Zack Greinke was not selected to this year's All-Star Game, but he still managed to strike out a few players who will be participating Tuesday at Citi Field.
Greinke dominated Saturday's game, pitching a two-hit shutout and striking out eight as the Dodgers beat the Rockies 1-0 at Dodger Stadium.
"Greinke didn't miss today, he was spot on," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "He took shots in and he got strikes in. He threw his fastball to both sides of the plate, but he didn't miss away.
"His slider, which starts away and then runs off the plate, was very effective. Like I said, he was locked in, he didn't miss."
Three of Greinke's strikeouts came against two National League All-Stars who will represent Colorado, outfielders Carlos Gonzalez and Michael Cuddyer.
Gonzalez, who has a .429 batting average against Greinke, went 0 for 3 and struck out once.
Cuddyer, who has a .270 batting average against Greinke, also went 0 for 3 and stuck out twice.
"He pitched great today," Cuddyer said. "It was 1-0 the whole game, every single time you come up to bat you're going to have a chance to tie the game, but he pitched great."
The only All-Star Greinke couldn't strike out was Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, who wasn't in the lineup.
Greinke retired the first 13 batters before finally allowing a single to first baseman Todd Helton in the top of the fifth.
Greinke, who has a 8-2 record with a 3.49 ERA and 68 strikeouts this season, can still be selected to the All-Star Game as an injury replacement.
Other spots might also be open. If an All-Star pitcher throws today, then that pitcher has to be replaced - opening the door for Greinke.

Trey Songz to celebrate 'Trigga' with iHeartRadio Album Release Party
Listen to Trey Songz Radio on iHeartRadio
Trey Songz is getting ready to release his new album Trigga and is celebrating with an iHeartRadio Album Release Party! The soulful singer will give an exclusive performance at iHeartRadio Theater Los Angeles where he will perform music from his new record, accompanied by a special Q&A to talk about Trigga.
Trigga is Trey's first album in two years, so fans won't want to miss out on this intimate performance. The album's recent single "Na-Na" peaked at #1 on the Billboard Rhythmic Chart, and his new song "SmartPhones" is quickly climbing the charts.
The best part is no fan has to miss out on Trey's iHeartRadio Album Release Party. Fans can tune in to a special broadcast of the show hosted by Nessa on Monday, June 30th at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT on Clear Channel on Mainstream Urban stations. Clear Channel CHR, Rhythmic CHR, and Urban AC stations will feature a video live stream on their websites, and fans can also catch the Album Release Party on Yahoo! Screen.
Trigga is set to be released on July 1st.

BROMSGROVE residents are being invited to a town service marking Holocaust Memorial Day.
Church leaders, council dignitaries and school pupils are among those who annually attend the Sanders Park service.
This year's event is being held at the memorial plaque in the Kidderminster Road-based park on Monday, January 27.
The theme of the 2014 Holocaust Memorial Day is journeys, looking at how these were often experiences of persecution and terror for people who suffered in the Holocaust under Nazi persecution and in the subsequent genocides.
Bromsgrove District Council's civic head, Councillor Helen Jones, said: "Every year as a community we mark Holocaust Memorial Day to remember the atrocities of the past and help ensure that they are never repeated.
"This year we will be thinking about the journeys people took during the persecutions brought about in the Holocaust and other genocides. I would like to invite everyone to take a step on our journey and join us in Sanders Park on Monday."
For more detail about the event call Sharon Chaplin on 01527 881484 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
For more on Holocaust Memorial Day, see hmd.org.uk.
The service is being held from 11.30am and afterwards there will be free refreshments in the bowling green's clubhouse.

A trip to the playoffs wasn't enough to save Jim Boylan's job with the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Bucks announced Wednesday that Boylan won't be offered a new contract. Though Milwaukee made the playoffs for the first time in three years under Boylan, the decision was expected after the Bucks lost 12 of their last 16 games, finishing with their third straight losing season and eighth in nine years.
The Bucks were then swept by the Miami Heat in the opening round, losing all four games by double digits.
Boylan was a longtime assistant under Scott Skiles, and he stepped in after his old boss left the team Jan. 8.
Bulls defend Rose
Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau and guard Kirk Hinrich strongly defended Derrick Rose after Wednesday's practice, answering questions about TNT broadcaster and former Bull Steve Kerr's comments that Rose "maybe owes it to his teammates" to return from left knee surgery because others are playing through injury.
"We don't feel that way," Hinrich told the Chicago Tribune. "It has been a very difficult year for Derrick. I've never experienced any sort of injury like that. I'm not one to speak on how anybody else's body feels. We know what kind of guy he is and what kind of teammate he is."

Lead Line — December 2003
By Richard Thiel
Lighter Jets, Faster Boats
|Boeing's strategy is notable because part of it could be applied to boats.
An interesting drama is playing out in the commercial aircraft industry that could have implications for boatbuilders. Airbus and Boeing are developing radically different next-generation aircraft to respond to what they each see as the future of commercial aviation.
Airbus believes a dearth of gates and landing slots will force airlines to cram people into very large aircraft that take them between hubs. Consequently, its airplane of the future is the A380, a twin-deck, two-aisle, four-engine behemoth that will seat 555 passengers in the standard three-class configuration.
Boeing believes the future lies in smaller, fuel-efficient aircraft taking passengers from destination to destination instead of hub. Smaller planes will be easier to fill, it says, and superior fuel efficiency will allow them to travel as far as either a 747 or A380. Thus Boeing's airliner of the future is the 7E7 Dreamliner, a two-engine, two-aisle design with a range of 7,000 to 8,000 NM and seating 200 to 250 passengers.
There's a lot riding on who prevails, but Boeing's strategy is notable because part of it could conceivably be applied to boats. It aims to achieve a new level of fuel efficiency via more efficient engines and next-generation composites that will reduce weight by as much as 20 percent compared to conventional aluminum construction. As for engines, Boeing enjoys an advantage no boatbuilder has. The world's largest manufacturer of commercial aircraft can virtually dictate to jet engine builders such as GE, Rolls Royce, and Pratt and Whitney. In fact, Boeing told them that if they wanted to sell engines for the 7E7, they'd have to come up with significantly more efficient engines. It would be wonderful if Sea Ray or Feadship could exert such leverage, but both are mere blips on the screen of corporations like General Motors (which builds the basic engines for MerCruiser) and MTU.
More applicable is Boeing's construction strategy, by which 60 percent of aluminum components on today's aircraft will be replaced with composites. Indeed, the 7E7 will be the first commercial jet with both wings and fuselage made of composites. The main material will be a blend of graphite and epoxy resin, and the wings will be a titanium-graphite mix, but a good deal of aluminum will still be used. In fact, Boeing has found that in many cases aluminum components were lighter than composites and, just as surprising, in some cases composites were not significantly more expensive than aluminum.
Boeing engineers have great faith in the quality and strength of very light composite components. But just to cover their bets, they've designed a network of sensors that will provide early warning of structural problems, obviating costly visual inspection.
Advanced construction won't be totally responsible for the 7E7's reduced weight; lighter hydraulics will play a part, too. But this airplane is proof that advanced composites can result in significant weight reduction at a reasonable cost and with no trade-off in structural strength. More important, it announces that the next generation of practical composite construction has arrived. The same breakthroughs that will create the world's most fuel-efficient jetliner could also create a new generation of boats and yachts that can go faster and farther on every gallon of fuel.

