Take advantage of the functions provided by the suite of TCP/IP protocols and many applications that run on IBM i.
IBM i offers robust support for TCP/IP, the protocol of the Internet. With the integrated TCP/IP capabilities of IBM i, users can link to networks throughout the world.
The use of TCP/IP is pervasive in the current marketplace for multivendor interconnected networks. An example of this marketplace dominance is the international collection of networks known as the Internet. TCP/IP ties all of the Internet's individual networks together so that any individual user can reach systems anywhere else in the Internet. TCP/IP allows all nodes in the Internet to communicate as if they were on the same physical network, regardless of their specific hardware or software architecture. In this way, TCP/IP provides interoperability.
TCP/IP is an international set of protocols, standardized by the Internet Architecture Board. The document that provides the standard for a particular protocol or function is called a Request for Comment (RFC). Over 2000 RFCs are available today.
Features at a glance
TCP/IP on IBM i capabilities (integrated into IBM i at no additional charge) include:
IBM i supports the latest IP protocol, IP version 6. IPv6 has many new features that make networking more safe and reliable. Its larger address format expands the address space from around 4 billion IP address with IPv4 to over 340 undecillion (or 3.40282367 × 1038) addresses – making it the answer to the Internet's growing-concerns.
IPv6 supports and updates most IPv4 features while maintaining backwards compatibility to ensure functionality of current applications.
- Application protocols
The TCP/IP protocols include standards for many common applications. Some TCP/IP applications, such as FTP (file transfer protocol) and TELNET (terminal emulation), are commonly known. Others are newer and perhaps less familiar. Still others are intended primarily to facilitate network administration. This topic provides an overview of the TCP/IP applications that are included with TCP/IP on IBM i support.

Six pilots from the 110th fighter wing in Battle Creek returned home Monday, after months in the Middle East.
The pilots left Kuwait Friday and flew their A-10 jets back to Michigan. Monday their leg was nine hours, starting in the Azores. The pilots had been stationed in Kuwait, enforcing a no-fly zone over southern Iraq.
Family and friends were on hand in Battle Creek at the Ang Airforce Base for the reunion. All pilots will get at least a week vacation.
By the end of the week 250 members of the 110th will be back in the U.S. But between 60-75 will still be stationed overseas.

Getting some action to my bait site. I don't have a lot of experience judging black bears. Any idea by looking at these photos? Not even sure if its the same bear hitting the site or multiple.
The bear in the 3rd pic appears to be a smaller bear, but the bear in 1,2, and 4 is a nice bear. It's hard to tell without reference, but he looks like he might weigh 300 lbs.

In Texas, Esmie Gonzalez is racing to new goal-scoring heights for girls soccer. Gonzalez, of Forth Worth South Hills High School, set a new record for goals in a career with a nine-goal outburst in a game last week. That game put Gonzalez's career total at 294 goals, eclipsing the previous record of 286 of Erin Martin from 1992.
Gonzalez entered the season with 207 goals, good for 12th on the all-time list, and she hasn't stopped scoring during her senior season. She is well on her way to becoming the first girl to pass 300 career goals. She now has the season goals record of 107 in her sights.

How many VMI Alumni fought in the Civil War?The latest research indicates that of the approximately 1,930 alumni who were living at the beginning of the Civil War, 1,827 served in some capacity (94.7%). Of those, 240 died (171 killed or mortally wounded in action, the rest from disease or other causes while in service). Approximately 19 served in the Union Army, some of whom are described in this article.
How old was the typical Civil War era cadet?Although the ages ranged from 15 - 25, most cadets were between 17 and 21, that is, very similar in age to today's college students.
How many cadets died at the Battle of New Market?Ten cadets died in battle or as a result of their wounds. For much more information, see our Battle of New Market resources.

The Indiana Trails Inventory was compiled by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources' Division of Outdoor Recreation. Its purpose is to provide information on all public trails in Indiana. The information about the trails came directly from trail providers—those agencies and organizations which manage and maintain the trails. A survey form was sent to all known city and County Park and recreation agencies, Department of Natural Resources' properties, federal agencies that manage recreation land in Indiana, and not-for-profit organizations that are involved in trail development. Extensive use of websites and planning documents has also been used to update information.
Only trails for which information was received are included in this inventory. Some of the trails may have changed since the inventory form was completed or may not be listed. Therefore, in reviewing this report, consider it a somewhat incomplete snapshot of Indiana's public trails as they are reported to us. All reports will be updated as new information is received from the trail managing agencies.
Important note to agencies and organizations managing trails: If information on trails for which you are responsible is missing or incorrect, please contact us and we will work with your agency or organization to get your trails listed.

text: Currently I run the zimbra backup jobs to the default location on our Zimbra box but am approaching 80% disk capacity and was thinking of offloading the stored backups. I was thinking I could mount a fast NAS box (perhaps a Synology DS1010+ or similar) via NFS and simply change the backup job location. Is anyone doing this that can comment? Other than some performance hit TBD, I'm not really seeing any drawback but perhaps I'm overlooking something.

