MADRID, Spain - Junior Lorenzo Brown and freshman T.J. Warren combined to score 45 points to lead NC State to an 83-76 victory over CB Torrejon on Tuesday. Brown, who had knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus in July, had a team-best 25 points off the bench, while Warren scored 20 in a starting role.
The Pack trailed 23-21 after the first of four periods, but Brown entered the game, sparking the Pack offense and creating defensive problems for Torrejon with his quickness. NC State outscored Torrejon, 24-16, in the second period to take a 45-39 lead at the intermission.
Coming out of the halftime break, Scott Wood knocked down three straight 3-pointers to push the State advantage to 56-45. Wood finished the night with 21 points.
The Pack continued to push the pace and extended its lead to 72-57 by the end of the third period. The host, however, would not go away. A combination of missed opportunities from the field and at the line allowed Torrejon to claw its way back into the contest, cutting the score to 79-74 with a little under three minutes left the game.
NC State fought of the rally with a bucket by Warren and free throws by C.J. Leslie and Tyler Lewis.
Head coach Mark Gottfried said it was good start for his team, but said the ultimate goal is the get a jump on the upcoming season.
"There's so much to learn with a team when you start in October," said Gottfried. "Sometimes it's four or five games before you learn about you team. The nice thing about having these games is, like tonight, the score and time became an issue and we had T.J. and Tyler on the floor and I wanted Tyler on the floor, so he could learn from that situation.
"It's a great trip for these young guys."
Leslie had 10 points for the Wolfpack, while Tyler Lewis had three, Richard Howell scored two and Jordan Vandenberg and Thomas DeThaey each scored a point apiece.
NC State faces C.B. Torrejon again on Wednesday night. Game time is 7 p.m. locally and noon on the Eastern time. Pack fans can hear the game on 99.9 The Ticket, HD radio or at WRALsportsfan.com.

Poughkeepsie, NY (Sports Network) - Jonathon Thompson went 9-of-11 from the
field en route to 23 points to lift the Rider Broncs to a 64-58 victory over
the Marist Red Foxes in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference tilt at McCann
Daniel Stewart contributed 12 points and seven boards for Rider (12-12, 7-5
MAAC) as it snapped a three-game losing streak. Junior Fortunat provided a
spark off the bench with 10 points and six boards while Anthony Myles tallied
seven points, seven rebounds, and five assists.
For Marist (5-18, 2-10), Chavaughn Lewis poured in a game-high 24 points,

Me thinks Broddick needs their own Twitter reality show.
The couple have been having a public "war of words" about a few of their musical guilty pleasures after A-Rod outed Brooklyn's penchant for bubble gum pop:
She, of course, retaliated by defending her questionable tastes while exposing A-Rod's love of a certain 80's crooner and some boy band dance moves:
When asked about the war of words with his wife in his post-match presser, A-Rod responded by saying,
What do you want me to say? I said I wasn't proud, but I'm not going to lie to anybody. I busted my wife on some of her ... music. She brought up Rick Astley. I can't deny it. It's in my iPod. I bet it's in your iPod, too, so shut up.
*throws iPod in garbage*
I have NOTHING like that on my iPod. Pinky swear.
On a side note, I'd die to see A-Rod pull a Justin Timberlake. But does JT pull at his junk too?

Mid-Michigan doctors have a new resource to help their youngest patients. Sparrow Hospital and Michigan State University have created a call center for pediatric physicians to contact health care specialists. CareMatch for Kids is a service center that doctors can call to coordinate specialty care for their child patients. Often children with chronic heath problems must see several specialists, which can be difficult for families to organize. The call center staff are trained to manage these situations, organizing a child's care in as convenient a way as possible. CareMatch for Kids is the first step in the consolidation of children's health care services that MSU and Sparrow announced in April.

San Diego, CA (Sports Network) - Ryan Katz threw for 190 yards and two
touchdowns on 15-of-29 passing while adding three more scores on the ground to
propel the San Diego State Aztecs to a 52-14 rout of the Hawaii Warriors in
Mountain West Conference action at Qualcomm Stadium.
Adam Muema gained a team-high 77 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries as San
Diego State (3-3, 1-1 MWC) ended its two-game losing slide. He also caught a
31-yard touchdown pass in the victory. Katz had 57 rushing yards and an average
of 5.7 yards per carry.
Sean Schroeder completed 14-of-28 attempts for 112 yards and a touchdown while
under center for Hawaii (1-4, 0-2), which lost its third game in a row. Will
Gregory carried the ball 81 times on his way to a game-high 81 yards and scored
a touchdown.
The Aztecs took an early 14-0 lead behind a pair of first quarter touchdowns.
Katz rushed 27 yards for a touchdown to put his team on the board. Adam Muema
punched it in from a yard out with 5:50 left in the opening period.
Katz broke away for a 34-yard touchdown run with 12:50 left in the second frame
to put SDSU up, 21-0.
Hawaii finally produced some points as Schroeder found Trevor Davis in the end
zone for a one-yard touchdown pass with just over eight minutes left in the
opening half.
The Aztecs answered right back with a six-play, 72-yard drive which was
concluded with a 36-yard touchdown pass from Katz to Brice Butler. Katz rushed
for another touchdown just before halftime to give SDSU a 35-7 advantage
heading into the intermission.
The Warriors scored their final touchdown of the game with 11:10 left in the
third quarter as Gregory trotted three yards across the goal line.
A 35-yard field goal courtesy of Chance Marden gave the Aztecs a 38-14
advantage as the game entered its final quarter.
Muema caught a touchdown pass and Chase Price rushed two yards for a score in
the fourth frame to bury the Warriors even deeper.
SDSU dominated, gaining 412 offensive yards while limiting Hawaii to just 173

