The busier you get, the more stuff you forget, and navigating that mental clutter can be worse than steering through an asteroid field. Luckily, lots of intrepid galactic heroes have faced faulty memories, and created some handy techniques for remembering.
Here's a complete list of all the methods we found for jogging your memory from science fiction tales, from the least fantastical to the most. (The end of the list, sadly, includes some items that you're unlikely to be able to find at your local office supply store.)
Use an acronym.
Suppose you've got a beautiful blue time machine that goes by the ungainly name of Time And Relative Dimensions In Space — you can always shorten it down to TARDIS, which is much easier to remember. That's what the Doctor (and his granddaughter Susan) did in Doctor Who.
The same goes for Marvel Comics' super-secret spy organization, the Supreme Headquarters, International Espionage, Law-Enforcement Division (S.H.I.E.L.D.) The only problem with acronyms is, people will change what they stand for when you're not looking — S.H.I.E.L.D. now stands for Strategic Hazard Intervention, Espionage Logistics Directorate in the comics, or Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division in the movies.
There's also the General Unilateral Neuro-link Dispersive Autonomic Maneuver (GUNDAM), and lots of other examples, here.
Write yourself a post-it note.
This may be the most foolproof method out there. In Star Trek: Voyager, Chakotay falls in love with a member of a species that erases itself from your memory after a while — and also somehow deletes all computer records. To guard his memories of their torrid, torrid love affair, Chakotay writes himself a paper note explaining everything that went on.
Similarly, in Scott Westerfeld's novel Uglies, Tally Youngblood undergoes the surgery to become a Pretty — but first she writes herself a note explaining all the plans she made to reverse the surgery. Because she won't remember them after she's become a Pretty.
In the movie Push, Nick gets someone to erase his memories and the memories of all his friends, so the mind-readers can't follow their plans. But he writes letters for himself and everybody else, to help them remember at the crucial moment — and there are instructions on how long to wait before reopening the letters.
And this technique is also used by Gwen Cooper in Torchwood (with so-so results), Noah Bennet on Heroes and Kurt on Odyssey Five. There's a great list over at TVTropes.
Keep a diary:
This is one step further than just writing a little note to yourself. In Gene Wolfe's novels Soldier in the Mist/Soldier of Arete, the protagonist loses his memory every single day. And he doesn't realize that his ability to converse with gods, ghosts and other mythic figures is unusual. He writes himself a detailed diary, and the first line of it is, "READ THIS EACH MORNING."
Make up a song:
That's what Draycos does in Timothy Zahn's novel Dragon And Thief: A Dragonback Adventure. Draycos sees Jack being taken away on a spaceship, and needs to remember the words written on the ship's side — but they're in English, a language Draycos doesn't know. Says Draycos, "Alien symbols are difficult for one unfamiliar with them to memorize. But I am a poet-warrior of the K'da, and so as you were taken aboard the ship, I composed a song." For example, to describe the letter A, his lyric goes, "Two soldiers lean to, with joined hands." Or to describe the letter O, he sings, "Squeezed ring of fire, and what is more/A fire burns within its core." If you have an easier time remembering goofy song lyrics than unfamiliar symbols, this could work for you.
Leave yourself some objects to trigger a memory:
Make yourself a video:
Create a memory key or "memory palace":
This one is a bit more involved. In John Crowley's modern fantasy novels, the Aegypt tetralogy, we meet the real-life philosopher Giordano Bruno, who had created a complex occult memory system, based on assigning graphical images to different pieces of information, allowing you to access them easily later. One such scheme involved concentric circles, and could allow you to set aside tons and tons of information. The Aegypt novels include the adventures of Bruno, who becomes the librarian of the Secret Library of San Domenico, keeping track of the huge collection of heretical texts using his amazing memory powers:
He knew and remembered every book, where it lay in Fra' Benedetto's cases, who had asked for it, and what was in it. In his vast and growing memory palace, the whole heavens in small, all that took up next to no room at all.
Also, in Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show, Tzu creates a "toy cupboard" in his mind, among other techniques for creating an order for random facts:
He learned to memorize longer and longer lists of things by putting them inside a toy cupboard the tutor told him to create in his mind, or by mentally stacking them on top of each other, or putting them inside each other. This was fun for a while, though pretty soon he got sick of having all kinds of meaningless lists memorized. It wasn't funny after a while to have the ball come out of the fish which came out of the tree which came out of the car which came out of the briefcase, but he couldn't get it out of his memory.
The Mentats, or human computers, in Frank Herbert's Dune seem to use a variety of techniques, including memory keys (and sapho juice) to remember tons of information with perfect clarity. There's a Yahoo group where would-be Mentats have posted advice on how to train your mind to be as clear as that of a Mentat — or a Vulcan.
Tattoo yourself:
It works for the guy in Memento.
Take smart drugs:
It's pretty amazing what you can do with smart drugs, but in Woody Allen's story "Think Hard, It'll Come Back To You," a smart drug called Cranial Pops can help you recall any weird bit of information that may have gotten away from anyone, allowing you to be the hit of a party — until they wear off and you crash.
Use hypnosis:
Lots of science-fiction heroes use hypnosis as a memory aid. In Robert Heinlein's Citizen Of The Galaxy, Baslim hypnotizes his foster son Thorby, so he can memorize a coded message to the Space Police, as well as a letter to a space captain to help Thorby get off the planet. When Claire forgets her assault by Ethan on Lost, the castaways use hypnosis to help her remember, and Fox Mulder on X-Files uses hypnosis to remember his sister's abduction by aliens.
Wear video goggles or use image-recognition capability:
In David Brin's Earth, people wear True-Vu lenses that record everything they see, so they can recall stuff later. And in Amitav Ghosh's novel The Calcutta Chromosome, an object recognition computer can wring out all the details about objects you've seen. Science-fiction author Charles Stross suggests soon it'll be cheap and easy to store visual data on everything you've seen all day for a year, raising all sorts of questions about the boundaries between private memory and public records. Already, researchers have developed smart video goggles that will track what you see.
More way out solutions:
You could get a storage system in your head containing all the information you need to safeguard, as in Johnny Mnemonic by William Gibson (and the movie of the same name.) You could burn your own initials into your brain to remind you that you erased your own memory, like Zaphod Beeblebrox in The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. You could use Wonder Woman's magic lasso to restore your memories, if you know where to track her down. You could transfer your memories into someone else, like Data in Star Trek: Nemesis or Spock in Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan. You could record your memories, like the people in Strange Days, or the dolls in Dollhouse. You could use a de-neuralizer to restore your memory, like Agent J in Men In Black II.

