It may appear easy to brush off such a concern these days after seeing Kobe Bryant play this season as if he's in his prime.
But there was a reason Bryant remained in a joyful mood after the Lakers' 104-87 win Friday over the Portland Trail Blazers despite ending his 10-game stretch in which he scored at least 30 points.
"I got some much-needed rest," said Bryant, who played a season-low 31 minutes and sat out the entire fourth quarter. "It feels good."
Bryant hasn't had such a luxury this season.
He's averaged a league-leading 30.1 points in 38.7 minutes per game, slightly above the 38.5 minutes per game he averaged last season. Both numbers are also a stark increase from the 33.9 minutes he averaged in the 2009-10 campaign.
Bryant has maintained he can log such heavy minutes because of his offseason training that entailed playing in the 2012 London Olympics and losing 16 pounds. The Lakers (15-15) also have frequently taken days off between games, including Saturday, helping the 34-year-old guard's recovery process.
Before the season started, however, Bryant said he'd hope to play 32-34 minutes per game.
"We want to save legs as much as possible," said Bryant, who's played at least 40 minutes in 13 games. "It's very critical."
Out of sight
In the past 13 days, Antawn Jamison jumped from being one of the Lakers' focal reserves to a bench warmer.
Jamison missed the past five games. Even in the Lakers' victory over the Trail Blazers on Friday, Jamison stayed there while seldom-used bench players Robert Sacre, Earl Clark and Devin Ebanks played garbage time.
"It doesn't make sense at all," Jamison said in an interview with this newspaper. "They're pretty much telling me my services are no longer needed."
Jamison was signed by the Lakers this offseason to a one-year deal worth the veteran's minimum ($1.4 million) with clear understanding his career 19.2 points per game might drop.
But he hardly envisioned falling out of the rotation.
Shortly after the Lakers fired Mike Brown, Jamison's role expanded under coach Mike D'Antoni. He posted a season-high 33 points against Denver on Nov. 30 and then averaged 12.3 points over the next four games. Jamison has averaged 7.2 points per game through 25 contests this season, including five as a starter.
D'Antoni rationalized Jamison's absence against Portland more out of respect for the 15-year NBA veteran.
"I want him to feel comfortable when he goes in and not play garbage time," D'Antoni said. "He's too good of a pro and has been around too long."
D'Antoni sat Jamison in other games for different reasons. D'Antoni prefers Metta World Peace as a backup power forward behind Pau Gasol because of his offensive and defensive consistency.
D'Antoni has used reserve Jordan Hill at center to relieve Gasol and Dwight Howard because of his energy and defensive hustle. Even though Jamison's scoring helps stretch the floor, he's struggled on defense.
"We don't want to lose Antawn because he does what he does," D'Antoni said.
"Antawn's ready to roll if we need him."
Yet, Jamison suggested D'Antoni hasn't explained that thought process directly.
"Nothing has been told to me," Jamison said. "We'll keep it in house, but it's frustrating. You know you can help the team out and want to help the team out. But it's not going that way. I'll continue to work hard and do what's asked of me to do."
Unlikely presenter
With Jamaal Wilkes becoming the eighth Lakers player to have his jersey retired and hang in the Staples Center rafters, Bryant was naturally asked about his inevitable ceremony.
Who would present Bryant with his jersey?
Sporting a mischievous grin, Bryant named a former adversary.
"I'd probably force Shaq to do it," Bryant said.

Snow Patrol's Greatest Hits on TouchTunes
On May 28, 2013, TouchTunes launched a national promotion for Snow Patrol's Greatest Hits album. Featuring tracks from the band's 2003 album Final Straw, 2006's Eyes Open, 2008's A Hundred Million Suns and 2012's Fallen Empires, the album will be the first Greatest Hits package from the multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated band. A newly edited version of Snow Patrol's single, the sixteen minute "The Lightning Strike" called "The Lightning Strike (What If This Storm Ends?)" is also featured. Comprised of Gary Lightbody, Nathan Connolly, Paul Wilson, Jonny Quinn and Tom Simpson, UK-based Snow Patrol first debuted in 1998 with the UK-only indie record Songs For Polarbears and broke internationally upon the release of Final Straw. Snow Patrol's Greatest Hits features 14 of the band's most notorious anthems including "Run," "Chasing Cars" and "Open Your Eyes."
Starting May 21, 2013, TouchTunes began featuring Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' hit single, "Can't Hold Us," from their debut album, The Heist. Ben Haggerty, better known by the stage name Macklemore, began independently releasing music in 2000 and started working with producer Ryan Lewis in 2008. Their collaboration on the single "Thrift Shop" skyrocketed the duo to international fame; the song reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, sold over 2 million copies and has been celebrated for over 300 million YouTube views. Their debut full length release, The Heist, came out in 2012 and shot to #1 on the US iTunes Albums chart just hours after its release. "Can't Hold Us" is Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' follow up anthem and has been called a "massive summer hit." The music video for the track premiered on April 17, 2013 and already has over 28 million views on YouTube.
On May 21, 2013, TouchTunes launched a national promotion for Grammy Award-winning duo Daft Punk's highly anticipated new album, Random Access Memories. Eagerly awaited by the band's fans for over eight years since their 2005 release, Human After All, Random Access Memories is Daft Punk's fourth studio album and has already been met by critical acclaim. A departure from the band's signature electronic approach, Random Access Memories echoes sounds from late 1970s American music and utilizes live instrumentation from session musicians. The album's lead track, "Get Lucky," features rap superstar Pharrell Williams and will surely become another triumph for Daft Punk.
May 14, 2013, Trace Adkins eleventh studio album, Love Will…, made its debut on TouchTunes. The album features several guest appearances including Colbie Caillat, Exile and the Harlem Gospel Choir. Adkins first made a splash on the country scene in 1995 with his debut album, Dreamin' Out Loud. Twelve years, 10 studio albums and over 20 hit singles later, Adkins boasts four Grammy nominations, three Academy of Country Music Awards and two CMT Awards. The country superstar has also made multiple film and TV appearances, including featured roles in The Lincoln Lawyer and Lifted, as well King of the Hill and Celebrity Apprentice respectively. Trace Adkins is currently touring through January 2014. For tour dates, visit http://www.traceadkins.com/wired/event/.
Starting May 14, 2013, TouchTunes began promoting The Boxer Rebellion's fourth studio album, Promises. Formed in London in 2001, the quartet released their eponymous EP in 2003, which included the indie band's first commercial hit single, "Watermelon." Since then, The Boxer Rebellion has released three studio albums including Union, which was voted Best Alternative Album by iTunes in 2009. In addition, the band has enjoyed a multitude of on screen sync placements on various TV shows including The Vampire Diaries, Grey's Anatomy, One Tree Hill and CSI, as well as in the films Going The Distance and The Art of Getting By. Promises will be led by the single "Diamonds," which has been described as "a hi-fi, soaring piece of work that truly delivers on the band's epic, signature sound." The album will be supported via a North American tour, and in addition, The Boxer Rebellion will perform at the British Summer Time concert festival at Hyde Park in London July 6, headlined by The Rolling Stones.

