Australia has one as well.

So we cannot just scoff at America being a land of stupid, naive drongos.

As we have John Mackay taking over from Ken Ham on our territory and he pretends to know about fossils.

Like all Creationists, he pretends that there are no intermediate fossils, completely ignoring the fact that we have more than enough intermediate fossils to link birds to dinosaurs and mammals to fish and humans to fish.

In the last 50 years there has been an exponential growth in intermediate fossils found.

All of which John Mackay and Ken Ham deny, arrogantly.

It is so obvious that both Ken Ham and John Mackay are blatant liars.

Because publishing lies and selling nonsense to suckers is big business, even in the Bible belt of Queensland, Australia.

Though his Jurassic Ark, will never reach the scale of the "Creation Museum".

But, the sad thing is: They have schools visiting their nonsense crusades.

The Queensland government is too stupid to ban schools from using the Jurassic Ark as an educational source.

So it appears that we also have Theistic Loons infiltrating our state governments, but, our Prime Minister (Tony Abbot) is also a religious bigot, such as his dislike of same sex marriage, which is faith based, not knowledge based. Yet his own sister is openly gay.

So America, you are not alone at being a stupidly naive religious nation.

Australia is not that far behind.

We have our own ridiculous GOP like bigoted conservative politicians in the Liberal Party.

Though the Jurassic Ark, is a festering boil on the intellect of Queensland.

If the Queensland government had any rational sense, it would lance that boil.

John Mackay's video is full of idiotic fallacies.

Mackay is obvious a blatant liar, making money from such lies.

Creation Research is obviously the world's most Insanely Stupid Research Organization. They really don't do any genuine scientific research.

This is a cool story. For some reason, it's making the rounds again, but was previously published 4 years ago.

Cuneiform (Sumeran) tablet was found giving instructions for how to build an arc for impending flood. The story of the tablet is interesting. Apparently, it was picked up by a soldier, or bought in a market, and languished for decades. Eventually the soldier's son was able to get it to someone who know what to do with it, Irving Finkel.

"In Mr Finkel's translation, the god speaks to Atram-Hasis, a Sumerian king who is the Noah figure in early versions of the ark story.The tablet's translation says:

"Wall, wall!

Reed wall, reed wall

Atram-Hasis, pay heed to my advice, that you may live forever!

Destroy your house, build a boat; despise possessions

And save life!

Draw out the boat that you will built with a circular design;

Let its length and breadth be the same."

The tablet is dated to about 1,700 BCE.

Check this link for appearance of the tablet. The Guardian. "The tablet gives a version of the ark story far older than the biblical accounts, and Finkel believes the explanation of how "holy writ appears on this piece of Weetabix", is that the writers of the Bible drew on ancient accounts encountered by Hebrew scholars during the Babylonian exile."

This story is so universal. If we could forget about willfully ignorant christian reactionaries ("see, the universal stories show there WAS a great flood!) and ponder the story, maybe we could gain insights into the human condition.

Is it just a about a flood? Probably. That is the most straightforward translation. And floods are truly universal. They occur almost everywhere, throughout human history, and into the current time.

The flood stories also play into submission to virtue, or to gods, and attachment to a physical, transient world, to grief, fear of death, and hope for renewal. There is reward of the good and faithful, by saving them and them only. There is punishment of the unfaithful and unbelieving. Even in my workplace, and past workplaces, managers often express that there is impending disaster unless we act now by working harder and sacrificing more. Not warning a flood, but warning for other tales of corporate doom. I have not read much Carl Jung or Joseph Campbell. I imagine they had something to say about these themes.

The theme of impending disaster, wanting to save loved ones, belongings, and way of life, is universal. Not only is there the Noah tale, and Gilgamesh (2,000 BC? I don't know the relation of that ballad to this tablet. They may be interwoven, or may be unrelated; some speculate the Gilgamesh story inspired the Noah story).

There is also a great flood of Chinese mythology, dating to 2,000 BC? ...

Like endless boiling water, the flood is pouring forth destruction.

Boundless and overwhelming, it overtops hills and mountains.

Rising and ever rising, it threatens the very heavens. How the people must be groaning and suffering!
 	 "

—Emperor Yao, as quoted in the Book of History, describing the flood

I won't copy the list, but there are great flood myths from many ancient cultures. Many of which could not have any connection to the others.

 The modern equivalents to the flood story, can be found in christian woe-saying - and schadenfreude - about god about to bring destruction and doom to the world for sinfulness, and among the secular, climate change fears. I'm not denying that last - it's impossible to escape that climate change may finally be a disaster of biblical proportions. But the desire to preserve our way of life for future generations, harkens to the floods stories of the ancients. We all share a strongly human fear of the unknown, attachment to the known, and desire to preserve the known for the benefit of ourselves, our families, and future generations.

For a humanist, these stories describe the universality of human experience.

"Any chance?" Sure. If you can figure out the plug-in interface used
in pppd, and you have a library or other suitable interface that will
perform the smart card validation function, you can write a module
that will connect these two together. Look at "passprompt" as an
example of a really trivial plug-in.
CHAP is likely not possible. CHAP works by sending a random challenge
to the peer, which must compute a hash using that challenge and the
shared secret. In the case of a smart card, there's usually no way to
get at the shared secret, and thus no way to validate that the peer's
response is correct.

