Last week was National Volunteers Week 2015, in which organisations celebrated and recognised their volunteers.
Alex Harrison started out as a diver, acting as a virtuous role model at his club, Merton School of Diving, where he never missed a training session, always put the maximum effort in to training and was known for his impeccable behaviour.
21-year old Katie Hesketh has just finished her degree studying Sport Science at Liverpool John Moore's University, which she has completed alongside full time water polo training, as part of the GB Women's Water Polo Squad. On top of this, Katie has also been volunteering in a variety of roles, including as a referee, table official and coach almost every weekend for the past four years.
Sarah first became involved in volunteering whilst still a swimmer herself at Trinity Synchro Club in Carlisle, where she began coaching at the age of 15. Sarah's love of Synchro and all aquatic disciplines, along with being inspired by her own coaches, gave her the desire to give back to other swimmers.

A kidnapped woman was rescued by police after texting her sister that she was in a car with a man who had a weapon. She texted the car color, make and license plate number to her sister, who in turn alerted Albuquerque police, according to MSN News on Aug. 26.
The police were able to use that message to track down and save the woman along with arresting the driver, but not until a high-speed chase ensued. The chase, which was harrowing at times, ended in a four-car crash. Tanner Tixier, a Albuquerque Police Department spokesperson said the kidnapping suspect was 36-year-old Daniel Romero, reports The Star today.
Police came upon the car and gave chase to Romero who ignored all signals to pull over. It wasn't until he swerved into on-coming traffic that a crash stopped his car. The crash sent five people to the hospital, all suffering from minor injuries.
Police said that Romero will likely see the charges of aggravated eluding of law enforcement and kidnapping. He has three outstanding warrants including possession of a firearm, which is a felon. This guy had some previous run-ins with the law, including the firearm warrant.
That was smart thinking on the woman's part to text her sister. With the sister who received the messages working in tandem with police it somehow all came together to get the sister to safety. According to MSN there were no details given on the victim's injuries.
The kidnapped sister apparently kept her cool because she was able to give enough information in the text to lead police to the car. She was also smart in letting the police know that the man had a weapon in the car with him, which let the police know to proceed with caution. This is one text message session the two sisters will probably remember for the rest of their lives.

I'm running IIS 7 and when I'm trying to download a file from a public folder the server returns Error 500. However, this only happens on the first request and if I try again the download proceed as expected. If I wait for a period of time the problem recur.
It seems to be something with the session handling?
Isn't error 500 application related? This seems weird since it's just a simple file request?
Edit: I should mention that I'm using https if it could somehow be related.

Embracing Spring Time Hairdos
This entry was posted on March 29, 2012.
With spring time comes it is time to embrace new hair styles, and this also includes wearing outfits that are lighter in color and that will keep you cooler. Since the days and weather are unpredictable because some days will bring warm while some will still being cool, it's nice to wear hair styles that accommodate both warmer and cooler weather.
If you're used to wearing the same style, why not switch it up? Here are some spring hair styles that we love and we think you can definitely incorporate these styles into your everyday hair look too.
Have you seen The Hunger Games yet? Since this film has taken the entertainment world by storm everyone is dying to have a perfect Katniss braid. So this is what we shall call it in the remainder of this post - "Katniss braid." Braids are great for the spring time and will show off your love for the film The Hunger Games simultaneously. Plus there are several different braids to try out! Why not do a French braid; inside out french braid, or another braid that you adore?
If you care to stick with a classic Katniss side braid you'll need to braid your hair to the side and make sure it ends up situated around your shoulder. Also make it lose so that it looks natural and woodsy. This style will not only feel comfy, but it will cover your shoulder, keeping you warm when it gets cooler in the evenings. Plus it will keep the hair out of your eyes should you need to defend yourself and be a heroine like Katniss. :)
Curls and Braids Combined
A very whimsical and feminine look is having flower elements in your locks with a braid incorporated. You can do a half French braid or do a slight braid at the crown of your head, which will look lovely. Plus, as we mentioned, having your hair down will help with extra warmth on your shoulders and head if it should rain during the spring time.
Curl your hair extensions with a curling iron but be careful - you don't want to burn your precious locks! If you love having curly locks most of the time you should consider buying our wavy hair extensions, such as the Wavy Virgin Indian Hair Extensions, that will keep your hair wavy for as long as you want it to be!
Embrace Messy Hair
Since you are going to be super busy having fun in the great outdoors (when it isn't raining in April that is), why not embrace messy hair? Creating a sweet and simple updo ought to do the trick. If you should run into a thunder bumper or two it won't be the end of the world if your hair gets wet, because it's already fashionably messy!
Updos are fun to create. You can incorporate braids, followed by gathering the hair on top of your head and creating a stylish bun. Or - you can go for a lose look with only certain pieces of hair tucked into your ponytail, creating a messy and chic look that you will adore.
Spring time brings endless of possibilities, laughter, and bliss now that the flowers are blooming and the sun is shining more often. So enjoy yourself and style your hair how you prefer. Whether it's a Katniss braid, half braid and curls, or a messy updo, you will look lovely this spring. Now it's time to find that perfect outfit to go with your perfect locks.

The General Accounting Office released a report on Wednesday on NASA's heavy lift rocket, the Space Launch System. Among its core findings is that the project is in serious jeopardy of failing to meet its planned December, 2017 initial launch date. The problem is entirely budgetary as the SLS is about $400 million short of reaching its goal.
The GAO report stressed that the SLS is making "solid progress" in developing the heavy lift rocket design. It did find, however, that problems loom integrating certain hardware, such as the strap on solid rocket boosters originally designed for the Ares launch vehicles envisioned for the Constellation program. President Obama cancelled that program in 2010.
The GAO report offered a number of recommendations. It suggested that NASA either find the extra money needed or delay the first launch of the SLS past the December, 2017 date. It suggested employing some competitive bidding for future elements of the rocket. It suggested that NASA provide Congress with a full range of mission options for the SLS with a view of providing guidance for the rocket's development.
The report highlights a reoccurring problem that has plagued NASA since the space shuttle project, which has been unrealistic funding estimates for major projects. This tendency has resulted in cost overruns, schedule slippages, and even cancellation in the past. Congress and the White House have compounded the problem by failing to exercise proper oversight and allocating the needed resources for development projects at the space agency.
It is very unlikely that the Space Launch System will be cancelled. It is the only realistic option for sending American astronauts beyond low Earth orbit for the foreseeable future. But Congress and the White House have committed to such a program, though there is disagreement as two what the destination might be. But the GAO report does provide Congress with a stark choice. It can provide the SLS with adequate funding to keep its schedule intact or it can see its schedule slip and its overall cost increase in the long run.

