Virtualizing the hard stuff
Critical apps and databases
Live Now At 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern, we have a live one-hour webcast that will be looking at just how you virtualize the critical apps in your business.
As ever, the event is fronted by Reg supremo Tim Phillips. He'll be joined by Dan Olds from Gabriel Consulting and some system design/tech gurus from VMware and Baker Hull, and IBM's Bob Zuber. The four of them will be exploring all of the key challenges and potential solutions for virtualizing critical apps across your business. This will include:
- Larger apps (like transactional or BI databases) that require vertical scalability and can sometimes under-perform in virtualized environments.
- Configuring the host systems to handle the absolute peaks. If they can be placed in virtualized environments, then the slack space on these systems can be used for other workloads – providing savings for customers.
- Why certain apps present a problem – both because of technical attributes and on the business side (they need to be able to provide predictable performance).
For any of you that are embarking on this journey, or even just thinking about it, we believe this should be just what you need to help with a successful roll-out. Interested? We thought so. You can register for the event right here.
If you can't make it on the day we'll be making the entire event available in its recorded format shortly after. If you register today, we'll email you when that's available. ®

When DS told me, I was in tears. I can't stand the thought of that.
We don't know what to do about this. I'm still brokenhearted. DH is so angry I'm worried about him. He says we shouldn't bow down to the whims of a petty little man with his priorities so out of whack. And frankly, we're both alarmed by the fact that he apparently spends so much time watching our home!
Well there's your problem: You care what this idiot thinks.

You're right; I do care. I've come a long way from the days when I constantly worried about what people thought of me, but I didn't want to raise my boys in this kind of atmosphere. That's what bothers me, I guess. I adored my neighbors when I was little.

Now the above code display arabic as it should be doing, when i try the same approach using Yii application, it shows some weird characters. I have added the character set information in /layout/main.php but no use.
I would love to hear a solution ,

Changing Your Name
-007lewa (I started out with this, #noob)
-Kermit the Pyro
-Voltex (although this has been added on, making my official moniker "iBrow Voltex")
Every other name change involves "ibrow" in some fasion, or a variant of it ("iBrony"... ugh, honestly, what was I thinking? Worst. Name change. Ever.)
And the main reason is that I just find it really hard to adjust. It doesn't feel quite right to look up at my display name or see it in the blogs or on posts and not read "ibrow" there. It's like if I was to start calling myself Steve in real life. I'm not Steve, I'm me.
But even worse is when everyone starts calling me by the new name. It doesn't actually bother me, so much as it just takes getting used to being referred to by a name completely different from what I'm used to. I particularly noticed this last year with the "Kermit the Pyro" name change - good lord, it must've taken me almost a week to get used to that. Granted, with that one I was being called a million different nicknames for the display name at the same time.
Anyway, those are just some rambling thoughts I had. I don't actually regret any of the name changes that don't involve "ibrow" in them, because I can look back and be all like "oh cool unique name changes for me what up". But there are of course some name changes I do regret, which I shall list here now to finish this entry off:
-iBrony (I thought it would be a really neat combination of "ibrow" and "brony", but in the end, ugh, it just doesn't work out at all.)
-iBrow Hearts Rarity (spur of the moment name change... however, I wasn't very active for the first week and then I was gone for an entire month, so I thankfully didn't have to put up with it for very long.)
Anyway bye now

Results of NIH-sponsored Clinical Trial to be Presented at Retrovirus Conference
LEXINGTON, Mass., Feb. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Indevus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDEV) announced today that a National Institutes of Health (NIH)-sponsored clinical study found that participating women who received PRO 2000, the Company's candidate vaginal microbicide for HIV prevention, had an approximately 30% lower risk of acquiring HIV infection than women who received a placebo or no vaginal product. All women participating in the study were offered free condoms and safer-sex counseling. This is the first trial to suggest any microbicide may prevent male-to-female sexual transmission of HIV although the beneficial effect did not reach statistical significance. The results will be presented today at the 16th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Montreal.
"We are extremely excited with the results of this trial," stated Glenn L. Cooper, M.D., chairman and chief executive officer of Indevus. "Though not conclusive, these results provide encouragement that PRO 2000 may offer a female-controlled method that can be used to protect against the sexual transmission of HIV.
"In addition to the HPTN 035 trial, we are awaiting results from the MRC-sponsored trial which will provide data on nearly 10,000 women," continued Dr. Cooper. "These results should be available by the end of 2009."
The HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) 035 trial was a multi-national, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to assess the safety and effectiveness of PRO 2000 and another investigational vaginal microbicide (BufferGel(R), ReProtect, Inc.) in preventing HIV infection in women. The trial was sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a component of the NIH, and conducted by the NIH-funded Microbicide Trials Network (MTN) at seven clinical centers in Malawi, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Zambia, and the United States.
The trial was initiated in February 2005 and enrolled approximately 3,100 eligible, HIV-uninfected women, all of whom provided written informed consent. Enrolled participants were randomly assigned to one of four arms: PRO 2000 gel (0.5% strength), BufferGel, a placebo gel, or no gel. Women enrolled in the three gel arms were asked to apply the assigned study product vaginally up to one hour before each act of sexual intercourse. The gel arms were double-blinded so that neither the participant nor the study staff knew the identity of the assigned study product. Women in all four arms received a standard-of-care HIV prevention package, which included free male condoms, risk-reduction counseling, and treatment of sexually transmitted infections. Participants were followed for 12-30 months (20 months on average), depending on when they entered the study.
A total of 194 new HIV infections occurred among study participants over the course of the trial. Of these, 36 occurred in the PRO 2000 arm, 54 in the BufferGel arm, 51 in the placebo arm, and 53 in the no-gel arm. Based on these data, PRO 2000 was 30 percent effective (approximately 33 percent effectiveness would have been considered statistically significant). The adverse event profile was similar in all four arms, indicating that 0.5% PRO 2000 is safe for vaginal use. A full analysis of the trial data is underway.
The study was conducted in communities where the background rate of HIV infection is high. Participants who became infected with HIV during the trial were referred to local HIV care and support services. Where possible, infected participants were invited to participate in Microbicide Trials Network (MTN) 015, a clinical study examining the nature of HIV progression and treatment response in HIV-positive women who had been using a topical microbicide or oral antiretrovirals as an HIV preventive measure when they acquired HIV infection.
A second large trial testing the safety and effectiveness of the 0.5% dose of PRO 2000 is currently underway. This trial is being sponsored by the United Kingdom's Medical Research Council (MRC) and conducted by the Microbicides Development Programme (MDP), an international partnership of researchers established to develop microbicides for the prevention of HIV transmission. Study MDP 301 is a multi-national, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III trial designed to examine the safety and effectiveness of PRO 2000 in preventing HIV infection in women. As in the HPTN 035 trial, all participants receive free condoms, risk-reduction counseling, and treatment for sexually transmitted infections. Approximately 9,400 women have been enrolled at study sites in South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. The trial is expected to be completed during the summer of 2009.
Should PRO 2000 be shown conclusively to be safe and effective, Indevus intends to seek worldwide marketing approvals, and plans to work with government agencies and other organizations to help ensure affordable access to the product in resource-limited settings where the need is greatest.
According to statistics from UNAIDS and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly half of the 33 million people living with HIV/AIDS worldwide are women. Most HIV infections in women are due to heterosexual intercourse. Moreover, women are twice as likely as their male partners to acquire HIV during sex, due in part to biological factors that make women more vulnerable. Although correct and consistent use of male condoms has been shown to prevent HIV infection, women often cannot negotiate condom use with their male partners. A safe and effective vaginal microbicide could offer a readily available approach for many women who cannot simply rely on condoms or abstinence as methods for protecting themselves from HIV. Even a partially effective microbicide could have a profound impact on the dynamics of HIV transmission. According to mathematical modeling conducted by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, 2.5 million HIV infections could be averted over three years if a microbicide with 60 percent effectiveness were used in 73 low-income countries.