Fewer Utah teens are getting pregnant.
The State Department of Health reports this week, the number of girls -- age 15 to 19 -- getting pregnant in the state has fallen 28 percent over the past seven years.
Health officials say the local trend follows what's happening across the country.
They say the state is providing more sex education materials than in the past -- but, the admit they aren't sure what is causing the teen pregnancy decline in Utah.

MWL notes: Healthy Almora on tear06/13/2013 6:00 AM ET
By Curt Rallo / Special to MLB.com
Picking up a bat and taking that first true swing of Spring Training is a special moment for a baseball player.
But when Albert Almora took that first, sweet cut of Spring Training, pain shot through his left wrist.
Almora, taken in the first round of the Draft last season by the Chicago Cubs (sixth overall), immediately knew his Spring Training was headed for a detour. The 6-foot-2, 180-pound 19-year-old outfielder from Hialeah, Fla., was diagnosed with a broken hamate bone in his left wrist. He was sidelined for six weeks after surgery to repair his wrist.
"The doctor told me that it was broken for more than a year," Almora said of the small bone. "I first felt it on my first swing in Spring Training. I felt a really bad pain. The medical staff took an X-ray and they discovered the break. There would be some days last year where my hand would be sore, but it wasn't every day. It wasn't until Spring Training where it really hurt."
Almora, ranked as the Cubs' No. 2 prospect by MLB.com, tackled rehab with a passion. He was given the news that he would be able to play for Kane County on May 21, and has been tearing up the Midwest League since his arrival. Almora is hitting .413 (31-of-75) in 18 games.
"Rehab was great for my body, but it was really bad for my mind," said Almora, the MVP of the Pan-Am Games for the USA Baseball 18-and-Under team in 2011. "I'd see everybody go out and practice and play, and I had to stay in and rehab. It definitely wasn't good. But I rehabbed really hard so I could come back as soon as possible, because I was really itching to get out there."
Almora said that he feels great physically and at the plate.
"I just want to come out here and try to help my team win in any way, shape or form," Almora said. "I felt good in Arizona and extended spring. I came here and I'm playing my game, and I'm lucky it's been going great so far."
According to Almora, there has been no holding back since being given the green light.
"Once the doctors gave me the okay, that I was healthy enough to play, I was going to go 110 percent," Almora said. "That's just the way I go. Fortunately, everything I hit has been falling for me.
"I just try to go out there and put contact on the ball," he added. "I just try to keep things simple. I don't want to complicate my swing too much. I just want to have fun and let the game play out."
Cubs' director of player development Brandon Hyde said that Almora showed a lot of maturity in dealing with the injury.
"Albert worked very hard in Arizona on his rehab," Hyde said. "He has a lot of maturity for a 19-year-old kid. He's a very special player. The maturity is something we saw in him that really impressed us."
Hyde said that Almora has great potential in the Cubs organization.
"Albert is a great hitter," Hyde said. "And he's got Major League defensive skills. He's been impressive in a lot of areas for us."
In brief
Vasquez returns: Anthony Vasquez, who underwent emergency brain surgery last November, pitched five innings for Clinton in his return to the mound on June 10th. An 18th-round Draft pick by the Mariners in 2009, Vasquez underwent a five-and-a-half-hour life-saving surgery after being diagnosed with ruptured vein in his brain. Vasquez was called up to the majors by the Mariners in 2011, going 1-6 with an 8.90 ERA. He was with Triple-A Tacoma in 2012 until a shoulder injury ended his season. Against Wisconsin in his return, Vasquez gave up four runs -- two earned -- on five hits in five innings.
TinCaps sizzling: Fort Wayne boasts a nine-game winning streak and have been sizzling after a late-May five-game losing streak. Since ending its tailspin on May 26, the TinCaps are 15-1.
Camp to Kane County: Chicago Cubs pitcher Shawn Camp, sidelined with a toe injury, pitched one inning for Kane County on Tuesday night and will pitch another on Friday night. In his one inning of relief, Camp retired two batters on groundouts (both on the first pitch) and recorded a strikeout. There were two errors committed by Kane County in the inning. Camp is a Midwest League alum, having played for Clinton in 1998.

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.-The Tornados struggled to find offense on Wednesday afternoon, falling 9-0 to the Division I Gardner-Webb Runnin' Bulldogs at J.H. Moss Stadium.
Brevard righty Zac Joyce (L, 2-5) made the start for the Tornados, and didn't allow an earned run until a three-run 3rd. The Bulldogs grabbed an unearned run in the 1st after a BC fielding error prolonged the inning.
The junior kept BC in the game until a five-run 6th pushed the Bulldogs lead to 9-0. Lefty Kyle Pittman threw the final three innings, allowing an unearned run on two hits and two walks while fanning seven.
Six different pitchers completed the shutout for the Runnin' Bulldogs, with the win going to starter Jacob Walker (W, 2-0) for tossing the first four innings. The Tornados lone hit came in the form of a Kody Spencer single to left center in the 4th inning.
The Tornados continue nonconference road action on Thursday as they visit the Pfeiffer Falcons at Joe Ferebee Field for a 3:30 p.m. first pitch.

What is hepatitis B?
Hepatitis B is a serious disease of the liver caused by a virus. Hepatitis B can lead to severe illness, liver damage, and sometimes death.
How is it spread?
You get hepatitis B by direct contact with blood or certain body fluids, such as semen and vaginal secretions, of a person who has it. For example, you can get it by having sex or by sharing needles with a person who has it. It may also be spread within households if razors, toothbrushes or other items are shared. A baby can get it from its mother during birth. Approximately 25 percent of all persons with hepatitis B have no idea how they got it.
How can hepatitis B be prevented?
There is a very safe and effective vaccine. It is recommended for all children aged 0 months to 18 years and for people who are at risk for hepatitis B (see below).
Who is at risk for hepatitis B?
One out of every 20 people will get hepatitis B some time in their lives. Your risk is higher if you:
What symptoms should I watch for?
Half of all adults do not have any symptoms. It takes between six weeks and six months to get sick after you contract the virus. If you have symptoms, they might be:
Do people usually recover from hepatitis B?
Most adults (90 percent) recover from hepatitis B after several months. They clear the infection from their bodies and become immune. People who are immune will not get hepatitis B again and they cannot pass hepatitis B to others.
Who is a carrier of hepatitis B?
About 10 percent of adults and most children under 5 years old infected with hepatitis B are unable to clear the infection from their bodies. These individuals no longer have symptoms but still carry the virus in their body. A carrier of hepatitis B can infect others. About 1.25 million people in the U.S. carry hepatitis B for life.
Is there any treatment for hepatitis B?
Some people who are carriers have benefited from treatment. Your health care provider can discuss treatment with you.
If you are pregnant, should you worry about hepatitis B?
Pregnant women who are infected with hepatitis B can spread the disease to their babies. Most babies will develop hepatitis B infection if they don't get special medicine and hepatitis B vaccine shortly after birth.