Dec. 15, 2010
SEATTLE - You know about Jake Locker's gritty leadership playing through a broken rib. About Mason Foster's astounding season of tackling everything except the team bus. About Chris Polk's historical stampede that has carried the Huskies into their first bowl since 2002.
Now I want to introduce you to another Most Valuable Person in Washington's 2010 revival: A dedicated, proud and witty nurse in Southern California.
There are two people Polk tries to emulate when he runs, which the bullish sophomore just did for more yards in a game than any Husky had in 60 years.
"Emmitt Smith," Polk says, still smiling from his 284-yard romp in the Apple Cup two weeks ago that sent Washington into the Holiday Bowl against Nebraska on Dec. 30.
"And my mom."
Someone get Edrena Polk a game ball.
"I got my size from my dad, Christopher," said the 5-foot-11, 214-pound plowhorse, who just joined Napoleon Kaufman and Greg Lewis as the only Huskies with two 1,000-yard rushing seasons. "But I think I got my toughness and my speed from her."
Chris began in Pop Warner football when he was six years old in Southern California. That's when Edrena Polk began putting on the shoulder pads and a helmet of Lawrence, Chris' older brother by two years. She would place the ball on the ground, lay head-to-head with Chris and say "Hike!" Chris would grab the ball while mother and son simultaneously popped to their feet.
Then - THWACK! A linebacker in that timeless football drill of runner versus tackler, mom would drill Chris to the ground.
"He told you that?" Edrena Polk said to me with a laugh Monday while on telephone at work.
She is the nurse manager of the psychiatric clinic at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton, Calif., in San Bernardino Country near where she has raised Chris, Lawrence and younger daughter Faedra.
"He's absolutely right. I tackled him," she said, still laughing. "Then he finally got past me.
"That's why he is where he is. And that's why I am where I am."
Chris says he didn't just finally get past mom, "one day I actually ran her over."
Thing is, that wasn't until Chris was 14.
"Yeah, that's why he's as tough as he is," Edrena said of the eight years Chris spent getting humbled and hammered by his mother on a football field.
No wonder Chris says today, "I hate to be tackled. I hate to have someone bring me down."
Now anyone who has played anything macho beyond marbles knows Polk's teammates had to have been all over him about getting tackled by his mom.
"They just made fun of me," Chris said, grinning, "until they tried it. And she tackled them, too."
His mom also consistently dusted her son in sprint races.
If you haven't figured out by now, Edrena Polk was a prime athlete herself. She is still a shortstop, catcher and third baseman on a co-ed softball team - "co-ed," she reiterated, "those men hit the ball HARD." She says she ran track on scholarship at the University of Miami before she left Florida to complete her nursing studies and raise three kids in California.
She's still raising one, long distance to Seattle.
"I'm there with him on the phone, email, whatever. And I have every one of his games on tape," she said of Chris' first two wondrous seasons for the Huskies.
"We go over them after every game and critique them, things like how he holds the ball."
Yep, while we were all wowed by Polk running over Wazzu, his mom was looking to ensure her son was carrying the ball in the appropriate arm.
Her reviews had to have been great when Polk set a career high with 138 yards in UW's home home finale win over UCLA last month. Then he plowed for the winning score the following week on the final play at California, again keeping the Huskies' bowl hopes alive.
Minutes after he steamrolled Washington State with the second-most yards in UW history - 12 fewer than what Hugh McElhenny got against WSU in 1950 - Polk sat in full pads on an equipment trunk with a look of pure satisfaction. He accepted scores of congratulations inside a jubilant locker room and simply and quietly kept saying, "Thank you."
"I just run with the will to win, like I can't be stopped," he said. "It took me back to my high school games.
"It's what I came here to do."
Mom was driving force behind that, too.
Polk received scholarship offers from UW, Oregon and Texas-El Paso following his junior season of high school, in which he caught 62 passes with 12 touchdowns as a wide receiver at Redlands East Valley.
He committed verbally to USC in February 2007, choosing to stay close to home and join a Trojans offense run by a whiz-kid coordinator named Steve Sarkisian. But in December of that year, the nation's No. 7 rated high school running back walked away from the Trojans. He and Edrena were impressed with former Huskies receivers coach Charlie Baggett and head coach Tyrone Willingham.
Polk also saw USC already had high school All-Americans stacked atop each other on its depth chart.
Make that, Polk's mom saw that.
"Even though I am a registered nurse, I can still do research," Edrena Polk said, chuckling.
"I was looking at (USC's) roster. They had 12-15 running backs and about 17 wide receivers. He was going to have to compete with all those guys just to get on the field. He's used to playing all the time."
She compared rosters at the other schools that had already offered Chris scholarships.
Bow down to Washington.
"I saw less competition was probably the best thing for Chris," she said. "USC was already on top. We wanted to go to college where we could change and we could give.
"It was a very hard decision. I was against a lot of people -- all his coaches, everyone at USC. But I knew what was right for him.
"My son listened to his mother."
Sarkisian felt snookered.
"He was coming, he committed to us," said Sarkisian, who had already been thinking of how he could utilize Polk's vast talents in the Trojans' loaded offense. "To Washington's credit at the time, they kind of stole him and swung him back right there at the end."
Asked now, in his second season as the Huskies' head coach, if he has ever talked to Polk about backing out from USC, Sarkisian said: "Not as much. I was pretty upset, to be honest."
Then he added with a wry smile, "I do know I'm happy he's here now. ... And, no, it wasn't planned."
The obvious question today is whether Polk would be getting 29 carries for USC, as he did for Washington in the Apple Cup.
"I don't know," Sarkisian said. "He's a tremendous player now. He's the second-leading rusher in the Pac-10 behind the guy sitting in New York (last week, Heisman Trophy-finalist LaMichael James of Oregon). A two-time 1,000-yard rusher in only two years. So he's accomplished a lot, but he's still got a lot ahead of him."
Yet all that is only part of Polk's intriguing story at UW.
He enrolled early for the 2008 season, participating in spring practice and rocketing to the top of Willingham's depth chart. Then he wrecked his shoulder in the second game against Brigham Young. It ended his season, led to a medical redshirt - and to a period of self-doubt with difficulties adjusting socially and academically to college.
On top of that, his Huskies were 0-12. USC, where he could have been, went 12-1, won the Pac-10 and yet another Rose Bowl. Polk briefly thought of quitting football.
"When we came in, he was injured, he was struggling in school a little bit," said Sarkisian, who took over UW in January 2009. "To his credit, he's really put his entire life in order to make this thing happen - not just on the football field, but in the classroom and in his personal life. He's really come a long way in two years time, and I'm really proud of him."
His mom sternly told Chris that whatever you start, you finish. Yet she knew Chris was struggling being away from the nurturing she gave him with homework, with athletics, with life.
"I was always there when he needed me," Edrena Polk said. "For him to be by himself for the first time - he's a very isolated type - to not have me there, that was tough.
"He was afraid to get help from people on his academics. That's just the way he is."
But when Sarkisian, someone he knew from Southern California, arrived, Polk transformed. He calls it a blessing. His mom credits Sarkisian and his assistants for working with the academic support staff and tutors of the Huskies' athletic department, for drawing her son out of his shell.
"I think he's a genius," Polk said of his 36-year-old coach.
In the two seasons with Sarkisian calling the plays, he's rushed for 1,113 and now 1,238 yards, with 13 touchdowns. Last year he became the first Husky to rush for 1,000 yards as a freshman. This season, with Locker's rib broken and the Huskies having been blown out three consecutive times into mid November, Sarkisian turned the offense and essentially the season over to Polk and his running.
Now look who's headed to San Diego for the holidays.
"This is where Husky football is supposed to be," Polk said. "It just shows everything happens for a reason. Being able to redshirt gave me all four years under Coach Sark. I always knew this was the place for me."
So did Edrena Polk, the behind-the-scenes MVP of this Huskies' revival.
Not that she'll take credit for it.
"By the grace of God, it's totally been a 180 for him," Mother Polk said. "It's been a natural progression, and a maturity.
"He's come a long way."