Finding some common ground on trash
Colene Vogel
Technical Services Program Manager
American Public Works Association
Kansas City, Missouri
Some cities have their own crews picking up trash, recyclables and organics. Some have contracts for collection. Some allow their residents to choose any hauler with a license. And, some rural communities have nothing but open burning and self-hauling.
Some cities own landfills. Some have incinerators. Some rely on a county or district disposal facility. Some have transfer stations. A few have their own MRFs (materials recovery facilities) and composting facilities. Some have drop-off recycling centers. Some have special collection days for everything from Christmas trees to electronics. Some have citywide cleanups collecting everything including the kitchen sink. Some have household hazardous waste collection centers. And, some communities provide extensive public education programs on waste reduction and recycling.
Of course, all of these solid waste activities may or may not be carried out by the public works department. So, how does an association full of public works professionals address a topic that may or may not be handled, partially or in full, by some but certainly not all members? They appoint a committee, of course!
The Solid Waste Management Committee is challenged with pulling together information and resources on a topic so diverse that few members even address every part of it. How do they do it? They start with the issues that are most common. Issues such as illegal dumping and contracting for services are usually of interest to the greatest number of members. But, it seems like new recycling programs spring up daily since "going green" became trendy again. So, more and more members are interested in recycling collection methods, not to mention waste reduction initiatives. That's why this year's Congress will include sessions on rural issues in solid waste, illegal dumping, and green procurement.
Besides the usual work of preparing articles for this issue of the Reporter, putting together Congress sessions, reviewing position statements and commenting on legislation, the Solid Waste Management Committee has been working on a couple of new projects this year. There is a Click, Listen & Learn on solid waste set for July and there will be another new book come August. The Click, Listen & Learn is scheduled for July 17. It will discuss single stream versus dual stream collection systems. The book will cover basic estimates in solid waste management and should make its debut at Congress.
The hard-working members of the Solid Waste Management Committee are: Marc Rogoff, Chair, FL; Keith Howard, FL; Charlie Jones, PA; Ziad Mazboudi, CA; Cynthia Mitchell, MO; and Rick Person, MN. At-Large Director George Crombie serves as Board Liaison to the committee and Colene Vogel is Staff Liaison. More information on the committee can be found on APWA's website by clicking on "Technical Committees" and choosing "Solid Waste Management." You can find meeting summaries, position papers and contact information.
Colene Vogel can be reached at (816) 595-5221 or email@example.com.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – A father who challenged state high school rules to allow his 19-year-old son with Down syndrome play football will speak Saturday, May 4, at a fundraiser for the Down Syndrome Association of West Michigan.
Dean Dompierre will speak at the association's 2013 Winner's Cup Benefit, which includes the viewing of the Kentucky Derby.
Eric Dompierre, who has Down syndrome, was barred from playing football his senior year at Ishpeming High School by Michigan High School Athletic Association rules. At 19, he exceeded the age limit.
His father, Dean Dompierre, overcame his fear of public speaking as he worked to change the rule, speaking on national television and the floor of the state Legislature. In August, before the fall 2012 season, MHSAA granted a waiver so Eric could play football.
The story was named the 2012 Sports Illustrated Underdog series winner, and a $25,000 grant was awarded to Ishpeming.
Here are details about Saturday's event:
When: 4:30-11:30 p.m.
Where: Kent Country Club
Tickets: $125

Some say if the economy doesn't turn around, the big government cry of socialism against President Obama could get even louder.
Republican Sen.-elect Scott Brown of Massachusetts says he opposes federal funding for abortions, but thinks women should have the right to choose whether to have one.
Now that the Obama administration is considering moving the Sept. 11 trial away from a courthouse in Manhattan, the question is: Where to?
President Obama met with some of his biggest critics, Friday, taking questions on the budget, health care and taxes.

New York, NY -- The first-ever Bowhunter Cup, an international 'friendly' between Team USA and the Iroquois Nationals, will take place at the War Memorial at Oncenter in Syracuse, NY, on September 25, 2010.
Iroquois Nationals to take on Team USA in Syracuse
The game is a warm-up for the 2011 World Indoor Lacrosse Championship, which will be held at Telsa Arena in Prague, Czech Republic on May 21-28, 2011. Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, England, Finland and Ireland will join the United States and Iroquois Nationals in the one-week tournament.
Team USA recently finished first at the World Field Lacrosse Championship, defeating Canada, 12-10, in the gold medal game. The Iroquois Nationals were unable to participate, as the British government refused to recognize the teams' Haudenosaunee passports or provide them with visas to travel to England.
The Iroquois Nationals are 2-0 all-time against the Americans in indoor competition, winning in pool play in 2003 and in the semifinals in 2007.
Faceoff is scheduled for 8:00 PM. The game will be streamed live on the NLL Network.

The Wyoming City Council on Monday approved a 12-year Industrial Facilities Exemption Certificate for Undercar Products Group Inc. that will add 158 new jobs and retain 358 jobs in the city of Wyoming.
The tax abatement, which has an estimated first-year tax savings of $475,036.43 for Undercar Products Group, will aid them in an 80,000-square-foot building expansion project and the purchase of additional equipment to support $50 million in new business recently acquired by the automotive part manufacturer.
"We've been fortunate enough to win about $50 million worth of new business from both GM and Ford," said Dan Steffler, a controller with Undercar Products Group. "With the new $50 million worth of business we're getting in 2015, it requires about $29 million worth of investment both in the facility and machine installs."
City Council members also set a public hearing for May 20 to consider the approval of another Industrial Facilities Exemption Certificate for Middleton Printing, Inc., which has been operating in Wyoming for 53 years. The seven-year IFT abatement would aid Middleton Printing in expanding its facilities and capacity of their operation through purchase of additional equipment, and allow for the hiring of five additional employees if the application is approved.

Pair Writing Teams
Considerable success can be achieved in collaboration. Approaches such as
has shown that two resources concentrated on one effort can produce efficiencies and time saving. This approach could be applied to larger efforts. Teams could be formed with the focus of concentrating on the accomplishment of a singular goal.
It is noted that the deletion of a page requires a seconding. It seems unlikely however that the initial creation of a page, or that the refactoring of a page, could be accomplished by
. The fact is that the team interaction that takes place on all
s is one of collaborative effort exercised in the
Paired collaboration is not the same as serial collaboration. If it is supposed to work for code, why can't it work for text?
Do you have two chairs at your computer and will the collaborator agree with you to spend time at that computer to do this "pair collaboration", or would you do it by email, ftp, p2p, and when finished post it to the wiki? Perhaps you can enlighten us on how you would accomplish this for wiki posts.
How to approach pair writing depends very much on chemistry. With the last fellow I paired with, we found that it worked best to start in serial. One of use would write a first draft, then the other would mark it up, then the author would incorporate the edits (or not). Finally, we would sit together, sharing the keyboard, while we hashed out issues and edits. A wiki might have worked for the initial rounds, but MS Word has a reasonably good annotation facility, which Wiki lacks, even with "last version" compare. --

