Ireland to legalize abortion, after death of Savita Halappanavar
Yukio Strachan
Dec 18, 2012 in
In a move that's expected to anger the Roman Catholic Church, Ireland has decided to legalize abortions in cases where the mother's life is at risk; coming weeks after the death of Savita Halappanavar who died after being refused an abortion.
It's criminal for a doctor in Ireland to perform an abortion unless it occurs as the result of a medical intervention performed to save the life of the mother.
However, the government had not enacted legislation to give certainty to doctors as to when terminations could be carried out and under what circumstances without breaking the law.
Tuesday, that all changed when Ireland's government made the decision to introduce legislation to allow abortion where there is a risk to the life of the mother, including the threat of suicide. The government also intends to decriminalize abortion in these circumstances.
Speaking after a Cabinet meeting Tuesday, James Reilly, the Irish health minister, said he was very conscious of the sensitivities around the issue.
"I know that most people have personal views on this matter. However, the Government is committed to ensuring that the safety of pregnant women in Ireland is maintained and strengthened," Dr Reilly said, according to the
Irish Examiner
"We must fulfill our duty of care towards them. For that purpose, we will clarify in legislation and regulation what is available by way of treatment to a woman when a pregnancy gives rise to a threat to a woman's life. We will also clarify what is legal for the professionals who must provide that care while at all times taking full account of the equal right to life of the unborn child."
The death of Savita Halappanavar
The move comes seven weeks after the death of Savita Halappanavar. Halappanavar, a 31-year old dentist originally from India, was 17 weeks pregnant when she developed back pain and tests revealed that she would lose her baby.
Despite her repeated pleas and constant pain over three days, doctors refused to perform a termination as they could still hear the fetus heartbeat and, according to reports, told her: "
This is a Catholic country
Halappanavar's condition rapidly deteriorated and she died after
developing septicemia
four days after the death of her baby. Leaving her husband and family heartbroken and outraged.
They weren't alone. The case prompted
public outcry
around the globe. Ireland's pro-choice movement branded her death "an outrage" and called for the Irish government to legalize abortion.
Now the new legislation will be drafted to comply with a landmark ruling in the European Court of Human Rights two years ago and a 1992 Irish Supreme Court decision in the "X case".
The Irish ruling 20 years ago overturned a 1861 injunction preventing a 14-year girl, who had been raped and was suicidal because she could not get a legal abortion, from traveling to Britain to have her pregnancy terminated.
She later had a miscarriage. Her case did not lead to legal reform, but to confusion over when abortion was allowed in Ireland.
Abortion 'would not save a single life'
The proposed legislation to decriminalize abortion is expected to stoke furious debate in Ireland, which remains a staunchly Roman Catholic country.
There was no immediate reaction from members of the Irish bishops' conference, the National Catholic Reporter
. However, the Iona Institute, a religious think-tank, said including the threat of suicide as grounds for abortion in the legislation "would not save a single life".
"Irish law already allows the ending of a pregnancy when there is no other choice and there is a clear threat to the life of the mother," said Maria Steen, the institute's spokesman.
"A decision to include a threat of suicide as a ground for abortion would also be wrong in principle because it would authorize for the first time ever the deliberate and direct destruction of unborn human life in Ireland."
And Ronan Mullen, an independent Irish senator, accused the government of "double think" for condemning the deaths of children in the Sandy Hook shooting while showing "no concern for unborn children".
"I find it entirely appropriate that we would join in solidarity with the people, with the children who died in Connecticut," he said, the
reported. "Let's be sincere about that. And let's not slip into a double-think either, however, where we forget a whole category of children in our own country."
In November Bishop William Murphy of Kerry warned that experience has shown that "if abortion is introduced, even on a very limited basis, it becomes widespread."
That's exactly what the Irish Council for Civil Liberties hopes for. "There is no good reason why the government should limit itself to the minimum action required to implement this one judgment," said Mark Kelly, the ICCL's director.
Pro-choice groups have also called for a referendum to repeal the 8th Amendment to the Constitution, which gives the unborn an equal right to life as the mother.
Choice Ireland spokeswoman Stephanie Lord said it was "inhumane" that the amendment has not been repealed before now, the
Irish Times
"There are 4,500 women that travel overseas for abortion services every year, and many more that order pills online to induce abortions at home," she said.
There will be no free vote on this
The Irish parliament is set to debate the proposed legislation in early 2013.
Enda Kenny, the Irish prime minister, said that draft legislation would be published in the New Year with a timetable of having the legislation ready by Easter.
Several legislators from Kenny's Fine Gael party have indicated that they would oppose the legislation. To ensure the controversial law is passed, the government whip will be applied to MPs in the ruling Fine Gael party. "There will be no free vote on this," said Kenny.

Surfing the Banzai Pipeline is the ultimate challenge for any professional surfer. On the North Shore of Oahu, young teens cut their teeth on it, as somewhat of a right of passage.
Hawaii's love for surfing as an art form and pastime, dates back centuries before the establishment of the professional sport competitions.
The State of Hawaii is developing surfing as a school sport, right alongside of baseball, football and basketball.
Surfing is an ageless sport, enjoyed by Hawaii locals from age-7 to 70.
Some of the great ones in the legacy of Hawaii surfing, still hold a prominent place in the hearts and minds if the locals.
The great ones will always be immortalized by the locals and by the world for their great love of the sport, tremendous skill, and other contributions in upholding the high standards and dignity of surfing.
From Duke Kahanamoku, Eddie Aikau, Reno Abellira, and Jimmy Blears, to John John Florence, Andy & Bruce Irons and Sunny Garcia. Check out the article list and pictorial of Hawaii's history of professional surfing.

Burnt Mills Reservoir
Burnt Mills is 711 acres and dates back to the early 1940s. The upper half of the lake is very stumpy and caution is required when motoring through the lake. The main tributary (Great Swamp) is a dense cypress swamp. The lake has good populations of largemouth bass, bluegill, chain pickerel, black crappie, and redear sunfish. Fish population surveys indicate most species have remained stable in terms of numbers and average size for the past ten years. Yellow perch appear to be increasing in abundance.
There is a gravel ramp, with improved parking, located just north of the intersection of Everets Road and Kirk Road, a few miles west of Route 10/32. City of Norfolk Boat permits are required, and gas motors (up to 9.9 horsepower) are allowed. The City of Norfolk has amended their codes to allow boats with outboard motors larger than 9.9 horse power to access the lake if the outboard is disabled (prop removed or fuel removed).The boat ramp and lake are open sunrise to sunset.

