KANSAS CITY, MO -- The Lincoln Memorial University men's basketball team extended their South Atlantic Conference record streak to 38-consecutive weeks ranked in the NABC/Division II Coaches Poll, as they remained in the top-25 despite falling four spots to No. 20 in this week's rankings. Officials unveiled the latest NABC/Division II poll late Tuesday afternoon.
The Railsplitters fell from No. 16 to No. 20 in this week's poll after a split week that saw LMU capture a 107-75 victory over Mars Hill on Wednesday evening before falling 113-98 to Newberry on Saturday evening. The 'Splitters notched a 61.6% effort from the field and placed five players in double-figures in their win over the Lions to start the week, however, they would fall victim to a hot-shooting effort from the Wolves on Saturday. Newberry canned 16 of their 34 three-point attempts in the game and went 16-16 from the charity stripe over the final five minute stretch of regulation to ice the win in Tex Turner Arena.
With just over two weeks remaining in the regular season, the Railsplitters are locked in a two-way tie with Carson-Newman for the third spot in the South Atlantic Conference standings at 9-3 in league play. Lincoln Memorial boast a 16-4 overall record, which also matches the Eagle's season mark. The 'Splitters have six games left on the schedule and look to maneuver their toughest stretch of the year to close out the regular season. On February 16th, the Railsplitters are poised to battle the Anderson University Trojans in Anderson, South Carolina, where they will look to avenge a heartbreaking 67-66 loss to the Trojans from back on January 12th. Anderson currently is tied atop the SAC standings at 10-2 in league draws. The Railsplitters will also have to venture to Wingate University on February 27th looking to cap the season sweep over the Bulldogs. The 'Dogs are knotted in that two-way tie with Anderson in first place in the SAC. Prior to that contest, the Railsplitters a re slated to host Carson-Newman (2/20) and Lenoir-Rhyne (2/23) in back-to-back games. Lenoir-Rhyne is currently fifth in the SAC standings at 7-5 in league play.
The Railsplitters look to rebound from their loss to Newberry on Saturday with a trip to Brevard College tomorrow evening. The Tornados come into that game with a 2-10 mark in the SAC. That game is slated to tip at 8 p.m. in Brevard, North Carolina.

The event will feature LaDonna Gatlin.
Gatlin was born into a family of entertainers —the Gatlin family. Her brothers, Larry, Steve and Rudy were "old pros" in the music business when she joined the group. As soon as she could carry a tune, she joined the group and the Gatlin Trio became the Gatlin Quartet. She stopped pursuing a career in country music in 1976. She now empowers people to "sing their own song" through their words, their deeds, and their actions.
Her personal story with a timeless message will inspire the listener to live their values from the inside out. Laced with humor and heartfeft personal stories, this keynote delivers seven key principles that can guide us through anything life throws at us.

Fourteen members of the Tuesday Study Club were present at the Nov. 20, meeting at the home of Linda Beam.
Jo Yock's short program was about turkey growing and turkey trivia. Turkeys are grown mostly in confinement because of the difficulties of weather, snowstorms, and predators when they are grown outdoors. About 45 million turkeys are consumed at Thanksgiving, 22 million at Christmas, and 19 million at Easter.
Barb Hahnfeldt told about the game Mah Jongg, which originated in China in about 1880 and is still one of the most played games there today. The game was brought to the United States in about 1920 and was extremely popular during the '30s, '40s, and '50s. The game is played with small rectangular tiles stamped with symbols and characters. The name Mah Jongg is loosely translated as "clattering sparrows," referring to the sound of the tiles when they are mixed or shuffled. The National Mah Jongg League publishes a card each year which lists various combinations of tiles. The players pick and discard tiles in order to assemble combinations. The first player to assemble the correct combinations of tiles needed to make one of the hands listed on the card wins. Every tile has its own symbolism, reflecting culture, ideals, and spiritual values, so the game is played with many symbolic metaphors of life. Barb enjoys playing Mah Jongg one afternoon a week with a group of other Mah Jongg enthusiasts.
The next meeting will be a Christmas party on December18th at the home of Myrna Eppeland. Myrna Eppeland and Clarice Fastenau will serve a luncheon at 1 p.m. and present the program. Members may bring a Christmas ornament of about $5 for a gift exchange.

