Could your worst nightmares be coming true? Could it be that soccer is now the fourth most popular sport in this country?
NEW YORK (AP) -- The CONCACAF Gold Cup final attracted 41 percent more television households in the United States than the Stanley Cup finals clincher -- and that was just for the soccer game's Spanish-language telecast.
The United States' 2-1 come-from-behind victory over Mexico on Sunday received a 2.5 fast national rating on Univision, the network said Tuesday. That translates to 2.83 million households, nearly double the 1.48 million homes that watched the 2005 Gold Cup final between the United States and Panama.
This year's English-language telecast was on the Fox Soccer Channel, which is available in about 30 million homes and is not rated.
It would be interesting to see the overall numbers. Most people I know that watched it (English-speakers) saw it on the Spanish station because they don't get FSC or prefer not being able to understand the announcers.
Good, I hope it becomes third behind football and baseball.
If Congress rams through this "immigration" bill, it might go to #3. My sports are:
1. Football
2. Basketball
3. Golf
5. Hockey
6. Tennis
7. Baseball
8. Table tennis
9. Croquet
10. Lawn darts
12. Dodgeball
13. Swimming
14. Water polo
15. Horseshoes
16. Bowling
17. Coed softball
18. Soccer
As far as playing sports, soccer is my #1 and I know a lot of people played when they were younger. It's just a point of making that transition from not only enjoying playing but watching. Enthusiasm in the US is growing for soccer but it is definately not even close to what it is world-wide. I guess that is just one more thing that I will wait for in athletics along with Cyclones being an athletic power, the Chiefs winning a Superbowl, you'ld almost thing I was a Cubs fan...oh wait its worse...im a Royals fan. Geez, what is wrong with me!
Btw, im actually a die hard soccer fan!
I like soccer quite a bit, and was actually at the CONCACAF semifinals last Thursday. What really disappointed me was the fact that the crowd was 95% Mexico supporters (although in general a great crowd). I am really excited about the UEFA Champions League and Cup draws being announced this weekend. I know most people may have no idea what I am talking about, but it is awesome. It isn't all about the actual games, it is also about the organization, the communities and the team pride that goes into every tournament.
Pretty much with the way pro sports are in America, soccer is becoming bigger and bigger for me. Of course I hope ISU sports are still on (or at least near) the top for everyone.
Golf is well ahead of soccer in this country IMO. Tiger Woods is responsible for that, but the point still stands. I think soccer is a great game, personally. I've never been worth a lick at it, but it's not so bad.
ok fine, I break down and ask it, what is "CONCACAF"?
soccer kicked butt in first and second grade, but then came football (with the double 'o' - no 'u's)....
Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football - so says Wikipedia.

I think a lot of people generally have a negative opinion about soccer because they think it is a wimpy sport. That's a result of all of the fake injuries. (that bugs the hell out of me. if players would "man up" none soccer fans would have more respect for it.
That being said; soccer has more head injuries that Football, Basketball, and Baseball combined. Don't try and tell me it's for sissies.

For those that do like soccer and missed the CONCACAF the entire match is on youtube.
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KcMTKCtZlQ"]USA - Mexico 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup Finals[/ame]
USA's goals are at 37th min and 40th min if you just want to skip to those. Even if you are not a soccer fan you still need to check out the 40th minute goal...BEAUTIFUL!!
Btw, the foul on Ching was a foul...no matter what the announcer says the defender got his knee in there and took Brian Ching down in the box.

