Last Wednesday I was fortunate to be able to attend a seminar on E-Repositories presented by the ALIA Information Science SA and the Joint University Library Staff Development Group, which is a collaboration between the three Universities here in Adelaide.
The speakers were:
- Katie Blake, from the ARROW Project
- Jenny Quilliam, from the University of South Australia
- Amanda Nixon, from Flinders University
- Steve Thomas, from the University of Adelaide
It was an excellent afternoon and I came away with a full page of notes and things to think about. Some of the issues I'd like to highlight here.
Vendor Support vs. Community Support
There was some discussion about the benefits of vendor support vs. the benefits of community support. Of the four speakers two were talking about the ARROW project and the associated commercial VITAL software from VTLS. The others concentrated on DSpace, which is an open source application. This is an interesting area which I think could be explored further. For example, in what circumstances would an organisation choose a commercial product over an open source product, and what benefits do they perceive as gaining by making such a choice?
Creating a sense of ownership
There continues to be a debate, often heated, about how content in a repository should be organised. Should it be organised into strict collections that reflect the structure of the institution, or should it be more "organic" and driven by those submitting to the repository. By having those submitting to the repository design the structure a sense of ownership can be developed and this can in turn assist in gaining acceptance of the repository. Others feel that such a structure will make data migration more complex at a future date and makes it harder to find content. I look forward to watching both systems of organisation evolve.
Copyright management
Copyright is a very big issue with repositories. Strategies need to be put into place to assist those submitting items to the repository to ensure that the content they add is copyright cleared. One example provided during the seminar was a collection of over 30 documents that were submitted for inclusion. Unfortunately only a small fraction could be used because they were publisher copies which are not allowed for inclusion in a repository by some publishers.
Access Controls and Embargos
Considerations such as the following are increasingly being thought about:
- What do you do with items that should be made available to the university community only?
- What do you do with items that are commercially sensitive and should not be made public?
- What do you do with items that can not be put into a repository now, but can in the future once an embargo period has passed?
There are no "hard and fast" rules for addressing these issues and they are, I suspect, going to need to be addressed by all universities that have repositories. These types of issues are particularly relevant to universities in Australia who are trying to come to terms with the impending Research Quality Framework.
Handles and persistent identifiers
The issue of handles was raised. A handle, or other persistent identifier, essentially provides a layer of abstraction between the repository and the URL used to retrieve a specific item. It is useful in ensuring the item has a URL for the entire life of the item. If, for example, a university changed repository solutions the URL used to gain access to the repository may change. By updating the record in the handle system for the item the handle URL will continue to be valid. A similar persistent identifier scheme is the Digital Object Identifier.
I would like to take this opportunity to offer my thanks to the speakers, and to those that organised the day. I think all of the participants gained something from attending.

The fourth annual Capital Queer Prom is the first to have a theme, says creator Ebone Bell.
"I've managed to get away with not having a theme, but I figured I probably can't do that for too much longer," Bell says.
So this year, the prom is running with "Casino Royale."
"It's still has the look and feel of a prom, but we thought we could jazz it up a little bit and people could gamble for a good cause."
That means a portion of dollars spent by prom-goers on tickets, blackjack and poker will go to help this year's beneficiary, the Wanda Alston House, a program of Transgender Health Empowerment (THE).
"The Wanda Alston House really caught my attention because we don't have [another] house in the area for LGBT youth," Bell says.
"We have an organization that is supporting LGBT youth, but when these kids are thrown out in the streets, where do they go? The Wanda Alston House not only houses the kids, but they also educate them and support them. It is a transitional home where they meet with a mentor every day."
According to Bell, last year's event attracted about 300 people to a prom on the Potomac by boat. Capital Queer Prom was able to donate a portion of 2009's proceeds, about $2,000, to One in Ten, the organization that produces Washington's annual Reel Affirmations Film Festival. Bell is hoping to go beyond that sum this year for THE.
Brian Watson, director of programs at THE, is surprised by and appreciative of the announcement.
"Any donation that we get, it goes right back out to the youth that are in our programs," Watson says. "It will probably be used to buy some things for the house or to help some of the kids with expenses that the grants we get don't pay for, such as books for school or clothing and other things like that."
THE was among several local LGBT organizations that suffered from the District's budget cuts last year. In February, Brother Help Thyself also helped THE face the fiscal hit by donating $7,552.
"I definitely think that people are stepping up," Watson adds. "I know that a lot of organizations have been hit. And I know that a lot people don't have money to give, but we definitely still need more help."
Watson, who did not go to his high school prom, says he plans on attending the Capital Queer Prom.
"I didn't go in high school because that's when I was coming out and it was a little awkward for me," he says. "This time I can be myself and enjoy it."
That's ultimately what the Capital Queer Prom is about, Bell says.
"This event really is a second chance to have the prom you should have had years ago. Do it up with people who are like you, and just have a good time."
The Fourth Annual Capital Queer Prom runs 7-10:30 p.m., Saturday, March 13, at the Almas Temple, 1315 K St. NW. Tickets, $50, are available until March 12. For details, visit capitalqueerprom.com.

From this distance, you might assume the pattern on the Sea Washed Animal Silk Dress ($242, on sale) is a small floral one, right? That would be pretty good, but not as good as the reality. Instead, the dress is covered in a menagerie of animals - mostly large birds and antelopes and their relatives - rendered in a style heavily inspired by traditional North American art.

Last Friday, newlyweds Jenelle Evans and Courtland Rogers created quite the tizzy when they announced they were getting divorced after only 26 days of wedded bliss. Via Twitter, of course.
Bloggers and Teen Mom 2 fans struggled to keep up with the madness, which eventually ended with Courtland reaffirming his love and Jenelle refusing to take responsibility for the manic tweets on her account. By the end of the day, the love birds had kissed and made up.
Well, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Jenelle and Courtland have broken up once again. When Courtland talked to his daughter (and, by extension, her mother Taylor) on the phone Saturday night after Jenelle had gone to bed, Jenelle was not too happy about it.

