College Hockey:Thomas scores two as Norwich avenges ECAC East loss to Babson
NORTHFIELD, Vt. — After going winless in three attempts against Babson this season, including a 2-1 loss in the ECAC East championship game last weekend, Norwich finally broke through against the Beavers in the most important game, getting a 4-0 shutout Saturday night in a quarterfinal NCAA tournament game at Kreitzberg Arena.
Kyle Thomas scored twice and Chris Duszynski potted two assists to lead the Norwich offense. Chris Czarnota made 14 saves in earning his third shutout of the season.
Shane Gorman got Norwich on the board near the midway point of the first when he slid a backhand inside the left post past Babson goalie Zeke Testa.
Thomas got his first with just 21 seconds left in the first when he ripped a wrist shot five-hole.
Despite outshooting the Beavers, 17-3, in the second, the Cadets couldn't solve Testa again, who stoned Janke on a two-on-one rush with Tory Allan at 9:55.
Late in the third, Babson coach Jamie Rice pulled Testa for an extra skater with just under four minutes to go, but the Cadets added two more empty-net goals from Blake Forkey and Thomas to secure the win.
The Cadets will be making their fourth straight NCAA Division III Frozen Four appearance next weekend in facing SUNYAC champ Oswego, which beat Adrian in overtime. Though both Oswego and Norwich have played the last four Frozen Fours, this will be their first meeting. Faceoff is at 4 p.m. Friday.

When I open a file with root gedit I'd like to have the same setup as my normal gedit. So theme, preferences, and addons.
Can I set up some sym links in the right spot to achieve this?
I think this is quite impossible because gedit manages its settings through gconf and to sync these it would require a gnome-settings-deamon running for root.
You normally wouldn't synchronize normal gedit settings with root gedit user settings.
Root has its own settings, and the computer user has his own settings. The two are not the same. This is by design.
When you are operating as root, you are using the root user's profile, and when you're operating as yourself, you're using your personal profile. Each has its own permissions and ownership, tied to that particular account. They're not intended to be the same.

Fat injection to restore facial volume is a technique that is increasing in popularity. It offers a natural-appearing result, lasts a long time, and is safe. It is powerful filler, which helps to contour facial anatomy, modify scars, fill depressions created by liposuction, and rejuvenate the hands and face. Fat injections have been used to enhance the lips and reduce the appearance of facial aging. Fat injections can minimize wrinkles, acne scarring and restore a more youthful look. Dr. O'Mara is a facial plastic surgeon in Beaumont Texas, uses this natural solution to restore volume to the aging face and help to restore your youthful appearance.
Who can benefit from this procedure?
- Any individual in overall good health.
- A person who has a mild or moderate degree of facial aging.
- A person who has specific but realistic goals in mind to improve his or her appearance.
- A person who requires large volume enhancements needing deep tissue injection.
How is it performed?
- The fat is withdrawn from an area of the body with excess fat.
- The fat is purified in a centrifuge.
- The fat injected into areas needing volume augmentation. Several injections are usually placed during a single office visit.
What areas of the face benefit from fat injections?
Fat injections are commonly used to reshape the lips, to fill "bags" under the eyes, or to restore volume to the cheeks and chin.
What types of anesthesia are used for Fat Injections?
Both the donor and recipient sites are numbed with local anesthesia. Sedation can be used as well, depending on the patient's needs.
How much time does a treatment take?
The treatment usually takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the amount of fat to be injected. Time will be affected by any other procedures the patient is having completed during the same appointment.
Side effects of treatment:
You will notice quick outcomes from fat injection, but keep in mind that some of the increased volume may be due to swelling at the injection site. As the swelling subsides, you will see your actual results, usually within three to four months. Keep in mind that over time, your body may metabolize the injected fat, so volume may again decrease. Longer lasting results can be achieved with cosmetic surgery.
What are the risks of fat transfer?
Fat transfers to the face have negligible risk. A large fat transfer, like one to augment the buttocks, carries much higher risk. To minimize this, look for a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery who can analyze your health and counsel you about risk factors and expected outcomes.
How much does a fat transfer procedure cost?
The cost of fat transfer to the face varies across the country, but a good rule of thumb is $1500 to $4000, depending on the amount of fat that is harvested and transferred.

Are there any objective wavefunction collapse theories which are local and forbid superluminal signalling? GRW is nonrelativistic and nonlocal.
Are there any objective wavefunction collapse theories which are local and forbid superluminal signalling?
No, and there cannot be. Imagine entangling two particles, sending one of them off to a colleague on Mars, and then measuring them both at almost the same time (according to Earth's reference frame, for the sake of argument). An objective collapse theory would say that whoever measures their particle first "collapses" the joint wavefunction of the two particles, putting the other person's particle into a definite state, which they then measure. Whatever speed the wavefunction collapse "propagates" at, it must be fast enough to reach the other experimenter before she makes her measurement. Since the two measurements are at a space-like separation, this speed has to be faster than light, there just isn't any way around it.
Note that in any objective collapse theory, the state that the second particle ends up in has to depend on the action taken by the first experimenter, otherwise it's impossible to explain the results of entanglement experiments. This means that different interpretations of what "measurement" is, and what causes the "collapse" cannot change the conclusion that the "collapse" has to happen superluminally.

