ESPN2 just showed some highlights.. didn't see francis in the lineup, what happened to him?
wow that was one of the best comebacks they were down by 1 after being down by 23 in the first half, they were ona 20-2 run to cut it to 1 the knicks had the ball wen they were down by 1 but failed, the knicks had this in their hand but they lost again this one hurts
wow..if you just watched that knicks game you know what im thinking. nate robinson has that ability to just take over games....even when hes not scoreing he got marbury going. nate needs to start and they need to keep this type of ball going. i said on another post malik needs to play. now everyone can see why. that energy he and nate brought was amazing. i hope steph keeps playin like he did in the 4th cuz he will have the whole league believeing orange and blue.
If Steve really is hurt then This is Nates chance. Tiki got his chance to start because the realy starter on the team got hurt. this is Nates chance.
Also Bowen should be fined for that. This is not the firsttime. Anyone remember Vince carters season ending injury from bowen?
That's crazy - how u blame steph for the loss??!!!
The dude was manning up and playing D late in the 3rd and all of the 4th....everyone on the court had a hand in setting up the 20-2 run...
When we were down 12 and Steph pulled up at the top of the key and drilled the 3 - u didn't say **** huh - u were probably sitting in front on ur 13" B&W TV jumpin up and down - he tried to go up 1 with the 3 and didn't make it - he made his last 3 shots from the field - he had the hot hand - so don't be playing the dude like that...
there real momentum breaker was when we down 4 and balkman had the chance to sink the 2 FTs and bring us back to down 2 - but i don't blame him for that - i think steph should have gone all the way to the basket instead of dishing it off....but anyway i'm proud those guys played with that energy in the 4th....
Where there is hope, there can be faith
Where there is faith, miracles can occur
Had they won this game the Knicks would have redeemed themselves for Saturday's home-opener fiasco. This loss has exposed the problem to the world. We have a "great!!!" supporting cast. (on the other hand Spurs showed that they have a questionable supporting cast). Who's our "Big 3." Perhaps Marbury is one of them. Look for trade talks to begin after the road trip on Saturday.
What's fustrating is that I think the starters (minus Richardson) are trying, but when it comes to defense they're out of their element. Which breeds hopelessness. They're going to have to pick up on D or it is over.
im not sayin that malik is any kind of star player...he is average but when he comes on the court he is a great defender. also i think he deserves credit hes a vet and still played hard every game for larry brown even at the end of teh season. if u remember he had some really good games and i love the pull the chair out move. he should get about 15 mins a game.
If Malik is healthy enough to go, look for Frye to come off the bench and back-up Curry. I know IT would want to start either Lee or Malik at PF but he's concerned with the Frye's value taking a dive.
Good comeback from the Knicks but they really need to start making better decisions to close out teams. They really can afford to make stupid shots since they only have one reliable rebounder. I like that Isiah went away from the starters when they weren't producing. Hopefully they'll all realize that they need to earn playing time. Collins does look like he is ready for some minutes. Hopefully Isiah will continue to let him play.

Good to see Marbury hasn't dissapointed like last time, i'm a bit concerned with Steve's situation. He has a really good season for now, and although his x-rays show negative i'm still cautious. Eddy Curry with a double-double, he had a good 2 games, Q Rich and Nate Rob - very good in this start.
It was a nice comeback in the 4th but since i didn't see the game i can't tell how much it was determination and how much the spurs slowed their tempo.

This PBS NewsHour Weekend video explains the essence of the Ig Nobel Prizes.
"The Stinker", the official mascot of the Ig Nobel Prizes.
The Ig Nobel Prizes honor achievements that make people LAUGH, and then THINK. The prizes are intended to celebrate the unusual, honor the imaginative — and spur people's interest in science, medicine, and technology.
Every September, in a gala ceremony in Harvard's Sanders Theatre, 1100 splendidly eccentric spectators watch the new winners step forward to accept their Prizes. These are physically handed out by genuinely bemused genuine Nobel Laureates. Thousands more, around the world, watch our live online broadcast.
CEREMONY: The 26th First Annual Ig Nobel Prize ceremony will happen on Thursday, September 22, 2016, at Sanders Theatre, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.
TICKETS are available exclusively from the Harvard Box Office.
LATEST NEWS: For recent bits of Ig Nobel news, see the Ig Nobel portion of our blog.
PAST CEREMONIES: The 25th First Annual Ig Nobel Prize ceremony
happened on Thursday, September 17, 2015. Videos of this and many other past ceremonies are archived on
our YouTube channel and
in the web pages devoted to each individual ceremony year.
"Last, but not least, there are the Ig Nobel awards. These come with little cash, but much cachet, and reward those research projects that 'first make people laugh, and then make them think'" — Nature
"It's like the weirdest f-ing thing that you'll ever go to... it's a collection of, like, actual Nobel Prize winners giving away prizes to real scientists for doing f'd-up things... it's awesome."— Amanda Palmer
|Find videos and other details regarding past ceremonies on our Archive page
|Stay informed about upcoming Ig Nobel events—join our private E-mail list. Please enter your E-mail address here:
Who organizes the Ig Nobel Prizes?
The Ig Nobel Prizes are organized by the magazine Annals of Improbable Research. The ceremony is co-sponsored by the Harvard-Radcliffe Society of Physics Students and the Harvard-Radcliffe Science Fiction Association. Find out about other Ignitaries and VIPs here.
Who has won this prize?
We have awarded 10 prizes each year since 1991. Our winners page contains a complete list for your perusal.
How do I find out about past years?
Our Ig Archive page collects details, videos, and links from our past ceremonies.
How do I find out about this year?
We have a page devoted to this year's ceremony.
What about the Ig Informal Lectures?
Winners are given only 60 seconds to explain themselves during the prize ceremony, so the following Saturday we give them considerably more time, plus a projector, so they can explain themselves and their research more fully, and discuss details with the audience..
Can I nominate someone for an Ig Nobel prize?
Of course! For details on how the nomination process works, please read here.
Has anyone ever turned down this award?
We try to contact chosen winners in advance, privately, to offer the prize and give them the option to decline the honor. If someone declines, we simply, privately withdraw the offer. Happily, nearly everyone who is offered an Ig Nobel Prize decides to accept, and also decides to come be part of the ceremony.
Are you ridiculing science?
No. We are honoring achievements that make people laugh, then think. Good achievements can also be odd, funny, and even absurd; So can bad achievements. A lot of good science gets attacked because of its absurdity. A lot of bad science gets revered despite its absurdity.
Are those real Nobel Laureates handing out the prizes?
Yes. At every Ig Nobel Prize ceremony, several Nobel Laureates physically hand out the prizes, and participate in the ceremony in other ways.
How can I get involved with next year's ceremony?
If you have five (5) or more tickets to the Ig Nobel ceremony, your group can choose to be an Official Audience Delegation and thus be officially celebrated during the event. To register as a Delegation, first obtain tickets from the Harvard Box Office. Then register with Grand Panjandrum of the Delegations Louise Sacco: (+1) 781-444-6757. The deadline for delegation registration is the Friday before each year's ceremony, but tickets usually sell out much sooner.
If you or your organization are comfortable publicly demonstrating both a love of science and a sense of humor, we are always happy to consider volunteers, sponsors, and supporters. For more information on this, please contact us at [email protected] or (+1) 617-491-4437.
AND you can read and respond to us via facebook, via twitter (and post with the #ignobel hashtag), our blog, and our YouTube channel.
Do you have a page collecting press coverage about the Igs?
Indeed we do! How wonderful that you asked! Our Press Clips page collects the best instances of other people talking about us.
What if I would like to read about the Ig Nobels in book format?
There are several books about the Ig Nobel Prizes and several of these have been translated into other languages.
What if I'd like to see the Ig Nobels live, but can't make it to Cambridge?
You can watch the live broadcast each year on our website, and you can watch videos of past ceremonies anytime. We present other events throughout the year and around the world that (we hope) make people laugh and then think. Find a list of our upcoming events (including the annual Ig Nobel Tour of the UK).
Is there a pattern in the prizes you have awarded?
We judge nomination based on whether first make us laugh, and then make us think. No other pattern is intended. But after so many years, it is possible that some interesting statistics and correlations exist. The company, Silk created an interactive database of Ig Nobel Prize Winners to help you with that. And 2010 Ig Nobel Management Prize winner Andrea Rapisarda, working independently in Italy, made an app of Ig Nobel Prize winners that is available for free on iTunes.

