Join us at IBMECMblog.com for a guest post from Dan Bigos, IBM Market Segment Manager, ECM Industry Strategy
Increasing workforce transformations and regulatory requirements are making companies to look towards employee records management solutions. Significant amount of employee related information is stored as employee documents throughout an employee's tenure in an organization. These documents range from recruitment documents, on-boarding forms, emergency notification forms, performance appraisals to separation checklists. There is a clear distinction on what should be stored as employee records and what not. The Society for Human Resource Management provides guidance on the types of records that should [not] be included in personnel files and the record type and variety vary by industry. The challenge is to efficiently capture, process and retain relevant employee records so that they may be easily, securely accessed by authorized personnel.
Despite the proliferation of digital technologies, a remarkable volume of current and historical employee records are stored in file cabinets and banker's boxes. Inherent costs and risks include accurately capturing employee data, copying, mailing, mis-filing, security, and potential loss of sensitive employee documents.

can anyone share their method of building zimbra on debian 6 amd64?
What exactly did you try, and what was the outcome ?
so far stuck at
Code:$ ./p4 -u public -P public1234 -c public-view sync -f //depot/zcs/BRANCH/... //depot/zcs/BRANCH/... - no such file(s).
Replace the word BRANCH by the name of the branch you wanna fetch, eg. HELIX.
You also have to create /home/public/p4 and give the user running p4 rw access to it.
Seriously, the p4 server tells the client where it has to put the files locally (sic!).
I'd strongly suggest running this masterpiece of insanity only in a strictly controlled
environment (at least dedicated user with minimal permissions) - you'll never know
what damage it might do ;-o
By the way, I'm currently in process of preparing the fork and launch an real
FOSS project ...

Good luck, I love star maps! I really hope it turns out well.
Those charts look really good!!
What are the stars in that formation? I love stars that make *recognizable* pictures
That's very nice! I really like star maps! I'm loving this challenge's entries.
Not that you need to, but just as a curiosity, if you want to simulate the solar system to get the orbits/distances/etc there are pretty good softwares out there.
Very cool entry!

Thanks for your comments
The stars (or rather: the systems' names) are some kind of "test your inner geek".
I won't reveal anything here. Use your Google-fu to explore the quadrant on your own
There are softwares for solar systems?
(And btw: I'm well aware, that the system I designed here is NOT to scale! If I wanted to put everything into proper scale, the system would visually disappear..)

Thanks to DtL reader Sonja for tipping me off to the latest Rafael Nadal news!
The world's top baller, who flew straight to Melbourne after winning doubs in Doha, is featured in TIME magazine this month.
According to his site, the feature article called "Nadal's New Spin" discusses his personal life, game, and people who surround the world's top baller.
Unfortunately the link to the actual story on his site isn't working but I'm doing some research and will post it once I find it.
In the meantime, here's some behind-the-scenes footage of Rafa's photoshoot for the issue. If you enjoy long camera shots focused squarely on the Matador's bronzed face, flowing locks, and sexy, broad shoulders then you might enjoy this video. Might.
UPDATE - Read the full article here - thanks anon! A couple of interesting points from the piece:
* "After studying the exotic wildlife of the Galápagos Islands, Charles Darwin surmised that animals can develop unique traits when they evolve in isolation. In the tennis world, Rafael Nadal is such an animal." - I love this analogy since it plays against the picture of his personal life he describes as down-to-earth, ordinary, and low key.
* Rafa's quote "I've always liked the competition more than the tennis."
* Uncle Toni working on flattening out his forehand. I don't believe it will be a complete change but part of mixing up his shot selection on that side. It's always good to have options on either side and overall.
* "Better now is Rafael, he is No. 1 in the ranking. But who has the best game? Federer." That's a brutally honest assessment from Uncle Toni, eh?
* Is Rafa, his handlers, or both pushing his image to mimic Roger Federer's? The article makes it sound like a combo platter. Bad move IMO - discuss!

I gotta say though I don't really like the picture on the cover. Don't really love what they've done there - he came out all pale and overly tired and with some kind of weird and unfortunate look, even though he looked his usual fine self in the video doing the shoot.
Someone's gotta be drinking over there at Time Mag...
Can't wait to read the article though!

Agh! After reading the article I can't help but feel for our Spanish hottie. Seems everyone's trying to change who he is. Hopefully any changes he's making are done because he genuinely wants to makes them, and not because he's told to. Unfortunately that's not the sense I got from that article. BOO!! :*(ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 12, 2009 at 10:16 AM
Just a bit of background is needed here: the author of this piece is a certain Eben Harrell, a self-confessed Federer fan, who wrote a sobbing article after his hero lost The Final at Wimbledon.ReplyDelete
So, this TIME piece is indeed a spin, but Herrell's spin. Yes, Rafa tries to hit his FH flatter for HC, but that's nothing new and he certainly is not trying to emulate Federer's game - other people have flat FH too. Yes, he's wearing sleeves, but again does this mean emulating Federer, supposedly the only man wearing sleeves?
Note how the author actually never quotes anybody - there was NO interview with Rafa nor his entourage, only conjectures, spin and a supposed quote taken out of context. And then that shite about alleged instructions of Toni to Rafa during practice, to "be/hit like Roger" - was that shouted in English for the benefit of the author? Lame invention.
Typical spin. And from a Federer's fan to booth. Accompanied by a bad photo of Rafa.
Bad journalism.

thanks for that giving us that very interesting background on the author and your take on the piece.ReplyDelete
good stuff!
one more thing: on Rafa's site it mentions this piece was going to be the cover story until the Israeli-Gaza conflict.ReplyDelete
Really??? Based on your read ANON, it seems a pretty flimsy cover story for TIME.

