The devastating shooting in Arizona took place just two hours away from the site of Monday Night's BCS National Championship game, which will play host to Auburn football and the University of Oregon football team. According to report from the New York Times, a moment of silence will be held to honor those impacted by the Tuscon shooting.
"Obviously, the horrible incident has been discussed by the people in charge of maintaining security for our game," Fiesta Bowl spokesman Andy Bagnato said. "We don't discuss the specifics of anything more we may be doing or any change in plan. Obviously, it's a terrible, terrible tragedy. Our hearts and prayers go out to everyone involved."

Only the Dictator, master of all forms of papaganda, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he died. A hundred years passed pokedream and and I discovered the new Dictator, a North Korean named Kim Jong-un. And although his obesity is great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to dictate anyone. But I believe Kim Jong-un can save the world.

The Arizona State women's soccer team opens the 2013 season at home this Friday at 7 p.m. when it hosts Cal State Northridge at Sun Devil Soccer Stadium in Tempe.
This season the Sun Devils return eight players who started 14 or more games last season. Included among the returners are three of the team's top four scorers from last season: forwards Cali Farquharson, Devin Marshall and Holland Crook. In the back line ASU will be led by senior defender Jasmine Roth, who has started 57 games over the last three seasons.
The Sun Devils, who concluded their 2013 spring season with a perfect 9-0 record, will be seeking their fourth NCAA Tournament berth in the last five years under seventh-year head coach Kevin Boyd.
Click here for ticket information for Friday night's game.
Fans who cannot be at Sun Devil Soccer Stadium for Friday night's season opener can watch via free live stream.
The Sun Devils are 12-4-1 all time in season openers, including a 5-1 record under head coach Kevin Boyd. ASU's only loss in a season opener under Boyd came to this week's opponent, Cal State Northridge, 1-0 last season.
Last year the Matadors won their first ever Big West Tournament Championship to advance to the NCAA Tournament. Returning from last year's team are senior Chloe McDaniel and sophomore Taylor Hobson, both of whom were named to the preseason All-Conference team. In all Cal State Northridge returns 18 players from last year's squad including five starters. The Matadors have been picked to finish fifth in the Big West this year.
This will be the fourth meeting between ASU and CSUN. ASU earned its first victory in program history over the Matadors in 1996. Northridge and ASU renewed their series in 2008 and have split the two games they have played since with the home team winning each game by a one goal margin. The most recent meeting was CSUN's win in last year's season opener, a contest in which ASU had more than twice as many shots (21-10 as the Matadors. ASU played that contest without Cali Farquharson, who would go on to lead the Sun Devils in goals last season.
When the 2013 soccer season commences on Friday, the Arizona State women's soccer team will be featuring the Pac-12's top returning duo in combined goals per game in the form of senior Devin Marshall and sophomore Cali Farquharson.
Last season, the play of Marshall and Farquharson proved to be a significant factor in helping the Sun Devils make their third NCAA Tournament appearance in four seasons. Together, Marshall (0.56 goals per game/second in the Pac-12) and Farquharson (0.50 goals per game/sixth in the Pac-12) combined to average more than a goal a game for the Sun Devils, whose 1.51 goals-per-game average was their highest average since the 2005 season when they averaged 1.66.
Arguably one of the most exciting players in the country to watch with her one-of-a-kind, go-after-it style, Marshall finished second on the team in both goals (nine – seventh in the Pac-12) and points (20 – t10th in the Pac-12) last season. However the most important statistic that illustrates Marshall's effectiveness is goals per game where she had the Pac-12's second-best mark (0.56) in 2012. Marshall, who was named second-team All-Pac-12 last season, did not play in five of ASU's games last season and missed the majority of two others – including ASU's NCAA Tournament game against Baylor – because of injury. Entering her senior season Marshall is 10th on ASU's all-time list in goals (16) and tied for 10th in career points (40).
Farquharson was one of the top newcomers in the Pac-12 last season as she finished first on the team and tied for fifth in the Pac-12 in goals with 10 on her way to being named to the Pac-12's All-Freshman Team. A Valley native (Shadow Mountain HS/Phoenix, Ariz), Farquharson also led the team and finished tied for fifth in the Pac-12 in points with 24. Her 10 goals tied for the seventh-highest single-season total by a Sun Devil while her 24 points were the 10th-highest single-season total in program history. Farquharson's three goals against USC tied both the school record and the highest single-game total by a Pac-12 player in 2012. Her eight points (three goals, two assists) against the Women of Troy set a new single-game school record and were the most by any Pac-12 player in 2012.
ASU has made the NCAA Tournament three times out of the last four years, a feat that has only been accomplished one other time in program history. The Sun Devils, who were picked to finish fifth in the Pac-12 by the league's coaches, will be looking to carry over the momentum they established at the end of last season (went 4-0-1 in last five regular season games to earn NCAA Tournament bid) and during the 2013 spring season (won all nine games).
As has been the case in recent years, the Sun Devils will play one of the toughest schedules in the country in 2013. ASU will face five teams that are ranked in the NSCAA Preseason Top 25 (three of those five squads reside in the Pac-12 Conference).
Aug. 30 – at Texas A&M (#12 preseason)
Sept. 13 – vs. Texas Tech (#24 preseason)
Oct. 4 - at California (#20 preseason)
Oct. 6 - at Stanford (#2 preseason)
Oct. 18 - at UCLA (#5 preseason)
In addition to those five contests ASU will also face three more teams that received votes in the preseason poll (Illinois, USC and Stephen F. Austin). Five out of the first six games this season are against teams that made it to the NCAA Tournament last year. The Sun Devils will face an additional five teams that made the NCAA Tournament last year once they begin Pac-12 play.
When the Arizona State soccer team takes the field for the 2013 campaign it will be aiming for its fourth NCAA appearance in five seasons, something that would be a first for the program.
The soccer program's recent run of success has come under the tutelage of Kevin Boyd, who will be entering his seventh season as ASU's soccer coach. Boyd came to ASU after leading Cal to eight NCAA Tournament appearances in 10 years. His last recruiting class at Cal included a name soccer fans from all walks of life are familiar with – Alex Morgan.
At ASU, Boyd has already planted the seeds to establish a winning tradition. In his previous six seasons at ASU, Boyd has led the Sun Devils to as many NCAA appearances (3) as the program had in the 11 seasons prior to his arrival.
Last season Boyd led a relatively young Sun Devil squad to a tie for fourth place in the Pac-12, ASU's highest finish in league play since the 2004 season.
Currently with 54 wins as ASU's head coach, Boyd enters the 2013 season needing seven wins to become Sun Devil Soccer's all-time leader in career wins.

