After a bit back and forth with configuring Drupal and nginx to work together, I've come up with the below configuration for a site. It works well, both with private and public file systems. However, as I am fairly new to nginx I'd like to hear if there is something with this configuration that I should change (for
Please note! I'm aiming towards getting feedback on a general purpose Drupal configuration. That is, a configuration which others who are trying out Drupal + nginx can "copy paste" to get up and running.

Noodles have always been a comfort food for many, including me. What feels and taste more delicious than a hot and spicy bowl of fully cooked noodles in a cold day or a day that you just feel down? Noodles seem to have the magic power of healing, comforting the soul and warming up the body. Instantly.
Mie Sedaap Supreme – Chicken Onion Flavor Noodles are a product of Indonesia. They are made with wheat flour, salt, and thickener. Looking at the nutrition facts: they have 330 calories per serving portion of 70g. Fat is 14g, sodium 1390mg per serving, carbs 43g, and protein 7g. Noodles are not calorie-free, often full in carbohydrates and salt but that's why everybody loves them.
The Indonesian noodles have a nice yellow and amber color when boiled. They are hot enough from the spices and definitely not for the faint. The chicken onion flavor noodles are well defined and you can taste some oil in the bowl. Other flavors include the Supreme Fried Noodle, the Supreme Soto Soup and the Supreme Kakaruk.
Mie Sedaap Supreme Noodles are of a good quality and come with an attractive texture. Eaten in moderation and on the cold days, they are perfect.

The president of the National Farmers Union says in order to get a farm bill passed it must not be split.
Some Republican lawmakers say the farm title and nutrition program of the farm bill should be decoupled, especially in light of the House of Representative's failure to pass a farm bill earlier this month.
But, NFU's Roger Johnson tells Brownfield Ag News, "Most of those folks who have historically argued for separating this and having different bills are really making it an argument for killing the farm bill and are making an argument to deeply cut nutrition programs."
Johnson says the risk is having two highly partisan bills come out of the split which he says would disrupt the "historical coalition between urban, rural and conservation groups."
"You need to have a bill that can be supported on a bipartisan basis or we're just asking for trouble longer term."
Johnson says there's intrinsic value in keeping them together. He tells Brownfield "For generations now, many of us (farmers) complained that people don't understand where their food comes from. Well, now you want to cut the connection between the nutrition bill in the farm bill because you say it doesn't have anything to do with farming? I mean, that's crazy. It has everything to do with farming."
Johnson argues that it would be impossible for the House to split the farm bill and try to reconcile it with the Senate-passed farm bill to get anything done.
One Comment
We don't need a farm bill to subidize the farmers. The main thing I see with the farm bill it keeps the young farmers from farming because the BIG FARMERS GRAB ALL THE FARM GROUND UP with what ever the cost because if they don't have time to farm the land they still get full coverage from the insurance that the working public has to subsidize them to pay most of the insurance costs

Date: December 7, 2012 - April 28, 2013
Time: 10:00 am - 5:00 pm, daily
Location: Catalina Island Museum
Contact: http://www.catalinamuseum.org/contact.asp
Few people realize the important role Catalina Island played in the defense of our nation during World War II
Following the attack at Pearl Harbor, life on Catalina Island changed drastically as it was transformed nearly overnight from one of the world`s most popular resort destinations into a strategically important Federal Military Zone. First Line of Defense explores recently declassified top-secret operations on the island, the radical changes in the daily life of Avalon`s citizens, and the importance of Catalina Island to the defense of the United States during World War II.
At the center of the exhibition is a video documentary, created by the Catalina Island Museum, using previously unseen footage of the United States Maritime Service (USMS) and their strenuous regimen of military training in and around Avalon. This color footage shows trainees on Casino Point with large anti-aircraft guns lighting up the sky with thousands of rounds of ammunition, swimming through 20-foot walls of fire and jumping from enormous towers into the water to simulate abandoning ship.
The documentary also shows the only known film footage of the Office of Strategic Services` (OSS) top-secret one-man submarine, known as "Sleeping Beauty" and the world`s first SCUBA device, called the "Lambertsen Lung," in action.
First Line of Defense also chronicles how the Maritime Unit of the OSS and their training operations on Catalina Island became the basis for today`s Navy Seals.

I built a new PC for my Dad a month ago or so. Here's the equipment:
1 x Intel Core i3-2100 Sandy Bridge 3.1GHz LGA 1155 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor BX80623I32100
1 x Western Digital Scorpio Blue WD10TPVT 1TB 5200 RPM 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Notebook Hard Drive -Bare Drive
1 x Crucial 4GB (2 x 2GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Laptop Memory Model CT2KIT25664BC1339
1 x ASUS P8H67-I DELUXE (REV 3.0) LGA 1155 Intel H67 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard
1 x OCZ Vertex 2 OCZSSD2-2VTXE120G 2.5" 120GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
1 x LITE-ON Black BD-COMBO SATA Model ihes108-29 - OEM
1 x Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM
Anyway, the install of Windows 7 went with no problems. The problem started when we tried to install applications on the machine. One example was Quicken 7. If I tried to install it, i kept getting a 1335 error on data1.cab. If I installed it on my home PC (Win 7 64 Ultimate), it installs fine. I thought it was the hard drive, as apps occasionally installed on the DDR. I replaced the hard drive. I also tried to install the app in a VMWare Windows XP machine and got the same error. I thought it could be the Blu-Ray drive, but when i created an ISO on my DVD drive at home and ran it on his PC, i got the same problem.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Could it be bad RAM? I'm out of the RMA window on the Parts, but i think i can still get the memory swapped if it is bad. I guess i could take one stick out at a time, install and see if the problem occurs.

