Freshman midfielder Bobbi Eckler, a Union High School graduate, found the back of the net in the 24th minute for the Cavaliers, ranked No. 4 in NAIA women's soccer. Eckler split two Carroll defenders for a shot from 22 yards out.
In goal for the Saints was freshman keeper Jamie Carter, a former Papermaker who made nine saves in the game. The Cavaliers outshot the Saints 29-2.
Kimsey also had a pair of assists in Concordia's 4-0 win Sunday over Trinity Lutheran. The Cavaliers concluded their non-conference slate at 6-1-1, with all of their wins by shutout while outscoring their opponents 25-3.

Hit maker Kid Rock brings his "Born Free Tour" with very special guest Jamey Johnson to the Kentucky Exposition Center's sister facility and Louisville's newest multi-purpose arena, the KFC Yum! Center, this Friday, Feb. 11 at 7 p.m. The tour, appropriately named, is in support of his latest studio album "Born Free."
Kid Rock's music spans a variety of musical genres that include rap, southern rock, hip-hop and country. His latest record, "Born Free" provides a soulful sound from the star as he said it was made thinking of his hometown of Detroit and the issues facing the world from the point of view of a Detroit resident. The album includes the hit single and title track, "Born Free" as well as collaborations with Zac Brown, Bob Seger, Trace Adkins and Sheryl Crow. Rapper T.I. and country sensation Martina McBride worked closely with Kid Rock on the track "Care."
"Born Free" follows the 2007 release of "Rock 'N Roll Jesus," which debuted at No. 1, stayed on the charts for 100 weeks and became the biggest selling Rock album of 2008. "Rock 'N Roll Jesus" garnered the hit single, "All Summer Long" that was No. 1 in eight countries, solidifying Kid Rock as an international superstar.
Joining Kid Rock and his band Twisted Brown Trucker Band is very special guest Jamey Johnson who will feature songs from his recently released double-album "The Guitar Song." In 2007, Johnson was recognized by the Academy of County Music and Country Music Association for co-writing the George Strait hit "Give It Away." He earned Song of the Year in 2009 from the same two organizations for the hit single "In Color" off his "That Lonesome Song" album. Johnson also co-wrote the Trace Adkins' hit, "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk."
A limited number of tickets are still available for $89, $52.50, $42.50 and $29.50, reserved seating. Ticket prices include facility fee. Tickets may be purchased at the KFC Yum!

Nah. It's not my thing. I don't have anything against it for other people. Whatever they want to do, I'm fine with it. For me, it's really a self-image thing. Like, I'd rather have somebody go, "Wow, that girl has a big nose" than "Wow, that girl has a bad nose job." I'd rather have a comment about who I am than about something that identifies me as being ashamed of who I am.
Your next movie is a family adventure called Nim's Island. What interested you about that project?
I've always wanted to do a kids' movie because my kids can't see any of my films. They've seen Bugsy Malone, maybe half of Napoleon and Samantha, but I think that's it. This is really exciting. Not only can they see the film, but my older son can read the book.
How do your kids react to seeing you on-screen or on the set?
Initially when Charlie was really young, he didn't understand. He'd only seen movies of me when I was a kid, so he thought I went to work and became a child and then by the time I got home, I became an adult again. Then one time he came to the set of Panic Room, and everything was boarded up and everybody was wearing hammers. So he got this idea that I was in construction and I was building houses. I think now he's figured it out. Now he's trying to angle a way to be on film.
Let's hear his pitch.
"I want to be in movies. Why can't you get me a job?" Then I say, "You have to earn that. If you want to be an actor, you can start by doing a little theater." Then he says, "I'm not interested in that. I just want to be famous and see my face." Sometimes the paparazzi will come by, and Charlie will be like [Foster strikes a pose, throwing her arms out and making a funny face] and say, "Why can't we? Why can't I get photographed? I like it!"
Whose career path inspires you?
Katharine Hepburn had a really long career. I look forward to aging onscreen, to making movies when I'm 65, 70, to playing the parts of real older women. I'd love to have the career of Meryl Streep. But I'm not sure I'll want to work as much as she does in her 50s. [Laughs]
On Family and Maintaining Her Privacy
Let's talk about your ring.
This one? [Proffers left hand] It's Tiffany, an eternity ring.
You're wearing it on your wedding ring finger.
I am. I've always worn a ring. Even taking photos. Even on magazine covers. I don't take it off.
Don't you think wearing a ring like that raises questions?
Well, but that's my life. I thought about this recently: I had a nightmare the other night. Well, anyway….
C'mon! Let's hear the nightmare!
I was being interviewed by somebody, like an innocuous [press] junket thing. They were asking me questions about food I liked or whatever. Then they said, [in a high, innocent voice] "Have you ever written any homemade anti-Semitic cards?" And I was like, [horrified] "No!" Then she said, "Come with me," and I realized to myself, "You're so stupid. Haven't you ever seen that 60 Minutes thing where they ask you a banal question? You're not supposed to say yes or no. You're supposed to go, 'Well, that's interesting.' Because if they ask you the banal question, it's because they have some kind of document on you. And now you've got to go! And now the camera's going to follow you!" Then my dream was over.[Pauses and reflects before continuing]