LISTEN: Afrojack reworks 'Rock the House' with 'Rock the Rock'
Listen to Afrojack on iHeartRadio
Afrojack has literally rocked the house with his massive dance floor bomb "Rock the House" at festivals and clubs all over the world, but now he's re-worked his hit track and has given us "Rock the Rock."
"Rock the Rock" actually sounds a bit like rock, but incorporates a robotic sound, and even that famous melody from "Rock the House."
He posts on soundcloud along with the track, "Rework I've done of rock the house inspired our favorite robots old sound." An ode to Daft Punk perhaps?

What I Did This Summer: Field excavation in Israel
"What I Did This Summer" follows a number of University of South Carolina students as they work, travel, and explore the world during the summer. Many of them blogged about their adventures. This is the fourteenth story in the Summer 2010 series.
Some exciting finds were made during the two summers Jacob Damm worked at an archaeological site in Israel.
"The oldest example of Hebrew writing found to date was discovered there last summer," said Damm, a fourth-year student with a double major in religious studies and classical studies.
"The site is called the Khirbet Qeiyafa, and it's just southwest of Jerusalem," he said.
"It was a fortified city on the border with the Philistine territory and a large wall made out of massive stones surrounded it. It was in use at a time when theories say that the Israelites didn't have fortifications like this. There's lots of controversy surrounding the site for this reason, and that makes any work there very, very exciting.
"This summer, the square of land I was excavating had been used as a dumping ground in the Hellenistic period, but two other squares next to me were great," he said. "One was used for cultic practice and had a beautiful altar and ceramic vessels used for pouring libations in cultic practice.
Jacob Damm received a Magellan Scholar grant from the University to conduct his summer 2010 research.
"Another square was the residence of a wealthy person, where we found beautiful weaponry and beautiful jewelry including gold beads," he said. "It also included a small ceramic shrine that was 100 percent intact -- not even a chip. It was a very important find season."
This summer, since he was an experienced member of the team, he helped train one of the newer volunteers at the site.
"I also was in charge of collection and fieldwork for micro-faunul remains analysis," he said. "We took a large dirt sample from a floor level, placed it in a mesh screen, and ran water over it to remove the dirt and dust particles. We then went through the material to look for beads, small animal bones, and small pieces of jewelry."
Damm's work was the field arm of a study being conducted by a Tel Aviv University faculty member.
"We sent him the final product of what was found and he is using that in a paper about how to determine sediment indicators using animal bones."
Damm knew early in his education that he wanted to study history and the ancient world.
"My dream job is to be a college professor during the academic year and a field archaeologist in the summer," he said.
"To be competitive in the field, I'll have to get a Ph.D. Since there is no such thing as a fulltime archaeologist who goes in the field all the time, I will teach courses in archaeology, ancient history, and religious studies. I'm in my third year of ancient Greek, have had one year of intensive study of Hebrew, and am in my second year of German, so I may teach languages, too."

Cove Guardians Libby, Nicole, and Andy enjoy coffee with the local cafe owners and employeesAs the dolphin hunters filed back into harbor this morning after an uneventful day at sea, the Cove Guardians breathed a sigh of relief as we watched from the Mountain Pass. Although today was a fortunate day for dolphins, it was a very tragic day personally as I received an early morning Skype call to inform me that a very close friend had been killed the night before in a car accident. Life, as every living being knows it, can change in an instant or as in the case in Taiji, can be brutally torn away from us. It's true when they say that life is short, not only for humans but for anything living, and every moment should be lived like it is your last.
Today we also said an early goodbye to Cove Guardian Jared, who had to head home early due to cyclone Yasi that is wreaking havoc on Australia. Saying goodbye to people that you have grown close to here in Taiji, Japan is simply part of the job, and being a Cove Guardian consists of emotional difficulties that typically do not exist in the real world. But the support of likeminded people and the amazing friendships that come out of this experience are well worth the tears.
Andy enjoys a quiet moment at the CoveAfter returning from the Cove and dropping Jared off at the train station, Nicole, Andy, and I went for a walk, and ended up at a small outdoor coffee shop. As we sat together, enjoying each other's company and fondly remembering my friend that has passed, the café owner brought us each a pastry on the house. His English was decent and we chatted about where we were from. The ladies working at the café asked if they could take their picture with us and we ended up taking a large group photo and sharing a laugh. The owner asked for our names and we even exchanged e-mail addresses and promised to return often. This unbelievably warm hospitality from complete strangers was something that made a sickeningly horrible day turn into one that will forever be a cherished memory.
Spread the word. Raise awareness. Speak out.
Here is your opportunity to become a Cove Guardian. To join us in Taiji (voluntarily, and completely at your own cost and risk), write to us at firstname.lastname@example.com. We will get back to you, but please be patient. We cannot keep an eye on the Cove and answer e-mails at the same time. Contributions to Sea Shepherd Conservation Society to keep our official presence here are needed and welcome. These contributions cover the costs for transport, telephone, equipment, supplies, food, and lodging for the official Sea Shepherd representative. We will remain here through the end of March and will return for the next season in September 2011.
Thank you to the citizens of Japan who are weighing these issues and beginning to take a stand to solve them. Thank you to everyone who is on the frontlines of this war. This is a war to save ourselves from ourselves. Without your calling and writing Japanese embassies and your own governments, there will be no change. Keep it up! Every time dolphins are pushed into the Cove, let them have it. Every time there is blood in the water, let them have it. Make good consumer choices. Inform everyone you know about the tragedy here and how it is linked to the captive dolphin trade. All who patronize a dolphin show have blood on their hands.
For the dolphins,
Libby Katsinis

Nicole, who will be assisting me during my time in Taiji, will share her experiences on her blog.
Please support our work to save dolphins and ocean life around the globe!

