San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - The San Francisco Giants and relief
pitcher Santiago Casilla have agreed to a three-year deal, pending a physical
Casilla, who was entering his final year of salary-arbitration eligibility,
will make $15 million over the span of his new deal with a club/vesting option
for 2016, according to multiple news outlets.
The 32-year-old right-hander appeared in 73 regular-season games for the 2012
World Series champions, compiling a 7-6 record with a 2.84 earned run average
and a team-high 25 saves.
Casilla played a key role in the Giants' championship run, surrendering just
one earned run over seven innings and was the winning pitcher in the Game 4
World Series clincher against Detroit.
After spending his first six seasons in Oakland, Casilla joined the Giants in
2010 and has amassed a 16-10 record with a 2.22 ERA and 33 saves in 174 relief
appearances over three seasons in San Francisco.
In 326 career games, all in relief, Casilla owns a 22-14 record with a 3.62
ERA and 37 saves over nine seasons with the A's and Giants.

I have been testing the generic client, and I have many problems with it, as it happened with previous versions.
I can login and retrieve the message list, but when I open a message it is impossible to do anything with it. For example, I can't scroll down, reply, flag , delete it... Another thing that is not responding is the touch screen. I have to use the cursor arrows if I want to move down the message list or dialog elements.
Compose, search and folder navigation all work properly.
By the way, I have an HTC Kaiser with WM6.0 and Esmertec Jbed 20070822.3.1. Opera Mini runs without issues.
Any chance of finding a solution? ZimbraME looks very promising and useful to me.
Thanks a lot.

We've assembled this on-line encyclopedia of knitting
and crochet facts, abbreviations and instructions to help you find
exactly the information that you need to make your project a
success! You can probably immediately find the information you need by typing key words or phrases
into the search box below.
Gauge is the term that is used to define the proper tension you should work to insure that the crocheted piece you make will be the right size when it's completed. The hook size listed in the pattern is just the size used by the designer to work at the proper gauge. You may need to change hook size in order to work at the given gauge. It is especially important to work to the proper gauge when making garments -- anything that you want to fit properly!
Gauge is usually defined in the pattern by a ratio of stitches and rows to a given measurement such as 16 stitches and 14 rows in single crochet = 4". You should always work a swatch of fabric (approximately 4" x 4") in the stitch pattern of the piece you are making. Then count the number of stitches and rows in the measurement designated by the gauge given in the pattern. If you find that your swatch has more stitches and rows than the gauge, you are working too tightly so change to a larger hook and try again. If you have fewer stitches and rows in the area, you are working too loosely and should try a smaller hook. Keep changing hook size until you arrive at the proper gauge.

OK - I'm toast on this -
I FOOLISHLY exported and then uninstalled ZD 1.0.4 because I needed IMAP support for Exchange on one client account. ENOUGH SAID ABOUT MY BAD
I did, of course export everything - thanks to God.
I ran the ZD uninstall 1st, and told it to delete data.
Downloaded the 2.0.1 MSI installer and had a go at it...
The setup runs, and does the basic code install but it never configures and launches the Desktop. If you have checked the Run Zinbra Desktop now box - you would expect the configuration script to run, I guess ???
nope - just a flash of a command window then nothing.
I have narrowed down the issue a bit -
Instead of getting a Zimbra folder in c:\Documents and Settings\%user%\Local Settings\Application Data, I got two "stubs" - one named 'VMware\Zimbra Desktop" and a second (probably from my second installation effort) 'VMware Inc\Zimbra Desktop".
both are empty - no configuration data (as I checked against an XP Pro machine I installed on which seemed to configure OK.
XP Media Center 2002 SP3
I'd guess at an OS version check that did not work properly, and choked. :eek:
Who knows?
BUT - I am stuck, and that's the machine I need to use with Zimbra at work.

House Backs Harsher Seat Belt Charge
Delegates pass legislation to make failure to buckle up a primary offense in W.Va.

Just another "Revenue Enhancement" for government to profit from the Nanny State Tyranny over your life.
Sure Seat belts WORK. They SAVE LIVES. No Argument from me.

NO! Let them prove Darwin correct and eliminate themselves from the Gene Pool 'cuz dey is STUUUUPID, Mon!!

Yet ANOTHER example of a CORRUPT and TYRANNICAL government trying to FORCE driver to do what THEY want!!!
If I decide NOT to wear a seat belt, I am causing NOBODY any risk of injury except MYSELF!!!
And making it a FIRST offense is simply an attempt to ratchet up the police state so that cops have yet ANOTHER bogus reason to pull you over and start their un- constitutional "fishing" expeditions!
The ONLY reason seat belt and helmet laws even exist is because of MASSIVE bribes paid by the insurance lobby!!!
EVERYONE who voted for this needs to be THROWN out of office!!!

Nice turnout here by the freedom people but that stuff is pretty predictable. Here is something you can do for fun, whenever you are out driving and are passed or see people driving with no seat belts, notice how nice their car is. Or if they are also smoking and if there are kids in the car ready to launch through the windshield of their $500 car and inhale cigarette smoke like minnies in an aquarium. I don't care if morons with points on their license or previous DUIs can afford a real car, and I don't care if they choke to death on their cigs, but we should not neglect the health of the kids cuz all cars have seat belts. The story about the crack head having kids in a total trash house got the standard punish the skank remarks but I would bet she doesn't wear a seat belt either and she smokes around her neglected kids. "Stupid is as stupid does:-F. Gump. If you don't wear a seat belt you are not a freedom fighter, you are an idiot.

Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. For this treatment, you will see a medical oncologist. This is a doctor who specializes in using drugs to treat cancer. For malignant mesothelioma, your doctor may give you more than 1 drug. This is called combination chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy may be your main treatment. You may get it before surgery to shrink the tumor. Or you may get it after surgery or radiation therapy to try to kill leftover cancer cells. You may also get it as part of a clinical trial in the operating room after an operation.
Most people with malignant mesothelioma have chemotherapy in an outpatient part of the hospital, at the doctor's office, or at home. In some cases, depending on your health or the drugs you take, you may need to stay in the hospital during treatment.
The doctor may give you chemotherapy as a pill or in your veins via an intravenous line (IV). Then, it's delivered to your entire body, which is systemic treatment. You may also get chemotherapy directly into your chest or abdomen. In that case, it's local treatment.
Doctors give chemotherapy in cycles. This means you will switch off between chemotherapy treatments and rest periods. Each treatment and rest period make up 1 cycle. You'll likely have more than 1 cycle of treatment.
Several chemotherapy regimens are in common use to treat mesotheliomas today. Most common is a combination of pemetrexed and cisplatin. Because pemetrexed interferes with levels of folic acid and vitamin B12 in the body, you will need to take supplements of these 2 vitamins in order to avoid certain side effects.
Other chemotherapy drugs used to treat mesothelioma include:
Chemotherapy for malignant mesothelioma is usually given in combinations of 2 or more of these drugs. However, some people are unable to tolerate chemotherapy combinations so a single drug may be used. In addition to the drugs listed here, there are several other drugs under investigation to determine their effectiveness in treating mesothelioma.
Your doctor will explain what your treatment plan will be and what you can expect. The length of each treatment period differs depending on the type of drug you take. With many types of chemotherapy, monthly treatments are common. Sometimes you may get chemotherapy more often.

Alison Brie, Teresa Palmer, Emilia Clarke And More Being Tested For Captain America: The Winter Soldier
By Eric Eisenberg 2012-10-02 17:49:40 comments
Because the end of Captain America: The First Avenger turned Steve Rogers into a capsicle for 70 years, it was pretty obvious that Haley Atwells role as Peggy Carter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe would be reduced to a one-time thing (barring any cameos with her in old age makeup). That said, Cap is still a young guy in the post-Avengers world and is going to need a female lead to keep things interesting. Add the latest rumor about Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Deadline has apparently gotten its hands on the list of actresses testing for the romantic interest in the upcoming superhero sequel. According to the site, Marvel Studios is currently testing "Game of Thrones Emilia Clarke, Downton Abbeys Jessica Findlay Brown, Warm Bodies Teresa Palmer, Knight Of Cups Imogen Poots and The Five Year Engagements Alison Brie" for the part.
But whoever it may be, its possible she wont be the only major female character in the movie. The source of the news is also hearing that Scarlett Johanssons Black Widow may play a role in the movie as well. As of now few details are known about the movie, but Joe and Anthony Russo are set to direct and in addition to Chris Evans the movie will also feature Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie.
Brie is an interesting name to see on this list, as the Russos are executive producers on and have directed many episodes of Community. Id personally love to see her get the part, as shes been great in everything shes in, from The Five Year Engagement to Mad Men.
But what do you think? Of the actresses above who would you want to see play the female lead in Captain America: The Winter Soldier? Let us know in the comments section.

|Pictures by JAMES VYN
PICTURES FROM LAST WEEK My mind has been lately tortured ( well of course I exagerate a bit, don't pay attention to the word…) about many important life choices. As you might know, I am in my last year of high school. A lot of exams are soon showing up, a big essay to write, a university to choose. Oh my gosh, I can tell you, it's a lot of pressure but somehow I manage, thanks to my familiy and friends who support me. Also I do feel lucky to have those choices, I mean some people don't and just follow a road already written. But you know, my blog is one of my biggest passion, and it brings so many interesting opportunities that I decided to concentrate on it for a while before my univeristy, and I think this should be a good decision.
Let's forget all this stress, if you are in the middle of your exam let's talk about something more pleasant, such as the outfit of the day. Let me introduce you to another www.romwe.com dress, I thought that it was so Miu Miu ( they also have those dresses with little pearls embelishments in the front, so classy). And guess what, it's nude and black : the perfect combo I'll say. So I paired this gown to my new Steve Madden platform heels, perhaps you saw them in my last goodies post. I bought them in Dubai and love them. Also what about the blazer that James' lend me for the day, I always thought that wearing men garments adds something special to a look, and I love how it turns out here.

|CHS successfully raises over 2 million meals
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Grainland Co-op held its 2nd annual Harvest for Hunger drive March 1-20. The drive collected 220 pounds of food and $1,775 in cash and grain. Donated items are pictured. The drive was in cooperation with the CHS Inc. goal of raising 2 million meals for families in need. Through programs such as the food drive, CHS surpassed their goal of 2 million meals.
Grainland general manager Rick Unrein said the locally-donated goods will be distributed to the Holyoke, Haxtun and Julesburg food banks. CHS Inc. and Grainland will match the money donated, and the funds will go to the Food Bank of the Rockies in Denver. —Enterprise photo

Greensboro, NC - Five thousand people have something extra to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, all because of a local church.
Lawndale Baptist Church in Greensboro held its 4th Annual Feeding the 5,000 event Tuesday morning. Volunteers passed out boxes filled with enough food to feed a five-person family to the first 1,000 people in line.
Each box has a turkey, stuffing, potatoes, green beans plus more all going to people who otherwise couldn't afford it.
Update: Church Officials that the doors opened at 9am and the 1,000 prepared boxes were gone within an hour. They did have an additional 1,000 bags of food that contained everything but turkey and those went just as quickly.
"I think this is one of the ways people can see love and faith and believe in people's actions," said Sallie, a woman in the line. "It shows that good works really can make a difference. They're truly good people in this world, especially during the holidays," she said.
The church also gave away free passes to the 2012 Lawndale Baptist Greensboro Christmas Spectacular on Dec. 8th and 9th. For more information on how you can get tickets to this Broadway style musical be sure to contact the church office. Call 336-288-3824.