After making Bassmaster Classic history live on ESPN2 and being cheered by 15,000 fans in Birmingham, Ala., Boyd Duckett went back to work at Southern Tank Leasing in Demopolis, the tanker dealership he cofounded in 1991. Duckett won the $500,000 first prize Feb. 25 for a three-day catch on Lay Lake totaling 48 pounds, 10 ounces. Duckett is the first Classic winner to qualify through open tournaments – hence his dismissal, by some competitors, as a mere "rookie" – and the first to win in his home state. Guess which Lynyrd Skynyrd song was played as he held aloft his trophy.
At 3 a.m. on Jan. 9, B.J. Evans and Paul Skaer, headed home to Dallas from a Seattle hotshot run, hit an 800-pound elk on I-80 in Wyoming, knocking out their Ford F350 and its radio. Evans then suffered a heart attack. Most troubling were the 90 minutes that Skaer struggled to get a signal on his cell phone as their fellow truckers sped past. "It was 10 degrees and 4 feet of snow out there, and nobody – nobody – would stop to help us," says Evans (pictured), now recovered. "If this is what truck driving is all about, then somebody needs to teach men and women what a wreck is all about."
Nine big trucking fleets and the American Trucking Associations have called for mandatory devices that will cap the speed of big rigs, and one in nine readers of eTrucker.com agree with them. Most readers, however, would veto the restriction.

"I've never seen the bridge lose."

Agreed. I don't think we should fudge Groovy to cover up some bad classes in the JDK - I'm more concerned with a simple, concise and powerful core language. Though we have already started making the JDK more groovy, so it'd be nice to fix the broken 'beans' - however I'm totally happy with making that a 2.0 goal/feature so we can punt on it for now.

Thanks Ariya
I saw that when it came out when I was a kid and had the recording later. They released the soundtrack a decade later, in the early to mid-90s I think on CD. I couldn't believe it; walked in the store and there's the soundtrack by Queen all over the shelf in yellow from this old movie. Must have been an anniversary or something. My favorite character was probably Klytus.

well Bummer, one of the party quit, so were down to 2, now up to needing 4. Tho I did get a second account, just need to get the game copied on the other comp. So really, was just needing 2, till today.
We lost our Tanker in the Party.
I know playing a paladin in this game is a pain, well I know on League side it is. I tried the Elf pally, cool he can tank, but can't do squat on damage. Then recently I started a Kanian Pally, well they nice, but your reduced to just using a Spear, because of their Race ability, your not stuck with just using spear, it is just to use their race ability, you must be using a spear, and it is a nice skill.
Only bad thing about the spear is, it's slow.
Anyhow, guess I'll be having to level up this new pally so are now 2 man party can have a Tank.
we been dabbing in the crafting areas. That is interesting so far.
Oh I do have an Lvl 8 healer on Empire, and a lvl 6 Psionics , I kinda forgot to click the cloths button before I clicked the green check when I created the Psi, so now I have Arisen Psi that is running around with just a shirt and leather speedos

Gt. Massingham, one of Norfolk's most attractive villages, is located approximately 40 miles west of Norwich and 13 miles east of King's Lynn. It has one of the most impressive greens in the country with several large ponds (home to the dabbling ducks!), which were originally fish ponds for an 11th century Augustinian Abbey.
Britain's first Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole, was educated in the village before going on to build the breathtaking Houghton Hall nearby.
It is possible that the origins of Gt. Massingham date back as far as the 5th Century AD when the area was inhabited in the wake of the Roman withdrawal, by a group of Angles and Saxons whose leader's name was Maesron. The settlers were known as Maersings, hence "Maersingham" – later spelt as Massingham.
Click on the images below for further information on just a few of the many fantastic attractions the immediate area around Gt. Massingham has to offer. In addition, a Google search will soon reveal a huge range of days out around Norfolk with something for everyone.

Monica Betson-Montgomery knows exactly what it takes to give kids a competitive 'edge' when preparing them for college – during her career she has personally read and scored more than 20,000 freshman applications for the University of California at Berkeley!
Combining her vast experience and knowledge, Montgomery came up with a comprehensive, successful strategy for better preparing children to be competitive college applicants. The Keys to College: A Road Map for Parents to Guide Their Children (MM & Associates) by Monica Betson-Montgomery is a resourceful handbook that demystifies the steps needed to prepare parents and their children for college. Written in a no-nonsense, easy-to-understand style, this book is a must-read for parents wanting to effectively navigate their way through their student's educational career, from grade school through high school - and beyond!
Packed with concise and accurate information, it offers powerful tools for any parent dedicated to the ongoing education of their student. Chapters include topics such as, Reaching Out for Help, Establishing Good Study Habits, College Pre-Requisites & Recommended Subjects, Different Types of Colleges and, of special interest to many, a chapter on Financing College. Also, in a chapter titled Sample Student Profiles, the author not only gives essay examples but goes on to analyze the essay's that include assessments. Her examples and explanations are well thought out and easy to follow and the assessments are extremely enlightening.
The author has simplified what can often be a complex process by providing a step-by-step road map that lays the groundwork for parents to prepare and execute a plan that will give their child an advantage in this very competitive educational environment.

|Semipositivity in positive characteristics
|Algebra and Number Theory Seminar
|Zsolt Patakfalvi, Princeton University
|Results of Griffiths, Fujita, Kawamata, Viehweg, Kollar, etc. stating semipositivity of relative canonical bundles and of the pushforwards of their powers were crucial in the development of modern algebraic geometry. Most of these results required the characteristic zero assumption, partially due to the use of Hodge theory. In this talk I present semi-positivity results in positive characteristics. The main focus is moduli theoretic situations, in which the best known results in positive characteristics were for families of stable curves by Szpiro and Kollar and for K3 surfaces by Maulik. I present results for arbitrary fiber dimensions allowing sharply F-pure (char p equivalent of log canonical) singularities and semi-ample or ample canonical sheaves for the fibers. I will also discuss some applications: projectivity of proper coarse moduli spaces, characteristic zero implications and a special case of subadditivity of Kodaira dimension in the above mentioned moduli setting.

