We have attached cam buckle straps to the rings sewn onto the middle and top of the bag, to make it even easier to solidly secure this bag in the cavity of your raft and to hold it there, even if the raft flips!
We designed this bag to take the drudgery out of loading and unloading dry bags and gear on long rafting trips.
A 16' drawrope bag closes around the gear. The 65" wide/48" front-to-back lid clamps down over the drawrope bag top. The mesh from our 476/44 Cargo Floor serves as the bottom of the bag (44"wide/38" front-to-back).

Rest, breathe deeply
Wick's World
My next career may be as a professional football player in the NFL. I took my first steroids today. I'm also sporting one of those nasal strips that open the nostrils for easy breathing. You know the kind, that black stripe on a football player's nose that gives them an angry bulldog look. I bought the flesh colored ones so there would be no confusion as to my occupation while parading around in public, although I have never been mistaken for an NFL linebacker before.
The steroid use is actually the result of taking care of a stupid mistake. It's also the result of another casualty from the ill-advised train trip back from the West Coast. Someone on the tight quarters of the Empire Builder Train from Seattle to St. Paul cursed me with a few nasty microbes to the lungs. After ignoring the consequences of this disaster waiting to happen, seven weeks later I finally went to my doctor. I was diagnosed with a case of "walking pneumonia." Two weeks later, following an excursion into the mountains of northern Arizona, I returned home with what I called "flat on your back pneumonia."
I cannot sit still. I cannot rest and lay around in the name of recuperation although it is rather apparent that this is what was required. Unfortunately, things had gotten so bad recently that I had no other choice. When I could no longer climb the five steps up to my house without huffing and puffing like the big, bad wolf trying to blow down a pig's house, it was obvious I had to do something about this serious breathing problem. Everything I read alerted me to the dangers of pneumonia for those ages 65 and over. I didn't have to check a calendar to realize the implications of this.
So I finally returned for more doctoring at an urgent care facility in Eagan where a young physician packed me full of steroids, expectorant, an even stronger antibiotic than the one I originally had and a bottle of industrial strength cough syrup.
After taking a quick look at me she said, "You obviously need some sleep and rest. This stuff should do it."
She was right. Last night I got as close to eight hours of sleep as I had in months. I woke up feeling like a million bucks. Well, maybe that is stretching it a bit, but let's says that I finally felt somewhat rested. My lungs are beginning to clear up, I finally quit hacking up blood and I can actually take a deep breath.
Now I have to face the same demon that got me in this trouble in the first place, the inability to just sit. Today I feel like I could take on the world, although my body and mind are telling me different.
One of my businesses has been prospering at a record setting pace. While December and the holiday season was likely to be my best month ever, I find myself trapped in a recliner, taking pills and watching re-runs of "Pawn Stars" and "American Pickers." It's not that I really need the money. It is more the challenge and satisfaction of accomplishment. It sure beats the life of a couch potato, but maybe I can find the goose that lay the golden egg somewhere among the rusted junk piles and pawn shops of America.

We've never been huge fans of touchpads; call us old-fashioned, but we just like the feel of a mouse in our hand. But we also understand the aversion to carrying one more thing with your laptop.
Geniusnet has addressed at least part of that problem with the "Genius Navigator 380," a combination VoIP phone, instant-message device and optical mouse released in India.
While being used as a mouse, the closed clamshell handset can still ring or its LED will blink when someone is trying to reach you. It supports up to six instant messengers simultaneously in one window. But if you've got more than one mouse lying around, don't forget which one is the phone; it could be embarrassing trying to answer the wrong one.

The Groom's Revenge
Some groom's cakes really make you wonder: what did the bride do to the guy to deserve this?
Why? Uhh...well, honestly, because the groom just slipped me a twenty."
As we all know, nothing says, "Look!! A dead deer!" quite like an edible photo of - waaaait for it - a dead deer.
(The lasciviously winking Spongebob isn't helping, either.)
Oh, of course. I'm curious, though: Did the lawnmower take all his toenails, too?
Wait, don't answer that; I feel some dry heaves coming on.
Solli S., Amanda, & Anony M., that little piggy's gonna go "wee wee wee!" all the way through my nightmares tonight. [shudder]

(Reuters) - A federal judge on Thursday refused to dismiss most of a lawsuit against Google Inc over allegations the company improperly scanned the content of customers' emails in order to place ads.
U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose, California ruled that the proposed class action lawsuit against Google can proceed. She rejected Google's argument that its users had consented to having their email read for the purposes of targeted advertising.
"We're disappointed in this decision and are considering our options," Google spokesman Matt Kallman said in an email.
Litigation brought by nine plaintiffs, some Gmail users, some not, was consolidated before Koh earlier this year. The plaintiffs maintain Google violated several laws, including federal anti-wiretapping statutes by systematically crossing the "creepy line" to read private email messages in order to profit, according to court documents.
Google moved to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing in part that the plaintiffs had consented to the scanning when they agreed to Google's terms of service. Koh disagreed.
"Nothing in the policies suggests that Google intercepts email communication in transit between users, and in fact, the policies obscure Google's intent to engage in such interceptions," the judge wrote.
Koh did dismiss two claims brought by the plaintiffs but gave them an opportunity to refile them with additional facts.
The case in U.S. District Court, Northern District of California is In Re: Google Inc. Gmail Litigation, 13-md-2430.

