MOUNDSVILLE - Employees at TeleTech Customer Care Management in Moundsville received 90-day notices last week and were told operations will cease Sept. 20.
During a Marshall County Commission meeting Tuesday, county and economic development officials confirmed employees at the Moundsville location were given their federally mandated 90-day notices during a staff meeting June 28.
Commissioner Brian Schambach said despite the less-than-positive writing on the wall, the county and Regional Economic Development Partnership will continue to work to keep the company in Moundsville.

Marshall County officials confirmed Tuesday that employees at TeleTech in Moundsville were given 90-day notices last week.
"We will do whatever we can," Schambach said.
But Jeanna Blatt, spokeswoman for Teletech's corporate office in Denver, said the location will close due to a decline in call volume, streamlined processes and changing business needs of clients. In total, roughly 260 employees will be laid off as of Sept. 20.
"In an effort to minimize the impact to our employees and the community, TeleTech will work with employees throughout the transition period," Blatt said. "TeleTech will provide separation pay and employment assistance to eligible employees."
TeleTech opened its 58,000-square-foot call center in Marshall County in May 1998. Initially, the center hired 125 agents and later expanded to more than 500 employees. According to Workforce West Virginia, it the sixth-largest employer in the county in 2012.
While it has consistently been one of the top 10 employers in the county, numbers from Workforce West Virginia show TeleTech's state rankings have declined in recent years, despite expansion at its Morgantown facility, which opened in April 2000. Those figures indicate TeleTech was the 37th largest employer in the state in 2012.
The TeleTech building located near W.Va. 2 in Moundsville is owned by Wheeling-based RED. Earlier this year, Williams Partners began occupying portions of that building for its natural gas and oil operations as part of a $4.5 million investment in the county.