Adobe Reader X True Type Font MINDEX Remote Code Execution VulnerabilityTPTI-12-04: April 18th, 2012
Affected Vendors
Affected Products
Vulnerability Details
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Adobe Reader. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the way Adobe Reader handles the Control Value Table 'cvt ' opcode stream in a embedded True Type Font. When processing a MINDEX opcode (0x26) the function reads an DWord from the TTF Stack, multiplies it by 4 and checks if the resulting size is small enough to fit in the remaining TTF stack space. It will then use the original value as a loop counter to copy data on the TTF stack located in the data section of Cooltype.dll. This can result in a buffer overwrite that can lead to code execution under the context of the current process.
Vendor ResponseAdobe has issued an update to correct this vulnerability. More details can be found at:

see also Doug Williams, Frank Williams, and Melvin Williams
As gospel groups go, few can equal the Williams Brothers in terms of longevity and popularity.
The trio dates back to 1960, when Leon "Pop" Williams founded the group. It has performed in some of the nation's more famous concert halls including: Madison Square Garden, The Apollo Theatre, The Grand Ole Opry, The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion and The House of Blues.
The group, which includes Melvin Williams, Doug Williams, Henry Green, and members in the back-up band, is still traveling across the country, presenting its distinctive gospel sound to enthusiastic audiences.
Green, who joined the group when he was 18, said the Williams Brothers have placed God first in their efforts for nearly four decades, and have no regrets in doing so. "Down through the years, God has always blessed this group," Green said. "No matter what we do, we put God out in front, and when you put God out in front, there's no limit."
The Williams Brothers have three Grammy Award nominations and numerous Stellar Awards to their credit, the most recent being the Grammy nomination in 2001 for "The Concert" album. This album also won the 2001 Stellar Award. In spite of the Williams Brothers' travels and success, the group continues to make music from its base in Mississippi.
The current Williams Brothers members can trace their own spiritual development to the guidance of their parents years ago, Green said.
"It goes back to our roots, to our mothers and fathers," he said. "We grew up in the South, in the country. Back then, no matter what you did on Saturday night, no matter what movie you saw or how late you stayed out, you had to go to church on Sunday morning. There wasn't any 'I don't want to' or 'I don't like going to church.' You went to church, and not only did you go to church, your parents took you to church. And when you got to church, you acted right."

Dell said on Monday it will recall 4.1 million notebook computer batteries because they could overheat and catch fire, in the biggest recall in its 22-year history.
The world's largest personal computer maker blamed the voluntary recall on lithium-ion batteries made by Sony Corp. (6758.T: Quote, Profile, Research) , which Dell said could in rare cases produce smoke and catch fire.
Reuters – Dell recalls notebook batteries
The recall covers all of Dell's major product lines, and may essentially cover all notebook computer brands the company ever sold between April 2004 and July 2006, all of which may or may not include Sony batteries.
Latitude, Inspiron, Precision mobile workstations, and the premium gaming XPS models are included in the list; and among the latter group, the models XPS, XPS Gen2, XPS M170, and XPS M1710 are included. A complete edition of the list was published by the CPSC this morning.

Women and children run for cover during Al Shabaab attack in Kenya
A video uploaded to YouTube on Sunday documents some dramatic moments from the terror attack at the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya.
Mobile phone video footage that was taken in a supermarket in the mall shows terrified victims cowering behind shopping aisles and under tables as gunshots and explosions are heard in the background.
One man is pictured on his mobile phone alerting someone that he believed "terrorists" were inside the mall.
Others are heard screaming and a member of staff is heard advising a customer: "Don't go out."
The Somali Al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorist group Al-Shabaab has claimed responsibility for the attack.

Public Works Contractors Entitled to Recover for Extra Work Absent Board Approval
On public projects, disputes frequently arise between a public entity owner and general contractor as to whether the contractor is entitled to be paid for project-related work performed beyond the original contract plans and specifications. In a decision published November 2, 2010 the California Court of Appeal, Fourth Appellate District, found that a contractor may recover for extra work despite the fact that the public entity's governing board did not approve such work, where the contract terms are inconsistent regarding whether the board or the board's authorized representative must approve of the extra work. In the case, Mepco Services, Inc. v. Saddleback Valley Unified School District, D055018, the School District argued that the contractor should have been prohibited from claiming that it was entitled to compensation for the extra work in light of California law, which generally holds that because of competitive bidding requirements, contractors are not permitted to recover on contracts entered outside the authority of the public entity's board.

