What I Did This Summer - Paris
Music composer Cole Porter wrote of Paris, "I love Paris in the spring time, I love Paris in the fall, I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles, I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles. I love Paris, why oh why do I love Paris?"
For one lucky student, that's an easy answer.
"My impression of Paris was beyond what I expected because it was so beautiful and glamorous," said Carolina student Lauren Abele. "The people, the architecture, the fashion, the food, and the lights were all amazing!"
In May and at the height of spring, Lauren jetted off to one of the world's most famous cities and the center of the fashion world. Her trip was part of the the University's Department of Retailing annual May Session adventure. Lucky for Lauren, Paris was this year's destination.
"I wanted to participate in the Paris May Session trip because it has been always been a dream of mine to travel there," she said.
"I heard about the trip in one of my classes and immediately talked to my professors and parents about going. I knew I could study fashion and travel, which are two of my favorite things. I knew this was an opportunity of a lifetime."
Department chair Marianne Bickle has been shepherding budding fashionistas on these May Session excursions since 2005. This year, she took 18 students. The trips are on a three-year cycle: Paris, London, and Italy. Bickle said the goal of each trip is to broaden the student's exposure to international retailing experiences and venues.
Aspiring fashion designer Tara Lance says it was all that, and more.
"The best part of the trip was this store called Colette," she said. "It was everything that meant fashion to me. I loved the downstairs: very chic with a wet bar in the next level under the first floor. And, to top it off, the next two levels were luxury clothing.
Tara, Lauren, and the rest of the group got an up close and personal look at creating luxury when they visited the house and factory of iconic designer Louis Vuitton.
"I had always loved Louis Vuitton," Lauren said, "but I did not know the history of the company or that Louis Vuitton is family owned and prides itself on that. And once you work for Louis Vuitton, you are always a part of the family."
They were in awe of the painstaking process of creating those one-of-a-kind Vuitton bags and trunks.
"I also never knew that everything was made by hand," Lauren said. "All the pieces are made perfectly, and the price really doesn't seem that bad when you see the work that goes into a Louis Vuitton that will forever be in style."
Bickle said they felt privileged to visit the Louis Vuitton house and factory right in the center of Paris, an opportunity usually only granted to celebrities, such as actress Sharon Stone. She also says the most satisfying part of the trip was watching the students mature.
"They begin the trip somewhat naïve as international travelers," she said "They end the trip far more mature about international retailing and international traveling."
And, yes, said Lauren, there was shopping.
"We shopped and saw a fashion show at Galleries Lafayette, which can be compared to a department store in the USA," she said. "However, this store was not like any store I had ever seen. It was so amazing! It had a stained glass dome, champagne bar at the Tiffany&Co counter, the largest shoe department in Paris. Every major designer had a section, and there was a huge market on the basement level."
Tara, who was fascinated with the store displays, says she learned a lot about visual merchandising by what she saw in department store windows. Topping off an already perfect trip, she met the fashion designer, Alain Lalou, who shared his challenges and accomplishments, inspiring her, and offering himself as a mentor as she embarks on her design career.

Last Requests is a mission in Grand Theft Auto III given to protagonist Claude by Leone Family Don Salvatore Leone from his mansion in Saint Mark's, Portland, Liberty City.
Claude goes to Salvatore's mansion to celebrate destroying the ship docked in Portland Harbor used by the Colombian Cartel to manufacture SPANK. Salvatore tells Claude that there is one more thing he needs doing before they can celebrate. A car needs to be collected from nearby Luigi's Sex Club 7 and taken to the Harwood Autocrusher and Junkyard before the police discover the vehicle, which is covered in brains. Claude begins to drive towards the car, however, Maria Latore pages Claude, saying that the car is a trap - the car is planted with a bomb, and tells Claude to meet her at a small jetty in Callahan Point. Maria describes how she told Salvatore they were an item and that Claude is a marked man, before introducing Yakuza co-leader Asuka Kasen. The three travel to Newport, Staunton Island by boat. Maria tells Claude to look around Staunton Island, and Asuka informs Claude of a safehouse he can use.
Salvatore Leone: It's my favorite cleaner. I'm proud of you my boy, you kicked the shit outta those grease balls. I've got just one little job for you before we can all celebrate. There's a car around the block from Luigi's club. The inside is covered in brains. We had to help some guy make up his mind and it proved a little messy. Take it to the crusher before the cops find it.
(Claude drives to the car)
Maria Latore (pager): This is Maria. The car's a trap! Meet me at the slip south of Callahan Bridge.
(Claude is paged by Maria and meets her at Callahan Point)
Maria Latore: Listen, Salvatore thinks that we're going behind his back, so he was offering you to the Cartel in order to make a deal. I couldn't let him do that, I mean the worst thing is, it's all my fault... because I told him, we were an item. Don't ask me why. I don't know. Look you're a marked man on Mafia turf and I've got to get out of here too. I've seen too much killing. Too much blood! This is a friend of mine ok, she's an old friend.. it's Asuka, she's someone we can trust.
Asuka Kasen: C'mon, Enough of the speeches. We better get out of here before we get more hysterical Italians wanting less friendly reunions.
(Claude, Asuka and Maria travel to Staunton Island)
Maria Latore: Asuka and I are gonna have to talk, uh, Why don't you go cruise around?
Asuka Kasen: You'll need a place to lie low. There's a warehouse at the edge of Belleville that should suit your needs. Come back here to my Condo when you are ready, and we can have a little chat.
The reward for completing the mission is $20,000. Staunton Island is unlocked upon completion of the mission, along with the mission Sayonara Salvatore for Asuka Kasen. The mission Bling-bling Scramble for King Courtney will also be unlocked once the player enters Staunton Island. The player can now purchase weapons from the Newport Ammu-Nation.
- After completing this mission, any remaining missions for Luigi Goterelli and Joey Leone will be permanently disabled, preventing the player from achieving 100% completion.
- Getting inside the Cheetah will, obviously, cause the car to explode, killing the player character and thus failing the mission. It is possible to quickly get out of the car right after getting in, so the player may just barely survive the car bomb, and Maria's checkpoint will still remain on the radar.
- If the player hits Maria or Asuka, then they will automatically have Uzi's and will start shooting at you. If you retake control of the boat, they will simply stop shooting and stare at you.
- The paranoia shown by Salvatore Leone in this mission is similar to his treatment of Toni Cipriani in Driving Mr. Leone in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and may be due to the betrayal of Carl Johnson.
- Even though Maria says that "you're a marked man on Mafia turf", Claude won't be attacked on sight by the Mafia until he kills Salvatore.
- When Claude approaches Maria and Asuka at the dock, a second Claude is seen behind the controls of the Reefer. This is most easily spotted when the camera is focused on Asuka with the boat behind her.
- The source of the $20,000 reward after the completion of the mission is ambiguous, as the mission-giver, Salvatore, is obviously not the source. The money is presumed to have been provided by Asuka Kasen to obtain Claude's loyalty to the Yakuza.
Claude about to drive to a small pier after being paged by Maria Latore.
Claude arriving at the small pier in Callahan Point to meet Maria Latore.
Maria Latore telling Claude that she had told Salvatore Leone they were in a relationship.
Claude taking Asuka Kasen and Maria Latore to Aspatria in a Reefer.
Asuka Kasen telling Claude to come back later for some work.

Anyone know or recommend a nice cheap 4 or 3 board wall rack? thank you
Here we go again. . . check the boards for numerous discussions on this.
not smart enough don't know how this works.
Easy, take a hook screw and screw into wall. Hang the board onto the hook screw with the small leash rope that is tied to the leash cup....repeat as needed, easy as pie.
I believe what he is trying to say is that there is a search option for the threads- at the top right of the page- and there are many threads with ideas ect on this topic...
I got maybe $15 in this. I made it to fit 5 easy but will hold 9 all together. Much cheaper to make your own.
maybe 50 bucks worth of supplies
The guys are above are right...you can and should make your own--probably the least expensive route as well. Just remember measure twice...cut once. Use the plan below...

