Oh My Lord, Maybe Not An 8-9 Seed?
I just looked at the amazing conglomeration that is Bracketology and a crazy thing happened - Arizona wasn't projected as an eight or nine seed.
Hooray for life! I can't believe it! Let the rioting down Fourth Avenue begin! Skip your Trads young bucks, go out and enjoy college life as it should be! Arizona was an eight seed in 2007, 2006 and a nine seed in 2004. Yes, none of those years ended well.
I just wanted to take this time to say that the fact I'm bragging about the Arizona Wildcats not being an eight or nine seed should speak volumes for where this program has landed. Long live Jason Terry!
Also, this picture honestly makes me more depressed than happy.
Update: Please just watch this and remember the days of total Tucson dominance.

If you could pick any three UA guards for an All-Lute-Era backcourt, would Salim make your squad?

Man, that is really tough. I'd say talent-wise, Salim was one of the most gifted players Lute ever had. If i had to pick three, i'd go with -
Jason Terry, Salim Stoudamire and Sean Elliot.

Oh baby shower etiquette! What are the rules about hostess gifts for a baby shower?

The Thought Behind a Baby Shower Hostess Gift

The thinking behind the baby shower hostess gift is that it is a way to say thank you to someone who put in a lot of time and effort to throw you the baby shower. (This also applies to the blessingway hostess as well.) While a hostess gift is not a necessity, but it is certainly a very kind gesture. Even though a baby shower is given out of the goodness of one's heart, a baby shower hostess gift just says, "Thank you."

If someone throws you a surprise baby shower, you are not expected to have a hostess gift immediately. However, you might consider sending a little something after the baby shower. If you are having a planned baby shower, consider bringing something with you to leave with the hostess. I have yet to be at a shower where there was a big presentation of the hostess gift. You could simply leave it on the table before you leave or give it to her to "open later" before the other guests arrive.

"I showed up to my shower with a flower arrangement/plant thing," says one mother. "My aunt threw the shower, because she threw all the showers in the family. I gave her a gift for my wedding shower that she didn't like, so I just figured I'd go with something simple. She was so thrilled - she still has the plant alive and mentions it often. So it was a big hit."

What is an appropriate baby shower hostess gift?

This will depend on a lot of factors. It may be that you have a lot of disposable income and want to spend a fair bit or perhaps you're strapped for cash. The point is not the dollar sign amount attached to the gift, but rather the thought behind the gift. Some examples of baby shower hostess gifts include:

nice candle

gift certificate (massage, pedicure, lunch, favorite online store, etc.)

stationery set

book

plant/flowers

Whether you decide to give a gift or not, you should follow up with a detailed thank you note. Thank your hostess for the time, energy, funding that went into your baby shower. You should give specific details of personal touches that you noticed. Did she have your favorite flowers? Were all the guests feeling included? Did she serve the punch you love? Be thoughtful but honest.

What if there are multiple hostesses?

While you might think that multiple hostesses complicates the equation, the truth is that it doesn't. You should remember to bring something for each of them as well as write separate thank you notes. Money might become more of an object with multiple hostesses.

"My three friends threw me a baby shower, it was natural to celebrate together," says Amanda. "After the shower was over and I had sent each a nice thank you note, I invited them out to lunch. We all had a great time and I picked up the tab as a thank you. It was perfect for us."

Regardless of who throws your shower or whether or not you intend to give them a thank you gift, be sure to thank them in person at a minimum.

Halo 3: ODST Review
The Embargo finally lifted and here is our Halo 3 ODST Review. Apologies for early release of this review.
Halo 3: ODST is easily one of the most anticipated games of 2009. Originally planned to be a simple downloadable add-on, Halo 3: ODST eventually became much bigger than anyone could have anticipated and soon found itself releasing as a standalone disc. Along with a new Halo game comes tons of hype, but does the game live up to it's hype?
Halo 3: ODST takes place between the events of Halo 2 and Halo 3. Halo 3: ODST tells the story of the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers. The game focuses on these UNSC soldiers rather than on Master Chief or any other Spartan. The ODST team is sent to infiltrate and eradicate the Covanent infestation from New Mombasa, but quickly find themselves separated. The rookies now have to fight their way through and regroup. So, how well does this sidestory add to the plot?
Does it bring some much needed extra content? Let's take a look at the HOTs and NOTs of Halo 3: ODST
VISR Heads Up Display – a New Feature
One of the things that I find interesting in ODST is the new HUD called VISR. The VISR helps in many ways such as detecting enemies from a distance, or enhanced night-vision for help in the darker areas. This honestly makes Halo 3 feel dated. The VISR help tremendously when facing a swarm of enemies. Having the distant detection helps set up strategies and flank the enemies.
To get a better understanding of what's going on in the New Mombasa, players can access the "Audiophiles". These files are scattered throughout the game and each one offers a bit more info on the history of New Mombasa. The files are played through the VISR and consist of still images and audio, adding a nice creepy element to the storytelling.
The health bar and shield has been totally redone. In past Halo games, Master Chief relies on hiding to regenerate his health bar, but in this game you have to find and use a Med Kit or a Medical Kiosk. This adds a new feel of challenge to the game.
New Weapons
There are some pretty awesome new weapons in this game such as the silenced SMG and silenced magnum. The Red Plasma Rifle that the Brutes used in Halo 2 make return here, and best of all they can be picked up and used by the ODST team.
New Co-Op Mode; Firefight
Aside from the standard online multiplayer, a new co-op mode is introduced, Firefight mode. Similar to Horde in Gears of War 2, Firefight mode is a co-op game that works in levels. It consists of three rounds, each round bringing a new wave of enemies and increasing the difficulty level. The final round will pit players against the Brute Chief. There are several maps available from the get go, but more can be unlocked by playing through the campaign.
Emotional and Dramatic Storyline
The story here is very well done and can get quite dramatic at times. Unlike Master Chief who is a perfect soldier, the ODST members are just normal humans. Not to mention, by placing this game on Earth, and in a specific city, Bungie was able to add a much-needed human element to the story. The Audiophiles help further tell the story of this city, and by the games end will leave players with a tear in their eyes.
The actions and excitement are still in the game
Nothing has changed here. The action and excitement that you felt in past Halo games is still intact. Taking out Scarabs, driving scorpions, and the overall Halo action is still as great as always.
Excellent Soundtrack
The soundtrack is what we've come to expect from the Halo series. Every track fits perfectly and creates the perfect atmosphere. Couple that with some amazing voice work and your ears are in for a treat.
Should've been a DLC instead of Retail Game
This game originally started as a downloadable expansion and it should have stayed that way. There really isn't enough content here to warrant being on a retail disc, or its outrageous $59.99 price tag. Bungie should have taken a cue from Rockstar and made this a $20 expansion.
Short Game
The game is short, VERY short. I was able to complete it in less than six hours. The missions aren't long and for anyone who's familiar with Halo, won't pose much of a challenge. Sure, there are some fun moments, but this game is way too short for it's price.
Ending Sucked
I mentioned earlier how great the storyline is, it's unfortunate that this great storyline is brought down by a horrid ending. I won't give any details, but I personally felt very disappointed at how the game ended.
Halo 3: ODST is a disappointment. The story starts off great, but can't maintain its consistency and by the end is just a let down. This started off as DLC, and it's obvious that it should have remained as such. The new co-op mode is nice, and at times the single player campaign can be thoroughly entertaining. However, the 60-dollar price tag and short story mode really bring this game down.
When Bungie announced this would be released on a disc for full price, we all expected a much longer and much more complete game. Halo 3: ODST feels like a cheap money grab and there's very little reason to buy it. It's obvious now why the Halo: Reach beta was included. This game isn't worth a purchase. If you are interested in the story, give it a rental, it won't take you more than a day to complete it.
Game completed under 6 hours. Played Firefight a six times to get the feel of the game. Halo 3: ODST will be released for the XBOX 360 on September 22, 2009.