"American Cancer Society guidelines on nutrition and physical activity for cancer prevention: reducing the risk of cancer with healthy food choices and physical activity." has been saved, and will be accessible from the My NGC page.
Go to My NGC
Alert me when this guideline summary is updated.
This is the current release of the guideline.
It updates a previous version: Kushi LH, Byers T, Doyle C, Bandera EV, McCullough M, McTiernan A, Gansler T, Andrews KS, Thun MJ, American Cancer Society 2006 Nutrition and Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee. American Cancer Society Guidelines on Nutrition and Physical Activity for cancer prevention: reducing the risk of cancer with healthy food choices and physical activity. CA Cancer J Clin 2006 Sep-Oct;56(5):254-81; quiz 313-4. [198 references]
Cancer, including types of cancer in which weight, diet and physical activity may play a role, such as breast cancer, colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, kidney cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, stomach cancer, and upper aerodigestive tract cancers
Children, adolescents, and adults seen in primary care settings in the United States
The Committee reviewed evidence from human population studies and laboratory experiments published since the last release of the Guidelines in 2006. The Committee also considered other comprehensive reviews of diet, obesity, and physical inactivity in relation to cancer. For many aspects of nutrition and physical activity, the most thorough reviews were the 2007 World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research (WCRF/AICR) report and the subsequent Continuous Update reports on breast cancer and colorectal cancer; other comprehensive reviews or meta-analyses that were published in recent years were also considered.
PubMed was searched from 2005 to August 2010 using the following criteria:
Not stated
Not applicable
In weighing the evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs), the Committee considered the findings in relation to the design of the trial, the specific question being addressed, and the importance of the trial results in the context of other evidence from human populations. Prospective cohort studies were weighted more heavily than case-control studies, especially when results were available from several cohorts. Population-based case-control studies with at least 200 cases of cancer were considered more informative than smaller or hospital-based case-control studies. Studies that adjusted for total energy intake, considered other dietary factors, and controlled for other known risk factors were considered more credible than those that failed to meet these criteria.
These Guidelines, updated in 2012 by the American Cancer Society (ACS) Nutrition and Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee, are based on synthesis of the current scientific evidence on diet and physical activity in relation to cancer risk.
These Guidelines are based on the totality of evidence from these sources, taking into account both the potential health benefits and possible risks from adopting them.
A formal cost analysis was not performed and published cost analyses were not reviewed.
This report was approved by the American Cancer Society National Board of Directors on August 5, 2011.
In addition to recommendations regarding individual choices related to weight control, physical activity, and diet, the American Cancer Society (ACS) Guidelines underscore what communities can and should do to facilitate healthy eating and physical activity behaviors.
ACS Guidelines on Nutrition and Physical Activity for Cancer Prevention
ACS Recommendations for Individual Choices
Achieve and maintain a healthy weight throughout life.
Adopt a physically active lifestyle.
Consume a healthy diet, with an emphasis on plant foods.
If you drink alcoholic beverages, limit consumption.
ACS Recommendations For Community Action
Public, private, and community organizations should work collaboratively at national, state, and local levels to implement policy and environmental changes that:
None provided
The type of evidence is not specifically stated for each recommendation.
Men aged 40 years and older, women aged 50 years and older, and people with chronic illnesses or established cardiovascular risk factors should consult their physicians before beginning a vigorous physical activity program.
An implementation strategy was not provided.
Not applicable: The guideline was not adapted from another source.

Lessons from Gordo the Dog
Life lessons learned from living with my best friend
Gordo & Mike Thompson
I can sit, shake, I can even fall over with a pointed finger and simultaneous "BANG!". However, the real lessons, the most important ones, are not the ones I learned from my Dad but the ones he's learned from me. I see life in its most beautiful and simple form. I think my job is to remind Dad of those things and I hope they'll prove to be great lessons for you too. So, Sit. Stay. Enjoy.

French tennis player Gael Monfils added a little flair to his game when he met German player Tommy Haas recently… it could be we need a little more of this kind of thing. As a bonus, I think Monfils won the match, though it was a pretty tight game.
(Thanks Michelle)

Although the passing of James P. Doyle ended the likelihood of any sequels to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, it was not the end of the Toronto Civic Light Opera Company's adventures in that marvelous land. You've already read of the two revivals of the show in 2002 and 2010. Another Oz project cooked up by Joe Cascone was still on the horizon, and one which had its roots in the very origins of his Wonderful Wizard.
One project the Toronto CLO had done in its history was a musical of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, utilizing songs from the many existing musicals of that work including Scrooge by Leslie Bricusse and A Christmas Carol: The Musical by Mike Ockrent, Lynn Ahrens, and Alan Mencken. Joe had wanted to do a similar thing for the the centennial of Baum's book, but better things were to follow with the collaboration with Doyle.
But Joe still loved all the Oz-related music which had gone before, and the idea of a presentation of it still appealed to him. When I asked Joe about the anthology idea, he told me, "Interestingly, David Haines (Wonderful Wizard's one and only Cowardly Lion) and I did just that a couple of years ago. I wrote and we performed a two-man musical revue entitled Songs in the Key of Oz, which represents virtually every musical Oz dramatization-- and even some bogus recordings of the story-- up until that time. We also recorded a live CD of the show. It was a big hit at a couple of Oz conventions, too."
Though your humble History of Oz Examiner has still to hear the CD, I can tell just by the reviews I've heard, some from people who saw them live, that the show is a hugely entertaining and even informative trip through the history not only of staged Oziana, but also of American musical theater and film. There are songs from the Baum - Tietjens musical, both of its sequels, and an unfinished Patchwork Girl of Oz musical, the MGM Wizard, The Wiz, the 1964 cartoon Return to Oz, the animated feature film Journey Back to Oz, Wicked, and of course the Cascone - Doyle Wonderful Wizard.
Someday soon I hope to deliver a review of the CD to you.