Ralph Lalama grew up in West Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, graduated from the Dana School of Music at Youngstown (Ohio) State University and was recognized there for his remarkable talent by the legendary Thad Jones who encouraged him to come to New York.
Since that time, Lalama has reached a dignified status as a widely respected master of the tenor through his achievements in the bands of Woody Herman, Buddy Rich, Carnegie Hall Jazz Band (under the direction of Jon Faddis), Carla Bley and the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra – now the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra – with whom he is a featured soloist on Monday nights at New York's Village Vanguard.
His experience is vast and varied and includes appearances with Barry Harris, Harold Danko, Mel Torme, Carmen McRae, Tom Harrell, Joe Morello, Ann Hampton Calloway and Peter Cincotti. He has recorded with Joe Morello, the Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra, the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, and the Carnegie Hall Jazz Band. He appears on two Joe Lovano nonet releases on Blue Note: the 2001 Grammy Award-winning, "52nd Street Themes," and the 2003 release, "On This Day...At The Vanguard."
With a prolific discography and in addition to numerous recordings as a sideman, Lalama has led his own projects for the Dutch label Criss Cross Jazz. His fifth, "Ralph Lalama: Music for Grown-Ups," features notables Richard Wyands at the piano, Peter Washington on bass and Kenny Washington on drums. "Lalama is out front booting things along with that cavernous sound of his and a swing and swagger that is infectious." (Chris Hovan, allaboutjazz). "Circle Line" garnered 4½ stars from Down Beat Magazine and secured him a spot in the magazine's "Top CDs of the Decade" (Dec. 99). "You Know What I Mean" received wide acclaim and his "Momentum" CD, with Kenny Barron, placed him at No. 2 on New York's WBGO playlist for that year, just behind tenor giant Joe Henderson.
Lalama's playing reveals an enormous depth of musical heart and knowledge. Combined with his muscular sound, executed in a freewheeling, no-holds-barred approach to the music, one understands why he so thoroughly connects with musicians and listeners alike.
When not busy touring the world, he dedicates his time to teaching younger players as an adjunct professor at New York University and SUNY Purchase in Westchester, New York — where he is also a performer and teaching member of the newly created Westchester Jazz Orchestra. He has instructed an international collective of students through Manhattan School of Music's Marca Jazz Camp in Venice, Italy. He also offers private instruction. One of his students, Jonathan Lee, is the recipient of the 2003 National Down Beat Award for Best High School Jazz Soloist.

April 17, 2008
LOS ANGELES - The UCLA women's water polo team will host an exhibition game against the U.S. women's national team Thursday at Sunset Canyon Recreation Center. Game time is slated for 4 p.m.
The top-ranked Bruins, who posted a perfect 27-0 record during the regular season, will play the national team Thursday afternoon before preparing for the 2008 MPSF Tournament, hosted by San Diego State from April 27-24.
Thursday afternoon, UCLA will welcome back two former Bruins currently on the U.S. national team training roster - Natalie Golda and Jaime Hipp. The women's national team is led by former UCLA water polo head coach Guy Baker.
Last weekend, UCLA won its final three regular-season matches. The Bruins defeated No. 5 San Diego State, 17-5, and Sonoma State, 14-7, at Sunset Canyon Recreation Center on Saturday. The following afternoon, UCLA honored its five seniors in the annual "Senior Day" ceremony before cruising past No. 7 Arizona State, 14-4.
The three-time defending NCAA champion women's water polo team earned the No. 1 seed at the upcoming MPSF Tournament. With Sunday's win over Arizona State, UCLA won its 35th consecutive game, dating back to the 2007 season. The Bruins also completed the fourth perfect MPSF season since the inception of NCAA women's water polo in 2001.

Mamdani on why Raila lost
Posted Sunday, March 10 2013 at 02:00
In Summary
The conventional wisdom in the Kenyan media is that the 2013 election has been an ethnic census, not an issue-based contest. This is a half-truth which fails to recognise the issues that drive the ethnicisation of politics. The half-truth has two sides to it. It is true that the easiest way to predict how an individual voted would be to know his or her ethnicity. What is not so obvious is the flip side: to make sense of how ethnic blocs have voted, for whom, we actually need to look at the issues.
What are the issues? The overriding issues in the Kenyan election were two: Land and the International Criminal Court (ICC). In highlighting the land question, CORD hoped to win in two places where this question is the most volatile: Coast and Rift Valley. It is said that the largest landowners in Kenya are its three big political families: Kenyatta, Moi, Kibaki. The land issue on the Coast is defined as that between the Kenyatta family and the people. As expected, CORD has won the Coast handsomely.
In the Rift Valley, there are two clashing notions of land rights – a colonial era notion that land belongs to those native to the land versus a market-based notion that land belongs to whoever holds the title. This put two ethnic groups, Kalenjin and Kikuyu, against one another and was at the heart of the 2007 election violence. CORD expected to rally the Kalenjin against the Kikuyu and win in the Rift Valley in 2013.
But the unexpected happened. CORD lost in the Rift Valley, and spectacularly too. Instead of a repeat of the 2007 ethnic conflict, you had an ethnic reconciliation. This is the main story in this election. The explanation for this lies in the domestic impact of the ICC.
Campaigning for peace
The Jubilee coalition mobilised support around the question of peace and against the ICC's intervention in Kenya. Raila and CORD failed to trounce Kenyatta and Jubilee in Kalenjin areas. The Kalenjin followed Ruto who told them they had been sacrificed as lambs at the altar called ICC. In the process, Jubilee put together a peace coalition. Uhuru evoked his father's legacy and claimed to build a grand national reconciliation.
Two contradictory political processes have unfolded in Kenya since the 2007 election. One was typified by the Constitutional referendum of April, 2010, which passed with a thumping 66.9 per cent 'yes' in all major provinces except Rift Valley. Opposition to it was led by Ruta.The counter-movement began when the ICC declared, a year later, in April 2011, that it would charge 'the Ocampo 6' with 'crimes against humanity.'
I suggest we think of two kinds of ethnic groups when it comes to politics.
The first kind are ethnicities that are so highly politicised that they tend to polarise politics ethnically. We can call these fighting ethnicitiescentrally organised for political action. The two prime examples historically are the Kikuyu and Luo. On the other side, you have ethnicities without extreme ethnic politicisation, without a centralised political organisation or direction. They do not vote one way, but many ways – eg, Maasai. In Kenya, their orientation is to what is known as AGIP (any government in power).
Whereas the 2010 referendum had a de-ethnicising effect on Kenyan politics, the involvement of the ICC had the opposite effect, re-ethnicising Kenyan politics, with more and more ethnicities organising politically and centrally. The result is that the country has re-divided into two large ethnic coalitions.
The ICC is the single factor with the most influence on this election. The ICC process has polarised politics in Kenya because the electoral process did not unfold on a level playing field. Led by individuals who stand charged before the ICC, one side in the electoral contest is, and so it can not contemplate defeat. The simple fact is that, if defeated, they would lose all.
Everyone knows that the worst thing to do in a contest is to leave your opponent without an escape route. If you do that, you turn the contest into a life-and-death struggle. You transform adversaries into enemies. This side, the Jubilee coalition, presents itself as victimised, turned into a sacrificial lamb. Yet, it is an open secret that among its supporters are those armed for a fight to the finish.
The other side is beginning to sense that its embrace of the ICC may have been a political blunder, but the realisation has come a little late. The political leadership of CORD now says it was actually in favour of a national jurisdiction; it did not favour going to the ICC. Neither did it oppose the Hague option. At most, it remained silent. One part of the CORD coalition, the human rights lobby, embraced the ICC option openly and enthusiastically. Its slogan said so: 'don't be vague, let us go to Hague.' The political cost has been high.
The result is that CORD has lost the middle ground in this election. This is most obvious in the Rift Valley. On its part, Jubilee has been able to tap into the overwhelming sentiment for peace. Jubilee presented itself as a party of a grand national reconciliation, and CORD as the party of vengeance. This was not an election for Jubilee to win. It was an election for CORD to lose. If that happens, the credit for that loss must go to human rights fundamentalists in its ranks.
Need for a judicial process
The larger lesson is that a judicial process needs to be held accountable to the political process. In a situation of mass violence like 2007 in Kenya, the political cost of an unaccountable judicial process is unacceptably high.
The judicial process tends to be a winner take all process. In the court of law, you are either right or wrong, innocent or guilty; both parties cannot be guilty in a court of law. In a civil war, however, both parties often bear some share of the guilt.
The judicial process criminalises one side, which is then politically disenfranchised. Everyone knows that there was a clear attempt to disenfranchise the leadership of the Jubilee coalition before the election on grounds that it was the subject of a judicial process. This single fact, if none other, made it clear to the Jubilee leadership that this was likely to be last chance to have a political voice.
My main point is this: those who want to reform the political process need to assure all adversaries are represented in the political process, and none ruled out as enemies. Targeting leaders of political parties in a civil war-type situation in courts of law, and thereby excluding them from the political process, is a recipe for rekindling the civil war.