Can you just give me feedback on my review? Rainbow Six Vegas 2
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 has been greatly anticipated and hyped due to its previous installment, Rainbow Six Vegas, which was quickly accepted by the gaming audience. But, would it be able to sustain the great qualities of Rainbow Six Vegas , like its phenomenal and decadent campaign, without becoming too repetitive?
If you enjoyed Rainbow Six Vegas, then this should be a game on your to buy list. There are a countless amount of similarities between the two, which some fans may have wanted, but for gamers like me, I want a new game experience because Im putting down sixty bucks. You would think it would have some noticeable differences, but unfortunately Ubisoft Montreal had other ideas for making a sequel.
Those who are familiar with Rainbow Six: Vegas may be surprised at the removal of Logan Keller, the main character. Keller is replaced with Bishop, who is created and customized by the player. Bishop has more experience from the battlefield and is able to import his knowledge to his advantage in sticky situations.
The player is Bishop, a highly respected and ranked officer in the Rainbow organization. He is a mentor and teacher at the training facility and is an essential asset to the organizations well-being and intel.
The campaign starts in Pic Des Pyreness, France in the year 2005. The story rapidly progresses by moving five years into the future to Las Vegas on July 2, which ironically is the same day of Logan Kellers appearance in Las Vegas in RSV. Unlike in RSV, the setting constantly changes where you entourage terrorists. That is one characteristic that does not get old, infiltrating terrorists at these beautiful and luxurious hot-spots.
Unfortunately, Tom Clancys Rainbow Six games arent known for their exceptional story telling. They are known as tactical, first person shooters where you generally obliterate terrorists. The good thing about RSV2 is that it manages to pull off a better story line then its previous installments, but it still could use room for improvement. In the first Act (the levels in Rainbow Six Vegas 2) the negotiator, Monroe, is assigned to discuss the release of hostages with terrorists. Gabriel Nowak (a member of your squad), Mr. Hotshot, decides that he doesnt want to wait for the cue to fire, but instead fire and risk the life of the innocent negotiator Monroe. Obviously, the result of Nowak firing at his disposal at the terrorists cause them to dismantle poor Monroe and force Bishop to fire on the terrorists. After Monroe dies, your team moves out to defuse a bomb and then extract to the chopper.
The first Act is the only one that takes place in 2005, the following acts occur in 2010. Throughout RSV2, your primary objectives will be to eliminate certain targets and to free hostages. Bishop is ordered to investigate the Cabreros brothers because they have received word that they have taken up small arms trafficking and have chemical weapons in their possession. The realism comes into play when Neville, an undercover NSA agents cover is blown and he is interrogated. Since Neville has a mic hooked up to him, Bishop and the rest of the team can hear Neville conversing with one another. At the point where he is discovered, he is tied to a chair and Bishop hears him being tortured. The sounds may seem inhumane and vulgar, but the accuracy of the sounds are so precise you may sympathize for the ligaments being eroded from Neville. It is a smorgasbord of screams in excruciating and agonizing pain. Unfortunately, before you are able to take the Cabreros brothers lives, they take Neville first and its an upsetting event for the entire Rainbow organization.
Will Bishop be able to extinguish the disputes terrorists are having with U.S. Agencies and civilians, or will they continue with their reign of terror...
The first noticeable difference you will see is in Co-op. Like Halo 3 and other shooters that allow you to play with a bud in the campaign, RSV2 also delivers with this fantastic opportunity. However, their is a change from the campaign supporting four players to two players. Some people may be disappointed at the removal of the extra two players, but instead you get more time to own terrorists with your friend.
The controls in RSV2 remain flawless in all aspects, that is once you get used to them. A hardcore Call of Duty fan would need time to adjust to the new controls, but if their hearts desire, they can have the controls synchronized to play as Call of Duty would. If you leave the controls at default though, it will seem much easier and oriented to how other shooters would play out.
One aspect of the gameplay that really stands out to me is how even the small details arent slopped together, but you can tell have had time put in to them to display perfection. Climbing a ladder or being shot at through glass, all has perfection written all over it. When climbing a ladder, you can witness how the full body is moving along it, every finger is grasping ahold of the next bar on the ladder to progress, all in sync and performs flawlessly. When you shoot through glass, you can see how thousands of little pieces of glass are flying everywhere and even remain on the ground and become embedded shards into a fallen enemy, or the carpet. When descending into a closed area with a rappel, the movements are again perfected and play perfectly whether you smash into a window or rock climb with it.
The weapons are standard, ones that you would find in most shooters. Typical rifles, shotguns, machine guns and sniper rifles are all common in RSV2. The night vision goggles definitely spice things up, but unfortunately there is a lack of opportunities to use them because you generally are fighting in the light, or outside in the sun.
Something very engrossing is that it supports the Xbox Live Vision Camera and PlayStation Eye. I personally did not use it, but you are able to take pictures of your self and import them onto Bishop where you can incorporate them onto your clothing, face, etc. You can even use them online for others to see. You dont have to take pictures of your self though, you can take them of knives, guns, or anything that is of your possession or something in which you are accessible to.