Berkshire 'A' Shares, Soon Available In Pennies
Berkshire Hathaway's stock picker-in-chief Warren Buffett is one of the world's great bargain hunters. Investors soon may be able to get an ever-so-slightly better deal on Berkshire's famously pricey "A" shares.
Starting Sept. 16, the New York Stock Exchange plans to begin trading and quoting Berkshire Hathaway Inc. in pennies, according to a Thursday notice from the exchange. That means that the stock's mammoth price – $168,180 on Thursday afternoon – will move in one-cent increments, rather than the current ten cents.
Right now, if someone wanted to boost the bid for one of Berkshire's A shares on the NYSE, he or she would need to quote the price at 168,250.10, rather than 168,250.01, as one would do with less-dear stocks. The Big Board is making the change after rival exchanges already have shifted to trading the Berkshire shares in pennies, potentially creating difficulties between NYSE's policy of rounding trades to the nearest ten-cent increment and U.S. market rules requiring trades to occur at the most-competitive price available nationally.
Traders aren't likely to notice much difference – an average 370 Berkshire A shares change hands per day, a miniscule number compared to a stock like Bank of America, where more than 88 million shares trade daily, according to data from FactSet.
However, the shift comes as exchanges and brokers have broadly backed the idea of again trading securities in broader increments, like five or ten cents.
Enabling more-expensive or thinly traded stocks to move in wider "ticks" makes it easier on traders who quote prices in such securities, experts say. Greater profits per share for the traders and salesmen who deal in smaller-cap stocks could mean an incentive to keep such securities liquid and promote them to investors, the thinking goes.
NYSE is one backer of the idea. "Many other global markets have far more flexible tick size regimes," Big Board officials wrote in a March blog post. "Some academic research shows this lack of flexibility within the U.S. markets may increase investor costs" by reducing liquidity, NYSE officials wrote.
The shift may mean less to Mr. Buffett, who long refused to list Berkshire's stock on the NYSE because he didn't want it to become too heavily traded; the shares traded on the over-the-counter market until 1988 when they listed on the Big Board. That view didn't stop Mr. Buffett from discussing a potential purchase of the NYSE late last year, ahead of its agreed sale to rival IntercontinentalExchange, people familiar with the matter said earlier this year.

Built in 1901 this Saat Kulesi or clock tower has become the landmark of Izmir. The city might have had others, but in 1922 a fire destroyed, during the Greek-Turkish war, most of the old city. A terrible loss. The clock tower is at Konak, which can be considered the heart of the city. The sea is at two hundred meters, but I was informed it used to be at the seaside in the twenties.

Firefighters say one of the most common mistakes people make is placing items too close to heaters.
"When you hear 'space heater', that's exactly what it is. It needs space," said Jimmy Hoffer of the Meridian Fire Department.
Hoffer cautioned against hanging clothing, towels and other flammables near any kind of heater, or covering a floor furnace, for instance, with a rug. Furnaces should also be cleaned with a vacuum each season, before being lit.
Beside smoke alarms, fire officials also now advise residents to have carbon monoxide detectors. Heaters may not function properly and may emit the odorless gas that can be fatal.

As Eagle prepares for the May 22 Eagle River Station referendum, one of the biggest rumors circulating around town relates to the long-term plans for City Market in Eagle.
While the town is prohibited from singling out a single business when reporting sales tax revenues, the Market Street commercial area, which includes City Market, is responsible for 46 percent of the community's overall sales tax collections. Because the supermarket contributes the lion's share of the community's sales tax revenues, Eagle officials became nervous when the rumors concerning a possible move for the supermarket surfaced.
Town consultant Arne Ray of Ray Real Estate Services looked into the issue and reported that Kroger, the parent company of City Market, has recently been expanding existing stores to 60,000 to 70,000 square feet. The Eagle City Market is 38,000 square feet and its site is space constrained.
Kelly McGannon of City Market responded to the issue this week by noting the company likes its Eagle site and the store is profitable. What's more she noted the company owns, not leases, its current Eagle site. McGannon added City Market is committed to continuing operations in the downvalley area.
"Are there some limitations to the Eagle store? Sure. The site is limited regarding ways to expand it," said McGannon. "And of course, we are always looking at other sites."
McGannon said City Market has looked at ways to expand the Eagle store and a possible relocation to the ERS property. McGannon said Kroger is not "actively pursuing" a relocation to ERS at this time.
McGannon also noted that the company does not have a "one-size-fits-all" plan for store expansions but rather looks at each individual community, and that would be the case in Eagle.

STOCKTON - After 50 years of running upholstery fabrics through the same sewing machine, Ronnie Giovacchini is hanging up his needles, scissors, wrenches and other tools at Dante's Modern Auto Top, a business started by his father, the late Dante Giovacchini, in 1946.
There's still plenty of demand for his skills in repairing seats for cars, pickups, commuter buses and farm tractors, upholstering furniture for area restaurants and more, but Giovacchini said he wants to retire, and there's no one to take over.
"I have plenty of work, but I just don't want to work no more," he said Friday at the shop at 204 N. Grant St. in downtown Stockton.
"I just want to thank everyone who ever walked through these doors. There are so many people who supported us."
"I know my dad would like to thank everyone, too."
Steve Spatola, a Stockton resident who collects and restores classic cars, is one of those customers. Dante's provided upholstery work on several of his hot rods, including prize-winning 1967 and 1968 Cougar XR7s.
"It's kind of a landmark for guys who are in the collector car business," he said Friday.
So what kept Dante's customers coming back?
"Talent, quality, knowledge - all that stuff - just doesn't grow on trees," Spatola said. "You know you'll get the quality of work you expect."
That skill was hard won.
Giovacchini, who turned 65 in September, said he began helping around the shop when he was just 11 and began using the sewing machine, the same one still in service today, at age 15.
But now he's wrapping things up.
"I'm not taking on new work. I'm just going to finish what I've got here, and then that's it," he said.
The last project is a 1956 Cadillac Eldorado, the model with the classic shark fin fenders. He's crafted a new vinyl cover to stretch over the hardtop and will completely refit the interior, door and side panels, headliner and seats.
It make take another week or two, depending on when the necessary parts come in, then Giovacchini will clean out the shop and look to sell or rent out the property.
Beyond that, he plans to travel and, as a hot rod enthusiast himself, restore a couple of classic cars he owns.
Oh, and he's taking the old sewing machine home, as well, in case he ever needs to "sew up a pair of jeans," or ...