We are considering installing an LDAP server on another machine to be used to augment our GAL. We have a list of contacts that we need to treat as external recipients (they cannot have accounts). We have these people in a data file and there is NO WAY to access the AD/LDAP server they were exported from. So what I need to do (and I am a newb to LDAP ) is setup an ldap instance with the data we have in the csv file. We will then change the GAL configuration for teh domain from internal to Both and then add this LDAP server.
My question is what is the structure (if that is the right word) in LDAP I need to coerce this data into so that it is picked up by the GAL?
Or is it a matter of setting the proper filters etc in the configuration to pull what you want? If so I still need to know the internal attributes etc that need to be assigned data so that things are picked up.
Is what we need to do possible or has been done before?
Any and all help is most appreciated!

The industry has also had to confront breaches in its historic omertà-like code of silence, as evidenced by last month's harsh public verdict of Pfizer's former chief state government lobbyist on support for health reform—"one of the worst self-inflicted wounds in the history of lobbying."
Suffice it to say today's task of managing the industry relationship with the external world requires more than money alone; resources are not the issue. Someone has to finesse a finer point, working the "social thermostat" in daily testing the balance between the convictions that can lead to the deep freeze of confrontation or the thaw that accompanies a tactical compromise.To fill that role, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) has tapped a new leader: John Castellani, who last September replaced the ace-yet-polarizing politico, Billy Tauzin. Castellani's skill in managing sensitive CEO egos to build a series of successful multi-sectoral coalitions as head of the US Business Roundtable helped him win the position at PhRMA, where he leads a staff of some 160 people administering an annual budget of approximately $200 million.
PhRMA—and Castellani—in effect serve as industry's global spokesmen, as PhRMA's resources far exceed those of its main counterpart trade associations outside the US. The European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA), which itself is embracing new leadership under the former Swedish association president Richard Bergstrom, and the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations (IFPMA) each have less than one-tenth of what PhRMA spends every year. "The cooperation from John Castellani and the entire PhRMA team on cross-border issues of interest to both our countries has been extraordinary," Russell Williams, head of Canada's association Rx&D, told Pharm Exec. "Ours is a global industry and we need to develop a more global approach to engagement in all areas. Partnerships are essential to demonstrating the value of our industry and our medicines and vaccines."
Pharm Exec sat down with Castellani on Feb. 4 to explore where he sees the industry going and to discuss his vision for the organization over the next three years. Excerpts from the conversation reveal him as refreshingly direct in outlining what's at stake if the US fails to maintain basic support for medicines innovation.
Is there a prospect for this diverse, creative, and high-performance segment of American industry to become just another low-margin public utility? Yes. And with the cumulative weight of bad regulation it can happen literally overnight. Does the slow global devolution of the US automobile industry provide lessons to Big Pharma? Indeed it does. Decline is guaranteed for any industry that loses sight of the basic principle of good economics, which is maintaining value for the customer. This is why PhRMA members are working so hard to adjust the business model to changes in that customer base, and how PhRMA has to prioritize to ensure that external conditions are there to help ease the transition. In Castellani's words: "To the extent this industry gets identified as being built around the premise of government payouts for an imitative, aging commodity—the pill equivalent of cash for clunkers—we're all dead."

text: By Jan RahnManaging Editor Winter returned last week, closing schools, stressing livestock and creating hazardous driving conditions. It happened again Monday, sans wind, moisture-laden, and no closures. Winter Storm Walda moved through last week; this week it's Yogi. More wintry mix was expected as the Tribune went to press. Last week's front moved in late April 8. What began as rain dumped about half an inch of precipitation before turning to snow in the wee hours accompanied by gusty winds. Blizzard conditions persisted throughout Tuesday, April 9, with most area schools closed. Interstate 80 and Highway 30 west from Ogallala to the Wyoming border were closed. A 35-year-old woman from the Panhandle was found dead April 9 from exposure after abandoning her stranded vehicle during the storm. Snow lasted into the next day, April 10, and schools around the region called for a late start. Typical of spring, the high April 8 was 75 and only 33 degrees the next day. Temperatures and snow patterns keep meteorologists guessing. More snow is in this week's forecast. Stay tuned for spring.

Residual Stress in a Thin Film Resonator - 3D
Application ID: 477
Surface micromachined thin films are often subject to residual stress. This COMSOL Multiphysics example describes a thin film resonator with straight or folded cantilever beam springs. The resonance frequencies of the resonator are affected by thermal stress. Using folded springs relieves this effect.
The example is made up of four models: two thin film resonators with folded cantilever beam springs in 2D and 3D, and two thin film resonators with straight cantilever beam springs in 2D and 3D. The folded flexures relieve axial stress.

|Info sought on tire slashings
|Written by Chris Lee
Holyoke Police Department is still looking for those involved in an incident that took place sometime Tuesday night, Sept. 4 between the 200 and 700 blocks of S. Baxter Ave.
Reports were received Wednesday, Sept. 5 about multiple slashed vehicle tires along the west side of Baxter Avenue in Holyoke.
Holyoke Police Chief Doug Bergstrom said there were eight different vehicles reported to the P.D., but through the rumor mill, there may have been more.
Bergstrom said the vandalism doesn't seem to be targeted toward any of the vehicle owners. It appears to be random as vehicles in both the street and driveways were hit along the six-block stretch.
The chief said some vehicles had one tire punctured while others had two. All of the punctures were made with a sharp object through the sidewalls of the tires.
Bergstrom said the first reports came in the 300 block and went up to the 700 block. Another report later came from the 200 block. It is unclear in what direction the vandal or vandals were moving.
As of Thursday, Sept. 20, Holyoke P.D. did not have any leads. They are willing to listen to anyone with information related to the incident and those involved.
Those with information may contact Holyoke P.D. at 854-2244.