Ouch.GD Star Rating
3/5 because the game is a little overpriced? Harsh much? This overpricing issue is getting rather annoying.GD Star Rating
I doubt Portal's reviews would have been quite as glowing if it had a sixty dollar price tag – or GTA Lost & Damned, or the Fallout DLC.GD Star Rating
Eli = I think it's fair. Charging $60 for a game that's really short and doesn't offer much that previous games haven't is ridiculous.GD Star Rating
Your latest hands-on for Halo 3: ODST claimed it was a "GOTY contender," yet now it "isn't worth a purchase." Frankly I don't care much for the series anymore, but this seems weird. I'm willing to give the site the benefit of the doubt (since I've never heard of it before and judging from their site ranking I'm not alone), but it just strikes me as odd. I know some people are going to come here and prattle on with some crazy conspiracy theories about how curious it is that in the span of 3 weeks time a site pulled a complete 180 on their opinion of a game which happens to be a 360 exclusive while simultaneously being skinned in a spectacular Uncharted 2 ad. A piece of advice: Don't lend credence to those far-fetched claims by defending or explaining yourselves. Your silence on the subject will be proof enough of the legitimacy of this review.GD Star Rating
I think it's a very fair score, great review, no complains.GD Star Rating
The reviewer made valid points. No arguments here.GD Star Rating
Nice review. I like the HOT and NOT concept. Great work.GD Star Rating
You say that the game will bring a tear to my eye, and than that its a dissapointment? Any game with that sort of dramtic quality isn't jus a passover.. also, I beleive one of the reasons the game is price $60 is the second disc.. I'm sure people will be selling just the ODST disc on EBay and such, as well as vice versa. If you don't feel like paying full price and already have Halo 3.. buy ODST online.GD Star Rating
I saw leaked footage online, and I agree, the ending was incredibly anti-climatic.
It sounds like a great game, but without much value.
And bang-for-your buck is HUGE when I'm deciding on whether or not to buy a game.
So I'll be getting it when the price is a lot lower (Or perhaps rent it).GD Star Rating
Game length and pricing shouldn't factor into a review, because those are HIGHLY SUBJECTIVE elements. Pricing of a game can change any time, and people can spend dozens of hours on a single level.
Plus, if the game leaves you in "tears" and yet you still say the story is not so good, that's pretty contradictory.GD Star Rating
How is this overpriced?
Arkham Asylum took me eight hours to beat…
Bioshock toom me seven.
Halo 3's campaign only takes about six to beat on normal.
This isn't even included Firefight, ALL of the Halo 3 Maps, (which most publishers would warrant a full price for just alone aka L4D GOTY ed.)
or Co-op.GD Star Rating
Seriously, overpricing should NOT be a contributing factor to this review. Seriously, sounds like the reviewer is just a cheap n00b. That is all.GD Star Rating
there review is spot on. this is a cheap, short story. and a multiplayer that is already out. no reason besides greed to make it a full 60 bucks. review is right, shame on ms and bungieGD Star Rating
i agree 100% with review. the game is completely underwhelming, short, fire fight will get old in a week or 2, multiplayer is just halo3's. seems like a cheap ploy by microsoft and bungie to milk an obvious DLC for 60 bucksGD Star Rating

