The tough part is knowing where to begin. Robert Griffin III did so many things in one day: putting up unprecedented stats in his debut; winning on the road; injecting life into a fan base stung for the last 20 years; giving hope to a defense that too often had to play perfect.
In one game, Griffin showed why the Redskins traded away two future first-round picks to select him. Not that he gave any reason to doubt the move in the preseason, but he also didn't provide a hint of what he pulled off Sunday. Griffin completed 19 of 26 passes for 320 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Washington's 40-32 win over New Orleans.
More: Griffin proves worth the gamble
According to Elias Sports Bureau, he became the first player to pass for more than 300 yards, throw for two touchdowns and no interceptions in an NFL debut. He also became the first rookie to lead his team to at least 40 points since 1950, according to FOX Sports. Griffin added 42 yards on 10 runs.
"It was a lot of fun out there," Griffin said.
His teammates had their own reviews. Here's what they told reporters after the game:
— "From our standpoint, defensively, he's a sight for sore eyes," linebacker London Fletcher said.
— "As advertised," linebacker Ryan Kerrigan said.
— "He was captivating. If he continues to get better, the sky's the limit," nose tackle Barry Cofield said.
There was the matter of a botched play fake that resulted in a fumble (and 5-yard loss). Another time Griffin fell after a play fake leading to a sack. He was nearly intercepted once, albeit on a leaping attempt by the defensive back. So he wasn't perfect. But Griffin delivered what the Redskins needed.
Griffin got into a rhythm early without needing to make big throws downfield thanks to smart play-calling.
Washington used bubble screen after bubble screen to keep the Saints' defense chasing on the perimeter. That wasn't necessarily the game plan, as some of those were called at the line based on the coverage. They worked because of the zone-read fakes by Griffin. Time and again he froze the linebackers, enabling blockers to set an inside lane for the receiver.
Later, the Redskins started handing off on those plays. But even then, when the Saints linebackers anticipated a handoff, Griffin would hit them with a play-action pass for a big gain. That's what happened on a fourth-down, 13-yard pass to receiver Aldrick Robinson in which a passing lane opened because of the fake.
"They would see the look and think they knew what was coming," Griffin said afterward. "They weren't confused. They thought they had it right and we hit them with something else."
Griffin showed he could take a hit and still deliver. On an 88-yard touchdown pass to Pierre Garcon, with nearly all of it coming after the catch, Griffin stood in with blitzing safety Malcolm Jenkins bearing down.
More: Garcon suffers foot injury but expects to play next sunday
Garcon was the primary target but rather than dump the ball off, Griffin stood in and delivered a pass under pressure. Garcon made a jumping catch without breaking stride as Griffin hit the ground.
"I had enough time to look back and throw to him," said Griffin, holding the ball from that score in his press conference. "One thing receivers don't like to do is run across the middle for a long period of time. He did a good job finishing the play."
One reason Griffin won the Heisman Trophy at Baylor was his athleticism. Yes, that was on display in New Orleans too. On a bootleg to the left in the second quarter, Griffin ignored a semi-open fullback Darrel Young in the left flat. Instead, RG3 turned and threw back deep to Fred Davis for a 26-yard gain, showing his laser arm.
Another time Griffin ran to the right on a fourth-and-1 and lofted a deep ball to receiver Aldrick Robinson, matched one-on-one with safety Roman Harper in the end zone. Harper was called for pass interference. Griffin wanted to hit fullback Young, but he was bumped at the line. Griffin then used his speed to get outside and help make a huge play, which led to a touchdown.
Griffin received help from the defense and rookie running back Alfred Morris, who rushed for 96 yards on 28 carries.
"This is a long-term growing experience and the first game of the year," Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said of Griffin. "Guys rallied around him and took a lot of pressure off him."
Griffin received more hype than any other Redskins rookie in history. It's tough to measure what he means to a fan base that has seen three playoff seasons since 1993 and dozens of quarterbacks. But Griffin seems oblivious to it, on the field and off. He said he spent a quiet night in his room, having left his cell phone in Virginia. He has family in New Orleans, but he was still able to relax.
"Not try to stress or prove anything to anyone," he said. "Just go have fun. The guys in that locker room, I was still a rookie to them. After this game they told me I'm not a rookie anymore."

|Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics
|Alma Mater:
|Graduating Year:
Joe Alleva continues to bring unprecedented national recognition to LSU as Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics, overseeing historic growth of one of the most recognized brands in all of sports. Under his leadership, LSU has one of the country's premier programs with tremendous academics and athletics success. Now in his 10th year at LSU, Alleva remains dedicated to overall excellence and providing the resources necessary for student-athletes to excel in competition, in the classroom and in the community.
Alleva's strategic plan involves an unwavering investment in the future of LSU Athletics that will benefit the university for generations and create an enduring, impactful environment for student-athletes that contains the best in facilities, academic support and coaching staffs.
Alleva has expertly managed the department's finances and operations, making LSU one of the nation's top 10 programs in terms of revenue, profit, ticket sales and investment into its student-athletes and athletic endeavors. He joined the LSU family on April 4, 2008, and he was named vice chancellor in August of 2009, marking the first time in school history that the director of athletics has also held a vice chancellor position.
In the spring of 2016, he completed a five-year term on the prestigious NCAA Men's Basketball Committee, an appointment that affirmed his reputation as one of the most respected athletic administrators in the country. Alleva has been appointed to numerous national committees, including the Football Bowl Certification Committee, the NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet and several Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference committees.
Upon his arrival at LSU, Alleva made an immediate impact with a strategic master plan for the LSU athletics program -- "LSU: Defined by Excellence" -- to confirm the advancement and future of LSU Athletics as an exemplary enterprise. The central mission of the plan is to create an environment for student-athletes to reach their ultimate potential, prepare them to be champions in life and to set goals and values for the entire athletics program.
In the classroom, a total of 89 proud Tigers received their degrees from the university last year. LSU's Graduation Success Rate as reported by the NCAA remains at an all-time high with a score of 88, four points higher than the national average. Alleva's ardent dedication to academics ensures that the Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes is a first-class facility that cultivates success and the development of life skills.
The implementation under Alleva's direction of the "Geaux Givers" community outreach program fosters a relationship between the local citizens and LSU student-athletes. The Tigers in 2016-17 logged 7,048 hours in community service work across 21 sports. They played an integral role in assisting victims of the devastating flood that struck the Baton Rouge area in August 2016, helping to provide relief, rebuilding and rebirth for the community.
He has also bolstered the L-Club program to connect with former student-athletes, and he instituted the thriving "Project Graduation" plan in which former student-athletes return to LSU to earn their degrees.
On the field of play, his tenure has been distinguished by a number of significant achievements, including four 10-win seasons and 86 total victories by the football team. The Tigers have played in a bowl game in each of his nine gridiron seasons, and LSU has finished in the Top 20 seven times in that period. LSU under Alleva's leadership has claimed the 2009 baseball national championship and four College World Series berths, the 2015 men's golf national championship, two women's basketball Sweet 16 appearances, five gymnastics Super Six berths, four softball College World Series appearances and 18 NCAA Top 5 finishes indoors and outdoors by the men's and women's track and field teams.
The Tigers in the past nine seasons have earned 42 individual NCAA championships in the sports of men's and women's track and field, gymnastics, men's golf and women's golf. LSU has captured 16 Southeastern Conference team championships, and the Tigers have won 115 individual SEC titles during Alleva's term.
LSU enjoyed another banner year in 2016-17, as the school produced four Top 5 NCAA finishes and earned an outstanding No. 18 national ranking in the annual Learfield Directors' Cup, which measures the overall strength of collegiate athletic programs. Fourteen LSU teams competed in an NCAA championship event, and the Tigers finished in the Top 10 in eight sports.
Alleva's vision keeps LSU among the nation's leaders in facilities, and he is devoted to enhancing the experiences of fans at each of the Fighting Tigers' venues. Tiger Stadium is currently undergoing a significant upgrade in its concessions and restroom facilities, and this summer the largest center-hung video board in college basketball was installed in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
Last year, LSU unveiled two state-of-the-art venues – a Gymnastics Practice Facility and a Tennis Center featuring both indoor and outdoor courts – and construction is scheduled to begin this year on a Nutrition Center. An addition to the Football Operations Center's weight training area opened in August 2016, providing student-athletes with one of the finest strength and conditioning facilities in the world.
Under Alleva's direction, LSU in the fall of 2014 opened the expansion of the South End Zone of Tiger Stadium -- a project that added premium seating, general public seating and two state-of-the-art video boards -- continuing an effort to augment one of the most iconic venues in all of college sports. Since 2010, he has executed an aggressive campaign to preserve and enhance the appearance of Tiger Stadium that has included the installation of new windows, lighting systems, gating systems, and championship plazas.
Alleva supervised a major renovation to the University Club golf course that allows the LSU golf teams to play on one of the most challenging courses in the country. An overhaul of the LSU soccer facility has converted the stadium into fan-friendly venue, and the track and field program has received a new running surface in Bernie Moore Stadium and extensive renovations to its indoor facility.
An innovator with bold ideas that benefit Greater Baton Rouge, he was instrumental in the planning of Bayou Country Superfest, a three-day country music concert and festival held in Tiger Stadium from 2010 through 2016. The event attracted over 100,000 visitors each year and made a tremendous economic impact upon the community.
He became director of athletics at Duke in 1998 and his impressive tenure there propelled the university into the ranks of America's top all-around collegiate programs. Among his outstanding list of accomplishments includes the greatest 10-year period in Duke Athletics, winning more ACC and NCAA championships than in any other decade in school history.
Alleva, who earned his bachelor's degree in finance from Lehigh in 1975, was the quarterback of the football team and team captain in 1974. He also played on the baseball team and served as a graduate assistant football coach, earning an MBA in 1976.
While at Duke, he played a key role in the Durham, N.C. sports scene. He started Little League Baseball in Durham nearly 30 years ago, and also began the American Legion baseball program.
He is a member of the North Carolina American Legion Hall of Fame, Suffern High School Hall of Fame and the Rockland County Hall of Fame.
Alleva and his wife, Annie, have three children, J.D., Jeff, and Jenny, and four grandchildren.

It's almost as if there's an unspoken rule that bowling team names require bad puns. Here are some bowling team names from my company's annual bowling tournament…
- The Lucky Strikes
- Rolling Pins
- Spare Me
- Foot Fungus Freaks
- Pin Pals
- Ten Pin Wizards
- Split Happens
- The Thunderballs
Proposed team names, but unused…
- The Gutter Brawlers
- Wholly Bowlers
- We've Got Balls
- Split Ends
- I Can't Believe It's Not Gutter
Naming Your Own Bowling Team
Are you still looking for a good name for your bowling team? None of the above team names suit your fancy? There are some simple rules you can follow to creating your own team name. First, start with a word related to bowling. Here's a table of some of the most common bowling-related words and terminology:
|gutter ball
If you want to avoid a pun or play on words, you could simply pick one or two of the above words and put them together, adding an adjective for a little more pizzazz. Go for something with a good ring to it, or a little alliteration. For example:
- Super Strikes
- Crazy Pin Lane
- Bad Ball Bowlers
- Smelly Bowling Shoes
You would probably agree that these are pretty boring. I highly recommend you explore the puns and wordplay. A good start is to think of a common phrase that happens to use one of the words in the chart. Simply reuse that phrase and you automatically have a bowling team name with a double meaning. For instance, "Spare Change", "Going on Strike", or "Alley Cats" are regular phrases that work well for a bowling team. In the original list, "The Lucky Strikes" and "Rolling Pins" both followed this rule of thumb.
If you want to get even more experimental and want a more complex pun, you can try thinking of words, phrases, movie titles, or celebrity nams that sound similar or rhyme with bowling terminology. In the list at the top, "I Can't Believe It's Not Gutter" is amusing because it replaces "Butter" with "Gutter". Or try swapping similar-sounding words in and out of a bowling phrase. Here are a few more ideas along those lines…
- Gutter Bawl
- Changing Lanes
- Alley McBowl
- The Mis-Splits
- Gutterfinger
- The Tenpin Commandments
- Axis & Alleys
- Split-finger Fast-bowl
- The Pin Pricks
- The Incredibowls
Of course if you want to be the team dressed to impress, (or a bunch of hipsters), grab some proper bowling shirts and stencil on your ironic team name!
Good luck naming your bowling team! Have you come up with any great team names? If so, feel free to add them below.

