No. 64 MTEN Extends Streak to Eight
Boilermakers defeat Marquette for the 13th time in series
In six years as Purdue's head men's tennis coach, Pawel Gajdzik has transformed a program. As the ninth head coach in program history, the Szczecin, Poland, native, has taken the Boilermakers into the national spotlight while his student-athletes continue to excel in the classroom and rise on the court. The increased level of talent that Gajdzik has brought into his program leapfrogs the year's previous Purdue player that held the title of highest-ranked incoming freshman. It's this high-level talent that Gajdzik is rewriting records with and setting a new standard for Boilermaker men's tennis as he embarks upon his fifth season.
Since his first season during the 2009-10 campaign, Gajdzik has guided a trio of players to All-Big Ten second team honors, including three-time selection Mark Kovacs (2011, 2012, 2014), two-time pick Szymon Tatarczyk (2011, 2013) and Ricky Medinilla as a freshman in 2014. Medinilla was also Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Ohio Valley Region Rookie Player of the Year in 2014. He has had 11 individuals combine for 19 Academic All-Big Ten accolades and 10 individuals have combined for 16 ITA Scholar-Athlete distinctions. Gajdzik has also had four squads be named an ITA Academic Team (2010, 2011, 2012, 2014).
The 2013-14 season was the most successful run the Purdue men's tennis team while under Gajdzik's direction and in program history. For the first time in a dozen years, the Purdue men's tennis team heard its name called as an NCAA Championships qualifier. The 34th-ranked Boilermakers received one of 33 at-large bids into the 64-team field. It was the sixth time in program history that Purdue had qualified for the NCAA Championships and the first since 2002. They added another historic milestone to the season by obtaining the program's high national ranking on April 15. During the course of the season, Gajdzik's team took down nine nationally ranked opponents and their 6-1 upset of 16th-ranked Penn State on April 11 was the highest ranked opponent the Purdue men's tennis program had ever defeated.
Gajdzik's team started the spring season unranked, but two weeks later entered the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's (ITA) national team rankings at No. 68 after posting back-to-back wins over No. 49 Dartmouth and No. 51 Brown. Purdue went on to appear in all but one of the season's next 14 editions of the poll.
The ITA tabbed Diego Acosta and Aaron Dujovne as the nation's 13th-ranked doubles team in its preseason rankings released Sept. 7, 2012. As a result, the duo was selected to play the Main Draw of the ITA All-American Tennis Championships. Not only were Acosta and Dujovne Gajdzik's first Boilermaker tandem to be invited to the event, but they were also the first in program history. The doubles team of Szymon Tatarczyk and Krisztian Krocsko were ranked as high as No. 55 during the spring campaign. Tatarczyk earned his second All-Big Ten second team honor at the conclusion of the season.
Acosta, who was the top-ranked prospect in Purdue history at No. 58, came to Purdue prior to the 2011-12 season. The Cuenca, Ecuador, native, paired with Dujovne and the duo climbed throughout the national rankings. They were listed as high as No. 39 under Gajdzik's guidance and they were his first pair to appear in the season's final ITA rankings at No. 42.
Three of his team's 10 victories in 2011-12 were over ranked teams. Gajdzik's squad climbed to No. 52 in the March 13, 2012, ITA team rankings, marking the highest ranking achieved during his tenure and the program's highest ranking since being listed 50th on March 1, 2005. The Boilermakers appeared on 15 consecutive team rankings spanning from March 8, 2011 - Feb. 22, 2012. For the second time in as many season, Kovacs landed on the All-Big Ten second team.
Gajdzik's first recruiting class came to campus as the 24th-ranked group according to tennisrecruiting.net in the fall of 2010. Tatarczyk highlighted the class, coming in as the program's then-highest-ranked recruit at No. 63.