LAPD detective Joe Gavilan, who moonlights as an estate agent, and partner K. C. Calden, a wannabe actor rehearsing A Streetcar Named Desire, investigate the shooting of a rap group while Gavilan comes under the scrutiny of Internal Affairs.
American critics and box office analysts hailed the poor US performance of Ron Shelton's cop comedy-drama as the death knell for the action man career of Harrison Ford. Yet the accent on action misses the point. Adept at creating male characters who feel compelled to reveal themselves through talk - see Bull Durham or Tin Cup - Shelton uses the buddy cop genre, for the most part, to explore two goofy characters at the expense of huge explosions and obvious one-liners. And if that means the pacing goes awry and the storytelling meanders, surely that's preferable to the same old, same old.
Recalling his quirky character turns in American Graffiti, The Conversation and Apocalypse Now, Ford is at his grizzled, laconic best, transcending the standard world-weary cop stereotype. Watch him flip out in an attempt to commandeer a car, or read Blanche DuBois' lines from A Streetcar Named Desire opposite Hartnett doing Stanley, and you'll be reminded of his genius for deadpan comedy.
As likable as ever, Hartnett gives as good as he gets as an actor trapped inside a cop's persona, teaching yoga to bangable babes and giving his sage advice mid-car chase. Where the movie falls down is in the cop conventions that surround the central pairing.
The plot through-line of Gavilan and Calden investigating the death of some rappers is a disappointing detective story, peppered with forgettable villains and a contrived subplot involving an Internal Affairs investigation.
The final, extended chase is annoyingly conventional (despite the sight of Ford on a kid's bicycle) compared to the nice character beats and originality built up in the first half. Which is a shame, as Ford and Hartnett deserved a better finale to their promising pairing.
Neither the post K-19 return to form Ford fans might have hoped for, nor the failure its disappointing box office performance suggests, Hollywood Homicide offers great value when it gives its likeable stars room to breathe and banter. It once again offers

#3: Chicago Bears
Avg. ticket price: $219.82
W-L past 10 years: 51.3% (13th highest)
Championships past 10 years: 0
Avg. home attendance: 62,145
A top-10 franchise in terms of value, the Chicago Bears have had only middling success in recent years. Chicago has tallied just 82 victories in the past 10 seasons, 13th of 32 NFL franchises. The Bears have had no Super Bowl wins in the past decade, though they appeared in one back in 2006, losing to Peyton Manning and the Colts. Still, Soldier Field patrons pay an average of almost $220 on the secondary market for the right to watch their Bears take the field, part of the reason the team's revenue has increased every year for the past ten seasons.

LOS ANGELES, Calif.,- Adam Landecker capped a two-run ninth inning with a game-winning RBI single down the right field line as the USC Trojans beat CSU Bakersfield in walk-off fashion for the second game in a row 9-8 Saturday afternoon at DeDeaux Field.
The Roadrunners, who trailed 3-0 after the first inning, battled back to tie the game with three-runs in the fourth, they would take a 7-4 lead following a four-run fifth inning but USC managed to chip away at the lead and trailed 8-7 entering the ninth. Following a lead-off single by Kevin Roundtree on reliever Hayden Carter (Fr., San Diego, Calif., Vista HS), James Barragan (Fr., Bakersfield, Calif., Stockdale HS) entered the game and after retiring the first hitter he faced, hit the next two batters before walking Dante Flores to tie the game at eight.
Barragan managed to get Garrett Stubbs to pop out to center field before Landecker delivered the game-winning single that was inches fair down the right field line.
CSUB scored 8 runs on 15 hits, a season second-best in the hits department while the Trojans scored their 9 runs on 13 hits. Reliever Martin Viramontes earned the win for USC throwing one and two-thirds innings allowing just one hit while Barragan (0-3) took the loss for CSUB. Roadrunner starter Scott Brattvet (Jr., Trabuco Canyon, Calif., Santa Ana College) settled down after allowing 3 runs in the first, he threw five innings allowing five runs on seven hits striking out five.
DC Legg (Sr., Murrietta, Calif., Cypress College) was 3 for 3 on the afternoon with a pair of doubles and one RBI while Dylan Christensen (Jr., Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif., Saddleback College) drove in three runs going 2 for 4 on the afternoon, he's driven in five runs during the series.
CSUB will look to avoid the sweep Sunday afternoon at 1 P.M. as they send Taylor Aikenhead (So., Lancaster, Calif., Bakersfield College) to the mound to face Stephen Tarpley for USC.

