The Complete Guide to Backing Up iPod & iTunes Music (2005)
One of the most common questions we receive at Ask iLounge is a variant on this theme: "my computer crashed and I lost all my music files; how can I copy my music back from my iPod to my computer?" While we've provided answers to that question, you'll be much better off if you never need to resort to that good but imperfect option. The better solution: create a true backup of your iTunes music library, copied from your hard drive.
Even the best computer can fall victim to hard drive problems. While you can't avoid losing something, you can protect almost everything by backing up your files regularly. We won't go into the specifics of backing up your entire computer or your documents, but we'll look closely at how to back up your iTunes music collection, your playlists, ratings and other information for your iTunes library.
The Files and Folders iTunes Needs
Unless you've specified otherwise, your computer has an iTunes folder that's located in your My Documents > My Music folders if you are running Windows, or your Music folder (inside your home folder) if you use Mac OS X. The iTunes folder contains three items: two files, one called iTunes 4 Music Library and another called iTunes Music Library.xml (though you may not see this extension), and another folder called iTunes Music.
The iTunes folder on Windows XP.
Let's start with the files. It may seem strange that there are two files with such similar names, but these files contain different information. The iTunes 4 Music Library file contains the database of all the songs in your iTunes library. It also contains your playlists, your ratings, your play counts, last played dates and more. The iTunes Music Library.xml file contains some of this same information, but is used to provide access to your music to other programs. You need both of these files to use iTunes; however, if they get deleted, iTunes creates new empty files, and only adds to them when you import music. (In other words, if these files are deleted, especially the iTunes 4 Music Library file, your iTunes library will appear empty the next time you open iTunes.)
Your iTunes Music folder contains the music files in your iTunes library, unless you have chosen not to store them there. By default, iTunes copies all of your music files to this folder when you add them to your library. If this is not the case, you probably have turned off this option in the iTunes preferences.
If the Copy Files to iTunes Music Folder when Adding to Library option is checked, iTunes copies all your music files to your iTunes Music folder.
It is best to leave this option checked unless you have a lot of music and use external hard disks to store it. With this option active, you always know where your music files are, and you can back them up more easily.
Why You Should Back Up Your Music
One of the key reasons iLoungers want to retrieve the music from their iPod is computer crashes; especially with Windows, the most common "solution" to problems is to erase your hard disk and re-install the operating system. Assuming you can even access any of the files on your hard disk before you wipe it, you may remember to copy off your documents, but forget about your music files.
While you can get the music files back from your iPod, that's not a perfect process - especially if something goes wrong in the transfer process. Files you purchased from the iTunes Music Store may be lost for good; you can't re-download your files to your computer unless you pay again. While you can always rip your CDs a second time, the labor and hours you'll spend will be crushing. Finally, you'll lose all of the playlists that you've worked so hard to set up, as well as play counts and last played dates. A simple backup once in a while can spare you all of this grief.
How to Back Up Your iTunes Music Files
There are several ways you can back up your iTunes music files, but the simplest is to simply make a copy of your entire iTunes folder (the one in Windows' My Music or in your Mac's Music folder). You can copy this to an external hard disk, if you have one - if not, we strongly recommend purchasing an external hard disk if you have a lot of music. At under $100, they are relatively inexpensive these days, and you can use one to back up both your music and the rest of your personal files, ensuring that if your computer fails you'll be protected. If you have an external hard disk, simply drag your iTunes folder to the hard disk to copy all its contents. If your music is stored in another location, drag the folder containing your music files to your external hard disk as well.
If you don't have and don't want an external hard disk, the alternative is to burn CDs or DVDs with your music files. You can either do this directly from the Windows Explorer or the Mac OS X Finder, or you can use iTunes to do it for you. Here's how to do so with iTunes.
First, go to iTunes' Preferences menu (Edit > Preferences on Windows, iTunes > Preferences on Mac OS X) and click the Burning tab. Check Data CD. A data CD burns exact copies of your music files; it doesn't create audio CDs, nor does it convert the files in any way. (If you later want to burn audio CDs, make sure to change this setting after your backup.)
Check Data CD in the iTunes Burning preferences to burn a data disk containing copies of your files.
For your first backup, start by making a note of the date; you'll understand why later. Then click the Library icon in the iTunes Source list, select all your music (Control-A on Windows; Command-A on Mac), and select File > New Playlist from Selection. This creates a playlist with all your music. Select this playlist, then click the Burn Disc button to start burning your music.
Click Burn Disc button to start burning discs to backup your music files.
iTunes will ask you to insert a disc; if you have a CD burner, insert a blank CD. If you have a DVD burner, insert a blank CD or DVD. (Remember, DVDs hold about the equivalent of 6 CDs, so it is much quicker to back up your files to DVD, if this is possible.) When iTunes has filled up the CD or DVD, it will eject the disc and ask you for another disc. It will continue until it has burned everything in the playlist.
After this has finished, make a new smart playlist (File > New Smart Playlist), and select Date Added Is After [the date you recorded earlier]. The next time you've added a fair amount of music to your iTunes library, enough to fill up a CD for example, select this playlist and burn it to disc. This will add all the files that you didn't back up the first time.
A smart playlist that will display files you've added to your iTunes library since your last backup.
After you've completed this backup, select the playlist, then select File > Edit Smart Playlist. Change the date to the new date on which you just backed up your more recent files. Each time you want to back up more files, use this playlist, then update its date. You'll always have a playlist containing files you've added to your iTunes library since the last backup.
All that remains is to back up those two iTunes Library files somewhere as well; iTunes doesn't copy them when you back up your music files. Find a safe place where you can copy them - another CD, for example - and burn them there.
Now, even if your computer crashes and you lose everything, you'll be able to restore your iTunes library easily. After installing iTunes, drop those two files into the iTunes folder (again, the one located in your My Documents > My Music folders if you are running Windows, or your Music folder (inside your home folder) if you use Mac OS X), and then use your CDs or DVDs to copy all of your music back into the iTunes Music folder.

