Just because we're in the quarterfinals of the high school football playoffs doesn't mean we're getting only a fraction of the action.
After some washout matches in the first round, expect the stakes and the competition to heat up this week. In 3A in particular, there are some power players still at work, and there could be a few surprises as well. And of course, there's Juan Diego hosting Hurricane a rivalry that has enough material for a book.
As always, we thank historian George Felt for his weekly release of statistical observations and trends. Some of those are incorporated into these previews.
Best matchup
Hurricane (9-1) at Juan Diego (11-0), 5 p.m. • It's a pity these teams can't continue their rich history at Rice-Eccles Stadium, but the stands should be packed anyways for arguably the game of the week. Juan Diego has played immaculate defense, allowing an average of only seven points per game. That defense is led by Dakota Cox and Kalei Kauhaahaa, fast linebackers who possess rare athleticism for the 3A level. Match that unit against Hurricane rushers Jared Edwards and Adam Thompson, a thunder-and-lightning combo that has rushed for a combined 1,700 yards and 33 touchdowns. Something's got to give. The Tigers have not been as successful on defense, so if the Soaring Eagle's three-headed rushing attack can get moving, Hurricane could have some catching up to do.
Other games
Morgan (7-4) at Spanish Fork (10-1), 6 p.m. • Fresh off narrowly avoiding an upset at home, the Dons will have to defend their home field again against visiting Morgan. Spanish Fork set a program record for wins this season.
Bear River (7-4) at Desert Hills (7-3), 5 p.m. • The Bears have a 378-mile bus ride to go take on last year's runner-up, a Thunder team that's only gotten tougher through the season.
Dixie (8-2) at Stansbury (11-0), 5 p.m. • Another signature matchup this week, with one of the state's hottest offenses going against one of the few remaining undefeated squads.
Class 5A
Alta (9-2) at Syracuse (10-0), 5 p.m. • This is a rematch of a first-round game last year, and the Hawks want revenge after falling 16-10. But the roles are reversed this season. Syracuse enters undefeated after winning a region title, while Alta is the No. 2 seed from Region 3.
Fremont (4-6) at Bingham (9-2), 4 p.m. • Here's another playoff rematch from last season, which the Silver Wolves won 27-20 on their way to losing in the state title game. Of course that was a rematch of the 2010 title game, which Bingham won 30-7, so these programs are familiar with each other at this time of year.
Davis (7-4) at Lone Peak (9-2), 4 p.m. • The Darts needed a win just to make the playoffs, then slammed Kearns 38-0 in last week's opener for the program's 550th victory in its 97-year history. The reigning state champs needed a touchdown with six minutes left to beat Brighton in the opening round.
Northridge (9-2) at Jordan (9-1), 4 p.m. • The state's highest scoring offense, led by sophomore quarterback Austin Kafentzis, will offer an enormous challenge for the Knights.
Class 4A
Timpview (6-5) at Woods Cross (9-2), 3 p.m. • Timpview's offense will provide an overwhelming obstacle for the Wildcats' defense, which has posted shutouts in three of its last four games. The teams met in a playoff opener last season, and Timpview prevailed 31-14.
Highland (7-4) at Orem (8-3), 4 p.m. • The Tigers are out to reach their first state semifinal since 1996, but the resilient Rams stand in the way.
Bountiful (9-2) at Mountain Crest (9-2), 4 p.m. • The Braves are trying for their second consecutive trip to the state semifinals, but they'll have to get past a team riding an eight-game winning streak.
East (4-7) at Box Elder (7-4), 4 p.m. • Both teams upset better seeds in the first round, although East isn't a typical No. 4 seed it won the region title only to have it stripped for using ineligible players.

The Nation's Top Party School Is...
(NEWSER) – Despite the best efforts of city and university officials, the University of Iowa has taken first place in thePrinceton Review's list of top party schools after finishing second last year. The rankings—based on a nationwide survey of 126,000 students—take into account drug and alcohol use, the popularity of fraternities and sororities, and the amount of time spent studying, the Des Moines Register reports. University of California, Santa Barbara; the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; West Virginia University, and Syracuse University rounded out the top 5.

Graduate School Workshops (September-November)
Each Fall, the Department offers a series of workshops that enable undergraduates to prepare and submit materials for graduate school admission. The initial workshop provides an introduction to the application process. Subsequent workshops focus on different elements of the application process, including letters of introduction, resume/ CVs, writing samples, computer tests (GREs) and letters of reference.
While the workshops are open to all GU students, we especially encourage CJ and Sociology students to take advantage of this opportunity. Even if you do not think you will be applying this Fall, the information and training will help you prepare a working application file for future application.
We will hold the first workshop on Wednesday, September 29th at 5 pm on the third floor of College (room to be announced).
ListServe Updates (September-October)
During the first two months of the semester, the Department updates the CJ and SOCI Listservers. If you are a Major or Minor, you will receive a few emails to complete the integration phrase. We normally use the listserver to provide you with academic updates and to circulate employment opportunities. If you do not wish to receive such notifications through the listserver, you can easily remove your email address from the list or you can send a removal request to Bill Hayes (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Undergraduate Advising (October)
As always, your faculty stand ready to meet with you about your program of study on the 3rd floor of College. Please set up an appointment to discuss your academic plans, intellectual issues in criminal justice, or to just get acquainted.
Information specific to undergraduate majors and minors catalogues may be accessed here.
As you know, each semester you are expected to meet with your advisor to confirm that your student record is in order.