Plymouth, MN-- Many of us thought we'd seen it all when it comes to the winter of 2012-2013.
Think again.
On a day in which spring made its return to Minnesota with a vengeance, Nadalie Thomas caught Old Man Winter making his last stand with an ice-shattering spectacle known to some as "chandeliering."
Nadalie and her kids were down on the shores of Medicine Lake in Plymouth Saturday when they noticed large piles of ice that were splintering into fine shards similar to glass. As spectacular as the visual image was the ear-splitting sound that accompanied the icy scene.
Thomas shot video of the phenomena and sent it in to KARE 11.
Meteorologist Jerrid Sebesta was so impressed at the unusual occurrence that he showed Nadalie's video on his weathercast at both 5 and 10 p.m. Jerrid says the remaining ice is very brittle due to the sun and warm temps, and at some point it reaches the state where ice first crystalizes.
The ice then splinters, creating a racket in the process.
One viewer emailed Mr. Sebesta claiming that it is known as "chandeleiring ice." Another friend of Jerrid's claims that a similar occurrence happened on the shores of Lake Mille Lacs back in 1994, leaving piles of ice shards so large they had to be removed by front end loaders.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Somebody has to take the fall when an organization becomes as laughable as the Washington Wizards and on Tuesday, Wizards head coach Flip Saunders was handed a pink slip from owner Ted Leonsis.
The move was first reported by Yahoo!'s Adrian Wojnarowski but has been widely speculated since the beginning of the season. The Wizards 2-15 start is easily the worst in franchise history and they rank near the bottom of the league in both points scored (88.6) and points allowed (99.3).
Saunders had no idea what he was getting himself into when he was hired back in April of 2009. Sure the money was amazing (four years, $18 million). Still, the Wizards were a franchise who had committed its entire existence on Gilbert Arenas -- a glorified clown in the locker room with no concrete concept of how to win in the NBA.
NBA.com Blog: Flip Out, Wittman In
After imploding the roster of solid veterans in Caron Butler and Antwan Jamison, the Wizards organization knew things were going to become rocky. But Ted Leonsis and especially the groaning fan base had no idea basketball would fall below the Redskins level of embarrassment in Washington.
Saunders necessarily isn't a terrible coach. It was more as if he was dealt a terrible hand. The Wizards players are some of the more immature in all of sports. They neglect their responsibilities as athletes to
Problem number one for the Wizards is seventh year forward Andray Blatche, who confirmed on 106.7 The Fan that the players "somewhat tuned out" Saunders this season. Blatche has been relentless booed and bashed on Twitter and many including myself think he could be on his way out the door next. Watching Blatche throw up an air ball or miss a rotation on defense became the epitome of the Saunders era in Washington.
The other gigantic conundrum became that the players didn't respect Saunders enough to work on their individual basketball skills during the lockout. John Wall's jump shot has regressed. JaVale McGee's post game is still erratic. Andray Blatche ... is still Andray Blatche, and not the leader he proclaimed himself to be in early December.
Kudos to Ted Leonsis for swallowing his pride and shelling out the cash necessary to rid the organization of Saunders. Leonsis has preached about rebuilding a sports team as a slow and painful process, but at a certain point, enough was enough. The Wizards players were never going to fully trust and listen to Saunders.

Three antievolution bills die in Alabama
May 3, 2005, was the final day for proposed legislation to pass in either the House or the Senate and still have a chance of passing in the other chamber of the Alabama legislature. Among the dozens of bills that died were HB 352, HB 716 and SB 240.
Stickers must go, says federal court
When Judge Clarence Cooper ruled that the evolution disclaimers in the Cobb County School District's textbooks were unconstitutional, he also ordered the stickers to be removed. Because of the time needed, he subsequently allowed the removal to be scheduled for the summer of 2005. Nevertheless, the Cobb County School District asked the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to stay the order, pending its decision on the district's appeal of Selman. On May 3, 2005, a three-judge panel denied the Cobb County School District's request.
East Porter approves biology textbook
On April 25, 2005, the board of the East Porter County (Indiana) School Corporation voted 6-1 to adopt science textbooks recommended by a district committee. Several board members had previously raised questions about the proposed biology texts because they contained material about evolution, but not about creationism or other "alternative theories," and a decision on the textbooks was delayed to allow board members time to inspect the proposed texts.
Warning: This journal contains evolution
For its April 28, 2005, issue, the illustrious science journal Nature put a "warning label" about evolution on its front cover. The warning label reads:
This journal contains material on evolution. Evolution by natural selection is a theory, not a fact.

Following Andy Roddick + Nikolay Davydenko's lead, an argyle-happy Rafael Nadal was spotted with girlfriend Xisca Perello arriving in The City of Lights for the Paris Masters this week.
I have to say Rafisca make a very fine looking couple. They're easily the most stylish couple in tennis right now - I'm loving all the browns, greys, and blacks in their outfits and the dueling scarves. Yummy.
Plus, they both have a relaxed elegance about themselves. Could it be they're actually comfortable in their own skins? Say it isn't so!

"Ich mag einen Kaffee." This is how Melissa Cantu began most days this summer. As an intern conducting research in Duisburg, Germany, her day started as early as 7 a.m., and coffee was a vital part of her day.
Cantu, a senior math major, performed research through the Research Internships in Science and Engineering program run by the German Academic Exchange Service. RISE is a summer internship program for undergraduate students from the United States, Canada and United Kingdom. It offers unique opportunities for students to work with research groups at universities and top research institutions across Germany.
"I think this is a great opportunity for any student that is interested in expanding not only as a professional in the lab, but also as a person," Cantu said.
Cantu's research focused on the production of silicone nanoparticles, a complex process that utilizes a reactor to decompose gas particles and create plasma used to heat gas and make a powder. This powder is used in several applications including electronics and lasers; however, Cantu's main interest is in biomedical applications.
Because the silicone nanoparticles are fluorescent they can be attached to bio molecules that target certain cells and allow researchers to visualize where in the body these cells are situated.
The research allowed Cantu to work closely with students from other countries with different areas of studies and build interdisciplinary and global connections.
"You learn to work as a team and be happy about it," Cantu said. "You learn not only to be happy, but to be relentless in what you are doing. The most important thing is that at the end of the day, even if everything fails, even if you didn't get any results at all, you should be happy because tomorrow you can try something else."
Aside from research, the 10-week internship provided German language courses and opportunities to travel within the country.
Cantu credits Dr. Birgit Mellis, assistant professor of physics, as being an important influence in her decision to study physics and apply for the internship in Germany. It was Mellis who, two years ago, while visiting colleagues in Germany got the idea to provide UST students the opportunity to conduct research on a larger scale. After learning the German government already had programs in place, she encouraged Cantu to apply.
"I am happy she got to experience it and that it worked out for her," Mellis said. "I think if you are going to work in this field it is very important to get practical experience. To go abroad and do research with a group from all around the world, it lets you grow as a person."