text: Hello, It is possible to view these files, but Torque/PBS stores the file on the local "mother superior" node while the job is running and only transfers them to their final resting place once the job is finished. Depending on what your credentials are, you can figure out what node your job is running and check in the torque/pbs spool directory for the files as they are being updated. It is nice to be able to view the files as they run just as you say to monitor the process of a simulation. I find myself doing this quite often for our users. I'm guessing this is what the scripts you mention are doing in an automated way. It would be nice, however, if this functionality was built in to PBS/Torque.

text: Over at his personal blog, music artist Derek Webb has a rather lengthy post detailing why he believes that giving away music for free is actually a good thing for the artist. Besides giving some insight concerning streaming services like Spotify or even purchasing albums from services like iTunes or Amazon, Webb spends his words on arguing for a relationship between himself and his fans. While his argument focuses throughout the post on the idea that giving away an album he would make relatively little from by selling it on iTunes will net him a gain through concert tickets, t-shirts, or even other albums from a merch table, Webb does conclude by suggesting that giving away albums for free actually increases the value of music, rather than decreasing it.

LONG BEACH — The Obama Administration on Monday named Longfellow Elementary School among 78 schools in 29 states as first-ever U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools.
The schools were named for maintaining excellent environmental programs and practices.
Longfellow, in the Long Beach Unified School District, is one of three schools to be selected in Los Angeles County. The other two campuses are Environmental Charter High School in the Lawndale Elementary School District, and Grand View Elementary School in the Manhattan Beach Unified School District.
"We're all so very excited and honored," said Longfellow principal Laurie Murrin.
The campus has been involved in a recycling program for three years, Murrin said.
Students use purple recycling bins to sort their trash. The bins are divided into six categories: energy bar wrappers, chip bags, plastic bags, city recycling, juice pouches and cookie wrappers.
For students at Longfellow Elementary at 3800 Olive Ave. in North Long Beach, recycling is more than a lunchtime activity; it's a way of life, the principal said in an interview with the Press-Telegram last week.
"It's become part our campus culture," Murrin added.
Longfellow was chosen as one of just four schools to represent California in the Green Ribbon program.
The awards program, unveiled by U.S. Department of Education in September, recognizes "green" schools that successfully incorporate environmental learning and a commitment to protect the environment.
Each state was allowed to submit up to four nominees, one of which must be a private school. The national winners were announced Monday to coincide with Earth Day on Sunday.
Longfellow was chosen out of some 52 applications in the state.
California Department of Education officials said Longfellow was chosen in part because of its many green awards, including the 2011-12 California K-12 School Recycling Challenge award.
Among its efforts, Longfellow has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 34 percent with everyday changes in behavior. It also donates leftover cafeteria food to a food bank each day.

What's the NEXT step for removing the door panel to diagnose broken window regulators
I'm kinda stuck out of fear (deer in the headlights) so I ask what's the NEXT step in the removal of the 2002 BMW 525i driver's side door panel.
All I'm trying to do is DIAGNOSE what to fix/make/buy to repair my drivers side door.
I read many DIYs (and summarized the steps here & even corrected the steps here) ... but now I'm stuck.
I'm shocked that none of the drivers side door regulator DIYs (that I read) showed the next step once the panel is removed.
It "might" be as simple as tearing off the black vapor barrier; but it could be more complex than than (e.g., do I need to remove the air bag?). I guess, since I can't find a drivers side door panel DIY that explains the next step, that it must either be shockingly easy (like just tear the vapor barrier off) or they're all missing a step. Sigh. (My DIYs never skip a single step!).
Starting after the 33 steps from here ... what is the next step to just "see" what is wrong with my drivers side window (it just fell down and is currently taped up)?
1 Attachment(s)
I'm still searching (for a few hours) for the answer.
Unfortunately, when the last E39 guy asked the exact same question:
But, guess what?
NONE of the front driver's door regulator DIYs have this information (as far as I can see).
I'm not sure what the next step is.
Is it?
- Remove the airbag?
- Remove the speakers?
- Peel away the entire vapor barrier?
To replace the door handle I've removed the air bag after disconnecting the battery, but I don't think you need to for the windoe regulator. I'd disconnect the battery anyway and keep my head away from there.
I've disconnected the speaker long black thing before to get at the regulator but I don't remember if it was necessary. Start by carefully peeling back the black foam down low to check out the regulator?
I see some hints (although not a DIY by any means) in this E46 thread from about a year ago:
- Driver Window Goes Off track
But I'm not sure if the E46 is the same as the E39. Anyway, as I keep digging for the answer, I'll post what I find until the answer is known.
In summary, here's what not to do (at least on the E46):
- Do not disconnect the airbag
- Slowly remove the vapor barrier
It says nothing of the speaker, which the previous poster (for the E39) did have to remove.
Here's the exact quote:
Our posts crossed. Thanks for helping (I was wondering why the world was so silent on this.)
When you say start by peeling the foam "down low", what do you mean by 'down low'?
Do you mean for me to start from the middle of the bottom and peel upward?
Disconnect the battery if you have not yet. Then remove the airbag and carefully tear the vapor barrier. I would work from the top half and leave the bottom part alone (if the bottom seal is still tight). When you put back the vapor barrier, make sure to seal it up nice and tight. I used the 3M Windo-weld with a hairdryer while pressing down with the metal flat end of a trim removal tool.
Here's another partial explanation (who knows if it's right or wrong though):
Who knows, though, if the speakers or airbag or other components were removed prior in that particular post (they don't say).
The E46 driver's door window regulator DIY, which I read while you and I were cross posting moments ago, also says to remove the airbag and a "thing" that's held on by torx bolts - but of course, the entire E46 is different than the E39 so that's why I can't just follow that DIY verbatim.
This is a picture of the removed airbag in the E46:
And this is a picture of the removed "thing" in the E46:
To summarize above:
Disconnect battery
Disconnect airbag
Remove Airbag
Remove speaker box
Peel vapor barrier.

The E39 is parked outside with the door wide open, and it's going to have to stay that way outside 'cuz it's cold (California cold, that is, at 41°F). But, more importantly, it's dark. I can't take pictures for you guys, for the DIY in the dark.
For the record, I culled from as many DIYs as I could, the following instructions (and modified them as I did it):
The problem with these instructions, so far, is that they either conflict with others, or they stop at the point I'm stuck at!
Or, they assume you already have the door panel and vapor barrier off - and they just discuss the regulators.