Has some mid-2000's Viper design elements in it too like the curvy rear spoiler.
I agree.. love the overall look of the car.. but the back looks terrible, imo. Kinda ruins the entire product. Hope they tweak it a bit before its actually released.
Wow, sounds like a great job, but I'm sure you're incredibly busy.
Would love to get updates via PM from Bowling Green if it wouldn't be too much.
The car will take some getting used to. I was enamored with the C6 the moment it was revealed, but this one is a pretty drastic change...not to say I don't like it.
with some nissan Z heritage thrown in.
Since they did away with the hideaway headlights it looks more like a Trans Am.
(if they would have kept making them that is)
More than ever in this pic.
I'd argue that this
to this, is less of a jump in styling than
than this to
It really does, especially in this photo.
I don't see what you're seeing. It looks like they made a Ferrari look like a Corvette, and then Corvette got an udpate to make it look more modern/aggressive.
Yes. You can see the F-car changed its proportions drastically adopting the long nose of the Corvette..because it put the engine in the front vs. the middle/rear.
I will update as much as I can. I can tell you the production of the C6 stops February 28th. The plant will then be on idle status until August. The workers will still report to work for schooling and training. Very few saleable vehicles will be produced during this time. We will assemble, take apart, re-assemble until we work the bugs out. There are only two common parts on the C7 that were on the C6. Everything else is all new components. Line speed jumps from 8 jobs an hour to 18 in August.
I actually saw a Corvette on the road a couple weeks ago here in MD. I was shocked. Someone actually took it out of the garage and drove it on the road. I hardly ever see any of them anymore, old or new. What's bad for Corvette in my opinion, is the car I saw hardly even stood out. It was just some extra-wide, extra-low average looking vehicle going the speed of traffic just like everyone else.
It just doesn't have that "wow" factor anymore. Hasn't had it for 30 or more years now. With a price tag of $50-60k+, that's a lot of coin to throw away just to have something to look at in a garage. Maybe, every once in a while, pop the hood and "marvel" at the engine and dream about opening it up on the highway (if there only weren't speed limits and other drivers). Until common sense kicks in and they realize how high maintenance and costly the engine really is. And then the real kick-in-the-groin comes when they realize chicks don't even dig the 'vette anymore.
GM and Corvette need to go back to the original drawing board. Forget about all that engine crapola and just make a classic old style body, think early 60's or something, with a normal, nothing fancy engine, and a price tag of around $30k.
Until then GM will continue to lose money making a car that sits in a garage where the owners mostly drive it in their dreams asleep on the couch. Zoom, snore, zoom, snore, zoom.
Um, no....
SacredStar...what exactly is your role with the C7? Have been following for months and watched the live reveal last Sun night. C7 is Dynamite imo, I absolutely love every inch of it. Finally a Vette that breaks the mold once again.You have to go all the way back to the C4 for a truly groundbreaking Corvette. Keep us updated and good luck in BG. C7 is going to sell finally to the younger generation imo. It's definitely on my must have list whereas both the C5/6 were not. Anyone interested in my 96 GS 15k miles just let me know...Have to free up some cashies now.
looks like the front is smiling at you, or a robot face.

AUDIO: Brantley holds press conference after signing extension
(GOODYEAR, Ariz.) – Michael Brantley is a core piece for the Cleveland Indians, on Thursday they proved it.
Brantley signed a four-year, $25 million contract which includes a club option for the 2018 season. The deal was reported on Monday evening, but the club made it official on Thursday morning.
Brantley, 26, has spent his entire five-year Major League career with the Tribe since being acquired from the Milwaukee Brewers as the "player to be named later" in the C.C. Sabathia trade back in 2008.
Along with Brantley, Indians general manager Chris Antonetti held a press conference to talk about the contract extension.
Brantley owns a career batting average of .277 to go along with 100 doubles, 14 triples, 26 HRs and 212 RBIs in a total of 514 games.
Listen to the press conference with Brantley and Antonetti below:

Arts Tax refunds for certain Portlanders
An analysis of the arts tax of the city of Portland has revealed that some people who have received most or all of their income from Social Security or the Public Employees Retirement System have paid the tax. And those types of income are not taxable by the city.
This means some people who have paid the arts tax are eligible for refunds.
A notice explaining the refund process is posted on the city's homepage, with other links.
This is the second revision so far for the tax, which was approved by voters in November 2012. Earlier this spring, an analysis of the tax showed that anyone in a household above the federal poverty level was expected to pay the $35 per year, even if an individual in that household made less than $35.
The City Council adopted a revision to the arts tax, setting excluded people who made less than $1,000 in 2012.
The deadline for people to pay the arts tax is May 15. "To date, the Revenue Bureau has collected over $4.25 million and thousands of checks are being processed daily," said Thomas Lannom, director of the City Revenue Bureau.
People who don't need to pay the tax are those who income derives solely or primarily from Social Security and PERS. Refunds are not applicable if people had $1,000 or more in other income that is taxable.
Social Security is not a taxable form of income in Oregon, even though it often is taxable at a federal level.
The Revenue Bureau has not estimated the number of people eligible for the refund.
"This arts tax puts us in a bind," Mayor Charlie Hales said. "We want to be true to voters, who approved it in November. We have to be good stewards of taxpayers' money. And we want to support the public schools and arts community. These problems – which stem from the way the tax was written – make it difficult to meet all those goals."
Hales said staff will continue to study the arts tax, and will recommend changes, as directed by City Council in March.
The tax was created last year to support arts programs in public schools, as well as the metro area arts community.
Two law suits have been filed against the arts tax.

ONTARIO - The city's Development Code is up for review and Councilman Alan Wapner wants the council to have some input.
At the Feb. 19 council meeting, he suggested that the council place, for discussion on its next agenda, the formation of an ad-hoc committee comprised of a couple of council members. The elected officials would guide the technical staff with some policy decisions and recommendations.
"So that when the development does come back to the council it reflects our direction as far as policy concerns," Wapner said.
He also asked that on the next agenda, it include the possibility of council members Jim Bowman and Debra Dorst-Porada be named to the committee.

American Idol Kris Allen is now an American dad
Listen to Kris Allen on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Forget about the royal baby. A new baby has been born into "American Idol" royalty: Prince Oliver of Arkansas. Yes, Season 8 "Idol" winner Kris Allen and his wife of almost five years, Katy O'Connell Allen, have just welcomed their first child, a 7 pound, 7 ounce boy named Oliver Allen, born July 30.
Shortly after the birth announcement, Kris tweeted a photo of himself in hospital scrubs, declaring them "the best outfit I'll ever wear" and July 30 "the best day of my life," adding, "Happy Day!!!! My little stud was born today. Oliver is here people!"
Oliver's birth marks the midway point of an extremely eventful year for the Allens. 2013 began with a literal bang, when Kris, Katy, and their dog Zorro were in a serious car accident on New Year's Day. That day, Kris tweeted about Katy's pregnancy, which had not yet been announced, and thanked "American Idol" sponsor Ford for equipping him with a car that kept his growing family safe.
Although the Allens thankfully emerged from the wreckage relatively unscathed, Kris broke his wrist and was unable to play guitar on his fittingly titled Out Alive Tour later that month; he has since endured three surgeries, after his wrist failed to properly heal after his first operation.

It looks like Robbie Findley could be on his way back to Utah.
The former Real Salt Lake forward is reported to have been reacquired by the franchise Tuesday morning, according to soccer scribe Ives Galarcep of Soccer by Ives. Galarcep reported the Portland Timbers, who owned the rights to Findley after selecting him in the 2011 MLS Expansion Draft, traded those rights to RSL to complete Findley's potential return to the Wasatch Front.
Galarcep reported that it remains unclear what RSL gave up in the deal to get Findley, but added it is likely either allocation money or an MLS draft pick.
The former RSL forward who was instrumental in the team's 2009 run toward the MLS Cup spent the last two years playing for Nottingham Forest in the Football League Championship in England. Findley scored 29 goals in four seasons with RSL, including a 12-goal season during the team's title in 2009. He also started for the U.S. Men's National Team at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa in a 1-1 tie against England in the first round.
The potential move to reacquire Findley comes more than a month after RSL traded popular names Fabian Espindola and Jamison Olave to the New York Red Bulls as well as Will Johnson to Portland.
The Tribune is currently working on confirming the deal with the club.

Cornas is a harsh place---or can be---for Syrah, and I've often been confounded by the wines from some producers/vintages---primarily because of that hard green olive character that you identify! Sometimes I've confounded them to the point of not thinking they were Syrah at all, and were perhaps misshapen young weedy Merlots.
When I was at Alain Voge earlier this year, I had the ability to sample through a range of vintages and walk the slopes to get a feel of the terroir. It was a good exercise because I then could understand some of the conditions in certain vineyard locations that could dictate that hard green note to the wines. Location, exposure to the wines, and very importantly the soil composition and texture can strongly influence and determine what the resulting wines will be.
(And I still believe Chapoutier does better with other Rhone AOCs than they do with Cornas. In general.)