All my music is stored on an external hard drive (Lacie). The local Apple store recently installed Tiger for me (G4 Powerbook), but in the process did not back-up/archive so I lost all my files. However, I can see that all my music is still in the external but can't figure out how to access it from a currently blank iTunes.

So embarassed. In the confusion of setting up the DVD burner and installing Roxio, I got CD's mixed in with my DVD's and therefore I was burning onto CD's! Duhh!

is there a way for me to "Consolidate Library" while deleting the existing files? I've only got about 13 free gigs on my internal hard drive, and I want to consolidate my (currently spread-out) library before backing up onto an external hard drive . A considerable amount of the files, however, are outside of the iTunes folder, and I'll certainly run out of disk space while consolidating :/ is there any way around this? Perhaps a way to consolidate the library onto the external drive, while still keeping everything the same on the internal drive? Thanks to anyone that can help me out.

For those who want to copy songs from iPod to computer, I had to do this when I went from a laptop to my home desktop. I tried backing up my files to external hard drive then copying to the new PC but all I got was a blank iTunes. I had to use a program called copyPod that actually imports the songs from your iPod to your computer.

The feeling of being abandoned is always around the corner. I keep being surprised at how quickly it rears its ugly head. Yesterday I experienced that nasty feeling in my innermost being. Just raw anxiety, seemingly disconnected from anything. I kept asking myself, "why are you so restless, why are you so anxious, why are you so ill at ease, why do you feel so lonely and abandoned?" …Talking lessened my anxiety and I felt peaceful again. No one can ever heal this wound, but when I can talk about it with a good friend I feel better.
What to do with this inner wound that is so easily touched and starts bleeding again? It is such a familiar wound. It has been with me for many years. I don't think this wound -this immense need for affection, and this immense fear of rejects -will ever go away. It is there to stay, but maybe for a good reason. Perhaps it is a gateway to my salvation, a door to glory, and a passage to freedom! -Henry Nouwen, Sabbatical Journey