$x^y = y^x$ for integers $x$ and $y$
I obtained a question asking for how to solve $\large x^y = y^x$. The given restraints was that $x$ and $y$ were both positive integers. By a bit of error an trial we quickly see that $x=2$ and $y=4$ is one solution.
- My question is: How do one show that $(2\,,\,4)$ is the only non trivial, positive solution to the equation?
Now my initial approach was as follows: We have
$$\large x^y = y^x$$
The trivial solution is obviously when $y=x$, so let us focus on when $y \neq x$. Let us make a more general statement. Firstly I take the log of both sides
$$\large y \log x = x \log y $$
Let us divide by x and \log x (We now assume $x\neq 0$ and $x\neq 1$ since 0 is not a positive number, and 1 gives us a trivial solution)
$$\large \frac{y}{x} = \frac{\log y }{\log x}$$
For these sides to be equal, we must remove the logarithms on the right hand side, this is achived if $y$ is on the form $x^a$. Now This gives
$$\large \frac{x^a}{x} = \frac{\log \left(x^a\right) }{\log(x)}$$
$$\large x^{a-1} = a$$
So finaly we obtain that $ \displaystyle \large x=\sqrt[ a-1]{a}$ and $\displaystyle \large y = \sqrt[a-1]{a^a}$
Now setting $a=2$ gives us $x = 2$ and $y=4$ as desired.
My question is, how do we prove that $x=2$ and $y=4$ is the only integer solutions? My thought was to show that $ \displaystyle \large \sqrt[ a-1]{a}$ and $\displaystyle \large \sqrt[a-1]{a^a}$ are both irrational when a>2, but I have not been able to show this.
Any help is greatly appreciated, cheers =)

In less than a year, health care for veterans in Eastern Carolina will drastically change.
That's because a new Veterans Administration health care center will open in Greenville next January.
The new VA facility on Moye Boulevard will be considerably larger and offer streamlined care that's now closer to home.
The 116,000 square foot building will replace the 18,000 square foot facility less than a mile away.
Once it opens, the VA will offer expanded services like women's health, cardiology, audiology, orthopedics, optometry, dental, radiology and complete personalized care.
The new center, which is 48% complete, will also have outpatient services. It will employ about 300 people and will begin hiring at the end of the year.
The VA will pay $3.8 million a year, and then after 20 years it will own the facility.
To begin the process to apply for one of the 300 jobs, click on the link below.
V.A. Administrators say you can begin your application on-line and request to receive alerts about Greenville jobs on their website.

A year ago, news of Detroit's dire financial situation was rattling planners who'd booked conventions and events in the city.There were concerns about whether city services would be up to par as it attempted to work through its financial emergency and the general outlook for the region's hospitality, tourism and corporate meetings business.But planners looking for a place to host events are also very interested in the other story happening here: new commercial development, including new hotels and newly renovated hotels. In fact, in the hospitality world, Detroit has buzz.
Feeding the buzz: Auto show brings event planners to city for hospitality pitch

Nearly 60 people from around the country — 30 national event planners and their guests — are expected in town Friday to attend the Charity Preview of the North American International Auto Show.That's twice as many planners who came to the city for that event in 2013, or even in 2012, at the invitation of their hosts, the Detroit Marriott Renaissance Center and Cobo Center. Among those attending this year are planners for meeting management companies that have multiple clients, said Thom Connors, general manager of Cobo and regional vice president of its management company, SMG."So many of the clients we approach are one-offs. They come and then come back in another decade or so," said Connors. But showing off Cobo, the Marriott and the city to planners who represent multiple clients could pay dividends, he said. Also on the guest list are a few planners who've recently booked events for 2014 and beyond. Inviting them is a new strategy, Connors said. It gives the planners still considering Detroit for their events "the opportunity to not just hear the sales pitch from us, but to interact with professional colleagues who've committed ... to compare notes on the advantages of Detroit and Cobo," he said. Rooting interest People are pulling for Detroit, said Larry Alexander, chairman of the Detroit Regional Convention Facility Authority and president of the Detroit Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau."There's been such national attention surrounding the (city's) bankruptcy. However, we have used it to our advantage," he said. The city's bankruptcy is separate from Cobo's governing authority, for example, and planners are interested in learning about private investment in the city, including new hotels, new restaurants, and new office spaces. Planners "want to see Detroit return again to be as strong as it once was. ... They're willing to help us by booking conventions and events, by coming in and giving us a chance to show them the development that's taking place here," Alexander said.There are renovations, restorations and development projects for a number of hotels within walking distance of Cobo. The Crowne Plaza Detroit Downtown Convention Center, formerly the Hotel Pontchartrain, reopened in July after a $5 million renovation. The state's largest hotel, the Detroit Marriott Renaissance Center, plans to begin a $30 million renovation in February. Also under new ownership with renovations planned is the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Detroit Downtown on Washington Boulevard.
New hotels under development include the Aloft Detroit, as part of an $82 million restoration of the David Whitney Building, and there are plans to convert the historic Firehouse No. 1, across from Cobo, into a boutique Detroit-centric hotel.Cobo and the Detroit Marriott have hosted the group of planners for the Charity Preview for the past five years. But this year, they targeted their invitations to planners who've expressed a strong interest in Detroit or recently booked conventions or other events "so they can see the building in action," Connors said.Showing off the city Cobo and the Detroit Marriott are combining the Charity Preview and the planners' visit to Studio 25, the inaugural afterglow hosted by the Detroit Auto Dealers Association in Cobo's new Grand Riverview Ballroom immediately following the preview, with a site inspection of the city, said Judy Booth, the Marriott's sales and marketing director."Not only do they get to go to a great event and see how the city puts on an event, they also get to experience the city as a convention destination." Planners are scheduled to tour downtown with D:hive, eat at area restaurants and attend a Detroit Red Wings game Saturday. Some will stay until Monday, Booth said. "These folks have business for Marriott and Cobo, but in most cases, the events they are looking to book are large, citywide programs that would bring business to most of the downtown hotels, as well," she said.
The Detroit Marriott and Cobo split the costs of hosting the planners and their guests, Booth said, noting the amount of that investment varies from year to year."The ROI on this is huge," she said. Retail ticket prices for Charity Preview tickets are $350 a person this year, and another $150 a person for the Studio 25 afterglow. "For Cobo's and Marriott's investment, it's well worth it, because one event can (bring) millions of dollars of economic impact for the city." The real "proof of the pudding" that planner interest in Detroit is rising is the increased number of events booked at Cobo this year, Connors said. Fourteen citywide events are slated at Cobo in 2014, he said, up from six last year. This year's events are either new, like the Automotive Service Association's conference and expo July 31-Aug. 2, or are returning after a long hiatus, like the Society of Manufacturing Engineers' trade show and conference in June.Discussions for the SME's return to Cobo began during a previous-year gathering of planners during the Charity Preview, Connors said. And two of the planners who attended last year's Charity Preview have booked events in Detroit so far for their clients: Michigan DECA, the association of high school business students, coming in March, and Pentecostal Assemblies of the World Inc., bringing its annual gathering in 2014 and 2015."I have many clients and top-level executives coming to see what the buzz is about with Detroit," said Carla Aho, vice president of global accounts for Birmingham-based ConferenceDirect, a global events management and hospitality company."I've been yelling from the rooftops: 'You can't read about it; you need to experience it!'." What better event to highlight the city than the Charity Preview of the auto show, Aho said. "I pitch Detroit because they work hard to win the business."