True about the photo. It was taken at that photo session covered with the vid here, and you can see how tanned and good he looks.ReplyDelete
The photo is simply over-exposed and over-lighted, so he comes up pale as a ghost. Why? To conform with the sinister article?
What a lame photo to pick. And a Spanish tennis star on the cover of TIME?! Wait, tennis getting any coverage at all? That HAS to sadly, unfortunately, very unfortunately, be a mistake. I would love it if it were true.ReplyDelete
Conspiracy or coincidence?! DO TELL!!!ReplyDelete
Thanks Anon 1:16 for that insight. I hated the article, too. It was so obvious it was written by a bitter Federer fan.ReplyDelete
I can't believe Rafa's site is actually promoting this. The article is totally dissing him. They make every quality he has come out badly (just like the photo)!
For instance: they make being down to earth seem like being a hillbilly ("he is a simple guy."), his evolution as a player and a person (which is natural in his situation and considering he is only 22 - should he stay a teenager forever??) seem like being forced and only imitating Federer, and they make Uncle Toni look like a control freak à la Pa Djokovic or Sharapov. And there's lots more.
Another thing I need to say: I hate the whole rant about Rafa changing.ReplyDelete
Like noone has ever changed before in his life.
His success and grateful behaviour is making us forget how young he still is. I sure ain't the same person anymore as I was as a 22 year old. Of course he is evolving as a person, adapting his style. And of course he might be doing it with advice of his PR guy. I'd want some PR advice too if I was as publicly exposed as he is. That doesn't mean he's changing his beliefs, which he apparently hasn't. He still is that decent, humble guy with that unending fighting spirit we all love.
He just needed a change of scene, sporting gear wise. And he is growing up.
Just remember that it wasn't so long ago Federer wore a ponytail (!). He sure didn't look like the gentleman-tennis-ambassador he is now. How old was he back then? 22?

Good grief. There IS a team more lethargic and more embarrassing than the Mets. Difference is, everyone there will be fired shortly. We can expect the return of the usual suspects.
Collins has lost his credibility. One day, he calls out the team, next day he apologizes for it. He tries to walk the tightrope, but as many have done before him, ain't gonna work. He's not the responsible party, but he should be held responsible. When the ship hits the reef, the Navy isn't taking the heat, the crew isn't taking the hit, the Captain is. Sure, it's scapegoating, but it's also reality.

Just eight years old, she began taking classes at the famed Cleveland Play House, establishing a foot in the door for juvenile roles when productions called for them and, when they did not, serving as a curtain-puller for the theater.