Roger Daltrey Concert Tickets
Pete Townshend Gives Blessing to Roger Daltrey's Tommy Tour
With Roger Daltrey taking The Who's Tommy on the road in the UK and US, it would be disingenuous if he didn't have the permission of Who guitarist and Tommy composer Pete Townshend. Townshend recently released a statement saying that he looked forward to the production and he would be in the audience to hear Daltrey and his band's reworkings of the classic rock opera. Incidentally, Townshend's son Simon is the band's guitarist.
Roger Daltrey Auditioned to Judge American Idol
During the last round of tryouts to see who would join the judging panel for the tenth season of American Idol, it was reported that Roger Daltrey of The Who had auditioned. Daltrey, who has been a vocal critic of talent shows, was beat out by the more colorful lead singer of Aerosmith, Steven Tyler. Producers said that Daltrey, despite being an influential rocker, appeared too formal during the audition.
Roger Daltrey Tickets. The Who's Bad Boy, Live!
The Roger Daltrey 2011 Tommy tour is revving up, and this English rebel from 60s supergroup The Who is set to blow you away with a pile-driving set. Roger Daltrey tickets are not going to be easy to find, so browse our Roger Daltrey schedule and make sure you have yours in your back pocket well in advance of the Daltrey tour dates you have in mind. Just remember, Roger Daltrey is one of the original bad boys, one of those who smashed his instruments and inspired a generation of mods to fight the rockers on the beaches. Daltrey is so much more than a rock 'n' roll star, though; his performances on celluloid, such as his depiction of armed robber John McVicarin the 1980 film of the same name, and that of Tommy, the "deaf, dumb and blind" kid who was a living character from a Who song (Pinball Wizard), left cinema audiences gasping for more. Roger Daltrey tickets will put this wild artist before you in the flesh, where he'll give you a show guaranteed to shake your bones!
Roger Daltrey tickets are all the more noteworthy for the fact that this is the first tour of Tommy in recent years for the former Who wildman. The 2011 Roger Daltrey tour will begin in Florida in September. Daltrey looks fit and raring to go, and it is inevitable a powerhouse like him will always use it before he loses it. Buy tickets to Roger Daltrey and you will hear classic Who songs, as well as solo material. The hard-edged voice that we all know and love so well, the curly hair, and the blue eyes of the "badman" are all intact and ready to rock, on this 2011 Roger Daltrey concert tour.
If you remember the high points of The Who's - and of Daltrey's - career, you'll be thinking of a roaring, screaming voice, one that took rhythm and blues and processed it as if through a heavy rock vocal and threw in some grayed-out psychedelia for good measure. Among the more memorable are songs like I'm One, from the Quadrophenia album, a song that captures the neuroticism of a young mod, anxious to ape the manners and coolness of those around him. Another would be We Won't Get Fooled Again, in which Daltrey's vocal range found new avenues, as he roared about the contradictions and outright cons society and its leaders are full of. And then there's "Pinball Wizard", the song that inspired the rock opera, Tommy, in which Daltrey starred in the lead role. Pinball Wizard perfectly captures the mood of working-class London, its sleazy neon arcades with their hierarchy of pinball devotees, fashonistas and oddballs. Roger Daltrey tickets are going to be thin on the ground, but we have them here. Browse our selection and make a date to be at the 2011 Roger Daltrey tour. Come on and capture the spirit of revolution and hear some power rock blasted out the way it was always meant to be!
You saw Roger Daltrey perform live with The Who at one of the most legendary Super Bowls of all time, now's your chance to see Roger Daltrey live on an equally legendary tour, the Roger Daltrey Tour 2011. Roger Daltrey tickets are one sale now!

I had to read a forum post to learn that Zimbra was built for Linux, and might get built for Mac OSX. People shouldn't have to dig so far to learn what platform software was made for. Put the info on the homepage where people can easily see it.
Also, what server and database software does it work with? Apache? PHP? MySGL? Any talks with site control panel people (such as cPanel) about including Zimbra in their packages?

I bought this for my granddaughter to make. She likes to bake and chocolate her favorite.....she's 15. I didn't get to sample it but rest of family ate it up. Up until recently "organic" was a word in our grocery flyer but now we look it over more closely & tempted.

I made these for a board meeting and they were quite the hit! If you like the kind of brownies that resemble a cake, these are *not* for you! These brownies have a wonderful rich chocolate flavor. If you're a chocolate lover, you won't be disappointed.

Crieff : Michelin's recommendations
This pleasant holiday resort is well situated on a hillside, overlooking the fertile loop of Strathearn. Crieff stands at the threshold of the Highlands, surrounded by beautiful landscapes, and is an ideal centre for excursions. The arrival of the railway in 1856 enabled its spa establishments to flourish. Today, Crieff's many Victorian buildings show how fashionable this resort town became during that period.

Now that the agency that operates Cincinnati's Metro bus system has rejected a state fact-finder's recommendations about a labor contract with its workers, the union says it might go on strike.
The board that governs the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA) voted 11-1 Tuesday to reject the fact-finder's recommendations, calling them too expensive and vague. The agency's contract with its 676 bus drivers, maintenance and support employees expired a day earlier, although that agreement remains in effect until a new deal is reached.
A major effort is underway today to urge Congressman Steve Chabot (R-Westwood) to buck his GOP colleagues and vote against repealing the health-care reform law.
A national group, Catholics United, is placing about 6,000 telephone calls to Catholics who live in Ohio's 1st Congressional District, that contains a recorded message asking them to have Chabot vote "no" on repealing health-care reform. The GOP leadership is expected to bring up the repeal bill, H.R. 2, on Wednesday for a vote by the U.S. House of Representatives.
Because it can take years after exposure for symptoms to develop, many people who are infected with the virus that causes AIDS don't even realize it. More than one million people in the United States are estimated to be living with HIV, and approximately one in five people with HIV are unaware they're infected, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio filed a court brief Wednesday supporting an anti-abortion group that is being investigated for its plans to erect billboards that Congressman Steve Driehaus (D-Price Hill) said contained false information.
The ACLU's brief supports the Susan B. Anthony List's complaint in federal court that alleges the Ohio law restricting false statements is unconstitutional.
An anti-abortion group is defending the claims it makes on billboards criticizing Congressman Steve Driehaus (D-Price Hill), but comments from a prominent Catholic bishop appears to support Driehaus' stance.
People who want to apply for the state of Ohio's new high-risk medical insurance pool can get free help at two upcoming events.
As part of recent health-care reforms, the state launched the high-risk insurance pool Aug. 1. The program is designed to offer affordable coverage to individuals who have been denied coverage in the past because of pre-existing medical conditions.
House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-West Chester) is getting some serious face time on YouTube these days.
A person named Josh Stanley has created a mash-up of Boehner's angry "Hell no, you can't" rant on the floor of Congress from the March 21 vote on the health care reform bill with the popular song, Yes We Can. The latter was created by singer will.i.am of the Black-Eyed Peas, to support Barack Obama in his successful 2008 presidential bid.