INDEPENDENTS REPORT: Grocers' best friend
The Global Pet Expo last month dished out plenty of evidence that the pet product market is booming.
When my older sister, Judy, phoned me from Florida last month to discuss what her three-year old pug, Winslow, would wear to the annual Pug Parade at a local Sarasota park, I thought, "This girl is crazy! She seriously thinks that dog is a person."
Nonetheless, I listened patiently, and agreed that Winslow would look "darling" in a vintage sailor outfit (see the picture at right).
The Pug Parade judges concurred. Sporting a nautical theme, Winslow once again took home top honors, and for the second year in a row his photo was featured on the front page of the local newspaper.
My sister is not definitely alone. Millions of consumers across the country are contributing to the seemingly endless growth of our nation's pet industry, currently at $37 billion. Americans are projected to up their spending on pet supplies and services to over $43 billion by 2011, according to forecasts presented by Wellesley, Mass.-based BCC Research at the 2007 Global Pet Expo, which was held a few weeks ago at the sprawling Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla. Thus, there's no better time than now for independent supermarket operators to make like Winslow and company, and join the pet parade.
In the United States today, pet ownership is at a record high of 69 million-plus households. Whether they're purchasing designer clothing and pet strollers, holistic cat food, Cat Genie's self-flushing/self-washing kitty "potties," canine campers, nutritionally enhanced waters, or Sergeant's Ooh la la, a designer line of trendy accessories for "small dogs with an attitude," animal lovers from Sarasota to Seattle are sparing no expense to enhance the lives of their pets. No longer can supermarkets allow the Pet-Smarts and other specialty retailers of the world to rain on their parade.
Representing the PG editorial team, I attended the Global Pet Expo. With hundreds of exhibitors, a new-products showcase, and valuable education sessions, it is the pet industry's largest trade show -- and in my opinion a "must attend" for supermarket retailers.
Among the many unique products that captured my attention were:
I had to see it to believe it. "Protecting the world one dog at a time" is the mission of Diamond Springs, Calif.-based Doggles, LLC, which manufactures breathable mesh eyewear that filters out 50 percent to 60 percent of harmful UV rays and shields Fido's eyes from pesky insects. The patent-pending eyewear is available in assorted colors and sizes. Also setting tails wagging is the antifog, shatterproof, plastic Doggles eyewear model featuring adjustable head straps for a perfect fit. This item provides protection for pooches that enjoy popping their heads out of the car window.
HappyTails Canine Spa Line
From canine massage to animal aromatherapy, doggie day spas to "pawdicures," Los Angeles-based HappyTails offers canine spa products that take pet pampering to the next level, including upscale lines of shampoos and conditioners; Bow Wow Butter Balm for treatment of dry, cracked noses and paws; and Flea The Scene insect spray with sunscreen. And I mustn't forget to mention Dog Smog Remedy, a breath freshener that also relieves IGE, otherwise known in the pet world as "inappropriate gaseous emissions."
3M Pet Care
The health care market continues to skyrocket for pets as well as people. 3M recently introduced an innovative line of pet care products, including 3M Dental Treats, which promote healthy digestion and plaque buildup on teeth; Liquid Bandage for pets; Ear Cleaning Wipes enriched with vitamin E; luxurious shampoos available in tearless, deodorizing, and oatmeal formulas; and Skin and Paw Crack Care. For merchandising convenience, many of these and other 3M Pet Care products are available in clip strips, four-way floor tower displays, and wing displays.
Pegetables -- Fun and Tasty Chew Treats
Here's a doggie version of the Produce for Better Health Foundation's 5-A-Day message: Fortified with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids, Pegetables, manufactured by Kansas City, Mo.-based Splintek, contain real vegetables: carrots, corn, and celery. Consumption of all three results in healthier immune systems, stabilized blood sugar levels, shiny fur, and decreased risk of urinary tract infections, according to the company, while Celery Pegetables are said to detoxify a pet's liver, too.
CrunchCards by Crunchkins
"Developed by vets—and devoured by pets," these individually wrapped 100 percent natural rawhide greeting cards with envelopes are manufactured using edible ink. Marketed by Rancho Mirage, Calif.-based Crunchkins, the edible cards provide a healthy treat and "improve the bond between a pet and their owners and friends," the company notes. Purr-fect Greeting Cat Nip Cards are available for felines.
Hunter Pet Gear -- Licensed Sport Products for Pets
Sparky's bark will sound extra- tough when he sports his favorite NFL team jersey on game day. Lexington, Ky.-based Hunter Manufacturing exclusively offers an extensive line of pet apparel and accessories: full-color team jerseys with V-necks to allow for a comfortable fit, collars, caps, toys, stainless steel pet bowls, and more. The Hunter product portfolio includes licensed professional sports and motorsports collections (i.e., NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB, NHL, NASCAR, and Officially Licensed Collegiate Products). According to Stewart Justus, who handles national accounts at Hunter, the company's proprietary software, PlayZip, provides retailers with recommended assortments based on a store's ZIP code -- and an estimated 40 percent gross profit on sales.
Our Pets
Like many pet manufacturers, Fairport Harbor, Ohio-based Our Pets is addressing the needs of aging pets. Besides developing the world's largest selection of healthy feeding systems, including an elevated dog feeder system that reduces stress and damage to joints, the company offers an all-natural line of supplements designed for pets' changing nutritional needs and tastes.

This lamp has three heavy ceramic shades in orange, aqua and white. They are attached to a brass tension pole. From the electrical fittings I would say it is circa 1960's to early 1970's
I found this lamp in an antique shop in Oklahoma City and paid $200.00 for it. The first pic is of the lamp in the shop the second pic is in my den.
I have not been able to find any information on this lamp.
I would appreciate any information or thoughts on it. Regardless, I am thrilled with this lamp and will always treasure it!

Bournemouth v Colchester preview
Team news ahead of Saturday's League One clash between Bournemouth and Colchester United at Dean Court.
Last Updated: 15/12/12 2:24pm
Team news ahead of Saturday's League One clash between Bournemouth and Colchester United at Dean Court.
Cherries manager Eddie Howe remains without defender Miles Addison for the visit of the U's.
Addison has missed the last two games with an ankle injury, and is not expected to make a first-team return for a further three to four weeks.
Howe will also make last-minute decisions on midfield duo Marc Pugh and Harry Arter, as both face late fitness tests.
Stephane Zubar is unlikely to feature as he continues his recovery from a hamstring problem.
The Frenchman is nearing a return after over two months on the sidelines, but will not be risked on Saturday.
Bournemouth are enjoying a 12-match unbeaten run, and they will be looking to record their 10th win from their last 13 games to continue their march towards the play-off places.
Colchester are missing a trio of players through suspension.
Defender Magnus Okuonghae and midfielder Marcus Bean both received their fifth cautions of the season during the 2-0 defeat against Oldham last weekend and serve their one-match suspensions.
They join Gavin Massey on the sidelines, as the striker sits out the second of his three-game ban after being sent-off in the 5-1 defeat at MK Dons.
Defender Matt Heath and midfielder Kem Izzet have both returned to training following injury, but neither has been able to build up their match fitness after planned reserve games were called off due to the weather.
The pair could find themselves on the bench but are unlikely to be involved.
On-loan midfielder Craig Eastmond has returned to parent club Arsenal after suffering a broken foot.