Berklee's Parent Office recognizes that the next few years will often have you stepping into new parenting situations and experiencing a range of transitions as your son or daughter more fully emerges into adulthood.
We know that students often first seek advice from their parents/guardians, and that when you feel informed and confident in the information that you have, you can help your student make the most of his or her college experience. Hence the Parent Office credo: Partnering with Parents for Student Success.
There are a number of free programs for parents, both online and at Berklee. These programs are designed to:
- keep you informed
- provide you with parenting strategies
- build your connections with other Berklee parents
In reviewing the Parenting Tips, Tricks and Webinars page, you will find many easily accessisble resources that you can access from the comfort of your home. We invite you to view as many programs as you can. Additionally, consider signing up for the Successful College Parenting Newsletter offered by Kay Kimball Gruder, M.Ed., certified parent coach and founder of SuccessfulCollegeParenting.com. The newsletter is written specifically for parents of pre-college and college students who want to explore new ways of addressing parenting challenges and help their student make the most of his or her college experience. Our Parent Office website also has links to recommended reading, parent videos, the Parent Handbook, career planning timelines, and information about student health and safety.
Between accessing information on our website and participating in on-site and webinar programming, you will have a range of tools and resources to help you parent throughout the year.

Food for thought........
Thinking laterally, to minimise output issues, probraby not going to get you
out of your seat but.............
How about using a large address range. Auth credentials are tied to specific
IP's which are accounted to certain download limits or access time.
Start of each day / other, owner prints single sheet / clicks auto generate
new accounts and 100-1000 etc. random accounts are spat out onto a piece of
Some comes and says "i want 2 hours access" then you give them the two hour
credentials for the day. Someone says "i don't know how much time i need but
can i have 100MB?"
What are the requirements here???
a) minimal admin interaction
b) minimal hardware fiddling
c) account security (non-abuse)
I mean, if are going to go down the print on demand model, surely we will
have to define 2-6 printer models that are up to the job and supported.
re: the flash applet, nice idea, harder to maintain if primary developer
busy / drifts / other
i would be going the ip printer route, more flexibility in positioning and
drivers if you can use ipp / generic ip driver. yes, stand alone mini-print
server may be required.
to make this scalable, the way i see it is the mono handles;
-interface ties in to local db and remote radius server / local captive
hooks (why not the option for either)
-printer ties into generic ipp driver or limited devices
as the ticketing module is php and perhaps leverages sql for storage, there
is no reason why it cannot be moved to backend / middle tier servers on
larger deployments.
hardest bit about coding this would be the captive hooks and the accounting
if it need to be done on mono.
anyway, back to the day job :)

Arcadia, CA, Feb. 8, 2013 – Veteran filmmakers and undiscovered newcomers are hard at work on their submissions to earn their share of nearly $30,000 in prize money in the second annual HRTV Film Festival at Santa Anita. A joint project between Santa Anita Park and HRTV (R), The Network for Horse Sports, the non-fiction film festival competition entitled "A Day at the Races" is for Santa Anita-based projects with a maximum running time of five minutes.
Deadline for entering the Film Festival will be March 27 when all film submissions are due. Online voting will begin on March 30, and will close on April 10. Winners will be announced at Santa Anita April 13.
Application entries are available in-person, or online at www.tvg2.com/filmfestival <http://www.tvg2.com/filmfestival> , While entries are accepted online, credentials must be picked-up, and payment ($150 general entrant or $50 for students with ID) must be made, at Santa Anita.
"A Day at the Races" entries will again be judged by a panel of racing and entertainment professionals and this year's competition will feature expanded prize money to include the top five entries. First prize will be $10,000, with second prize at $5,000, while third through fifth prizes will be $3,000, $1,500, and $500, respectively. An additional $10,000 first prize will be awarded to the winner through an online poll.
New this year, those entries judged to be in sixth through 10th places will receive free entry to the 2014 edition of the competition.
Each entrant will be given two film festival credentials which will allow shooting access to select public areas at Santa Anita, and receive 10 Clubhouse passes good for admission throughout Santa Anita's winter/spring meeting.
Last year, Tristan de Burgh and Cassandra Brooksbank, both students at the USC Film School, took the $10,000 Judges' Prize Award with a film entitled, "Call to Arms." Miguel Mouchess won the $10,000 Fans' Favorite Award with his entry -- "A Day at the Races with the Paddock Tree Gang." In all, there were 25 submissions which generated more than 77,000 online votes in the Fans' Favorite category.
In addition, one of the 2012 Film Festival Entrant's, "Jake's Day Racing" which just missed placing in the top three, was commissioned by HRTV to be expanded to a full half-hour documentary. Renamed "HRTV Presents Chasing," the documentary on steeplechase racing and a veteran rider by veteran filmmaker Kristy Cecil premiered on the network last month.

The light of the setting sun filtered through the windows in
Mount Saint Mary College's Founders Chapel recently, joining the
glow of the candles carried by three altar servers as they walked
the Way of the Cross.
The solemn ceremony, observed by Roman Catholics during the
Easter season, recalls the crucifixion of Jesus Christ through 14
steps, or stations. These stations are commonly affixed to the
walls of a church, as either carvings or small illustrations.
With the Mount faithful lining the pews, servers Megan Capurso,
Adam Earle and Emily DiBiase ventured to the stations. Fr. Francis
Amodio, O.Carm, Mount Saint Mary College campus chaplain, spoke a
prayer at each one.
"These reflections are based on the Four Gospels of the New
Testament, the Passion Narratives," explained Fr. Amodio. "This
devotion is associated with St. Francis of Assisi."
The stations are:
"The Way of the Cross is always a moving experience," said
Alexander LaPoint, assistant director of campus ministry. "To walk
with Jesus on his journey to Crucifixion helps to remind us what
the Lenten season is about and what we have to look forward to in
The idea of the station comes from the Holy Land, as pilgrims
walk and pray the steps Jesus took on his way to Calvary, outside
the wall of Jerusalem. This walk in Jerusalem is called the Via
Dolorosa, or Way of Sorrow.
"For those who cannot go in pilgrimage to Jerusalem, they make
the Via Dolorosa in their church by walking around at each station,
reflecting on the passion of Jesus Christ," Fr. Amodio said. "This
devotion can also be prayed at home or anywhere else."

