I have pictures of one of Selmer USa intermediate saxes. looks alot like the evolution of the 110s though the low C# mechanism is greatly changed. But same thin cups and alot of other features, at least as much as I can tell from a pictures.
I used to think pro horns have the music lyre attached to the neck tightening ring. And lower class have it separate on the body. (but Superba 1 and 2 are like that too)
The one pic has it now on the body with a much cheaper neck socket
I have pictures of a Selmer USA Intermediate sax too, which looks so close to a 110 though it has other obvious changes such as the table keys and C# key is more inside the bow. A much cheaper design though has a ton of the same type of keywork as the Omega/100/110s

text: My name is Alicia, I have a three month old son named Andrew who is completly breastfeed, last thursday I was in the hospital overnight with a bacterial stomach infection and was put on iv antibiotics (Flagyl,and Tequin), I was then instructed that i could not continue nursing my son until the antibiotics were finished which was set for ten days. When i was told this I pretty much freaked out because my son has really bad gastric reflux,Milk protien allergy. He sees a gastro doc every month and i was insructed to breastfeed only and eliminate all dairy out of my diet. So right off the bat i knew i could not continue the antibiotics and my primary instructed me to also stop for my son. Well i waited the 48 hours for the drugs to leave my system during that time i did pump and toss but somehow when i woke this morning to breastfeed my son for the first time i was shocked to see that my milk had nearly vanished. I basically am in need of a way to get it back agian. it is so strange i have always had a large milk supply my son eats every two hours still and is weighing 16 pounds already. I dont get it? I was vomiting and just started eating yesterday could that be the cause and will i ever get my milk back ? I feel so upset, I enjoy feeding my son and knowing that his reflux is under control partly because of my milk. What can i do to get it back? Also does anyone know where you can get a hospital grade pump on the weekends or if its even possiable? Thanks for any help regarding this issue.

International cooperation on major acquisitions continues to grow as an integral part of the defense marketplace. Consequently, those government policies and regulations that influence the ability of U.S. firms to export products, services, and technology, and the ability of foreign firms to participate in U.S.-led development programs have an increasing impact on the health of the defense industrial base, its ability to meet U.S. military needs, and U.S. national security.
The International Division provides a means for member companies to maintain currency with respect to emerging trends which could effect their approach and their success in export markets. Conferences, seminars, and small group meetings are held to review and discuss rules, regulations, and laws pertaining to the highly dynamic international defense trade area and to keep abreast of market trends and opportunities. The division also identifies issues which affect a broad cross-section of member companies and then establishes a dialog with the relevant government agencies to promote change which would alleviate problems.

Flour, salt, ricotta (maybe even homemade!), lemon zest, butter, milk, maple syrup, and eggs. Where are the blueberries?
The maple butter comes first -- this is really fun if the butter is properly softened, and maddening if it isn't!
It looks like a curdled mess now, but just you wait.
The egg yolks are huddling together for warmth next to the hulking iceberg of ricotta. (Titanic on the brain much?)
Drown those egg yolks with the milk -- they'll be okay.
Popping each yolk with the whisk is one of life's simple pleasures.
Whisk until fully incorporated and pale yellow.
Now we add the dry ingredients: first up, flour.
Baking powder for lift and salt for oomph follow.
Fold it all in, but just barely -- you want these to be fluffy, not leaden.
We admit to using electric beaters for these whites, but do it by hand if you like!
Two more folds and this will be done -- if a streak of egg white is left, that's okay.
We love using cast iron for pancakes -- it heats evenly and retains heat batch after batch.
These are just bigger than silver dollars -- no more than two tablespoons of batter per pancake.
Just a minute longer on the other side...
And it's time for breakfast, hotcakes, maple butter, blueberries, and all.
It doesn't get simpler than this: salt, milk, lard, flour. Oh, and scallions.
Stir together the dry ingredients. (You're already halfway done.)
Chop the scallions thinly -- just the greens, please!
It helps to have a friend pour in the warmed milk and water while you stir.
The dough should come together smoothly -- no stickiness.
We'll have no half-hours of kneading here.
It doesn't take much for it all to come together. Then let the balls of dough takes a little rest.
Five minutes later, we're ready to roll!
It helps to generously flour your counter and even your rolling pin -- don't forget to make a few quarter-turns as you knead so the dough rolls out into a perfect circle.
Here's where that lard comes in. We're using local lard that Amanda received from FOOD52er sdebrango!
Now roll it up tight, but don't pull too hard on the dough.
Forming a nautilus...these swirls will become the flaky layers of the final pancake.
It looks like a tiny snail! And now we do it all over again with the other half of the dough.
After a short rest, we rolled the spiral of dough til it was flat again. Now for the scallion part of a scallion pancake.
Roll it up again to embed those scallions inside.
It's hard to be patient, but you'll be rewarded with a relaxed dough that's easy to work with if you let it rest between rolling.
Last time! Think of how good these pancakes will be after such an arm workout.
Into the pan it goes! Make sure the oil is quite hot.
And flip -- those splotches of brown are exactly what you're after.
Cut into eighths and share (or not).

Bears defensive coordinator Tucker to returnThe Associated Press | January 13,2014LAKE FOREST, Ill. Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Mel Tucker will have two new coaches on his staff for next season.
Tucker is keeping his job after Chicagos porous defense played a key role in its 8-8 season, but the Bears announced Sunday that defensive line coach Mike Phair and linebackers coach Tim Tibesar had been dismissed. Hit hard by injuries, Tuckers unit allowed 29.9 points and 394.6 yards per game in his first year in the position.
Our team evaluation remains ongoing. We believe Mel is the right person to lead our defensive unit, Bears coach Marc Trestman said in a statement. He fully understands where we need to improve, has the skill set and leadership to oversee the changes that need to be made and to execute our plan to get the results we know are necessary.
Phair was a holdover from Lovie Smiths tenure as Bears coach, joining the team in 2011 as an assistant defensive line coach. Tibesar was hired a year ago from Purdue, where he was the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach.
The rest of the coaching staff is expected to return for next season.
Our search for a defensive line and linebackers coach has begun and we will be looking for the best candidates whose experience can bring the most out of our veteran and young players in both areas, Trestman said.
Tennesses Dawson interviews for Miami job
MIAMI Tennessee Titans vice president of player personnel Lake Dawson has become the fifth candidate to interview for the Miami Dolphins job of general manager.
Dawson, who interviewed Sunday, joined the Titans in 2007 as director of pro scouting, became vice president of football operations in 2011 and became vice president of player personnel in 2012.
The former NFL receiver has been mentioned as a general manager candidate around the NFL for the past two years.
Interviewed earlier for the Miami job were Browns assistant general manager Ray Farmer, Steelers director of football and business administration Omar Khan, Cardinals vice president of player personnel Jason Licht and Dolphins assistant general manager Brian Gaine.