BROWNIE WISE PAPERS, ca. 1928-1968
15 cu. ft.: 26 DB, 7 F/O, 27 sound recordings
by: Mimi Minnick, July 1995
Biographical Note
Brownie Humphrey was born in Buford, Georgia in 1913, the daughter of Rosabelle Stroud Humphrey and Jerome Humphrey, a plumber. According to longtime friend Kay Robinson, Brownie knew that there were few business opportunities for women in the South, and that "unless she wanted to work in sales, she would have to leave the South." After meeting Robert Wise at the Texas Centennial in 1936, where the couple saw an exhibition highlighting a bright future at Ford Motors, Brownie and Robert married and moved to the Detroit area where he worked as a machinist, later opening a small machine shop. The couple divorced in 1941, about three years after the birth of their only child, Jerry. Brownie Wise never remarried.
During the late 1930s and early 1940s, Brownie contributed to a correspondence column of the Detroit News under the pen name "Hibiscus." Her columns were largely autobiographical, but used elements of fantasy and romance to address a uniquely female urban community. In Detroit, Wise worked briefly at an ad agency and in a millinery shop. During World War II, Wise got a job as an executive secretary at Bendix. After the war, Brownie and her mother, Rose Stroud Humphrey, began selling Stanley Home Products. When Jerry became ill in 1949, they followed a doctor's advice and moved to Miami where they began a direct selling business they called Patio Parties. Through this business, the mother daughter team distributed Poly-T (Tupperware), Stanley Home Products, West Bend, and other household goods through an innovative home party plan adopted by Brownie.
Thomas Damigella in Massachusetts, and Brownie Wise in South Florida, quickly became among the fastest movers of Tupperware products, attracting the attention of Earl Tupper, who was still searching for a profitable outlet for his plastic containers. Because Americans were still skeptical of plastics and because the Tupper seal required demonstration, early attempts at department store sales had been unsuccessful. Some independent dealers had more success selling through demonstrations at state fairs or door-to-door, but sales and distribution remained low. The experiences of Damigella and Wise convinced Tupper to offer the products on a home party plan. He partnered with Norman Squires, the originator of Hostess Home Parties, to pursue this strategy.
In 1951, Tupper recruited Brownie to develop the Hostess party plan for Tupperware, and named her vice president of the company. She is credited with developing the party plan and sales organization, and with creating the annual Jubilee, a pep-rally and awards ceremony for dealers and distributors; it was her idea to locate company headquarters in Kissimmee, and she oversaw the design and construction of the campus. With the company's meteoric success came national recognition. Her public role was all the greater because Earl Tupper shunned all public exposure; Wise was the public head of the company throughout the 1950s. She was both honored guest and invited speaker at national sales and marketing conferences, where she was often the only woman in attendance. Scores of laudatory articles about her appeared in the sales industry and general business press, and she became the darling of the women's magazines, including features in McCalls, Charm and Companion.
Tupper and Wise clashed over the management and direction of the business in late 1957 and the board of directors forced her out in January, 1958. She filed a $1,600,000 suit against the company for conspiracy and breach of contract, but settled out of court for a year's salary -- about $30,000. Shortly thereafter, Tupper sold the company to Dart/Rexall and relinquished all involvement with it.
Beginning in 1958 and through the 1960s, Brownie co-founded three direct sales cosmetics companies, Cinderella (1958-59), Carissa (1963) and Sovera/Trivera (1966-69). She also was president of Viviane Woodard Cosmetics (1960-62), and consulted for Artex and others. In addition, she undertook a real estate development venture in Kissimmee with Charles McBurney and George Reynolds (both former Tupperware executives). She seems never to have achieved the same level of success in these later business ventures. Wise continued to live in the Kissimmee area, moving from Waters' Edge, the spectacular 1920s mansion she occupied during the Tupperware years, to a home George Reynolds designed for her in. She was active in her church and as an artist, working in clay and textiles. During the last eight years of her life she was in declining health. She died in December 1992.
Scope and Content Note
The Brownie Wise Papers constitute an essential complement to the Earl Tupper Papers, acquired in 1992, and to the museums rich collections of Tupperware products. Together these collections document not only the founding and early business history of Tupperware, but also significant areas of American history in which the museum has a demonstrated interest. The Brownie Wise Papers illuminate aspects of an American consumer culture which achieved its apex in the post-World War II years; in many ways, Tupperware and the Tupperware party reflect the key defining elements of the fifties. Of special significance is the story these papers tell of a successful woman business executive and working mother, in an era whose women have more often been characterized by June Cleaver and Harriet Nelson. The Tupperware story offers rich insights into the society and culture of the era, illuminating issues of gender, consumerism, and technological development.
There are approximately 15 cubic feet of materials, including photographic and audiovisual materials. The collection is organized into three series.
Series 1: PERSONAL PAPERS, ca. 1928-1968. A scrapbook touches on her life as a girl in the 1920s. Souvenir photographs of the 1936 Texas Centennial Exhibition at which she met her future husband, letterhead of his Detroit business, travel postcards, war ration books, income tax returns and a scrapbook chronicling her writings under the penname Hibiscus for the Detroit News, give a glimpse into her life during the late 1930s and early 1940s. For the 1950s, there are records of taxes and household expenses. The collection also includes some of her 1940s and 1950s dress patterns; as a woman in the public eye, Wise's trim figure and fashionable attire were much discussed.
Series 2: STANLEY HOME PRODUCTS, PATIO PARTIES, POLY-T PARTIES, HIBISCUS SALES AND GARDENIA SALES, ca. 1947-1959. This series includes records of Wise's innovative direct sales businesses for the period before she was recruited by Tupperware. Files include order forms, correspondence with sales agents, and instructions on sales methods. There are sales records, invoices, shipping documents, accounting records and sales force newsletters from the Miami Tupperware dealership known as Hibiscus Sales, which Wise opened in 1949 with her mother. Until her death in 1959, Brownie's mother Rose Humphrey, continued to operate the Miami dealership as well as Gardenia Sales, which supplied Tupperware to Puerto Rico. There are accounting records and dealer correspondence documenting this enterprise.
Series 3: TUPPERWARE HOME PARTIES, ca. 1951-1959. This series includes files of Wise's business correspondence, notes and memoranda, and speeches. There is some business correspondence with Earl Tupper, who remained at the firm's manufacturing plants in the Northeast. Also included are publicity reprints and newsclippings, as well as public relations scrapbooks from 1951 to 1958. There are nearly complete runs of Tupperware Sparks and the Tupperware Sentinel, company publications prepared for the sales force, as well as catalogs, recruitment publications and other company literature. The series is divided into six subseries as follows:
Series 4: TUPPERWARE HOME PARTIES, ca. 1951-1959. Wise's business activities in the late 1950s and early 1960s as a co-founder and consultant in direct selling cosmetics enterprises also are well documented. Companies include Cinderella (1958-59), and Vivian Woodard (1960-62), Carissa (1963), Aloe Vera (1966-68), Trivera (1967-68), and Sovera (1967-69). Organized files include sales handbooks and dealer/distributor literature written by Wise, correspondence, reports and recommendations for clients, samples of advertising and marketing materials, and sales force newsletters.
Series 5: OTHER DIRECT SALES CONSULTING, ca. 1958-1971. Handbooks, franchise agreements and correspondence document aspects of her work for ABCWare, Vacronware, Artex and others direct sales companies during the 1960s.
Series 6: OTHER BUSINESS VENTURES, ca. 1958-1967. Includes files from several of Wise's late 1950s real estate development ventures, and from the Brownie Wise Sales Success course.
Series 7: PHOTOGRAPHS, ca. 1930-1968.
Includes personal photographs of Brownie Wise at home, travelling, and with her son, but the bulk of the material is comprised of publicity photographs or people and events, primarily for the Tupperware years, but also including some from Sovera and other cosmetics companies for which she consulted.
Series 8: AUDIO RECORDINGS, ca. 1953-1957; 1977; n.d. Includes reel-to reels, 78s, 33 1/3s and one audiocasette of Tupperware Home parties meetings, motivational speeches, and songs.
ProvenanceThe collection was donated to the Archives Center, National Museum of American History in March 1994 by Brownie Wise's son, Jerry Wise, of Kissimmee, Florida.

According to the NWAPA, 17 vehicles were tested, including pure electrics, plug-in hybrids and "clean" diesels.
But it was the Fiat 500e that came out on top in the electric class.
Bengt Halvorson, Drive Revolution co-chair, remarked:
"The Fiat 500e is an electric car with sex appeal. Unlike other electric vehicles, we think the Fiat 500e will lure in a type of buyer that otherwise might not even have considered a plug-in model.

Juventus maintained their unbeaten record in all competitions this season as despite fielding a second string side they overwhelmed a full strength AS Roma 3-0 in their Italian Cup quarter-final on Tuesday.
Emanuele Giaccherini set them on their way in the sixth minute as the vertically challenged Italian international forward broke the offside trap to score his second goal in as many matches, having hit the back of the net against Atalanta on Saturday.
Veteran Juventus icon Alessandro Del Piero doubled their lead in the 30th minute, the 37-year-old unleashing an unstoppable shot into the left hand corner of Maarten Stekelenburg's goal.
Roma didn't improve their chances of a comeback when they were reduced to 10 men in the 68th minute, Argentinian Erik Lamela being sent from the pitch after fouling Giaccherini right in front of the linesman.
Fabio Quagliarella set up Alessandro Matri for Juventus's third in the final minute of the match and set up a semi-final against the winners of Thursday's tie between AC Milan and Lazio.
The other semi-final will feature the winners of Wednesday's match-ups between Siena and Chievo and a repeat of last year's quarter-final between Napoli and holders Inter Milan.