'Pretty Little Liars' Season 3 Scoop: Did Paige Kill Maya?
Who do YOU think killed Maya? And furthermore, do you think she's really dead?
While Pretty Little Liars fans are still reeling from last night's revelation that Mona (Janel Parrish) is "A", or at least one member of the "A" Team, I'm here to talk about the other twist of the evening: Maya's (Bianca Lawson) death! It was a heartbreaking moment for Emily (Shay Mitchell) and 'Emaya' fans alike, and I have a feeling the killer is right under Emily's nose — or rather, attached to her face.
Yes, I'm officially pointing my speculative finger at Emily's other woman, Paige McCullers (Lindsey Shaw.) Not only was it beyond suspicious that Paige should happen to resurface on the same night Maya's body was discovered, but a source tells me Lindsey will very much be a part of the show's upcoming third season "because her storyline is hot."
Of course, there is a slight possibility that Maya isn't dead after all. Emily's mom (Nia Peeples) merely said the police think the body belongs to Maya. We won't know for sure until Pretty Little Liars returns with all-new episodes June 5.
Who do YOU think killed Maya? Was it Paige, or another member of the 'A' Team? Or do you think Maya is actually still alive? We've got a long wait until we get our answer, so drop your best theories in the comments section below!

Ferrer, Tsonga roll into French quarters
Paris, France – David Ferrer and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga were easy winners Sunday in the fourth round of the French Open.
The fourth-seeded Ferrer needed an 1 hour and 45 minutes to dispatch South Africa's Kevin Anderson, 6-3, 6-1, 6-1, while the sixth-seeded Tsonga had little trouble in a 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 pasting of Serbia's Viktor Troicki.
Ferrer, a semifinalist last year at Roland Garros, has not dropped a set in four matches this week. The Spaniard broke serve six times on Sunday and saved both break points against his serve. Anderson committed a whopping 41 unforced errors to Ferrer's 11.
"I'm very happy with my game today," said Ferrer. "Maybe I played the best match of this week. I am in the second week of the Grand Slam, and now I want to rest and to be focused on the next match."
Next up for Ferrer will be countrymate Tommy Robredo, who for the third straight match rallied from a two-set deficit. The veteran on Sunday beat fellow Spaniard Nicolas Almagro, 6-7 (5-7), 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, after also roaring back to beat Igor Sijsling in the second round and Gael Monfils in round three.
Robredo, seeded 32nd, had missed the French Open each of the last two years because of injuries and earlier in 2013 earned his first win in two years with a title at Casablanca. The former world No. 5 has matched his farthest Grand Slam run, with prior quarterfinal appearances at the French Open in 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2009, along with a round of eight result at the Australian Open in 2007.
Tsonga, the winner in Marseille earlier this year, is into the quarterfinals at his home Slam for the second straight year. The Frenchman will face the winner between countrymate Gilles Simon and Roger Federer. He lost to Federer in the Australian Open quarterfinals back in January.

|Grilled Vegetables in Foil
Don't we all just love-love-love grilled vegetables?! These are grilled in foil packets, a medley of fresh vegetables tossed in an Asian-style soy-ginger sauce. Just wonderful, this! The red cabbage is my very favorite!
No grill? You can cook them in the oven, too!
Not just vegan, Vegan Done Real.
A grill master this cook is not. Who else is happy with a giveaway grill free from the dealership when my dad upgraded vehicles awhile back?
But I've nailed vegetables cooked on the grill in foil. Many warm evenings, I toss chopped what's-on-hand vegetables into a foil packet with the slower-cook sorts on the bottom, top with garlic, dot with butter, sprinkle with salt and shake with pepper. Thirty 30 minutes later, it's supper time, no bun required.
Still, my admiration goes out to grillers who debate the merits of hardwood charcoal and briquettes, stoke their chimneys and produce great burgers, breasts and butts with such ease.
Maybe someday. Until then, here's a favorite recipe for vegetables cooked on the grill in foil, one even a professional amateur can master.
GRILLED VEGETABLES in FOIL
Time on grill: 20 – 25 minutes
Makes 5 cups, easily doubled for a crowd
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (see TIPS)
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon garlic
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger (or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper
VEGGIES (about 8 cups total)
- 2 ribs celery, 1" pieces on diagonal
- 2 carrots, 1" pieces on diagonal
- 4 ounces fresh mushrooms, washed (see TIPS) and trimmed, caps broken into pieces
- 1/2 red onion, peeled, cut in 5 pieces
- 1/2 red bell pepper, cut into 5 strips
- 1/2 head broccoli, stems peeled and cut into rounds, tops cut into florets
- 1/4 head red cabbage (my favorite!), cut in small wedges
Heat the grill. Whisk vinaigrette ingredients in a large bowl.
Wash and drain vegetables before slicing (see TIPS). Add vegetables to vinaigrette as sliced, tossing to coat. (Stop here if prepping in advance.)
Tear two foil sheets about 11x18. Divide vegetables between the sheets; fold to create packets and seal tightly. Place on grill rack for 20 – 25 minutes til vegetables are cooked but still tender crisp and colorful. Carefully open packets (they'll be hot!) and serve immediately.
How to Wrap Vegetables in Foil Packets
VEGETABLES COOKED in FOIL ARE COOKED "EN PAPILLOTE"
En papillote [pah-pee-YOHT, PAH-peh-loht] refers to food baked inside a wrapping of parchment, foil or another material. Lots of people like to cook food in foil because it's so easy. Plus, the clean-up is simple and the cooking time is short because the heat is concentrated. So I've started to collect recipes for food cooked in foil. If you have a favorite recipe that fits this style, I'd love to test it out!LEARNING to GRILL
Last week, cookbook author Steve Raichlen was in town to promote his new book, The Barbecue! Bible 10th Anniversary Edition. Is this the summer, finally, to learn how to grill? Wish me luck!MANY THANKS
Many thanks for this recipe to my cousin Diane, who's a great cook in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I am so lucky that my family so generously shares so many favorite family recipes. Thank you, all!CANADIAN RECIPES
To mark Canada Day on July 1, Canadian food bloggers are collecting Canadian recipes for Mmmm...Canada; this is my contribution. I am much proud of my Canadian heritage and appreciate that Canada bestows dual citizenship. Still, my 'Canadian' recipes are few and far between because for me, Canada isn't a foreign place, it's just family, it's just the place across the river. (My dad's house sits just across the river from Ontario: swimmable in the summer, walkable in the winter.) Canadian readers (there are a lot of you!) may be amused at the recent good-natured finger-wagging from a Canadian who took issue with the authenticity of my mother's recipe for Butter Tart Bars. Others will be moved by the OCHER-Yaya, a gathering of Canadian women, friends since the 1950s, and their daughters at my house in St. Louis just last month. More Canadian Recipes!