Claiming that the "downturn is more or less over", the pre-Budget Economic Survey today projected an optimistic 6.1 to 6.7 per cent economic growth in the next fiscal and made a strong call for cutting subsidies.
While pegging the GDP growth at an estimated 5 per cent for the current fiscal, the Survey tabled in Parliament by Finance Minister P Chidambaram said "...the overall economy is expected to grow in the range of 6.1 to 6.7 per cent in 2013-14" as the economy is looking up.
"Controlling the expenditure on subsidies will be crucial. The domestic prices of petroleum products, particularly diesel and LPG need to be raised in line with their prices prevailing in the international market," the Survey said.
It noted that a beginning has already been made with the decision in September last to raise the price of diesel and again in January to allow oil marketing companies to increase prices in small increments at regular intervals. The number of subsidised gas cylinders has also been capped at 9 per household.
Predicting that the headline inflation will decline to between 6.2 and 6.6 per cent by next month, the Survey said that elevated food inflation would continue to remain an area of concern as it inched towards double digit in December 2012.
The Survey emphasised that efforts will have to be made to contain subsidies through better targeting and for reducing leakages involved in their delivery. One such initiative is direct benefit transfer (DBT) scheme.
It said the government has been calibrating pricing policies to addressing the issue of burgeoning fertiliser subsidy and underlined the need for according priority to food subsidy in view of the under consumption of basic food by the poor and the extant of malnutrition.
The government has sought to correct this through National Food Security Act though concerns have been expressed that this would lead to a higher subsidy outgo.
"However, it is a part of the challenge of prioritisation to provide for this basic need even as other items of expenditure are minimised," the Survey said.
The Survey said while India's recent slowdown is partially rooted in external causes, domestic causes are also important.
The strong post-financial-crisis stimulus led to stronger growth in 2009-10 and 2010-11. However, the boost to consumption, coupled with supply side constraints, led to higher inflation. Monetary policy was tightened even as external headwinds to growth increased.
The consequent slowdown, especially in 2012-13, has been across the board,

Macon police have arrested two men in a weekend shooting.
Police spokeswoman Melanie Hofmann says they've arrested 24-year-old Bernard Bullard and 18-year-old Markel Parks.
They're suspects in Sunday's fatal shooting of 18-year-old John Johnson III. Both men are charged with criminal attempt to commit murder.
Hofmann says the pair were arrested Tuesday morning by the U.S. Marshals Southeast Regional Task Force.
The attempted murder charge was put in place before Johnson died, but now Hofmann says the charges will likely be escalated to murder.
Police say Johnson was shot at around 12:30 a.m. Sunday while driving near Forsyth Avenue and Payton Street in East Macon. Police found Johnson in his car with an apparent gunshot wound to the head.
A police report says that the incident was gang-related.

Great win by the Cyclones today!
Needed it.
Great win.
But my goodness, what is wrong with our free throw shooting? I'll give them a pass for road games, but in Hilton?!?! Come on.
When Prepared, Fear No One.
Amazing game by Clyburn!
Needed this one. Bring on Okie State!
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
Great win. Now to face a dangerous OK State team.
Nice bounce back win. The boys played well overall.
Unpossible. I was told the season was over on Wednesday night. We weren't going to win another game, Lucious and Clyburn were lazy, that we might as well just quit.
That must mean that K-State is even worse than TT.
"That's what I do. I drink, and I know things." - Tyrion Lannister
"Success is just failure that hasn't happened yet." - life advice from Latrell Spreewell
Great win. Had to have it. Clyburn just kept having answers, great game, dude was everywhere. KL was great I thought. Niang being Niang....but Babb really gives us a chance in these games, totally dominating MacGruder....AGAIN. Babb owns that guy.
This should be called *** Official I Feel A Lot Better Than I Did For The Past 3 Days ***
Great win. I didn't think we'd lose coming into the game...but I knew it was a possability. We missed 12 FTs and still won by 6 points. That's a good and bad thing...but bad mostly IMO. Have to get back to making those! We could have won by double digits if we would have made them.
Soooooo net gain on the week? Big wins usually trump bad losses in the eyes of the selection committee.
Next game is going to be tough too...IMO that's a must win too.
A home win doesn't even out the loss to a terrible TTech team. We need an unexpected road win to do that. Maybe that will come Wednesday, but Stillwater has never been kind to ISU.

|Colorado whooping cough cases highest in 60 years
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
With 1,407 reported cases as of Dec. 8, Colorado's pertussis epidemic has exceeded the number of cases seen in the state going back at least six decades. The last time Colorado experienced this level of pertussis, commonly referred to as whooping cough, was in 1948 with 1,833 cases.
There was one pertussis death in October of this year—an older adult in Larimer County. This is the first whooping cough death in the state since 2005, when there were two infant deaths. Whooping cough is typically most dangerous for babies and young children but can affect people of all ages.
"Usually at this time of year we focus on reminding residents to get their flu immunizations, but this year we need to couple that with a message for people also to protect themselves and their loved ones from whooping cough," said Dr. Rachel Herlihy, director of the Immunization Section at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. "Immunization is the best method of protection against both the flu and whopping cough."
It is recommended all adults and children receive the whooping cough booster vaccine, Tdap.
According to Herlihy, it's especially important for those who have contact with young children to talk to their doctors about their whooping cough immunization status, because young children are more vulnerable to the disease.
In young children, particularly infants, whooping cough can lead to difficulty breathing, hospitalization and even death. Child care workers, health care workers, parents, grandparents and siblings of young children all must make sure they are up to date on their whooping cough vaccinations. Immunity to pertussis wanes over time, so booster doses of the vaccine are necessary, even for people who have had the disease in the past.
Whooping cough cases are distributed throughout 31 Colorado counties, with most cases reported in Jefferson (242), Denver (207), Adams (195), Arapahoe (160) and Boulder (158). The case counts are from Jan. 1-Dec. 8, 2012.
Individuals with whooping cough should avoid contact with others until they have taken five full days of an appropriate antibiotic and are no longer contagious. This recommendation is especially important for children who are in school and could infect their classmates if they return too soon.
In addition, people in close contact with someone diagnosed with pertussis should receive a course of antibiotics to prevent becoming sick themselves, or infecting others, regardless of age or immunization history.
As a provision of the Affordable Care Act, people with insurance can get immunizations, including the whooping cough shot, at no cost at their doctor's office. For more information on the act and preventive care coverage, go to pricelessprevention.org.
People without insurance may be eligible to receive low-cost immunization at one of Colorado's local public health agencies.