Spring 2016 Quick LinksSchedule of Classes
Online OrientationMandatory for some Online Courses
Course Syllabi
Welcome to Catalyst WorkshopsOptional for students new to Catalyst
Welcome to Introduction to Health Technologies, a course designed for all students who plan to complete one of
our twelve Health Technology programs. Allow me to introduce myself - Pat Hassel, instructor for this course. I have been a full-
time faculty member of the Biology/Health Sciences Division of De Anza College since 1969 and program coordinator of the
Health Technologies Department since 1984. I was an operating room nurse, cardiology and pulmonary staff nurse and pediatric
advice nurse prior to and during my teaching tenure. And I squeezed in one more wonderful job: I was a travel study program
coordinator for a local nursing magazine, traveling and teaching continuing education courses on cruise ships to Alaska, the
Caribbean, Greece, and Hawaii, in addition to teaching in China, Australia, and New Zealand, and Europe. So, now you know
where all my stories and examples will come from!
You can reach me by leaving a message on my voice-mail or e-mail and I will respond within 24 hours.
This course has three main objectives: discussion of advantages and disadvantages of working in health careers, reviewing
the specifics of the Health Technology courses, costs, schedules, and career opportunities, and discussion of human behavior as
it pertains to patients.
The first class will consist of an Information Meeting reviewing the 32-page Health Tech Information
Packet. These packets are available at the Distance Learning Center, LC-107, during the first week of the quarter. The
remaining teleclasses will consist of
reviewing career opportunities, program specifics and answers to the review and self-checks at the conclusion of each
unit in the textbook, Understanding Human Behavior.
There will be eight live teleclasses this quarter, plus a required assignment to interview an HTEC professional of your choice
who is working in your chosen field. More information is given in the syllabus and will be given in the live teleclasses.
Your homework consists of four assignments and three take-home exams, all of which will be included in a packet you
must pick up at the Distance Learning Center, LC-107, during the first week of the quarter.
This quarter you will have the option of viewing the teleclasses on your home computer via videostreaming. The following
gives you information on the hardware and software required in order to access this feature. Please see the syllabus for
directions on logging into Catalyst, De Anza's online course management system, for viewing the videostreamed lessons.
A high speed Internet connection is needed to view the videostreams. If you are connecting from home, this means a cable
modem or DSL.
Please note on the "Webcasts and Videostreams" page, there is a link toward the top of the page to the RealPlayer download.
If you do not have RealPlayer installed on your computer, selecting this link will take you to the RealPlayer web page where you
can download the software. There are also links to the Real website with system requirements and a "Test Video Clip" to try once
you have downloaded the software.
The quality of the videostream can be affected by Internet congestion on the De Anza Campus or network congestion with
Internet service provider.
Note: Videostreaming gives you as a Distance Learning student a unique opportunity to review previous lessons while the
course is in progress. Whereas you can only view Lesson 1 during the first week of classes, the following week you will be able to
access Lessons 1 and 2 and so on throughout the quarter.
Because this is a live class, the videostream of that Monday's class will be available on the following day, i.e., Tuesday of
each week that a live class is held.
Webcasts and Videostreaming
The video lessons for this course are also available as videostreams. If you
would like to access your video lessons from a computer you will need:
To access the videostreams go to http://catalyst.deanza.edu
and follow the logon instructions on this page. You will not be able to logon until
the first day of instruction.
If you do not already have RealPlayer you may download it for free. Some courses use Quicktime instead of RealPlayer. Instructions for downloading are in your Catalyst course.
Keep in mind that network congestion either at De Anza College or with your ISP can affect the smooth
delivery of the videostream.