College Hockey:Sioux Stop Bulldogs
Two Teams and Wisconsin All Now Tied for Third in WCHA Standings
DULUTH, Minn. — Minnesota-Duluths potent power play didnt connect Friday night, and the Bulldogs didnt get a point from its top guns in an entertaining Western Collegiate Hockey Association showdown with North Dakota at the DECC.
When you mix in an impressive second period by the third ranked Fighting Sioux the result was a 4-2 North Dakota win before a crowd of 5,057, many wearing green. No. 12 UMD saw a three game win streak end.
Trailing 1-0 after one period, the Fighting Sioux scored the only three goals of the second period and got away from UMD. North Dakota pushed an unbeaten streak to 2-0-1, which was preceded by a three game losing streak.
In those three losses we got lackadaisical. We read too much into what was in the newspaper and the polls, said North Dakota sophomore winger Jason Gregoire, who had two goals. We got back to playing better. [Friday] we took care of the puck, we didnt take many penalties, we scored a power-play goal and we had all four lines rolling.
Duluth has a good, tenacious team with a lot of skilled players, who had chances, but after being down by just a goal after the first period, we figured we werent that bad off.
UMD, 6-3 at home, took a 1-0 lead at 8:32 of the first period when Drew Akins finished a 3-on-2 break at the right circle, getting past goalie Brad Eidsness.
In the second period, North Dakota led in shots on goal 16-5, while UMD took the only three penalties, and the Fighting Sioux found some energy after taking advantage of a turnover. UMD goalie Kenny Reiter looked to move the puck from behind his net and only found North Dakota center Darcy Zajac alone on the right side. Zajacs quick shot beat Reiter back to the net and it was 1-1 at 4:44 of the second.
Sophomore defenseman Ben Blood smacked a shot through traffic with 6:27 left in the period and the puck trickled underneath Reiter. On a power play, Chris VandeVelde made a deft pass from behind the net to Gregoire and it was 3-1 with 64 seconds remaining.
We came out flatfooted [for the second period] and it showed. We had a lapse, said UMD winger Kyle Schmidt. Much of the rest of the game, the effort was there and we felt we had a good third period.
In the final 20 minutes, UMD outshot North Dakota 16-7 (North Dakota led for the game 36-31), and Schmidts fifth goal of the season brought the Bulldogs within 3-2 with 16 minutes to play.
The ever-shifting momentum was on UMDs side, but Eidsness led the top-ranked defense in the WCHA for all games in thwarting two power plays. He turned away Schmidt with about five minutes left on a good save. Gregoire's second goal came into an empty net with 53 seconds to play after Reiter was pulled.
A lot of guys in our lineup gave second efforts. In the second period we moved the puck, did well transitioning and had time in the offensive zone. We took advantage of a mistake to get ourselves going, said North Dakota coach Dave Hakstol. But these were two good teams making good plays both ways.
Bulldogs Jack Connolly, Justin Fontaine, Rob Bordson and Mike Connolly were all held without a point and UMD was 0-of-4 on power plays after having a man-advantage goal in seven straight games.
When North Dakota scored its first goal, they went one way and we went the other. That ended up being the difference in the game. If you throw out the second period, it was a pretty even, said UMD coach Scott Sandelin.
UMD (9-5-1 overall, 6-4-1 in the WCHA) and UND (9-4-2 and 6-4-1) are tied for third in the WCHA with Wisconsin entering todays 7:07 p.m. rematch.

I thought I would spend time on my next several blogs answering questions I get asked frequently as a travel agent.
The first question that comes to mind is...should I get a balcony cabin on a cruise?
Let me throw two facts out there
1.Out of all the cruises I have been on or booked or anyone I have ever talked to who cruises, less than 1% would ever go back to an inside or oceanview after having a balcony cabin.
2.The number one reason I get from people who always book an inside cabin is: "We don't spend any time in the cabin so it isn't worth the additional investment."
Why are there two such contradictory statements on getting a balcony? Well, there will always be the group that money is the most important aspect and they will always book the least inexpensive options. That is their preference. But, for anyone who is looking for value as well as a good investment should consider booking a balcony cabin.
Here is a list of valued reasons for a balcony:
•You can order free room service and have a meal on your balcony watching the sunset or sunrise. (or anytime inbetween)
•The balcony can expand your space by about 100 square feet or more in most cabins.
•You can watch the morning arrival to your newest port destination in your pajamas, on deck.
•Enjoy a private area in the sun or enjoy a quiet reading area.
•Look over the side of the ship and see or listen to the ocean waves lapping, watch fish swimming or dolphins diving - very relaxing balcony nap ensues.
•Great place to wave at all the poor dudes that aren't cruising with you.
•You don't have to turn on any lights, just open the curtains and brighten your day - and open the doors for fresh ocean air.
•As long as the ship isn't in motion, it makes a nice place to dry your bathing suits. (Don't do it while the ship is moving as they will blow away!)
•If you are a smoker or like cigars, you don't have to find a designated smoking area on the cruise ship. (which can be very limited sometimes). You can smoke right on your balcony on most cruise lines.
•Wonderful place to have private celebrations with treats and champagne.
I'm sure there are other 'creative' ideas and uses for the balcony. Anyone who has an idea, email me. (Unless it's about serious romance on the balcony - I left that one out on purpose :)

Looking for permium over-the-ear headphones
I want to purchase some really premium headphones that are either over-the-ear or even on-the-ear headphones. My budget is $300. I was thinking of betting beats, but I know you can get much better sound quality from headphones that cost less...so I came to you, the audiophiles I don't mind how knowledgeable you are on sound and headphones, I'll be happy to check out your opinions. I'm looking for comfortable, attractive headphones with a great build quality, good isolation, tons of bass (without sacrificing performance n other genres), i would prefer headphones that aren't powered (e.g. i don't want beats studios or one of the Bose models that both require batteries to be used), and of course A PREMIUM SOUND. One last thing, I am willing to spend a little bit more than $300 dollars as I can wait for the price to drop or look for good deals.
Thanks in advance