With five newcomers in the starting lineups during the 2010-11 season, Gajdzik led the Old Gold and Black to 13 wins, its highest single-season win total since 2003. He guided his team past five nationally ranked teams. The unranked Boilermakers upended No. 73 Yale and No. 46 New Mexico. They made their season debut in the team rankings on March 8 and spent three consecutive weeks at No. 67. While there, Purdue upset 44th-ranked Michigan State and went on to beat No. 72 Northwestern and No. 69 Iowa in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament. For the first time since 2007, the Boilermakers were on the ITA's final ranking of the season as Gajdzik's team checked in at No. 64.
Tatarczyk and Kovacs, the highly touted freshmen of Gajdzik's prized recruiting class, were named to the All-Big Ten second team. It had been seven years since Purdue had a player earn conference honors and it had been eight years since multiple players were honored.
During his first season at the helm in 2009-10, Purdue posted 11 wins, the most the program had seen since 2003. His team's nine wins at home were also the most since 2002. Gajdzik guided his unranked Boilermakers to upsets of No. 61 Harvard and No. 48 Northwestern. Purdue garnered its first national team ranking since the 2008 season when it appeared on the Feb. 23, 2010, edition at No. 69. The Old Gold and Black maintained a presence on the list for four more weeks and climbed as high as No. 60. Eight of Gajdzik's players earned career-high win totals during his rookie campaign.
Gajdzik came to Purdue on Aug. 23, 2009, after spending the 2008-09 season as the head men's tennis coach at Northern Illinois. He led the Huskies to a 9-10 overall record, including a 3-2 Mid-American Conference mark that tied for second in the conference. Northern Illinois' second-place MAC showing was the highest for the school since 1997 and included the program's first victory over Ball State since 1974.
The Huskies managed postseason acclaim as well during Gajdzik's tenure. Pawel Poziomski was named MAC Newcomer of the Year and All-MAC second team. Fellow freshman Jurica Grubisic was a first-team All-MAC selection and junior Javier Bernabe was named to the second team. Gajdzik's 2009 recruiting class was named the No. 1 mid-major class in the country by TennisRecruiting.net.
Before taking over at Northern Illinois in 2008, Gajdzik spent six seasons on the coaching staff at Baylor. The Bears won the 2004 NCAA title and the 2005 national indoor team title before earning a national runner-up finish in 2005. Baylor also advanced to the national semifinal in 2006 and 2007 and the national quarterfinals in 2003 and 2008. The Bears brought six consecutive Big 12 championships and five Big 12 tournament titles back to Waco while Gajdzik was on staff.
Gajdzik directed 2004 NCAA singles champion Benjamin Becker and 2005 NCAA singles champion Benedikt Dorsch. They were two of the four All-Americans to play at Baylor under Gajdzik's direction. In addition to his coaching duties at Baylor, Gajdzik founded the PG Tennis Academy in 2005.
During his playing days at Baylor, Gajdzik won the 1998 Big 12 singles and doubles titles and was named the conference's Newcomer of the Year while leading the team to its first NCAA tournament appearance. In his first season of collegiate tennis, he was ranked as high as 17th in singles and was in the top 20 in the doubles rankings with two different partners. His 8-0 conference mark that season still stands as the best single-season mark in school history.
The following year, Baylor put together a 25-4 record and advanced to the national quarterfinals. In 2000, Gajdzik won another Big 12 doubles crown while leading the Bears to the first men's team conference title in school history and a berth in the Round of 16 at the NCAA Championships.
Prior to coming to the United States, Gajdzik was a member of Poland's national team from 1989-97. He was an ATP ranked professional player in singles and doubles while playing for the Polish Junior National Team. Gajdzik also won a national championship and was ranked in the top five throughout his junior career.
Gajdzik is married to the former Elizabeth Solomon. The couple has a daughter, Natalia, and a son, Lukas.