modDB.com: State your real name, job, place where you are from and age!
Bradman: I'm Brad *bradman* Paras, I do a lot of contract design work, but currently I'm working for a university developing educational hockey games. I live on the West Coast in Vancouver, Canada. I'm 21, just finished up my degree in Interactive Arts/Comp Sci, and am looking to do my Masters in Educational Gaming (hard life eh?).
modDB.com: Lego Warz was thought up when? Why the Lego? Is the mod like another game or mod in your opinion?
Bradman: LegoWarz the game was thought up in February of 2003. Less than a year prior to that date, Siv (our lead modeler), a couple friends of mine, and I created our first 3D short, a video about a Legoman who gets stranded in a bathroom and has to find his way back to the Lego pile. We created this video as part of course at school in which we were learning 3Ds Max. This video renewed our love for Lego and when January of this year came around, I was given the opportunity to spend a few months developing any game I chose for credits in university!
Why the Lego? Why not the Lego?! There are so many mods out there that are really great, but so many of them are just becoming the same thing over and over. Lego rules, we all know that, and while there are Lego games out there, they're all made for kids 12 and under. Some of these games have some pretty cool ideas...but what lacks in them is the ability to play them on-line with your friends - and that's a big part of Lego!
As you probably know, the cool thing about Lego is that you can build and do almost anything with it. The more and more time we spend on this mod, we realize that there's a lot more to it than just Lego wars. The Wave Race mission is a testament to this. We're hoping that by the time the official game is released, the game will bring together great game-play from many mods and games out there with a Lego twist, and will do it in multi-player glory!
modDB.com: How long have you been working on Lego Warz?
Bradman: LegoWarz has been in development for about 2 months. In that period, we've probably had about 5-10 nights of decent sleep.
modDB.com: Describe the best feature in the mod in your opinion? What should the person look for that they might miss?
Bradman: The best feature in LegoWarz is definitely the vehicles. Legomen are cool, but when you play with Lego, most of the time you (well at least I do) spend your time trying to make the coolest car or helicopter! And that is what we've done with LegoWarz. In our first Beta, we released 5 brand new vehicles, 4 based off of actual Lego collections, and 1 designed completely by us out of real Lego pieces. We even have a motorcycle, which is a first in v1.46 I believe.
The vehicles included in the beta are the same across both teams. This will NOT be the case in the final version. Each team of Legos (right now we have the SpaceDudes and Navy-Seals), will have their very own distinct collection of vehicles. Some teams will be primarily land based, others air and sea. We believe this will add a very interesting dynamic to the game-play experience. I won't go into that yet. Keeping on topic, the player should keep an eye out for the cool icons at the bottom of the screen, you don't wanna miss those!! =)
modDB.com: Describe the weapons and what the weapon you will use the most and why?
Bradman: You'll find the weapons in LegoWarz to be unique in a different sorta way. Like the SMG and the Sniper, they'll be based off of common weapon types, but the way you use them will be slightly different. Take the SMG, for example. The SMG is Lego so it is rather smooth and simple. On screen there are cross-hairs, but if you switch to Optics view (a cool feature in Operation Flashpoint), you'll simply see the round front of the weapon. We could have created sophisticated weapons with precise aiming devices attached to them, but this game is about Lego and the weapons you'll see in the game will very closely resemble Lego style weapons.
The usage of weapons will depend on your playing style. Those who like to hide in bushes and take fewer shots will find themselves hiding in bushes, being careful with each shot. Those who want to blow their opponents into thousands of pieces will probably choose the bazooka.
modDB.com: How is the damage system in Lego Warz?
Bradman: LegoWarz has the most sophisticated damage system you've ever seen in a video game. Each character has 270 hit points, each with separate animations and AI responses. Ya right! This game is a Lego game so the damage system will also closely reflect Lego characteristics - headshots, etc. We're working on implementing a more complex damage system where Lego pieces actually separate. That's top secret stuff though.
modDB.com: Gameplays what's your favorite and explain them!
Bradman: Personally, I love a challenge, and the best challenge (sometimes) comes from playing with other human beings. Fortunately, now there are a lot of gameplay styles that support multi-player. Some of my favorites are team objective based games (thank you Counter Strike), racing (any sort - car, air, snowboarding, you name it...yum speed), and the RTS game-play style.
I did most of the mission design and scripting for the LegoWarz Beta 1.0 and if you take a close look at it, you'll notice these gameplay styles making their way into it. You've got the ultimate team objective based game, Capture the Flag. This game is an all-time favorite because you have to manage defense, offense, and raw chance all at the same time. Add in a few variables such as vehicles and the game-play possibilities are endless. Bomb Run also fits in this category. You're in a team and your objective is to get your Bomb Truck to your opponent's base first. There's a number of strategies you could take but I won't go into that and will let you find out for yourself.
And of course, I couldn't help but get some racing action into the game. Wave Race is all about taking the shortest route around a track with a few obstacles. I love the rush you get when you know that in the next corner you are going to own your opponent and make them wish they had shaved off a few milliseconds earlier in the race. Even Bomb Run has a racing element to it.
modDB.com: I see on the site you keep changing the engine. Why?
Bradman: Whereas some mods and even retail games are based off of a cool engine, LegoWarz is not. As you now know, one of the most important features in LegoWarz is in fact the vehicles. When choosing an engine, we realized that whatever engine we chose better have good support for vehicles. And not just good vehicles, a wide range of vehicles. This immediate limited our selection to Battlefield 1942, Operation Flashpoint, and a few others that sorta did the job like Tribes II. Operation Flashpoint is an all time favorite of mine, but at the time we started the mod, Battlefield was new and really picking up so we realized that if we wanted to make a game that many people could play, Battlefield would be the engine of choice.
After about a month of little progress, we realized that the most important part of LegoWarz was being sacrificed for BF1942. We were having major difficulty programming new game modes into the engine. Even if you look now, most of the mods for BF1942 are simply mods - modifications of the existing models and textures. LegoWarz is much more than that, it is a new way of playing multi-player games. At this point, we realized that Operation Flashpoint was the engine that could do the job. With a sophisticated built in mission editor, support of external scripts, and C++ based model code, Operation Flashpoint allows for very different changes in minimal time. OFP is a big part of the reason we were able to create such a full-featured mod in such little time.
That said, LegoWarz remains to be about the game and not the engine so we are open to developing new iterations of the mod on new engines as they come out if we feel that they have the potential of expanding the game even more.
modDB.com: Explain how the player classes will work and why I should be one over the other in your opinion:
Bradman: When LegoWarz is completed, each team will be different, and each class within these teams will vary as well. The NavySeals will have snipers, commanders, and other similar classes. The SpaceDudes, though, will have different classes that use weapons like lasers and drive vehicles like space ships. If we were to have a new team called the PirateGuys, they'd probably have classes like Swordsman, Gunman, and Sea Captain. The different teams will each have their own strengths and weaknesses and these will be reflected in the vehicles they drive, the weapons they use, and the camouflage their gear provides. When you play the game, you will want to choose the team and class that best suits your playing style.
modDB.com: What mods do you like?
Bradman: I'm not a big fan of Deathmatch game-play, so when I got my hands on CounterStrike beta 3.0 or whatever it was at the time, I was an instant fan. Even still Counter Strike remains as one of my favorites because of its good mix of team-play and individual heroics. I also enjoy war-based mods such as Day of Defeat, but I wish there were more mods out there that fit under the Comical/Fun category. I'm very thankful for Moddb, though, which provides a way for these not-so-mainstream mods to find their way to players who enjoy a little fun. Gimme a mod that does something new and different and I'm sure you'll find me playing it!
modDB.com: Final thoughts:
Bradman: Play mods or they won't survive. Make mods that are different or they'll be overlooked. Make games because you love to or they'll be uninspired. Play LegoWarz or else.
Thanks for your time and concentration!
Become the Lego.