The show - described on Shearer's website as "a one-hour satirical sandbox" -- has been available in New Orleans only via WWNO's digital channel and online at www.harryshearer.com.
Shearer is a part-time New Orleans resident who is a star voice performer on Fox's "The Simpsons," founding member of the heavy metal band Spinal Tap, and tireless blogger on The Huffington Post.
"We are delighted to bring 'Le Show' to New Orleans," said Paul Maassen, WWNO general manager, in a news release. "Harry Shearer and his wife, Judith Owen, have embraced New Orleans and New Orleans has adopted them. Harry records many programs in our studio, and much of the show's content is about New Orleans. Harry's comedy may be irreverent, but 'Le Show' is always thought-provoking, and we think many of our listeners will enjoy it -- from Lakeview to Bywater, Covington to Thibodeaux."

Who makes this Engine for MTD? Poulan or MTD Better?
I finally purchased my 1st snow blower. A Brandy new MTD 24 in, 179cc electric start 600 series snow blower @ the local PX for $ 600.00 and am I very impressed with it thus far !!
The first time I used it was to cut thru 3+ feet tall of 1 month old ice/snow for 80 feet to my front door..!!!
I am still in my warranty period and wondered who makes this engine?
It does not say..I would guess Briggs & Stratton as it does have any stickers.
I was also looking at today at a new 5 HP, 24 in 179cc Poulan, pull start only and thought it was heavier duty looking than my MTD Yardman but soon wondered if it was just different is all? The reliability of parts might be the same, better or less. While the MTD looks " less rugged " in the control parts it's elegant simplicity looked to be easier to work on then the multi-part, springs and bolts and bracketed Poulan machine which was $100 more than my MTD model with no electric start.
Most important is down the line when the warranty is over and maintenance issues crop up. The Poulan has the Techumsea engine plainly stated and better wheels and a grease fitting on the snow blade shaft, but I can tap and install one of those or take apart the shaft for lubing when winter is over... What does everyone think?
Is the Poulan a better machine than the YardMan for reliability and maintenance ? This is my first snowblower.. Thanks for input.
Here is a pic of my first use - pretty impressive when you think I can walk over my front lawn without even sinking down and I am 220 lbs.

Re: Who makes this Engine for MTD? Poulan or MTD Better?
Tecumseh is out of business.
On a different forum, a poster had bought a new Troy/Bilt or MTD (same company now) and it had a Chinese engine. IF it was a BRIGGS, I'm sure it would be plainly labeled as such. That's now a selling point!
EDIT I went back to that "other forum".
His unit had a 179CC "MTD" engine and it had a made in China sticker.

Re: Who makes this Engine for MTD? Poulan or MTD Better?
Thanks for the web jump. I was having the same issue <?> as I had the choke all the way up *Clockwise* thinking it was all the way open and when I closed it it would want to spudder and die... In effect they have it backwards according to the web site you included... *I did not need much choke to begin with and I had thought I was running wide open with the choke on full rich all this time when it was just the opposite!! LOL!!!
Thanks again!!
PS. the engine is made in China ...

Re: Who makes this Engine for MTD? Poulan or MTD Better?
I called MTD and the engine indeed is made for them in China...
Called a Small engine repair place and they said no problems so far with the MTD engine made in China and they are starting to see Tecumseh parts disappear and harder to get in the future with the company going away.
Funny thing on this engine is it has 2 drains or 2 place to add oil?
One is with dipstick on top, and on the side of the engine where the pull start is there is a little yellow screw in cap marked " OIL ".... ???

Dr. Frölich does not wish to respond.
To the Editor:
We read with interest the report of Frolich and colleagues (1) of opioid toxicity in a patient with a 3-day-old transdermal fentanyl patch in situ, undergoing surgery under lumbar epidural anesthesia and IV propofol. The opioid toxicity was related temporally to the use of a body-warming blanket to correct intraoperative hypothermia. In our study of the perioperative pharmacokinetics of transdermal fentanyl, we found that two elderly patients experienced marked respiratory depression that persisted after fentanyl patch removal. In one of these patients, plasma fentanyl concentrations were high (2.22 ng · mL−1), and in the other, plasma concentrations were low (0.645 ng · mL−1), but the patient had required relatively large amounts of morphine via a patient-controlled analgesia device (2). Neither of these patients was being rewarmed, but reported our concerns that transdermal absorption was variable in the perioperative period, owing to variations in cutaneous blood flow related to alterations in cardiac output, circulating volume, and temperature. Shoemaker and colleagues demonstrated that the local application of heat augmented the transdermal absorption of fentanyl in volunteers, resulting in significantly higher maximal plasma concentrations (3), which supports the mechanism for toxicity proposed by Frolich et al. (1). Together, these data support our conclusions that transdermal fentanyl patches are unsuitable for postoperative pain management, and that the possibility of variability in absorption should be considered in those with a transdermal fentanyl patch already in place. Furthermore, the unpredictable effects of sustained transdermal fentanyl absorption from the subcutaneous depot in surgical patients under conditions of changing cutaneous blood flow mean that toxicity may continue to occur despite removal of the patch. These may be particularly important in the elderly or those receiving concomitant opioids, respiratory depressant, or vasoactive drugs.

I work from a home office, so I find it easy to follow the 'take your camera everywhere you go' rule as I never go anywhere. Not unless it's by ritual or planned.
Which leaves me with a problem. All my plans have seized up. I look at the wonderful work here and I'm getting stuck and jealous. I can't afford to go abroad. I've done all the museums. I don't go clubbing or bar hopping, I'm too old.
What's next? I wondered if anyone was willing to share their plans for 2012 perhaps give my inspiration a kick up the bum?