On page 512-11 of my 2002 E39 Bentley manual, there's a continuation (of sorts) of the previous door-trim removal instructions.
Front window regulator removing and installing (512-11):
I guess, in the daylight, I will remove the airbag.
In summary, unfortunately, if the Bentley instructions are correct, we need to remove the airbag (but not the speaker); then the vapor barrier; and then we need to unclip the window glass (but not actually remove the glass from the door).
That's if the Bentleys are right (and I've seen 'em wrong many times!).
- Are the Bentleys nearly as useless to you as they are for me?
1 Attachment(s)
The Bentleys have the airbag listed, but in reverse order (i.e., they remove the airbag and then disconnect the airbag).
Also, there is NOTHING in the Bentleys about removing the "speaker box".
By the way, is the "speaker box" the same as the "speaker" that I see in the middle of my picture below?
I also did a thorough review of both (sending it privately to cegeste), showing where they were similar but also where they differed from my situation.
I am a firm believer in a 1:1 ratio of my effort to DIY (meaning, if I have to fix something, I should strive to write a DIY). Or at least advance the knowledge. To my knowledge, the stuff I'm running into is not in one spot (it's scattered all over Timbuktu); so I'll try to assemble it here, as I go along.
To that end, I worked past midnight on writing the pictorial DIY (it's amazing how just uploading annotated pictures & writing a DIY takes sooooo much time) and I added everything I could from the Bentleys.
Now that it's light out (and warm), I'm gonna tackle this again. I haven't detached the master switch or figured out how that diabolical tweeter connector disengages ... so I had left it the way it was when nightfall overtook me yesterday.
(I haven't checked, but my door is still wide open so I hope the GPS and camera are still there.)

Well, after a nice hike today in the sunny weather (wanna see pics of the Silicon Valley from a few thousand feet above it on a bright sunny day like today?) ... I started working again on the still-open door to free the panel from the wires.
Maybe these things are intuitive to you, but I stared at the tweeter connection and the three diabolical connectors on the master switch for fifteen minutes like a mouse eying cheese on a mousetrap ... trying to figure out how to disconnect them.
The bees were all around me as I finally figured it all out; but the door panel is now unconnected ... and the hot California sun is heating up the vapor barriers.
BTW, looking at the door, I'm not sure I have to remove either the air bag or the midrange box ... as the vapor barrier seems to "flow" around both of them ... but I'll soon find out.
The screws/bolts for airbag and speakers go right through vapor barrier. There is vapor barrier material behind these items.
To get a look you may not have to remove, but should you have to replace the regulator, you will have to remove.
Try this DIY for front regulator (on a 528), it has much of what you already have done:
And some other info:
Hope this helps.

At that point, pulling off the front drivers door vapor barrier was 'almost' a breeze. That fustugeneh center clip was the only thing holding it back on!
After trying a half-dozen differently shaped pliers, I was able to get the center clip plastic off ... and then the vapor barrier was off!
So, in summary, to remove the vapor barrier, you must:
HINDSIGHT: I should have marked the direction of the plastic on that center clip with nail polish! Too late now (luckily I have hundreds of pictures).

I was referring time to time to that passenger-side PDF ... and I had the DanWiz window regulator DIY ... but Dan started with the regulator on the table so he's way ahead of me!
Anyway, I placed a few cloves of garlic on the battery & airbag to ward off voodoo SRS demons ... and reconnected the airbag and the three connectors to the master switch (HINDSIGHT ALERT: I spent five minutes trying to figure out why the white connector wouldn't go back into the master switch until I realized it's a black connector ... next time I'm MARKING all the connectors before taking them out!).
I have no clue what I'm looking for ... but I can see things going up and down (just not the window following them) ... when I press the switches.
Here's a pic ... I'll take a video also (if I can remember how I posted to youtube last time I did a video). Nothing seems to be broken but the window is definitely not attached to whatever it's supposed to be attached to though ...

I'm still looking for what's wrong.
I don't see anything broken, per se. But, it's all Greek to me as I can't imagine HOW this thing works! :(
What does THIS look like to you as to a diagnosis of the problem?
Is the window holder supposed to have a hitch like that when it is 85% of the way up? It looks like the holder is catching something on the track. That does not appear to be right. This appears to be a mechnical vice electrical issue.
After watching it second time, I notice that the holder stops at a different point along the track on the first and second time up. Something is amiss. But it is hard to tell from a video.
After watching it a few more times, the sound it makes as it nears the top of the track is not normal. I suspect that something is catching the holder on the track. The fact that it twists a little bit also does not seem right. The holder should slide up the track with no unusal sound or side to side motion.
I watched it over and over and over again - like a kid watching a cartoon. Then, I realized, the "hitch" was simply due to the window "clamps" wiggling because there was no window in them.
It took a bit of trial and error - but basically once the window went in place (and the wires were aligned with their guides) - the thing worked.
Fustugeneh BMW design. All that apparently happened was that both window clamps let go of the bottom of the window!
All I did was put the window back into the clamps where it originally was!
One question though:
Q: Do people put locktite on those T20 torx screws?
Here's a video of the working door:
DIY to follow (I hope).
Blue, I have a buddy of mine who is in auto glass. I will hopefully be replacing my driver front regulator next week and he owes me some work. I will set up my cam and record the procedure from start to finish. I may have to lay some music over the original audio do to language :)

I always try (but often fail) to write a DIY after every repair job (so that others wouldn't have to go through what I did figuring things out).
Personally, I'll wager there are (at least) two types of people:
- People who only need rudimentary DIYs (even those for other vehicles)
- People (like me) who need detailed DIYs (preferably for exactly our problem)
In "my" DIY (if I ever write it), I'll add all my lessons learned (of which they were legion). Over time, if we strive to create the DIYs, then all our work will be more efficient.
BTW, here's a video of the complete E39 regulator job, but it's for the rear (not the front). :(
Here is my door today ... with the window in the holding clamps this time (before I put it back together):

Who cares if these new features are apparently "copying" other manufacturers? They're still good, useful features. Think of the first production car with xenon HID headlights in the mid 1990's. Many other car makes followed suit because it's a superior type of automotive lighting. Does that mean the other car manufacturers "copied" the first?
This sounds like a great update to me. Hope it works okay with my 3GS, or maybe I'll just wait until we upgrade to the next iPhone (4S or 5 or whatever it may be).
And count me as another who could care less about the Twitter crap.
A bit disappointed.
None of the features really seem all that great.
I'll still do cabled syncing for my Music (I'm not paying 25 bucks a year for music I already own)
The notification system doesn't really appeal to me. Am I the only one who doesn't like mobile notifier?
Looks like a next gen biteSMS will still be needed for my quick reply & compose.
Overall, I'll upgrade my 3Gs to this before selling, however without a new hardware announcement this entire event felt deflated...
Finally iMessages
Is it JB yet
How would we jailbreak then? If all our updates will be from the idevice? Then what would happen if we had it jailbroken, then updated wirelessly? would the update effect the jailbroken state? If so, what would happen?
Anyone know where I can find the 'please please register my UDID so I can haz iOS 5.0 beta' thread?
I'm waiting to heard from Saurik, comex, chpwn, ect... I wanna know what OTA updates mean for jailbreaking. Jailbreakers have more or less all of these features and since iCloud supports 4.3 I see no need for iOS5 if it means no jailbreak.
If anyone has an open spot for me on their dev account. It would be greatly appreciated. Sorry I'm not paying though.
If there's any "forcing" that happens I can already see a slew of lawsuits happening. Consumers have the right to stay on an older iOS whether it's currently supported or not.
They could have at least teased us with details of the next iphone to keep people from going over to the android darkside....looks like its time for me to get a 4G data plan... HA
P.S....bc of the money I've spent on idevices and apps I now see how apple slowly leads us like lamps to slaughter. After spending so much money you've be a fool to completely jump ship.......

