text: I have had poor play now in money games twice over the last two week, following days of detailed practice here at home on the table. I felt like God the way I had developed as far as stroke, long accurate stop shots, the 9B break was explosive, it all worked. Then I took the game to the PH for my regular episodes of $-pool and was a C-player all around, including those solid shots that I made 9 out of times during my drills. I am beginning to think that the only way to really get better at pool, is to play a lot of pool, not drill. In fact, I think taking time completely away from pool altogether ahead of competition is better, unless you can costantly PLAY and compete. Practice, to me, can be a slow down. sid

I proxied Zimbra using Apache, so now Zimbra is listening on port :81 and :444.
Apache listens on :80 and :443, and works fine in http mode. The problem comes in https, because when I enter user and pass, press the login button, the login cookie is set, but the connection is redirected to http, like if it was in mixed mode, but I double checked and it's in "both" web mode!
is there any setting I missed?

Nancy Delogu's advice to human resources professionals attempting to ascertain the effect on the workplace of new marijuana laws: "Don't panic."
Delogu is a shareholder in the Washington, D.C., office of law firm Littler Mendelson. She says employers probably won't have to change a thing. But just to be sure, HR should check with top management. Once the policy is clear, they should make sure all employees are familiar with it.
Jim Shore, a partner in the Seattle law firm of Stoel Rives, recommends making any necessary revisions to company drug policies so no gray areas exist between state and federal law.
"What I'm telling my clients is to remind employees that regardless of the new Washington state law, the company's drug-testing policy covers federal law, and marijuana is still a prohibited drug under the drug-testing policy," Shore says. "If it's in their system, they face discipline under the policy, or, if it's a zero-tolerance policy, termination."
Shore says to make sure there are no loopholes, referring to written policies that say "illegal" drugs, rather than specifying "illegal under local, state or federal law." He also says that prohibiting the condition of being "under the influence" allows too much wiggle room. It's best to state flatly that "any detectable amount" found in a drug test will not be tolerated.
In addition to clarifying drug policies stated in the employee handbook, Shore says job candidates should be informed, even before they fill out an application, of the company's drug policy. As an example, he cites warehouse retailer Costco Wholesale Corp., which prominently posts its written drug policy at each store's customer service counter. Online applicants must agree to possible testing "conducted in accordance with applicable federal and state law."

CHARLOTTE, Mich. (AP) -- Officials say more than 500 voters in the Lansing-area community of Charlotte were mailed absentee ballots for the Nov. 6 election with return envelopes addressed to a suburban Detroit clerk's office.
The Detroit News reports Charlotte officials learned of the mistake over the weekend following complaints posted on the city's Facebook page from someone who received one of the 505 envelopes. Officials say a supplier mistakenly printed an address for Oakland County's West Bloomfield Township.
The clerk's office in West Bloomfield Township says it hasn't received any absentee ballots from Charlotte, but is prepared to forward them along just in case.
In Charlotte, those who were sent absentee ballots with incorrect return envelopes will get a letter explaining the mistake. Other ballots got the correct return address.

London Underground Jubilee line 'letting down' Olympics transport plans
17:57 17 March 2012
London Underground's Jubilee line poses the biggest risk to transport plans for the Olympics being derailed, London Assembly has claimed.
The silver Tube line, running from Stanmore in north-west London to Stratford in the east, is a key route to the Olympic Park and other Games venues.
The line has been marred by heavily delayed upgrade works and regular disruptions, the London Assembly transport committee said.
Infrastructure failures increased by 12 per cent between March and December last year compared with the same period in 2010, while all the other London Underground lines recorded a drop in delays due to infrastructure failures over the same period.
Extra trains will be introduced on March 25 but the committee said it was concerned about whether this leaves enough time for testing.
The committee has now written to the London Mayor for details of how officials will ensure the line will be up to scratch in time for the Games.
There are also fears the Olympic Route Network (ORN) could confuse motorists and worsen traffic congestion.
Transport for London (TfL) is in the final stages of setting up the 109-mile (175km) ORN, which will include 30 miles (48km) of expressway Games lanes.
The ORN is set to open from July 25, two days before the start of the Games, from 6am to midnight.
It will be opened up to all traffic at times when demand from Games family vehicles is low and capacity available. A network of 150 variable message signs along the route will tell motorists when the Games lanes are open to regular traffic throughout the day.
Committee chairman Caroline Pidgeon said: "Given the scale of the challenges, some disruption to the transport network is inevitable.
"Keeping the capital moving smoothly during the Games will be nothing short of a Herculean task.
"The amount of work that is going in to getting our already overburdened transport network ready to carry millions of extra athletes, officials and spectators is very impressive.
"We are, however, keen to get some reassurance about the few areas - like the Jubilee line, local parking arrangements and the Olympic Route Network - that are still letting down what are otherwise very robust preparations."
Mark Evers, TfL's director of Games transport, said: "We welcome the Assembly's assurance that we have made good progress on preparing the transport network ahead of this summer.
"We know that hosting the London 2012 Games will be a huge logistical challenge, but we have a detailed plan and we are confident that we will get everyone to their Games events on time and keep London and the UK moving.
"On the Tube, delays have been cut by around 40 per cent since 2007/08, with the Tube now running more reliably and carrying more people than ever before.
"Enormous strides have been taken to improve the reliability of the Jubilee line following the completion of works to upgrade the line's signalling system.
"Delays - as measured by the number of passenger hours lost to disruption - have more than halved compared with the same period last year.
"Further targeted work is being undertaken on the line to continue to improve reliability."