I recently formatted my PC and did a fresh install of PMS. I believe that codec installation for Windows doesn't affect PMS but just for added measure, I also did a fresh install of Media Player Classic, madVR and LAV Filters and set the LAV filters as my preferred ones. Now for the issue at hand...
I have some ogm files which used to work flawlessly on PMS 1.72.0 before I formatted my pc, with the ability to select different audio streams and external subs. Now, attempting to play any via mencoder gives the "This content cannot be played (800288E1)" message. Settings are all the same as I had originally had them, so I can't figure out what the issue is. The videos will play through FFmpeg but external subs won't work and I'd rather have the convenience of using mencoder. mkv, avi, mp4, m2ts and other video formats all work without a hitch.

text: It has long been recognized that archaeology is an indispensable tool for interpreting the Bible because it provides cultural, historical, social, religious, and linguistic information that sheds light on the context of biblical passages. The program offers a concentration in Old Testament and Near Eastern Studies and emphasizes four areas: Archaeology, Biblical Geography, Biblical Languages, and Biblical Studies. There is a required semester of study in Israel at Jerusalem University College (JUC) and six weeks of summer excavation for credit.This program provides students with a solid basis for doctoral studies in Archaeology, Ancient History, Biblical Studies, and Church History. Students are not required to write a thesis but may do so if granted permission by an advisor and the department. All students are required to pass a comprehensive exam unless the thesis option has been granted. Those who consider this program as a terminal degree will be well trained for teaching courses in Old and New Testament, Bible backgrounds, ancient history, and archaeology in church and school settings. Admission is contingent upon current U.S. State Department travel advisories for the Middle East. Prerequisite Requirements Admission to the program does not require a specific undergraduate major. Students must, however, demonstrate: a basic knowledge of Bible content and historical periods of the Old or New Testament; and prerequisite competency in Hebrew. Competency is defined as passing a competency exam or taking HEBR 301,(or BL 610 at JUC), 302, and 401.

About Us > Newsroom > Lung Disease Researcher Wins Three-Year Grant
Lung disease researcher at National Jewish Health receives three-year grant
Rachel Zemans, MD, a physician-researcher in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care at National Jewish Health, was recently selected as one of 18 researchers nationwide to receive the Parker B. Francis Fellowship to support her research into the role of inflammation in lung diseases.
Dr. Zemans's research explores the clinical implications of abnormal immune responses in the body leading to inflammatory damage in the lung, which is believed to contribute to the development of many lung diseases including emphysema, cystic fibrosis and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In her research, she tracks the mechanism by which neutrophils, while containing and destroying pathogens, can turn against the body and swiftly start a chain reaction that causes myriad lung diseases. Her goal is to find the pathways by which these wayward neutrophils injure the lung, and to block those pathways to prevent or diminish lung injury and disease.
Dr. Zemans's research has the potential to help more than 40 million people in the United States who suffer or die from lung diseases, and many more millions of people with respiratory diseases throughout the world.
National Jewish Health is known worldwide for treatment of patients with respiratory, cardiac, immune and related disorders, and for groundbreaking medical research. Founded in 1899 as a nonprofit hospital, National Jewish remains the only facility in the world dedicated exclusively to these disorders. For 12 consecutive years, U.S. News & World Report has ranked National Jewish the #1 respiratory hospital in the nation. Scholarly publisher Thomson Scientific has ranked National Jewish among the 25 most influential research institutions in the world in its areas of focus.
In 1951, Parker B. Francis, founder of the Puritan-Bennett Company, established a foundation bearing his name in Kansas City, Mo. Since Puritan-Bennett was a leading manufacturer of respiratory equipment and medical gases, the primary emphasis of the Foundation was related to pulmonary research. Today, the Francis Family Foundation remains the sole benefactor of the Parker B. Francis Fellowship Program; in addition to supporting educational and cultural programs geographically located within the greater Kansas City area. Since 1976, the Foundation has contributed more than $50 million to the Fellowship Program in support of more than 750 Fellows.

I recently blogged about tracking metadata locks in the latest MySQL, and now I want to discuss how to track these metadata locks in MariaDB.
In MySQL 5.7, there is a table named `metadata_locks` added to the performance_schema (performance_schema must be enabled *and* the metadata_locks instrument must be specifically enabled as well.
In the MariaDB 10.0 implementation (as of 10.0.7), there is a table named METADATA_LOCK_INFO added to the *information_schema*. This is a new plugin, so the plugin must be installed, but that is very simple with:
INSTALL SONAME 'metadata_lock_info';

This coffee is smooth and rich and doesn't taste bitter. I like strong coffee but I don't like a burnt flavor. The vacuum packaging keeps the beans very fresh.