The IRS deadline of April 18th is coming soon. File fast, for FREE with TurboTax Federal Free Edition.
After a miscarriage and a job loss, one lawyer fires back and, amid the brouhaha, finds her way.
ISSUE: Fall 2009
DEPT: My Story
STORY: Shinyung Oh
On Wednesday, April 24, 2008, I woke up at 3 a.m. When I went to the restroom, I felt a bucket of water gush out of me, as if from a popped water balloon. Sitting on the toilet, I was too stunned to cry. When I returned to bed, I told my husband, "I think we lost our baby." Even as I said it, I prayed that wasn't the case. We had been clinging to the hope that the baby was OK since 3 p.m. the day before when I started bleeding. It was the last week of my first trimester, and all I had been thinking until then was, "Just one more week until we're in the clear." Jeff held me for the rest of the night, between my trips to the bathroom to drain myself.
In the morning, we went to the hospital. As we had feared, the ultrasound showed a nearly empty uterus. We waited a few hours to undergo the procedure to remove the remaining tissue. Before the procedure, I emailed three partners at my law firm to explain why I wasn't at work. Only one of them — the one whose wife had delivered a baby a month earlier — responded. The others ignored my message.
After the procedure, the doctor advised me to stay home for the rest of the day. On our way home, I called my parents. I didn't know how to say "miscarriage" in Korean, so I said, "Mom, the baby died. The baby is dead." The sound of my parents' grief and befuddlement pained me.
When I went home, I threw my pile of baby books into a big shopping bag and shoved them into my closet. Next, I removed all of the pregnancy related entries in my calendar and inserted "miscarriage" for the day. Then I made myself a big pot of seaweed soup that my mom had made me promise to eat, and I sobbed as I shoved spoonfuls into my mouth.
After again informing my bosses, I stayed home the following Friday. I returned to work on Monday.
That Wednesday, a little after lunch, two partners walked into my office and told me that I was fired. Maybe I should have expected it, but I didn't think it would happen six days after my miscarriage.
Work had been slow in the office. The firm had laid off a slew of secretaries and had been eliminating one or two associates at a time. Even as people were getting fired, we pretended we didn't know because the terminated employees were bound by non-disclosure agreements. They couldn't talk about it, and we didn't want to put them in the uncomfortable position of asking.
Two months earlier, I had received an unexpectedly poor performance review. Although most of my ratings the prior year had been "outstanding" and "above expectations" and I had received positive feedback throughout the year, I had suddenly been downgraded in all categories without explanation. When I submitted a memo requesting specifics on where I had failed to perform and how I should improve my performance, the firm did not respond.
Just a week before my review, I had a one-on-one talk with the head of my department. Given the slow down, I wanted to know if I should do anything differently. He assured me that my work was "great" and that others in the department "love[d]" working with me.
I thanked him for the reassurance. "We all have our moments of insecurity, you know," I said.
"I know, Shinyung," he said. "And that is why I want to get it through your head. You are a great attorney. It's not because of your work."
When I asked him why work was so slow, he explained that the firm had priced itself out of its usual market with its rising billable rates and had not gained a foothold in the elite tier.
A week later, the same partner avoided my eyes as he gave me my poor review. Now, six days after my miscarriage, he asked me to sign a non-disclosure/non-disparagement agreement in return for a three-month severance. I refused.
Instead, I went home. After some moping, I started drafting an email to the partners of my department. It seemed important to point out that there are ethical ways of terminating employees. Blaming an employee's performance, when the decision was clearly economic, was not one of them. And making difficult business decisions did not require throwing basic human decency out the window. After thinking about it over the weekend, I sent my email on Monday to the partners of my department and the firm management. I clicked "All Associates" on the cc button, a recipient list nearing 1,000, and attached a copy of the non-disclosure agreement the firm had asked me to sign.
Within an hour after I clicked "send," I received a notice that my email was posted on a legal blog called Above the Law. Within a day, the post generated close to 1,000 comments. In the following days, I received hundreds of messages from people I didn't know and others I hadn't heard from in years. In the following weeks, the story appeared in The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. 60 Minutes called. Almost a year later, the story re-surfaced in the Los Angeles Times, and I appeared briefly on the Today Show with two "etiquette experts" who advised how to send farewell emails.
People have asked me if I regret sending my email. I think they assume that I sent the email in a spurt of emotion. But to me, it wasn't about venting, although it felt pretty good to get it off my chest. It was about calling out those who were abusing power, as I thought my bosses did when they mocked up my performance review to cover up their economic layoffs. And it was about speaking up for myself when wronged by a corporate bully, even if it meant getting bruised in the process.
But in some strange way, instead of a bruise, I got an unexpected boost. I have always been torn about my career. I am one of these people who went to law school because I didn't know what to do. I timidly wanted to pursue a career in writing but couldn't justify it to my practical side. Then there was the issue of parental expectations — and the guilt of an immigrants' child. I went to law school the way I took medicine, gritting my teeth.
After law school, I spent an inordinate amount of time justifying my career to myself. It can be intellectually stimulating. People treat you professionally. It pays incredibly well.
When I sat there across from my bosses — as they lied to me in the process of firing me — I realized more clearly than ever that I did not want to become one of them. No matter how much they paid me.
After I sent my mass email, as I resigned myself to the thought that I had thrown away my 10-year career, I found myself in a space I had not allowed myself to be in before. The space to think of a different direction. To free myself from this career path I had set for myself at age 24. And oddly, the act of sending that email gave me a strange confidence. I had never been the kind or person to bring attention to myself, but here I had screamed my head off in the conservative and cautious world of lawyers. And the ceiling didn't fall on me.
These days, I am working on my writing — through freelance work and my blog — while handling some legal work part-time. I also finally made it to my second trimester of pregnancy. We are expecting a little boy in October.
And at least once a day, I thank my lucky stars that I was fired.