Will Kendall Jenner appear in the buff in Playboy magazine? According to Celeb Dirty Laundry, Playboy wants to feature the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star in a centerfold in an upcoming issue. If this rumor is true, there is no doubt that Momager Kris Jenner is already negotiating big money in return for naked pictures of her 18-year-old daughter.
Celeb Dirty Laundry states that this information comes from "several sources" and there is a "huge" offer on the table. If rumors are true, it wouldn't be the first time one of the "KUWTK" clan has posed for the magazine. Half-sister Kim Kardashian West was featured in Playboy in 2007 in the midst of her sex tape scandal.
If Jenner does pose for Playboy, it won't be the first time she's taken off her clothes for a magazine. She recently did a topless photo shoot for Interview magazine and told E! she was really happy with how the photos turned out, stating, "Yeah, I was really happy with it. It was a fun shoot to do and it's nice when you absolutely just love something."
Of course, it's likely she will be taking off a bit more than her top for Playboy, but that won't bother her mother, who is a big fan of showing off Kendall's body. Jenner reportedly told Kendall to show off her breasts while on the runway at the Marc Jacobs fashion show during New York Fashion Week.
Momager Jenner also applauds her daughter's body, telling HuffPost Live that "she always looks remarkable."
"She has like, the perfect body, especially one that wants to be in the modelling business. I don't know, I got a lot of curves and I couldn't pull that off. But she always looks remarkable."
There is no word from her father, Bruce Jenner, on the possibility of his 18-year-old daughter posing in the buff for Playboy.

The controversy over what actually happened at "The Young and the Restless" that caused Michael Muhney's hasty termination wages on, and on Jan. 3, before the rumors became fodder for public consumption, Daytime Confidential shared former "Y&R" executive Maria Arena Bell thoughts regarding the "problematic storytelling" caused by current executive producer Jill Farren Phelps.
- Find more regarding Michael Muhney's firing from "The Young and the Restless" on my blog
Upon finding out that Michael Muhney had been abruptly let go from his role as Adam Newman on "The Young and the Restless", Maria Arena Bell told Soap Opera Digest that Muhney had brought "amazing dimension and complexity to the role". The former "Y&R" executive producer went on to say that the dark love story of Adam and Sharon was "derailed" last year. Maria Arena Bell also told Soap Opera Digest that she was not surprised that the show would "look for a solution to their problematic storytelling decisions."
Mark Perigard of The Boston Herald best summed it up when he said called Jill Farren Phelps the "Madame DeFarge" of daytime.
"The longer [Jill Farren Phelps] is at the show, the more heads roll, and the exodus of top talent at this CBS serial has been astonishing."
Jill Farren Phelps was at the helm of Santa Barbara, Another World and Guiding Light when the soap operas were cancelled. Many believe Phelps to be the kiss of death to soap operas.

Ombre Mermaid Party for Sophia turning 4! (50 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Sophia's Birthday was the very first birthday I had every planned for her! Due to her obsession with The Little Mermaid I wanted to throw her a mermaid party but without the cartoon decor, I wanted to make this unique and special. Right away the inspiration began on sequins, ombre, and the colors teal, coral and gold. Her invitation was the entire inspiration for the party. This was even translated into the cake detailing as well. I made custom princess goody bags for the girls and pirate goody bags for the boys, I also had custom made t shirts made with each childs name on them embroidered due to the fact that there would be chocolate crafting at the candy store where it was held. For the adults I also had a screen printing company make Sophia her own logo and furnished all the family adults as well as all of the toddler guests with their very own signature Mermaid party logo tee inside their goody bags, these were teal and had a white logo design. Lastly Ariel The Little Mermaid made her very own appearance! She sang, and read books with all the children, took pictures and even crafted chocolate with Sophia she was amazing!

Says Brittney: "I know i'm kinda late but my mom's birthday is on April Fools Day. I normally would have a gift for her by now but i feel like i've gottten her every gift on this planet from jewelry to gag gifts. I want something unique but just cant figure out what... any suggestions? please help!"
Hi, Brittney, this is Marian - and wow, you weren't kidding. When it comes to ordering online, you're getting into expensive shipping territory, so the following list includes some things you might be able to find in brick-and-mortar shops in your area too.
If you've never gotten her a lamp before, how about this 1) On the Square table lamp from Possini ($150)? It's handsome, unusual, and the line is carried by Lamps Plus. While you're out, you could pick her up a 2) wooden croquet set ($48) from Anthropologie, if she doesn't already have one of those, and/or a 3) pink Nintendo DS ($130) from Toys R Us, if she doesn't already have one of those.
You've probably already given her quite a few movies, but 4) Shakespeare In Love ($10) is a fun and slightly random choice, and although you're not likely to find this 5) Eric Carle Blue Horse print ($15) anywhere but online, it's nice to look at in and of itself and would be a touching choice if she read his books to you when you were little. I'll wrap up with another gift you probably haven't given her yet: 6) a hot air balloon ride. I don't know what there is along those lines in your area, but if you're facing a time crunch, you should at least be able to make the reservation (for a future date) in time.
Good luck, Brittney, and happy birthday to your mom!