This was an upgrade of M3-270 to M3-299 and it went very smoothly. There were, however, a few questions arising from it.
1. The upgrade recognised that some port conflicts occurred (I run another instance of Apache & MySQL) but didn''t make any changes to it's config. Do you plan to allow the option to change the conflicting ports in later releases?
2. The statistics are all blank for the individual server but OK for the global statistics, this also didn't work in m3-270 either. There seem to be gifs genereted for the server statistics but still no gifs for disk as per this earlier thread
3. The upgrade disables the antivirus and anti-spam settings and the mail view is put back to the default of 'conversation' instead of my setting of 'message'. Will these options be honoured in future releases?
4. The admin login bug with Firefox 1.5 is fixed, but I'm sure you know that already.
Otherwise it was an exceptionally easy upgrade, well done everyone.

Not exactly scientific. How did they treat their devices? Were they left a lot in heat? Did the users follow the rules laid out by Apple to extend battery life?
Chris - I can name at least 20 people off the top of my head that I know personally who ended up trashing iPods, iPhones, iTouches and other devices with internal rechargeable batteries based on their inability to hold a charge. In almost all cases (except 2), they ended up buying a new device.
It's easy to say "I know 20 people" but not so easy to answer how kind they were to their devices. Most people don't pay attention to battery maintenance thus are the first to complain when the battery starts going bad after 6 months.
All I know is how I treat my devices and I don't have any issues with batteries.

Solar Thermal Energy: Viable solution for cold climates
IE Israel Club, IE Energy Club 05 de noviembre 2012
Did you know that over 40% of the total end use of energy in most developed countries goes toward water heating for sanitary needs and towards space heating? Could it be that instead of producing more "green" electricity, we should come up with cleaner ways to generate and retain heat? Are you interested in renewable energy, innovative ideas or entrepreneurship?
Zvika Klier, CEO of TIGI, will introduce the Honeycomb Collector: a new breed of solar-thermal (water heating) collectors that turns sunlight into heat.
His presentation will discuss the unique technology, the various applications, and the economic value of producing heat using Honeycomb Collectors. The presentation will be part lecture and part Q&A. TIGI solar has recently received many accolades for their innovate business including: Winner of interSolar award 2012, Techtour's 25 selected companies, and Global Cleantech's 100 Companies list. Don't miss this opportunity to learn about developing and running a a green company.

A lot of traffic at the home show in the Tallahassee Civic Center makes vendors and buyers more optimistic about the economy.
"So many have come by and talk to me already about future projects, I's been a really good turn out," said Bryant Skipper, from the Big Bend Builders.
"The people are different this year, a lot better sales, more activity, everyone is a little more optimistic," said John Salvo, from Salvo Pool & Spa.
"We're looking at building a new house, we're kinda just looking to see what everybody is offering," said Jennifer Williams, a Home Show Goer.
It's not just here in Tallahassee where people are more positive about building.
According to the National Association of Home Builders, the housing market index increased 10 points compared to 18 last year.
"A lot of people are serious about remodeling, about building, its a breath of fresh air after X amount of years of depression in the building business," said Bob Snyder, the Home Show Organizer.
Vendors, this year, have seen booming business.
"I think people are getting more comfortable with coming and spending a little bit of money, Lorne Reinstin, from Hi-tech System Associates.
"I guess the economy is getting better," said Salvo. "Everybody is just tired of waiting."

Ocala man, 25, killed in Belleview crash
Published: Friday, July 5, 2013 at 7:31 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 5, 2013 at 7:31 a.m.
BELLEVIEW — A single-vehicle crash on a two-lane Belleview road claimed the life of an Ocala man late Thursday night.
Angel Henderson, 25, the driver and sole occupant of the 2000 Dodge Neon, was killed.
Florida Highway Patrol troopers said the car was traveling west on Southeast 110th Street Road and coming out of a curve when Henderson lost control and went off the road. The driver's side of the car crashed into a tree, bounced away and stopped on the grassy shoulder of the road, near a residence.
Emergency personnel received the call at 11:34 p.m. Henderson was pronounced deceased by a Marion County Fire Rescue official at 11:44 p.m.
Troopers were notified about the crash, which occurred in the 7800 block of Southeast 110th Street Road, at 11:40 p.m.
Authorities said Henderson was not wearing his seat belt at the time of the accident. It was unknown if speed or alcohol was a contributing factor in the crash, troopers said.
The accident blocked the roadway for a little over two hours as troopers investigated.

Hello everyone,
I checked CC3 and I did an order. Its an impressive tool but my intention about CC3 is to use it to build a turn based eletronic game. So the maps created will board some kind of grid to show up the regions the chars can move freely. I have to calcule this spots somehow but I don´t to do this manually.
My idea was to build some tileset editor, thus I can create some squares to represent free move areas or some spots will trigger some items or something like that.
The regions marked obviously won´t pop up at the final map created.
Any suggestion, any tip will be welcome. At moment thanks in advance!

I'm sure this has been done before but does anyone have a list of college/pro football coaches (head and assistants) with ISU connections?
Off the top of my head-
Johnny Majors
Earle Bruce
Jimmy Johnson
Pete Carroll
Dave McCartney
Tony Alford
I searched and couldn't find this so if its been done before, feel free to merge.
Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.

I suppose I need to add Gene Chizik to the list.
Paul Rhoads was an assistant at ISU and I believe he went on to become a head coach somewhere.
Pop Warner
Marty Fine/
Can't think of his name for some reason but the old Ohio State coach also (after Earl Bruce).

Jon Cooper, played at Iowa State
John Fox and Dave Campo.