HUNTSVILLE, AL -- It's not unusual to find engineers spending all night working to get a project out by deadline for a government contract.
At AEgis Technologies, a trio spent all of last weekend working at the office to get a project finished. For humanitarian reasons. And, for free.
Last Friday, the satellite imaging company DigitalGlobe asked AEgis, of Huntsville, to create a 3D database of Haiti and Scott Allman and two other members of his geospatial programs team got right to work.
"Within two hours of the call, Digital's satellite was over Haiti," said Allman, the geospatial programs director for AEgis. "Two hours later, the information was downloaded here."
Then, the three created a 3D database of images of Haiti - before and after last week's earthquake.
"We went back six months to get old imagery of Haiti and compare it to the new images," Allman said.
Allman said with process imagery they were able to take elevation and other pertinent data to create the 3D view of Port-au-Prince, the epicenter of the earthquake. The information would reveal where streets and access ways were before they were buried by rubble from fallen buildings.
"We were able to get places of interest, such as the (presidential) palace, and rendered it out to see all sides of the buildings," he said. "We were able to see how much the destruction had changed the area."
Since satellite photos provide basically, a view from above, AEgis' 3D imaging yields views from ground level and various angles - quickly.
"It's Google Earth on steroids," Allman said. "What used to take weeks, takes a matter of hours with this."
Aegis provides modeling and simulation development, engineering analysis, hardware design and nanotechnology manufacturing for municipal, government, commercial and military applications. Using the technology for this purpose excites Allman.
"When we can use technology for something peaceful," he said. "It's huge."
The company is taking the information and providing it to the various aid agencies on the ground in Haiti, again, at no charge, for their rescue/reconstruction efforts.
"We have it available for the Red Cross, the UN, UNICEF," Allman said. "As well as the DoD (Department of Defense) and private agencies, such as Samaritan's Purse."
DigitalGlobe provides commercial, high-resolution, world imagery products and services and AEgis had worked with the company on other projects, including the Beijing Olympics and, more recently, next month's Winter Games in Vancouver.
In fact, Allman's team was in the midst of putting the final touches on the Vancouver project when they got the call from DigitalGlobe.
"We were doing the Vancouver work and went right into this," he said.
The team worked overnight Friday and stayed at the company's office in Cummings Research Park through the weekend. As for putting in those extra hours and the company providing the work pro bono, Allman wouldn't have it any other way.
"It's the right thing to do."