Here's a perl script that I wrote up literally in less than a minute. It works, it's hard coded and poorly written, but it works.
I only tested on your sample input, not on a particularly large list. It should use as much memory as list1 uses disk space, and it will write duplicates from list2 into list3, so be careful not to have them in there (or sort -u at the end I suppose). The sorter works by loading list1 into memory (resolving duplicates) and then processing list2 line by line. If the item does not exist in list1, it is copied from list2 and added to list3 (the final list). If it does exist, it is not copied.
For any perl coders watching, I started using an array but thought a hash would be easier, I only knocked in the two lines before my head caught up with my fingers, but I left them there for examples
That is nasty code, feel free to clean it up or just use it as an example.Code:[bleh:~] gitsnik% cat sorter.pl #!/usr/bin/env perl open $file1, "<list1"; open $file2, "<list2"; # my @words = (); my %words = (); while (my $line = <$file1>) { chomp $line; # push (@words, $line); $words{$line} = 1; } close $file1; open $file3, ">list3"; while(my $line = <$file2>) { chomp($line); if ( !defined $words{$line} ) { print $file3 "$line\n"; } } close $file3; close $file2; [bleh:~] gitsnik%

You put some nice effort into this larryhaja. Good job. Thanks.
This tutorial covers how to enable a telnet session on certain Netgear routers. The program that we will use is called telnetenable. For more information on this program then use the links below.
Useful Links
OK, so lets get onto the fun part.
Before we can actually run this program we need to make sure that we have a viable candidate. To do this we will run the program Nmap. There are many different variables that you could use with nmap but for our purposes we will just do a quick scan to get some basic information. I will show you two different nmap scans on two different Netgear routers. One router has the telnet port open and the other doesn't have telnet enabled at all.
Viable Candidate
We can see from the output that the telnet port is open. But if we try to connect to the telnet port we will get the following.Code:bt ~ # nmap -A -T4 192.168.1.1 Interesting ports on 192.168.1.1: Not shown: 1713 closed ports PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION 23/tcp open telnet? 80/tcp open tcpwrapped | HTTP Auth: HTTP Service requires authentication |_ Auth type: Basic, realm = WGR614v7 MAC Address: AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA (Netgear) Device type: WAP Running: Netgear embedded OS details: Netgear WGR614v7 or WPN824v2 wireless broadband router Uptime: 5.153 days (since Sat Jul 19 12:19:33 2008) Network Distance: 1 hop
We can see that it is open but not enabled. This is where the program I will show comes in handy.Code:bt telnet # telnet 192.168.1.1 Trying 192.168.1.1... Connected to 192.168.1.1. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host.
Not a viable candidate
As we can see on this particular router there is no telnet port enabled. From my limited experience from working with Netgear routers it seems most of the older routers, mainly the 802.11b only routers, don't have the telnet port open. Most of the newer 802.11bg routers do have the telnet port open. If you find this not to be the case I would like to hear it.Code:bt ~ # nmap -A -T4 192.168.0.1 Interesting ports on 192.168.0.1: Not shown: 1710 closed ports PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION 80/tcp open http Netgear MR814v2 wireless router http config (IP_SHARER WEB httpd 1.0) |_ HTML title: Site doesn't have a title. | HTTP Auth: HTTP Service requires authentication |_ Auth type: Basic, realm = MR814v2 MAC Address: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (Netgear) Device type: WAP|firewall Running (JUST GUESSING) : TRENDnet embedded (96%), Netgear embedded (93%) Aggressive OS guesses: TRENDnet TEW-431BRP wireless broadband router (96%), Netgear FR114P ProSafe VPN firewall (93%) No exact OS matches for host (test conditions non-ideal). Network Distance: 1 hop Service Info: Device: router
Obtaining the software
There are probably many ways to obtain this software if you do a quick google search. So I'm providing links to the files needed to compile the program that worked for me.
Compile the programCode:bt ~ # mkdir telnet bt ~ # cd telnet bt telnet # wget http://ktdreyer.googlepages.com/telnetenable.c bt telnet # wget http://ktdreyer.googlepages.com/md5.h bt telnet # wget http://ktdreyer.googlepages.com/md5.c bt telnet # wget http://ktdreyer.googlepages.com/blowfish.h bt telnet # wget http://ktdreyer.googlepages.com/blowfish.c
We will use the gcc compiler to compile the telnetenable program. Make sure that you are running as root or that you compile it with root priviledges.
Code:bt telnet # gcc -o telnetenable md5.c blowfish.c telnetenable.c md5.c: In function 'MD5Update': md5.c:74: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'memmove' md5.c:77: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'memmove' md5.c:85: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'memmove' md5.c:92: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'memmove' md5.c: In function 'MD5Final': md5.c:112: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'memset' md5.c:118: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'memset' md5.c:128: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'memmove' md5.c:129: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'memset' telnetenable.c: In function 'usage': telnetenable.c:66: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'exit' telnetenable.c: In function 'EncodeString': telnetenable.c:94: warning: passing argument 2 of 'Blowfish_Encrypt' from incompatible pointer type telnetenable.c:94: warning: passing argument 3 of 'Blowfish_Encrypt' from incompatible pointer type When you look in the directory then you will find the new program called telnetenable.We can see that there are many warnings when you compile the program. We can safely ignore those warning messages. One of the comments on one of the links above said that you need to be root to compile and run the program. So, as stated above, I would recommend logging in as root or issuing the command "sudo -s" to obtain root privileges. I'm assuming that you are running as root as BT3 runs best as root.Code:bt telnet # ls blowfish.c blowfish.h md5.c md5.h telnetenable* telnetenable.c
Opening the connection
The telnetenable program doesn't actually open up and communicate with the router by itself but instead makes a packet that is sent to the router via the netcat program. You can run the program with no variables with it so it will tell us what information we need to provide.
From the output we can see that we need to provide the host IP of the router, the MAC address of the router, the default username, and the default password. So lets provide the information that we obtained from the viable candidate. From the viable candidate we can see that the host IP in this case is 192.168.1.1 and the MAC address is AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA. When typing in the MAC address the telnetenable program doesn't like the colons, so leave them out. The default username and password is Gearguy and Geardog, respectively, and the packet that we are going to make is called modpkt.pkt. I don't believe the name of the resulting file is important but it is what I found and worked for me. Once the packet is made then we will send the packet to the router via netcat.Code:bt telnet # ./telnetenable Version:0.1, 2006/06/22 Usage: ./telnetenable <host ip> <host mac> <user name> <password>
Logging inCode:bt telnet # ./telnetenable 192.168.1.1 AAAAAAAAAAAA Gearguy Geardog > modpkt.pkt bt telnet # nc 192.168.1.1 23 < modpkt.pkt
So now that we have sent the packet to the router lets see if it worked. From here just telnet into the router.
And if you are successful then you will have a command prompt like the one above. We now have full administrative access to the router. The router has a version of VxWorks on it so the two best commands to use to weave your way around are "help" and "..". The help command will list any directories and/or files in the current directory. The ".." command works just like the "cd .." command does in Linux and allows us to move out of directories. To exit cleanly we need to be in the top level folder and issue the command exit to close our telnet session. An example of help in the top directory will result in the following menu.Code:bt telnet # telnet 192.168.1.1 Trying 192.168.1.1... Connected to 192.168.1.1. Escape character is '^]'. Login: Gearguy Password: ******* U12H06400>
And that is how you enable the telnet session in Netgear routers. I tried to provide enough information to clear up any ambiguity, so I apologize for the length of this tutorial. If you find that there are any mistakes then please leave a post and I will either clear up the mistake or try to explain better.Code:U12H06400> help Commands are: bridge ddns exit ftpc ip lan nat passwd pot reboot save show sntp time uptime version wan web wla '..' return to previous directory U12H06400> exit Connection closed by foreign host.
1) Every time the router is rebooted or a setting is changed then the telnet session is open but not enabled.
2) If, for some reason, the telnetenable program doesn't work then the telnet port is completely disabled. You need to reboot the router to open the port and then try the telnetenable process again. This is what you will see if you try to telnet into the router after a failed netcat attempt.
3) I have tried using this program many times on Ubuntu with limited to no success. It worked for me on BT3 for this tutorial with root privileges. So, from my limited experience with the Linux version of this program then YMMV on successfully using it.Code:bt ~ # telnet 192.168.1.1 Trying 192.168.1.1... telnet: connect to address 192.168.1.1: Connection refused
4) If all fails then try using the windows version called "telnetEnable.exe"
You put some nice effort into this larryhaja. Good job. Thanks.