Vaginally applied PRO 2000 has been found to afford protection in mouse models for genital herpes infection and gonorrhea, and in a simian model for vaginal HIV infection. Prior to initiation of the HPTN 035 trial, PRO 2000 had undergone extensive safety testing in several clinical trials involving women and men in the United States, Europe, Africa and India.

Providence College's Kevin Rooney of Canton has always been productive when he's had a chance to play at TD Garden. He hopes to continue that trend in this weekend's Hockey East Tournament at the Garden.
BOSTON – A look at the most basic, current statistics suggests that Kevin Rooney is in a scoring slump.
A more detailed look reveals that the Providence College sophomore from Canton takes a scoring streak into tonight's Hockey East semifinal against New Hampshire (8, NESN Plus).
Rooney has had some of the biggest nights of his career on the biggest stage he ever gets to play on – TD Garden.
He had an assist there as a Canton High sophomore in 2009 when the Bulldogs lost the Div. 2 State Championship game in overtime to Newburyport. In a rematch one year later, Rooney sealed a 4-2 victory with an empty-net goal after picking up an assist earlier in the game.
And last year, in his third Garden appearance and the 29th and final game of his freshman season as a Friar, Rooney scored PC's only goal in a season-ending, 2-1 loss to UMass-Lowell in the Hockey East semis.
"I like playing in big games," he said after PC practiced at the Garden on Thursday afternoon. "I can easily get up for them. I've had some success here in the past; hopefully I can continue that (tonight)."
Today's first semifinal (5 p.m., NESN) pits UMass-Lowell (23-10-4 overall, 11-6-3 Hockey East) against first-year league member Notre Dame (23-13-2, 9-9-2). Last weekend the Fighting Irish ousted regular-season champion Boston College (26-7-4, 16-2-2) in a three-game quarterfinal, keeping the Eagles out of the semis for the first time since 2004.
The Friars (21-9-6, 11-7-2) are making a return trip and want to stay in town one night longer than last year. They've won the Hockey East tournament only twice – in the conference's inaugural season of 1985 when Rooney's uncle Joe Rooney scored in double-overtime to beat BC, 2-1, and in 1996.
Given his past success at the Garden, it's not unfathomable to think Kevin Rooney might score a big goal against UNH (21-17-1, 11-9-0). That's not the 6-1, 190-pounder's primary purpose, though. As PC's fourth-line center and a penalty-killer, he's coming off a two-goal, six-point campaign, and hasn't scored a point in his last 12 games.
The production numbers are a far cry from Rooney's days at Canton High (where older brother Bryan, who just concluded his senior season at Stonehill, was a teammate), or at the Berkshire School, where Rooney put up 27 goals and 58 points over two seasons before reaching Providence.
He's OK with that.
"It's a different role than I had when I was younger," he said. "I'd never really played it before. But I started playing a more grinding game last year because that's what I had to do to get into the lineup. This year, I embraced it, really took it on."
In the eyes of third-year coach Nate Leaman, Rooney – who missed the first three games of the season while recovering from an offseason hand injury – has done just what the Friars have needed.
"Kevin's played a real good role for us this year," Leaman said. "He's been one of our better penalty-killers and, since he's 6-1 and skates really well, he can play physical. He brings a lot to the table."
Regardless of this weekend's outcome, there's a good chance that Providence will be among the 16 teams named to the NCAA tournament on Sunday. Rooney and his teammates, who split two regular-season games with UNH in November, would rather have something to do while they wait – like play in Saturday's Hockey East final (7 p.m., NESN).
"I think last year was kind of a happy-to-be-here kind of thing," Rooney said. "This year our expectations are higher. We think we can win it.
"This is my fourth time playing here – it's unbelievable. I've been on some great hockey teams. I've been lucky to have great coaches and great teammates. Hopefully I can play my fifth (game) here (Saturday) night."