On a winter afternoon at S.S. Seward Institute in Florida, NY,
Michelle Watch, a student teacher from Mount Saint Mary College,
led her living environment class in taking interactive notes.
Spread throughout the presentation were engaging photos of frogs
and insects, lively discussions and plenty of class participation
from the ninth grade students. As they split into groups to
complete the accompanying assignment, Watch showcased a model of an
internal organ to answer a student's impromptu inquiry.
"I love kids and I love discovery," said Watch, a biology major
from Westtown, NY. "It's so enjoyable to see them interested in
something, to be able to encourage learning and help them discover
that learning is a lifelong process."
The placement with longtime science teacher Ernie Vanderkruik
marked Watch's first major teaching experience in public
She will remain in Vanderkruik's class for her second
experience, in which she will lead high school seniors in a college
level course.
"Ernie is very knowledgeable in his content area," she said
about her mentor. "He's willing to share that knowledge with me and
give me pointers on my teaching. I feel very fortunate working with
Vanderkruik observed that Watch is developing a keen sense of
planning and flexibility, as well as gaining confidence in her
teaching ability.
"I cannot wait to continue working with her to see how she will
inform my teaching," he said.
The Mount's courses were vital in Watch's preparation in the
classroom and evolution as a teacher. Chemistry professor Lynn
Maelia "had a great influence" on her, she explained, adding that
all of her natural science and education professors encouraged her
to succeed.
"I got to see those professionals in action, and they really
inspired me," Watch said, of her Mount education. "They go out of
their way to help you and guide you."
S.S. Seward Institute principal Michael Rheaume is a 1991
graduate of Mount Saint Mary College with a degree in childhood
education and special education. He credits the college with
preparing him for success: particularly courses with Paul Schwartz
(psychology), Kate Lindemann (philosophy), and Joan Miller
"I owe Dr. Miller a whole lot," said Rheaume. "She's an awesome
teacher and a wonderful mentor."
Watch finds her new environment and responsibilities
challenging. She handles the occasional behavior management issues
pragmatically, explaining, "The only way that you can learn about
that, and prepare for that in your own classroom, is to learn how
to do it during student teaching."
She admitted, "It's a stressful time, but there's so much to
learn. This has been an invaluable experience."
The blossoming teacher's successes outweigh her struggles.
Watch's students often ask her questions that go beyond the
material covered on the tests she administers. That's a good thing,
she said – in doing so, they demonstrate a higher level of
"You know the teaching profession was made for you when you're
able to have that kind of discussion with your students," Watch
explained. "That's an 'aha' moment."
Watch's experience has confirmed what she already knew.
"This is what I want to do with the rest of my life. There's no
doubt in my mind."
More than 16 percent of current first year students at the Mount
aim for careers in education. The college's nationally accredited
education program embeds fieldwork in coursework beginning in
sophomore year, and earns high marks in preparing students for New
York State licensure.
It's not uncommon for Mount alumni to take the college's student
teachers under their wings.
Elsewhere in the Mount's large network of student teaching
sites, Kelly Dempsey, a history major from Hicksville, NY, was
experiencing her own triumphs.
Working with Barbara Rubin, a 1993 Mount graduate with a degree
in history, Dempsey says the 3,500 high school students at Newburgh
Free Academy can teach her as much as she can teach them.
"I'm really proud of making relationships with the students,"
she said. "The more they feel you know them, the more they'll give
back to you."
Mount students often find the college's many co-curricular and
extracurricular activities useful in becoming a well-rounded
For Dempsey, a Mount basketball player, connecting to her
students through sports is easy. Dempsey enjoys spending time with
students at school basketball games, and in doing so, she learns
more about their academic needs. Additionally, Dempsey and her
father have taught basketball camp classes in their home town for
the last four years.
"You can transfer that experience from the court to the
classroom," she said.
At the Mount, professors Frances Spielhagen and Dolores
Berlinghoff were instrumental in molding Dempsey into a confident
"Dr. Spielhagen taught a few of my classes, and they were the
most instructional," said Dempsey. "She's a great teacher." And Dr.
Berlinghoff is "amazing. Anything you need, she's happy to
Dempsey's classmate, Christina Cruz, a math major from
Plainfield, NJ, also accomplished her first student teaching
experience at Newburgh Free Academy.
Cruz is adjusting to her new responsibilities "nicely," she
said. "At first it can be nerve-wracking in front of the classroom.
You're not sure how the students will react to you. But it's a
worthwhile experience. I've grown so much."
Cruz says she's learned how to project her voice, handle
behavior issues in the classroom, and command her students'
But perhaps her greatest accomplishment so far is her impact on
the students. After reaching out to those in her class who were
struggling with the material, Cruz noted marked improvement in
their grades.
"That's my triumph, when I see the students asking questions,
wanting to learn, and doing well," she said. "I explain math to
them, saying, 'It's not as hard as it looks.' As soon as that light
bulb goes off in their heads, you can tell that they get it."
And helping that "light bulb" go off in Cruz's head is her
cooperating teacher, Joanna Muller.
"Anytime I have a question, she's always willing to help," said
Cruz, whose future is looking bright; she wants to teach urban
students who have difficulty in traditional classroom settings.
"Coming from my background, you can do anything that you set
your mind to," said Cruz, a first generation college student.
"Teachers have it in them to be motivational people in a student's
At the Mount, Cruz was motivated and inspired by professors
Berlinghoff and James DiLorenzo.
"They're always finding a better way to teach so that we
understand it," she said.
For Christopher Vollaro, an English major from Poughkeepsie, NY,
finding great ways to teach has become his passion. At Dutchess
BOCES in Poughkeepsie, Vollaro leads special education students,
under the watchful eye of Maria Sita, a 1999 graduate of Mount
Saint Mary College.
"The experience so far has been really good. I've built up a
good relationship with each of the kids," said Vollaro.
He said that Sita is an excellent educator.
"I've been really lucky to work with Maria. She's been really
helpful to me; she doesn't make me feel under pressure," Vollaro
observed. "And Maria has a great rapport with the kids."
Creating a lesson for fourth through sixth graders which "lends
itself to all of the different academic levels in the classroom"
can be difficult. But Vollaro pointed out that Mount educators like
Joan Miller taught him how to achieve that balance.
"It was worth it to go through the Mount's teaching program,"
said Vollaro. "Now that I'm getting results in the classroom, it's
all coming together."