ONTARIO - For most of this year, air cargo at L.A./Ontario International Airport has been on the rise from previous years.
And all signs indicate traffic figures this holiday season also will be up.
Earlier last week, just days before Christmas, dozens of empty truck trailers sat still in a vacant area on the northwest portion of the airport.
This marks the third year ONT has had a deal with UPS to rent space, said Jess Romo, airport manager.
"Their business picks up so much it makes sense to lease on short term basis," he said.
The extra trailers, some marked with the UPS logo, have been there since late November. More than a 100 trailers initially filled two parking lots. They were there in preparation of the company's busiest day, which was Thursday.
"As UPS's West Coast regional air hub, Ontario sees increased flight and feeder truck activity this time of year," said Mike Mangeot, spokesman for UPS. "We add flights, hire seasonal package handlers and truck drivers, and work with contract carriers to carry extra package volume all over the U.S., and that's certainly true in the population centers of Southern California served by Ontario."
Nationally, UPS expects to deliver 527 million packages this peak season. If that number comes to fruition in the face of Hurricane Sandy on the East Coast and last week's Midwest blizzard, it will set a record with a 10 percent increase over 2011.
On Thursday, UPS delivered 28 million packages. That's about 300 every second, he said.
"These big numbers are driven to a great extent by e-commerce. Fully a third of all holiday shoppers did their buying online this year, with shopping via smartphone doubling since last year," Mangeot said.
UPS does business with 24 of the top 25 e-tailers, he said.
"Those companies are very smart about their logistics networks and often establish distribution facilities near UPS hubs to minimize time in transit for their customers," he said.
Traffic by the year
In the first half of the year, ONT air cargo traffic was up by about 15 percent.
Through October, those figures had dropped slightly, but reflected a 10 percent increase over the same period of 2011.
The airport could still be poised for more growth as long as the industrial sector continues to grow.
DAUM's third quarter market report states the demand for industrial space will continue to be driven by domestic and global consumption.
In the Inland Empire, industrial warehouse vacancies increased from 6.6 percent to 7.4 percent in the third quarter.
Online retailers prefer to deliver to the Inland Empire region through Ontario rather than shipping to Orange County or to Los Angeles International Airport because it gets to the customer more quickly, officials said.
Romo said FedEx and UPS are doing well in terms of traffic, Romo said.
"We have seen increases in their activity in the last two years," he said referring to FedEx. "Overall, we have seen increases in cargo."
In the last couple of months, FedEx has been working with LAWA real estate officials regarding its location at ONT.
"They are trying to reconfigure so they can bring in more wide-body aircraft," Romo said.
The carrier does not have any plans to expand at this time, he said.
Romo said FedEx is in a triangle shaped space on the south side of the airport. He said its space narrows so FedEx and LAWA officials are trying "make better utilization," of the space.

No disrespect to GSP, but I think he would have a tough time with Silva's length and overall size advantage. Saying Jake Shields could beat Silva is laughable imo.

I'd rather see Anderson Silva fight Jon Jones rather than GSP....
Could very easily see Shields doing a Chael to Silva but more sub attempts?
i laughed a friend had posted a link to an article on sherdog and i looked in their forum they're writing jake shields off saying he has no wrestlingwas thinking to myself wonder if they watch anything thats outside the ufc
He's not going to say 'Anderson would beat me', is he? But to be honest i'd prefer Silva fought Jones as well
To many people underestimate shields.
He pretty much dominated Henderson for 5 rounds and not many people can say that have done that.
He could very well decision anderson.
he dominated henderson for 4 rounds but not many people have done that fresh let alone after the first round that shields had he's never in pretty fights but he always makes people fight his fight his stand up is awful but he's so single minded about how the fights going to go its never made that much difference
Regardless of how he does against GSP, Shields style would cause major problems for A Silva. There really isn't any point in anyone trying to outstrike Anderson as there's no-one around at that level strikingwise, but as an excellent wrestler with a top notch submission game, Shields has the tools to make Anderson Silva look very mortal.
I also personally think that Shields is too big to be welterweight. He sometimes struggles with the cut and this is to his detriment as a fighter IMO. He'd be an even more dangerous fighter at middleweight.
Glad to see that GSP is taking Shields very seriously. He needs to.
I think Shields is an awesome talent, but i don't think he beats GSP OR Anderson, here's my logic...
His standup closely resembles that of someone at the end of their first boxing lesson ever, when they are totally gassed out, which has been recorded and then played back in slow motion lol ! i.e. its horrible!
He has amazing wrestling and an absolutely world class submission game, but against a really elite striker with good length/range, will struggle immensely to set up his takedowns.
His success against good strikers has predominently came against strikers who have one of fast hands, punching power or a long reach (good use of range). GSP and Anderson have all three, add to this that GSP has amazing wrestling and Anderson is not an easy guy to take down. I see Shields getting horribly smashed up whilst attempting to zombie walk his way in to takedowns agianst both of those two.
To play MMaths for a minute (as others have done so above) ...
Sonnen took Silva down repeatedly yes, but he explodes in to (and right through) his takedowns in a very different way to Shields who tends to vice grip and clinch his!
Josh Koscheck is a better wrestler than Shields and also a better striker, yet didn't come close to taking GSP down recently.
Shields beat Henderson who has very little timing and handspeed (although does have massive power) and Daley who used lots of kicks which resulted in him being taken down and then became so wary of being taken down it affected his standup.

Topic: Miss my best friend
I lost my Mom in Sept 2012 a few days before her birthday to this cancer. When she was diagnosed she lived only 3 weeks.
Not a day goes by where i dont think about her and miss her terribly. She was my best friend. I miss our daily chats and her advice. This pain wont go away. Some days I come home and listen to her voice mails just to hear her voice again. I know she wouldn't want me to be so sad. The one thing that gets me through this is knowing she is with my dad. That is what she wanted more than anything. When I visited their grave site I felt a big sense of relief knowing they were together again, holding hands.
Sorry everyone for posting my grief on this forum. I know it's been awhile since Ive been here but you all know what this pain is like and it helps to let it out once in awhile.
God Bless you all! Everyone on this forum will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

That's an amazing statement."