Just a quick catch-up on the recent transactions in the minors… many were tweeted yesterday:
P Brad Meyers placed on 7-Day DL retroactive to July 1
P Carlos Martinez assigned from Harrisburg
P Ross Detwiler called up to Washington
OF Bryce Harper assigned from Hagerstown
P Sammy Solis assigned from Hagerstown
IF Justino Cuevas placed on 7-Day DL
IF Jose Lozada activated from 7-Day DL
P Matt Swynenberg activated from 7-Day DL
OF Chris Curran assigned from Potomac
C Jeremy Mayo assigned from GCL
P Christian Meza assigned from GCL
P Pedro Encarnacio assigned from Auburn
P Patrick Arnold assigned (on Hagerstown 7-Day DL)
Before folks get their panties in a bunch about Meyers, this is a less-opaque paper move related to the placing of Collin Balester on optional waivers. Likewise, I expect Carlos Martinez to return to Harrisburg once the merry-go-round stops later this week.
UPDATE: As predicted, Martinez's stay was brief. The Harrisburg Senators have announced the following:
"RHP Carlos Martinez has been transferred from Syracuse to Harrisburg and RHP Tanner Roark has been placed on the temporary inactive list."
11 Responses to "Catching Up On Transactions"
Glad to see you and "the other SD" back online. You provide a much needed service to NATS' fans in a very entertaining fashion.
How's about promoting some of the other deserving players from Hagerstown like Kelso and Freitas.
Damn, Meyers hurt agian, and Carlos Martinez to AAA, WTF he has sucked so far this year. At least give someone like Martin VanAllen a chance at the next level
I guess this question is aprop under this posting. Its that time of year again … time for Scott 'Boras' and his Crypt Kicker Five to do the Monster Mash.
Will Boras demand that all four of his clients: Rendon, Meyer, Goodwin, and Purke be placed on the 40-man. Or maybe just Rendon? But given Rendon's injury history is that a leg he can stand on?
Bill "The Godfather" Rhinehart (never called him that before. Thanks, Sue) wins EAL player of the week. Bill was also named to the Western Division roster for the 2011 Northeast Delta Dental Eastern League All-Star Game, also known as the NEDDELASG-WD.
http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110705&content_id=21433910&vkey=pr_l113&fext=.jsp&sid=l113. Rhinehart has also been assigned to the DH role as they make way for Harper in the outfield, 8 years his junior.
Has there been any announcements with regards to international signings?
Giving Knorr the night off from bashing since his off field problems yesterday, I respect that. Martinez on the other hand f****** sucks. How the hell did that guy get a pro contract? I hope you're right about him not being here for long.
So with the update & the assumed demotion of Balester, the top teams are more or less back in balance. 24+1 rehab (Gaudin) at SYR, 24 at HAR, 25+1 rehab (C-M Wang) in POT, but only 24/25 in HAG by my count.
Wondering if our guys in Hagerstown has any info on the status for either Oduber or Bobby Hansen?

Winter Weather Woes Continue For Much of the Area
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on January 25, 2014 @ 8:05PM
Created on January 25, 2014 @ 5:37PM
If you took a peek outside your window on Saturday afternoon, the entire area is being pounded with yet another round of snow., once again, that's causing a lot of travel headaches for drivers everywhere
This has many of you sick of the snow, and giving us your chilling reactions about it.
One man said the winter we're having now is the kind he misses because it reminds of what winters are supposed to be like around here.
"This reminds me of the winters back in the 1970's and 1980's. We haven't seen a winter like this in 15 to 20 years. I'm ready for Spring," said Tarek Abdallah, of Pittsburgh.
"It's definitely a lot colder this winter. I'm hoping Spring will be here soon," said Sue Marsh, of Philippi.
Also, if you think the snow is over, don't hold your breath. Snow showers are expected in the forecast over the next several days, so make sure you take it slow on ice and snow, and of course, try to stay warm.

APAR status
Closed as fixed if next.
Error description
You are trying to understand "Usage Types" within Modeler Entity Analytics - what values it can have and the effect of these. The current documentation does not explain this sufficiently.
Local fix
Further details on this option are available below: Usage Type in Entity Analytics -Usage types are arbitrary labels. -You can make up your own usage types in the Repository Configuration window. -Pretty much any string will do. We prevent you from entering spaces and invalid characters. -We automatically change what you type to upper case as it is entered. -You can have as many usage types as you want. -Usage types don't have to be meaningful, but it will help you when mapping later. -When you are mapping we do warn (in a red font) if you have mapped some elements with one usage type and others with a different one. Usually an error is displayed if you try to map two fields to the same feature.element. Usage types are a way of letting you map two or more fields to the same feature.element, and be able to match across them. For example if you defined two separate features: HOMEADDRESS and WORKADDRESS, there would be no matching between these. If one entity has a HOMEADDRESS which is the same as the WORKADDRESS of another entity, there is no matching - because it is a different feature. However, if you re-use a single feature with different usage types then the resolution understands that ADDRESS.WORK is the same as ADDRESS.HOME. You can re-use usage types for different features or have different ones; for example, HM and WK for telephone and HOME and WORK for address. It does not matter because we don't match across telephones against addresses; however, if you can be consistent it will help you to identify and group fields together later on. When we feed multiple entity types into a single repository, provided you are using the same feature, it should not matter what the usage types are. For example, if you define WK and HM as usage types of ADDRESS for the entity type COMPANY that should still be matched against WORK and HOME as usage types of ADDRESS for PERSON.