Chemist named SURA distinguished scientist
The Southeastern Universities Research Association (SURA) announced Friday (Feb. 18) that Richard D. Adams, Carolina Distinguished Professor at the University of South Carolina, will receive its 2011 Distinguished Scientist Award.
The award honors a research scientist whose extraordinary work fulfills the SURA mission of "fostering excellence in scientific research." The award and its $20,000 honorarium will be presented to Adams on March 15 at the SURA Board of Trustees meeting at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. He will make a presentation to the board the next day.
"SURA wants to highlight the exemplary work of this renowned researcher, whose reputation extends well beyond his own campus and our region," said Charles W. Steger, President of Virginia Tech and chair of the SURA Council of Presidents and Executive Committee. "Dr. Adams' research at the interface of chemistry and nanotechnology shows great societal promise for the hydrogen economy and renewable fuels of the future."
In a series of studies of some of his 500 original research publications, Adams has unveiled the nature of hydrocarbon ligand transformations at polynuclear metal sites. New catalysts for hydrocarbon and hydrogen utilization are required for meeting the challenge of energy efficiency and utilization.
Adams has been on the USC faculty for 26 years. After earning his bachelor's degree from Pennsylvania State University, he earned his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He served in assistant professorships at SUNY at Buffalo and Yale University before joining USC in 1984. His extramural research support for single-investigator awards has included the Petroleum Research Fund and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, as well as the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation.

Move those tots!
Tots need at least three hours of daily exercise
By Karen Petit, Arnold School of Public Health, firstname.lastname@example.com
Walk, play, jump, run or take off on a tricycle. Whatever you do, get young children moving more.
Arnold School of Public Health researchers Russ Pate and Jennifer O'Neill are calling for three hours of daily exercise for children under age 6.
In a commentary in the "Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine," the University of South Carolina Arnold School colleagues note that, with the increasing number of children who are overweight or obese, numerous authorities are recommending more action be taken to improve children's health.
In the United States alone, 26.7 percent of children between the ages of 2 and 5 are obese or overweight.
While it's been previously thought that young children need a minimum of one hour of physical activity a day, major organizations in three countries -- Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States – are seeking to raise the benchmark to three hours.
Studies using accelerometers (wristwatch-like devices that measure physical activity) show that preschool-age kids get only sporadic exercise, with very little of it vigorous.
For children under age 6, experts generally advise a combination of light activity and energetic activity throughout the day.
The National Health Service in the United Kingdom outlines lighter activity as casual walking, moving around or less energetic playtime. More energetic activities include fast walking, riding a bike, dancing, swimming, skipping rope and active play such as hide-and-seek games.
In 2010, Australia's Department of Health and Aging recommended at least three hours of daily activity for toddlers and preschoolers spread throughout the day. In 2011, the U.S. Institute of Medicine recommended parents and others caring for children provide "opportunities for light, moderate, and vigorous physical activity for at least 15 minutes per hour," which translates to three hours daily, for children who spend 12 hours awake.
"These three new guidelines, although using somewhat distinct phrasing, are remarkably similar in that they all recommend that young children engage in three hours of total physical activity per day," Pate and O'Neill wrote in their commentary.
The two scientists are members of the Arnold School's Children's Physical Activity Research Group. Pate is principal investigator for the organization; O'Neill is a post-doctoral fellow.

Dan Marino: I was confused, didn't mean to sue NFL
(NEWSER) – The growing ranks of NFL veterans taking the league to court over concussions included a Hall of Fame quarterback, but only briefly. Dan Marino has withdrawn his name from a new lawsuit, reports the Sun-Sentinel. In a statement, the ex-Dolphins star blames it on legal confusion. "Within the last year, I authorized a claim to be filed on my behalf just in case I needed future medical coverage to protect me and my family," he says. "In so doing I did not realize I would be automatically listed as a plaintiff in a lawsuit against the NFL. I have made the decision it is not necessary for me to be part of any claims."

PHILADELPHIA - The University of Pennsylvania's head coach for squash, Jack Wyant, has announced the hiring of Gilly Lane C'07 as an assistant coach with the squash programs.
This marks Lane's second tenure as an assistant coach under Wyant at Penn. Previously, the 2007 Penn graduate spent the 2010-11 season with the programs. That year, the women finished the 2010-11 season ranked fifth in the nation, while the men advanced to the Hoehn Cup final.
"Gilly's return to Penn Squash is incredibly exciting," said Wyant. "The administration worked hard to lure him back to the program, and I am indebted to them and our Penn Squash Alumni Board for their help in his recruitment.
"Gilly's energy, enthusiasm and expertise will pay immediate dividends. He is a world-class player and has refined his coaching skills over the past 24 months. Whenever you can hire a coach of his abilities -- who bleeds Red & Blue -- you do it!"
"It is good to be back," said Lane. "I cannot tell you how excited I am being back at Penn. This is a place where I have had some of my most successful moments as a player and as a person. I truly believe in what the school stands for and its ability to prepare student-athletes for life after college.
"I am grateful for the opportunity to be welcomed back by my alma mater, and I look forward to working with Jack to make the program one of the top destinations for student-athletes."
Lane's hiring adds to an already impressive list of duties that he currently holds including assistant coach with the United States Junior Boys' National Team; US Squash Board member; athlete representative for US Squash to the United States Olympic Committee (USOC); and member of US Squash's Nominating Committee. In addition, he is owner of GL Squash and the GL Squash Camp.
The Philadelphia native has won three Professional Squash Association (PSA) titles, reached eight PSA Tour finals, and held a world ranking as high as 48th -- the second-best ranking ever for an American. A member of the US National Team since 2007, Lane has been runner-up at the US Nationals four times. In 2011, he helped the U.S. team to seventh at the World Championships in Paderborn, Germany, the team's best finish at that event. Lane also was a member of the United States' gold medal-winning men's team at the 2008 Pan American Games in Cuenca, Ecuador.
Lane had an impressive college career at Penn, earning All-America, All-Ivy, and team MVP all four years, as well as serving as captain as a junior and senior. He was also the first Penn player to receive the College Squash Association's (CSA) Skillman Award, given to a player who exemplifies leadership, sportsmanship, and achievement over his career.
Lane graduated from Penn in 2007 with a B.A. in American History.

Past Meetings
NIA/Sloan Initiative on Older Workers, London, England - March 9-10, 2012
This exploratory meeting was called to discuss issues related to facilitating longer working lives and expanding the area of investigation of the research project. The meeting included presentations of the completed reports from the first year of the Sloan grant. The following goals were addressed: (1) Ways in which the HRS-ELSA-SHARE nexus of surveys could be used to obtain more information on the work arrangements that most appeal to older workers and that would facilitate their labor force participation; (2) Elicit ideas for further substantive areas of analysis aimed at facilitating work at older ages. (For more information contact Dr. John Phillips, 301-496-3138.)
THE IMPACT OF AGING ON THE INNATE IMMUNE SYSTEM May 5, 2012
The Division of Aging Biology (DAB) is sponsoring a symposium at the Annual Meeting of the American Association of Immunology on May 5, 2012 in Boston, MA. Four speakers will be giving presentations at this symposium which is titled "The Impact of Aging on the Innate Immune System".
Alzheimer's Disease Research Summit 2012: Path to Treatment and Prevention - May 14-15, 2012
The fact that basic science advances in Alzheimer's disease (AD) research have not yet resulted in effective therapeutics for treatment or prevention emphasizes the need for continued evaluation of scientific opportunities and priorities for future research. This includes a need to critically evaluate and expand our knowledge of basic biological processes and pathogenic mechanisms, to re-examine the major therapeutic hypotheses, and the existing models of preclinical and clinical therapy development, and to optimize approaches for the selection and validation of therapeutic targets. In light of this, the key goal of the AD Research Summit 2012, which was held on May 14-15, 2012 in Bethesda, MD by the National Institute on Aging, the Department of Health and Human Services, and with private support through the Foundation for NIH, was to formulate an integrated multidisciplinary research agenda that will accelerate the development of successful therapies for AD across the disease continuum. The Summit also identified what types of resources/infrastructure and new public private partnerships are necessary to successfully implement this research agenda. The program was organized around six major themes presented in consecutive sessions which evaluated issues of critical importance for identification of successful interventions for Alzheimer's disease. The composition of speakers and panelists for each session included representatives from academia, industry, federal agencies, and private foundations. Each session brought together experts working in different disciplines since one of the major goals of the meeting was to enable integration of research areas, research expertise, and research resources for the purpose of optimizing scientific discovery and its translation to efficacious therapies for AD. The general program was followed by an executive session during which a group of experts, together with NIA/NIH staff and representatives from other AD-funding agencies, discussed research priorities and milestones for measuring progress toward the goal of accelerating delivery of successful treatments for AD.
Future Meetings
NIA-BBSRC PARTNERING AWARDS GRANTEES MEETING (Year 3) - June 3, 2012
The National Institute on Aging (US) and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (UK) initiated the joint NIA-BBSRC Partnering Awards for Collaboration on the Biology of Aging in September 2009. NIA awarded six R01 Partnering grants (3 year term) to the US Principal Investigators and the BBSRC awarded six Partnering grants (3 year term) to the UK Lead Investigators at the end of FY 2009. NIA-BBSRC Grantee meetings are an integral component of this joint funding program designed to enhance collaboration and networking among the US and UK scientists who received the six awards and NIA and BBSRC scientific staff. DAB staff (David Finkelstein) along with BBSRC staff (Louisa Jenkin and Simon Kerley) have arranged the third annual NIA-BBSRC Grantee meeting, to be held on June 3, 2012 in conjunction with the Annual meeting of the American Aging Association in Fort Worth, Texas. Grantees will make platform presentations at the AGE meeting.