As far as depth goes though, the combination of White, Woodbury, Olaseni, Basabe, and Uthoff is much better than Niang, Ejim, Edozie, Gibson. Not because of the top 2, but because of the next 2 or 3. -DeanVogs
I can't find a reference to it, but seem to remember that Jackie Sherrill was on Majors staff. Can anybody confirm/deny?
Originally Posted by dunar

Yes...in 1968 where he served as an assistant under Majors.
From 1970-72, he was ISU's assistant head coach and defensive coordinator.
Looking at some old media guides I saved, also add Joe Bugel, former Raiders & Cardinals head coach
Steve Loney
Cardinals and Viking Offensive coordinator.
Nobody but HB knows for sure. You pretty much know nothing....like Knownothing would like to say.

1975 Chevy Laguna Project Car Power Tuning - Tuning For PowerWritten by on May 1, 2012 Contributors: Johnny Hunkins Don't leave money on the table! Here's how to use a SuperFlow dyno to maximize your new motor
Our supersized 427-cube small-block (See "The Anti LS," PHR Oct. and Nov. '11) seemed just right for our '75 Chevelle Laguna project car—big cubes and big power in a traditional small-block package. The amply proportioned Chevy NASCAR tribute just begged for the big torque and power that the large Dart SHP based small-block could deliver. With a dyno-tested 627 hp and 561 lb-ft of torque on hand, this engine combination had the muscle to make our Chevrolet fly. Though the major infusion of cubic inches had us anxious to hit the streets, driving it just didn't seem to meet the expectations. It just failed to hit as hard as the raw engine dyno numbers would have suggested. We seemed short on power, and our mission was to find it.
To get a handle on just where those 600-plus horsepower were hiding, we brought the Laguna to Westech Performance Group for a power tuning session on their SuperFlow Chassis dyno—which has the advantage of allowing both acceleration pulls and steady-state tuning via the unit's eddy current design. We knew from the engine dyno numbers that the big-cube solid-roller combination was capable of healthy numbers, but something seemed to have gotten lost in the process of installing the engine into Project Laguna. Figuring the missing power could be found in the tune, step one was welding a bung for a wide-band O2 sensor into the header collector for a close look at the running air/fuel ratio. Westech's Ernie Mena quickly had the bung welded in, and our Chevelle strapped down for a baseline look. Step two was pouring in a few bottles of STP Jet Fuel Octane Booster, which is a good idea any time you're tuning on the chassis dyno; this safety measure prevents engine damage should there be any unknown problems with ignition timing or a lean fuel condition.
After a short warm-up, the throttle was wooded for a pull, however, Mena cut out early at only 4,000 rpm, noting the air/fuel ratio running dangerously lean at nearly 17:1. Thank goodness we had the STP in the tank, or we could've melted a piston or beat up some bearings. Mena also noticed that the tip-in mixture was spiking lean as he rolled into the throttle. Clearly there was some serious carb tuning needed to satisfy our powerful small-block's hunger for fuel.
Opening the brand-new Holley 850 Ultra HP carb, we found the jetting at 84/84 front to rear. As an initial step, the rear jets were stepped up to 89s, then later on to 94s when that proved not enough. To aid in the tip-in enrichment, the secondary power valve was swapped from a 4.0 to an 8.5 unit to bring the power valve enrichment circuit into play earlier. Since the part-throttle mixture registered a reasonable cruise air/fuel ratio in the low 13:1 range, the primary side of the carb was left unchanged at this point. Surprisingly, the large change in secondary jetting had a relatively small effect on the fuel delivery, with the numbers still showing the big small-block thirsty for fuel. Rather than upsize the already rather large jetting, we next moved to the high-speed air bleeds, looking to increase the signal to the main metering circuit.
The air bleeds were swapped from 34s to 30s at the rear barrels, and we only found marginal enrichment, however, it was safe enough to let the engine rev out to 6,500 rpm, where we found 499 hp at the tire. The big-inch small-block was clearly coming to life. Tuning was definitely delivering progress, and we had plenty more room to go. Turning our attention to timing, we noted the 427 was running a full 40 degrees of total advance. Though there was no trace of detonation (thanks STP!), Mena suggested that it may be more than optimal. Dialing back the timing via a timing loop determined that 37 degrees was optimal, resulting in a power gain to 510 rear-wheel horsepower.
Though the power was coming in strong, the ratio was still borderline lean. We went back to the carb, looking to enrich the mixture to a safer overall ratio, while retaining the engine's newfound power. The tuning steps to follow were all aimed at delivering more fuel, starting with upping the primary enrichment with a change from 84 to 89 jets, and then to 28s on the high-speed air bleeds all around. Power remained at our previous peak of 510 hp, but the air/fuel ratio was only mildly affected, still recording over 13:1. Seeking to put the ratio in a safer range, Mena made a more significant change, reducing the high-speed bleeds in the Holley 850 Ultra HP to 22s all around. This tuning combination brought the numbers into the zone, showing an air/fuel ratio of 12.9:1 at peak horsepower, while the power number remained at our previously recorded best of 510 hp.
With 510 hp churned at the wheels, the Laguna was definitely making the sauce. The chassis dyno tuning session clearly brought out the engine's missing potential, and put the fuel delivery into a safe zone. Any small-block that puts out over 500 hp at the wheels is a serious piece. The chassis dyno tuning session let our engine's power potential come to life, and the safe tuning zone ensures it will be a long life indeed.