Want a 2008 Challenger SRT8? Better Hurry as They're Almost Sold OutWritten by on December 6, 2007 Contributors: Courtesy of Dodge If you are looking to order a 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 you had better hurry because the production run of less than 10,000 cars is almost sold out.
Want a 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 in your garage? Get yourself down toyour Dodge dealer's ASAP (if not sooner), because there's a good chancethe SRT8's less-than-10,000-cars '08 model run may sell out.
4,300 people placed orders and put down deposits for the first-to-be-built version of the New Challenger on December 3rd, the firstday it was available for order. Two days later, the pre-order total wasup to 6,000---and climbing.
"This is unprecedented," Mark Mallie, Challenger's brand manager, toldThe Detroit News. "Customers were actually coming to us and pushing us,so we thought this was a good time to take presale orders." Meanwhile,Chuck Eddy of Bob & Chuck Eddy Chrysler Dodge Jeep near Youngstown, Ohiotold The Detroit Free Press, "There's a lot of excitement on the car. Wealready have a dozen legitimate sold orders in the system."
Sources at ChryCo's main base in Auburn Hills say the pre-order demandis on a par with that of the PT Cruiser, when it debuted in 2000.
Now, what we'd like to know from you folks who've ordered ChallengerSRT8's is: When and where did you place your order? Is your dealercharging additional mark-up over the $37,995 sticker price (and if so,how much)? Did your dealer give an estimate of when it'll be ready fordelivery to you?

All Together NowWritten by on January 31, 2006 The NSRA Milwaukee Nationals
It has been a long time coming. For years the idea had been discussed, denied and very actively debated. Then, with the announcement of its 2005 schedule, the National Street Rod Association broke the news that there would be two new events on their schedule. Not just two new events, but two events that - for the first time in over thirty-five years - would greet vehicles as new as 1975 to the events. Those popular cars from the `50s, `60s and early `70s would be welcome to drive through the front gates and join in all the fun that the pre-`48 rods have been having for years.
From the moment the schedule was announced, the questions were on everyone's mind: Would the post `48 crowd show up? Would the street rodders accept their newer custom and high performance cousins? Like the panic over Y2K, the concerns over the late-models rolling into a NSRA event were unfounded. Everything worked just fine, thank you.
From the time that the gates to the Wisconsin State Fair Park were opened on Friday morning until Sunday afternoon when event Director Tom Biles announced Bruce Hansen as the lucky winner of the National Street Rod Association Chevy Colorado pickup, everybody had a great time at the Milwaukee Nationals. Those who had never attended an NSRA event soon learned that there is something to do or see just about every minute of the weekend.
Almost 100 vendors filled the huge Exposition Center. DJ "Wings" Kalahan kept things hopping all weekend with his "Cruising with Wings" show broadcasted over the PA system. Special show areas were set up on Saturday to feature vehicles in specific groups such as "Wagon Way" for station wagons, "Hammered Highway" for all chopped vehicles and "Be-Bop Blvd" for the Buick, Olds and Pontiac fans.
The weather was great all weekend in Milwaukee. The final count showed that 1,694 vehicles had been registered for the event. The mix of pre-`48 cars to post-`48 was about a 60/40 split with street rods making up the larger portion --- as was expected. With custom and classic trucks, street machines and traditional customs thrown into the mix, there was a little something for everyone at the Milwaukee Nationals.
The NSRA's first attempt at welcoming the newer vehicles to their events was judged a success by most everyone who attended. A `32 Ford flanked by a `67 Nova and a `51 Merc just looks and feels right!
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Almost 1,700 specialty vehicles covered the Wisconsin State Fair Park in Milwaukee in July. The inaugural NSRA Milwaukee Nationals marked the first time that the NSRA has welcomed post-1948 cars.The selection of food at Milwaukee was almost as varied as the vehicles that attended the event. The pre-`48 and post-`48 crowd enjoyed checking out each others rides as did the many spectators in attendance.The distinction of being the first `49-and-later vehicle through the gates on Friday morning belongs to Mari and Steve Job with their `59 T-Bird. It was ironic that they had decided to leave their Chevy street rod at home for the weekend.The swap meet area had a number of cool projects available. This `51 Lincoln four-door was offered at $2,900.Seth Wagner's Ford looked right at home surrounded by high-end street rods. The `49 Business Coupe features a blown 392ci Ford engine, Air Ride Technologies suspension and flawless body and paint work.Ken Rea's `57 Olds 88 was voted the Minnesota Street Rod Association's Custom of the Year in 1995 and still looks good. Those are `56 Olds Fiesta wheel covers. The turquoise and white two-door hardtop is powered by a `62 394ci Olds engine.Maggie and Bob Klessig's `52 Chevy started life as a two-door sedan. After quite a bit of bodywork it emerged as a 2-inch chopped convertible. Daring to be different, Bob decided a built inline six-cylinder Chevy would be the perfect power for his Yukon Polo Green cruiser.A `59 Cadillac stands out in a crowd when it is bone stock. Julie and Jeff Kruse decided to take an even bolder approach. Rolling on 20-inch Boyd wheels, Jeff lowered the suspension 2 1/2 inches, installed a 402 big-block under the hood and sprayed the orange pearl paint himself.
Painted PT Cruiser Silver, Pat and Will Staab's `54 Studebaker Commander has a 5.0L Ford hiding under the hood. The Stude also features a hand-fabricated engine cover, shroud, floor console and dash.There were plenty of very tasteful classic street rods on hand at Milwaukee. Ken Barnhart's real deal all original steel `32 roadster features a 3-inch top chop. With a Total Cost Involved dropped I-beam up front and a 9-inch Ford in the rear, the package is powered by a GM Ram-Jet engine mated to a Turbo 350 trans.The folks from the International Show Car Association were in Milwaukee to pick a favorite pre-`49 custom. At the award ceremonies on Sunday, Steve Allen got the special recognition for his `47 Chevy convertible.Everett Gray decided to combine some old style with new style when he installed a Heidt's front end on his home-built frame then installed a traditional Jag out back. The Kilborn-bodied deuce is painted PPG Dove Gray and Hot Rod Red with a bright red interior.Wagons are as hot as ever and it doesn't get much rarer than Diane and Dave Beck's `57 Olds hardtop wagon. The red and white people hauler rests on an Air Ride Technologies suspension and rolls on Colorado Custom wheels.Jan and Paul Medgyesi's very smooth `37 Ford coupe features body modifications from Hopperstad Customs and black and silver paint that was shot by Pro Body and Paint. The body rests on a Roadster Shop chassis, sports a Heidt's suspension and is powered by an LS-1.Radical does not begin to describe Lynn and Larry Fryfolgle's `49 Merc four-door. The sliding roof helps open up the car that features a 5 1/2-inch chop. Up front is a Nova sub frame and the power is from a small-block Chevy.