Hey Guys,
I have been searching everywhere for a fix on how to get my XBOX 360 to work with PMS after I recently upgraded to Windows 8. Everything from changing the wrapper.conf file and the XBOX360.conf file to forcing a specific IP, turning on media sharing and trying to work around that, opening ports on my router and firewall and none of those seemed to work. I even went and tried to use serviio with no luck. I then though stuff it I'll just using Windows Media Server and convert mkv files to mp4 etc etc. But low and behold that didn't work so i went though the Microsoft troubleshooting guide and low and behold PMS work perfectly after using there trouble shooting guide to get Windows Media Server to work with my Extender (XBOX 360) please find below a link to the guide i followed that solved EVERY problem I've been having with streaming to my XBOX 360 using PMS (problem include XBOX not being found, to XBOX being found but not able to see files, seeing files but then dropping out etc etc etc)
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/wind ... refirewall
the guide is for windows 7 however it's easy adopted to windows 8 and it worked a treat for all my problems I just hope it works for any of yours.
Just whenever you create a rule (if using windows firewall) create a custom rule and work from there. I found that using the custom rule gave me all the options needed to creat the whole rule set out in the guide above.
Any questions or help needed don't be afraid to ask, as i had heaps but i could not get any answers.
EDIT: I went through this troubleshooting with a friend who was having the same problem however his videos skipped/paused/ kept playing with no audio then the audio would catch up while the video paused etc so I followed this FAQ as well and it worked a charm for him, went through the options one by one following the instructions and his is working just as well as mine now.

Watch the Google I/O 2014 Keynote here, live! [Video]
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Cell Phones, Corporate News, Google, Software, Videos
Google I/O 2014 kicks off today, with the big keynote starting at 9:00 AM PDT / 12:00 PM EDT, and you can join in and watch the presentation in the player above. What are we expecting to hear about during the Google I/O 2014 keynote? Well, the biggest piece of news will likely be the reveal of the next version of Android, likely Android 5.0. We'll get a look at the future of Android smartphones and tablets, in addition to set-top boxes. Google will be showing off a new Android TV set-top box, which is interesting since Google TV hardware failed so miserably over the last few years. Wearables should also be big today, with Google Glass and Android Wear devices getting some stage time. Google also typically releases Google+ updates during the I/O keynote as well.
What are you hoping to hear about from Google this morning?

A look at the T-Mobile Test Drive iPhone package [Hands-on]
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Cell Phones, Features, Handhelds
As we reported a few days ago, T-Mobile has introduced Test Drive, which allows both current T-Mobile customers and those in other carriers (or who have no cell provider at all) to borrow an iPhone 5s from the company for 7 days. That includes unlimited talk, text, and data with the only current T-Mobile device that supports all the wireless band's used by the company. It's an effort to show, not just tell, the US population that it's greatly improved its wireless network and tuned it for massive data use.
After the T-Mobile Uncarrier 5.0 event we were able to get our hands on one of the iPhone 5s Test Drive units, and we've included some images here. Inside the box is what we assume is a refurbished black iPhone 5s, along with a sealed Lightning cable, Earpods, and AC adapter. It's definitely not the Apple unboxing experience, but that isn't the point. As far as storage capacity, our iPhone 5s is a 32GB model, so there is room to try downloading apps, videos, and images.