Victims of their own choice
Abortion | A growing number of women are speaking up about the crippling effects abortion had on their bodies, hearts, and spirits
By 5 p.m. on Jan. 24, the temperature in Washington, D.C., had dipped to a bone-numbing 13 degrees-so cold that, had more experienced activists not given Leslie Graves disposable hand-warmers to tuck into her boots, she might have fled indoors. Instead, the 49-year-old stay-home mother of three shivered near a small stage erected in front of the United States Supreme Court, waiting for her turn to tell a crowd of 250 about her abortion.
Others spoke before her: Actress and model Jennifer O'Neill, 57, a veteran of more than 30 films who aborted a child in the early '70s and loathed herself for decades. Alveda King, niece of Martin Luther King, who said the question of whether her two aborted babies were boys or girls still haunts her. And Georgette Forney, an abortion survivor who co-founded a group that helps abortion-injured people proclaim their pain.
As Leslie's turn on the dais grew closer, her throat tightened. She worried that her testimony would drown in a flood of her own tears. Finally, she climbed onto the platform and heard her own voice echo out through the mike into the icy breeze.
"Other women had spoken about coerced abortion," she says now. "So I decided to focus on the relative freedom of my choice, my strong pro-abortion convictions at the time . . . and how empowered I felt that day."
Empowered-until months later, when an inexplicable depression consumed her, and years later, when her mind "erected an invisible wall between me and my living children," she said. "I didn't trust myself to get too close to my own kids because my abortion caused me to perceive myself as a violently damaging woman."
Leslie spoke for about two minutes, pushing out the words through the pressure of building tears. Then she stepped down to the cold concrete and berated herself for not keeping her cool. But soon her turmoil turned to resolve: "I may look like a mess and talk like an emotional wreck," she thought: "But I am Silent No More."
Neither are more than 2,700 other women who have registered with the National Silent No More Awareness Campaign, founded by Georgette Forney of National Episcopalians for Life (NOEL) in 2002. Sponsored by NOEL and Priests for Life, the campaign aims to proclaim publicly the truth about abortion's crippling effects on women's bodies, hearts, and spirits.
Peer-reviewed studies of post-abortive women over two decades reveal a pattern of effects that some clinicians call "post-abortion syndrome." The syndrome is said to resemble post-traumatic stress disorder and includes sleep disturbances, sexual dysfunction, suicidal ideas or attempts, increased substance abuse, and chronic relationship problems such as child abuse or neglect and divorce. Studies also chronicle abortion-related physical complications such as hemorrhaging, infection, embolism, increased risk of tubal pregnancy, breast cancer, labor complications, and death.
But for every such scientific study, another stands ready to rebut it. The National Abortion Federation (NAF) website notes that such "mainstream" groups as the American Psychological Association (so mainstream it published in 1999 a study that proposed to nix the term "pedophilia" in favor of the "value-neutral" term "adult-child sex") analyzed similar research and found "there is no such thing as 'post-abortion syndrome.'" NAF also cites other researchers' findings that "significant psychiatric sequelae" from abortion are rare.
Perhaps in academia's ivory towers, Georgette Forney concluded, but not in the trenches of women's lives. Ms. Forney, who had an abortion at 16 and found healing through Christ at 35, has worked with NOEL since 1998, providing confidential online counseling to women seeking help with post-abortion guilt and grief. "I had been contemplating the lack of women's voices" on the spiritual and emotional toll of abortion, she said. "Pro-lifers seemed to be about the babies, while the media portrayed groups like the National Organization for Women and NARAL [National Abortion Rights Action League] as representing women. But I knew they didn't represent me or the women who were contacting me."
So in January 2002, when NOW and Planned Parenthood held their annual candlelight vigil for "choice" on the Supreme Court steps, Ms. Forney stood quietly on the sidelines with a sign that said, "I regret choosing abortion."
"It was almost an experiment to see who would express compassion," she says now. "One woman said to me, 'I'm sorry you feel that way.' But no one else in that crowd offered me a hand. No one cared to reach out to me one iota. I knew in that moment that these people did not care about women's rights. They cared about abortion rights."
That angered Ms. Forney, who had spent heart-wrenching days helping women who wrote in with stories and letters like these:
· "My husband didn't want me to have an abortion. I was stubborn and thought it would make life easier on everyone . . . I knew as soon as my uterus was violated I had participated in a murder . . . I cried every day for a year or more. Every time the vacuum [cleaner] was used, I thought about how my baby died."
· "I remember sitting on the toilet crying nonstop, bleeding and in terrible pain . . . [Seven years later] I have a lot of grief, remorse, and guilt deep in my heart. I wonder what the baby felt while it was being murdered with its mother's consent."
"Women were writing letters that were tearing me up inside," Ms. Forney said. "I knew it was time to do something to represent those women who were out there hurting."
That's how the Silent No More Awareness Campaign (SNMA) was born. The group, co-founded by Priests for Life associate director Janet Morana, holds nationwide gatherings similar to the one in Washington, D.C., where Leslie Graves spoke. In addition, SNMA offers to women healing resources such as retreats and memorial services, and publishes articles and op-eds to draw attention to an overlooked contingent in the abortion debate: women who've had them.