Savings of: $8.05 (18% off)
Sorry, this product is no longer in stock.
WOW! What a difference!
Posted by Reviewer2835186 on Feb 05, 2009
I am 7 months pregnant and have been miserably tired, foggy-headed, weak and irritable my entire pregnancy, often to the point of crying from mental and physical exhaustion. (Regardless of how much sleep I got at night.) This is very unlike me and I got so sick of people (including health care professionals) telling me that that was part of pregnancy, that every pregnancy is different and that having a toddler is what is probably making me feel that way. I knew something wasn't right, so I asked to have my iron levels checked since it has been an issue in the past. Low and behold, my iron levels were low. After doing a lot of research, I came across Floradix Iron and Herbs and have been taking it for about 3-4 weeks. The first two weeks I felt somewhat better, but WOW -- Last week, all of a sudden I was back to my normal, happy, high-energy self and have felt that way since! I still need nap when my son does, but it's nothing like it was before when I would sleep for three hours and still not feel any better. My doctor is supposed to recheck my iron levels next week to see where they are at after taking Floradix for almost a month. Can't wait to see the results! All I know is that things have miraculously turned around for me in a matter of a month and I doubt it's a coincidence. Great price and fast delivery from iherb.com, too! UPDATE: In less than a month, my iron level went up 33 points! (Or whatever they use to measure it!)
Floradix Iron Plus Herbs
Posted by Reviewer1111158 on Jul 29, 2008
Fantastic product! I was constantly tired because of low iron for about two years ... I guess at my age (46) because of heavy monthly flow ... but also have suffered my whole life from chronic constipation so I wasn't keen on taking iron supplements. My niece who is a midwife recommended Floradix as it is non-constipating, and after taking it for about two weeks ... it was like a light came on! I could walk up over the stairs at work in the morning with no trouble, whereas before I had to drag myself up. If anything, my constipation problem has lessened since I started taking Floradix. I highly recommend it and have gotten at least a half dozen other women to start using it. I order it online at iherb.com, about six or so bottles at a time, and it's delivered right to my home in about two days! By doing this I save about $15 per bottle compared to what I pay for it in health stores here in Newfoundland. Jeanette Martin Newfoundland, Canada
Good Iron without the side effects
Posted by DenaerisTargaryen on Jul 08, 2013
If you are pregnant and constipated, or, if you can not tolerate other irons easily, this iron is highly recommended. It is very easy on the stomach and tastes really good. This iron does NOT cause any constipation and does not give you an upset stomach.
I really love this stuff!!
Posted by Reviewer1599452 on Jul 01, 2008
None of the side effects of iron pills and my iron levels are much more stable when I use liquid iron. My nails are stronger, I don't bruise as easily, my energy is way up and I stay energized far longer.
Great for Pregnant Women
Posted by Reviewer3187313 on Jul 07, 2008
I became enimic during my pregnancy and started taking this supplement. The flavor didn't bother me at all, almost like a fruit juice blend and it did not make me constipated...which are two very important factors when you're pregnant!! I am going to continue taking it since I will breastfeeding.

Wonderful product, that I can't live without. I'm slightly anemic, and was told by my doctor that I need to take iron pills; however, I don't do pills. So, I tried this product and it has given me awesome results with not only raising my iron, but my energy as well. And then to top it off - it cures my cramps! I was suffering from extremely painful cramps that caused me to vomit for almost an entire day and left me practically bedridden and unable to go about my day as usual. After taking this product for 2 months and allowing it to build up I went through my menstral cycle without any pain at all. Needless to say, I was jumping for joy. Try it! It taste good too. When I first tried it, it reminded me of prune juice, lol.
The price is worth it.

In the beginning I did not like the taste, but it is absorbed so easily, I have no cramps and constipation. I love it...it is expensive but worth every penny
Great iron supplement

I am chronically anemic, and now pregnant and needing the extra iron. Iron pills recommended by my doc are constipating and ineffective. This product works well and doesn't cause any problems. It even tastes okay. I will continue to use it and recommend it to friends.

Wonderful finding this I've had gastric bypass surgery 5 years ago and have had to have 1 IV iron infusion. My last blood work came back looking wonderful all in normal values. I noticed an improvement in my energy level 3 days after starting this product. I'm hopeful that I will continue feeling well and that my Hgb and ferritin levels will also remain normal. I've told others of this great product and hope they also get the GREAT results that I've had.