These are a candy entirely new to the market this year: Peeps Peepsters. I first say this bag and was confused at first. I had no idea what these things were. So I ended up buying a bag and taking them home to start a tasting session. I do have to commend the designers of the packaging for this candy. They did a marvelous job of keeping the look of the Marshmallow Peeps packaging and style into a bag candy. It feels Eastery and fun.
So, these Peepsters are individually wrapped in colorful foil wrappers in the bag. They're a little larger than a Rolo. The base is about the size of a quarter and there chocolate has a peep stamped on the top. Again, the candy is very eye-catching.
They smell very sweet and marshmallowy for a lack of a better word. It's a sweet smell with hints of vanilla and cotton candy.
So as you can see in the photo, these Peepsters have a interior of marshmallow. The chocolate walls are thick, and the marshmallow interior is rather small. The flavor of it, however, permeates throughout the candy. It has this wonderful, creamy vanilla flavor that blends beautifully with the smooth and sweet chocolate. So this candy has a very sweet flavor, so it's not for everyone. But it does do a great job of blending chocolate, marshmallow together. It's funny because you don't really get marshmallow texture at all, just flavor. And it's wonderful mix of chocolate/vanilla for the taste.
I'm a fan of these, and when I shared them with my boyfriend, so was he. So much so in fact that he's finished off the first bag pictured here, and went out and bought another bag of the milk and one of the dark (yes, these come in dark chocolate too, and they're also really good). I liked to have a few of these with a cup of coffee since they're so sweet. So in short, big fan of these. Bravo Just Born.

The World Health Organization declared the swine flu pandemic officially over Tuesday, months after many national authorities started canceling vaccine orders and shutting down hot lines as the disease ebbed from the headlines.
--Fox News.com, Aug. 10 2010
Anoka-Ramsey will follow our Pandemic Plan and directives from the State of Minnesota, Department of Health, MnSCU and local health authorities.
To prepare for and mitigate fear/confusion regarding cases of H1N1 flu, please contact the Director of Public Safety, Orrin Nyhus (x1346) once you become aware of a confirmed H1N1 case at Anoka-Ramsey Community College. We have a process in place to assist you with this matter.
Several precautionary measures have been implemented at our campuses, such as elevating awareness, performing additional cleaning of restrooms, water fountains and eating areas, more frequent cleaning of computer keyboards with alcohol preps in labs and providing hand sanitizers.
Practicing good hygiene and following the common sense practices used to avoid the seasonal flu. Wash your hands thoroughly (sing Happy Birthday twice while washing your hands!), cough into your arm, stay home if sick, stay away from contained spaces, eat properly and get sufficient rest. If you suspect that you may be suffering from the flu, please seek advice. Any person with a confirmed case is expected to remain home for seven days after the onset of the illness.

Influenza A virus subtype H3N2 (also H3N2) is a subtype of viruses that cause influenza (flu). H3N2 Viruses can infect birds and mammals. In birds, humans, and pigs, the virus has mutated into many strains. H3N2 is increasingly abundant in seasonal influenza, which kills an estimated 36,000 people in the United States each year.
pandemic: The worldwide outbreak of a disease in numbers clearly in excess of normal.
pandemic flu: A virulent human flu that causes a global outbreak, or pandemic, of serious illness. Because there is little natural immunity, the disease can spread easily from person to person. Currently, there is no pandemic flu.
seasonal (or common) flu : A respiratory illness that can be transmitted person to person. Most people have some immunity, and a vaccine is available.
zoo noses: Diseases that are transferable from animals to humans.

Uplink FIFO, Microelectronic Hybrid, Milstar Communications Satellite
This artifact is a signal processing device designed for use in the first generation of Milstar military communications satellites.
To meet weight and space constraints on the spacecraft, the design achieved complex function in a small size by the use of layering. Beneath the visible surface of electrical devices and connections are four additional conducting layers (and eight non-conducting layers). The buried conducting layers provide additional pathways for connecting the electrical devices on the hybrid's top layer. The completed hybrid is an ingenious puzzle in which more than three hundred chips and devices are integrated through several thousand connections. The gold-colored wire pins on the sides of the case connect the hybrid to a circuit board or electronic device.
This design represented the state of the art in miniaturization for such hybrids as of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Lockheed Martin donated this artifact to the Museum in 1998.

Anyone shot one of these? I'm considering one since I got the wife a revolver for worry-free home defense use. And I *HATE* having only one firearm for any particular caliber. ;) So we are going to stock up on .357 and .38 ammo. Yee-haw, another round to reload LOL
I got her a Ruger LCR. I have always been a big fan of the SP101, its all-steel big brother. Last gun show, we walked every table with revolvers, and all the pink ones, and this is the one she picked, hands-down, over all the other HD style revolvers. "Even though its not pink I want this one".... coming from her, that's saying something about ergonomics! :cool:
ANYWAY... Has anyone shot one of these before? Interested to hear feedback.
I'm not a slave to the ergonomics or "small pistol" mindset, and we have always been a Ruger family. Well, Dad's big caliber is the .41 mag. We have TONS of .357 mag brass and ammo, but frankly it gets passed over most of the time when we go shooting. I'm looking at all the standard frame .357 offerings, and frankly not impressed. The 8-shot SW model peaks my interest, as well as the Chiappa Rhino. After doing some research, the design seems sound. I understand the "why" of its design and think it may be something even the wife can handle since everyone who writes about it indicates a .357 load "feels" like a .38 load in this gun.
Cost is the only thing that makes me pause on this. I can get an SP101 for almost half the price of one of these. But then again, if I ever need to use it I won't care how much it cost me out the door... right?
A fairly unbiased review here:
Some other reviews I've read are a bit more, well, less journalistic might be the best way to describe them. More like water cooler chitchat :)
Note the barrel is at the BOTTOM of the cylinder, causing less recoil since the force is in-line with your bones:

This type of surgery may be necessary if you have invasive bladder cancer. That means you may have this type of surgery if your cancer has spread beyond the inner lining of the bladder. For this surgery, the surgeon takes out part, or all, of your bladder. If your whole bladder is removed, it's called a radical cystectomy. If only some of the bladder is removed, it's called a partial cystectomy. Nearby lymph nodes and other organs may be removed as well.
If the cancer has spread to deeper layers of your bladder or to areas just around the bladder, the surgeon may take out your whole bladder. The surgeon may also take out some of your lymph nodes.
If you're a man and the cancer has spread, the surgeon will likely also take out your prostate gland. Cancer that spreads sometimes goes to these areas. Without a prostate gland, you do not make semen. While you can still have an orgasm, no semen comes out. This is called a dry ejaculation. Your ability to have an erection may also be affected if there is any damage to the nerves that control this.
If you're a woman and the cancer has spread, the surgeon will also take out your uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and a small part of the vagina. Cancer that spreads sometimes goes to these areas. Removing the organs helps ensure that none of the cancer is left behind.
If your whole bladder is removed, you will also need reconstructive surgery to create a new way for urine to be stored and leave your body.
If your cancer hasn't spread and is only in one small part of the bladder, your doctor may be able to remove only the part of the bladder with cancer. This type of surgery is called a partial cystectomy. This surgery is as effective for some people as removing the whole bladder. It's also less likely to lead to serious surgical complications. Men who have only part of the bladder removed may keep their prostate and may maintain their ability to make semen and have erections. And women may be able to keep their reproductive organs. Removing only part of the bladder may also mean that you won't need reconstructive surgery because part of the bladder will still be intact.