Annie pisses her pants in 3, 2....
Just out of curiosity...are you calling for a withdrawal from BOTH Iraq and Afghanistan? I can get behind the first, but not the latter, since that's where the Taliban and al-Qaeda still are. (Though I totally grant that Bush has fucked both of them up.)
Poor Brian Baird--you got to give him credit for actually having a point of view and being willing to stand up to a small portion of his constituency. I grew up in his district, and I can assure you, outside of Vancouver and portions of Thurston county, his district is very, very red. It would be a mistake to assume that his position supporting the surge would guarantee his defeat in the next election cycle, I think it quite likely that his change of heart actually earns him points with many of the religious hillbillies that make up a whole lot of SW Washington.
That's what I don't get. It will be a catastrophy?!?! WTF is it right now? As far as I can see, it is a castastrophy with American troops & resources.
WTF??? How many of our people and their innocent people have to fucking die before it becomes a catastrophy?? Holy Christ this shit is ridiculous.
My thoughts to their families :(
On the bright side, keeping the Iraq occupation/war going forever may prevent or at least delay the US from starting another war.
See, every cloud has a silver lining!
Ending the war in our lives? Yeah right! Exit Iraq via Iran!!!!
So nice to know we aren't a rattling ape-cage of mob rule, isn't it?
First, a post-9-11 rush to invade a country that had nothing to do with 9-11 (while the actual criminals escape); now a post-'surge'-mess rush to withdraw, both in ignorance of the very real strategic, long-term consquences that will soak the sand in blood, either now or later...
So the citizens of his district would prefer someone to Tell Them What They Want to Hear instead of what might actually be in the best interests of everyone, even reactionary fools safely sitting in the US?
You actually think the problems are just going to end if we withdraw? I think you're being very short-sighted.
people are so upset that we didn't plan well enough going in... so they want to pull out without a plan?
we should study to be well-aware of the consequences of our actions. i want out, but i don't want some worse problem i didn't know about occurring because of a knee-jerk reaction.
you make up your mind, then you get a plan, and then you follow the plan.
Nice potshot, Dan... For someone who supported the war when so many of us here told you that your position was ridiculous and could lead to the predicament we're in, you're certainly happy to cut-and-run when things don't work out, eh?
Yes, this war is a tragedy, and no one should want to see more American soldiers die. On the other hand, American lives are NOT more valuable than Iraqi/Muslim ones. We broke it, and we have a responsibility to stay in there and help to fix it.
Do you really think that a majority of Americans now support withdrawal because they suddenly think this was a bad idea? (And where is the blame for the majority who supported Bush in going to war in the first place or the scorn for all of the Democratic Senators and Congressmen who voted yes?)
Americans want out because we're losing. Period. If the surge suddenly started to work, you'd see that majority support for withdrawal dissipate pretty rapidly. We like winning, and we like war games like in movies and on our computer screens. We don't like the real hardships that come with supporting American military might around the world and the consequences of our cowboy politics that get expressed by most folks over here.
I'm with Andy Niable on this one--and do bear in mind that I was one of those rabid, "unpatriotic" kooks who was against the invasion to begin with.
Certain people wanted this war, and now they've grown tired of it; they are the same people--the very same--who berated and dismissed anyone who voiced opposition or caution to their demands, and here we find them doing so once again. They say their minds are changed, but from my vantage point their reasoning remains as muddied and shallow as it ever was.
I do not have the answers. War without end is obviously not what anyone wants--but what, honestly, should the goal be for Iraq? What do we want for these people, and for ourselves? And so we have the faith and the mettle to achieve it?
As much as I hate the Iraq War, I fully support the Afghanistan War and think we should have poured every resource of Iraq into Kabul. I just hope that when we finally get the hell out of Iraq, we put 20k or so more troops into Afghanistan, to strike at the people who actually did attack us.
There was a window of time where our military could have done helpful things in Afghanistan (including capturing Osama before he left for Pakistan), but I think we're past that point now. As in Iraq, the real problems are political and extend throughout the region.
The real problem is Pakistan, which pretty much created the Taliban in the first place, along with some assistance from Saudi Arabia. The tribal areas in Pakistan are also where al-Qaeda's hiding out. They've got a secular dictator and Islamic radicals and nuclear weapons. Invading Pakistan, or getting Pakistan's military to act more aggressively in the tribal areas, would just make the political situation worse.
What's needed is a political situation within Pakistan that mainstreams the Islamists while keeping the government secular. Luckily, there's a framework for that under negotiation right now. President Musharraf is negotiating with former PM Bhutto to step down as military leader and bring her in as a political partner. That would stabilize Pakistan and provide room for other positive political changes. One of those changes has to be a shift by the US back to the non-proliferation treaty and general arms control path, from which our government can apply diplomatic pressure to Pakistan to stop arming the rest of the world.
We should also be funding a real reconstruction in Afghanistan, as we should have done from the beginning. But adding more US troops? It's not going to work.
Do the deaths of American troops even matter?
The bloviating Republicans couldnt give a shit, most everyone else has conflicted feelings about the war, and we seem to have an endless supply of right-wing nationalists and gullible fools signing up to be Darth Cheneys Imperial Stormtroopers. The Chinese can just keep on loaning us the money for the war until the whole house of cards implodes.
They are merely pawns to President Bush.
I would think Dan's "US Out of Afghanistan Now" is at least as controversial as Baird's "Six More Months in Iraq".
From Westside:
"Poor Brian Baird--you got to give him credit for actually having a point of view and being willing to stand up to a small portion of his constituency. I grew up in his district, and I can assure you, outside of Vancouver and portions of Thurston county, his district is very, very red. It would be a mistake to assume that his position supporting the surge would guarantee his defeat in the next election cycle, I think it quite likely that his change of heart actually earns him points with many of the religious hillbillies that make up a whole lot of SW Washington."
NOT - a small portion of his constituency. We are the ones who got him elected, walked precincts, phone banked and answered phones. The audience at the townhall DID have peace activists in it, but many many more were regular old professionals, joe & jane citizens, old friends, campaigners.
If Baird gets re-elected perhaps it will be because he has become the darling of the hillbillies you reference. I guess that could mean many of us disenfranchised citizens will be free to disregard the stern warning of throwing away our votes. We have been liberated to vote for a challenger because the outlayers will elect him anyway!