"How do I get comfortable in my own skin with my own energy?" Being able to accept yourself with all your flaws and variables with the back drop of the voices around you and what they whisper in your ear. How do you get comfortable and confident in you? Something very powerful can be inside you, something that inspires, motivates and encourages others.
You can't judge your own book by other people's perception of the cover
It can be isolating at the same time to look out into the world and feel as though there is no one else out there who resembles you. Being different is looked down upon in our society, straying from what people perceive to be "the norm," and doing what everyone else is doing just so that you feel included isn't fulfilling in the long run.
Sometimes you just want to crawl back into your own shell
Maybe you feel you aren't accomplished enough by other people's standards. You are human and it's natural to have these feelings. After all, you are a newborn soul into this world. What do you like or dislike, what are your quandaries, sundries and talents? The world is your oyster to explore and find that out for yourself. You are capable of turning insecurities into real fulfilling outward connections.
It takes practice, it takes experience
Just because everybody's doing it doesn't make it the 'right thing' for you to do. Just because you see no one else doing it like you doesn't make it 'bad' or 'wrong.' Eternally so, absolutely so. Some things in this universe are absolute.
The Russian writer Tolstoy said, "I cannot conceive of a man not being free unless he is dead"
The absence of freedom is the presence of death. Depriving yourself of individual freedom is murder to the soul, and you should be concerned. It's as if you aren't good enough. The problem is your moral genius lags behind.
The problem is that you have outdistanced the spiritual ends by which you live
Within the heart and soul of you is mighty precious. Maybe you didn't walk over to the edge, maybe you were pushed. In my experience, you get better at them, the quantum leaps, jumping into the impossible possibilities. You've got to go forward in you, and the real meaning and purpose of it.

I went into labor at midnight. I was up all night trying to time the contractions. In the morning my husband and I headed to our jobs, a half-hour away. Jason sat with me for an hour and we timed contractions while I worked. I went to lunch with some friends and then saw my doctor about 2 p.m.
He said I was still only 1 1/2 centimeters dilated but I was 90 percent effaced. He said I could either go home or walk around the mall. I went back to work instead. By 4 p.m. I was in so much pain that I couldn't breathe or concentrate. Several girls sat with me in the office, trying to help me. My boss called my husband to tell him it was time.
The hospital was so busy that they had to put me in a patient room instead of a delivery room. I was hooked up to the monitors and asked questions I thought I had already answered in the paperwork I had filled out, but oh well.
I had a really strong contraction and felt my baby flip over. They lost her heartbeat with every contraction and the nurse was blaming me for moving too much. During another contraction, a nurse noticed me struggling to control my pain and helped my husband and I breathe through it.
My parents joined us, and Jason went to the car to grab all our stuff and make phone calls. While he was gone I had another really strong contraction and we lost the baby's heart rate again. I told the nurse I hadn't moved and she said she knew -- she had been watching. She started pushing the monitors into my stomach and rolling me back and forth, trying to find the baby. My dad raced outside to find my husband and tell him what was happening. Nurses and doctors came running into the room and decided we needed an emergency c-section.
I hadn't been allowed any pain medication because they were having such difficulty monitoring Makiah, and now I had to decide if I wanted an epidural or general anesthesia. I had a dilemma: I was against the epidural, but my husband couldn't stay with me if I had general anesthesia. My decision ended up being made for me because they lost the baby again -- they said I didn't have the time for an epidural.
I was rushed to the OR, leaving my husband and family behind to worry. I told my husband I was very scared, and that I was sorry he wouldn't get to see the birth of our first child.
When I woke up, I was told that I had a beautiful little girl who was 4 pounds, 12 ounces, and she was in NICU with her daddy. She was tiny but healthy. I was surprised she was so tiny because my doctor thought she was about 7 pounds. I was told later that Makiah had been breech and there was no amniotic fluid left. The cord was around her throat and there was some meconium, but she would be okay.

Glycerine is a somewhat viscous clear oily liquid, with a sweet taste.
It is manufactured from petroleum, or from glycerides in fats, often as a by product in the production of soap.
Glycerine is hydrophilic (water loving), and is used to keep products such as dried fruits from getting too dry, and to keep the liquid in soft fillings from escaping into crisp crusts, making them soggy. This emollient (moisturizing) effect also finds use in hand creams. It lowers the freezing point of water, and is used as an anti-freeze.
Glycerine is about ¾ as sweet as sugar, so it can reduce the need for sugar in products that require it for other reasons. In toothpaste it sweetens while keeping the paste from drying when the cap is left off.
Glycerine is used in many skin creams and medicines, such as eye and ear drops, poison ivy creams, suppositories, and contraceptive jellies.
Glycerine is used as an emollient (skin softener) in soaps.
A familiar compound results when glycerine reacts with nitric acid in the presence of sulfuric acid as a drying agent.
Glyceryl trinitrate is used in medicines for its effects on blood flow. As a coronary vasodilator, it is used by heart patients.
As an explosive, it is the principle ingredient in dynamite, under the name nitroglycerine.
Glycerine Uses for Skin
Products containing glycerine are gentle on the skin. They are safe to be used on childrens' skin, as glycerine does not cause any irritation to skin. It attracts water to the skin and restores the suppleness of the skin. Wrinkles are caused when the skin loses moisture and elasticity and as a person ages, the resources sent to the skin deplete and the body is not able to replenish them. When glycerine is applied, it forms a protective cover against moisture loss. The skin care products which contain glycerine include moisturizers, creams and lotions, soaps, deodorants and make up products, like, mascara and lipstick. Among many liquid glycerin uses, one is making soap at home.
Vegetable glycerin uses are also seen in the pharmaceutical industry. Glycerine is used as a topical medication for yeast and fungal infections, like, psoriasis, eczema, etc. Also, there are many drugs used to treat ear infections that contain glycerine.
Here is a small skin care pack which will help you to soften your dry rough skin. Mix glycerine, honey, water, all in equal quantities. To this add oatmeal till the liquid thickens, to make a mask like texture. Spread it where you notice dry skin. After 20 minutes, wash it off and pat dry.
Glycerine Uses for Hair
To keep the frizz away in curly hair, glycerine helps a great deal. Glycerine works well with curly and dry hair, as it draws moisture from the air to the hair shaft. The curls are well formed after the use of glycerine on dry curly hair. If you feel that your hair has become frizzy due to the dry weather, you can take some glycerine on your hand and dilute it with water. Now run your hands through your hair.
Pure Glycerine Uses
Pure glycerine can be used for cleaning purposes as well. It instantly kills all the bacteria as soon as it comes in contact with the bacteria. It draws out water from bacteria, instantly killing it. If a person is suffering from halitosis, the person should be asked to gargle with glycerine.
Glycerine Uses for Baking
Glycerine is also used in the confectionery and baking industry. It is used to soften icing used on cakes. Not only does it soften cakes, it is also adds sweetness to the cake. Sugar crystallization in candy is prevented by the use of glycerine in it.
Other Glycerine Uses
Among the other uses, biodiesel glycerine uses ranks high. Glycerine, in its impure form, is a byproduct, while manufacturing biodiesel. The main crude glycerine uses is to derive ethanol from it.
If you have sticky food that is spilled in the refrigerator, you can make use of glycerin to get rid of it. It is a natural solvent and helps in removing spills. If you want to preserve fruits, you can do so by using glycerine.
These days, glycerine is widely used by the textile industry as well. There are two main uses of glycerine in the textile industry: one is to soften the yards of fabric and the other is to lubricate fiber.
Glycerine is one of the ingredients which goes into the making of Nitroglycerin. Nitroglycerin is an important product used to manufacture smokeless gunpowder.
With all the above mentioned glycerine uses, we can safely conclude that it is a versatile product. At the same time, it is inexpensive to produce.