Bloomsburg University must respond to the demands of a rapidly changing job market and shifting demographics. Bloomsburg must develop academic and co-curricular programs that support student retention, graduation and personal and career success. Facilities, services and personnel must align with student needs.
Ten years ago, job opportunities did not exist for green energy experts, Web content managers or mobile phone application developers. In 2000, Bloomsburg University was not yet offering a major in computer forensics or a career concentration in fraud examination. Today, employment opportunities are abundant in these fields and others not known a decade ago.
The average person may change careers five to seven times in a lifetime, so a current student may eventually work in a field that does not exist today. To prepare Bloomsburg University students for current and emerging careers and professions, all academic degree programs will be built upon the arts and humanities through a 21st century general education program that provides students with the breadth of knowledge, critical thinking skills and quantitative reasoning skills essential for success. Within the constraints of the university's capacity for facilities, programs and services, the institution will anticipate the needs of a changing job market, meet the shifting career interests of incoming students and provide educational opportunities in high-demand fields. The direction for these initiatives will come from a comprehensive enrollment management plan.
The plan will identify enrollment goals and strategies for attracting highly qualified students from traditionally underrepresented, non-traditional and underserved communities. To enhance retention efforts, Bloomsburg University will augment academic services, support services and existing initiatives. Annual reviews will determine student satisfaction and success.
To design an enrollment vision, Bloomsburg University will:

NEWTOWN, Conn., Jan. 1 (UPI) -- Sandy Hook students and staff begin classes for the first time Thursday since the deadly Dec. 14 rampage at the Newtown, Conn., elementary school.
Donna Page, who retired as principal of Sandy Hook Elementary School two years ago, will assume her old job in the wake of the massacre that left 20 students and six staff members dead, including Principal Dawn Hochsprung, dead, ABC reported.
Classrooms are being set up at Chalk Hill Middle School in Monroe, about six miles from Newtown.
"Be assured that the towns of Monroe and Newtown are working night and day to ensure the facility is safe, secure, and fully operational for our return," Page wrote on the school's website.
"I want to reassure you that we understand many parents may need to be near their children on their first day(s) of school and you will be welcome."
The new classrooms will be filled with furniture and supplies taken from Sandy Hook so the classrooms will look familiar to the students.
Chalk Hill will be open Wednesday to allow children and parents to take a preview, The Hartford Courant reported.
Newtown schools Superintendent Janet Robinson said parents are comfortable with the choice of Chalk Hill, which was completely retrofitted for the younger children, although it will take buses a little longer to get children there.

Are Katharine McPhee + Husband Reuniting After Cheating Scandal?
Former 'American Idol' and 'Smash' star Katharine McPhee grabbed headlines last fall when she was seen making out in public with 'Smash' director Michael Morris. Both McPhee and Morris were married to other people at the time. What's the latest?
Although the 'Idol' alum was said to be already separated from her spouse, it was a scandalous smooch sesh. Fast-forward five months and McPhee and her estranged ex Nick Cokas are said to be attempting to work things out.
A McPhee insider told TMZ that the actress and singer is working overtime to fix her marriage to Cokas, nearly 20 years her senior. They aren't living together currently, but they have been spending more time in on each other's company.
She even bought her cuckolded hubby a brand new Rolex. That's some apology gift right there. It's usually the dude buying expensive jewelry for his lady love.
Cokas is said to be open to taking his wayward ex back. The two were married for five years but split five months before news of the cheating scandal broke in October. Morris, for his part, is married to actress Mary McCormack, with whom he has three children. She gave him the boot when the story broke. It was a hot topic for a week and then died out.

Abbas sponsors birthday celebrations honoring terrorist Dalal Mughrabi, killer of 37
by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik
Dec. 31, 2009
This week Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas once again honored the memory of the terrorist Dalal Mughrabi - this time by sponsoring a ceremony celebrating the 50th anniversary of her birth. Mughrabi led the most lethal terror attack in Israel's history in 1978, when she and other terrorists hijacked a bus and killed 37 civilians. Present at the ceremony were Palestinian dignitaries and a children's marching band. Earlier this year, Abbas sponsored a computer center named after Mughrabi.
The PA further glorified Mughrabi on the date of her birth when the Governor of Ramallah announced the naming of the "Dalal Mughrabi Square".
An article by Fatah spokesman Jamal Nazal in the official PA daily defined the terrorist Mughrabi as "the heroine of Palestine's heroines."
Al-Hayat Al-Jadida
, Dec. 30, 2009]