RICHMOND, Ky. – The Eastern Kentucky University men's basketball team led from start to finish in an 84-73 victory over North Carolina A&T Wednesday evening in McBrayer Arena. Senior Marcus Lewis paced the Colonels with a career-best 20 points.
EKU (8-4) has now won 21 consecutive home non-conference games, equaling a program record set back in 1980.
The Colonels scored the first seven points and never looked back against North Carolina A&T (3-8). Eastern quickly built a 20-point cushion, 34-14, following junior Corey Walden's layup. EKU shot a blistering 63 percent (17-of-27) in the first 20 minutes, its best shooting half against a Division I opponent this season, to take a commanding lead into intermission, 44-26.
North Carolina A&T would not go away, though, as the Aggies slowly climbed back into the contest. The visitors cut the deficit to just eight points on several occasions in the final four minutes, but Lewis would seal the win with a three-pointer from the wing with 1:13 remaining to make the score, 83-72.
Lewis hit 7-of-12 (58.3 percent) shots from the floor, including a trio of three-pointers. The guard also added a personal-high five assists. Fellow senior Glenn Cosey chipped in with 19 tallies while Walden finished with 10 points. Eight Colonels netted a three-pointer in the win, the most in a game this season.
Eastern forced 19 A&T turnovers which led to 26 points. On the flip side, the Colonels turned the ball over just nine times.
North Carolina A&T's Bruce Beckford and Lamont Middleton led the Aggie rally with 21 points apiece. The duo combined for 36 points in the second half.
The two teams also met last season with the Aggies picking up a 78-67 win and later advancing to the NCAA tournament.
The Colonels will now take a week off from game action to enjoy the holidays before returning to action at IPFW on Sunday, Dec. 29.
With the win, the Colonels tied the program record with their 21st straight home non-conference victory. Eastern also won 21 straight between the 1977-78 and 1980-81 seasons.

I've used my mac as a testing server running php and mysql for years, but for a number of reasons I want to change that now. Among them is the fact that I've never been able to get sendmail and imagemagick working on it (there are several other reasons too... The poor old girl's about 7 years old and struggling a bit!).
I have an old(ish) PC that I want to set up as a linux file, web and media server. Does anyone know of a distro that I can install that will just have LAMP up and running with sendmail and imagemagick already setup?
I'm fairly familiar with the ubuntu range of distro's and would prefer that, but I have also used a few others in my time...
would appreciate any help!

The lights are on
This is the place to hang out with Christians who love gaming. If you are a Christian or an open-minded individual I encourage you to join and stay a while.
As a Christian group we have our own set of rules and they are
1: No swearing.
2: Don't be judgmental towards people's opinion or other people's viewpoints.
3: I have nothing against jokes I love them, but I don't want to hear any jokes about sex, rape, or anything racial.
4: No spamming. This turns people off toward the group. I don't come here to read advertisements
5: No destructive debates or putting other people down.
I believe that's it, if there is anything I forgot to mention please let me know. Thank you and enjoy the group!
oh yeah you should add "no destructive debates" and that no one should reply to any obvious trolls..:)
Stand bold, Stand strong!
I think the latter thing you said is obvious lol
That looks pretty good for now. We can always add more rules as needed.
I dunno about kicked out but I can delete their posts. I'll see what I can do.
This IS a christain group so this stuff should be understood.
You would think but they're some atheists out there wanting to bash this group.
lets just all be very careful with our comments. Do not respond to any Anti-Christian comments should be a rule. Things like "GOD does not exist"
We can mention all games though right?
Alright I didn't know if like M games were band and can't be talked about.
You can talk about mature rated games just don't talk about the crap in a mature rated game.
Gotcha :)

PRINCETON - Sophomore utility player Kayla Shimoda was named Ivy League Player of the Week on Tuesday, March 12, after going a perfect 5-for-5 from the plate in a doubleheader at Rider on Sunday.
Shimoda recorded a hit in each of her three appearances at the plate in game one and nearly single-handedly produced the first run of the contest. She led off the second inning with a base-hit, moved to second after forcing an errant pickoff throw to first base, advanced to third on a ground out before scoring on a wild pitch.
In game two, Shimoda went 2-for-2 and drove in two of the Lions' three runs.
The Aiea, Hawai'i native, is the first Columbia player to be named conference Player of the Week since Maggie Johnson '11CC earned the distinction on Apr. 6, 2010.

BLOOMFIELD � The right side of the body and uniform of Killingly sophomore back Hailey Beaupre provided evidence of her efforts.
The mud was caked on Beaupre�s right side. It was the result of her having saved the Redgals� field hockey team on Thursday. Not once, but twice, she dived to the ground in front of the cage and stopping a shot just before it crossed the goal line.
�We put it all out there, you couldn�t ask for more,� Beaupre said. �This team has been through so much. We�re such a close team and we wouldn�t be here without each other. I wouldn�t trade these girls for the world. We gave it our all.�
Still sitting on a chair despite rain pouring down upon her, sophomore Teagan Waggoner wouldn�t leave the sidelines despite a large knot on her forehead after she was hit by a ball late in the second half. On the bench, junior Jessica Perreault was helped back to the bus after taking a ball hard on her right ankle.
It took those kind of efforts and risks for Killingly to make it to a Class S state quarterfinal game for the first time in more than 20 years, and even that wasn�t enough to get the Redgals into the semifinals. No. 12 Killingly took No. 4 Northwest Catholic to three overtimes, but lost when Lauren Cenci finally found the back of the cage just 1 minute, 20 seconds into the third overtime to give Northwest Catholic a 2-1 win at St. Thomas Seminary in Bloomfield.
�I am the most proud of this team,� Killingly coach Souki Syharat said. �I�ve been coaching for 10 years and there�s nothing about them that I don�t like. They�re a young team that has worked together unselfishly with good chemistry. Because of that, we�ve been able to be this successful this season.�
Exciting season
Despite the quarterfinal loss, Killingly (11-6-1) accomplished plenty this season. It finished second overall in the Eastern Connecticut Conference and handed Stonington a rare league loss.
�It�s only the second time we have come this far in the program�s history, so just to get this far is an honor,� Beaupre said. �To go on would have been really great, but just to get to this point is really amazing.�
Killingly jumped on top early when Alyssa Rainey got her stick on the ball just inside midfield less than 10 minutes into the game and the rain-slicked grass allowed it to slide all the way inside the 18-yard box. Waggoner took it from there and redirected it past Indians� keeper Christina Wilson.
�We have a lot of chemistry up top,� Rainey said. �It�s kind of like the same pattern. We always cross it, either to the right or in and it�s usually either Teagan or (Madison Weaver) there to skip it into the goal. It�s definitely teamwork.�
It was part of an early flurry by the Redgals that they couldn�t repeat. Killingly had three first-half shots and only four over the remaining 50-plus minutes.
�We had to dig in, because they had us on the move,� Northwest Catholic coach Bill Mullady said. �We came back after that and just tried to match up defensively.�
Goal disallowed
Rainey nearly gave Killingly a second goal in the second half. The ball went in, but the goal was disallowed because she shot it from outside the 18 and no one else touched the ball.
The Indians (15-2-1) had to work for the tying goal with Beaupre making the two slide saves and a nice steal in front of the goal. But with 9:34 in regulation, the Indians got it when Madison Mortillaro got a stick on the ball off a corner and sent it in from 16 yards out.
The two teams then battled through the wet, cold and windy conditions for another 20-minutes plus before Cenci ended it with a goal off a feed from Mortillaro.
�I was just in the right place at the right time I guess,� Cenci said. �Maddy is very good at setting people up. I just hit it with my stick and the rest is a blur.�
Young team
With only three seniors on the roster, it may be just the beginning for the Redgals.
�They have to work and stick together, re-focus and set a new goal,� Syharat said. �This year�s goal was to go past the first round and we did that. It�s been a long time since that happened. Winning is contagious and, hopefully, this carries over to next year.�

VANCOUVER, Jan. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - TAG Oil Ltd. (TSX: TAO and OTCQX: TAOIF) announced today that the Company's 100% owned New Zealand subsidiaries have concluded an agreement with Apache New Zealand Corporation LDC, which results in an early termination of the Farmout Agreement dated September 1, 2011. This agreement relates to exploration in Petroleum Exploration Permits 38348, 38349 and 50940 located in the East Coast Basin of New Zealand.
TAG Oil CEO Garth Johnson commented, "Although we are disappointed that Apache's shift in corporate strategy resulted in a refocusing of their international holdings, we do understand that tough decisions sometimes need to be made. TAG remains highly enthusiastic about the future of these prospects: All the work completed to date as a result of our JV Phase 1 activities strengthens our beliefs in the potential of TAG Oil's East Coast Basin holdings. We're also pleased to have full control back over the project with funding in place."
TAG intends to utilize the lump sum payment received by Apache to fund the drilling of up to four East Coast Basin wells as planned in the Apache-agreed Phase 1 work program. These wells will test several high-impact play objectives including the Waipawa and Whangai source rocks that have independently been confirmed to be generating 50 degree API oil. Additionally, these naturally fractured, high-quality source rocks are believed to be widespread across TAG's acreage. Independent assessments have concluded that there are approximately 14 billion barrels of undiscovered original oil in place potential, within less than a fifth of TAG's total land holdings on the East Coast.
Drilling of the first East Coast wells is expected to commence in late March/April 2013, subject to receipt of the necessary consents from regional government. TAG will utilize conventional vertical drilling techniques similar to those used by TAG Oil over many years in its successful Taranaki Basin operations.
Mr. Johnson concluded: "It was a pleasure to have had the opportunity to work closely with Apache. Our work together provided important geotechnical and operational related work, which has confirmed our belief in the major potential of this project, and advanced it to drill-ready status. Furthermore, TAG's cash flow and assets have grown dramatically since we first signed the agreement with Apache. So the Company can now fund further drilling operations and exploration activities from a place of strength and greater flexibility."
TAG Oil Ltd.
TAG Oil Ltd. (http://www.tagoil.com/) is a Canadian-based production and exploration company with operations focused exclusively in New Zealand. With 100% ownership over all its core assets, including extensive oil and gas production infrastructure, TAG is enjoying substantial oil and gas production and reserve growth through development of several light oil and gas discoveries. TAG is also actively drilling high-impact exploration prospects identified across more than 2,953,810 net acres of land in New Zealand.
In the East Coast Basin, TAG is pursuing the major unconventional resource potential believed to exist in the tight oil source-rock formations that are widespread over the Company's acreage. These oil-rich and naturally fractured formations have many similarities to North America's Bakken source-rock formation in the successful Williston Basin.

Hundreds of American soldiers have sacrificed their lives in order to serve our country overseas. Monday, two groups took time out of their schedules to honor those men and women.
Two events, but one goal: to honor the men and women of the Florida National Guard and Reserves serving overseas. The Association of the United States Army and the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve both held events, and although both groups serve different purposes, their message is the same.
Congressman Allen Boyd says, "What we're doing here is really important work, especially for the families of those men and women serving over in Iraq."
It was a day not about politics, but everyone coming together to pay their respects to the dedication of the troops.
Tony Grippa, Leon County Commissioner, says, "It's every facet of the community coming out to support the men and women overseas, making sure their families are okay while they're protecting our lives."
Honoring those who serve our country is even more special for those who served before, and remembering the impact of the men and women from our area.
Willie Meggs, Florida State Attorney, says, "And if you remember back in the first Gulf War one of the first tanks into Kuwait City was out of the Marine reserve camp here in Tallahassee, so it's so personal for what we can do for our servicemen."
In the end all involved got their chance to say thank you by signing a banner being sent to soldiers, a simple show of appreciation to those who put their lives on the line. The statement of support banner will be the 15th such banner that the ESGR has sent overseas this year.

CHAPEL HILL- Two Tar Heel athletes recently became recipients of the most prestigious athletic award that UNC presents.
Kara Cannizzarro of this year's national championship women's lacrosse team and Jonathan Cooper of the football team were announced Friday as winners of the Patterson Medal. The award has been presented annually since 1924 in memory of John Durand Patterson of the UNC class of 1908. It's given to Tar Heel athletes who demonstrate outstanding accomplishment on the field along with sportsmanship and leadership qualities.
The senior midfielder Cannizzaro earned MVP honors at this year's NCAA Tournament, where she scored four goals and two assists in the triple-overtime title game against top-ranked Maryland. During her time in the Tar Heel uniform, she scored 157 goals and 46 assists, including 61 goals and 22 assists in her senior year alone.
Meanwhile, Cooper, a senior offensive guard, tallied 10 or more knockdown blocks in nine different games in 2012. This isn't his first recent recognition; he earned first-team All-America honors last season and won the Jacobs Blocking Trophy, which is given to the ACC's top offensive lineman. Cooper was also a finalist last season for the Outland Trophy, which is presented each year to the best interior lineman in the nation.
Next season, Cooper will play for the Arizona Cardinals after going as the seventh pick in the first round of this year's NFL draft.
Cooper and Cannizzarro will formally receive their medals during next school year on dates still to be determined.