Hi Ronel
I was sent this link by Anika.
I am just over 3 weeks post C-section (22 April 2006). Our baby was delivered at a little over 25 weeks due to my development of severe PE and Hellp Syndrome.
I developed symptoms in week 22, went to the doctor and received confirmation of what we were dealing with in week 23.
After hospitalisation, we managed to keep the baby in until week 25, however, with severe liver and kidney issues, including massive amounts of fluid in my abdomen and lungs, they had no option but to deliver the baby on 22 April 2006. Weighing only 600g, he passed away on 25 April 2006.
I was released from hospital on 25 April, however, was back in with elevated liver enzymes on 28 April. Released on 30 April again. However, back in hospital on 6 May with a blood clot in the sinuses that drain blood from the brain. The doctors believe the last 2 hospital visits were still remnants of the pregnancy complications and not indicative of an autoimmune disease like APS/SLE. They however, will continue testing for Lupus / APS over the next few weeks in order to confirm.
I am trying to ascertain the risks of falling pregnant again. And I was looking for a gynae who specialises in high risk pregnancies. I live on the East Rand / Johannesburg, but I'm willing to travel anywhere to get the best treatment!
Anika said that you were exceptionally happy with your gynae. Would you recommend him? If so, could you perhaps email me? email@example.com
Kind regards
Jackie Cargen

For just the sixth time in school history, the North Central College men's cross country team achieved a perfect score at the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) Championships, sweeping the top five spots on Oct. 29 at Montrose Harbor for the dominating victory. The Cardinals have now won 38 consecutive CCIW titles in cross country and 45 overall while tallying a perfect score for the first time since 2009. North Central additionally achieved perfect scores in 2004, 1999, 1997 and 1987. More
The women's cross country team captured its third straight CCIW also on Oct. 29, outdistancing runner-up Illinois Wesleyan University by a 17-point margin. For the second straight season and sixth time overall, the Cardinals claimed the individual champion as Alicia Zimmerman (photo, left) traversed the 6,000-meter course with Krista Cota (photo, right) a close second. The duo's efforts helped the Cardinals win the CCIW title for the third straight season and seventh time overall. More

text: DD is almost 11 months old so I am trying to prepare myself for how weaning works. She is down to nursing only 3-4 times a day, and I am very ready to be done nursing so we will start cutting back at 12 months. My question is, do babies need to drink a significant amount of milk once weaned, or can they get their nutrients from solid food? She is a very good eater at this point, and eats pretty much anything we do. Right now she has 3 meals and 2 snacks everyday, plus 2 long nursing sessions and 1 or 2 quick ones. Am I supposed to give her a big cup of milk in the morning once we replace that nursing session, or is breakfast enough? I got a lot of conflicting information when I googled this, so looking for some more info. Thanks!

Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers are an American football team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin and are members of the North Division of the National Conference (NFC) in the National League and are the third-oldest franchise. The Packers are the last vestige of "small town teams" that were once common in the League during the 1920s and 1930s. Founded in 1919 by Earl "Curly" Lambeau (hence the name Lambeau Field on which the team plays) and George Whitney Calhoun, the Green Bay Packers can trace their lineage to other semi-professional teams in Green Bay dating back to 1896. In 1919 and 1920 the Packers competed as a semi-professional football team against clubs from around Wisconsin and the Midwest. They joined the American Professional Football Association (APFA) in 1921, the forerunner to what is known today as the National League. The Packers are the only non-profit, community-owned major league professional sports team in the United States. The Green Bay Packers have won twelve league championships (more than any other team in the League) including nine Championships prior to the Super Bowl era and three Super Bowl victories in 1967, 1968 and 1996. The team has a historic rivalry with the Chicago Bears, whom they have played in over 170 games. The Packers also share a fierce blood rivalry with the Minnesota Vikings, who also reside in the NFC North along with the Packers, and the Dallas Cowboys who have historically been known as the Packers' largest playoff rivals after the Packers defeated them in the famous Ice Bowl.
Green Bay Packers Founding
The Green Bay Packers were founded on August 11, 1919 by former high-school football rivals Earl "Curly" Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun. Today "Green Bay Packers" is the oldest team-name still in use in the League, both by its nickname and by virtue of remaining in its original city. On August 27, 1921, the Packers were granted a franchise in the new national pro football league that had been formed the previous year. Financial troubles plagued the team and the franchise was forfeited within the year, before Lambeau found new financial backers and regained the franchise the next year. These backers, known as the "Hungry Five", formed the Green Bay Football Corporation.
Green Bay Packers Notable seasons
Record 12 World Championships League annals show 12 World Championships, the most in the League (the next closest team is the Chicago Bears, with nine). The first three were decided by league standing, the next six by the Title Game, and the final three by Super Bowl victories. The Packers are also the only team to win three consecutive NFL titles.
Public Company
The Packers are the only non-profit, community-owned franchise in American professional sports major leagues. Typically, a team is owned by one person, partnership, or corporate entity, i.e., a "team owner." The lack of a dominant owner has been stated as one of the reasons the Green Bay Packers have never been moved from the city of Green Bay, a city of only 102,313 people as of the 2000 census. By comparison, the typical League city has a population in the millions or higher hundred-thousands. The Packers, however, have long had a large following throughout Wisconsin and parts of the Midwest; in fact, for decades, the Packers played four (one pre-season, three regular-season) home games each year in Milwaukee, first at the State Fair Park fairgrounds, then at Milwaukee County Stadium. The Packers did not move their entire home schedule to Green Bay until 1995.
Green Bay Packers Foundation
The team created the Green Bay Packers Foundation in December 1986. The foundation assists in a wide variety of activities and programs that benefit education, civic affairs, health services, human services and youth-related programs.
Green Bay Packers Fan base
The Packers' fan base is famously dedicated: regardless of the team's performance, every Packers game at Lambeau Field has been sold out since 1960. Despite the Packers having by far the smallest local TV market, the Packers have developed one of the largest fan bases in the League. Each year they consistently rank as one of the top teams in terms of popularity. The Packers have one of the longest waiting lists for season tickets in professional sports with about 74,000 people as of May 3, 2007. In 2008 the list grew by more than 4,000 names. There are now more names on the waiting list than there are seats at Lambeau Field. The average wait time for season tickets is said to be over 30 years; yet if a name were to be added to the list today, the estimated wait could extend well over 100 years. For this reason, it is not unusual for fans to designate a recipient of their season tickets in their wills or place newborn infants on the waiting list after receiving birth certificates.
Green Bay Packers traditions
Packers fans are often referred to as "cheeseheads". The term is often used to refer to people from the state of Wisconsin in general (because of its cheese production), but is also used to refer to Green Bay Packers fans in particular. The name originated in 1987 as an insult from Chicago White Sox fans at a Milwaukee Brewers game. In years since and particularly beginning in 1994, the name and the hats called "cheeseheads" have also been embraced by Packers fans. During training camp in the summer months, young Packers fans can take their bikes and have their favorite player ride their bike to the practice field from the locker room. This is an old Packers tradition dating back to approximately 1957 (the first years of Lambeau Field's existence). Gary Knafelc, a Packers end at the time, said, "I think it was just that kids wanted us to ride their bikes. I can remember kids saying, 'Hey, ride my bike.'" The practice continues today. In August 2008, ESPN.com ranked the Packers as having the second-best fans in the League. The team initially finished tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers (who finished ahead of the Packers) as having the best fans, but the tie was broken by ESPN's own John Clayton, a Pittsburgh native.
Green Bay Packers Team Bedding.
Bedding sets (typically consisting of a sheet, a pillow case and a blanket cover) come in colors, design patterns, hobby or special interest-focused designs, using sports team logos, player images and other designs reminding the sleeper of their favorite teams, sports, hobbies or joys in life.
Beddings are available in sizes to fit most popular beds used in homes. We have bedding sets to fit bunk beds, futons, twin beds, double beds, queen and king sized beds. Bedding sets are most commonly made of materials that feel comfortable and are easily washable, lasting a long time. Usually the materials are a blend of Cotton and Polyester, except for throws and blankets which are usually made of a blend of Polyester and Acrylic or Rayon for softness and warmth. Many blankets are made with a faux suede fabric to become soft and fluffy. The bedding colors are fast and will stay bright for many wash cycles, unless washed in too hot water, bleached too many times or dried in too high heat.
Bedding for kids of all ages become the vehicle for one's dreams and beddings displaying a familiar image or reminding us of a favorite activity, will likely become part of our dreams for the night.
Images seen just prior to falling asleep have a strong influence on our dreams for the night, especially if related to our favorite sports or activities. As a result the best selling items from Sports Kids are beddings with designs of the teams for all the major sports that are enjoyed by kids of all ages. Bedding sets are available with licensed designs and logos of the Green Bay Packers Team.
When looking for a gift for your favorite sports enthusiast, kids of all ages, you will not find anything more appreciated or used more frequently than beddings with logos and designs of ones favorite Green Bay Packers Team.

No one was seriously hurt when a helicopter crash landed in downtown Honolulu Wednesday.
Just before 3:30 p.m., a Robinson R22 Beta helicopter dropped down in a field of high rises between the Kukui Plaza Mall and the Central Fire Station and onto Fort Street.
"I was scared," said Kevin Morrissey. "I actually thought that it might hit the building we were in because it was coming so fast and so low. You could tell it lost power very rapidly and it just dipped and it was amazing that the guy controlled it enough to get it in the street."
Patti Hookano had just left Longs Drugs Store and was driving on Fort Street, "It was like i was watching a movie because it literally just came down in front of my car."
"And then it started to skid forward, probably about the length of this road and then it ended up hitting a car at the end of this road and spinning out," said Generie Garcia.
Shortly after, witnesses said the 30-year-old female pilot helped her 71-year-old male passenger out of the chopper. Both refused medical treatment.
"He did have a small laceration to his head, but again neither one of them is going to the hospital today," said Shayne Enright of Honolulu Emergency Services. "Very, very fortunate that nobody else on the streets was injured."
The two were up on a photo shoot above Punchbowl when firefighters said the helicopter suffered mechanical problems, causing it to come down.
Captain Terry Seelig said, "There are parts of the helicopter that are strewn as well as the fuel of the helicopter that has leaked out."

The cleanup and investigation forced police to shut down several downtown streets in the middle of rush hour.
The helicopter was taken away around 6:30 p.m.
The chopper belongs to Mauna Loa Helicopters and they were unavailable for comment.
Records show the chopper received its Federal Aviation Administration certificate in February and was good until 2016.