Skipping seamlessly between fashion design, illustration and product design, Meghan Roche embodies the versatility and range of modern artistry. Born and raised in Canada but now based in London, Roche has previously worked as a freelancer in print, surface design and graphics but is currently busy as the full-time Artistic Assistant to Christopher Kane.
What's hot right now?
In terms of fashion, I am constantly searching for unique clothing and accessories that force me to question my aesthetic and current tastes. "What's Hot" would probably be best translated into "What's New" in my mind. As for arts, I am currently obsessing over NYC artist Andrew Kuo, particularly his blog. This is art that is intelligent, modern and just so much more fun than anything else right now!
What's your must have spring wardrobe staple?
If we were talking about fall staples, I'd have to say that Christopher Kane Aqua Clutch Bags are going to top many lists. But this is spring, and I definitely believe in sunglasses as the ultimate spring/summer staple. LN-CC in London stocks the best brands and styles.
What are you looking forward to in London this summer?
I will be splitting my time between Canada and the UK this summer! Here in London, I'm looking forward to taking in all of the festivals and events going on in our neighborhood—Snoop Dogg headlining Love Box in Victoria Park cannot go unmentioned! In Canada, I will be spending some much needed time in the wilderness.

As rebels and Syrian Army forces continue to battle across the country, refugee camps sheltering some of the hundreds of thousands of Syrians uprooted by the country's brutal civil are losing the race against winter. The ground under white tents is soaked in mud, rain water seeps into thin mattresses and volunteer doctors routinely run out of medicine for coughing, runny-nosed children. To date Syria's civil war has killed more than 40,000 people.

We assume that $\Bbb k$ is an algebraically closed field.
Let $X \subset \Bbb A^n$ be an affine $\Bbb k$-variety , let's consider $ \mathfrak A_X \subset \Bbb k[t_1,...t_n]$ as the ideal of polynomials that vanish on $X$. Given a closed subset $Y\subset X$ we associate the ideal $ a_Y \subset k[X]$ defined by $ a_Y = \left\{ {f \in k[X];f = 0\,on\,Y} \right\} $. I'm reading " Basic Algebraic Geometry of Shafarevich" and it says that " It follows from Nullstellensatz that $Y$ is the empty set if and only if $a_Y = K[X] $ But I don't know how to prove this . Maybe it's trivial , but I need help anyway.
After knowing if the result is true here, I want to know if it's true in the case of quasiprojective varieties, but first the affine case =)
It remains to prove that if $ Y\subset X $ then $$ Y = \phi \Rightarrow a_Y = k\left[ X \right] $$ For that side we need Hilbert Nullstelensatz, but I don't know how to use it.

Think health before Easter and choose well
Getting to see your doctor and thinking about your health before the long Easter weekend is the message from Hawke's Bay District Health Board.
Warrick Frater chief operating officer said every Easter more and more people turned up at ED when they could have been enjoying the Easter break if they had seen the doctor before the long weekend.
Last year ED had nearly 300 people present with minor illnesses and ailments that might have been better off if they had gone to one of the medical centres open in Napier or Hastings, rung HealthLine or seen their GP before the weekend.
"Over the four day Easter holiday period last year ED staff treated and assessed nearly 500 people - this puts an enormous strain on resources and staff and it is frustrating for them when people turn up because they have forgotten to get their prescriptions filled and run out of medication.
"We are urging people to think about their health this week before the long weekend and check prescriptions are up-to-date and if you are feeling unwell think about seeing the GP and getting checked.
Mr Frater said for some people it was unavoidable and they ended up needing ED services.
"This is what ED is for - the clinicians are specialists in emergency care.
"Please help us by choosing well this Easter weekend and seeing a GP for minor accidents and injuries and getting medical help early."
Napier GP and chief medical officer of primary care Peter Foley also stressed the importance of ensuring people had enough prescription medicines to last them over the weekend.
Dr Foley said getting medical care from the right place was important and if people were feeling unwell they should get in to see their GP before the weekend.
A number of after hours medical centres including Wellesley Road Medical Centre in Napier were open and a full list of after hours GPs was available in Napier and Hastings by calling 0800 33 88 99. Or people could HealthLine on 0800 611 116 to talk to an experienced nurse for health advice.
"Lets all help keep the pressure off ED this Easter weekend," Dr Foley said.