My Special Girl gave birth to a colt at 9:22 pm on , March 29, 2014, at Penn Vet's New Bolton Center. While foals are born every day, what makes this birth unique is that people were able to watch the whole process live, via New Bolton's "Foal Cam."
My Special Girl is an 11-year-old Thoroughbred that was donated to New Bolton Center. Her grey foal weighed 104 pounds and measured 39.5 inches from crown to tail at birth.
Beginning today, the public will help decide the colt's name at www.vet.upenn.edu/foalcam. Voters can choose from eight proposed names during the week-long contest.
The live feed from My Special Girl's stall in New Bolton Center's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is available at www.vet.upenn.edu/foalcam. Since it was first used on Feb. 26, more than 133,000 people in 112 countries have tuned in to monitor the mare, the birth, and the new foal.

Castleford 12 Bulls 20
Tries from Jarrod Sammut, Tom Burgess and Brett Kearney handed the Bulls their first victory of the new Stobart Super League at a snow-bound Castleford.
Sammut touched down a fine pass from Kearney in the 10th minute and Burgess added a second from close range on the stroke of half-time.
Luke Gale, Bradford's creative fulcrum throughout with some excellent kicking, converted both scores to put his side 12-0 up at the break.
Castleford battered the Bulls' line for long periods in both halves but Mick Potter's men defended doggedly to keep them at bay.
Ian Millward's side scored through Josh Griffin in the 50th minute but a penalty from Gale gave the Bulls breathing space before they grabbed a late third from Kearney to cap a superb afternoon's work.
The Tigers replied in the dying embers through Richard Owen but the Bulls were already home and dry.

STARR Procedure Offers Less Invasive Option for Treating ODS
Printer-friendly format
By: BY DALE SHORT
There's a new surgical solution to a vexing problem that affects millions of women. Some 16 percent of women in the United States suffer from chronic constipation, and patients who don't respond to modifications in diet and exercise, or to laxatives, are frequently diagnosed with a condition known as obstructed defecation syndrome.
ODS results when a weakening of the wall between the back of the vagina and the front of the rectum — a defect called a rectocele — allows the rectum to bulge into the vagina during a bowel movement. The problem is typically repaired by vaginal surgery. But surgeon Dr. Mark Parker of the Alabama Colon and Rectal Institute says there are drawbacks to that procedure: "There's not only a fair amount of discomfort, but the scarring on the back of the vaginal wall can cause possible sexual side effects such as dyspareunia, or painful intercourse."
A new procedure known as STARR (stapled transanal rectal resection) is a less-invasive approach that removes the bulging excess tissue through the rectum instead. Because no external incisions are required, STARR leaves no visible scars and can shorten recovery times. It's been available in Europe for years, but has only recently been approved in the United States after successful clinical trials.
Parker, who's one of only three colorectal surgeons in Alabama certified to perform the new procedure, says a typical ODS sufferer is a woman in her 40s or 50s who has had multiple childbirths or a hysterectomy. "The rectovaginal septum, the wall between the vagina and the rectum, involves two specialties — OB/GYNs and colorectal surgeons — and is a difficult area to repair," says Parker. "But in recent years our understanding of the pelvic floor has improved, and so has stapling technology in general."
According to Ethicon Endo-Surgery, common symptoms of ODS are prolonged bowel movements, prolonged straining, incomplete passage of the stool, and a general feeling of pressure or discomfort after defecation. Patients may have to insert fingers into the vagina or anus to help the stool pass. A number of diagnostic tests are used to determine ODS, including colonoscopy, electromyography (EMG), anal manometry, colonic marker studies, and dynamic defecography. Men may also develop rectoceles, according to the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons, though the condition is uncommon.
The problem of chronic constipation is far from new. According to a report in the New England Journal of Medicine, the condition results in some 2.5 million doctor visits each year, some 92,000 hospitalizations, and laxative sales of several hundred million dollars. But obstructed defecation syndrome is a fairly new term, and many physicians are not yet familiar with it.
One study shows that 37 percent of women who meet the symptom criteria for constipation don't consider themselves constipated. ODS is also a condition that women don't tend to discuss with others, Parker says, and as a result it's not as well known as it should be: "In my experience, women are far more hesitant to discuss the subject than other common procedures such as a breast biopsy or gallbladder surgery, whether it's from embarrassment or other reasons." He hopes that's changing, though.
The United States STARR pilot study found that STARR reduces ODS symptoms and significantly improves the quality of life for patients. The benefits were sustained at a one-year follow-up. European researchers found that benefits were sustained after a 20-month evaluation, and that patients experienced minimal postoperative pain and resumed normal activity or employment in six to 15 days.
Parker says that four specific complaints from patients are an indication that their constipation may require more in-depth examination:
· Fewer than three bowel movements per week.
· The need to strain at least 25 percent of the time during bowel movements.
· A feeling of not being able to complete a bowel movement at least 25 percent of the time.
· Hard or lumpy stools at least 25 percent of the time.