Pensions hold fire on matching assets
Special Report: Fund management quarterly: focus on regulation
The market for liability-driven investment, strategies that invest pension funds' money so that it matches their expected payments, is in flux as 2012 draws to a close.
Unusual bond market conditions – such as the flight to safety and quantitative easing – have put pension funds' strategies on hold and fund managers' business expansion plans with them. But only for the time being.
The UK's £1 trillion private-sector pension fund sector is where LDI has been pioneered in the past decade. Over £300bn is now managed this way, according to the most recent market survey from consultancy KPMG.
Over 85% of the total is managed by just three firms, Insight Investment, BlackRock and Legal & General Investment Management, and most of the rest is with two others, F&C Asset Management and Schroders.
But newer entrants are trying to break in (see below), including Axa Investment Management, which has hired Shalin Bhagwan from LGIM.
After years of talking about the same three firms, investment consultants, who help pick LDI managers for their pension fund clients, are now able to present fuller shortlists of providers.
Pat Race, UK head of investment consulting at Mercer, said: "The LDI market is more interesting right now than it has been for a while. A lot of my clients have historically clustered to the larger, more established and resourced players. But there is increasing interest in less well-established managers who offer execution-only LDI mandates."
-- Competition
Rather than offering full LDI services that take care of decisions such as when to hedge and what instruments to use – whether to invest in physical gilts or the swap contracts based on them, for example – smaller players have built teams to liaise with consultants and implement these strategies with their input.
Race said: "What I saw a lot of clients doing initially is [asking for] active management of their hedges in interest rates and inflation. The manager would hedge a little bit more or less depending on the market. But as clients, particularly large and sophisticated clients, get more familiar with LDI they have started calling these things better.
"They set up special committees that meet monthly or even more frequently; they decide what instruments they want, with advice from their consultants. This service needs a different type of manager – an execution-only manager."
This is a niche in the market that Schroders and F&C are well-placed to fill; managing and transacting a portfolio, but with less discretion and a corresponding reduction in fees. Consultants can recommend these services without writing themselves out of the picture entirely.
John McLaughlin, head of portfolio solutions at Schroders, said about a third of his firm's £10bn in LDI mandates is managed in this way. But another third is in mandates that also involve managing growth assets as well as liability-matching ones, a service that approaches the all-in pension-fund investment services offered by fiduciary managers such as Cardano, which also displace consultants.
McLaughlin said: "These are both fast-growing businesses for us. We have had to learn to work with consultants in a new way – in some instances we compete with them, in others we co-operate with them." But all LDI managers have a common problem, which is that current market conditions are discouraging pension trustees from extending their hedges at all.
-- LDI 'paralysis'
Thanks to a flight to safety that is still influencing the UK government debt market, coupled with the effects of the Bank of England's gilt-buying under its quantitative easing policy, the prices of gilts are at historic highs and the yields are therefore at record lows. LDI managers report that pension trustees are loath to hedge in such conditions, believing bond markets can only get cheaper.
The marketing message from LDI firms is clear, however: there is no need for paralysis.
Market participants already expect interest rates and bond yields to rise in the years ahead, and this is priced in. In a trustee workshop during the National Association of Pension Funds' conference in October, Axa Investment Management, one of the new entrants, pointed out that while interest-rate swaps today pay 0.5% a year, 30-year interest-rate swaps pay 2.9%.
Simeon Willis, a principal consultant in KPMG's pensions advisory department, said: "If you think interest rates will rise in the future, that is no reason not to hedge. If you think interest rates will rise in the future by more than the market is currently expecting, that could be a reason not to hedge. But that is quite a big call."
There are, however, also other factors contributing to the delay in pension schemes' liability-hedging activity.
Willis said: "One of the biggest issues right now is the Office for National Statistics' consultation on changing the way that the retail prices index is calculated. Most schemes' inflation-linkage references RPI and the ONS is considering bringing it closer to the alternative consumer prices index, which is generally about 1% a year lower.
"If they do change it, this would mean a pension scheme's RPI-linked liabilities would step down and funding should improve. But there is uncertainty about the outcome. It looks unlikely they will leave RPI as it is, but it's not clear it will move fully into line with CPI.
"The market for RPI-linked securities has come down about 0.5 percentage points in anticipation, but if you think it's likely the authorities will move RPI fully into line with CPI, you could wait to hedge inflation until you can hedge at a rate that's 0.5 points cheaper still."
-- If you liked Insight and BlackRock, why not try...?
A number of fund managers are trying to break the stranglehold that the "big three" and the "other two" have on the UK's pensions LDI market. These include Axa Investment Managers, BNP Paribas Investment Partners, Ignis Asset Management, Pimco, Pramerica, and State Street Global Advisers.
Ignis Asset Management is offering a service more tailored to a pension scheme's particular liabilities. Where a conventional pooled LDI mandate might invest in several buckets of debt securities, one full of bonds maturing in 2020 and one full of bonds maturing in 2025, 2030 and so on, Ignis's service offers to match cashflows precisely to the year.
Helen Farrow, director of fixed-income sales at Ignis, said: "At the simplest level, we can hedge the one-year interest rate starting in four years' time, by buying a five-year bond and selling a four-year bond."
Derek Steeden, an LDI strategist at Ignis, said this enabled the manager to hedge different future rates whenever they were best-priced in the market.
Others have their own answers to the tricky market conditions. Pat Race, UK head of investment consulting at Mercer, said: "There is an interesting trend towards building corporate bond portfolios in the short term – removing pretty much all other 'growth assets' – and moving to duration-matched government bonds as a second step. I have got clients who have set up triggers to move very rapidly through this structure."
Pramerica Fixed Income is one fund manager already profiting from this approach, according to Gary Knapp, its managing director for insurance and liability-driven strategies. Pramerica manages $8.7bn in corporate bonds, including such long-duration "buy and maintain" mandates.
He said: "LDI is much more a corporate-bonds strategy among US pension plans because they do not have the compulsory inflation linkage that UK plans do. We have a lot of money managed this way in the US, but are increasingly seeing interest in the UK too."

Cundiff hoping for another playoff shot
SF signed kicker for playoff games
There's no questioning how badly Billy Cundiff wants another chance in the playoffs after the way last season ended.
Cundiff and the Baltimore Ravens stayed home after he missed a potential tying 32-yard field goal in the closing seconds of the AFC championship game and New England went to the Super Bowl last season instead.
These days, Cundiff has no qualms discussing his greatest career disappointment. He hopes to soon make a new impression on the NFL's postseason -- succeeding as San Francisco's starting kicker.
While coach Jim Harbaugh has yet to name Cundiff or incumbent David Akers the top guy for Saturday's NFC divisional playoff game against Green Bay, Cundiff is preparing as if he will play.