Snow at the Crosby
Pebble Beach Golf Links
From its earliest days in 1947, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am (originally called "The Crosby Clambake" or, more informally, "The Crosby") has been known for three things: great golf, crowd-pleasing celebrities and unpredictable weather. The rain and winds that often visit the tournament are as much a part of the championship's character as the competition they often interrupt.
But no one expected the cause of the final round's delay in 1962: snow. This was the first time in 40 years it had snowed on the Monterey Peninsula, prompting golf pro Jimmy Demeret to make the famous remark, "I know I got loaded last night, but how did I end up in Squaw Valley?" (Squaw Valley is a ski resort in California). The tournament was completed on the following day; it has rarely snowed at Pebble Beach since.

Steve Coburn, the owner of the horse, California Chrome, spewed a rant during an interview when his horse did not win at Belmont yesterday. His rant saw many jaws-drop as the spirit of sportsmanship was not present at all in the words that erupted from Coburn's mouth, suggests "Fox and Friends Weekend" on Sunday June 8.
Fox News also suggest that Coburn's interview with NBC's Kenny Rice "will go down in history with Richard Sherman's outburst on Fox after the NFC Championship Game. You can imagine the man's disappointment to have come so far just to be left in the dust at Belmont, but history points out he is not alone.
The New York Times reports Coburn as "lashing out at the racing industry," with the rant he went on after his Belmont loss. His complaint centered around the rules that allow horses to run in the Belmont that didn't run in the other two races, the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. Saving the "fresh horses" for the Belmont isn't fair conveyed Coburn.
He went as far as saying that he felt that the misspelling of California on his saddle blanket by the Churchill Downs folks was an intentional slight towards him and his horse. For sure not winning the Belmont was a major disappointment to the man who has been in the spotlight for the last five weeks. If the Triple Crown was easy to win, four decades would not have passed since a horse has accomplished this feat.
He joins decades of owners who have seen the dreams of the Triple Crown fall to the wayside at Belmont. Coburn claims that his horse "had a target on its back." It sounds as if Coburn considers the loss of the Belmont due to one big conspiracy. He claims that horses running in the Belmont, but not in the Kentucky Derby or the Preakness, were the best they saved for last.
He said "If you've got a horse, run him in all three." He calls it "the cowards way out" by holding your horse off and running him only in the Belmont. He rambled on about the rules and regulations. He thinks you should run the horses in all three races and not just in the final race for the Triple Crown, the Belmont.
The interviewer asked him if he was saying you shouldn't run a "fresh horse" in the Belmont. That's when Coburn said, "That's right. It's all or nothing." It sounds as if Coburn thinks that his horse ran against ringers, horses that are really good, but held back just to take the chance of winning the Triple Crown away from the contender horse.
At one point during the interview, Coburn's wife leans in and whispers something to her husband. He turned around and abruptly said to her "I don't care." Apparently he didn't care what he was saying because he left people astonished with his accusations about the nation's prestigious three horse races. You can see the complete interview in the video above.

WATERVILLE, Maine (AP) — It's been two years since toddler Ayla Reynolds was reported missing from her father's home in Maine, and the girl's mother is asking people to demand answers.
The mother's family issued a statement saying they "cannot truly know the peace of Christmas" while Ayla remains missing and no one has been brought to justice.
The 22-month-old was reported missing on Dec. 17, 2011, from the Waterville home of Justin DiPietro. He told police he last saw his daughter when he put her to bed the night before.
The toddler's disappearance set off a massive search that transformed into the biggest criminal investigation in Maine history. Police believe Ayla was a victim of foul play and is no longer alive. The case investigation remains active.

'Assault in the Ring' compelling
Review by David L. Hudson Jr.
Powerful, provocative and penetrating. Compelling, controversial and commanding. Assault in the Ring tells the unforgettable and tragic story of the Luis Resto-Billy Collins 1983 bout in which Resto pounded the unbeaten prospect Collins over 10 rounds in an upset at Madison Square Garden.
Later it was revealed that padding had been removed from Resto's gloves. Collins career ended after the beating and later his life tragically ended in a car accident.
Resto served time and suffered a life ban from the sport that was the focus of his life. He has become a tragic figure, struggling to survive mentally for choices made years earlier.
Assault in the Ring tells the story largely through the eyes of Resto, as he attempts to come to grips with his role in the horror that also ended his boxing career. The subhead on the DVD tells it all: "seeking redemption for an unforgiveable crime." Resto attempts to redeem himself through a harrowing journey. He attempts to make peace with Collins family and later confronts his former trainer Panama Lewis in an unforgettable scene. Resto later reveals a startling admission that goes beyond the removal of padding from the gloves.
While Collins obviously was the ultimate victim, director/producer Eric Drath's masterpiece shows how Resto has suffered too through the years. The depiction of Resto sitting by Collins grave, muttering "sorry Billy" may sear the souls of many a viewer. It will cause viewers to reflect more deeply on one of the greatest scandals in recent boxing history.
The bonus 2 DVD set features interviews with trainer Freddie Roach, television analyst Teddy Atlas and others. Viewers can also watch the Resto-Collins bout on a separate disc. This DVD is a can't-miss buy for boxing and non-boxing fans alike. You don't have to be an aficionado of pugilism to appreciate the compelling human drama of this story.