By Ashley Yarchin
St. Louis (KSDK) - There has been a big development in an I-Team investigation into secret military testing in St. Louis.
There is now a lawsuit connected to the story.
In September, the I-Team got access to information from Dr. Lisa Martino-Taylor at Meramec College. She researched government experiments on humans in St. Louis in the 1950s and 1960s.
A known carcinogen, zinc cadmium sulfide, was sprayed in impoverished areas including the Pruitt-Igoe housing complex, as part of a biological weapons program.
When Martino-Taylor's research went public, many St. Louisans remembered the incidents: men in protective suits, on roofs, with machines spewing a thick fog.
One of them is Benjamin Phillips. He believes his numerous health issues may be connected to the secret tests.
On Wednesday NewsChannel 5's Ashley Yarchin spoke with Phillips, his attorney, and Martino-Taylor about the pending lawsuit.

Hi there,
I am a bit new to Zimbra but got a task from Management for tender purpose. What is really needed is when an email arrives on the Zimbra server, it must be delivered on a specific date (and time) on the receiver email account. The reason is for the concern of obtaining bids from suppliers. A closing date will be set for the bid and before that time, no one should be able to see the emails from the suppliers. We can put a specific subject name for this filtering.
I have look into the filtering method but it is not achievable. Can someone help?

I've looked at all the preferences and don't see where there is a setting to make that happen.

Photographer: Belle and Beau
Event Designer: Soirée de Luxe
Venue: Blake Dean in Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire
Want to hear more from Jessica? Keep reading to hear what inspired the engagement session and to hear how her plans for the big day are going.
1. What inspired the feel of your engagement session?
We are both originally from Yorkshire, but now live far away from a lot of our friends and family in London, so we wanted to take the engagement session back to our roots. After all, Yorkshire is the place we fell in love! We wanted the engagement shoot to be a celebration of our relationship from the past ten years. Blake Dean in Hebden Bridge was the perfect place to have fun with different "scenes", there was everything we could have wanted; rolling hills, a stream with a bridge and a good little spot for us to have our styled picnic and we just improvised from there and made sure we had lots of fun throughout. We wanted everything to be really natural, so when you see smiley pictures, you know they are genuine smiles. And not forgetting our weekend in Paris where we got engaged, we of course made sure there was enough room for some Parisian elements too!
2. What was your favorite thing from the shoot?
To be honest the whole day was absolutely wonderful. Aside from us being incredibly lucky with the weather, it was so nice and tranquil - there weren't too many tourists wandering around to get in the way of our pictures. My favourite part of the day was when Andrew and I were walking with Gizmo. Little Gizmo was so well behaved on the shoot, he pretty much did everything we could have wanted him to do. There was a moment when we were all sitting on the grass where I felt really emotional. It was towards the end of the day and I just thought to myself how nice it was that Gizmo was part of our engagement shoot. He's 13 now and I realize he's not going to be around for too much longer, but we will have these pictures forever and will always look back and think what a beautiful day we had with him.
3. Will/did a similar theme carry into your wedding?
Yes, not so much with the Parisian elements, but it's back in the stunning Yorkshire countryside and again will be one BIG celebration of our relationship. We want our guests to arrive and think "oh, that's so Jessica & Andrew!!" throughout the day. Ultimately, we just want our guests to have the most amazing time on our wedding day. It will be our way of thanking them for being such a big part of our lives. We both work in the creative industry and we are putting our ALL into our wedding and we've got lots of little features and surprises planned, but that's all I'm sharing for now, the rest you'll have to just wait and see...
4. When/was the big day?
We are getting married on Friday 22nd August 2014. It's a bank holiday weekend here, so will give our guests plenty of time to recover.

Admission is based on the high-school record and scores on either the ACT, SAT, or PSAT. Application should be made as early as possible in the spring term of the junior year. The program is conducted through the Honors College during the first session of summer school.
Early admission. Students who have exceptionally high grades (3.5 or higher grade point average) and at least a 28 ACT or a 1250 SAT (math and critical reading only) and who have strong endorsements from their high school principal, guidance counselor and parents or legal guardians may be considered for admission without completing the senior year of high school.
Concurrent enrollment. Students who meet the necessary requirements may attend The University of Alabama while still in high school. Students in area high schools may enroll as concurrent high school students/University freshmen. Typical students admitted to this program have a B+ grade point average, at least a 26 ACT or 1170 SAT (math and critical reading only) and the recommendation of their high school principal or guidance counselor and parents or legal guardians. Students take coursework in areas for which they have adequate preparation and the approval of their principal and/or counselor.
Dual Enrollment/Dual Credit Agreement. The University of Alabama participates in dual enrollment/dual credit programs with local boards of secondary education. Through these programs, certain high school students are allowed to enroll in college-level courses in order to earn credits that apply to both undergraduate degrees and high school diplomas. Students are eligible under the following conditions:
- The student must be in grade 11 or 12 or have an exception granted by UA based on the written recommendation of the students principal and the local superintendent of education and in accordance with Alabama administrative code regarding gifted and talented students.
- The student must have a B+ average, as defined by local board policy, in completed high school courses.
- The student must meet the entrance requirements established by UA.

Applicants must score at least 510 on the General Educational Development (GED) Test and submit acceptable ACT or SAT scores. Applicants 23 years of age and older are required to score at least 510 on the GED test. In addition, they may be required to submit ACT or SAT scores for advising purposes.
Undergraduate Transfer Admission
Applicants who have attended other colleges or universities are considered transfer students, regardless of the period of enrollment or amount of credit earned. Students who are currently in high school and have dual enrollment or concurrent college credit are not considered transfer students. Students seeking to transfer to The University of Alabama must meet the following requirements:
- Students must have one official transcript sent directly to the Office of the University Registrar from each college or university previously attended. Faxed transcripts are not considered official transcripts.
- Students who have attempted fewer than 24 semester hours (or 36 quarter hours) of collegiate work must also have official copies of their ACT or SAT scores and final high school transcript submitted directly to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.