It can also concurrently capture message data to the screen, where messages may be filtered and analyzed by authorized users.
MQ Authenticate User Security Exit (MQAUSX) is a solution that allows a company to fully authenticate a user who is accessing a WebSphere MQ resource. It verifies the user's user ID and password (and possibly domain name) against the server's native OS system (or domain controller) or a remote LDAP server. The security exit will operate with WebSphere MQ v6.0, v7.0, v7.1, or v7.5 in Windows, iSeries (OS/400), Unix, and Linux environments. It works with Server Connection, Client Connection, Sender, Receiver, Server, Requestor, Cluster-Sender, and Cluster-Receiver channels of WebSphere MQ queue manager. The MQ Authenticate User Security Exit solution is comprised of 2 components: client-side security exit and server-side security exit.
MQ Batch Toolkit allows users to manipulate, monitor, and manage messages in a queue of a WebSphere MQ (formally MQSeries) queue manager from a command-line or shell scripting environment. It is designed for developers, programmers, quality assurance testers, and production support personnel who want to do backup and recovery of messages, stress testing of applications, replaying of messages, searching a queue for a text string, etc.. It can run on any platform that supports Java v1.4 (or higher). It can connect to local queue managers or to any remote queue manager.
MQ Channel Auto Creation Manager (MQCACM) is an MQ Channel Auto-Definition (MQ CHAD) exit which allows a company to control and restrict incoming connection requests to auto-create a channel. MQCACM is invoked when a request is received to start an undefined Receiver, Server-Connection, Cluster-Receiver, or Cluster-Sender channel. MQCACM can modify or clear the supplied default channel definition values for an instance of the channel, so there is no exit incompatibility (cross-platform or otherwise).
MQ Channel Encryption (MQCE) is a solution that provides AES encryption for message data flowing between WebSphere MQ (WMQ) resources. It operates with Sender, Receiver, Server, Requestor, Cluster-Sender, Cluster-Receiver, Server Connection, and Client Connection channels of the WMQ queue managers. It is a simple drop-in solution and can be configured as a queue manager channel message exit or as a channel sender/receive exit pair.
The MQ Channel Monitor application is a software package designed to gather and to display the status of MQ channels of the queue manager. It displays 16 columns of channel status information. The display is automatically refreshed every 60 seconds (default value). The user can alter this refresh rate. By default, all of the channels of the queue manager that currently have a status will be displayed. The user can define filters so that only particular channels will have their status displayed. MQCM can connect to a queue manager in 3 possible ways: locally in binding mode; remotely using a Client Channel Definition Table (CCDT); and remotely using an MQ XML file. MQCM supports both forms of MQ security: SSL for connecting to remote queue managers, and 3rd party security exit for connecting to remote queue managers.
MQ Message Encryption (MQME) is a solution that provides encryption for WebSphere MQ message data while it resides in a queue and in the MQ logs. It uses AES and offers the ability to control who accesses protected queues. This control is obtained through the use of UserID grouping, and group files are similar to the Unix /etc/group file. It also has the ability to generate and validate messages using a SHA-2 digital signature.
When a user inputs a hostname or an IP address, MQ Port Scan will scan a range of ports looking for a queue manager's MCA, using the standard (system default) channel names, in order to make a successful connection. It is very easy to use. It has the ability to search across a range of IP addresses and scan the port range for each IP address. Any time MQ Port Scan successfully connects to a queue manager, the information is written to a CSV file. The output will include the queue manager name, MQ version, channel name, hostname or an IP address, and port number.
MQ Standard Security Exit is a solution that allows a company to control and restrict who is accessing a WebSphere MQ resource. The security exit will operate with WebSphere MQ v6.0, v7.0, v7.1, or v7.5 in Windows, IBM i (OS/400), Unix, and Linux environments. It works with Server Connection, Receiver, Requestor, and Cluster-Receiver channels of WebSphere MQ queue manager. The MQ Standard Security Exit solution is comprised of a server-side security exit.
MQ Visual Browse allows users to view messages in a queue of a WebSphere MQ (formally MQSeries) queue manager and presents the data in a simplified format similar to a database utility or spreadsheet program. It is designed for application programmers, JMS developers, quality assurance testers, and production support personnel who do not need message editing capabilities. It can run on any platform that supports Java v1.4 (or higher). It can connect to local queue managers or to any remote queue manager.

Smoke still could affect motorists north of city
Published: Saturday, March 16, 2013 at 7:35 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 16, 2013 at 7:35 p.m.
A debris fire in northwest Gainesville continues to burn and is producing smoke that could affect U.S. 441 and State Road 121, reported the Florida Highway Patrol Saturday.
The fire at Wood Resources Recovery at 10606 SR 121 has been burning for several days and is expected to continue into this week, FHP reported in a press release.
Motorists are urged to use caution when traveling in the area. Visibility may deteriorate quickly due to smoke/fog conditions especially during the night and early morning hours. Drivers should reduce their speed and use their low-beam headlights to adapt to changing weather conditions.

Rangers, D-Backs among teams vying for Shin-Soo Choo at the moment
According to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com, the Rangers, Diamondbacks and others are making a push for Shin-Soo Choo at the moment.
MORE: FA tracker: position players | FA tracker: pitchers | Winter Meetings updates
The Rangers and Diamondbacks are among the teams vying for free agent outfielder Shin-Soo Choo at the moment, reports Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com. Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports says talks have reached a "critical stage."
Choo, 31, is the best position player left on the open market now that Robinson Cano and Jacoby Ellsbury have signed with the Mariners and Yankees, respectively. Carlos Beltran and Curtis Granderson have also signed, so the outfield crop isn't all that strong. Choo is clearly the best available.
In addition to the Rangers and Diamondbacks, clubs like the Mariners, Red Sox and Tigers could use an outfield bat. The Reds are unlikely to re-sign him simply because they can't afford him. Seattle threw huge bucks at Cano, is planning a run at David Price and is known to be seeking an outfielder, so they seem like the Rangers' most likely competition for Choo.
In 154 games for Cincinnati this past season, Choo hit .285/.423/.462 (143 OPS+) with 21 home runs and 20 stolen bases. Every team in baseball can use that bat.