Dyno testing is virtually useless unless you can record the hard numbers. To get a real look at the operating air/fuel ratio, we welded an O2 sensor bung into the exhaust down pipe to enable the SuperFlow's highly accurate wide-band lambda sensor equipment.The basics before looking for any power numbers include checking that the linkage is pulling the carb to wide-open throttle. Dyno operator Ernie Mena finds a surprising number of cars with the linkage misadjusted.Jetting brought the mixture into a range where a full pull was possible, and the .688-inch lift solid-roller small-block cranked 499 hp at the wheels. The tune, however, was still showing numbers on the lean side of optimal.A check of the timing revealed that the engine was operating with 40 degrees of total advance. A timing loop revealed that it was over-advanced, with optimal timing coming in at 37 degrees. The reduced timing brought the power up to 510 hp at peak.One of the nice features of our Performance Distributors DUI dizzy is the thumbwheel timing adjustment. We dialed the knurled knob back to quickly set the timing, rather than having to mess with the distributor lock-down bolt.Among the 30 improvements to the new Holley Ultra HP carbs are the handy fuel drain plugs fitted to the bowls. In preparation for jetting changes, we pulled the plug to drain the high-capacity bowls of gasoline.With the carb richened via jets and high-speed air bleed changes, we were very happy with the peak power number of 510 hp (showing at 6,100 rpm), and confident that the WOT air/fuel ratio of 12.9:1 would ensure a long life. Our final fuel curve at wide-open throttle was nearly dead flat, validating the outstanding fuel delivery capabilities of these new Holley carbs.Operating the vehicle on the chassis dyno, a lean tip-in condition was noted when the throttle was applied. To bring additional fuel enrichment in sooner, the primary power valve was changed from a 4.0 unit to one rated at 8.5. This solved the momentary lean condition.Though our power numbers were looking good, the recorded air/fuel ratio was leaner than we were comfortable with. We moved the primary jetting up from 84 jets to 89, but found the carb relatively insensitive to jetting calibration. We then focused our attention to the high-speed air bleeds, reducing their size in steps until we found that 22 bleeds all around provided a WOT mixture we were happy with.

I am currently reviewing the ZimbraCSharpClient (SourceForge.net Repository - [zimbra] Index of /trunk/ZimbraCSharpClient) C# library. There is a namespace called, Zimbra.Client.Admin which has two concrete classes: AuthRequest and GetAccountRequest.
Based on the design, I understand that each concrete class represents a service in the Zimbra Admin API (http://zimbra.svn.sourceforge.net/vi...t?revision=841) .
I am considering to use this library as a means for a .NET application to send SOAP messages to Zimbra. Thus, I am working with the idea of expanding the Zimbra.Client.Admin namespace to implement portions of the API I plan to use.
However, I have not been able to locate documentation regarding the Zimbra CSharp Client library and thus am not clear of the original intent. It seems perfectly logical to expand the library to create and delete accounts, but it may very well have been designed to authenticate and retrieve user information.
I appreciate any advise or guidance. Thank you in advance.

placer country 10-35 foundation
Officer Needs Assistance at Thunder Valley Casino
The Placer County 10-35 Foundation's Thunder in November charity drive took over Thunder Valley Casino's Pano Hall on Saturday as the Chris Gardner Band, Road 88 and special guest Jeff Keith performed to a charitable crowd.
The Placer County 10-35 Foundation was created in 2011 as a non-profit charity designed to assist the men & women of Placer County law enforcement. The Foundation is a fraternal & benevolent association chartered to assist Placer County peace officers in times of great personal and organizational tragedy.
10-35 is part of law enforcement's 10-code which means officer needs assistance.
Road 88 opened the show with lead singer Rachel Steele belting out Gretchen Wilson's "All Jacked Up" and Emmylou Harris' "One More Bottle of Wine."
Joining founding members Rachel Steele (vocals) and Scott Prentice (guitar/vocals) were Billy Haggard (guitar), Charlie McGimsey (drums), Todd Prout (bass), Paul Southerland (lap/pedal steel, dobro) and Maggie Keith (backup vocals).
Road 88 was flawless in their delivery as one would expect from a band that was voted #1 in the Best Local Band category for the second year in a row on KCRA's A-List.
Towards the end of their set Steele brought Tesla's lead singer Jeff Keith on stage to sing a country song.
Yes pardner you heard right! Jeff Keith comes strutting out looking cuter than a junebug in a jumpsuit, donning, of all things, a cowboy hat. Y'all wouldn't have believe it.
After some wild applause and a collective gasp from the audience, Keith went on to explain that he was still with Tesla and all was good with the band, but he was pursuing a lifelong dream of singing country music. His new CD Jeff Keith and Country Music Friends, is due out on November 9th, featuring Kent Goodson and Pat Boone from The George Jones band.
With his best country voice, Keith went on to sing George Jones' "Grand Tour," as the crowd cheered him on.
As one would have expected, Keith's chops were flawless and, surprisingly, he sounded like a genuine country star. Who'd have thunk it!
Stay tuned for a complete review of his new album.
In between sets Jim Hudson with the Placer County 10-35 foundation announced the winners of their silent auction for an autographed guitar signed by REO Speedwagon (Katie was the winner), and an autographed guitar signed by Road 88 and Jeff Keith(Diana was the winner). Katie insisted that she get a picture after the show with Chris Gardner and her newly acquired guitar.
The Chris Gardner Band kicked their set off with Alabama's "Mountain Music" and Luke Bryan's "Rain is a Good Thing," as droves of people made their way to the dance floor.
Lead singer Chris Gardner was joined by Dwight Hogan (bass), Aaron Shively (lead guitar), Joey Gonzales (drums), Nikko Vargas (rhythm guitar), and Shawn Holiday (keyboard).
While Road 88 had a solid set, the Chris Gardner Band was able to pack the dance floor as they continued playing "Something Like That" and "Dixieland Delight."
This was a fun and successful event. Expect to see Thunder in November II next year!

Ned Yost Media Session: May 15
RAIN DELAY UPDATE: We are expecting to start the game at 7:10 p.m.
With his first day and win as Royals manager in the books, Ned Yost addressed the Kansas City media this afternoon. Yost was excited about the first 24 hours in Kansas City, stating that much of what he has been working on to this point was getting his staff organized and communicating his coaching philosophy to staff and players.
Yost was asked about his bullpen and how he plans on using it. He responded by saying that to this point the bullpen is still a little unsettled and that late inning roles tend to define themselves. Yost stated that he will consider using Royals closer Joakim Soria in four-out situations; but believes that closers are at their best when they are used for only three outs. Yost reaffirmed that everyone is starting with a clean slate; he approaches his bullpen under the mindset that everyone will be successful at their jobs and won't change that thinking unless proven otherwise. When asked on situational use of late-inning arms, Yost said he doesn't restrict himself to the conventional lefty-lefty or righty-righty matchups. Some situations will require going by the numbers and others will call Yost to go with his 'gut'. Ultimately, Yost said he will manage each situation in order to win the ballgame and not just cover himself and go by the book.
Yost was also asked to comment on his role players and how he views the second base job. Yost said his primary concern is to find playing time for Kila Ka'aihue, Willie Bloomquist, Chris Getz, and Brayan Pena. Yost understands the difficulty of their roles on this team, but told them to always be prepared to perform when called upon. Yost also stated that infielder Mike Aviles' hot bat will continue to find him in the lineup at second base.