Consumers can now find out which personal care products have cancer-causing chemicals, thanks to a free iPhone app.
Each day woman and men apply personal care products to improve their grooming and hygiene. But the brief good these care products do may conceal long term health risks, according to a Feb. 10 article in dietsage.com.
Most women apply products like moisturizers, lotions, makeup, perfume and so forth, daily. Most men use shaving cream and aftershave lotion every day—as well as products that take care of things that most men find too personal to talk about. For both genders there are shampoos, conditioners, deodorants, antiperspirants, lotions, creams, powders, toothpaste, body and hand wash product--and lots more. There are also personal care products for children that range from sunscreen to diaper cream.
While not all substances in these products are unsafe, many contain man-made chemicals that have been linked to diseases like cancer. Incredibly, the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) is powerless to review and monitor personal care ingredients making cosmetics one of the most under-regulated consumer products.
The free iPhone app, "Deep Skin" reveals info on these personal care products, as well as, ingredients and chemicals to avoid. Users just enter the name of a product and tap search—or scan a bar code—to get a list of products with that name. Tap the relevant name and you get a complete product description with ingredients, along with any health concerns and a product safety rating that makes finding the safest products easy.
"Deep Skin" requires iOS 6.0+, is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and is optimized for iPhone 5.

Housing the foundation for economic growth
Published: Monday, July 21, 2014 at 5:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 18, 2014 at 6:23 p.m.
With new and encouraging indicators that the area's housing market is rebounding, nervous homeowners can finally start to exhale.
The number of new home construction permits is up significantly in Volusia and Flagler counties from the previous year — 25 and 25.5 percent respectively.
Area foreclosures are also down compared to 2013 — 48.6 percent in Volusia and 52 percent in Flagler.
And at least in Daytona Beach, city officials have decided they won't use a property tax rate higher than the current levy for their upcoming budget year.
Taken together, they all suggest we're headed in the right direction.
But many of these precursors to a revived tax base are from suburban, exurban and rural areas, not the region's economic wellspring.
As our area housing economy rebounds, and big beachfront developments garner all the attention, developers, elected officials, and civic leaders should not forget Daytona Beach's dilapidated housing stock.
If they do, there will be great suburbs outlying glittering new beachfront hotels and condos.
Wedged glaringly in between will be a swath of aging, substandard housing stock in need of a major makeover. It's not a pretty picture.
But we can avoid that stark future by making sure that the municipality that drives the area's economic engine offers homes worthy of its importance to the region, and is not left behind.

If you and your spouse are the season for car shopping January 16-24th is a great opportunity to get some very important questions answered pertaining to your next big investment as husband and wife. The auto show will be held at Cobo Center, One Washington Boulevard in Detroit, Michigan.
Attending the 2010 North American International Auto Show is significant to you and your spouse because it will broaden your knowledge base on the choices that you both have in choosing a new vehicle. The decision to buy a new vehicle should be a joint decision formed mutually through substantial observation and evidence for the current demand. In most marriages, both parties bring their former cars into their financial ledger as either an asset or liability. Whatever the case, if the time is now to embark upon a new automobile then research must be compiled to make the right decision for the both of you.
It is very important that you are very careful in choosing the type of vehicle that is durable for a lifestyle of two or more. What type of vehicle will you buy, how will it be compatible to your future family plans (children) and what are the key elements you should look for at the Detroit Auto Show?
Studies done by Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology show a significant percentage in the ratio of men versus women in technical fields. These studies performed in several different countries including the U.S. show a drastic gap in the percentage of men to women in obtaining technical degrees. Since statistics show that men tend to be more technologically savvy, I sat down with Detroit native, electrical engineer and entrepreneur M.F.J (given alias) to fill us in on the top questions to ask at the auto show. M.F.J's questions are as follow:
- How many miles per gallon?
- How big is the engine size?
- Does it come with a warranty?
- Does it come fully loaded?
- Is it ipod ready?
- Is it two door or four door?
- Does it have automatic locks?
- How much trunk space does the vehicle have?
- Do the seats fold or do they come out?
- What are the color options for this vehicle?
- As consumers, what precautions can we take in purchasing a product that will be fitting to our environment?

Ever since I hit 50, everyone I know has begun to complain about word retrieval. My friends have started to devote their free time to crossword puzzles, sudoku and memorizing poetry. For them, forgetfulness is a sudden, alarming shift from clarity and precision and eloquence to halting vagaries, the mental equivalent of needing reading glasses. It's one of the inconveniences of leaving youth behind, like acquiring jowls or frown lines. But for me, nothing has changed at all. I have always lived in this land where everyone looks familiar but no one has a name.
I have no memory. I don't mean I suffer from dementia, or even the creeping word loss of middle age. I mean that from a very early age I have lived in a vague, timeless valley ringed by towering mountains of what I have forgotten: monumental events and facts of my own life; friends' faces; delightful lyrics; eminent names, and intimate names too; dates both historical and personal; engaging plots; brilliant performances on stage, screen and street corners; and whole songbooks of lovely, lost melodies. In the quiet, obscure landscape of my memory there are, of course, occasional intense, random details I vividly remember, which means my life is rich and full of surprises. And as my friends have begun to catch up, this forgetful life has become less lonely.
"That book . . . the one about . . . you know . . . " I say.
"By what's his name?" Sarah says.
"No, the other one, the other one . . . " Molly says.
"Oh, that book!" Sarah cries.
"That one, yes, that one!" I say.
"By her!" Molly says, and we all nod happily.
This conversation took place in a publisher's office a year or so ago: a writer, an editor and an agent, all of us the same age, all of us waving our arms and nodding vigorous encouragement to the others, as if we were hunting dogs, huge-pawed puppies in the woods of middle-aged memory just learning to retrieve dead ducks, gingerly, in our big slobbery jaws. Scientists call this inability to recall a name "TOT," or tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon. It has something to do with the anterior cingulate and prefrontal cortices. I'm sure there are scientific names for many of the varieties of memory challenges I live with, though few, I suspect, with such a jolly, colloquial ring as TOT.
A few years ago I visited my high school boyfriend and his wife at their house. It was the first time I had seen him in years. He put on a blues CD.
"This is great," I said. "Who is it?"
He stared at me, clearly appalled. "Son House," he said, coaxingly. "You introduced me to his music."
Later that day I remarked that it was odd that I had barely heard of the Grateful Dead, much less listened to their music, until one of my children made a joke about Deadheads. Were they not popular when we were in high school?
Again, the dismayed look. Then, "You and I went to hear them in concert at the Fillmore East."
I know what you're thinking, and I don't blame you: It was the 1960s—those were the days—but no, sorry, not a druggy thing. A memory thing. Son House and the Grateful Dead just . . . slipped my mind. I like that expression. Things do seem to just slip from memory, lightly, unceremoniously, like socks dropping to the floor, unnoticed, when you transfer the laundry from the hamper to the washing machine.