In October 2013, Pharm Exec released its "12th Annual Pharmaceutical Industry Audit" ( http://www.ittybittyurl.com/Wbi/ ), which identifies how well companies advance shareholder value by evaluating eight benchmark corporate metrics. This audit ranked Novo Nordisk, Gilead Sciences, Biogen-Idec, Celgene, and Roche (in order) as the top five pharmaceutical companies. Editorial Advisory Board member Stan Bernard of Bernard Associates conducted an analysis of these five industry stalwarts to identify seven habits that drive their success. Here are his conclusions – William Looney, Editor in Chief.
Biopharma's best companies provide valuable lessons for preparing, planning, and playing to win. Here's how:
1 Commit To and Execute a Specialty Mission
2 Knowingly Pursue and Develop the Best Products
HECs cleverly hunt for the best internal and external drug candidates and efficiently develop these compounds. They demonstrate exceptional scientific acumen, clinical judgment, and R&D leadership, the three top traits of successful R&D organizations, according to a recent BCG 10-year analysis of 842 developmental molecules. Moreover, HECs knowingly pursue compounds that their rivals might consider irrational gambles. For example, Gilead in 2011 took a seemingly huge risk by acquiring Pharmasset and its lead Hepatitis C ("HCV") antiviral compound sofosbuvir for $11 billion, the "largest deal ever for a company with no products in late stage development and valued at a 98% premium to its previous closing price," according to FirstWord Pharma. Sofosbuvir was considered a particularly risky compound since previous NS5B polymerase inhibitors for HCV had failed clinical development.
In fact, Gilead's senior leadership – including three top executives with science Ph.D.'s and over twenty years' experience at the company – made a shrewd scientific and strategic decision. The company relied on its leading anti-viral research experts and knowledge of nucleotides from its HIV research to place a huge bet that so far appears to have paid off. The FDA last month approved sofosbuvir under the brand name "Sovaldi," and FactSet Research Systems projects annual sales of the drug to reach $6.4 billion by 2017. Gilead exhibited the audit's highest "Enterprise Value Growth" measure for its unmatched operational efficiency.
Similarly, Celgene took a big strategic risk by developing a derivative of the notorious drug Thalidomide into the $4 billion blockbuster Revlimid for multiple myeloma. Not resting on its laurels, Celgene has emerged as "biotech's shrewdest, nimblest dealmaker" which is "fast building the biotech industry's best network of partnerships with innovators," comments Xconomy Biotech.
The company has acquired strategic players such as Pharmion and Abraxis Bioscience; partnered with many IPO companies such as Epizyme and Agios Pharmaceuticals; and invested in "some of the best venture-backed companies in the hottest areas of biomedicine," including epigenetics, immunotherapy, and regenerative medicine. According to Celgene's SVP Business Developmet George Golumbeski, "We tend to be looking for things that could be transformative, truly step-ahead therapies, not just incremental gains."

Brooklyn, NY (Sports Network) - James Harden and Carlos Delfino paced the
Rockets with 22 points apiece and Houston continued its recent dominance over
the Nets with a 106-96 victory at Barclays Center on Friday.
The Rockets were deadly from 3-point range, especially Harden and Delfino, who
combined for 10 of Houston's 16 makes from long distance and each nailed one
down the stretch to seal the victory.
Omer Asik compiled a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds in the

text: What is the best approach for installing zimbra prior to deployment? I know we will want to use an existing domain name with forward and reverse DNS, but not sure how zimbra would handle the host name change. I would like to use zimbra.ourdomain with a temporary IP address to do our initial configuration and then switch to the production mail.ourdomain with the current IP address when we go live. We are looking at the appliance version.


text: Hi all. I work for the IT dept for my company and we recently purchased and installed some IBM Thinkpad Edge E-530s and have since upgraded to Zimbra 8 Mail Client. One of the laptops is doing something funky and I can't figure out how to resolve this issue. The spell check doesn't always pick up misspelled words. For example, the user that is presently using the laptop was writing an email and punched in "chaneg" instead of "change" and it didn't pick up that it was a misspelled word. It has done this on several other words as well and I have no idea how to fix this issue. He is the only user with this issue. The laptop is running Windows 7 Pro, and as I stated before, is only happening on this one machine. Any suggestions or help would be GREATLY appreciated!

A user complained about being unable to view the attached message in the Zimbra web client. It's some sort of "funny" image (or pehaps HTML) that has been forwarded from a couple of AOL users before being received by my user. As a result the actual message is nested in 2 or 3 attachments as each AOL user forwarded it as an attachment to the next.
Looking into it I found that under IE 6.0 I can get into the nested attachments one level but then start getting JavaScript errors. Under FireFox 1.0.7 I can get to the same level but then FireFox itself hangs.
Personally I would just delete such a message as a matter of course but unfortunately I can't tell the user that!
Basically I am wondering if handling this type of message reflects a problem/bug with the Zimbra web client that perhaps is already being worked on?
For reference I'm on the zcs-3.0.0_M4_62 open source release running on Fedora Core 3. It's been upgraded through all open source releases since M2_740 with no problems during each of the upgrades.
Thanks Much!

|5 gold medals, record-breaking relay highlight State Track last weekend
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Relay grabs gold, sets state record
HHS not only won the 4x200 relay at the 2A State Track Meet, but broke the state record in the process. Team members are pictured after their win, from left, Marissa Smith, Marci Vasa, Mallory Bennett and Heather Duester.

4 golds in 1 meet
HHS senior Marissa Smith lived her dream of claiming four gold medals in the Colorado State 2A Track Championships. She won the 100, 200 and 400 meter races and anchored the 4x200 meter relay.

Repeat Gold
HHS senior Kyle Carper repeated as the 2A State Triple Jump Champion last weekend at the state meet at Jeffco Stadium in Lakewood.

Four individual gold medals plus a gold-medal relay effort that set a new 2A State record capped a terrific track season for the Holyoke Dragons last weekend at Jeffco Stadium in Lakewood.
Senior Marissa Smith added crowning glory to her high school track career when she nabbed four gold medals, with the help of a relay team for one of them.
It was a top-notch day for the girls' relay team Friday when juniors Heather Duester, Mallory Bennett and Marci Vasa joined Smith to win the 4x200 in 1:45.69.
It wasn't until they climbed to the top of the awards stand, to the tune of the State Track Meet announcer, that they learned they had broken Limon's 2006 record of 1:46.45.
It was especially sweet for the Dragons, who went into the finals seeded second, having clocked a 1:46.79 prelim time behind Akron's 1:46.66. And in 2009, the Dragon team had placed second behind the Rams.
But this year, the Holyoke quartet bested the second-place Akron team in the finals by 1.04 seconds for a clear victory.
"We were just going for first place," said Duester, who said they were pretty excited when they were getting their medals to find out they'd broken a state record.
"It was the icing on the cake," added Bennett. "It was definitely the best part of the track meet."
Senior Kyle Carper made it to the top of the awards stand for the third straight year when he won the triple jump Friday afternoon. His previous golds included long jump in 2008 and both long and triple jumps in 2009.
Smith is the first Lady Dragon to claim four golds in a state meet, and joins an elite group of only two others in HHS history. Brandon Brown won four golds as a junior in 1998 and Russell Sprague earned four golds as a senior in 1999.
Last year, as a junior, Smith won the 200 and 400 meter races. This year, she grabbed the gold individually in the 100, 200 and 400 and anchored the 4x200 record-breaking relay.
Smith said she's been dreaming about achieving four gold medals at state since she was very young. "It felt good to actually live it," she added, acknowledging the role her relay teammates played in achieving her goal.
It was a big State Meet for the whole Dragon team, as both the girls and boys came away with third-place team finishes.