MIDDLEBOURNE - Tyler Consolidated won't be one of the 16 teams invited to the West Virginia Class A postseason party.
But you'd never know it by watching the Silver Knights on Friday night.
Alex Doak scored four touchdowns - two receiving, one rushing and one on the second-half kickoff - as Tyler Consolidated ended its season with a 40-26 triumph against Bishop Donahue at Tyler Consolidated High School.
Article Photos
Tyler Consolidated's Alex Doak runs in for a touchdown against the Bishops.
''I'm just so glad for our seniors,'' Silver Knights coach Rob Caldwell said in a raucous locker room. ''We got the win for them.''
Doak and quarterback Hunter LeMasters - two of Caldwell's seniors - worked their magic one last time. Doak caught six passes for 146 yards. LeMasters finished 13 of 28 for 230 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions.
''Those two have been carrying us lately,'' Caldwell said. ''Hunter and Alex are two good competitors and when they get out there on Friday nights they like to shine.''
While Tyler Consolidated (4-6) finished its season with two straight victories, the Bishops (6-4) ended the regular season with back-to-back losses.
Bishop Donahue entered Friday tied for 15th with Moorefield in the Class A ratings. Now, Coach John Durdines and his players will have to crunch the numbers today to see if they'll make it.
''I don't know how that will work out,'' Durdines said.
The Bishops turned the ball over five times (four fumbles), one week after committing eight miscues in a 10-point loss against Wheeling Central.
While Durdines was pleased with the effort, he was disappointed with the execution.
''They never gave up and that's what they've always done,'' he said.
''But turnovers and penalties have been our Achilles heel all season long. We knew coming in with Saquan (Hill) not able to play (ankle), we had to find different ways to do things.''
Durdines said he warned his team earlier this week Tyler Consolidated wasn't your typical 3-6 club.
''And they came out and made plays,'' Durdines said. ''I give Coach Caldwell and his team all of the credit. For some reason they wanted it more than we did.
''We need to be able to respond. We need to have better emotion and that's my fault.''
Bishop jumped ahead early when Lavonte Hampton returned a punt 36 yards for a score.
But the Silver Knights scored 13 unanswered to take a 13-6 advantage. Levi Henderson hauled in a 20-yard pass from LeMasters midway through the first. Then, with less than a minute left in the quarter, Doak scored the first of his TDs on an 18-yard scamper.
Doak went on two score twice in the second quarter as Tyler Consolidated built a 26-12 halftime lead. The final TD came on a 7-yard toss from LeMasters with 20.6 ticks left in the half.
It didn't take long for Doak to score again. He took the second-half kickoff and raced 78 yards to paydirt to increase the lead to 33-12.
From there, Caldwell's defense took over.
''We told them all week we had to hit them hard and, by golly, they listened and did that,'' Caldwell said. ''I thought our defense played really well. They've played really well for a few weeks.''
The victory was somewhat bittersweet for Caldwell, who's stepping down after nine seasons.
Caldwell, who succeeded John Stender on the Silver Knights sideline, led the program to one playoff berth (2008) and four 5-5 campaigns.
Longtime assistant Terry Snively - the former coach at River - is also leaving.
Caldwell cited recurring back problems - he had surgery following the 2011 season - and his two daughters as reasons for stepping away.
His resignation has been accepted by the Wetzel County Board of Education.
''The players were the first to know,'' Caldwell said. ''I told them before I turned any paperwork in.
''I told the guys I'll still be teaching here and if they ever need anything to let me know.''

Actor Levar Burton is celebrating after fans surpassed the goal of raising $1 million in less than 24 hours of launching the Kickstarter.com campaign on Wednesday, in a bid to bring back his popular U.S. children's show "Reading Rainbow."
"The Star Trek: The Next Generation" star hosted the educational series from 1983 until 2005 and now he is set to revive the program on the Internet after going above and beyond the lofty goal in just 10 hours.
With 34 days still to go, Burton's crowd-funding campaign has raised over $1.3 million so far.
He shared his astonishment about the outpouring of support to Deadline.com, saying, "Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that we would reach our goal on the very first day. People are getting involved – it's been pretty overwhelming."
In a post on the crowd-funding site urging fans to donate he writes, "I am hoping you will join me on my mission to bring 'Reading Rainbow' back for every child, everywhere. Together, we can change the lives of millions of children. But you don't have to take my word for it: just keep reading!
"I believe that every child has a right, and a need, to be literate. We have a responsibility to prepare our children… and right now, the numbers show that we, as a society, are failing in that responsibility."
With the funds, Burton will also create a classroom-friendly version of his popular show for teachers.
The actor joins the club of last year's highly-successful "Veronica Mars" campaign, which raised the $2 million goal of turning the cult TV series into a big screen film in just five hours, going on to set Kickstarter.com history with more than 88,000 backers donating over $5 million.

I'm in the market for a new pack. Any of you own or used the Kuiu icon 5200? Looking for a 5-10 day pack.
I'm in the market for a new pack. Any of you own or used the Kuiu icon 5200? Looking for a 5-10 day pack.
Have the new 1850 and had the 3000.
Great pack and very comfortable.
Packs a pretty good load too.
I have the Icon 5200. I just got it this past November/December. I have not hunted with it yet, so can't give you any info there. I have loaded it up to around 60-65 lbs and worn it around the house and it feels great. I can keep the load on my hips and the weight does not seem to sag or sway at all. I previously had an Eberlestock J34 which is a very good pack for the price, but the Icon 5200 appears to be WAY better at carrying a load than the J34, that is all I have to compare it to.
The Icon has lots of pockets, which I like, for organizing gear. I also like how you can access the main bag from the top, and by the "U" shaped zipper in the pack. It seems to compress down very flat for daypack mode too.
Hope this helps
If you don't mind waiting until approx. mid march Kuiu is releasing their Ultra 6000. Re-designed frame, different bag layout, about 3.5 lbs. for approx. $350.00. No info. on their web site yet but you can call and pre-order and get more info.
I know I have been a member for a while on here, but I only have had time to go through some of these forums. I can't believe how much some of you know on game units in different states! This is my first reply but wanted to mention EXO Mountain Gear. New company that I think is coming out with a pretty cool pack. I have only seen their video and read their specs but I think its worth looking at.
Gents, thanks for the help. By no means am I in any rush to get the new pack as long as I have it by this spring. I want to try it out on some 14ers here in Colorado prior to the archery season. All suggestions are welcome.
Have you considered any other companies? Kuiu has had multiple problems with their carbon fiber frames breaking under a heavy load.
You may want to look at other options like kifaru, stone glacier or mystery ranch.