Arizona Daily Star
To distinguish the Arizona Daily Star as an important regional voice, designer José Merino sought a look that would reflect the unique warmth and passion of the Southwest. From the menu of spicy options recommended by the Font Bureau, he chose Cyrus Highsmith's Prensa as the main course. The taut, active letterforms and lively details add a special kick to display headlines.
When the existing Prensa series proved too wide for hard-news heads in narrow columns, a fresh set of Prensa Condensed fonts was specially prepared to add flexibility while keeping flavor. Benton Sans provides the secondary navigation and also adds punch in bold sports headlines. A custom smoothed version of Amplitude is employed in the upmarket NWS edition for stylish headlines.
With this versatile suite of Font Bureau fonts, the Arizona Daily Star and its sister publication, the Spanish-language La Estrella de Tucsón, were able to establish distinct identities for a diverse regional audience, while maintaining a single harmonious brand. FB 2004

Sodium (salt) is a mineral found in many foods. We need sodium for important bodily functions such as muscle contraction and water balance. On a two gram (2,000 milligrams [mg]) sodium diet you will be limiting the amount of high-sodium foods that you eat.
A low-sodium diet can prevent or lower
high blood pressure, and prevent and improve edema (water retention), which can occur with conditions such as heart failure and kidney disease. The foods highest in sodium include table salt (about 50% sodium), processed foods, condiments, seasonings, convenience foods, and preserved foods. Just one teaspoon of salt has 2,400 milligrams (mg) of sodium.
Examples of processed foods include canned foods, frozen dinners, snack foods, packaged starchy foods (eg, seasoned rice, instant mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese), baking mixes, deli meats and cheeses, sausages, and cured or smoked meats.

Video: Armed Robbery Caught On Camera In SE DC
WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- An armed robbery at a convenience store is caught on surveillance video.
It happened at the M&Z convenience store in the 3000 block of Naylor Road in Southeast DC around 8:30 a.m. on Sunday.
Abdul Kodir had just opened up the family business when two men wearing dark clothing and their faces covered rushed the store.
One crook came in waving a gun. The other entered with a red backpack.
Abdul says the gunman ordered him to get down on the ground. In the surveillance video you can see the gunman pointing the gun at Abdul as he runs away.
The two men then go behind the register making their demands.
Abdul's cousin opens up the register for them.
"They ask where the other money is, she said I don't have no more," Abdul recalls.
The men take what's in the cash register and cartons of cigarettes.
The owner was in the process of making upgrades to their security system, adding surveillance cameras, bullet proof glass at the register, and were just waiting for a door to be installed. All of these additions and precautions are being made because they had been robbed before, last December.
"I'm a little bit nervous, I'm okay now," Abdul said.
Police continue to investigate this case, no arrests have been made.

Tilting Hokuyo
From Healthcare Robotics Wiki
Revision as of 21:40, 9 June 2010 by Advaitjain (Talk | contribs) (Undo revision 206 by Tdeyle (Talk))
Advait Jain (http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~advait)
What this does
Tilting the Hokuyo using a servo and reading back the servo encoder position while getting scans from the Hokuyo allows us to generate a 3D point cloud of the world in front of the robot. We have used this 3D point cloud for object segmentation, door handle detection etc.
We first used this sensor in this paper: EL-E: An Assistive Mobile Manipulator that Autonomously Fetches Objects from Flat Surfaces. Advait Jain and Charles C. Kemp. Autonomous Robots, 2009. This paper and others can be downloaded from the Heathcare Robotics Lab website (http://www.healthcare-robotics.com)
Pictures of the Setup
This is the hardware setup that we use:
- Tilting servo: Robotis Servo (typically we use RX-28) http://www.crustcrawler.com/motors/RX28/index.php?prod=66
- This gives a serial interface to control the servo: http://www.crustcrawler.com/electronics/USB2Dynamixel/index.php?prod=65
- Hokuyo UTM. (http://www.acroname.com/robotics/parts/R314-HOKUYO-LASER4.html)
- Bracket to mount the Hokuyo on to the servo.
- This is a custom part that we have designed.
- The solidworks CAD file (utm-servo-bracket.sldprt). This requires Solidworks 2009.
- We have taken two routes for making the bracket
- buy Aluminium channels from http://mcmastercarr.com and drill the appropriate holes.
- use http://www.mfg.com to get the part manufactured from the CAD file. Will take between a week to 10 days.
- We thank Abhishek Bhatkhande for making the CAD model from the bracket design.
- Screws:
- Four M2x4 (2mm diameter, 4mm length) to connect the servo to the bracket.
- Two M3x6 or M3x8 to connect the UTM to the bracket.
- Longer screws will require washers.
- ROS (http://www.ros.org)
- You will need the following ROS packages from our public ROS repository (available at http://code.google.com/p/gt-ros-pkg/wiki/hrl_content_summary)

Andy Murray must be feeling frustrated right...about...now.
The Brit baller, who hasn't been feeling well since the Aussie Open where he lost in the fourth round, was forced to withdraw from Dubai citing illness and leaving his appearance in his country's Davis Cup tie in doubt.
The 21-year old told the press he started feeling better for a few days during he winning run in Rotterdam but has been unwell since arriving in Dubai:
I woke up in the middle of the night sweating. I went to the doctor and started taking antibiotics, but I have felt very tired all week. I have felt cold and shivery and had a sore throat. I feel that my temperature is up and my body feels bad.
I don't know what it is, some virus perhaps, but after playing Granollers I didn't feel great and I've not felt 100% since. There were a couple of days in Rotterdam [the week before last] when I felt better, but I haven't felt well again since I have been here.The World No.4 plans to return to Britain to get more tests completed:
I've had a blood test, and I've had antibiotics before for five or six days. I will have to fly home tomorrow and take some time off and see how I'm feeling in a few days.
In between sets [of the Clement match] I felt tired, really weak. You know where it feels like the adrenaline wears off, I felt cold and shivery. So obviously my temperature is up. My body is aching a little bit. I need to take some time off.Oh boy. Could it be the dreaded mononucleosis that rocked Roger Federer for most of last season not to mention Justine Henin, Nicole Vaidisova, and a few others? I hate to say it but maybe Andy overtrained during his off-season training intensive and hasn't allowed his body a chance to really recover.
Let's hope he gets better quickly and gets his game back on track.