Offenders from the Department of Correction's Sussex Boot Camp will spend the next week helping improve the West Side New Beginnings Community Center as part of a community project led by State Police Troop 7.
Cadets will work from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 23-27 at the West Side New Beginnings Community Center, 19801 Norwood St., Rehoboth Beach. Work crews will trim trees and brush, wash windows, paint the exterior of the community center, install some fencing, perform basic landscaping work and working on other small jobs.
The Sussex Boot Camp is an alternative to traditional prison. Cadets got through a six-month program that is divided into three phases. The first phase focuses on military-style discipline and life skills, the second on drug treatments and community service work, and the third on job-seeking and re-integration skills.

Windows Photo Gallery is designed to automatically display the pictures and videos stored in the Pictures folder on your computer. You can modify the contents of Photo Gallery at any time by adding and removing folders, which is convenient if you store some of your pictures and videos in a location other than the Pictures folder on your computer. You can also add individual pictures and videos to Photo Gallery without adding the entire folder.
When you add a folder to Photo Gallery, all of the pictures and videos in the folder will be displayed there. Keep in mind that you can only add one folder to Photo Gallery at a time, so you will need to repeat these steps for each folder you want to add.
Open Windows Photo Gallery by clicking the Start button , clicking All Programs, and then clicking Windows Photo Gallery.
Click the File menu, and then click Add Folder to Gallery.
Click the folder that contains the pictures and videos you want to add, and then click OK.
You should avoid adding certain folders to Photo Gallery. The Local Disk folder, for example, is called the root folder because it represents your entire hard disk. Adding this folder to Photo Gallery will make it run very slowly. You should avoid adding the Windows folder and other system locations to Photo Gallery for similar reasons.
You can add individual pictures and videos to Photo Gallery without automatically including all of the other files stored in the same folder.
Open the folder that contains the picture or video you want to add to Photo Gallery.
Drag the picture or video from the folder to the Photo Gallery window.
The picture or video is copied to your Pictures folder and automatically added to Photo Gallery.
Only pictures and videos can be added to Photo Gallery. If you try to add a different kind of file, it will be copied to the Pictures folder, but will not appear in Photo Gallery.
There are many types of pictures, and not all will appear in Photo Gallery. Pictures with the .gif file name extension, for example, will not appear in Photo Gallery.
When you remove a folder from Photo Gallery, you do not delete it from your computer. If you remove a folder, Photo Gallery will no longer display the pictures and videos that were in that folder, though the folder will remain on your computer.
You can remove folders that you have added to Photo Gallery at any time, but you can't remove the folders that are in Photo Gallery by default. Removing a folder prevents it from being displayed in Photo Gallery. While you can remove folders from Photo Gallery, you can't remove individual pictures or videos. You can, however, delete pictures from Photo Gallery at any time. If you delete a picture it is deleted from your computer as if you deleted it from the Pictures folder.
In addition, you can't remove a subfolder without removing its top-level folder as well. In the following example, you can remove the folder called Family, which will also remove all of its subfolders. However, you can't remove only the folder called Children or Grandparents.
In the Navigation pane, right-click the folder you want to remove, and then click Remove from Gallery.
Photo Gallery is another way to view and organize your pictures and videos. It displays pictures and videos that you've stored in Pictures and in other folders on your computer. It is not a replacement for folders on your computer. As a result, you should not delete the pictures in Photo Gallery or the Pictures folder unless you actually intend to delete the pictures from your computer. If you do, they will deleted from your computer and no longer appear in either the Pictures folder or in Photo Gallery.

Keep On Rollin' (And A R.I.P.)
The Twins finished up the Interleague Portion of their season today, beating the Cardinals 6-2 behind a strong start from Francisco Liriano and some big hits from Justin Morneau and Jason Kubel.
Looking back, the Twins (once again) really enjoyed this month of NL play, as (just recently) we were one Nick Blackburn gaffe and two Albert Pujols swings away from sweeping both the Brewers and Cardinals ON THE ROAD. The Twins haven't played that well in an opposing ballpark since guys like Mientkiewicz, Rivas, and Guzman were still lurking around!
Now, though, the test will be whether or not the Twins can parlay this Interleague success back over to the AL. Luckily, the road doesn't get much easier than in Kansas City, our opponent tomorrow night.
Preview (39-38, 2nd, 4.0 GB DET): Nick Blackburn (6-3, 3.11) vs. Luke Hochevar (2-3, 5.87). The Royals have nothing without Zack Grienke, and we don't draw him…sweet.
By the way, this guy died today…
Unbelievable. Celebs (Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, Mays) are dying at an incredible rate these days.
Unfortunately, this just means that this guy…
…is now the "king" of infomercials. Sad.