GLENVIEW, IL -- New from Kraft Vending & OCS is a compact companion to its Tassimo T-300 workplace single-cup brewer. The Tassimo Professional T-65 CUL single cup brewing system is engineered to make smart use of the limited space characteristic of midsize businesses. It measures only 12.3" deep x 10.3" wide x 14.5" high.
Not unlike the larger T-300, the new T-65 CUL puts a full range of premium hot beverages at the user's fingertips. With well-known brands like Gevalia coffees, Twinings teas and Suchard chocolate beverages, the T-65 CUL and its larger stablemate can offer every employee his or her favorite selection. Rainforest Alliance Certified products are available.
Designed for easy installation, the Tassimo Professional T-65 CUL need only be plugged into the wall and it's ready to go; no plumbing is required. Easily filled through a pour-in inlet fitted with a high-quality filter from MAVEA (Elgin, IL, and Taunusstein, Germany), it also is simple and straightforward to use. Easy-to-follow instructions on an LCD screen help coffee-lovers create a wide variety of drinks. Such specialty espresso-based beverages as cappuccinos and lattes are prepared with real liquid milk in less than two minutes.
The T-65 CUL prepares beverages from novel "scannable" T-Discs, each containing a precise quantity of premium ground coffee, tea or chocolate. The built-in barcode scanner reads the T-Disc and adjusts the brew parameters -- water temperature, volume, flow rate and time -- for optimum results.
Tassimo Professional T-Discs are not compatible with Tassimo home systems, and this incompatibility affords operators and locations enhanced control over product procurement and use.

Tool simplifies tweaks to WMS solutions

DMLogic (Booth 3584) showcased stepLogic, its development and customization tool aimed at simplying extensions or changes to warehouse management system (WMS) software or other applications.
Robert Kennedy, VP of business development for DMLogic, said the tool works with any WMS, not just the WMS software from DMLogic. The tool uses a Web-based, point-and click user interface that replaces traditional development tasks with simple configuration steps. This means customizations to systems don't need to be handled by IT consultants or WMS services organizations, said Kennedy.
"If you go in and ask a company with a WMS how their system is working, they'll often say it's doing OK, but they usually have a list of changes or extensions they'd like to see with the system," said Kennedy. "With stepLogic, we empower the end users to do more of those changes on their own."
The tool was released last fall, said Kennedy, and is seeing use among users of various warehouse management systems who want to design new processes, build new screens, or streamline steps and processes. Changes made with the tool will migrate forward to future releases of a WMS, though if the WMS data structure changes, some minor adjustments may be needed, Kennedy said.
The tool can create screen and processes for terminals or full-form screens, and can even be used to create stand-alone applicaitons. One early user, said Kennedy, is using stepLogic to create an application that tracks accidents.

The Roberts Court begins another potentially explosive term on Monday.
Much of the credit, such as it is, belongs to Oral Roberts, who died on Tuesday.
Bliss walked in front of Roberts with a tiny GoPro camera hidden in the back of his shirt.
But no one would seriously contend that Roberts has been a neutral umpire.
The insurgent Republican faces an uphill battle against Roberts, who has served on Capitol Hill for more than 30 years.
Roberts untempered fanaticism had required no stimulus, and now it raged beyond all bounds.
It was commonly known in Utah that Roberts was a violator of the Edmunds law.
I told him that old Roberts wanted to see him immediately, as he had an important confession to make.
Inspector Roberts took a notebook out of his pocket and consulted it.
The accurate answering fire of Roberts had broken his wrist.
masc. proper name, from Old North French form of Old High German Hrodberht "bright-fame, bright with glory," from hrod- "fame, glory," from Proto-Germanic *hrothi-, + -berht "bright" (see Albert).

DALLAS -- Pac-Man Battle Royale made its first appearance in a supersized deluxe version at Dave and Buster's locations in December. Namco America is billing the latest iteration of its video classic as the first competitive Pac-Man arcade attraction. The new videogame will reportedly be available industrywide this month.
In Pac-Man Battle Royale Deluxe, Namco takes the videogame that fans know and love and steps up the action with a twist: players eliminate their opponents by eating them, and the last Pac-Man standing wins the round.
In the deluxe version, the game cabinet is outfitted with a huge monitor, as opposed to the cocktail table "Royale" format released in early 2011, so onlookers can get in on the action. The LCD screen is outlined by four red, yellow, pink and blue LED 'neon' lights that each run down to one of four control stations, color coded and Pac-Man faced, with color-coordinated ball-top joysticks, and accented in glowing track lighting reminiscent of the early '80s.
"Pac-Man is back, and he's bigger and hungrier than ever," said Mike Kane, Dave & Buster's game strategist. "It's Pac-Man vs. Pac-Man, and they're dueling to be the last Pac-Man standing."
As part of the Dave & Buster's launch, Pac-Man Power Girls visited select D&B locations on Dec. 16 and 17 and treated customers to free games. From Times Square in New York City to Milpitas, CA, the Power Girls marshaled the crowds for some videogame fun and competition. See photos on the game's Facebook page.