A high-profile homophobe was arrested forcan you guess?
An executive committee member of the Southern Baptist Convention was arrested on a lewdness charge for propositioning a plainclothes policeman outside a hotel, police said. Lonnie Latham, senior pastor at South Tulsa Baptist Church, was booked into Oklahoma County Jail Tuesday night on a misdemeanor charge of offering to engage in an act of lewdness, police Capt. Jeffrey Becker said. Latham was released on $500 bail Wednesday afternoon…. When he left jail, he said: "I was set up. I was in the area pastoring to police."
…The arrest took place in the parking lot of the Habana Inn, which is in an area where the public has complained about male prostitutes flagging down cars, Becker said. The plainclothes officers was investigating these complaints.
The lewdness charge carries a penalty of up to one year in jail and a $2,500 fine.
He has also spoken out against same-sex marriage and in support of a Southern Baptist Convention directive urging its 42,000 churches to befriend gays and lesbians and try to convince them that they can become heterosexual "if they accept Jesus Christ as their savior and reject their 'sinful, destructive lifestyle."'
What a coincidence: I was doing a little pastoring myself last night.

Although I think highly of this drug, the 2 side effects I usually get are the prickley feelings in my face( cold compress feels like my face is burning) and I get leg spasms I cant control even when I know its coming.

First off Imitrex is pricey so if you don't have insurance or have crappy Rx benefits try Costco or your local wholesale warehouse before going anywhere else first and you usually don't even need a paid membership to use their pharmacy but even if you do it's worth it! At Costco I pay $40 for 30 generic pills. At CVS I was paying $600 for 30 generic pills. Talk about greedy corporation ... Show Full Comment

I read several, including Baby Signing 1 2 3 by Nancy Cadjan. We ended up making up our own signs for our newborn: closed fist tapping the diaper when he wanted a change (he did this at 1 week old, then quit at 2 months) and a fist to the cheek for food (he ended up putting his whole fist in his mouth when he was ready for a meal. lol.). We're working on having him take our hand and place it somewhere on his body that he wants massaged since I don't get the weather-related leg cramps that LO and DH do, so I don't know when his calves painfully lock up.

We're huge fans of "baby signing time" and "signing time" in our house. You can get previews on youtube.