Fetal scalp pH testing
Also known as: Fetal scalp blood, Scalp pH testing or Fetal blood testing - scalp
- Normal pH: 7.25 - 7.35
- Borderline pH: 7.20 - 7.25
- Continued bleeding from the puncture site (more likely if the fetus has a pH imbalance)
- Infection
- Bruising of the baby's scalp
Fetal scalp pH testing is a procedure performed when a woman is in active labor to determine if the baby is getting enough oxygen.
How the Test is Performed
The procedure typically takes about 5 minutes. The mother lies on her back with her feet in stirrups. If her cervix is dilated at least 3 to 4 centimeters, a plastic cone is placed in the vagina and fit snugly against the scalp of the fetus.
The scalp of the fetus is cleansed and pierced, and a small blood sample is taken for examination. The blood is collected in a thin tube. The tube is either sent to the hospital laboratory or analyzed by a machine in the labor and delivery department. In either case, results are available in just a few minutes.
If the woman's cervix is not dilated enough, it is impossible to perform this test.
How to Prepare for the Test
The health care provider will explain the procedure and its risks. There isn't always a separate consent form for this procedure because many hospitals consider it part of the general consent form you signed at admission.
How the Test will Feel
The procedure should feel like a long pelvic exam. At this stage of labor, many patients already have had epidural anesthesia and may not feel the pressure of the procedure at all.
Why the Test is Performed
Sometimes fetal heart monitoring doesn't provide enough information about the well-being of a baby. In these cases, testing the scalp pH can help the doctor decide whether the fetus is getting enough oxygen during labor. This helps determine whether the baby is healthy enough to continue labor, or if a forceps delivery or [[1002911|cesarean section]] might be the best route of delivery.
Although the test is not uncommon, most deliveries do not involve fetal scalp pH testing.
Normal Results
Normal fetal blood sample results are:
What Abnormal Results Mean
A fetal scalp blood pH level less than 7.20 is considered abnormal.
In general, low pH suggests that the baby does not have enough oxygen, which could mean that the baby is not tolerating labor very well. However, the results of a fetal scalp pH sample need to be interpreted in the context of each individual labor. The provider may feel that the results indicate that the baby needs to be delivered quickly, either by forceps or by cesarean section.
Fetal scalp pH testing may need to be repeated a few times during a complicated labor to continue to check on the baby.
Risks include the following:
This test is not recommended for mothers with infections, such as HIV or hepatitis C.

text: Just got the Internet for the first time yesterday, so it's all new too me. I'm so excited about this site, though. Anyway, I have a five month old baby boy, and bfing was is going ok, but three weeks ago, I had a miscarraige. I've been REALLY depressed about it, and because of animia, my milk supply suffered a little. It's been frustrating on top of everything to feel like I'm letting my little boy down sometimes. I also have two older babies (5 and 4) who need lots of attention since the baby arrived, but I feel so tired and am crying a lot of the time. The worst part is that I feel like everyone else has moved on, but I'm still suffering so much inside and trying to hide it. Is it silly to miss a baby so much that I never even got to see? So if anyone has been through this or has any advice, please let me know. Thanks.

History of Fort Morgan
Completed in
1834, Fort Morgan was active during four wars the
Civil War, the Spanish-American War, and World Wars
I and II. The fort is most famous for its role in
the Civil War Battle of Mobile Bay. Union Admiral
David Farragut damned the torpedoes and went full
speed ahead to win the battle. The massive fort
contains more than 40 million bricks and pays
tribute to the skilled masons, many of whom were
enslaved African Americans.
The fort features an active living history
program that interprets all the military periods and
holds an annual event commemorating the Battle of
Mobile Bay.
Since 1834 Fort Morgan
has stood as the guardian of Mobile Bay. The
military site and National Historic Landmark is
located 22 miles west of Gulf Shores. During the
Civil War on August 5, 1864, Fort Morgan played a
key role during the Battle of Mobile Bay before
surrendering to Union forces after a two-week siege.
Alabama's largest permanent military post between
1900 and 1923, the fort served during the
Spanish-American War and World Wars I and II.
A third system masonry fort constructed between
1819 and 1834, the 479-acre site contains concrete
artillery batteries constructed between 1895 and
1904, and historic military buildings dating from
1899 to 1910. A museum details the American military
history of Mobile Point from 1814 to 1945. Exhibits
feature weapons, uniforms, letters, photographs, and
personal items of soldiers who served at the fort.

Physics & Computer Science
CAP Lecture: The Path to Discovery - A Tale from the LHC
Mar 26/13
Date: Mar 26/13
Time: 11:30 - 12:30
Location: N2090
Cost: none
The 2013 CAP Lecture at WLU will be presented by physicist Dr. Alison Lister from the University of British Columbia. Dr. Lister is a particle physicist who works at CERN on the Higgs boson project. She is an invited speaker at TEDxWaterloo 2013.
*There will be an informal meet and greet with Dr. Lister at 11:00 a.m. with refreshments. All are welcome.
In particle physics we have a model, called the Standard Model, that can describe all of the experimental evidence so far from colliders. But we know it cannot be the full picture. For example it does not explain the matter dominance over antimatter in our universe and does not tell us what all this so-called Dark Matter is. The LHC was built to try and answer some of these questions, but the most pressing one it is trying to answer is: what is the origin of the mass of fundamental particles? This is where the Higgs comes in, the last missing piece of our Standard Model. In this lecture, using results from the ATLAS experiment, we will follow the story of the LHC from the first collisions, via the discovery of the new particle last summer (is it the Higgs?), through to the open-ended quest for 'what else is out there'.
This talk is at a level suitable for undergraduate students.

Hi Max!
I feel like a Teletubby, wanting to give big hugs all around. (Ah. Does anybody else know what I'm talking about here? I'll explain later if so. Then again.)
no closer to discerning the ultimate source
Hmmm, well, we are a bit closer. I know that "Man needs Religion like a fish needs a bicycle" is known as Vique's Law. Also, from Irina Dunn's email, we know that she knew of the saying from philosophical writings. And last but not least, bikes have only been in common usage for a fairly short number of years. We don't have to delve into history much.
I'm convinced we'll find out some time.
the young man's brutal, callous and vicious closing sentence in that post
Eeek! How could I be so thoughtless, my dear chap? Actually I believe Ms Dunn's origins are rather more diverse than is implied by Ms Steinem if you check out the biog linked in to JSA's page. And I'm sure JazzO didn't mean it. And, umm... hey, look at that! [points skyward then runs away]

Salut choupette,
Actually I came to my senses and stopped talking to myself. Good thing, too!
The pond's currently under partial renovation and in partial chaos. Quite fun, though - great having an area that you can't make any more chaotic (the guppies definitely agree there)