Feb. 14, 2008
Junior Jennifer Naughton is a stalwart on the 2008 Northern Illinois gymnastics team who has already been named the Mid-American Conference Specialist of the Week once this season. The Smithville, Mo. ranks among the top gymnasts in the MAC and in the region in the balance beam and also has achieved some of the top scores on the vault and floor exercise.
Nicknames: "Red" has been my nickname since I was five. There were about five other Jennifers in my gymnastics class, so my first coach gave me the nickname to keep from getting confused.
Favorite Musical Genre: 80's rock and country.
Favorite Movie: All three "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies.
Favorite TV Show: "Desperate Housewives"
Favorite Pro Sports Team: Kansas City Chiefs
What has been the biggest difference from your hometown and DeKalb?
"I came from a small town, so DeKalb is definitely quite a change. It is a lot different from my high school, where I knew everyone. I am just glad to live here and have the opportunity to meet so many different people."
What is the best part about living in DeKalb?
"The best part would be living with my roommates--the junior girls on the gymnastics team. They are a bunch of great girls and are always fun to be around."
What is your favorite gymnastics memory?
"The most memorable and gratifying memory so far was beating the University of Illinois at the State Competition last year. Everybody was extremely excited and it was something that you can never forget."
What place has been your favorite road trip so far in your college career?
"As far as sight-seeing goes, I would have to say Denver [in 2007]. It was really beautiful there, and the weather was nice too when we went. It was a nice escape from the weather and landscape of DeKalb. Otherwise, I would have to say the Missouri meet, because a lot of my friends were able to come see me compete."
If you did not compete in gymnastics in college, what would you be doing?
"I would probably compete for the NIU track team. I participated in long jump and triple jump while in high school."
Who has had the greatest impact on your life thus far?
"My mom. She has been through everything with me. She is a strong person who works hard, and I am always striving to be as good a person as her. She always has my back and is my best friend."
Do you have any pre-meet rituals?
"Every meet, I have to wear the same ribbons in my hair from freshman year. Every year the team gets new ribbons for our hair, but Leah Johnson and I wear our old ones. Besides that, I also like to listen to music to get myself ready for the meet."
What has been the best advice given to you by a coach?
"The best advice I have received would probably be from our assistant coach Sam [Morreale]. He always says `Don't be afraid of greatness.'"
What is one goal that you would like to accomplish this season?
"I would love to see our team advance to [NCAA] Regionals, as well as win the MAC this year. I know that is what everybody really wants and is striving for this year. This year is looking great to achieve that, because we have a lot of things working for us: more fans, everyone on the team has a great attitude, and we are all meshing well together as a team."
What aspect do you like most about being on the NIU Gymnastics team?
"The other athletes that you meet. The student-athletes are really like a big family. I also am grateful that I have gotten to know the girls on my team. Everyone has so many different qualities to offer and they are really great people. I am really lucky."
Why did you decide to come to NIU?
"A couple of the older girls from my club gym came here. When deciding where to go, I knew I wanted to go somewhere where I already knew a couple of girls. Also, Ashton Flora and I grew up together and knew we wanted to finish our gymnastics careers together at the same college, and we both decided on Northern."
What is the toughest part about being an athlete at NIU?
"Time management issues. When you are a student-athlete, you have to worry about both school and athletics, and it is challenging to find time to succeed in both. However, since I live with other gymnasts, I see them do it and convince myself that if they can manage it than I can do it too."
Funniest memory in gymnastics so far is...
"There are so many to choose from, it's hard to pick just one. At a meet last year, we were running out to start the meet and one of the girls stepped on the pants of the girl in front of her. Unfortunately, the girl was not competing that day and didn't have a leotard on underneath. Thankfully, it wasn't too horrible because not a lot of people noticed, but looking back it was definitely a funny moment."
The words I try to live by are...
"Live with no regrets and never forget who you are."

The category approach used in the Toolbox:
- Focuses on intrinsic properties of chemicals (mechanism or mode of action, (eco-)toxicological effects).
- Allows for entire categories of chemicals to be assessed when only a few members are tested, saving costs and the need for testing on animals.
- Enables robust hazard assessment through mechanistic comparisons without testing.
The QSAR Toolbox is a software intended to be used by governments, the chemical industry and other stakeholders to fill gaps in (eco-)toxicity data needed for assessing the hazards of chemicals. The Toolbox incorporates information and tools from various sources into a logical workflow. Grouping chemicals into chemical categories is crucial to this workflow.

Controversial Christian Rapper Bizzle has spoken out expressing his opinion on Jay Z's connection to Illuminati.
Bizzle recently had an interview with VladTV. During the dialogue he was asked what he thought about artists such as Jay Z, Rihanna and Kanye West involvement with the alleged secret society.
"I don't think he's down at a respected level," said the rapper regarding Jay Z. "If anything I would say [he's] a puppet. I don't want to say [it's definite], but that's what I believe."
He also gave his take on the title of Kanye's latest album "Yeezus".
"Anybody who sees Kanye, we know about his ego, so it's not strange that he would try to put himself on that level," he said. "I think its mockery. If I say Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior and [Kanye] is calling himself Yeezus, I know where you got it from and you just had a record called New God Flow and you were already on records [saying] you started your own religion."
According to the Christian rapper, these conclusions are a result of thoroughly listening to the material put out by West and Jay Z in recent years.
"I don't just jump to conclusions off of one record," he said. "There's been a lot of different references."
Bizzle recently made headlines when he released a response record to Macklemore's song "Same Love" after hearing it at the Grammy© Awards. "Same Love (A Response)" is about the biblical view of homosexuality. The song has prompted hate mail and death threats.

Six Flags Great Adventure is looking to have fans screaming at the top of the lungs when they experience the newest attraction in 2014. The ride causing plenty of buzz online is called the Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom and the theme park's newest thrill ride is opening in less than six weeks. People can't wait to try it! New Jersey might be the last place people look when it comes to a good thrill, but roller coasters fans, thrill seekers and theme park fans are heading to the area as the theme park's newest ride goes up 41 stories, then drops straight down at 90 miles per hour in less than 10 seconds. According to WABC on Wednesday, the ride is the world's tallest drop ride.
The Six Flags Great Adventure opens up in a week, but the ride won't be taking people on any excursions until Memorial Day weekend. Looking to make safety checks, show off the ride to the media and readying the moment for the greatest rider experience ever, the construction is over but the final details are left to complete.
The Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom has the fans who love theme parks excited and people are making plans to head to New Jersey. There is always room for the biggest and best theme park rides in pop culture and people love to compare their experiences with other folks who have been on the same ride. The question everyone is asking is how does it feel to rush down 41 floors in less than 10-seconds?
Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom is a bucket list activity that should be on the list of every thrill seeker as this ride is going to be epic!