RANCHO CUCAMONGA - After denying a conditional use permit for a funeral home in the Etiwanda area, city leaders say they're open to Service Corporation International bringing the project to another part of town.
Councilmember Diane Williams and Mayor Dennis Michael indicated there is available land in other areas of town, such as the more commercially developed areas along Foothill Boulevard. Such development, they said, would likely not create the kind of resistance SCI had faced for months from residents.
Dann Narveson, real estate director for SCI, on Tuesday said executives are still determining how to move forward. After the City Council's Nov. 7 denial, Narveson said the possibility of SCI developing in another part of the city is being given "a great deal of consideration."
City leaders said a major factor for the denial of the conditional use permit came from the emotional distress residents testified would occur if the project was built near their homes. City officials cited a development policy in the city's general plan aimed at protecting neighborhoods from "encroachment of incompatible activities or land uses that may have a negative impact on the residential living environment."
Associate city planner Mike Smith said the policy provides instruction for councilmembers to deny projects that negatively impact a neighborhood.
"There's no means to measure this discomfort and no means to mitigate it but the significance of this discomfort cannot be disregarded and must be considered when determining the compatibility of a project with its surroundings," Smith said.
Williams said SCI is welcome to bring the funeral home to town, though such projects shouldn't intrude on an already-established neighborhood.
"There are a lot of other places they can go," said Williams, suggesting a better place would be an area at least three-quarters commercially developed. "There are several empty buildings on Foothill, and there are empty spaces."
Williams said she was concerned that children who live adjacent to a proposed funeral home would encounter people in mourning or in "emotional states" on a regular basis.
Michael, who also indicated the funeral home could find a more appropriate spot along Foothill Boulevard, agreed with Williams.
"The No. 1 factor was what the psychological impact would be in the neighborhood and for the youth living there," Michael said. "Families that live and purchased their homes there never once thought there would be a funeral home, and the reminder of death on a daily basis when they walk out their front doors or look out their windows."
Councilman Sam Spagnolo said there were "a lot of areas in the city that would best fit the funeral home based on traffic and proximity to restaurants."
"There are a lot of areas the Planning Commission is willing to sit down with SCI and discuss," Spagnolo said.
Councilman Bill Alexander said Rancho Cucamonga is obviously a city that can accommodate the funeral home, though "the location was a problem." He cited the impassioned testimony of residents against the project being located at the proposed site.
"I don't think it would have been a positive change for Etiwanda," Alexander said.

well, thanks for the advice and the ego check.
I have used Vaseline to protect against wetsuit rashes since the late 70's with no problem/damage to the suit.
I have used mineral oil - either baby oil or Banana Boat spf 15 dark tanning oil - for years with no problem. I rub some on my underarms and if necessary neck and voila - no rash.
Maybe try not turning your head!
they make stuff called 'suit juice' that works well... in the past I have just spread some shampoo over the area that is rashing before suiting up (my armpits a few suits ago)- works like a charm... i don't know if its good for the suit, but it sure does make it smell better.
A quick google search came up with this...
"You can use a little beeswax or special wetsuit lube on the zip, to prevent it from snagging the material. Never, ever use petroleum jelly." Runner's World

M. soccer lose a close one 1-0September 6, 2009
Coker wins against Brevard 1-0
Coker improved to 5-0 while the Tornados become 0-4 on a young season.
The lone goal of the game came off of a Coker corner kick by Alan Cuevas. Cuevas hooked the kick from the right side of the net and was able to get it behind goalkeeper Jack Shaw after Tornado defender, Ian Townson, got a head on it.
Brevard kept Coker scoreless in the second period while controlling the ball for the majority of the time, but were not able to get one of their shots near the goal.
Shaw saved three of the four shots on goal that the Tornados allowed. His counterpart, James Sweeney, faced just one shot on goal from the Tornados and saved it.
The Tornados return to the field on Tuesday when Erskine visits Brevard for a 4 p.m. match.

Pros, cons of prostate cancer screening topic of USC symposium
A symposium titled "Pros and Cons of Prostate Cancer Screening" Thursday, Sept. 15, at the University of South Carolina will feature two of the nation's leading experts on prostate cancer.
Dr. Richard Ablin, who discovered the prostate specific antigen (PSA), and Dr. Oliver Sartor, the principal investigator for pivotal clinical trials for two of the most recently discovered treatments for prostate cancer, will speak at the event, set for 3 p.m. in USC's Russell House Theater.
The symposium is free and open to the public. Other speakers will include Dr. Charles Bennett, who holds the endowed chair of the Medication Safety and Efficacy Center of Economic Excellence (CoEE); Johnny Payne, a prostate cancer community educator with UsTOO; urologist Dr. Stan Greenberg of Columbia; internist Dr. Allan Brett, a USC School of Medicine faculty member; and Dr. Abe Wandersman, a professor in USC's department of psychology.
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed non-skin cancer among men. Aside from non-melanoma skin cancer, prostate has the lowest mortality rate of any common cancer. However, African-American men in South Carolina have a prostate cancer death rate that is about 2.5 times that of European-American men and about 50 percent higher than African Americans for the country as a whole. Current guidelines from the American Cancer Society recommend that men make an informed decision with their provider about whether to get screened.
Ablin, a research professor of immunobiology and pathology at the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Tucson, discovered the PSA in 1970. Last year, after several large cohort studies showed no survival advantage for men who are screened aggressively and some evidence that early detection caused additional harmful side effects, Ablin wrote in an op-ed in the New York Times that PSA testing had resulted in some men receiving "unnecessary and debilitating treatment" for prostate cancer.
Sartor, the medical director of the Tulane Cancer Center, is the Bernadine Laborde Professor of Cancer Research in the departments of medicine and urology at the Tulane University School of Medicine. He is an internationally renowned cancer researcher and is highly regarded for his expertise in treating patients with advanced prostate cancer.
The event is sponsored by USC's Arnold School of Public Health and the Cancer Prevention and Control Program, the South Carolina College of Pharmacy, and the South Carolina Center for Economic Excellence (CoEE) in Medication Safety and Efficacy. The South Carolina Cancer Alliance and USC's Institute for Partnerships to Eliminate Health Disparities and College of Pharmacy at USC are also promoting this event.

Unhealthy cholesterol levels are linked to having a poor diet, lack of exercise, being overweight, age, heredity, and other factors.
Poor diet
The unhealthy foods most likely to raise your LDL cholesterol are those that contain saturated fat and trans-fatty acids.
Lack of exercise
Lack of physical activity can lead to high LDL cholesterol. On the other hand, regular exercise can increase good cholesterol, lower bad cholesterol, decrease your risk for heart disease, and improve your overall health.
Being overweight
Overweight people often don't have enough HDL (good) cholesterol, and their triglycerides are often too high. Their LDL (bad) cholesterol may be too high as well. Furthermore, obesity increases the risk for high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes, which put you at risk for developing heart disease.
Older age
Cholesterol levels tend to rise in both men and women as they get older. This is very important because heart disease is the number one cause of death for both men AND women:
Genetics play an important role in determining your blood cholesterol level. Children and teens should have their cholesterol checked if family members have had either early heart disease or total cholesterol levels greater than 240 mg/dL. Early heart disease is defined as a father, brother, uncle, or grandfather who developed heart disease before age 55, or a mother, sister, aunt, or grandmother before age 65.