Single sign-on (SSO) means that one user ID and one password are entered one time to allow passage from one system to another without interruption. [1] In the realm of web development, this means you can log in on one site and then use the same credentials while moving from one domain to the next. This gets interesting because neither cookies nor JavaScript are allowed to directly share such information across domains. This means that the web applications must perform a little extra footwork to get this communication done. You also need to be concerned that you aren't giving too much information away too easily, so it's also important to allow the user to have a say in the matter during these transactions.
My employer, Boomer Consulting, is building a number of web-based tools to be used by our clients. These tools are being built on different platforms. For example, our main web site, two client service sites, and a support site will be running separate installations of Drupal. Meanwhile, we're also building some custom tools to aid our consultants and clients in Jifty. We also use other tools such as Best Practical RT for issue tracking and client correspondence. Eventually, as our services expand, we will want to integrate our e-commerce platform and possibly even support third-party applications with business partners. All of these require some amount of authentication. We don't want our clients (or our own staff) to log in every time they move from one site to the next. Login is tedious, and remembering multiple passwords is not an efficient use of our brains. By implementing SSO, we can use a single login page to grant access to every affiliated site. That way, our clients don't really need to be aware that they are moving from one platform to another. It makes for a more seamless user experience.
Once you know the general technique, it's actually pretty easy to implement a client-server single sign-on architecture. However, there are several existing SSO solutions out there for web development. One of the most popular such protocols is the Central Authentication Service (CAS), developed by Yale. I've chosen to use this protocol because I can take advantage of existing connectors that are compatible with the various platforms we're using for our web projects. It also provides a common protocol that our partners will be able to implement more easily, using already canned connectors.
This article will outline the CAS server I've developed using Jifty. Learning how CAS works was a tedious process because there's a lot of specialized knowledge involved. Here, I attempt to discuss a CAS server implementation in terms that will be more readily accessible to someone already familiar with Perl. Hopefully, you'll be able to take the principles here to develop your own CAS integration, servers, or clients; or even to roll your own SSO service more easily in Perl.
The CAS protocol is an especially nice SSO interface because it addresses many of the potential security pitfalls. For example, it prevents login replay attacks; it prevents a user from being able to log in as another if the original user inadvertently passes a login token in a pasted link; and it provides advanced features like proxy authentication.
The basic process of logging in to a CAS server is as follows:
That's the CAS protocol in a nutshell. The remainder of this article concerns the specifics of the implementation, which will reveal more about how this actually works.
I've dubbed my implementation of the CAS protocol, CAS+ (or CASPlus for the actual Perl module name). The original CAS server implementation (and the only significant implementation that I'm aware of) is written in Java using the Spring Framework and served using a J2EE application server. I decided to implement my own CAS server using the CAS Protocol Specification on the CAS web site for a few reasons:
Whenever possible, I like to multipurpose a project so that I get benefits on several levels out of the effort. This is the case with CAS+.
I chose Jifty as my platform because I am now very familiar with it, I like it, and I am contributing to the project. Implementing the code took less than a weekend for the main components and a little more than a weekend to test and debug. This is, I believe, both a testament to the excellence of the Jifty platform and the simplicity of the CAS protocol.
Jifty is the brainchild of Best Practical Solutions, which hosts Hiveminder as both a pretty nice to-do list builder and the platform's main demo. I've built CAS+ using a development branch of Jifty, the virtual-models branch. It may not be entirely compatible with the release version of Jifty available from CPAN. Jesse Vincent, the chief monkey wrangler on Jifty, is working to bring this branch into the trunk, so I hope this won't be the case for long. However, the core functionality may work with the CPAN release. At least most tests passed when I last built against the CPAN release, but some of the advanced features (those not directly related to the CAS protocol) will certainly not work.
As of this writing, my implementation's main deviation from the standard regards support for SSL. I believe it should work with SSL for the most part, but I have not yet fully tested any of it, so I cannot confirm it. Also, the implementation does not necessarily require SSL in places where it is supposed to (according to the protocol definition) either, which is a potential security flaw in the current implementation. This is an area that I will be improving when I can get to it.
If you would like to, fetch and work with CAS+ to try it out. You'll first need to install Jifty. If you want to work with the experimental branch that CAS+ is made for, you may run something like the following on Linux or in the Mac OS X terminal:
svn checkout \ http://svn.jifty.org/svn/jifty.org/jifty/branches/virtual-models \ jifty cd jifty perl Makefile.PL make make test make install
Jifty has a large number of CPAN dependencies. Most, if not all, of these dependencies should install automatically. If you have trouble, see the Jifty web site on how to get help with the installation. If you do not have SQLite installed, you will probably want to do so for easy testing of Jifty and CAS+.
Next, you need to install CAS+. To do so, you will need to run these additional commands:
svn checkout \ http://svn.jifty.org/svn/jifty.org/apps/CASPlus/trunk \ CASPlus cd CASPlus
If everything has gone as planned and SQLite is installed, you can now run:
bin/jifty schema --setup bin/jifty server
The first command builds the database and the second starts the test web server. Next, you should be able to contact the CAS+ server on your local machine at
http://localhost:8889/. Of course, you can't log in yet because there are no users entered. At this time, the administration interface provided by Jifty may or may not allow you to add users due to recent bugs in CAS+ (this is still not a mature service), but if you entered the usernames and passwords directly into the users table of the CASPlus database using the command-line interface of SQLite, you can test login as well.
I don't recommend you use this service for production purposes at this time, but I would welcome additional contributors if you are interested in it.
Before I go too far into the description of the code and process, let me give you a crash course in the pieces that make up Jifty. Here are the most important ones:
This is a pretty typical arrangement for MVC web frameworks.
The key to understanding most Jifty applications is in the dispatcher. Basically, the Jifty dispatcher determines what views to display for any given request made by a client. Jifty has a declarative syntax for building the rules, which makes it particularly easy to determine what's going on. Because of this, I've been able to define one rule per action step in the CAS protocol, since each step can be uniquely identified by the dispatcher.
The Jifty dispatcher for CAS+ is named CASPlus::Dispatcher. (The dispatcher is always named App::Dispatcher for all Jifty applications where "App" is the name of the main application class.)
The first step the CAS server is aware of is a request for login. This can happen either as a direct request from the user (i.e., he directly requests the /login URL from the server) or by a redirect from a web service when it wants to verify the user's identity. In Jifty, this looks like the following:
on GET 'login' => run { my $service = get 'service'; my $renew = get 'renew'; my $gateway = get 'gateway'; # Check for existing login my $action = Jifty->web->new_action( class => 'LoginCheck', arguments => { service => $service, renew => $renew, gateway => $gateway, }, ); $action->run; # Deal with $action->result... };
The first line declares that any GET request coming to "/login" should be handled by running the LoginCheck action (CASPlus::Action::LoginCheck), which checks to see whether the user already has a valid login with the system.[2] I normally don't specify that it has to be a GET in my Jifty dispatchers, but in this case it was convenient to separate the GET from the POST since POST is used for login submission.
The next three lines fetch query string parameters. The "service" parameter may hold a URL. This is the URL to redirect to upon successful (or in some cases, failed) login. The "renew" parameter may be set in order to force the user to log in again. This can be useful if a service wants to reconfirm that the user is still the correct person for additional security. If this is set, the LoginCheck action will always fail because a new login is required by the service, even if the user already has valid login credentials. The "gateway" parameter is used by a service just to perform a quick check for login.
The actual action carried out by LoginCheck is complex, but mundane. I'll summarize by explaining the base cases and then the exceptions.
Those are the two typical cases. If you were to implement your own SSO system, these might be the two basic cases for your service and you wouldn't necessarily need to worry about the exceptions. However, CAS implements some special features that allow for additional flexibility.
In summary, a service requests a login by redirecting the user to "/login" with at least the "service" parameter set. If the user has a login cookie (TGC), the browser is redirected back to the URL set in the "service" parameter with an additional "ticket" parameter attached containing a service ticket. If the user does not have a TGC, the user will be shown a login screen and asked to log in.
The first time the user reaches the "/login" URL, he will be shown a login form (share/web/templates/login). Once filled, the form is submitted and processed. This is handled by this dispatcher rule:
on POST 'login' => run { my $username = get 'username'; my $password = get 'password'; my $lt = get 'lt'; my $service = get 'service'; my $warn = get 'warn'; # The login screen uses a standard action, find it my $login = Jifty->web->new_action( class => 'Login', moniker => 'login', arguments => { username => $username, password => $password, lt => $lt, service => $service, warn => $warn, }, ); $login->run; # handle $action->result success or failure... };
This time, the dispatcher handles POST requests to "/login" by running the Login action.
The Login action (CASplus::Action::Login) makes its decisions on the basis of five different parameters submitted with the form. The "username" and "password" parameters are exactly what you would expect, the username and password submitted by the user. CAS does not require password authentication, but it is the form most web developers and end users are familiar with. CAS+ currently only supports password authentication, but other forms of authentication may be added in the future.