Matson to raise rates and terminal charges next year
November 25, 2013 - LM Editorial
Matson, Inc., a leading U.S. carrier in the Pacific, announced today that Matson Navigation Company, Inc. (Matson) will raise its rates for the company's Hawaii service by $175 per westbound container and $85 per eastbound container, effective January 5, 2014. The increase will be filed with the Surface Transportation Board. In addition, Matson will raise its terminal handling charge by $50 per westbound container and $25 per eastbound container, also effective January 5, 2014.
Matson estimates that the combined increase of both the rate adjustment and terminal handling charge will result in shipping costs rising by an average of 5.5 percent. Historically, Matson announced average percentage increases based solely on the rate increase, excluding terminal handling charges. It now combines both numbers for the average percent increase in the interest of greater transparency.
"This rate increase will help offset rises in operating costs and support ongoing investments in our Hawaii service," said Dave Hoppes, senior vice president, ocean services. "The adjustment is consistent with our longstanding philosophy of implementing modest, incremental increases as necessary to maintain the highest levels of service, and is identical to increases implemented in 2012 and 2013. Matson continues to diligently look for ways to operate the most efficient, cost effective service possible, without undercutting our standards of quality."
Hoppes noted that In the past decade, the company has invested nearly $1 billion in four new containerships, fleet enhancements, new container equipment, information technology and upgrades to its terminal facilities.
As reported in LM, Matson announced that it has signed a contract to build two "Aloha Class" 3,600 TEU containerships for the company's Hawaii service for an aggregate price of $418 million.
"Matson remains committed to continuing to make long term investments that will provide the state with a modern, reliable ocean transportation infrastructure," said Hoppes.
Matson's terminal handling charge was first implemented in 2003 and is designed to recover a portion of the costs associated with the movement of cargo through terminals. This charge is standard in the industry and appears as a separate line item at the bottom of the company's freight bills.
"Terminal handling costs comprise approximately 40 percent of Matson's operating costs," said Hoppes. "Matson continues to absorb a substantial amount of the expenses associated with terminal operations, the majority of which are driven by factors that are outside of our control."

Adobe is actively supporting the development of the Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) to the HTML5 standard. We are working on implementations of the EME and its companion specification, MSE (Media Source Extensions) and have been regular participants in the task force working sessions and email discussions.
HTML has grown to include many capabilities which were previously only provided by browser plugins like Adobe Flash. As a result, more developers are choosing to build applications using Open Web technologies. However, there are applications that are not possible to build today without extending the browsers capabilities. The inclusion of the <video> tag in particular has been a huge step forward, but that capability is limited to playing unprotected videos. To enable the playing of protected videos like feature-length Hollywood films, developers are forced to rely on plugins or non-standard browser extensions. As Adobe supports Open Web development more and more, we need to find a way to provide this capability to developers. I believe the EME specification will help us provide this capability for customers using our Adobe Primetime products.
This EME specification provides benefits to multiple parties. Content providers will benefit from more standardization of the formats used for delivering protected audio and video, lowering their cost for delivering the content. Developers will benefit from easier and faster cross-platform development by leveraging the common Web stack along with the EME APIs. End users will benefit from being able to stay within the familiar browser environment instead of being forced out to standalone proprietary applications. End users may also benefit from increased content options, due to the lower costs to content providers I mentioned above. Everyone will benefit from the reduced API surface area (as compared to existing plugin based solutions) this exposes to malicious code on the web.
The EME working group has published its First Public Working Draft. We are working with the group to address the issues that have been raised so far and constructive comments are welcome. Adobe is working on our own implementations of EME and once ready, we will make them as widely available as possible. Adobe's goal is to enable more content to flow to more people on more platforms. I believe strongly that this effort will help us towards achieving that goal.

Hoxton man Sam Hallam to be freed on bail today after seven years jail over Finsbury murder
15:04 16 May 2012
Sam Hallam Campaign
Hoxton man Sam Hallam is set to be freed from prison after seven years following dramatic and emotional scenes at a court of appeal hearing today.
He has been in jail for seven years since being convicted of the murder of Essayas Kasshun who was stabbed on St Luke's Estate, Finsbury, in 2004.
The gallery erupted in cheers and screams of delight as Mr P Wilcox QC, for the Crown, said they would not be opposing the appeal.
Rising to his feet immediately after the break for lunch, he said: "We have given the matter anxious consideration over a good deal of time. We do not intend to oppose the appeal."
Lady Justice Hallett said: "Try to keep calm. We will make our judgement tomorrow."
Mr Hallam will be released today on bail pending the judgement.
Mr Kasshun was attacked by a gang of youths and died in hospital two days later. The following year Mr Hallam, then 17, was one of two people convicted of the murder.
Now 24, Mr Hallam has always maintained his innocence.
Friends and relatives convinced of his innocence joined in a pre-appeal vigil on Tuesday night. Crowds of people turned out at St John's Church, in Hoxton, despite the pouring rain and released hundreds of yellow balloons into the night sky to symbolise their hopes for his release.
Earlier today his barrister referred to "a case that was crying out for judicial intervention."
Lady Justice Hallett DBE, who sat alongside Mr Justice Spencer and Mr Justice Openshaw, asked the defence to focus on what she called the "three planks of the crown's case".
These were the testimony of a male and female witness and the question of Mr Hallam's "false" alibi.
The court heard Mr Blaxland QC, for Mr Hallam, question how the female witness had changed her evidence. He said: "There was nothing in her original statement – no reference at all to Sam Hallam. The police said there was nothing to suggest she had seen somebody she recognised but could not name. There was no Mr X."
The witness later claimed she had recognised Mr Hallam, and he said police had asked her leading questions to make the identification sound more positive in court.
The hearing continues.