Uncarrier 6.0: T-Mobile now gives all customers free, unlimited streaming music
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Cell Phones, Corporate News, Music, Wireless / WiFi
At yesterday's T-Mobile Uncarrier 5.0 event, the company surprised everyone by also announced Uncarrier 6.0: absolutely free unlimited streaming music. Dubbed "Music Freedom," T-Mobile CEO John Legere revealed that any T-Mobile customer can stream music from Pandora, iHeartRadio, iTunes Radio, Spotify, Slacker, Rhapsody, Milk, and Beatport without having to worry about data caps. To make it clear, Legere stated "Every single note of music will come free, not against your bucket. Even when you exhaust your data bucket, you can still stream unlimited music at high speed." The services mentioned account for 85% of music streamed on T-Mobile, but the company isn't stopping there. For example, services like Rdio and Google Play All Access Music will be part of an online voting area that T-Mobile is providing to allow customers to choose which other music services they'd like to see added. The goal is to add a few new services each month.
If you already have an unlimited T-Mobile account, you aren't left in the cold. The company also announced a partnership with Rhapsody unRadio, an app that is available to anyone on any carrier, and T-Mobile unlimited customers get free access, while limited T-Mobile customers get a 20% off discount and pay $4 per month. If you aren't on T-Mobile, you pay $5 for unRadio.
Uncarrier 5.0 was the T-Mobile Test Drive, which sees the company giving anyone in the US an iPhone 5s for free for a week to try out the T-Mobile network.
Uncarrier 5.0: T-Mobile will lend you an iPhone 5s for 7 days to Test Drive its network
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds, Wireless / WiFi
During last nights T-Mobile Uncarrier 5.0 event here in Seattle, the company announced its Uncarrier 5.0 T-Mobile Test Drive, the next phase in its battle to separate itself from the typical pack of mobile wireless carriers. The Test Drive starts on June 23rd, and will see T-Mobile lending anyone in the US an iPhone 5s at no cost for a full seven days. What's the point? Well, T-Mobile CEO John Legere says that the company has been rapidly building its network coverage, and wants to prove it to anyone who wants to give it a try by providing the "latest and greatest" iPhone and unlimited voice, text, and data for the duration of the Test Drive.
The other item that the Test Drive aims to accomplish is increasing awareness that T-Mobile offers the iPhone as an option on its network. Apparently, since it took them so long to get the iPhone originally, the mind share just isn't there. This could change that. Apparently, Apple is on board with the strategy, as its the one that is providing the iPhone 5s units to T-Mobile for the Test Drive program, free of charge as part of a "growing partnership" between the two. Of course, it would stand to reason that Apple would want consumers to be aware that its devices are available on the nation's fastest growing network.
After your Test Drive, if you want to join T-Mobile, you won't be able to keep the same iPhone that you used during the trial, as that device will be wiped and returned to the pool of Test Drive devices. If you decide to keep it, T-Mobile will charge you $700 for the iPhone, and if you significantly damage it, the price will be $100 to repair it.
What do you think? Will you give the T-Mobile Test Drive a chance?
At the event, T-Mobile also announced unlimited, free music streaming on its network.

Over the past couple of years, I've had issues with rashes that appear on the insole of my foot. I've been to the podiatrist, and it was determined not to be athlete's foot, but an allergic dermatitis from some compound in the shoes (be it glue, dyes, etc). I have struggled to find shoes that are fit for running, and yet hypoallergenic.
Does anyone have any insight into a solution for this? I suppose that some sort of insole that was hypoallergenic would work... but it would need to cover the bottom of the shoe 100% to prevent whatever hurts my feet from leaching to my foot.
Silly topic I know... but it has prevented me from starting to seriously run
Interesting. If you wear socks, have you already ruled out some component of your socks (latex/stretchy stuff or rayon or polyester?) or laundry soap residue that leaches out from the socks when your feet sweat? The reason I ask is that often allergic dermatitis is from direct contact (it's often called "contact dermatitis"). I realize it could be something soaking into your socks/feet from the shoes, but don't overlook any possible source. Also keep in mind that "hypoallergenic" doesn't mean "non-allergenic." It just means that most people don't react to it. In that context, I imagine most shoe insole materials could be considered "hypoallergenic" since the vast majority of people don't react to them.
I speak from experience, although not with regard to running shoe materials... sorry! This sounds funny but I develop a raging rash on my eyelids if there is the slightest speck of red/pink pigment in eye makeup, even if the product is liberally labeled "hypoallergenic" and even if the saleswoman insists over and over, "don't worry, we thoroughly test our products and they won't cause allergies." Yes, they will, if my specific allergen is in it. I can wear those pigments on other parts of my face, just not on my eyelids. Obviously my problem is trivial by comparison... I only mention it to point out how puzzling allergies can be. Maybe your feet are sensitive to something that the rest of you isn't. Who knows. I would see a dermatologist next for more specialized help in identifying the cause. Best of luck!
Thanks for the reply. I've pretty much ruled out anything that might reside in my socks. The main issue has to be shoes, because it often arises when I buy new shoes. I still wear shoes around the house for a week or two before walking outside, to attempt to test them out.... but I really think that it takes a good long sweaty day to activate whatever is driving me crazy.
This "bout" of allergic reactions has caused me to finally seek out a skin allergy testing. I have it scheduled for MArch 2nd. The thing is, ever since I had this happen to me (maybe 4 years ago) I've known that there were 2 major allergens found in shoes (potassium dichromate (chrome) and PTBP Formeldahyde Resin, which is used in adhesives)... I just never thought there was a way to test for them because my allergist said only very specific labs do it. It turns out that all dermatologists do this test and it's pretty common. Doh!
Thanks for the advice again... I'll have to stick it out until March, and then buy shoes that don't have my allergen. What a pain!
How interesting! Hopefully it will be one of those two things, so you don't have to spend even more time and money hunting down the source. If you think of it, post the answer if you find out. I seem to have bad luck with odd allergies (the eye makeup thing, and German shorthaired pointers... lol) so one can never be too vigilant! Good luck.
i have the same issue and have for years. it's driving me crazy right now. have you ever found shoes that don't cause you those problems?
I would also like to know the follow-up since your testing, but it's easy to get stuck on the details and miss the big picture. Allergies and hypersensitivities may be common, but they are not common enough to be considered "normal," or even a version of normal health. If they were universally acquired and lost, maybe, but an over-reaction by your immune system, to something that bothers few others, can be a symptom of a problem elsewhere. Like many in this forum, I've had allergies that I eventually lost, and I believe that can happen for anyone.
The rapidly developing field of epigenetics is showing how easily DNA can rearrange itself in response to environmental stimuli. The idea that some people just react a certain way to things as a result of genetic predisposition is no longer sufficient explanation for allergies, or almost anything else anymore. You may have been exposed to, or still in contact with, something else internal or external that has your immune system fighting things that are otherwise harmless. I wouldn't worry about it, but it is something worth exploring.
Allergy is a strange phenomenon. My skin reacts to latex in band aids and to the elastic in socks. Wearing diabetic socks that are without elastic (100% cotton) made a huge difference. However, I wore those socks with an old pair of New Balance running shoes, went swimming in the creek, then got the socks moist when putting them back on. Two hours later, only the feet were itching, not the leg covered by the upper part of the socks. Perhaps there is latex or some other allergen in the shoe which was activated or transported by the moisture.
Now I am seeking non-allergenic running shoes.