Another ecstatic detail is that the game only requires a whopping 120 kb (for a complete game save)! Compared to most games that is really a shocker. The reason is RSV2 is a rather large game, so how the entire game comes down to that is a shell shocker. So if your down to only few Megabytes, then this is another perfect reason to get it.
If you normally system link then youll be happy to know that it supports 2-16 consoles. As many people look down on that factor and brush it off thinking that they dont use it, or its pointless, you would be surprised at how many people do console link.
The overall presentation of Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is luscious, palatable, pleasing, sweet, satisfying, attractive, engaging, gratifying, or whatever word you would like to use. First, the visuals are everything you would expect from a Tom Clancy title. Displaying at HDTV 720p to HDTV 1080p the picture is crisp and detailed and In-Game Dolby Digital sounds great. The guns have a realistic feel to them provided mostly by the accurate recoil after shooting.
A small complaint would be the visuals, at a distance everything looks absolutely stunning. Close in on the background objects however, and the details can be fuzzy at times, and lacking detail. At the convention center which coincidentally happens to be holding MLG, you have to infiltrate and eliminate certain terrorists. From afar the building and all the furniture, computers and other objects inside look great, but up close they're a bit disappointing. If you want to mentally remember the game as having strong visuals circulating (in all aspects), then try not to stare to hard at inanimate objects. However, overall the end product from the Havok and Unreal Engine 3 is quite impressive, even if it does have a few quirks.
Originally, when RSV2 launched, it contained a lot of in game advertising. However, it isnt like most games that have in game advertising. Almost every corner you turn to, that same old advertisement you saw in that last hallway, has reappeared and seems to follow you around because every time you turn, there it is. As cool as it may be to see real life advertisements in the game, it's annoying as anything. Tropic Thunder, who it would appear to be sponsors of RSV2, held contests for certain in game advertisements that were placed around the game. They would hold clues, so you could figure out the answer, and hopefully win the contest. They were eventually removed in an update along with Trojan condoms, Indiana Jones, I Am Legend, Comcast, Fringe, Rogers, Far Cry 2, Canadian Forces, The Dark Knight, US Army, My Bloody Valentine, Iron Man and Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, and replaced with Major League Gaming and Microsofts Im a PC advertisements.
Another disappointing thing is the voice acting and how it synchronizes with that character. The dialogues are strong, but with their mouths not moving in accordance to what their saying, it gets confusing as to who is talking.
Even with the game being a solid 8-10 hours for the average player, you will still most definitely spend more time online, then off. Online consists of Co-op, Deathmatch, Team Battle, and simultaneous versus. In RSV2, there are 10 new close-quarters maps and a new mode called Terrorist Hunt. In Terrorist Hunt, you and three human players go terrorist hunting for specific terrorists, and once you neutralize them you are given a new terrorist to annihilate. Online will capture the player for the longest amount of time because of the amount of users online. It only takes a matter of minutes before the game is full which is refreshing because most games have deserted servers in a matter of months after its release (like Turok). Its obviously not the case for Rainbow Six Vegas 2 because its been released for 10 months now and the servers are still full (sometimes its even hard to get into a match).
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is worth a purchase because of all of its replay value. Besides from the action-packed campaign, the online modes are spectacular, there is a decent amount of downloadable content and the Leaderboards need some new names. The online match making is ten times better then the previous Rainbow Six Vegas, scratch that, it has the best online match making in the entire Tom Clancy collection (up to date). There is also a new reward system in RSV2 that reflects off the experience point (XP) system. For every kill that the player acquires, the player will gain XP. The interesting thing is, unlike its predecessor, the experience system is also tied in with the story mode. There is a new system called the A.C.E.S. combat system which works like achievements. Through A.C.E.S. the player can earn new weapons. The player can customize their clothes and weapons to their likings. Besides earning new weapons from A.C.E.S. the player can earn new weapons by advancing ranks (which is through XP, which can be earned both online and in the campaign). If you desire, you can download Rainbow Six Vegas 2 Fan pack which includes three new maps, new A.C.E.S. and 99 more elite ranks. This download is for both the PS3 and 360 (PC users can get it online via Ubisofts website).
I was pleased at the outcome of Rainbow Six Vegas 2 because it was able to maintain those phenomenal characteristics of Rainbow Six Vegas while keeping its distance from becoming too repetitive. For the most part, everything ran smoothly and ensured the gaming public that Tom Clancys games are of class and perform at a higher level, then most games can even imagine playing at. You will conceivably get your money's worth and have a hell of a time.
This will prolly be my only review on here...but I just wanted to here what fellow gamers thought. I used to write for a professional site (if you can tell my age...don't hold that against me :o) well...
anyways thanks