In the Sullivan house in West Seneca and there's usually a collection of running shoes by the back door that rivals the selection at Fleet Feet.
Three pairs belong to the sisters who made their mark running for West Seneca West, and two others belong to the parents, who met as runners for rival West Seneca East.
And one belongs to the youngest member of this running-crazed family, Kalen Sullivan, who has filled some pretty big shoes.
The middle distance standout ran the season's fastest time in Western New York in the 800 meters Saturday with a 1:55.41 at the Middletown Invitational.
Sullivan got a sense of competition shortly after learning how to tie his shoes. He thrived trying to keep pace with sisters Kaley, Emma and Hillary. Their mother Tammy was a hurdler and father John a distance runner. When his time finally came, Kalen ran with it.
He holds seven school records, three set indoors and four outdoors. He's won seven Section VI championships in the two seasons. In the last two years, he hasn't lost an ECIC dual meet race in the 800, 1,600 or 3,200. One of his most memorable races was his eighth-place finish in the 800 in the state Federation meet last spring.
"We just love track and field and watching track meets," said Sullivan. "My mom still runs four-five miles, dad runs every day. Even though they're not competing at a high intensity, we all just love to run."
Sullivan had a short-lived soccer career, playing as a freshman. A sister's boyfriend convinced him he needed to follow in his family's footsteps, so he agreed to giving running a try.
He remembers joining the West program and looking up to the team's milers, Brendon Greg and Anthony George. He often asked them about their training and how to stay focused.
Fast forward and the senior has signed a national letter of intent with Iona College. He also considered UB and Columbia, but felt Iona was the best fit. Iona wants to jump-start its middle distance program and plans on building around Sullivan. The honor roll student with a 94.8 average plans to study biochemistry.
He's come full circle as he's now the runner fielding questions from the underclassmen. "They ask me how do I have that much energy left. It took me four years to get here, it takes time," he said.
And a good pair of running shoes.
Team chatter
Throwing sensation Devon Patterson of Williamsville South is coming off an indoor season in which he earned All-America honors with a sixth-place finish in the shot put at the New Balance Indoor Nationals at The Armory. He's the Section VI record holder indoors in the shot. This outdoor season his goal is to impress on the state and national levels.
Andy Smigiera of West Seneca East leads Western New York in the 100 (10.87) and the 200 meters (22.32), both school records. He was named MVP of the Dunkirk Invitational for the second year in a row.
Last fall, Smigiera quarterbacked the Trojans' football team to a 9-1 record. He's signed with I-AA Robert Morris University for football, but may run track. He's always considered himself a football player who runs track, but track has its own appeal.
"My football friends I've pretty much known all my life. In track you meet a ton of new kids every year, and I like to pass along information I've learned to help them get better," said Smigiera.
Starpoint is so talented coach Brian Lasher is calling his team, "one of the best in our history." Senior A.J. Joslin is undefeated in the 800, and broke his own school record in the event at the Starpoint Team Challenge with a 1:56.30. He nudged out Clarence senior Ben Reinhardt by a tenth of a second for the victory in what might have been the race of the day. Joslin is a long strider who gobbles up a lot of ground at 6-foot-4. His college plans include Virginia Tech, where he will try to make the track team as a walk-on.
Spartans senior Adam Yacos leads Western New York public school athletes in the 400 (50.52). Football all-star Evan Majewski is a top sprinter. The Starpoint 4x800 relay is ranked No. 1 in Western New York. Senior Tom Moran went to states last year in the pole vault. Matt Prohaska has a 9:49 in the 3,200 on his resume after the Hilton Showdown.
Clarence junior Teddy Okon broke the school record in the high jump at 6-6 at Starpoint, and also does the long and triple jumps. Junior Dan Huben ran a 10:34 in the 3,200 to break the meet record as part of the two-man relay at Starpoint. Senior Sam Bunk is the top thrower. The Red Devils bring a 4-0 record today into their meet against Jamestown.
Jamestown junior hurdler Mitchell Moore broke two meet records at the recent Olean Invite. He's run the 110 hurdles in 15.3 and the 400 hurdles in 54.8. He's been voted MVP of the Olean and Falconer invites.
Junior TJ Hornberger of Lake Shore cut loose at the Hilton Showdown, running a 9:12.70 in the 3,200. Hornberger shines in the big meets. Last fall he broke the Section VI record at Elma Meadows during the cross country state meet. At last year's outdoor states, he was third in the Division I 3,200 in 9:24.70 and ran his person record (PR) in the 1,600 at 4:19.61.
Cheektowaga has gone from the team everyone knew they could run their JV against, to a team that is one dual meet away from winning back-to-back ECIC III titles. Coach Rich Bridenbaker said he inherited a team six seasons ago that had about 12 athletes. A win today over Amherst will give the Warriors a 5-0 record and the title outright. "We've become a team that everyone wants a shot at, which is pretty nice," said Bridenbaker, whose staff includes Ken McCracken, Matt Swetland and George Lombardo.
Cheektowaga won Saturday's Little Four meet. Tim Whelan is a hard worker who runs the cycle every meet: 4x800, 1,600, 800 and 3,200. "It's not like he has one good event. He runs four solid races," said Bridenbaker. Dave Kerling (pole vault) and James Hanners (shot put) recently broke school records. Kenny Dillenburg keeps busy with the 100, 200, high jump and 4x100.
Olean senior John Tanus, the cross country standout, broke school records at Falconer in the 1,600 (4:30.18) and 3,200 (9:47.44). Two other Southern Tier middle distance runners to watch are Corey Wefing of Maple Grove and Zachery Jackson of Randolph.
East Aurora's Sean Phillips looks to qualify for states in the 3,200 and get the 4x800 there as well. Senior Brendan Keany and Phillips are the returning members of the 4x800 relay that broke a 30-year-old school record at states by running a 7:53.37.
East Aurora senior Gene Baritot is four seconds shy of qualifying for the state meet in the steeplechase for the second year in a row. Last year he placed fifth. His ultimate goal is to break the school record of 9:38.99 held since 2003 by Dan Fields.
West Seneca West got a sneak peak at this year's state site when it traveled to Middletown on Saturday for the Middletown Invitational. The five-year-old, multi-million dollar facility is located in Section IX, about an hour outside of New York City. Plenty of other schools had the same idea as the event drew 40 boys and 40 girls teams.
The track features a 10-lane straightaway, practically unheard of for high school facilities, two pole vault pits, four jumping pits, four throwing circles and a turf infield. A huge Jumbotron scoreboard lets fans follow the action.
"It's not your typical track when you have long straightaways and short turns," said Indians middle distance coach Pete Szymanski. "The turns are a little longer and straightaways are a little shorter. A lot of colleges are like that. So that's going to be interesting. The 200 kids will love that because they can make a move right off the bat."
Cleveland Hill senior Brandon Wesley has been able to overcome injuries the last two seasons to break the school record in the 800 in 1:58.2. The previous record went back to 1966. Junior Jared Watkins, third team all-state defensive back in football, is among the Western New York leaders in the triple and long jumps.
Amherst senior Adam Murphy holds the school record in the 1,600 (4:25.77) and has a season-best 4:30.1. Senior sprinter Lamont Smith has a 22.4 in the 200, which is tied for the school record.
Alden's best in the throws, Jason Bunk, has a Division I future waiting as he's ticketed to play football at UB in the fall. The Bulldogs have a tough middle distance runner in Sean Turner, who recently committed to Medaille College for cross country. Junior Phil Zobrest, who ran the 400 the last two years, bulked up in the offseason and is now one of the area's leading throwers.
The top boy in the Buffalo Public School's Scalp and Blade is Seamus Degan of City Honors, who looks to makes states after qualifying for the state cross country meet. The Centaurs and Hutch-Tech won their first six dual meets.
Randolph is 8-0 in dual meets. Junior Zachary Jackson holds the school record in the 1,600 (4:31.20) and taking aim at the 800 mark. Chris Doubek has vaulted a personal record 13-6.
Southwestern's Jordan Powers is one of the section's top 400-meter hurdlers (58.4) and ranks at the top of the junior class.
Orchard Park junior Dawson Hillis leads Section VI in the discus at 165-0 and his 51-6 in the shot is ranked among the top 10. Senior Jake Eneix went to the indoor states in the 1,000 and intersectional relay. This season he's training for the steeplechase and checks in with one of the area's fastest times in 10:01.1.
Sweet Home has an abundance of talent, leading off with its 4x100 of Tyvon Rivers, Derell Hennings, Damon Luton and Jeff Hart, which qualified for states by running a 43.04 at the Panther Relays. Hart is ranked second in Western New York in the 100 and 200. Rivers leads WNY in the 400 hurdles and does the triple jump. Twin pole vaulters, Josh and Justin Willson, both have cleared 11-6.
Lockport has a 4x100 that has won its share of races. Multi-sport athlete Alex Reid excels in the 100, 200 and triple.
Lawrence Williams of St. Joe's ran under 50 seconds in the 400 at Starpoint. The Marauders' 4x100 trails only Sweet Home for fastest time in Western New York. The Monsignor Martin Association championships are Wednesday.
Sherman, Clymer and Panama have merged and are competing in CCAA I, and will stay in Division II for state competition.
Note: Next week, Scholastic Spotlight shines on girls track and field.