With perennial top-five recruiting classes, USC tends to dominate getting prospects against other Pacific-12 Conference schools.
But Trojans coach Lane Kiffin said Sunday that USC recruiting deficiencies are a reason six Pac-12 schools are currently ranked in the Associated Press Top-25 poll.
"I think that's the result of us not nailing recruiting over the last five years and players getting away in this conference," Kiffin said. "We have to make it our goal to stop that. Once get our numbers back (to the full scholarship limits), we can stop that.
"There was a guy Saturday making plays and we had him here in our camp but we didn't have room for him."
Kiffin would not name the player. Wide receivers Gabe Marx (Washington State) and Bryce Treggs (California) were two freshmen playing Saturday and each caught at least two passes.
Woods perseveres
Wide receiver Robert Woods caught just four passes in USC's victory over California and his numbers are down this year. Woods has just 25 receptions in the first four games. He caught 41 in the Trojans' first four games last year.
"I'm just trying to still get open," Woods said. "I feel like our offense can play a lot better than it has been playing."
Wide receiver Marqise Lee said Woods is not demoralized by his quieter start to the season.
"I think he's fine," Lee said. "People start to assume things. We're around him 24-7 and he's fine. The only problems would be if we lose."
Lee said he and Woods are forced to deal with double coverage.
"It's 100 percent (double teams), all the time," Lee said.
Lee, asked how often he saw single coverage this season, said, "Maybe a couple plays here or there. We knew it wouldn't be like it was last year."
Kiffin said Woods, who underwent ankle surgery in the offseason, takes a day off a week for rest. Woods said he is just keeping his legs fresh and Lee also takes days off.
"You like to have a guy out there (every day) but you like to have him on Saturday too," wide receivers coach Tee Martin said.
Injury update
Center Khaled Holmes wore shorts and no pads to practice.
"I feel great," Holmes said with a smile on his face when asked if he would play against Utah. Senior Abe Markowitz appears to be the next choice if Holmes cannot play.
Wide receiver George Farmer, out two weeks with a pulled hamstring, returned to practice.
"He's looking great," Martin said. "We're just trying to manage the reps he gets."

Post subject: First Mock of the year! GSing back! Explanations Included
1. Kansas City Chiefs select Geno Smith QB, West Virginia
I'm starting to look at the tape on this kid and believe it. He's the best QB in the 2013 draft. He's got a lot of through the roof potential, and if a team like KC is picking first, it's clear Cassel is done. Smith would be a tremendous help too because he has all the weapons around him to succeed - Charles, Bowe, Baldwin, Moeki, and O Line help. Great pickup.
2. Oakland Raiders select Matt Barkley QB, USC
It's not that I don't think Carson Palmer is a bad QB. It's more I think McKenzie wants his own QB that's young and he can have his coaches groom. What a coincidence, another USC QB on his roster! Haha, in all seriousness though. I do think Barkley rebounds somewhat. I just think Smith is the better QB.
3. Cleveland Browns select Robert Woods WR, USC
I was screaming at Cleveland to take Justin Blackmon this past draft because I said, you can get a RB like Doug Martin or David Wilson at 22 and Brandon Weeden at 37 or move back up into the first round for another pick... Well good ole Browns for ya. They went into a weird different direction. This has to be the year the Browns take a premiere WR to give Weeden ANY chance at succeeding. I just don't see them giving up on a QB they took in the first round one year later.
4. Indianapolis Colts select Star Lotulelei DT, Utah
Lets face it, Indy needs to get bigger up front on their d line. For years they got away with undersize DT's, and now they are running a 3-4 with really no premiere stud NT. Coach Pagano was in Baltimore, he knows how important it is to have studs up front. Lotulelei has the ability to play nose or even a 5 tech in their scheme. Lots of comparisons to Ngata and for good reason.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars select Barkevious Mingo DE, LSU
Getting after the passer has been rough for years for Jacksonville. Even after spending first and second round picks back in 2008 on DE's, they STILL need DE's. Branch was a nice addition in the second round last year, but they need another one. Mingo has great potential and looks to be a stud. Good pick.
6. Minnesota Vikings select Jonathan Hankins DT, Ohio State
I love Hankins for lots of reasons. First off I'm a Buckeye fan and so is my buddy who's a Vikings fan. Second of all, watch this kid play! He has the body of an NFL NT, but remember, Minnesota had Pat Williams who was the size of one too and they ran a 4-3. Also with Kevin Williams getting up there a bit, Hankins gives them a young body up front.
7. Miami Dolphins select Justin Hunter WR, Tennessee
Ryan Tannehill needs WR's. Brian Hartline is a #2 at best, and they traded Marshall last off season. Hunter brings in explosiveness at the position and great hands.
8. St. Louis Rams select Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas AM
Best OT in the draft, and the Rams have got to get a premiere one this year. They terribly missed on Jason Smith, but Joeckel looks to be a real deal. They shouldn't miss this time around.
9. New York Jets select Jarvis Jones OLB, Georgia
With all of the junk going on with the Jets, if they are picking 9th, they probably want to start starting over. But Jarvis Jones gives them the pass rusher they should've drafted last year like Ingram and not Coples. Jones solves that issue this year. The knock on Jones is he needs to gain 20 pounds to be a 3-4 OLB. I think he can do that if he does it properly.
10. New Orleans Saints select David Amerson CB, NC State
This guy looks like he can play either CB or Safety in the NFL. He's got good cover skills and is a ball hawk. The Saints need help on defense. After all the high picks spend on DB's, they still need some help there. Malcom and Robinson haven't been terrible, but they also lost Porter last off season. Upgrade would help back there.
11. Tennessee Titans select Dee Milliner CB, Alabama
Another Alabama DB going high in this draft. Milliner has looked great this whole year and a year after losing Cortland, the Titans get his replacement in Milliner. Great pick.
12. Carolina Panthers select Kawann Short DT, Purdue
I've been screaming for years the Panthers have needed a DT. Last year I thought they were going to take Cox, but they didn't. This has got to be the year they take one and Short looks to be the best in the draft. He can plug up the middle and make the tackles needed at the position.
13. Buffalo Bills select Tyler Wilson QB, Arkansas
I like Wilson a lot and if Buffalo is picking in the teens, they may look at QB. Fitz may never be an elite QB, but he would be a heck of a backup. Wilson can come in sit, then take over once he is ready. As long as he stays healthy the rest of the year and performs well, he will be a top 15 pick in the draft.
14. St. Louis Rams select Keenan Allen WR, California
The Rams have got to get Sam Bradford help if they ever want him to be the elite QB. Allen brings great speed and decent hands. They have got to get a WR in the first this year. Donnie Avery was drafted at the top of the second round, he's no longer with the team. Brian Quick same deal, except he can't even get a catch yet. Allen will help out in that category.
15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers select Manti Te'o LB, Notre Dame
The Bucs need to continue to build on defense. Te'o would be a start as a leader in the middle. He's been that his whole career at ND, he would continue that trend into the NFL. He's got great instincts and racks up a ton of tackles. Something that reminds lots of Bucs fans of Derrick Brooks.
16. Cincinnati Bengals select Marcus Lattimore RB, South Carolina
If Lattimore continues to improve off the ACL injury, then he'll continue his rise up the boards. The Bengals have the QB, WR, and TE. Now all they need is the RB to complete their offense. Lattimore gives them just that and he can let BJGE be the #2 back.
17. Arizona Cardinals select Taylor Lewan OT, Michigan
I feel Arizona will miss the playoffs. But I do think they won't look for a QB if Kolb plays well. Instead, go get him protection. As bad as Denard Robinson has been as a passer, Lewan has been pointed out as a great pass protector for him and gives him all the time in the world to make a throw. Something Kolb is going to need especially not being as mobile.
18. Philadelphia Eagles select Jonathan Banks CB, Mississippi State
Second straight year the Eagles take a stud defensive guy from Mississippi State. They could use some help at CB too. Unsure of DRC, Nnamdi can't do it all by himself. Plus as a 3rd CB, Banks would bring tremendous cover skills. Also don't be surprised if the Eagles fall in love with a guy like Barrett Jones. If Reid is still there, he loves those versatile o lineman.
19. Pittsburgh Steelers select T.J. McDonald S, USC
Once upon a time 10 years ago the Steelers took a S outta USC... That turned out very well. Now as they look for another one opposite Troy and to potentially replace him, McDonald looks to be the real deal on that Trojan defense this year. The Steelers have got to improve their secondary in this draft if they want their defense to continue to be top noch.
20. Seattle Seahawks select Sam Montgomery DE, LSU
This pick maybe a bit of a head scratcher to some, but Seattle loves their pass rushers. They drafted Irvin and reached for him this past year, but remember he's only a situational pass rusher. Montgomery comes in and is the guy on the other downs. Plus with no WR worthy right now, Montgomery is the BPA.
21. Dallas Cowboys select Jackson Jeffcoat DE, Texas
This name sound familiar Cowboy fans? That's because it is, and the Cowboys get a pass rusher that's the son of Jim Jeffcoat. Jackson brings great versatility off the edge and another guy that I think if gained weight, can play a 3-4 OLB.
22. Chicago Bears select Barrett Jones OL, Alabama
With all the bears problems on the line, they can plug and play Jones just about anywhere and get results from him! Good pick.
23. San Diego Chargers select D.J. Flucker OT, Alabama
If Bama wins the National Championship again this year, gotta give credit to their offensive line. Flucker maybe the lesser of the other two key lineman, but none the less he is still a solid prospect. The Chargers DESPERATELY need help at OT. Rivers is not performing well because they have guys like Michael Harris and Jeromey Clary starting at the OT spots. Time for a major upgrade there.
24. San Francisco 49ers select Chance Warmack G, Alabama
Three straight Alabama O Lineman, yes I can do it this early! This maybe a bit of a disappoint for 49er fans, but if you look at how how their o line is, you may understand. Drafting Staley, Iupati, and Davis in round one isn't enough. I think they need one more guard to solidify their line and Warmack is that guy.
25. Detroit Lions select Xavier Rhodes CB, Florida State
Detroit has got to get themselves some help at corner this upcoming off season. Their corners have looked terrible. Rhodes solves that problem for them too.
26. Baltimore Ravens select Eric Reid S, LSU
From one Reed to another. Different spelling but same results hopefully. Reid from LSU is a playmaker that can sit behind Ed Reed and when he retires, take over.
27. Denver Broncos select Sylvester Williams DT, North Carolina
Denver needs DT's badly. Yes they drafted Wolfe but they need another one or two. Williams if he continues to produce, could sneak into this area of the first round. Broncos grab him here.
28. Green Bay Packers select Kenny Vaccaro S, Texas
It's unfortunate Nick Collins' career went to injury prone. So the Pack go and draft a guy to replace the recently moved to safety Charles Woodson. Vaccaro has drawn Earl Thomas comparisons, but for now he stays a late one.
29. New York Giants select Jake Matthews OT, Texas A&M
As New York starts to retool their offensive line, RT would be a nice place to start. They target Martin and Adams in the draft before opting for David Wilson at RB. This year they have got to get younger on the O Line. Matthews is a bit raw, but can be a big help at RT for them down the road.
30. New England Patriots select Terrance Williams WR, Baylor
New England looks solid across the board except at WR. Williams gives them another weapon for Tom Brady and his 9 million TE's!
31. Atlanta Falcons select Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida St.
Werner is raw but has great potential as a pass rusher. Abraham isn't getting any younger for Atlanta, and they may turn to get his eventual replacement. This could be a steal right here.
32. Houston Texans select Marquess Wilson WR, Washington State
For us, we did draft Posey in the 3rd last year, but I like him more as a #3 guy. Wilson would bring that #2 WR opposite Andre we have been desperately looking for. Oh and we won the super bowl! Happy note too!