College Hockey:Sunday Morning's ECAC Hockey Playoff Picture
For those who can't wait for Thursday's column, a quick update on the lay of the land. Yale is alone atop the pack with 30 points, thanks to Cornell's blown lead at Dartmouth … here's where everybody else stands.
Yale is locked into a first-round bye and a top-three finish. Two more points clinches the top seed, three points claims the Cleary Cup alone.
Union and Cornell are also assured top-three finishes and first-round byes, and play each other on Friday at Lynah. The squads tied in their Messa matchup, so their next game looms large.
Rensselaer and Colgate are tied for fourth – the last bye – with 22 points apiece, and face off in Hamilton on Friday night. Colgate can finish as low as seventh, since Quinnipiac owns the head-to-head tiebreaker, while RPI can technically sink to sixth. Neither, however, can catch up to a third-place spot.
St. Lawrence is in sixth place with 21 points at the moment, but can climb as high as fourth or fall as far as eighth. The Saints are at home this weekend, where they are 7-2-4 this year.
Quinnipiac can finish anywhere between fifth and 11th, but bridging the three-point gap separating the Bobcats from the Saints will require a Herculean effort.
Harvard, too, has a wide swing, able to finish between sixth and 11th. The Crimson possess an edge on the record-versus-top-four tiebreaker against sixth-place SLU, but to finish that high Harvard will have to sweep and the Saints will have to get swept.
Princeton and Brown each lurk a point behind Harvard, and can finish between seventh and 11th. Both own head-to-head tiebreakers over the Crimson, and they play each other in 'Jersey on Saturday … Brown won the first meeting.
Dartmouth is in 11th right now and can fall no lower, but can climb as high as seventh.
Clarkson is stuck in 12th.
Handicapping the Field
Yale hits the road against Princeton and Quinnipiac. You have to like the Bulldogs' chances of hanging on to a co-championship at the very least, though Saturday's edition of the War on Whitney will be a good test for the offensively gifted but defensively challenged Elis.
The winner of Friday's Union-Cornell game will claim the head-to-head advantage, though both teams must certainly realize that they're likely playing for second place, or at best a share of the regular-season title. With Cornell hosting the Dutchmen and bye-seeking RPI – and Union playing Colgate on Saturday, who is also seeking that final bye spot – neither team has anything remotely resembling an easy path this weekend.
Aforementioned Colgate and RPI are gunning for fourth place, with each team in control of its own destiny: win, and get a week off. St. Lawrence is hot on these squads' tails – and holds the tiebreaker over each – but a one-point lead is like a one-goal lead: it's yours to lose. Just like Cornell and Union, RPI plays at Colgate and Cornell this weekend while Colgate takes on Union on Saturday. No easy games, that's for sure.
St. Lawrence may have the "easiest" challenge this weekend, hosting Dartmouth and Harvard with a very realistic shot at fourth place. The Saints have been great at home, and these Ivy travel partners haven't exactly been setting the world on fire this year. As noted, the Saints hold head-to-head tiebreakers over both Colgate and RPI.
Quinnipiac should play for postseason momentum, not necessarily for sixth place: three points is a lot to make up in two games. Friday's tilt against Brown may well be a first-round preview, with Brown in 10th and the Bobcats seventh. That preview bit holds true should QU slip, too … Brown would look good for ninth, while the 'Cats would fall to eighth.
Harvard had a good chance to climb to seventh or higher going into last night's game against Colgate, but a 4-2 loss leads the Crimson to look harder at the teams behind it than at those ahead. Brown and Princeton – both one point behind – hold the head-to-head over Harvard, and neither of them have to make Harvard's grueling road trip to the North Country this weekend.
Princeton plays Brown at Hobey Baker Rink on Saturday, but first the Tigers tackle Yale while Bruno heads to Quinnipiac. Both teams have their eyes on stealing Harvard's home-ice position, but doing so will probably require a three-point weekend.
Dartmouth has a shot at climbing the standings, but I don't think that ranking is as important to the Big Green as momentum. Sure, a trip to Princeton is less desirable than – say – Boston, or the Capital District, but the picture is a bit muddy to try to play for an opponent.
And as for Clarkson? Well, the Golden Knights need to figure it out in a hurry, and are certainly praying that St. Lawrence finishes fifth – that would be the most fortuitous draw in history for a last-place team. A five-mile road trip for the North Country program? Yes please!

I had to laugh at the latest orchestrated outrage over a private company that produces gun sights for the U.S. military that were found with Bible inscriptions in them (http://www.mlive.com/news/detroit/index.ssf/2010/01/jesus_at_war_wixom_supplier_in.html). Why I get sick of this kind of false rage is that billions of tax dollars every year go to non-Christian countries and political action groups like the ACLU and ACORN (and, yes, Christian groups I am certain as well). Further, less fortunate people can get "In God We Trust" money supposedly for life's necessities and our public schools and universities can teach evolution and "Big Bang" theories with this horrible message from our Judeo-Christian founders so where is the outrage over it from our government workers and entitlement receivers?
It is pretty pathetic that the U.S. has to waste millions of dollars fighting political correctness over God to stay out of our public schools, off of military weapons and definitely away from our courthouses and other public areas. It is laughable that we pay billions of "God money" to people here in America and all over the world who aren't educated enough to realize their hypocrisy or strong enough to reject it/return it to us as a method of showing their strong beliefs of how wrong America's "God dollars" are.
I wonder if the impoverished in Haiti or the oppressed in Iraq care what is on the U.S. dollar as long as they can buy goods and services with these axis dollars of evil? It is really sad that the U.S. of A has a tizzy over such petty "constitutional destruction" as a Bible verse on a gun sight when beneficiaries of U.S. aid and military support gladly accept our U.S. dollars with no complaint.
If all of the constitution huggers offended by the horrendous mention of God or the placement of the Ten Commandments were really believable, the first thing they should all do is refuse to be paid in U.S. dollars and stop receiving government aid. Hey, we could give you ten cans of corn or five loaves of bread into your pantry instead of $50 of taxpayer dollars.
Isn't that really standing up for your paper-thin beliefs?

It was in the middle of the afternoon on Oct. 5 when a man who owns a condominium steps from the Kimball Art Center pressed the 'Send' button on an e-mail message to City Hall.
Norm Olson, one of the critics of the Kimball Art Center's designs for a major expansion at the intersection of Main Street and Heber Avenue, outlined his displeasure in the message. It was sent to the Park City Planning Department.
"I do not support the monstrosity that Kimball is proposing, in no way shape or form. Their proposal will violently change the complexion of our beautiful street and historic appearance that exists presently," Olson said in part of the message, alongside a brief discussion of City Hall's development rules.
Eleven days later, in another e-mail sent to City Hall in the middle of the afternoon, Dave and Carolyn Hedderly-Smith offered sharp criticism of the design. They warned that the Park City leaders of today would be likened to those who allowed the Main Street Mall, with its often criticized modern look, to be built.
"We don't need or want an 80-foot tall twisted stack of railroad ties even if it is designed by some world-famous architect from Denmark. The Kimble Art Center board has apparently lost track of what Park City is all about. They seem to think it is all about them! And I guess they don't know that there are architects here in the American West," the Hedderly-Smiths, who live in Pinebrook, said in their message to City Hall.
The correspondences are two examples from a stack of messages that were sent to Park City officials in the fall. City Hall compiled and then released them as the Park City Planning Commission considered a zoning change that would make it possible for the Kimball Art Center to proceed through the City Hall development process.
There has been resistance from people who contend that the expansion, as proposed by the architectural firm, would loom over the high-profile Main Street-Heber Avenue intersection. The design itself, meanwhile, would be out of place with the architecture in the Main Street core, the critics say.
The messages sent to City Hall were made public as a Nov. 28 meeting of the Planning Commission approached. Nearly all of them were in opposition to the Kimball Art Center expansion as it is designed. A few seemed neutral while a handful of others did not clearly state a position. None of them offered an outright endorsement.
The people who wrote the messages live in Park City, reside in the surrounding area or are from outside the state but own property in Park City. City Hall received more than 40 of the correspondences prior to the meeting in late November.
Many of the messages express support for the mission of the not-for-profit Kimball Art Center, which puts on exhibits, offers classes and organizes the annual Park City Kimball Arts Festival in the summer. Some of them indicate they would like the Kimball Art Center to expand in some fashion.
The Kimball Art Center has retained Bjarke Ingels Group, a renowned architectural firm with offices in New York City and Copenhagen, Denmark, to design the expansion. The firm's idea calls for an 80-foot tower made of stacked railroad trestles.
An opposition movement was started shortly after the Kimball Art Center made public the designs. The art center has not submitted an application for the project. The City Hall discussions that prompted the messages centered on the possibility of a change to the development rules crucial to the project.
Highlights of some of the other messages include:

Resident Evil: Revelations Wii U supports off-screen play
Resident Evil: Revelations originally released on the 3DS, a portable console, and thanks to the Wii U's Game Pad, you can play the HD console re-release in much the same way. Is that a thing you'd want to do? According to a feature in ONM, as reported by Nintendo Insider, off-screen play is just one of a number of features exclusive to the Wii U version, and emulates the 3DS version's two-screen inventory and map system, too. Resident Evil: Revelations is also expected on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in May.