Did Your City Make the List?
If you have asthma, where you live can make a difference. Air pollution, secondhand smoke, and pollen are common triggers of asthma attacks. While there are no asthma-free cities, some are harder places to live with and control asthma. Each year, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America ranks the most challenging among the 100 largest U.S. cities. Here are its Top 10 "Asthma Capitals" for 2013.
No. 10: Knoxville, Tenn.
Like other cities across the South and Southwest, Knoxville has been one of the toughest for people with asthma year after year. But it has improved from its No. 3 spot in 2012. The city does have a good number of asthma doctors, but use of asthma medicines is low. It doesn't help that there's poor air quality and the state still allows smoking in restaurants and bars.
No. 9: Atlanta, Ga.
Poor air quality and lagging smoke-free laws are part of Atlanta's asthma problem. Atlanta also has fewer asthma doctors and more people without health insurance than the average American city. Both make it a challenge to get proper care. Statewide, more than half of Georgia's children and three-fourths of its adults with asthma have never received a treatment "action plan" from their doctor.
No. 8: McAllen, Texas
In this border town just a few miles from the Rio Grande, a big problem is access to treatment. Compared with other cities, McAllen has more people without insurance who need "rescue" medicines for asthma that isn't well controlled. That's partly because McAllen is one of the lowest-income cities in the country. High poverty is linked to higher rates of asthma.
No. 7: Dayton, Ohio
In Ohio, about 1 in 5 low income children has asthma, and emergency room visits for asthma are high. The state's asthma control program trains coaches and P.E. teachers about exercise-induced asthma. It also helped pass the state's smoke-free workplace act. Since then, hospital visits for asthma have gone down in children under age 5 -- the most likely group to have asthma attacks.
No. 6: Detroit, Mich.
In the U.S., about 9% of children have asthma. In Detroit, twice that many do, and 7% to 10% more most likely have asthma and don't know it. The city also has high levels of adult asthma. Poverty plays a big part in Detroit's asthma problem. About 70% of public school children are low income. The American Lung Association and the Detroit Alliance Against Asthma are working with public schools to boost knowledge of asthma and how to manage it.
No. 5: Oklahoma City, Okla.
Oklahoma's capital is climbing the list of worst asthma cities. Asthma affects 1 in 13 children in Oklahoma and is the main health reason for missing school. About one-third of the state's children with asthma live in households where someone smokes, and one-third of adults with asthma are also smokers. The Oklahoma Asthma Initiative is teaching 3rd- to 6th-graders, child care workers, parents, and teachers about smoke and other triggers.
No. 4: Philadelphia, Pa.
Among the top 5 worst asthma cities, Philadelphia ranks highest in pollution, a trigger for asthma attacks. People don't use asthma medicines well, so emergency room visits are high. Philadelphia Allies Against Asthma works in largely African-American neighborhoods where 14,000 children have asthma -- and many don't have a primary care doctor. African-Americans are three times more likely than whites to be hospitalized and die of asthma in the U.S.
No. 3: Memphis, Tenn.
This Mississippi River town has many people with asthma singing the blues. Memphis topped the chart last year and hit No. 3 this year -- partly because of weak smoking laws, poor air quality, low use of asthma control medicines, and a high rate of asthma deaths. Nationally, asthma causes more than 3,300 deaths each year. Many of these are avoidable with proper care and treatment.
No. 2: Chattanooga, Tenn.
A beautiful riverfront park and nearby mountains draw tourists to Chattanooga. But if you have asthma, you might want to bring along your medicine. Poor air quality, pollen, and too few asthma doctors help make it one of the worst asthma cities. With Memphis and Knoxville also on the top 10 list, banning smoking in bars and restaurants throughout Tennessee could help.
No. 1: Richmond, Va.
The capital of Virginia is also the asthma capital of the nation, climbing back up from No. 23 last year. The city has high levels of year-round pollen and poverty, and too many people don't have health insurance. But a smoking ban and more asthma doctors could help bring down emergency room visits. Until the city takes more action, it's the hardest place to live for people trying to get control of their asthma.
Brighter Spots for Asthma
Of the 100 cities ranked, these 10 are the best. For the most part, they have cleaner air and better-than-average smoking bans, school-inhaler access laws, and use of asthma medicines.
10. Raleigh, N.C.

How to save for that down payment
By Holden
Lewis Bankrate.com
is a frustrating time for renters who want to buy homes but who haven't saved
much for down payments. Houses aren't getting cheaper and low mortgage rates
can't stay around forever. It seems like time is running out.
"It would take me at least another year or two to
save another $10,000 to $15,000, and, frankly, I want to purchase a house before
the costs are out of reach," e-mails a reader from Long Island, where the
median house price rose more than 20 percent last year.
He has more options than he realizes. There are myriad ways to
leap the down-payment hurdle. Some strategies are for people who have some money
saved up somewhere, and other strategies are for people who are practically
It has been a long time since home buyers were required to come
up with 20 percent down. Some lenders will lend 100 percent of the purchase
price or even 103 percent. More commonly, lenders underwrite mortgages with
3 percent or 5 percent down. The question becomes: How do you come up with that
3 to 5 percent?
- advertisement -
Dig into the nest egg?
You could tap your retirement savings, either borrowing from a 401(k)
account or withdrawing money early from an Individual Retirement Account.
When you borrow from your 401(k), you repay the
loan over five or more years, with interest. Most 401(k) plans
will let you borrow up to $50,000 or 50 percent of your balance, whichever is
One problem with borrowing against your 401(k) is
that you will have to repay the loan within 90 days of losing your job or quitting.
That can make a layoff even more stressful, and can serve as a pair of golden
handcuffs that chain you to your job, even if a better one comes along. If you
can't repay the loan in time, you have to pay penalties and taxes on an early
An advantage of borrowing against a 401(k) is that
it doesn't count as debt when lenders assess your qualifications for a loan,
says Ellen Bitton, president of Park Avenue Mortgage in New York City.
Withdrawing money from an IRA can be a good strategy for first-time
home buyers. You pay taxes on the disbursement, but a 10-percent early-withdrawal
penalty is waived if you use the money to buy your first home. Some advisers
warn against removing money from a retirement nest egg.
"But," says Bitton, "in the long run, you'll probably
have more appreciation on the money invested in real estate." She pauses,
then adds with a laugh, "And maybe not. There are no hard-and-fast rules."
Borrowing against retirement savings is fine for people who have
money set aside for their golden years. But what about people who have virtually
no money in the bank?
Gifts from family and friends
Some loan programs allow borrowers to use gift money to make down payments.
Generally, the gifts have to come from family members, spouses or domestic partners,
or nonprofits.
In fact, an entire industry of nonprofit organizations has sprung
up to fill this need. Most of the time, the home's seller "donates"
3 percent of the home's sale price to the nonprofit, plus a fee. The nonprofit
then gives the buyer that 3 percent at closing, with the money serving as the
down payment. Almost all loans using this approach are insured by the Federal
Housing Administration.
Jason and Rebecca Postlethwait are using such a program to buy
a house in Baltimore. When their landlord notified them that the monthly rent
on their townhouse was going from $900 a month to $1,100, they decided to go
house-hunting, even though they had some past credit problems as a result of
lost jobs, and even though they had little saved for a down payment.
"We said, 'There's got to be a program for us,'"
Jason Postlethwait says.
Their real estate agent told them about the Home Solution program,
in which the seller ultimately contributes 3 percent for the down payment. Their
monthly house payment will be less than the $1,100 they would have spent to
continue renting the townhouse.
Help for those who need it
Another down-payment option is to take advantage of programs run by nonprofits
to help low- to moderate-income people buy their own homes. These programs are
of all sizes and kinds. Some are run by community development corporations that
fix up abandoned houses in blighted neighborhoods, then team up with lenders
that offer low- or no-money-down loans to qualified buyers. Habitat
for Humanity requires buyers to contribute "sweat equity" by working
on their and other people's homes.
Most states have housing
finance agencies that offer special loan programs for low- to moderate-income
buyers. Fannie Mae, the biggest buyer of mortgages, offers loans through housing
finance agencies that require down payments of as little as 1 percent or $500,
whichever is less.
No-down and low-down
No- and low-down payment loans have the disadvantage of requiring costly
mortgage insurance. You can avoid mortgage insurance by getting a "piggyback
loan": a home equity loan that piggybacks on top of a primary mortgage.
For example, you could put 5 percent down, get a primary mortgage
for 80 percent of the home's price, and a higher-interest home equity loan for
15 percent of the price.
The payments on the second mortgage roughly equal what would
have been the cost of mortgage insurance, but home buyers can deduct the interest
expense on their income taxes.
Piggyback loans have zoomed in popularity in the past few years
and are "kind of normal nowadays," says Bitton of Park Avenue Mortgage.
Can you say 'susu'?
For something exotic, she throws out another option -- susu, a method of
saving money that can be found in some African and Caribbean cultures.
A susu savings plan consists of a group of people who pool their
money and distribute it among themselves periodically, one by one. For example,
a dozen people might contribute $1,000 each into the pool every month for a
year. In the first month, one person gets $12,000. The next month, the next
person gets $12,000, and so on. At the end of the year, each person has contributed
$12,000 and received $12,000.
"In a way, it's forced savings," Bitton says, because
the susu system uses peer pressure to compel people to save.