UMass Ski Teams Finish Strong in New Hampshire
Feb. 19, 2006
HENNIKER, N.H. - In the final races of the regular season, Junior Eliza Hawkins (Shelburne, Mass.) led the women's ski team to a win with a second place finish, while sophomore Jason Small (Shelburne Falls, Mass.) also finished second to lead the men's team to a second place finish at the Colby-Sawyer Carnival Giant Slalom on Friday, February 17 on Sunapee Mountain. Hawkins and Small led the way again at the St. Anslem's Carnival Slalom on Saturday, February 18 on Pat's Peak. The Minutewomen placed third, while the Minutemen posted another second place finish. Eliza Hawkins finished the regular season in first overall individually in the conference standings. The Minutewomen finished second, and the Minutemen finished third in the team standings.
The Minutewomen had an impressive total of four skiers finish in the top ten of the giant slalom on Friday. Eliza Hawkins, who finished second in 1:18.51, was followed by senior Shaleighne Collins (North Reading, Mass.) in sixth (1:20.20), senior Lisbet Rauh (Princeton, Mass.) in eighth (1:20.29), and senior Erica Mains (Hudson, Mass.) in tenth (1:20.52).
In the men's giant slalom, the UMass duo of Jason Small and junior Rush Hawkins (Shelburne, Mass.) finished second in 1:13.68 and third in 1:13.79, respectively. Senior Pat Bachant (Hubbardston, Mass.) joined them in the top ten with an eighth place finish in 1:15.02. Freshman Alex Zahoruiko (North Andover, Mass.) finished in 22nd (1:17.34), and Patrick Hofer finished in 25th (1:17.99) to round out the top five for UMass.
The Minutemen managed to finish second in the slalom without placing a skier in the top five, and without Rush Hawkins, who did not finish his second run. However, none of the top five skiers for UMass finished worse than 15th. Jason Small led the way in sixth (1:31.87), and he was followed by Patrick Hofer in tenth (1:35.03), Alex Zahoruiko in 12th (1:35.63), Pat Bachant in 14th (1:36.35), and sophomore James Green (North Andover, Mass.) in 15th (1:36.88).
The Minutewomen slipped down to third in the slalom. The top three for UMass were Eliza Hawkins, who finished second in 1:37.75, Lisbet Rauh, who finished tenth in 1:42.49, and Shaleighne Collins, who finished 15th in 1:45.98.
The postseason for the UMass ski team begins next weekend. On Friday, February 24, Rush Hawkins, Jason Small, and Pat Bachant from the men's team, and Eliza Hawkins, Lisbet Rauh, and Shaleighne Collins from the women's team, will compete in the NCAA Slalom Finals in Middlebury, Vt.. The team will then compete in the ECSC Conference Finals on Saturday February 25, and Sunday February 26 in Waterville Valley, N.H..

Hi all,
I had several errors while launching CLI commands, and it turns all around a server certificate problem, for example :
Same error while entering the zmbackupquery command.Code:
[zimbra@myserver ~]$ zmhsm -u
[] ERROR: java.security.cert.CertificateExpiredException: NotAfter: Wed Nov 01 15:44:04 CET 2006
java.security.cert.CertificateException: Untrusted Server Certificate Chain

As I'm not a specialist concerning security certificates, I prefer to ask you before performing any action :
- What does it mean ?
- What can I do ?
I've then noticed the logger service was often down : each time I connect to the ssh console of the RedHat hosting Zimbra (every 2 days approximately), I see the logger down ...
Can it be a part of the problem described upon ?

I'll just need some opinion what may cause such errors, because the server became irresponsible which is really disturbing also it's getting me some mini heart attacks, since the information on our mail server is REALLY important.
Any help regarding this issue will be much appreciated. I'm attaching the EXACT mailbox.log into this message.
I hope so, there will be someone out there who can assist me in order not to allow this ever happen again to me.

Pinarello FP Quattro Easy-Fit Ultegra Bike - Women's $0.00
Simply put, the Pinarello FP Quattro Easy-Fit Women's Bike is derived directly from the Paris frame and incorporates the the same asymmetric tubing seen in the flagship Dogma—but it's designed for womens' shorter torsos. The side benefit to this design is that if your back is less than flexible, the Easy-Fit Quattro will provide you with an extremely comfortable pedaling platform. Built from 30HM12K Carbon (just a small step down 60HM1K carbon found on the Dogma), the FP Quattro won't disappoint when it comes time to destroy the field at Tuesday Night Worlds. Shimano enhances shifting bliss with their Pro Tour-worthy Ultegra drivetrain, while Fulcrum Racing 5s provide seamless rolling across the most chunky tarmac. Steering is nimble and smooth thanks to the Onda FPK Carbon fork, and stopping power is supplied by Pinarello's MOST brake calipers. Topped off with internal cable routing and asymmetric rear stays, the only thing the FP Quattro is missing is the Pro Tour price tag.
- MOST Croxover oversized bottom bracket provides flex-free sprints with zero power loss
- 1 1/8 to 1 1/2in tapering on the fork crown for greater rigidity and confident handling
- Shimano Ultegra crankset is stiff and light, and has the reliability of your grandfather's pocketknife
- Continental Ultra Sport tires keep the rubber side down even garbage conditions
- Asymmetric rear stays counter the forces left during high-power climbs or 200-meter sprints
- MOST TigerUltra 3K carbon stem keeps your cockpit stiff and responsive without the 'zing' of aluminum
- Slightly relaxed geometry won't send you to the chiropractor after a long ride