ISU Names Football Captains
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State head football coach Paul Rhoads announced his captains for the 2014 season after the first practice of fall camp this morning.
Returning senior All-Big 12 performers Tom Farniok (OL), E.J. Bibbs (TE) and Cory Morrissey (DE) were voted by their teammates to lead the Cyclones during the 2014 campaign.
"Being elected captain at Iowa State is an important responsibility and it's a huge compliment to Cory, E.J. and Tom," Rhoads said. "First of all, it's elected by their peers. Secondly, we take the time to discuss what goes in to it. We want leadership. We want decision-making and that capability. These are guys that have to stand up sometimes to their teammates and not just pat them on the back all the time. It's a great responsibility and a great honor to be elected captain here at Iowa State University."
Farniok, a native of Sioux Falls, S.D., has the most career starts of any returning Cyclone (35) and is considered one of the top centers in the nation. A two-time honorable mention All-Big 12 selection, Farniok is on the 2014 Rimington Award Watch list, given annually to the nation's best center.
Bibbs, who hails from Chicago, Ill., is one of the nation's top returning tight ends after catching 39 passes for 462 yards as a junior in 2013. Bibbs, who earned All-Big 12 Second-Team honors last year, is a preseason First-Team All-Big 12 pick and is on the John Mackey Award and CFPA Award watch lists for the nation's best tight end.
A native of Ames, Iowa, Morrissey led all Cyclone down linemen in tackles (52) and had 6.5 tackles for loss en route to honorable mention All-Big 12 honors in 2013. Morrissey is on the Lott Impact Award Watch list.
"To be chosen by my teammates to represent this program, it means everything to me, especially being around this program as a kid and loving it so much," Morrissey said. "I will take great pride in leading all of the younger guys in the program and teach them how to step up."

"Idaho lawmakers have rejected new K-12 science standards after receiving criticism over how the [standards] — which for the first time include global warming and evolution components — were finalized," reported the Associated Press (February 9, 2016).
House Bill 50, introduced in the Mississippi House of Representatives and referred to the House Education Committee on February 8, 2016, would, if enacted, allow science teachers with idiosyncratic opinions to teach anything they pleased — and prohibit responsible educational authorities from intervening.
South Dakota's Senate Bill 83 is out of commission, following a February 4, 2016, hearing in the Senate Education Committee. The committee voted 4-3 to defer further consideration of the bill to the forty-first legislative day, and since the legislative session in South Dakota is thirty-eight days long in 2016, the bill is effectively dead.
Andrew Sherwood
South Dakota's Senate Bill 83 — which would, if enacted, allow teachers to teach "the strengths and weaknesses of scientific information" presented in courses aligned with the state education standards — received coverage from the Sioux Falls Argus Leader (January 31, 2016).

Senate Bill 83, introduced in the South Dakota Senate and referred to the Senate Education Committee on January 25, 2016, would, if enacted, allow teachers to teach "the strengths and weaknesses of scientific information" presented in courses aligned with the state education standards.
House File 2054, introduced in the Iowa House of Representatives on January 19, 2016, and referred to the House Committee on Education, would, if enacted, reverse Iowa's decision to adopt the Next Generation Science Standards — and there is reason to believe that part of the motivation is the NGSS's treatment of evolution and climate change.
House Bill 3045 (PDF), styled the Scientific Education and Academic Freedom Act, is the second antiscience bill in the Oklahoma legislature for 2016, joining Senate Bill 1322.

Hi just wondering what you all thought of the ufc at the weekend?
Was surprised Kongo was stopped so soon Im a little disappointed we are not seeing Hunt vs Nelson as that could be a war both solid chins with big bombs but Dana is the boss.
No surprises with Jones I figured his ego would have him play the wrestling game which to no surprise Sonnon had no answer for. And dont even get me started on the toe very scary stuff I just pray none of you or your fighters suffer the same.
Very happy Bisping won there was no answers to his high work rate and pretty simple but very effective boxing hate him or love him but he is still flying the flag and setting the standard for other uk fighters hoping to break in to the top 5. The top 5 is just my opinion im sure some disagree.
All in all a weak card but I personally enjoyed a few of the fights so no complaints here. Very interested for opinions on the glove situation after Rogan saying we need changes etc.

The kids are all right
Gareth Greenaway, the tallest of the SCALE team running the Southern California Linux Expo, proposes to help out the smallest of the Linux/FOSS users.
How? For the first time ever, the Southern California Linux Expo will host the SCALE Kids Conference on Gareth's watch, a free and open source event where the community leaders of tomorrow will be able to spotlight their talents and ideas.
According to a recent SCALE release, the goal of the conference is to be as "kid driven" as possible. The event offers a unique opportunity for kids 10 to 16 to see and experience the inner workings of planning, determine the content, and help to steer the direction that the conference will take.
The SCALE Kids Conference will take place on Saturday, Jan. 21, 2012 in parallel with the main SCALE 10X conference.
For those parents and kids interested in helping to plan the event, Gareth and the SCALE team (and that includes yours truly) encourage you to join the scale-kids mailing list here.
Don't forget: SCALE 10X will be held from Jan. 20-22 at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport Hotel. Call for papers is open. Mark your calendars.