Students must be able to return to the last collegiate institution they attended.
Transferring from two-year colleges in Alabama. Students transferring from two-year colleges in the Alabama College System may contract with The University of Alabama under STARS (Statewide Articulation Reporting System). The STARS program will guarantee the transfer and applicability of the two-year college credit under the following restrictions:
- This agreement will be honored for a period of three years from the date of the agreement. The student will be required to satisfy the requirements for graduation as described in the undergraduate catalog in effect at the time of execution of this agreement, provided, however, that UA may change such requirements if the student is given a reasonable opportunity to comply with the changed requirements. The student may choose to comply with the requirements in effect at the time of transfer.
- Under this agreement, the student must be officially admitted and enrolled at UA immediately following his or her tenure at the two year college at which the contract was initiated. Should the student enroll in another postsecondary institution during the interim, this agreement is void.
This agreement is subject to termination should changes in UA requirements be initiated by any agency outside University control. Such agencies include, but are not limited to, the State Department of Education, ACHE, SACS, NCATE, CLN, AACSB, ABET and other accreditation agencies.
Conversion of credits. The University of Alabama is on the semester system. Credits earned as quarter hours will be evaluated as semester hours. One quarter hour is equal to two-thirds of one semester hourfor example, a five-quarter-hours course equals three and one-third semester hours. However, when a student is seeking to transfer credit that will be applied toward degree requirements, final authority for evaluating that credit rests with the academic division, which may use a different formula.
Transfer student orientation and registration. Attendance at an orientation/registration session (Bama Bound) is required of each newly admitted transfer student. Considerable assistance is available at each session, and the groups are kept small to encourage individual attention. To learn more, visit orientation.ua.edu.
Distance Learning students are not required to attend orientation/registration. Distance Learning students should contact Academic Outreach, academicoutreach.ua.edu.
Transfers Within the University
Procedures governing transfers between academic divisions of the University are administered by the Office of the University Registrar. For further information, please refer to the section Academic Records and General Academic Policies.
Admissions of Special Category Students
Adult. Applicants who graduated from high school at least four years prior to the date of anticipated enrollment may be admitted to the University without the ACT or SAT, provided their high school grade point average is 2.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale. However, for placement purposes, the ACT or SAT may be required of all students who are enrolled.
Auditor. Applicants who wish to attend credit courses as auditors must follow standard admission procedures. They must be registered for the courses, must pay all required fees, are expected to attend all class meetings and must conform to all requirements of the instructor of the course. In certain cases, admission as an auditor may be granted without satisfaction of normal admission requirements; however, the University reserves the right to establish appropriate standards for such enrollment. Auditors may not receive credit applicable to the requirements for degrees.
Deans admission. The deans of the University may, upon appeal, waive or modify conditions of admission for individual freshman and transfer applicants.
Crimson EDGE (Education Guarantees Excellence). This two-semester program helps students manage the transition to a university academic environment. Students in this category are not on probation but are limited to 12-14 credit hours during their first semester and must enroll in an academic support class. A Crimson Edge advisor in each college will help students determine appropriate course selection for the fall and spring semesters.
Irregular postgraduate. Applicants with baccalaureate or advanced degrees may be admitted on the basis of the appropriate degree. Standard admission procedures are followed.
Special student. Special student enrollment is a nondegree status. Special students may apply for admission as degree-seeking students by requesting a change of status and by meeting regular admission requirements. Students who have never enrolled in college are generally expected to have been out of high school for two or more years before enrollment at the University as special students. Students who are currently on academic probation or under academic suspension imposed by another college and who have not been enrolled in school for two years may be admitted with special permission. Enrollment in specific courses will be on a space-available basis. If a course has prerequisites, permission must be granted by the instructor before enrollment in the course. To continue as a special student beyond one academic year of continuous enrollment, after a break in enrollment, or beyond 12 semester hours of earned credit, permission must be granted by the dean of the school or college in which the special student is enrolled.
Transient student. Admission as a transient (visiting) student may be granted for any term. Standard application procedures must be followed. Approval may be given on the basis of an official statement of good standing from the last institution attended. Transient status may be granted for only one term.
Admission of International Students
Undergraduate applicants who are not American citizens should address all inquiries to The University of Alabama, Undergraduate International Admissions, Box 870132, Tuscaloosa, AL 35487-0132; email@example.com. Applicants who need to learn English or improve their English proficiency should write for information to The University of Alabama, English Language Institute (ELI), Box 870250, Tuscaloosa, AL 35487-0250. Correspondence concerning undergraduate admission should be initiated at least six months in advance of the anticipated date of enrollment.
Complete, properly translated official credentials are required. Applicants with post-secondary study completed outside the United States are encouraged to submit those credentials for a course-by-course evaluation to World Education Services (WES), Bowling Green Station, P.O. Box 5087, New York, NY 10274-5087 or contact WES at wes.org. This evaluation along with a course syllabus may expedite the decision to grant transfer credit. Evaluations received from credential evaluation agencies other than WES are subject to approval by the academic division reviewing transfer credit.
The University of Alabama requires students to obtain a minimum English test score or satisfactory completion of the English Language Institute (ELI) before a student may begin an academic program. The minimum score requirements on the TOEFL are 500 on the paper-based test and 61 on the Internet-based test. A score of 6.0 on the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) or at least a score of 54 on the Pearsons Test (PTE) are also acceptable to meet the language proficiency requirement for admission if the academic reading and writing modules are selected. Conditional admission may be offered to students who meet the academic and financial qualifications, but do not meet the TOEFL, IELTS or PTE score requirement. These students will be required to register full-time in the ELI until they meet the TOEFL, IELTS or PTE requirement or satisfactorily complete the ELI program.
English placement for non-native speakers of English. In order to place non-native speakers of English in appropriate writing courses, each such student who does not have credit for EN 101 from a regionally accredited U.S. institution with C or better will be given a University of Alabama language proficiency exam (EPPE). Results from the EPPE determine whether students must enroll in either an English Language Institute (ELI) course, or in the Department of English course that suits their demonstrated abilities.
The English courses prescribed (ELI, EN 120, EN 121, or a combination of these) must be completed in sequence, beginning with the first semester of the students enrollment or when the course is offered at The University of Alabama, and the student must be continuously enrolled in these undergraduate courses until they are successfully completed. This policy applies to all non-native speakers entering The University of Alabama for the first time who do not have credit for EN 101 from a regionally accredited U.S. institution.
Students who have credit for EN 101 from a regionally accredited U.S. institution but do not also have credit for EN 102 are encouraged to register for EN 121 (rather than EN 102) at The University of Alabama.
Academic Second Opportunity
A student who has been separated from The University of Alabama for at least three academic years may petition the dean of his or her college to apply for readmission through Academic Second Opportunity. The petition must be received in the deans office prior to the last day of class for the semester in which the student returns to the University. If the petition is approved, the student will be readmitted regardless of previous scholastic performance, unless separation from the University resulted from academic misconduct. In cases of academic misconduct, readmission will be reviewed by the academic dean (or his or her designee) for the school or college in which readmission is sought.
If the application for Academic Second Opportunity is accepted, all previous academic work remains on the students permanent record, but the grades for previous work are not used in computing the grade point average. Grades of C or higher earned during previous college attendance are computed as passing hours (P) and may be applied to major program, distribution and graduation requirements. Grades of D earned during previous college attendance may not be applied to major program, distribution, or graduation requirements. The student pursues his or her academic program with no University of Alabama or Higher Education grade point average, and thereafter is subject to the conditions of warning, probation and dismissal that govern all students. Once invoked, Academic Second Opportunity cannot be revoked and it may be awarded only once and may not be awarded retroactively. Students who are awarded Academic Second Opportunity are excluded from candidacy for the Latin honors designations of cum laude, magna cum laude, and summa cum laude. These honors may also be referred to as university honors.
A student who has a degree from another institution but was previously a student at UA or who has a degree from UA is not eligible for consideration.
Readmission of Former Students
A former University of Alabama undergraduate student who has a break in enrollment, for more than two semesters, excluding summer, who wishes to return to the University must apply for readmission. An application for readmission is available online at apply.ua.edu and must be submitted with an application processing fee to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
Students who withdraw, co-op, or participate in the National Student Exchange program and who return in the immediate following semester are not required to apply for readmission. Students participating in an approved internship or in a Consortium Agreement through Student Financial Aid will not be charged the readmission fee due to a break in enrollment.
It is essential to the readmission process to include information about dates of prior attendance as well as the name and student number under which the student was registered at the University. A student who attended another institution following his or her last enrollment at The University of Alabama must submit an official transcript of work attempted at that other institution. The work attempted may be accepted at the University in accordance with the appropriate sections of this catalog. Students who were on scholastic probation at the end of their last enrollment at the University will be readmitted on scholastic probation. If the readmission application for a student who was academically suspended from the University is approved, that student will be readmitted on scholastic probation. International students who seek readmission must meet the above requirements and the requirements of the U.S. immigration law.