Meeting on Replicability in the Behavioral Sciences (with OBSSR and APS), Washington DC – June 4, 2012
The reproducibility of published results is a cornerstone of modern science, but the increasing size and complexity of research projects in the behavioral and social sciences has increasingly led to concerns about the replicability of published results. The Division of Behavioral and Social Research has an opportunity to work with the Association for Psychological Science (APS) and the NIH Office of Behavioral and Social Research (OBSSR) to conduct a one-day exploratory meeting devoted to the topic of replicability in the behavioral and social sciences, a topic of joint interest to all three parties. This small (approximately 10-15 extramural participants) meeting is projected to take place in the late Spring or early Summer of 2012, and will be supported in part by a modest contribution from BSR operating funds and staff time. OBSSR will also contribute some funding and logistical support, and the APS will be providing the majority of funds for the event (e.g., travel of participants). The purpose of this meeting is to begin a dialog with the extramural research community on what the key issues are for replicability and why well-designed failures to replicate too often go unpublished. It should be noted that the concern over the publication of false positive results is broader than behavioral and social research (e.g., some of the same issues appear to be affecting clinical and pre-clinical research), but we feel that an initial, seminar-style meeting would be the fastest and most cost-effective way to begin work on this topic within the context of BSR projects. This endeavor could later be expanded to cover a wider range of substantive research areas. For more information contact Dr. Jonathan King, 301-402-4156.)
Motivation and Aging: Toward the Next Generation of Behavioral Interventions – June 18-19, 2012
Exploratory meeting planned with NAS Board on Behavioral Cognitive and Sensory Sciences. The purpose of this meeting is to bring together select individuals with expertise in behavioral interventions, motivation theory, aging and life course development, and personality psychology to discuss how to apply knowledge and approaches from these fields to successful interventions to increase motivation in aging populations and improve aging outcomes. (For more information please contact:
Dr. Lis Nielsen, BSR, 301-402-4156.)
Meeting on Early Determinants of Later-Life Health, Southampton – July 18-20, 2012
The University of Chicago's Health Inequality Network (HINet) comprises experts in economics, medicine, and genomics, focused on integrating knowledge from different disciplines to better understand the origins of health disparities, the mechanisms that foster resilience, and the efficacy of interventions that compensate or remediate adversity and promote healthy aging – topics of high priority to BSR. Within this broader aim, the first meeting of the HINet, and the contemporaneous NIA-sponsored workshop "The Role of Genetic and Environmental Factors across the Lifecourse: Improving the Rigor of Causal Inference," assembled a broader group of researchers engaged in life-course research at the frontier of their fields to start confronting and integrating different interdisciplinary approaches to the developmental origins of health and aging, and to set priorities for future research agendas. We now propose to capitalize on this initial endeavor, and organize a more focused, follow-up exploratory meeting, to maximize NIA's investment in the first workshop, and produce concrete deliverables which can inform policy. (For more information contact Dr. Erica Spotts, 301-402-4156.)
Optogenetics and Plasticity of Neural Systems in Aging – August 2, 2012
Neural systems undergo profound changes as individual ages. Observations made in human clinical studies have led to a number of important postulations on the behavioral significance of neural activity changes in older adults. Such neural plastic changes with age include a decrease in inhibition of unnecessary or undesirable neural activity or an increase of neural activities in additional brain regions presumably in response to functional declines in primary neural circuits. However, empirical evidence has been lacking to determine the causal relationships between these neural activity changes and the behavioral outcomes. In addition, it is not known whether reversing these neural activity changes would alter the associated age-related behavioral outcomes. Recent development and advances in optogenetic technologies has enabled the ability to control the level of neural activities at a single neuron level in living model organisms through the control of light at appropriate wavelengths. To explore research on aging neural systems utilizing these new powerful technology, DN plans to convene an exploratory workshop in Bethesda, MD on August 2, 2012. Participants of the workshop will include experts in optogenetic technologies and their applications in systems neuroscience as well as experts in aging neural systems using animal models or in human clinical studies. The outcome of the meeting may include a publication of the viewpoints presented at the workshop in an appropriate peer-reviewed journal. (For further information, contact: Dr. Wen G. Chen, DN, Ph: 301-496-9350; firstname.lastname@example.com)
Advisory Workshop on Epigenetics of Aging – August, 2012
Aging is a process involving many epigenetic changes, including DNA methylation, histone modification, gene regulation by microRNAs, and modulation of chromatin states. These epigenetic changes may also play important roles in mediating the impact of environmental factors. A greater understanding of the epigenetic changes during aging may provide new insights for the mechanisms of aging and aging-related diseases. Recent advances in DNA sequencing, new epigenetic approaches, single cell and single-molecule technologies offer an unprecedented opportunity in this field. Many questions remain to be addressed, and the critical obstacles in the field need to be identified and tackled. One challenge in the field is how to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of aging process by sharing the resources and integrating the data obtained with different approaches in different model systems for different types of epigenetic changes. The Division of Aging Biology (DAB) and the Division of Neuroscience (DN) plan to conduct an Advisory Workshop on Epigenetics of Aging in August, 2012. The goals of this workshop are to evaluate the status of the field, to define future directions, to evaluate critical needs, and to outline opportunities for the basic research in this area supported by NIA.
Contact(s): Dr. Max Guo, DAB, 301/496-6402; Dr. Jose Velazquez, DAB, 301/496-6402; Dr. Suzana Petanceska, DN, 301/496-9350.
The Role of Inflammation in Age-Related Disease - September 6-7, 2012
The elderly comprise the fastest growing segment of our population and aging itself is the largest single risk factor for most chronic diseases. However, the mechanistic bases for age-associated functional deficits are not well understood and the translation of basic research discoveries to clinical applications is lagging. The overarching goal of the Geroscience Interest Group (GSIG) is to identify major cross-cutting areas of research and coordinate approaches to identify hurdles and envision solutions. This workshop will bring together a group of research experts to highlight the multiple aspects of inflammation-associated disease processes of aging. Its primary objective is to generate unscripted discussions to identify emerging areas of aging biology that crosscut all scientific areas, compelling research questions that aren't being addressed, and activities needed to accelerate research in aging biology. The proceedings of the workshop will be shared with the scientific community at large through the publication of a meeting report and, most notably, they will provide the foundation for the development of trans-NIH initiatives to promote research on basic biology of aging and its relationship to earlier life events, exposures, and diseases.
We propose an advisory workshop to be held in September 6-7, 2012 in Bethesda, MD.
Contact: Dr. Felipe Sierra, DAB, 301/496-6402.
First Meeting of Reversibility Network, Bethesda MD – September 10-11, 2012.
This exploratory meeting will be chaired by Dr. David Reiss, BSR contractor, and Steven Suomi, NICHD. This is the first NIA effort to capitalize on recent research on mechanisms that account for the long-term effects of childhood adversity on patterns of healthy and impaired trajectories in aging. (For more information contact Dr. David Reiss or Erica Spotts, 301-402-4156.)
Stress Measurement Workgroup Meeting, California – September 24-25, 2012
This exploratory meeting will present commissioned analyses on longitudinal data on aging stress and health based on the workgroup's newly developed common conceptual framework for stress measurement. (For more information contact Dr. Lis Nielsen, 301-402-4156.)
Meeting on Dual Eligibles (Common Fund Health Economics Initiative), Bethesda MD – September 2012
This exploratory one-day expert meeting/workshop is proposed to support Health Economics (HE) Workgroup efforts to provide leadership and guidance to the field about needed advances in the economics of personalized health care and prevention. The meeting will be held in the Bethesda MD area and will include approximately 6-8 invited experts. The meeting will consist of author presentations of approximately 4-5 commissioned papers, discussant presentations responding to those papers, and guided discussion among all participants. Members of the HE Workgroup, as well as selected additional NIH and other Federal staff members will also attend and have the opportunity to participate in discussions. For more information contact Dr. Partha Bhattacharyya, 301-496-3138.)
Microbiomes in Biology of Aging - September, 2012
NIH Roadmap started funding the Human Microbiome Project in 2008. Now 4885 bacterial and viral strains sequenced are from human airways, blood, eye, GI tract, heart, lymph node, oral, cavity, skin, urogenital tract, and other parts of body. In addition to the sequencing of many microbiomes and tool development, fifteen demonstration projects have been funded to demonstrate hypothesized correlations between the microbiome and human health and disease. However, none of these projects focuses on aging. To take advantages of the resources and tools developed by Roadmap HMP, we propose a workshop to discuss the status of the field and opportunities on studies of microbiome and aging. The proposed 1-day workshop may identify effective strategies to stimulate research on changes of microbiomes during aging and the effects on aging-related conditions and diseases.
We propose an exploratory workshop to be held in September, 2012 in Bethesda, MD.
Contact: Dr. Max Guo, DAB, 301/496-6402.
Impact Inflammation on Wound Healing and Fibrosis with Aging - Summer, 2012
An exploratory workshop is being planned for 2012 to examine the role of chronic inflammation in the development of fibrotic lesions in various organs with aging and also in impaired wound healing that is observed in aging. The participants will be asked to give a state of the science presentation in their respective areas and to identify key questions for future focus. Tissue fibrosis is a major cause of progressive organ failure and is a leading cause of morbidity in older individuals. Fibrotic disorders affect different organ systems including the cardiovascular system, the liver, kidneys and lungs. Fibrosis is an adaptive physiological response to epithelial/endothelial injury and is self limited in normal wound healing. However, the process can become pathological when it becomes a progressive process that impedes normal tissue homeostasis. The mechanisms that link aging and fibrosis are not understood but it is thought that the development of the inflammatory phenotype contributes to the increased occurrence of fibrotic disorders with age. The role of senescent cells in this process is beginning to be appreciated as they are capable of modifying neighboring and remote cells through the production of an altered secretome which may contribute to a chronic inflammatory state and resultant increase in fibrosis.
We plan to hold an exploratory workshop for 1 ½ days in summer, 2012 in Bethesda, MD.
Contact(s): Drs. Rebecca Fuldner/John Williams, DAB, 301/496-6402.
Neurodegenerative Disease – Summer 2012
For this exploratory workshop, the Division of Neuroscience and Division of Aging Biology, NIA will bring together experts from three domains: investigators with expertise in "aging biology," in "brain aging," and those with expertise in developing animal models for "Alzheimer's disease (AD)". We will assemble leaders who will focus on the interface and intersection of potential biochemical pathways involved in aging with those pathways implicated in neurodegeneration and, more specifically with AD. Questions that will be addressed include: How can genetic models of aging be integrated with genetic models of AD? Do "aging" and "neurodegeneration" share common mechanisms and what insights for additional research might be gained by such a discussion? Topics will include: AD – conditional/inducible knockout (KO) or knock-in (KI) models; alternative genetic approaches to gene targeting and modification (e.g. zinc-finger nucleases); the impact of aging on the brain's milieu and its subsequent impact on neuronal and glial function and selective vulnerability; genetics of aging; telomerase and mitochondria; cellular senescence and P16-Ink4a; cellular senescence and the senescence-associated secretory pattern; autophagy; insulin signaling, mTor and sirtuins; protein homeostasis and toxicity; brain aging neurodegeneration; and AD and aged models.
Public-Private-Partnerships for Animal Model Resources for Translational Research – Fall 2012
The Division of Neuroscience, NIA will convene an advisory workshop to be held in Bethesda, MD which will focus on the creation of new public-private partnership(s) to provide resources and infrastructure for full characterization of existing animal models and the development of new target-based models without any intellectual property barriers, development of translatable preclinical biomarkers, and enabling preclinical efficacy testing of interventions using best practices and standard operating procedures (including the creation of preclinical testing data repository). The workshop will convene representatives from industry, academia, private foundations, FDA and the NIH.