Man who fired homemade cannon that exploded and killed girlfriend enters guilty plea
Richard Fox faces up to six years in prison
EL CAJON, Calif. - An East County man whose homemade cannon-like device exploded, sending shrapnel through his trailer that killed his longtime girlfriend, pleaded guilty Monday to felony charges of explosion of a destructive device and possession of ingredients to make an explosive device.
Richard Dale Fox, 41, faces between six and 10 years in prison for causing the March 2012 death of 38-year-old Jeanette Ogara. Fox was originally charged with murder.
El Cajon Judge Patricia Cookson scheduled sentencing for Sept. 15.
Following the defendant's arraignment in 2012, Deputy District Attorney C.J. Mody said there was no evidence that Fox, who had been drinking, intended to kill his girlfriend.
"There were some tears in the courtroom," said Mody. "This is obviously an emotional case for both sides."
In a recording of Fox's 911 call immediately following the 12:05 a.m. blast, he can be heard sobbing and apologizing.
"I didn't mean to," Fox told the dispatcher. "Why couldn't it be me?"
Fox, Ogara and three male friends were in the trailer in Potrero drinking around 11:30 p.m. on March 5, 2012, when the defendant went outside to ignite the mortar-like device, Mody said.
The device included a 26-inch-long pipe meant to be stood up, loaded with gunpowder or some other explosive material and ignited by a fuse at its base. It was not pointed at the trailer, according to the prosecutor.
Fox ignited the device and it exploded, causing the pipe to shatter and sending a piece of shrapnel through a side panel of the trailer, hitting Ogara in the upper chest, Mody said.
The couple's 4-year-old daughter, who was sleeping in the front area of the trailer, and the three friends were not injured. Fox was treated for leg wounds.
According to court records, Fox served time in prison in the 1990s for auto theft and weapons possession. He pleaded guilty in 2009 to a misdemeanor battery charge against Ogara.

Can anyone help with normalizing incoming numbers from our audiocodes mediant 1000 (from PSTN) box into lync. Out the box, numbers are presented to lync without a leading zero, so eg a local london number comes through as 208 123 1234. Here's what ive tried:
Add normalization rule for these number in a user dial plan (test 208 123 1234 normalizes to 0208 123 1234) Add similar normalization rule to a pool dial plan using the audiocodes gateway
I see From:sip:23081231234... in the logs, some of them have phone-context=UK (is the context the dial plan its using?)
These all test fine, and show the correct normalized number, but the incoming calls still do not seem to be normalized - is there something I'm missing?

This past spring, Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota participated in graduation ceremonies at the university. After just three years on campus, Mariota had earned a degree in general sciences, which requires math courses up to and including calculus, along with Mariota's chosen focus on human physiology.
Having decided to pass up the NFL draft and return to school for the 2014 football season, Mariota allowed himself a less rigorous course load for the fall. Among the classes he'll take is golf.
While the general sciences major surely will end up proving more taxing, when it comes to the links, Mariota could use some extra homework. "Oh man," he said with a laugh after Monday's first practice of preseason camp. "I'm bad."
How bad? Recently, Mariota was playing a round of 18 holes with his roommate and close friend Jeff Lockie – who also happens to be Mariota's backup at quarterback. At the turn, the two were even. But on the back side, Mariota reverted to form; Lockie ended up edging him by 30 strokes.
The location of their round was unusual; the two were in Mariota's home state of Hawaii, where Lockie spent six days with Mariota's family in July. That Lockie finished with the better score, however, was very typical. "I had to make sure he knew it doesn't matter what state we're in," Lockie joked.
In the ultra-competitive world of college football, battles for playing time don't always make for the friendliest of relationships among guys at the same position. Quarterbacks, as one of the smallest position groups on the team, tend to be an exception. But even in that regard, the relationship between Mariota and Lockie is unique.
One is the face of Oregon football, the other his relatively unproven backup. One is from the islands, the other from the mainland. And yet for all their differences, "they're as close as any two guys on our team," said their position coach, UO offensive coordinator Scott Frost. "They're brothers."
Mariota, a redshirt junior, and Lockie, a redshirt sophomore, first bonded when Lockie arrived from his home state of California in 2012. Lockie asked his new position mate for help studying the playbook, Mariota came over to oblige and then ended up sticking around to play video games. The studying/gaming sessions became routine and a friendship was formed.
They bonded over their similarities, as grounded, mature young men who take a particularly analytical approach to the game. And they bonded over their differences, which go beyond their skills on the golf course.
"We're two very different people in certain aspects," Mariota said. "He's very Type A; I'm a little more on the shy side. People say opposites attract, and it's funny how that worked out."
A particular trait of Lockie's Type A-ness is his willingness to bust the chops of anyone and everyone, up to and including Frost or UO head coach Mark Helfrich. And also Mariota. "They're hilarious together," UO receiver Keanon Lowe said. "Not a lot of people will poke fun at Marcus; I think Lockie's the only one I've ever seen."
Lockie, a devoted Buffalo Bills fans, busts on Mariota's Dallas Cowboys. He needles Mariota for being an oh-so-very stereotypically laid back Hawaiian. And of course, he mocks Mariota's golf skills.
But he's a resource for Mariota as well. "He's done so much for me in his couple years here," Mariota said. "Hopefully I helped his learning curve when he came in. He really helps me out on the field when it comes to game time. He's able to see things and throw them out there on the sideline, making sure I'm paying attention to certain keys. It's a blessing for me."
That aspect of the friendship is a two-way street. The two might be at home late at night the week of a game, studying film on their iPads, and one will hit up the other to get their thoughts on a certain tendency the upcoming opponent might be revealing. "They're both really, really football smart," Frost said. "They can bounce ideas off each other, and it's four eyes instead of two."
That dynamic plays out on the practice field, and on the sideline during games, the two making sure each other noticed how, for example, a defensive end might be reacting to the option. Mariota, the unquestioned starter, benefits from the extra set of eyes, which see the game in similarly analytical fashion; Lockie, the backup, has the chance to mentor from arguably the best quarterback in college football.
In the way that Lockie pokes fun at Mariota, or runs interference for him when they're out in public, so that Mariota gets to enjoy some personal space, Lockie can sometimes seem like the older brother of the two. "I can see that, and I definitely understand that – but he definitely helps me out a lot too," Lockie said.
Off and on since they became friends, Mariota had mentioned the idea of Lockie visiting Hawaii. Lockie had been there before on a vacation – "but it wasn't the real Hawaii," he said. Knowing that Mariota planned to spend a couple of weeks back home this summer, Lockie looked into plane tickets, and found a reasonably priced flight.
So it came to pass that he spent six days with Mariota in the islands, just prior to the start of preseason camp. There was a memorable trip to a sandbar in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, hiking and beach days.
And of course, there was Mariota's epic choke job in the final nine holes of their golf outing. On the football field, Mariota may have a definitive edge on Lockie, but the dynamic is equally one-sided on the links – a fact Lockie doesn't figure to let his roommate, teammate and friend live down any time soon.