Posted on 02/29/2012 10:21:16 PM PST by JustAmy
God Bless you for Posting that Beautiful Poem, Dear Geologist.
(((((A Wonderful Friday to you)))))
(((((Many Hugs and Loving Prayers)))))
My Back is Hurting Today, so I can Only Imagine how yours has Felt. :(
(((((May your Surgery Bring Complete Relief from All Pain, Sweet FRiend)))))
(((((A Beautiful Friday to you)))))
Thought you'd like that.
Oh my, the realization of watching that hibiscus open and close. Life does go so fast, we need to take the time to smell the flowers. We sometimes say "Tomorrow, we'll do that" and then tomorrow may not come. We all know that now by the experience you and your friends went through. I know its hard for you, yorkie. It was hard for all of us but the situation was unbearable for you. You have done very well and I know the Lord watches over you, yorkie.
Hope you're doing better daily. I still am praying for you every day of my life, friend.
This is soooo precious! I love it.
I wonder so much about what happened to Billie. She just disappeared and thats just not normal without telling some of us something. I sure hope nothing happened to her. Her husband may not have known how to get in touch with Amy's Place. There could be a possibility he may not be around either. The not knowing gives me goose bumps sometimes.
I'll try to get back later. I must lie down for a little while.
That is so cute, Kitty. She even has a hood for windy conditions. Thank you.
Have a delightful Red Friday.
Good afternoon, LTOS. Thank you for showing us the royalty supporting our troops. :)
Wishing you a Fantastic Friday.
** Grin **
StLouie says she has read his email but has not responded. I sent her email but have hear nothing.
I know that Amy's Place takes a lot of time but it would be wonderful if she would just come and say hello to everyone.
I need to leave also ... going to PO, bank, Jim's and Office Depot.
I wish gas prices would go down.
I sure liked this poem, geologist. Think I'll make a copy of that. Thank you!
Sooooo cute, Kitty! Thanks you.
Sweet! :)
What a cutie, JC!! Super find!
Thanks, yorkie, as was your baby in white...so beautiful!
Your #436 and #437 posts really touched my heart.
Thank You.
I Love your Sweet Post #467! It's Precious. (((((Thank you for the Blessing)))))
Dear Amy, Thank you for your #461.
(((((Sweet Dreams, and God Bless)))))
I diligently try and give what flowers I can . . . literally and otherwise . . .
to the living.
Life is short . . . and we are too soon old and too late smart . . .
But we CAN Love every day . . . while we have today.
Amy, I assume you got the poetry.
To be honest, I wasnt happy to be making another trip to the store. For the previous 4 weeks, my wife and I had been trying to get a refund for a bad refrigerator. As I spoke with the manageragainit seemed that we were heading down another dead-end road. As we talked, I wondered if we would ever get our money back, but I tried to be gracious.
At one point the manager said, By now, customers are usually yelling at me, but youve been so patient. Then he said, Lets try something else. He asked me some questions and punched some numbers into a cash register. After a short delayand some stories about irate customersthe machine spit out a receipt showing a refund! Our appliance nightmare was over. Thanks for being so good to work with, he said as we parted ways.
While I think being nice when I didnt feel nice helped in this process, getting refunds is not why we should show kindness to others. The real reason is that as Christians we are to reflect the light of Jesus (Eph. 5:8) on everyonewhether its an irate neighbor, a bumbling waiter, or a department store manager. Our speech and behavior are to be a positive witness (Eph. 4:29-32; Col. 4:6). Are you facing a conflict? Let Jesus light shine through.
Read: Ephesians 5:1-10
Sorry to be absent so much but like jaycee I am still battling health issues. Seems no sooner I get one half way fixed another pops up, or their dratted diets conflicting for cholesterol and low sodium screw up my Hypothyroid.
Hope it goes well with you jaycee. I get my MRI's on Thursday, then back to the neurosurgeon on the 26th. He is going from the T's down thru the Lumbar's.
Like you the pain is so bad the lore tabs do NOT work, neither did PT, which made it worse, nor the nerve blocks which did the same. Had 4 of them only 1 of the cervical ones worked for 3 months. Only thing that does is a heating pad. BUT that ties you to home. So I buy those super size Hot Hands in the sporting depart of Walmart and stuff them in a well padded set of sewed together pot holders. They get up to 160 degrees so you have to pad them. The little ones do not get as hot, but do not last as long. You get 18 hrs of heat out of the big ones and 10 hrs out of the hand size ones. If they cool off to soon, just take them out and shake them in the air and they will reactivate. They are the only way I stay mobile.
This is an interactive view of your spine, just move your mouse over it and it will tell you what area of your body that nerve bundle controls.

Dr. O'Malley is very experienced, knowledgeable and professional. He has helped me significantly.
Asked my PCP for a new referral. Very unprofessional and was not pleased. Waited almost 2 hours before seeing doctor.
Wonderful caring man. Top notch surgeon and bedside manner. I've never met a more caring doctor.
I am a 43 year old male who was unfortunate to be diagnosed with colon cancer but fortunate to have the surgery done (transverse colostomy) and taken care by Dr. O Malley. He was a caring, efficient, gracious surgeon and has excellent bedside manners. I guess majority of the surgeons have those qualities but what puts him apart his sense of humor. He goes out of his way to take care of his patients (at least he did for me). Thank you Dr. OMalley.
Dr. O'Malley is an excellent board certified surgeon. My family has gone to him for years. The University of Missouri is a very good medical school. He also has great training from Emory Univ. & the Med. School of Virginia.
Dr. O'Malley takes alot of time with his patients... that seems to be the reason he is always late seeing patients. Also, he graduated from the University of Missouri in Columbia, MO., not Kansas City.
The staff is courteous and polite, very accommodating and flexible with scheduling. The office called me to schedule an appointment after my general doctor sent the referral. I would have procrastinated making a phone call to schedule an appointment. The physician is able to communicate well and clearly, and is thorough in overall explanation of care and welcomes questions. He's very patient, relaxed, spends quality time with patient to assess course of present and future care.

LONDON (AP) – Dimitar Berbatov scored on his 32nd birthday to help Fulham to a 3-1 victory over London rival West Ham in the English Premier League on Wednesday.
The Bulgaria striker set Fulham on its way with a 10th-minute opener from what appeared to be an offside position, only for Kevin Nolan to equalize in the 48th.
Hugo Rodallega restored the hosts' lead and an own goal by Joey O'Brien sealed only their second win of 2013, lifting the team above West Ham back into mid-table.
West Ham, which is seven points clear of the relegation zone in 13th, is winless in four league matches and six games in all competitions stretching back to Jan. 1.