TORQUE is maintained and commercially supported by Cluster Resources, Inc.TM, and includes contributions from NCSA, OSC, USC, U.S. Department of Energy, Sandia, PNNL, U of Buffalo, Teragrid and many other HPC institutions. TORQUE offers improved usability and scalability over previous derivatives, and has continued to grow based on the value it provides at the price of $0.00. "The growth in functionality and popularity of TORQUE is a great testament to the vigor of the community," said David Jackson, CEO of Cluster Resources. "We are pleased to be part of TORQUE's success, and we look forward to continuing this same path." ******************************************************** Moab Cluster Suite 4.5.2 Soon to be in Beta After nearly six months of development, Moab Cluster Suite® 4.5.2 will soon be released in beta. Cluster Resources projects that a full- production version of 4.5.2 will be available a few month after the beta release. Three of the many enhancements to the new version are hierarchical fairshare trees, the ability to dynamically grow and shrink a job and command line logging. The hierarchical fairshare trees will allow administrators to form arbitrary groups of users or accounts and allocate an arbitrary percentage of cluster usage to each group. This increased ability to divide workload allocation will result in greater flexibility in running jobs. Moab's enhanced ability to dynamically grow and shrink a job will conserve resources over time as a job requests to use more or fewer nodes. For example, previously, if a job needed four nodes when it started, and two hours later it needed eight nodes, all eight nodes had to be allocated to that job for the entire duration of the job. Now, however, Moab can dynamically change how many nodes a job uses over time. This means the other four nodes that were wasted at the beginning of our example job could be used for another job for those two hours. The command line logging feature tracks when commands are entered to Moab and who entered them. This will be particularly useful on systems with multiple administrators who all enter commands. Moab will automatically track who did what and when they did it. Check http://www.clusterresources.com over the next few month to find more information on Moab 4.5.2 beta. ******************************************************** Cluster Resources Chooses Site for Office in United Kingdom Cluster Resources' president, Michael Jackson, attended the International Supercomputer Conference in Dresden, Germany at the end of June. During that trip he visited the United Kingdom to evaluate possible sites for Cluster Resources' announced UK office (http://www.clusterresources.com/media/Press%20Releases/Press%20Release -UK-office.pdf). After narrowing down the options, the selected site is the Cambridge Science Park Innovation Centre, located about one mile north of the Cambridge City Centre. "The rich history of the area combined with the high-technology focus of the facilities make the Cambridge Science Park an ideal location for our expansion," Jackson said. "The new European base of operations will allow us to help more customers around the world during their business hours as we continue to develop the functionality and value Moab adds to their systems." Cluster Resources plans to open the UK office in September or October. The exact date has yet to be determined. ******************************************************** DID YOU KNOW: Technical Training Videos Available at Cluster Resources' Web Site If you have questions about TORQUE, Moab or cluster administration in general, training on those subjects that normally costs $210 per hour is available for free at your own convenience. In February, 2006, Cluster Resources offered two days of free training via online demonstrations and phone conference. Cluster Resources recorded the training sessions which include Power Point slides and walk-through demonstrations. The recorded sessions are available for viewing in Flash format, and the Power Point presentations are available for download at http://www.clusterresources.com/techtraining. The training consists of nine sessions addressing cluster overview, deployment, diagnostics and troubleshooting, optimization and uptime, end users, political sharing and service delivery, reporting and monitoring, grid computing, utility/host computing, and TORQUE resource manager. The majority of the training focuses on how Moab facilitates and automates certain aspects of cluster administration. A time-coded index is available to aid in finding desired training materials. Whether you already have TORQUE or Moab and want a refresher on key concepts, or have neither and want to investigate their capabilities, these videos are valuable resources. If you have other questions that are not addressed in the training videos, documentation can be found at http://www.clusterresources.com/documentation, or contact us at info at clusterresources.com. ______________________________________________________ Contact Us: Product Feedback, Technical Support, Consulting and Custom Development queries can be sent to info at clusterresources.com or call us at +1 (801) 873-3400 Moab Workload Manager®, Moab Cluster Manager® and Moab Access Portal® are trademarks or registered trademarks of Cluster Resources IncorporatedTM.

Tamagotchi ID L help!
Posted 05 September 2011 - 11:14 AM ( #1 )
And I've splurged and got myself a fancy shiny new ID L. It is beautiful, and awesome. Except for the whole download situation. I don't have a compatible cell phone, so I've invested in a usb ir port for my computer. Problems problems problems.
As far as I can tell, the main problem is that my computer is waiting for a signal from another ir device. Then once they recognize each other, I can beam my files to my ID L. However, the ID L appears to be passive when in the download screen. It is not signalling at all.
I know SOMEONE has successfully used one of these things, so if you can give me any advice on how you got it to work, it would be appreciated. Every other topic I've looked at refers to the ir port as needing "alot of patience" but that isn't really helpful. I need details!!! I hope someone can help!

Posted 14 September 2011 - 10:27 PM ( #2 )
I am running Windows Vista, btw. For the ir device, I just installed it with windows generic driver instead of using the cd it came with. Seemed simpler.
First off, I had to mess with the configuration of the ir device itself. I went into the device manager, under advanced options. I changed the "transceiver". There were three options, so I just tried them all. The second thing I messed with was the "speed enable". The default setting was the highest option; I brought it down one notch.
At this point, the device was detecting my ID L, albeit not well, or consistently. I activated the receive button on my ID L several times, until a notification popped up on my computer. When you double click on the notification, a window pops up allowing you to browse your files and pick which one to send. By this time, the tamagotchi has given up on connecting, and the notification is gone, but you can still mess around in the sending window. When I had selected the file to send, I again activated the receive option on my tama(fourth option in the connection menu). Took a few times again. Finally, a notification pops up that there is a computer within range. HIT SEND FAST!!! If you wait just a second too long, the tama gives up again, and you have to make your computer recognize it all over again. It takes ALOT OF TRIES sometimes.
A few notes on troubleshooting; sometimes if the computer was just not recognizing the tama for a long time, I would hit the second option on the tama's connect menu that says ID. For some reason the computer had an easier time recognizing that signal. And although you can't send anything that way, it seems to kick-start the computer into recognizing you the next try.
UGH. So yes, my advice to anyone considering purchasing an irda device- don't. Mine was cheap ($7) but it took me three days of fiddling around to get anything to work AT ALL, and even then, it takes maybe 15 tries to get anything transferred. Just get a cheap phone on ebay and save yourself the trouble.
I am SUUUPER excited though to have these downloads. They are all fabulous, and I love the new games. It adds so much content to an already great tamagotchi, and it is by far my favorite version thus far.
If anyone else trying the irda has a specific question, feel free to pm me!