Attention multiplied rapidly after Ms. Forney met Jennifer O'Neill. The actress/model was a Hollywood force during the '70s, '80s, and early '90s, starring with John Wayne and Dustin Hoffman and working with prestigious directors like Otto Preminger. But in the early 1970s, at the top of her game, she fell in love with a wealthy New York businessman named "Craig." That relationship led to an unintended pregnancy. Already the mother of a 3-year-old daughter from a previous marriage, Ms. O'Neill was happy about the new baby. But when she told Craig about it, he responded slowly and concisely, "If you insist on having my baby, I promise, the moment it is born, I will take it away from you. . . . I will prove you unfit, emotionally unstable, and I will bury you."
Though they now wish they hadn't, Ms. O'Neill's parents also counseled her at the time to have the abortion Craig ordered, as did her doctor, who told her the baby was a blob of tissue. "I buckled under fear," she writes in her autobiography, Surviving Myself. "Deep down I knew it was wrong when everyone was saying it was alright. I hated myself, no question about it."
Ms. O'Neill's self-loathing ate at her soul for 18 years, until she committed her life to Christ in 1987, when "I saw real hope for my hurting soul for the first time." Still, 10 more years passed before she felt completely healed from the pain of her abortion. Then, in 2003, she became the international spokeswoman for the Silent No More Awareness Campaign. Since then she has written two books on post-abortion healing: You're Not Alone: Healing Through God's Grace After Abortion and Life After Abortion, a workbook and video set.
Now Ms. O'Neill travels constantly, speaking at pregnancy centers, women's conferences, and schools. She feels it's especially important to let kids know that there are options besides abortion in an unintended pregnancy, and that "esteem comes from God and how He sees them. . . . Kids who've made mistakes need to know they can start again with the God who gives second, third, millionth chances."
Like SNMA, other post-abortion groups-Operation Outcry, the Elliot Institute, and Priests for Life-are helping women speak out about the negative impact of their abortions.
"In a sense, it's kind of weird," said Ms. Forney. "How can you stand up and talk about your abortion? But the other side of that is when people break their silence, they're freed from being controlled by the shame of their abortions. They're able to open up to God's healing and forgiveness."
No second thoughts
Reacting to the stories of women who suffered after having abortions, a mini-movement of women who are unashamed, even proud, of their abortions has emerged. The "no regrets" movement includes the "I had an abortion" T-shirts that popped up at pro-abortion rallies last summer and abortion-story websites like the Abortion Conversation Project and I'mNotSorry.net. At I'mNotSorry, women have posted about 300 stories like these:
· "I am a mom of three wonderful children. I love being a mom. However, I had two abortions before I actually was ready for this job. I am not sorry that I chose to end two pregnancies. I am sorry that I became pregnant . . . I do not lie awake at night second guessing my decisions . . . I rarely think about it . . ."
· "I'm Claire, I've had three abortions. Regret = zero. My first was at 21. . . . A strict Christian upbringing almost succeeded in dumbing down my brain, but the father forced me to abort, as he did not want his burgeoning income eaten away by a child I couldn't support."
I'mNotSorry.net founder Patricia Beninato believes most women aren't sorry. She launched her site in 2003 to show that "contrary to pro-life propaganda," most post-abortive women aren't wracked with pain and guilt.
WORLD: There's at least one story on your site in which a woman said she's had numerous abortions. Do any of the stories that come in make you think, wow, that's taking "choice" a little too far?
Beninato: It doesn't bother me at all. One of the peeves I have is that there seems to be a mindset even within the pro-choice community that having to get one abortion is OK, but anything after that and you're a dumb slut who doesn't know how to use birth control. I often hear younger women say things like, "Well, yeah, the condom can break or whatever, but I don't believe in people using abortion as birth control." Um . . . abortion is birth control, just a more expensive and intrusive version of it.
WORLD: There is no longer a debate about whether a fetus is a living baby. Yet, a September 2004 Salon article notes that "most abortions in America are about convenience." Morally speaking, what do you think about that?
Beninato: It doesn't bother me. I believe in the Planned Parenthood axiom "every child a wanted child." We see all too often what happens to an unwanted child, the horrors that are inflicted upon them. Yes, a fetus is alive. But weeds are life and mold is life and bugs are life and we destroy those on a regular basis. Pro-lifers want to give the impression that abortion is someone ripping a full-term baby out of a woman's womb and dashing its brains out against the nearest wall, when in actuality the average abortion-nearly 90 percent-is done within the first trimester.
WORLD: You post your own abortion story on I'mNotSorry.net [under a false name]. Isn't your insistence that your own story remain anonymous at odds with your assertion that you're not sorry?
Beninato: I am not sorry I had the abortions. I never will be sorry I had the abortions. I am sorry, however, that I have to worry about my husband or family being harassed over my website, which has already happened. And you may look to your so-called fellow Christians for the source of that worry. . . . I have chosen to make certain aspects of my experience public, but that doesn't mean I have to make it all public.
WORLD: Do you think women who tell stories of pain and regret over their abortions are telling the truth?
Beninato: I have no doubt that there are women who regret their abortions. . . . But when you read the stories on the regretful sites, a theme starts popping up-"I didn't want to abort, but. . . ." And they start the blame game. . . . "My boyfriend said he'd leave me." "My parents said they'd stop paying for school." Never is it said that they made the decision. Until someone can show me a case where a woman was tied up, stuffed in the trunk of a car, brought to a clinic and tied down onto a table, I will always believe that a woman knew exactly what she was doing.

An ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of the inside of the body. A venous duplex ultrasound is an ultrasound that looks at the flow of blood through the veins in the arms or legs.
The test may be used for the following reasons:
There are no major complications associated with this procedure.
No special preparation is needed for this test.
You will be asked to lie on a table. Gel will be placed on the skin of your arm or leg, over the veins being tested.
The ultrasound machine has a hand-held instrument called a transducer, which looks like a microphone or wand. The transducer is pushed against your skin where the gel was applied. The transducer sends sound waves into your body. The waves bounce off structures in the body and echo back to the transducer. The echoes are converted to images that are shown on a screen. The doctor examines the images on the screen. He may make a photograph of them as well.
The technologist may push the probe firmly or softly against your skin in order to better see the vein and to see if it collapses under pressure.
You can get dressed and go home. Follow your doctor's recommendations.
The length of the test varies, depending on your situation. In most cases, it will take between 15-45 minutes.
In general, this test is not painful. You may feel some mild discomfort as pressure is applied to your arm or leg.
A radiologist, cardiologist, or vascular surgeon will read the images. The test results will be sent to your doctor. Your doctor will notify you of the results and provide you with recommendations.
After the test, call your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

|Misunderstood: living with paranoid schizophrenia
|Written by Jes-c Brandt
Dan Goddard wears his usual dark hat and glasses as he rides his scooter around Holyoke, but there's more to this resident than meets the eye. —Enterprise photo
It's not unusual to see this man, clad in a dark hat and sunglasses, riding around the city of Holyoke on his scooter. His name is Dan Goddard, and he has been living with paranoid schizophrenia for most of his life.
Paranoid schizophrenia is a mental illness in which an individual interprets reality abnormally. Often delusions and hallucinations are present and can hinder normal functioning. Despite all the inherent mental and physical difficulties when dealing with paranoid schizophrenia, Goddard says the hardest thing to handle is being mistreated by others.
Schizophrenia is an illness that is not fully understood. Goddard noted that even in his lifetime he has seen changes in the medical field's understanding of the illness, but the general public still doesn't know what it means to be diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.
People tend to have many misconceptions about schizophrenia. When new acquaintances find out he has schizophrenia, Goddard explained, they often assume he has multiple personalities. Perhaps this misunderstanding stems from the word's Greek roots, or maybe Hollywood is to blame, but the fact remains, there is a general confusion between dissociative identity disorder and schizophrenia.
Goddard's story is rather typical of paranoid schizophrenia. He was about 20 years old when he first suspected there might be something wrong. His behavior just wasn't quite right, he said. For 10 years he lived with paranoid delusions and hallucinations before he was finally diagnosed at 30 years old.
He first went to the doctor because he suspected he might have cancer. It was then that he was sent to Denver to see a mental health specialist and was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.
All Goddard's problems were not instantly solved with a diagnosis and medication. He continued to experience the effects of his mental illness for many years.
Paranoid delusions caused Goddard to think his house was bugged and that people were watching him everywhere he went. At times he blamed his neighbors and family members for the perceived conspiracies. As expected, this put a strain on his relationships, adding additional hardship to an already difficult experience.
It's hard for others to understand, Goddard said, that someone with schizophrenia cannot tell the difference between a hallucination and reality. When he had hallucinations of people breaking into a room to come after him, they seemed as real as any actual person.
As many sufferers of mental illnesses do, Goddard turned to smoking and drinking as a means of self-medication.
Finally, after many difficult years of delusions and hallucinations, doctors prescribed a different medication that greatly helped manage his symptoms. In addition to medication, Goddard began seeing therapist Shona Heim in Imperial, Neb. She has stood beside him, Goddard shared, through thick and thin.
Since getting a handle on his mental illness, Goddard's life has made quite the turn around. Although he still suffers from some paranoia, it isn't nearly as bad as it used to be. He also noted he no longer feels the need to use smoking or drinking to deal with his condition.
Relationships have continued to play an important role in Goddard's improvement. Having lived in Holyoke for six years, he now has many friends in the community. Along with his new sense of control over his schizophrenia, Goddard has also turned to Christianity. He noted friendships with Pastor Gary Rahe and other members of Zion Lutheran Church offer great fellowship.
Outside the church, Goddard has found companionship with friends in his group at Centennial Mental Health and at Meet and Eat. His dog Honey is also a close friend and companion in his daily life.
Life still has its struggles, Goddard explained. A bad back has him using a scooter to get around, and one of the side effects of his medication is sensitivity to light, which explains his dark sunglasses.
Overcoming paranoid schizophrenia was a victorious accomplishment for Goddard. "I used to be embarrassed to talk about it," he said. But as his therapist explained to him, paranoid schizophrenia is an illness, and he has no more reason to be ashamed than a cancer patient.
Now he accepts his illness and speaks proudly about not allowing it to control his life. It is his wish that people would view him and other patients with mental illnesses as people, not defined by their illnesses.
There has long been a stigma associated with mental illness, and as Goddard pointed out, it's important to remember there is a physical cause for mental illnesses and there is no reason for ostracizing patients with schizophrenia or other disorders.

Farniok Has Come A Long Way Since First Fall Camp
AMES, Iowa –Tom Farniok has visions of sandbags when memories of his first fall camp in 2010 come up.
As he embarked on his initial practices as a Cyclone, Farniok expected the tough training conditions and the initial shock that all rookies go through when they enter college football for the first time. What he didn't expect was the around the clock work of saving the facility he trained in from Mother Nature.
In early August of 2010, central Iowa was deluged with continuous storms and rain for three consecutive days. Finally on August 11th, the banks of the Skunk River and Squaw Creek crested at all-time highs, jeopardizing many of Iowa State's athletics facilities.
Preparing for the 2010 football season was suddenly put on the backburner. Preserving its buildings became the No. 1 objective.
"What I remember mostly about it was how smart the veterans were," Farniok said. "They didn't want to sandbag all day then go through fall camp. They were like, 'No way. I'm not doing that'. One of them got in his car and left and took a nap because they said if you weren't here you didn't have to worry about coming. His excuse was his car was almost out of gas so he had to go home. It was pretty funny. I wish I would have been smart enough to do that. I was a rookie, a big time rookie."
Farniok is a rookie no longer. In fact, the two-time All-Big 12 center, and soon-to-be four-year starter, will be looked upon to be a leader of the 2014 Iowa State football team in his senior season. His experience – 35 career starts, the most of any current Cyclone – and toughness has been a valuable asset for the younger Cyclones.
The Sioux Falls, S.D., native has come a long way since his first fall camp.
"I remember one day in fall camp my first year where everyone on the line got a little tic-tack injury," said Farniok. "Everyone went down so there was a day I took reps with the ones, twos, threes and then the freshmen reps. It was the hardest day of my life. I was just an undersized rookie lineman getting pounded by the ones and pounded by the twos. By the time I was with the threes, who I could actually compete with, I was so tired I got killed. It was the worst day of my life."
Since his humble beginnings as a rookie, Farniok has matured into one of ISU's best players. He's also a strong contender to become a team captain in 2014.
"I think it would mean a lot," Farniok said about being named a captain. "I've been a big leader for the past two years and it's something I am striving for."
Farniok won't make excuses for last season, but you can't hide from the fact that injuries decimated the offensive line. Farniok injured his knee in the season-opener vs. UNI and would be the first to admit he never fully recovered to 100 percent the entire season.
He wasn't the only offensive lineman to be hit by the injury bug. Six different offensive lineman sat out an entire game because of an injury creating nine different offensive line combinations in 12 games.
Farniok wants to put the 2013 season in the past and he has help from first-year offensive line coach Brandon Blaney.
"It was horribly tough," Farniok said. "It hurt because you are not able to play. No matter how good you are, you have a limited opportunity to take advantage of every chance you get. Not being able to be out there with your team and your friends was hard. You feel like you're letting everyone down because you can't go. Then when you're playing hurt, you still feel like you're letting people down."
Blaney already has made quite an impact with Farniok.
"It's awesome having a guy you know will have your back," Farniok said. "The biggest thing he stresses is that we are in this together. If [he] ever gets mad or anything it's because [he is] trying to get you better. It's not a personal attack on you or anything."
Farniok has already received his share of preseason honors, including a spot on the Rimington Award Watch List, an award given annually to the nation's best center. He will have help in the trenches, too. Farniok is one of six returning offensive linemen for the Cyclones who started eight or more games last season (Jacob Gannon, Brock Dagel, Oni Omoile, Daniel Burton, Jamison Lalk).
He's excited about going to battle with his teammates for one more season.
"It's pretty cool to go into the year with guys like Gannon, who's played next to you for four years now," Farniok said. "It's just cool being around the guys. You got a guy like Brock (Dagel), who started to play well throughout the year. Daniel (Burton) has as much potential as anyone in that room. He's just a massive human and that's exactly what NFL guys look for. He's got the frame work, the ability to move, the build, the potential. He's going to be pretty good when it's all said and done."
One thing Cyclone fans can count on next year is Farniok giving it his all on the gridiron every Saturday. We can also count on the crafty veteran for being fully prepared for fall camp. Let's hope his days of sandbagging are over, too.