The Fulkerson Prize is awarded for outstanding papers in the area of discrete mathematics. The term "discrete mathematics" is interpreted broadly and is intended to include graph theory, networks, mathematical programming, applied combinatorics, applications of discrete mathematics to computer science, and related subjects.
Originally, the prizes were paid out of a memorial fund administered by the AMS that was established by friends of the late Delbert Ray Fulkerson (1924-1976) to encourage mathematical excellence in the fields of research exemplified by his work. The prizes are now funded by an endowment administered by the Mathematical Optimization Society.
Up to three awards of \$1500 are presented at each (triennial) International Symposium of the MPS. Eligible papers should represent the final publication of the main result(s) and should have been published in a recognized journal or in a comparable, well-refereed volume intended to publish final publications only, during the six calendar years preceding the year of the Symposium. The prizes will be given for single papers, not series of papers or books, and in the event of joint authorship the prize will be divided.
Next Prize: July 2018
Nomination Period: 1 Jan – 15 Feb 2018
Nomination Procedure:
To nominate a candidate, submit a letter of nomination (including reference to the nominated article and an evaluation of the work) to the chair of the committee. Electronic submissions to email@example.com are preferred.Friedrich Eisenbrand
Most recent prize: 2015 – The 2015 Fulkerson Prize was awarded to Francisco Santos, for "A Counterexample to the Hirsch Conjecture", Annals of Mathematics, 2012. "For almost 50 years, many well-known mathematicians have tried unsuccessfully to settle the conjecture, until a counterexample was cleverly constructed by Francisco Santos. Santos constructs a 43-dimensional polytope with 86 facets having diameter at least 44. So it lives in a space where intuition has left most of us. To construct the counterexample, Santos combines ideas and techniques stemming from various disciplines of mathematics. Although he gives a negative answer to a highly visible and more than half a century old conjecture, his methods substantially influence today's mathematics. This is witnessed by the large number of follow-up papers that build on this award-winning paper and carry his techniques further on."

Responding to Bastrop County Fires
The Salvation Army Responding to Bastrop Fires
AUSTIN, TX (October 15) – Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Service teams in the Texas Division have been deployed to provide assistance to Bastrop County. On Thursday, two Salvation Army teams were deployed to Bastrop County where a wild fire has consumed 4,200 acres, destroyed 9 homes, and is threatening an additional 150 residences. The Williamson County canteen and Bryan College Station Rapid Response Unit are working to support first responders battling to control the blaze that is expected to grow in the coming days due to the very dry conditions in Central Texas.
Disaster teams will be providing meals and hydration to firefighters, other first responders and survivors through our mobile canteen and mobile response unit. Earlier in the week the Williamson County canteen served 30 firefighters at a blaze in Taylor that, fortunately, was quickly contained.

As some Republicans on Capitol Hill try to cut, or even eliminate, its government funding, National Public Radio has sent a public thank-you to the Obama administration for proposing an increase in taxpayer funding for public radio.
"Public broadcasting received a vote of confidence today from the Obama Administration," NPR said in a statement Monday. "The President's FY 2012 budget submission to Congress included $451 million for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) for the two year advance appropriation for FY 2014, an increase of $6 million over FY 2013 funding."
Vivian Schiller, the head of NPR -- and focus of much controversy over the firing last year of commentator Juan Williams -- released a statement saying she is "grateful to the Obama Administration for recognizing the importance of public radio to the life of communities across the nation."
"At a time when our country is confronting many difficult challenges," Schiller said, "public broadcasting is providing an essential service by informing and educating 170 million Americans every month. This mission is more relevant than ever."
It is difficult to determine how much of its budget NPR receives from the federal government. Schiller has said in the past that the figure is "less than two percent annually, on average" of NPR's total budget. (The organization's most recent budget was $166 million.) House Republicans believe the government's part of NPR's budget is much bigger, but how much bigger is not clear. NPR receives money not just from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; it also receives government dollars from the National Endowment for the Arts, as well as the Departments of Education and Commerce. In addition, Corporation for Public Broadcasting money that goes directly to public radio stations is cycled back to NPR when it is used to purchase NPR programming.
In any event, if the portion of the Obama budget dealing with public broadcasting is passed, NPR will receive more, not less money from the taxpayers.