The text on the giant banner carrying Mughrabi's portrait at the birthday ceremony read:
"Under the auspices of President Mahmoud Abbas
The Political and National Education Authority
Ceremony on the anniversary of the birth of the bride of the cosmos
(Martyr) Dalal Mughrabi."
Two PA TV news broadcasts focused on the celebration:
"Under the auspices of President Mahmoud Abbas, the Political and National Education Authority held a ceremony marking the 50th anniversary of the
(Martyr) Dalal Mughrabi, commander of the Coastal Operation (i.e. hijacking of bus and killing of 37 civilians)."
[PA TV (Fatah), Dec. 29, 2009]
These are not isolated examples of public glorification of terrorists in the PA. The PA has a strong tradition of using terrorists as role models -- especially for children -- by naming public places, facilities and events after them. Dalal Mughrabi, who is not known for anything other than her murderous terror attack, is one of the prominent examples of a terrorist who is promoted as a worthy and desirable role model.
The following are named after, or have been named after Dalal Mughrabi in the last two years:
1- Education: Two PA Dalal Mughrabi Girls High Schools
2- Education: The
(Martyr) Dalal Mughrabi Computer Center
3- Education: School graduation ceremony named after Mughrabi
4- Sports: Two
(Martyr) Dalal Mughrabi summer camps
5- Sports: The Dalal Mughrabi Football Championship
6- Municipality: The Dalal Mughrabi Square in El-Bireh, Ramallah region
Two Palestinian Schools:
1. The Dalal Mughrabi Girls High School - Gaza
2. The Dalal Mughrabi Girls High School - A-Shuyoukh [Hebron]
Al-Hayat Al-Jadida
(Fatah), Feb. 26, 2006]
Education: Computer Center
"Yesterday the Hebron Building Committee inaugurated a computer center named after the Shahida (Martyr) Dalal Mughrabi. Present at the event were President Mahmoud Abbas's advisor for communications and information technology... The center, which was funded by a contribution from the President's Office..."
, May 5, 2009]
Palestinian School Graduation Ceremony:
: "The Taffuh Association for Higher Education honors the [students] who succeeded in the matriculation exams"
Yesterday, the Taffuh Association for Higher Education organized a ceremony in honor of the students who finished the general high school successfully… [The ceremony was held] under the auspices of the President Mahmoud Abbas, and named after Martyr (
) Dalal Mughrabi… Samih Al-Sayfi, the commander of the region and the representative of the President, wished the successful students a brilliant future… and reviewed the heroic life of Martyr Dalal Mughrabi and the course of the struggle and sacrifice of the Fatah movement."
Al-Hayat Al-Jadida
(Fatah), July 24, 2008]
Palestinian Summer Camp (1):
"A summer camp in the name of the Shahida (Martyr) Dalal Mughrabi was opened... by the Fatah movement... out of honor and admiration for the Shahida (Martyr)..."
Al-Hayat Al-Jadida
(Fatah), July 23, 2008]
Palestinian Summer Camp (2):
"The activities of the [summer] camp are organized with the support of the Palestinian Center for Dissemination of Democracy & Community Development... [with] teams which carry names with a national and historical significance, and names of Shahids... the camp activities are dedicated to the memory of two Shahids (Martyrs), Dalal Mughrabi and Azmi Saghir."
, July 22, 2008]
Sports: Football tournament
"Islami Silwan Club wins the Dalal Mughrabi Championship for youth... [for children] born in 1996 - the Islami Silwan Club, won the Dalal Mughrabi Football Championship, organized by the Hilal Al-Quds Club, along with five teams from the different [sports] clubs of the Jerusalem region."
Al-Hayat Al-Jadida
(Fatah), Aug. 5, 2008]
"[The Governor of Ramallah] announced the naming of a square after the Shahida (Martyr) Dalal Mughrabi, adjacent to the headquarters of the Political and National Education Authority... in order to eternalize her memory."
Al-Hayat Al-Jadida
(Fatah), Dec. 30, 2009]
In addition, Mughrabi is regularly honored at many official events throughout the year. At the opening ceremony of Fatah's Sixth General Conference this summer, Fatah leaders responded with applause when former PA Prime Minister Abu Alaa (Ahmad Qurei) honored Mughrabi:
"We have in our midst the hero Khaled Abu-Usbah, hero of the operation [terror attack] led by the Shahida (Martyr) Dalal Mughrabi [applause from the audience]. We salute him and welcome him. And [we salute] the hero, the Shahida (Martyr) Dalal. [He shouts:] All the glory! All the glory! All the glory! All the sisters here are Dalal's sisters."

This past year PA TV also celebrated the 31st anniversary of Mughrabi's terror attack with an hour-long TV special about the attack. The program opened with the narrator glorifying the attack as:
"One of the most important and most prominent special actions, executed by the Palestinian revolution by sea, on the coast between Haifa and Tel Aviv. This action, carried out by a group of heroes and led by the heroic fighter Dalal Mughrabi."