The "lt" parameter is an interesting one that is worth some elaboration. It represents the Login Ticket (LT), a unique identifier placed as a hidden parameter within every CAS login form. These are represented in CAS+ by the LoginAttempt model. A login, whether successful or not, may only use an LT for one submission. The purpose of this parameter is to prevent someone from performing what is called a "replay attack." Say you use a public terminal to log in to CAS, do your work, and then log out of CAS, but your browser session remains open. A malicious user could use the Back button of the browser to go back to the login form and repost it (since POSTs are often cached with the history on most browsers) and gain access to your resources. However, because a Login Ticket may never be used more than once, the attack is thwarted most of the time.[3] This may not be quite the problem it once was with older browsers, but it is still an interesting security precaution to be aware of.
The "service" parameter is the URL of the web service requesting the user's identity. This URL is put into the form so that the user (who does not yet have a session within CAS) may be redirected back to the web service upon successful login. The "warn" parameter is set when the "Warn me when logging into additional services" checkbox is checked. This is the setting that allows the user to be notified any time another web service attempts to gain access to the user's identity.
The Login action processes the most important of these parameters in the way you would expect. If the "lt" has already been used or is not one the CAS server has issued, the login will fail. If the "username" and "password" don't match a user record, the Login action will fail. On failure, the dispatcher returns the user to the form with an error message.
If the "username" and "password" match a record in the users table, a cookie (the TGC) is set for later reference to the user's session. A TGC record is created in the database (in the SSOSession model), which is used to remember the user's session information for later reference. After successfully logging in, the Login action will perform additional actions. If the user checked the "warn" checkbox, a note is made in the session record to warn the user on future LoginCheck actions.
Finally, if "service" is specified, a Service Ticket (ST) is generated (and stored in the ServiceSession model). A service ticket is an identifier attached to the user's login session that associated the "service" URL with the session. During the next phase of CAS authentication, the web service uses this identifier to validate the user's login claim and learn the user's identity.
On success, the dispatcher will redirect the user back to the "service" URL with the Service Ticket attached if the "service" parameter was set. The Service Ticket is added to the "service" URL in the "ticket" parameter. If no "service" URL has been given, the dispatcher just shows a page stating that login was successful.
Once the CAS server has verified the identity of the user--either by an explicit login or by checking that the user has already logged in and has a valid login session already in place--the CAS server will send the user back to the web service with a Service Ticket set in the "ticket" parameter. To complete the transaction, the web service requesting the identity of the user must then finish the transaction by contacting the CAS server directly.
By passing the communication up to this point through the user's browser, the user is allowed to control the transaction to some extent. If she doesn't want the web service requesting authentication to know her identity, she is able to stop the transaction. It also provides a straightforward mechanism for presenting the login page for verifying her credentials. At some point, however, the web service must be able to contact the CAS server directly or else the user could easily pretend to be someone she is not. This is one reason why the Service Ticket is passed rather than directly passing back the identity or credentials. The other reason for the Service Ticket is that it prevents the web service from ever gaining direct access to the user's credentials. That is, the web service consuming the user's identity never knows her password, only that the CAS server vouches for her identity.
The next step then, is for the web service to contact the CAS server directly to verify that the Service Ticket belongs to a valid user and to find out what the identity of that user is. The web service does this by using its own web client to directly contact the CAS server via the "/serviceValidate" page.[4] In CAS+, this is handled in the dispatcher as follows:
on 'serviceValidate' => run { my $validate = Jifty->web->new_action( class => 'Validate', arguments => { service => get 'service', ticket => get 'ticket', pgtUrl => get 'pgtUrl', renew => get 'renew', }, ); $validate->run; set result => $validate->result; show '/serviceValidate'; };
Here, the Validate action (lib/CASPlus/Action/Validate.pm) is called and then the "serviceValidate" template is used to return the response.
The "service" parameter here is what it has been all along, the URL of the service requesting login. This must be the exact URL used in the redirect, and it serves to help validate the authenticity of the web service. The "ticket" parameter is the Service Ticket that was passed back through the redirect (or at least that the user has claimed was passed in the redirect). Again, this must be the exact value that was passed back by CAS. The "pgtUrl" is used in proxying authentication, which will be discussed in Part 2 of this article. If a web service doesn't need to proxy authentication, which would be the typical case, then this parameter wouldn't be given. And the "renew" parameter is set if the service wants to verify that the user did just log in. This is used as the other half of the Login Renewal process discussed above.
The Validate action checks to see that a Service Ticket matches the given service URL and that it is associated with a valid login session. If the service sets the "renew" parameter, the Validate action performs the additional check that the Service Ticket being tested was the result of a fresh login (probably forced using the "renew" parameter to "/login"). If any of these tests fail, the Validate action returns failure.
Furthermore, there are two additional tests that must pass. First, the Service Ticket being validated must not be too old. Typically, "too old" means that it was issued more than five minutes ago. In CAS+, this time period is configurable. If the Service Ticket is too old, it is invalid and Validate will fail.
Second, the Service Ticket can only be validated once. If the Service Ticket being checked has already been validated once before, then the Validate action also fails. This latter test is important in case a person copies a link and sends it to someone else, and that link happens to include a Service Ticket parameter. In that case, the web service would attempt to validate the Service Ticket for the other person a second time and fail, which would probably result in a new redirect to login. If the other user is already logged in, then an immediate redirect back to the source with a new Service Ticket would be made, and the other user may not even be aware of the transaction happening that allows her to see the page correctly anyway.
If all of these tests succeed, then the Validate action returns success.
The dispatcher passes both success and failure on to the "serviceValidate" template (share/web/templates/serviceValidate). As of this writing, all the templates are written using Mason, which is the original templating system available with Jifty.[5]
<?xml version="1.0"?> <cas:serviceResponse xmlns:cas="http://www.yale.edu/tp/cas"> % if ($result->success) { <cas:authenticationSuccess> <cas:user> <% $result->content('username') %> </cas:user> % if ($result->content('proxy_granting_ticket')) { <cas:proxyGrantingTicket> <% $result->content('proxy_granting_ticket') %> </cas:proxyGrantingTicket> % } </cas:authenticationSuccess> % } else { <cas:authenticationFailure code="<% $result->content('code') %>"> <% $result->error %> </cas:authenticationFailure> % } </cas:serviceResponse> <%args> $result </%args> <%init> $r->content_type('application/xml'); </%init>
You can see that the response is in XML, and that the Validate action sets several variables on the result object that are used to tailor the response. On success, a message like the following is returned.
<?xml version="1.0"?> <cas:serviceResponse xmlns:cas="http://www.yale.edu/tp/cas"> <cas:authenticationSuccess> <cas:user>sterling</cas:user> </cas:authenticationSuccess> </cas:serviceResponse>
The web service can parse this message to know that the validation was successful and to learn the user's login name. The CAS protocol does not specify any other information about the user, just the name. This name could be used to grab information from an LDAP server or another external service if additional information is required. The CAS 3.0 protocol also specifies extension mechanisms for adding additional details about the user to the protocol. The CAS+ implementation I have written will implement a mechanism for sharing additional attributes about the user as well.
On failure, a different message is returned. For example, if the Service Ticket were invalid because a renewal was requested, but the Service Ticket was not gained from a fresh login, the web service would get the following message:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <cas:serviceResponse xmlns:cas="http://www.yale.edu/tp/cas"> <cas:authenticationFailure code="INVALID_TICKET"> Service ticket ST-DHF81OKF08100JGC192389HNFN92VN3ZX is not a renewal. </cas:authenticationFailure> </cas:serviceResponse>
The response includes both a regular identifier to help the service automatically identify and respond to the problem and a textual error that can be used for logging to help the administrator diagnose problems later. (I highly recommend NOT giving CAS error messages to the end user.) You can see the CAS Protocol Specification for information on the various codes and their meanings.
This server may now be used by a client web service to determine the identity of a user. This is done when the web service redirects the user to CAS to check for login. The CAS server asks the user for credentials, either in the form of a username and password or in a Ticket Granting Cookie, which is used to resume an existing session. Once the CAS server is satisfied that the user is who he claims to be, it redirects the user back to the originating web service (possibly without the user being aware of the transaction taking place). The web service receives this new request with the Service Ticket attached and then uses that ticket to verify and retrieve the identity of the user.
All of this takes place in just a few steps and really only requires three URLs to be implemented on the server side (though some of the decisions behind each URL can be complicated). I've presented the basics of that implementation here as I've done it in Jifty.
So far, I've covered the really key features of how to implement the Central Authentication Service server in Jifty. What I've covered so far are the features provided by the CAS 1.0 protocol (though, I've covered validation using the CAS 2.0 implementation, which provides most of the same features but with a nicer response format).
As of CAS 2.0, additional features were added to the protocol to cover proxied authentication. With proxy authentication, you gain the ability to provide authentication to non-web services that are being proxied by a web service. For example, if you have a portal that provides access to an IMAP mail server, your portal can use CAS for login and then use CAS to indirectly pass identity information to the IMAP server in a way that the IMAP server can directly verify. I will be covering this process in Part 2 of this article.