Bristol, TN (Sports Network) - Persistent rain at Bristol Motor Speedway
forced NASCAR to cancel Friday's qualifying session for the Irwin Tools Night
A severe thunderstorm moved over the 0.533-mile racetrack moments prior to the
start of qualifying, which was scheduled to start at 5:00 p.m. (ET). NASCAR
officials made the decision to call off the session at 6:25 p.m.
Casey Mears was surprisingly the fastest in the first practice held earlier in
the day. Therefore, Mears will start on the pole per NASCAR's rule book on
determining the starting field when qualifying is canceled.
Brad Keselowski, who has won the last two Sprint Cup Series races at Bristol,
will start alongside Mears on the front row. Greg Biffle will start third,
followed by Joey Logano and Aric Almirola.
Jeff Burton, Paul Menard, Denny Hamlin, Marcos Ambrose and Kyle Busch will
roll off sixth through 10th, respectively.
Jimmie Johnson will start 37th after struggling in practice. Danica Patrick
also had difficulties in practice, as she had the slowest speed among the 47
drivers on the track. Patrick earned the last starting position since her No.
10 Tommy Baldwin Racing team is currently 33rd in owner points.
Scott Speed, Kelly Bires, Reed Sorenson and J.J. Yeley did not qualify.
Saturday's 500-lap race at Bristol is scheduled to start just after 7:30 p.m.

Custom Peterbilt Rod - GizmonessWritten by David Freiburger on August 19, 2009 Contributors: Wes Allison We're Not Sure What Else To Call It. We Just Dig It.
The best thing about this car is that it evades description. We're labelers by nature and by vocation-Pro Street, Pro Touring, Gasser, all those-but nothing's more exciting than when someone builds a car that escapes all the cliches. Before we'd ever slapped an eyeball across this particular creation, a guy said to us, "Have you seen that Peterbilt rat rod thing?" Rat? It sure ain't that. It draws on that low-buck trend for its basic bobber-truck stance but takes it way above and beyond.
As well as this thing ducks categorization, it may also confound you on make and model: It's a '56 Peterbilt semitruck cab artfully reconfigured by James Crosby Designs in Ontario, California. James is a longtime fabricator whose dad actually crewed on the Summers Bros. Goldenrod. He had a scheme for a bare-metal hot rod truck for a long time, but when Jimmy Shine sort of stole that thunder with his well-known ride, James decided to go funkier. "I always liked aluminum better than steel," he tells us. "And then I realized that the old Petes are aluminum." He scored the cab, had a design drawn up by Christian Dotson (see www.dotsondesign.com), then went to work with the help of friends Ed, Sal, and Evan at Total Cost Involved; Rob MacGregor at No Limit Engineering (www.nolimit.net); and Danny Davis of Danny Davis Race Cars.
Years ago, James heard famed (and deceased) chopper builder Indian Larry refer to a particularly far-out bike as having a lot of gizmoness. That was a solid enough reason for this rod to carry that moniker, since it's loaded with surprise features that, combined with its overall look, make it one of the coolest rods we've seen in a while-no matter what you may call it.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The chassis was hand-fabricated starting with a pair of '32 Ford rails from TCI. Keeping with the aluminum theme is the drilled front axle from Super Bell. The grille shell was hand-fabricated and filled with a stainless steel insert from a brand-new Peterbilt truck.The engine is a GM Performance Parts ZZ4 topped with Crower fuel injection that, to our pleased approval, is still running mechanically rather than having been converted to EFI. It adds to the gizmo factor. The trans is a T56 six-speed stick.In person, the truck has a real presence due to its incredibly low ride height and the disproportionately sized rear wheels.The beehive-looking doohickey is actually a motorcycle oil filter by Westbury Hotrods, but James used it as a radiator overflow and as a visual balance to the injection pump on the other side of the engine. We love the detail in the drilled mount for it and the alternator.Ron Mangus Interiors (www.ronmangusinteriors.com) cranked out all this black leather in just three days before the car's debut at the SEMA show last year. The seatbacks are from Glide, but all the rest of the soft stuff was fabbed by Ron. The seats are dropped between the framerails for a very low ride. We really like the form and function of the full rollcage. Sticking up next to the shifter and Lokar brake handle is a cable to mechanically shut off the fuel.All the electrical controls are housed in this rear console, and an RCA plug (lower left) is used instead of a key to activate the power. The iPod-ready tunes are from Alpine and include eight speakers and 400 watts of thump.The rear suspension uses a TCI four-link modified to use a single top link. The Speedway Engineering quick-change rearend is suspended on air springs. Those brakes are 12-inch Wilwoods with four-piston calipers. The 14-gallon Moon tank actually carries the fuel.Check out the very cool steering column mount and the pockets for the Moon gauges. The Sprint Car steering box and the wheel came from Schroeder Racing Products (www.schroedersteering.com).
Here's the legit data plate from the original Peterbilt but modified to state 1,475 pounds, just under the legal limit to run fenderless in California. The rig actually weighs 2,105 pounds empty.