1325 S Cliff AvenueSioux Falls, SD 57117-5045View a map605-322-8000
A knee arthroscopy is a medical procedure that is done by making small incisions on your knee. A tiny camera as well as other medical instruments may be used to fix your knee.
Knee scope - arthroscopic lateral retinacular release; Synovectomy - knee; Patellar (knee) debridement; Meniscus repair; Lateral release; Knee surgery
Three different types of anesthesia may be used for knee arthroscopy surgery:
A cuff-like device that inflates around your thigh could possibly be used to help control bleeding during your surgery. The surgeon will make two or three small incisions around your knee. Saline will be pumped into your knee to elongate the knee.
A narrow tube with a small camera attached to the end will be inserted inside through one of the incisions. The camera is attached to a video monitor in the operating room, which will allow the surgeon to see inside of your knee. In some operating rooms, the patient can also view the surgery on the monitor.
The surgeon will look around knee for issues. The surgeon may put other instrumentation inside your knee through the other tiny incisions to fix or remove the problem.
At the end of the procedure, the saline will be drained from your knee. The surgeon will close the incisions with stitches and cover them with a bandage. Several surgeons opt to take photos of the surgery from the video monitor so that you can see what was fixed and/or what was found.
Knee arthroscopy may be recommended for the following problems:
Communicate to your doctor or nurse what drugs you are currently taking, as well as any drugs or herbs you have bought without a prescription.
2 weeks before your surgery
On the day of your surgery
Following the surgery, you will have an ace bandage on your knee over the dressing. Most people go home the same day as surgery. Your doctor will give you an exercise program to follow.
Recovery from this procedure is often quick. You may need to use crutches for a short period of time so that you do not bear weight on your knee as well as control the pain. Your doctor may also prescribe pain medication.
Recovering from more complex procedures tend to take longer. When anything in your knee is repaired, you may not be able to walk without crutches or a knee brace for several weeks. Full recover may take several months to a year.
Full recovery after knee arthroscopy is contingent upon on what type of problem was treated. Problems such as a torn meniscus, broken cartilage, Baker's cyst, and problems with the lining of the joint are typically fixed easily. Most patients remain active after these procedures.
If you also have arthritis in your knee, you will still have arthritis symptoms after surgery to repair other damage to your knee.

Kevin Johnson, USA TODAY
Bellefonte, Pa. -- Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky was sentenced Tuesday to at least 30 years in prison on child sex abuse charges.
SEE ALSO: Sandusky claims innocence in audio statement
Sandusky, facing a sentence that will likely keep him in prison for life, has steadfastly pronounced his innocence.
On Monday, the former Penn State assistant football coach said his conviction on 45 counts of child sexual abuse was part of a "well-orchestrated" conspiracy.
The alleged conspiracy was concocted by the "dramatic" assertions of a young accuser who was joined by the media and the criminal justice system, he maintained in a statement he issued to the Penn State student-run radio station, ComRadio.
Sandusky denied any involvement in crimes that resulted in the "worst loss of my life."
"They can take away my life; they can make me out as a monster; they can treat me as a monster, but they can't take away my heart," the 68-year-old man said from a local jail where he has been awaiting sentencing since his conviction June 22.
Sandusky blamed his legal troubles on a young man designated by the state grand jury as "Victim 1," a former participant in Sandusky's charity for troubled youth, The Second Mile.
"A young man who is dramatic and a veteran accuser and always sought attention started everything," the former coach said. "He was joined by a well-orchestrated effort of the media, investigators, the (criminal justice) system, Penn State, psychologists, civil attorneys and other accusers.
"They've won," he said. "I've wondered what they've really won. Attention, financial gain, prestige will all be temporary."
When he first spoke to authorities in 2008, Victim 1 - one of 10 boys victimized by the coach - said Sandusky abused him over a period of four years. Many of the assaults took place in Sandusky's State College, Pa., home.
Sandusky's lawyer, Joe Amendola, confirmed his client's statement.
Slade McLaughlin, the attorney for Victim 1, said Sandusky's opportunity to speak came and went at his criminal trial. "He now has the audacity to take pot shots at his victims, who did have the courage to come forth to speak the truth."
Thomas Kline, the lawyer for "Victim 5," said Sandusky's statement "is not unexpected, but unfortunate. ... I have no doubt that Mr. Sandusky will spend the rest of his life in jail."
At trial, eight of the victims testified against Sandusky, detailing abuse over a period of at least 15 years. Witnesses to abuse involving two other victims, including the 2001 assault of a boy in a university locker room, also testified at trial.
One of those witnesses, former Penn State football coach Michael McQueary, said he witnessed the 2001 incident and later reported it to head football coach Joe Paterno, Athletic Director Tim Curley and university Vice President Gary Schultz.
Curley and Schultz are awaiting trial in January on related perjury charges, in which they are accused of lying to a state grand jury about what McQueary told them of the attack.
In his statement, Sandusky issued a wholesale denial of the crimes.
"In my heart, I know I did not do these alleged, disgusting acts," he said. "My wife has been my only sex partner and that was after marriage. Our love continues."

ROME, Ga. -- Georgia Democrats want Rep. Rick Crawford removed from the ballot as their party's nominee.
The move comes after Crawford announced that he will become a Republican if he wins re-election in November.
State Democratic Party Chairman Mike Berlon plans to discuss the move during a news conference Monday.
Crawford has represented Cedartown since 2007. He replaced Democratic Rep. Bill Cummings of Rockmart.
He faces a challenge from Republican candidate Trey Kelley, who chaired GOP Gov. Nathan Deal's campaign in Polk County.
Crawford narrowly survived a 2010 election against a GOP candidate. He told the Rome News-Tribune that he left the Democratic Party after members endorsed gay marriage. He said the party no longer represented his views on abortion and gun ownership.