Utah's gymnastics team was determined to finish its regular season with its best performance of the year. Boy, did it ever.
The No. 7 Utes, fresh off a big road loss, pulled off the upset of the season Saturday as they edged No. 2 Florida 198.125-197.875 in front of 14,930 at the Huntsman Center.
The win not only preserves Utah's undefeated home record and stops a two-meet losing streak to the Gators, but also puts Utah (10-2-1) in perfect position heading into the Pac-12 Championships at Oregon State.
The Utes hosted the event last year but were denied the school's first Pac-12 title when UCLA edged them 197.425-197.375.
But the way Utah competed Saturday, they have to be thought of as a serious threat in next week's event.
"We're at a good point right now," said junior Tory Wilson, in a slight understatement. "We want to keep it going and just do our stuff."
Their stuff was good enough to beat the mighty Gators, who just two weeks ago earned the highest score in the country this season with a 198.425.
That the Utes were just a few tenths short of that mark was a surprise given Utah's inconsistency this year, especially after losing top gymnast Corrie Lothrop.
But the Utes finally competed like they practiced Saturday. They used season highs on nearly every event to beat the Gators, who lost despite not having a single fall.
"I kept thinking throughout the meet what a great college gymnastics meet it was," Utah coach Greg Marsden said. "This is why fans come to these. Two good teams going back and forth and neither one giving away much to the other, and the meet comes down to the last performer or two what a great experience."
The Utes trailed the Gators 49.55-49.45 after the first rotation, then used a 49.6 on the uneven bars to overtake them. Utah's rotation was highlighted by Georgia Dabritz's 10.0, the first of her career.
The fact that Nansy Damianova fell before her didn't bother Dabritz, she said.
"We were more relaxed than ever," she said. "Normally at the beginning we tighten up. For me, it's one of the more nerve-wracking events, but tonight I relaxed and just let it flow."
Marsden has maintained Utah's issues on the uneven bars have been more mental than physical, a hunch proved right by Saturday's effort.
"That is the bars team we see in the gym all the time," he said. "Sometimes you want it so badly, you can try too hard to be perfect and it gets them into trouble. They were much more relaxed and confident tonight."
Utah carried the momentum from the bars into the balance beam, where it earned a 49.425. The score was good enough to give Utah a 148.475-148.375 edge going into the final rotation.
Normally such a margin is good enough for the Utes to win at home, but nothing was guaranteed against the Gators, who set a school-record 49.6 on the balance beam in their last meet.
But the Utes weren't going to be denied, with every gymnast scoring 9.875 or higher. Becky Tutka locked up the win when she scored a 9.975.
The Utes finished with a 49.65 on the floor, while Florida had a 49.5 on the beam.
So can the Utes keep up their confidence next week? Utah will be going up against some of the best teams in the country, including host Oregon State, which is ranked No. 9, but Dabritz for one likes the Utes' chances.
"We've been taking a step forward each meet," she said. "We just have to continue that."
Utah 198.125,Florida 197.875
O IN SHORT • Utah's gymnastics team snaps a two-meet losing streak to Florida by upsetting the Gators.
KEY MOMENT • Becky Tutka earns a 9.975 on the floor to clinch the meet for the Utes.
KEY STAT • Utah scores a season high on every event except the vault.
Individual winners
Vault • Tory Wilson (Utah) and Kytra Hunter (Florida), 9.975
Uneven bars • Georgia Dabritz (Utah), 10.0
Balance beam • Bridget Sloan (Florida), 9.95
Floor • Becky Tutka (Utah) and Georgia Dabritz (Utah), 9.975
All-around • Bridget Sloan (Florida) and Georgia Dabritz (Utah), 39.7