Re: Can you just give me feedback on my review? Rainbow Six Vegas 2
Hey Dan.
Thanks for the review.
You've got some good points and I can definitely tell that you've put some time in with the game, but my primary feedback would be to slice this thing probably in half. There's a lot of unnecessary detail that distracts the reader from your points, and it was hard to follow the flow.
I'd say trim the fat and resubmit, and if you want more feedback after that, I'd be glad to give it.
Thanks for the read!
Re: Can you just give me feedback on my review? Rainbow Six Vegas 2
"The overall presentation of Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is luscious, palatable, pleasing, sweet, satisfying, attractive, engaging, gratifying, or whatever word you would like to use."
"the weapons are standard"
Show, don't tell:
Too many redundant words eg noticeable difference, generally obliterate, progressing for five years, flawless in all aspects, easier and oriented.

Re: Can you just give me feedback on my review? Rainbow Six Vegas 2
I agree with Brad about shortening the review; it's a bit lengthy.
You mention the first game's "phenomenal and decadent campaign," but that's a lot to take for granted, especially for someone who hasn't played the first game. It's very subjective, and something that deserves a one- or two-sentence overview/example rather than just being stated like that.
Your writing picks up after the first few paragraphs, and it's evident you know the game and the genre; this really comes through. That's good, and keep with that, but again in a little less detail.
The previous poster says to show don't tell, and I'd agree. One concrete example is better than a lot of adjectives.
Speaking of examples, this is good visceral writing: "The sounds may seem inhumane and vulgar, but the accuracy of the sounds are so precise you may sympathize for the ligaments being eroded from Neville. It is a smorgasbord of screams in excruciating and agonizing pain."
It sounds like you aren't interested in publishing, rather in spreading the word about this game, and that's cool. But if you change your mind and want to re-work in hopes of going to our front-page, then I hope you'll give it a shot at editing.
Thanks for writin'!

So I ask this because I often find myself wandering around on news sites trying to waste time at work, and wonder which news sites people like most.
That is where I get most of my news.
When Prepared, Fear No One.
Christian Science Monitor. - csmonitor. com
I find it to be the most even handed in coverage.

I use CNN.com but I'm tired of it... too many "headline" stories that remind me of FOX News. I just want pure information, and have been trying nytimes.com.
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
The Onion - America's Finest News Source
The most reliable source I have found.
I used to like google news but they recently changed their layout and it's worse off.
Nobody but HB knows for sure. You pretty much know nothing....like Knownothing would like to say.
Deadspin for sports. Sometimes i need to laugh
I follow a bunch of different news outlets on twitter, so whichever shows up there first is the one that I go to.
I read everything through an RSS reader.
Get most of my "headline" coverage from CNN, BBC, KCCI, The Daily Beast Cheatsheet, and the Des Moines Register.
Without getting too political, for somewhat non-partisan opinion and more in-depth articles, I like to read The Economist daily blogs (in particular Democracy in America, Lexington's Notebook and Free Exchange) and ProPublica.

As with an earlier poster, I get most through RSS feeds. Mine are set to my iGoogle home page & "Feeds" tab on my browser. All the local TV stations, the Reggie, some local blogs, etc.

It's clearly red. Yet so many bicycle campaigns try to convince me otherwise it's disturbing. What it really is, is the best way to get from A to B. It is so for many reasons, not least because Amsterdam has made a big effort in making it convenient. Using a bike for getting around also happens to be green, economical, chic, fun, healthy, practical... you name it. Yet, as Marco quite brilliantly says over at Münchenierung, it can never be only marketing.
Take for instance the bicycle parking at train station in Amsterdam Zuid (WTC). You go, get a ticket, lock your bike, and off you go. Your bike will be there when you get back, safe and dry. It's even free for the first 24 hours! After that it's only 50 cents a day, so I tend to leave my bike there when I go to the airport. You will have a hard time convincing people to ride a bike because it's green -or economical, or chic, or fun or healthy, if they don't find it convenient and safe. At the end of the day, most people will simply do what it's easier for them to do. Nothing wrong with that, life's hard enough as it is.
Amsterdam loves it's bikes, no matter what colour they are.

Rail traffic continues steady start in 2011, according to AAR data
January 21, 2011
While annual comparisons may pale somewhat when compared to last year, railroad traffic remains up on an annual basis for the week ending January 15, according to data released by the Association of American Railroads (AAR).
Carload volume at 282,987 carloads was up 7.5 percent compared to the corresponding week last year. This is down slightly compared to the week ending January 8 at 285,108 carloads and up compared to the 240,073 for the week ending January 1. The AAR said that carload volume was up 2.5 percent in the East and 7.4 percent out West.
Intermodal volumes for the week ending January 15 checked in at 213,486 trailers and containers for a 5.8 percent annual gain, which was pretty much even with the week ending January 8 at 213,665 and well above the week ending January 1 at 166,894. Container volume for the week at 181,876 was up 7.2 percent, and trailer volume at 31,610 was down 1.5 percent.
These totals continue the positive trends seen in rail traffic from the majority of 2010 although it may not be as much of a growth year as 2010 was, considering its weekly and monthly volumes were up against a dismal 2009.
What's more, railroad shippers appear to be optimistic about their growth prospects for 2011, according to the results of a Dahlman Rose Rail Shippers Study.
The study indicated that rail shippers regained confidence during the second half of 2010 and expect their respective businesses to grow at an average rate of 7.7 percent over the next 12 months, which tops the previous of 9 percent for the first quarter of 2010 since the end of the recession, with 52 percent of shippers stating they are more confident in the direction of the economy than three-to-four months ago.
Of the 20 commodity groups the AAR tracks, 11 saw annual growth, with metallic ores up 119.2 percent and all other carloads up 34.2 percent.
Estimated ton-miles for the week ending January 15 were 31.6 billion for a 7.8 percent annual increase, and for the first two weeks of 2011 the 63.5 billion ton-miles recorded are up 14.4 percent.