"Win one for the Gipper" rah rah speech I've ever heard.
Bryan Fuller
Trey Burke doesn't have to prove anything to anyone anymore. If he doesn't win national player of the year, it'll be an upset. NBA types are scrambling over each other to draft him in the top ten despite his lack of stature. He picked up the baton left by Darius Morris and jammed Michigan forward into its first Sweet 16 in almost 20 years. (Turnovers be damned!) As a freshman he was the best player on a team that broke an even longer Big Ten title drought. Trey Burke must find internal motivation these days; haterz are thin on the ground.
If Michigan goes out against shot-swatting Jeff Withey and his band of athletic freaks, oh well. Vegas has figured it and pegs the Jayhawks as favorites; Kenpom has Michigan by one, basically a pick 'em. If Michigan's run ends here that won't reflect poorly on Burke. Like Denard Robinson, Burke's done all he can do in this town.
Unlike Denard, all of his limbs are still working, and if things break right mosaic artists in southeast Michigan are going to be living large for a while. With the potential for a tourney upset past, Burke's at the same point Shawn Hunwick was last year when his .932 save percentage saw Michigan into the hockey tourney as a top seed. The options now are: great or the greatest.
As always, merely great is the heavy favorite. The gauntlet Michigan has to run reads something like Kansas-Florida-Syracuse-Louisville. We are entering the Super Meat Boy Warp Zone portion of the tourney.
Michigan, unfortunately, cannot respawn.
I don't think these things weigh on Burke. When you can remember the one blistering sequence at Ohio State where Burke was rattled and a detriment—remember the gravity-shift terror of the new universe you found yourself in—that says more about his base state of being than any step-back jumper you care to name. There's a tag on this here blog about it. Trey Burke is more of an emoticon than any other point guard I've experienced, and it's this one:
He does things that make pinwheels explode from Mitch McGary's head with the laconic coolness of Death harvesting a plague-ridden city. Also my head, Mitch McGary being a low bar to clear in the realm of cranial pinwheel explosions*. It wouldn't be a huge surprise if he turned out to be a robot.
He's got a tough job tonight. Kansas runs out a pile of swarming, long, experienced athletes. If you get past the first guy, this guy lurks:
Even though Burke should get 20 minutes against 5'11" Naadir Tharpe nothing's coming easy. Michigan needs Trey Burke to make it look like it, though, to glide to that spot on the baseline he takes his leaner from, to toss his hot-potato floater over Withey's outstretched fingers, to pull up at the top of the key and fire in a three, to push any sliver of a fast break.
One game doesn't define a player, especially one who'll be running an NBA team for the next decade. Burke's just adding exclamation points after his name at this juncture. We're about to hit the exponential part of the curve, though.
x = games into tourney; y = burke apotheosis points
My preferred Burke exclamation point count comes with scientific notation. Screw Mudville, let's do this.
*[OH MY GOD HUMMUS IS 50 CENTS OFF /does cartwheels into banana display]
"Win one for the Gipper" rah rah speech I've ever heard.
I don't think this KU team will be as intimidating as everyone thinks. We've played teams with great defensive big men- msu, wisc, Minn. M will win tonight
When I see that picture of Withey, I can't help think that is his mean face right before he started crying. Like a kid who is trying to act tough then just breaks down in tears.
Tears inflicted by Trey Burke.
I'm feeling the victory tonight too. Trey is going to show up big. Go Blue!
That will be my epitaph. Excellent, excellent, dusty-room-making work as always, Brian. I hadn't had a chance to read your Iowa wrap-up, and just seeing the photo of Denard running into the tunnel... well, it's... it's very moist here in DC.
Seriously, I feel weirdly blessed to be experiencing two very likable teams (basketball and football) over the past 2-3 years. From Denard to Zach Novak to Mike Martin to Stu Douglass to Junior Hemingway's impassioned Sugar Bowl acceptance speech to Mitch "Big Puppy or, against VCU, The Wolf" McGary, Burke, Stauskas, Devin Gardner, Funchess, and Taylor Lewan - it's a good time to be a Michigan fan. Really.
That said, I'll be a total wreck tonight.
On a plane in chicago right now heading him to Cleveland. Should walk in my front door about 15 minutes to tip off-enough time for a fast shower, two shots of tequila and a bells two hearted ale.
FYI- watched the OSU game last night in Seattle at a sports bar hosting the Seattle Buckeyes club and about 200 of their members it seems. So I can't even get away from those fuckers in Washington state for Gods sake.
So Denard was Sonic and Burke is Super Meat Boy?
I was thinking more HK-47.
I like those odds. I see M winning this game.
I wonder how long Brian has stored this exponential function metaphor. I likey.
Let Burke's star skyrocket.
I guess that's ultraviolet? or gamma rays?
Trey Burke!
off the chart tonight!
I don't think the graph you used went big enough!
Hulked out at the end?
Dude, cubic does not grow as fast as exponential. Duh.
Dude, cubic does not grow as fast as exponential. Duh.
With hindsight of what happened in the game, Brian's post is just eerily prescient.
Trey MF Burke, y'all.

From last weekend.
Post vids of nice goals as they're scored across the globe.
Ibrahimovic had a really nice one this weekend.
Ronaldhino's first goal with Milan, from last week. Sweet cross from Kaka, Ronnie buries it into the top corner, right off the ol' noggin.
Kaka may have been a touch offside, but details are meaningless
Nice goal this weekend in Ligue 1.
Yohann Gourcuff. Mark this name down. He has been tearing things up since the begining of the season: scored 2 goals and 3 assists in 3 games with the national team. He's already being compared to Zidane. Obviously anytime anyone with talent comes out this happens. But I feel he's got something else. A je ne sais quoi. This goal was a beauty (check out the #4 defender).
Paulie, do you remember him? He played sparingly last year for Milan. He was loaned this year to Bordeaux.
From our match this weekend
go to the link, if it asks you to sign in username nkuler2 password is jetsinsider
than click on the match score GS 3 - 0 Trabzonspor then click on the 1st goal
I know it sounds like a hassle but trust me its worth it
I've been lurking around, just not that much to write about I guess...
It's like all my teams have multiple personality disorders, the jets you know about, Galatasaray beats up on the leaders 3-0 but gets knocked out of CL, the National team plays a great second half and comes from behind saturday then draws with Estonia...
At lease fener really sucks this year Looks like luis Aragones will probably be fired in January so it's not all bad...
Good for him though, I wish him the best.
Yet another beautiful goal by Gourcuff sunday night against PSG (we got pummeled 4-0).
Have to get to the slo mo at the end to fully appreciate it. He touches the ball 4-5 times in a split second to eliminate 2 defenders.
Last edited by RaoulDuke; 01-13-2009 at 03:30 AM.
So he is the "new Zizou du jour" eh...
Well we'll see him up close next month in our UEFA cup tie against Bordeaux.
I hope he comes back to Milan and just as effective.
I did read that Gattuso is a little pissed off that Beckham was signed and actually started during the match against Roma on Sunday. He'll be out with an injury for a while and I think he's a little worried.
Beckham looks like he's having a great time in Milan, and was quoted in a London newspaper as saying that there were often times he got "frustrated" with the quality of play in America, and it's going to take a good 10 years before MLS becomes a legit league. He did say he will honor and respect his contract, but it sounds like he's itching to get out of LA and stay in Italy. Can't blame him.
He really makes a difference on the pitch with Milan, too. He brings a lot of excitement and energy and has become an asset to the team in a very short while.

