COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (April 1, 2013) – All the news about U.S. men's volleyball players in the U.S. and around the world.

The Future of Netbooks and the Next Big Thing
Inexpensive and lightweight netbooks have quickly become the "trend du jour" in mobile computing since they first hit the scene in late 2007. Coincidentally the shift occurred at about the same time the U.S. entered into a recession and people started downsizing everything from homes and suitcases to cans of Coca-Cola (now available in those oh-so-trendy European micro servings).
Sales projections for the devices are nothing short of astronomical, with shipments of ultra-mobile PCs, netbooks, mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) and other systems expected to reach 385 billion by 2014, something not predicated by the Mayans and their annoying calendar, but by ABI Research. Many companies view netbooks as the perfect "second system" or companion to a full-size notebook computer.
Others see them as a great "consolation prize" for workers who don't quite rate a smartphone, but do qualify for a low-cost Internet gateway system with a reasonably fast processor and a design that won't burden service and support.
Now it seems that elusive window of opportunity that product developers and marketers seek to discover and monetize may be closing faster than expected, although not because demand has waned. The siren's call of the Apple iPad may be too much to resist for people looking for something more in an ultra-mobile PC. Netbook shipments jumped a whopping 872% in the first quarter last year, although shipments were only expected to grow 33.6% this year, according to market researcher IDC. It's still impressive, but significantly lower than a year ago.
Initial analysis of netbook user demographics – young, hip, Internet-savvy and cash-strapped individuals – may be wrong, according to a survey released earlier this year by Pricegrabber.com. , The primary users of the small and mobile devices are 45-64 years olds, according to the survey, although more than half say the systems don't replace their primary PCs. Hmmm … maybe they are the computing equivalent to the early bird special dinner: inexpensive, smaller and easy to get out of the way.
In any case, it is the iPad factor that is of most interest, since it seems Steve Jobs new gotta-have-it toy is expected to impact everything from digital readers and tablet PCs to smartphones and personal entertainment devices. Apple, it seems, has invented – or more accurately, figured out how to mass market and consumerize – the long-awaited human-centered personal computing device.
For those of you who are old enough to remember, this was the goal of "Project Oxygen" an internal think tank at MIT, which, despite rumors, has nothing to do with airport and lounge oxygen bars that have cropped up around the world.
Intel, maker of the Atom processor that is used in a lot of today's netbooks, won't say if orders from manufacturers are waning (according to a recent BusinessWeek article), although many mobile computer makers admit they have already started to look for The Next Big Thing- in computing. Ironically, it will probably be a device that is very small, very personal and extremely mobile.
At International CTIA Wireless 2010 last month in Las Vegas, longtime industry analyst Dr. Gerry Purdy held an awards dinner as part of his re-launched MobileTrax service and the Inside Mobile Mobility Awards (more on this in a coming blog). One of the winners was Kopin Corp. for its Golden-i wireless and wearable micro display that "projects" a floating HD screen in front of your eyes and essentially turns your head into a computer stand.
I don't know if it's indeed The Next Big Thing, but the message is clear: The future of mobile computing is not only straight ahead, but may be staring you right in the face.

Hate to see you guys go :( ...... :'(
Best of luck to all of you.
So long and thanks for all the fish.
this is very sad news...
please, PLEASE don't let the domain name expire to someone who'll make it into a religious website!
Too bad :-/.
I was a late comer to the podcast, as well as to this group and the Nexus. I am really concerned that you aren't going to continue the program, which I have always to considered my favorite. I have a total of 30 podcasts that I listen to, and I am really missing your program, which take a lighter approach to facts considering religion, or a lack thereof. Please reconsider continuing this podcast, for it will leave a void in the ether if it is not. Irreligiosophy was another that I favored, and it has ceased. I'd hate to keep losing programs like these.
If we fans can do anything to assist you efforts, please do let us know in your next podcast.
This suuuuucks.
Can understand not having the time to do it, but man, I'll be damned if I don't still try to update the show on iTunes everyday. You guys have a unique voice and are (or were?) truly doing the FSM's work.
Can't you just be like Gingrich and 'suspend your campaign'? I guess I'm the type of guy who doesnt mind being pulled along.
In any case, best of luck and good health to the both of you and your families.
Oh No...I'm sorry to hear you are calling your podcast quits. It's funny and informative; please rethink your decision. We need you! Even if the interval between shows is longer, we'd (at least I would) be willing to listen as long as you don't say farewell. Am I clear?!?
Many thanks, Meridien
Sad to hear you go, but life has a way of having things come up. Seems to be something that is happening more and more to the good Atheist and skeptic podcast.
Well it was fun and you guy where great, keep safe, never know who is under the bed, oh wait its just the dog. :-)
where can I get the episodes?!

Most Physicians Don't Meet Quality Reporting Requirements
3-Jan-2013 4:00 PM EST
American College of Radiology (ACR)
Available for logged-in reporters only
Journal of the American College of Radiology
KEYWORDSPhysician, Healthcare, Medicare
Radiologists Nearly Twice as Likely as Other Providers to Qualify for PQRS Bonuses
Newswise — Washington, DC – A new Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute study shows that fewer than one-in-five healthcare providers meet Medicare Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) requirements. Those that meet PQRS thresholds now receive a .5 percent Medicare bonus payment. In 2015, bonuses will be replaced by penalties for providers who do not meet PQRS requirements. As it stands, more than 80 percent of providers nationwide would face these penalties.
Researchers analyzed 2007-2010 PQRS program data and found that nearly 24 percent of eligible radiologists qualified for PQRS incentives in 2010 — compared to 16 percent for other providers. The Neiman Institute study is published online in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.
"Near term improvements in documentation and reporting are necessary to avert widespread physician penalties. As it stands, in 2016, radiologists collectively may face penalties totaling more than $100 Million. Although not a specific part of this analysis, penalties for nonradiologists could total well over $1 Billion," said Richard Duszak, MD, chief executive officer and senior research fellow of the Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute. "Compliance with PQRS requirements has improved each year but more physicians need to act now: their performance in 2013 will dictate penalties for 2015."
The Neiman Institute conducts and supports research regarding medical imaging use, quality and safety metrics, and human resources as medicine moves toward non-traditional, value-based payment and delivery. The data gleaned from these efforts will serve as the basis for true, evidence-based medical imaging and health care policy.

The Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute is one of the nation's leading medical imaging socioeconomic research organizations. The Neiman Institute studies the role and value of radiology and radiologists in evolving health care delivery and payment systems and the impact of medical imaging on the cost, quality, safety, and efficiency of health care.

SAN DIEGO - A Marine sergeant who is being retried in an Iraq war crimes case has been arraigned on charges that include murder and obstruction of justice.
U-T San Diego says Lawrence Hutchins III didn't enter a plea Thursday at Camp Pendleton in California. His motions asking for a new judge and defense attorney are still being considered.
Hutchins says the defense lawyer assigned to him has been a judge in the past who ruled against him.
Hutchins in the 2006 killing of a retired Iraqi policeman in the village of Hamdania.
A retrial was ordered after the military's highest court overturned the 29-year-old's murder conviction last summer. That court ruled his rights were violated by interrogators in 2006.

The students in our Geography class made websites that highlight important information about agriculture in Quebec.
The site the students used to construct their websites is www.weebly.com. I like using Weebly because it is easy to use and at the same time, it has enough features to produce nice results. Also, it is free.
Another good site which we used is www.scribblemaps.com. Scribble Maps allows students to draw and color on Google Maps. The resultant production can then be embedded in a website. The students used Scribble Maps to identify the agricultural areas of Quebec and the different physiographic regions of the province.
The students used www.chartgo.com to create embeddable charts. I like Chartgo because it is simple to use and the results are aesthetically pleasing.
Here are a couple of examples of the websites produced by students:

Donating to parks
Last weekend we went to the Visitors Center in the Rocky Mountain National Park. There we found a multitude of plastic boxes with the names of all of the states and some other areas on them. Visitors were encouraged to make a cash donation in their respective states' box for the Park. It was very interesting to note that every box contained currency — except the two from Canada and Washington, D.C.!!!!

Rimon Law necesitaba un nuevo diseño de impreso o envases y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 56 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
Law firm requires clean and professional informational brochure. Brochure should be tri-fold, double-sided brochure on 8.5x11 canvas. Design should be delivered in high-quality .AI format and immediately ready to send to the printer.
It is imperative for the design to look professional - it can't be something that looks like it could have been done in my home. Other than that, creativity is encouraged.
Rimon Law Group, Inc.
We are a company that outsources legal work to American attorneys living in Israel. We are a young, small company but like most we are trying to convey a large company, professional feel. We need a very professional, clean, easy to read, but NOT boring brochure that will contain information about our company. It is imperative that the brochure not look amateurish, because we are trying to convey a strong image for our company. The winner will likely be asked to do future print designs for our company.
For inspiration, you might (or might not) look at our website: http://www.rimonlaw.com. But we're not married to anything on that site.
The text for the brochure and our logo can be found at http://download.yousendit.com/E5A51A71432DD3B1 NOTE: OUR LOGO IS ONLY THE ENGLISH TEXT PORTION OF THE .AI FILE. THE WORD "RIMON" SHOULD BE IN PANTONE 1795. THE WORDS "LAW GROUP" SHOULD BE IN PANTONE 425. WE ALSO HAVE A CONDENSED VERSION OF OUR LOGO, WHICH YOU MIGHT USE. IT IS SIMPLY "RLG" IN RIVEN FONT, WITH THE "R" IN 1795 AND THE "LG" IN 425. WE CAN SLIM DOWN THE TEXT IF NEED BE, IF IT WILL GREATLY HELP THE DESIGN.
- Tri-fold, double-sided brochure printed on 8.5x11 paper.
- Design to be delivered in .AI format, ready for the printer
- In terms of text, the back cover should contain little more than our contact information (but may contain graphics)
- The front page should also be catching with minimal text.
- other than that, it should incorporate our text on the remaining pages, with appropriate graphics, texture, shading, etc.
- Clean and professional a must. Can't be simply text on graphics, but shouldn't be messy either.
- we don't want stock or cheesy pictures, i.e. lady justice, scales of justice, people we've never met reading papers. You might use the pics on our homepage, but that is not necessary if you feel, in your design opinion, that something else would be better. PLEASE DON'T USE THE PICTURE OF THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE FROM OUR WEBSITE, BUT YOU MAY USE A DIFFERENT, NON-COPYRIGHTED IMAGE OF THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE
- We don't want any religious imagery.

NFL just changed a few rules:
Kickoffs now from the 35 instead of the 30
Touchback point is still 20 (proposal was 25)
All scoring plays will be confirmed by replay
coaches are not charged a challenge for those replays
all in all – I think its good for the Packers. We had a very spotty kick coverage team, and with the move forwards, Mason should get it into the end zone more frequently for touchbacks. I'm all for that! No more extreme nervousness at every kick!
Also, this hurts the Bears quite a bit with Hester. Between kicking a punt out of bounds and more touchbacks, a team can virtually neutralize him with solid and consistent kicking.

Kicking off from the 35 is apparently a move designed to help prevent injuries on kickoff returns. Can replacing punts with place kicks be far behind?
Nick Says:
March 24, 2011 at 9:06 am
I hope not. I feel like that would be too radical of a change to happen…but you never know…

Glad to find this group. I've been in law enforcement for nearly my entire (civilian) career and have been an atheist even longer. I work in southern California and only know of a few others who have been law enforcement professionals and atheists. I was curious if any here have known others who share our belief.
No more UC for me, but still feel comfortable in the cop shop. From Highland Park to Coachella Valley in Cali is where it went down. BNE, NTF Agent. Gotta tell you I was shocked to find the group. Be safe.
Just saying hi, guys! I am a former STAR officer for the Independence Kansas Police Department. I still have close ties with LEO's, especially in my old department. It's great to find some other LEO's, former or current, that share the same views. You don't find that too often, it seems. Anyway, Hello!
Hey everyone, I'm a Deputy with the USMS, and am, as far as I know, the only atheist in my office. I've just started work in Denver, but was originally in one of the South Carolina offices and it came out there that I was an atheist and it didn't go over too well. So I'm hesitant to tell anyone in this office so it's great to find a group like you guys who share the same viewpoints!