Men's Basketball Schedule Features Record TV Appearances, Key Matchups
Related Links
NEWPORT NEWS, Va.—The 2014-15 Atlantic 10 men's basketball conference schedule features a record-setting 96 total television games and a record 75 national games. Every game of the 2015 Men's Basketball Championship, 71 conference matchups, plus 12 non-conference games will be televised for a total of 83 regular-season TV games. The schedule and the conference television package were announced Wednesday by the A-10.
The second year of the conference's eight-year media television partnership spotlights 75 games on one of the Atlantic 10's three national media partners, ESPN, CBS Sports Network and NBCSN. In addition, the A-10 Network will produce a selection of 14 games in conjunction with New York-based SNY and other regional sports outlets. The A-10 will also partner with Campus Insiders for seven games on CI's digital platform.
CBS Sports, NBCSN and the A-10 Network will combine to carry all 13 Men's Basketball Championship games, with the championship final airing on CBS Sports for the sixth straight year as part of the network's Selection Sunday coverage.
"We are proud we've been able to once again grow our television offerings and allow our fans throughout the country to watch Atlantic 10 men's basketball," stated Commissioner Bernadette V. McGlade. "Our three national media partners ESPN, CBS Sports and NBCSN, in conjunction with SNY and Campus Insiders give us a diverse media distribution platform on which we can showcase the strength of Atlantic 10 men's basketball."
Seven teams will have nine or more national TV games and 73 of the 83 regular season games will feature at least one team that participated in the 2014 postseason. Seven of the league's 14 current members participated in the postseason last year, with all seven of those reaching 20 wins or better.
Conference play begins the weekend of Jan. 3 with 12 of the 14 teams tipping off the season that Saturday with five nationally televised games. This includes an NBCSN Saturday triple header that features the first Conference game for league newcomer Davidson against Richmond. The next day, Fordham will host VCU on CBS Sports Network to complete the conference openers. Saint Joseph's and VCU will play a rematch of the 2014 A-10 title game on Jan. 10 at VCU. That game will air on CBS Sports Network. Elite Eight participant Dayton and 2013 champion Saint Louis, the two teams that advanced in the 2014 NCAA Tournament, will play twice, first on Jan. 17 at Dayton on NBCSN as part of a second NBCSN triple header. The return game will at Saint Louis on Feb. 10 and will be aired by CBS Sports Network.
ESPN networks will air 14 A-10 games, including 11 conference contests as part of the league package. That includes two College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon games on Nov. 18 (Manhattan at Massachusetts, 11:00 am and Toledo at VCU, 6:00 pm). The bulk of ESPN games will come late in the season, with seven games slated for February and early March.
CBS Sports and CBS Sports Network will carry 28 total games, including the Men's Basketball Championship semifinals and final, 21 conference games and four non-conference matchups for a total of 28 games. CBS Sports Network will also produce and distribute ancillary programming focusing on the A-10 basketball programs and student-athletes as the season progresses.
NBCSN is slated to air 33 Atlantic 10 Conference games, including eight A-10 Championship second round and quarterfinal games and 22 conference games as part of the A-10 package. NBCSN will also air three non-conference contests.
In its second year, the A-10 Network will produce 14 total games that will be distributed across New York state, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Northeast Pennsylvania to over 12 million households on SNY as well as the home markets of the participating teams. The schedule includes 12 conference matchups and the two championship first round games on Wednesday, March 11, 2015.
Campus Insiders will carry seven games, five of which are conference matchups, along with two non-conference games, exclusively on CampusInsiders.com. Campus Insiders will also produce and air supplemental studio programming about Atlantic 10 men's basketball.
All 14 teams will advance to the 2015 Atlantic 10 Men's Basketball Championship at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. There are two first round games Wednesday, March 11, which air on the A-10 Network. Second round games will be played Thursday, March 12. The winners of those four games will advance to the quarterfinal round on Friday, March 13. Both the second round and quarterfinals air on NBCSN. Semifinal games will be played on CBS Sports Network Saturday, March 14 and the finals on NCAA Selection Sunday, March 15, which will air live on CBS Sports.
The three national media partners combine for over 200 million subscribers total subscribers nationwide. Atlantic 10 institutions reside in states that comprise 33.3 million television viewers, 28.8 percent of the total national market. There are eight A-10 institutions in the top 25 media markets in the country.

Our post "You Wanna Fly Where?!" generated good questions. The best way to start answering them is to begin with the paragraph that ended the last post:
"When an airline considers adding service from a small market, such as Springfield, to a big hub, it's not asking how many people want to fly from Springfield to that hub airport. It's asking how many people it can connect beyond the hub, and how much revenue will those connecting customers generate?"
Our air service consultant, Michael Boyd, puts it a bit differently:
"There are no markets, other than vacation-package markets, where Springfield has sufficient passenger demand to support non-stop service, without the support of the feed traffic that a connecting hub generates."
"Vacation-package markets" are those destinations served at our airport by Allegiant. Allegiant considers itself a travel company. Generally speaking, it flies from small markets, such as Springfield, to vacation destinations. Besides selling a plane ride, it also sells resort packages, rental car deals, etc.
Allegiant currently flies from Springfield several times a week to Phoenix, Las Vegas, Orlando, and Tampa/St. Pete. It flies seasonally from Springfield to Los Angeles and Punta Gorda/Ft. Myers. We talk to Allegiant on a regular basis about new destinations. Myrtle Beach and New Orleans are top of mind.
When Mike Boyd talks about "feed traffic that a connecting hub generates" he's getting back to what we wrote earlier: "... how much revenue will those connecting customers generate?"
In the current airline business environment there's only one hub city, that we don't have service to, where connecting customers (aka: "feed traffic") would generate a significant amount of airline revenue: Charlotte.
Charlotte service would be a good thing for Springfield customers. Flying to the Northeast from Springfield means taking connecting flights through Atlanta or Chicago O'Hare — two of the most congested airports in the country. Flights from Springfield to those two airports are frequently sold out. The addition of Charlotte flights would provide needed relief — it's the 8th largest airport in the country with dozens of connecting flights to Eastern cities, plus international non-stop flights to Canada, Western Europe, and South America.
We've been pursuing Charlotte service since 2010. The conversation began with US Airways. The airline's route planners agreed with our financial analysis. They basically said 'yes, the route would make money, but we can't commit right now because of a plane shortage and the general state of the economy.'
If that answer sounds evasive, it wasn't. When the recession began all the airlines began grounding planes to save money — that trend continues to this day. Bottom line: they didn't have any spare planes to devote to a Springfield-Charlotte route. And while they didn't say it, the planes they had in the air could make more money flying elsewhere.
Meanwhile, US Airways and America Airlines merged. As a result, we essentially had to restart the Charlotte conversation from scratch with the new American Airlines. That conversation continues to this day.
Several of you asked about the possibility of service to specific hub airports. Here's an overview …
What about service to Salt Lake City on Delta?
Delta is not growing its Salt Lake City hub. Departures are down 19% between 2009 and 2014 and seats are down 4%. Additionally, the distance between Springfield and Salt Lake is 1,028 miles, which means it's too for a 50-seat jet even if Delta weren't retiring the majority of the 50-seaters (more on retirements later). The plane that's the next step up has 66-70 seats and that would make it even more difficult to make the passenger revenue work.
What about service to Phoenix on American?
Maybe in the future but not now — American can make more money connecting Springfield customers to points west by using the Dallas hub. Additionally, Phoenix's hub status is uncertain in the aftermath of the US Air/American merger.
What about service to Philadelphia?
From the airline perspective it's more economical to connect Springfield passengers through Chicago O'Hare, or Atlanta. As with Phoenix, Philadelphia's hub status is uncertain in the aftermath of the US Air/American merger.
What about service to Houston on United?
It's been talked about but it would mean that United would have to compete with American's Dallas service for south bound traffic from Springfield.
What about service to New York City's Kennedy Airport?
Not going to happen. New York service could be in our distant future, but it would likely be to Newark Airport, not Kennedy.
What about service to Miami and Los Angeles?
The response from the airlines: you can already get to those places by connecting though Denver, Dallas, or Atlanta. Bottom line: those routes would be money losers from Springfield.
Patrick wanted to know if bigger planes are in Springfield's future (meaning bigger than 50-seat regional jets). They definitely are. The airlines are retiring those jets as fast as they can. We expect to see bigger planes from all three of our legacy airlines: American, Delta, and United. You can read more about it in this blog post from last August.