Camille Jania clinched the match against Cornell Friday afternoon (photo Christopher M. Hill).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- The Harvard women's tennis team opened up the Ivy League schedule with a 6-1 defeat of Cornell at Beren Tennis Center. The win was Harvard's 34th all-time victory over the Big Red in 35 tries.
Cornell took a lead in the race to two doubles wins with a victory at No. 2. The Big Red's Christine Ordway and Ryann Young beat Harvard's Kristin Norton and Hannah Morrill, 8-3.
Harvard quickly evened Cornell's tally with a win of its own at No. 3. Samantha Gridley and Camille Jania continued their impressive mark this spring with a victory over Rosemary Li and Gabby Sullivan, 8-6. The Crimson's duo is 8-1 during the dual portion of the 2011-12 season.
The match turned over to the No. 1's where Hideko Tachibana and Kelly Whelan held a slim 5-4 lead. The contest stayed tight, as the score was tied at five, six, seven and eight before the duos entered a tiebreaker. Playing to seven, Harvard built a commanding 5-1 lead, but Cornell scored four of the next five points to make the score 6-5. At match point, Tachibana blasted a shot to the feet of a Cornell player that could not be returned to give the Crimson the doubles point.
It didn't take long for Harvard to clinch the match in singles play. The Crimson won five of the six matches, including three of the first four, to secure the victory.
Tachibana was the first to finish with an easy win over Sarah O'Neil at No. 1. Harvard's ace took the contest in two sets, 6-1, 6-0.
Kristin Norton was the next to record a victory with a 6-1, 6-3 defeat of Ryann Young at No. 2. With the Crimson up 3-1 and a point away from victory, Camille Jania finished off the Big Red in a second set tiebreak. Jania took down Ordway, 6-1, 7-6 (6).
Samantha Gridley (No. 6) and Hannah Morrill (No. 5) also recorded wins for the Crimson during singles play. Gridley swept Frazier, 7-6 (6), 7-5, and Morrill knocked off Courtney Malinchak, 7-5, 7-5.
Harvard continues Ivy League action tomorrow by hosting Columbia at noon.

They are good enough to be in your head.
The jizz are the most over rated team in sports. Good riddance.
They are good enough to be in your head.
Nope. Bad enough to realize all of the jizz fans that came out of the wood work after they lucked out against the caps are full of ****e.
The puck bounces a lot, ya know.
Good Luck against Cindy
This matchup reminds me a lot of the Boston-Tampa Bay matchup in the ECF two years ago. The Lecavalier-Stamkos-St. Louis line was getting to the net at will in that series. TB scored 5 goals in 4 of the 7 games. But Thomas had two shutouts and that was the difference in the series. Not sure that Rask can rise to that level against a team as explosive as Pitt.

New Law Makes Commercials Quieter
Even as the budget showdown continues, congress is determined to prove its worth. This week, commercials will be quieter.
On Thursday the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act, called by the clever acronym the CALM Act, went into effect. Its provisions? Commercials be no louder than the show they accompany, so that if you have your Thursday night sitcom playing at a nice moderate volume, you see, you're not shocked into attention by a declaration of the MOST UNBELIEVABLE DEALS RIGHT NOW or the amazing PAJAMA JEANS you just have to have.
"This is clearly not the biggest thing happening in Washington. But it is one less nuisance," Sen.Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), a sponsor of the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation, or CALM, Act, said at a Capitol Hill gathering to celebrate the law's implementation.
Under the rule, commercials should have the same average volume as the programs they accompany. The Federal Communications Commission, which has called loud TV commercials "one of the most persistent problems of the television age,"' said it will rely on consumer complaints to monitor industry compliance.
President Obama signed the measure nearly two years ago, but it took time for the FCC to draw up rules, and for industry groups to work through the technical issues and come into compliance.
This is actually, a fairly helpful bill that protects consumers from noise poollution, but needless to say, this change, which will be enforced by consumer monitoring, apparently, has attracted its share of funny responses.One humorous blogger, Paul Whitefield, complained that with technology moving at its current rapid pace, perhaps a law focusing on netflix, Hulu and on-demand might be more useful:
'Still, one problem with CALM may be that it's a day late. After all, with TiVo and the Hopper and their ilk, does anyone actually watch TV commercials anymore? You get the feeling this is like the folks who solved the horse manure problem -- just as the Model T came along."Whitefield also snarked that the baby boomers beginning to lose their hearing would render the law obsolete. Over at NPR's Monkee See, blogger Linda Holmes came up with new things for the FCC to regulate, like local snowblowers, neighbors who rehearse with their bands, and other sources of noise. For example:
2. The Construction Hurts Everyone Really Everywhere Act (C-HERE). Authorizes anyone living or working within two blocks of a piledriver to lean out the window and scream, "NOW SEE HERE," at which point the operator of the piledriver must apologize profusely and desist immediately.