You took one of my draft crushes so obviously I like it a lot. Secondary is a major need in the draft for the Steelers and McDonald would be a sweet pick. Rhodes or Reid would be good selections as well there.

If the Chargers don't completely implode (i.e. way below a .500 record) AJ Smith will remain the GM. If AJ Smith remains the GM, there's a 99% chance (because history tells us this) that he will NOT select a 1st round OL because he has never done it in his tenure as a GM or AGM even when he went into a draft needing a starter at a particular position along the OL. The guy just doesn't do it. And he's stubborn as hell, I'd sooner bet on Honey Boo Boo's mother winning a bikini contest than I would AJ bucking this trend.
Also, Fluker's not playing LT at the next level, he's just not. And he may not even have the feet to play RT.
It's just an entirely unlikely pick.
Werner is more likely and would fit a "need" (in the sense that AJ considers "needs" to be both this year and as many as three years down the line) as both Shaun Phillips and Antwan Barnes are UFA's. Xavier Rhodes is a strong possibility as he has both the upside to justify the pick and fits a need (Cason and Jammer are UFA's; Jammer has at best 2 more years in him at CB and Cason hasn't earned another contract of a reserved starter's spot). If he's off the board (which if he runs in the 4.3's he will be), Carrington Byndom is a good alternative, but Werner shoudl be the choice given he has greater upside.

Banks is a good pick for the Eagles, particularly if DRC leaves.
Other options would be Rhodes, Reed or an OT or a QB

I think the Bengals like BJGE enough that they won't draft a RB in 1. Personally I would prefer a later round speed back like Barner.
OLB or a fast CB in 1 please.