[2] Normally, Jifty runs actions automatically on the basis of the forms submitted, but that won't work for this case, because I'm attempting to duplicate a protocol that doesn't include the monikers and action parameters that Jifty normally does. However, Jifty was flexible enough to allow me to do this without any difficulty.
[3] Only most of the time, because a browser might be implemented to allow the replay using a new LT. The CAS protocol authors have noted that at least some versions of Safari have this problem.
[4] This is assuming the CAS 2.0 protocol. In CAS 1.0, the URL was "/validate" and had a completely different response format. A nice thing to note about the CAS+ implementation is that both "/validate" and "/serviceValidate" are handled using the same action, Validate, but a different response template handles the difference in the protocol version responses.
[5] Jifty has recently added support for a new template system called Template::Declare and there has been discussion of adding support for the Template Toolkit.

Man trapped when truck hits back of school bus in ProctorApril 10,2014Rob Mitchell / Staff Photo
Rutland Town Firefighters, State Police and Regional Ambulance service rescue workers prepare to extract a man from the cab of the truck he was driving when it hit the back of an empty school bus stopped at a railroad crossing.A man was injured and taken to the hospital after the truck he was driving ran into the back of an empty school bus that had stopped for a railroad crossing on Route 3 in Proctor this morning.
The man was trapped in the truck for about an hour while firefighters and rescue crews worked to cut away the truck around him and remove him from the cab. Emergency workers set up an IV bag while firefighters used a sawsall and a circular saw to cut, then peel away the roof of the truck cab. They removed the truck door, and then lifted the man out onto a stretcher.
He was taken to the hospital by Regional Ambulance Service around 9:30 a.m.
The bus driver was shooken up, but not seriously injured, according to police at the scene.
The truck was carrying three dogs; two in carriers in the back of the truck and one in the cab of the truck.
One dog escaped and ran around the accident scene while troopers tried to call it closer to attach a leash; the dog eventually ran off up the railroad tracks.
Det. Sgt. Butch Abdelnour of the Vermont State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation, coaxed one of dogs from the carrier into his car and sat with another by the side of the road, waiting for a family member to come to collect the canines. He had been in the area and responded to help out.
Rutland Town Fire Department, multiple State Police troopers, Rutland Town Police, the Rutland County Sherrif and Rutland Regional Ambulance responded to the scene.