It's sometimes tough to navigate the healthcare system. It's hard to find a compatible primary provider. Insurance choices are confusing. Hospitals are intimidating. Being sick is scary. But when it comes to your health, you're your own best advocate, so you need to take charge.
Here are five fast facts to help you make the best and appropriate choices to improve your health.
1. The experts can't fix everything.
The healthcare system (drugs, providers, and hospitals) affects only about 10% of our health. The remaining 90% of health outcomes is determined by factors over which healthcare providers have little or no control, such as lifestyle choices, social conditions, and the physical environment.
In other words, it's about what you eat and how you deal with stress. It's about choosing to be physically active. Take steps to enhance your own wellbeing and you'll be healthier than if you rely entirely on the healthcare system.
2. Your pockets just aren't that deep.
No one's are! Read the headlines: The cost of healthcare and health insurance is rising rapidly. You have probably seen your premiums and out-of-pocket expenses for clinic visits and prescriptions climbing.
Some of the increases are due to choices. Lifestyle-related diseases, such as Type II diabetes caused by obesity, are increasing and driving up costs. The leading causes of disease and death in the United States are due to our behaviors: tobacco use, poor diet, physical inactivity, and alcohol abuse.
As healthcare costs skyrocket, the ability of many people to obtain healthcare is compromised. Approximately 43 million Americans don't have any health insurance at all.
It doesn't help anyone to argue about who is driving up healthcare costs, and what they should do about it. By taking charge of your own health, you can help reduce healthcare costs.
3. The healthcare system isn't perfect.
Medical errors can have severe consequences, so you want to do what you can to minimize mistakes.
For example, if you switch providers, you need to make sure that your new doctor or nurse practitioner has all your health records and the information they need to provide safe and effective care.
If you or someone you love goes into hospital, you need to pay attention—are you receiving the correct medication? Have you verified that the correct procedure will be performed before you undergo anesthesia? Are caregivers washing their hands and wearing their gloves?
In addition, health insurance can be complicated, so it is essential to be find out what is covered before you visit a clinic or hospital to avoid unexpected bills.
4. You deserve satisfaction.
Are you pleased with your healthcare? Many Americans aren't. They don't feel listened to. They feel rushed. No one offers them a chance to ask questions. This is not surprising given that doctor visits are often less than 15 minutes. However, healthcare is something you pay for. Face it: would you keep patronizing a mechanic or hairdresser or restaurant if you weren't happy with the service?
Of course healthcare is not exactly the same as these services. But it's okay to want to ask questions, express doubt, and really communicate with your healthcare provider. Taking charge of your healthcare will reduce dissatisfaction.
For example, finding good health information can empower you to make better decisions. And if you deliberately choose a provider you trust and take pains to communicate effectively, you will likely experience many benefits.
5. You need to explore all your options.
While our current system excels at treating acute infectious disease and responding to trauma, it is not always as effective in providing preventive healthcare or helping people deal with chronic disease.
Integrative therapies often excel in these areas, as research shows. Therapies and practices such as guided imagery, biofeedback, or meditation can help reduce the negative impact of stress. Massage can help people relax. Acupuncture is recognized by the National Institutes of Health as effective for postoperative and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting and chronic pain.
These are just a few examples. Whether you want to improve your health or expand your treatment options, complementary therapies often offer safe and effective choices.
In summary
You are the one who can make the biggest impact on your own health. To maintain or improve your health, you not only need to make good lifestyle choices--you need to get the best healthcare you can.
So think about what you want in your healthcare and go for it. Become intentional, informed, and involved. You will undoubtedly see some personal health benefits. You will also be doing your part to make a better healthcare system for everyone.
Grab the wheel and start navigating!

Hello all. DS is 14 months and I am looking for more ideas for his lunches and dinners. He used to eat tofu cubes on a regular basis, but recently decided that he doesn't like them anymore (no matter how well I think I have disguised them). Has anyone tried Tofu Pups? Do they taste like tofu, or do they have more or a "hot dog" flavor? I don't want to give him real hot dogs because of the nitrates, etc, but I thought the Tofu Pups might be a healthier alternative.
Also, can you freeze them?
Thank you!

if tongue-tie and a drug-free birth are not an issue?
20 months usually 5 times a day ---------- Enjoy
Wife to my DH, Ryan
First time mom to DS born at home on 7/25/10
just being new to it, need time to learn how, to develop muscles
mom needs time to learn too, once she gets better she can encourage the baby to latch better, do compressions, keep baby awake etc
small mouth when they are so little
how old?
Also- poor suck/swallow coordination, a recessed jaw, a cleft palate, sleepiness...
Issues like Down Syndrome or oth chromosomal issues. May I ask why you are asking.
Mommy to Maxwell 10-9-07 weaned with love (a party and a remote control monster truck) on his 4th birthday
My Boy 3-16-10

Watch Your Language
I'd be curious too, I've experienced this for a couple days last week and today a bit. I have lots of overactive letdown and oversupply though so I think her latch is kind of being affected by that though as things change for me. I'm trying to balance it out and I think my physical changes may be affecting her?
My second had a "disorganized suck" -- couldn't coordinate sucking and swallowing. He also had a somewhat small mouth and somewhat recessed chin. One of the bigger issues, though, seemed to be that his parietal bones (sides of the skull) continued to overlap his forehead well after birth. We started taking him to a chiropractor at about eight weeks, and she massaged his head and showed me how to do so. We actually saw dramatic improvements in his sucking after just one visit. It was remarkable (and quite surprising to me--I hadn't known why I was going, but the LC said my son's problems were too big for her and recommended it.) He had no tongue tie, and his birth was drug free, full-term. There can certainly be lots of other reasons, but that was our personal experience with the matter.
I breast milk fed my Blossom for fifteen months (after exclusively pumping for thirteen). My Bud (nineteen months) is still nursing directly (after a rough start that included a few months of pumping and supplementing with mommy's milk).
TwoDewdrops: Nursing Dresses and Tops for Discreet Breastfeeding (and Pumping)
I had problems with my LO's sucking in the beginning. I believe i was producing enough but his weak suck didnt make milk removal easy. My midwife/LC suggested i start pumping and supplementing via SNS by the time he was 3 months due weight loss. He is 11 months now and is doing great. I'm asking because i DON'T want to go through this again, including all these months of pumping. He takes the boob much better now and his sucking has improved. Till this day i dont know what or who caused all this: me? the baby? do i have PCOS? would my previous anemia have to do anything with it (if i still have it)? poor latch? Insufficient Mammary gland? Hypoplastic breasts? Losing a lot of blood after birth? His sleepiness when he was a newborn? I've tried to figure it out but i could go crazy in doing so. I just want info and if i have another one, i'll do some tests to make sure if there's something wrong with me.

I've worked with several moms with hypoplastic breasts, and they never made enough.
Some babies have weak sucks. For all the reasons listed by PP. it probably wasn't you. The things you listed don't cause baby to have a weak suck, other than being sleepy; they more impact your supply.
But a baby with a weak suck would impact supply because they don't remove enough milk to stimulate supply.