Indiana On-Campus M.S. in Clinical Laboratory Sciences Masters Degrees
Find local colleges offering an on-campus Masters in Clinical Laboratory Sciences on Gradschools.com. If you took a science course during your undergraduate studies and really took a liking to hands-on scientific investigation, you may be wondering if it's possible to take your love of research even further - maybe even into a professional capacity. Fortunately, clinical lab science is a well-represented field at the graduate level. The advantage of a local college campus is that you can meet and nework with other professionals interested in a Masters in Clinical Laboratory Sciences.
Clinical lab sciences graduate programs might be a great way for students to develop and hone their investigative skills, build a knowledge base to help them pursue potential career opportunities in science or medicine, or simply learn more about the inner workings of the world around them.
Common campus coursework for clinical lab sciences masters programs
While there are sure to be slight differences between programs offered by different schools and campuses, in general, there are a few basic points that the vast majority of them will have in common when it comes to curriculum and coursework. Common college course requirements in a clinical lab sciences graduate program might include:
- Research Methods
- Hematology
- Histopathology
- Immunohematology
- Diagnostics
A strong undergraduate background in math and natural sciences might serve as a huge asset for clinical lab sciences graduate students. In fact,
some local schools may even require prerequisite credits in these areas. However, other campus based schools might simply be seeking students who have a demonstrated ability to handle the rigors of a heavy academic course load regardless of field of study.
As you might expect, students who pursue studies in clinical lab sciences spend a considerable amount of
time working in a lab setting hands-on with specimens. In general, these programs tend to be lighter on writing assignments due to the stronger focus on practical learning.
Potential career opportunities for those with a Masters in Clinical Laboratory Sciences
Graduates of a local college clinical lab sciences program might choose to pursue potential career opportunities in the health care field. In fact, the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that as of 2012, roughly 50 percent of medical and clinical laboratory technologist and technician professionals worked in hospitals. Such positions garnered a BLS-reported median annual salary of $57,580 as of 2012, with job growth estimated to increase by 22 percent through 2022.
Graduates of a local university clinical lab sciences programs might also pursue potential career opportunities as medical scientists. Medical scientists might work to conduct studies investigating human diseases and preventative care, develop new medical equipment, or conduct research to ensure the safety of medications. The BLS reported a 2012 median annual salary of $76,980 for medical scientists, with estimated job growth of 13 percent through 2022.
Is a degree in clinical lab sciences right for you?
Lab science is an appealing field to many science-minded students because it balances hands-on learning in a laboratory setting with the flexibility to apply knowledge across a variety of industries. The upward projected growth of the industry means it may be a viable career option for those with an interest in health sciences who may not necessarily have an interest in enrolling in a traditional medical program.

So, You've Decided to Start a Dedicated Quake 3: Arena Server.
This guide will help you get started.
If there isn't a solution for the problem you ran into on this page, please try asking on our forums or in our live chat channel.
You will need a legitimate copy of Quake 3: Arena. It is currently only available through Steam on Windows or if you'd like it on-disc second-hand markets like Ebay may have copies.
Once you have the game downloaded, copy
pak0.pk3 to your server's
baseq3 directory.
Forward and open port
27960 on your firewall or router to the machine that will act as the dedicated ioquake3 server.
- Create a new user for your ioquake3 server to run as. You can use the command
sudo adduser ioq3srvfor example to add a new user named
- Switch to the new user
su - ioq3srv