I needed a boost and remembered taking Floradix in the past. I checked my local Health Food Store but found the price was almost doubled what I paid for at iHerb. I will continue to purchase here. p.s. My son in law is a Physician and he and my daughter both take Floridix with iron and love it! Deborah in TN

Sony settles with PS3 jailbreak hacker Geohot
Battered by Anonymous, Sony ends litigation with George Hotz
IN A JOINT STATEMENT, Sony and hacker George Hotz have announced an end to their legal dustup, and presumably also an end to the Anonymous attacks against Sony.
The two parties took to the web, fittingly since in recent weeks Sony has struggled with its online presence, to announce that it has reached an accord.
"Sony is glad to put this litigation behind us," said Riley Russell, general counsel for Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA). "Our motivation for bringing this litigation was to protect our intellectual property and our consumers. We believe this settlement and the permanent injunction achieve this goal."
"It was never my intention to cause any users trouble or to make piracy easier," said Geohot, or George Hotz to his mum. "I'm happy to have the litigation behind me."
Having the litigation behind him means removing any links to his workaround to Sony security systems from forum posts. Hotz has agreed to this, but has denied any wrongdoing.
One thing that Sony will be wanting to put behind it is the barrage of attention that it got, and continues to get from hacktivist group Anonymous.
This month has seen the powerful loosely linked group take down the firm's websites and game network, while this week it plans to advance on its physical stores and disrupt business there.
Although Hotz was not involved in the web attacks, according to the joint statement Sony might still ask him if he won't mind asking his new friends to lay off. µ

Moviegoers salutes a patriotic super-soldier at the box office this weekend, as Captain America: The Winter Soldier broke a April record with $96.2 million.
Chris Evans suits back up as Steve Rogers, who wakes up after being a "Cap-sicle" for over 70 years following his battle with the Red Skull.
Like fellow Avenger Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Cap is now an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., the covert spy organization directed by Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), the creator of the Avengers Initiative: assembling Cap, Natasha, Clint Barton/Hawkeye, Tony Stark/Iron Man, Thor, and Bruce Banner/the Hulk to become "Earth's Mightiest Heroes" against Loki (Tom Hiddleston) in New York City two years ago.
The Winter Soldier finds Cap and Natasha teaming up with Sam Wilson/the Falcon (Anthony Mackie) to take on a Russian assassin with ties to Cap's past.
And more good news: Deadline confirms that Marvel's First Avenger will take on DC Comics' Man of Steel and the Dark Knight, as Captain America 3 will go up against Batman vs. Superman with Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck; this superhero box office battle begins on May 6, 2016.

On Spring Break this week, I've been invited down to DC for a day or two where, besides staying in a swanky Jetson-style hotel, I'm looking forward to visiting a few galleries at Logan Circle and stopping by the National Gallery of Art to see the permanent Mel Bochner installation and the Philip Guston show. In the Washington Post Paul Richard takes four excruciating pages to explain why Guston's paintings are important to the history of art. "Usually the National Gallery presents 20th-century New York paintings unlike Guston's, paintings that are monuments of dignity. Barnett Newman's solemn 'Stations of the Cross,' Mark Rothko's clouds, Jackson Pollock's mists are visions as august, decorous and stately as the National Gallery itself. No grinning allowed. Guston's paintings of hairy knees and cigarette butts are another kettle of fish....
"'There is nothing to do now but paint my life,' Guston wrote in 1972. 'My dreams, surroundings, predicament, desperation . . .' Not much of a life. One of Guston's oils is called 'Painting, Smoking, Eating' (1973), which pretty much sums it up. In 'Midnight Pass Road' (1975) he seems to be stuck at his studio table. What does he see? Not much: the green lampshade, a coffee cup, a sagging flower, a stretched canvas (waiting to be painted), a ghostly thought of his wife (distressed, of course, her hand over her eyes), a triangle, a ruler, his watch. Time passes. Nothing happens.
"'The sense of being thrust into a scurfy internalized world is almost unbearable,' wrote scholar Robert Hughes. 'Guston may have been the first painter to paint that frame of mind so well known to artists and writers: slothful regression. You pee in the sink. You put out your cigarette in the coffee cup.' Guston may have been the first artist to depict the place, but Herman Melville had been there, and so had W.B. Yeats. In 1939, at the end of his life, he had also lost what had worked so well before. He couldn't go up and out. Guston couldn't, either.
"Guston, who smoked three packs a day, died of a heart attack at 66. You might expect his pictures, the late ones in the tower, would turn out to be downers. They're not, of course, they're lifters. That's why they're art. Courage shines out of them. Light shines out of them. And, right from the core of all that sad, dim wreckage, so does a saving nutty glee. 'If someone bursts out laughing in front of my painting,' he wrote, 'that is exactly what I want.'" Read more."In the Tower: Philip Guston," National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC. Through Sept. 13.