This version (126.96.36.199) does not work with Plantronics 510 bluetooth headset. Had to revert to 22.214.171.124 Beta.
Gave up trying to find a cordless stereo bluetooth headset for under $200. Got a cordless USB handset instead for $15 from china on ebay instead. Note that you need to download the Mac client SkyMACmate yourself as it doesn't come included on the installer cd.
Works well and allows me to make calls with my Windows friends.
Also the hidden setting in the recent builds that allows one to use 640×480 video is a really nice addition.
Also I love the new interface!
Not a cool interface, but it works.
Anyone got Bluetooth headsets working with Skype which they can recommend?
Works very well. Wouldn't mind the added option of choosing the icon colours like windows users do
the new universal beta version with video is out. works great so far. there's some echoing but the video looks good!
Good for charring to PC users. However, their Linux builds are heaps out of date and require brutal hacking to run on modern Linux systems. As well as this, they are x86 linux only - PPC Linux people are out of the question. And the Mac version doesn't have video. Oh well, we've got iChat, and that walks all over this.
The shortlived beta version 1.5 is a big step up from 1.4.X. Video is supported and the interface is much cleaner. Hopefully whatever drove them to remove it will be fixed soon and be back online!

Was the beer cup half full or half empty?
President Barack Obama's impact on what is arguably the Iowa State Fair's most storied watering hole has become a morning-after mini-debate over the breakfast bacon thanks to a tweet from Sen. Chuck Grassley, as well as fairgrounds chatter.
RELATED: Revealed: Obama has his own secret White House beer microbrewery
Obama's fair stop Monday evening required shutdown of the popular Bud Tent, the heart of fairgrounds nightlife at the intersection of E. 33rd Street and Grand Avenue. Fairgoers eager to greet the president were ushered inside, screened and scanned by the Secret Service and penned in by yellow caution tape. The entire production required at least two hours, and the president's sleek black coach bus pulled away from the Bud Tent by 8:30 p.m.
There are "two sides to this story," said Mike Cunningham II, the third generation owner of the 65-year-old Bud Tent.
On one hand, Cunningham, 39, appreciated the historical significance of Obama's visit: His great-grandfather, Lloyd Cunningham, was secretary of the fair board from 1942 to 1962 and was on hand to greet then-President Dwight Eisenhower when Ike visited the centennial fair in 1954 with Iowa's own President Herbert Hoover in tow. (That was the first of four visits by sitting presidents, followed by Gerald Ford in 1975, George W. Bush in 2002 and Obama on Monday.)
On the other hand, the small business owner side of Cunningham fumes that the president "put a damper on what I'm trying to do here." His Bud Tent was shut down at the most lucrative time of day, with a popular rock cover band, Hairball, about to perform at the Susan B. Knapp Amphitheater next door with legions of thirsty fans.
"I was in a position to make a campaign donation against my will," said Cunningham, a Republican.
Cunningham played the gracious host during the president's visit — smiled, posed for photos, raised a beer with Obama, gifted him a "Save Water; Drink Beer" T-shirt.
A tweet from Grassley Monday evening, in the senator's trademark abbreviated social media lingo, was one of the first signs of disgruntlement: "How does PresO justify havin secret service shut down the bud tent @ the state fair nd the owner told me he loses 50,000 n 1 nite."
Cunningham said that the more accurate figure for what he likely lost in sales Monday night is $25,000. He appreciated that fellow fair vendor Barksdale allowed him to set up a Bud beer station near the amphitheater stage and recoup some dollars from those Hairball fans.
To be clear, Obama did fork over cash to buy his own beer as he also offered to buy a round for 10 or so fairgoers in the vicinity.
Other vendors along the Grand Concourse seemed to enjoy business as usual.
Gary Kirke, owner of the nearby Jalapeño Pete's said the presidential visit had no effect on his sales.
The Bud Tent owner added that he hasn't yet replied to a phone message from Obama's staff asking him to respond publicly to Grassley's tweet.
"I wouldn't have voted for (Obama) before," Cunningham said. "I won't again."