sh start_server.sh. You can leave the screen at any time by pressing
d, and then get access to your running server again by typing
screen -drU
- You're ready to go, just type
map q3dm17in your new server's console.
We don't have instructions for running a dedicated ioquake3 server on Windows yet! Please edit this document and help us get one together.
Useful ioquake3 server console commands
- g_gametype 1
- Change the game mode after you change the map, 1 is deathmatch, 2 is one on one, 3 is team deathmatch, 4 is capture the flag.
- banaddr <range>
- ban an ip address range from joining a game on this server, valid <range> is either playernum or CIDR notation address range.
- exceptaddr <range>
- exempt an ip address range from a ban.
- bandel <range>
- delete ban (either range or ban number)
- exceptdel <range>
- delete exception (either range or exception number)
- rehashbans
- reload the banlist from serverbans.dat
- flushbans
- delete all bans
- net_restart
- restart network subsystem to change latched settings
- game_restart <fs_game>
- Switch to another mod
- kicknum <client number>
- kick a client by number, same as clientkick command
- kickall
- kick all clients, similar to "kick all" (but kicks everyone even if someone is named "all")
- kickbots
- kick all bots, similar to "kick allbots" (but kicks all bots even if someone is named "allbots")
- tell <client num> <msg>
- send message to a single client (new to server)
Using HTTP/FTP Download Support
You can enable redirected downloads on your server even if it's not an ioquake3 server. You simply need to use the 'sets' command to put the
sv_dlURL cvar into your
SERVERINFO string and ensure
sv_allowDownloads is set to
sv_dlURL is the base of the URL that contains your custom .pk3 files the client will append both fs_game and the filename to the end of this value. For example, if you have
sv_dlURL set to
fs_game is
"baseq3", and the client is missing
"test.pk3", it will attempt to download from the URL
sv_allowDownload's value is now a bitmask made up of the following flags:
4 - do not use UDP downloads
8 - do not ask the client to disconnect when using HTTP/FTP
Server operators who are concerned about potential leeching from their HTTP servers from other ioquake3 servers can make use of the
HTTP_REFERER that ioquake3 sets which is
"ioQ3://{SERVER_IP}:{SERVER_PORT}". For, example, Apache's mod_rewrite can restrict access based on
On a sidenote, downloading via UDP has been improved and yields higher data rates now. You can configure the maximum bandwidth for UDP downloads via the cvar sv_dlRate. Due to system-specific limits the download rate is capped at about 1 Mbyte/s per client, so curl downloading may still be faster.
Using Old Versions or Protocols
Sometimes we get asked to help with NoGhost or other mods that require versions of Quake 3 prior to 1.32c. Unfortunately there is no way to make mods that require old versions of Quake 3 work with ioquake3. When id software released the source code which ioquake3 is based on we only received access to the latest version at the time they stopped working on it.
Similarly, we sometimes get asked to support Punkbuster. This is closed source cheat detection software that we don't have the ability to use with ioquake3.
Network protocols
There are now two cvars that give you some degree of freedom over the reported protocol versions between clients and servers:
com_protocol and
com_legacyprotocol. The reason for this is that some standalone games increased the protocol number even though nothing really changed in their protocol and the ioquake3 engine is still fully compatible.
In order to harden the network protocol against UDP spoofing attacks a new network protocol was introduced that defends against such attacks. Unfortunately, this protocol will be incompatible to the original quake3 1.32c which is the latest official release from id. Luckily, ioquake3 has backwards compatibility, on the client as well as on the server. This means ioquake3 players can play on old servers just as ioquake3 servers are able to service old clients.
The cvar
com_protocol denotes the protocol version for the new hardened protocol, whereas the
com_legacyprotocol cvar denotes the protocol version for the legacy protocol. If the value for
com_protocol and
com_legacyprotocol is identical, then the legacy protocol is always used. If
com_legacyprotocol is set to 0, then support for the legacy protocol is disabled.
Mods that use a standalone engine obviously do not require dual protocol support, and it is turned off if the engine is compiled with STANDALONE per default. If you desire backwards compatibility to older versions of your game you can still enable it in q_shared.h by defining LEGACY_PROTOCOL.
cl_guid Support
cl_guid is a cvar which is part of the client's USERINFO string. Its value is a 32 character string made up of [a-f] and [0-9] characters. This value is pseudo-unique for every player. id's Quake 3 Arena client also sets
cl_guid, but only if Punkbuster is enabled on the client.
cl_guidServerUniq is non-zero (the default), then this value is also pseudo-unique for each server a client connects to (based on IP:PORT of the server).
The purpose of
cl_guid is to add an identifier for each player on a server. This value can be reset by the client at any time so it's not useful for blocking access. However, it can have at least two uses in a mod's game code:
- improve logging to allow statistical tools to index players by more than just name
- granting some weak admin rights to players without requiring passwords

Take a good look at the chart above.
It\'s a picture of investors going crazy for Spanish government bonds in a low-interest rate, loose monetary-policy environment in Europe. But buyer beware — analysts warn that the rally in peripheral Europe\'s sovereign bonds could come to an abrupt end if the region\'s sluggish growth rates and worringly low inflation levels don\'t pick up.
For the first time since April 2010, the yield on 10-year Spanish bonds on Monday fell below the borrowing costs of 10-year U.S. notes 10_year as part of a wider rally for European assets. Spain\'s 10-year yield slipped to 2.556%, inching below the 2.623% recorded for the U.S. counterpart, according to Tradeweb data.
Not only is this a major improvement from Spain\'s plus-7% yields from the height of the euro-zone crisis in 2012, but the current trading level is also a fresh multi-century all-time low, according to Deutsche Bank.
And Spain isn\'t the only euro-zone nation to see its borrowing costs comfortably decline. Irish 10-year borrowing costs fell to a record low of 2.39% on Monday as well, while Italy\'s yield on 10-year bonds are around the lowest level since 1945, according to Deutsche Bank.
\"If anyone is in any doubt how extraordinary this period is in economic history then please take a look,\" said Deutsche Bank\'s Jim Reid in a note on Monday morning.
And yes the charts are quite startling. But the bond frenzy isn\'t necessarily a reflection of a strong recovery in those countries.
Rates strategist at Monument Securities, Marc Ostwald, argued in a note that the move into perceived riskier countries more has to do with a \"reach for yield\", than with the actual creditworthiness of the nation. He explained that the current bond rally is based on banks piling into the front end of the yield curve, instead of depositing money at the negative rates at the ECB.
Additionally, this low interest-rate environment also leads to more outflows from money-market funds. Eventually, the search for returns and the cash from money-market assets drive yields to less attractive levels, and long-term bond fund investors are forced up the yield curve and into more attractive-looking options such as Spain, Italy and Portugal, rather than the 1.33%-yielding German 10-year bund , Ostwald explained.
\"As I have written many times this year, this is not an investment strategy, but a job preservation strategy, because if these guys resist and bemoan poor credit quality, they will underperform their peers,\" he said in a note. \"In the long run this is the road to the next crisis and ruination.\"
Phil Tyson, market strategist at ICAP, was also cautious of the longer-term performance of the European bonds, but said that the current rally still has more upside.
\"I think that the bond market could go higher in the short term as the search for yield continues in an environment where ECB rate expectations are anchored with forward guidance having been strengthened,\" he explained.
Looking toward the second half of the year, however, Tyson warned that borrowing costs are unlikely to remain at the multi-century lows. When investors start to realize the economic recovery — even after ECB\'s aggressive stimulus measures — is not matching expectations and deflation risks are not abating, a move out of the perceived riskier southern European assets can be expected.
\"Ultimately that is not a great environment for peripheral bonds,\" he said. \"It could start undermining sentiment and put [upward] pressure on yields.\"