The NBA playoffs have been a nightmare for the Indiana Pacers in all but one aspect. The mere fact the Pacers are still in the NBA playoffs is the only upside, after barely getting by the 38-win Atlanta Hawks in round one and starting off terribly against the Washington Wizards in round two. Even winning the next two games over Washington didn't signal that Indiana was truly back, especially when it trailed by 17 points at halftime of Game 4 on May 11 -- but its comeback for a 95-92 victory might be a clearer sign.
For the first time in the playoffs, the Pacers are in total command of a series. Yet when the Wizards held them to 11 second-quarter points and led by 55-38 at the half, it looked like their same old postseason pattern of one step forward, two steps back. Instead of coughing up momentum again, however, Indiana woke up -- or rather Paul George did.
By the time he was finished, George had 39 points and seven three-pointers, including two that began the Pacers final push in the fourth. Yet he gave Indiana the lead for good on two free throws, which Washington couldn't match because it stopped making field goals, hitting only one in the final seven-and-a-half minutes.
Even Roy Hibbert is hitting shots again, after starting the NBA playoffs on the worst note imaginable. All the Pacers started on the worst note imaginable, at least until they fell behind by 3-2 to the Hawks, as they have gone 5-1 ever since.
After all the aggravation of the last several weeks, Indiana is where everyone expected it to be all along -- on the verge of another conference final with the Miami Heat. Of course, since the Pacers have lost three home games in these playoffs and one to the Wizards, there's still some room for improvement left.
With the Pacers' early struggles in the NBA playoffs and with the Wizards' early success, Washington looked like the better team until it got back home. Their offensive futility in Game 3 and their second half futility in Game 4 may soon haunt the Wizards all offseason -- while serving as the break the Pacers needed to finally get straight for good.
If Indiana is really back on top, winning Game 5 and finishing Washington on May 13 should be much easier.

The Super Bowl: Now With Mittens
You dream of many things growing up as a sports fan in New Jersey. But your Fixer can attest that watching one of Jersey's two home teams play in an East Rutherford Super Bowl isn't one of them. More so even than a New Jersey Nets title run, the idea of a Super Bowl in Jersey just seemed too improbable. It still kind of does, but the NFL's announcement Tuesday made the idea of a cold-weather Super Bowl off the Garden State Parkway a certainty. The NFL has decided that Super Bowl XLVIII will be played at the newly constructed – and yes, open air – stadium in the Meadowlands in February of 2014.
"The forecast for Feb. 2, 2014, the potential date of Super Bowl XLVIII, calls for a temperature in the low-30s, with strong winds, a possible snowfall and a 100% chance of shivering, whimpering fat cats," the Journal's Darren Everson writes. And while the good Bergen County native in me wants to recommend some Meadowlands-adjacent places to eat — Visiting CEO's, I give you Steve's Sizzling Steaks — your Fixer can vouch for the fact that February in New Jersey is not exactly February in Tampa or Miami, the two cities that East Rutherford beat out for the bid. Even New Jersey residents are split on the idea of a Meadowlands Super Bowl, and Floridians are some combination of confused and incensed.
Others are bullish on the prospect. "The Super Bowl is always played in either warm weather or in the cozy air-conditioned comfort of domes, and I always figured that this was more for the fans," Sports Illustrated's Joe Posnanski writes. "But, that's a business thing. From a sporting side, I've always thought that a cold-weather Super Bowl now and again makes a lot of sense. You have to love Bill Cowher's classic line: 'Yeah, I'd like 75 degrees and sunny all the time, too, but that's not football.'"
New Jersey in February isn't exactly Green Bay in December, but it will indeed feel like a football game out there in 2014. It won't be traditional, as Super Bowls go, but if it works out, it could mean more cold-weather Super Bowls in the future. Here's some advice from someone who knows, for those packing early: mittens and hats. Oh, and go to Steve's Sizzling Steaks.

After a pair of lopsided losses in Los Angeles, the Phoenix Suns were all but written off in the NBA's Western Conference finals. But Phoenix has managed to rewrite the ending, or at least defer it, over two games in Arizona. The Suns evened the series with a 115-106 win Tuesday night, thanks to improved three-point marksmanship, an astonishing effort from their five-man reserve squad and a zone defense that the Lakers continue to have a tough time solving. That all these things are happening at once have to give the Lakers pause, and cause for some introspection.
"On their home floor, the Suns were able to flip the script that says a team playing a quick-strike, 3-point shooting style can't advance this deep in the postseason," Ken Berger writes at CBS Sports. "Gentry talked about how his team's chemistry — with starters urging him to keep the reserves in when they're rolling — gives them 'a college team mentality.' He wasn't joking. The Suns won a playoff game playing a 2-3 zone for almost 48 minutes. What's next, the 1-3-1 trap?" Whatever's next, your Fixer will be on it. This series is worth watching again.
And for those looking for brewing fake controversies: It's safe to assume that Kobe Bryant was not totally in earnest when he frostily described his mood as "jovial" to reporters after the loss.