This Week's Reading
What We're Loving: Mouly, Minneapolis, MariéBy The Paris Review
I've been marveling over Jeet Heer's In Love with Art, a monograph on Françoise Mouly, an editor (The New Yorker, RAW) and publisher whose significance has long been underappreciated. Trust Heer not to make that mistake; he credits Mouly as having had "as massive and transformative an impact on comics as Ezra Pound had on modernist literature, Max Perkins on early-twentieth-century American novels or Gordon Lish on contemporary fiction." No small claim, but Mouly is truly without peer. She made her way through the male-dominated comics scene by helping to carve out a place for that work in the world. She not only edited and designed and colored the covers of RAW, she manned the presses. In fact, the photographs of Mouly helming the Multilith press she and Spiegelman had in their loft are pretty great. What can't she do? —Nicole Rudick
I was the last of three siblings to move to New York—and was very much a beneficiary, when I finally arrived, of my brother and sister's having made a familial haunt of B&H, the longstanding East Village diner. (Never been? Brave the cold and treat yourself to a bowl of New York's very best borscht.) I came upon a brief history of the place this week on Jeremiah's Vanishing New York, which features photos from the collection of Florence Bergson Goldberg (the daughter of founder Abie Bergson—the "B" of B&H) and reminiscences from longtime counterman Leo Ratnofsky. Profiled in a Talk of the Town piece in 1978, Ratnofsky had this to say on the last morning of his thirty-eight-year stint: "I don't feel bad about leaving the place. I've got bad feet, my fingernails are being eaten away from squeezing oranges. But to leave all these people—that makes me feel like crying. These actors and actresses, the hippies, the yippies, the beatniks, the bohemians, people who've run away from God knows where—I've always felt an attraction to them. Especially the starving ones." —Stephen Hiltner
Purple Snow is a four-LP salute to the progenitors of the Minneapolis Sound, a brand of synth-driven R&B that came bounding out of the City of Lakes in the late seventies—it was a flurry of creativity that culminated in the rise of Prince and the propulsive, eminently danceable pop of the eighties. Jon Kirby wrote the compilation's prodigious liner notes, which come in a handsome clothbound book (purple, of course). Full of photographs and interviews, the notes are smart and disarmingly personal: they tell the story of an ambitious, competitive, and deeply intimate community of musicians who left an indelible mark on music, even if only one of them went on to superstardom. —Dan Piepenbring Read More

I came across this on a forum on a different website, now I know it's about Kickboxing but please take the 30 seconds and read it. I work across all live combat sports and have a good overview of what is going on with them, what I see is that regardless of what discipline you train/fight/follow they are all similar in the fact they are their own worst enemies when it comes to progressing the chosen sport.
I can't help but see the similarities between the statement below and MMA as it stands today. Am I right or wrong? Or is MMA, the newest combat sport out there, destined to follow in the foot steps and repeat the mistakes of every other older sport.
Does MMA need to change its ways?
Can it change?
Will it change?
Will apathy and infighting keep it down like every other combat sport?
Kickboxing - a definition:
* A sport that had the potential to be the sport of the 80's, then the 90's, then the noughties
* A sport that had the potential to be as big as any other combat sport out there.
* A sport that had the potential to do a 'UFC' before UFC.
* A sport that badly needed legislation and regulation to progress and survive, but the majority didn't want it.
* A sport that was full of many good professional people from other walks of life who were prepared to put their skills and resources into development, but lost them.
* A sport that required unity and co-operation in order to progress and not die.
* A sport that needed sacrifice from the majority in order to build it for future generations - but didn't get it.
* A sport now so saturated with people doing their 'own thing' but still blaming others for it's demise because,laughably - the 'bigger' people in the game have been too greedy.
* A sport where the good only remain in clusters working with the minority of people who do want things right, but unfortunately those clusters are still fragmented.
* A sport where, despite all of the above, is still hosting more and more tin pot, make the rules up as you go events every weekend. Offering title shots to fighters who are 1-6 but can sell a ticket. Thus dazzling the eyes of star struck coaches and fighters who can only see the silverware.
* A sport that is held up only by the small amount of decent brands at the top end,in the middle and at entry level whilst being worn down into oblivion by the rest who have no plan for after lunch, let alone the next 5 or 10 years
I could continue - but that'll do it......

Interstitial (in-tur-STISH-ul) lung disease describes a large group of disorders characterized by progressive scarring of the lung tissue between and supporting the air sacs. The scarring associated with interstitial lung disease may cause progressive lung stiffness, eventually affecting your ability to breathe and get enough oxygen into your bloodstream.
Interstitial lung disease may be broadly categorized into known and unknown causes. Common known causes include autoimmune or rheumatologic diseases, occupational and organic exposures, medications, and radiation. Interstitial lung disease of unknown cause is predominated by idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a specific and progressive fibrotic lung disease, followed by the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, such as nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), and sarcoidosis.
Once lung scarring occurs, it's generally irreversible. Medications may slow the damage of interstitial lung disease, but many people never regain full use of their lungs. Lung transplant is an option for some people who have worsening interstitial lung disease despite treatment.
The primary signs and symptoms of interstitial lung disease include:
By the time symptoms appear, irreversible lung damage may have already occurred. Nevertheless, it's important to see your doctor at the first sign of breathing problems. Many conditions other than interstitial lung disease can affect your lungs, and getting an early and accurate diagnosis is important for proper treatment.
Interstitial lung disease may occur when an injury to your lungs triggers an abnormal healing response. Ordinarily, your body generates just the right amount of tissue to repair damage. But in interstitial lung disease, the repair process goes awry and the tissue around the air sacs (alveoli) becomes scarred and thickened. This makes it more difficult for oxygen to pass into your bloodstream.
Interstitial lung disease can be triggered by many things — including autoimmune diseases, exposure to organic and inorganic agents in the home or workplace, medications, and some types of radiation. In some cases, the cause is unknown.
Long-term exposure to a number of organic and inorganic materials and agents can damage your lungs. These include:
Many drugs can damage your lungs, especially:
Some people who have radiation therapy for lung or breast cancer show signs of lung damage months or sometimes years after the initial treatment. The severity of the damage depends on:
Lung damage can be associated with the following autoimmune diseases:
After extensive evaluation and testing, an explicit cause may not be found. Disorders without a known cause are grouped together under the label of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, which are tissue-based classifications.
Factors that may make you more susceptible to interstitial lung disease include:
Interstitial lung disease can lead to a series of life-threatening complications, including:
You'll probably first bring your symptoms to the attention of your family doctor. He or she may refer you to a pulmonologist — a doctor who specializes in lung disorders. Testing generally includes a variety of blood tests, a CT scan of the chest and pulmonary function testing.
Before your appointment, you might want to write a list that answers the following questions:
If your primary care physician had a chest X-ray done as part of your initial evaluation, bring that with you when you see a pulmonologist. It will help the pulmonologist make a diagnosis if he or she can compare an old chest X-ray with the results of a current X-ray. The actual X-ray image is more important to your doctor than is the report alone. CT scans of your chest also may have been done, and those should also be requested.
Your doctor will do a thorough history and examination, and review important testing you may have had done prior to your visit. If necessary, your doctor may obtain further X-rays, blood work or breathing test, and perhaps discuss with you the possibility of obtaining a tissue sample.
Identifying and determining the cause of interstitial lung disease can be challenging. A portion of disorders may fall into this broad category. In addition, the signs and symptoms of a wide range of medical conditions can mimic interstitial lung disease, and doctors must rule these out before making a definitive diagnosis. Some of the following tests may be necessary.
Often, pulmonary fibrosis can be better defined by examining a small amount of lung tissue (biopsy) in a laboratory. The tissue sample may be obtained in one of these ways:
The lung scarring that occurs in interstitial lung disease is often irreversible, and treatment will not always be effective in stopping the ultimate progression of the disease. Some treatments may improve symptoms temporarily or slow disease progress. Others help improve quality of life. Because many of the different types of scarring disorders have no approved or proven therapies, clinical studies may be an option to receive an experimental treatment.
Depending on the underlying cause of interstitial lung disease, treatments fall into two categories: anti-inflammatories or anti-fibrotics. Interstitial lung disease that has a known inflammatory or autoimmune process may benefit from initial anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressing medications. If there is a known exposure, avoiding the inciting agent is a first step to treatment. Specifically for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, there are two medications now available for slowing the scarring process. Your doctor may work with other doctors, such as a rheumatologist or cardiologist, to optimize your care.
Using oxygen can't stop lung damage, but it can:
You're most likely to receive oxygen when you sleep or exercise, although some people may use it round-the-clock.
Lung transplantation may be an option of last resort for people with severe interstitial lung disease who haven't benefited from other treatment options.
Being actively involved in your own treatment and staying as healthy as possible are essential to living with interstitial lung disease. For that reason, it's important to:
Living with a chronic lung disease is emotionally and physically challenging. Your daily routines and activities may need to be adjusted, sometimes radically, as breathing problems worsen or health care needs take priority in your life. Feelings of fear, anger and sadness are normal as you grieve for the loss of your old life and worry about what's next for you and your family.
Share your feelings with your loved ones and your doctor. Talking openly may help you and your loved ones cope with the emotional challenges of your disease. In addition, clear communication will help you and your family plan effectively for your needs if your disease progresses.
You may also want to consider joining a support group, where you can talk to people who are facing challenges similar to yours. Group members may share coping strategies, exchange information about new treatment or simply listen as you express your feelings. If a group isn't for you, you may wish to talk with a counselor in a one-on-one setting.

mysft your right to a point. yes biting can be useful when you first start out. to HELP and get INSPIRATION.
posting practically someone elses exact letters then tryin to win a battle with them. is jus a fuckin silly thing to do. you take shapes, bits, bars etc. then apply them to progressing your own style. newbies taking exact letters doesnt help anyone. at all. because they still dont learn how the letter works. they learn people think that particular writers letters are 'dope'. bite. and end up not properly progressin. because they start to rely on others letters. like learning handstands against a wall. after a while, you end up relyin on the wall. and jus hurt yourself when you take the wall away.
basically. writers work for years to get a style, then some random newbie comes along thinks its 'dope' then gets props for doin a google image search and copyin out some letters is jus fucked up.
bitings wrong. inspect and apply.
fuckit im witterin...