Food for Thought:
Good Food for Studying
by SLAC
Does your all-night studying include all-night snacking? Do you keep your brain and body going by working your way through packages of Oreos, bags of hot Cheetos, Dr Peppers, Red Bulls, and a thick-crust pepperoni pizza . . . one chapter at a time? Do you overeat to cope with the stress of last-minute studying?
Filling up with junk food can actually sabotage your efforts to prepare for final exams. Foods with high sugar content (cookies, cakes, candies, pies, sodas, energy drinks, etc.) can cause your blood sugar level to spike and then crash, which can spell catastrophe for the clear thinking and mental energy required to tackle finals. Students following this "cramming menu" have also been known to fall asleep ― right through their finals. No kidding! Add those bottomless cups of caffeine to this Hell's Kitchen menu, and you may "jitter" yourself out of a good performance no matter how long you have studied. Big meals and high fat foods make your body work hard at digesting and can make you feel tired and lazy. When your blood sugar level spikes and drops, it can also leave you with a serious headache and fuel your anxiety instead of your brainpower.
What's a late-night cramming student to do?
- Eat small, light meals that are high in protein, low in fat, and include whole grains.
- Skip the 3Cs (cookies, cakes, candies).
- Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. If you do drink coffee or sodas, try to alternate those beverages with water.
- Take breaks and go for a walk instead of grabbing another package of Twinkies.
- Some nutritionists suggest eating something small about 10 minutes before a test to give you a sustained energy boost: a banana or an orange, a bowl of granola, or nuts and raisins. These foods will be digested slowly enough to give you brain power that actually keeps you going!

Who was the one night stand from last night? Why is she having such strange flash backs? Set in a dark strange future, where things are just a little too perfect, follow Alice as she uncovers a trail of clues and mis-adventures that blur the line between reality and lies.


text: We all know that being bombarded with skeletal children 24/7 does a number on the female psyche, but now it turns out that they're not doing much for men's self-esteem, either. Researchers report that all these images of unrealistic women make guys feel bad about themselves — because they think they're not attractive enough to appeal to them.Whereas women are affected more adversely by same-sex images, men weren't bothered by the pics of strapping beefcakes they were shown. Rather, "the cultural expectation for men is not that they have to be as attractive as their peers, but that they need to be attractive enough to be sexually appealing to women." Hence, the men who were given magazines full of pictures of "idealized" women who were "out of their league" unsurprisingly ended up feeling less than great about their own bodies by the end of the study. As Professor Jennifer Aubrey notes, "the exposure to objectified females increased self-consciousness because men are reminded that in order to be sexually or romantically involved with a woman of similar attractiveness, they need to conform to strict appearance standards." We're guessing men aren't devoting a lot of conscious thought to this, which already makes the phenomenon somewhat less severe. But even so, it does beg a question: Models make women feel bad. They make men feel bad. So who exactly are they supposed to be appealing to? Surprisingly, Female Models Have Negative Effect On Men [PhysOrg]

OTTAWA - The CBC's booster club is launching a new campaign to get the state broadcaster more money.
Friends of Canadian Broadcasting produced two spoof spots -- dubbed Stop the CBC Smackdown -- portraying the worst case scenario for CBC connoisseurs: The corporation sold to a professional wrestling promoter. And, he's American.
In this imagined hell, the broadcaster is staffed with beauties and burly men: The wrestlers voice radio ads whilst the ring girls help deliver the weather.
All of the wrestlers in the videos are portrayed more than stupid, and that's not sitting well with a Canadian legend.
"They are always portrayed imbeciles, dimwits with no brains at all, and that's a disappointment, because a lot of us out there like Jesse Ventura, Mick Foley, Shawn Michaels and myself who are quite well-read, intelligent people," Bret 'The Hitman' Hart told QMI Agency. "We are some of the hardest working actors and athletes in the world. Nobody has a schedule like wrestlers, and with CBC, someone like Vince McMahon might be the answer to their prayers, they might start making some money."
Hart won't put the group's spokesman in a sharpshooter -- Hart's finishing move in the ring -- but he would appreciate some recognition wrestling is a major part of Canadian culture.
When asked if wrestling and car ads were selected as the worst case scenario because Friends of Canadian Broadcasting thinks they are low-brow or stupid, spokesman Ian Morrison demurred, saying they picked the theme because it was funny.
The group also released a poll that shows 69% want funding CBC funding to remain the same or increase. In the poll question, they broke the costs down to a per capita basis -- so the amount is $33 per Canadian man woman and child per year -- instead of using the total of $1.1 billion.
"They'd have to know how to multiply 33 by 34 to reach one point one, many people can do that," Morrison said.
When the funding is billed only to those 18,329,587 Canadians who actually pay taxes every year, the cost is about $60 per payer.