So I'm passing some time this afternoon checking out the Bracket Project Matrix, noticing that we are in 80/81 of the published projections. So I check and see which one is leaving us out and it's some blog called Big Underdog. Go to check it out and sure enough, we're out!
The most ridiculous part of it is that two days ago before the Texas game this same guy had us as a #6 seed. So...we lose one game on a neutral court to a likely tournament team and according to this guy we go all the way from a Top 24 seed to being completely out of it. Funniest thing is that we're not even in the Next Four Out or even the Next Six Out.
I'm not getting my panties all up in a bunch just because this one guy has us out, but I thought it was worth posting just so we could all point and laugh.
"The fact that anybody can say anything does not mean that anything anybody says is worth hearing"
What a dumb ***...
Well I am sure he will feel smart when selection Sunday rolls around and that ISU team is indeed included in the tournament...
Dumb ***....
So we went from a 6 seed to not even in the next 10 out with a loss to UT. Thats comical.
Lol Wow. That is funny. Maybe he just forgot about us otherwise he should probably just stop predicting things.
Maybe he just made a mistake, I bet by tomw morning will be back on there..

Go Dragons
Go Clones
Go Ducks
He dropped us at least 55 spots because of the loss to Texas. The smallest drop possible would have been from #24 to #79. Could have been more
I figure the only reason we are not even mentioned is that he forgot us.. That is not something that is even feasible with a loss to a likely tourney team.
K State and TX in but not us. Funny, but would be so freaking wrong if it did happen.
Looks like he just completely forgot about us.
I think he just forgot about us...
Originally Posted by ISUCyclones2015

Yeah, one would hope so, but even if it is just an honest mistake it's hard to take him seriously if he could just forget about a team that he gave a #6 seed two days ago.
This is why these guys have these sites. Create controversy to gain hits. Nothing to see here.
To quote Larry
"Where is there doubt about the NCAA tournament? Is there doubt? They are talking about Mississippi State at No. 71. We are 13th in RPI and 48th in strength of schedule. There is no doubt that we are in this tournament. We always get better off of loses. Things work out for a reason. People who say we are not in the tournament, are idiots. They are idiots. They obviously aren't going by what the NCAA is going by. The criteria is based off of RPI and strength of schedule. You are not allowed to factor anything else in. So, put that in your pipe and smoke it. See what you come up with. Some guy on TV said "I would really be mad if Southern Miss makes it in and South Florida doesn't."
"We beat South Florida! The guy didn't even know that we played them. That is what we are dealing with—some idiots. This (the tournament) is just like the BCS, it is a machine. There aren't 12 basketball coaches in that room, it is a computer."
Isn't it difficult to forget something that you either write out or type out? He could just look at what he already had and decide what changed/didn't change.
Maybe he's not real precise in his methodology, and he did just forget. Looks like he's either forgetful or sloppy, so a true professional is he.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE INSTITUTE (ELI)Intensive English Program
External Programs
Academic Support Program
International Teaching Assistant Program
For the non-native speaker of English, The University of Alabama English Language Institute (ELI), a part of Capstone International, offers two types of year-round English-language programs: the Intensive English Program is designed for individuals who are seeking intensive English study, while External Programs are designed for groups who desire highly specialized curricula. In addition, the ELI has two programs for matriculated students at The University of Alabama: the International Teaching Assistant Program, which trains and evaluates international graduate teaching assistants, and the Academic Support Program, which provides opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students who may want or need additional English-language instruction.
The ELI Intensive English Program (IEP) is designed for individuals who need to learn English as a second language. The focus of the program is on preparing students for academic success, both in English-language proficiency and cultural awareness, in undergraduate and graduate study at The University of Alabama.
Six levels of study, from beginning to advanced, are available. Each level consists of 20 hours of core classes per week; additional optional classes are also available for students who wish to take them. Each level of study lasts approximately eight weeks and is available six times per year with sessions beginning in August, October, January, March, May, and June. Students may begin their English study at the beginning of any one of these sessions.
An ELI student wishing to enter an undergraduate degree program at The University of Alabama may meet UA's English proficiency requirements either by obtaining the required TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) score or by completing Level 6 with a GPA of 3.0 in Levels 4, 5, and 6. Undergraduates who meet certain conditions (minimum TOEFL score and GPA) become eligible to enroll in undergraduate courses while completing their ELI program of study. The number of UA courses that an eligible student may take is determined by the ELI. Students pursuing graduate study must complete Levels 4, 5, and 6 with a GPA of 3.5. In certain cases, the Graduate School, the ELI, and the student's academic department may together grant permission for a student who has completed Level 4 or higher with a minimum GPA of 3.5 to enroll in one graduate course per semester while completing the ELI program of study. The specific course must be approved by the instructor and department prior to enrollment.
Students who apply for admission to UA and meet the academic and financial qualifications to enter the University but do not have TOEFL scores available or do not meet the TOEFL score requirement may be given the institutional version of the TOEFL examination upon arrival. Students who do not obtain the required minimum score on the institutionally administered version of the TOEFL will not be eligible to begin an academic program and will be required to register for full-time study in the ELI until they meet the TOEFL requirement or satisfactorily complete the ELI program as outlined above.
Intensive English Program Courses
Structure: Levels One to Six. ELI Structure Courses provide students with the basic grammatical structures they will need to communicate effectively in English in four language skill areas: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Each Structure Course emphasizes communication-—both comprehension (listening and reading) and production (speaking and writing). Structure courses meet five hours per week.
Speaking/Listening: Levels One to Six. ELI courses in spoken English provide students with the opportunity to improve their listening and speaking skills and to gain confidence in using English to communicate orally. Students practice appropriate conversation management skills, receive instruction on problem areas of pronunciation, and learn useful vocabulary. These activities are carried on through a variety of classroom exercises that focus on the everyday situations students are likely to encounter while adjusting to life in the United States. Speaking/Listening courses meet five hours per week.
Reading/Writing: Levels One to Six. The Reading/Writing curriculum of the English Language Institute is designed to provide students with both the skills and the practice that is necessary for them to develop satisfactory reading and writing skills in English and eventually to function successfully in U.S. university courses where extensive academic reading and essay writing are required. Skill instruction and accessible, varied, and challenging tasks invite students to invest their time and energy in constructing meaning from written texts, responding to those texts, and producing writings of their own. Students will acquire new vocabulary and develop effective reading strategies for different types of tests. Working on closely related reading and writing assignments, students will develop proficiency in understanding what they read and in thinking, drafting, and revising their own ideas by working through the writing process with input from their classmates and teachers.
Oral Communication. Oral Communication (OC) is designed to help students improve their skills and proficiency in both speaking and understanding oral English. The focus of the class is on "real world English" rather than academic English. Students' oral proficiency in English will improve as a result of a variety of classroom tasks and activities. In addition, instructional activities will occasionally take place outside of the classroom in order to take advantage of opportunities in community settings. Oral Communication is divided into two separate eight-week sessions—OC I and OC II—each of which meets for 10 hours per week.
Optional Classes. The ELI offers several choices of optional courses. Some examples of optional courses are TOEFL Preparation, Pronunciation, American Culture, Current Events, Business English, English Through Current Events, English Through Music, and Web Page Design. Optional classes typically meet two or three hours per week.
Conversation Partner Program. Through the Culturally Speaking class, ELI students meet regularly with American students to converse in English in relaxed surroundings. Culturally Speaking provides a comfortable way for ELI students to form friendships with American students and to practice their English.
Culture and Language Exchange Program. The Culture and Language Exchange Program matches the ELI student's native language. Once matched, these pairs or groups of students then meet as often as they like for conversation practice in both English and in the particular foreign language.