54-29-11 (.633) mark over past five seasons
INDIANOLA—Central College needed just six minutes to capture a 1-0 Iowa Conference women's soccer win against Simpson College Wednesday evening.
The Dutch wasted no time after the opening whistle, packing players into Simpson's box with a corner kick in the third minute. Just two minutes later forward Brittany Hinton (sophomore, Davenport, West HS) netted the gamewinner three yards out off a cross from midfielder Molly Potts (junior, Pleasant Hill, Southeast Polk HS).
"We took it down the left side and Molly sent in a nice ball to Brittany across the box and she (Hinton) tapped it in," coach Mike Kobylinski said.
Central outshot the Storm 4-2 in the first half and held off a second-half Simpson assault that tallied 15 shots. The Storm had a 6-4 shots on goal advantage for the match.
"Simpson threw everything at us in the second half," Kobylinski said. "They made it difficult for us but we "weathered the storm" so to speak and came out on top. It was a total team effort, from goalie up to the strikers."
Goalkeeper Steph Hasken (senior, Davenport, West HS) secured her fifth shutout with six saves in 90 minutes.
"Steph's a rock for us back there and she made good saves again," Kobylinski said. "It's exciting for her and the team to get another shutout."
Kobylinski also credited the back line and noted defender Jackie Bell (sophomore, Johnston, Dowling Catholic HS), who made her first start of the season.
"The whole back line played solid," he said. "And I thought Jackie had an excellent second half and did well the whole game. That's what makes a team--having another player that can step in."
The Dutch, who last won against Simpson in 1999, improved to 9-4-1 overall and 2-1-1 in the league. Simpson dropped to 7-6 with a 1-3 conference mark.
Central takes on Buena Vista University Saturday at 1 p.m. at the A.N. Kuyper Athletics Complex soccer field. The Dutch seniors will be recognized before the start of the match.
"We have to keep moving forward and with efforts like tonight's we will."

Assorted delights
Sweet dining locations for those in love on Valentine's Day
By Dan O'Heron 02/07/2013
Simple gifts on Valentine's Day, like roses, cards and candies, are fine for friendship keeping. But love in the making sometimes comes at a dearer price. Here are some lavish dining-out tips, where the cooing might be worth the billing:
A typical phone message taken by the host at Bistro 45 (45 S. Mentor Ave., Pasadena, 626/795-2478) might go like this: "I'd like to make reservations for a proposal for two."
The invitation will follow a $70-per-person, five-course dinner beginning with flirtatious servings of both a white shrimp mojito cocktail with tantalizing avocado/wasabi sorbet and a house-cured Scottish salmon "cookie" with parsnip.
Course two and three consist of Thai basil consommé, with ricotta/wonton raviolis, steamed arctic cod over diced fennel and tomato confit and oven-dried pancetta bacon, plus micro greens.
These are followed by a mignon of prime natural beef tenderloin with seared mushroom preparation, sweet butternut squash and a beet/Madeira jus.
With shimmering live music wafting through the newly remodeled dining room, dessert is a glowing hot raspberry gelee, capped off by a sparkling Anna de Cordonio brut rose cava.
Considering what might be in store for the rest of the evening, the money spent on the event should yield a valuable return.
Another place for fools in love to put dollars to wise use is Green Street Restaurant (146 Shoppers Lane, Pasadena, 626/577-7170). Arguably the best price in town — likely from $25 to $30 per person — the three-course dinner is expected to feature one course with the popular New York steak Dianne salad combo.
The restaurant, which will celebrate Valentine's Day on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, has a long history of indulging fantasies. "Since we opened in 1979," said partner Bob Harrison, "we get letters from people who tell us that not long after they dated here, they married. One couple wrote that they closed the place before making the decision." A perfect setting for long declarations of love and bended-knee pleas for reciprocation, the restaurant has a carpet.
Movie producer Gale Anne Hurd sets the stage for a romantic adventure at the restaurant she owns, Vertical Wine Bistro (70 N. Raymond Ave., Pasadena, 626/795-3999). Most fine restaurants will have a star or two on their Valentine's menus; but here, a constellation of choices breaks loose. The first course is one of four entries: Lobster bisque. pears and Roquefort on Boston lettuce (sweet and succulent butterhead), pebbled with hazelnuts; sea scallops with granular Israeli couscous salad, or a nectarine, arugula and burrata salad, with citrus/honey dressing. They are paired with a French 2009 Les Hospices Sancerre Blanc.
Four choices in the second course include roasted lamb shank with wild mushrooms and green garlic; filet mignon, grilled and seared with slightly pungent Gorgonzola au gratin potatoes, asparagus and a rich bordelaise sauce; pan-seared California salmon with roasted pasilla (rich, medium-hot chili), or wide-bodied pappardelle noodles with artichokes, spinach, pine nuts and Thai basil. As a matchmaking win, fragrant Italian 2009 Zenato Ripassa Valpolicella is poured.
Desserts include a red almond meringue with red velvet gelato, Italian-marinated chocolate berries, or a tray of international artisanal cheeses. These are paired with an elegant French 2007 Chateau Piquey Sauterne. Prepared by James Beard Award nominee Laurent Quenioux, the dinners are priced at $59 per person, plus $27 per person for marriageable wines.
Without a date, I had planned to skip Valentine's Day next week and eat my heart out on Fat Tuesday, then go to the theater to celebrate Lincoln's birthday. That was before I checked the menu at Sushi Roku (33 Miller Alley, Pasadena, 626/683-3000). For $85 per couple, the four-course dinner includes a minty shiso mixed panko-crusted lamb. I'm sure I could coax some young lady to sit next to me if she saw me drinking a $12 "adult milk shake." It contains cognac, Chambord, two scoops of vanilla ice cream — with the rim of snifter dipped in chocolate and almonds — and, suggestively, comes with two straws.
McCormick & Schmick's (191 N. Los Robles Ave., Pasadena, 626/405-0064) should pack 'em in with a $39.95-per-person steak and lobster combo. When making reservations, for an extra amount, you can ask to have your table set with roses.
If you are having a children's party at home, drop in at Auntie Em's Kitchen (4616 Eagle Rock Blvd., Eagle Rock, 323/255-0800). You'll come away with treats that would make up for a previous Valentine's Day disappointment like one that I had when I was just a boy.
It came in grade school, when the drill was for me to cut out a heart from red craft paper, and exchange it for one from the girl sitting next to me — even though there was no love lost between us. I mean, we weren't enemies. We just didn't like each other. I felt little scissors would be better used making red paper gliders.
We surely would have both loved each other — and the teacher — if, instead of dull little scissors she would have given each of us one of Auntie Em's "Burning Love" spicy chipotle chocolate cupcakes ($3.50 each), or a mini raspberry and blackberry Bundt cake to share ($5.95).
At the risk of sounding overly sentimental, I should remind you that chocolate contains phenyl ethylamine, a substance that supposedly stimulates the same hormonal reaction as falling in love. It even beats deer antler spray.