Several decades of research on school-based prevention approaches have produced programs that help, to varying degrees, in reducing substance abuse among youths. American Behavioral Scientist devoted a recent issue to analyzing the results of the drug abuse prevention efforts.
But like a review of school-based drug programs published last December in the Journal of School Health, this study concludes that the programs used most frequently in schools in the United States are among the least effective.
The programs that have demonstrated lasting, meaningful reductions in drug use involve training in social resistance skills. Effective curricula also contain drug information that emphasizes the short-term and negative social consequences of use.
Social resistance training
It appears that extensive information about types and effects of drugs is not necessary and may even be counterproductive. The most effective programs identify the pressures to use drugs and give students the skills they need to resist peer pressure while maintaining their friendships.
Teaching adolescents that most people do not use drugs also appears critical to the long-term success of drug abuse prevention. There is evidence that broader-based programs that focus on decision making, goal setting, stress management, communication and assertiveness skills produce slightly larger reductions in drug use than social resistance training alone. The objective of such broad-based programs is to promote social and academic competence in order to prevent a variety of risky behaviors during adolescence.
In American Behavioral Scientist, Louise Ann Rohrbach, University of Southern California; Carol N. D'Onofrio, University of California/Berkeley; Thomas E. Backer, Human Interaction Research Institute; and Susanne B. Montgomery, Loma Linda University, evaluate why schools are not using the more effective programs.
They suggest that these programs involve teaching and learning techniques with which many teachers are not comfortable. Interactive teaching techniques include role-playing, small-group activities and peer-led discussions promote active participation that can change beliefs and behavior.
Inadequate testing
Most of the programs widely used in schools today have been inadequately tested. Of the three most popular programs — Dare, Quest, and Here's Looking at You, 2000 — only Dare has been adequately evaluated, and results suggest that it is no more effective at reducing substance abuse than standard curricular approaches.
More promising results have been shown for STAR, Life Skills Training, the Seattle Social Development Program, Project Northland, the Alcohol Misuse Prevention Program and the Teenage Health Teaching Modules.
So why haven't programs with better results captured a larger share of the school market? Despite inadequate testing or poor performance, write Rohrbach et al., popular programs successfully use attractive packaging, aggressive marketing with communities, and simple teaching approaches to get their programs widely adopted by schools.
Schools appear to focus on the practical characteristics of a program, such as whether it has clear instructions, how much preparation and training are required and how students and teachers respond to it. The complex, interactive teaching/learning activities of the more effective programs are less popular.
The challenge is to develop programs that are flexible yet robust, so that teachers can make modifications to meet their needs without jeopardizing the program's effectiveness. These researchers urge further large-scale evaluation that includes pre- and post-tests, control groups and long-term outcome measures of substance use.

Sorensen has point to prove
New Stoke goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen believes he has unfinished business in the Premier League.
Last Updated: 31/07/08 3:33pm
New Stoke goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen believes he has unfinished business in the Premier League.
The Denmark international was released by Aston Villa in the summer as he did not figure in Martin O'Neill's first-team plans.
Sorensen has been signed on a three-year deal by Potters boss Tony Pulis and is eager to help the club upset the odds and avoid an immediate return to the Football League.
He told the club's official website: "It's a great move for me because I have come to a club which has great ambition.
"I am very happy to be here and I am extremely grateful to the manager for giving me a chance to play in the Premier League again.
"I really enjoyed being here for the last two days and I love everything I saw from the manager and the club, and had no hesitation in signing.
"I have played in this division for a long time, but I still feel I have something to prove and that is why I am here."
Stoke's first home game of the new Premier League season is against Sorensen's former club, and he is relishing the opportunity to face O'Neill's men.
He added: "It's not about one game because we have 38 games to play next season, but I have to admit a win against Aston Villa would be a very good moment for me.
"I have fond memories of my time with the club and I am looking forward to coming up against them. But there are a lot of matches to be played and I truly believe we will stay up."

The Scottish champions approached the out-of-contract 24-year-old in January but Hibs had hoped to persuade him to stay on at Easter Road.
Rangers manager Alex McLeish signed Murray as a youngster during his time in charge at Hibs.
McLeish told the Rangers website: "He is a versatile player with great desire. I'm delighted to get him."
Murray has played at left-back, centre-half and midfield during his Hibs career and has made three appearances for Scotland.
"The way to sum Ian up is that he's got tremendous desire, wonderful desire," added McLeish.
"For me, if you've got that as a footballer you've got a right good chance.
"Obviously you need talent and to play for a club like Rangers there are extra demands - there's the mental side of it and there's the expectation levels to play at a high standard."
Murray broke into the Hibs first team as an 18-year-old and played in the 2001 Scottish Cup final loss to Celtic.
"I've obviously worked with Alex McLeish and Andy Watson before and they know exactly what my strengths and weaknesses are," said Murray.
"So it's really pleasing that they have the confidence in me to bring me to Rangers and now I can't wait to get my Ibrox career off and running."
Hibs manager Tony Mowbray was sorry to lose his captain after a good season saw the Edinburgh side claim a Uefa Cup place.
He said: "Ian has been a good player for the club and has always given us 100%.
"While we are disappointed he has chosen to go at an exciting time for the club, we respect his right to make his own decisions and we wish him well in the future."