The Marauders however wont hesitate to educate you on what you need, considering you're willing to learn! We do also offer a raid team, and a PvP team that you will have the chance to join if you are accepted into the Marauders.
(Q): Please note any RP experience you have (The Marauders are willing to help you if you lack experience considering you are willing to learn!)
(A): I don't have a lot of RP experience, but sometimes me and my friends have started some drinking parties in taverns which were really fun and a lot of people joined in. Also, my favorite RP memory is when I played a stupid peon only looking for girls and wanting to cut down every tree on Azeroth, while i was walking around with my friend, a tauren druid, who was trying to make me understand the wonders of nature. We both had a really great time and went on for hours and im looking for that kind of gameplay again.
(Q): Why do you want to join us?
(A): I just transfered to Defias Brotherhood looking for RP as i'm pretty tired of raiding and pvp and wanna try new aspects of the game. I also love to get out of my own life for a while and it would be great to escape into my characters world instead. But I've heard it's hard to find RP unless you join a guild and you seemed to be a friendly one that accepts new roleplayers.
(Q): What is your own definition of roleplay?
(A): Acting in character and taking a bigger part in the game itself, auctually having your own story to follow.
(Q): What do you think makes a good roleplayer?
(A): Someone that is flexible and let the other player's influence his roleplaying instead of just tick to his own.
(Q): Do you wish to raid with us? If so what experience do you have.
(A): I'm not really sure if I wanna go back to raiding at all, and I dont have much time, but I have experiences from Wrath of the lich king til now so it's not an unfamiliar thing for me. Sure if you lack someone i could hop in if I have the time, but I have to wait and see if I really wanna pick up regular raiding again.
(Q): Are you interested in PvP such as rated battlegrounds and arena groups? If so, what experience do you have with these
(A): I'm more of a raider than Pvper auctually, but I'm pretty interested in PvP aswell. Again, I dont think I have time to get all serious about PvP and my only experience is from normal battlegrounds and some worldpvp.
(Q): How did you hear about the Shatterskull Marauders? (Forum, friends, ingame etc)
(A): I was looking for a guild to join on the defiasrp website.
IN CHARACTER (Meaning it's a dialog)
Greetings potential Marauder. It is required of you to answer a series of questions in moderate detail so we can assess your suitability to us. We are a warband built on bloodthirst, strategy, honour, strength and respect. If you lack these, you are not the candidate for us. However, if you think you have what it takes, carry on!
(Q): Please state your name and the race that you hail from.
(A): My name is Draknosh and I am an orc.
(Q): Why do you wish to join the warband?
(A): I'm always seeking for the next adventure, but feel empty when it's completed. I'm a lonely orc without a home and maybe all i need is some company other than my wolf?
(Q): While with us, you will be required to fight. Are you willing to fight to the best of your ability for the sake of the Horde and the warband?
(A): I live to fight, and i fight for my sake only. But if the prey is good, surely I'll fight by your side.
(Q): Please tell us a bit about yourself, this can be personal history, hobbies, or anything.
(A): I'd rather not talk about my past, but where my life is now. Ever since I saw a dragon the first time, I've been fascinated by them. What they can do and what I could do with them. So, I have a little hobby of myself to hunt down the most exotic and rare dragons to kill or capture. I have a pretty impressive collection if I say so myself.
Other than that I live for the freedom that is nature and I never stop in a big city too long. My life depends on the road and I follow it with my heart.
(Q): We are considered an elite fighting force amongst the Horde. What have you trained and specialized in? What makes you unique in combat?
(A): With my days of dragon hunting i could become a real investment for your force. I know the best way to kill any dragon, and if I can kill any dragon, then so I can kill anything. I am a steady marksman with my bow and you can always count on me killing the target without any wasted arrows.
(Q): We as a warband are not fond on cowardice, disobedience, or lack of strength. How will you plan to prove to us you lack these traits during your initiation period?
(A): My family was shamed by these three so I know them inside and out. I have to regain the honor we once had and I've sworn an oath to never back down and always go in with full power in everything I do. The part about disobedience though, as long as I see your cause fit mine, we will all come along.
The Alliance have launched an assault on the Horde of vast proportions. Your home city is under siege, you are defending the walls against your race's foes.
Caught on patrol whilst trying to reach you, your friends in the Marauders are taken prisoner by the Alliance, and in time will be executed. Your people will never allow you to leave; you can only abandon your post in secret. Leaving your post leaves a blind spot in your citys defenses, one the Alliance are sure to notice and use to break through the walls.
If you rescue your friends, there is no chance you will be able to re-enter your city.
There is no chance the other races of the Horde can send military forces to your home city as they are fighting on their own fronts.
Time is growing short...
(Q): Do you abandon your post and leave your city to die or do you break out under cover of darkness to rescue your friends?
(A): All I do is for my own cause, If my friends are stupid enough to get caught, why should I risk my life saving them?
But still I would probably be more drawn to the thrill of the adventure and go save them anyway. As a hunter, I'm very stealthy and could easily sneak around in the darkness to set them free, if I want to that is.