12 Foods With More Vitamin C Than Oranges
Foods high in vitamin C
by Christine Mattheis
If you chug a glass of orange juice every time you start sniffling, you may be onto something. Though studies show that consuming vitamin C can't actually prevent colds, loading up on the nutrient may help slightly shorten the length of time you're sick and reduce the severity of your symptoms. But despite their reputation for being loaded with vitamin C, the 69.7 mg that a medium orange provides is actually less than many other common fruits and veggies. To pack the ultimate vitamin C punch, fill up on these 12 superfoods.

ISU Records Third-Straight Runner-Up Finish
BATON ROUGE, La.- The Iowa State men's golf team climbed four spots this afternoon to record their third-straight runner-up finish at the David Toms Intercollegiate.

Junior All-American Scott Fernandez picked up where he left off in the second round by firing a 2-under 70 today to finish with a 54-hole 215 (74-71-70) total. His score put him in a tie for third in the medalist race, his 16th career top-10 showing and the second of the season.
Freshman Nick Voke recorded his third top-10 finish of the young season by placing in a tie for seventh (73-75-69=217) after carding a 3-under 69 in the final round. Voke's round today featured three birdies and no bogeys. Freshman Ruben Sondjaja was 1-under today (71) to place him in a tie for 19th (75-75-71=221). The two freshmen standouts have combined for five top-10s in three tournaments this season.
Junior Sam Daley shot rounds of 78-71-74 to finish in a tie for 25th.
The Cyclones will finish their fall campaign at the Bridgestone Golf Collegiate on October 26th.

Corporate and Partnership Tax (2530)
This course builds on the Basic Federal Tax Course by introducing students to the fundamentals of business income taxation. The course begins with a survey of the tax considerations involved in choosing the type of entity through which to conduct a business. This theme will be revisited throughout the term as we examine the income tax regimes applicable to partnerships, corporations, LLC's and their owners. The course follows the life cycle of each entity from formation, through operations, to termination. The course will be useful both to aspiring tax practitioners, as well as those who are seeking careers as corporate lawyers or businessmen/women.

Hello all,
I'm relatively new to Zimbra just having been reading about it and getting ready to try it very shortly on a test linux machine. However, in playing with the demo's on the site I'm not fond of the current/default theme-skin that is used. Are there any other skins or themes available? Can the skin/theme even be changed to a more 'windows-like' feel?