Probably more likely locker rooms, electrical, etc.
Floor is probably the least of their concerns.
This really sucks for volleyball, especially for the couple huge games they have this year.
Anyone know what the seating capacity for volleyball will or might be for the Ames High site?
Hopefully ESPN sticks with us and still airs the Nebraska match.

I agree - I wan't prepared to hear that the entire home schedule will be there. That's awful news.
That'll look great on ESPN when we play Nebbie

That'll be interesting....
Volleyball overlaps basketball by several weeks. Including NCAAs, it goes into December.
Silver Lining: That's gonna make a great story and video package when we make the Final Four this year.

What was average attendance for Big 12 games last year? If there are games that a lot more than 2000 would be expected could they maybe see if the Knapp Center or something else in DesMoines is available? or does moving a game to Des Moines make it less likely people go?
I really don't know if most non-revenue sports fans are coming directly from Ames or if they come from all around central Iowa.
2000 fans packing a small gym could actually create a pretty good advantage at times, just win ;-)
I would assume Wells Fargo Arena could be used if a national tv spot was on the line. Maybe not though.
They should move at least the Nebraska game to Des Moines to Wells Fargo or something like that.

With the 84th Map of the Week we continue in the borderlands town of Óðinn's House in the Kingdom of Slovania. This week we take a look at the Dwarven Highway diggings.
Key to the Dwarven Highway diggings (Highway Location No. 3)
As discussed last week, something has been going on here, something that has even the Northern Circle puzzled. In the ceiling of the highway extension, at about the point where one sees the No. 1 on the scenario plan, is the runic stave Eldrdauðiglötun, just as at locations 2, 7 and 9. It will unleash six balls of fire upon any intruders who pass without password protection. The stave reactivates 10 minutes after being triggered. However, at three points here, somethiung has burrowed into the highway. It is almost certain that it was immune to the fire trap of the runic stave or that it did not set it off at all. Nothing in the area has been charred from a fire blast, and there are no burnt corpses in the area. Furthermore, whatever burrowed into the highway went back whence it came and filled the tunnel it made with loose rock. Members of the Northern Circle dug out the rock fill to a depth of several feet/meters, but finally gave up after finding nothing. What lurks deeper inside the rock is uncertain.
1. Highway extension. The tunnel is roughly 20 feet/6 m wide and 10 feet/3 m high. This also is the point in the ceiling where the runic stave was cut.
2. Tailings. These were left behind by members of the Northern Circle after they attempted to dig the mysterious passages open again.
3. Cleared passages. These are the parts of the passages that were cleared by the Northern Circle.
4. Closed passages. These are the areas that were filled again by the mysterious burrowers. How deep they lead into the bedrock is unknown
You can get the scenario in two versions:
1. The Fractal Mapper (TM) 8 map in FMP format, fully editable, from our Jörðgarð web page (9.1 MB).
2. As a JPG flat map of 3000 Pixels x 1875 Pixels (1.7 MB), available above.

Southwestern Handmade Silver Jewelry
Southwestern Handmade Silver Jewelryis unique and unusual as this region has traditionally been known for a beautiful style "Southwestern" that is not generally made anywhere else in the world. Silversmithing began in the Southwest around 1865 when a Navajo Indian named Atsidi Sani learned the trade from the Spaniards who were in the Southwest seeking Silver and Gold. Native American Handmade Silver Jewelry was an immediate hit and became popular with the Native Americans and soon became admired throughout the world. Today, there are many fine artisans that create handmade Silver Jewelry in the Southwest, Durango Silver Company handles many and we also produce some of the best quality Silver Jewelry ourselves.
Take a look at what Wikipedia says about handmade silver jewelry.
Handmade Silver Jewelry