Teenager faces charges in Kwik King burglaries
Published: Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 12:40 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 12:40 p.m.
Marion County Sheriff's Office detectives arrested a teenage boy Thursday morning for reportedly burglarizing a convenience store twice and stealing approximately $500 worth of energy drinks, coins and other items.
The first burglary occurred Tuesday at the Kwik King at 14725 S. U.S. 441, during which Monster Energy drinks valued at $225 and Four Lokos drink valued at an estimated $250 were taken.
On Wednesday, officials said, during a second burglary the same suspect busted a coin machine and removed some coins and also took numerous cans of Twisted Tea.
Surveillance video images showed an individual wearing jeans, a light colored shirt and black shoes emerging from a hole and picking up an ax, which he used to whack a camera multiple times, causing it to point away from the direction of the hole.
Detective Thomas Tingue, however, was able to retrieve the video, which showed clear images of the person. Tingue was able to identify the teen and began looking for him.
Detectives received information that the 15-year-old was possibly staying in a wooded area in the 10200 block of Southeast 130th Street. Deputy Jeffrey Boyles met with a woman near the location, who said that while she was awaiting his arrival she noticed lights were turning on and off and blinds were moving in a house nearby.
Boyles discovered the owner of the home was deceased and reached out to that person's daughter, who came to the location. They went inside and found the teenager sitting on the floor in a bedroom. In his possession were a large roofing hammer, a can of Twisted Tea and multiple lighters.
The boy told the detective he stole the lighters from the store and had used the hammer to gain access.
In addition to being charged with commercial burglary and grand theft, the boy, who is not being named because of his age, also faces charges of residential burglary and possession of burglary tools.

Our Deloitte team members competed on October 18, 2013 against the University of Minnesota, the University of Saint Thomas, the University of Northern Iowa and the University of North Dakota in the Minneapolis Audit Case Competition sponsored by Deloitte, one of the Big 4 International CPA firms. Our students' case dealt with accounting for treasury stock under US GAAP and IFRS.
To compete in the case, the team researched the US GAAP and IFRS accounting rules related to methods of accounting for treasury stock, correction of errors versus changes in accounting and other technical issues. They prepared a great set of PowerPoint slides outlining the issues and accounting requirements entailed in the case. And they practiced. And practiced. They needed to be ready to face a panel of Deloitte partners, first to provide 10 minutes of prepared comments, and second to spend 10 minutes answering questions.
The team did a fabulous job, garnering kudos from the judges for their approach and their value-added suggestions.

A group of Ford Motor Co. retirees is calling for rejection of the automaker's offer of a lump-sum payment instead of monthly pension checks, the Detroit Newsreported June 27.
The Ford Actions Impacting Retirees Alliance, or FAIR, hired a team of lawyers, consultants and accountants to review the proposal Ford made this month, and in a letter to its members, advised against accepting the buyout, the newspaper reported.
By the end of the summer, Ford will offer between 12,000 and 15,000 of its white-collar retirees in the United States the option to receive a one-time payment instead of their monthly pension checks. There are about 98,000 white-collar Ford retirees.
Retirees are not required to accept the lump-sum payment, and Don Whitehouse, president of FAIR, which is headquartered in Madisonville, Kentucky, told theNewsthat the letter to the organization's members says that the pension system is the most fair choice for the retirees.
"There is no possible way that we can receive better returns on investments with the existing stock market, CDs or any other financial choices without taking a loss and Ford Motor Co. knows that very well," the letter read, according to theNews.
FAIR didn't immediately respond to an interview request. The organization has more than 3,000 members, according to its website.
The automaker has $15.4 billion in unfunded pension liabilities that it hopes to reduce through the buyout offer.
While the plan may make sense for Ford, Whitehouse told theNewsthat only one retiree has told him that he planned to accept the lump-sum offer.
"I've only had one person—of all the people we've been in contact with -- who said he'd take the buyout no matter what," Whitehouse told theNews. "His wife died, he has no kids and he has cancer. His doctor gave him three months to live."