Gas Driller Ends Work In Two NE Pa. Counties
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (AP) – A natural gas driller has ended operations in two northeastern Pennsylvania counties after the company deemed them unlikely to produce commercially viable wells.
Encana Oil and Gas had drilled two exploratory wells in Luzerne County but announced Thursday it was stopping operations there and in neighboring Columbia County.
Encana and partner company Whitmar Exploration were the only companies trying to tap the lucrative Marcellus Shale formation in Luzerne County, where they'd leased more than 25,000 acres.

To volunteer for Community Fruit Rescue
If you have a tree, or want to help harvest: Go to fruitrescue.org.
You've seen the apple trees starting to groan under the weight of their fruit, ripening and ready to be picked — or perhaps simply fall to the ground to rot.
It won't be wasted if Community Fruit Rescue has any say in the matter.
Boulder Food Rescue, which has pedaled surplus grocery stock to the needy for three years, is now teaming with two other nonprofit organizations, under the banner of Community Fruit Rescue, to harvest locally grown fruit that might otherwise be wasted and get it to people for whom it could make the difference between healthy eating and hunger.
"Boulder already has an immense amount of fruit trees all around, and a lot of it ends up just falling down and rotting or people don't want to pick (from) their tree," said Hana Dansky, executive director of Boulder Food Rescue, which marks its third anniversary this year.
"And fruit is not only a local food, but it's a nutritious food. We're really interested in getting food, healthy food, to people who can't traditionally access it."
Bridge House, Emergency Family Assistance Association and Boulder Housing Partners are among the organizations whose clients are expected to be recipients of the fruit rescue's bounty, to be distributed — as Boulder Food Rescue traditionally operates — by bicycle.
Community Fruit Rescue's other partners, in addition to Boulder Food Rescue, are nonprofits 350 Colorado and Falling Fruit. Credit for being the impetus behind the initiative is going to Falling Fruit, the Boulder-based effort to complete the world's most comprehensive map of urban edibles.
Falling Fruit's co-founders are Ethan Welty, of Boulder, and Caleb Phillips, who is moving back to Boulder this weekend after two years in the Bay Area.
"There are a lot of other examples of this. Successful programs in other cities have inspired us to create one in Boulder," said Phillips, citing Santa Cruz, California, Portland, Oregon, and Atlanta as among the pioneers for the concept. "We've been a little disappointed that one doesn't exist in Boulder."
Although the peak is already past for cherries and mulberries, Phillips said, for pears and apples it's prime time.
"That's what we're going to be focused on in the next month."
Boulder resident Micah Parkin, executive director of 350 Colorado, a nonprofit focused on building a movement to address climate change, sees the fruit rescue as consistent with her work in the ad hoc group Making Local Food Work.
"We're really excited about this particular project because it's a way to meet many of our goals at once — building a stronger sense of community, promoting eating locally and reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with bringing food in from halfway around the world," Parkin said.
The potential benefits go on, she said, including the fact that preventing an accumulation of rotting and wasted fruit on the ground also removes an attraction for bears, whose presence in the city has created increasing problems in recent years.
"We feel like it's a win-win all the way around, and we're so proud to be part of it," Parkin said.
Volunteers are needed — people who have trees they would like to see harvested, as well as those ready to do the work of getting out there to collect this season's yield.
Of the fruit that is harvested, one-third will go the property owner where the tree is located — if they want it — one-third will go to the volunteers who picked it, and the rest to one of the organizations that Community Fruit Rescue is supporting.
For now, Welty said the fruit rescue is trying to limit its geographic scope to the city of Boulder.
"I would love to be reaching those areas (outside the city) by next year, for example," Welty said. Then, laughing, he said, "If someone has an avocado tree that's fruiting that's maybe outside of Boulder, I'll make an exception."
The Community Fruit Rescue concept is applauded by Betsey Martens, executive director of Boulder Housing Partners. She wrote the original grant for Community Food Share in 1981.
"It's so essential, and what a lot of people don't understand about being elderly or disabled or being on a low income, many are not eating two meals a day," Martens said.
"It is programs like this that are making the difference for some people between maintaining a healthy life and not living a healthy life," she added.

The swell was building, having dropped off after the BongofbillsPro. The water was noticibly colder today but still fine in a 3/2. I got worked by a wave after about 20 minutes and my back started blocking and twinging - otherwise I'd have stayed in longer.
The waves were big on the sets but happily were quite catchabale at the Point. Had 4 long rides down past the beach and onto the next section (150m-200m+).... and did a rare thing for me.... stopped the session on a great wave - didn't do that usual kak of paddling back out for 'one last wave'....
Forecast sites showed it being 12ft - which made for nice waves at Point and some pretty hectic rides at Supers (not me ;-). The next day showed the forecast of 21ft swell..... happy that I was about 900km inland by then.

OverviewThe Nautical Archaeology Society (NAS) is an international organization dedicated to advancing education in nautical archaeology at all levels and to encouraging the participation of members of the public at all stages. The NAS International Training Program has been delivering courses in nautical archaeology for over 25 years. The program aims to provide not just an introduction to the subject but also to offer people a chance to build their skills and experience, allowing them to take part in projects and fieldwork around the world and perhaps to run their own projects. The Training Program has a modular structure, starting with an Introduction Course and working through the Part I to III Certificates and finally Part IV Diploma.
IntroductionThe first stage of the NAS Training Program, the Introduction Course, is a weekend of training introducing participants to the subject of nautical archaeology. Combining a mixture of classroom and practical sessions, the course aims to promote nautical archaeology to those interested in learning about concepts and basic methods in underwater archaeology. The introduction course requires no prior learning or qualifications and the program offers presentations in a wide range of topics and subject areas within nautical archaeology. It will involve instructors who are ECU university professors for the Program in Maritime Studies and leading underwater archaeologists who direct projects and manage underwater cultural resources in North Carolina.