Car crashes into day care
Published: Wednesday, July 24, 2013 at 11:45 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 24, 2013 at 11:45 a.m.
Patrice Hopkins couldn't believe her eyes on Wednesday when she opened the front door of Children Palace East, a day care center on Southeast Seventh Street.
Photo Galleries
As she looked up to greet a small child being dropped off, she noticed a black Kia Soul on busy Southeast 36th Avenue barrelling toward the day care, located next to Ward-Highlands Elementary School.
First Hopkins yelled for the boy to run. Then she and another woman grabbed two babies in the nursery and ran to the back of the day care.
That's when the Kia clipped the school's wooden entrance area and plowed into a block wall, shoving cribs and other items across the room.
Tiffany Alexander, 37, is the daughter of the owner, Patricia Mosley-Dalton. Alexander said she pulled her car up front of the day care to let her son out right before the crash.
Alexander is the school's personnel director. She said a unique set of circumstances helped keep everyone inside the day care safe.
If Hopkins hadn't been at the door at that very moment, the vehicle may have hit the day care unannounced and many children may have been hurt, Alexander and the family said.
"She saw it," said Thomas Mosley, 34, a co-owner with his mother.
The driver, whose name was not released, was taken to Munroe Regional Medical Center, according to Ocala Police Department's Paul Langley, a community service specialist.
Langley said the female driver, 31, was not injured in the crash itself and may have had a medical emergency while driving.
It is believed that the Kia was heading south on Southeast 36th Avenue. As the vehicle topped a small hill in front of Ward-Highlands, the woman became unconscious.
The Kia gradually moved across three lanes of traffic, jumped onto the northbound curb and somehow fit between a Ward-Highlands sign and utility post. It then crossed Southeast Seventh Street and into the building.

"I chose this birth announcement for its classic qualities. It complimented our newborns picture and the text size, color and font were perfect accents. Easy to make and love being able to see the finished product. Paper was heavy and sturdy. We have received several compliments on this announcement."
"My husband and I waited until our daughter was about 3 months old before taking professional photos and sending an announcement. After reviewing multiple options, we decided that this design was perfect to showcase her look. We styled her in a "little black dress" complete with pearls and photographed her against a pink blanket. I loved that the gray background of this card complimented her outfit and the pink made her first and middle name pop. We have received so many compliments on this announcement. And I look forward to saving it in her memory book."
"We loved this announcement and got so many compliments on it! I did not have to change anything about it even though it was customizable I liked it the way it was the best. I put one large close-up of my daughter on the front and did one family picture on the back. I will note that you should pay attention to how close you zoom in on the front picture to make sure the writing doesn't cover your child's face. Great paper quality and quick delivery. I also used the mail for me option which is awesome as a new mom. Next time I would mail myself one too since I got my extra ones a few days after other people received theirs."
"When I first received these announcements I was very upset because the font in green was barely legible - it was way too light and it doesn't look this light on their site. So I contacted customer service and they got back to me immediately and they sent me new announcements with darker green font color without any hassle. They look great and I am so pleased with them! I have used tiny prints numerous times and this was the first complaint I had and their customer service was wonderful! I will continue to use them in the future."
"I was extemely pleased with how my newborn announcement turned out! I've received several comments From recipients that have said it was the cutest announcement they've ever seen!"

PHOTOS: Florida's rejected license plates aren't always offensive
Tampa, Florida -- UPDATE: The victim in the Town 'N' Country overnight homicide has been identified as 28-year-old Orlando Rangel-Benitez.
Officials declared him dead at an apartment in Country Square Court early Tuesday morning. They later released that a stab wound to the chest may have been his cause of death.
Initial reports said the woman who called 911 to report the stabbing was taken into questioning regarding the situation. They have since said they believe the woman, identified as 35-year-old Luz Maribel Myers, stabbed Rangel-Benitez once in the chest during an argument.
Officials also say Myers was the victim's live in girlfriend.
Myers has been arrested and charged with Manslaughter with a Weapon.
10 News will continue with information as it becomes available.
A man is dead and a woman is being questioned after a domestic call turned deadly in the Town N' Country area.
Hillsborough County Sheriff's detectives and Crime Scene Investigators are now inside an apartment at Country Square off Country Square Court and Pinehurst attempting to figure out what led to the deadly argument.
The investigation is still in its early stages, but we are learning the woman inside the apartment called 911 at 2:03am.
Deputies arrived seven minutes later and could hear a commotion inside. After forcing their way in, they found 28-year-old Orlando Rangel-Bermudez with stab wounds.
PHOTOS: HCSO investigating Tampa homicide
Despite deputies and EMS attempts to save the man, he died from his injuries.
When asked about what the two were arguing over, Col. Donna Lusczynski said, "At this point, we don't know what it was about or what it was concerning. We responded to that, at which time we found the individual wounded inside."
It is not clear what the relationship is between the man and woman. The woman is being questioned at HCSO.
Deputies are also interviewing neighbors in their effort to piece together what happened. Names will not be released until the family is notified.
The investigation is not causing any traffic closures along Pinehurst. Residents are able to come and go if they parked in the crime scene area.
Country Square is the same apartment complex where Deputy Miguel Galarza was grazed in the neck by a bullet while responding to a call in 2009. HCSO says he is among the deputies responding to this morning's call.

Justice Department investigation of forwarders may continue
October 01, 2010
While news that half a dozen major international freight forwarders have plead guilty to price-fixing, there may be more collateral damage to come. In an interview with LM today, Brandon Fried, executive director of the Air Forwarders Association in Washington, DC, said that he would be meeting with legal counsel to determine if other players would be named later.
"It's too soon to make a statement at this point," he said. "But we will have a better picture before too long."
So far, the picture has not been pretty. Six international freight forwarders have agreed to plead guilty and to pay criminal fines totaling $50.27 million for their roles in several conspiracies to fix a variety of fees and charges in connection with the provision of freight forwarding services for international air cargo shipment.
According to the Department of Justice, these are just the first charges filed as a result of the department's antitrust investigation of the freight forwarding industry.
According to charges filed separately yesterday in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, six companies–EGL Inc., a Houston-based company; Kühne + Nagel International AG, based in Schindellegi, Switzerland (K+N); Geologistics International Management (Bermuda) Limited, based in Hamilton, Bermuda; Panalpina World Transport (Holding) Ltd., based in Basel, Switzerland; Schenker AG, based in Essen, Germany; and BAX Global Inc., a Toledo, Ohio-based company–engaged in one or more separate conspiracies to impose certain charges or fees on customers purchasing international freight forwarding services for cargo freight destined for air shipment to the United States during various periods between 2002 and 2007.
Under the plea agreements, which are subject to court approval, the six companies have agreed to pay the following criminal fines: EGL, $4,486,120; K+N, $9,865,044; Geologistics, $687,960; Panalpina, $11,947,845; Schenker, $3,535,514; and BAX Global, $19,745,927. Each company has also agreed to cooperate with the department's ongoing antitrust investigation.