I want to set up a MySQL database that is easy to scale. Traditional, off-cloud scaling means (1) upgrading the hardware, (2) sharding, or (3) replicating.
Option 1 is easy but is limited. Option 2 (I hear) is very complicated, and I don't want to waste limited manpower on maintenance/administration. Option 3 appears suitable only for high-read, low-write cases, which won't fit my use case, and there are issues with consistency as well.
I am contemplating setting up a private OpenStack cloud and deploying a VM that hosts the database. It would be easy to scale vertically (just assign more vCPU, vRAM, HDD), and I can add more physical nodes to the cloud as needed. Then, I would just have a single, huge MySQL instance on the cloud.
My questions:
1) Does this make practical sense? I don't mind a small overhead hit (I'd rather spend more on hardware than on maintenance/administration), but if the overhead is too large it may not make sense.
2) How scalable would this solution be? Can I just keep adding physical nodes to the cloud and scaling up the vCPUs, vRAM to arbitrarily high amounts?
The application is not very demanding on latency. I just need an easy-to-scale solution.

How many times have you misplaced an object and spent several minutes looking for it, only to discover it was in clear view on the table right in front of you?
We all seem to have the ability to see without really seeing. The old saying, "I can't see the forest for the trees," is based on this human condition. When we see something often enough, we begin to discount the information coming into our brains. We find we're no longer able to accurately view our world.
One of the great things about taking a long vacation is the fresh perspective that it gives us when we return to work. We truly see things as they really are, providing we take the time to look.
But too often, we bury ourselves under the mountain of paperwork that accumulated while we were gone and thereby waste this most valuable resource.
This isn't the only time when our ability to see is enhanced.
During the past year, some members of my management staff have suffered health problems that have caused them to miss extended periods of time from work. Their individual absences from the laundry have created unique opportunities to effectively judge their contributions to the department. They've also provided opportunities for other management team members to grow by stepping forward and helping to pick up the slack.
These changes in the normal operation of the laundry create opportunities for all management team members to view the operation in a different way. It gives them the chance to see details that were lost in the clutter of daily activities.
Companies often hire operational consultants because of their ability to accurately see the entire laundry operation. Their fresh perspective is often all that's needed to identify ways to improve production. A consultant's ability to see the operation from several different angles and their willingness to question the status quo are their greatest assets.
So why should we be concerned about how we see our operation?
I eventually found the mouse for the laptop that I unpacked and placed on the table. It only took me a couple of minutes of looking in the wrong place before it reappeared right where I'd left it. The importance of understanding this principle is in the realization that we need to take advantage of those brief moments when our ability to see clearly is at its peak.
When we come back from a vacation of two weeks or more, we need to make sure that we schedule our first couple of days to work in the laundry. This new perspective is far too valuable to spend it in meetings or catching up on paperwork. Carry a notebook with you, because you'll see things much differently during those days. Look for opportunities for improvement and write them down.
The ability to see things as they really are and not as we expect to see them is so valuable. By taking advantage of these opportunities, we'll find ways to continuously improve our operations.
Some Time Away Enhances Ability to 'See the Forest'
How many times have you misplaced an object and spent several minutes looking for it, only to discover it was in clear view on the table right in front of you?