Is the supermarket destined for the dustbin of history? Will some of the most profitable bulk vending locations cease to exist in the coming years?
Some marketers are predicting that e-commerce will take a large bite out of the traditional supermarkets. If this seems far-fetched, retail experts suggest taking a look at what online shopping did to the bookstores and electronics outlets over the past decade. To be sure, Amazon is getting into the food-delivery business with AmazonFresh, as is Wal-Mart.
Two new concepts have already added convenience for shoppers. The first is home delivery services, not unlike those offered by FreshDirect, Stop & Shop's Peapod and other online grocery operations, which require trucks and distribution centers. The second combines traditional supermarkets with online shopping, and offers curbside pickup and payment for busy consumers; orders made at home are fulfilled and waiting at a designated time in front of the store.
The Pentagon is testing a new curbside pickup program for active duty military personnel and their families. The Click2Go program allows military customers to place orders online and then pick them up outside a base's commissary. At present time, the Click2Go program is being tested at Fort Lee, VA, with expansion set for bases in California and Nevada in the coming months.
Online sales of groceries are expected to grow more than 12% annually through 2017, while projections for traditional grocery stores will inch up only 0.2%. The trend is not limited to the U.S. South Korea has pioneered online grocery shopping with bar-coded billboards in which consumers scan items with their smartphones. And there are "virtual supermarkets" where aisles are filled with images and barcodes. | SEE STORY
For bulk vending operators who have long depended on the vestibules of local supermarkets, the change in consumer shopping habits could be profound. Whether the trend catches on and how fast retailers adapt remains to be seen.

USC's 'Architects of Dance' showcase works of world-renowned choreographers
Contact: Frenche Brewer 803-777-5400 email@example.com
Works by three of the dance world's best-known choreographers will have members of the audience swaying in their seats at the University of South Carolina Dance Company's "Architects of Dance" concert 7:30 p.m. Nov. 10 – 11.
The choreography of Tony Award-winner Twyla Tharp, contemporary ballet choreographer George Balanchine and Marius Petipa the prolific French choreographer and the father of classical ballet, will be featured at the event, set for the Koger Center for the Arts.
The highlight of the evening will be "Eight Jelly Rolls" by Tharp, whose dances are known for creativity, wit and technical precision coupled with a streetwise nonchalance. Tharp pays homage to the suave jazz compositions of Jelly Roll Morton, the popular ragtime and early jazz pianist and bandleader. American social dances, such as "The Charleston," "Susie Q" and the "Black Bottom" also will be featured.
Rehearsal director Kiyomi Mercadante Marple said, "The beauty of this entire work is that it requires that each dancer define for himself the choreography of the piece from beginning to end. It is my job to go through it all bit-by-bit and ensure that everyone is moving authentically, according to his body, rhythms and steps."
Senior dance major Caitlin McCormack, one of three soloists in the piece, said the free form nature of Tharp's choreography isn't as easy as it looks.
"Not only are you trying to execute the difficult movement precisely, but your mind is racing a million miles a minute paying attention to what the other dancers are doing and reacting to that."
"I am thrilled that the Tharp Foundation awarded us the opportunity to perform this piece, and I am confident that each of the dancers involved has gained an awareness that he has never experienced before," said Mercadante Marple.
Balanchine's "Valse Fantasie" and Petipa's "Paquita" provide a marked contrast to Tharp's open approach.
Utilizing the framework of a standard waltz, "Valse Fantasie" contrasts graceful upper body movements with quick jumps to create a lively and romantic mood. The piece was one of the earliest works of George Balanchine, who was co-founder and ballet master of the New York City Ballet.
Rehearsal director Stacey Calvert said the lush, classically based piece "is important for students because it teaches them musicality, fast foot work and athleticism, all of which are characteristics of Balanchine choreography." "Paquita" was the first work staged in Russia by famed choreographer Petipa and tells the tale of a girl who is rescued by gypsies from a massacre and is reunited with her family. The classical piece is a standard in Petipa's legendary canon, which includes masterpieces such as "Giselle" and "La Bayadére."
Rounding out the evening will be Dance Director Susan Anderson's spirited ballet, "Gams Jam," which she premiered at the university in 1982. The work takes its inspiration from George Gershwin's music. Anderson recently reworked the second movement with faculty member Kerri Lambert. "When I see how wonderful the choreography has progressed on such brilliant and technically proficient dancers, I realize how far we have come as a dance program," Anderson said.
Tickets are $16 for the general public, $14 for USC faculty and staff, military and seniors and $10 for students. Tickets can be purchased at the Carolina Coliseum box office or by calling 803-251-2222. Tickets can also be charged by phone at 803-777-5112.

How far your point blank?
Hello friends,
my technique is a mix of instinctive (up to 30-35 yds) and gap shooting (from 35 to 65 yds, my max shooting distance until now)
I currently shoot a 41# @ 28" t/d recurve (Jordan Stalker, US-made custom bow) with 290 grs carbon arrows (780 ICS energy, 80 grs point, 3" shield natural feathers). I shoot off the shelf, my draw lenght is about 27,5".
My anchoring is the traditional one, with split fingers and middle finger on mouth corner.
My point blank distance (where my arrow point is in the spot at full draw) is now about 50 yards. To increase it (which would be useful because my archery federation shots are up to 60 yds) I should do one of the following:
a) increase my bow weight (e.g. going up to 50 lbs or more)
b) reduce my arrow weight (e.g. switching to 900 shafts with 60 grs point) but my grs/lbs ratio is already quite low, about 7
I wonder which is the point blank distance of gap shooters more esperienced than I am
Thanks in advance,
from Italy

Girardi praises Murphy's demeanor behind the dish
NEW YORK -- John Ryan Murphy got the nod behind the plate Sunday for the Yankees, giving the rookie catcher his second start in three days -- more along the lines of the workload the club envisioned for the 22-year-old when spring camp broke, only with the parent club.
Manager Joe Girardi has repeatedly said Murphy first impressed the team during last season's September callup, but he wanted Murphy back in the Minors this season to get everyday time.
Francisco Cervelli's mid-April injury prevented that, forcing the Yankees to promote Murphy, who has continued to impress in his second stint with the big league club.
"To never see a young catcher get rattled is fairly unusual, in the sense of the game speeding up for a young catcher," Girardi said. "When I watch him back there, he's calm, he knows exactly what he wants to do. He does the things he needs to do: He frames pitches, he blocks pitches, he throws well, he calls a good game. He's a real student of the game. And he puts up good at-bats."
Murphy, a second-round pick in the 2009 First-Year Player Draft, entered Sunday's finale hitting .313 (5-for-16). He had an extra-base hit in each of his past two starts -- his first career home run on April 26 against the Angels and a double as he caught the first nine frames of Friday's 14-inning loss against the Rays.
"It wasn't that we didn't think he was a big league catcher when camp broke, we just didn't want him necessarily catching once every five or six days," Girardi said. "We wanted to continue his development, but that has to take place here."

With a wide array of netbooks coming out, many are using ARM processors over the intel atom. I am specifically talking about the touch book from always innovating. I think that this would be a great hack machine for many reasons. But BT has not yet been ported to ARM, and I lack the skill and know-how to do so. Debian is supported on ARMs, so I wouldn't think it should be so hard for someone more skilled than me to do so. If I knew how to do this this would be what I was doing in spanish class (as opposed to actual spanish work.) for all of you guys. Not to mention that this would pave the way to BT on ipod/iphones, cell phones, and PDAs. That way we could finally have an ipod like the guy did in national treasure, and steal all sorts of valuables from large museums.
If I am being completely unreasonable, please correct me.