College Hockey:UM-Delirium
Bulldogs Squander 3-goal Lead, Wrench Title from Badgers in OT
DULUTH, Minn. — When Minnesota Duluth scored on a power play to go up 3-0 at 16:11 of the first period, it seemed unlikely that a couple of hours later they would be scrambling in their own crease, desperately trying to prevent Wisconsin from burying an overtime goal to secure a third straight WCHA title.
But the Bulldogs (31-4-1, 24-4-0 WCHA) piled enough bodies in front of Jinelle Zauggs shot at an empty net to keep the puck out and play continuing until Haley Irwin could end the contest 6:32 into the overtime.
We took it up the ice, Heidi Pelttari had a great shot, the rebound came right to me, Irwin said. I knew [Wisconsin goalie Jessie] Vetter was to the right side, so I knew that I had to shoot left. I shot left and it went in.
When it was 3-0 and 4-1, I knew it was far from over, UMD coach Shannon Miller said. Any time you play a good team like that, you know that theyre going to come back.
Wisconsin (27-8-3, 20-5-3) got life from a power play goal of their own with seconds remaining in the opening period, and eventually got back to even just in time to force overtime. They took pride in their comeback, but this year, they were unable to take home the trophy.
Credit our players for never giving up, scoring with about 3 minutes to go in the game to tie it, coach Mark Johnson said. Had an opportunity in overtime; had a couple of real good opportunities in overtime to win it. And when you start the game, thats all you can ask for.
The first ten minutes didnt start the way I envisioned it starting, he said.
The Bulldogs, who hadnt won a tournament since 2003, were the more inspired team from the opening face off.
We came out with a lot of fire, a lot of energy, and a lot of hunger to score, Miller said. When the puck goes in like that for you, you get lucky too. We made some nice plays and did a good job, but you get bounces, and next thing you know, youre up three-nothing.
Frosh Laura Fridfinnson found the net first off a face off from Irwin just 5:24 into the game, and defenseman Myriam Trepanier doubled the lead a minute and a half later.
Saara Touminen dropped a pass to me, and I waited, Trepanier said. I knew Vetter couldnt see anything, because her defender was right there screening her, so I just waited for this hole coming up. As soon as I saw it, I shot and it went in.
Elin Holmlov somehow managed to find the net while prone, and the lead grew to three.
Saara took the shot, she said. I deflected the puck first, and then the rebound came right to me. The girl kind of hit me, so I fell down and managed to get it in.
I guess the stick-handling practice pays off.
When Zaugg banged home a rebound, it served notice that the defending champs would not go down without a fight.
The goal kind of sparked everybody, she said. You go into the locker room, and you were the last team to score, and you kind of have that fire.
Emmanuelle Blais whacked relentlessly at a puck that Vetter tried to cover, pushing UMDs margin back to three.
But Jasmine Giles and Zaugg connected a minute apart to get the Badgers within striking distance heading into the third period.
Zauggs second goal, her 86th in a Wisconsin uniform, gave her the most career goals in the programs history.
Rachel had a great shot from the point, and we had screens and what not, and somehow I was lucky enough to tip that one, Zaugg said.
Wisconsin dominated territorially in the third period, but with UMD playing conservatively, had a hard time getting pucks on net, managing only 3 shots on goal in the frame. Just when it looked like the hosts would be able to hang onto their 4-3 lead and send the crowd of 1,274 home happy, Meghan Duggan made a play for the Badgers.
The sophomore wing carried the puck through the Duluth defense, was hooked to the ice, but managed to get a shot on goal. Kim Martin made the save, but was unable to cover the rebound.
Mallory Deluce arrived before the delayed penalty was whistled and tucked in the tying goal.
Wisconsin " very resilient of course, but I knew that was going to happen, Miller said. I couldnt have predicted a 4-4 tie at the end of the game, but I knew it was far from over.
I think both the second and third period we really came out and really wanted it, Zaugg said. You could see by the way we were skating, the way we were shooting the puck, and going after rebounds and what not. I think that kind of carried over into overtime, and we were all over it. Had a few unlucky bounces, but nothing we can do about that now.
The worst bounce for Wisconsin may have been great effort by the Bulldogs, who denied Zauggs hat trick that would have won the game for UW with Martin was out of position.
In overtime, they had a really good chance at our net, and we were diving all over the place, Miller said. Haley blocked a shot, and then Heidi Pelttari, our defenseman, blocked another shot in front of the net where there was a scramble. And then moments later, we went down and scored that goal.
Johnson, like many in attendance, didnt understand why a potential icing went uncalled prior to the final goal, but he was gracious in defeat.
Congratulate Duluth on winning the game today, he said. Both teams battled extremely hard at different points of regulation and overtime.
UMD adds the conference playoff crown to the WCHA regular season title they claimed earlier.
You dont win championships and regular season titles without great goaltending, Miller said. We just have a very solid team starting with Kim Martin in net, all the way through our entire lineup.

This question already has an answer here:
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 on my server. It works fine, it's just that over time (usually a couple of days) the memory usage just grows and grows until it invariably runs out and needs to be rebooted.
It's running Apache, Samba, ProFTPd, Postfix, Munin & Webmin.
Is there anything that can be done to free up the memory that it doesn't need anymore?

Though having installed Diigo's Web Highlighter, highlights can be seen in Safari on iPad, they disappear if the web browser is switched to reader mode. It would be great if the highlighter function is compatible to reader mode as well.

Well it looks to be another beautiful and productive day in the Pacific Northwest. Sunny with temperatures expected to be around 80 degrees, it's Tracy's birthday, interest rates are low which has catapulted loan refinances and purchase applications, and I will be doing an interview with Brian Stevens from the "Think Big Work Small" show that will be posted on their site later this week.
There is no doubt all this activity will leave me feeling a little worn down by the end of the day, but as promised I have one more project that I have been working on quietly behind the scenes that should keep me energized throughout the days, weeks, and (god willing) years. I am officially releasing my Blink of a Moment Blog : http://blinkofamoment.com. This website will follow my personal journey to beat the unbeatable, educate and bring awareness to brain cancer (GBM), highlight a variety of charitable organizations, and of course graciously thank the Hughes Troop supporters who have impacted my life and the lives of many others. It will be done so in the spirit of what the Hughes Troop movement is all about… overcoming our individual obstacles with relentless determination, a positive attitude, and gracious heart for the blessings we have in our lives.
This website and the countless hours that have gone into creating it, would not be possible without a good friend reaching out and asking how he could help me spread the word about my story. I want to personally thank my long time friend Justin Yoshimura from http://xklaim.com for the hooking me up with a free website, hosting it, and answering the 1,023,872 questions I had about creating the biggest impact with design, tags, posts, etc…. Justin, or as I like to call him "Yosh") has been invaluable as this site was created. Please check out his website and give him some love for the tremendous patience and help he has given me this last month or so.
Please also take a moment to bookmark my new website, visit the links I have posted, and share the site with your friends and family. I will continue to improve and add more content to the site, as well as stay VERY active on the Hughes Troop Facebook page. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all your support and belief in my family and I. Time to go win the day!
Fighting Forward!!