Well, it won't be as historic as last year's Supermoon event (Last year's World of Weather story), but being brighter, "stronger" and closer Saturday than any other night this year, it will still be worth a look. Visually, the moon will shine about 16% brighter Saturday night than any other evening. If you're lucky enough to get a clear view of the eastern horizon, be sure to catch a glimpse while the moon is still very low in the sky (~8pm). The optical illusion tends to make the moon swell to a noticeably larger size.
The weather outlook is calling for cloud cover and possibly some rain through the day on Saturday, but we may have a clear shot at the moon when it goes full at 11:35 pm. Additionally, early birds on Sunday should have a good glimpse of it as it sets Sunday morning around 4:50am.
Moon Data:
Rise: 6:35 pm
Sunset: 7:58 pm
Full: 11:35 pm
Set: 4:50 am
Sunrise: 6:13 am
Supermoon Tidal Influence:
The distance between the moon and our coast has an influence on the strength of our tides. While this encounter lacks the closeness of a year ago, we'll only have a mere 221,802 miles between us. Tides this weekend will still be impacted by the close proximity…
Oregon Inlet Bridge:
Saturday High- 7:59 pm @ 3.00 ft.
Sunday Low- 2:30 am @ -.10 ft.
Sunday High- 8:15 am @ 2.1 ft.
Atlantic Beach:
Saturday High- 7:19 pm @ 5.40 ft.
Sunday Low- 1:52 am @ -.80 ft.
Sunday High- 7:40 am @ 3.9 ft.
Last Thing
Be sure to have the camera ready when you head outside. I'll be sharing your photos on-air Sunday morning starting at 7:30am. Upload the pictures to Carolina Camera (www.witn.com) or to our WITN Facebook page. Enjoy!

Past issues of the Bulletin are available here, or through the ASIS&T Digital Library.
Bulletin, June/July 2013
Inside ASIS&T
Summer Balloting to Begin Soon for Board Member Election and Bylaws Amendment
Its just about time for the ASIS&T membership to exercise its right to help guide the direction of the organization through the election of directors and officers of the Board of Directors. Electronic ballots are being readied for distribution to eligible voters in the coming weeks. Members will be asked to elect a president-elect; two directors and a treasurer.
The following candidates will be on the ballot this year:
For President
Sandra Hirsch, professor and director, SLIS, San Jose State University
Prudence Dalrymple, research and training professor, Drexel University
For Directors-at-Large (top two vote getters will be elected)
June Abbas, associate professor, University of Oklahoma
Mei-Mei Wu, professor, National Taiwan Normal University, Taipei
Lauren Harrison, principal information scientist, Hoffman La Roche, Inc.
Isto Huvila, Abo Akademi University, Abo, Finland
For Treasurer
Vicki Gregory, professor, University of South Florida
Lisl Zach, assistant professor, Drexel University
Along with the election of new officers and directors of the ASIS&T Board of Directors, this summers ballot will include a bylaws amendment for the memberships vote. The proposed amendment is described here:
Bylaws Amendment
From Board meeting minutes:
Report from Constitution and Bylaws Committee calls for shortening the current voting window by half, to 30-35 days vs. 60-70 days. Discussion of optimum voting window takes place.
Motion: Dillon Second: Mai
Move that votes put to the membership must be returned
within 35 days from the date of sending.
Approved unanimously
Current bylaws say that any action requiring a membership vote will be sent by ballot to the membership with a specified date for return of ballots to be no less than 60 nor more than 70 days from the sending of the ballot. That stipulation was set in 1987 when all ballots were delivered to the membership and returned to the association by land mail. The ASIS&T Board of Directors believes that the 60-70 day window for voting for bylaws amendments and for the election of officers and directors is an anachronism and unnecessarily delays making and implementing changes when needed. Currently only 11 members participate in elections by land mail; they are all domestic members so land mail with a shortened time frame is still adequate.
Current wording, with proposed changes noted (strikeout = language to be removed; red and underlined = new language to be inserted):
Ballots. Whenever any action requires a ballot of the membership of the Society, the Executive Director shall prepare the ballots, including instructions for use, and shall notify the Members that they may vote by returning their marked ballots to the Executive Director and that, to be counted, ballots must be received by the Executive Director on or before a specified date. The date so specified shall be no less than 60 nor more than 70 days no less than 30 nor more than 35 days from the mailing of the ballot. The Executive Director shall supervise the tellers in the counting of all ballots, whether cast by mail/e-mail or at an Annual or Special Business Meeting.
[Other related sections will be changed to be in accord with the above language.]
Visit the ASIS&T website to learn more about the candidates and their platforms for the organization. And be sure to check your email for ballot instructions in the coming weeks.
ASIS&T Announces Management Partnership with DCMI
The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI), an internationally renowned organization advancing innovation in metadata design and best practices, will become a project of the Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T) upon DCMIs wrapping up activities at its current location in Singapore.
On June 30, 2013, DCMI Ltd. will cease operations as a company limited by guarantee in Singapore and became a project of ASIS&T. This change for DCMI from independent, non-profit company status in Singapore to a partnership with ASIS&T marks a significant milestone in DCMI's history. The decision was motivated by the desire of DCMI's governing Oversight Committee to shape a more flexible and progressive institutional structure, while retaining its mission, goals and objectives and its commitments to an open, consensus-driven community.
Andrew Dillon, president of ASIS&T, stated that the partnering of ASIS&T with DCMI makes excellent sense for both parties. "There is a considerable overlap in participation and subject matter interest in both groups, and information science as a practice and as a discipline will be strengthened by the partnership," said Dillon. "We look forward to regular cross-fertilization through meeting sessions, workshops, webinars and other forums," Dillon continued.
The change in DCMI institutional structure was guided by extensive investigations by DCMI's Oversight Committee into alternative structures and potential partnerships that might better serve DCMI's global community of metadata researchers and practitioners. Mutual and unanimous decisions were reached by the governing bodies of both DCMI and ASIS&T that DCMI become a project of ASIS&T effective July 1, 2013. Going forward, DCMI will maintain its autonomy as a global community through maintenance of the DCMI "brand," its governance structure and its programmatic commitments and membership programs while actively engaging with ASIS&T as a partner in mutually beneficial activities.
Thus, DCMI and ASIS&T are committed in the coming months and years to seek out joint activities where both organizations can leverage their strengths to the benefit of both communities. Both DCMI and ASIS&T bring to the new partnership their histories as strong, successful organizations serving research and practice communities.
76th Annual Meeting of the Association for Information Science and Technology
Beyond the Cloud: Rethinking Information Boundaries
November 1-6, 2013, Le Centre Sheraton Montreal Hotel, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Plans are well underway for the 76th Annual Meeting of the recently renamed Association for Information Science and Technology. Addressing the dramatic changes taking place in the information world with the advent of cloud computing and ever-greater storage capabilities, the meeting will focus on the continuing development of computing and mobile technology and the ongoing evolution of the web environment. Speakers will address the new ways for accessing, acquiring, retrieving and storing information which constantly defy traditional boundaries.
With the growth of digital content, information objects are blurred, and they challenge information organization. As more people interact and exchange knowledge and information on the web and in the cloud, information environments are transformed, and human information behaviors shift. As information use increases and becomes more complex, the need for meaningful integration and analysis grows. Maintaining its reputation as the main venue for disseminating research on advances in information science, information technology and related topics, this years Annual Meeting offers an opportunity to reflect on all the changes that impact human information interaction and their implications for information science and technology.
Jorge García, senior business intelligence (BI) research analyst for Technology Evaluation Centers in Montreal, will deliver the keynote speech at the meeting. With more than 20 years of experience in all phases of application development and database design, Jorge will talk about augmented reality (motion and voice recognition technologies) an area that has received a great deal of R&D attention and dollars in recent days.
While Jorge prepares for his presentation, the Annual Meeting program committee will continue its review of the hundreds of papers and panel session suggestions it has received from scholars, practitioners, researchers and students vying for spots in the six dozen or so sessions that will appear in the final program for the conference.
And a bit later this summer, following a July 1 submission deadline, the committees attention will switch to selecting participants for the interactive showcase, an evening devoted to face-to-face presentations using traditional papers, short videos or demonstrations. Please see the complete Call for Participation at the ASIS&T website for details on requirements for submitting in this category.
Conference Committee
France Bouthillier, McGill University, and Boryung Ju, Louisiana State University, are chairing this years ASIS&T Annual Meeting. Serving with them on the program committee are Pascal Calarco, University of Waterloo Library, interactive showcase; Lisa M. Given, Charles Sturt University, posters; and Jens-Erik Mai, Royal School of Library and Information Science, panels.
Also in Montreal
In addition to conducting its 76th Annual Meeting in Montreal, ASIS&T will concurrently host the 9th International Conference on Knowledge Management (ICKM 2013) at the same venue on November 1-2. ICKM will explore the themes of knowledge management metrics, performance measurement, capacity building and certification.
ICKM provides researchers and practitioners from all over the world a forum for discussion and exchange of ideas concerning theoretical and practical aspects of knowledge management. The conference provides a fantastic opportunity for researchers, practitioners, innovators, consultants and academics to exchange ideas and insights and to contribute to the advancement of knowledge management as a discipline and practice.
ASIS&T Summits Continue to Drive Fields
It was 13 years ago that Lou Rosenfeld, Peter Morville, Gary Marchionini and Victor Rosenberg got together to plan the first ASIS&T summit on information architecture. And from that first effort that possibly exceeded everyones expectations, the IA Summit was born. Earlier this year, April 3-7, the 14th IA Summit convened in Baltimore, Maryland, for the latest installment of the premiere, community-curated and volunteer-run gathering on the ever-evolving disciplines of information architecture and experience design. Once again, students, practitioners and anyone interested came together to collaborate and celebrate the great things happening in these communities of practice.
Emboldened by the success of the IA Summit series, in 2010 ASIS&T held its first Research Data Access and Preservation Summit, co-located with that years IA Summit in Phoenix. RDAP was designed to bring together leaders in data centers, laboratories and libraries in different organizational and disciplinary settings to share ideas and techniques for managing, preserving and sharing large-scale research data repositories with an eye toward achieving infrastructure-independent access and stewardship. That summit was also the start of something big, and earlier this year, again co-located with the IA Summit, the 4th Annual RDAP Summit featured expert panel presentations, an interactive poster session and lightning talks on the themes of institutional repositories, data citation and altmetrics, data infrastructure, linked data and metadata, and data use and reuse.
Check out some of the activity at each of the 2013 summits in Baltimore in the following