Eventually, if you get interested enough in information security or start hosting services on your network, you are going to wonder what a DMZ is and why you should or should not have one. DMZ is an acronym that stands for demilitarized zone, and in the 'real' world it is the location between two hostile entities such as North and South Korea. In the world of information security community, however, it's a separate, untrusted network where any machines serving public services (web, email, gaming, etc) should be placed. It's a buffer zone between a completely unsafe network (like the Internet) and a relatively trusted network (like your private LAN). The primary purpose for this separation is so that a compromise in your DMZ does not automatically result in a compromise of your private network as well.
Design Considerations
I'll be discussing two main ways to implement a DMZ. The first is using three NICs in a single firewall machine as follows:
- NIC1 for the WAN : Your gateway to the Internet; everything comes and goes through this NIC
- NIC2 for the LAN : Behind this NIC is where you have all your private assets, i.e. file servers, domain controllers, questionable media collections, etc.
- NIC3 for the DMZ : This is where you put any machine that you want to allow people on the Internet to connect to, i.e. web servers, ftp servers, mail servers, game servers, etc.
This is one method of creating a DMZ, but it is not the best way. This configuration allows the security of both your DMZ and your LAN to lie in one system. If your machine that has all three of those NICs in it is compromised, so is your DMZ and your private network as well. Basically, you are allowing the Internet to touch the very same machine that determines how secure your internal LAN is, and this is not ideal.
The better way to do this is with three completely separate networks and two firewalls – one on the border of your WAN (which handles your connection usually) – and one on the border of your internal LAN. This design makes it so that two separate devices must be compromised in order to get to your internal LAN, and as you will see later – it's no an easy thing to do.
We're going to proceed with the second and more secure configuration which is often referred to as a 'sandwich DMZ' due to the use of two firewalls (the servers in the DMZ are the meat). Let's say you have two firewall devices available to you – a broadband router such as a Linksys, and a Linux-based firewall like an Astaro or SmoothWall box. You start by placing your Linksys on your border (right behind your modem), and connecting the LAN side of that router to a hub or switch. To that hub or switch (your DMZ hub/switch) you connect your bastion hosts/public server(s). These machines run the services that you want people to be able to connect to from the Internet. This may be a web site, an FTP server, a mail server, or a multiplayer game box like WCIII or Counterstrike. You want this machine to be hardened as much as possible, meaning that it is completely patched, not running any unnecessary services, and is tightened down as much as possible in terms of configuration.
Now, to that same hub (the DMZ hub) you are going to attach another network cable that goes to the external interface of your internal firewall (your Linux firewall). It is important to note that you want your strongest firewall closest to your LAN; or, putting it another way, you want your least powerful firewall on your border. This may seem counterintuitive but it's usually best. Basically, you want the most powerful and most configurable firewall protecting your LAN – not your DMZ. Then connect another cable from the internal interface of your Linux box to another hub (your internal hub). All of your LAN machines will connect to that.
If that was confusing, think of it this way:
Internet -> Modem
Modem -> Router
Router -> DMZ Hub
DMZ Switch -> Web/Mail/FTP/Game Servers
DMZ Switch -> Linux Firewall External NIC
Linux Firewall Internal NIC -> LAN Hub
LAN Hub -> LAN Systems
Ok, so let's take a look at the added security that is offered by this setup. First off, at the border you have NAT translation that passes only the ports that you need to in order for people on the Internet to access the servers in your DMZ. Let's say, for example, that you're running a web server, an FTP server, and a game server for a game called Foo. On your border router/firewall you pass ports 80, 21, and 10050 (the Foo server port). All attempted connections to your external, WAN IP address that aren't on those ports drop dead at your router; only those three ports are allowed through because of NAT. The nature of NAT as implemented on most SOHO routers dictates that only two types of traffic can pass from the outside of the router to the inside: return traffic (traffic that's part of a connection that originated from the inside of the NAT device, and any incoming traffic to ports that are defined as 'passed' in your NAT configuration. All packets traversing the device are compared to a table inside the device that is similar to a firewall policy, and if a given packet doesn't fall into one of the two categories above, it gets put on the floor. This side effect of NAT, while not its original or main goal, is a fairly powerful security feature, and it makes up our first layer of defense on the border. Of course, if your device supports packet filtering of any sort in addition to NAT then you can further lockdown your perimeter by using that functionality as well.
This first border layer, while being good, is just one layer of the shielding offered by this configuration. The real beauty of this setup lies in what happens if someone is able to compromise a machine in your DMZ. Imagine that you have the setup I laid out above, but unbeknownst to you there is a major, undiscovered vulnerability in your Apache or IIS server. While you're out and about thinking all is well, someone launches the zero-day exploit at your box and takes it over. Now what?
Now nothing. Your second and more powerful firewall (the one that they are still outside of) – does not pass ANY traffic from the DMZ to the LAN. In fact, you should have your internal firewall configured in such a way that it won't even reply at all to any DMZ machines – no ICMP, no port scans, nothing. And now, rather than being able to bounce around on your juicy internal LAN like they planned, they are stuck in the middle of a completely untrusted, isolated network that doesn't have anything on it other than what you intended for public viewing anyway.
This is a DMZ.
Even if they did know the IP of the internal firewall, it wouldn't even consider passing connection attempts from the DMZ. This internal layer of protection is NAT'd just like your first layer, only there are no ports being passed inside like from the Internet to the DMZ. Due to the NAT table, and your lack of ports being passed, your second firewall actually has no idea what to do with packets that are designed to initiate new connections with it, so it just drops them. The only traffic that is going to make it through that firewall is traffic initiated from the inside, i.e. when you go to /., it will allow the web content to come back to you so you can view the page, but if someone tries to initiate a new connection to you, they get dropped. Both NAT and stateful packet inspection (an advanced firewall technology that's built into modern Linux firewalls) afford this protection to you – each in different ways.
Example Scenario
So, to sum it all up, imagine you have your network setup the way we have talked about above, and someone with a zero-day exploit is scanning around looking for web daemons to tear up and they find yours. So, they connect to it, check the version you are running to confirm that you're vulnerable, and then scurry to fire up their new exploit tool that someone else wrote. What they probably don't know is that they are actually connecting to a 'non-routable' IP in your DMZ. It has no 'real' IP address as far as the Internet is concerned, and if you hadn't passed that port on your router they wouldn't have seen anything at all with their scan.
But let's say they do see your web daemon because you are passing port 80 through to your web server, and it turns out it's vulnerable. They run their exploit and get complete control of your box. This, of course, causes them tremendous joy, and they hurry to tell all their buddies because they think they're starring in Hackers now. The thing is, they have little to celebrate. All they have is a barebones server with nothing of value on it – no vital info, no browsing history, no personal information, nothing.
In fact, all the attacker has access to is content that you wanted the public to see in the first place! (which is also safely backed up, of course).
They proceed to poke around in your DMZ only to find that there isn't anything there that they couldn't have seen from the other side of the planet with a web browser. The odds are that at this point they'll either load some trash onto your system in order to use it as a server or an attack zombie, or they'll just deface and/or destroy it. Either way it doesn't matter. The moment you detect what has happened (see Snort, Tripwire, etc) you simply pull the plug, reinstall the box, and restore the backup. Within a few minutes you have a brand spanking new system ready to go back online, and at no point during the process was your private LAN in danger. This is the benefit of running a true DMZ.
Things To Keep In Mind
There are a couple of things worth mentioning about DMZs that I'd like to cover. First of all, there are many SOHO appliances on the market that advertise themselves as having a DMZ. Be weary of these. Some do actually have a true DMZ interface that can be used in the triple-homed configuration and combined with packet filtering, but many just have a port that all traffic gets forwarded to when you enable the 'DMZ'. This is a horrible perversion of the word, and it offers very little, if any, security. What that basically does is pass all ports from the external interface to the box that you connect to the DMZ port. If security is a priority, don't do that. This is nothing but another example of manufacturers catching onto buzzwords and inserting them into their marketing. Rule of thumb: it's not a true DMZ interface unless the product gives you full control of what gets passed back (via NAT) to machines connected to it.
There is also some debate on whether to use hubs or switches for connectivity within your DMZ and LAN, due to security concerns associated with hubs. I used the word 'hub' in the paragraphs above for the sake of simplicity, but it's important to consider the performance and security implications of using each. On the security side, many people say not to use a hub because it would be possible for someone with access to a compromised machine (and the right tools) to run a sniffer and watch all of the traffic going between the Internet and DMZ to the private LAN. This is potentially a concern, but anyone who is going to sniff your internal traffic in order to launch a sophisticated attack later is going to know how to sniff across most switches as well. It is trivial enough to do this that it's arguably permissible to use a hub in the DMZ if you have a good reason to. I do so in order to allow my IDS machine in the DMZ to be able to see all traffic on that network. Switches with mirror ports are still a bit too pricey (but I'm watching ebay for 2950s)
Last but not least, a DMZ is not an impenetrable defense vs. attacks. It'll stop the vast majority of people that the average person running services would come upon, but if a highly skilled cracker wanted spend a whole lot of time and effort, he/she could still be successful. Nothing is worse for your security than thinking you are completely secure.