A multitude of help is out there, available to veterans
By Greg Remus / For the Enterprise
Are you a veteran or a dependent of a veteran and need eyeglasses or dental work, yet can't afford it? Are you temporarily disabled and having a hard time meeting your financial obligations? There may be help.
State Soldiers Assistance Program (SSAP) Subsistence, Dental & Optical
The Minnesota Department of Veteran's Affairs (MDVA) provides subsistence, dental and optical assistance to veterans and their dependents (spouse/children) based upon income and need.
What Is Covered?
n Subsistence: The Subsistence program provides temporary assistance with shelter payments (rent/mortgage), current utility bills and health insurance premiums to eligible veterans and their dependents. This benefit is income and asset based, and is designed to assist veterans for up to six months for those who are unable to work his/her normal occupation due to a temporary disability, or who are permanently disabled and are waiting to receive a permanent disability benefit from VA Compensation, VA Pension, Social Security or other long term benefit. Veterans must provide proof of the temporary disability by his/her doctor on a medical report, and must have worked within one year of the date on the medical report. Surviving spouses may also be eligible for this benefit without a temporary disability if he/she applies within the first 12 months of his/her veteran spouse's death. After that time limit the surviving spouse must provide proof of his/her own temporary disability via a medical report.n Dental: Dental benefits are provided to veterans and their dependents for routine dental, extraction, and denture procedures. This benefit is income and asset based, and upon MDVA approval of eligibility you and your dependents may receive up to $1,000 for annual routine dental care paid to your choice of providers. If your dental provider determines that dentures are necessary, MDVA will issue an additional denture authorization for up to $3,000 of once-per-lifetime benefits, and if needed, an additional once-per-lifetime extraction authorization for up to $2,000 specifically for tooth extractions in preparation for the dentures.
n Optical: Optical benefits are provided on an annual basis to Veterans and their dependents. This benefit is income and asset-based, and upon approval of eligibility you and your dependents may receive up to $400 paid to your choice of providers for annual eye exams and prescription eyewear, to include contact lenses.
Who is Eligible?
Veterans and their dependents (spouse/children), provided the income/assets do not exceed the maximum allowed. Veterans must have had 180 consecutive days of active duty to qualify as a veteran for this program (or be in receipt of VA compensation), and must be a Minnesota resident.
n Single veteran or widow: Income less than $1,733 per month (from ALL sources) and bank assets less than $3000.
n Married couple: Total combined income less than $2,054 per month (all income for BOTH the veteran and the spouse) and bank assets less than $5,000. If both the veteran and spouse apply, they would EACH have the applicable (dental or optical) allotment to use.
How do I apply?
Contact Greg Remus or Karen Van De Venter at the Hubbard County Veteran Service Officer for assistance in completing an SSAP Application, MDVA-1.
As always the purpose of the Hubbard County Veteran Service Office is to provide assistance and support to eligible veterans, their dependents and survivors in obtaining benefits through the State and Federal Departments of Veterans Affairs, and to provide benefit counseling, claims service, referral and assistance in a variety of other programs.
You can contact me at the Hubbard County Veteran Service Office at 201 Fair Ave, Park Rapids, 732-3561. Have a great day! I will be in Laporte at the Lakeport Town Hall from 9 a.m.-noon and at the ARCC in Akeley from 1-3 p.m. every third Thursday of each month.

National agency recognizes Penn-Trafford's efforts in safety
Over his 22 years as an athletic trainer at Penn-Trafford, Larry Cooper said the district consistently raises the bar in keeping athletes, coaches and fans safe.
He isn't the only one who's noticed.
The National Athletic Trainers' Association recently recognized Penn-Trafford with the Safe Sports School Award. The award, launched this year, recognizes private and public secondary schools that "provide safe environments for student athletes," according to a press release.
"It's something that we take great pride in," Cooper said. "We worked very hard to try and achieve this status."
To achieve Safe Sports School status, Penn-Trafford had to meet a number of requirements set forth by the NATA.
Criteria include providing or coordinating physical examinations for athletes; developing injury and illness prevention strategies, including protocols for environmental conditions; and creating and rehearsing venue-specific emergency action plans.
Cooper said the district has worked for some time to make sure its safety procedures exceed the minimum standards set forth by state and national agencies. Penn-Trafford administers an orthopedic screening and concussion baseline test along with its physicals, and Cooper said the district rehearses the emergency action plans at coaches' meetings in the fall, winter and spring.
He said he pays specific attention to the criteria about preventing and treating injuries such as concussions and heat illnesses.
"We certainly know that (athletes') bodies are still growing and changing, so a lot of that stuff is critical when they're young so they don't have problems later on in life," Cooper said. "That's why it's really important at the secondary school level to really improve on that.
"If you go to every college and university and professional team, they have a very involved sports medicine team that would involve physicians and specialists and athletic trainers. That doesn't necessarily happen at the secondary school level. We have done that — we have really tried to put our level of care equal to or above that of any college."
Including Cooper, who teaches sports medicine, health and physical education at Penn-Trafford High School, the district employs three full-time athletic trainers. The other two are subcontracted through Excela Health.
As medical knowledge continues to increase, Cooper said the district will continue to make adjustments to provide appropriate care to athletes.
In the past, Penn-Trafford hosted seminars on concussions and wrestling weight loss. The district will continue to do so in the future, Cooper said.

The HTTPService component can retrieve data over the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). Since the returned data is not typed, this method is largely used to return simple strings or XML data, which can be static or dynamically generated.
In this exercise you will use the HTTPService object to retrieve dynamically generated content from a remote application server by supplying a direct URL to the template. You will retrieve all of the fictional employees in a company to display in a DropDownList control (see Figure 1). Lastly, you will learn how to use the fault event to show an alert message in the event of retrieval error.
In this exercise you will learn how to:
In this section, you will create an instance of an HTTPService component to retrieve dynamically generated XML from a remote server.
Note: This example generates the XML using an Adobe ColdFusion server, but you can use any server to generate the XML file. Refer to the Flex and ColdFusion, PHP, Java, or .NET integration pages for more information.
You should see the dynamically generated XML shown in Figure 2.

Magdalene laundries: Irish government to debate report
A report into the Magdalene laundries is due to be debated in the Irish parliament later on Tuesday.
The laundries were Catholic workhouses run by nuns in Ireland, where thousands of young women worked behind locked doors without pay.
Many who worked in the laundries claim it was slave labour and want a state apology and compensation.
Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Enda Kenny is expected to make that apology on behalf of the state during the debate.
It is believed that move could open the way for the women involved to seek redress or compensation.
Government contracts
The 1000-page report into the running of the laundries, written by the former senator, Martin McAleese, was published earlier this month.
It concluded that about 10,000 women passed through the laundries in the Irish Republic between 1922 and 1996.
Over 2,000 were sent there by the state authorities, and many Irish institutions, such as the army and some government departments, had contracts with the laundries.
The McAleese report found that some women were incarcerated for crimes as minor as not paying for a train ticket.
On the day of publication, Mr Kenny expressed regret for the or the stigma and conditions suffered by women who were inmates in the laundries, but he stopped short of a formal government apology.
Campaigners criticised his response and pressed for a state apology.
In the two weeks since, Mr Kenny has held face-to-face meetings with some of those who worked in the laundries.