Mercer introduces a private benefits exchange for active employees - Mercer MarketplaceSM
Mercer introduces a private benefits exchange for active employees - Mercer MarketplaceSM
- Robust platform and service will assist both employers and their employees to more effectively manage benefit costs
- Employees will have superior choice, flexibility and service
- Scalable platform able to serve companies both large and small
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mercer, a global consulting leader in talent, health, retirement and investments, today announced the launch of Mercer MarketplaceSM, a private benefits exchange designed to help employers more effectively manage their benefit costs while providing employees and their dependents with superior choice, flexibility and service. This is an important addition to the suite of solutions that Mercer provides clients.
"The convergence of a number of critical factors - the unsustainable rise in benefit costs, healthcare reform, 'consumer-driven' solutions, and improving technology - is transforming the provision of employee benefits," said Julio A. Portalatin, President and CEO of Mercer. "Mercer Marketplace provides our clients with a market-leading platform and service to support their employees in this transformation."
Mercer's new benefits exchange will provide employers with an opportunity to continue offering competitive benefits to their employees, which is an important attraction and retention tool, while actively managing spending and reducing their administrative responsibilities. Employees will have access to a broader array of benefits, as well as the ability to tailor those benefits to their particular needs, with the necessary support to make appropriate decisions.
Employers of all sizes that use the Mercer Marketplace will have the flexibility to determine how much to contribute toward the cost of their benefits program and can select from a wide range of insured and self-funded products to offer to their workforce. They can thus design a competitive benefits program while understanding and controlling the costs associated with a wide range of options. The platform includes full benefits outsourcing and will support employees with call center and online decision support during the enrollment process and beyond.
Mercer Marketplace will allow employers and employees access to a broad array of benefits - both traditional and voluntary - from multiple insurance providers, along with education tools and support to help employees customize their choices to better fit their needs. This private exchange will be available to employers with at least 100 employees.
"Mercer research indicates that 56% of employers are considering a private exchange to provide benefits to their active employees or retirees," said David Rahill, President, Health & Benefits at Mercer. "What distinguishes Mercer Marketplace is the breadth of our benefit offerings, a scalable platform able to serve companies both large and small, and our extensive 'direct-to-consumer' experience. Helping employees make informed decisions is a critical component of this model."
Mercer Marketplace utilizes a technology platform developed byBenefitfocus that is customized for Mercer clients.This cloud-based technology helps employers streamline the administration of their benefits plans. "Mercer has designed a powerful private exchange through which employers can offer employees a full set of benefits," said Shawn Jenkins, President and CEO of Benefitfocus. "Mercer has combined it with our benefit administration platform to simultaneously reduce administrative costs and increase employee choice. We believe this will be well received and very competitive."
The Mercer Marketplace private exchange joins the other Mercer solutions that make up the Mercer Exchange Suite, which includes a Medicare exchange, voluntary benefits and collective offerings including Mercer Health AdvantageSM.

Every time I serve this impressive appetizer, I am asked for the recipe. It also looks pretty when you skip the provolone layer.

Slumming on tour
Jennifer Lopez and Enrique Iglesias along with Wisin Y Yandel announced their summer tour yesterday. JLo called it "historic" which I guess is why she commemorated the occasion with her backup dancer Casper Smart. She held his hand upon arrival at the presser. And why not? You don't actually think she'd go on the road without him, do you?
Casper will get a job. He'll either be dancing or he'll be supervising the dancing. And she'll make him the creative director of the concert dvd or something. That way the promoter will have to pay him. AND he can propose to her onstage on her birthday.
But she's wearing the sh-t out of that dress, non?

Is it a little too early to be thinking about Thanksgiving? Nah. I'll blame it on my husband, he just put in for Thanksgiving leave this week. We're headed home to celebrate this year, and I couldn't be more excited. It's been a year since we've been home (Indiana) and I'm excited to see everybody and even more excited to bake the turkey dinner along with my mother and sister. This year I think I'll switch it up and make some of these pumpkin pie mousse parfaits instead of the traditional pie. I have to admit these are really yummy even though pumpkin isn't my favorite pie. I'm a cherry pie kind of girl...even better if it's cheesecake...or chocolate peanut butter...darn now I'm ready for Thanksgiving and it's not even October 1 yet! Clearly I have calendar issue too.
I'm also blaming Duncan Hines for my Thanksgiving thoughts, because recently two new frosting creations flavors hit the shelves: pumpkin spice and apple pie. I was really stoked to see them because...we were given a chance to sample these flavors at the Duncan Hines secret test kitchen. So I've had to keep them a secret since then...and you should know I'm no good at secrets! I knew I wanted to make something with them right away but wasn't sure just yet...until my brother requested a pumpkin version of my winning mousse recipe. Duh! Now why didn't I think about that...and so these pumpkin spice mousse parfaits were born from the hungry belly of a 16 year old. Who would have known that pesky little bother would come in so handy one day. They took a little more effort then the chocolate one but they were still easier and quicker then baking a pie.
The parfaits are layered with pie crust, pumpkin mousse, then topped with whipping cream and cute little cinnamon pie crust leafs. A few weeks ago Christy form Love From the Oven posted these pumpkin pie cupcakes with cinnamon leaf toppers on them. It was such a brilliant idea I knew I would have to try it. The toppers are my favorite for sure. Oh and I should probably let you know the whole sha-bang can be pulled together in about 15 minutes. I should know...because I started them 20 minutes before heading out to girls night and still made it on time, not that I'd recommend that or anything :).
Ready to whip up some of your own? Here's what your going to need:
1 box of rolled pie crust
1 can of Duncan Hines starter icing
1 packet of Pumpkin Spice flavor creations
1 8 oz heavy whipping cream
2 1/2 cups canned pumpkin puree
7 TBS powdered sugar
1 TSP cinnamon + 1 TSP for sprinkling
1 TSP sugar
1 TSP softened butter
Other items you'll need:
small dessert glasses or cups
mini leaf cookie cutter
piping bag + round tip (optional)
parchment paper
This recipe makes enough to fill 12 5oz dessert cups.
Step 1: Place metal mixing bowl and whisk in freezer for about 5 minutes. This will help your whipping cream whip up. While your waiting preheat the oven to 400.
Step 2: Beat whipping cream until nice and fluffy. Add in 7 TBS of powdered sugar. Mix well.
Step 3: Remove about 1 1/2 cups of whipping cream and set aside to use for topping later.
Step 4: Mix flavor packet into icing can.
Step 5: Add pumpkin spice icing and pumpkin puree into whipping cream. Mix well. Then add in 1 TSP of cinnamon. Once mixed set in fridge to keep cool.
Step 6: Roll out 1 of the pie crusts on a clean counter, cut out your leaf shapes. I made 14 so I had a few extra just in case. Cut up the remaining dough into about 2 X 2 inch sections. Don't worry about shape your just going to break them up. In case your wondering why I have circles cut out...my first attempt was to just layer circled pie pieces...but they got lost in the mousse. :) If your going to be using larger cups I would recommend using baking up some of the second roll of pie crust.
Step 7: Lay all your pie pieces on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Mix remaining 1 TSP of cinnamon and sugar. Brush leaf toppers with melted butter and then sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar. Bake at 400 for about 7 minutes. Keep a close eye on them..because they can burn really quick.
Step 8: After the crust pieces have cooled down...set the leaf toppers aside and break up the rest in a bowl.
Step 9: Now layer the pie crust and pumpkin mousse in your dessert cups. You layers may vary depending on your serving size. I used 5 oz dessert cups and just under 1 TBS of pie crumbs for each layer.
You can spoon your mousse if you'd like. To keep it nice I used a pipping bag and a round tip. A cut Ziplock would do just fine of course.
Step 10: Once your layers are done, either spoon or pipe a small amount of whipping cream on top. Then top with leaf toppers.
Easy as pie...well even easier really, so maybe it should be easy as pie mousse ;)
Happy Baking!