I'd be ok with a stud rb as long as LB and SS were the two 2nd rd picks. BJGE has very little shiftiness and would work better as a solid #2 back getting 10-12 carries a game imo.

our o line has played better than expected. we dont need a guard because boone has stepped into the spot and played pretty well.
we also drafted looney last year if boone doesnt work out, but he was hurt in tc.
werner is the pick there. if he lasted that long... i would be ecstatic.
he would sit behind justin cowboy smith and learn from the best 34 de in the league. in a few years, he would get his spot.
we dont have great depth across the dl. would be the pick. especially if he slipped to here
new sig... sorry alex

As a recent graduate and someone employed in the field of recruitment, I am always seeking out new and unique ways to make myself stand out. I recently came across an article by Eugene Lim, a Marketing Intern for a website called Software Advice, in which she breaks down the secrets to marketing your talents via video resume.
While a creative means to grab the attention of recruiters, a video resume must be executed correctly in order to truly be an effective selling point. Lim speaks from personal experience when sharing secrets she has discovered to creating a stellar video resume:
1) Communicate a different side of you that cannot be captured on paper.
As Lim explains, "since actions speak louder than words, show yourself working on your latest achievement. Walk them through a past project with screenshot visuals, or show quick snapshots of you volunteering in a job-related field."
It is important to take advantage of the opportunity to humanize yourself and physically show the employer what you have produced. Make sure it is something that a paper resume just does not do justice.
2) Identify and relate to your audience.
Make sure your video resume is tailored to the industry in which you are seeking a job. Be professional and approach the video resume as if it were an in-person meeting. Use the recruitment requirements as a guideline to really send home why you would be a perfect fit.
3) Sell yourself.
The purpose of a video resume is to stand out, so really emphasize what qualifies you to move further along in the hiring process. As Lim states, "The hiring manager should be able to summarize what they learned about you after watching your video. Make sure your content is substantive, focused and relevant. It should accentuate why you are perfect for this job." At the end of your video, make sure to include a closing remark that makes a clear, succinct, and strong argument as to why the employer should pursue you further as a candidate.
4) Understand that a video resume is not a golden ticket.
While a video resume will make you stand out and show that you are conscientious, it must be understood that it will not secure you the position, or even guarantee you an interview for that matter. If you are not qualified for the job, a video resume will not magically change that.
One must also realize that a video resume is not for everyone. Some people may feel shy or awkward in front of a camera (I'm probably one of those people), which could end up being a recipe for disaster as it could make or break your chances of landing an interview. A video resume may be irrelevant to the position you are applying. From my own experience, video resumes work wonders for web designers, artists, and anyone pursuing positions in creative fields as it physically displays what you have produced. On the other hand, it may not be the best approach for someone in a more technical industry, but I'll leave that discretion up to you.
For those of you who think a video resume is the way to set your application apart, grab your camera and creativity and get started!
Special thanks to Eugene Lim for her invaluable advice! Remember to check out her blog post for video resume examples and more suggestions on how to create a killer video resume!

Kenya apologizes for missing NeNe's wedding
Now that she has made some headway in her eviction lawsuit, it looks like Kenya Moore is focused on making amends.
In a recent interview, she took time to apologize to her Real Housewives of Atlanta costar, NeNe Leakes, for missing her star-studded wedding last month.
"NeNe I love you. You know I couldn't make your wedding. I will send you the most incredible gift. I will buy several things on your gift registry and have them special delivered," she said. "But more importantly you know I love you, and I really appreciate you and I really am sorry that I wasn't able to make your special day."
While Kenya told CocoaFab that she was busy working in Africa, something smells fishy about this overdue apology.

Couples in conflict need to understand that we are pro-marriage and pro-family. However, we understand that often one of the partners may not want the marriage. Though we will help work toward resolve and solution, we can't guarantee outcome. But when we get couples who want the marriage to thrive, therapy can be exciting and at the same time challenging. Communication is a top treatment focus for couples. If you can communicate there is a possibility of resolve. That is where we will put efforts.