"Named for our very first intern, Caitlin Timson, who was a huge help when we began in 2012, Caitlin has a super soft seat and back cushions that you can melt into," say Alaina and Danielle. Indeed, its fully reversible cushion is made with soft, high-resilience foam wrapped in down, and its back cushions are constructed with a soft poly-down fill that allows you to fully sink in.
*Lumbar pillows shown in image above are included.
How We Measure
Our furniture measurements are calculated from each piece's widest or tallest points. Cushion overhang beyond the frame, the crown (highest point) on a fully fluffed seat cushion, and outward curves and angles are all included in the overall dimensions.

Khloe Kardashian is taking a shot at marriage with NBA star Lamar Odom.
The couple tied the knot on Sunday night, according to People, a month to the day the two first hit it off at a party for Lamar's new Los Angeles Lakers teammate, Ron Artest.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Khloe Kardashian
The two said "I do" in a ceremony attended by 250 guests, the mag reported. Held at the home of music manager Irving Azoff, an Access source on the scene spotted stars such as "Dancing With the Stars" competitor Kelly Osbourne, E!'s Ryan Seacrest, the Lakers' Kobe Bryant and coach Phil Jackson arriving at the nuptials on Sunday afternoon.
Sisters Kourtney and Kim served as Khloe's maids of honor, People reported, while stepfather Bruce Jenner walked her down the aisle.

The bride wore a Vera Wang dress.
The wedding was the cap on a whirlwind week for the recently engaged couple. On Tuesday, Khloe broke the news of the wedding on her blog, with bachelor and bachelorette parties following on Thursday night. The couple was also spotted stepping out for drinks at Playhouse Hollywood on Friday and reportedly held a rehearsal dinner at The Lobster in Santa Monica on Saturday night.
Although Khloe and Lamar first linked up on August 27, multiple sources report, the couple was first captured on camera by the paparazzi leaving the Beverly Hills restaurant STK on September 3.

The marriage is the first for Khloe, 25, and Lamar, 29, though the Los Angeles Lakers forward has two children from a previous relationship.
And Lamar and Khloe weren't the only star couple tying the knot this weekend – stars Jaime Pressly and Justin Guarini also walked down the aisle with their significant others.

That looks familiar
Here's a collection of products sent in by blog readers. These items hit the market after my fabrics came out, and they look a little familiar, right? Certainly we designers can't help being influenced by what we see around us, and genuine coincidences do occur in the design world. Please enjoy these coincidences.
Above are some of my prints.
Click images to view larger
Cute pillows and wall hangings! Looks a little bit like my Calliope print. This company agrees that the design is identical, but insists their artist created it independently. The name of my fabric collection is Amusement Park, with prints called Parade, Fireworks, Calliope, and Boardwalk. The names of other prints in this company's collection are Carnival and Carousel. Fabulous! I wish I could meet this other designer, because clearly we are twins separated at birth and would be best friends.
This company likes the Calliope motif, but thought it might look just a little better with the addition of black dots.
Could we see it in a photo card?
Have fun buttoning your clown shirt.
Unless these product photos are misleading, it looks like these guys couldn't afford the third ink color in their Fireworks print. Sadly the economic downturn has affected everyone.