Looking for 1st Road (or possibly Cyclocross)...
Looking for 1st Road (or possibly Cyclocross) carbon bike; I'm 5'6", would I still need or benefit with a women's specific bike? I've been told that my height (torso) that I might be better off with a men's bike (my first mtn. bike, which is a different geometry, was only a 16" frame, and I felt too 'bunched up' on it; my current mtn. bike is a 17.5" frame, but because it's a dual suspension, I've little 'stand-over'.
Backcountry's 'Fit Calculator' says I would need a 52 cm bike (for a 30" inseam). So, unfortunately, this bikes' out.
Any other mid-range bike suggestions, to help me narrow it down, (around 4-6 K), lady's/gents?
Also, what's the best women's saddle, Selle?
Thanks for your help!
Since you don't know what size bike is best for you, buy your first road bike from a local bike shop that knows how to fit you. A bike that doesn't fit right is frustrating and a waste of time and money, regardless of how good a "deal" it may be. Once you have ridden for a few years and adjusted yourself to the riding position and adjusted your bike, you can upgrade if you want and you will by then probably know what size bike to get. Make sure you find someone at the local bike shop who knows how and is willing to take time to fit you. Have fun!!
PS - There is no "best womens saddle". You need to find one that fits you. See if your local bike shop will let you try a saddle and exchange it after riding a few times if it doesn't feel right. Performance does this, others as well.
Thanks, that's kind of what I thought, and certainly will do (as opposed to buying on-line!). Yea, no one really helped me figure out what size MTN bike to get; don't want to make the same mistake x2! Just wanted some experienced 'feedback', preferably from women, to see if there is a definite difference in the fit of a 'women's specific' bike...as many/most of the ones I've found interesting are NOT women specific bikes.
I just don't want to waste money on 'junk', ya know.
Thanks, again!

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations launched a new app to help people report tips about suspected child predators.
The app is another way users can report information anonymously to ICE. Tips can still be reported by phone or online as well. The app features photso and information about the fugitives in cases involving sexually abused and exploited children. Users can also receive alerts about wanted predators as well as get news about arrests and prosecutions of child predators.
ICE agents are particularly interested in finding a "John Doe" who is wanted for producing child pornography involving the sexual abuse of a 10 to 12-year-old girl. According to ICE officials, "The four videos show the prepubescent girl being sexually abused by an adult male with short brown hair and blue eyes. In the videos, the offender has a full beard and wears glasses. Both he and the child are seen in a room with wood paneled walls with framed photos, a black computer, desk with sewing machine and brown patterned curtains."
The first video surfaced in 2006, say ICE officials. Interpol found it and gave it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. Officials say "The full series was last seen by HSI special agents in Los Angeles in 2013 during execution of a search warrant." They believe he lives in the U.S. or Canada, but he could be anywhere.
Anyone with information about John Doe or the other fugitives profiled can call the ICE Tip Line 24-hours a day at (866) 347-2423 from the U.S. & Canada or (802) 872-6199 from anywhere in the world. You can also submit a tip online at www.ice.gov/tips/.