The New 1200 Lumen FLX Flashlight by Barska emits an intense bright white beam of light that can be seen for miles. This powerful light comes with rechargeable batteries and a dual battery charger. This 12 watt output light can last for hours on a single battery charge. The FLX 1200 Flashlight also features an SOS rescue light pattern, tactical accents, pressure sensitive on/off button and a beveled edge for added protection. Includes a charger and two 18650 rechargeable lithium ion batteries.
1200 Lumen LED Tactical Flashlight
Features a strobe mode and an SOS pattern mode
3 Levels of brightness
Includes two rechargeable batteries, charger, and hard case
Barska, a leading manufacture of sport optics and accessories, has introduced the newly designed 1200 lumen tactical LED flashlight. This newly designed flashlight features an extremely bright 1200 lumen LED light. It is powered by 2 rechargeable lithium ion batteries which are included with the Barska FLX package. The Barska 1200 FLX Flashlight also features multiple function modes such as an SOS rescue mode and a disorientating strobe mode. Barska has designed the 1200 lumen FLX flashlight to be shockproof and to be able to withstand extreme conditions over extended periods of time and use.
The powerful 1200 lumen FLX tactical flashlight (model BA11630) features not only a new high power LED technology, but also has advanced constant current technology. The 1200 lumen LED flashlight uses constant current technology to provide a stable output of continuous light. Normal flashlights that dont have the constant current technology will dim as the batteries drain, but the Barska FLX flashlight will not dim as the batteries lose power. The Barska tactical flashlight will be consistently bright from the first minute of use to the last minute.
Designed with utility and function in mind, the Barska 1200 FLX tactical flashlight has five operation modes, which can be quickly accessed and changed via the multifunction on / off button at the back of the light. Give one full push to turn the unit on or off, which will also reset the modes. When the light is on, lightly push the button to cycle thru modes. The built-in modes include SOS rescue pattern, strobe light, high power and low power. The low power modes can effectively double the life span of a set of charged batteries. The strobe mode is intended to used as a self-defense feature by momentarily blinding / disorientating an attacker.
Manufactured from solid yet lightweight T6 aluminum, this tactical LED flashlight is built to withstand rugged use and extreme elements. This shockproof design allows the flashlight to be mounted to rifles for night targeting using optional Barska mounting rings and mounting hardware. The tactical edge of the product allows use as a handheld self-defense tool. The FLX 1200 lumen tactical flashlight comes with a set of rechargeable batteries and a charger. This LED tactical light is backed by the Barska one-year flashlight warranty.