Accessing OS/2 Stacker Compressed Diskettes
Visits (19215)
Back in Februray, my blog post [A Box Full of Floppies] mentioned that I uncovered some diskettes compressed with OS/2 Stacker. Jokingly, I suggested that I may have to stand up an OS/2 machine just to check out what is actually on those floppies. Each floppy contains only three files: README.STC, STACKER.EXE and a hidden STACKVOL.DSK file. The README.STC explains that the disk is compressed by Stacker, a program developed by [Stac Electronics, Inc.]. The STACKER.EXE would not run on Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7. The STACKVOL.DSK is just a huge binary file, like a ZIP file, compressed with [Lempel-Ziv-Stac] algorithm that combines Lempel-Ziv with Huffman coding.
In my follow-up post [Like Sands in an Hourglass], I explained how there are many ways I could have tackled this project. I could either use the Emulation approach and try to build an OS/2 guest image under a hypervisor like VMware, KVM or VirtualBox, or just take the Museum approach and try taking one of my half dozen old machines, wipe it clean and stand up OS/2 on it bare metal. This turned out to be more challenging than I expected. The systems I have that are modern and powerful enough to run hypervisors don't have floppy drives, so I opted for the Museum approach.
(A quick [history of OS/2] might be helpful. IBM and Microsoft jointly developed OS/2 back in 1985. By 1990, Microsoft decided it's own Windows operating system was more popular with the ladies, and decided to break off with IBM. In 1992, IBM release OS/2 version 2.0, touted as "a better DOS than DOS and a better Windows than Windows!" Both parties maintained ownership rights, Microsoft renamed OS/2 to Windows NT. The "NT" stood for New Technology, the basis for all of the enterprise-class Windows servers used today. IBM named its version of OS/2 version 3 and 4 "WARP", with the last version 4.52 released in 2001. In its heyday, OS/2 ran the majority of Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), was used for hardware management consoles (HMC), and was used worldwide to run various Railway systems. After 2001, IBM encouraged people to transition from Windows or OS/2 over to Java and Linux. For those that can't or won't leave OS/2, IBM partnered with Serenity Systems to continue OS/2 under the brand [eComStation].)
Working with an IBM [ThinkCentre 8195-E2U Pentium 4 machine] with 640MB RAM and 80GB hard disk, a CD-rom and one 3.5-inch floppy drive, I first discovered that OS/2 is limited to very small amounts of hard disk. There are limits on [file systems and partition sizes] as well as the infamous [1024-cylinder limit] for bootable operating systems. Having a completely empty drive didn't work, as the size of the disk was too big. Carving out a big partition out of this also failed, as it exceeded the various limits. Each time, it felt the partition table was corrupted because the values were so huge. Even modern Disk Partitioning tools ([SysRescueCD] or [PartedMagic]) didn't work, as these create partitions not recognizable to OS/2.
The next obstacle I knew I would encounter would be device drivers. OS/2 comes as a set of three floppy diskettes and a CD-rom. The bootable installation disk was referred to affectionately as "Disk 0", then Disk 1, then Disk 2. Once all drivers have been loaded into memory, then it can start looking at the CDrom, and continue with the installation. In searching for updated drivers, I came across [Updated OS/2 Warp 4 Installation Diskettes] to address problems with newer display monitors. It also addresses the 8.4GB volume limit.
The updates were in the form of EXE files that only execute in a running DOS or OS/2 environment, expanded onto a floppy diskette. It seemed like [Catch-22], I need a working DOS or OS/2 system to run the update programs to create the diskettes, but need the diskettes to build a working system.
To get around this, I decided to take a "scaffolding" approach. Using DOS 6 bootable floppy, I was able to re-partition the drive with FDISK into two small 1.9GB partitions. I have the full five-floppy IBM DOS 6 set, I hid the first partition for OS/2, and install the DOS 6 GUI on the second partition. I went ahead and added a few new subdirectories: BOOT to hold Grub2, PERSONAL to hold the data I decompress from the floppies, and UTILS to hold additional utilities. This little DOS system worked, and I now have new OS/2 "Disk 1" and "Disk 2" for the installation process.
(If you don't have a full set of DOS installation diskettes, you can make due with "FORMAT C: /S" from a [DOS boot disk], and then just copy over all the files from the boot disk to your C: drive. You won't have a nice DOS GUI, but the command line prompt will be enough to proceed.)
Like DOS, OS/2 expects to be installed on the C: drive. I hid the second partition (DOS), and marked the first partition installable and bootable. The OS/2 installation involves a lot of reboots, and the hard drive is not natively bootable in the intermediate stages. This means having to boot from Disk 0, then putting in Disk 1, then disk 2, before continuing the next phase of the installation. I tried to keep the installation as "Plain Vanilla" as possible.
I had to figure out what to include, and what to exclude, and this involved a lot of trial and error. For example, one of the choices was for "external diskette support". Since I had an "internal diskette drive", I didn't think I needed it. But after a full install, I discovered that it would not read or write floppy diskettes, so it appears that I do indeed need this support.
OS/2 supports two different file systems, FAT16 and the High Performance File System (HPFS). Since my partition was only 1.9GB in size, I chose just to use FAT16. HPFS supported larger disk partitions, longer file names, and faster performance, none of which I need for these purposes.
I thought it would be nice to get TCP/IP networking to work with my Ethernet card. However, after many attempts, I decided against this. I needed to focus on my mission, which was to decompress floppy diskettes. It was amusing to see that OS/2 supported all kinds of networking, including Token Ring, System Management, Remote Access, Mobile Access Services, File and Print.
Once all the options are chosen, OS/2 installation then proceeds to unpack and copy all the programs to the C: drive. During this process, IBM had informational splash screens. Here's one that caught my eye, titled "IBM Means Three Things" that listed three reasons to partner with IBM:
You might wonder how these OS/2 splash screens, written over 10 years ago, can appear almost identical to IBM's current [Smarter Planet] campaign. Actually, it is not that odd. IBM has been keeping to these same core principles since 1911, only the words to describe and promote these core values have changed.
To access both OS/2 and DOS partitions, I installed Grand Unified Bootloader [Grub2] on the DOS partition under C:/BOOT/GRUB directory. However, when I boot OS/2, I cannot see the DOS partition. And when I boot DOS, I cannot see the OS/2 partition. Each operating system thinks its C: drive is the only partition on the system.
Now that I had OS/2 running, I was then able to install Stacker from two floppy diskettes. With this installed, I can compress and decompress data on either the hard disk, or on floppy diskettes. Most of the files were flat text documents and digital photos. After copying the data off the compressed disks onto my hard drive, I now can copy them off to a safe place.
To finish this project, I installed Ubuntu Linux on the remaining 76GB of disk space, which can access both the OS/2 and DOS drives FAT16 file systems natively. This allows me to copy files from OS/2 to DOS or vice versa.
Now that I know what data types are on the diskettes, I determined that I could have decompressed the data in just a few steps:
However, now that I have a working DOS and OS/2 system, I can possibly review the rest of my floppy diskettes, some of which may require running programs natively on OS/2 or DOS. This brings me to an important lesson. If you are going to keep archive data for long-term retention, you need to choose file formats that can be read by current operating systems and programs. Installing older operating systems and programs to access proprietary formats can be quite time-consuming, and may not always be possible or desirable.