4-H's Awesome Events and Activities!
Enrollment for Phillips County 4-H closed Jan. 15 for the 2013 4-H year. While 4-H members are busy considering what they would like to do for their project, or maybe they are preparing for a livestock project, there are many events and activities that 4-H members have the opportunity to take advantage of, outside of their projects for county fair. Some of these events relate directly to their project areas, while others are separate from projects.
4-H projects teach specific skills relating directly to a certain project area. Members have the opportunity to expand upon these skills by participating in additional contests, events and activities. Many of these events and opportunities are offered on a county, regional, state and national level.
A majority of the state 4-H contests take place either at the Colorado State Fair in August/September or at the State 4-H Conference in June.
The following are contests held during either State Fair or State Conference: cake decorating, creative cooks, fashion revue, consumer decision making, consumer bowl, horse bowl, horse demonstration and public speaking, horse judging, livestock judging, meat judging, poultry judging, rabbit judging, rocket fly day, state shooting sports, speech and demonstration.
4-H members have the opportunity to compete in these contests either on a team or sometimes as an individual. Participating on a team instills teamwork and cooperation skills while participating in individual contests encourages a high level of responsibility and self confidence.
One of 4-H's main goals is to provide opportunities for youth to learn and practice leadership skills in a comfortable, safe environment. In order to achieve this goal, 4-H members of all ages have the opportunity to participate in leadership conferences and camps.
A few of the most popular leadership conferences/camps for Colorado 4-H members are: the Leadership Development Conference held in January, 4-H Day at the Colorado State Capitol also held in January, Youth Fest in February, State 4-H Conference in June, Citizenship Washington Focus (in Washington, D.C.) in June and the Colorado Leadership Camp in November.
Even after more than 100 years of existence, 4-H continues to promote positive youth development through county and state projects, local club activities and state and national contests and conferences. Not only are members learning invaluable life skills while participating in these events and activities, they are having a great time and making lifelong friends.
For more information on joining 4-H in Phillips County or becoming a valued 4-H volunteer or mentor, please contact the Phillips County Extension Office at 970-854-3616. Extension programs are available to all without discrimination.

(Reuters) – The 2013 holiday season, touted to be the worst since 2008, showed strong growth compared to last year, according to data published by MasterCard Advisors SpendingPulse, which tracks customer spending during the holiday season.
Holiday sales between Nov. 1 and Dec. 24 rose 2.3 percent, compared to 0.7 percent a year earlier.
"It was actually a Merry Christmas for retailers," Sarah Quinlan, senior vice president at MasterCard Advisors, told Reuters, adding that jewelry was the best-performing category during the season.

Darius Smith...put up 28 pts last night.
I am glad to see we got a coach that is getting into chicago. I have thought for years that Chicago connection could be huge. THis kid would be a good player for us. Lot's of competition. I assume our new coach is the lead on this one.
D-Rob is really doing a nice job.

wa State assistant coach Daniyal Robinson works as hard as any D1 assistant coach out there on the recruiting trail and has the Cyclones well-positioned with several top prospects in Illinois from all classes. The class of 2009 prospects that Robinson was watching closely included Marcus Jordan, Darius Smith and David Brown. In the class of 2010, the Cyclones have already offered Anthony Johnson and are about to also extend an offer to Brandon Spearman as well.