The Crisis in City Government [ THE LOCAL OFFICIAL: CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE We are living in uncertain times. Inflation, recession, and climbing unemployment are front-page news. Citizen concern mounts steadily over crime in the streets, racial unrest, inadequate housing, educational systems in turmoil, and the plight of the elderly and poor. At the focal point of this economic and social uncertainty are our cities, where, battered on one side by these continuing crises and on the other by rising public expectations, local officials are caught in the middle. They wear many titles—such as city council member, city or county commissioner, or county supervisor—but their concerns are the same whatever they do. What is the best way to cope with municipal problems? How can priorities be determined? Where can money be found to do the job? Does public confidence in government need to be restored? To get answers to these and other critical questions, TEMPO talked with key officials from four US local governments of varying size, population mix, and location: • Edmund D. Edelman, county supervisor, Los Angeles County, Pop. 7,000,000 • Earl Harris, president, Newark Municipal Council, Newark, N.J., Pop. 375,000 • Robert Richter, alderman, Sheboygan, Wise, Pop. 50,000 • Harold F. Hunter, Jr., chairman, city commission, Rome, Ga., Pop. 32,000 These public servants, some full time, some part time, share one common objective: to upgrade the quality of life in their cities and to provide the best possible service to the public at the lowest possible cost. How well are they meeting this goal? Their responses to the following questions reveal some interesting insights. , What frustrations do local officials live with on a day-to-day basis? Earl Harris, full-time city council president in the struggling city of Newark, may have the toughest job of all. "A major problem is the public's lack of understanding about the way a city government functions," he says. "We could operate much more effectively if we could confine our work to 1 planning and legislation, as the charter defines our job. But people get on our backs about everything—from garbage and street paving to stray cats—and this eats into our precious time." What is needed, Mr. Harris believes, is public education. He wants to initiate a direct-mail campaign about how city governments operate. Newspaper ads will not work, he feels, because an influx of uneducated people in recent years—paralleled by a middleclass exodus—has resulted in too many citizens who can't or won't read the papers. A rash of individuals and groups constantly camps on a councilman's doorstep, bearing an endless variety of causes, programs, and projects. This is as true in Georgia as in New Jersey. For Harold Hunter, the biggest frustration is also the lack of time—the impossibility of getting everything done that needs to be done. "Much as you'd like t o , " he says, "you can't say yes to everything. Under Georgia law, for example, cities aren't permitted to contribute to charitable programs." He cites a middle- and low-income section of town which needs a recreational facility. The city could have bought property and made it available to a nonprofit organization on a free-lease basis. But investigation revealed this would be considered a charitable gift; and as a city commissioner, he would be held personally liable. What hurt most of all, he confides, is that he himself comes from that section of town. Another aspect of city government distresses Sheboygan's Robert Richter: the undue pressure from self-interest groups. "The more powerful the group," he says, "the greater the pressure." He refers to a continuing conflict between impressive looking schools and better quality schooling. " O n the one hand," he says, " I recall the caliber of education that existed in some of the old, rural, inexpensive schoolhouses. And I compare some of the big, costly, streamlined buildings of today. It makes you wonder at times. Are the youngsters really better off today?" Whatever the answer, he says, it takes courage to make an honest, objective evaluation. And it takes even more fortitude for a public servant to stand firm under the flak that is almost sure to result, whatever decision he makes. The fourth official, Edmund Edelman, is now a member of Los Angeles County's five-man board of supervisors, which covers 78 separate cities including the city of Los Angeles. This county is the nation's largest in both population and government expenditure. It is the foremost example of the fast-growing "urban counties" that increasingly administer functions associated with cities but do so on a metropolitan scale. Prior to joining the board, Mr. Edelman was a Los Angeles city councilman for nine and one-half years. "What would get to me in that j o b , " he confides, "were the limitations of the office. I just wasn't as free as I wanted to be to address such broad county issues as pollution, tax reform, and transportation." Now, three months later, it is difficult for him to make a judgment about his new job. "I haven't been here long enough to feel frustrated. I am just 51