VIDEO VAULT: Fed gives Nole's parents a verbal smackdown
Remember how I mentioned there's no love lost between Roger Federer + Novak Djokovic? Well I guess there's none between Fed and Nole's mommy + daddy either. Not that tennis fans needed proof, but here you go:

Wow, that Federer is a real classy guy telling old people to shut up. I can't imagine Sampras saying that to anyone's parents. It serves Fed right to have won by virtue of retirement. Maybe he should tell his pig Mirka to stop chowing down on pretzels and peanuts during the games.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 28, 2008 at 10:29 AM
he didn't tell anyone to shut up, he said "be quiet." there is a difference, especially when you're throwing around the word classy with sarcasm. did you watch the match? have you read the comments his family has made in the past? have you seen his family's behavior in past matches, namely the AO? i credit federer for staying so calm.ReplyDelete
I think Novak's family needs to learn to have some court side respect. Enthusiasm is one thing, but they take things to a new level. I don't think it was appropriate for Federer to comment - he maybe should have taken it up with the Umpire, but Novak's parents surely must test a person's patience. They're going to lose their kid some fans if they don't learn to calm down.ReplyDelete
The Djokovices are absolute Djerks, and if anyone has a problem with Fed telling them off, I say, to quote Beatrix Kiddo, "You're mother had it coming."ReplyDelete
If they want to spectate, they should spectate, and leave the line calling to the officials. Enough is enough with these people.
- AnonymousApril 29, 2008 at 4:03 PM
I totally agree with MMT. His family should watch and keep their mouths closed. He is losing fans faster than he gained them.ReplyDelete
He is a good player, but you have to question his fitness. He calls the trainer too much and I believe he quit to keep from getting stomped because he ran out of gas.

Rock Climbing Training: Do Forearm Trainers Work?
Gripmaster | Rock And Ice Forum
First, any type of grip trainer will be a very poor substitute to training on a climbing wall. I normally only recommend these gadgets for warming up or rehabilitating finger strains. However, they are certainly better than nothing if you can't get to a gym or use a hangboard. I recommend both the donuts and the Grip Masters for doing static contractions. There really isn't much difference between them. Don't pump them in and out too fast. Instead, squeeze them in for four or five seconds, release for two or three, then hold in again for four or five seconds and repeat until you get pumped. Train one arm at a time if you only have one device, although it is better to use two simultaneously. Use your fingertips and experiment with a half crimp and a full crimp. You can also try holding them above your head for a few contractions and then lowering your arm to shake out.
The gyrating balls are recommended for training the extensor muscles of the forearm. They can be a great way to avoid or rehabilitate elbow injuries, so thumbs up!Get some Metolius rock rings. They are portable and better than grip-trainers as they enable you to do hangs and pull-ups.

Rifle's finest will soon change their work schedules from 10 hours a day for four days to 12 hours a day for three days, with teams of officers and sergeants on rotating schedules so the city has more consistent and efficient police coverage every hour of every day of the year.
Police Chief John Dyer explained the reorganization plan to Rifle City Council at a Dec. 5 workshop. No formal approval from council was needed, but vocal support was given to the plan.
Dyer said one big reason for the change from the schedule used by retired chief Daryl Meisner was that there were times when only one officer was on duty.
"For me, that is a very big problem," Dyer told council. "There were also as many as eight officers on duty on Saturdays and Sundays, Tuesday morning would have only five out of 13 patrol officers working."
Scheduling was also "a nightmare," Dyer added.
"If one officer has a vacation or has to be in court, you have to change everyone's schedule around, and then there are other conflicts, so you're constantly changing things," he said. "There's also the issue of accountability and communication gets to be a real big problem."
Dyer's plan is to form four teams of two officers, overseen by a patrol sergeant. That would require the promotion of one officer to sergeant, Dyer added. The sergeants, who will also have patrol duties, would report to the operations lieutenant, who would report to Dyer, "making for a clear chain of command," he said.
Two teams will work 12 hours a day for three days a week, then have time off, while the other two teams work three other days a week for 12 hours a day and then get time off, Dyer said. Schedules will vary so each day has two teams on duty.
"This way, we don't have the scheduling issues and each sergeant is in charge of his own squad," Dyer explained. "And there's no time when only two officers are working, let alone one."
The new schedule will save the city overtime pay, eliminate the need for "stand by" sergeants to take a police vehicle home at night and allow the department to reduce its fleet by one vehicle, Dyer added.
"I can meet with all four sergeants on a regular basis, and I know the information will be given to all the officers," he said, eliminating the need for "all hands" meetings.
Over time, Dyer said the city should save money under the new schedule, which will take effect on Jan. 1. However, since one officer will be promoted to sergeant, with a higher salary, an estimate was hard to nail down, Dyer said.
"I think the savings in this plan will make up for the extra cost for the promotion," City Manager John Hier noted.
Dyer said officers' pay checks will not change under the new schedule, since they will work the same number of hours over the course of a 28-day work period.
Under federal Fair Labor Standards guidelines, police and firefighters can have their pay checks determined over 28 days, instead of the usual weekly or bi-weekly pay period, Dyer explained. The city personnel manual will be updated to reflect that fact, he said.
"The only downside is that 12 hours on duty can get to be a long time," Dyer added. "But they'll know they have to work for three days, they get three day weekends that can sometimes work out as four-day weekends. I've had positive feedback from the officers we have."
Officers interested in the promotion to sergeant will serve as an "acting sergeant" for a short time, so Dyer and the officer can see how the position fits.
The new schedule will be evaluated after six months, Dyer said.

Honored for Defense
Looks like Royals Hall of Fame second baseman Frank White and current Royals Manager Buddy Bell might have a chance to "play" baseball together for the first time in their careers. But, it's up to you, the fans, to make that happen…
Both Frank and Buddy are among a number of Major Leaguers looking for your vote to make the All-Time Rawlings Gold Glove defensive team. As part of its 50th anniversary celebration this year, Rawlings has created ballots to help fans pick the best defensive players in history.
White, who spent his entire career with Kansas City, won eight – yup, eight! – Gold Gloves from 1973-1990, including six straight from 1977 to 1982. At the time, the eight Gold Gloves in his career was an American League record for second baseman and, now, it still ranks as one of the highest in history for second baseman – Bill Mazeroski (8), Ryne Sandberg (9) and Roberto Alomar (10). Meanwhile, Bell is a six-time Gold Glove winner, picking up the honor in six consecutive seasons as the third baseman with the Texas Rangers (1979-1984).
Fans have the chance to vote for Frank and Buddy now through June 19 at www.rawlingsgoldglove.com or at select sporting good retailers.

Can't believe Jeter is on this list. It makes it mostly irrelevant.