A few questions. Are these for outside use, or only for use inside with the air conditioning on? Headphones that isolate well are closed headphones, and those tend to make your ears hot with extended use(especially if they have pleather earpads. Those with velour are less sweaty). Will these be powered by a home stereo or a portable? For use with a portable, something around 32 ohms would be best, while if it only for use with a home stereo, you might want to consider one with a higher impedance. The Beyerdynamic DT770 for example comes in 4 varieties, either 32 ohm, 250 ohm, or 600 ohm, or the older 80 ohm. I think the 32 ohm variety replaces the 80 ohm one. The 32 ohm DT770 is almost double the price of the 250 ohm one(at least in the US- $300 vs $170). Another interesting headphone to consider is the Sennheiser HD380 pro. I suggest these closed headphones for indoor use only, especially when it is hot outside. To wear outside in the heat, if you want great bass and great isolation, you should consider buying an iem.
$300 is a lot of money, there are lots of great sets to go for in that price rage. The main 2 sets that come to mind are the Beyer Dynamic DT770 Pro and the Denon D2000.
The DT770 Pro are the old school mainstay basshead headphones, the Denon D2000 are the newcomer that does things a bit differently. With the 770's you get a lot of feel from the bass, and the D2000's have less but overall the sound is a little more even, I doubt any DT770 owner would ever switch to the d2000's because of their bass. However bass driven music will always have the low end, and you will always hear it, the DT770 can go a bit overboard on some music the D2000 works better with more variety.
Both sets are extremely comfortable, although the DT770 have the edge in my opinion with the velour pads and they also isolate more. The D2000 feel more "Premium" with their metal and leather- the DT770 are the more "Professional" set with replaceable parts, and more rugged build.
The price on both hovers above the $300 price point, the DT770 can be got for a myriad of prices, anything from $170 to $320 and these are all basically the same headphone but technically different. The $170 ones will need a headphone amp, for most portable music players, the $200 versions will work fine out of most higher end players like Cowons, but may need a little amping and the $320 versions will work fine out of anything. The main differentiater on these headphones is how easy they are to drive, look for their Ohm rating. Large sized headphones are usualy from 20+ ohms and a decent player can usually do 20-80 fine, above that your probably going to need a headphone amp- but once you have one of those you can basically go to 600ohms and not worry about anything other then the battery on your amp running out The savings on the 80ohm versions could be a worthwhile risk, you'll still have enough money for a decent headphone amp if it doesn't work out, but like you said you dont want to be tied to a battery on your headphones and this would basically be the same thing.
Now I've personally seen both the most expensive DT770 and the D2000 at arround $250, heck I even bought the D2000 at that price- so the prices right now may not be ideal. Its still a better deal then a set of Dr Dre's. Although I will concede that if you can get the "pro" versions for a decent price they aren't bad- a decent price is $100 though so not much chance of that happening. Even though i've read some positive reviews of people buying them for that much off dealextreme, that's a bit more of a risk then I would want to take.
Anyway those are just 2 of my own personal picks. I dont have many others because I haven't tried all the possible other sets out there :P My views are about as biased as anyone's that's only tried a few sets out of a wider selection so take it for what its worth.
What is your use pattern? It's always better to ask what the best solution for the intended use is. You'll get better answers because people can recommend stuff you might not have though of. For example the "premium sound, basshead, " headphones for on the go use are different from the ones for home use.
Oh yeah, and who are you calling audiophile. That's just rude.
Feel free to read the guide in my signature.
I'd suggest starting from the $100 range. I find that much more reasonable than paying $300 for a pair of headphones when you don't even know what exactly that you're looking for. Even lower would also be great since you can find some decent quality headphones below $100 these days. Sound appreciation is an acquired taste - most people don't really know how much they're missing out on until they put on something slightly more expensive than their stock earbuds. From then on, it's simply buying different headphones to discover different aspects of sound and reading tons of reviews about them. Once you've had enough experience and knowledge, you'll have an idea of what you really want from a headphone. That's when you spend the big bucks to purchase something that you can fully appreciate.

The Sennheiser HD 600 is $315 on Amazon.com right now and is regarded as one of the best headphones under $1000.
Try the sennheiser HD280 pros, you just can't beat them at the price, and if you don't know what you really want out of headphones, i agree with mbag, start at $100.00 especially since you just can't go wrong with sennheiser, not above $50 at least. Beats are simply some of the best LOOKING headphones out there today, but senn's are among the best SOUNDING. The point of beats is to amplify bass, the point of sennheisers are to clarify and accurately reproduce sound.