It's one of the weirdest spectacles in sports: A college athletic department delivers a dramatic public mea culpa for various violations of NCAA rules before announcing a plan for restitution and self-administered justice. It's all in the hopes that the significantly less-biased NCAA might be dissuaded from calling a similar press conference and announcing a harsher punishment, or at least be moved by the violators' contrition and forthrightness. On Tuesday, the University of Michigan stepped before the bright lights to announce its self-punishment for NCAA rules violated by football coach Rich Rodriguez. Michigan decided to put itself on probation, but not to bar itself from any postseason play. Now, they'll just have to wait and see if the NCAA is as generous.
That depends on things that, naturally, the UM announcement didn't particularly clear up. "What did staffers, especially Rodriguez know [about the alleged violations]? What should they have known? And, most important, did Michigan break the rules intentionally or accidentally?" Michael Rosenberg writes in the Detroit Free Press. "The answers likely will determine whether the infractions committee imposes additional penalties." For those critical answers to tougher questions, we'll have to wait for the results of an investigation conducted by someone other than the alleged violators.

The Texas Rangers declared bankruptcy Monday, but it wasn't as bad as it sounds. Financially speaking, things are pretty bad for the Rangers, obviously. The team, which is subsisting on a bailout-style line of credit supplied by Major League Baseball, is over $75 million in debt, and leverage-happy owner Tom Hicks' Hicks Sports Group has debts of over $500 million. The bankruptcy was designed to separate the Rangers' debt from Hicks Sports Group's, and thus to facilitate the sale of the club to a group led by Chuck Greenberg and current Rangers team president and former ace Nolan Ryan.
That sounds fairly simple, but rest assured, it's really not. As it turns out, the fact that two of the Rangers' biggest creditors are former catcher Mickey Tettleton (who last played for the team in 1997) and utilityman Mark McLemore (who left the team in '99) isn't even the strangest revelation to emerge during the Rangers' strategic bankruptcy. It's an intriguingly weird mess, but a mess all the same.
"The typical Rangers fan isn't concerned about whether those who trusted Hicks get every million they're owed," ESPN's Jim Reeves writes. "On the other hand, this whole situation reminds me of folks in suits and ties trying to negotiate their way across a giant pigpen: Nobody gets to the other side clean."

Joe DeRenzo: She's a Woman
She's a Woman
Joe DeRenzo (drums)
Step Inside Love ñ A Jazzy Tribute to the Beatles (ESC 03719-2)
Joe DeRenzo (drums),
Glen Berger (sax), Brian Hughes (guitar), Tom Zink (piano), Kevin Axt (bass), Richie Gajate-Garcia (percussion).
Composed by Lennon/McCartney.
Recorded: Long Beach, CA, January-October 2006
Rating: 88/100 (learn more)
This performance included on the ESC collection Step Inside Love ñ A Jazzy Tribute to the Beatles first appeared on drummer Joe DeRenzo's fine album Core Beliefs. DeRenzo was out of the music business for quite a spell before he decided to reenter it a few years ago. After stints as an actor and photographer, he returned to his first love with a passion. Along with longtime collaborator pianist Tom Zinc, he interprets "She's a Woman" in the '60s mode of Ramsey Lewis. The tune begins with a group-inclusive vamp before it introduces Zink's Lewis-ish take on the melody. During his solo, Zink gets into the tune deeper than Lewis would have, without ever losing the vibe. Saxophonist Berger is also a standout, his solo being a particular highlight here. Throughout, the rhythm unit keeps things moving along jauntily. This is fun jazz. It is good to have Joe DeRenzo back in the fold.

Miami Dolphins working to salvage season
Is it just me, or is Chad Henne and the Miami Dolphins growing up right in front of our eyes.
Despite the team's 0-3 start, this group never quit on themselves. They never hung their heads when they suffered those early gut-wrenching losses. Or lost Chad Pennington, last year's co-MVP. They never mailed it in when times got tough, and injuries started to mount, and now they are seeing the light.
"That's the crazy thing about this game of football. All you need is the guys in your locker room," said linebacker Joey Porter. "People are going to put you away when you have certain bumps in the road, but a good team that believes in itself is going to find a way to make it happen. We pride ourselves on working hard out there, and we put our work ethic against anybodies. [Monday night] it was good to see some of the fruits of your labor payoff."
Despite a difficult start to 2009, Tony Sparano's team (2-3) is right back in the hunt for the AFC East title.
They've already proven they can beat the Jets, no matter how much the referees helped them (and they did Monday night). The Buffalo Bills appear to be lost in the wilderness. And the Patriots, which are led by Tom Brady and his one good leg, are looking mighty vulnerable these days.
That means it's anyone's division to win, and if the Dolphins come off this week's bye strong – beating the Saints in what will be a difficult matchup for Miami's leaky secondary, and taking care of business on the road against the Jets and Patriots - the Dolphins could be in the drivers season for the second straight season.
A lot will come down to how Henne blossoms within the next month, and how the pieces around him come together (the special teams unit needs a booster shot, especially if Patrick Cobbs is lost for the season).
Everyone knew Henne had the arm to be a good NFL quarterback. What Monday night showed us is that he also have the moxie, and leadership it takes to command men, and make them believe.
Those fourth-quarter drives showed us something about the team's new starter, and POSSIBLE franchise quarterback.
It's too early to say for sure he's the guy considering defenses will eventually adjust to his strengths, and attack his weaknesses. But again, there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel, and at this point that's all you can ask for.
Henne's 130.4 quarterback rating Monday night was spectacular, especially considering it was his second start. He completed 20 of 26 passes for 241 yards and threw two touchdowns in what has to be the biggest game he's ever played (yes I'm including those Michigan-Ohio State battles).
One of those scores was a beautiful 53-yard pass to Ted Ginn Jr., whose career might finally take off now that he can run takeoffs that he won't regularly outrun.
But that's not the strength of the Dolphins offense. That distinction belongs to the $155 million offensive line, which continues to plow open holes for the tailbacks. Last night the Dolphins gained 151 rushing yards and scored two touchdowns on the ground.
Old man Ricky Williams contributed 138 yards of offense on 14 touches.
The Wildcat keeps clawing defenses, and the way the run-oriented scheme executed against the Jets, who are lead by Rex Ryan, the supposed Wildcat tamer, you'd think opposing teams will be even more puzzled how to stop this thing.
They'll more than likely dedicate even more practice time to figuring out a formula on how to shut it down now that Miami has proven Ryan's doesn't consistently work.
Who outside of me thinks the Dolphins coaches, specifically offensive coordinator Dan Henning, used the Wildcat on that last play, Ronnie Brown's 2-yard touchdown run, to nut punch Ryan and their hated AFC East rivals.
It's clear from Ryan's press conference that the loss got under his many rolls of skin.
Sometimes a nut punch is the best way to put down a bully.