Recently we noticed that Exchange server is taking so much space for mailboxes. We are examining some solutions to reduce space, and it seems that we could make use of the archiving feature to archive older messages. I can set the auto-archive option manually for every individual user, but is there any other easier way to automate that task? Is there any feature in exchange server or active directory domain that enables setting that as a kind of policy or something similar, or a script to be scheduled to run by all users?

JWC TO JEANNIE WELSH ; 5 March 1844; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18440305-JWC-JW-01; CL 17: 294-298
[ca. 5 March 1844]
Dearest Babbie
The little ottomans (stools" is quite too mean a word for them) arrived a few hours after your letter and—curiously enough—were unpacked by—Walter!1 while his, "what shall I say"?, wife, was taking off her boots in my room. Such beautiful little ottomans human eyes never rested on! I am glad to know who did which—when I am to be sitting on Babbie and when on The Morning Star2—but it is, impossible to give a preference to one over the other—both having reached the highest perfectionability point! To find myself the possessor of such decorative pieces is quite a new sort of feeling for me,—all my hitherto furnishings having stopt short within the sphere of the purely utilitarian—when I look on these realized ideals of female taste inspired by affection. I fancy myself "one and somewhat," and that nobody can any longer deny that we too have a drawingroom as well as other christian people— A great many thanks and kisses to each of you—and you may both assure yourselves that worsted-work was never in this world better bestowed than just on me who had none of it—and who, judging by myself, am apt to rate peoples attachment by the number of their stiches. Certainly nothing but the most intense, selfsacrificing passion could have carried me thro one such stool! For the tea it was a great idea! worthy of the Conceiver3— One would say he had guessed in the spirit of divination the enormous run that had been on my tea-caddy all the last week! And wished to inspire me with a due trust in Providence. I shall not fail to report the result when I have tried it—we pay at Chelsea 5/6 per pound—in Pall Mall I can get it as good for 5/– but it is not I think safe in London to venture lower than that—
And so I have seen Mrs W. Macgregor—that I have with a vengeance! and my impression of her? Oh mon Dieu! my impression of her is one of immense unmitigated Aversion! Every body here is ready to scream at the very idea of her. They called last Tuesday or Wednesday—I forget which—and found me gone to Elizabeths whither they wandered in quest of me—but missed the road. I asked Helen what sort of looking woman she was?— "A most uncommon ordinar woman indeed—nothing the least insinuating4 in her face that I could see! she may be intelligent—may be!—for that I can't say—but she looks so displeased—just rale gloomy and disconsolate!—" An odd description of a Bride—but I am not in the way of attaching much importance to Helens descriptions What chiefly interested me was the thought of what I should do with them— Ask them to dinner of course— As John Sterling says "when you want to be civil to anybody nature prompts you to ask them to dinner"— Easy to say—but in the present afflicted state of this house hold—a dinner even dans sa plus simple expression [in its simplest form] is the fearfulest of bores— I have not strength or fortitude enough to take even the slight handful of it which I am in the way of taking— Helen left all to herself goes to nonsense and Carlyle, "gloomy and disconsolate" as he is at present for ever and ever, looks like a chained tiger, when doomed to sit stuck up with company especially when it is my company not of his own asking—and there I sit in momentary expectation of Helen coming to a dead stand, and of Carlyle brandishing the carving knife and ordering his guests to "vanish in God or the Devil's name least a worse—thing befal them"! In virtue of being like the Pigs "used to it"5 I preserve an outward calm thro' these scenes of trial which might lead people to fancy me either the most obtuse or most philosophical woman that ever sat at the head of a table—no matter which, so long as my pretended impassivity has much the same effect as Caleb Balderstons6 impudence— viz that of making people doubt the evidence of their senses—and keeping them from rushing wildly into the street to dine on a passing muffin or on nothing at all, rather than under the singular conditions that attend the dinners of a Man of Genius—when the Devil has taken him and his under his own particular patronage.
At all risks however the New-marrieds must be invited—and this conclusion was hastened rather than otherwise by a note from Walter, which came a few hours after his call, inviting us to dine with them—preposterous! that would have been still worse, if it had not been impossible— So I asked them for one of three days and they accepted for Saturday— I called in Sterlings carriage but missed them again, so left the note which I had provided myself with in case of such contingency— To provided them with some entertainment such as lay within my peculiar sphere I asked a Lioness to come in the evening the last new Lioness—a rare creature indeed— The Miss Rigby who wrote Letters from the Ba[l]tic7 &c, and who is now setting fire to the Thames as a Quarterly Reviewer— Besides being a Woman of Genius she is a worlds wonder for personal attractions—six feet high! but so beautifully proportioned that you could not wish her a cubit less—with the most magnificent St[at]uesque8 head—the expression of a Corrine,9 and the gracefulest manners— When I told Carlyle that I had done this thing he was like to go out of his senses— "What could Miss Rigby make of the Macgregors or they of her"?—"he had never seen me guilty of such a piece of pure distraction, many as were the distracted things I had done in the way of bring[ing]10 incompatible people together"!— There was no end to his desparations—for Miss Rigby appeared to have taken an immense place in his (Carlyles) imagination— It was done however—"with the best intentions always unfortunate"! And so now "I must ask any body every body to dilute the horrible combination"— So I asked just everybody I saw and the produce was John Carlyle at dinner—Old Sterling, and Arthur Helps and his Wife in the evening besides the awful Miss Rigby— You may figure what sort of anxious affair it was for me—and I was never thankfuler than when the door closed on the last of them and I could reflect that after all there were no lives lost—
The Macs came at four—to dine at five—if they had been ten minutes later they must have arrived drenched to the skin for they had got into a wrong Omnibus (!) and had to walk from Sloan Square—and it came such a torrent of rain just after, that Carlyle had to come home in a cab The first look of the Bride did not shock me much— I was prepared for something unprepossessing and she looked rather better than I had expected—but when she had laid off her things, and sat down on a chair as if she were nailed to it—with her lean little figure without so much as a handkerchief to break its angularity—and when she spoke—in that acrid brusque tone of hers—my dislike grew every moment stronger till I was absolutely afraid of looking Walter in the face I was so sure that he must read there "merciful heaven how could you sell yourself for that woman's thousands"?— It is impossible Walter can love that woman— —"amiable"? she is not amiable—she is a limited, splenetic dirty little thing—"an ignoble rat-trap" an "insufferable little wild cat." as Carlyle among many other eloquent denunciations said of her. Carlyle has never ceased since lamenting over "poor Macgregor's fate"—Walter himself was not so agreable as he used to be here—he was too noisy—too excited— Very affectionate poor fellow—and trying to look content with her—but if he were really happy just now he would not take such pains to persuade people of it—
As the Devil would have it Miss Rigby sat alongside of Mrs Macgregor on the same sofa and if I had taken pains how to contrive a mortification for Walter I could not I am sure have fallen upon a greater than showing him the two women in such near contrast— And then Mrs Arthur Helps is like Titania Queen of the fairies!11 as lovely in her diminitive proportions as Miss Rigby is beautiful in her Gigantic ones! But when a man marries such a woman as that he must have abjured forever his faculty of drawing comparisons. Or have privately predetermined to take a mistress!— Now Do not think I am attaching absurd importance to looks— I care less for beauty so called than most people—indeed I am certain that the women most truly and passionately loved are very rarely if ever regular beauties—but it is the expression of a mean meagre soul that is stamped on Mrs Macgregors face and manners and whole bearing which I cannot abide. And I am the more vexed at Walter having chosen such a wife because I am persuaded he was at a turning point in his own inward life—and that this new influence which he has subjected himself to will prevent all the good aspirations that lay in him from ever working themselves into a practical shape— Henceforth he is doomed to ambitious mediocrity—the pitiablest state in nature— I ought to say however that John Carlyle thinks "Walter has got a pretty little woman for a wife"—!!
And now my dear I have written myself into such a passion on a subject which I have really after all no special concern with—that I must leave the better things I had to say till another opportunity—
I saw Mrs Fraser on Saturday forenoon—she was out of bed on a sofa—but still very feeble and dreadfully excited— She had heard that her husband was ill—had also been dilirious for some days after the trial—and absolutely you would have said that she was dying to go to him and comfort him! She loves the man passionately—there is not a doubt of it—after all the woe he has brought her!! And in this moral slavery lies the fearfulest prospect for her. It would make anybody weep to hear how she defends him—finds out excuses for him—always ending with "Oh poor William!— God pity him! Where can he wander?" They are selling prints of him about the Streets under the name of the handsome Husband.
Again thanks and kisses to the morning Star and your sweet self and love to them all. And do not think me ill natured on your new kinswoman—you will find when she returns that the aversion is quite mutual or I am greatly mistaken
Your own /
Jane Carlyle