Controversy in Yorkshire as "Religion" nightclub opens in Wakefield, New Humanist, 1st August 2011
Controversy in Yorkshire as "Religion" nightclub opens in Wakefield, New Humanist, 1st August 2011
Back in my home town, we used to have a nightclub named "Heaven and Hell". As you might expect, it was a venue that only lived up to half of its name. It had three rooms, "Heaven", "Hell" and "Purgatory", the latter included, I would guess, only because the previous club to be housed in the premises, "Utopia" (the proprietors of such venues seemingly believe that transcendence is what the average provincial club-goer strives for), had also consisted of three rooms.
I can't be totally sure, but I don't recall anyone ever complaining about the name of Heaven and Hell. Of course, it's possible that his was because people were more preoccupied with the other reasons to be outraged at the club, such as the drug-use, under-age binge drinking and casual violence. But perhaps it was because the early-2000s, when Heaven and Hell was the place to be in our particular corner of post-industrial Lancashire, were simpler times.
For now, across the Pennines, controversy has broken out in Wakefield over the opening of a nightclub named "Religion", which plans to nights with names like "Friday Salvation" and "Monday Mass". Some of the town's residents, reports the Yorkshire Post, are outraged, and the Bishop of Wakefield, Stephen Platten has weighed in on the issue:
"Some of the names of the events are insensitive and inappropriate. Religion is about taking life seriously. Would people have been amused if they'd called it health, which is an equally serious topic, and named some of the rooms A&E and gynaecology? If any other aspect of people's lives was taken and trivialised in this way I think people would be upset. In particular, in this case, it affects Christian people."
Of course, you could argue that the Bishop's words suggest religion is about taking life too seriously (or devising bizarre analogies, for that matter). And his arguments certainly don't wash with the club's owners, Leisure 99, who defended their new venue's name:
"The definition of the word religion is a pursuit or interest followed with great devotion, which is what partygoers in the city are doing. We chose the term Resurrection for a Friday night, because the night-time economy's suffering and we're hoping to revive and revitalise it, as its definition suggests. The same is true of Salvation, and the word Mass was chosen because it's a massive Monday night of massive music."
While it's tempting to end this post by complimenting the unassailable rationale behind "Monday Mass", it's worth noting that some of those objecting to the club have suggested that the owners would not have dared co-opt Muslim terms in such sacrilegious fashion. Indeed, while defending the rights of the club owners to commit blasphemy, Sean Gabb of the Libertarian Alliance pointed out to the Yorkshire Post "the club might be living under police protection had they been promoting club nights called Jihad or Ramadan".
Perhaps so. But thinking back to some of the incidents I witnessed in the halcyon days of Heaven and Hell, I have to say that "Jihad" might have been an entirely appropriate name for a night at that particular venue.

The inspiration for the creation of LRAP was a program at Yale Law School, a first of its kind loan program begun in the late 1980s. Yale's administrators, including LRAP Advisory Board Chairman Stephen Yandle – one of the Yale program designers – realized the price-tag of attendance was causing many prospective students to worry about loan repayment, and its future impact on their career options and lifestyle potential. They created a program that would provide post-graduate financial security to students interested in using their degrees in public service and other lower paying positions.
After graduating from Yale and benefiting from their loan forgiveness program, Peter Samuelson (President of LRAP Association) realized the potential that this program had to help students and families across the country. Peter established LRAP Association in 2008, bringing Yandle and other industry experts on to the LRAP Advisory Board, to help shape the future of an organization that would forever change the way that students, families, and institutional leaders would think about the affordability of higher education.
LRAP Association collaborates with colleges and universities across the United States to help students with the burden of student loans. We provide a unique and effective solution for reducing the anxiety and burden of debt-repayment, empowering students to enroll and graduate from their first-choice educational institution. LRAP is a tool that provides a "safety-net" for students and their families. If a student's post-graduate income is low, LRAP helps students repay their educational loans.
The mission of LRAP Association is to help students by increasing access to the life-changing impact of higher education, and to enable our team, our clients, and our students to achieve their full potential.
We have answers.

Boîte Set de 3 pièces, 1,4 litre - Matt Steel Fingerprint Proof est évalué de 5 de 52.Rated 1 de 5 de Frogmorton par Coffee Tea Sugar Canisters I have had these canisters for some months now and they look good. Coordinating well with my black stainless steel and red kitchen. However they are NOT airtight which results in my sugar going hard and coffee solid. Being fair-minded person I initially thought perhaps I had unwittingly introduced some liquid into the canisters so I emptied one and soaked it (on the worktop) to loosen the hardened sugar. I returned a few minutes later to a flooded kitchen worktop which had dripped into my drawers. A fair bit of work drying that lot up I can tell you!!!!

In a pilot study, 19 patients with xerostomia resulting from radiation therapy had significantly improved measurements of physical well being and quality of life when treated twice a week for eight weeks with acupuncture, M. Kay Garcia, Ph.D., of the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, and colleagues reported online in Head & Neck.
However, there was no significant improvement in stimulated saliva flow rates, which rose to only 1.94 g from 1.92 at baseline with a peak at 2.59 g in the first week of treatment.
Radiation therapy for head-and-neck cancer patients often renders salivary glands incapable of producing adequate saliva. Previous research has found that acupuncture is effective in improving symptoms of xerostomia, and much literature has shown that the therapy improves salivary flow, the researchers said.
The current study found comparable results in symptom improvement. Measures of disease intensity on the Xerostomia Inventory were significantly better after eight weeks of acupuncture (P=0.0001), as were Patient Benefit Questionnaire scores (P=0.0011).
Quality of life scores on questions relating to head and neck cancer increased significantly as well (P=0.006).
And measures of physical well being improved significantly (P=0.04), although measures of social, emotional, and functional well being did not.
The researchers found no statistically significant improvements in stimulated and unstimulated saliva flow rates.
"If you look at the [quality of life] scores, they keep getting better, but if you look at saliva flow, it fluctuates over this period of time," said Gary Deng, M.D., Ph.D., of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, who was not involved in the study.
"So you have to wonder if increased salivary flow is induced by acupuncture or not," he said. "[Based on the quality of life scores], you would expect it to get better and better. So there is the possibility of natural fluctuation."
Dr. Deng and colleagues have previously reported favorable findings for improvement in xerostomia in head-and-neck cancer patients. (See: ASCO: Needles May Ease Morbidities of Head-and-Neck Cancer Treatment).
He said that since the present study had only a single arm, the researchers should conduct a follow-up study "with a good control group."
But Dr. Garcia said even small changes in salivary flow can result in increased oral comfort, as symptoms of xerostomia tend to appear when salivary flow rate is decreased to about half of an individual's baseline rate.
The researchers also noted that patients who have had major salivary glands irradiated do not spontaneously improve after four months, so the improvements in their study "were most likely attributable to the acupuncture treatment rather than spontaneous recovery."
The major limitation of the study was that there was only a treatment arm, raising the possibility of placebo effect.
The researchers said they plan to perform "well-designed placebo-controlled trials to ensure the findings hold in a more methodologically rigorous study."
|The researchers reported no conflicts of interest.