College Hockey:Davies Scores Three Assists as Wisconsin Rallies Past Merrimack
Murray Has Goal, Assist
MADISON, Wis. — The expression and subsequent reaction from Wisconsin defenseman Craig Johnson told the whole story.
With his team suffering a layoff hangover and down a pair, Johnson, a reserve defenseman elevated for the weekend to UW's top line, made a simple scoring chance turn into the boost the Badgers sorely needed, and he knew it.
"I haven't scored since my freshman year, so that was pretty exciting," Johnson said. "That was a good momentum change for us. We picked it up after that."
Johnson's deflected blast from the top of right circle at 13 minutes, 41 seconds opened the floodgates for the suddenly-awake No. 7 Badgers, who proceeded to rip off four unanswered goals to get back in the contest, and got the game-winner from captain Ryan McDonagh midway though the third to propel UW over Merrimack, 5-4, Saturday.
The win puts Wisconsin (12-5-2) in the 7 p.m. Sunday championship of the 21st and final Badger Hockey Showdown for the fifteenth time, facing off against No.9 Yale, (who beat No.11 Ferris State, 6-1, in the other semifinal) — not bad for a UW team that experienced every possible range of emotions.
"There were moments that I wanted to pull my hair out, but you need to take a step back and see what we are dealing with," UW coach Mike Eaves said. "It's hard for people outside looking in to recognize what a difficult task it is to insert three players in your lineup when chemistry is changing. You've got to quickly try to find chemistry and combinations.
"We looked rusty, too many turnovers, held on to the puck too long, didn't get a shot for the first 6:30 of the third period, but that's a good sign for us (to win) with what we had to do with our lineup."
After skating in 40 games the previous two seasons, an influx of talented defenseman left Johnson on the sidelines for the first 18 games of the season. With defensemen Jake Gardiner and John Ramage competing in the World Junior Championship, Johnson, with one career goal to his name, was given the opportunity to find his niche.
"To have Craig step in right away to get a goal — it was good to see and the type of thing we needed to happen to get things going the way we wanted them," Eaves said.
Having 21 days away from competition and missing three key ingredients — Gardiner, Ramage and forward Derek Stepan (22 points in 18 games) due to World Juniors — led to a disjointed first period, filled with missed passes, borderline penalties and no continuity, that put the tournament hosts in a two-goal quandary.
Already boasting the fifth-best power play in the nation (converting at a 25 percent rate), Merrimack (7-9-0) needed little help on the man advantage, let alone having two extra skaters. Sophomore defenseman Karl Stollery made the Badgers pay for two penalties in a 52-second span, one-timing a crossing pass past junior goalie Scott Gudmandson into the back right corner of the net at 9:06.
The lackadaisical problem for the Badgers was compounded four minutes later, when center Justin Bonitatibus smashed home a centering pass from Jesse Todd to double the lead.
"We've been able to score goals this year, something we haven't been able to do in the past," Merrimack coach Mark Dennehy said. "It's still a process with our guys. It's a learning curve."
The momentum curve UW parlayed from Johnson's goal was undeniable. Getting its life back, freshman defenseman Justin Schultz sniped a shot from the slot at 2:50 to tie the score; forward Jordy Murray scored on a breakaway at 7:06 and junior Sean Dolan banged home a rebound at 13:22 to cap a stellar second period and give UW a two-goal lead.
The goal was especially big for Murray, who missed four straight games last month with a shoulder injury to close out the first half of the regular season and received a call from his father, Andy, Saturday morning telling him he was fired as coach of the St. Louis Blues of the NHL.
"He wasn't bitter; he knows how the business goes," said Murray, whose dad was trying to make it to Madison to watch him live for the first time since high school. "That's the way it goes. I think I gave him a pretty good game."
Even Gudmandson fed off the momentum, shaking off the two soft early goals to stuff center Stephane Da Costa, the top-scoring freshman in the nation, after he head faked to his left and tried firing one low right.
After Murray showed the Warriors how to properly execute a breakaway, faking his shot on sophomore goalie Joe Cannata only to pull the puck back and tuck it inside the right post, Gudmandson made another key save on a breakaway, stopping junior Francois Ouimet with less than three minutes to go in the period.
However, two more soft goals in the third period — a shot from captain Chris Barton bouncing off a UW defenseman's helmet into the net and a wrister from Da Costa — tied the score at four, reverting UW back to its first-period woes.
"That team didn't go away," Eaves said. "Give them credit."
This time, another defenseman took the igniting role. Only 21 seconds after Barton was whistled for hooking, his first penalty of the year, junior Ryan McDonagh, who experienced World Juniors last season, fired a missile near the blue line that beat Cannata glove side for the deciding tally.
"He got the game puck for scoring a big goal at the time that we needed it," Eaves said.
It wasn't a very happy 20th birthday in the other net for Cannata, who gave up five goals on 40 shots, and Merrimack, which couldn't convert a 6-on-4 in the final 95 seconds that would have saved the Warriors from Sunday's consolation game.
"We've got a resilient group of guys," Dennehy said. "We've got a belief system that we can play with anybody. We had the same feeling tonight. When you have to come back and you exert that much energy, we got a little leggy at the end."

