to get rid of her virginity:
"You know, it's, like, amazing. I'm totally not an attached bleeder."
Hannah to her touchy-feely boss:
"I just tried to fuck you, sue you, and extort you. I'm fucking nuts! Why would you want me in your office?"
Jessa to hipsters at the infamous Bushwick party:
"It means I don't think you're cool and your mother was poor!"
Cracked out Shosh to the ladies at that same party in Bushwick:
"I'm so happy to see you, I could murder you."
No one who's ever been to Bushwick found Marnie being there in the first place believable:
"I'm NEVER coming back to Bushwick again! Ever!"
What we've all thought but Hannah was the first to actually say out loud:
"I was wondering about the stuff that gets up around the sides of condoms?"
That moment when we all learned to love Jorma Taccone more than we already did thanks to his role as Booth Jonathan:
"I want you to know, the first time I fuck you, I might scare you a little, because I'm a man, and I know how to do things."
Adam may treat her heart like "monkey meat," but that doesn't stop her from going back for more -- no matter how loud we yelled at the TV during this scene:
"I don't even want a boyfriend. I just want someone who wants to hang out all the time, and thinks I'm the best person in the world, and wants to have sex with only me.
And it makes me feel very stupid to tell you this because it makes me sound like a girl, who wants to like go to brunch and I really don't want to go to brunch, and I don't want you to like sit on the couch while I shop, or like even meet my friends. I don't even want that, okay?
And I don't really see you hearing me, and I don't really see you changing, so… I just summed it up. And I'm sorry that I didn't figure it out sooner and you must think I'm even stupider than you thought already, but consider it a testament to your charms. Because you might not know this, but you are very, very charming. And I really care about you. And I don't want to anymore because it feels too shitty for me. So I'm gonna leave."
Shoshanna to Jessa who -- gasp! -- has never seen SATC:
"I think I'm definitely a Carrie at heart, but sometimes... sometimes Samantha kind of comes out. And then, when I'm at school, I definitely try to put on my Miranda hat."

Meanwhile, someone left a comment on my original post about the Joseph's Bakery pita bread, letting me know the Joseph's Bakery products are soon going to be available online. When I heard that (and after Lydia helped me remember how great they were) I decided it was time to make the Joseph's Bakery tortillas and pita bread an official Kalyn's Kitchen Pick.
Joseph's Flax, Oat Bran, and Whole Wheat Flour tortillas and Joseph's Flax, Oat Bran, and Whole Wheat Flour Pita bread are delicious, nutritious, high in protein and fiber, low in fat, and low in carbs. They're perfect for South Beach Dieters, or anyone following a low-carb or low-glycemic eating plan. They're made in Massachusetts, but if you live in the Eastern U.S. you may even be able to find them in one of your local stores. If you can't find them where you live, these are definitely worth ordering online.