We will… "build sustainability into everything we do at Clarkson."
President Collins, April 2010
EVERYBODY needs to be involved to meet President Collins' goal. This month's newsletter celebrates the contributions of our students to support sustainability on our campus and beyond. There are a lot of student projects, only a few of which can be highlighted here. Several of our classes, student clubs and SPEED team projects contribute in many ways to our sustainability efforts!
Campus Sustainability Projects Lead to Energy Savings and Student Awards
A $25,000 annual Sustainability Project Fund was established last year to encourage community members to engage in the process of making the campus more environmentally, socially and fiscally sustainable. Project proposals were solicited in October, 2011 and selected for funding by the Sustainability Committee. Several teams presented their work at the NYSP2I Greening College Campuses Sustainability Competition in April of this year. The successful projects addressed energy efficiency, access to local food and bikes, and solid waste reduction efforts. A few examples include:
Residence Hall Motion Sensor Lighting
Graduate student Jeannie Piekarz and her team of students in the electrical engineering honor society helped to install light sensors in one of the Quad hallways. They found they could save 29% of the electric energy used in the hallways by turning lights off when no one is in the hallway. This team received the first place award from the NYSP2I sustainability competition and had an opportunity to be congratulated directly by N.Y. State Gov. Andrew Cuomo for their successful project.
Classroom Motion Sensor Lighting
Sophomore mechanical engineering major Jason Cocca helped to analyze the value of installing light sensors in classrooms. His design was integrated into the recently completed lighting upgrade throughout the CAMP and Rowley buildings.
Refrigerator Replacement Feasibility Study
Sophomores Lateefah Morse and Molly Ball surveyed and measured the energy consumption of refrigerators across campus. The student researchers used watt meters to measure the energy usage of the oldest refrigerators to find the most inefficient ones and replace them. By replacing just one large outdated refrigerator, our campus will save nearly $3,000 and reduce the CO2 emissions on campus by 1,635 kg per year. The ultimate goal of the project is to set up a replacement plan for the entire campus.
Water Bottle Refilling Stations
Members of the Synergy club lead by junior environmental engineering student Heather Masterson worked with facilities to install four water bottle refilling stations. Over the course of just four weeks in the spring semester, the equivalent of over 24,000 12-oz. water bottles were refilled from three of the new refill stations. A student survey suggests that additional refill stations are in demand across the campus.
Solicitations for the 2012-2013 academic year projects will be announced in September 2012. Read more ...
Graduate Students Win Awards for Research PresentationsGraduate Students Win Awards for Research Presentations
Chemical Engineering PhD student Basavaraju Agasanapura received a second place award in the student poster competition at this year's annual meeting of the North American Membrane Society. He reported on research conducted with advisor Dr. Ruth Baltus related to the use of membranes to remove rod-shaped particles from water. This research could be used to treat drinking water contaminated with pathogenic bacteria. Read more…
Dr. Ian M. Knack received the Best Student Paper Award for his presentation entitled "River Ice Modeling for Fish Habitat Analysis." He recently completed this work at Clarkson as part of his PhD degree in Civil & Environmental Engineering. Knack and his advisor, Dr. Hung Tao Shen, traveled to Dalian, China for this conference. Read more…
Clarkson Students Receive Prestigious EPA Fellowships
Environmental Engineering student Jared Smith ('13) and Env. Science & Policy student Erin Corrigan ('14) both received EPA GRO Fellowships to cover tuition expenses and enable them to complete and a research project as part of their undergraduate experience at Clarkson. An EPA internship. Smith and Corrigan have also benefited from the Study Abroad program with semesters spent in Australia and New Zealand, respectively.
Jared's summer internship for the EPA took him to Oregon to contribute to study human impacts on forest ecosystem services. He used data analysis, mathematical modeling and GIS skills learned at Clarkson as part of his research.
Erin intends to research the environmental impacts of our food systems, including the impacts of diet and local food sources on greenhouse gas emissions.
The application for EPA GRO Fellowships for undergraduate students in environmentally related disciplines is announced in the end of August and is due mid-December. Sophomore students apply for fellowship funding in their Junior and Senior years.
Community Service Helps to Sustain Local and International Communities
Several Clarkson organizations provide service to help support and sustain communities ranging from the Village of Potsdam to Africa. These projects not only help the communities we support, they are also a valuable aspect of college students' education and their engagement and retention. A few examples are described here.
Sisters of Clarkson's Colony of Kappa Delta Chi collect used clothing, diapers, toiletries and household goods and distribute them monthly to low income community members at the local Trinity Church. This is just one of the many projects the sisters of KDChi contribute too. They also raised over $2,000 last year for a variety of charitable organizations. Read more…
Students from the School of Business' global business programs visited Uganda in May and are working with the Friends of Orphans (FRO) to help establish a community-based radio station in Pader. FRO works to reintegrate child soldiers into their home communities, train internally displaced persons in conflict management and resolution, increase food production, and foster sustainable development through enterprise. Read more…
Students Assess Energy Efficiency of Manufacturing Facilities
Three Clarkson engineering students were trained this summer to conduct energy efficiency audits at manufacturing facilities. They worked with Prof. Ken Visser as a satellite of the DOE-funded Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) at Syracuse University. The purpose of the center is to assist small and medium-sized manufacturers within New York State to evaluate their energy usage, manufacturing productivity, and waste generation, and to reduce their associated costs. At the same time, our students are trained to become the next generation of industrial efficiency experts.
Dan Barron, Mike DiLorenzo and Matt Russell completed two assessments of manufacturing plants in northern New York. Their assessments included the use of different instruments to measure energy consumption throughout the facilities. Analysis of these data led to recommendations provided to the plant managers to save energy and expenses. The DOE IAC program has helped manufacturing facilities save an average of $65,000 a year with implementation of student-developed recommendations. Read more…

I was just doing a little reading about how more web hosting companies are demanding ID scans nowadays to prevent fraudulent signups using stolen credit cards and to prevent nefarious uses such as copyright infringement, phishing, spamming, etc. HostGator says they get 6,000 fraudulent signups per month. ID scans are a tool they use to help protect against such fraudulent signups.
There are some examples of fake ID scans they have received in those posts. It's pretty funny stuff what people try to pass off. IDs with photos of Hollywood celebrities like Brad Pitt with the name of Connie? Yup. :lol:
Is this common now? I haven't been involved with purchasing web hosting for over 5 years. None of the hosts I had ever insisted on an ID scan when I bought hosting years ago. So I'm just wondering if this is standard operating procedure today or if this is primarily used when non-American customers try to buy hosting.
Put yourself in the position of an e-commerce website owner. Would you accept an order and ship to anyone who completes your order form? Do you ship to anyone who enters a credit card number? Do you merely check the mathematical formula for verifying that a credit card number MIGHT be legitimate or check with a bank that it IS legitimate? Do you check the address on your form (shipping or merely for validation) against the address the bank has for that card?
Is verification a standard operating procedure today? From this perspective, what do you think?
Sure, address verification and stuff, to make sure the person making the order is shipping the order to the billing address, the IP address making the order is located in the same area as the billing address, etc.. But I wasn't aware they were requiring ID scans for hosting.
I would think that an ID scan can be ponied-up easier than getting a credit card which is honored by a bank so, as a requirement, it's ridiculous (IMHO, of course)!
I've seen it a few times for dedis/vps. It's an additional measure sometimes required if maxmind or similar fraud detection system flags up an order as 'high risk' (sometimes just being from another country is enough)
Yes this is a common feature of the host that I use. If your using fake ID to sign-up then it is a fair bet that you are also using stolen credit to attempt to pay for your hosting. In risk avoidance this is general terms is called 'upstream problem solving'; the ability to solve problems before they cascade and become larger problems. This way those users caught can't slip by the payment process.
Also why worry about it as you are giving the host a valid card. Even without being verified in this way at some hosts, they are checking your profile info with the Bank, and that Bank has a very thorough profile on you that is shared across countries. The fact that HostGator is doing this upfront with people might rub civil liberties the wrong way but what is worse you knowing what's happening or it hiding behind the scenes without you knowing?
After doing some reading on other boards and seeing how the oversellers appeal to the lowest common denominator like scummy phishers, software pirates and copyright infringers, I can understand their need to do some background checking. I just wasn't aware it was on its way to becoming a common practice. I suppose a dedicated server is capable of massive amounts of spam, so a little personal verification might not be unreasonable. But still, it's a pain in the butt and, quite frankly, it isn't something that honest people are going to like doing.
No, I would not expect someone engaged in the stealing of personal information like credit card numbers, spamming, hacking, or software piracy to use their real identity. But when you are offering "unlimited" server resources for $7 a month, you are going to attract that type of crowd.
I chuckled when I recently read a complaint on another board by an angry webmaster upset because Go Daddy disabled his account for phishing. Can you imagine losing your account over that? :eek: :lol:
I can see why the're doing this. I might be in a little trouble as I've made my age a bit higher than my real age, 14.
Yes, ID scans are common in the hosting industry. Fraud rates get higher and higher every day across every industry. You have to consider that every action a company performs has a cost associated with it. It is better for a hosting provider to nip it at the bud. As other posts on this thread point out, if someone is willing to use a fraudulent credit card to sign up for a hosting account then what can be expected of them once they have that account active and associated with another person or even a non person. If a legitimate user is having credit card issues then they are more than willing to track down the problem or send in additional information in order to verify identity.