2 hurt in NY when deer jumps through minivan
October 07, 2013 at 03:36 AM
ELLENBURG, N.Y. (AP) — A family was on a drive and enjoying the fall foliage when a six-point buck flew through one side of their minivan and out the other, leaving them showered with glass and wondering what just happened, a member of the family said Tuesday.
"If my daughter hadn't been lying down in the back seat she would have been killed," said Chris Perry of Chateaugay, near the Canadian border. Her husband, 61-year-old John Perry, and their 16-year-old daughter were treated at a Plattsburgh hospital for minor injuries and released after Thursday's accident.
Perry said her husband was driving about 45 or 50 mph on Route 374 in Ellenburg, not far from their home, when they heard a loud bang around 4:45 p.m. Thursday.
"Then it was raining glass, getting in our hair, and our daughter was screaming in the back seat," Perry said. "My husband pulled over and we opened the door to get her out; then a guy ran over and said a deer flew through the van. We didn't know what had happened."
Perry said the deer apparently leaped out of the woods and smashed through the rear windows on the driver's side, landed on the teen, and launched itself through the glass on the passenger side while the van was still moving. The deer died.
"It's amazing that there's nothing wrong with the van except four of six windows were smashed," Perry said.
Perry said her husband didn't want the deer meat, so rescue volunteers took it home.

Too bad we lost.. but hopefully we bounce back in a big way this week.
We need to get rid of Sheridan, he's awful!
I'm not very optimistic about making the playoffs, but I believe the cowgirls will lose to NO and philadelphia and we beat the redskins and the panthers.
Eagles owned the line scrimmage last night. Giants O & D-line got punched in the mouth in their own house. What an embarrassment :boohoo:
Damn it. We outgained them in yardage by like 150 yards and still lost the game. It's like we're cursed by Donovan McNabb...
I feel pitty for them. That D-fence is leaking all over the place. We made the Ealgles man, the ****ing Eagles look like the Colts.
No, We're cursed by having an idiot at Defensive coordinator...
We need a new headcoach. I say give me Bill Cowher.
No, firing Tom Coughlin is not the solution in my opinion.
Bill Sheridan needs to go, he managed to destroy our defense in a few months!
I just hope that the Rams fire Spagnuolo to get him back as our DC, we meed him badly!
General Tom C. is not going anywhere. We need a difference maker at WR. Nicks is just not ready to carry the offense. On the SB season we had Plax and Toomer, two leathel weapons. This season we had Manigham and Nicks, a sophomore and a rookie. Not exactly intimidating offensive options.
We also had a healthy trio of RB in Earth, wind and fire. Now we had only earth and wind and Jacobs was hurt most of the season.
And than Sheridan isn't no where near being the genius Spagnuolo was. No contests whatsoever, zero.
And don't evfen get me started with that D-line. Boley was a fluke, Camty too. Since Strahan left we plain sucked. Even Yosi was bad although he had a year off.
Fewell to the rescue. Say hello to our new defensive coordinator.
Also rumors have Cowlher wanting to coach the Giants someday. Excellent.

History of the Crew Program
Men's Crew
The Ithaca College men's rowing team was formed in the fall of 1968. The team competed for the first time on April 19, 1969. Two weeks later, the men rowed to victory over Manhattan, Canisius, and Buffalo in the Metropolitan Championship.
Other titles followed, including medals at the annual Dad Vail Regatta, recognized as the small-college national championship, where the Bombers accumulated 11 medals, including 5 golds. In the mid-1970s, Ithaca entered into lightweight rowing, finishing in the top 10 at the Dad Vails 17 times between 1975 and 1992.
The team is currently coached by Dan Robinson '79, M.S. 92. In 1993, under Robinson, the Bombers moved from the Dad Vail Regatta to the ECAC National Invitational Rowing Championship, an event that features Division I, II, and III schools.
For more details about the history of the men's program, visit the Bomber website.
Women's Crew
In 1975, the Ithaca College women's rowing team was established at Ithaca College. Only one year later they captured the 1976 Dad Vail varsity 8 title, the first year women's races were offered at the regatta. The Bombers would go on to claim the title again in 1979.
Since then, the momentum hasn't stopped. Women's crew became a varsity sport in 1983, and the program has built up over the past three decades to boast 15 consecutive winning seasons, four New York State small-school titles, and, in 2004 and 2005, Division III national champions -- the first crew to win back-to-back championships in division history.
The team is currently coached by Becky Metz Robinson '88, M.S. '94. Robinson, a former Bomber crew member, made the national team in 1991 and was a final-day cut from the U.S. Olympic team a year later. She's been coaching IC crew since 1993.

The Badi Girls
Between 7,000 and 12,000 young girls, aged 9-16, are trafficked each year from Nepal; mainly to India. According to Nepal Monitor/On line journal, 2007, there are more than 200,000 Nepali girls in Indian brothels.
The Dalits(untouchables) are the lowest level in Hindu society, and the Badi community, in Western Nepal, are the lowest of the low. As a displaced hungry people group the Badi community has made sexual subservience a way of life. Young girls from this group "serve" other groups. This has become a tradition and means of livelihood. Many girls, even when they are unwilling, are forced to serve as sex slaves. Family members knowingly sell their daughters to traffickers.
Though prostitution is illegal in Nepal, the industry reportedly has links with highly ranked officials and political leaders. Large groups of girls are taken across the border with many police and government officials being in collusion with traffickers and brothel owners.
Traffickers and related criminals are often protected by political parties, and if arrested, are freed using political power. As a result, there is an underlying distrust of police that has led people not to file cases against traffickers.
Domestic action involves activities of NGO's and other volunteer groups. These groups are playing a major role to address girl-trafficking and sex slaves issues. Some NGO's are playing a very important role to improve the situation. From creating social awareness to rescuing and rehabilitation, they are providing services (and relief) to those that need it the most – the likely victims as well as the rescued ones. The Lighthouse foundation is one of these.