If you're like us, laundry is one of, if not your least favorite thing on this earth to do. Luckily, LG is trying to change that with their SteamWasher ($TBA; Q2 2006), that not only washes clothes, but uses a unique "steamfresh cycle" to release wrinkles without the use of water or detergent as well. So you're telling me there's a washing machine out there that cleans and irons my clothes without me doing a darn thing? Holy crap.

We know we shouldn't love this Tropical Floral Blazer ($33), but we do. The floral is a touch too literal, and also a touch too much like the pattern on Grandma's upholstered patio furniture. It might be a bad decision, but it's only a $33 bad decision - when you break it down that's only, like, two craft cocktails plus tip.

Bar-Code Scanners in the ED
Everything about that vision is coming to your Emergency Department, everything except the chimes, the quiet, the politeness, and the happiness. The bar-code scanners, however, perhaps.
This is a pre- and post- study from The Ohio State University regarding their use of handheld scanners for medication verification (BCMA). Our hospital system uses these throughout the inpatient services to verify and provide decision-support for nurses at the final step of the medication delivery process. However, given the chaotic nature of the Emergency Department, we have not yet implemented them in that environment. Ohio State, on the other hand, has forged ahead – requiring all medication administrations be verified by bar-code scanner, excepting a small number of "emergency" medications that may be given via override. They also excluded patients in their resuscitation areas from this requirement.
Across the 2,000 medication administrations observed in the pre- and post- implementation periods, there were reductions in essentially all types various drug administration errors, leading to 63/996 errors in pre- and 12/982 in the post-. Therefore, these authors conclude – hurrah!
However, none of these errors were serious – and only one even met criteria for "possible temporary harm". The majority of errors were "wrong dose", and involved sedatives, narcotics, and nausea medications the most. Certainly, the potential for prevention of a significant drug event may be reduced with this system, but it would require much greater statistical power to detect such an effect. These authors do not touch much upon any unintended consequences of their implementation – such as delays in treatment, changes in LOS, or qualitative frustration with the system. A better accounting for these effects would assist in fully assessing the utility of this intervention in the Emergency Department.
"Effect of Barcode-assisted Medication Administration on Emergency Department Medication Errors"

I just wanted to commend you on bringing to light the issue of barcode scanning in the emergency department on EM Lit of Note. I, for one, am not all impressed by the article at all.ReplyDelete
You bring up many points in your critique of the article that I see and experience firsthand everyday since barcode scanning went live in our ED: potential delays to treatment, physical space in the ED to allow for nurses to have mobile computers to facilitate scanning, network capability of the mobile computers in the ED (Internet access can be pretty shoddy in many EDs due to location), and errors embedded within the system of scanning in nurses taking extra steps to scan a medication. So often so, our nurses have many frustrations with the system, and they end up overriding scanning the medications altogether to prevent delays in treatment, which defeats the intent of the process. Even more so, nurses now seem so concerned about ensuring that the medication is scanned through the system that the sight of the bigger picture is lost. It is quite disappointing.
I can see the role of barcode scanning on the inpatient units for patients who are admitted to the floors, as they may be on several daily medications, and with the nature of the floors, nurses are generally assigned less patients to care for at a time. Because of this, they have more time to scan the medications, along with the resources and space on the floors to allow for barcode scanning to work there. But the ED is a whole different world, with a workflow that is not all that predictable, and bar code scanning takes away from immediate and optimal patient care.Replies

I think the potential for patient care delay will always be there anytime new technology is introduced. The key is refinement of workflows and elimination of obstacles. This is how we have made it a success in our ED. The perceptions that other care areas have time and thus can bar-code scan is a presumptive statement. I would argue bar-code scanning has a place anywhere as long as med administration occur. It has consistently shown to have reduce occurrences of med errors even in the ED leading to optimal care.Delete
No question there are exceptions in which bar-code scanning should be excluded...Codes, Rapid Responses or Traumas. In all other scenarios, in my opinion, scanning should be utilized.

DeKALB, Ill. - What originally was meant to be the final daily double practice of the 2012 fall camp, turned into Northern Illinois' football's first game preparation practice for its season opening game versus Iowa, Sept. 1 at Solder Field. The Huskies wore shoulder pads and thigh pads during practice, though the team practiced at thud tempo with little-to-no contact.Late last night, Head Coach Dave Doeren notified the team that they would have the morning practice off to sleep in and rest up for their first game preparations. Doeren elaborated on the decision and said "we had 19 good practices (during camp) and after watching the film last night, it felt like the guys needed to get their legs back a little bit. It gave our guys a chance to have a little more zip today."After the team stretch, special teams started practice off. Senior linebacker Tyrone Clark stood on the sideline, encouraging his teammates on the the punt team to focus and work hard. As junior defensive back Dominique Ware stepped off the field to let the backups work on punt coverage, he told the other players on the sideline, with some vibrato, "camp is over!"Showing crispness and effort of assignment, and encouragement given from peers throughout practice, the aura of September 1st was in the air and could be felt on the sidelines and in the stands.Like his players, Coach Doeren was anxious for game week. "We transitioned to the start of our Iowa preparations and we had a really good tempo tonight during practice. Now we start the next part of our journey - working on the scout teams, getting our special teams right and moving forward." During the split team sessions with the first team defense on the North side of the stadium and first team offense on the South side, the scout teams were organized and ran the Hawkeyes scouted plays."I think they had a good attitude about it," said Doeren of the scout team in their first session of 2012. "I know some wish they were playing. Obviously the redshirt year is tougher on some than on others. Some know they need the year (to get stronger), while others wish they didn't. The big picture here is 'what can I do to help the team?' and I think the guys understand that."The Huskies will continue their game preparations up until the Soldier Field Showdown with Iowa and are not scheduled scrimmage the rest of camp.Tickets for the Sept. 1 NIU-Iowa contest at Soldier Field are on sale to the general public through Ticketmaster, as well as the NIU Athletics Ticket Office. Fans can order tickets online at Ticketmaster.com, by calling the Ticketmaster toll-free number at 1-800-745-3000, or in person at any Ticketmaster outlet. The NIU Athletics Ticket Office is open Monday-Friday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
Northern Illinois 2012 football season tickets are on sale now through the NIU Athletics External Office at 815-753-1923 or online at NIUHuskies.com for just $120 for the full six-game Huskie Stadium season. Mini plans, featuring any three Huskie Stadium games, can be purchased for $60, while NIU's new HuskieLand Plan tickets provide a ticket to the home opener versus Tennessee-Martin (Sept. 8), the Kansas game (Sept. 22) and the MAC West rivalry game versus Toledo (Nov. 14) along with $45 in gift cards from Buffalo Wild Wings, Village Commons Bookstore and Hy-Vee.