Huge problem with this game
So I love the concept behind games with upgrades systems allowing you to replay the game on a harder (+mode) with all the upgrades/benefits you had collected on your previous playthough. Borderlands does it perfectly and I thought Dead Space would be similar.
However, when I went to start impossible mode, I had nothing.
Instead, I have to replay the same difficulty I already beat while not having these upgrades (where is the challenge in that)
I thought the whole concept behind a +mode playthrough is to allow you to experience a harder difficulty with your upgrades/improved character to give u a similar, yet different playthrough experience.
Yea I was pretty disappointed with that too - however they fixed it in Dead Space 2 so go out and buy that!
I actually enjoyed it the way they set it up. Tough but gratifying, you really feel that surviving will be tough. Adds to the horror/sci-fi vibe for me.
I'm fine with the idea of being able to carry stuff over to a harder difficulty setting as long as said difficulty setting is balanced around that fact.
Impossible mode, however, just isn't challenging enough to still be difficult when you carry stuff over. In fact, the only difference between Impossible and Hard is that enemies do more damage on Impossible. It's obviously balanced with the assumption that you're starting fresh.
Personally, I thought it was a bad idea for them to allow you to both carry your stuff over to Zealot and get the achievement/trophy for it in DS2. At least they didn't make the same mistake for Hard Core.
I understand they want to challenge you to get the achievement, but it would have been much more fun to play through the game with my upgraded character on impossible difficulty, even if it met not getting an achievement.
I am not interested in another playthrough on normal difficulty with a stacked character so I just roll through the beginning levels.
Amazing game
I think it was done on purpose to increase the difficulty of impossible. However I personally felt that it hindered the experience and made it more frustrating
Yeah I agree it would be nice to go into Impossible with the fully upgraded character from your previous playthrough ...... Meh :/
I'm not sure there's a lot of value in having NG+ in this game. Like the OP said, there's no real replay value in blasting through everything on the same difficulty. They should either have removed it, or amped up the "Impossible" difficulty to make it semi-required.
It's called impossible for a reason.

Bradley on the fast track in boxing's hot division
There is a lot going on in the super-lightweight division.
Filipino sensation Manny Pacquiao, boxing's reigning pound-for-pound king, demolished Ricky Hatton inside of two rounds to stake his claim as the top fighter at 140 pounds.
Young guns Victor Ortiz of Oxnard and Marcos Maidana of Argentina will scrap for the interim WBA super-lightweight title on Saturday night at Staples Center on HBO.
And Timothy "Desert Storm" Bradley of Palm Springs will face the toughest challenge of his young career when he defends his WBO 140-pound title against former unified lightweight champion Nate Campbell on Aug. 1 at Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage on Showtime.
"I never really imagined winning two world titles in less than one year," Bradley said at a news conference in Pasadena on Wednesday. "I just think I'm on the fast track. I'm on the fast track right now and I don't know what's going on. All I know is that I want to fight the best fighters. I tell my promoters to put them in front of me and I'm beating them. That's all I know."
Bradley stunned the boxing world, but not those who followed him as he worked his way up the ranks fighting on Thompson Boxing Promotions' cards at the Doubletree Hotel in Ontario or at Omega Products International in Norco, when he went to England to upset Junior Witter and claim the WBC super-lightweight title on May 10, 2008. Bradley completely outclassed Edner Cherry in his first title defense on Sept. 13. He earned a hard-fought unanimous decision over Kendall Holt to unify the WBC and WBO titles.
"I just believed in myself and believed in my abilities and believed that I was ready," Bradley said of his fight against Witter. "This was my chance to shine and I was ready. Stepping into that ring, I just went into the ring like I was the big dog, like I was the champion. That was the mental stand point that I had going into that fight. It didn't matter about the boos. It didn't matter about anything. All that mattered was he was going to have to deal with me that night when I get into the ring."
In Campbell, Bradley will be facing the most experienced and craftiest fighter of his career. Bradley calls Campbell "the Bernard Hopkins of the lower weights."
"I know his style," Bradley said. "He is rugged. I'm rough in there too. He uses different tactics. He can bang in there. He can move and box. He can use angles. He's very clever in the ring. But I'm very clever as well."
The rematch between WBA featherweight champion Chris John and Rocky Juarez was supposed to be the co-feature on the Victor Ortiz-Marcos Maidana card on Saturday night at Staples Center, but John contracted some kind of blood illness and was unable to fight, Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer told FightNews.com. John tried to work through it, but he collapsed during a sparring session on Saturday and it became apparent he would not be able to fight this weekend. ...
The six-bout card at Staples Center starts at 4 p.m. on Saturday. The HBO telecast is tape-delayed at 10 p.m. La Habra's Enrique Ornelas, who is coming off a split decision loss to Marco Antonio Rubio in a WBC middleweight eliminator, is looking to get back on track when he takes on Willis Lockett on the Ortiz-Maidana undercard. Go online at ticketmaster.com for tickets ($25-$200). ...
Nate Quarry, Leonard Garcia and Brett Cooper will be the guests on "Inside MMA" on Friday at 6 p.m. on HDNet. ...
"In This Corner: Featuring Eddie Alvarez" debuts on Friday at 7 p.m. on HDNet. The show follows Alvarez's rise to stardom during the DREAM Lightweight Grand Prix, including his fights against Andre Amade, Joachim Hansen and Tatsuya Kawajiri. ...