Up until recently I had ignored the revision lists (Dvēseļu revīzijas) offered on Raduraksti. Curious about the ownership and history of Skrundenieki farm, I decided to take a stab at deciphering this unfamiliar resource. These lists are recordings of peasants arriving at and departing from different estates, if they moved. If your particular family did not move around a lot, as I am unsure my Ziverts (Skrundenieki's owners) did, chances are they will not be found in this resource.
The revision lists are organized by estate, not draudze, pagast, aprinki, novad, rajon…etc. These terms can be a little confusing if you are not very familiar with the geography of our ancestor's homeland (as was the case for me the first time I tried the use the revision lists). I am now very familiar with the area surrounding Skrundenieki, and know that prior to 1925ish, it was part of what used to be Brinkenhof estate, also known as "Gross Altdorf" in German (Embutes/Amboten lutheran draudze, Brinki/Nikrace/Brinkenhof/Nikrazzen pagast, Aizputes/Hasenpoth aprinki, Vainodes/Wainoden novad, Liepajas rajon, Kurzeme… I know, confusing right?). So I leafed through the Brinkenhof revision list, really just scanning for the Ziverts name in relation to Skrundenieki.
Within a few pages, something caught my eye. An entry for a "Klavs Laure Siewert". Since I'd already gone through the area's church books with a fine-toothed comb, I am already familiar with this Klavs Siewert. He married Lina Grinbergs in 1881 at Embute lutheran church, and they had a daughter named Mathilde Emilie Wilhelmine Siewert in 1882 at Nodaggen estate (I have yet to figure out what that name is in modern Latvian). Also notable from the church books: living at Nodaggen simultaneously at that time as well was an Ernest Siewert, his wife Marija and their son Karlis.
But back to the revision list. In 1883, Klavs, Lina and their daughter Matilde left Nodaggen and moved to Brinkenhof estate. The lists divide men on one side (left), and women on the other (right). Here is their recording:
I can't make out the large block of text beside Klav's entry, but most of it looks to be talking about how he came to Gross Altdorf in 1883 and left from Nodaggen estate. He was born December 12, 1841 (and as fate would have it, 1842 is where the Embute church books end..). he was 42 at the time of the move…. and if you notice, it lists his wife Lina as only 21 years of age (and daughter Matilde 1 year old). With such an age gap, was Lina Klav's second wife?
What really attracted me to Klav's record is that my own ancestors – Indriks Ziverts and Jule Dzerve – named their first born son Klavs Jeannot, and one of his godparents is listed as Klavs Jeannot, who is listed as the owner of the farm they lived on (Skrundenieki). Some of the text beside this inscription in the younger Klavs' baptism either points to the fact that the older Klavs, the same one listed in the revision list above, is either the father of Indriks Ziverts, or his uncle. I can't tell which, because Indriks and Jule named their second son Peteris Ziverts, and one of his godparents is Peteris Ziverts, with the same inscription. Both uncles? When did these Siewerts come to Brinkenhof estate? There are no other Siewerts in Brinkenhof's revision list history.
Also, I discovered that Skrundenieki is much older than I had suspected, existing at least as early as 1811 under the same name.
More to come, as I learn to decipher these records…

Meet the busiest man at Goldman Sachs
For three years, colleagues joked that Charlie Burrows could often be found in the gym at Goldman Sachs' London office. Then, in the second half of last year, the jokes stopped. The former HSBC analyst, who joined Goldman Sachs in 2002, suddenly found himself in demand.
Burrows, who turns 50 next month, has a role that is seemingly unique at Europe's bulge-bracket banks: the equity research analyst who specialises in initial public offerings.
Famously focused on costs and efficiency, Goldman Sachs has typically shied away from employing big-name analysts ranked highly in external surveys. Instead it chooses to employ younger staff, many of whom are in their late 20s and early 30s, who cover a higher number of stocks than is typical for their rivals. That leaves an experience gap when it comes to IPOs, and that is where Burrows comes in.
Few column inches have been dedicated to the one-time capital goods analyst since he joined Goldman, outside of his appointment to managing director in 2008.
According to multiple sources inside the Wall Street bank and at rivals, however, his relatively low profile belies the importance of his role on almost every major flotation the US bank was involved in last year in Europe. Deals on which the bank worked last year range from the flotation of the UK's Royal Mail to that of Russian credit card business TCS, and from entertainment group Merlin to Italian retailer Moncler.
It also highlights the way in which Goldman, while operating within the rules, refuses to abide by industry norms. The bank declined to make Burrows available for interview.
Burrows doesn't do the analysis of the companies themselves. Instead, he works with Goldman's sector analysts, guiding them through the differences between writing research on a new company and doing their day job, writing buy, hold and sell notes on existing companies.
He isn't put forward as an industry expert, and never attends meetings without the sector analyst. However, he is always there, always part of the team. One independent adviser said: "I always see Charles, at every pitch I go to."
Once a deal is done, he moves on to the next IPO candidate, while the sector analyst continues to research the company that has just come to market. Given how many deals Goldman has worked on over the past six months, that may have made him one of Goldman's busiest employees.
The Wall Street bank helped to float 18 companies in Europe, the Middle East and Africa last year, with 11 of those deals coming in rapid succession during the second half of the year.
The logic of Goldman Sachs' alternative model is simple: while it is ludicrous to suggest one analyst could be an expert across multiple sectors and companies, Burrows is an expert in new companies coming to market, and arguably has more experience than anyone in the region of bringing new issuers to Europe's equity markets.
But the roving IPO analyst model has its critics, principally among those banks that employ – and foot the bill for – top-ranked analyst teams.
One head of European equity capital markets at a rival Wall Street bank said: "It's a joke. The way I look at it, they use other banks' research to [run deals]."
Bankers argue some clients can be left cold too, with one independent adviser saying: "I find CEOs like experienced people in their industry. Charles serves a purpose – and that's what's written on the tin – but that doesn't appeal to all."
Investors, too, voice some concerns about analysts involved in IPO marketing moving from deal to deal. George Luckraft, a fund manager at Axa Framlington, said: "Very definitely it is preferable to have that continuity. When you've met an analyst in the process of the valuation, seeing whether it is fit for flotation, they have more knowledge for continued writing."
Others argue that Goldman's clients know what they are signing up for, and that the bank's value-add has never been in its research, but rather in its advisory know-how and sales force.
A former Goldman Sachs managing director who now works for a Wall Street rival in Europe said: "Goldman doesn't come out on top for research in many cases but overall the package is good."
He added: "Their relative strength is really more on the banking side, on the investment banker covering the respective parties intensely for a long time, who can position the [IPO client] effectively."
Ultimately, market share might just be the best proof of the model; Goldman was ranked top for IPOs in Europe, the Middle East and Africa last year, with a 10.6% market share, according to Dealogic. Globally, it also ranked top, with a 9% market share, 1.8 percentage points ahead of its nearest competitor.
The bank has no plans to do away with its approach in Europe, according to those at the firm. For rivals, the hope is that Goldman becomes a victim of its own success, and the model falters under the strain of the bulging IPO pipeline.
The former Goldman Sachs managing director, who previously worked with Burrows, said: "Certainly when I was there, there was a discussion about when IPOs would pick up. Number one, he's too stretched and number two, it's a bit controversial."
One head of European equity syndicate at a European rival, added: "How does it work in a year when there's an IPO every three weeks?" He added: "I'd love to know how they cope with the bandwidth."