Our History
On October 6, 1968, the first MCC gathering was held in California under the leadership of Reverend Troy D. Perry. MCC was founded to provide a new church home where everyone would be welcome.
Church of the Holy Spirit MCC was founded in Fort Lauderdale in 1971 by a group who were traveling to Miami to worship at Christ MCC (one of the first churches in MCC outside of California). Bob Horton was one of those travelers and a founding member of Church of the Holy Spirit (Bob is an active member of Sunshine even today). Ted Calloway was the first pastor of the small group that met in private homes, bars, and for a while in the Realty Building Auditorium.
Finally, the small group bought a property at SW 2nd Court in Sailboat Bend. The group flourished and called the Reverend Elder John Gill to be their pastor. Reverend Gill was a graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary. Under John's leadership, the church continued to grow, so eventually a new building had to be purchased on SW 27th Street.
In 1986, the Reverend Grant Lynn Ford was called as the new pastor. During his pastorate, the church on 27th Street was remodeled, the name of the church was changed to Sunshine Cathedral, and in 2001 the church moved to its current location at 1480 SW 9th Avenue.
In 2000 the Sunshine Cathedral Foundation was formed to raise funds for capital campaigns and endowments for the Cathedral.
Since being at our location on SW Ninth Avenue, Sunshine Cathedral has become the home to the Samaritan Institute (formerly known as Light University) – the religious education program of Sunshine Cathedral, the Sunshine Cathedral Foundation, and Sunshine Social Services (SunServe) which offers counseling services, the McArtor Adult Day Care Center, support groups, youth programs, and other important services. Sunshine Cathedral is actually home to almost 30 organizations now (including the Gay Men's Chorus of South Florida).
In the summer of 2006 the Reverend Durrell Watkins joined the staff of Sunshine Cathedral as its liturgist and on November 3, 2007, Durrell was installed as the new Senior Minister of Sunshine Cathedral. Durrell is a graduate of Union Theological Seminary in New York City and holds a Doctor of Ministry degree from the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, MA.
Sunshine Cathedral is a multi-venue church, having held worship services and study groups in Jamaica and offering on-going worship services on the Internet and at two assisted living facilities as well as on its home campus in Fort Lauderdale. Plans for monthly, off-site/outdoor worship services are also underway.

Bible Verses About Faith
Bible verses about faith are listed below. We encourage you to continue reading the holy bible for additional bible verses and bible texts about faith or related topics, subjects, themes and categories.
What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

Drug-Induced Liver Injury: What Are The Main Causes?
(HealthDay News) — Idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is mainly caused by antimicrobials and herbal and dietary supplements (HDS), according to research presented at the annual meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology, held from Oct. 17–22 in Philadelphia.
Naga Chalasani, MD, from the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis, and colleagues reported the characteristics and selected subgroup analyses of 1,257 patients with DILI enrolled in a prospective study.
The researchers found that 1,091 of the subjects had causality adjudication completed, and of these, 899 had definite, highly likely, or probable DILI (235, 466, and 198, respectively). Liver injury was hepatocellular in 54% of these 899 patients, cholestatic in 23%, and mixed in 23%. In 9.9% of patients, death or liver transplantation occurred, and chronic DILI developed in 17.5%. 86% of all cases were caused by five classes of agents (antimicrobials, HDS, cardiovascular system agents, central nervous system agents, and antineoplastic agents). 36% of cases were caused by the top 10 individual agents (nine antimicrobials). The mortality rate of DILI differed by causative agent (19% mortality for DILI caused by ciprofloxacin vs. 0–1% for DILI caused by minocycline, cefazolin, and amoxicillin-clavulanate). Nine patients suffered from severe cutaneous reactions, four of whom died.
"Antimicrobials and HDS are the predominant causes of DILI in the United States," the authors write.
Several authors disclosed financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry.

Obama Website Reports Only 20 Jobs "Created or Saved" in Connecticut, 28 in Vermont & 22 in New Hampshire
The White House today announced that President Obama's economic stimulus plan has so far saved or created more than one million jobs.
But Barack Obama's government website paints a totally different picture—-
According to Recovery.gov the Obama Stimulus "created or saved" only 20 jobs in Connecticut.
Via Radio Vice Online and Recovery.gov
The Obama Stimulus created 28 jobs in Vermont.
The Obama Stimulus created 22 jobs in New Hampshire.
In fact the White House website reported today that a total of only 30,383 jobs have been created or saved by the Obama-Pelosi Stimulus.
They seem to have lost around 970,000 jobs some where. Or, maybe they were never there to begin with?
The US has lost 3.3 million jobs since the Obama-Pelosi stimulus act passed.
The US unemployment spiked from 7.6% to 9.8% this year under Obama… the highest rate in 26 years.

Bailey's Haul; Angel; Santa
Here's hubby's Santa and my Angel:-
They complimented our "blue tree" perfectly. :-)
3 comments:
Well, that little Bailey surely looks like a happy little camper with his xmas haul!!! LOL! And, he really looks like he's smiling!!!ReplyDelete
Buster had a great holiday too! He received gourmet (doggie) cookies, a ball that lights up and has a recorder in it that I can record a message into for him and when it rolls it plays the message as the lights flicker! He actually got another ball too, one that dispenses treats, and a couple of those toys with no stuffing - like they advertise on TV...lol!!!
Hugs, my friend!
The ornaments are just beautiful!!!
Looks like Bailey made a haul! So cute! Choxie and Ozzy got a bunch of new toys and bones. They have only cared about the bones. Hee! Hee! We give them each one, then they fight over the same one for hours. Choxie loves to start them off, but as soon as they get soft, Ozzy wants them. It goes back and forth for days. They are so little, it takes them a lot of time to get through them. Hee! Hee! At least when Shasta comes over (Mom & Dad's Schnauzer) she has a blast with their toys. They are so much fun!ReplyDelete
Oh how cute Bailey looks with all his Christmas goodies. AND i love the blue Santa and Angel.. very pretty...ReplyDelete