Boss Dean Smith will change an unbeaten line-up for the first time in six games to counter the loss of top scorer Will Grigg and goalkeeper Aaron McCarey.
Grigg, who has 19 goals to his name this season, is away on international duty with Northern Ireland although he is set to miss their World Cup qualifiers against Russia and Israel due to a hamstring problem.
McCarey was this week recalled from his loan spell at the Banks's Stadium by parent club Wolves, with highly-rated Manchester United stopper Sam Johnstone subsequently brought in on a deal until the end of the season.
Johnstone will now start at Victoria Park as the Saddlers aim to close the three-point gap on the play-off places.

Semi-crunchy, homebirthing NZ mama to two beautiful goddesses, expecting a son November 2013
I threw a grown-up party last year and wanted some fun finger foods, but my friends and I all try to avoid sugar. I found this site and made a few of these snacks. The apple-teeth things were hilarious!

ha, I love that melon brain! I love Halloween and I feel candy on Halloween is a must-have, so I have no advice except don't shove raisons at regular kids (always hated that as a kid and they wound up in the garbage every year). But I may have to make that melon brain.
My DH wrote a book: https://www.createspace.com/6302989
At 2, we didn't do Halloween. He was fine. At 3, DS wanted to go trick-or-treating. We went to a few houses, he ate a piece of candy and forgot about the rest. Last year, at 4, much more aware and we switched out most of the candy (not that there was a lot) with Yummy Earth and Endangered Species chocolate. We'll do the same this year. He can have a few pieces, then we'll switch out the rest.
"The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it." Neil deGrasse Tyson
We're still deciding what we want to do. One option I've heard is having the "Sugar Plum Fairy" come and take the candy away and leave a little toy in its place. That's a way you can still trick-or-treat without eating garbage.

i'm making a face right now. lol. i must be only a little crunchy b/c i love chocolate. :p i've just always tried to limit dd's sugar intake esp around that time of year.
We took DS trick-or-treating for candy for the first time last year at 26 months. Grandpa also brought him a little trick-or-treat back but put an orange and some baby carrots and some activities in it. He got to eat the orange on Halloween and then the next morning the "Halloween Fairy" had come and left a toy with one piece of candy (the least crappy one he had in his bag). He LOVED it! We're going to try the same thing this year. I like all the different names - sugar plum fairy, switch witch. We're going to have to come up with a new name. :) The candy got sent with my best friend to the cast of the high school's musical production (friend is the director). The high schoolers loved it!
Artifical dyes are a big problem for my kids but they still love trick or treating. So we go trick or treating and they each get a couple pieces of chocolate. Then they trade the rest for a trip to our local party store. They have a whole aisle of little toys to put in gift bags and the kids love that stuff. So they each to pick 10 items (the most expensive things there are $.25) and they love it.