Fantastic Tent
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is a fantastic tent for the price. I bought it nearly 2 years ago and have used it *LOTS* since then. I am 6'1" and there is plenty of room inside and in the vestibules. I have five tents (from 1-person to 3-person) and this is my favorite (and least expensive). I use this tent on both solo trips and when going with a partner. I have used it along the California and Oregon coast and in the California Sierra mountains. It is extremely easy to set up and take down, and after all the trips I've taken it on it still looks like new. My son (6 ft. tall) and I took it backpacking last week in the NorCal Sierra's and were caught in a rainstorm at 8,500 ft. The drifter stood up to the elements and we stayed perfectly warm and dry while hunkered down inside for two days. When backpacking with a partner, the double door and vestibule design are perfect. My son and I were able to keep our gear separately in each of our vestibules and were able to exit and enter the tent without disturbing the other. The Drifter is not a huge 2-person tent, so it does get cozy inside when there are two of you. Be sure you know your partner pretty well before spending nights with them inside. My ONLY complaint is that when zipping the door open or closed, the zipper sometimes gets difficult to zip where the bug-netting meets the white-wall. This only seems to be an issue if staking out the tent too tightly (minor issue, of course). I am super happy with my purchase, have recommended this tent to family and friends, and would buy it again in a heartbeat.
love. this. tent.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
With double doors, a dry setup option in rainy weather, and the super simple and effective design, I am so happy we purchased this tent. It was sleeting and we stayed warm and dry; it was sunny and hot and the tent was nice and breezy. the setup is the fastest of any tent of this size I have used. great for a backpacking tent.
Mountain Hardwear Drifter 2 DP
A picture is worth a thousand words and a video is a thousand frames a minute.
Great tent for 2 very close friends...
I picked up this tent a few years ago and have taken it out on a BWCA/Quetico backcountry trip with a friend. We used it without the fly on clear nights and loved to be able to see the stars through the bug mesh. Having 2 doors in this tent is key so you don't have to crawl over each other to get out of the tent and each person can sit in the tent to put shoes on - definitely a sanity-saving feature. Having 2 people in the tent was doable on this trip but not ideal (especially if one person tosses and turns!) - for longer trips with the chance of bad weather (and longer time spent inside the tent!) I would opt for a 3-person tent. The vestibules on both sides of the tent help the tent feel a little larger than it is since you can keep gear / boots outside the tent and still keep them dry - the fly comes down nice and low to the ground to keep the rain out. I really like the design of the doors - each door has a single continuous zipper that is at the perfect tension so that you can unzip it with one hand. The design is nice and clean so the zipper doesn't get caught on anything either. This may seem like a weird thing to be impressed by but I was using a friends brand new tent with triangular door and the zipper became annoying very fast. I also like the simplicity of the setup design - just two poles in an X that get inserted into grommets. The poles are fairly light and strong. The tent and fly are marked with reflective tabs that you can line up easily in the dark which is another nice touch. I also like the neutral colour in case I'm doing some stealth camping. The only criticism I have is the gear loft frequently falls down because it's not taught enough. As with all tents I would size up - if you plan on sharing this tent with someone for an extended period just go for the 3-person.
DP = Dry Pitch
Check out Mountain Hardwear's new and extremely versatile Dry Pitch technology!
One of the reasons I got this tent was for the dry pitch (mainly so I could set up the tent using just the fly and mat when I wanted a lighter pack). However the footprint does not have a clip to hook the poles into so that they will stay up. I'm not sure if this is a flaw, or if there is some other way of doing it. I may see if I can order the same plastic clips that are on the canopy and switch them out on the footprint. This is on the Drifter 2.
leap67513. You should be able to unclip the "Jake's Foot" from which ever element of the tent you aren't going to take with you (the canopy in your example above) and re-clip it in to the footprint. That's how it is designed. I hope this info helps!

More than a thousand people hit the pavement Saturday morning with one goal in mind, to raise money to help find a cure for juvenile diabetes
The JDRF Walk For A Cure was held at the Greenville Convention Center. There was an outpouring of support there. Many people got together to create a team, fundraise and then walk.
WITN talked with a 6 and 1/2 year old named Brady Butler who learned he had diabetes around two years ago.
Brady helped his family put together a team, raise money and even designed their team t-shirt. Brady said, "I have diabetes and I want to help them find a cure."
Brady's Dad John said, "We're hoping that with all the money that we can raise that we can do something to make it better. Hopefully, they can find a cure, but if we can do anything to fund it to make it better then that's why we're here."
JDRF was founded in 1970 by parents of children with type 1 diabetes, with the mission to find a cure for diabetes and its complications.
Since 1970, JDRF has provided more than $1.6 billion in research grants at universities and laboratories around the world.
In a typical year, more than 80 percent of JDRF's expenditures directly support research and research related education.
Saturday's walk in Greenville raised around $165,000 dollars.