Topic: My 73 Year Old Dad, Diagnosed 2 days ago with Advanced CholangioCarcin
Hi All,
I guess I am here the same as everyone else, for support. My Dad, My Hero, was just diagnosed with Advanced CholangioCarcinoma. He also has a large mass in his Stomach as well as Liver and Lymph Node Involement.
Currently in the past month he has lost 25 pounds, has no appetite, vomits all the time, and is in pain in his abdomen and back. He is scheduled to undergo an endoscopic procedure this coming Wednesday to confirm the severity of the disease. They are also hoping to place a stent in the bile duct to relieve some of the pressure.
Any comment or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks Lisa

Jerrod Johnson Scouting Report
|Texas A&M Aggies

2011 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Jerrod Johnson, QB, Texas A&M
Ever since his freshman campaign, Johnson has been a promising dual-threat quarterback. In 2007 he only saw action in five games and only threw seven passes, but two of those went for touchdowns and he added three more scores on the ground. In 2008 Johnson was a wide receiver before taking over the quarterback duties due to an injury to starter Stephen McGee. Starting ten games, Johnson threw for 21 touchdowns and ten interceptions. That is not too bad for a player who had no experience and was forced into duty. The 2009 season was Johnson's big year. He threw for 3,579 yards and 30 touchdowns and was only intercepted eight times. He also rushed for 506 yards and added eight more scores on the ground.
Johnson's future is probably not at quarterback, although at 6-5 and 245 pounds, he has the look of a nice dual-threat NFL quarterback. However, he has never been an efficient or accurate passer and if he cannot keep the job at Texas A&M, he certainly will not make the cut at the next level. Unless his shoulder injury seriously hindered his ability to pass or he starts working on catching the ball again, Johnson will likely go undrafted.

HOWARDS COVE – A Tignish fisherman pulled the engine box off his burning boat and used it as a raft while he waited to be rescued early this morning off of West Point.
The fisherman, Adam Gaudet, was alone in his boat when it caught fire. He had left overnight from Murray Corner, N.B., where he had a fall lobster gear, to sail his boat home to P.E.I. for the winter.
Around 4:30 a.m. Gaudet contacted Coast Guard to report his boat, Rather Have Ruffles, was on fire.
Howard's Cove fisherman Robbie Cooke, was contacted shortly before 5 a.m. and sailed out with four O'Leary firefighters and auxiliary Coast Guard member Floyd Cook on board.
"He was on the phone the whole time with 911, sitting in his engine box," Cooke said in describing Gaudet's predicament. "He flipped his engine box upside down. He was half a mile from his boat, floating in the engine box."
Besides his cellphone, Cooke said Gaudet had two life jackets, a flare kit and a plastic shovel with him. He was using the shovel as a paddle.
The stranded fisherman advised Coast Guard he would fire off a flare once the rescue boat came in view.
"We got a beat on him, and sailed right to him," Cooke reported, subsequently locating him with the aid of the boat's searchlight.
"I didn't even have to leave the wheel," Cooke said. "They wrestled him right on board."

December 17, 2012
President Obama and Congress are looking for ways to stave off the looming "fiscal cliff," the dreaded combination of tax hikes and spending cuts set to hit the United States next year. Democrats and Republicans have distinct ideas about how best to reduce the deficit, and many are eyeing tax loopholes and deductions.
That's politically thorny, as some tax deductions are popular with voters. Americans get tax breaks for, among other things, giving money to charity. But an Economic Experts Panel, polled regularly by Booth's Initiative on Global Markets, shows there's widespread agreement for eliminating some well-known tax deductions. Economists say eliminating personal and business deductions would lead to "more efficient financing decisions."
IGM regularly polls several dozen top economists to gauge their opinions on major public policy issues. The economists are all senior faculty at elite US research universities including Harvard, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Princeton, Stanford, Yale, the University of Chicago, and the University of California, Berkeley. A year ago, the IGM sent its panel a pair of questions related to tax reform.
The first question asked if eliminating deductions for non-investment personal interest rate expenses, such as mortgages, would lead individuals to make more efficient financing decisions. The second asked if reducing the deductibility of interest expenses for non-financial businesses would lead firms to make more efficient financing decisions. Both queries specified that these cuts would be accompanied by reduced tax rates that would be budget neutral and keep the burden of taxes by income group the same.
Most panelists agreed: 85 percent said that eliminating the personal deductions would create more efficiency, and 65 percent said reducing the business deductions would do the same. When the economists' answers were weighted by confidence in their conclusions, 90 percent and 85 percent were in agreement, respectively.
Responding to the first question, Anil Kashyap, Edward Eagle Brown Professor of Economics and Finance and Charles M. Harper Faculty Fellow, said, "There is no good reason for using the tax system to subsidize home purchases. Lower rates and a broader tax base are the way to go."
Such skepticism was consistent with previous work on this topic by economists. Stanford's Pete Klenow, for example, highlighted past related research, including a paper co-authored by Jesse Shapiro, professor of economics, that had found problems with the mortgage interest deduction back in 2002.
But some were cognizant of the political realities surrounding popular tax breaks. Given the weak housing market, politicians can't suddenly drop the mortgage interest deduction, wrote Richard Thaler, Ralph and Dorothy Keller Distinguished Service Professor of Behavioral Science and Economics. He suggested it would be best to phase out that deduction "very gradually." —Emily Lambert

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by sureletsrace, Jan 9, 2013.
Thank you for the info, though I hope the source is wrong about the Team wanting Sparano as OC.
No ties in particular with Garrett, but he is from East Texas and has mentioned more than once that the Cowboys have always been his favorite team...
Yes, her name is Lois. The dad's name is Peter Griffin, though like most sitcoms based on families, who the main character is kind of rotates from episode to episode.
There's an alcoholic talking dog named Bryan, an evil talking baby named Stewie who tries to kill his mom, plus he's hinted as having a homosexual crush on the dog...
Doesn't sound like stuff I'd enjoy.
I don't blame ya, it's really a stupid show.
Kinda way off the original post guys ....back between the white lines.
Oh man no way I want Sparano here, I would rather have Callahan than him, Callahan made some progress with the line.
Sparano was awful as a HC and the Jets were bad but he really helped that get worse.
K. Moving on...
None of the stray stuff got personal. It was all joking around. Unless I missed some scuds.
I don't want Sparano back, and doubt he'd be back. Norv I'd buy, even though I'm not convinced he's coming.
I think the only way Lovie comes here is if JJ promised him the HC job if JG doesn't show him something next season. Like I read somewhere else, usually the last guy to get fired is the one doing all the firing.
this i can believe
And you know what? I really wouldn't have any issue with a promise like that.
I think it would be unlikely if he did get a HC position. No one prefers defensive minded head coaches, much less retread defensive minded head coaches who consistently put miserable, boring offenses on the field and have only taken their teams to the playoffs once in the last 5 seasons.
Retread coaches that are in high demand get snapped up quickly (Andy Reid). If any team felt Lovie was the guy, they would have snapped him up by now. It's not like he's some unproven commodity that requires a lot of background checking.
The messes in NY and Miami were hardly Sparano's fault.