13th rated point guard by rivals....sounds good to me He's listed as 6'1 and he is shown throwing down one handed dunks in his pics!

proving himself to be a high major caliber player at Peach Jam, there is no doubt in our mind that 6'2 guard Marcus Jordan from Whitney Young High School in Chicago will begin to attract numerous scholarship offers. Rice and Iowa State are among the schools that like Jordan a lot and both had assistant coaches who watched him repeatedly at Peach Jam. Kansas head coach Bill Self and Memphis assistant coach Josh Pastner were also showing more than just passing interest, and as the line goes, "we aren't saying, we are just saying!"
Marcus is Michael Jordan's son.
ESPN - Darius Smith Rankings, Grade, News, Stats - College Basketball Recruiting 2009
Here, they mention Darius and Iowa State together.
Unquestionably the best backcourt defender in this event (2008 Super Showcase U17), Smith personifies a true ballhawk. He has unbelievably quick hands and reactions and specializes in stripping opponents on the dribble or with the ball in their hands. He has long arms and is a fierce competitor. Smith has the knowledge and skills to play either backcourt position. He likely will play the point at the collegiate level. His list of schools includes Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa State, Marquette and Bradley. Notes

Today we met the Latina of the week. Sashaa works at a local bodega where she hardly makes money. She was digging Jmac and guided him towards the back room where things got out of control. Without hesitation she took his pants off and devoured his cock like an animal. Every time the door sensor was activated she was in the middle of an orgasm and would ask him to go faster. Once he busted all over her ass she had to get back to work.

WEST LIBERTY - All-American wing Alex Falk describes Winona State as a cross between Indiana, Pa., and Bowie State. West Liberty (33-1) coach Jim Crutchfield said the Warriors (27-7) are extremely big and athletic.
Both parties agree the Hilltoppers' Elite 8 opponent at 2:30 p.m. on Thursday inside Louisville's famed Freedom Hall is the best team it has faced, possibly ever.
''I watched their last three games and to say I am impressed is an understatement. They're incredible,'' Crutchfield said. ''I'm stunned that they even dropped a couple games in the season.
Article Photos
Coach Jim Crutchfield, above, and the top-ranked West Liberty men's basketball team hope to keep rolling in the NCAA Men's Division II national quarterfinals this week in Louisville, Ky.
WLU Photo
''If they have a weakness I am not sure I've found it yet. We're probably going to have to find it on the court. Looking at them on film, they seem to have all the bases covered.''
If it seems West Liberty is taking this seriously, you need only look back to last year when it was upset by a Stonehill, Mass., club that probably wasn't at the Hilltoppers' level. In talking to anyone involved with the program, that loss has been burning inside for an entire year.
''We just didn't play as smart and guys didn't make the plays - the one's you can control,'' Crutchfield said. ''It's not about missing shots, it's about fighting through screens, boxing out on the boards and those types of things that make you win. We didn't do those.
''For us to be Winona State we have to control every variable that we can. We can't let anything slide by. We can't miss box-out assignments, we cannot be loose with the basketball and can't make mental mistakes.''
The Warriors are out of the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference and enter with having played the second-toughest schedule in the country according to the Massey Ratings. And remember, Crutchfield said he has no idea how they even lost a game.
Clayton Vette, a 6-foot-9 center who joined Falk, the D-II National Player of the Year, on the All-American team, is a transfer from Iowa State. He averages 20.7 points and 7.9 rebounds a night for Mike Leaf's program, which won national titles in 2006 and 2008, while finishing runner-up in 2007.
''He's unbelievably good,'' Crutchfield said of Vette. ''I looked at our matchups and everybody is guarding a guy at least 3 inches taller than them, and they're not just big.
''That's not the part that bothers me. It's what they can do. They can play up tempo or they can play half court.''
The Warriors' point guard, senior Grant Johnson, stands 6-5 and Crutchfield said he may be the team's best rebounder. Kellen Taylor is a 6-7 junior that can defend both guards and big men, while Xavier Humphrey (6-2) is the second-leading scorer on a team that has four in double-digits nightly, at 11.3 points.
Winona State shoots 47 percent from the field and 36 percent from the 3-point line.
''They're really athletic and it's going to be a war,'' Falk said. ''They're smart players and we're going to have to play well.
''We're going to have to play our way and work for 40 minutes.''
If there's one advantage the Hilltoppers may have, it comes in the fact Winona State plays in a league where the press is used almost exclusively in late-game situations. The Warriors have more turnovers than they've forced, which is a far cry from the numbers West Liberty puts up.
''We have to dictate the tempo and that's what we've done all year,'' Falk said. ''It doesn't matter because every team here is going to make a run, because every team here is good.
''What we're going to do is we're going to weather it, and after that run they're going to be worn out. That's what we believe and then we're going to turn it on even more because that's what we do.''