If you receive more than a few email messages a day, you've probably
discovered that it becomes increasingly difficult to sort and
prioritize your email. Messages you want to read immediately can get lost in a sea of less-important messages. Worse, your inbox can become cluttered with spam, virus-infected messages, and other disagreeables. Fortunately, the
procmail program has been designed to help you sort through this mess.
By creating your own customized "recipes," you can organize the messages you do want to receive and deal with the messages you don't want to receive.
In today's article, I'll build and configure
procmail and get you
started on a few basic recipes. In next week's article, I'll continue
with some more complicated recipes and look at
procmail's logging
To install
procmail, become the superuser and build the port:
cd /usr/ports/mail/procmail
make install clean
When you build this port, it will give you some informative messages and require you to press enter to continue the build. The first message is regarding a locking test; I just pressed enter to accept the default directories:
In order for the kernel-locking tests to work as intended I have to be able to test-lock files on as many semantically different filesystems as possible (for more information about this, READ PARAGRAPH TWO in INSTALL). To suppress this prompt you can set the LOCKINGTEST variable in the Makefile.
Please add writable directories to the list. You should only
add directories that reside on filesystems that have unique
characteristics. E.g. if you have several remote NFS partitions,
pick some unique client-server pairs, there is little use in
picking the same server twice from the same client-machine.
An excellent candidate would be a remotely mounted mail spool
I will temporarily use a testdirectory named _locktest in the following directories:
/tmp .
If you would like to add any, please specify them below,
press return to continue:
The build also reminds you that you can integrate
procmail into your mail delivery system, such as "sendmail." Since I'm building
procmail on a single-user system I won't bother. If you'd like to investigate this possiblility, read the file
/usr/local/share/examples/procmail/advanced once you've finished your build.
If you are a system administrator you should consider integrating
procmail into the mail-delivery system -- for advanced functionality, speed AND SECURITY --. For more information about this topic you should look in the examples/advanced file.
This port has installed the following binaries which execute with
increased privileges.
1142851 132 -rwsr-xr-x 1 root wheel 66612
Nov 27 13:27 /usr/local/bin/procmail
If there are vulnerabilities in these programs there may be a
security risk to the system. FreeBSD makes no guarantee about
the security of ports included in the Ports Collection. Please
type 'make deinstall' to deinstall the port if this is a concern.
For more information, and contact details about the security
status of this software, see the following webpage:
And finally, we receive a security note, as
procmail is installed with setuid permissions. You'll be reminded of this when you read your security output tomorrow (see Understanding the Automatons Part 2). We should also check to see if there are any SAs on
procmail due to the setuid, and there is one: FreeBSD-SA-01:60.procmail.asc. If you read that SA,
you'll see that you shouldn't run a
procmail version lower than 3.20, as that version addressed the vulnerability. I'll double-check what version of
procmail I just built:
procmail -v
procmail v3.22 2001/09/10

So far, so good. Let's take a quick look at what we can expect out of this port we just built:
more /usr/local/share/doc/procmail/README
Can be used to create mail-servers, mailing lists, sort your incoming mail into separate folders/files (real convenient when subscribing to one or more mailing lists or for prioritising your mail), preprocess your mail, start any programs upon mail arrival (e.g. to generate different chimes on your workstation for different types of mail) or selectively forward certain incoming mail automatically to someone.
Procmail can be used:
- and installed by an unprivileged user (for himself only).
- as a drop in replacement for the local delivery agent /bin/mail (with biff/comsat support).
- as a general mailfilter for whole groups of messages (e.g. when called from within sendmail.cf rules).
The accompanying formail program enables you to generate autoreplies, split up digests/mailboxes into the original messages, do some very simple header-munging/extraction, or force mail into mail-format (with leading From
Let's start off simple and configure
procmail for one user. Once
finished building the actual port, you can leave the superuser account.
I'll be working as the regular user "genisis" and will set up that
procmail configuration. I'll start by entering my home directory and
copying over the example configuration files:
cp /usr/local/share/examples/procmail/forward ~/.forward
cp /usr/local/share/examples/procmail/1procmailrc ~/.procmailrc
I'll then reset the permissions on those files:
chmod 644 ~/.forward
chmod 644 ~/.procmailrc
Since I use the
fetchmail program to regularly poll my ISP's mail
to check for new mail, I'll kill the
fetchmail process until I'm
finished configuring
killall fetchmail
procmail utility reads a configuration file known as
procmailrc. The superuser can create a global configuration file in
/usr/local/etc/procmail that will affect all users on that system. However, it is recommended that each user instead create their own
.procmailrc in their home directory. This way, users can create their own filtering recipes without affecting any other users.