Miami Dolphins receiver Roberto Wallace not concerned about competition
This Miami Dolphins regime has a history of finding undrafted rookie receivers like Miles Austin and Davone Bess and turning them into household names.
Many inside the Dolphins organization feel like Roberto Wallace's blend of size and speed will make him the next former unknown to establish a decent NFL career.
Wallace, who came on the Kup & Kelly show on Saturday to talk about his offseason goals and training (LISTEN HERE), came out of nowhere last season. He made the 53-man roster as an undrafted rookie, beating out 2009 third-round pick Patrick Turner for his spot. His special team contributions had Wallace on the game day roster for most of the season.
But right when this San Diego State produce was beginning to make strides, getting included in the game plans, having plays called for him, Wallace suffered a knee injury that began to limit his forward progress.
Wallace said his knee is fine now, and his goal is to pick up where he left off, learning to use his 6-foot-4, 225 pounds frame and sub 4.5 speed to continually threaten opposing secondaries.
Wallace, who contributed six passes for 62 yards last season, isn't training with the Davie contingent of Dolphins players working out on their own at Nova Southeastern. He's actually been grinding with Bess and the personal trainer Bess relocated from Hawaii to specifically tailor an offseason program for the receivers.
But Wallace said he has hooked up with Chad Henne, whom he admits knows new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll's offense "pretty well" courtesy of his illegal pre lockout cram session.
However, Wallace said the lockout needs to end for the entire offense to "get up to speed."
"Guys aren't getting together like they should be," Wallace told the Kup & Kelly show.
In fairness, it's hard to do that when everyone has their own offseason goals to accomplish during a training program.
As for his own goals, Wallace said he's trying to keep the mindset he had as a hungry, undrafted rookie who was viewed as a long shot to make the 53-man roster.
"I need to be a little more consistent and get in my playbook a lot more. [I want to] improve on route running and the little details," said Wallace, who is the third Panamanian to ever play in the NFL. "You have to stay hungry. I have to be even hungrier. I have to prove myself again to just maintain, get better to move ahead… You got to stay hungry, and if you don't the heat is definitely going to beat you….I've always had that hunger, that drive."
Wallace said he believes the pieces the Dolphins' front office added to the roster during the draft will help the team in 2011. He views Mike Pouncey as an immediate contributor who will help the offensive line thrive.
"I trust what they did. A lot of the moves they made were necessary," Wallace said of the Dolphins' draft. "I know they got a receiver (Edmond Gates), but they did need some speed. They did what was necessary for the betterment of the team."
Gates, a speedster from Abilene Christian the Dolphins selected in the fourth-round, should be pushing Wallace and Marlon Moore for playing time, if not a roster spot this training camp, but that doesn't scare Wallace.
"There's always going to be a challenge regardless of who is there, and who is not. This is the NFL. There's always going to be competition," Wallace said. "Whether they drafted a receiver or not I would have approached it the same way, go in there and compete, regardless of who is there, or who is not….It's going to add competition, yes, but competition was going to be [there] anyways."
To hear about Wallace's trips back to Panama, his offseason job as a model, and his views on Henne you've got to listen to the interview.

Never being a Pac-Man player, myself, Donkey Kong was my first favorite coin-op game. Ever since, I have always enjoyed platform games like Donkey Kong. If you like platform games, then Toy Bizarre should fit you well.
You play the night watchman at a toy factory. At night, the toys come alive and are out to get you and take over the factory. You run around the platform, jumping from level to level, to either pop the balloons that the toys are generated from, or to avoid the toys, trying to jump over them to stop them.

Katherine Thayer received a sweet surprise this Valentine's Day.
It wasn't roses or chocolates or stuffed teddy bears.
It was the birth of baby Noah. One week early. On the side of Interstate 205.
"It gets funnier and funnier every time we tell it," said Alina Palmer, Katherine's midwife.
Katherine awoke to contractions at 3:30 a.m. on Valentine's Day. Her husband, Jeff, helped keep Katherine calm as she worked through the contractions for the next few hours. Since she wasn't showing any other signs of labor, they didn't head to the hospital.
At about 8:30 a.m., the contractions got more frequent but were still eight to 10 minutes apart. After 30 minutes of contractions, Palmer suggested the couple head to the hospital for an evaluation.
So the Gresham, Ore., couple loaded their daughter and nephew, both 2 years old, into the backseat of their 2006 Toyota Corolla and headed to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center, where Jeff works as an imaging assistant.
By the time they reached the Troutdale exit on Interstate 84, Katherine's water broke.
A few miles later, Katherine told her husband she couldn't wait any longer.
"She said she feels like she has to push," Jeff said. "Panic sets in."
Throughout the morning, Jeff was on his cellphone updating Palmer, who was headed to the hospital from her home in Clackamas, and his mother, Judy Thayer, who was en route from the St. Johns neighborhood.
When Katherine started pushing, Palmer told Jeff it was time to pull the car over to the side of the road. The couple met their midwife and Judy alongside I-205, near the Sandy Boulevard exit.
Three minutes later, at 9:32 a.m., baby Noah was born as cars whizzed by on the interstate.
"It was an exciting birth," said Palmer, who stood outside of the small car, in the rain, to help Katherine deliver the baby.
Firefighters and paramedics arrived a few minutes later to assist. But, since Noah had already arrived, Palmer climbed into the car and they continued their trip to the hospital in the Corolla.
Katherine and baby Noah were given a clean bill of health, despite the roadside delivery.
But the delivery after only two hours of active labor caught everyone off guard.
"It was my plan to have a hospital birth with an epidural," Katherine said. "I didn't think he'd come that fast."
Katherine and Jeff's first child, Lillie, took her time entering the world. Katherine was in labor for 12 hours.
"In hindsight, we probably would have left the house a little earlier, had we had other signs (of labor)," Jeff said.
Katherine and Jeff said their friends and family members have been skeptical of their interstate delivery story — one friend even required a chat with Palmer before she believed the duo.
But the couple is used to the reactions of disbelief. Two-year-old Lillie was born on April Fool's Day.
"It was very fitting to have it happen (on Valentine's Day)," Jeff said.