If you have one other iD L, or even using a +C or an iD, just reset whatever color Tamagotchi you're connecting with your iD L 6 times so that it registers as 6 "different" connection friends on your iD L during the teen stage and you should get Madonnatchi.
@memefefe wow that would be awesome right? Then we could get the coveted madonitchi (sp?) without a bazillion ID Ls!!
Although that is totes cheating.. But I love it

If your opponent's Pokémon that has 2 or less Energy cards attached to it attacks Mr. Mime, prevent all damage done to Mr. Mime from that attack. If Mime Jr. is anywhere under Mr. Mime, prevent all effects of that attack, including damage, done to Mr. Mime.
Put a coin next to your Active Pokémon without showing your opponent and cover it with your hand. Your opponent guesses if the coin is heads or tails. If he or she is wrong, this attack does 50 damage to the Defending Pokémon. If he or she is right, Mr. Mime does 20 damage to itself, and this attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness or Resistance.

Im planning on going to Tamarindo in February, Best Western Vista Villas is where I was looking to stay. Has anyone here had any experiences at this hotel? Also if you have gone to Costa in February, what was the weather like?
haven't stayed at the villas, but I have stayed in tamarindo. Weather is perfect in feb.
The town itself isn't as much of a surf destination as it's hyped up to be. There's the rivermouth which can be a perfect wave, but usually small and very crowded. There's also a good peak in the middle of town that only turns on at high tide and gets even more crowded than the rivermouth. Most people walk a couple of miles up the beach to Playa Grande...it only works at high tide, so it gets crowded, too.
Tamarindo is a sketchy town. A lot of dirty looking drug runners and ex-patriot fugitives slinking around. There are a lot of tourist robberies, so never leave money in your room and make sure your girlfriend keeps her purse in sight at all times...or it will get snatched.
Tamarindo def sketchy I agree with Agabinet Playa grande better break and more laid back Rip Jack inn is awesome
I've also stayed at the surf camp before it became the rip jack. Good times.
I will warn you I found a couple of cap-less syringes in the sand where people camp next to the beach. Watch where you're walking on the trail to the break and, sad to say, wearing flip-flops to the beach is probably a good idea.
ive been to tamarindo ran into no problems, lots of people will ask you if you want coke and ****. go futher south or to grande atleast.
For some atmosphere, I'd rec La Laguna del Cocodrilo in Tamarindo...may a little pricey, but there's a real croc in a real lagoon! My Feb trip two years ago, the waves were overhead/double overhead everyday. Plan your trip and you can avoid the sketch.
Tamarindo is a cool town, a little shady after dark, yes, but still a good time. I challenge you to find the real costa rica. It's much cooler than seedy tourist towns. Don't just go to Jaco and Tamarindo.
I rented a house right on the beach in Playa Negra. It was $2100 and slept 12 people. This is the way to go if you have numbers. Breaks werent as good as the north but it also wasnt as crowded.