I was at the game and just about puked. Not because of our pathetic play, but because of the pathetic support from PARTS of our student section. I moved down to the top part of Cyclone Alley shortly after the game started. There was plenty of room left. Many of the people around me sat for virtually the entire game. Many did not even stand up for the fight song or even many of the rather few occasions when most of the old people stood up. I yelled at some of them a few times to stand up and support their team, to no avail. They made next to no noise and participated in no cheers. Most of them left with 3-4 minutes left in the game.
There were of course a lot of students who were great and supported the team well. Most of them were in the bottom half of Cyclone Ally. I especially enjoy the guy that has made a habit of running around the upper arena circle. I'm also probably preaching to the choir as I doubt anyone on here would be part of the problem. On the whole though, the student section is pathetic compared to even a few years ago.
So you are saying that the 'old' student section would have just ROCKED THE HOUSE today?? Give me a break.
This game gave very few chances for the crowd to be into it.
Cyclone Alley is great, and the old way is gone. Get over it.
You are delusional, yes the fan support was poor today but the team was worse by a long shot. Students hold that place together!
--Luck of the Cyrish--
This is what they call going off the deep end after a sour loss.
What sucks is the fact that Hilton Magic is not what it used to be. 5-10 years ago, losing on OUR turf was NOT acceptable. I don't mind losing road games, but NO one comes to our house and makes us look like idiots. I miss the days when the crowds were always loud, standing and we would not lose at home.
There's a reason they are sitting towards the top of the Alley, they don't care.
This is why I personally don't get bothered by the students that don't show up. They are the ones that would sit on their *** the whole game and talk on their cell phone anyway.
The majority of our students are great so quit trying to find an illusional scapegoat here.
I'd say that your student spirit sucks if you don't vote because of a couple of fans who go to games when they don't care about the team.
"It's not my fault that an opposing player isn't as strong as me" - Marcus Fizer
Kyle, are you a student? I thought you were. If he is, then he should be able to say what he wants.
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.
I don't think the original post is too far off from the cold truth. The student turnout today was pathetic and nearly half of them were gone before the game was even over. I'm a big fan of staying to the final end of any game and I think it's even more lame that students who mostly can walk to Hilton from the dorms can't even stay for the final couple minutes. There were some obvious empty rows of seats toward the top of Cyclone Alley and ironically I had just read an ISU Daily article over lunch before the game that they had to freeze the membership because they are over 3000 now. Well where were all these folks if CA has become that big???
Students better start packing those sections full for every game else Pollard will be tempted to take some of those seats away and sell them to NCC donors who would pay big bucks to move back down into those sections that used to be for season ticket holders. I'm just 4 years removed from being a student at ISU and it just frustrates me how they've made the student section bigger and better with CA which I would loved to have had back when I was in school and now students are taking it for granted and not even showing up to games unless they are against someone like Kansas.
We all new this team was going to have its up and downs and growing pains. They still fought till the end. The willingness to cheer and excitement is there. Just not much to get excited about today. There will be better day.
The truth is that fan support almost always follows winning! Wish it wasn't that way but it is the truth. As CyBandCG stated...this was going to be a tough year regardless. We hoped our team would play hard and let the chips fall. That is what is happening. This is not the most talented team or best team GMac will put on the floor in Hilton. It is a process...and we are growing! The reality is that once our growth results in more wins...then the student section will rock! It will be the thing to do! The last couple of years have rally drained the spirit! GMac will bring it back! It wasn't going to happen over night!
The student section should rock regardless of wins and losses. Colorado had about 3000 fans in attendance for the game against us and I bet half of that was their student section which you could hear the entire game. You can't tell me that being a 4 win team before that game that the students didn't have a great reason to stay home and do something else but they still showed up.
I'm not trying to completely rip on our student section. They do a great job of standing up and cheering. This is more a rant on why the rest of the CA members don't show up and do the same for EVERY GAME. I thought the public did a great job of packing Hilton corner to corner today and guess where the most noticable empty seats were: behind the baskets both at the top of CA and in the balcony. This is why people get on the students for not showing up is because they make it too easy by leaving rows of empty seats then some b!tch about the location of the seats on top of it. I'd rather have so many students show up that they make it hard not to give them more seats because there is no room to put them.
I'd gladly trade you my 11th row corner balcony seats for those empty ones down in CA because I'd be glad to be able to stand the entire game and cheer loud instead of staying at home and watching like the ones that don't show. If I stood up the entire game where I'm at now I'd probably have some old farts calling for the ushers to get me to sit down.
Do we have one besides the KU and Iowa game?
Typical game from our students.
I was in the upper deck student section on the Cyclone bench end of the floor. I would bet over 60% of the people sitting there were NOT students. Cant even fill lower level of Cyclone Alley for a SATURDAY CONFERENCE game with a team who is 2-2 in the conf.
what a joke. Lets go back to the old seating arrangement.
The students continue to blow again and again, football and basketball.

I'm two years removed from ISU, but am now going to Drake for law school. I still like to sneak into the student section when there is room because I hate sitting at games.
The students are still the ones making the most noise and bringing the most magic to Hilton. I am usually a strong advocate on behalf of the students, but it is not what it used to be though. There are fewer people and a much larger percentage of them don't care. Its frustrating.
as a student, i would say that some of these claims are pretty unfair. it's hard to rock the house when the team only scores 16 points in the first half, and they way some of you are talking, it seems that you're implying it's our fault, what a crock. also, CA is on both ends this year as opposed to just one side last year. if it was the same way last year as it is this year, CA would be jam packed every game. what disappointing is that after every home loss, whether it be football and basketball, the students get ripped on even after we set records in tickets sales and CA members. thanks fellow cyclones

Doha, Qatar (Sports Network) - Former world No. 1 stars Serena Williams and
Maria Sharapova highlighted Tuesday's winners at the $2.369 million Qatar
The second-seeded U.S. Open and Wimbledon champion Williams flattened Russian
lucky-loser Daria Gavrilova 6-2, 6-1, while the third-seeded two-time Qatar
Open titlist Sharapova improved to a perfect 10-0 lifetime in Doha with a
6-3, 6-2 handling of French qualifier Caroline Garcia in second-round action
on the hardcourts at Khalifa International Tennis Complex.
Both Williams and the French Open champion Sharapova received opening-round
byes this week.
A second-round upset came when surging German Mona Barthel whipped fifth-
seeded fellow countrywoman Angelique Kerber 6-1, 6-2. Barthel titled in Paris
two weeks ago, was a finalist in Hobart last month, and headed to Doha
ranked 32nd in the world.
The opening round wrapped up with 16 matches on Tuesday.
In first-round matches involving seeds, No. 9 Marion Bartoli beat former
French Open champion Francesca Schiavone 7-6 (7-5), 6-3; No. 11 Nadia Petrova
erased Czech Andrea Hlavackova 6-2, 6-3; qualifier Ekaterina Bychkova toppled
No. 12 fellow Russian Maria Kirilenko 3-0, retired; No. 15 Italian Roberta

Sloane Stephens drubbed Georgian Anna Tatishvili 6-2, 6-2; and No. 17 Czech
Lucie Safarova cruised past Greek Eleni Daniilidou 6-2, 6-3. Petrova captured
the Qatar Open in 2006.
Meanwhile, Czech Klara Zakopalova was leading Varvara Lepchenko 7-6 (10-8),3-0
when the American retired on Day 2.
Several other women reached the second round, including Slovakian veteran
Daniela Hantuchova, Romanian Monica Niculescu and American Christina McHale,
who topped Russian qualifier Vera Dushevina 6-1, 6-2. Niculescu took down
former world No. 1 Jelena Jankovic 6-4, 6-1.
On Wednesday, current world No. 1 and reigning Australian Open and Doha
champ Victoria Azarenka will meet Swiss Romina Oprandi and fourth-seeded
Wimbledon runner-up Agnieszka Radwanska will battle Aussie qualifier Anastasia
Rodionova in some more second-round action.
Azarenka beat former U.S. Open champion Sam Stosur in last year's Doha finale.