HMRC apologises for slip in contact centre service
HMRC has apologised after callers were unable to get through to call centres in the days following the Easter weekend, blaming 'extremely high levels of calls' from taxpayers.
It explained the slippage was largely caused by a surge in unexpected calls following a HMRC invitation to query the need to complete self-assessment tax returns.
Scheduled downtime for online VAT returns between the 8 and 11 April may also have contributed to the large number of calls, which will have affected telephone queries from individuals and accountants.
HMRC said: "Being able to get through to our contact centres quickly and with the minimum of delay is central to the quality of service to which we are committed. We are aware that over the last few days the steady improvement in contact centre service since 2010 has slipped. We are determined to reverse that."
350 extra staff were moved across from other duties in HMRC to man telephones in contact centres whilst some callers were left waiting in queues. It also asked all self-assessment trained staff to focus on related calls, moving managers and trainers onto contact centre services also.
HMRC has asked taxpayers with any non-urgent enquiries to defer their call until next week when they are 'confident' the above measures will have resumed normal service.
HMRC responded to Treasury Committee recommendations in September last year in a bid to improve the end-to-end experience for clients, committing to identify the root cause of agent's frustration with telephone services and work together on solutions.
Since the 2005 merger between the Inland Revenue and HMRC, the Treasury Committee report found that the department's total budget had reduced by 14 per cent, with further budget and job cuts planned for the future.

NAWM Board Hosts Wabash Facultyby Tom Runge • May 16, 2006 Share:
The board of directors of the National Association of Wabash Men, our alumni association, hosted an informal reception and dinner for Wabash's faculty on Friday, May 12, 2006. The events were part of the board's annual meetings on campus during Commencement weekend.
According to the board's president, Jay Fisher '66: "One of the NAWM board's foci under the College Strategic Plan is to explore and develop ways in which alumni may be a more positive asset to the faculty in the education process for Wabash students. This event was an effort to informally meet and develop ideas together which ideas can mature and then be made into action plans for alumni to be involved in ways the faculty might desire. The Board members are very pleased with the faculty response and participation and look forward to an active collaboration to the ultimate benefit of the Wabash student."

subordinating conjunctions and dependent markers
There really is no reason to favor one name for this class of words over another. I think the general trend is toward"dependent markers" just for the sake of clarity. "Dependent markers" create dependent clauses, just as independent markers lead to independent clauses. Though probably more technically correct, calling these two classes of words"subordinating conjunctions" and "conjunctive adverbs" (respectively) does not express their function in a sentence as concretely. Though I can't pinpoint the source of the terms "independent and dependent markers," I imagine they were implemented as a teaching tool and have since caught on.

Hi Brady, Owls and (other)Possums
I'm not quite clear about these terms. How might we see these in academic writing?
As my primary school teacher used to say - could you put these in a sentence?

I agree that the term 'dependent marker' is a little bit easier to understand than 'subordinating conjunction'. Of course, the term 'subordinating conjunctions' is useful if you're discussing the corollary, that is, 'coordinating conjunctions'. However, in general, when working with (mainly EAL) students, I avoid using either term.
Most students know that a conjunction is a joining word. Therefore, when assisting students with their writing you can explore how conjunctions operate in sentences for example, to join two dependent clauses/sentences or to join a main clause/sentence to a dependent clause (i. e. one that cannot stand alone and still make sense).
What do students out there in grammarland think?

Part of the reason I posted this is because I am interested in finding ways to talk about grammar that are less intimidating to students and teachers alike yet still accurate. I think it is fair to say that during the past twenty years, we in the US have more or less forgotten about how to talk about grammar. The standard reply to any grammar question seems to be: "Well, I just know/feel it's right, but I can't explain why." I am interested in thinking about new or different ways of bringing students and teachers back into the discourse about grammar. Is there a better way, such as Virginia's example of starting with conjunctions as joining words, to talk about these terms that makes more sense and will hopefully be more useful?
In the context of academic writing, one could argue that it is not necessary to know the difference between dependent markers (although, because, since) and independent markers (however, therefore, consequently). But is it still possible to talk effectively about the argumentation of a paper without looking at the transition words between the various points? For example, while the word "therefore" highlights a conclusion drawn from the previous sentence or argument, the word "because" provides evidence for that previous argument. A little grammar knowledge may go a long way toward shoring up the argumentation structure of a paper.

Before 1919 Retro Candy
Items 1-15 of 143
Before tropical flavors and gourmet chocolate bars there was penny candy, the classic treats enjoyed by generations before ours. First purchased over wooden counters at general stores one hundred years ago or more, old-fashioned candy like Mary Janes, Peppermint Puffs, Rock Candy, Tootsie Rolls, and Juicy Fruit Gum still please taste buds of all ages.
Thanks to their timeless appeal, the candy selections below are great for gift-giving. Saltwater Taffy and Jordan Almonds make tasteful, colorful hostess gifts. As get-well gifts or just for fun, hard-to-find retro candies like Goo Goo Clusters, Good & Plenty, and Nik L Nips Wax Bottles will make anyone's day.
Want more retro nostalgia? Add some Cracker Jack to your basket. Cracker Jacks, which debuted at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, quickly became synonymous with a day of fun at the ball park (and who doesn't love the surprise in every box?).
Whichever you choose, these favorites from the "golden age" of American candy will shine in any candy jar. As one of the oldest wholesale candy companies in the nation, we've been selling many of these treats since long before they were considered "retro" candy.