Pounds of marijuana captured at airport, deputies say
Published: Monday, September 23, 2013 at 5:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 23, 2013 at 5:53 p.m.
MANATEE COUNTY - Two men allegedly carrying more than 60 pounds of marijuana were met with a surprise at the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport: a drug-sniffing dog.
Click here to view booking arrest photos from Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte jails at sarasotamugshots.com
Brett Mattson, 25, of Bradenton, and Shirden Coe, 35, of California, were arrested this weekend on drug trafficking charges.
Among the checked luggage in the plane's storage were two black suitcases and two blue suitcases carrying something other than the clothes and toiletries in their flying companions.
The luggage was stuffed with books, said Dave Bristow, spokesman for the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.
And inside the books? Marijuana worth more than $250,000.
Detectives were alerted on Sept. 15 that a man would be flying from California to the regional airport with narcotics. Bristow would not go into more detail about how that information was obtained.
When the flight arrived Saturday night, Coe and Mattson went with the unsuspecting people from their flight to the baggage claim area.
Unknown to the suspects, deputies intercepted the luggage before sending it on the pick-up carousel.
Dog Noeska sniffed approximately 20 pieces of luggage; The dog responded to four suitcases — two blue and two black, according to an arrest report.
When the luggage was placed on the carousel, Mattson and Coe took the suspicious bags, according to an arrest report. The men were immediately detained.
Coe gave permission for his suitcases to be searched. Mattson refused to speak with detectives without his attorney. Deputies obtained a search warrant for his luggage.
Inside the suitcases detectives found hollowed out books, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Hidden inside the books were 56 individual, vacuum-sealed bags of marijuana, according to the arrest report.
The bags combined for a weight of 63.1 pounds, worth $252,000.
"It was a little surprising," said Fredrick "Rick" Piccolo, president and chief executive of the airport. "This is the first sizeable incident that I can really recall. There might have been a couple of ounces discovered while going through security, but nothing like this."
The Manatee County Sheriff's Office worked jointly with the Airport Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Mattson has previously served time for selling marijuana, according to Manatee County court records. Coe has no previous arrests locally.
Both men face a felony charge of trafficking in marijuana. They are being held without bail at the Sarasota County jail.

Earlier today, Vivid released a second adult video starring Farah Abrahams. Like her first "sex tape," Farrah 2: Backdoor and More (link NSFW) co-stars James Deen. It also involves a stripper pole and a variety of sex swings. Congrats Farrah, you're officially a porn star now.
Despite her first video's success, Abraham later said the tape "ruined her life." From the looks of this second video—and considering her history of lying, that's probably not entirely true. And, of course, there's the line of sex toys she's selling in her image.

Unless a small miracle happens, OOXML is a standard. What's next?
(I withheld the release of this video in Free Software Magazine until I managed, with the help of a fantastic community member, to make it available in OGG format and in embedded video format. Thank you Michael Fötsch!)
how do we fight?
First let me say thank you for making this available in Ogg. I love FSM TV so cool that we are getting news this way.
I was really annoyed that OOXML was made a standard after signing petitions and campaigning against it. Almost seems like the public and professional Opinion don't matter anymore when deciding on policy. All they care about is who has the most money and who can threaten people the most. So how are supposed to fight when they don't care what we think anymore. How do we get this information out to non-geeks and the average person so they know how badly they are being shafted. I am just feeling a little powerless right now I am sure I am not the only one.
Microsoft has degraded the reputation of the ISO.
We Americans have watched our entire electoral process lose legitimacy as Bush stole elections in 2000 and 2004.
We're also seeing the government of China degrading the Olympic tradition to squash dissent regarding their occupation of Tibet.
This fiasco with OOXML and the ISO reminds me of how the United States has degraded the United Nations regarding the occupation of Iraq.
My suggestion is that we now consider whether we are forced by necessity to recognize a new international process for the definition of standards.

Update on my previous review. (Out of the box perf.)
Reviewed by Christo. Review Posted 01/05/2012
After some effort I have managed to double the Read speed from the NAS to 60 Megabytes per second, some 550mbps. I simply uninstalled the backup software and Seagate Dashboard software and mapped the drive manually. The performance numbers are quite good and the drive is more than able enough to stream several 1080p streams of video at once! I'm not sure why the Seagate dashboard halves the read speed but it seems like a software issue. Not using it does not seem to limit functionality in any way. So my advice is to just not install the Seagate Bloatware.

Reviewed by Christo. Review Posted 30/04/2012
There is surprisingly little solid information about this drive on the net, mostly people complaining about issues that are most probably network related instead of actual drive issues, and complaining about slow speed over Wifi (IT's WIFI for goodness sake! it's slow!) I just got the drive(3TB GoFlex Home Network Storage System) a few minutes ago and did the standard install from the CD and mapped it to a drive letter. I run a BT home hub 3 router, connected to a cheap 5 port gigabit switch via the gigabit port (very cheap of BT to just include one gigabit port on the home hub 3 router). My PC is connected to the cheap switch and the NAS is connected to the switch also. The initial speed tests without any tweaking is as follows using a 4 gigabyte file: - WRITE SPEED TO NAS average 34megabytes per second bursting to 40 megabytes per second ( +/- 360mbps). -READ SPEED FROM NAS was lower which is odd 28 megabytes per second (+/- 260mbps) I'm sure the read speed can be improved. Hopefully this will help some people decide on which NAS to choose!