Better late than never
Budget | President Obama's tardy budget is bloated with tax hikes and more government programs but does offer some entitlement reform
WASHINGTON—Arriving more than 60 days late, President Barack Obama's budget hit doorsteps in the nation's capital Wednesday, its tax increases and calls for more big government programs surprising no one. When it comes to specific policy, congressional lawmakers will mostly ignore the $3.77 trillion plan, outlined in more than 2,000 pages. But it will add fuel for politicians of all stripes when it comes to politics.
President Obama's plan continues the his theme, used during last year's campaign, that asking the rich to pay more taxes is both popular rhetoric and effective policy for dealing with the country's persistent economic woes. The budget contains a net tax increase of about $1 trillion and calls for $5.3 trillion in more borrowing over the next decade. It does not seek a balanced budget. But unbalanced budgets are the norm inside the Capital Beltway: The federal government has spent more than it brings in for 55 of the last 60 years.
The president's new plan seeks to restrict tax deductions for the nation's highest income earners, including capping deductions allowed for charitable contributions at 28 percent, even though the top tax bracket now has increased to 39.6 percent. According to an analysis done by Forbes, the cap would raise the cost of giving to charity from 60 cents per dollar to 72 cents per dollar. Organizations studying charitable donations predict the 28 percent deduction cap could lead to a $2.18 billion to $9 billion decline in annual giving.
Obama's budget calls for extra revenue so it can pay for a bevy of new federal programs that highlight the president's core philosophy that government is the best driver and sustainer of the nation's economy. In releasing his budget, Obama called the philosophy "making the investments necessary to grow our economy." He said these "targeted investments" will "create jobs right now, and prime our economy to keep generating good jobs down the road." Obama used the tactic of the government priming the economic pump in 2009 with his $831 billion federal stimulus package. At that time, the Obama administration argued that such federal investment would keep the unemployment rate below 8 percent. Instead the unemployment rate has remained above 8 percent for 43 consecutive months.
The president's budget recalls the stimulus philosophy by adding such federal programs as the $40 billion "Fix It First" infrastructure initiative. It also seeks $1 billion to create 15 manufacturing innovation institutes and $10 billion for a National Infrastructure Bank. According to The Heritage Foundation, 45 early educational and childcare federal programs already exist. But Obama's budget seeks to create yet another in the form of a Preschool for All initiative, with the program's $66 billion price tag paid for by raising the federal tax on cigarettes.
In total, Obama's budget would increase spending for 2014 by $160 billion over the Congressional Budget Office's February projections. Under the budget, the federal deficit, which has topped $1 trillion for four straight years, would be reduced by just $600 billion over the next decade.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell called the president's new budget "just another left-wing wish list." His colleague, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said Obama's budget "is a blueprint for a recession … and it encourages long-term dependency on government."
But with the Senate and House having already proposed and passed their own budget resolutions, the president's plan likely comes too late to affect the legislative process. The president is statutorily obligated to give Congress a budget blueprint by Feb. 4 each year. Obama's late arriving budget turned the congressional budget process upside down, leading some lawmakers to speculate on the president's motives.
"I want to believe the intention is not to purposely blow up the budget process so the president can campaign against the very budget process he blew up," McConnell said Wednesday on the Senate floor. "But, from the reports we're seeing, it's getting harder and harder not to draw that conclusion."
Obama's budget this year cannot fare any worse than his budget last year, which the Senate rejected in a 99-0 vote last May.
But the president's new plan does claim to trim entitlement and healthcare costs by about $600 billion over the next decade. It proposes to save $130 billion over the next 10 years by tweaking the way the government determines the annual cost-of-living adjustment for Social Security.
A Democratic-controlled White House taking steps to reign in the growth of Social Security is a development that should not be ignored. But the proposal does not come close to reaching the structural changes needed to reform entitlements. Even so, liberal groups have launched a campaign against the entitlement change. Left-leaning organizations delivered to the White House on Tuesday a petition with more than 1 million signatures of people opposing any entitlement cuts. This all but assures that Obama's budget would have a difficult time improving on last year's Senate vote shellacking.
"He does deserve some credit for some incremental entitlement reforms that he has outlined in his budget," said House Speaker John Boehner. "I hope he won't hold hostage these modest reforms for his demands for bigger tax hikes."

COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Alkeran
Melphalan may cause serious blood disorders (decreased bone marrow function leading to low number of white blood cells/platelets and anemia). It can lower your body's ability to fight an infection and increase your risk of bleeding. Higher doses and taking this medication more frequently increase the chance of these side effects. Your doctor will monitor you and perform blood tests, usually weekly at first. Your dose and any further treatment will be based on your blood tests. Keep all medical/lab appointments.
Tell your doctor right away if you develop easy bleeding or bruising, unusual tiredness, or signs of an infection (e.g., persistent sore throat, fever).
Melphalan may increase your risk of certain cancers (e.g., leukemia, carcinoma). Your doctor will monitor you carefully.
Melphalan has caused birth defects in unborn babies. Women of child-bearing age must avoid becoming pregnant while taking this medication. (See also Precautions section.)Who should not take melphalan?
This medication is used to treat certain types of cancer (multiple myeloma, ovarian cancer). Melphalan belongs to a class of drugs known as alkylating agents. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells.
Take this medication by mouth, usually once a day as directed by your doctor. Your doctor may direct you to take this medication on an empty stomach. Follow your doctor's directions closely.
The dosage is based on your medical condition, response to treatment, and blood counts. The dosing of this medication is different for everyone. Your doctor may direct you to take it daily for several weeks, followed by several weeks of not taking the drug, and then direct you to take it daily again. Other patients may take it for only a few days, and then repeat the treatment every few weeks. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions about this medication. It is very important that you understand exactly how to take this medication to get the most benefit and to lower your chance of serious side effects.
Unless your doctor instructs you otherwise, drink plenty of fluids while taking this medication. This helps your kidneys to remove the drug from your body and avoid some of the side effects.
Do not increase your dose or take this medication more often than prescribed. Your condition will not improve any faster, and the risk of serious side effects may be increased. Do not stop taking this medication without talking with your doctor, even if you feel nauseated or experience vomiting. If you vomit shortly after a dose, or if you miss a dose, contact your doctor right away.
It may take several months before you see a benefit from this drug.
Since this drug can be absorbed through the skin and lungs, women who are pregnant or who may become pregnant should not handle this medication or breathe the dust from the tablets. All people should wash their hands carefully after handling this drug.
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, lip/mouth sores, and loss of appetite may occur. Nausea and vomiting can be severe. In some cases, your doctor may prescribe medication to prevent or relieve nausea and vomiting. Eating several small meals, not eating before treatment, or limiting activity may help lessen some of these effects. If these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Temporary hair loss may occur. Normal hair growth should return after treatment has ended.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Follow your doctor's orders and keep all medical/lab appointments to lower your risk of serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: easy bruising/bleeding, bloody/black/tarry stools, lower back or side pain, decreased or missed menstrual periods, decreased sexual function, pinkish urine, painful/difficult urination, unusual weight loss, vomit that looks like coffee grounds.
This medication can lower the body's ability to fight an infection. Tell your doctor promptly if you develop any signs of an infection such as fever, chills, or persistent sore throat.
Tell your doctor right away if any of these rare but very serious side effects occur: painful/difficult breathing, chest pain, coughing up blood, persistent cough, unusual lumps/masses under the skin, pain/redness/swelling of the arms/legs, stomach/abdominal pain, yellowing eyes/skin, dark urine, unusual tiredness.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, seek immediate medical attention if you notice any of the following symptoms of a serious allergic reaction: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Do not have immunizations/vaccinations without the consent of your doctor, and avoid contact with people who have recently received oral polio vaccine or flu vaccine inhaled through the nose.
To lower your risk of getting cut, bruised, or injured, use caution with sharp objects like razors and nail cutters, and avoid activities such as contact sports.

This drug should not be used with the following medication because very serious interactions may occur: nalidixic acid.
If you are currently using the medication listed above, tell your doctor or pharmacist before starting melphalan.

I am having a problem similiar to those I have seen on this forum.
I am using Outlook 2003 with Activesyc to an Ipaq. When we were on Exchange this all worked fine. Now that we are in Zimbra this particular users Outlook will crash when attempting to sync with the server.
I read in the other thread that there is an updated Zimbra connector which gets you around the activesync issues. How can one obtain this?
Here are some errors for your perusal.

Note: I used the coredump.vbs script but it is not generating the output. So in order to get it to run I had to set DrWatson as the debugger in the registry manually.
When opening Oulook the connection state moves to connected and the dialog is attempting to retrieve data. The calendar displays its reminders and shortly after closing the dialog box is when Outlook crashes. Also you can force Outlook to crash by initiating send/receive manually and about a minute later it will crash.
I have tried repairing Outlook, reinstalling outlook, reinstalling Zimbra connector, rebuilding profile, moveing between cached and noncached mode, etc.....all to no avail.
I have both the full and mini dump both 50-60kb in size zipped and attached.
Any help you can provide is appreciated.

In the past 12 months, we have seen an increase in the amount of spam allowed through by spamassassin, along with numerous backscatter problems getting us blacklisted (even though support has told us how to stop backscatter, it still doesn't seem to work).
Most concerning is the number of phishing emails allowed through, which turn into a massive bot attack as soon as one user falls for it. This occurs every 2-3 months regardless of the number of time we tell users to NEVER release their password, and that we will NEVER ask them for it. The bots are specifically targeting Zimbra servers and using SOAP calls to send thousands of emails in a very short time. We usually find out when we get a blacklist alert, or the user notices bounces in their inbox, at which point they remember that they let their password out...
We need:
1. rate-limiting to prevent any account from sending more than x messages per y interval.
2. rate-limiting to prevent more than x SOAP connections from a single IP per y interval.
3. alerts when any of the limits are reached.
I think we can do the above, but haven't looked into it yet.
One complication is how the scenario plays out:
1. One user falls for a phishing email. Sometimes the email is sent to only a small number of users, so we don't see it right away. In the recent incident, the spammer waited at least a week (until the Easter weekend) before actually doing anything.
2. Once that user is breached, a second phishing email pretending to be from our IT Department, usually describing a Zimbra upgrade or problem, is sent to ALL local users, and others in the addressbook.
3. User 1 starts sending waves of spam from Nigerian SOAP connections.
4. Subsequent users fall for more convincing (although still with poor English) second phish from internal address with Yahoo reply-to. Yahoo is useless at dealing with these accounts, so they continue to use yahoo (does yahoo still use Zimbra?)
5. We run a script to remove all messages based on phishing subject line when we notice it.
6. Nearly every attack starts on a weekend, so our response time is longer.
What I don't know is if I should spend any more time with the Zimbra spam solutions of spamassassin or dspam. We really don't have time to constantly tweak the system, and also deal with losing settings on every Zimbra update (although we are told where to make changes to avoid this, it still seems to occur every so often, or at least the changes are rendered ineffective). Should we be looking at Barracuda, IronPort, or others? We are already using barracuda for dnsbl, and it seems to be either the fastest to respond, or the most accurate, or both:

We are a school with ~700 users, 450 of them students. Surprisingly, our staff are usually the worst offenders at falling for phishing attempts. All of the attacks appear to be monitored by a human until an account is breached, then the bot takes over. The recent wave of attacks on the weekend started with test connections from a proxy/anon ip block, then the bots hit from a Nigerian ip block. We have blocked all of these at the firewall, but there will be others soon I'm sure. Attempting to contact admins for either ip block have been ignored.