Haskell and mathematics
From HaskellWiki
Haskell is growing in popularity among mathematicians. As one blogger put it:
- "after my involving myself in the subject, one thing that stands out is the relatively low distance between thought expressed in my ordinary day-to-day mathematical discourse, and thought expressed in Haskell code."
- "How can Haskell not be the programming language that all mathematicians should learn?"
To paraphrase Hilbert ("Physics is too complicated for Physicists"), the relative obscurity of Haskell (a language with a strict notion of functions, higher-order-functions, and types) amongst mathematicians may be that:
- "Haskell is too mathematical for many mathematicians."
This page collects resources for using Haskell to do mathematics.
1 Textbooks
- Kees Doets and Jan van Eijck
- The Haskell Road to Logic, Maths and Programming
- King's College Publications, London, 2004. ISBN 0-9543006-9-6 (14.00 pounds, $25.00).
Book description:
The purpose of this book is to teach logic and mathematical reasoning in practice, and to connect logical reasoning with computer programming. Throughout the text, abstract concepts are linked to concrete representations in Haskell. Everything one has to know about programming in Haskell to understand the examples in the book is explained as we go along, but we do not cover every aspect of the language. Haskell is a marvelous demonstration tool for logic and maths because its functional character allows implementations to remain very close to the concepts that get implemented, while the laziness permits smooth handling of infinite data structures. We do not assume that our readers have previous experience with either programming or construction of formal proofs. We do assume previous acquaintance with mathematical notation, at the level of secondary school mathematics. Wherever necessary, we will recall relevant facts. Everything one needs to know about mathematical reasoning or programming is explained as we go along. We do assume that our readers are able to retrieve software from the Internet and install it, and that they know how to use an editor for constructing program texts.
Book description:
This book introduces the main topics of discrete mathematics with a strong emphasis on applications to computer science. It uses computer programs to implement and illustrate the mathematical ideas, helping the reader to gain a concrete understanding of the abstract mathematics. The programs are also useful for practical calculations, and they can serve as a foundation for larger software packages. Designed for first and second year undergraduate students, the book is also ideally suited to self-study. No prior knowledge of functional programming is required; the book and the online documentation provide everything you will need.

Book description:
Oriented matroids play the role of matrices in discrete geometry, when metrical properties, such as angles or distances, are neither required nor available. Thus they are of great use in such areas as graph theory, combinatorial optimization and convex geometry. The combination of concrete applications and computation, the profusion of illustrations, and the large number of examples and exercises will make this an ideal introductory text on the subject. It will also be valuable for self-study for mathematicians and computer scientists working in discrete and computational geometry.

Coders, developers, programmers, app designers, geeks: Whatever you call them, it's clear they're building the future before our very eyes -- as they would be the first to tell you. So please get out of their way, because you're holding up the line at the $6-a-cup café. And be very careful what you call them -- you don't want to upset them and throw off their production schedule.
As the San Francisco Chronicle's Nellie Bowles reports, the word "techie" has become an insult, comparable to being called a yuppie in the late 1980s, only with less developed personal grooming habits.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Tech boom! The war for top developer talent | Think we're in a tech bubble? It's nothing like 1999 | Check out InfoWorld TechBrief, your source for quick, smart views on the news you'll be talking about -- subscribe today. ]
Let the geeks speak
The reporter recently visited several hipster hangouts in San Francisco, approaching people who were drinking triple mocha soy lattes with their heads down at their laptops debugging their PHP scripts and asking if they minded being called "techies." It turns out they do. Why? I'll let Bowles take it from here:
Dan Gailey, a 30-year-old tech entrepreneur who was recently working at Four Barrel [a cafe], said he didn't identify as a "techie" -- and thinks it's actually a pretty rude term.
"If you use the word 'techie,' we know you're not in tech," said the Mission District resident. "A lot of negative terms like that -- yuppie, hipster - are outsider terms. We don't call each other techies -- at all, ever."
The preferred terms, he said, are "hackers," "makers," or "coders."
Notably, Bowles was careful not to call Gailey a former barista. The accepted term is, of course, caffeine-procurement-and-foam-enhancement specialist.
In a similar vein, you know who really hates being called hipsters? Those guys wearing porkpie hats, thrift-store sport coats with the sleeves pushed up above the elbows, ripped jeans, and $1,500 custom eyewear.
They're actually Digital Bohemians and Aspiring Glassholes -- or D-BAGs for short.

Carnival enthusiast to highlight sideshow culture
By: Frenche` Brewer, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-3691
McKissick Museum is set to host a talk about the exhibit "Step Right Up! Sideshows in American Culture" Friday, April 12 at 5:30 p.m., featuring New-York based performer, author and sideshow enthusiast Todd Robbins.
Robbins will also show a screening of "American Carny: True Tales from the Circus Sideshow."
The program will take place in the first floor auditorium.
The sideshow exhibit is up now through May 11, hosting the work of Beaufort artist Rebecca Davenport.
"Step right up! Sideshows in American Culture" places the work of Davenport in the larger context of carnival culture through an exploration of the sideshow as a cultural phenomenon from the 19th century into the 21st century.
Davenport's carnival series will serve as the anchor for a discussion about the sideshow based on several themes, including the mercurial nature of sideshow culture, the exploration of the concept of "the other" and the folk language of the "carny."
The exhibit will feature original works by Davenport, such as oil on canvas and some free-standing sideshow objects, in addition to a variety of banners from the heyday of the American sideshow.
All events are free and open to the public.

Mar 21, 2012 07:10 AM|thephiend|LINK
In order to step away from the ISAPI solution to proxy IIS requests to Tomcat, I wanted to give ARR2.5 a whirl and use its proxy options along with URL rewrites to achieve the same.
However, after installing ARR2.5 via the WPI (which all goes fine), my application pools start to crash the moment I try and visit one of the websites running on the server, resulting in 503 errors. I haven't set up any proxy or URL rewrite rules yet. This
is immediately after installing ARR2.5.
Event logs show 5 errors concerning listener channel failures after which it lists the error about the subsequent application pool shutdown.
My server configuration is a very default one: 1 Windows 2008R2 64bit server with 1 IIS7.5 instance, hosting several websites.
Any idea what could cause this?
AppPool ARR 2.5 64-bit 503
Mar 23, 2012 11:21 PM|wonyoo|LINK
Regarding 5 consecutive failures, that is a feature in IIS called "rapid fail protection." It is meant to prevent the application pool from continously failing to start forever. And when you trigger this condition, which you have, then the application pool will remain stopped.
That said, what you will want to investigate is the individual failures.
Some questions:
1. Prior to installing ARR, did you alreadyinstall URL rewrite?
2. What does the event log say exactly (including the error code, and also the details view).
3. Could you tell me little bit more about the "several websites"? And more specifically, what's running on *:80?
ARR application Request Routiing
Mar 24, 2012 08:45 AM|thephiend|LINK
Yes, I was aware of the feature. I disabled the rapid fail protection to see what the result would be like, but that seemed to cause .
1. It was already installed before I installed ARR.
2. I'll have to reproduce these, but the system event log listed the standard listener channel failures and the subsequent pool shutdown one. I must however say I didn't check the event log until 2 days later. The application event log was flushed by that time, so I couldn't check it for corresponding errors anymore.
3. Several websites meaning ASP.NET websites. One website per IP address, all on port 80.
Mar 24, 2012 01:14 PM|wonyoo|LINK
I will need to better understand your configuration to really troubleshoot, but here is what I suspect.
- ARR is a server level feature, meaning, it will appliable to all sites.
- URL rewrite rules are used as "routing rules" for ARR. So the URL rewrite rules that you already have at the site level will function as routing rules for ARR. And I suspect that this is where the problem is. The following link explains the relationship between URL rewrite and ARR: http://blogs.iis.net/wonyoo/archive/2008/07/26/relationship-between-application-request-routing-and-url-rewrite-modules.aspx.
With that said, what scenario were you planning on enabling with ARR?
ARR application Request Routiing proxy
Mar 26, 2012 04:07 AM|thephiend|LINK
Thanks for you input and information so far.
There are currently no rewrite rules configured in URL Rewrite. Is this a must-have when ARR is installed? Will requests route as before (just via ARR), e.g. index.aspx routes to index.aspx, etc? Or do I also need rules in place for that?
I wanted to give ARR with URL Rewrite a go for the following scenario: I have an application running via Tomcat on port 8080, currently available on http://localhost:8080. I want to make this accessible on a subdomain, i.e. application.domain.com:80.
Mar 26, 2012 12:28 PM|wonyoo|LINK
The scenario that you've described is supported. So I am surprised that you are running into problems.
URL rewrite is a required component of ARR. ARR, in fact, is a collection of several components, one of which is URL rewrite.
With that said, the first thing that need to be understood is the root cause of the crash. Have you been able to look at the event look and see what is actually crashing? It should have references to a DLL that is the cause. In addition, you've mentioned that the machine has several sites. Are you seeing the crash on all the sites?
ARR reverse proxy application Request Routiing
Mar 27, 2012 06:58 AM|thephiend|LINK
I've been able to solve this issue after narrowing the cause down with the application event log. The main culprit I had no knowledge off however, was the presence of a Plesk implementation on the server. Plesk comes with 2 custom users, which were the cause of the issue I ran into.
For future reference:
The application event log will have an entry such as this:
Log Name: Application
Source: Microsoft-Windows-IIS-W3SVC-WP
Date: 3/27/2012 4:07:22 AM
Event ID: 2280