Our mission at Tools of the Trade is to feed your endless appetite for new tools, which includes telling you about product introductions as soon as we learn about them. In this latest installment of our regular series of new-tool updates, we're taking a look into the future: Some of these tools won't be available until summer or fall. For more new cordless tools, be sure to read Product Watch. And to keep up with our latest reporting between print issues, check out our blogs at toolsofthetrade.net/blogs or sign up for our e-newsletter.
Bosch is releasing the latest version of its category-starting subcompact Pocket Driver. The tool has a two-speed gearbox for added torque and speed, and its head has been shortened to just over 51/2 inches long. Its bit holder is still the only one we've seen that works with 1-inch bits – a very smart design feature to keep the tool short in use.
The company's corded/cordless job-site radio is even louder and more versatile than before. Besides being compatible with MP3 and satellite radio devices, the new Power Box 360 can read music files right off memory sticks or thumb drives, letting you keep your delicate MP3 player away from the job site. It can charge or be powered by Bosch's 14.4- or 18-volt tool batteries and will also charge most USB-enabled devices.
In the manufacturer's rapidly growing laser tool line, the most interesting development is the more-affordable two-plane laser that projects 360-degree planes without a motorized spinning beam. Instead, projecting the laser beam onto a reflective cone flattens it out into a plane. The company says the unit is the first to achieve a vertical plane with a cone mirror.
Craftsman is pushing the limits of what we thought we would see out of 10.8- to 12-volt subcompact tools by adding a cordless detail sander and even a mini circ saw to its Nextec line. The TrueFinish sander has a belt-drive mechanism designed to improve balance and can run 25 minutes under a typical sanding load, according to the maker. The circ saw has a 33/8-inch blade for small jobs and an LED headlight. Both tools have vacuum-connection ports.
DeWalt is the second major brand to jump into the compact band-saw market, with an 18-volt cordless model that will be sold tool-only or in lithium-ion or nicad battery kits. This saw has a 21/2-inch-square cutting capacity and takes a 327/8-inch blade that is not compatible with the competitor's tools.
Also new is DeWalt's biggest, baddest wormdrive saw, which we are currently testing for our Summer issue.
As part of a licensing deal with Empire, DeWalt now has its name on premium construction levels in 2-, 4-, and 6-foot lengths. According to Empire, these levels have unique features and are their top-of-the-line offering.
Festool is updating its venerable C12 drill/driver and offering a larger C15 version, too. In addition to introducing lithium-ion batteries to the C line – 10.8-volt compact for the C12 and full size 14.4-volt for the C15 – the company has given both tools second-generation features like improved brushless motors, independent clutch and drill mode settings, and trigger-activated LED headlights. The electronic clutch works by reducing the motor output at lower settings, and its dial is in the handle loop.
Festool has also paired with Stabila for an exclusive Festool-branded version of Stabila's 196 series 4-foot level with lighted vials.
Hart hammers are making a comeback under new ownership as part of the TTI family of tool brands. Nine tools are planned for the initial launch, with heads ranging from 18 to 25 ounces and handles made of fiberglass, hickory, or steel. The designs are reminiscent of the old Hart look but incorporate the side nail pullers found on some Stiletto framers. The wood-handled hammers all feature the signature axe-eye handle socket popularized by the Hart brand, as well as its iconic flattened hatchet-style handles and curved axe-style handles.
Hilti has been busy breaking out new demo hammers. From a 26-pound breaker with 16 foot-pounds of impact energy to a 31-pound model with 22 foot-pounds, each is bigger and more powerful than the last. And now the company has added a full-size breaker, which weighs 65 pounds and delivers 50 foot-pounds of impact energy.
Hilti also has new 18-volt cordless tools, including a rotary hammer and a drywall screw gun. The screw gun is designed to run up to two hours and can be used with or without a collated screw magazine.
Hitachi is the second major player in the corded 61/2-inch-blade circ-saw market. It will be interesting to see if other brands get involved and make this size of saw a true tool class. The company's other new circ saw is a 71/4-inch metal-cutting model with a unique stainless steel shoe.
Other standout tools include a long-awaited 23-gauge pinner with a 13/8-inch capacity and a small civilized radio that utters hello and goodbye salutations when you switch it on or off. The radio is compatible with MP3 players and can be powered by many of the brand's slide or tower batteries.
Hitachi also released its first chain saws. Since the company owns outdoor power equipment manufacturer Tanaka, expect to see even more gas-powered tools coming out in green trade dress.
Makita has five new screw guns, with driving speeds of 2,500, 4,000, and 6,000 rpm. All share the same 6-amp motor; three are configured for drywall screws and two for larger fasteners. In true pro fashion, the higher rpm drywall guns are sold with 50-foot-long twist-lock cords.
Makita also introduced a small 7/8-inch rotary hammer that uses the same sequential hit pattern technology as the company's larger hammers. According to Makita, this mechanism pulverizes the concrete more evenly by synchronizing the blows and rotation of the bit so that the bit doesn't strike in the same place twice in succession.
Other big releases include 27- and 42-pound demo hammers with 19 and 26 foot-pounds of impact energy respectively, and a 12-inch version of the award-winning linear bearing miter saw.
Milwaukee entered the painting trades with an airless paint sprayer that does double duty as an HVLP sprayer for fine finishes. The tool can be rolled around the job with a bucket of paint on board, and it fits industry-standard spray tips.
In other corded news, new standard-duty Sawzalls with 12-amp motors are available with either a 3/4- or 11/8-inch stroke length, and the brand introduced its lightest and most compact 4-1/2-inch angle grinder ever. Milwaukee also continues to branch out its subcompact M12 cordless line with specialty tools like a right-angle drill, a no-hub fitting driver, and even a grease gun. The drill has a short 3-
3/4-inch head length and a 3/8-inch chuck. The no-hub driver is a dedicated plumber's tool for torquing down wormdrive clamps on flexible fittings to either 60 or 80 inch-pounds.
Milwaukee has ventured into the hand-tool business, too, with a jab saw, a multi-tip screwdriver, and utility knives. The saw has a unique drywall rasp on the side of the blade, and the driver features a new bit type invented by Milwaukee to better fit the special screw heads on electrical outlet and switch terminals.
Ridgid introduced the latest incarnation of its 10-inch-blade tile saw, which can cut 24-inch tile, even diagonally. The saw's unique motor head adjusts to three positions along its overhead rail to provide a wider cutting range, and its cart extends for extra-long cuts.
Other notably improved products include the easier-to-use MSUV folding miter saw stand, which is 40 percent lighter than its predecessor; an updated portable 10-inch table saw with a UL guard; and a more compact job-site radio supported by a flexible suspension system inside a roll cage. The radio has improved MP3 player adaptability and can run on the brand's 12-, 14.4-, and 18-volt tool batteries.
An impressively small cordless jigsaw is on the way as well. A planetary gear drive in the head of the tool accounts for its compact size, and the saw has settings for blowing away sawdust or – if the tool's attached to a vac – sucking it up.
Ryobi made a few additions to its Tek 4 line of devices, which run off a universal rechargeable battery. The most notable is an inexpensive two-gigabyte MP3 player built for rough use.
The company also has a cutting tool for laminate flooring that consists of a 5-inch-blade saw mounted to a base that holds flooring for crosscuts, rips, or angle cuts.

Support Women Artists Sunday: Tati Kalveks
Tati Kalveks is an 18-year -old girl from London who, as she describes it, is producing some beautifully poignant and funny songs. Her topics spread over a whole array of things, from female grooming habits to her love of gingers.
In one of her greatest songs, "Because I've Got Breasts" (or 'B.I.G. Breasts' for short) she sarcastically celebrates the fact that everyone in her life is more than happy with her to enter into an unstable career as a musician because one day she is going to marry a rich wealthy man. Why? Because she's got breasts, of course.
Says Tati about the song: "This one churned itself out of a song about not getting enough done, after enough people (family) pointed out to me …