Bait fish, minnow population down in Lake Tahoe
The largest freshwater lake in the United States is partly in California. We share that lake with Nevada. It's Lake Tahoe.
People come from all over the world to see the lake. It's a beautiful lake, so pristine, so blue against the alpine-like mountains that surround it.
According to experts, much of the pristine-ness of Lake Tahoe has greatly diminished. It's not as blue as it used to be. In great part, damage to the clarity of the lake can be blamed on the massive development throughout the region.
That decrease in clarity is what experts are claiming is the main cause for the decline in the lake's native minnow population, which has decreased significantly over 20 years.
Scientists from the University of Nevada and Miami University in Ohio have tracked the minnow population since 1988, surveying 26 sites around the lake. The minnow population has taken a 58-percent hit in that period.
Two minnow populations exist in the lake, the Lahontan redside shiners and speckled dace. In 42 percent of surveyed shallow water locations, populations have decreased from 24 percent to 100 percent.
There is and has been for years a great fishery in Lake Tahoe. Introduced into the lake by anglers, first noticed in the 1970s, there has been a sustainable largemouth bass and bluegill fishery.
These fish primarily munch on minnows. Bass and bluegill are thriving in the near-shore regions, primarily because the lake temperature has been rising due to climate change, the invasion of aquatic weeds and pollution to the lake due to development.
A great many fish that cruise the water of Lake Tahoe depend on the minnow population for survivability – rainbow trout, mackinaw, kokanee salmon, bass and even big bluegill.
Current fishing
Local salmon: The American and Feather rivers opened to salmon fishing, but don't get too excited. On the American River, only the waters between Nimbus and Hazel Avenue opened; and on the Feather River, only the upper part below Thermalito opened. Secondly, it's the time of year when there aren't many salmon to try for.
American River: The river flows have finally been cut, making the river accessible and fishable. There are still shad hanging around and always a fair population of stripers. Shad darts run near the bottom, and a variety of lures could easily attract a bass bite. Most of the action is below the dam, downriver to Sunrise.
Camp Far West: If it's fishing you want to do, it's best to stay away from this lake on weekends. Just too many water recreationists. Early weekday mornings and late afternoons, however, you can do well. The lake no longer is full with downstream water demands to farmers, but there's still a lot of water in the lake, especially for this time of year. Worming and cranks will account for a bunch of bass, but look for a whole lot of shakers in the mix. Catfishing is good now dunking the stinky stuff, cut bait and crawlers.
Englebright Reservoir: The lake looks more like a river, long and not very wide. If you beach your boat, use caution, as this is also big rattlesnake country. There are trout in the lake, but the fishery has only been fair. However, there are bass around the lake and nobody's trying for them. Several play boaters on weekends, so if you can get there on a weekday, do it.
Lake Oroville: The bass fishery is outstanding. A variety of topwater gear will get you bit early and late, using and popping something like a small Zara Spook. The Middle and South forks and the main body of the lake are kicking out big numbers of bass. Hit the main points and coves with worms, Senkos and jigs.
Davis Lake: The lake level is only about 90 percent, but trollers are doing good hitting 'bows 14-16 inches. Most lures have been attracting a good bite. Just keep switching lures until you find one to their liking that day. What they bit yesterday they could snub today. The boatless have been successfully soaking bait around Eagle Point on Power Bait and crawlers.
Stampede Reservoir: Kokanee are deep, as much as 80 feet down. Get your downrigger there and you're going to get bit. Use a kokanee imitating plug and drag it near the bottom, and getting bit by a mack is a good possibility. Hit the upper end of the lake — the Little Truckee or Sagehen arms — and you can get into a rainbow or brown bite. The browns will slam a Rapala while eggs and crawlers will primarily attract a 'bow.
Folsom Lake: It's a tough bite. If you get your boat off the trailer at literally the crack of dawn and toss cranks or topwater gear, you could get bit. There are several submerged trees around the lake still, so toss plastics around them and you should get bit. The good ol' backup of live bait – minnows and crawdads – will also do well.
Salmon: Pat and Karen Heaviside of the BRAGG-N at Fort Bragg tell me they've been doing well, mostly limits but one fish per person minimum with lunkers to 35 pounds. They tell me 30-knot winds are in the immediate forecast, which will not bode well for the boats wanting to troll. The bite at Bodega Bay and for the San Francisco Bay fleet has been overall tough. They've been picking up fish. You might be the lucky one to hang a fish, but it's a boat ride for most.
S.F. Bay: The fleet has figured out that to make it successful for the anglers on board, they can't target just one specie of fish. It will depend on factors such as the tides, but they'll fish a while for bass, switch to halibut and switch again to rock cod. By the time the boat returns to port, you may not have a limit of any one species but you'll have a good variety of fish. The good news is when the target is rock cod, there's been a really good bite of one of the most preferred bottomfish: ling cod.