BSC Faculty Member Receives a Grant from WV-INBRE for Research in the Application of Natural Products for Immunotherapy
CreatedMonday, October 22 2012
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 firstname.lastname@example.com
(Bluefield)—Dr. Tesfaye Belay, a faculty member at Bluefield State College, has been selected to receive a $25,000 grant award from the Center for Natural Product Research, a research program supported by the West Virginia–Idea Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (WV-INBRE). The grant proposes to conduct research related to the discovery and/or application of natural products to chemotherapy or immunotherapy applications.
"The research involved in this grant will focus upon testing whether the feeding of stressed mice with active hexose correlated compound (AHCC) of Mushroom extract can restore the immune functions in the stress mouse infected with Chlamydia trachomatis,"
Dr. Belay commented. The new immunotherapeutics studies stem from his ongoing work on the "Effect of stress on pathogenesis of Chlamydia trachomatis and immune responses in a mouse model." AHCC is commercially available most commonly in Japan and is used as a nutritional supplement taken orally, the BSC faculty researcher added. The AHCC supply for the BSC research project's experimental purposes will be provided by the Amino Up Chemical Company of Japan.
Dr. Belay noted that the study of immunogenic and immunostimulator compounds as potential countermeasures to infectious diseases is particularly relevant in the current biomedical research realm. "Our research group is interested in studying the usage of AHCC because it has become increasingly attractive, given the limitations of chlamydia vaccine development," he concluded.


text: I have been dealing with what I believe is an oversupply issue with my son. He is 4.5 weeks old and has been gaining 2 ounces a day. He has gone from 6 lbs 9 oz at birth, with his low beiing 5lbs 14 oz to 9 lbs 10 oz today. I didn't realize this was an issue until reading other posts on the forum. He also chokes several times during a nursing session, and has started pulling away and waiting after the milk lets down. He does not want to comfort nurse, but is always wanting to suck either on my finger or a pacifier. He also is VERY gassy and has a hard time burping, he seems uncomfortable all the time. He poops about 4-6 times a day and it started out yellow and curdy but is now green. I never had this issue with my first child, and she nursed all the time for comfort and never took a pacifier. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

According to a recent report by the Federal Reserve, most homeowners believe home prices will rise within the next year.
In the report the Economic Well-Being of U.S. Households, the Federal Reserve surveyed more than 4,000 Americans in 2013. They were asked questions about their overall financial situation, as well as housing.
In the report, 26 percent of home owners said they expect a 5 percent or less increase in their home value. Fourteen percent expected an increase of more than 5 percent, and less than 10 percent expected home prices to fall over the next year.
The report also found that many renters are looking to purchase homes. About 10 percent of renters said they were currently looking to buy a home. The report found that the main reasons many renters were currently still renting instead of owning was lack of money for a down payment and being unable to qualify for a mortgage.

Berlin Pond: Catch limit to be reduced Jan. 26
BERLIN Yellow perch in Berlin Pond arent completely off the hook, but their chances of staying out of some anglers creels will improve measurably starting a week from Saturday.
That is when daily limits for perch in the pond will be reduced from 50 to 10 as part of a revised test waters designation, officials from the state Department of Fish and Wildlife said this week.
The department adopted the designation in the immediate aftermath of last years Vermont Supreme Court decision striking down long-standing restrictions on the recreational use of the 256-acre pond. The designation initially focused on bass, making it catch-and-release only for those fish through Dec. 31, 2015.
According Rich Kirn, the state fisheries biologist, the rationale that drove the temporary bass ban is also behind the plan to reduce the daily limits for perch on a pond that hadnt been seriously fished for more than a century.
Kirn said studies of unexploited fish populations, like those in Berlin Pond, suggest they are often composed of a high proportion of old, slow-growing fish that are vulnerable to angling when opened to fishing.
That was a concern right off the bat with bass, according to Kirn, who said the department took a wait-and-see approach when it came to perch in part because it didnt have much in the way of reliable data and no way to judge how aggressively the pond that was previously off-limits would be fished.
Kirn, who has been monitoring the pond since ice fishing started this month, said early results have been good, with high catches of large yellow perch.
We have seen fishing pressure steadily grow during the past couple of weeks with lots of large perch being caught, Kirn said. While many anglers are catching relatively few fish, others have been successful in nearing or reaching their daily limit.
According to Kirn, the average size of those fish 11 inches is somewhat larger than he expected based on a spring survey.
Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Patrick Berry said he was signing the revised test water designation based on up-to-date information.
Now that we have some data from recent creel surveys, we recognize the need to act immediately, he said.
According to Berry, the limit should protect the fishery as a sustainable resource while allowing anglers to enjoy taking home a few perch for dinner.
Over time, Kirn said, the fish populations in Berlin Pond will adjust to fishing.
We expect the yellow perch population density, fish size and growth rates will change, he said, explaining the department will continue to monitor the pond and use the information it collects to develop appropriate fishing regulations.
Our plan is to sustain this fishery for the long term, and we feel the test-water designation will help support that goal, he said.

Stay Watch: 2011 continues as we wait to hear if the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis grants the NFL a stay, which would extend the lockout at least another month through the expedited hearing on June 3. For now, we bring you actual football news.
Bryant shows up … After Jerry Jones and Dez Bryant were unable to meet last Friday about Bryant's recent off-the-field troubles, but Bryant was finally with his teammates Wednesday as the Cowboys conducted workouts. QB Tony Romo said Bryantmoved around well, which, if true, is a good sign for someone who had surgery to repair a fractured fibula five months ago. Bryant missed the first day of informal player-led workouts because of a family issue but said he plans to be there for the rest. Bryant is a big key to the Cowboy offense this season, as if he stays healthy and focused, he has the talent to become a big-time receiver and certainly showed flashes of that last year. Roy Williams clearly isn't the player he once was, and there's plenty of room for Bryant to emerge as a playmaker on the outside opposite Miles Austin.