"Well" if you do have it connected backwards AND this HR24 is where you ran the test earlier, "then" this explains almost everything. The Splitter being backwards would add about 20 dB to your readings.
The powerline isn't the problem, as this would only affect your network/internet.
Make sure the input goes to the other splitter and then the extra loss of this splitter would only be between the BB DECA and the HR24, which isn't a big deal because they so close [short coax].
I ran the test from the H24 in the back bedroom (the long run). I did not run it from the HR24.

Assos suisseOlympiakos Socks $0.00
If you were paying attention to the London Games, you most likely noticed Switzerland falling within the top 10 in the road race, and their Silver in the men's cross country. Now, we're not so outrageous as to say that the Assos suisseOlympiakos Socks that they were wearing created these results, but the entirety of their Assos wardrobe was certainly a contributing factor.
These socks were specially designed for the Swiss Team in London, and they feature a blended composition of polyamide/nylon and elastane. Together, each fiber fulfills a different role, working harmoniously towards a single directive -- comfort. The nylon fibers guarantee effective moisture management, breathability, and comfort against the skin. Meanwhile, the elastane is featured for its stretch, and the polyamide for its durability. And when combined, the three provide the foot with the ideal interface for interaction with a shoe.
You'll also find that these socks have a cuff that rises well above the ankle, ranking themselves as appropriate for the neo-pro styling that's popular today. At the rear of cuff, you'll find the White Cross of Switzerland encompassed by the aspiration Gold ring. Meanwhile, the front of the sock features a Black stripe with the hallmark Assos symbol.
The Assos suisseOlympiakos Socks are available in the Suisse colors and in the sizes 0 (35-38), I (38-42), and II (43-46).

I found this to be quite delicious. Good way to get rid of the left over eggnog. I add the sugar into my own cup after, as people in my house hold like to sweeten there coffee differently. Have yet to try it with whipped topping, but will soon.

Ok...Antelope on public land isnt as easy as on tv..thats for sure!They will wind you!They see anything that doesnt look normal..they are gone!!Out of sight nowhere to be found!!Dont believe this bull that they will just stand there and look at you,or that they will just go a little ways and go back to normal..not on highly pressured land they wont!!Anyways..I spooked antelope from 2 different spots..One was a bedding area,and the other was a waterhole..What are the odds they will use these places again?Thanks!!
I've notice too that they know we're to run too. Like a deer always has an ecscape route. The Antelope we bumped would run about a mile or so then go rite back to feeding and even bed to rest. The problum was they would go were most wouldn't hike to to get another opertunity, and if a guy would they would see him comming and would take off again. I had my daughter with me so any kind of long stock was out of the question. I did also notice the Antelope we saw one day would be no where to be found the next day or for that matter a few hrs later. All I can say is stay with it. You will get a opertunity. I agree with you about it being tough to hunt them. I've only hunted then twice and once with a friend. Non of these three hunts were similar in any way.
Good luck!
There are water sources every half mile or so..there is no possible way to pinpoint which one they will use..HOWEVER...there are cattle near alot of these places..first thing I picked off was the lopes kept away from the cattle,and were using water sources away from them..secondly I found a fence crossing..I have seen them cross at this crossing 2 times..It is aggravating when you have 18" of grass to hide in..No cut outs or ditches..and I dont believe there is a camo pattern made that will blend!!Every camo pattern seems to be too dark or too light..There are not many antelope in this area,so potentially I walk ALL day for that one shot,and it seems that its gone in 15 seconds..I swear..the second time..everything was perfect..I used some hills to move in..got within 75yds..they were all behind a bluff(completely out of sight)..when one just pops up over the hill..runs up the bank and stares my way..then he sees me curled up in the fetal position on my knees at 75yds..locks onto me,and hauls butt with the others..!!Had to of smelled me?!?!?I guess I still looked like a blob but come on I wasnt moving a muscle,and only my back was exposed above the grass.
Only thing that may be messing me up..My fletchings are white and green!Could the small amount of white be sending a signal?I hear that white is a real attention getter for them..
Use their own safety against them. On my lope hunt this year there were wild horses everywhere. I used horses to close the distance (personal tame horses) if there are alot of cattle either build or buy a cattle decoy. Thats one thing i learned this year. "when in rome, do like the romans" pinpoint the weakness and exploit it. They may not care for cattle but they are definitely comfortable around them. As far as them seeing you. They will spot you everytime. Unless you have cover. Imagine taping a pair of 8x75 swarovski hd binos to your eyes. Thats what they see. If you do go the decoy route dont just blaze a trail straight toward them because you have cover. Become a cow. I know it sounds silly but get in the 7-800 yard range and hang out for 30 minutes. Close the distance a bit and hang out again. They have all day to save their own life youve got to be patient.

Nice post hardstalk.
"Become a cow." I love it.
Mooo I think to become a cow you will need to make cow sounds too. JK Hardstalk. Sounds like some great advise to me
I was watching one of the outdoor shows (don't remember exactly which one) and the hunter (archery) had on a tee shirt and a hat/helmet that looked like a buck antelope, horns and all. It was during the rut and the other bucks didn't hesitate getting closer for a look at the "intruder". Might work, who knows!