Marietta High's girls basketball team is looking for a bounce-back win when it faces Wheeling Park (4-2) in the opening game of the fifth annual Jack Stephens Memorial Holiday Tournament at Memorial Fieldhouse at 5:30 p.m. today.
The Scott Cozzens-coached Lady Tiger cagers suffered their first loss of the campaign when they dropped a 50-40 decision to Rosecrans at Rogge Gymnasium last Saturday night.
Erica Dawson, who is Xavier University-bound after she graduates in the spring of 2013, scored 36 of her team's 40 points against the Lady Bishops. The Lady Tiger standout is the reigning Ohio Division II Player of the Year.

Marietta High's Erica Dawson (23) scored 36 of her team's 40 points in a 50-40 setback to host Rosecrans in an East Central Ohio League girls' basketball game last Saturday night.
"Wheeling Park is really, really good," said Parkersburg girls' boss Kenny DeMoss. "Two great guards and their only losses are to University and Morgantown and they are two very good teams.
"That should be a really good matchup with them and Marietta. The (Erica) Dawson girl is one of the best players we have faced since I've been here."
MHS (5-1), the defending tournament champion, is also expected to start Lusia Barton, Taylor Smith, Kaitlyn Cozzens, and Allie Moore.

Holiday Tournament
at Memorial Fieldhouse
5:30 p.m.: Marietta (5-1) vs. Wheeling Park (4-2)
7:15 p.m.: Parkersburg (4-3) vs. Winfield (3-2)
5:30 p.m.: Third place game
7:15 p.m.: Championship game
In the tourney opener at approximately 7:15 p.m., host PHS (4-3) is slated to play Winfield (4-2).
Parkersburg High is all about tradition and one of its many traditions is to recognize those who have played a major role in Big Reds athletics.
That's why Parkersburg's basketball tournaments are named the Jack Stephens Memorial Holiday Tournament, in honor of a man who made so many contributions to PHS sports, including the overseeing of the renovation of Stadium Field.
DeMoss wants to make sure besides the basketball games, it also is a tribute to the late Jack Stephens
"The best thing about this tournament is that we get a chance to celebrate Jack's life," said DeMoss. "He has done so much for us and this is just one way that we can remember him."
Parkersburg is coming off of an impressive win over St. Albans. The Big Reds last captured the Stephens title two years agio, beating Winfield in the title game two years ago.
DeMoss described the field as "four very good teams. Really, anyone of them could win this thing. The key for us is to be healthy. We haven't been healthy for a while now. If we can be at full health and we take care of the basketball, then we can play with these teams."
Seniors' Imani Ward, Kennedy Walker and Megan Morrison provide the bulk of the offense for the red and white, but DeMoss isn't afraid to go to his bench, playing as many as 12 different players in the game. Fans should look for Kaily Cox and Nicole Dent to join the trio in Parkersburg's probable starting lineup.
Look for Hannah Hill, Haley Ackerman, Rachel Slone, Airika Gainer, Joanna Bever, Jaylynn Millwood, Kameron Snyder and Brooke Kurucz to see plenty of action as well.
"If we aren't back to full strength, then it will be very important for our bench to come in and give us some quality minutes," said DeMoss.
Thursday's action will follow the same schedule with consolation action in the junior varsity bracket opening play at 2 p.m. followed by the championship game at 3:45.
Wednesday's two losing varsity teams will take to the court at 5:30 p.m. with the championship game slated to begin at 7:15.
The boys' side of the four-day holiday tournament has been canceled because a replacement for Brooke High School could not be found.
That doesn't mean, however, that the Big Red boys won't see action.
Unbeaten Magnolia will take on Dayton Chaminade at 7:15 p.m. on Friday with Parkersburg (1-4) facing Dayton Chaminade at the same time on Saturday.

Relax on the coach as we cruise past thick, tropical rainforests into Tully, home to some of Australia's best whitewater rafting. Slowly leaving the tropics behind us, we hit Townsville for some free time. Check out the colonial buildings and get a feel for its maritime past as we drive along the esplanade and into town where you can grab some lunch.
See vistas over Magnetic Island, a National Park and bird sanctuary, before we continue our travels south to Airlie Beach, gateway to the Whitsundays Islands and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park to board our sailing yacht.
Enjoy two days and nights sailing the stunning Whitsunday islands with your friends. Swim, snorkel, or laze your way around the 74 islands of this tropical paradise, where you will pass lush tropical islands, laze on the world's best beaches and personally meet an extravagant array of sea life. You can help the crew & learn how to grind the winches & hoist the sails, or just relax and top up your tan in the sun.
Please note: Accommodation on board the yacht is multishare only.