"We found out students are going to college and buying their books on an iPad and don't want them going to post-secondary ed (education) not being able to use those devices," McMullen Superintendent Dave Underwood said. "I think it's another tool to advance student learning."
The McMullen school board approved the purchase of 270 iPads as well as charging stations and Apple TVs and printers for students to use with their iPads during their meeting on June 24.
Students in kindergarten through sixth grade will each have iPads to use in the classroom and students in seventh and eighth grade will be able to use them freely around the campus as well as in the classroom. High school students will be able to take their iPads home for homework and personal use.
The district is going to look into transitioning their textbooks onto the iPads, according to Underwood. He said the biggest benefit of having them in the classroom will be for science classes since it will let students have access to tools and digital content they otherwise wouldn't have.
Although the tablet computers can be used for educational purposes, they are capable of doing more. Because of this, the board also approved policies for parent training to help parents know how to monitor their child's online activities.
"Everything is filtered here," Underwood said. "A lot of kids have phones with data plans, so parents are used to that, but some might not be."
In other McMullen school news:
• The district will build a four-plex house for teachers with two two-bedroom units and two three-bedroom units. The board also approved the purchase of a half-acre piece of property and house in Tilden that connects to the school's property.
"We're pretty short on houses; I feel like we're always behind on teacher housing," Underwood said.
He said the property is near the track, next to some property that the district purchased in the 1990s.
• The district is looking into working with Texas A&M University in Kingsville and a craft training school in Corpus Christi on providing opportunities for students to get welding certification while still in high school.

From the moment HWKN in NYC approached Dazian with the MOMA PS1 summer project, we were intrigued and excited by the opportunity. The crisp clean lines of the design required precision fabrication. The technical challenge: the skeleton is constructed from scaffolding which is geometrically imperfect. Consulting with the architects from the beginning stages of producing the fabric coverings, we delivered a custom constructed fabric sheath with the ability to allow for tolerance during installation. The final product is an example of meticulous fabrication and sophisticated design that is visible in the skyline from blocks away. More

The New York Knicks(12-27) vs the Miami Heat(8-31)
Saturday, 1/18 at 7:30pm ET live on MSG
Welcome to the MSGknickz33 pregame show. Im your host Jazzy Jeff and we'll see if a fresh prince (Wade) can lead his team past Uncle Phil and his squad (Zach Randolph and the Knicks).
Starting Lineups
Miami Heat
pg-Jason Williams
sg-Dwayne Wade
sf-Ricky Davis
pf-Udonis Haslem
And Now Your New York Knicks!!!!
At Point Guard, Jamal Crawford
At Shooting Guard, Fred Jones
At Small Forward, Quentin Richardson
At Power Forward, Zach Randolph
At Center, Eddy Curry
What do the Knicks need to do to win?
- Play more defense then they did against Washington
- Only worry about Wade, the rest of the team sucks
- Shaq is old
- Miami Sucks
Although the Knicks looked tired against the Wizards last nite, they are playing Miami who is a complete joke. I think they are the worst team in the NBA even thought they dont have the worst record. Pat Riley deserves this after firing Stan Van Gundy and going on to win a championship.
The Heat and the Knicks are both proof that it is a bad idea to have the same gm and coach. Any team that does this in the future is even dumber then the Knicks and the Heat.
Shaq mite miss the game, hes injured every other day.
Wade is overrated.
Who are the good 3 point shooters on Miami?
- Chris Quinn-44.9%
- Ricky Davis-36.7%
- Jason Williams-35.3%
What do you get when you combine Shaq, Jerome James, Zach Randolph, and Eddy Curry?
Im not sure, uhh the worlds largest pile of ****?
Trinidad vs Jones is tomorrow night. That should be a good boxing match, any predictions?
The Knicks play the Celtics on Monday afternoon at 1pm. I hate the Celtics and I hope we win but its gonna be a tough game. Maybe with Jerome James back now, who knows anything can happen.
Im MSGknickz33 and thanks for joining me for my pregame show. Catch the Knicks and the Heat Saturday night on MSG. It will be a buffet.
wow, no replies. I understand, theres alot of fat boring players in this game. Imagine if Antoine Walker was still with the Heat.
We shouldnt be losing by 9. Miami sucks more then us.
cant believe we r down at the half. Jeez that 3 winning streak now appears like luck. I remember how we said MSG we only won those 3 cause Detroit and Washington were coming off back to back games and we always beat NJ.
Looks like we were right.
Yep, we r waaaaaaaay better without Marbury lol.
I can see the replies to this one. "Marbury wouldnt help this situation" and so on lol.
Are the Knicks a better team without Marbury? no way
lol, Shaq >>> Curry (still)
Wow, we are still down by 6.
only down by 4pts, i will take that at this stage. Miami arent finishing games off well this season so we should get over them if we r any good.
only down by 2, we gotta win this game!
There Can Only Be One Lady NYK
think we got this, damn we r lucky
Interesting to see Jared Jefferies on the court down the stretch of a game but he has been awesome for the Knicks tonight. He has guarded Wade here late in the quarter holding him to only 5 points in the fourth.
Jeffries does nothing statistically but sometimes he makes a difference with his D. He chose a good night to show up. We got the win but it was an ugly game. Richardsons offensive streak ended tonight.
All that counts @ the end of the night is Wins and Losses.. & we have won 4 out of 5
Wow yo I didn't even know we were playin tonight lol. It was my first missed game all year. Ha and they win. Go figure.
Damn player-centric usernames straight to hell.

What's all that other stuff in my medicine?
If you read enough supplement advertisements, like I do, you'll often see the purity of a product often cited as one of its merits. It's usually some phrase like:
Contains no binders! No fillers! No colours! No excipients! No starch! No gluten! No coatings! No flow agents!
It's a point of pride for supplement manufacturers to advertise that their product contains nothing but the labelled ingredient. And that's also seen as an important benefit to many that purchase supplements. The perception from many consumers (based on my personal experience) seems to be that products are inferior if they contain non-drug ingredients. By this measure, drug products are problematic. Pharmaceuticals all contain an array of binders, coatings, supplements and fillers. Even (gasp) artificial ingredients and sweeteners! And they're often, though not always, disclosed on the package label.
But rather than being a negative feature, these supplementary, non-medicinal ingredients play a critical role in ensuring that drug products are of consistent and reproducible quality. Without them, we'd have products that are potentially unstable, we'd be unclear if they were actually being absorbed, and we wouldn't know if they actually delivered any active ingredients into the body. In short, we'd be in the same situation we're currently in with many herbal remedies and other types of supplements.