Light cover for chilly conditions
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
- Size Bought: small
These shoe covers fit easily over size 39 shoes. In fact, they are a bit large. But, for the price (under $10) and as my first overshoe, I'm not complaining. For cold and rainy conditions, these would be insufficient. I've used them a few times and they have nicely kept road muck off my shoes. Recommend for these purposes.
Solid performance
I have problems with blood circulation in my feet, so the minute my feet cold they will stay cold (or even go numb) for most of the ride. These solved that problem perfectly without causing excessive heat to build up inside the cover. Make sure you follow the sizing chart when buying these. I wear an EU43 which falls into their 'Large' category. I didn't think my feet would be labeled as 'Large' and thought the chart might be wrong so I ended up sizing down to a 'Medium' which was a big mistake. I ended up having to send back my pair in exchange for a 'Large'. They also have the possibility of causing irritation on the back of your heel where the zipper is. I've had the problem a couple times but usually I can find a spot where the zipper won't bother me.
Too fragile to actually use
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've used mine three time and worn through the sole already. I get they're not made for walking around in for long, but I'm not taking them off every time I put my foot down. Also they're sized small. I have size 11 fett and got L should have got XL as the zipper keep open at my calf. Some sort of retainer here would help as the shoe part seems to be the correct size. Wouldn't get another pair.
nice but thin and flimsy
torn now after just a moderate amount of use. Very cool and stylish looking but wish they lasted.
Agreed.... ripped in first season. Wouldn't buy these again.

Submitted by Kris Thompson on

by Sheri Boltz, Tough Girl Cycling
We've all experienced fear at one point in time or another; whether it be fear after a crash or fear riding obstacles such as drop offs, narrow trails along a ridge, down a steep descent, across loose gravel, or through rocky sections. Fear can come and go at any level, it is not just for beginners....and it can happen to both men and women.
Last August, I fractured one of the vertebrae in my neck riding an obstacle I had ridden many times. Several months later, I got back on the bike and when I did, there were a lot of scary obstacles out there. Because of being tentative and hesitant, I struggled with obstacles and trails that I routinely rode, and worked my way into a continuous pattern of crashing. Finally after a few weeks of crashing and being on the verge of changing sports, I realized I needed to acknowledge this new found fear because it wasn't going anywhere until I faced it head on. I went back to the basics by returning to the simplest of trails. After several successful rides (with no crashing), I started to work my way back into my usual network of trails. While this seemed like a huge setback to me at the time, I was able to quickly return to where I left off, get back into the racing scene, and have FUN.
What can you do to overcome your fears and move forward? When I am feeling the fear, I acknowledge it and then develop a game plan for conquering it. Fear should not be perceived as a negative, or something to beat yourself up about. It should be used as a building block in your quest to be a zen master of mountain biking. As for game plans, I like to keep mine simple. I will typically start off by asking myself a few questions like, do I need to find something smaller and less scary to work my way up or can I watch someone ride it or follow someone off/thru the obstacle?
The key when riding challenging obstacles is to have faith in yourself and your bike. When you are ready to conquer the obstacle, make sure you stay committed. Focus on where you want to go and look thru the obstacle. Smile.....a relaxed body and mind are bliss.
Body armor and droppable seatposts can also be helpful. Simply having body armor on your elbows and knees will protect your skin. Droppable seatposts can be set at a height for normal XC riding, and then at the flick of a button, the seat will drop down and out of your way. Both of these items will help you get into a better position and build your confidence.
So, get out there and have fun. I have been riding and racing for about 10 years, and I still have that occasional crash that freaks me out for a while or run across an obstacle that grabs my attention. From these experiences, I have found that overcoming fear is truly part of the process in developing as a mountain biker. While it may not seem fun at the time or feel like you are ever going to overcome the fear, if you take a minute to look back on the obstacles that used to scare you to death and now you ride them with ease, do you get a smile on your face? I do.
As Franklin D. Roosevelt said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself".

My son and i have been working a project with our "NXT" and now I may want to jump it to the EV3. The NXT robot was a slave to our Win7 PC. On this PC we have a Python script that is connected to both the NXT and a Minecraft server. Both played well with python. The Minecraft parts are from some Raspberry Pi stuff we have done with Minecraft. We created a CraftBukkit on the PC and RaspberryJuiced into the game to monitor and manipulate the game. The NXT/Minecraft stuff we have so far is proof of concept and the project is growing faster then the development. Original scope of the project was to have "Steve" push buttons in the Minecraft world. My Python scripts would monitor these button and command the NXT robot to move. Then we tested using the NXT color sensor to change the Minecraft world. Sense red->change block in Minecraft Red..You get the picture. All these functions are working well.
Now to why we want to go with the EV3.
With color sensing and Minecraft world manipulation we are thinking about abandoning the buttons in Minecraft and have the robot follow "Steve's" movements. To better sync "Steve" and the robot knowing the direction of the robot N,S,E,W would be required to keep them traveling in the same direction. We then are going to cover the table top with a grid of colored squares so we can map the environment in Minecraft.
Hardware I have today
NXT 1.0 home Parts no electronics
NXT 2.0 Home complete
EV3 Home
Will be getting from My sons school this week
NXT Education + expansion
EV3 Education **** The reason I'm looking at direction sensing
We hope to have the project to demo at the end of the month "Aug 27" at his open house. The school has asked us to bring our robots to the Open house because they are also hosting a STEM night.
I have worked in Eclipse before on some Android stuff in the past. I believe this is where leJOS works. I'm looking for a little direction so not to waste a lot of time if leJOS is the solution then I will dive in. I seen here at lejos forums a thread stating python 2.7 is now supported. This is why I'm here. I have not found any EV3-Python developed python libraries yet for PC controlled EV3's. Seem the work is on running Linux on the EV3 and python on brick.
I look forward in chatting more on this if this is the right place for me and sharing the end project too.