A scatter plot for Albinaria
In the previous post, I presented a histogram for the heights of a sample of 131 adult shells of an Albinaria species. Now here is a bivariate plot of shell heights (H) against shell diameters (D) for the same sample.
Height and diameter are about equally variable and they are also correlated with each other. What could this mean?
If the snails were under strong selective pressure to conserve their shell volumes, we would expect a negative correlation between H and D: when H became large, D would be smaller and vice versa. So a plot of D against H would look like this:
I obtained this plot by calculating a hypothetical value of D for each measured value of H at a constant volume. I obtained the volume from the mean H and D values for the sample assuming that the shell shape was a cylinder. Of course, in a real-life sample there would be scatter arising from biological variation and measurement error.
The positive correlation between H and D in my sample (1st plot) indicates that shell volume is not conserved. What is under selection is probably the shape of the shell. But what is the significance of shell shape?
Let this be tonight's food for thought. I will probably return to this topic in the future.

Collection on Benjamin Harrison S1178, V333 1891-1953, bulk 1901-1908 5 folders, 4 volumes
Return to the Alphabetical List of All Online Finding Aids
Processed by: Christina Baich, March 2006
Biographical Note:
Benjamin Harrison was born on August 20, 1833, in North Bend, Ohio. His father, John Scott Harrison, was a U.S. Representative from Ohio, and his grandfather was William Henry Harrison, ninth President of the United States. Benjamin Harrison was raised in Ohio and attended Miami University of Ohio. After graduating in 1852, Harrison studied law for two years at a Cincinnati law firm. In 1853, he married Caroline Scott with whom he had two children, Russell and Mary.
After a year of marriage, the Harrisons moved to Indianapolis, Indiana, where Benjamin Harrison established a law firm. In 1855, he joined the practice of William Wallace (father of Lew Wallace). He was elected Indianapolis City Attorney in 1857. He also served as reporter for the Indiana Supreme Court. In 1862, Oliver P. Morton asked Harrison to recruit men for the 70th Indiana Volunteers. Harrison served throughout the Civil War and reached the rank of Brigadier General. Harrison was narrowly defeated in the 1876 gubernatorial election by James Williams. In 1879, he was appointed a member of the Mississippi River Commission. He served three terms as a U.S. Senator (1881-1887).
In 1888, he was elected President of the United States. Among his accomplishments were the first Pan American Congress and the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. Towards the end of his term, his wife Caroline died of tuberculosis. Harrison failed to win reelection in 1892, perhaps partially due to his distraction from the campaign when his wife died. After leaving office, he returned to Indianapolis and his law practice. In 1896, he married Caroline's niece, Mary Lord Dimmick. He remained an active writer and lecturer until his death on March 13, 1901, of pneumonia.

Modex 2012: RedPrairie says order anywhere, fulfill anywhere
February 08, 2012 - MMH Editorial
Between stores, the Internet and smart phones, consumers can place an order or make a purchase no matter where they're located.
Similarly, retailers can now fulfill their customers from anywhere they have inventory, said Tom Kozenski, vice president of product strategy for RedPrairie (Booth 405), a provider of supply chain software solutions that extend from the point of manufacture to the point of sale.
"From a supply chain standpoint, we have built out our platform to support an order anywhere, fulfill anywhere retail strategy," Kozenski said. By extending warehouse, inventory management and shipping solutions into the retail store, Kozenski explained, a retailer can gain visibility into its inventory positions across the network, whether the inventory is in a store, a distribution center or in a trailer on its way to a distribution center.
That allows a retailer to take an order in its stores, from the Internet, from a smartphone or from a kiosk, and then fulfill it from the distribution center or retail store that is most advantageous to the retailer.
"The retail supply chain is changing and the biggest change has come as retailers have discovered that they can ship direct-to-consumer orders from their stores if they have a label printer and a terminal in the backroom," Kozenski said. "With a holistic view of inventory, they can use business logic they can optimize the decision making about where is the best place to fulfill that order."
Modex 2012 is scheduled to be held February 6-9, 2012 in Atlanta's Georgia World Congress Center. The tradeshow will showcase the latest manufacturing, distribution and supply chain solutions in the material handling and logistics industry. Modern's complete Modex 2012 coverage.

La Mesa streetscape project to begin
Construction will revamp La Mesa Blvd.
LA MESA, Calif. - The funds are finally in place for the city of La Mesa to begin a project whose genesis began in 2008.
"We've waited a long time for this, and it's desperately needed," said La Mesa Mayor Art Madrid.
Madrid and other civic leaders symbolically broke ground Wednesday on section of La Mesa Boulevard that will be revamped with new sidewalks, streets, trees, as well as sewer and electrical.
The $5.8 million effort will begin between Palm Avenue and Third Street, and it will take close to a year to complete.
Some business owners are concerned that because parking will be affected, revenue will too.
"We do count on foot traffic and people being able to park in front of the store, but I think it will look so much better when it's all done," said Andrea Froelicher of clothing resale store ACT II.
Glenn Bullock of DMI General Contracting said work would be done in piecemeal fashion so that access to businesses will remain and the impact will hopefully be reduced.
One of the city's largest events, Oktoberfest, won't be affected as construction will stop for the weekend event.