Congrats Siena! What wonderful news! Looks like we'll both be having baby girls this June!
I had my 18 week scan last week too. We already knew it was a girl and so we were just hoping to see some good views of the baby. She yawned while we were having the ultrasound and also appeared to give us a thumbs-up. So cute. She also has the same nose as DD!
We also found out that I have a low-lying placenta and that the umbilical cord only has 2 blood vessels instead of 3. Nothing to be too freaked out about at this point I guess. But there is a risk of having a smaller baby. I am trying not to worry too much about it. I'll have lots more ultrasounds to track her growth. DD (now 2.5) was premature and weighed only 4 lbs 9oz. So I just keep telling myself that if this baby is just small, we can deal with that as long as everything else is healthy.

I like that the refs are letting them play, though the bulls could have used that foul on salmons
who would have thought that that would have actually been a season changing trade?

There were quite a few people who did.
I can't wait until Ben Gordon is no longer wearing a Bulls uniform. Clear path foul, nice.

Comments about Music Man Big Al Bass:
Own the 4 SSS in white with tort guard. Have found it to be one of the most versatile basses I have ever played, and I am a lifelong musician. Jazz tones, P-tones, Stingray tones, there all here. The ability to shift from passive to active and back with not much change in volume (at center detente) is a real testiment to the quality and innovation that EBMM has been putting into its instruments.
Some have criticized the looks of this bass. I love it. Its great to play a unique looking instrument,and watch people's reaction to the sound. That's the real test -- how it plays, right? And it plays and feels fantastic. Great ergonomics, well balanced, no neck dive. Passive mode is pretty tame, well mannered, like a comfortable pair of jeans. Put put it in active mode, and crank the bass an low mids, and watch out for falling objects all around you. Highly recommended.

Hey All -
In another thread I got thinking about ISU great Stevie Johnson. Always was impressed by the physical play he brought to the court and was a quiet piece to some very good ISU teams. Melvin seems to have a similar play style to Stevie.
Any other Cyclone fans really enjoy Stevie back in the day? Thought I would create a thread for a good Cyclone that does not seem to get brought up much.
Happy Friday!
Smoke um if you got um
Stevie was my coach at the ISU bball camp. He was awesome.
Played in the Sweet 16 and a bowl game correct? If that is accurate...how many NCAA athletes can say they did that?
Am I wrong on this...?
From what I remember Stevie after his final year of basketball went out of football and started most of the year at OLB under Dan. The guy was awesome. I was only in the 4th/5th grade I believe so my facts might be a bit off.
Two Stevie Johnson stories:
1. I had my picture taken with him on the field after the Insight bowl win. Cool guy.
2. My son was 3-4 at the time and Stevie was his favorite player. He wrote him a letter asking if he could come over to our house, watch Scooby Doo, and shoot hoops in the driveway. Sadly he did not.
Always loved watching a 6'4" guy (maybe a little shorter than that) guard the 6'10" or 7' guys for Kansas. Tough and physical without being dirty.

Elite 8. Should've been final 4.
I believe Stevie had a heck of a career in Europe after leaving ISU. He use to bother the heck of out the bigs in the Big 12 at the time. Quick and never gave up an inch on the block.

Was part of the Elite 8 team (National Champions really) in 2000.
Stevie was a nice guy too. Everyone on campus loved him. And yes, Ejim really reminds me of him, especially how they both hustle for rebounds, etc...
Originally Posted by ribsnwhiskey