Protect remote-office data
Centralizing remote-office and branch-office (ROBO) apps and their data in the primary data center has enormous economies of scale. These remote-data apps cut the amount of data sent over the wire, making it possible to economically back up remote data to a central site. We provide a sampling of the various ROBO data management products on the market, and describe how they can best be implemented.
It's best to store remote-office data and host remote-office applications in the central data center. Various products can eliminate TCP/IP transmission issues that might hinder those moves.
Several recent surveys by analyst firms document the perception that the amount of data within remote offices and branch offices (ROBOs) is greater than the amount of data within the data center. In an era of growing compliance regulation, and increased internal and external threats to data, managing and protecting ROBO data has become a big problem.
ROBO users require and expect the same level of services and support as users in the primary data center. This means ROBO data accessibility, data protection and application response times must be equivalent to those local to the data center. The requirements are simple. Delivering on those requirements isn't.
Storage managers have two main ways to protect ROBO data: create a mini data center for each ROBO, or centralize ROBO applications and data at the primary data center. The first option is very expensive, management is complex, highly qualified IT staffers are required at each ROBO and things rarely work well.
Centralizing ROBO applications and data in the primary data center offers the following potential advantages:
- Increased IT productivity by leveraging IT administrator assets within the data center
- Reduced investments in hardware, infrastructure, software, personnel, training and maintenance, and increased data center asset utilization
- Better, faster service and simpler management
- Consistent data protection that meets IT and regulatory compliance requirements
- Easier sharing of data among ROBOs
Three technologies enable the centralization of data by mitigating or eliminating most WAN problems (with the exception of speed of light latency or distance). These include:
- Fat pipe TCP WAN optimization (a.k.a. Data Replication Optimization or DRO)
- Skinny pipe TCP WAN optimization, plus Wide-Area File Systems or WAFS (a.k.a. Wide-Area Data Services [WADS], Wide-Area Application Services [WAAS] and Wide-Area Data Management [WADM])
- Distributed ROBO backup to disk
Fat pipe TCP WAN optimization
Fat pipe TCP WAN optimization (DRO) is designed to move large amounts of data in single or multiple streams over "fat pipes" at a speed of between 5Mb/sec to 1Gb/sec. DRO minimizes the effect of distance by using a TCP protocol-enhancing proxy (typically a derivative of TCP or UDP) that allows it to do things that can't be done with standard TCP/IP v4 or v6. For example, the protocol-enhancing proxy allows DRO to terminate TCP at each end of the pipe, which completely eliminates TCP latency overhead. That, by itself, would greatly increase the effective data throughput, but there are other DRO tricks that increase throughput.
DRO deduplicates data on a block level, which requires a lot less data to traverse the fat pipe. It can also compress the deduplicated data, as well as adjust the window size and payload to decrease the number of roundtrips required to move that data between the primary data center and remote or branch office. (When the TCP window size and payloads are increased, it usually makes the effective data throughput far more sensitive to packet loss caused by high bit-error rates, network jitter and network congestion.) The net effect is a greatly increased data throughput rate.
The real throughput magic comes from DRO's capabilities in diminishing the throughput effects of packet loss. WAN packet loss is a fact of life. Most telcos will claim incredibly low packet-loss numbers of 0% to .001%, but those seem to be the exception, not the rule. Users, on the other hand, say their WAN packet-loss rate ranges between .1% to 6%, according to various surveys. Although that may not seem like much, it's devastating to TCP/IP throughput.
TCP was created with very short LAN distances in mind. When packets are lost or dropped, TCP can't reorder packets, so it must retransmit every packet behind the lost one. This isn't such a big deal on a LAN because the distances are short, acknowledgement of packet loss is quick and not much data has to be retransmitted when packets are lost. That isn't the case when traversing a WAN; as distance increases, roundtrip time increases and more packets fill the pipe. This means more packets must be retransmitted when a packet is lost.
DRO significantly reduces the effects of packet loss by reordering the packets, so it only has to retransmit the lost packets and nothing else. DRO data throughput is often an order of magnitude greater than native throughput. Sometimes it's actually greater than the rated bandwidth (depending on the amount of bandwidth). These quantifiable throughput improvements can be traced directly to the cumulative effects of deduplication, compression, optimal window sizing, stacking, TCP termination and packet-loss mitigation.
Sometimes DRO throughput can be too efficient. It can completely seize the entire fat pipe, making it available only for those applications running through the DRO, which can block other apps from accessing the WAN. One way around this is to ensure the DRO product has rate-limiting capabilities or assigning only a fraction of the WAN bandwidth to the DRO (see "Data Replication Optimization [DRO] product comparison").
DRO is an excellent choice when bandwidth is high, packet loss exceeds .1%, distances are greater than 300 kilometers and when data migration applications have to move massive amounts of data across the WAN. DRO isn't normally a good choice when the bandwidth to ROBOs is relatively "skinny" (typically 1.5 Mb/sec or less), there's no quantifiable packet loss and the distances are very short. DRO also isn't a good choice if the amount of data moved over the WAN is light or insignificant, such as Web applications.
Skinny pipe TCP WAN optimization plus WAFS
Skinny pipe TCP WAN optimization and WAFS are often features and functions of the same WAN optimization controller. Skinny pipes are defined as bandwidth less than 5Mb/sec; typically, they have a bandwidth of 1.5Mb/sec (T1) or less. Skinny pipe TCP WAN optimization is functionally similar to DRO; the key difference--and it's not a trivial one--is the size of the bandwidth pipe. Algorithms and techniques that work with fat pipes don't work nearly as well with skinny pipes and vice versa. Skinny pipe TCP WAN optimization has effective data throughput results similar to DRO.
Vendor methods vary, with widely differing results depending on the data. In general, vendors use some combination of deduplication, compression, sequence caching, TCP and UDP acceleration, bandwidth management, multithreading, quality of service (QoS) and path optimization.
WAFS goes a step further by providing acceleration for specific applications such as CAD/CAM, print, Web caching, e-mail, DBMS or enterprise resource planning. The combination of skinny pipe WAN optimization plus WAFS is an outstanding way to centralize ROBO data. One way WAFS radically improves the performance of some of these apps is by reducing the application protocol's "chattiness."
The Common Internet File System (CIFS) is an excellent example of a very chatty application protocol that requires numerous commands for every transaction. Each command creates a roundtrip from the initiator to the target and back, with each roundtrip adding latency (delay) to the transaction. Latency increases exponentially as distance increases because of the cumulative effect of all the roundtrips. WAFS turns around the CIFS commands locally and stacks them so that most or all of the commands required in the transaction traverse the pipe at the same time. ROBO performance increases by "orders of magnitude," allowing many ROBO applications and their associated storage to be centralized and consolidated in the primary data center.
Skinny pipe TCP WAN optimization plus WAFS is an excellent choice when there are quite a few ROBOs, the bandwidth to the ROBOs is less than 5Mb/sec and performance comparable to that of locally hosted applications for ROBO users is important. Skinny pipe TCP WAN optimization plus WAFS isn't a good choice when the amount of data moved between locations is very large or for laptop mobile users.
Distributed ROBO backup to disk
Distributed ROBO backup to disk is the first data protection technology designed specifically for ROBOs. It has been around for nearly 20 years, but the technology has only recently been available for license by end users. Distributed ROBO backup to disk protects data for a wide variety of operating systems in servers, desktops and laptops that range in size from a single user to hundreds of users. To do that effectively, these backup products or data services need to be more efficient than traditional backup or replication technologies, and easier to use. Most of the products provide multiple point-in-time data versions similar to continuous data protection (CDP) products.
The ROBO WAN efficiency comes from deduplication (locally and globally), transmission of delta changes and compression of the remaining data. Distributed ROBO backup-to-disk data is deduped across the WAN in flight and at rest. DRO, skinny pipe and WAFS data is only deduped in flight. In addition, local deduplication takes place at the ROBO location, while global deduplication takes place at the central data center site. Global deduplication removes the duplicates among all of the ROBO sites.
The significantly reduced protected data will usually make disk storage less expensive than backing up to tape. In fact, there's no need for tape, tape libraries or virtual tape. Recoveries to the ROBO are also a great deal faster since the data comes directly from disk. For archiving, backups can be moved to tape or optical media as the protected data ages.
Distributed ROBO backup to disk is available from the following vendors: Asigra Inc., EMC Corp./Avamar Technologies, EVault Inc., Iron Mountain Inc., Signiant Inc. and Symantec Corp. (see "Distributed ROBO backup-to-disk product comparison"). Distributed ROBO backup to disk is an excellent choice when data protection is the primary issue or there are numerous mobile users. It's not a good choice when the primary ROBO issue is performance when working with centralized data center applications.
Centralizing ROBO applications and their data at the primary data center has enormous economies of scale. To do so effectively also requires implementing technologies that eliminate TCP WAN transmission issues. When an organization contemplates how it will centralize distributed ROBO data, it must first determine which applications will be centralized and the application's required performance. It's possible, and in many cases highly likely, that multiple technologies should be deployed to meet the organizations needs.