When Lauren Graham was growing up in suburban Arlington, Virginia, her single dad had a standard response to his only child's endless questions: "Look it up. Everything you want to know, you can learn in a book." But on this rainy New York afternoon, the Parenthood star dashes into the library at the Greenwich Hotel and realizes at once that a lounge filled with reading material just won't do. "It's too quiet in here," says the actress as she sheds a pile of cold-weather gear—white knit cap, Catherine Malandrino quilted jacket, rickety black umbrella—to reveal a formfitting black Helmut Lang dress. Simultaneously, she offers an apology for showing up 15 minutes late, which she will later repurpose as a self-deprecating tweet: "Actressy things I said during today's More magazine interview: 'Sorry I'm late—I couldn't get a cab in this rain.' #actressy."
As it happens, Graham, 46, is fairly new to Twitter, which Ballantine Books asked her to join to help promote her first novel, Someday, Someday, Maybe, published this month. The surprise for her fans: Though on TV Graham is the Queen of Single Moms, bringing humor and heartbreak to her roles in Gilmore Girls and now Parenthood, her book is closer to her own past—a breezy, semiautobiographical account of a young actress's professional and romantic struggles (see excerpt, page 90 in the May issue, on newsstands now!).
In Parenthood, Graham's character, Sarah, is divorced and broke when she arrives at her parents' house in Berkeley with her two mopey kids in tow. They desperately need a home and so must deal with all the parents' issues, as well as with Sarah's three siblings and their mates, who constitute the extended Braverman clan. Playing a forty-something woman who has been rubbed raw by life, Graham gives a delicately nuanced and movingly authentic performance that critics stop midreview to praise. Take the shout-out from the New Yorker's Emily Nussbaum: Considering the episode in which Sarah's younger boyfriend suggests they have a baby together, Nussbaum lauded the actress's reaction as "a twenty-sided facial expression that should earn Lauren Graham a special Emmy."
The next Graham reviews you'll hear, however, will be from book critics. Now resituated at a corner table at Locanda Verde, a restaurant adjacent to the library and noisy enough to suit Graham's conversation requirements, she explains why she chose fiction instead of the standard celebrity memoir or a collection of humorous essays like Tina Fey's Bossypants. "It's sort of like, 'Who would be interested?' " says Graham, a lifelong bookaholic and Barnard College graduate who majored in English. Instead, she decided to peel back the curtain on what young actors experience by combining small, autobiographical moments with imagined details.
"I started from a kind of nostalgia and a relief at not living in that time anymore, that time of just starting out," says Graham, whose protagonist, aspiring actress Franny Banks, rents an apartment in a Brooklyn brownstone in the mid-'90s (as did Graham), was raised solely by her father (as was Graham) and constantly monitors the number on her bathroom scale. Regarding the autobiographical accuracy of that last detail, Graham, who has just vetoed the grated Grana Padano on the menu's salad, says simply, "I've been on a diet for 35 years." (Later, she tweets, " 'Can I get that without the cheese?' Actressy things I said today at lunch interview. #actressy.")
"I wanted to write about the tiny, tiny progress and the complete unknown of wanting to follow any impossible dream," she says. In her case, that dream entailed "time running out and being in a pursuit where no one is going to tell you to leave. Acting is the most bizarre profession. You can stay in it for years and not really be in it and be waiting for someone to give you an opportunity. It's like when I watch American Idol and see people who have been told to believe in themselves at all costs: It's not always a good idea."

Be deeply and uncompromisingly truthful. Never hesitate to express what you feel, even if it goes against the established opinion. Maybe at first, no one will understand you.

Music is a powerful thing, especially in movies. And as the main character says about halfway through the film, "That's what I love about music. All these banalities suddenly turn into beautiful pearls." But he isn't quite doing the movie, it characters, or its setting justice. Begin Again is by far the best-written film of the summer, if not entire year so far. Writer-director John (Once, Bachelors Walk) Carney has struck gold with some stellar casting, some excellent original (and not-so-original) music, and a cast of actors and actresses so perfectly suited for their roles, its as if they were written directly for them.
Mark (The Avengers, The Kids Are All Right) Ruffalo and Keira (the Pirates of the Caribbean series, Atonement) Knightley shine as a down-on-his-luck former big shot music business executive and a heartbroken would-be singer/songwriter extraordinaire respectively, who drunkenly meet one night in an overcrowded hole-in-the-wall dive bar in New York City. The varied stories of the people who have touched and continue to intersect in their daily lives add some realistic yet interesting spice to the already complicated situation they find themselves not only living in, but embracing fully and wholeheartedly. What ensues is one of the most unique stories of friendship, trust, teamwork, and love... lost, found, and rekindled.
Stars James (Gulliver's Travels, One Chance) Corden, Hailee (True Grit, Romeo and Juliet) Steinfeld, Mos (16 Blocks, The Italian Job) Def, Catherine (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Captain Phillips) Keener, and an surprisingly effective performance by Adam (American Horror Story, The Voice) Levine strengthen an already great movie. The only thing that might turn viewers off from the film is the believable and somewhat unpredictable ending. To keep this spoiler-free, it is easiest to simply admit that the ending might not be the ultimate feel-good warm and fuzzy feeling kind of wrap-up, but it, like the rest of the story, is an honest and true-to-life (and more importantly, true to the characters) closing sequence. It would be a shame to ignore the acting, but it would be an absolute crime to not acknowledge (and possibly even award) the work of John Carney in this amazing film.