[Student Records and General Academic Policies]
Grades are awarded for University of Alabama undergraduate courses according to the following table of letter grades and values:
Grade Value A+ 4.33 A 4.0 A- 3.67 B+ 3.33 B 3.0 B- 2.67 C+ 2.33 C 2.0 C- 1.67 D+ 1.33 D 1.0 D- 0.67 F 0 I Incomplete N No Grade Reported NC No Credit IP In Progress P Pass W Withdrawn
Policy on grading. In undergraduate courses at The University of Alabama, passing grades are "A+," "A," "A-," "B+," "B," "B-," "C+," "C," "C-," "D+," "D," and "D-." The "F" and "I" ("Incomplete") grades cannot be modified with a "+" or "-." Four grade points are given for each hour of "A"; three for each hour of "B"; two for each hour of "C"; and one for each hour of "D." The plus sign added to a grade raises the points awarded by one-third point per hour. A minus sign lowers the points awarded by one-third point. For example, each hour of "C+" earns two and one-third (2 1/3) grade points. Where departmental or other regulations require a minimum grade in a course or courses (for instance, the requirement to complete all prerequisites with grades of at least "C") a minus sign shall be appended to the minimum grade: that is, a "C" indicates "any kind of C." The syllabus for each individual University of Alabama undergraduate course specifies the criteria upon which work in the course will be graded. NOTE: A cumulative grade point average of 4.0 is the highest GPA an undergraduate can receive.
In all freshman composition courses, the following grades may be reported: "A+," "A," "A-," "B+," "B," "B-," "C+," "C," "C-," and "NC" ("No Credit"). The "NC" grade is not included in the computation of the student's grade point average. A grade of "C-" or higher is required in all freshman composition courses and is a prerequisite for advancement to another English course at The University of Alabama.
In introductory math courses the following grades may be reported: "A+," "A," "A-," "B+," "B," "B-," "C+," "C," "C-," and "NC" ("No Credit"). Specific math courses where a grade of "NC" may be reported are MATH 100, MATH 103, MATH 110, MATH 112, and MATH 115. The "NC" grade is not included in the computation of the student's grade point average. A grade of "C-" or required in math introductory courses and is a prerequisite for advancement to another math course at The University of Alabama.
In computing the number of credit hours attempted, each enrollment in a course is counted (any required course in which an "F" is earned must be repeated and passed; again, hours in freshman composition for which "NC" was reported are not included in GPA computations). In some academic divisions, a student who has obtained the dean's permission may repeat a course for which he or she has already earned credit. Each enrollment is counted in the number of credit hours attempted and in the computation of the grade point average; however, only the final enrollment may be applied to the requirements for the degree. Repeat grades are indicated on the student's transcript by "RI."
Incompletes and failures. If a grade of "F" is earned in a required course, the student must repeat the course and earn a passing grade in order to receive credit that will be applied to the requirements for the degree. Grades of "I" ("Incomplete") must be removed within 12 months of the end of the term in which they were awarded but prior to the student's graduation, or the grade of "I" will be changed to "F." The "I" may not be used as a means to re-enroll in a course during a subsequent semester. A grade of "I" may not be used to satisfy a prerequisite requirement.
Pass/fail option. A student who is in good academic standing may request permission to receive a grade of "P" ("Pass") or "F" ("Fail") for a course, instead of the conventional "A+," "A," "A-," "B+," "B," "B-," "C+," "C," "C-," "D+," "D," "D-," or "F." A grade of "P" does not affect the grade point average; however, a grade of "F" received in a course that the student has chosen to take under the pass/fail option is computed in the grade point average. Use of the pass/fail option is subject to the following regulations:
- The student must be a sophomore, junior, or senior with a grade point average of 2.0 or higher in order to use the pass/fail option.*
- Only elective courses may be taken pass/fail.
- A maximum of four courses or 12 credit hours (whichever comes first) may be taken pass/fail while a student is earning an undergraduate degree.
- Only one course each fall semester, spring semester, and summer term may be taken pass/fail.
- Once the deadline to add a course has passed, a student may not rescind the decision to take a course with the pass/fail option.
- A transfer student must have completed at least 15 credit hours at The University of Alabama with a grade point average of 2.0 or higher in order to use the pass/fail option.
*These regulations apply only to courses for which the student elects the pass/fail option; courses that are offered only on a pass/fail basis are exempted.

But there should be one out of 2 things. New stuff thats beeing added to the language files SHOULD be added to the bottom of the files with a note like this:
OR at least a version of the files. So people easy can see if there is changes/add-ons. Very hard to keep control now, as we want it 100% percent translated.Code:#### Added 1/1/2008 version 5.1.1 sometext=somelang

Remembering Isabel, 2003
The first category 5 hurricane to form in the Atlantic Ocean since Mitch in 1998, Isabel weakened to a category 2 before making landfall on this date ten years ago. Isabel came ashore near Cape Lookout, North Carolina as a category two storm with sustained winds of around 100 mph. Isabel produced a storm surge of seven to ten feet in North Carolina. The storm then raced northwestward passing just west of Richmond and just west of Winchester. Richmond recorded a seventy three mph wind gust while a fifty eight mph wind gust was recorded at National. The Bay Bridge was closed to traffic for a few hours due to the high winds.
Two thirds of all of Pepco's customers were without power. At the height of the storm 1.4 million customers were without electricity. We had a lot of rain that year, including the sixth wettest May with over seven inches. Consequently, many trees were uprooted due to the high winds and soggy soil with the two to ten inches that accompanied Isabel.
Isabel brought the worst tidal flooding in the Potomac and the Bay since Hazel in 1954. In fact some areas on the Bay had even worse flooding than the flooding brought on by Hazel. Hazel is still responsible for the highest wind gust recorded at National airport. When Hazel passed to the west of us it generated a wind gust of ninety eight mph. This storm tracked west of DC but just east of Winchester. 2003 year was one heck of a year with the President's Day Blizzard in February, Isabel and then the earthquake in early December.