12 Dancing Princesses 5th Birthday (10 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Like many young girls my daughter cannot get enough of Barbie, so when she asked to have a 12 Dancing Princesses party for her fifth birthday I couldn't wait to beging planning! I didnt want to have the normal Barbie themed party where her face was plastered everywhere, but I also wanted my daughter to love it and have a great time. We decided to make it a sleepover party (yes I know I'm nuts !), so there were only 5 girls total. I was able to complete the party on a totally tiny budget.
I purchased a whole lot of cardstock ranging in color from Purple and Pink to blue, orange and green, so I could re-use it for later invites to other parties. For the invitations I printed the party inforamtion on pink cardstock, cut the edges with craft scissors to give it a scalloped look, layered it onto purple cardstock with the edges also cut with craft scissors and stuck some 3D scrapbooking ballet slippers and crown stickers to the top layer.
I grew up dancing so for the decorations I took old ballet shoes, dress up crowns and wands and placed them around the house.
For the party favors I found some purple tutus and silver wands, from the Dollar Tree, for the girls to wear. The birthday girl wore a gorgeous pink velvet and tulle princess dress (thanks Target!) with a crown.
With the help of crepe paper I created a beautiful dance environment in the living room to resemble the 12 Dancing Princesses bedroom, which lead down to the playroom as the dancing pavillion. We had the movie playing in the living room and music in the basement, or Golden Pavillion, as my daughter called it.
Hope you enjoy!

BOULDER-Cross country runners Carrie Verdon and Jake Hurysz earned CU Athlete of the Week honors on Tuesday for their athletic performances during the week Sept. 24-30. CU's Athlete of the Week is sponsored by Silk®, Horizon® and International Delight®.
Freshman Carrie Verdon led the way for the Buffs with a third-place finish in the women's 5.8 kilometer race on Saturday morning at the 27th Annual Rocky Mountain Shootout at the Buffalo Ranch Cross Country Course. The Moraga, Calif., (Campolindo) native helped the Buffs win the Division I women's title with 19 points, besting second-place Wyoming's total of 58.
"That was a very nice run for Carrie," said coach Mark Wetmore of Verdon's 21:03 time. "Patient, closing, hard, that's among the top freshmen time ever here; particularly for a day that's getting a little warm."
Junior Jake Hurysz made his CU cross country debut by winning the 8-kilometer men's race of the Rocky Mountain Shootout in 24 minutes and 34 seconds. It was the fourth fastest men's time to ever be recorded at Buffalo Ranch behind record holder Jorge Torres (24:07, 2002) and Adam Goucher (24:12, 1998; 24:30, 1997).
Hurysz started the race with the lead and never let it go as he finished nearly half a minute in front of the next closest runners. His teammates, Blake Theroux and Martin Medina, were second and third, respectively, with the same time of 25:01. CU won the Division I team title with a perfect score of 15.
"It was fun," Hurysz said after the race. "I got to put the jersey on for the first time and it felt good to come out here and get a win and give a good effort."
This was the Mebane, N.C., (Eastern Alamance/North Carolina) native's first official race for the seventh-ranked Buffs after transferring to CU from North Carolina last January. After redshirting the track season, Hurysz previously competed unattached at the time trial four weeks ago and finished fourth with a time of 26:14.
Also nominated for this week's award: Nikki Lindow (volleyball), Ashley Tiefel (women's tennis), Jake Burstyn (men's golf) and David Oraee (men's golf).
Nikki Lindow recorded 15 kills and 11 blocks over the weekend in the volleyball team's two matches. She had 10 kills and four blocks in a four-set loss to Oregon State and also had five kills and seven blocks against No. 2 Oregon. The junior middle blocker averaged 1.57 blocks per set and 2.14 kills per set while attacking at a team-best .258.
Ashley Tiefel advanced to the finals of the Singles Flight 4, winning two matches at the five-team Indiana Invitational in Bloomington, the first fall tournament for women's tennis in 2012. Tiefel defeated Indiana's Gabrielle Rubenstein, 4-6, 6-3, 1-0(5) in the opening round and then edged Claudia Escribens of Purdue in the semifinals, 6-3, 0-6, 1-0(7). Tiefel lost in the finals to Purdue's Tess Bernard-Feigenbaum, 6-4, 6-1. The sophomore was the only CU player to claim victory on the singles court on Friday and Saturday for the Buffs. She is 4-2 over the last two years in fall singles play and improved her three-set record to 2-0 over her career.
Senior Jason Burstyn and sophomore David Oraee both tied for seventh individually and helped the men's golf team to a runner-up finish at the 58th Annual New Mexico Tucker Invitational last week. It was just the third time Colorado finished second in the tournament. In the first round, Burstyn shot a 68 and Oraee a 69, but both carded 73's in the second round. Oraee finished with a 75 and Burstyn a 76 in the third round, and both ended with a 1-over par 217 total.

More: Congratulations on your new series, Boston's Finest.
Donnie Wahlberg: I am so excited and proud of this series. I wanted to make a docudrama that would focus on the real lives of police offcers both on and off the job. Before filming could even begin, we had to earn the trust of these men and women. Our goal was to have the heart-stopping drama TNT fans expect to see yet not damage any relationships the charactes spent years building.
More: This time you are stepping behind the camera and calling the shots.
DW: Yes, I serve as the executive producer of the show. This has been a true labor of love.
More: In addition to this show, you also star as Detective Danny Reagan on the CBS drama Blue Bloods. You have a real things for cops, huh?
DW: I do [Laughs}. Heck, having played a cop quite a few times, I hope I have learned from all of these experiences. Frankly, I think Blue Bloods has prepared to do this new program. I now understand the procedural world of a police officer in many situations, such as catching the bad guy and, of course, making it home safe to their families every night.
More: Blue Blood focuses a lot on the importance of family, including having real sit-down family dinners. What is Donnie's view on family?
DW: That family dinner scene was the main reason I did Blue Bloods. I got the script for the show at the same time I was reading a bunch of different pilots. When I saw how that dinner scene would be in every episode, I got hooked, because that is a slice right out of my real life.
More: Do tell...
DW: When I was growing up, there were nine kids in my house sitting down every night to have dinner. We would argue, fight, disagree, hear opinions and share what we did that day, just like you see on the show. That scene takes me right back to my childhood and feels so real.
More: Family first?
DW: For me, family is so important, both as a dad and as a sibling.
More: Was it hard being one of nine children?
DW: I am the eighth of nine kids and have always been the organizer of the family. When my parents split up, I was in the seventh grade. I immediately became the one would plan Christmas Eve and Christmas. I would always decide whose house we were going to, and then I would organize my siblings, including my brother Mark [the actor and former rapper]. I was the one telling them what the plan would be and then informing my parents as to what the arrangements were.
More: Did everyone get along?
DW: We fight and argue a lot, like most Irish Catholic families, but we love each other a lot and would die for each other.
More: Your TV family the Regans shows us how they come together during a tragedy, such as the death of your TV brother, your TV son's coma and your character's arrest for drugs. How do the Wahlberg's come together when times are bad?
DW: The episode when Danny's son is in a coma was a story I pitched to our writer. One of the things I talked about during our discussion was when my oldest sister passed away a few years ago and what that experience was like for me and my family.