Stock Upgrades: Barclays Tops the Premier League
Justin Sharon
Wall Street ratings agencies set the tone for today's stock market.
The English soccer season, which began way back in August, appropriately ends its nine-month slog on Mother's Day. That's when the
Premier League
will officially be won and lost. (Much as it breaks my heart as a lifelong Liverpool fan, it now looks like the latter for my side by the most infinitesimal of margins.) Yesterday, shareholders in the British bank certainly got their kicks, with its stock surging some 7.39% after the announcement of a restructuring initiative and attendant wave of layoffs.
Elsewhere, equities staggered to a split decision, with corporate America's most recent man of the hour being left in the dust by a stock fit for the next hundred years. Elon Musk -- who was
guest on a
60 Minutes
that was apparently all about Michael Lewis-- saw his
Tesla Motors
(NASDAQ:TSLA) implode 11.30%. This, even as
Twenty-First Century Fox
(NASDAQ:FOXA) jumped 6.54% after issuing impressive earnings. Forty-eight hours before the biggest day of the year for florists, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
Keurig Green Mountain
(NASDAQ:GMCR), which
just changed its moniker
, jumped 12.99%, and
Mondelēz International
(NASDAQ:MDLZ) -- which
surely should do the same
-- scored a broker boost 24 hours after advancing 8.18%.
Career Education Corp.
(NASDAQ:CECO), owner of
culinary schools
, cratered 26.27%. After such a horror show, the only thing that could get Mr. Market cooking again would be a movie called
, taking place in a food truck and starring Sofia Vergara and Scarlett Johansson. Yeah, right.
Like that'll ever happen
Today's quarterly earnings announcements include
Ralph Lauren
(NYSE:RL), and
Now let's analyze this morning's upgrades, a group that encompasses not only our aforementioned Barclays but also a suddenly back-in-favor social networking stock.
: Today's headline stock is taken to Add from Hold at Numis.
(NYSE:CVA): Barclays itself boosts this waste management name to Overweight from Equal Weight.
DISH Network
(NASDAQ:DISH): Shares get moved to Market Perform from Underperform at Raymond James.
FLY Leasing
(NYSE:FLY): The stock is upgraded to Outperform from Market Perform with Wells Fargo.
(NYSE:LPX): Longbow lifts LPX to Buy from Neutral.
Not the first upgrade of late
for this French telecom firm, now Neutral from Sell at UBS.
Tower Group
(NASDAQ:TWGP): Keefe Bruyette raises its rating to Perform from Underperform.
second analyst increase in as many days
for Twitter, today taken to Neutral from Underperform by Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Shares are, accordingly, currently trading up in what's an otherwise soft pre-market tape overall.
Vitamin Shoppe
(NYSE:VSI): The company can afford to buy a vowel after getting upgraded to Overweight from Equal Weight by Barclays. Its price objective also increases, to $51 from $49.

Computer security is getting increasing attention from both campus administration and criminals, so we all need to understand and fulfill our obligations. Here's what you need to know:
UCB Campus Security Page
Passwords should be more than 9 characters and include a
mixture of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and punctuation.
Sample good passwords:
Egb0y/grl/df! (every good boy
(or girl) deserves fudge).
Sh@ggy-d0g (shaggy dog).
If you need help thinking up a good password, ask any ACG staff.
You are responsible for protecting your passwords for all University systems. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- If you ever get a message telling you that you need to e-mail your password or fill out a web form in order to maintain access to a system (EECS, UC, bank, anything), it is almost certainly fake. Forward the message to acg@eecs, and we'll let you know if it is legitimate.
- Do not write any password down and keep it in an accessible place.
If you can't remember a password, then
- Ask us to help you construct a memorable password and useful
- Write down a hint that will enable you to remember the password, but that will not be useful to someone else.
- Ask us to help you construct a memorable password and useful hint.
- Do not share your password with anyone, in person or via email. Systems staff can do everything they need without having your password, and colleagues, workstudy students, etc. should all have their own passwords. If you need help sharing files or e-mail, ask ACG.
Information Privacy
The California law known as SB 1386 set up special regulations for personal financial information: social security number, driver's license number, and bank account or credit information. The best way to comply with this law is not to store this information on any computer. If you need this information from someone, ask them to tell you over the telephone and then shred any no-longer-needed paper notes when you are done with them. If you receive this information in e-mail, delete the e-mail as soon as you no longer need it. (You should also secure your paper files: lock file cabinets whenever not currently in use, and remove and shred documents that you no longer need to keep.)
If you have computer files with SB-1386-protected information that you must keep, please contact ACG so we can work out the safest way to do so.
Under Federal law (FERPA), student information is also protected. Whenever possible, do not send student id numbers and names together in email. If you must send them, they should be encrypted. One way to do this is to use an Excel spreadsheet with password protection; here's how or ask ACG for help. You can also upload a file to Box and share it. The campus has a contract with Box for cloud storage, and the service has been approved for FERPA-protected data.
If you work from a laptop or home computer, you *must* not have any files containing protected data on this computer. Work-related files should remain in your home directory (H:) or shared project space and be accessed from there. If you tell your mail client to "make messages available for offline use," then those messages are stored on your computer. This is more convenient, but it is not secure; don't do it on a laptop or home computer.
Laptops, in particular, are very vulnerable to theft. Do not store *any* confidential or irreplaceable data on a laptop. We have anti-theft cables that can be used with departmental laptops; this is far from a complete solution, but does help. Contact ACG if you would like one.
You are responsible for knowing and understanding the University policies that apply to computing and electronic data. If you have any questions, ask ACG.
General Online Security Tips
Here are some general tips and advice for online security from the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) and National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA). These may be helpful as you're dealing with your personal devices (computers, tablets, smartphones, etc.) and online services.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A grand jury has found no criminal wrongdoing by four Portland police officers who shot and wounded a man as they searched for a vehicle linked to a robbery.
In addition to that finding, the Multnomah County grand jury has indicted the wounded man, 31-year-old Jonah Potter, on two counts of second-degree robbery in a market holdup and four counts of menacing in connection with his actions before he was shot on March 26. He remains hospitalized with multiple wounds.
Police say Potter was shot when he got out of a car carrying what looked like a large black handgun. It turned out to be a Daisy air pistol.
The Oregonian reports (http://is.gd/KZJmAr ) the Potter shooting was the third police-involved shooting this year in Portland.