A community prayer service organized by the Daytona Beach Black Clergy Alliance has been scheduled for noon Wednesday.
DAYTONA BEACH — After a killer tornado forced his family from their home, Shane Arington was able Tuesday to walk through his neighborhood of Moore, Okla., and assess the damage.
"My house got a lot of debris and some damage to the roof, but ... my friend's house and a row of other houses are all gone. They're all piles of sticks," said Arington, a Daytona Beach native whose family was unharmed by Monday's twister.
Recovery began for residents of Moore, a suburb south of Oklahoma City, where state officials said 24 people, including nine children, were killed. For Arington, a 1990 graduate of Warner Christian Academy in South Daytona, and his family, that meant finding a place to stay Tuesday night, as the power was out in their neighborhood and could remain dark for two weeks.
"Our plan now is to kind of stay with friends and people that we know around here," he said by telephone.
Earlier, he had been in touch with his parents, William and Dotty Arington of Daytona Beach, where the local community began to respond to the Oklahoma tragedy.
A community prayer service organized by the Daytona Beach Black Clergy Alliance has been scheduled for noon Wednesday at the Tubman King Community Church, 1090 George W. Engram Blvd.
"One can only imagine what the parents and family members must be going through at this time," the Rev. L. Ronald Durham, president of the alliance, said in a statement.
At the event, pastors will solicit donations for the American Red Cross to help families that have lost loved ones and homes, Durham said.
The Red Cross is offering assistance to victims in Oklahoma. The local chapter is awaiting word on how it might assist, said Erin Pagan, a spokeswoman.
"There certainly is a chance Central Florida volunteers could be deployed, but at this time they do not have a need for that," Pagan said.
To donate or volunteer for the Red Cross, go to www.redcross.org/fl/orlando or call 1-800-733-2767.
In Daytona Beach, some residents couldn't stop watching images of the destruction. Carl Harrington of Ormond Beach learned his ex-wife, Veda Hendrix, injured her shoulder in the tornado but was otherwise OK. After living in the Daytona Beach area for the previous two decades, Hendrix moved to Moore a couple of years ago, Harrington said.
William Arington learned about the tornado from a text from his son Shane and couldn't help but watch Oklahoma news stations' coverage online Monday night.
"It was excruciating," he said. "There was nothing I could do except pray about the situation. Nature is going to do what it was designed to do and we can't stop it."
Shane Arington was in his office in Oklahoma City when the tornado hit. His wife, Bobbi, a second-grade teacher, and his two children, Michaela and Jacob, were at their respective schools.
"My son, at his junior high, part of the roof was blown off his school," he said. "The gymnasium was destroyed. He was pretty frightened by that."

BALTIMORE (AP) — Chris Davis hit his major league-leading 34th homer to back a dominating pitching performance by Miguel Gonzalez, and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Texas Rangers 3-1 Thursday night to earn a split of the four-game series.
Davis snapped an 0-for-17 skid and reached career highs in homers and RBIs (86) with a second-inning solo shot off Ross Wolf (1-2). His 34 home runs are the most in the majors before the All-Star break since 2001, when Barry Bonds had 39 and Luis Gonzalez hit 35.
Brian Roberts also connected for the Orioles, and Nate McLouth hit an RBI single in the eighth.
Gonzalez (7-3) allowed one run, four hits and two walks in 6 2-3 innings to improve to 5-0 at home this year. Baltimore has won each of the last 12 games he's started at Camden Yards.
Jim Johnson worked the ninth for his 31st save in 37 opportunities.
Ian Kinsler homered and Mitch Moreland had three hits for the Rangers, who scored only one run in each of the final two games of the series. Adrian Beltre went 1 for 4 to extend his hitting streak to 13 games.
Texas couldn't have asked for much more from Wolf, who got the start after Yu Darvish was placed on the 15-day disabled list with an upper back strain. Wolf gave up two runs and three hits in six innings.
Wolf hadn't allowed a homer all season until Davis and Roberts both went deep in a span four batters. Davis put the Orioles up 1-0 by driving a 2-1 fastball into the center-field bleachers, and Roberts led off the third with his second homer of the year.
Baltimore's only other hit through the first five innings was a leadoff single by Matt Wieters in the fifth. He was promptly wiped out by a 6-4-3 double play in which shortstop Elvis Andrus went deep in the hole before flipping the ball to second from his glove.
The Rangers had just one runner through the first four innings and managed only two hits through the fifth — both of them singles by Moreland.
Kinsler homered to lead off the sixth and Nelson Cruz singled with one out before Beltre hit into a double play.
Texas got a runner on second with no outs in the eighth before Darren O'Day quelled the threat.
NOTES: Texas assistant general manager Thad Levine said Thursday that Darvish's injury isn't serious, and the right-hander should be ready to return soon after the All-Star break. … After his HR, Davis struck out twice and is in a 2-for-27 funk. … Baltimore begins a three-game series with Toronto on Friday night, and Texas concludes the first half with three games in Detroit. After the All-Star break, the Orioles and Rangers conclude their season series with three games in Texas from July 19-21. … Texas optioned RHP Josh Lindblom to Triple-A Round Rock and recalled pitchers Joseph Ortiz and Wilmer Font from the same minor league club. … Rangers RHP Alexi Ogando, who's been on the DL since June 9 with right shoulder inflammation, was scheduled to throw around 60 pitches in his second rehab start Thursday night for Round Rock.