ON BASEBALL; Hits to Stop Coming Once Gwynn Is Gone
And then there was Barry Larkin. With Cal Ripken and Tony Gwynn announcing their retirements nine days apart -- Gwynn took his turn yesterday -- Major League Baseball will lose two dinosaurs, the two active players who have had the longest careers with one club. When the season and their careers end, Ripken will have played 20 years and 57 days with the Baltimore Orioles, Gwynn 19 years and 77 days with the San Diego Padres.June 29, 2001 sportsNews

BASEBALL; Another Day, Another Milestone
In what seems to be baseball's nightly milestone, Tony Gwynn of the San Diego Padres took his long expected place among the game's great hitters last night, stroking the 3,000th hit of his career at Olympic Stadium in Montreal. He was the 22d player to reach the 3,000 plateau and the first to do it outside the United States. Gwynn's first-inning line single against Dan Smith, the Expos' rookie right-hander, ended what little suspense was left after he hit No. 2,999 on Thursday night in St. Louis.August 7, 1999 sportsNews

SPORTS PEOPLE; Held Over in San Diego
Tony Gwynn , the Padre outfielder who won the National League's batting championship with a .351 average and helped the club make its first trip to the World Series, has signed a five-year contract that will pay him more than $500,000 in 1985 and more than $1 million in 1990 if the Padres exercise an option on him for that year. Lew Muller , a San Diego agent who negotiated the contract, said Gwynn received a six-figure signing bonus and increases that will escalate the salary to nearly $1 million during the 1989 season.November 17, 1984 sportsNews

We're so excited that over 25,000 of you have read about our first knit-along of the Tree of Life Afghan and that over 200 of you have commented. Since many people have mentioned that they are new to knit-alongs, we wanted to go over some basics of the knit-along with you.
So how do I join the knit-along?
Just download the pattern, pick up your supplies either at your local store or on our website, and start knitting! No need to sign up or anything. Just read the posts and share your thoughts with other participants.
How often will you update?
For this knit-along, Corinna will be updating the community every two weeks on her progress, but you can knit at your own pace! Knit-alongs are all about helping each other through a project, so we want to hear from you!

Teens must learn that they shouldn't drink
(Page 3 of 3)
K: Keep an emergency plan. Despite all of the above, incidents of underage drinking still occur. Don't naïvely assume that your children will avoid all social settings that involve alcohol. Come up with a code word they can say or text to you that will let you know they are in a situation where they are uncomfortable. That word is your cue to get them out of there.
If you have questions about talking with your kids, LICADD can help. Call (516) 747-2606 for free and confidential assistance.

Item # SHI000V
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Mountain Cranksets in stock than that.View Similar Products
Shimano XTR Hollowtech II 2x10 FC-M985 Crankset $0.00
If you like more gear options, the XTR Trail is for you. On the other hand, if you like to hammer out of the saddle and have little use for redundant ratios, Shimano's Hollowtech II 2x10 FC-M985 Crankset will fit the bill.
For strength and efficiency, the FC-M985 XTR Crankset uses Shimano's Hollowtech II hollow cold-forging process. This makes for a crankarm assembly that is both lighter and stronger than designs with solid arms. Adding to that, the outer chainring is hollow too, and the advanced 3D shape is stiffer and more resistant to deflection when making quick shifts up to the big ring.
Also, the chainrings are shaped according to Shimano's HG-X tooth profile design. What this means is that the shifts are optimized, and the simplification to two rings makes them fast and crisp. The XTR Race 2x10 comes in four crankarm lengths -- 170, 172.5, 175, and 180mm.
You can also choose between 28/40t and 30/42t configurations. It comes complete with an XTR Hollowtech II bottom bracket. The XTR Race 2x10 Crankset uses a unique 88mm Bolt Circle Diameter, meaning only XTR double rings will fit -- the Trail triple and 28/36t double cranks do not share this BCD.
Finally, Shimano gives the XTR Hollowtech II 2x10 FC-M985 Crankset a 6mm narrower Q-factor than the M980 Trail crankset for to aid spinning -- essential to cross-country efficiency.