Lots of Howling in the Fjord
Howling Fjord is one of my favorite zones in the game, and probably my favorite zone in Northrend. This quest chain is just one of those reasons.
Angie and Shan're had fun running around as wolf-buddies, and from an RP standpoint? Totally awesome.

text: The uptick in Contract and Services revenues and operating results in Q1 was actually led by our subsequent construction business which saw a 94% gross full utilization in Q1. However our well intervention business also had an increased operating result from Q4. Despite the fact that the Q4, our Q4000 and our dry dock in early March and the Seawell went into dry dock in late March.Canyon, our Robotics business had a very active quarter utilizing 5 different stock market vessels at various times, during the quarter in addition to its four regular vessels in the long term charter. Our Oil and Gas production in the first quarter totaled 2 million barrels of oil equivalent, down from 2.2 million barrels of oil equivalent in Q4. Quarter one's production decline was impacted by the sale of our main pass field as well as the shutting of our Noonan gas well, along with normal decline rates. We continue to benefit from our oil production being sold at Louisiana light sweet prices, which is at a significant premium to West Texas intermediate prices, realizing 109 a barrel, net of our oil hedge contracts. In addition, natural gas liquids production along with our natural gas hedge contracts allowed us to realize $5.82 from our natural gas production in Q1. Tony? Tony Tripodo Yes, thanks Owen. Continuing on slide 7, from a balance sheet perspective, we continue to strengthen our financial condition. Our net debt position which continues to decrease went from 609 million at year end '11 to 560 million at the end of the first quarter. Our cash balances increased to 620 million at the end of Q1, from 546 million at year end. We did a bit of a re-haul of our capital debt structure during the quarter. First, we issued 200 million of new three and a quarter percent Convertible Notes to in 2032 and used the proceeds to buy back a 142 million of the 300 million pre-existing Convertible Notes which we fully expect to be put for repayment in December of this year. The remaining 158 million of the oil converts are expected to be put to us and retired in December. Essentially, we preserved a low-cost form of capital and convertible debt by issuing new 200 million Notes to replace the 300 million that would fully expect to be repaid by year end and reducing the net amount in this type of debt capital by a 100 million. Further more, we issued new 100 million of the syndicated term loan A and along with Revolver borrowings called and retired 200 million of our 9.5% Senior Unsecured Notes. Desired effect of this reshuffling results in a much lower cost debt capital structure. With this I'll turn the call over to Cliff for an in-depth discussion of our contracting services results.

Sergio's Putter Is Really Awesome
A bad putter will be a bad putter at the worst possible times, and that is what you just saw with Sergio Garcia.
He just keeps striping golf shots left and right around Oakland Hills, but that flat-stick is continuing to be his least favorite fan (And that is saying a lot).
On the 17th hole, sitting at even-par for the tournament and a shot back of J.B. Holmes, El Nino four-putted for a double-bogey. Sure, it wasn't as bad as Mr. Yips, Vijay Singh, five-putting his last hole today to miss the cut, but it was ugly.
This is why I might be in the group that says Garcia could never win a major. Sure he has a lot of talent, and sure he hits the ball as good as anyone on tour, but that four-putt right there will be in his cabeza for the rest of the week. I guess only time will let us know how he bounces back.

The Mother of God
This is a mother's account of her experience as a disciple of her own son - Andrew Cohen, a well-known American guru - and of her struggle to free herself from his control. What had been a close, affectionate relationship slowly becomes a nightmare of domination. The story begins quiely in India and unfolds with growing intensity as Andrew, his mother, and a few people who have gathered around him, travel to England, Holland, Israel, and finally the United States, but which time Andrew has attracted hundreds of devotees to his "meetings." The abuse of power, incessant fear, and the pyschology of obsession are all explored here from an intimate perspective. Since brainwashing cults and their grandiose gurus are proliferating - in this country and all over the world - this book is not only a mother's lament, but also a finger pointing to the growing appeal everywhere of authoritarianism and absolutism.

The Olive Snook of 'Pushing Daisies' changes the lyrics of the 'Wicked' song to mock the New York mayoral candidate, who was recently hit with a second sex scandal.
Kristin Chenoweth has some advice to Anthony Weiner which she shared to public when stopping by "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on Tuesday, July 30. The Broadway star sang a "Popular" parody to teach the former U.S. representative how to become popular in a right way.
Rewriting the lyrics of the song from her musical play "Wicked", the petite actress mocked the politician who was recently hit with another sexting scandal, more than a year after retiring from Congress following the same issue. "You will be popular, the right kind of popular/ I'll teach you to zip your fly, you won't be that guy with a camera down his pants," she sang.
"I'll teach you what tweets to tweet, something clean and sweet/ We'll make sure you get your chance to be popular, the right kind of popular/ They'll think you became a monk, though they've seen your junk/ Now you'll play a different show, so let's start because you have an awfully long way to go/ Long.... well...," she continued.
To Weiner's wife Huma Abedin, who has vowed to stand by her husband despite his confessions to extramarital affairs, Chenoweth sang, "She should take a page from Hillary/ And become independent of her hubby/while you sport a chatroom chubby." She added, "Seriously Huma, if that guy doesn't zip up and unplug, just kick him to the curb."
Before delivering the song, the "Glee" actress had noticed Weiner about it as tweeting, "#weiner I have a song of advice for you.....watch the #TonightShow @jayleno TONIGHT." She also gave a shout-out to "Wicked" composer-lyricist Stephen Schwartz, "@composerstephen thank you for writing Popular. And for 'ok-ing' the Weiner song."
Weiner's second sex scandal broke on July 23, several months after he returned to politics in the New York City mayoral race. He allegedly sent explicit photos under the alias "Carlos Danger" to a 22-year-old woman, with whom Weiner had contact as late as April 2013.