SOLDOTNA — Large windows let in plenty of light to the children's area where books and toddler-sized tables and chairs adorned with colorful animals wait patiently to be used by Soldotna's youngest bibliophiles.
"It's going to be a wonderful place for kids and families to meet and to study and have story time," Joyce K. Carver Memorial Library Librarian Rachel Nash said. "It's even better when I start looking at the future and the memories that are going to be made here."
Nash said setting up the children's area at the new building was one of the first things the staff and volunteers worked to get ready for Monday's soft opening. Workers also separated baby board books, folklore stories and children's Alaskan books into their own sections to make them easier for kids to find.
An Advanced Workstations in Education Early Literacy Station, a kid-friendly computer that teaches kids ages 2-8 early literacy skills as well as math and social studies, will be up and running on Monday, Nash said.
The first event scheduled at new building is a family holiday story time with a visit from Santa Claus from 6-7 p.m. on Thursday, she said.
Another feature in the new library Nash is looking forward to utilizing is the 1,100 square-foot community room with a drop down screen and kitchenette. She hopes to regularly book education talks and teen program events in the space.
Community volunteer John Mohorcich, who was busy shelving books on Tuesday, said he likes the community room.
"I think the pubic meeting room is a great idea," he said "It was lacking in the community."
But he said he hasn't seen much of the new building because he's been "keeping his nose to the grindstone."
The library started moving on Dec. 2 and Nash said the department couldn't have moved all the books without the city maintenance department and the Kenai River Brown Bears hockey team.
"(The team) helped move all of those very heavy book boxes. I mean it was hundreds of book boxes that they helped us move," Nash said.
Nash said the community volunteers, who shelved books, were "phenomenal."
"We could not have done this much work in this short amount of time without their help," Nash said.
Melissa Mosk, who decided to volunteer because she had "time on her hands," said her favorite feature of the library is the fireplace.
Debra Gustafson, who moved to Soldotna a few months ago, said she decided to help move the library to get out and meet people and because she's a "huge library person."
Tuesday was her first day volunteering and shelving books, and she liked how the many large windows made the new building "so bright."
Volunteers and staff began to shelve the library's collection of about 45,000 volumes on Dec. 5. And a "mountain" of new books that arrived Dec. 9, Nash said.
For the soft opening Monday, Nash said the library won't have its information technology equipment and the shelves might not be in "perfect alphabetical order."
She said the basement collection, which is about 70 percent of the total volumes, is being moved up, while filing the mall collection.
"So that takes a lot of time and a lot of effort," she said. "And in order to open by Monday, we're just really focused on getting them on the shelf in rough order."
Nash said the goal was to get open this week to help patrons find and check out books during the holidays.
"Also it's just a good place for families to come and relax," she said.
The grand opening is scheduled for 2-4 p.m. on Jan. 18, 2014. Nash said the library is going to have community members help cut multiple ribbons.
"I think that's very symbolic," she said. "We can have children opening the stacks in the children's area and teens in the teen section and adults in the adult section."

I am looking into possibility of auto login to Office 365 (mail.office365.com)
I am fine with storing email/password in a file on the local PC and require the remember me option to be checked.
From my limited webdev knowledge, is it as simple as identifying the action URL of the form and the variables for email, password, and remember me option?
If this too complex, what would you all suggest for a solution to this problem?

(MCT) — BLOOMINGTON — Two pages of journal entries opened a window Tuesday into the mind of a 14-year-old boy accused of firing a handgun Sept. 4 in a Normal Community High School classroom.
The handwritten notes, read shortly before Judge Elizabeth Robb ruled that the youth will not be transferred to adult court, revealed a child controlled at times by voices urging him to commit acts of violence and vengeance.
Titled "Plan Delta," the writings described a "revenge plot" where "no one should survive." The journal material was presented in court by Assistant State's Attorney Aaron Hornsby, who asked that the boy's case be moved from juvenile to adult court, where he could face at least 30 years in prison if convicted on the weapons and armed violence charges.
In her decision to keep the case in juvenile court, where the harshest punishment is incarceration in a juvenile facility until he is 21, Robb cited a psychiatric evaluation of the youth by Dr. Robert Chapman.
Chapman noted the boy "admitted to hearing voices that were telling him not to talk and he had heard them for years. The voices were getting stronger, meaner and harder and they bothered him more," said Robb.
During the three-hour hearing, the boy smiled frequently at witnesses he recognized and nodded to his parents and grandmother who sat behind the defense table.
The youth, whose name has not been disclosed in juvenile court records, was psychotic at the time of the incident, said Robb. A class of 28 students and their teacher, Derrick Schonauer, were held hostage as he fired four shots into the ceiling before he was subdued by the teacher, authorities said.
Testimony from police and the child's therapist showed the conflicting sides of a teen whose struggles include bouts with depression, serious mental illness and disputes with his father. In more than six hours of interviews with police, the youth reportedly talked about plans he made a year earlier as a junior high student to bring guns to school.
"He made the statement he planned on doing the same thing at Evans Junior High but he didn't have the guts to do it," Normal police Detective Brad Park said of the boy's interview.
Students in the high school classroom shared stories with police of being threatened with the handgun pointed in their faces. One girl who challenged the shooter was told "to shut up or he would make it so she could not talk," Normal police Detective Jeremy Melville testified.
The judge said she was struck by the clear symptoms of mental illness displayed by the youth in the videotape she viewed of the police interview.
"He was talking to the walls, screaming back at what appeared to be voices. He spoke to inanimate objects in the room," said Robb, calling the child's behavior disturbing.
Kathy Vogel, a mental health therapist who has provided counseling to the boy since he has been detained at the county's juvenile detention center, said he is making progress with services and two types of psychiatric medications.
"He wants help. The medications will change his life and he knows it," said Vogel.
In his arguments to move the case to an adult court, Hornsby cited the extremely serious nature of the charges and the trauma caused to the students and school staff.
"He knew what he was doing was wrong. What was in his mind that day and what his plan was, only he knows," said Hornsby.
That the incident was frightening and held the potential for even more tragedy was not disputed by Feldman.
"But on that day he was psychotic. He had the opportunity to shoot people and he didn't," said Feldman. Sending the boy to an overcrowded state penal system that lacks adequate funding for mental health services is not the answer, said Feldman.
The youth now faces a Dec. 17 bench trial on the 16 felony charges.
His father, Rodney Kinder, is charged with unlawful delivery of firearms for allowing the boy to have access to a handgun when he was under 18 and a rifle without a firearm owner's identification card.

Wordless Wednesday -- President Jimmy Carter

Hi Barbara! I love this! I've taken photos of some of the presidential candidates in the last few NH primaries. Maybe someday I'll get them all together and do something with them! Most never went on to higher office (does anyone remember Lamar Alexander?)

Must have been an amazing moment, witness to history

Thank you both for your comments. Yes, I was pretty excited, and it was only because we all screamed his name, that he decided to come down to us. It was not planned, and we were thrilled.
Also, Heather, we ran up to NH several times (Bedford) trying to catch a glimpse of a candidate or even a favorite news reporter, but never saw anybody. I need to book a room at the Wayfarer. I've seen 4 presidents up close, and have photos of 3.

You can certainly use that dove of peace...happy to share. I don't think I have ever met a president. The closest I ever came to a political high roller was Edward Kennedy. He was much shorter than I thought....

Lindalee, Thank you, now to figure it out and if and when you see it posted, I'll be thinking of you. Also, I'll do Kennedy's autograph and other stuff in March, as I already wrote what I'd be doing for February.