Thread: Specific Chavity
23-09-04, 09:55 #1Padowan Hobbit (Karaoke Killer)Guest
I have just had the dubious pleasure of spending a week on holiday in Tenerife. I stayed at a hotel in Playa de Las Americas which, I can now state with some authority, is Chav Ground Zero. After making a number of observations, I have concluded that Playa has a specific chavity of 0.983. It is so near perfect specific chavity (1.000) because:1. ALL the bars are owned and run by Brits.2. You can buy a pint (advertised as a pint, not 0.5l) of Fosters, Boddingtons, Worthingtons, or Tennants in all the bars.3. ALL the bars are showing at least two different games of kevball at the same time.4. ALL the bars and restaurants have English PRs" outside, literally begging for your custom.5. ALL the restaurants have the menues in at least 5 languages.6. ALL the restaurants serve nowt much but pie/steak/chicken/burgers/mixed grills and chips. Local dishes like piella? Forget it.7. You want a British newspaper? Of course you can have one. Choose from the wide selection of: The Sun, Mirror, News of the Screws, Daily Record, Express, or Mail.8. Burger King, Mc Donalds, KFC, and Pizza Hut. No need.9. Las Veronicas. REALLY no need.And, of course10. The holiday makers. There is never any need to walk through the streets of a town without your shirt / t-shirt / vest (*shudder*) on, regardless of whether or not you're on holiday. You wouldn't show off your sunburned tubs of lard here, so why do it in someone else's country.So why didn't it hit perfect chavity? Well:1. The wife and I were there, pulling the chave rating down some. 2. I actively sought out a copy of the Daily Telegraph (to no avail).3. We spent as little time in Playa as possible.I made a further discovery while in this expedition: there is a direct corrolation between specific chavity (SC) and and tattoos per square metre. This can be expressed in the following formula:>SC = >tpm2Ithenku."
23-09-04, 10:02 #2Alun HemingtonGuest
You forgot to mention that all the menus have pictures of the food, so the chav's that have no grasp of even their native dialect merely have to pint at the board and grunt to request their required feed.
23-09-04, 10:03 #3Alun HemingtonGuest
er point, my grasp of english seems to be waning ;o)

Wouldn't Chav Central have the gutters in the street specially designed for the sift removal of vomit ? IIRC from P dl A some years ago, the eastern end of the town just used to slowly fill up until hosedown time.
23-09-04, 10:19 #7John (Barbed Wire Love)Guest
you could say that about most parts of Spain (and Portugal, Greece, Turkey, etc) where Brits tend to go on holiday.We've recently got back from Cala'n Forcat on Menorca, nice place, but full of British (and Irish) families. Accessory of choice = pushchair.All the bars had large screen TVs, all showing Sky Sports (not a bad thing if you're into Footie / Olympics, which we are) and nearly all sold Pints of either San Miguel or one of the other Spanish beers (strong lager to you & me). All the locals spoke better English than some English people, but were very happy if you made an attempt to speak Spanish (which I did)There was also 'The Scottish Pub' which we never went in, claiming to serve Worthingtons, Guinness, etc, and 'Porkys Bar' which constantly played whiney C&W music all the time.It could've been anywhere that the Brits go.(Don't get me wrong, I did like it, but it wasn't exactly authentic Spain)

LOL @ Slo: It hasn't changed.

2. You can buy a pint (advertised as a pint, not 0.5l) of Fosters, Boddingtons, Worthingtons, or Tennants in all the bars."Is that not a good thing?Long live the pint!"

Couple of years back I went on Holiday with the inlaws not far enough from Malaga. Ohhh my god what a place. Don't really think I heard any Spanish the whole time I was there.The saving grace of the holiday was the fact that we had a villa in the hills far away from anyone. Biking wasn't too shabby either.

We weren't far from Malaga this year (Nerja) - seemed like a load of Spanish and French holidayists.

The point is, Jase, they were advertising pints" but you got 0.5l. Intelligent people like ourselves would have understood this and accepted it, but I'm surprised more roudy elements of Chav didn't start a ruck over the "short measures"."

Slo....I was close to Nerja as well when I went. You saw Spanish people there? I must have gone at the wrong time of year!!

Aaah, i get it now! I suppose the chavs are so out of it that they wouldn't notice it anyway. I think you're attitude to these type of resorts changes dramatically as you get older. I can remember being 18 yrs old away from home for the first time on your own. Those places seem like the greatest place on earth!Nowadays i wouldn't dream of going anyway near the godforsaken hell holes but i'm sure within a few years my daughter will want to go there with her mates at some point....Aaarghhhhhh! Not even worth thinking about me thinks!

The alternative is a villa holiday in the hills far from the popular resorts?We went to Santa Pau in Catalunya in Sept 2001, lovely little medieval fortified village. Couple of shops, one bar, couple of restaurants and plenty of countryside. The nearest town - Olot - was having its annual Fiesta, which meant that for 4-5 days everything was shut. We lived on ham & cheese sandwiches (crusty 'pan rustique') for the first 4 days, and I think we only ate out twice due to the remoteness of the place. We ended up spending a good few day-trips at Roses on the Costa Brava - nice place, I'd recommend a holiday there any day. Mostly French day-trippers from Perpignan & the like, hardly any Brits.Oh, aye, the guided tour round the Nou Camp stadium was good, too.And then 2 airliners crashed into the World Trade Centre. Let's say Barcelona airport for our return flight 3 days later was a little tense...Of course, there is a happy medium, isn't there?

My cousin lives in Tenerife, in Oratavia on the north side, which is mostly spanish. A few years back my brother and I went to visit, and had a great time. But all the clubs and bars were very spanish orientated so we went to Playa for a few days for the nightlife. It was everything Pad said, and worse. Those people that hang around trying to convince you to go in the bars/clubs? I had a chat with one who basically explained she came out for a holiday and couldn't be arsed to go home. The place was full of themMy cousin tried to order a drink at a bar in the Veronicas in spanish and nearly got thrown out for doing so! Only the fact it turned out the manager had gone to school with him (Tenerife's english school that is) prevented it. Basically they don't let the locals into the bars, and since no english person would dream of speaking spanish if they didn't have to it was a total give away.....

such a shame that the other folk on the planet think the rest of the people on this island are fat brainless fucks.Its embarrassing.

If it wasn't for the Americans, we'd be in real trouble. At least we're not the fattest or the most brainless ...