The joys of a "child on the fringe"
posted at 12:31 pm on November 29, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
This may be the best read of all today, which mostly (but not entirely) doesn't pertain to politics. Cristina Nehring offers a painfully honest look at herself before and after the birth of her special-needs daughter. There are many compelling points Nehring makes, but this is one of the best:
It is sometimes said—and Solomon's book often echoes this bias—that autism is mysterious, Down syndrome is not. Autists are prodigies, introverts, misunderstood; people with Down syndrome are just dumb and dull. And yet, Eurydice has always been mysterious to me. To this day she does not speak—or, rather, she does not speak any publicly recognized language. But she has an enormous amount to say, uncanny capacities for observation, and startling social intelligence. In the French-English-German universe she inhabits, she has invented a vernacular all her own in which she makes orations so self-assured, well-inflected, and precisely punctuated by rhetorical gesticulation that strangers often inquire which language it is she's speaking.
Wherever she goes, she brings people together—imperiously gesturing to cantankerous couples to sit down together and lifting their palms onto each others' thighs, reconciling warring classmates by joining their hands, and charming child-leery adults with flirty smiles and studious imitations of their idiosyncrasies. Her gifts are the opposite of my own: Where I am shy, she is bold; where I am good with (known) words, she is good with drama, dance, and music; where I am frightened of groups, she loves them, and the children in her preschool compete hard to sit by her side at lunchtime as the nurses in her hospital petitioned to be assigned to her room.
Am I "cheerily generalizing" as Solomon says of other Down syndrome parents, "from a few accomplishments" of my child? Perhaps I am. But one thing I've learned these last four years that possibly Solomon has not: All of our accomplishments are few. All of our accomplishments are minor: my scribblings, his book, the best lines of the best living poets. We embroider away at our tiny tatters of insight as though the world hung on them, when it is chiefly we ourselves who hang on them. Often a dog or cat with none of our advanced skills can offer more comfort to our neighbor than we can. (Think: Would you rather live with Shakespeare or a cute puppy?) Each of us has the ability to give only a little bit of joy to those around us. I would wager Eurydice gives as much as any person alive.
Be sure to read it all.

No sport attracts life stories, liike bjj. However I felt compelled to write something after tonight's class with Professor Kone in picturesque Walthamstow. In what was a real busy mat, he was translating each position via a Polish translator to a visiting purple belt from Warsaw. If that wasn't impressive enough, he was also translating physically every position so that our visually impaired blue belt could learn and grasp each positional nuance.
Fucking awesome, what other sport could allow different languages, sizes and disabilities to compete and learn..?
Apologies for the non specific kind of posting, but tonight was something else on my bjj.....erm...journey.

Mick Jagger's girlfriend found dead of apparent suicide
Listen to The Rolling Stones on iHeartRadio
The girlfriend of rock star Mick Jagger, L'Wren Scott, has been found dead in a Manhattan apartment. The New York Daily News reports 49-year-old model and designer appears to have killed herself by hanging.
She was found inside an apartment in the Chelsea section of Manhattan around 10 this morning by her assistant.
The City Medical Examiner will determine the exact cause of death.
While Jagger is currently on tour, the Daily Mail reports that a spokesman for the rock star said he was 'completely shocked and devastated' by the heartbreaking news.
Scott and Jagger have been romantically linked together since 2001.
L'Wren was a stylist before breaking out into the design world and launching her first line in 2006. Fans of her work include celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Nicole Kidman, and even First Lady Michelle Obama. She was also reportedly tipped to design a wedding dress for Angelina Jolie.

Yes, you can flavor fondant with flavored extracts like Wilton Clear Vanilla Extract or No Color Butter Flavor. Just remember that if your extract is not clear, it will add color to your fondant. Knead in a drop or two at a time until the flavor is to your liking.

ByPatrick G. Lee
Law schools across the country are gearing up to greet the freshest batch of wannabe lawyers later this month. But some will be dealing with more than just ice cream socials and welcome parties – namely, lawsuits alleging the schools purposefully inflated employment statistics to attract more students.
Read here for full WSJ coverage.
Two lawsuits seeking class action status were filed today against Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Michigan and New York Law School. The several plaintiffs, who are all graduates of the defendant schools, seek $250 million from Cooley and $200 million from NYLS in tuition refunds, as well as other damages and reformed employment statistic reporting practices.
Both lawsuits state that the plaintiffs seek "to remedy a systemic, ongoing fraud that is ubiquitous in the legal education industry and threatens to leave a generation of law students in dire financial straits."
Plaintiffs' attorney David Anziska said his firm, Kurzon Strauss LLP, chose these two particular law schools in large part because of their large class sizes, with Cooley – at about 1,000 students in each year – the biggest in the country by far.
The lawsuits argue that the law schools have distorted their post-graduate employment information by advertising the percentage of those who secure any kind of job within nine months of graduation, even ones that don't have anything to do with the legal industry. They also allege that the reported amount for graduates' average salaries is inflated since it is derived from a narrow, self-selected pool of people who actually provide that information to the school.
A graduate of San Diego's Thomas Jefferson School of Law filed a similar class action suit in May, as reported here by the Law Blog.
Jim Thelen, Cooley's general counsel, told the Law Blog that if any of the plaintiffs or their attorneys has issue with how law schools report employment numbers, then they ought to take it up with the American Bar Association, or even the Department of Education – but not with individual law schools.
"These are nothing other than attempts to bring public attention to this issue," Thelen said, "and it certainly doesn't seem like the right way to go about it."
New York Law School Dean Richard Matasar said in a statement that the alleged claims "are without merit and we will vigorously defend against them in court."
Last month, Cooley filed a lawsuit against Kurzon Strauss LLP – the firm representing the plaintiffs in both of the cases filed today – for propagating defamatory ads on Craigslist and Facebook about the school. The postings were part of the law firm's investigation into how law schools report employment statistics. (Read here for previous Law Blog coverage.)
Kurzon Strauss attorneys have until tomorrow under Michigan state guidelines to respond to Cooley's lawsuit, Thelen said.