May 31, 2016
Authorities have charged a Mississippi man with making and possessing ricin in the investigation into poison-laced letters sent to President Barack Obama and others.
U.S. attorney Felicia C. Adams and Daniel McMullen, the FBI agent in charge in Mississippi, made the announcement in a news release Saturday following the arrest of 41-year-old James Everett Dutschke.
FBI spokeswoman Deborah Madden said Dutschke was arrested about 12:50 a.m. Saturday at his house Tupelo.
The letters, which tests showed were tainted with ricin, were sent April 8 to Obama, Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi and 80-year-old Mississippi judge Sadie Holland.
Dutschke is expected to appear Monday in U.S. District Court in Oxford, Miss.
He faces life in prison if convicted.
His lawyer said in a text that she had no comment.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Animal control officers in Des Moines used a tranquilizer to capture a mysterious goat that had dived into traffic and was on the run for hours.
The Boer goat got a taste of freedom Wednesday morning as she evaded capture on the city's south side. The brown and white animal with floppy ears ran into traffic and eventually went into a fenced car dealership.
The Des Moines Register reports (http://dmreg.co/HfuQA4 ) officers chased the goat around the dealership before using a tranquilizer to stop her.
Officials say the goat appears to be healthy and uninjured. Authorities are now looking for her owner.
Last week, animal control workers in Des Moines took into custody a roughly 200-pound pot-bellied pig that had spent weeks on the loose in an east side neighborhood.

Cyclones Sign Canadian Samantha Budai
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State tennis coach Armando Espinosa has announced the signing of Canadian prep Samantha Budai. Budai will begin her career at Iowa State in the fall of 2013, along with Belgian Talisa Merchiars, who signed with the Cyclones in May.
"I couldn't be happier to add a great player like Samantha to our team," Espinosa said. "She has proven herself in both singles and doubles and is ready to work hard. She has a great passion for the game and will be a valuable member of our team. We are looking forward to helping her improve her game."
Budai, a London, Ontario native, is ranked No. 17 among 17-18 year olds in Canada. In 2012, Budai won a pair of open doubles tournaments and advanced to the semifinals of the U18 national championships.
As a singles player, Budai has had equal success, posting wins over a number of players ranked among the top 15 in the country.
Budai prepped at Sir Frederick Banting High School.

on a 26-7 run and led 37-20 at intermission. The Wildcats made 4-of-5 from
behind the arc and 9-of-10 at the foul line in the opening period.
The Bulldogs scored nine points before the first media timeout of the second
half but were unable to stop Davidson on the other end. Consecutive
baskets by Cochran and an old fashioned three-point play by De'Mon Brooks at
the 8:04 mark put the game away for the Wildcats.

I'm having issues with BES/ZCB. I managed to get everything installed and activated. However, after activation of the BB device. The controller service seems to stop working. ZCB/BES stops syncing and I would need to restart the controller service for it to sync again. However, after restarting the controller service, it will only sync once then stop again. Could this be a ZCB issue? OR BES? My setup is as follows:
new server: Win2k3 32bit STD, Office/Outlook2007, BB Professional, MAPI/CDO installed, latest ZCB, BlackBerryManager and BlackBerryServer profiles in outlook.
This is a new installed and I followed the instructions on both ZCB and BES.
Any idea? I tried searching the forum, and I saw someone also had this type of problem but the forum died down without any resolution post/reply.
How do I fix this problem?
I can send messages from BES to my device via PIN so I think BES should be working and problem might be in ZCB....

GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. -- Minnesotans first heard WTCN, which would eventually become KARE, on the dial of their AM radio. In 1925, the original call letters were WRHM-AM. Ten years later, Midcontinent Incorporated purchased WRHM. That company was owned by Northwest Publications Inc., owners of the Minneapolis Tribune and the St. Paul Pioneer Press Dispatch.
The call letters were changed from WRHM to WTCN, which was an acronym for 'Twin Cities Newspaper.'
The owners of WTCN were granted a license to broadcast on television Channel 4, and and signed on July 1st, 1949. In September 1949, WTCN TV and WTCN AM radio moved into new studios in the Radio City Theater Building, 9th and LaSalle, in Minneapolis.
In September of 1950, WTCN-TV (at that time, an ABC affiliate) broadcast its first live network program. The first coast-to-coast television program broadcast occurred one year later, with the signing of the Japanese Peace Treaty.
In 1952, WTCN-TV was sold to the owners of WCCO Radio, and Channel 4 became WCCO TV. Following the sale in 1953, WTCN and WMIN were granted a license for a joint operation on Channel 11. The two stations shared the channel by rotating broadcast schedules. Each station broadcast 2 hours and alternated between studios through the day. WTCN-TV and WTCN Radio moved into new studios in the Calhoun Beach Hotel in Minneapolis.
In 1955, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ruled that joint operation was no longer permissible, so WTCN and WMIN merged when they were purchased by the H.M Bitner Group. Two years later, WTCN was purchased by Time Life Broadcasting.
Time Life Broadcasting owned WTCN-TV and WTCN-AM radio until 1964 when the television station was sold to Chris Craft Industries. The radio station was sold to another company and renamed WWTC.
WTCN-TV grew to become one of the top independent television stations in the country. The success of Channel 11 attracted Metromedia, Inc., a diversified media company that purchased WTCN-TV in 1971. Construction soon began on new facilities in suburban Golden Valley.
In 1974, the grand opening of WTCN-TV's new "broadcast showcase" was held at the new studios in Golden Valley and was designed to include a major commercial production center.
On March 5, 1979, WTCN-TV became an affiliate of NBC's Television Network. To celebrate its first day as a member of the NBC family, news anchors Jane Pauley and Tom Brokaw broadcast The Today Show live from the top floor of the IDS Tower in downtown Minneapolis.
And then on June 11, 1986, Channel 11 was again renamed, this time KARE Television. The designation of W*USA was released for use by Gannett station WDVM, located in Washington, D.C.
Today, KARE 11 is a national award winning leader in local news and information that serves the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area, as well as greater Minnesota on television, online and on mobile platforms.
To date, KARE 11 has been honored 16 times with the National Edward R. Murrow award for journalism excellence from the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA).
In October 2010, reporter Boyd Huppert and photojournalist Jonathan Malat won their fifth National Murrow Award for Feature Reporting thanks to a story about a dying Minnesota teen's love of Pontiac Fiero's. The story called The Tyler Project, originally aired on KARE 11 December 8, 2009 as part of an ongoing series of stories by Huppert and Malat called Land of 10,000 Stories.
KARE 11's news team also earned a National Murrow Award in 2010 for Best Newscast in a large market for the 10 p.m. newscast, produced by Jennifer Young, covering the storm before Christmas on December 23, 2009. It is KARE 11's first National Murrow for Best Newscast.

ATLANTA -- The National Rifle Association on Tuesday issued its first statement since the tragedy in Newtown, CT, saying the NRA will offer some proposals on Friday "to help make sure this never happens again."
The NRA's "four million moms and dads, sons and daughters... were shocked, saddened and heartbroken by the news of the horrific and senseless murders in Newtown.... The NRA is prepared to offer meaningful contributions to help make sure this never happens again," said the statement.
Republican House Leaders met at the U.S. Capitol Tuesday, and then told reporters that many of the most passionate, gun-freedom advocates in the House are willing to discuss regulations.
Rep. Jack Kingston, (R) GA, was quoted by Reuters as saying, "There may be more support of discussion at this point among the pro-gun Democrats and Republicans.... Mental health is a huge part of it. No rational person squeezes the trigger in the face of a 6-year-old."
And in Atlanta Tuesday night, that's what State Senator Vincent Fort, (D) Atlanta, was saying.
Fort believes there now may be ways for gun-rights advocates and gun-control advocates in the legislature to figure out "a comprehensive approach," addressing mental health issues and getting at the causes of violence, as well as banning assault weapons, statewide.
"If it means people disagreeing and debating and discussing, and have a conversation about this, so be it. But to do nothing is a crime in and of itself," Fort said. "If we do nothing, I know kids, more children, will die. We have to come together."
Sen. Fort said he is drafting legislation now and expects to introduce it when the legislature reconvenes next month. He called it "a very complex issue" that is going to require input and ideas and solutions from both sides of the aisle.
"All legislators are troubled by this." Fort said. "The question is, will they have the courage to engage in a sincere debate? ....What I think we need to do is look at a whole range of options. This is a very complex issue. People on both sides, I think, need to accept that complexity, and look at mental health issues" involved with those crimes that have been "perpetrated by young men who have personality disorders, emotional problems.... One of the things in the state of Georgia and around the country, we've cut back mental health services. We've got to understand that the mental health issues, in dealing with them, are absolutely critical.... I think we need a comprehensive approach that includes looking at mental health, that looks at, you know, gun show loopholes.... And if we can do a ban [on assault weapons] in the state of Georgia, I think that would be an advance on this issue."

ROAM's suite of retail solutions offer something for merchants of all sizes. The SMB Retail Solution is a turnkey offering for small to mid-sized retailers based on the industry-leading ROAMpay application and secure reader hardware, while the Enterprise Retail Solution offers major retailers a fully customizable, integrated and PCI-compliant mobile point of sale system tailored to meet the requirements of their business. Examples of use cases for enterprise implementations are in-home (B2C) or remote business (B2B) delivery, sales, repairs and installations – especially where the establishment of, or changes to, an order need to be handled on site and in real time. Through integrations to existing management systems, POS applications and payment hosts, ROAM's enterprise solution enables real time processing of change orders through backend systems, onsite payment acceptance, and remote resource monitoring and allocation.
ROAM will also demonstrate the first in a new series of low cost EMV mobile card readers – the RP350x.

In exceptional circumstances and for appropriate reasons students may petition for an exemption/substitution from specific academic regulations. Forms for requesting an exemption/substitution are available online:
Students should first consult with their academic advisor, whose signature on the exemption/substitution form represents a recommendation that the request be considered favorably by the approving official. Department chairs are the approving officials for exemptions/substitutions from requirements within majors and minors. Exemptions/substitutions from academic regulations beyond major and minor fields (including core requirements) require the approval of the academic dean of the student's college. Requests for these non-departmental exemptions/substitutions should be directed first to the student's Academic Advising Office.
The guiding principle in considering requests for any exemption/substitution is fidelity to the academic standards of the colleges.