IBM System Storage Video Recognized at International Film Festival
Visits (12718)
I started attending the Arizona International Film Festival eight years ago. I took a week off work to see the films, and came back to tell people how enjoyable it was to just sit and watch thirty movies. "Dirty movies?" they would ask. "No, not dirty, thirty!" To avoid further confusion, I quickly switched to saying "I spent the week watching 25 to 35 independent films."
A few weeks ago, the Arizona International Film Festival notified me that my 2007 System Storage video has been recognized for a technical award under the category of "Innovative use of Technology for Animated Short Film." I will receive the award in person this evening, April 1, at the opening ceremony, which starts at 6:00pm, at the [Fox Theater] in downtown Tucson, Arizona.
As is the case with the Oscars and Grammies, technical awards are handed out in smaller ceremonies in advance of the primary award ceremony that recognizes the best actors, directors and films, which will be held April 9.
The backstory of my entry is pretty amusing. Back in 2007, I was asked to run a [Product Launch in Second Life], a virtual world environment. If you are not familiar with [Second Life], think [World of Warcraft] for business executives.
In this virtual world, avatars representing IBM executives and marketing managers would present our latest products to avatars of the IBM Business Partners, Industry Analysts and the Press. A short "highlights" video that stitched together bits and pieces of the 90-minute event was used by executives at conferences and road shows. I submitted this shortened version to the Airzona International Film Festival back in 2008, so I am glad the judges had finally gotten around to review it. Here it is uploaded as a [YouTube video]:
During the event, I captured the real-time video from my laptop screen using a tool called [FRAPS]. I also had some of my colleagues capture video from different angles in case we needed these in post-production. The technique of capturing computer-generated 3D video from a computer screen is known as Machinima.
I was in Bogota Columbia that week teaching a Top Gun class. I got to the IBM building only to discover the firewall would not let me get through to the Second Life website, so I took a taxi back to the hotel and ran the event from their business center. Then the unthinkable happened, and I got to experience [Columbia's worst power outage in 22 years], in which 98 percent of the country lost power. Luckily, I had enough battery charge on my laptop and was still connected to the Internet to continue with the rest of the event.
Voice-over-IP but it did not have that feature back then. The other $91 was for virtual items in Second Life. I learned how to make virtual objects and use the GNU Image Manipulation Program [GIMP] to create avatar clothing, giveaway items, and demo equipment.
Instead of hiring voice actors, I had IBMers Andy Monshaw, Eric Buckley, Funda Eceral, David Tareen, and Kristie Bell all provide their voice talents directly.
I asked the coordinator of the film festival if there was going to be a "practice session" for the technical award ceremony. She laughed, and said basically that I would just be walking across the stage, receive the award in my left hand as I shook hands with my right, and then turn slightly clockwise to pose while my picture is taken. If I had ever gotten a diploma from high school or college, she said, then I already knew what to expect. "Don't worry," she assured me, "you won't have to give a speech!"
(In lieu of a speech, I would like to thank Christine Heinisch, my video editor, and Katrina Smith, my cinematographer. I could not have won this technical award without their assistance.)
After the ceremony tonight, the film festival (celebrating its 20th anniversary this year) will kick off with the first of 110 films called "Journey from Zanskar", a 90-minute documentary directed by Frederick Marx and narrated by Richard Gere, starting at 8:00pm. The Arizona International Film Festival will continue through April 20, with films being shown on the evenings and weekends so that I won't have to take time off from work.
If you are in the Tucson area, come out and join me tonight at the Fox Theater!
(Update: Yes, this was an April Fools joke! I did not win any awards for this video. I apologize to my friends and family who showed up to see me receive the award that I didn't get.)

Next Week - Smarter Computing Virtual Event
Visits (11976)
Did you miss IBM Pulse 2011 in Las Vegas?
Next week, April 6, IBM will host the [Smarter Computing Virtual Event] to cover IBM's Smarter Computing initiative, with key themes of Smarter Computing - Big Data, Optimized Systems, and Cloud. Smarter Computing is a new and innovative approach to computing based on the evolving role of IT in your business and an intrinsic understanding of the economics of IT.
(I found it amusing that EMC has chosen two of IBM's themes, "Big Data" and "Cloud", for their upcoming EMC World 2011 conference. I was tempted to include their graphic, but people might have accused me of using Photoshop or GIMP to make EMC look bad. Instead, you can look at the graphic on this blog post titled [When Cloud Meets Big Data: Information Logistics Revisited] by fellow blogger Chuck Hollis from EMC. IBM has been a leader in IT for decades, so we are used to having other companies follow in our footsteps. As an [IBM wannabee], EMC is no different.)
For many on tight travel budgets, this event REQUIRES NO TRAVEL! This is a virtual event, You can participate from your desk. You will hear from key IBM executives, all of which I have heard speak myself, so I can vouch that this should be a good event.
This event is targeted to CIOs, IT Directors and Managers, Business Analysts, Systems and Storage Administrators, and DBAs. However, we don't check what your actual title is, so feel free to attend even if you have different job responsibilities.
I am giving you one week's notice for this event. If this is the first time you have heard of this event, then I hope that is enough time to plan for this event in your busy schedule. If you had heard of it already, perhaps this serves as a useful reminder to [Register Now!] Is a week ahead the right amount of time? For virtual events, do we need more or less advance notice? What about for events that involve travel? Feel free to enter your thoughts on this in the comments section below.