With the explosive conclusion to Iron Man 3 and the lack of information about any sequels, it was beginning to look as if we'd heard the last of Paul Bettany as Tony Stark's helpful A.I., JARVIS. Some rumors, including a good deal of speculation around our own office water cooler, have had JARVIS somehow playing a role in the creation of Ultron in The Avengers sequel, and now it looks like the two characters will be indeed be linked.
A report by by Baz Bamigboye over at the Daily Mail noted that Bettany was seen at Marvel's London studios trying on costumes that resembled Vision, but Variety has gone ahead and confirmed him for Avengers: Age of Ultron. Vision was originally a weapon created by the evil android Ultron (James Spader), but eventually becomes a hero and one of the core members of the team. He even begins a romantic relationship with the Scarlet Witch, to be played by Elizabeth Olsen.
So this would seem to lend credence to the idea of Ultron being a Stark creation, since he was created by Hank Pym in the comics and he won't be introduced until Edgar Wright's Ant-Man some weeks later.
Not only does Bettany get an expanded role that isn't just a digitized voice, but it's likely he'll be a crucial part of The Avengers franchise for a long time. Avengers: Age of Ultron opens May 1st 2015.

Autism awareness ribbon,Colorful puzzle pieces, Download by Beverly & Pack on flickr.com
When dealt the card of autism in one's life, it is often difficult to find information and support right when one needs it. Those living in Iowa or who have loved-ones who live in Iowa, rest assured that there is support out there.
According to the 2008 State Autism Profile, there were 1,192 children between the ages of 3 and 21 with autism in Iowa in 2007, up from 665 in 2000. There does exist a 13-member Iowa Autism Council whose purpose is to study the needs of children and adults with autism and to advise the state on a range of support services. The Iowa Department of Education hosts on their website information about the Iowa Autism Council including meeting agenda and dates.
In addition to the Iowa Autism Council, there are a number of respected organizations that support persons with autism and their families right in Iowa. One is the Iowa Protection and Advocacy Services, Inc. This organization works to "protect and advocate for the human and legal rights that ensure individuals with disabilities and/or mental illness a free, appropriate, public education, employment opportunities, and residence or treatment in the least restrictive environment or method and for freedom from stigma." This organization hosts a number of events including participation in RAGBRAI.
For those looking ahead to the warm summer months, Camp Albrecht Acres is a well-known camp for person's with disabilities in Sherrill, IA. There are week-long and weekend camp schedules for both adults and children. Throughout the year Albrecht Acres also organizes events and fundraisers. Coming up is a Trivia Night, a Consignment Auction, and much more fun!
Be it educational, legal, medical, or recreational support - Iowa's got it covered!

tech test could take 1-2 weeks

They say it will take 1-2 weeks for the tech test. Assume things take longer than expected like they always do so 2-3 weeks.
After that they start letting in some of the PS1 vets for closed beta. Stability issues start getting picked up and there is more delay. Another few weeks go by. Eventually in 1.5-2 months most of the PS1 vets are in, but the major issues with exploits and balancing need to get addressed and Jimmy Whisenhunt is still giving them changes to how all the weapons handle as well which further alters the balance of items.
At around the 3-3.5 month mark (early-mid November) they start letting in all the people with other beta keys (eg. I might get in with my Twitter key then). We get about 2-3 more weeks of closed beta and they decide to move to open beta. The characters get wiped, the cash shop opens, and anyone can get in to play. The NDA is lifted so reviews start coming out everywhere, and the advertising push kicks in. They run open beta for another month and release the game before Christmas.
In late November I get married and take off until mid January anyway, so at best I figure am looking at a few weeks of closed beta and missing the launch.
23 years of FPS experience. That doesnt make me feel old. P4wning kids that I know have been alive for less time than I have been gaming - that makes me feel old.