One of the Best
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
While this is now the outgoing generation of the XTR crankset, they still are one of the best XC cranksets around. While everyone is going to a single ring setup, I still prefer having two rings (and somedays still miss having a triple ring setup because of the 46T outer ring).
These cranks are stiff, solid, and flat out just work. They may not be fancy and made from carbon but they can take a beating and keep on going. I've got a set that have survived three different frames over the past two years and they are still going strong.
The chainrings do wear out but with two rings the wear will be higher than running three rings. If you have massive legs and a VO2 like sled dog go for the 42/30 ring setup.

Video: Pretty in Pink
Video: Pretty in Pink
ATLANTA -- Beth Borden-Goodman calls herself the "pink diva."
"I sprinkle pink wherever I go," she said.
She's not your typical breast-cancer survivor.
"I'm not a survivor; I'm a conqueror," she added.
But she's fighting the same battle as thousands of other women, and doing it with style.
"Being bald was the best time of my life," Goodman said. "I would love to be bald today, but my husband and children are not having it."
She and her pink sisters got the chance to take a break and feel appreciated.
The Weave Shop gave free makeovers to 30 brave women - all breast-cancer survivors, all nominated by family and friends.
"We will be creating customized wigs, we will also provide sew ins," said Latonya Saunderson, founder of The Weave Shop. "Whatever the women want, we're going to give it to them."
The shop wants the women to feel as fabulous on the outside as they are on the inside.
"Today, you saw women crying while other women were talking; you saw women sharing their stories," said April Love, who has been in remission for four months. "Now you can see them sharing their beauty."
But the hair and makeup were just a small part of the surprise.
They got to hear from reality TV-star Towanda Braxton.
"Breast cancer has its benefits. I got new girls and I got to meet one of my girls that I love," said Goodman. "She's my girl in my head."
Braxton knows first-hand the struggle these women have overcome, a fight that many women lose.
"It is very personal for me," Braxton said. "My grandmother passed away from breast cancer."
She also understands how a simple day of pampering can forever change the lives of these courageous women.
"You don't have a choice but to feel good," Goodman said. "Because when you feel good, you look good, and when you look good-you feel better."
To nominate a loved one for a free makeover, email email@example.com.

I did a search and could not find anything on this problem although there are 7 pages of people with this problem on the Comcast forum. It seems that under certain circumstances you can not get off the preview email page to see your emails on the Xfinity (Comcast) site. Here is my last post to Xfinity
"You can probably stop blaming Comcast. I am fairly sure the culprit is Zimbra. It seems that Zimbra enterprise-class email has problem when linking with certain browsers and internet servers. For example, I can not get off the preview page using IE 9, Firefox or Google Chrome with either Windows 7 or XP in my office which has a slow link and an offsite server. This is with all cache and cookie cleared and only 3% of allowed usage. However, I can get into the email using Safari on my windows machine and the Address Book trick. I recommend anyone download Safari if they want to get into their email. At a Marriott, Zimbra works fine on all my browsers unless I go through a VPN and then I am back to only Safari. Until either Zimbra (Zimbra offers Open Source email server software and shared calendar for Linux and the Mac. ) fixes their software, or Comcast decides to change its service, you are stuck with what you have.
Suggest first try Safari, its free and only a slight pain it the A.
Change your email to Google or something else, bigger pain in the A.
Supposedly there is a new Zimbra release coming out soon, but who knows what it will do?"
ONe other item reported in previous posts is that at my home where I have Comcast internet service, I have no problems with email through either 1000T wired connection or n wireless.
Is there an answer to this problem from Zimbra?
All of us would appreciate any help from Zimbra however, you may not be aware of this.


text: I have iCal setup to add a default alarm every 15 mins before each appointment. By default it is set to the type "Message with Sound". Unfortunately this alarm type doesn't get passed though to zimbra properly. Anyone know of a workaround? For now I'm manually creating the alarms which sucks.