How to help children get the most out of this site
To ensure that your child or student learns while enjoying use of this site, help them:
- Identify the skills they need to practice. (You might want to look at their report cards, or performance on assessments, homework or classwork. Find out what they are studying in class, or ask their teacher what they need to practice.)
- Select activities that support the skills they need to practice. Make sure they have not selected an activity that is too difficult or too easy.
- Move on to something new when they've learned all they can from a particular activity.
Additional notes:
- All of the activities linked are on other sites. Some were created by educators; Others are commercial. Some may contain advertising.
- Some use British English, so they may use different spellings such as the word ending -ise instead of -ize, or different word choices, such as torch instead of flashlight.
- The most important thing to watch for is that some activities many contain easy links to other games that are more arcade style, with less educational value. A good rule to use if you're using the site for educational purposes is: Play only the games listed on the site.
This can be checked by looking at the name of the activity they are using, and seeing if that is the activity listed on www.elcerritowire.com/learn . By using the Back button at the top of most browsers, you can step back from the screen the child is on to the link they took off the K-6 Resources site to see if they have strayed from the intended activity. Of course you can also look at the activity they are doing to see whether it uses the skill they are supposed to be practicing.
- Activities are organized by grade level based on the California Content Standards. Sometimes easier activities are included to provide review, and many activities include a range of difficulty levels. Sometimes you may wish to go to a lower grade level if a child needs additional review of basic skills before moving on to the skills targeted at their own grade level.
In moving to higher or lower grade levels, keep in mind that certain skills aren't covered at every grade level, so even if a child is working on activities at a higher grade level, they may be missing skills at their own grade level that they need to know.

Nozzle, Rocket. Solid Fuel, R.H. Goddard
This is a nozzle from a 1-inch solid fuel rocket which U.S. rocket pioneer Robert H. Goddard made during 1917-1918 for the U.S. Army as a weapon during World War I. The spiral grooves on the nozzle caused the rocket to rotate during its flight thereby helping to counteract deviations in its flight path and making it more stable in its flight.
A trial was later undertaken at the Army's Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Aberdeen, Maryland, on 6 November 1918. However, the following day the armistice was signed that ended the war as well as the Army's interest in this project. In 1921 Goddard switched to liquid propellants. This nozzle was donated to the Smithsonian by the Guggenheim Foundation for the Promotion of Aeronautics in 1985.

It's that special time of year—not the holidays, obviously, but the time of year when you really just don't know what type of weather you're going to have. It's freezing and drizzling one day, and 80 degrees the next—how's anyone supposed to keep up? You may have your flip flops on as you're reading this and think it's a little batty to shop for coats, but chances are, sometime in the next week or so, you'll be going back to that warmer jacket and bundling up. We noticed this week that almost every place we love to shop has outerwear on sale—and because we love a great sale, and we know you do too—let's talk about weathering the weather in style.
There have been several exciting new coat trends to emerge this year, and sale time is the best time to dip your toe in new trends. Think bubbly bombers and shearling aviators, sleek camel coats, mega-hot military styles, and our favorite—the oh-so fresh and cute cape coat.
We're tagging on our top three this time around—but we've been crazy about all of the above this season. Thank goodness there are so many days in a year—who can choose just one?
Take a peek at our picks and let us know what you've been hankering for:
Es-Cape. Ordinary is, well, just so ordinary. Get away from the expected this year and reach for the adorably avant-garde in the form of a clever cape coat. Tell me you don't love the title of "trend-setter". We fell for this perky plaid coat from Macy's at Westside Pavilion ($54.99 on sale now).
Parka Perfection. Looking for a picturesque look for your around the town shopping or casual lunch dates? Pick a parka and bask in cool understated style—these are the "oh I just threw this on" effortless pieces that lend to the air of being collected but never fussy. We adored this version from Banana Republic at Los Cerritos Center ($175).
Bombshell. Move over Maverick—you're not the only one that is smokin' in high-flying style. Choose a cropped leather bomber jacket or a shearling aviator and make a memorable trend maneuver. We vote for this shearling jacket from JCPenney at Lakewood Center ($98.99 down from $330).