The AFC South has plenty to prove in the quarterback department. If it wasn't for Andrew Luck, this could be one of the worst quarterback divisions in the history of the NFL. That's why 2014 will be interesting in a division that is the Indianapolis Colts' to lose.
Ranking the AFC North Quarterbacks.
Ryan Fitzpatrick has changed locations from Tennessee to Houston. He's expected to be the starter week one. With a new coach, new quarterbacks and No.1 overall pick Jadeveon Clowney, Ryan Fitzpatrick will be looked upon to lead Houston back to the playoffs.
Ranking the AFC East Quarterbacks.
Chad Henne is quietly trying to turn around the Jacksonville Jaguars. The veteran QB has a real chance to hold off Blake Bortles as long as Jacksonville keeps winning. If Jacksonville gets off to a slow start, it's likely that Chad Henne will be benched in favor of the rookie.
Geno Smith is ready to be a Top 5 NFL quarterback in 2014.
Jake Locker is also coming back to a potentially volatile situation. He only played in seven games last season, as injuries curtailed his third season. If Locker is able to stay on the field, Tennessee will have no problems going in another direction, but Jake should be the go to guy week one.
Andrew Luck has solidified himself as a top notch quarterback in the NFL. Hands down, he is the man in the AFC South. The battle for the other three spots could be up for grabs, but reality will set in once the real season starts.
Here are the AFC South Quarterback rankings.
4. Jake Locker- Tennessee Titans: In three seasons, Jake Locker hasn't played more than 11 games in a single year. Locker's record as a starter is (8-10). He only has 22 touchdown passes and 15 interceptions. Jake Locker did reach the 60.7% completion percentage in 2013. This is a make or break year for Jake Locker. He must show the ability to stay healthy and produce for a winning team.
3. Chad Henne- Jacksonville Jaguars: Chad Henne started 13 of the 15 games that he played in 2013. Although Jacksonville was the worst team for a large portion of the NFL season, Henne did lead the Jaguars to four wins. Chad Henne completed 60.6% percent of his passes, which was above his career average of 59.5%. However, Henne threw 13 touchdown passes and 14 interceptions. Chad Henne could be a sleeper to take this Jacksonville team to a playoff berth in 2014.
2. Ryan Fitzpatrick- Houston Texans: Ryan Fitzpatrick is the oldest quarterback in the AFC South and he is looking to revived the Houston Texans' playoff hopes after a dismal 2013 season. In nine starts for the Titans, Fitzpatrick connected on 14 touchdowns and 12 interceptions, while completing 62% of his passes. He will be the starter for Houston unless the season goes down the drain.
1. Andrew Luck- Indianapolis Colts: In two seasons, Andrew Luck has started all 32 games, and he has taken the Colts to the playoffs both times. At times, Andrew Luck dominated the competition. He's thrown for 23 touchdowns both seasons, while cutting his interceptions in half from 18 to nine. Andrew Luck also completed 60.2% of his passes in 2013. The sky really is the limit and not only should the Colts win the AFC South, they should be one of the three favorites in the whole AFC.

After recovering my system from a malware attack, I restored all of my previous settings, run malware/virus scans, etc. Everything appears to be back to normal, except:
E:\ directory tree does not display contents, though data is present when the disk properties are examined. I was able to recover most of the data in the tree using recuva, though not all of it.
If I run a microsoft security essentials scan on the E: drive all of the old files and data and it's file tree are visible and scannable. And when I try to copy the recovered data back to it's original location, windows tells me that all the data already exists in that location and asks if I would like to replace it.
This is very confusing because it seems that windows is aware of and able to view all of the data on the hard drive, but it does not show the presence of any files in the explorer.
Is there anything that can be done to restore the file tree?

Matt Vautour of the Daily Hampshire Gazette has an in-depth piece looking at the upcoming year with Athletic Director John McCutcheon and several major projects being undertaken by the UMass Athletic Department.
Fall officially arrived for John McCutcheon last week as he had the Game Tracker for the University of Massachusetts women's soccer team's 2-1 win over New Hampshire open on his computer as he worked in his office.
"It got my blood flowing a little bit," McCutcheon said.
After a tough year for the department in 2010-11, the University of Massachusetts athletic director was glad to have 2011-12 under way.
"I can't wait. I think we have improved. We want to see the effects of that on the court, on the field and on the ice. I think the coaches are excited about it, too," he said. "A lot of things probably didn't go the way they wanted it to last year and they probably have a bad taste in their mouths and they can't wait to get it out of there. I think everybody is looking forward to getting this year started."

Campus Lab Software Requests
The following email notice was sent to Deans, Department Chairs on May 2, and Instructors earlier this week, since they are the primary users of the GCA Teaching Labs. However, we realize other units do need and use the labs, so now it is your turn. Please coordinate with your unit so we only get one response per department/unit. Thank you.
Laura Knaapen - Director of Academic Computing
Academic Computing is looking for feedback on the configuration of the General Computer Access (GCA) lab computers to best suit our teaching needs and to foster the learning for our students. Each year, we ask you to review the list of application software we provide in the GCA labs. You can find the current list online at this link.
Please share this information with your new and current faculty and instructional staff so they can provide feedback on what software is still needed. If there is software that you no longer need, we would appreciate hearing from you to remove the software and reduce the large number of applications we are attempting to provide.
Please keep in mind that discipline-specific software that is not requested to continue or be upgraded in the labs will be removed. It is important that you and your faculty/staff review your software needs for the GCA Labs for Fall 2014 AND Spring 2015 and complete the Lab and Classroom Software Request Form by Wednesday May 28st, 2013.
Academic Computing is requiring that all software requests be submitted as soon as possible to cut down on maintenance times during the semester. The software requests will be tested and a final list will be sent out by Monday June 23st, 2014. Late requests will be added to the labs during the next available break period.
Academic Computing asks that you do not assume that your software will be included because it has in previous years. We also ask that you provide your requests for both Fall 2014 and Spring 2015.
If you have any questions or are having difficulty with the Google Form, please feel free to contact me, Laura Knaapen at x2368 or by email (email@example.com).