Finnix is a small, self-contained, bootable Linux CD distribution for system administrators, based on Debian testing. Today marks the release of Finnix 104, the twentieth release of Finnix. Since the first public release of Finnix 0.03 in March 2000, there have been twenty releases and 37 ISOs released to the public, totalling 4.5GB . (All releases have included x86 and PowerPC ISOs, with the exception of Finnix 0.03, 86.0, and 100.)
Finnix 104 is a maintenance and rollup release, including updated upstream Debian software, Linux kernel 3.2, small functionality updates and a large number of bug fixes.
(Finnix 104 is being released on Valentine's Day, and while Finnix releases are sometimes timed to specific dates, today is otherwise a coincidence. However, rest assured that Finnix does love you.)
Great! Thank you, Finnie!
hey. great job on the ppc support. the x86 is not too shabby etiher. however under efi mode, the finnix cannot find itself. it scans through the devices and then gives up. now why would that be?
im using grub 1.99 compiled for 64bit efi.
Great release,
Good that you still support ppc.
Thanks again

Re: Stockton, B Hansen, P Manning, R Kelley 1985 jacuzzi
Payton feels he was better than Stockton, but he concedes that the former Utah Jazz guard had a remarkable basketball IQ.
"I really think I was better as an athlete and in everything all-around," Payton said. "But he was just a smarter basketball player than us. He just got it done. I do think I was a better basketball player. I can do more things skills-wise. He just showed he knew how to play the game and that was the biggest difference."

The Maltese islands of Malta and Gozo lie in the central Mediterranean, midway between Sicily and North Africa. The total area is small, only 316 sq km/122 sq mi, and is low-lying and flat.
The weather and climate are strongly influenced by the sea and have a very characteristic Mediterranean flavour, similar to that found in southern Italy or southern Greece.
Winters are mild, with only rare occurrences of cold weather brought by north and northeast winds from central Europe. Summers are warm, dry, and very sunny.
Daytime temperatures in summer are usually mitigated by cooling sea breezes, but in spring and autumn a very hot wind from Africa occasionally brings unpleasantly high temperatures. This is the sirocco, which also affects Italy and Greece; in Malta the air is usually rather drier because of the short sea track from the African coast.
Annual rainfall in Malta is rather low and the length of the dry season in summer is longer than in southern Italy. Malta has a very sunny climate with an average of five to six hours of sunshine a day in midwinter and over twelve hours a day in summer.
The table for Valletta shows weather that is characteristic of Malta.

SPIN project descriptionSpontaneous Ice Nucleation II
SummaryThe Spontaneous Ice Nucleation II (SPIN) project flew the Sabreliner in a continuation of earlier efforts to study high altitude atmospheric aerosols via sample collections and in-flight experiments, predominantly in wave clouds, where the time history of droplet and ice particle growth can be reconstructed (the "Spontaneous Ice Nucleation problem"). Liquid water microphysics were measured and compared with that predicted on the basis of a droplet growth model. Ice crystal samples were collected, studied, and compared with crystals formed in the laboratory. Air filter samples were taken to identify chemical constituents in the air and particle samples. A laboratory investigation of spontaneous ice nucleation was undertaken to further the understanding of cirrus cloud behavior. This project was run by Donald E. Hagen, Research Associate Professor at the University of Missouri-Rolla, and Andrew J. Heymsfield, Scientist at NCAR/MMM Division.

The Michigan Tech chapter of the American Chemical Society (ACS) was worried that not many people would show up for their fundraiser, especially considering they had to cancel part of it due to technical difficulties.
However, enough people came to justify a waiting list.
The fundraiser, a Euchre tournament held last Friday night in the Wadsworth Annex, was a wild success for ACS.
The fundraiser was actually meant to be two tournaments: a Euchre tournament, and a "League of Legends" tournament. However, due to what the organizers described as "technical difficulties," the "League of Legends" tournament was cancelled.
Thanks to the upcoming Winter Carnival, the power boxes that would needed for the computers in the "League of Legends" tournament were mostly checked out by fraternities and student organizations working on snow statues.
To make up for the cancelled event, video game consoles were hooked up to the TVs in the annex for people to play. This proved to be a wise choice, as more people signed up to play Euchre than there were tables set up; the consoles gave teams something to do while waiting for tables to become available.
Although the ACS had a game night fundraiser last year, it was not nearly as popular or successful explained ACS member Audra Winter. The group was completely taken by surprise at the number of people that showed up to play, and Winter said they hope to have their "Leauge of Legends" tournament later in the year, when the power boxes will presumably be more available.
There were a number of prizes available including a box of truffles, gift cards to Orbit and a Michigan Tech sweatshirt. Some of the prizes were set aside for the winner of the tournament, but most were given away raffle-style. All paying entrants received a ticket for their entry, and for each round a team survived in the single-elimination tournament they received another ticket. Tickets could also be purchased directly.
In the end, about twenty teams signed up to play in the tournament. Also, five or six people came just to play video games and hang out.

I just read this article which I find concerning:
"After 90 minutes of troubleshooting, Nash traced the problem to TeamViewer, which he used to remotely administer the client's servers. It turns out the program had opened up its own webserver on the client's machine as soon as Apache went down and in the process made it impossible for the client, a large provider of business software, to restart its proper website."
I started using TeamViewer recently because it's just much better than UltraVNC (runs on both XP and Vista, the server dials out instead of requiring the user to open a port on their router + better performance than UVNC)... but I thought that TeamViewer had both the server and client connect out to TV's web server for data to flow between the two hosts.
Why does TV even need to open a web server on the server host?

California's waterscape has been modified beyond all recognition, but what we've got is nothing compared to a 1950s proposal which would have essentially turned the Klamath, Trinity & Eel Rivers into long, thin lakes:
This wasn't the only spooky plan on tap; poke around this Halloween post on the California Water Blog and you'll find a plan to fire water from cannons to receiving stations miles away. And a scheme which would have turned S.F. Bay into a giant freshwater lake.
Thankfully, none of these plans became a reality, but then, I didn't get my atomic-powered personal flying car either.
See you in the 50s, Tom Chandler.