Maybe it's because I grew up in the area and am use to the potential of 2' snow storms but I never understand the panic associated with them honestly. Before winter starts I keep old milk cartons and rinse them out. Then before a storm is coming I fill them up with water (just incase) and leave half of them outside to freeze (to stick in the freezer and fridge incase the power goes to keep things cool). So, I don't need to buy the overpriced bottles of water everyone fights over. Typically I go to the store 3-4 days before the "expected" storm and buy a handful of things: pop-tarts, bread, pb&j/fluff, and some fruit/snacks. Very basic items. I'm also an old time boy scout so I keep a bug-out bag handy with MRE's if it's sustained power loss. Say what you will but bug out bags take no effort to put together, take no room to store, and contain basic items most people use on a weekly basis.
But, I always find it hillarious listening and watching people panic and buy useless stuff they don't need. Some of the things I've seen bought that I really have to question:
Milk - It's extremely popular to buy milk before a storm but why? It's an item that needs to be in the fridge and it goes bad if you lose power for any extended period. You could leave it outside but why even bother. A couple days without milk won't kill you so why even buy something that goes bad if you can't keep it cold?
TV dinners - This confuses me on multiple levels. How are you suppose to keep them cold unless you leave them outdoors, how are you suppose to cook them unless you have a gas stove and manually lighting a modern gas stove might not be the brightest idea for most people unless you absolutely have to
Roman noodles - don't they need hot water? Again unless you have a gas stove which isn't bright for most people to manually light themselves or a fireplace you aren't going to get much use out of them
Ice cream - yes I've seen people stock up on ice cream, don't ask
Juices - see milk
Meat - if you lose power you're in trouble and that comes back to how are you going to cook it
Snow shoes - just incase it really snows 8' and you have to cross seas of snow to get help? (yes I've seen this)
At worst the roads will be bad for a couple of days why are you buying carts full of groceries in preparation for a long hold out. Does the snow bring zombies with it? Even if you lose power for weeks (happening a lot lately) resturants and supermarkets typically get power back quickly so there is always places to get food. I just never understand the basic panic that sets in with predictions of a big storm

Microsoft Corporation has said the next breakthrough software application will come from India, which develops more than 10 per cent of the apps and is home to one of the largest IT industries in the world.
"The fact that more than 10 per cent of the apps are being developed by Indian citizens is a great thing. People want to tap in and acknowledge the power Indian developers have. There is no secret that India has a lot of software developers," Joseph Landes, General Manager, DPE -Microsoft Corporation in an interview on the sidelines of the Build 2014 -- the annual developer's conference.
"I think, (what) we should do in India not just to be known in making apps. People know, we can do that and that we have great software developers. Now the next step would be to have that breakthrough app that everyone in the world uses and it came from India. That's a big thing. And we (Microsoft) spend a lot amount of time on it," he said.
"It (next breakthrough app in India) is not just possible, it is going to happen," said Landes, who is now based in Bangalore.
Microsoft, he said, has focused majorly on the Indian market. In fact, many of its new products including that of Nokia, which it has acquired, are being launched in India ahead of their US launch.
Microsoft Corporation is encouraging Indian developers to be innovative and come forward with their new ideas.
Describing the Indian market of great significance to Microsoft, Landes said many of the announcements made at its developer's conference are not only applicable to India, but also many of them would be available in there ahead of other countries.

Albuquerque, NM (SportsNetwork.com) - Joey DeMartino amassed 144 yards and
three touchdowns on only 12 carries to propel the Utah State Aggies to a 45-10
rout of the New Mexico Lobos on a Mountain West Conference tilt at University
DeMartino also tallied 41 yards and a touchdown on three catches for Utah
State (4-4, 3-1 MWC). Darell Garretson also played well as he completed 15-
of-23 pass attempts for 144 yards and a touchdown in his first career start.
Jaron Bentrude rushed 72 yards for a touchdown on his only carry while Robert
Marshall tallied 61 yards on 14 rushes. Travis Reynolds set game-highs with
four catches and 42 receiving yards.

fourth setback in five games. Kasey Carrier contributed 69 yards and a
touchdown on 14 carries and Jeric Magnant led the Lobos in receiving with 40
yards on two catches.
New Mexico got off to a poor start and never recovered. The Lobos fumbled the
ball deep in their own territory on the third play from scrimmage as Mitchem
lost control and the Aggies' Connor Williams made a heads up play with a
recovery. DeMartino put USU on the scoreboard as he rushed eight yards for a
touchdown on the next play.
Garretson made it 14-0 as he completed a 21-yard touchdown pass to DeMartino
at the 8:05 mark of the first quarter to conclude a 10-play, 68-yard drive.
Nick Diaz sent the Aggies into the second stanza with a 17-0 lead by chipping
in a 24-yard field goal try in the closing seconds of the opening period.
New Mexico finally ended the run as Justus Adams converted a 24-yard field
goal attempt with just under eight minutes left before halftime. The Aggies
quickly responded as DeMartino rushed 42 yards into Lobos territory to set up
himself for a 32-yard touchdown run on the following play.
The Lobos lost three yards on their next possession before Bruce Natson
returned a punt 65 yards for a score that extended the visitors' lead to 31-3
as the contest progressed into halftime.
DeMartino provided the only score of the third quarter with a 48-yard
touchdown run just over one minute after the opening kickoff of the second
Bentrude broke away for his long touchdown run with eight minutes left in
regulation. Carrier scored on a two-yard touchdown run with 6:21 showing on
the clock in the fourth quarter to finalize the score with New Mexico behind,

rushing yards while averaging eight yards per carry. New Mexico went 3-of-15
on third-down conversions. USU has now won 10 straight conference road games

how do u clean a wet suit
Dear Diver, Wet Suits - After your dive, the wet suit should be washed thoroughly. A bathtub or large trash barrel can be used for washing the suit. Use wetsuit cleaner/conditioner (preferred) or warm water with a mild detergent. Push the suit up and down in the tub for about five minutes with all zippers open. After washing, all soap must be rinsed out. If your suit has an odor that soap cannot remove, use liquid sink guard (preferred) or a half a cup of baking soda in warm water and stir in well. Push the suit up and down occasionally and after about a half hour of soaking, rinse thoroughly (DO NOT put your suit in a washing machine.) If you are going to dry your suit on hangers, it is extremely important that you use an extra wide hanger. If narrow or wood hangers are used, the suit will be damaged due to excessive creasing. After the suit has dried, the zipper should be lubricated with zipper wax.