Labor Day weekend is here and I want to write about a hidden treasure at Rifle Falls State Park - bats.Over the past few summers as the park naturalist, I have become a bat enthusiast and have developed my educational bat program for the park as another part of my "Livin' the Dream." From "Bats of Colorado: Shadows of the Night," Colorado Division of Wildlife:"People all over the world have been awed, fascinated, amazed or terrified by bats. These night-flying mammals evoke strongly missed emotions, depending on cultural traditions and degree of familiarity. ... Bats seem to have been given an undeservedly bad reputation. In truth, bats are retiring, intelligent animals, important to ecosystem function and of considerable benefit to people. They are not reservoirs of rabies; they do not attack people and become entangled in their hair. They are not blind, filthy vermin, and the true vampires - just three of some 900 species of bats - rarely feed on human blood."Bats are valuable to commerce, science, agriculture and natural ecosystems. In North America, they are the principal predators on night-flying insects, consuming thousands of tons annually. Bat guano is an important fertilizer in many parts of the world, and bats contribute to medical research. Even the neighborhood supermarket would not be the same without bats, which pollinate flowers and disperse seeds of many popular tropical fruits."Myths and misconceptions aside, bats are astonishing animals. They are the only true flying mammals. ... Bats are capable of powered flight. And they are remarkably adept at it, surpassing in many ways even the considerable skills of birds. A bat flying at 40 miles per hour can make a right-angle turn in little more than the length of its body."We have documented three species of bats at Rifle Falls. We have the little brown, hoary and Townsend big-eared bats. My favorite critter can eat 600 to 1,000 mosquitoes in an hour. Yum yum! They are great "insect repellents." We avoid those annoying mosquito bites by having bats hang around at Rifle Falls. They are really doing all of us a great favor by attending our outdoor campfire and acting as our personal pesky-bug bouncer. There is a possibility of other bat species in and around Rifle Falls: big browns, silver-haired, spotted, and canyon bats. Rifle Falls is also likely to have several myotis, or mouse-eared, bats, such as long-eared, fringed, California and Western small-footed.Location is everything to our bats, and Rifle Falls is the perfect place for them. We all need plenty of space, a great place to live, water and a source of food. Rifle Falls sure fits the bill. Bats are wild creatures. If you find a bat on the ground, you should call Colorado Parks and Wildlife. A bat on the ground can mean it is sick or injured. Bats can be a reservoir for rabies. However, the chances of getting rabies from a bat are extremely low, particularly if we do not handle them. Wildlife officers use protective gloves to pick up an injured bat. Should you be interested, I decided to have one last "Wild About Bats" educational program at 7:50 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 2. There is no guarantee we will have bats to observe munching on their supper above Rifle Falls, since they are wild creatures. They may have decided the nights are cooler, and it was time to start migrating south. Some information for this column was obtained from Dan Neubaum, wildlife biologist with Colorado Parks and Wildlife.Rifle Gap, Rifle Falls and Harvey Gap are managed by Colorado Parks and Wildlife, created with the merger of Colorado State Parks and Division of Wildlife. The agency manages 42 state parks, all of Colorado's wildlife, more than 300 state wildlife areas and a host of recreational programs. For more, go online to www.parks.state.co.us and http://wildlife.state.co.us.Terry Wise is the summer season park naturalist and volunteer coordinator for the Rifle Gap State Park Complex.

Neck Strain
Neck Strain Overview
Neck strain is injury to the muscles and tendons that support and move the head and neck. The neck is susceptible to injury because it is capable of extensive range of motion. It is, as a result, less stable that many other body areas. In addition, the neck muscles are affected by the motion of nearly all other areas of the body.
The neck contains many vital anatomic structures, the most critical being the airway (breathing tube), the spinal cord, and the blood vessels that supply the brain. Neck strain injuries do not typically involve serious injury to any of these vital structures. Neck strain is also not usually associated with fractures or dislocations of any of the bones of the cervical spine, but injury to all of these tissues can occur with the most severe trauma.
Injuries of tissues that contract and move, such as muscles and tendons, are termed strains. Similar injuries to nonmoving structures, such as ligaments, joint capsules, nerves, bursae, blood vessels, and cartilage, are termed sprains. Both strains and sprains of the neck may involve tears to ligaments covering the cervical vertebrae of the spine, the many muscles of the neck (which move the head), and many other associated structures. They may also result in injury to cervical nerves caused by stretching or compression.
The neck is an area where stability has been sacrificed for mobility, making it particularly vulnerable to injury. Because one can be injured in a number of different ways, a detailed medical and job history (including an analysis of work activity) is often needed to fully evaluate a neck injury. It also helps to predict how long one's recovery will take and what the prognosis will be following an injury.
A thorough physical examination is necessary, particularly in instances where symptoms of nerve injury occur. Other studies using the latest imaging methods and other techniques may also be helpful.
Seeing a doctor is essential for all neck strains with serious injury or for severe, persistent, or unexplained symptoms or problems. Supportive self-care is often enough with the more common minor injuries for someone to have a complete recovery.

text: I have a question. Is it possible, whether using the web client adding an external account or using the desktop client adding another account, to make it so only the headers are downloaded and not the "ENTIRE" mailbox? I'm referring to Zimbra accounts only. Example: firstname.lastname@example.com is the main user with a 1.5G mailbox. He needs to add/view mailbox for email@example.com, which is a common mailbox at 1.5G as well that other users need to view also. Using the webclient he adds an external account in order to add firstname.lastname@example.com's mailbox. At that point, Zimbra begins to copy over to user1's mailbox all of user2's mail making user1's total mailbox size 3Gig. Then if the 5 other users on the system also need to see user2's mailbox they are all going to have an increase of 1.5G to their mailbox as well, when we are all on the same server. I understand that user2's mailbox can be shared but when you have 50 folders in user2's mailbox it is not reasonable to go through and share each folder. Is there an option I can set in the admin panel or commandline option I can do to take care of this atleast on the webclient interface? I don't understand why the developers didn't make this option atleast with the desktop client. The Thunderbird client gives the option to do this but I would prefer to use the Zimbra desktop client and/or zimbra webclient. Help?

Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - With Atlanta's Al Horford on the bench saddled with foul trouble in the third quarter, the Indiana Pacers charged back.
Once Horford returned, he and Josh Smith helped the Hawks stave them off.
Smith tallied 29 points and 11 rebounds, while Horford netted 18 points in the Hawks' 102-91 win over the Pacers in Game 4 of this Eastern Conference first- round series.
Atlanta led by 17 at the break, but Horford picked up two quick fouls in the beginning stages of the third quarter and exited with four personals. The Pacers relentlessly attacked the rim for the duration of the frame, outscoring Atlanta 18-4 in the paint for the period, to whittle the halftime deficit to seven entering the fourth.
But Horford returned to pour in 10 points during the final stanza, while Smith added seven to hand Indiana its 13th straight defeat at Philips Arena and knot the set at 2-2.
Kyle Korver nailed five 3-pointers and finished with 19 points off the bench in the triumph.
Paul George registered 21 points, 12 boards and four steals for Indiana, which will host Game 5 on Wednesday.

Thank you all for making these past six months a shining success!
Everyone who's read this blog, subscribed to it, linked to it, left comments, sent me helpful e-mails and news tips, told their friends and peers about this blog, submitted and voted for this blog's content on social media websites, purchased merchandise from this blog's online store and library of suggested reading, made donations, and just had best wishes for this website and its success... many, many thanks to you all!
I had the idea for this website over a year ago and it began to crystallize last Fall, especially over discussions with my friend, colleague, and school mate Ben Bryan, who makes occasional contributions here. Then on October 2nd, The Humble Libertarian became a reality as I purchased the domain name, mapped it out into the blog (many thanks, GoDaddy!), put together the website design, and got up our first post, the About Page. Posting remained intermittent for the first three months, then at the start of 2009, we hit the ground running with daily updates on news and current events including unique and wildly thought-provoking commentary (like the list of 10 Obama Bush Comparisons).
With your help and devoted readership, we managed to garner an average of over 160 unique visitors a day in the month of March (that's over a thousand different people a week being exposed to the ideas of liberty!) with an all time high of 616 unique visitors in one day exactly a month ago on March 2nd. We've also been noticed by Edelman, the Cato Institute (twice), and the Independent Institute, whose founder and president wrote me earlier this year to congratulate me on this "great blog." Without your support, none of this would be possible, and without your attentive readership, none of this would matter. You are my inspiration and my success. Every post you read, comment you write, article you link to, and friend you tell about The Humble Libertarian has meant more to me than you could know.
I have very high aspirations for this website and will apply all my best efforts to growing exponentially its community of regular readers, its daily traffic, and its influence on the hearts and minds of those who read it, so as to work gradually toward a more peaceful, prosperous, civil, free, and love-filled future for all of us. I am happy and humbled to be living out my dream and I have been so encouraged by the results that I am proud to announce to all of you today that it is my objective to be making enough personal income from this blog's operation by the end of 2009 that I can blog full time and provide even better content and make an even bigger difference. It's an ambitious, but realistic goal and with your help and a lot of hard work on my part, I believe we can make it happen.
Thanks again for everything these past six months, and here's to six even better months!
Yes we can! (Sorry, I couldn't help myself.)

Nice intro, always nice to see maps with the first post, have a little rep for that!! Welcome to the mad house.
First of all I would like to say thanks to everyone here, as I have recently discovered, since I found this place and did some browsing, that in the past I have used maps that were a product of members of the Cartographers Guild.
Second of all, I am a Dungeon Master, writing up intricate plots, thrilling encounters and creating detailed worlds are skills that I pride myself on. Unfortunately, the "detailed" parts of my world are far too often nothing more than well organized textual descriptions.
I made the decision when my group and I decided to start a new 3.5 DnD campaign, that this time, I was going to have some sort of map for every encounter, as well as the world as a whole.
It all pales in comparison to the absolutely top notch work I see around here, but here's what I've got so far:
Arklay - Imgur
Ereena, a rapidly growing port city that, in the grand scheme of this world, is destined to become the planets trade capitol. (In a few thousand years, anyway)
Arklay - Imgur
The sub-continent that Ereena sits on, Gai'pok. Destined for greatness much like the city that it plays host to. If the Campaign that begins here plays out according to plan, it will end up being several thousand miles larger!
Arklay - Imgur
A small portion of the planet of Arklay, which is my own custom setting for DnD. It has about 8 other continents that aren't on display in this picture and is a VERY massive world.
I hope that with help from this Guild, I'll one day be able to re-create these maps with the level of craftsmanship I've seen from the artists here!
Thanks for reading.
Nice intro, always nice to see maps with the first post, have a little rep for that!! Welcome to the mad house.
Welcome to the guiild Luk3ling and thanks for sharing your maps!