Tigers Send V8, 2V8 To NCAA Championship Races In Thrilling Semi Morning
LIVE VIDEO l LIVE RESULTS l PRINCETON'S NCAA HISTORY
The Princeton second varsity eight, a paragon of consistency throughout the season, was about 10 strokes away from a major disappointment. The Tigers, still fueled from the Ivy Championships, had other plans; their brilliant final sprint put them in the NCAA Championship grand final, along with the varsity eight.
The varsity eight will race for its third NCAA title in the last eight years when it joins Ohio State, Washington, USC, Virginia and California in the grand final Sunday morning at 10:50 a.m. at Eagle Creek Park in Indianapolis.
The second varsity will also race for NCAA gold; the Tigers will take on Yale, Ohio State, Brown, California and USC at 10:30.
The varsity four nearly made it a perfect morning for Princeton, but its final sprint ended less than a quarter second short of third place in its semifinal. The fours can still score big points for Princeton when it competes in the petite final Sunday at 10 against California, Stanford, Notre Dame, Michigan and Yale.
"It's always nice to get some boats into the finals" said head coach Lori Dauphiny, who has led Princeton to every NCAA Championship regatta since the inaugural event in 1997. "It's super hard to do, and even our four was right there."
Points are awarded for each team's final finish in Sunday's finals. The varsity eight winner earns 48 team points; every other team earns a multiple of three points based on its overall finish. Thus, the second-place team earns 45, the third-place team earns 42, etc. The second-varsity eight uses the same system, only with a multiple of two points, so the winner earns 32, the second-place team earns 30, etc. The varsity four earns one point per spot, with the winning team earning 16 points.
The maximum for a team with all three boats in the grand finals (only Ohio State and USC) is 96 points; Princeton can earn as many as 90 Sunday morning in the final day of the racing season.
The varsity eight, two weeks after winning its 13th Ivy League championship, was Princeton's first qualifier for the finals. The 2006 and 2011 NCAA champion V8 led the second semifinal through the first three splits, though top-ranked Ohio State had closed to within about a seat with 500 meters to go.
At that point, with the final four boats basically battling for one position, both Ohio State and Princeton came home with little pressure. The Buckeyes won in 7:14.41, while Princeton took second in 7:15.30. Washington barely held off a final sprint by Yale to finish third in 7:17.23, less than a half second faster than Yale.
"The varsity had a good race, though they have some mixed feelings from letting Ohio State through," Dauphiny said. "Still, it was a solid performance, and it got them to the next step, which is the most important thing."
"We are happy to be going to the grand final, but we know that we are going to have to handle the conditions better than we did this morning," senior stroke Molly Hamrick said. "They are very challenging conditions, but conditions that everyone is experiencing and that we will need to better overcome them in the final tomorrow."
Princeton will race in Lane 5 during the grand final. Washington (Lane 1), USC (2), Virginia (3), Ohio State (4) and California (6) will also compete for gold.
"We did what we needed to do out there today to qualify for the grand final," said Heidi Robbins, a 2013 von Kienbusch winner as one of the top female student-athletes in the Class of 2013. "It was not a pretty race as conditions were tough—lots of white water and a big headwind—but we did drive through it. It is thrilling. The grand final is where this boat has been training for all year. I look forward to a very exciting final race in tiger stripes."
While the varsity eight could cruise in its final 10 strokes, the second varsity had a far different experience. Brown, Virginia, Princeton and California put on a wild four-boat show in the second semifinal Saturday morning. California was fourth after 1000 meters, but it posted the fastest third split in the field to move from fourth to second with 500 remaining.
At that point, Brown had built a lead and would hold off California for the win, while the Golden Bears managed to keep second. The drama came between the two teams in orange, as Virginia held a half second lead going into the final split. As the finish line neared, Princeton put in the final charge it needed and ended up third in 6:55.26, just ahead of Virginia's bow (6:55.52).
Princeton will see a pair of its Ivy League rivals Sunday morning when it competes in the grand final from Lane 1. The Tigers will be right next to Yale (Lane 2), with Ohio State (3), Brown (4), California (5) and USC (6) in the rest of the field.
"That race was amazing, with leads being exchanged and I think everybody led at one point," Dauphiny said. "It's an inspiring story, because it was a rough day at Ivies, but they were really mature today and just kept pressing. It makes me feel really good."
Amazingly, the fours nearly topped that drama in its semifinal, and if the race was 2100 meters, it probably would have.
USC left the field almost immediately and won by more than five seconds in 7:44.82; the race caller basically stopped mentioning that crew after the 1000-meter mark. Virginia built a comfortable spot behind USC and took second in 7:50.08, but three boats had a fantastic final charge for the last spot.
Princeton came into the final split in the worst spot of the three, holding fifth and more than two seconds behind Washington State. The first task was to pass Notre Dame, which the Tigers managed, and then they put their full focus on Washington State. The lead continued to shrink with each stroke, but the distance to the finish line shrank slightly faster. Washington State held on in 7:52.48, while Princeton finished fourth in 7:52.69.
"It's still surreal that tomorrow is it, my last race with Princeton Crew," said Hamrick, who joined Robbins and junior Kelsey Reelick in the 2011 NCAA champion varsity eight. "There's nowhere I'd rather be than in that grand final, and I am beyond excited for my final opportunity to race as a Tiger against some of the fastest varsity eights in the nation. "There are four seniors in the boat and seven racing in their respective finals tomorrow, and I know we're all proud and excited to be here," Hamrick added. "Rowing has been a huge part of all of our lives for the past four to eight years, and, regardless of the outcome, I expect it to be an emotional morning/afternoon."

My impression is that there is no production ready post quantum scheme ATM.
NTRU seems to be decent (complete spec, reasonable parameter-sizes and performance), but I think it's patented. No idea about the licensing terms.
But whatever scheme you choose, don't use it instead of a conventional scheme(RSA, DH, ECDH) but in addition to a conventional scheme. If you use a good construction, your protocol will be as secure as the stronger of the schemes.