The Class of 2008 Inductees:
A freshman would have a difficult time making a bigger impression than Steve Camara (Southeastern Massachusetts University '77) did to the Corsair baseball team in 1973. A year out of pitching at Fall River's Durfee High, Camara walked into Coach Bruce Wheeler's baseball program and posted a 6-0 mark in his first season. Camara continued to carry the load for the Corsairs throughout his four-year career, setting several pitching records, including one that stands out more than 32 years after his final game. Camara holds the UMass Dartmouth career record for shutouts with nine, while also holding second in both career strikeouts (220) and complete games (22) and is third in career starts (37). What isn't apparent in the record books was Camara's competitiveness. During an era when then SMU traveled throughout the region and beyond playing Division I and II schools, Camara's performance against the University of Maryland in 1976 stands out. After the Corsairs took an early 1-0 lead, only to go on to lose 18-1 in the first game of a doubleheader, it was left to Camara to salvage the day. He responded with a one-hit shutout (the hit deflected off his glove) to lift his team to a doubleheader split. In his nomination letter, teammate Steve Taber wrote, "Steve was a true competitor in every sense of the word. When Steve took the mound, we always knew we had a very good chance to win and most of the time we did."
As part of Bob Dowd's track and field program which produced a handful of national champion, countless All-America selections and several candidates for the Corsair Hall of Fame, Dale Whiting (Southeastern Massachusetts University '85) accomplished a rare feat during his collegiate track and field career. Whiting was the first Division III student-athlete from New England to ever win the All-New England Outdoor Decathlon Championship. Competing against the best track athletes from all divisions in the region, Whiting won the New England championship and advanced to the NCAA Division III Championships. He also won a second New England Division title during his career. Twenty-four years after establishing the UMass Dartmouth decathlon record of 6,452 points, Whiting's mark still stands among the record-setting performances by UMass Dartmouth track and field athletes. Since the Olympic decathlon champion is often considered the "best all-around athlete in the world," the argument could be made that Dale Whiting is the best all-around athlete to ever represent this institution. According to his long-time track and field coach Bob Dowd, "Dale Whiting's athletic performance in ten events, ranging from running to throwing to jumping to vaulting, over a two-day period is one of the best overall athletic efforts I ever witnessed in my coaching experience."
Bill Casey (UMass Dartmouth '96) is the first Corsair football player to be inducted into the Corsair Hall of Fame in the 20-year history of the sport at UMass Dartmouth. In his first season Casey did everything asked of him, playing wide receiver, defensive back and special teams. Casey took his first snaps at quarterback late in his freshman year and was the starter as a sophomore. By the end of his career he had led the Corsairs to their first championship season and post-season experience. As a sophomore, Casey was the Corsairs' second-leading scorer with nine touchdowns, rushing for 560 yards as UMass Dartmouth posted a 5-3 mark in 1993. Casey's junior year was the breakout campaign for Corsair football as Casey led them to a then-school record of 8-3, a share of the New England Football Conference title, and an invitation to the ECAC North-West Bowl game. Casey was the NEFC First Team All-Star quarterback and first player in school history to rush for 1,000 yards in season when he picked up 1,123 yards. Casey led the NEFC in total offense with 164.3 yards per game, and threw for nine touchdowns and another 611 yards. In his senior season, Casey rushed for 493 yards, threw for another 561 yards, scored three touchdowns and threw for five more. For his career, Casey finished with 2,202 yards rushing, an average of 4.3 yards per carry, 22 touchdowns, 18 TD passes, 10 pass receptions, and two interceptions. For his career, he accounted for 4, 299 yards of total offense. Casey's accomplishments are many but one of his records will live forever in NCAA football history. Casey tied an NCAA record with a 99-yard run from scrimmage in a 13-0 win over Norwich in 1995.
Maura McDonald (UMass Dartmouth '99) finished her four-year collegiate career by competing in the 1999 NCAA Division III National Track and Field Championships. A national championship qualification was a fitting end to a career which spanned five years with competition in both cross country and track and field. McDonald's accomplishments are numerous and distinguished, having achieved regional and national success in both events. McDonald was the 1996 Little East Conference cross country champion, while helping her team to the LEC title. She was LEC runner up in 1998, also earning All-New England Regional Team honors that same year. During the outdoor track season of 1998, McDonald posted the LEC record in the 3000 meters, a mark that still stands at 10:57.09. Her best year in track was 1999 when she set the LEC outdoor record in the 5000, took second indoors, earning Div III All-New England Honors and was the ECAC Indoor champion at 5000 meters, posting a personal best 17:30. She qualified for the 1999 NCAA Div. III Indoor nationals, placed seventh nationally, and earned New England Alliance championships at both 1500 and 1000 meters. In total, she earned four LEC conference championships indoors and two more outdoors. In the UMass Dartmouth track and field record book, McDonald has seven top-six records, her best is second all-time in the 1500 meters and a pair of thirds in the indoor 1000 and outdoor 5000 meters.
Mike Lane's (UMass Dartmouth '02) name is prominent in UMass Dartmouth's record books, holding four individual records more than 10 years after his last collegiate competition. A four-time NCAA Division III All-America, Lane's best finish was a second place in the 200-yard Breast at the 1997 NCAA Division III championships along with three other top-eight national championship race finishes. During the 1997 season, Lane rewrote the Corsair record book in the breast stroke, establishing school records in the 50 (26.58), 100 (56.89) and 200 (2:03.35), while also setting the record for the 100 IM (54.63). Lane was a three-time New England Intercollegiate champion and record holder while going undefeated in dual meet competition in eight individual events. Lane's collegiate swimming career is only part of a body of competitive work that has spanned almost his entire life. He has over twenty years of competitive swimming experience. During that time, Lane was a 16-time All-American and a 5-time national individual and relay champion in collegiate and masters' swimming. At the age of 35, Lane was a finalist at the 2006 Speedo Sectional Championships in both breaststroke events. In the summer of 2006 at the Final Masters World Championships he took three individual top-five places and three relay top-three finishes including a World and American record-breaking finish in the 200-medley relay.
The 1997-98 UMass Dartmouth ice hockey team was represented by (front row, left to right) Jon Ruel, Nick Siciliano, Brian Keavaney, Coach Rolli, Jim Egan, Jeramie DiBona, Chris Cunningham and Shawn Alles. Standing in the rear are (l-r) Rainer John Burke, Kim Clarke, Ryan Sloper, Mark Aguiar, Steve Bartkus, Bob Marrone, Jared DiBona and Jamie DiBona.
In 34 ice hockey seasons at UMass Dartmouth, the record for most victories in a four-year span belongs to the senior class of 1998. Their overall record of 92-14-2 (.861 winning percentage) produced three ECAC championships in four years with only an overtime loss in 1996 preventing a four-year sweep. The 1997-98 Corsair Ice Hockey Team capped that great run with a 22-5 overall record and a third league championship. Coach John Rolli's team finished the season with a 4-2 ECAC North/Central/South championship game victory at St. Michael's College, their third straight road victory in the tournament. Defenseman Kayne Beaudry selected as the game's Most Outstanding Player, scored the game-winner late in the first period. Goalie Ryan Sloper completed a solid playoff run with 23 saves for the victory, his third in as many games. Captain Steve Bartkus and Beaudry were ECAC Central All-League selections as well as New England Hockey Writers Division III All-Stars. Bartkus was the team's leading scorer (28-30-58), with Jim Egan second (21-21-42), followed by Jamie DiBona (20-17-37) and Pat Shultz (17-19-36). Sloper and Louis Weimann shared the Corsairs' goaltending duties as Sloper posted an 11-3 record with one shutout, a 3.80 GAA and a .892 saves percentage, while Weimann was 10-2 with a 3.87 GAA and a .880 saves percentage. Bartkus and Schultz placed their names in the Corsair record books. Bartkus set power play records for both a season (13) and career (29). Schultz set shorthanded goal records for a single-season (seven) and career (8).