Henry Cow & Nelly Furtado (a natural combo)
For some reason I've been listening pretty nonstop to Henry Cow's Concerts the past couple days (which means there will probably be a review coming soon — that it hasn't yet been reviewed on this site is somewhat baffling). A favorite moment that just passed me by: some 11 minutes into the fabulous take of "Ruins," Fred Frith's ebullient guitar solo slowly stutters into the background, as if pushed backstage by Dagmar Krause as she begins singing wordlessly, imploringly. This stuff is sublime.
And now, since I know readers of this website are probably big fans of modern pop music:
Incongruously, the album that kept me awake on a recent long drive was something rather different — Nelly Furtado's new one, Loose. I suppose this isn't all that new anymore. In any case, it's quite fascinating: the first few songs are pure club fodder, absolutely stinking of Timbaland (that sounds rather negative but isn't meant to be), with all the lyrical nuance you would expect from songs called "Maneater" and "Promiscuous." (Though the Steve Nash namedropping is kind of cute, or something. Hey, look! A fellow famous Canadian!) But then we get into some totally different stuff, like "No Hay Igual," which combines your typical queasy Timbaland synth line with Latin percussion and insistently chanted vocals in Spanish. It's actually pretty edgy stuff. This is followed by a song "featuring Juanes" that sounds more like a Juanes song than it does a Nelly Furtado song. And then, a little later, we get something that would totally be at home on a Kylie Minogue album: "Do It" is pure Euro dance-pop. Then there's "In God's Hands" which sounds more like Mandy Moore than anything else. Finally, there's the triumphant closing song, an absolutely gorgeous slice of melancholy that is maybe the best pop ballad I have ever heard.
What is one to make of this? Furtado kind of carved out an identity for herself over her first two albums, but now she seems either totally directionless, or brilliantly unhinged, or maybe just a bit plagiaristic (even aside from the whole "Do It" controversy with Timbaland). Not only does Loose not sound anything like Whoa, Nelly! or Folklore, it also sounds nothing like itself, having absolutely no consistent sound. This isn't necessarily so weird for some artists, but for a pure pop artist, it's rather more surprising. I still haven't decided if it's a good thing or not. Or, for that matter, whether this album is any good or not.

It's easy to just focus on Warner given the last few years.
While Matt Leinart has floundered with internet drinking photos, poor displays of prowess in his limited game action and perceived general lack of discipline, Kurt Warner keeps putting up great numbers.
At least that's what it all looks like at first blush.
Warner certainly deserves the accolades for his 2008 season.
His 4,582 yards were his second highest total ever (second to his 4,830 in 2001) and his 30 touchdowns marked his third highest total. He also finished the season, something he hasn't done as a starter in – well, let's just say 'in some time'.
That's you're first red flag though. Call it luck, point to vastly improved offensive line play, say he got cybernetic implants – whatever the reason, he made it through the whole season without missing a game.
Never forget though, in his 11 year old career, he has played a whole season as a starter just three times.
Sure, discount 1998 when he wasn't a starter or 2004 when Eli Manning stole his job. But historically, the man cannot stay healthy and at 38, isn't getting more durable with age.
There is a fair chance he will get banged up.
Then why, you may ask, do I have him as a top quarterback?
Well, simply put he's the starter on a dynamic pass-driven team with two of the best wide receivers in the game at his command. And no, I don't expect Boldin to be traded at this point. Even if he was, Steve Breaston could step in very ably as well.
Even when he doesn't play every game ‑ like in 2007‑ he still put good enough numbers up to be a top 10 quarterback. The weapons at his disposal are just too good and if the blocking keeps up the sky could be the limit.
Which brings us to Matt Leinart who has to make some sort of showing in this, his fifth year in the league.
He hasn't done a whole heck of a lot thus far.
Leinart has athletic ability and I believe he has the general skill-set to succeed in the NFL, though after several years of a whole lot of nothing, I doubt he'll ever reach an elite level.
As much as anything else, his head has gotten in his way. He was reportedly focused more during last season as well as this off-season but frankly I'll believe it pays off when I see it pay off.
Still, since Warner has had issues with injuries in the past and the offensive weapons are outstanding, you have to consider Leinart. Given the value he could have, it's worth thinking about snagging him as a security blanket for Warner later in your draft.
However until you see Leinart have even a moderate version, don't grab him early expecting him to easily replicate Warner's numbers if the old man can't finish.