WASHINGTON (USA TODAY)--President Obama announced on Tuesday that he has approved an additional $155 million in humanitarian aid to the Syrian people.
With the new infusion of aid, the President Obama administration has now committed $365 million in humanitarian assistance since the unrest against the Bashar Assad's regime began nearly two years ago.
"We're under no illusions," President Obama said in a video statement announcing the new aid. "The days ahead will continue to be very difficult. But what's clear is that the regime continues to weaken and lose control of territory. The opposition continues to grow stronger. More Syrians are standing up for their dignity."
The announcement of the new aid also comes as President Obama has come under increasing pressure from Syrian rebels working to topple the Assad regime and the larger international community for the U.S. to take a more active role in ending the bloodshed that has left 60,000 dead.
President Obama was circumspect in an interview published by The New Republic this week about the benefits of American intervention.
"In a situation like Syria, I have to ask: Can we make a difference in that situation?" President Obama said. "Could it trigger even worse violence or the use of chemical weapons? What offers the best prospect of a stable post-Assad regime?
"And how do I weigh tens of thousands who've been killed in Syria versus the tens of thousands who are currently being killed in the Congo?" he said.

At sea, the view of home from way Down Under
(Page 2 of 3)
Just today we stopped in Timaru, New Zealand, on the east coast of the southern island. I happened across the office of the Courier, the community newspaper of greater Timaru, population a few thousand. I got to chat with a reporter who said he supposed our president is better thought of in New Zealand than in the U.S. "People here love how he has reached out to the world," he said. He also told me that the story of the Newtown shootings was widely and thoroughly covered by the New Zealand press.
Our gun problem is incomprehensible here. "Only hunters have guns here," the reporter said. "You are not allowed to have a gun for personal use or protection … Our police do not carry guns."
There is no "gun culture," he added. "Why does your NRA have such enormous power over your elected officials?" Amen to that. The perspective from here makes clear just how unhealthy the relationship is between the NRA and the government.
Mass shootings are rare in other civilized countries. Here in Australia and New Zealand, guns are tightly controlled. And yet both countries have violent histories. Australia's native people, the Aboriginals, were nearly wiped out by English explorers and colonists. In New Zealand there are no full-blooded Maoris surviving. They were killed by white settlers and by one another since they landed here some 600 years ago. It is thought that the Maori people originally came from Polynesia. Fierce warriors, they came in longboats, then attacked, imprisoned and cannibalized the native people who had settled here more than 1,000 years ago.
Today public life in both countries is peaceful and relatively nonviolent. America is different. The history of shootings is long and horrible and, sadly, recent: from the assassinations of President Kennedy and Robert Kennedy and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to Littleton and Virginia Tech and Aurora and Newtown and Aurora again, and on and on.
The perspective of distance and time makes me realize that gun slinging is endemic to America, but that doesn't mean we can't try to change. To do nothing is to look the other way while another shooter gathers his ammunition and heads for the local school.

2010 Car Craft Summer Nationals - The '10 Summer NationalsWritten by John McGann on December 1, 2010 Contributors: Wes Allison, The CC Staff Each July, We Make The Pilgrimage To St. Paul For Our Annual Car Show Extraordinaire.
If variety really is the spice of life, then hold the cayenne pepper. You won't need any added condiments when perusing these pages. If you were at the show last July, you know what we mean-the Car Craft Summer Nationals runs the gamut of tastes and styles. If high-end Pro Touring cars are your thing, we had top builders shooting it out in the Real Street Eliminator competition. If dirtball, chewing-gum-and-bailing-wire builds are more your style, we had those guys in attendance, too. Slow touring? Check. Lowriders? Check. Pro Street? Of course. Bikinis? Only on the girls.
Here is just a small sampling of what there was to see this year. We have way more stuff sitting on CarCraft.com waiting for you to surf on over. Check out all the sights and sounds of the '10 Car Craft Summer Nationals.
Cool Boost
The Summer Nationals are never short on power-adders, and this year didn't disappoint. Here are just a few of the superchargers, turbos, nitrous, and even a Nitro big-block Chevy in a pickup. Would that make it a Funny Truck?
Real Street Eliminator was back again this year with the biggest number of contestants to date. We will highlight the competition next month. The QA1 autocross was open to anyone with a car on display, however, and we managed to stop by the course just in time to see this behemoth Expedition tearing through the cones. The driver was awesome at the helm of this barge, too, clocking times better than several cars. Thick, black diesel smoke would make Al Gore cry from 30,000 feet in his private jet.
Culinary Delights
Food is half of the fun of the Summer Nationals for us dopes from the land of bean sprouts and tofu. We marvel at the fried, grilled, and barbecued stuff like newly landed Martians to our strange, neighboring planet. Here are some of the goodies.
Smokin' Hot
Yeah, the burnout contest is cool, but the biggest draw is the bikini contest held on the main stage near the GM Performance Parts tent. We borrowed a cherry picker for the aerial shots.
Drive-By Shootings
Random stuff we saw:
Special Thanks
We wish to extend our gratitude to GM Performance Division. Without the company's support, we're not sure the show would happen. Thanks, guys.
Best Plates
We noticed lots of vanity plates this year. Here are a few highlights.
More to come
As stated earlier, there is way more coverage for you to scan online at your leisure. In addition to all the sights and sounds at the fairgrounds, we also shot about 14 cars to run as features throughout next year's issues. Here are a few sneak peeks.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Check out the massive F3R139 Procharger breathing into the 565-inch big-block in Wayne Fritchie's '65 El Camino.Wayne told us the combination is good for 1,172 hp at the wheels on 93-octane pump gas and exhaling through a full exhaust system with a pair of 2 1/2-inch mufflers. How could something so wrong be so right?Ace photographer Wes Allison spotted this old-school Autorotor/Whipple Charger twin-screw supercharger topping the port fuel-injected small-block in this '67 Camaro. Whipple was one of the first companies to develop twin-screw supercharger kits for the automotive aftermarket. The kit was a popular bolt-on for the TBI engines in Chevy and GMC trucks.This Chevy pickup, nicknamed the Violent Tyrant, was packing major heat in the form of a nitro-burning big-block Chevy. Jim Res (holding the Quick Detailer bottle) told the crowd it runs on gasoline most of the time. The 500-inch Dart block was machined by NAR Racing engines, and it makes 800 hp on gasoline and as much as 2,500 with a 30 percent mix of nitromethane. Longtime fuel Funny Car racer Dale Creasy Sr. did the nitro tune-up, and Jim has the full-time job of keeping all that AlumiFab sheetmetal work clean.We spotted a new item on the menu at perennial favorite Giggle's Campfire Grill: chicken-fried bacon...
Staffer John McGann eagerly coughed up the funds for a cone of Sweet Martha's chocolate chip cookies. We recommend buying the bucket, though. You'll need to accompany it with a lot of milk or coffee. No problem, they sell both at the stand.After all the judging, last year's Miss Car Craft, Chrissy Wood, handed the crown to this year's winner, Samantha Olmstead.Meet 11-year-old Alex McGaughey, probably the youngest car owner at the show. He bought this Firebird for $500 with the money he earned cutting grass. He's had it for just three months but had already swapped the rear axle by himself. He wants to build a Bandit car, and we don't doubt his success.