Game On!
The Party
The Associate Board of the Harold E. Eisenberg Foundation welcomed a sold-out crowd of young professionals and budding philanthropists for the fifth annual Eisenopoly fundraising event.
The Scene
The evening began at Macy's Narcissus Room, where some 450 guests chatted over cocktails and passed hors d'oeuvres before moving to the historic Walnut Room restaurant, where they were greeted with enviable silent auction items and an equally tempting spread of flatbreads (although, truth be told, the fried chicken and waffles proved to be the most popular). A fast-paced tournament of the event's signature game, played on customized Monopoly boards, had gamers competing for such luxe prizes as a two-night stay at the Thompson Chicago and dinner for four at Jellyfish in the Gold Coast. At the tournament's end, late-night revelers kept the party going at Public House.
The Highlights
So much for passing Go and collecting $200! This year's Eisenopoly raised nearly $100,000 for gastrointestinal cancer research at the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center. –Photos by Michael Hubatch

Lee Miller: Great Conflict Photographer, Not So Great Parent
When he was a little boy, Antony Penrose once bit Pablo Picasso and often played with a Man Ray assemblage. The son of conflict photojournalist Lee Miller and the painter/writer Roland Penrose, the young Penrose grew up around some of the most influential artists of the 20th century. However, in a recent interview, Penrose says he felt little connection to his mother, who before gave birth to her son had photographed the London blitz and the liberation of Dachau and Buchenwald as a correspondent for Vogue. "For the first 20 years of my life, she was lost to me, deeply affected by post-traumatic stress disorder," Penrose explains in an interview with the Peabody Essex Museum, which is currently hosting "Man Ray/Lee Miller, Partners in Surrealism." The exhibition examines the collaboration between surrealist photographer and painter Man Ray and Miller, the former fashion model who in 1929 became Man Ray's apprentice, frequent subject and at times the victim of his abuse.
Penrose, the author of two books on his mother's life and photography, tells PEM's Lisa Kosan that as an adult he eventually became friends with his mom. After her death, he went through her archive with David E. Scherman, a colleague and friend of Miller's. "He helped me understand that my mother, whom I saw as a useless drunk, had had a career and been incredibly brave as a combat photographer with the US Army Infantry in Europe. He helped me see a different side of the person I'd been embattled with all my life."
A sculptor who, like Man Ray, works in found objects, Penrose offers some keen insights into the PEM exhibition, his mother's work, Man Ray's art, and the philosophy and politics of their fellows in the surrealist movement. The full interview is available as a PDF on the PEM web site, www.pem.org/exhibitions.
If, as therapists say, you've only reached full maturity when you can see your own parents as whole people, Antony Penrose is a very mature individual.

Pensacola – Blue Wahoos Baseball Opening Day April 5th 2012
Those in the business of knowing about sports probably already know that Pensacola has a new Minor League Baseball team, the Blue Wahoos . Others of us might know simply due to the construction of a shiny new baseball stadium on the grounds of the (Community Maritime Park). Certainly baseball can be a moneymaker for the city, another draw for tourists, but very few realize how much goes into the setup of such a team.
Quint Studer, the owner of the Blue Wahoos team and major investor in the Community Maritime Park, spent over seventeen million dollars on the establishment of this new institution of downtown Pensacola. The team has existed since 1959, originally based in Charleston, South Carolina and known as the Charleston White Sox. The White Sox moved from town to town several times, until 1970 when the Columbus White Sox were renamed to the Columbus Astros. The team remained in Columbus until 1990 (though they were renamed again to the Mudcats in 1989), when they were moved to Zebulon, North Carolina, becoming the Carolina Mudcats. This was the team that Quint Studer purchased after selling Pensacola's former team, the Pelicans, to the city of Amarillo, Texas (where they are now known as the Amarillo Sox). The Zebulon team was then purchased by Studer, who, as part of the agreement, assisted in the move of the Kinston, North Carolina Indians to Zebulon as a replacement.
The new stadium that will be the home of the Blue Wahoos is located on the grounds of the new Vince Whibbs Sr. Community Maritime Park. The opening of the park, in fact, coincides with the date of the Blue Wahoos' first game on April 5, 2012, against the Montgomery Biscuits. (Single Game Tickets go on sale March 19th) , just over two weeks from now, and both (Blue Wahoos season tickets) and ("Mini Plans") covering specific sets of games will be available. The stadium is multipurpose, and will also be used for other sports, such as soccer and football. It could even double as a concert venue, certainly having enough room for seating and a stage

This year is poised to be a big one for actress Leslie Bibb. You may have seen her in such films as Iron Man, Confessions of a Shopaholic and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, but her starring role as Amanda Vaughn in the new ABC comedy GCB (opposite Kristen Chenoweth and Annie Potts) promises to be her best yet. Based on Kim Gatlin's novel, Good Christian Bitches, the show--which premiered March 4--follows the story of a single mom and former high school "mean girl" (Bibb) who returns to the Dallas-area Christian community of her childhood after her marriage ends in a scandal that is too good to spoil by revealing it here. Created by Robert Harling, who wrote the screenplays for Steel Magnolias and The First Wives Club, GCB is a mix of sass and smarts, a funny, edgy, topical take on life in churchgoing Southern suburbia. We caught up by phone with the 37-year-old actress, who is featured in the fashion pages of More's March issue, on sale now, just after she returned from the photo shoot in Jamaica. An edited version of the interview follows.
MORE: Did you always want to be an actress?
Leslie Bibb: Nooooo, it never clicked like that for me. I grew up interested in politics, so I always thought I'd become a lawyer, get married and have kids.
MORE: Many actors say they were bitten by the theater bug after appearing in a high school play. Not the case for you?
LB: I went to this all-girls Catholic school because [the public schools where she lived in Virginia] were quite dangerous at that time. This school was crazy for me, because I was a little Baptist Southern girl. It was apples and oranges, but I loved going. I loved wearing uniforms to school, because it became about who was smart and not about what you had on. I tried out for the school play my first year and [they gave me] the part of a guy. So I was like, "All right, I'll do it." And then the following year, one of the other girls' mothers was running the auditions and she was like, "You're just not very talented." So I didn't get a good part. I thought, "I'm a senior. You can forget it. I'm not going to be in this stupid play anyway."
MORE: At some point you won a modeling contest, right?
LB: Yes. I won a modeling contest on The Oprah Winfrey Show when I was 16, and it brought me to New York City. As goofy as it sounds, I had never been north of the Mason-Dixon Line. My senior year of high school I think I spent a week a month in New York doing jobs, and then I would go back to school. Being a model for the rest of my life was never the plan.
MORE: What was the plan?
LB: After high school I went to the University of Virginia. That's really all I wanted to do—go to UVA and then go to law school and then go into politics. And then in my first semester at UVA I felt like, "Oh, I don't fit in here." I just felt like a circle in a square. My mom tried to help me. I remember we went through the course catalogue and she said, "You can take an acting class." And I remember thinking, "Why am I going to take an acting class? What would I do with that?" But something clicked. I had been modeling, which is sort of like playing different parts, and so I asked my mom if I could take a year off from college and go back to New York. Within six months I got a TV commercial for Lee Jeans, which led to other commercials. That funded everything—I was able to live a beautiful life in New York City, and I could also afford to study acting. Acting felt right, so I went for it.
MORE: This is going to be a big year for you. Did you make any New Year's resolutions?
LB: It's a long list! Everything from a lot of personal growth things to learning to speak French. I'm so terrible with languages. I've taken Spanish, like, seven times, I'm not kidding, and I still don't speak it. I just ordered my French tapes from Rosetta Stone. They better work!