Washington, DC (Sports Network) - The Washington Wizards have had next to no
success so far this season, but they've been more than able to hold their own
in recent meetings with the mighty Miami Heat.
Behind 22 points from Jordan Crawford and a 16-point, 10-rebound effort out of
Kevin Seraphin, the Wizards registered only their second victory of the
campaign with a shocking 105-101 decision over the defending world champions
at the Verizon Center, despite a triple-double from LeBron James.
A.J. Price added 14 points and Martell Webster scored 13 off the bench for
Washington, which entered the matchup with a league-worst 1-13 record but have
now won two of three following an 0-12 start.
The triumph was also the third straight for the Wizards over Miami dating back
to the latter portion of last season.
James racked up game highs of 26 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists, but the
Heat never held a lead after the 5:09 mark of the first quarter in seeing a
six-game win streak come to an end.
Dwyane Wade finished with 24 points in defeat for Miami, with Chris Bosh
putting up 20 points and 12 rebounds in the setback.

I've installed Zimbra FC4 on FC4 on a machine that sits behind a firewall.
I can relay email outside. I can send/receive email on my "inside" class C LAN.
I can forward "outside" smtp traffic through the firewall to "zimbra" machine, but
postfix rejects the connections. The machine is multihomed (2 different IPs).
1) /var/log/zimba doesn't log unsuccessful smtp requests (?). How do I "up" the logging?
2) The admin guide says don't change main.cf directly, but not all postfix commands are
available through the UI. How can I edit main.cf directly?
Suggestion: add the zimbra version number and the component version numbers to the web console. Make it easier to ask questions.
Nice work on the product. Good luck in the marketplace.

Most athletes think of their "core" as their six-pack abdominal muscles. However, it is also important to incorporate training for the glutes and lower back when you're working on your core. Grete Eliassen does the Back Extension with Dumbbell Row exercise in the preseason to target her multifidus, glutes and lower back. This exercise trains the entire posterior chain.
Start with a back extension to target your lower back and glutes.
Next, squeeze your shoulder blades and bring the dumbbells up to your sides and then lowers them in a controlled motion.
Start with three sets of six repetitions with medium to heavy dumbbells for this exercise.

So I am taking my boy on my archery elk hunt this year. I got lots of good ideas and help from you guys on this venture. Then the real fun began....clothing shopping!
between Sportsman's Warehouse, Cabela's, Joes, Big5, and about half a dozen other places, as well as online....i just about gave up trying to find clothing like my own that wasn't going to put me out a grand for a single hunt.
I found the holy grail of companies, and they are located right here in Boise Idaho. Lucky Bums! They are a company dedicated to outfitting youth! Holy Jesus thank you and pass the biscuits!
i ordered their soft shell Jacket, soft shell pants, and a 1/4 zip shirt for him. They delivered it to my door in less than 24 hours. I have already acquired base layers, regular pants, boots, and socks. This outer layer was my nemisis, but this stuff is awesome!!!!!
by the way, sign up for their mailing list and you get an email with a coupon code for 35% off the first order to boot! I saved a ton of money here, and got exactly what I was looking for for his first year out!
They don't have much for adults, but oh my do I wish they did.
Hope this tid bit helps those like myself looking for good gear for your youth.
Happy hunting everyone!

Bargo set to find out fate in death of Seath Jackson
Published: Thursday, December 12, 2013 at 7:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 12, 2013 at 7:26 p.m.
Michael Bargo is scheduled to be sentenced today and learn his fate: life in prison or the death penalty.
In August, a 12-member jury recommended the 21-year-old die for his role in the 2011 slaying of 15-year-old Seath Jackson.
But the final decision rests with Circuit Judge David Eddy, who will preside over the sentencing hearing starting at 9 a.m.
Star-Banner staff writer April Warren will be live tweeting @Ajtwarren or #bargotrial. Updates will also be available throughout the day at ocala.com