The Module DLL C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS\Application Request Routing\requestRouter.dll failed to load. The data is the error.

<Data Name="ModuleDll">C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS\Application Request Routing\requestRouter.dll</Data>
This shows a permission issue (<Binary>05000000</Binary>) on C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS\Application Request Routing\requestRouter.dll, which can be fixed by giving the two Plesk custom users read/write permissions on C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS\.
Thanks again for your help, wonyoo. Much appreciated! Also to give me a better understanding of ARR, its components and the request handling.

The Spencers have changed their diets, and so far, their cholesterol levels are a little lower. They are dancing again on Saturday nights at the nearby community center. Nick still has a donut on Sunday morning, but he walks to the bakery. They're always on the lookout for recipes for healthy meals that they can cook together.
Turns out the DASH Eating Plan was just right for Carlos. He lowered his blood pressure and found healthy snacks to have at work. In fact, his coworkers enjoy sharing his microwave popcorn with him!
Steven still plays poker with his friends but gave up the buffalo wings. Instead, he brings baked wings with fat-free dressing, and most of his poker mates seem to prefer those. Esther's blood sugar is almost back to a normal level—she watches what she eats and, along with Steven, has joined a group of mall walkers.
Marvin is still struggling with his mid-life weight gain, but he's following a regular Go4Life [1] exercise routine. When he rakes leaves in his yard, he can tell his endurance has improved.
Fast food became a thing of the past for Sharise, once she learned how to find healthy foods in the grocery store. Now she shares with others her tips for cooking quick and healthy meals at home. She arranged for her parents to eat at the senior center once a week, and that helped take a weight off her shoulders as well.
When Ed's family eats out, they always pepper the waiter with questions about how food is prepared. But they also leave a nice tip!
The Spencers and their friends, neighbors, and coworkers are all thinking about what's on their plate, and now it's your turn. Changing how you think about food might not be easy at first, but keeping your goal of a healthier lifestyle in mind will help you make better choices about the kinds of food you eat and how much. With a little practice, those choices will become easier and more natural—more a part of your everyday life, so in time you will make them without even thinking.
Keep this book handy and refer to it when you are unsure or need more information. With good nutrition and increased physical activity a part of your daily life, you will be taking charge of your health—maybe even making it better with age.

University announces holiday events
The University of South Carolina invites the public to celebrate the holidays through its annual tree lighting, choral concert, donation drive and holiday card exhibit.
The annual tree-lighting ceremony celebrates the university's commitment to serving others. In its 55th year, the ceremony will take place on the historic Horseshoe Wednesday, Dec. 2, at 6 p.m. For more information, contact Jennifer Conner at email@example.com or by phone at 504-258-5357.
The School of Music Concert Choir, under the direction of Dr. Larry Wyatt, will present two Christmas concerts: Dec. 4, 7:30 p.m., at First Presbyterian Church and Dec. 6, 6 p.m., at Shandon United Methodist Church. The concerts are free and open to the public.
Both concerts will feature works by Palestrina, Mendelssohn, Parry, Rootham, Chilcott, Danner, Higdon, Wilberg and Woo, as well as USC International Choral Composition Contest winners Justin Merritt and Daniel Pinkston.
Also directed by Wyatt is Colla Voce, a community chamber ensemble of professional musicians that began in spring 2001. The concert will take place Dec. 8 at St. Peter's Catholic Church at 7:30 p.m. They will perform "Christmas Traditions," a holiday program consisting of music representing a number of countries and spanning several centuries. Wyatt will be accompanied by Ann Wilson, with Mark Husey as guest organist. Tickets are $10 and will be available at the door and from members in advance.
Throughout the month of November, students, faculty and staff are invited to donate gifts to the Carolina Cares Holiday Donation Drive to help less fortunate families in Columbia. The goal is to fill more than 1,400 stockings for children. Stockings, provided by the Salvation Army, are available in the Campus Life Center, Russell House Suite 227, and must be returned – filled with small, age-appropriate gifts – by Nov. 30.
Carolina Cares also includes an Adopt-A-Family program in coordination with the Nurturing Center. To participate, contact Kathye Holder, volunteer coordinator at 803-771-4160 or at email@example.com.
The 2009 card exhibit, "Christmas on the Potomac," will be on display at the Thomas Cooper Library, outside the East Gallery, Dec. 1 through Jan. 15. It will feature Christmas cards received by Congressman Joe Wilson from members of Congress, foreign dignitaries and businesses and organizations within and outside his district. The exhibit will also include President and Mrs. Pastides' 2008 card and, if available, cards from President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.

A surface-to-air missile launcher was among the items turned in to the Seattle Police Department during its gun buyback day on Monday. Police witnessed one person outside of the buyback purchasing the military-grade weapon, which is not legally available to civilians, from another for $100.
The scene was troubling, in part because it highlighted the ease with which heavy firepower can change hands under the radar. Though the device is single-use, and had already been deployed, state officials are also worried about how a civilian got his or her hands on the weapon in the first place. They are working to track down its origin, the AP reports:
Seattle police worked with Army officials Monday to track down the history of a nonfunctional missile launcher that showed up at a weapons buyback program and determine whether it was legal or possibly stolen from the military.[...]
"Once it's brought on base and investigators have a chance to look at it, they'll see what they can determine," Army spokesman Joe Kubistek said Monday. "It's too early to give any information on it until we have hands-on access to see it and take a look at it."
Gun buyback programs are not the most effective method for getting guns off the street. Too often, people who turn in weapons that are broken or legally purchased simply because they need the money. The Seattle buyback unearthed four stolen guns total, out of the 716 collected.
Still, the appearance of a missile launcher — and the private sale of the weapon before it was turned over to the police — does serve to underline the danger of having no system in place to track military weapons or illegal firearms.
Two anti-tank rocket launchers were also uncovered during a Los Angeles buyback last month.