Fort Worth, TX (April 19, 2010) – There are many skills required to be a racecar driver, but probably none more important than having a short-term memory.
When Max Papis and the GEICO team arrived at Texas Motor Speedway on Friday it would have been easy to reflect on the negatives of their past visits to the 1.5-mile quad-oval. After all, their first visit in November 2008 found them missing the race and returning to North Carolina prematurely. The Spring of 2009 saw them sit near the top of the speed charts in practice only to end up finishing eight laps down in 35th place when the race concluded. Then when November rolled around again, Papis and the #13 GEICO Toyota Camry once again found themselves excluded from the race after failing to qualify. Once again, short-term memory is important because there is no getting past a racetrack that appears on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule twice yearly.

I'am using ZCS 5.x for a while running on Ubuntu 8.04.
After getting a new server, I decided to give ZCA a try, but I'am somewhat confused about the simplified admin interface.
Isn't there a way to disable services like antispam or to manager MTA Trusted Networks?
I'am getting why you guys stripped down the console, but wasn't this a bit to much?
Thanks and keep up the good work.

Hi there,
our ZCS 5 will expire soon. Because of a switch to a newer Mail Serversystem we asked us what will happen to the ZCS5 when the license expires?
I found a thread where this was discussed a time ago about ZCS6/7 but i didn't find information about the ZCS5 which was provided by yahoo at its time.
Is it the fact for the ZCS5 too, that it will run 30 days after expiration as before and then will fall back to Open Source version (without possibility of adding new postboxes etc. until upgraded to fully Open Source system)?

Some idiot named haney posted this:
"FEMA should be disbanded. The government has no right to interfere in natural disaters. The problems should be handled by state and local officials and private companies. All this enabling is rediculous."
I thought he must be kidding but then half the klan jumps on
praising his post and agreeing with him!
State and local and private companies?!?!?!
Is government's role simply to make smart business decisions and not protect Americans? If you agree with this , why not just do away with the military and let local and state government and private companies protect our citizens? Why did I risk my life as a teenager to fight for America?
The right wingers just get nuttier and nuttier.

Constitutionality is argued in Ohio court

Gambling brings nothing good to anybodys life. It destroys families at a time when the economy is at its worst. If the governement cant budget its money with all their educated politician, what makes anybody think that the people at these casinos are able to resist the temptation to get ahead-which they never will.
It shows little regard for the people everywhere. If govt could get it passed, they would legalize ******e if they could get 60%.
Why is crime up again?

Having read your article (Nov. 4, "Proposed tax hikes for Saugerties"), I am totally disgusted that the 2013 budget would include a $15,000 a year raise for the supervisor and a $10,000 a year raise for the highway superintendent while cutting back on programs for seniors, veterans and local youth.
In recent years so many of our hardworking, taxpaying residents have either lost their jobs, or been forced to commute (because businesses that paid decent wages either closed or relocated elsewhere). Others work without so much as a cost of living raise. Worse yet, the state's minimum wage is a measly $7.25 an hour! Yikes, even the government classifies it at poverty level.
So many of our friends and neighbors are already in foreclosure. Others are selling or just barely hanging on. If this continues, Saugerties will be a ghost town.

Greinke, Teahen receive awards
The Royals handed out some hardware tonight, and it was kind of like the Academy Awards – where one movie gets Oscar after Oscar. We're referring to Zack Greinke, who had one of the best months for a pitcher in Royals history. Zack and Mark Teahen received their Royals Player of the Month awards for April.
Zack then received his AL Pitcher of the Month award and his Major League Baseball Clutch Performer of the Month award. Congratulations to Zack and Mark on their April honors!