Recently my family and I were fortunate to be involved in the creation of a Habitat House. We watched the house being built–we were on the sponsoring side rather than the building side–and, every week, seeing the house take form was a wonderful thing. It got me thinking about giving and what people give–time, money, ideas, energy–to.
I'm not a religious person and thus do not tithe and am not involved at a church. But I love being a volunteer and have done everything from coaching little kids soccer to chairing the governing committee at my children's high school. Currently I serve on the Board of my local YMCA and, as a small business owner, try and support many of my town's charitable events.
For me, being a donor, whether it's of time or money, is one of my favorite things to find the time and resources to do. I believe that giving of oneself is the best way possible to combat the despair that comes with reading the morning paper. Yes, things are flagrantly awful in Africa, but by being a Kiva participant, I can blunt my sense of helplessness. I find I fret less about the stresses humanity places on our planet when I clean up the trash in my city's streams. And I am more comfortable with the giving hand I've been dealt when I work to help those who haven't my good fortune.
I am not alone. According reports from the American Association of Fundraising Counsel and Volunteering in America, in 2010 Americans gave more than $290.89 billion to their favorite causes and spent over 8.1 billion hours volunteering. To know this gladdens my heart.
So to all who volunteer and give, wherever you live, thank you. You are truly making the world a better place. And if you feel comfortable, I'd love to know what causes call to you. And if you're not a volunteer now, it's probably because your every day life is just too demanding. That's fine too.

Korea's darling of figure skating, Yu-Na Kim, is sticking to her own game plan this season said coach Brian Orser. "We have our own agenda. Yu-Na just naturally just takes on the challenges of skating technically and artistically and we learned a lot from last season," he said. "I know that Yu-Na is always looking forward and not concerning herself with her contenders. We just focus on the job that she needs to do."
Kim is excited about the two new programs choreographer David Wilson created for her. "I think my new short program is not a typical program in figure skating," she said. "When I first heard the music I asked myself, 'can I really do it?'
"But after practicing it for a while I found it challenging but manageable and I gained confidence that I can really do it. I think it will show how much effort I have put into mastering it. The program is really dynamic and I can show many different sides of myself."

According to Paul Casey of Eugene's Kendall Honda/Acura, the all new 2015 Acura TLX sport sedan will arrive in the area sometime this weekend. Paul's Acura's sales manager and looks forward to the much anticipated midsize sport sedan. Paul tells us that the car was originally scheduled for arrival in May of this year.
We check in with Acura
Mike Accavitti, Vice President and General Manager of Acura North America tells us that consumer response to TLX is the greatest in Acura history. According to Mike 40,000 consumers have responded to direct marketing emails and have requested contact with area Acura Dealers. To put this into perspective, Acura's all time best selling MDX SUV(best selling premium SUV in North America) received 20,000 RFIs in 2012.
Yes, the TLX was originally slated for dealership release in May 2014, However, Acura opted to hold the car until all systems worked as designed, says Mike. Apparently, Acura's not taking any chances on this game changer. While Mike Accavitti won't tell us that TLX will return Acura to the heyday of its history, he is pleased to share with us that TLX is the car that will elevate Acura to sport sedan notability.
In the planning stage for 5.5 years, TLX will effectively bridge the gap between the mark's Civic based ILX sedan and the flagship RLX. You can read about the all new TLX here.
Acura TLX is assembled using 90+ percent of North America produced parts in Marysville Ohio.
One exception to the aforementioned is the Honda Engineering designed(world's first) 8 speed DCT with torque converter. Also worth noting is Acura's P-AWS(power assisted all wheel steering.) The easy way to explain this is "slot car racing." This car is sticky. For the top of the line SH-AWD TLX, Acura calls on next generation "Super Handling All Wheel Drive"and an all new 9 speed automatic to take the 3600 lb 4 door through its paces. All systems are silent and intuitive.
looking to the specifications of the 2015 TLX we discover best in class fuel economy, interior spaciousness and a note-worthy electronic accident avoidance. Acura has employed two new engines and two new transmissions to achieve class leading performance and economy in a mid size premium luxury sport sedan. Offered in 7 variants with a beginning MSRP of $30,900, Acura places the TLX in the middle of a very crowded segment.
After driving the 2015 TLX we look for this car to return Acura to prominence in the midsize sedan class. Mike Accavitti and company looks to the TLX to be a game changer for Acura. We agree. Look for the arrival of the all new 2015 TLX at a dealership near you the week of August 10.

We just had a Full Moon on January 15 in Cancer. We had quite a bit of cloud cover in Oakland, Bergen County but if you were lucky enough to see it, the Moon was in her glory near sparkling Jupiter. Perhaps some of you enjoyed a romantic evening in the moonlight!
We have had the Sun, Venus, Pluto and until recently Mercury all in Capricorn so there has been an emphasis on that sign and all activities related to it. These are big business, real estate, finance, corporations, politics, government, authority and all levels of organization and practical matters. It just occurred to me that all that flap in the news about the 3-day traffic jam at the GW Bridge in Fort Lee back in September, "Bridgegate", has Pluto and Capricorn written all over it. The repercussions went all the way to the top. Governor Christie was just a little embarrassed. Politics, government and authority. Now heads are rolling. It's interesting how only now the incident came to light when the Sun joined up with Pluto in Capricorn. The Sun lights things up you see. And Pluto brings down those who have it coming to them.
Right now there isn't a whole lot going on with the planets. Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are all slowing down in their respective places. On January 20 the Sun will move into Aquarius and light up other things. Mercury is already there and on the move. Aquarius rules humanitarian issues, revolution, changes in technology, electricity, astrology and anything eccentric or off the beaten path. This is a good time to buy a new phone or laptop. There may be an important new invention or discovery in the news. You may have an unusual idea worth looking into.
Reminder: The Market Basket in Franklin Lakes, Bergen County has a nice selection of soups and other hearty entrees to warm you up on a cold winter's night. Stop in and treat yourself!

Londoners, Lindsay and Ryan, carefully chose Castillo Vicarello (http://www.vicarello.it/), in Tuscany to play host to their nearest and dearest for their destination wedding. With a venue this amazing, they aimed for a natural glamour that let the setting speak for itself and still managed to integrate details that spoke to their modern sensibilities. Guests were welcomed to the ceremony with cocktails invented by a mixologist friend, Lindsay walked down the aisle to a surprisingly appropriate techno track mixed by another friend, votives swirled around the lawn during dinner and dancing, and the disco was ignited with a confetti bomb.