Latest News Philippines: WHERE'S NAPOLES? – Journal.com.ph:
THE National Bureau of Investigation yesterday launched a nationwide manhunt for suspected pork barrel scam leader Janet Lim Napoles following issuance of a warrant of arrest against her and her sibling for serious illegal detention.
Napoles could not be found shortly after Makati Regional Trial Court Presiding Judge Elmo Alameda issued arrest warrants against her and brother Reynald Luy Lim in connection with the serious illegal detention complaint filed by Benhur Luy, the whistle-blower in the alleged P10-billion pork barrel scam.
Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said the NBI would be assisted by other law enforcement agencies in the hunt for Napoles.
She said at least 12 NBI teams have been formed to conduct the manhunt and serve the arrest warrant on the siblings.
De Lima said Napoles and Lim were apparently tipped off on their impending arrest.
"It seems it's true that they were tipped off about the issuance of the arrest warrant yesterday. But it's not surprising because personalities like them are well-connected," De Lima said.
In fact, De Lima said, they have received information that Napoles' lawyers were already waiting at the Makati RTC to get a copy of the arrest warrant even before it was released.
She said immediately after the NBI got hold of a copy of the arrest warrant, its agents went to Napoles and his brother's known addresses to implement it but they could not be found.
"They continue to search, it's actually a no let-up, that's the instruction," De Lima said.
The DoJ chief added that she had already instructed Bureau of Immigration Officer-In-Charge Siegfred Mison to order BI personnel to closely watch all exit points to prevent the respondents from leaving the country.
"The moment that she is seen in any of those port or airports by BI personnel (they are) to arrest (the fugitives) on site and turn them over to the NBI," De Lima said while noting that an arrest warrant is considered a hold departure order (HDO).
Perjury case
The Manila Prosecutor's Office yesterday set for August 28 and September 4 the preliminary investigation into the perjury case filed by Napoles against whistleblower Benhur Luy.
Aside from Benhur, also named in the complaint were his parents Arturo and Gertrudes and brother Arthur and another whistleblower identified as Merlina Sunas, a former employee of JLN Corporation.
Assistant City Prosecutor Philger Noel Inovejas is handling the case and as of yesterday, the subpoena for Napoles to attend the hearing was set to be sent. Meanwhile, immigration personnel at the NAIA are now on alert for the possible flight of siblings Janet and Rey Napoles.
NAIA immigration counters have in fact the photos of the two posted beside the computer.
NAIA-BI for operation head Dennis Opina said the two will be stopped if they attempt to leave.
Revilla's lament
Sen. Ramon Revilla Jr. has maintained that controversial businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles is a "mere acquaintance" as he deplored efforts by some sectors to link him to her alleged misuse of the pork barrel fund of some legislators.
"I was introduced once or twice to Ms. Napoles, and have seen her occasionally in certain social gatherings. Aside from the customary 'Hi's and Hello's,' we had no other interaction with each other," Revilla said in a statement.
"My son Bryan on the other hand, and one of her children were schoolmates in high school. I understand that they, with other friends, went into a business of importing and selling rubber shoes together. Ito nga 'yung PB & J Corporation," he said.
Revilla also appealed to his critics to spare his family from the pork barrel fund scandal. Under the national budget, a senator is entitled to Php200 million PDAF (Priority Development Assistance Fund) yearly while a representative is allotted Php70 million.
"It is unfortunate that a legal undertaking between associates is being tainted with malice. Their business endeavor is legal and legitimate. I think that this malicious story is another attempt by some sectors to malign us. Kung gusto akong sirain, ako na lang. 'Wag na sanang idamay ang anak ko," he said.

I have a big problem with Ubuntu Server 11.04. When I log into the server with ssh or ftp the files in my Home folder is encrypted. This happened yesterday too, but a reboot fixed it.
I just reinstalled the OS on my desktop computer and had a backup on the server, so I need to get hold of the files.
The server has only been running for a few days and is set up using software RAID1 and has the following installed: apache2, mysql-server, munin, pure-ftpd and phpmyadmin.
I have not messed with any settings related to encryption. The only thing I have changed in terms of users is to add my user to the group www-data.
Someone here who knows how this can be fixed?

Technology training for teachers completed
With funding from the Heinz Endowments of Pittsburgh, Penn State Greater Allegheny Continuing Education presented technology education classes for area school teachers. This was the second year classes were being offered. "Technology in the Classroom: Best Practices for the Classroom Teacher Series II" was held in early August 2010. The first training session was offered to elementary teachers and the second session was offered to secondary teachers. Both of these sessions were ACT 48 approved programs.
Dr. Donald Sheffield, Founder and President of Techniques Assisting Motivation and Excellence (TAME), Inc., once again coordinated the training curriculum. Topics included, "Enhancing Classroom Learning with Video Applications," "Using Technology for Classroom Management," and "Power Point and 'Clickers'."