Programming Internet Email
.procmailrc file has two sections. The first section contains your
path and environment variables; the second section contains your filtering recipes. Once you've copied the default
.procmailrc into your home directory, immediately edit the first section before you try to download any email. I'll open up my
.procmailrc with my favorite text editor to demonstrate:
# Please check if all the paths in PATH are reachable,
# remove the ones that are not.
FreeBSD doesn't have a
/usr/ucb, so remove that bit, along with the extra colon, so the line looks like this:
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail # You'd better make sure it exists
Because I use
pine, my mail goes to a directory called
M to a small
m. If you don't use
pine as your email reader, do an
ls -F of your home directory. Somewhere in the output you should have a directory where you store your email; it is usually called
ls of that directory, you should be able to recognize your mail folders (e.g.
saved, etc.) It is very important that your
MAILDIR line reflects the correct directory.
The next three environment variables can be left as is. The
DEFAULT variable tells
procmail to create a directory called
mbox, where it will store all messages that don't match any of your recipes. The
LOGFILE variable creates a directory called
from, where your
procmail logs will be stored.
After the environment variables is the section containing some sample recipes:
:0 # Anything from thf
* ^firstname.lastname@example.com
todd # will go to $MAILDIR/todd
:0 # Anything from people at uunet
* ^From.*@uunet
uunetbox # will go to $MAILDIR/uunetbox
:0 # Anything from Henry
* ^From.*henry
henries # will go to $MAILDIR/henries
# Anything that has not been delivered by now will go
# to $DEFAULT using LOCKFILE=$DEFAULT$LOCKEXT
Once you've edited your path and environment variables, the
procmail utility has enough information to run correctly; until you customize those recipes, it will simply place all of your email in a folder called
mbox. For now, I'll remove the sample recipes. I'll also test to make sure that I haven't broken anything by restarting
fetchmail and opening up
pine. I notice that I have a new folder in my folder list called
mbox, and after a few moments, there's some new mail in it. So far so good.
Now the fun part begins, as I devise recipes to organize my email. I'll start by taking a look at the mailing lists I'm subscribed to, as they represent the biggest chunk of my email. I'm subscribed to freebsd questions, several mailing lists from securityfocus.com, and the Internet drafts list. So I'll start by making three recipes to sort those three general topics.
Every recipe has the same basic syntax and requires a minimum of three lines. The recipe can be as simple or as complicated as you want to make it; there is no right or wrong way to create a recipe, as long as it follows the correct syntax and gets the job done. Let's start by looking at that three line syntax:
:0 #first line
* #second line
file #third line
You'll note that comments are allowed (and recommended, so you remember
why you created that recipe) and are indicated by a
The first line indicates the beginning of a recipe and is easy for me to remember, as it sort of looks like my expression when I'm in the kitchen. You'll sometimes see more characters in the first line if someone is doing something a bit more complicated, but we'll save complicated for later.
The second line is the condition. In simple recipes, it will start with
* and go on from there; this is the part of the recipe that can be as complicated as you want. You can also make as many conditions as you
want in a recipe.
The third line is the action, which usually means the folder in which you want
procmail to put the email message that met your condition.
Now, let's translate all this into three recipes to organize my mailing
lists. Recipes to sort mailing lists are the simplest to create, as we
can use
procmail's built-in
^TO_ expression. This expression will scan the To: and Cc: lines of an email message's header. This is ideal for finding mailing lists, as a person either sends a message "to" the mailing list, or they reply to the original posting, which will send a "cc" back to the mailing list.
Before I create the actual recipes, it's helpful to know what
does when it reads my recipes. By default, it will scan the headers of
incoming email messages for the conditions I've created in my recipes.
And, by default, it will stop reading when it finds a matching
This means that order is important for two reasons. One,
work much faster if I put the recipes that will generate the most
at the top of the recipe section; for example, most of my email comes
the freebsd questions mailing list, so that recipe should be near the
Second, if I want a recipe that scans for virii, it should be placed
before any other recipes, so it will scan every message as it arrives.
One last thing before creating those recipes: since
procmail scans
headers by default and most of your recipes will reflect this, it is
helpful to understand what an email header is and what type of
information one
would expect to see in the various header fields. If you're rusty on
subject, there is an excellent tutorial here.
Okay, on with the first three recipes. Since most of my messages come from freebsd questions, followed by the security lists, followed by the Internet drafts, my recipes look like this:
:0 # Anything from firstname.lastname@example.com
* ^firstname.lastname@example.com
questions # will go to $MAILDIR/questions
:0 # Anything from a security mailing list
* ^TO_*security
security # will go to $MAILDIR/security
:0 # Anything regarding Internet drafts
* ^TO_*ietf
drafts # will go to $MAILDIR/drafts
I've used the same logic in each of the recipes. The only semi-complicated bit is the syntax of that expression in the condition line; it should look like this:
and be immediately followed by the expression you want
procmail to
search for in the To: or Cc: fields of a message's header. When you're
your own recipes, take a look at those fields in your email messages
look for the common expression. For example, if I had told the first
recipe to
search for the expression "freebsd" instead of "email@example.com,"
would catch all messages from any freebsd mailing list (e.g. newbies,
security, etc.). I was a bit more particular and specified that I just
it to catch messages from the questions list at freebsd.org.
I kept my second recipe more general. It actually catches every message from "securityfocus.com," "firstname.lastname@example.com," and even my daily security output, since they all share the common expression "security." This way any email that is security-related will be placed into a common folder, which is what I wanted.
For the Internet drafts, I noticed that they always came from ietf.org. Since the expression ietf is fairly unique, I used that as my condition.
Each action specifies a folder for the messages to be placed in. The
procmail utility automagically created the folders questions,
and drafts for me the first time it came across a message that required
that action. Any message that didn't match those three recipes was put
in the
default folder of
mbox. This is handy when you're creating your
recipes, as you'll be able to see which messages don't match a recipe and see if
there is a need to lump them together and create a recipe to do that
There're a few other recipes you may want to include to get you started.
The first is out of
man procmailex and deals with duplicate messages. It should be the very first recipe, and looks like this:
:0 Whc: msgid.lock
| formail -D 8192 msgid.cache #prevent duplicate messages
:0 a:
duplicates #but store them instead of deleting them
This variant of the recipe will send all duplicate messages to a folder
duplicates. That manpage also gives an alternate recipe that
will instead delete any duplicate messages, but also warns that you might
lose other email messages if you have a scripting issue in a complicated
recipe. You may want to stick with the above recipe until you reach
procmail guru status.
The last recipe I'll demonstrate today is an example of a virus-scanning recipe. The week I wrote this article, the "Badtrans" virus was rampant and was becoming a bit of an irritation. I borrowed the following recipe from the freebsd questions mailing list and placed it right below my duplicate recipe:
# Stupid BadTrans virus
* ^From: .+ \<_.*\>$
* ^From: _.+ \(.+\)$
This is an example of a more complicated expression. Don't despair if
you don't understand the expressions in those condition lines; the
important thing is that this recipe works. Remember, when you want to
create a recipe, you don't have to reinvent the wheel. There's a good
chance that someone else has already created a recipe that does what you want
to do. This is especially true when new virii are released, as
procmail users
will post their recipes to the
procmail mailing list. You can search for those
recipes here.
If I do a search for "badtrans," I'll come across several recipes which vary in their complexity, but which all get the job done.
This should get you started on using
procmail. In the next article, we'll look at some more complicated expressions you can use in your recipes and also take a look at
procmail's logging statistics.

Through funding by the Department of Energy's Geothermal Technologies Office (GTO), the nation's first commercial-scale EGS was brought online in April, connecting tomorrow's technology to the U.S. electrical grid today and setting the stage for future growth of geothermal power. DOE investments deliver cutting edge pathways for EGS, a technology that helps reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions and diversify our energy economy. GTO focuses on developing technologies where no natural hydrothermal system or geothermal infrastructure exists. Today DOE funds five active EGS demonstrations and several lab-scale research projects to help achieve this potential. Two of these demonstrations have reached milestones in accelerating the adoption of geothermal energy.

More Levies?
Dear Editor,
I have been reading letters to the editor and everyone is needing more financial help. There are levies on the ballot for schools, libraries, fire departments, etc.
Has anyone checked their statements from the County Treasurer? The schools get 54.07 percent of our tax money, and the county only gets 24.78 percent of our taxes. That leaves very little for township and county. Where is this money supposed to come from? I agree that schools lost money when the Power Plant closed but that should mean that schools need to adjust their budget. People are unemployed, insurance rates keep raising, the only jobs available are low paying and the price of everything keeps getting higher and higher,.
I am on a limited income as a lot of senior citizens. We got a raise this year ( a big $15) but then our Medicare was increased along with our prescription rates, plus food, taxes, home insurance, car insurance, gas which more than took care of the increase. We have to budget our income with little extra for our necessities.
So, all should check their income and think about the future. we don't know what the future brings and it doesn't look good. Can you afford another levy being deducted from your pay check? I can't, so that tells you how I will vote.