bump. anyone???
The image size of this map is rather large and hopefully will upload properly to this post. If not here is an img ur link : http://i.imgur.com/QNsT8.jpg
This is my first map and first time using photoshop. I followed the Atlas Styled Tutorial I found here and I'm semi happy with the results. Everything was done with CS5.
The map is for a D&D campaign and while I'm mostly glad to just be at this point with it I have several issues. I want to break this up by zone so that What I'm about to say makes sense.
Map Segmented by Zones : http://i.imgur.com/XBgRP.jpg
1) Zone 1 should look like the amazon river basin. The most notable issue I have here is both coloring and the river system. I feel like the way the the rivers were approached in the atlas style tut was great but in my map I don't feel like I executed them very well and it doesn't really convey to me "Low lying tropical mangrove forest jungle river basin' type of area. I think the color detracts from that a lot. The problem I ran into with color is that in the tut you create a gradient fill for the land layer and pick essentially three colors then come back later and paint over it, when I tried to paint over it with darker colors i mostly created dark spots because only some parts of the layer would 'pick up the paint', if that makes any sense. I'll be the first to say that I'm a photoshop idiot so any insight on that would be great.
2)The Mountains stand out to me as the biggest disappointment of the entire thing. They more resemble offensive gouges in the land. I had some problems with the cloud filter when following the tut. I tried it both on CS6 and CS6 and had the same results. Somewhere something in my settings is screwed up. When creating render-> filter-> clouds you're supposed to then select a color range ( alt s m c) while the foreground/background palate is black (fore) and white (aft). From there you set the fuzziness and hit ok. It should, in theory select all black. The problem I had on both programs and literally every time the select color range function was used is that it would either select all white or all of the grays and leave me with nasty black ring cloud colors. I worked around this by setting select to 'Shadows' instead of 'Sampled Colors'. This, however, allowed me to select the black but didn't leave me with much gradation once the color was deleted. It left me with very jagged cloud rendering to build the mountains with and I'm exceptionally unhappy with them. Any insight at all on that would make my day.
3) The placement of the mountains is bothering me. I have to point out that my GM created the outline map originally and I picked it up and made it digital later so I was going by his original. I felt that to justify the existence of the lakes, you would have to, I assume, have mountains somewhere to create an elevation to allow water to drain and pool, creating a lake. I tried to reflect that with the rivers. I feel that the placement of the mountains is poorly chosen and doesn't really convey believable terrain to me but I reworked them so many times and over so many hours that I settled on the current product out of frusteration. Any ideas would be helpful.
Any other critique would be appreciated.
bump. anyone???
Hey there,
I'd say it's pretty good overall, though some comments : I'm not really convinced by the height waterlines and the coasltines could be worked with more smooth to fit the map'style. It seems there are some rivers issues (a lot of them don't flow towards oceans or seas with no reason but some rivers police experts could tell you more and better about that. They probably need some more work to fit the style too.
Nice Map, I like the design / layout / textures. As Max said you have some river problems. Many of your rivers branch in the opposite direction of what they should be doing.
My Battlemaps Gallery http://www.cartographersguild.com/al...p?albumid=3407
1. You lack patience. You posted your map, and a mere eighteen minutes later, here you go bumping this thread. A forgivable sin, to be certain, but a lack of patience will not serve you well, when it comes to cartographic undertakings.
2. Mountains? What mountains? You mean that there are mountains on this map? Oh, those things - those are mountains? How dreadful! I share your disappointment with them. I leave it to you to fix them, however. May I suggest that you obliterate these, and spend a little time crafting some real mountains - of the kind that will make men to sit up and take notice?
Typically speaking, mountains should be the predominant feature on most maps. Yours are, well, what some might call blobs and squirts. They are unworthy of the title, mountains.
3. Your map has coastline sections that are simultaneously quite large and too rounded, to boot. Whatever were you thinking? These areas are wholly at odds with my eye. They don't sit quite right in my view scape. They retard my ability to appreciate what it is that you are trying to accomplish with them and through them.
4. Your greater coastline, if I may call it that, is less jagged than would ideally be the case.
5. Such a large land mass, and such few islands. A pity.
6. The green color assortment that you use, I find that to be appetizing. That desert area in the south could stand considerable improvement. That frigid snow-covered region in the far north, thumbs down. It's largely a bunch of white, with little in the way of character to entice the eye to be drawn to it. As such, why is it even there? The various parts of your map should all be continuously dueling for attention from the viewer.