Ugh...don't bring me down...thinking of that game still pisses me off!
And...didn't he date Tracey Gahan while at ISU? That is the trifecta! Elite 8, bowl win and Gahan! Nice!
Who is Tracey Gahan?
Stevie is on my all-favorites team. He had to be feeling pretty damn good about himself after graduating. Took the basketball team the furthest it had been in the modern era and took the football team to its first bowl game in 20+ years. I'm sure it was all him.
If I recall, he didn't play much at the beginning of the football season but grew into a solid contributor throughout the season. I'll have to go back and watch the tape but I think he made some good plays in the bowl game too.
Great Thread before the Holidays. Merry Christmas All.
Stevie was possibly my favorite ISU hoopster of all time....hence my screen name.
My freshman year stevie was a sophmore, so I basically atteneded every game during the "elite"/ Larry Ball Era.
He lead the team and near the top in the confrence in Rebs, while only being about 6'4.
Favorite Stevie Game:
Elite 8 Season, ISU was playing Texas or OkSt in the big12 Tourney.
Tinsley was hitting Stevie with sweet passes for layups all game, and Stevie was hitting the glass hard too.
ISU was up by 15-20ish. Watch'n the Game with my Dad on break.
With 15 seconds left in the game and only 8sec on the shot clock, ISU was going to have to chuck a shot before the shotclock expired. I think Tinsley was just going to dribble out the clock and take the penelty. ISU crowd in KC was standing and getting pretty fired up for the Vicotry...Fizer runs up to the top of the key and says something to Tinsley....."I assume...let Stevie shoot it"...
Stevie comes off a screen and fires off a fade-way 3, as the shotclock horn goes off....and DRAINS IT!!!!
Crowd is now going Wild!!!!!
I belive it was Stevie's only 3 all year.
He finished the game with 20pts and about 15 boards...
Dad gives me a HighFive and says...." I think that deserves a Beer"..(was still underage)
I think ESPN name Stevie to the All NCAA GarbageMan team, during the Elite 8 season.

Just laws were sacked with rules insane;
As the tyrants on the rise, and mass confused,
offered lust with lies, and faith abused.
Thus the signs indicated, and time dictated.
Some souls elevated as Husayn(as) navigated;
a seed of the Prophet (P) and the sight of his Parents (as);
that time in deluge, he was ark so apparent.
In the Name of God, for the sake of Islam;
for the freedom of life and soul of Islam;

The Journey Of Imam Hussain (a)
This presentation contains the details of Imam Husain (a)'s journey from Medina to Karbala.
Mawahhabiyah na Wauaji wa Imamu Husayn (a.s.)
Makala hii awali imetolea dalili ya Utukufu wa wajukuu wa Mtume Muhammad s.a.w.w, khususan Imamu Husayn a.s. Kisha inaeleza kuwa Mawahhabi wanawatukuza na kuwaona ni waaminifu hawa waliomuua Imam Husayn a.s ambaye ni mjukuu wa Mtume Muhammad s.a.w.w.
Inasikitisha na inastajaabisha kujua kuwa wauaji wa Mjukuu wa Mtume s.a.w.w. vipi watukuzwe na kupewa sifa ya kuwa ni waaminifu.
Tuombe sana Mwenyezi Mungu atuongoze na atupe Ufahamu wa kuelewa Ukweli na atupe Hekima kuelewa tofauti baina ya watu wema na wabaya.

I am a new user of Zimbra desktop and am finding it excellent. I have it installed on my main machine and there it has some 40,000 emails downloaded.
But I also have it on another machine on the same (home) LAN. And there, of course, it has that same 40,000 emails downloaded again.
Seems like a bit of overkill perhaps or wasted effort or wasted disk space.
Should I worry about it? Is there anything can be done about it such as a Zimbra 'sync across the lan' feature? Or does it just not really matter, leave it alone?

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office has arrested a Jacksonville man and three teens who were allegedly involved in a gang-rape on Thursday involving a woman, according to our news partner The Florida Times-Union.
According to the victim, she was taken to a location about 8 p.m. Thursday to meet one of the 16-year-old boys.
Then she was taken to a place where four unknown young men raped her, the T-U reports. Each one of them took turns assaulting her as she was held down by her arms.
The victim told police that the other 16-year-old did not rape her, but he did help hold her down as the others did.
Police said the arrests were made on Sunday after the victim identified all suspects through a police lineup.
Travis Devon Maye, 22, was charged with sexual battery and false imprisonment in the Thursday night rape, according to the T-U.
Charges against the teens including a 15-year-old boy and two 16-year-olds are not available due to them being minors.
A fifth person is still wanted in connection to the gang-rape