FHP: Trucks in weekend I-95 fog wreck left scene
Published: Monday, March 18, 2013 at 5:18 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 18, 2013 at 5:31 p.m.
The drivers of two tractor-trailers that stopped on Interstate 95 in the smoke and fog likely won't face charges for sparking a series of simultaneous crashes because they left before troopers arrived on the scene near Oak Hill, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
"Unfortunately, the semis that stopped in the road left when the crashes occurred," said FHP Sgt. Kim Montes Monday. "We have no information about either one that stopped. Had they stayed at the scene, they would have been facing charges for improper stopping on an limited access highway."
She said the semi drivers should have pulled off the roadway before stopping. However, the other crashes remain under investigation to determine if any of the other drivers will be charged.
The Sunday morning crashes occurred after the two tractor-trailers stopped in the southbound lanes of I-95 due to visibility issues, Montes said.
Five cars piled up on the southbound lanes about 7 a.m. when a Honda Civic, driven by Madeline Clark, 30, of Wisconsin stopped in the left lane because the semis were blocking all lanes, according to the report.
Clayton Lilly, 29, of Edgewater, hit Clark with his Mustang and suffered serious injuries.
Geoffrey Carrol, 22, of South Carolina, in turn, hit Lilly, and then hit a Toyota pickup whose driver was not fully identified. Carrol's Nissan Altima caught fire. It hit a fifth car, a Kia driven by Robert Hovan, 65, of Port Orange as it "slowed from the impact," a FHP report states.
"Separate crashes occurred in the northbound lanes, in the same area, minutes later," Montes said. "One crash involved four vehicles, and the other crash involved two vehicles. Both crashes were chain-reaction crashes, and no one was injured."
The wrecks shut down all lanes of the interstate between State Road 44 and State Road 46 in Brevard County for several hours Sunday.

GlobalSan Initiator with Xsan
Posted 19 March 2012 - 02:56 AM
Posted 19 March 2012 - 11:20 AM
We are having difficulty telling if your Drobo S or an FS model. The FS model offers no eSATA but offers a NIC, while the S model offers no NIC but has eSATA.
Assuming your Drobo is connected to your Xsan server via eSATA, you will need an iSCSI target running on our Xsan server so it can accept iSCSI connections. You will also need an iSCSI Initiator on each client you wish to connect via iSCSI.
With globalSAN, we offer both. You can install globalSAN's 'Xtarget' (iSCSI Target) on your Xsan server and globalSAN's iSCSI Initiator on each workstation to provide a complete iSCSI solution for both your servers and your clients.

Posted 22 March 2012 - 06:40 PM
If you're going to use iSCSI with XSAN, you still need to follow the best practices for setting up an XSAN environment, replacing Fibre Channel connected storage with iSCSI connected storage. XSAN requires separate Metadata controllers, a GbE metadata network (separate from the iSCSI network), a dedicated LUN for metadata, and then storage pools available for Media.
Aside from it's lack of network functionality I don't think you're going to pull all of this off with your Drobo.
As Barry mentioned, you can use our Xtarget software to present your Drobo S as iSCSI storage for other users. If you're to use this storage as such with an XSAN environment, then the system running Xtarget would need be dedicated to only bridging storage to iSCSI, not also acting as an XSAN client or MDC.
You can also use Xtarget with our iSANmp software, which offers a simple alternative workflow to an XSAN network, and does not require metadata networks, metadata controllers, or metadata LUNs, and it can run on the same system as the Xtarget software as well.
Posted 05 November 2013 - 04:26 PM
Hopping on to this thread as I'm having similar issues with configuring GlobalSAN initiator / Xtarget with XSAN.
Here's a quick run down of my setup.
MACPRO1 running Mountain Lion. I've JBOD the internal 4 x 2TB WD drives via SATA (I know I know, I've forsaken redundancy for capacity), and this mounts as an 8TB volume. The startup disk is on a separate 1.5TB disk connected via SATA in place of the second optical drive. This Mac Pro has GlobalSAN initiator and Xtarget to present this volume as iSCSI SAN and XSAN is enabled.
MACMINI running Mountain Lion Server, with a GlobalSAN initiator license and XSAN admin. This is to act as the MDC.
2 Client MACPROs running Mountain Lion, with GlobalSAN initiator license and XSAN enabled.
All of these machines have an ethernet port connected to a gigabit switch separate from the main internet network. I've manually assigned IP's to each machine.
On MACPRO1, I've set the Initiator to see the 'Local Xtarget Server' and connect Xtarget to mount the 8TB LUN as an iSCSI volume.
I can see that the volume appear on all of the iSCSI initiated machines as I've set all of the initiators to the MACPRO1 portal.
On MACMINI I use XSAN admin to create the SAN.
I set the MACMINI as a controller and the MACPRO1 and client MACPRO's as clients.
Following the steps I am able to create a SAN profile, with controllers and clients configured as members.
My issue is that the connected machines cannot see any visible LUNs, therefore preventing me from creating manageable volumes on the iSCSI network.
The reason behind this setup is that while SANmp could easily manage multiple users accessing a single SAN LUN, it prevent's simultaneous multiple r/w access.
This is becomes cumbersome when trying to scale up.
Can anyone please tell me if I've made an error in my setup and or advise on any method to make this setup work?
Posted 06 November 2013 - 07:38 AM
It sounds like you only have one MDC. You'll want to have two, leaving the Xtarget machine as a client.

Comfortable bed and great service
14 April 2016
The staff was friendly and welcoming and accommodating and able to answer all questions. The bedding was clean and comfortable. The room was nice and I love the kitchen. The breakfast was delicious. I will definitely be staying here again if I come to the bay area.
Spacious rooms and very clean
13 April 2016
We very delighted with our 1 night stay. We had an event at the raceways and this was a perfect spot to land in the evening. Bed was comfy for the most part. I always feel the pillows are way to big...but we deal with them. Loved the fact that the room was a suite with a full kitchen, pots, pans everything to cook an entire meal had we chose to. I cannot say enough...we loved it.
Thank you.

I drove from Los Angeles on a Monday night with my family. When I got to the hotel I needed a key to open the lobby door (Security reasons) outside the doors they have a phone that will send you to the front desk. I waited 35 min for someone to pick up the phone. When they finally open the door I notes a red mark on the persons face indicating she was sleeping.
This is the first time this has ever happen to me. I love Staybrige but this cant be happening.