Indians starting pitcher Michael Montgomery, despite having what he called a "sporadic" game, allowed three hits, walked five, allowed one earned run and struck out 12.
He struck out the side in the second inning with just nine pitches.
"I wish I could do that every inning," Montgomery said. "That's what happens when you execute your pitches."
The Indians broke the game open in the third inning taking advantage of Canyon fielding miscues. Hart scored five runs in the frame.
But the Cowboys (6-16-1, 1-11) kicked off their offense earlier with senior Zach Cossairt driving in Canyon's first run with a single.
The Cowboys would not score again until Ryan Low's sixth-inning RBI single.
But the Indians' offense was relentless as Hart had 14 hits in the game.
Hart's offense got off to a slow start, but in the third inning Spencer Moniz drove in a run with a single to center to tie the game 1-1.
"We have a very well-rounded team," Moniz said. "Once we got the base runners on, things started happening."
One batter later, Hart capitalized on Canyon's first error.
A Danny Susdorf single to center drove in Hart's second run.
He went 2-for-3, with one run scored and an RBI.
Devin Rodriguez then drove Moniz home with a sacrifice fly.
With two outs and Hart leading 3-1, Hart catcher Bryan Lucas doubled. Lucas took third base on an error by Canyon's right fielder allowing Susdorf to score.
The senior catcher then scored a run on a passed ball and Hart led 5-1.
Hart scored back-to-back runs in the bottom of the fifth with Lucas and Matern both hitting singles to center.
Lucas was 3-for-4 and had two RBIs on the day, while Matern was 1-for-4 and added two RBIs.
Hart scored three more in the sixth with pinch hitter Garrett Bailey's double to center driving in two runs followed by Lucas' double to center bringing in the Indians' final run of the game.
Bailey had two RBIs on the game, while Moniz and Rodriguez each had one.
Relief pitcher Ben Nicewicz came in in the seventh and would retire the final three Canyon hitters.
"We have gelled more as a team," Lucas said. " We just have to continue to play better."
The Indians improve their record to 17-6 overall and 11-1 in the Foothill League.
Hart will face Canyon again Friday followed by two games against West Ranch.
Should the Indians get two wins, they will clinch the league title for the first time since 2001.
"We are taking it one team at a time at this point," Montgomery said. "We control our own destiny. We have to stay fired up, we know these teams will be out to get us."

I think Jack Lauer is going to be 6 next month, all of his kids are the same age as mine almost to the day…
Thanks, corrected.

I used to be so in love with Matt Lauer, and
was heartbroken when he married Annette.
He seems to be a very involved father, despite his busy schedule.

don't want to be rude or anything but doesn't he wear his trousers a little too high like someone else?