On this early incarnation of your map, my eye settles on the green. Very pretty, but largely an exercise in abstract art. Why? Because, your map lacks detail, and because it lacks detail, it lacks character. The green is quite beautiful. The remainder isn't.
7. This map cries out for a border. Not all maps do. This one does. Borderize the beast.
8. That interior lake is atrocious.
9. I see that you have plopped down a number of what appear to be rivers. Rivers are probably the single hardest thing on a map to get right. You will be pleased to learn that you have not quite mastered the art of rivers, yet. In all fairness, though, most haven't. I couldn't draw a realistic or passable river system on a map, if my life depends on it. My life doesn't depend on it. If you get a lot of the other stuff right, the human eye will tend to be more forgiving of the rivers that you do get wrong.
10. Are those dark green splotches supposed to be forests? If so, I can grasp that. But, is that what you are after? Do you seek to make them blend in, and not become a focal center of gravity, visually speaking? Or do you want them to take on their own identity within the overall map, itself? What is your grand objective?
11. The elevated coastline effect, I have mixed feelings about. It will work very well, with islands. It would work better, here, as is, if it was also applied to those large inner bays, and if the small islands were wrapped by that effect independent of the larger land mass, itself.
12. You have spared us the indignity of textual atrocities. For that, I thank you. Get the features and points of interest right, first, and then worry about your text labels, afterward.
The rivers are definitely a problem. Rivers seldom split as they flow downstream. And when I say seldom, I mean so infrequently that if you depict one doing so, you'd better have a darned good explanation for it prepared ahead of time. Usually it can only happen with human intervention—flood control or irrigation or canals. Stylistically, they don't really look like they're carrying water across the landscape. They look like damp spots. Assuming the rivers are on a separate layer, ctrl-click that layer to select them, then switch to whichever layer holds your land texture, and hit the Mask button at the bottom of the layers palette. This will carve a space in the texture for the rivers to sit in. Then raise the opacity of the river quite a bit so they are more visible.
Now to get the look of your mangrove swamp, make a new Hue and Saturation Adjustment Layer on top of your layer stack. I'd suggest turning down the saturation a bit, and sliding the hue slightly toward the blue. Your entire image will change, but don't worry about that—we'll limit the scope of the adjustment in a few moments. Once you have a color in that basin that you like, select the Mask on your adjustment layer and fill it with black. Then use a soft round brush to paint white in the places where you want the adjustment layer to take effect.
Regarding your fuzzy selection problem, the tool won't automatically select black. On the right-hand side of the dialogue box, there are three eyedropper icons. Click the left-most one, then click in a dark area on your image. Now you can adjust the fuzziness, and you should get a selection that starts in the darkest areas and creeps toward the white as you adjust the slider.
No time to talk about mountain placement in any depth, but from a quick look, it doesn't appear to be a problem to me. It does look like maybe there was an asteroid impact, with that ring of mountains surrounding a huge bay/sea.
I'm surely not interested in a big round of word battle but I wanted to say some things.
@GrimFinger - Dude...Your critique style seems harsher than required, probably due to your using questionably humorous comments and questions. It's nice that you took the time to type all of this because unless someone did there wouldn't be any critiques. However, one could just point to what needs addressed and leave it rather than being insulting. Half of your statements amount to "I don't like this". That's not really helpful to a new mapper. Perhaps if you pointed to a tutorial or another map that shows what you feel is needed it would be useful. It's also acceptable to say, "I'm not sure what you should do with those 'whatevers' but they don't seem quite right to me." Now, in honesty you do bring up some valid issues so if the artist can read through the verbiage they may improve. Unfortunately, I will say I am glad my first attempts were not critiqued by you. Today I wouldn't mind tougher critiques but I think if my first attempts received this sort of treatment I would have bailed for another forum. Giving a critique is an art form in itself. I'm late for work but if I have time I'll find the discussion we had on this some months ago. I'm not entirely sure if you are trying to be encouraging or discouraging with what you posted and that leaves me on the fence regarding everything you said.
@fifthmanstanding - There are good things about your map so don't give up. Sometimes you have to look at critiques and try to understand what is being said rather than how it is said. If you feel disheartened just remember how interesting it is that those who tend to talk the most are those who haven't created anything themselves. Also, if you want to be an artist you simply must grow a thick skin. For all I know you have one but I'm just saying.