Juno noticed how all combat drones seemed to be leaving towards the town.
"This is our chance, there are three artifacts in there. Secure one each of you and I'll secure the last. Be careful for the sentry drones inside who will surely be guarding them, they're larger oponents with heavy physical and anti magic fields", Juno said as she went inside the temple. There were indeed 5 sentry drones.
Juno lept forward. "Scythe form"
Juno began to slice through the sentry drones with her attacks. But each drone was powerful so they went down with a few hits.
Shana and Illya arrived at the outskirts of town and saw a young girl lying on the ground. Illya raced towards her and looked at her wounds. She wasn't hurt badly, Illya made a healing bubble spell so she would be recovering slowly from the wound as long as she stayed inside.
"That must be Hizuni, Kai's imouto", Shana said and Illya nodded in acknowledgement. Suddenly two figures appeared on the ground before them. One was a woman in a red leather suit carrying a Great sword and the other was a man in a brown cloak and a black vest carrying a rapier sword.
"Finally we meet", the man in the brown cloak said. "I am Kreik, the fencer".
"And I am Alyssa, the destroyer", the woman said.
"What do you want? Are you with the mage?", Shana asked readying her staff.
"We are here to dispose of you", Kreik said at Illya and then looked over at Shana. "But you, we want you to come with us. Please don't put up a fight."
Shana looked at them both a bit puzzled.
"What do you want with me?", Shana asked.
"Those questions will be answered in good time", Kreik said.
Alyssa then readied her sword and went over to Illya who still had Hizuni in her arms.
"You are not needed, good bye", Alyssa said as she swinged her great sword to Illya but it only met Shana's round shield.
"Destiny Cannon!", Shana said and her staff fired the beam of energy sending Alyssa flying backwards and onto the ground.
"Just as we expected, you're pretty strong", Kreik said and readied his rapier. "But are your eyes fast enough to see this...".
In a flash Kreik seemed to teleport and with the hilt of his sword he hit Shana on the back of her head as she tried to turn around effectively knocking her out. Illya put Hizuni on the ground and charged at Kreik who put Shana's small body on his shoulder and blocked Illya's incoming strike.
Alyssa then got up and raced to attack Illya who had to get out of the way and jumped back to avoid her attack.
"Get out of here Kreik", Alyssa said.
"I'll be counting on you Alyssa", Kreik said as he flew away with Shana on his shoulder.
Illya activated her flying magic and raced after him only to be stopped again by Alyssa.
"Get out of the way! Holy Light Buster!", Illya said as she fired a giant beam of light towards Alyssa but blocked it with her shield. She then turned to Illya.
"Sword Pierce!", Alyssa said and launched herself towards Illya who defended with her bubble shield.
"Buster form", Illya's device said. "Holy Light Buster!". This time she fired a much bigger and even more powerful form of her attack, Alyssa's shield did not withstand the energy and broke. She was sent flying towards a rock and took the blow fully.
Kreik and Shana had disappeared. Illya looked over to Alyssa who was lying on the rock coughing up blood. Her arms and legs were broken.
"Where did he take her?", Illya asked her, her expression cold unlike she always was.
"To... fulfill... her... true... destiny... pandora... will... rise", Alyssa said and drew her last breath.
Illya fell to her knees. She had failed to rescue her little sister. No. She would not fail. She would get her back no matter what. As Kai fought for Hizuni, Illya would fight for Shana. No one would get in her way. Illya went back to Hizuni calling forward Asuza so she would take care of her.
A few minutes later the transport arrived and Asuza began tending to Hizuni's wounds. They waited for her to come back to her senses and Illya gave her a smile, it was a bit forced as she was containing the anger she felt towards herself for letting those people take her sister away.
"Kai has lost control Hizuni. He must think you are dead. Is there a way to bring him back to himself, otherwise the amount of magic he is using right now will break his body, the tension he's building up will kill him", Illya said. She knew this much as the same thing happened to her at some point and it happend to Shana as well not too long ago.

Celebrate the change of seasons—And the flowers—In a new way
By Stephanie Georgopulos
Cherry blossom festivals have been an American staple since the early 20th Century, when the Japanese began sending gifts of trees to Washington, D.C., to commemorate their budding friendship with the United States. But if you're looking for a new way to ring in spring, hightail it to one of these non-cherry blossom festivals in your Chevrolet Malibu, a stylish nosegay of a car that stands out and turns heads in any crowd.
Biltmore Festival of Flowers
Asheville, North Carolina
Now through May 31
The Biltmore estate, built by George Washington Vanderbilt in the late 1800s, is the largest privately owned house in the U.S. Its Festival of Flowers is one of many events that open up the property to the public. If you're a flower lover, you don't want to miss this year's opportunity. For the first time ever, guests will be able to view the exotic orchids in the Winter Garden, which was previously off limits to visitors.
Orangeburg Festival of Roses
Orangeburg, South Carolina
May 3-5
This southern fete celebrates the blooming of South Carolina's roses with pageants, golf tournaments and airplane rides. Sound like fun yet? For a truly unique experience, sign up for the Blackwater River Race, a canoe and kayak competition that takes place on the Edisto, the longest blackwater river in the world.
Magnolia Blossom Festival
Magnolia, Arkansas
May 17-18
The Magnolia Blossom Festival's regular events can't get any better; sidewalk art shows, treasure hunts, big bass fishing contests, steak cook-offs and antique car shows are all annual highlights. To supplement this already plush lineup, the festival announced a new contest for 2013 called "Steak Your Claim," which asks competitors to hold onto a grill for as long as possible for the chance to win a $5,000 custom grill from East Texas Smoker Company. In addition, a Beatles cover band will be the headlining entertainment, with country act Dixie Tradition playing at the festival's opening night.
Blossom Music Festival
Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio
June through Labor Day Weekend
The Cleveland Orchestra Blossom Music Festival plans to give new meaning to "rite of spring" by partnering with Chicago's Joffrey Ballet for a production of the Stravinsky ballet by the same name. Also on the schedule is a "Pixar in Concert" night, where families can enjoy live performances accompanied by scenes from Pixar favorites like Toy Story and Finding Nemo.

Kagan Gets Surprise Stamp of Approval From Laura Bush
"I just like women to be represented in all parts of American political and civic life."
Though some (Newt Gingrich, for example) spoke out strongly against Elena Kagan on the morning-show circuit this morning, the Supreme Court nominee got an unexpected endorsement from ... former First Lady Laura Bush.
"I think it's great. I'm really glad that there will be three [women on the Supreme Court] if she is confirmed," Bush said on Fox News Sunday. "I like to have women on the Supreme Court I just like women to be represented in all parts of American political and civic life."
Not sure where this Laura Bush — giving both gay marriage and Elena Kagan the stamp of approval (in the same week, no less!) — came from, but we're certainly not complaining.