Erin Hamlin made American history at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia by capturing the nation's first ever Winter Games medal in singles luge. The native New Yorker's bronze-worthy finish came during her third stint as an Olympian and a whopping five years after she ended a 99-race win streak by German athletes to take the 2009 World Championship title. With Sochi in the rear view, Hamlin is back in the states and actively working with the Citi Kids program, which opened its sixth season on April 24.
The Citi Kids program, which provides educational and motivational support to middle and high school students living in New York City, was founded in 2009 as a joint venture between Citi, the Jackie Robinson Foundation, the Mets, and United Neighborhood Houses. The 2014 season will focus on the importance of financial responsibility via Citi's Teach Children to Save Initiative.
Hamlin, 27, first connected with Citi during the months leading up to the Winter Games as part of the Every Step Program. The effort helped Hamlin and eight other elite athletes raise money for and awareness of grass roots sports programs that are dear to their hearts.
Hamlin was on-hand for the April 24 Citi Kids kick-off event at Citi Field, which saw her share her story of hard work and triumph with a group of middle school students from New York's School of Integrated Learning before tossing out the ceremonial first pitch at the Mets' game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Afterward, Examiner caught up with the talented luger for an exclusive interview.
How did you come to be involved with Citi?
Hamlin: I worked with Team Citi leading up to the Games.... Coming here to do the Citi Kids program is a great opportunity. As an elite athlete it's amazing to have the opportunity to connect with kids and have that platform to try and make a difference.
Let's talk about luge. It's not exactly a mainstream sport, so how did you discover it?
Hamlin: I actually got into the sport through the [USA Luge] Slider Search, which is the program that I actually supported with the [Every Step] campaign which is pretty cool, because it kind of came full-circle. It's basically like an open-call try-out. They have a small ramp and sleds with wheels on them and they kind of send kids down a hill and teach them how to steer and really the bare basics of the sport. Kids who show potential get called into the development program.
Boiled down to a few words, how does it feel to slide down the track?
Hamlin: It takes finesse, but you kind of want to be on the edge of out of control. It's definitely an adrenaline rush. It's hard to put it into only a couple of words. People like to compare it to going down a roller coaster, but the biggest difference is I'm in control. I have to be the one making sure I'm not on my face.
The bronze medal you won in Sochi bought you a permanent place in America's history books. Who inspired you to be your best?
Hamlin: Honestly, I have a great support system from my family and my community at home, and they've been there whether or not I've won a medal so that's always really encouraging for me to try to bring success home. I did that and it's so satisfying. But at the same time, I also grew up watching the Olympics and hearing the stories of the athletes and seeing those moments of success at the Olympics and I always thought 'that's so cool.' They're just average Americans, normal people, and they chased these dreams and achieved greatness, and that was super inspiring for me. I was like 'I want one of those moments at the Olympics.' And finally getting it is pretty surreal. Seeing other Olympics and seeing them overcome whatever they had to overcome to succeed is very inspiring to me.
What's your earliest Olympic memory?
Hamlin: I loved figure skating, so I always watched figure skating, like Nancy Kerrigan and then Kristi Yamaguchi.... I [also] did gymnastics when I was little so I was always glued to it. I remember being little and starting gymnastics and always wanting that perfect 10 and hearing the Nadia Comaneci, the Mary Lou Retton stories, the big names. And then in 1996, I was 10 years old watching our team just dominate and it was so, so cool to see girls who were American with all these great stories. I think those were my biggest Olympic moments for sure.
Those are great ones! What was the first thought you had when you realized you'd medaled in Sochi?
Hamlin: When I came on the line, I knew before I even finished that I had gotten it, because I knew much time I had in the bank. I knew I just really needed to make it down. I got through kind of a tough spot but I knew I just needed to cruise to the finish. I made it down and I was just thinking 'oh my gosh, did that really just happen?' I just laughed, because I went into this race with zero expectation, I put no pressure on myself. It was my third Games and I didn't know if I'd ever be back to the Olympics, so I really just wanted to enjoy it. And I was able to do that. I felt zero pressure, I was never nervous. I think it was the most enjoyable race I've ever been a part of, and because of that, because I wasn't over-trying, I got to the finish and I was like 'wow, maybe I should've tried this a long time ago.'
Do you have any big projects in the works or goals in mind? Is Pyeongchang on your radar?
Hamlin: It's definitely on the radar, but I'm not committing to another four years and I'm definitely not saying no. I'm definitely back next year for sure, and then I think it'll be kind of a year to year assessment to see if I'm still healthy, if I'm still competitive. I definitely wouldn't be opposed to sticking it out, so I'll have to see what life looks like, what's going on. It's kind of up in the air.
Back in January, I asked Meryl Davis and Charlie White if they'd do "Dancing with the Stars," and now they're actually competing, so I'll ask you: would you ever consider doing that show or any reality show if they wanted you?
Hamlin: I definitely would, actually. I've been asked about the "Dancing with the Stars" one. I don't know how far I would get, but I think it would be fun and entertaining for the country because I'm not the most graceful person in the world. I also think "Amazing Race" would be really entertaining. I feel like I'm pretty travel-savvy. Either that or it could be a disaster because I'd find out I'm really not.
I like the finish up my interviews with a fast five, which are five quick, relatively painless questions designed to give fans a few little-known details about your life.
Favorite lip care?
Hamlin: I don't go very far without ChapStick or Blistex. I have to put one in the pocket of every pair of my snow pants.
The last book you read?
Hamlin: "The Monuments Men."
Dream car?
Hamlin: I really want an old school Volkswagen Beetle convertible. That'd be, like, prime. Or a hard top with a safari rack on top, that'd be really fun. Or an Audi Q7.
Best vacation spot?
Hamlin: Kauai, for sure. I really love Hanalei. It's low-key, it's quiet, it's chill, laid back.
Celebrity crush?
Hamlin: It was funny, last year my mom and I watched the entire Masters because Adam Scott won and it was pretty fantastic to watch him play golf. So I think he is my newest celebrity crush. But other than that, it's always tough to answer that because I feel like I won't think of anyone and then I'll watch something or see a movie and think 'oh gosh, that's definitely it.' But we'll start with Adam Scott the golfer.

Final Stats
Final Box
LOVES PARK, Ill. - Northern Illinois could not hold on to a 6-5 lead in the seventh inning that was established by Jordin Hood's (Hawthorn Woods, Ill./Lake Zurich) second homerun of the game as UW-Milwaukee rallied for two runs in the eighth to claim a 7-6 win on Tuesday night at Road Ranger Stadium, home of the Frontier League's Rockford RiverHawks, in NIU baseball's first ever game in the Rockford, Ill. area and the three-year-old stadium's first Division I contest.
"It was a great experience," said NIU head coach Ed Mathey. "I think the kids really enjoyed coming out here to Rockford. Josh Olerud and the whole RiverHawk management staff has been great in setting this up, promoting it, making us feel at home, and rolling out the red carpet for us. We are very thankful for it. Hopefully it is something that they find valuable and want to look to do again because we would love to do it."
The fateful eighth for the Huskies (17-33) started with a lead-off double by Tim Patzman off NIU reliever Zach Oates (Wheaton, Ill./North), who then walked the next batter Shawn Wozniak. After Shaun Wegner failed to get a sacrifice bunt down, pinch-hitter Paul Hoenecke, who burned NIU with a three-run game-winning homer in the sixth inning in the last game against the Huskies on April 28, delivered an RBI double to center off Tom Zelasko (Lansing, Ill./Mt. Carmel) to knot the game 6-6. Then with Cole Kraft batting, a passed ball by catcher Justin Behm (Downers Grove, Ill./North) allowed Wozniak to score the game-winning run from third base. Zelasko would then get a pair of grounders to escape the jam, but NIU was unable to mount a rally in its final two at-bats to give the Panthers (23-25) their third straight win against the Huskies.
"Their pitcher Nate Caldwell did a nice job in this game," said Mathey. "We saw him earlier this year and got to him pretty quickly, but he came out and threw the ball well tonight. I'm only disappointed from the standpoint that a couple of the mistakes we made ended up being the difference. We had a runner picked off and didn't throw him out and then gave up a few walks, passed balls, and had a balk. They had a couple chances to run away and hide early, but Jake Hermsen limited the damage. He did a nice job of battling out there. We just made enough mistakes not to win the game."
Cameron Amsrud (5-1) earned the win in relief after recording only a perfect two outs by getting the last batter of the seventh and the first of the eighth, while Craig Meier nailed down the win for his eighth save of the season by pitching the last 1.1 innings in flawless fashion with a strikeout. Panther starter Nate Caldwell threw 5.1 innings with six strikeouts, giving up two earned runs on four hits and three walks, while he had a perfect game through three innings and faced the minimum through 4.1 frames.
Oates (0-4) took the loss for NIU after allowing two runs, one earned, on a hit and a walk with one strikeout in 0.1 innings. Huskie starter Jake Hermsen (New London, Wis./New London) escaped a few jams with minimal damage in four innings of work with three strikeouts, surrendering three earned runs on seven hits and three walks.
Josh Groves led the Panther offense with two hits and four RBI, while Patzman went 5-for-5 with two doubles and two runs. Andy Gerhartz also added a perfect 3-for-3 night with two runs, a steal, and a walk.
Hood led the Huskie offense with a career-best five RBI on a three-run homer in the sixth that cut the NIU deficit to 5-3 and a two-run shot in the seventh to put the Huskies up 6-5, giving him a team-high and career-best nine homers this season. Additionally, Alex Jones (Kansas City, Kan./Piper) went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run.
"Jordin has been a very good hitter for us for a long time," Mathey said. "It was great to see him up in the batter's box with a chance to do some damage because there have been a couple times this year where we have left him in the on-deck circle when we were on a charge. It was great for him to come through for us a couple times. He really swung the bat well tonight."
The Huskies finish their regular season this weekend with a road trip to Kalamazoo, Mich. to face Western Michigan (13-33, 8-16 MAC) in a three-game set with contests on Thursday at 2 p.m. CT, Friday at 2 p.m., and Saturday at 12 p.m.
Huskie Notes
- Dave Reynolds (Orland Park, Ill./Sandburg) has a seven-game hitting streak.
- Hood is the third Huskie (Justin Behm and Matt Behren) to hit two homers in a game this season and has done so three times in his career. He also tallied his team-leading 22nd multi-hit game of the season.
- Jones has multiple hits in five of his last seven games, 17 overall.