No big round of word battle, as you characterize it, is necessary, but I am happy to respond to your concerns expressed here.
It has been said by men greater than I that one man's junk is another man's treasure, and that one man's vulgarity is another man's lyric. What I offer, what I contribute, to the discussions here is merely my opinion, nothing more.
As you acknowledge, you are not certain as to whether I am trying to be encouraging or discouraging. Uncertainty has a tendency to instill doubt. That's the nature of it.
Perhaps I could tone down my critiques. Perhaps I could water them down. If I don't base my critiques off of my honest opinion, then what should I base them off of?
For that matter, I could eliminate criticism, altogether. Granted, as you point, out, I do bring up some valid issues. But, perhaps criticism should be intentionally mild and deliberately soft. Perhaps I should be a little less honest, and a lot less blunt, and either mask my critiques with half-truths or withhold criticism that I believe to be warranted or useful.
If I go that route, though, then perhaps I should also tone down and water down my instances of praise for the handiwork of others on display here. I mean, after all, I use the exact, same eyes to lead me down the path of either praise or criticism. If I err in my criticism, then perhaps I err in my praise, as well.
It may well be that you are correct, Jaxilon, in your stated opinion that my critique style seems harsher than required. In all honesty, though, I really wasn't aware that critique styles should never be harsh. The process of critical analysis, after all, requires that one be willing to criticize.
As a general rule of thumb, I tend to leave it to each individual to decide whether to value or not any given input from myself on the maps displayed here. My experience in life, over the last half century or so, has been that perspectives vary, experiences vary, and opinions vary.
It certainly is not my intention nor desire for you, or anyone else for that matter, to be on the fence about everything that I say, here. But, then again, I haven't asked anyone to practice fence-sitting.
By and large, I feel that I tend to take as much time to explain and to expound upon particular and specific areas of criticism on given maps that I comment on, at least as much as the next guy.
Since you did not bother to specify which specific instances of my critiques that you feel may be too harsh, I'm not sure what, specifically, that you would prefer that I critique in another, less harsh way.
If you like, and believe it to be warranted, I could certainly go back in and edit out whatever it is that you find to be offensive, whether to yourself or others.
Also, if you like and prefer, I could simply keep my opinions to myself, until and unless someone asked me directly to comment on their cartographic efforts.
I try to be flexible, and I try to be tactful. Some seem to appreciate my style of critique, but that not everyone does isn't particularly surprising. After all, everyone tends to form their own opinions on what they like or dislike.
At any rate, my apologies for any headaches that I caused you, Jaxilon. In any event, I enjoy observing the cartographic handiwork of so many talented and skillful individuals so well-versed in their respective mastery of the craft. For most of the time that I have been a registered member of this site, observation - rather than critique - dominated the time that I spent on this site and in these forums, here. Issuing forth critiques tends to be rather time-consuming, anyway. If it's any comfort to you, it's less headaches for me, as well, when I simply observe, rather than critique.
Happy mapping to one and all,
- Charles -

Headed out to Wyoming last week in search of some lopes. Arrived on Tuesday in the middle of a nasty thunderstorm. The storm passed and we got to hunting. Saw a ton of bucks but not as many antelopes in general as past years. Hunted hard for 5 days and ended up with 2 nice bucks. Not sure what they score and havent measured them yet but we were happy with them. Any guesses? headed back home to catch up on work and then its out to Idaho to search for a muley buck.
Looks like a fun trip. Congrats on a couple nice bucks.
Very cool! Awesome the kidos were there to join in with the fun. Congrats

(AP) -- The big changes coming to the Big East aren't sitting very well with some of the guys who helped strengthen its reputation as the top basketball conference in the country.
Officials announced the plans last week. The seven Catholic schools, including St. John's, Villanova and Georgetown, are forming their own league that will keep the Big East name. UConn is staying with a group of football-based schools that will form a new conference while Syracuse and Pitt are headed to the ACC.