CALGARY - Alberta's Wildrose party says it will expand the scope of a judicial health inquiry to include allegations of doctor intimidation and queue jumping.
Wildrose leader Danielle Smith says it is important to make sure past mistakes are not repeated.
She accuses Premier Alison Redford's government of not just breaking its promise of holding a full inquiry - she says it shattered it.
Smith told reporters in Calgary that a Wildrose government would be bound to the recommendations of a full inquiry into allegations raised by the Health Quality Council report.
She said it is time to get to the bottom of what is ailing the entire health care system.
The report blamed the Conservative government for taking a struggling hospital system and running it off the road, which led to widespread intimidation of doctors who complained about the deteriorating patient care.
This is the second health care announcement for Wildrose which last week promised to send patients out of province or out of country if the procedures for 10 critical health procedures weren't performed within an allotted amount of time.

Iannetta's contract includes opt-out if traded before 2013
DENVER — Chris Iannetta's three-year, $8.35-million contract with the Rockies includes what is becoming a common team loyalty clause.
In order to receive security and some peace of mind, Iannetta took a little less on his deal, which buys him out of his final three years of arbitration and includes a 2013 club option for $5 million in his first season of free agency. However, if Iannetta is traded any time before the 2013 season, he can void the club option and become a free agent. Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and Brad Hawpe have identical provisions in their contracts.
"Hopefully this contract will help Chris relax. We all know how talented he is," Tulowitzki said.
According to information obtained by The Denver Post, Iannetta's contract, first reported here, breaks down thusly:
2010: $1.75M with $250,000 advanced as a signing bonus
His base in the 2012 season can increase by $450,000 if he starts 140 games in either of the previous seasons. There are smaller escalators beginning with 100 starts.
Miguel Olivo's defense has received mixed reviews during his career. He is known for having a cannon arm, but the Royals struggled with passed balls and wild pitches last season. Royals pitching coach Bob McClure said today that Olivo improved last season and took seriously his preparation with the pitchers, a necessity if he's going to work well with Rockies manager Jim Tracy. "He's very athletic and can be as good as he wants to be defensively," McLure said.