The ABCs Of Dry Cleaning
more prosIt's also a good idea to evaluate the time and cost benefit between bringing your clothes to the cleaner and washing them yourself. For example, it might take you two full hours to sew a simple button back onto your favorite jacket, whereas it would cost you $2 to have it done professionally. Get the point?
Dry cleaners are professionals. This said, they're aware of all the tricks of the trade and will help you get rid of even the most stubborn stains. They are also aware of different cleaning methods and know which ones actually work.
In addition to all these benefits, by dry-cleaning your clothes, you'll also support the steel industry and never run out of hangers!
minimize your tripsWhat else should you know about dry cleaners? For one, they're often used for money laundering. No seriously, in order to minimize your dry-cleaning bill, make sure that you take adequate care of your clothes.
Take the extra time to hang every piece of clothing immediately after you remove it. Treat all stains instantly with water or preferably a stain removal product. Finally, if you're wearing a shirt you really like while eating your mom's spaghetti, wear a bib as a preemptive strike.
save a few bucksTo find a good dry cleaner, ask people you know where they have their clothes dry-cleaned, and whether they're satisfied with the service. You should seek a dry cleaner that has quality machines, a competent staff, and competitive prices.
Try comparing prices and look for specials. Often, dry cleaners will offer two-for-one specials on selected items and on specific days. Saving a buck or two on each item can add up to substantial savings at the end of the year. But be logical: don't drive an extra 10 miles to save a quarter.
Now that you know the ins and outs of dry cleaning, be selective about what you bring to the dry cleaner and use these tips to reduce the size of your dry-cleaning bills. And if you see your friendly dry cleaner wearing your shirt at a restaurant... well, you know what to do.
Until next time, keep on stylin'.

So with about a half-minute left and the Heat up by two points, it was that mid-range jumper that sealed Miami's title. James delivered with 27.9 seconds left to make it a two-possession game. Not long afterward, he had the Larry O'Brien Trophy in one arm, the Finals MVP trophy in the other, ready for a well-deserved break from basketball.
"I want to be, if not the greatest, one of the greatest to ever play this game," James said. "And I will continue to work for that, and continue to put on this uniform and be the best I can be every night."
James has already put himself in that best-ever conversation.
"We all know his work ethic," said Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, who spent part of his first day as a two-time champion coach at Jim Larranaga's basketball camp at the University of Miami. "It's probably unique for a guy who has been the best in the game since he was in seventh grade. Usually you wouldn't have the type of work ethic that would match that type of talent."
Jordan won six titles, James only has two. But if that's the sole standard, then Jordan isn't even close either, considering Bill Russell won 11 rings in his Boston career. Russell was there for the Heat title clincher, served as part of the on-court trophy presentations, then retreated to a small room not far from the Miami locker room as players meandered in for one of the immediate perks of winning a title — a photo shoot with the trophy.
James posed for hundreds of photos during his time in there. Camera clicks were a constant sound for about 10 minutes when he was in the room. And before he left, he and Wade waved for Russell to come join them for some more snapshots.
"Get the legend up here," James shouted.
Russell walked to the front of the room as a few people, mostly Heat employees and family members, clapped. He shook hands with the Heat stars, then turned around to face the cameras and said something to James that was barely audible to those even a few feet away.
"You earned this one," Russell said.
James' grin became even broader, and camera shutters kept on whirring. Suddenly, that oft-mocked, oft-replayed "not two, not three, not four" answer James gave during the Heat celebration of their free agency coup in 2010 doesn't look like such a punch line anymore.
"I always felt that when he got up to five, six, seven that he was joking a little bit, but the media decided to take him very seriously," Heat managing general partner Micky Arison said. "I think right now he's real happy with two and next year he'll be worried about three."
James has played 10 seasons now. Including playoffs, his scoring average is 27.6, third-best in league history behind only Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain. Since the league began charting plus-minus (the point differential when a player is on the court), James' teams have outscored opponents by 3,861 points with him in regular-season and playoff games. Second-best on that list? Wade, at 2,301 points. That gap is simply huge.
With an average season next year, he'll move into the Top 25 in all-time regular-season scoring. He got more rebounds per game this season than ever before, shot the 3-pointer better than ever before, punctuating that by making five in Game 7 of the finals. And here's what might be truly frightening for opponents: For the sixth straight year, James' shooting percentage got better.
"Hopefully people will leave him alone a little more now," Heat forward Shane Battier said. "He takes a lot of heat, I think undeservedly. He's the best player on the planet. And hopefully now with two titles, he'll get more the benefit of the doubt. But, you know, he's the best. He's the best right now."
So are the Heat. And that can't be argued.
The Celtics, Lakers and Bulls are the only franchises to win three straight titles. That will be the challenge for the Heat next year, to take a great run and make it a truly elite run.
For now, though, James wants no part of that conversation. He's going to enjoy this one for a good long while.
"It's the ultimate," James said. "I don't want to think about next year right now, what our possibilities are next year. Got to take full advantage of this one. It's an unbelievable moment for our team."

I have a Cisco ASA5510 where we have to separate networks on two separate interfaces.
The networks should have nothing to do with each other except that network B needs to access a printer on network A.
Network A: 192.168.137.0/24
Printer: 192.168.137.20
Network B: 192.168.0.0/24
I've added an incoming rule from Network A to the Printer IP in the ASDM interface but clients can't print.
Our previous router was configured to let traffic through so the clients on Network B is already configured so it think it should work if traffic is allowed.
How do I let clients on Network B communicate with the printer?
Found the following inte the firewall log (thanks to resmon6):
%ASA-5-305013: Asymmetric NAT rules matched for forward and reverse flows; Connection protocol src interface_name:source_address/source_port [(idfw_user)] dst interface_name:dst_address/dst_port [(idfw_user)] denied due to NAT reverse path failure. An attempt to connect to a mapped host using its actual address was rejected.
I'm new to ASA so please bear with me, I guess i should add a NAT rule in the