Lakeland Animal Shelter plans for expansion
June 16, 2011
Delavan Township— Lakeland Animal Shelter took another step toward expansion.
Last month, the Walworth County Board reviewed and approved the report of the County Zoning Agency for rezoning about 3.14 acres of land currently owned by the Hold Your Horses boarding ranch to make way for expansion of the Lakeland Animal Shelter.
The rezone covers only part of the 10 acres the shelter is planning to buy. Purchase of 10 acres from Hold Your Horses is pending, said Kristen Perry, director of Lakeland Animal Shelter.
The next step is to close on the deal and then raise capital funds to pay for and maintain the expansion, she said.
The shelter's fundraising goal is $6 million, Perry said.
Perry said Lakeland is being careful about budgeting for the new building. The shelter has to not only finance new construction, but also to cover the increased costs of operating the larger facility.
The shelter board of directors has been aware of the need for a new building for several years, said Perry. As the county's human population grows, so does its population of misplaced and unwanted pets.The new shelter will increase by nearly 10-fold, from the existing 2,800 square feet to between 23,000 and 25,000 square feet.
The current facility will be repurposed for large animals, Perry said.
Lakeland's main building is more than 30 years old and has been adapted over the years, Perry said. Shelter staff took human space and redesigned it for the animals.
In fact, nearly all the interior space at the shelter is now devoted to the animals the shelter cares for.
If anything, the expansion will also provide more room for its human staff of 21 full-and- part time employees, and 50 to 60 core volunteers.
At any one time, the shelter holds 40 to 60 dogs and 200 to 300 cats, Perry said. That comes out to about 2,500 animals a year. About 75 percent are strays, while another 25 percent are owner-surrendered. Right now, it costs about $700,000 a year to operate the shelter.
"We're grateful to have a donor base that has remained loyal all these years," Perry said.
In 1978, the Walworth County Humane Society was created as a nonprofit, tax exempt organization. In 1985 the name was changed to Lakeland Animal Welfare Society (LAWS).
Lakeland Animal Shelter is owned and operated by Lakeland Animal Welfare Society.
The facility is three miles south of Elkhorn on Highway 67, and it is the only animal shelter in Walworth County.
Its doors are open to the public six days a week except on legal holidays. The shelter's policies are set by a board of directors.
The Lakeland Animal Shelter's goal is to prevent cruel treatment to animals. The shelter educates the public on the needs of pets, helps enforce laws pertaining to animal welfare and humanely euthanizes animals for which a proper home cannot be found.
About 75 percent of the shelter's operating budget comes from donations from individuals and businesses. About 25 percent of the shelter's budget comes from a contract with Walworth County to respond to stray animal calls and to pick up and house the county's stray animals.

During the first wave of Vale Tudo fighting that came to the USA, it was hard to know who was legitimate and who wasn't. There we all kinds of claims people were making. It was hard to tell the real from the fake. The first web site to try and validate Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belts was BJJ.org. The site had no authority to rank anyone. Belt listings were submitted by other enthusiasts & players. Through research and online policing the belts were verified. Mostly on respect and credibility of the black belt, the community mostly based it through competition and verifiable sources.
Soon it became a test of your credibility on the mat. If your belt was recognized, you were legit. The entire Gracie family geneology was drawn out, scrutinized then verified as accurate as the family tree. The first BJJ site on the internet, BJJ.org became know & recognized world wide as the reference guide. As you can imagine this soon became a lot of work.
The torch was later passed from BJJ.org to OntheMat.com. As BJJ grew requests for belt registration got overwhelming. For the last four years OntheMat has hosted the belt database & Gracie family genealogy. But, our technology could not keep pace with the sports growth. We couldn't list everyone's belt rank and keep it updated properly.
As the sport of BJJ has grown world wide so have the demands on The OTM Belt Database. To meet those needs, we have created a community to continue the unlimited growth of the belt database and continue the self policing our community is know for.
Its Very Easy! Click here to watch a video tutorial.
Or, follow these simple directions.
1) Join up Create your profile here. (If you were already listed in our belt database, bought something off our site, or fought in an event we sponsored, you may already have an account set up for you. Just request you new password here.)
2) Then click on your profile tab to list your belt rank, join your school group, add your own pics or videos, or link to videos already in our video database (over 2000 videos and growing).
3) Then invite your training partners, team mates, and instructors to join the community.
Our goal is to provide the sport with a way to grow globally and the world to track the rankings of all its players. We have compiled the largest list of Red, Black, and Brown Belts in the world. You can now trace your History in the art all the way back to Japan, and then some. Each click through the belt database take you deeper in to your roots.
We have built the foundation and add some rooms but it is really up to you to fill in your BJJ History here.
Know Your History On the Mat!

Wireless WEP Hacking with Backtrack 4

- Rate: Please rate this video Views: 275 Downloads: 109
This is a video tutorial on the very basics for cracking a WEP key.
There are several tutorials online but after following them and playing with them, I found out why they never worked for me.
I like to continue running the command "aireplay-ng -1 1 -a xx:xx:xx:xx:xx -h xx:xx:xx:xx:xx wlan0" I find by keeping a steady authentication with the access point it allows me to get packets and by using them with the command "aireplay-ng -5 -b xx:xx:xx:xx:xx -h xx:xx:xx:xx:xx wlan0". Each time the command is run and it reads packets it will ask you if you would like to use it. Just keep saying yes. Keep making sure you do this, especially if the access points are further away. By doing this you will get less errors while running the commenand "aireplay0ng -1 1 -a xx:xx:xx:xx:xx -h xx:xx:xx:xx:xx wlan0" This will cause traffice and you will notice that if you look at your window from running "aireplay0ng -3 -b xx:xx:xx:xx:xx - xx:xx:xx:xx:xx wlan0" the ARP Replies will start increasing giving you proper #Data from your Airodump.
If you notice that you are over 10,000 in your #Data but after running aircrack-ng you are still not able to obtain the key, there can be several possibilities. If the network is set to a 64-Bit encryption then it will take a lot faster to crack, meaning if you have about 15,000 for data, it should work. 128-Bit networks can usually be cracked with about 30,000 Data.
You can wait until the #Data reaches 30,000 if you like and open 2 more consoles and have aircrack-ng crack 2 encryption levels at the same time, increasing the time of your hack. Here is the two commands:
Shell 1: 64-Bit encryption
aircrack-ng -b xx:xx:xx:xx:xx -n 64 file-01.cap
Shell 2: 128-Bit encryption
aircrack-ng -b xx:xx:xx:xx:xx -n 128 file-01.cap
I used this wiith Backtrack 4 from Remote-Exploit
I am only learning, and I am still new. I hope you enjoyed!