I wasted a bunch of time trying to get this to work, and figured this group could give me some much needed help.
I have WMC 2005 with rollup 2 installed. I ran the extender update on it and it shows that it detects the Xbox. I entered the code, and it syncs. I ran media connection, and it show the xbox as an extender, I refreshed the firewall.
When I try to connect the xbox 360, and detects the pc and tries to connect. It times out after 2 min and tries again. Eventually, I get an error on the xbox that another application canceled the session.
So now I am thinking that it might be my firewall. I dissable Norton internet security for a few min and try again- same hang. I made sure windows firewall was also disabled...
Next I ran the connection test on the PC- said connection was good. Good enough for HD streaming in fact....
Next I ran the network test on the xbox. Everything went fine- except that for the NAT it said moderate. Now I am over my head- no real idea what NAT is. I went into my Belkin router settings, and see NAT turned on. I experimented with turning this off- lost ip's and all hell breaks loose on network. I reset the Belkin router to the default settings.
To problem solve, I uninstalled Nortons Internet security 2005 and made sure the Windows firewall was also off- same hang, no dice.
I was able to connect with my origional xbox with the extender software, so not sure what is wrong. I can download and connect to xbox live on the 360 fine- just no media center, which is a main reason for my purchase- to stream HD from PC to tv.
I have searched the MS groups, and your typical google search. I have also searched the Belkin help boards, but I am guessing no new help will show up this week, as the xbox360 is so new.
Any help?
Are there any specific ports that need to be open? At one point I did find a help doc that poped up on the PC, listing specific ports that needed to be open- but I could not find these again- anyone have a link?
Any Belkin router users have connected- and help guides?
Sorry for so many questions. I am just hoping for a easy solution that I am just missing. Thanks to anyone taking the time to read this, and a bigger thank you for any help.

I'm having issues as well with the belkin Wireless implementation with the XBOX 360. I hooked my XBOX 360 directly to the wired nic on the PC and it worked great. It definitely appears to be an issue with the Belkin Hardware. I have the Belkin Pre-N Router and Pre-N Card in My Media Center BTW. I can connect and stream music just fine, but when I try to watch TV my Computer Completely Freezes...A Complete lockup, no mouse no keyboard no nothing...It might work with turning something on and off, but I'm not sure what...as far as ports to open there are many...
THIS IS THE LINK YOU ARE LOOKING FOR (Sustitute what MS stands for, MS is Morgan Stanley People, why do you truncate it?)
NOTE: YOU ALSO HAVE TO OPEN PORT 5555(TCP) and 7777(UDP) - They don't tell you this, I had to pay $35 to talk to MS Customer Support to figure that one out, I'm asking for a refund based on missing information.
Post if you figure it out

A Radcliff teen was arraigned Tuesday in Hardin Circuit Court for seven counts of receiving stolen property, which indictments allege occurred within a three-week span.
Daryl D. Jenkins, 19, was indicted last week for two felony and five misdemeanor counts of receiving stolen property. He pleaded not guilty Tuesday.
According to jail records, Jenkins' bond is set at $23,000 cash. The teen's attorney requested a bond reduction, which Judge Kelly Mark Easton, denied citing the defendant's criminal history.
Last October, Jenkins was arrested for an alleged assault on a Radcliff police officer and multiple charges of fleeing from police, according to police.
He was indicted in November for third-degree assault, second-degree fleeing or evading and giving a false name to an officer. That case is set for a jury trial June 5.

International business research and risky investments, an analysis of FDI in conflict zones
The purpose of this paper is to examine the determinants of a firm's strategy to invest in a conflict location. To the best of our knowledge, this has not been done before. We examine this using a standard model of international business, overlaid with the fundamental approach to corporate social responsibility. We start with the population of multinationals who have chosen to invest in low income countries with weak institutions. We then split this sample in order to distinguish between firms that have invested in conflict regions compared to those that have not. Our analysis then proceeds to explain the decision of those firms to invest in conflict locations using a simple Probit model. We find that countries with weaker institutions and less concern about corporate social responsibility (CSR) are more likely to invest in conflict regions. Finally, firms with more concentrated ownership are more likely to invest in such locations.

WASHINGTON - The Georgetown University volleyball team (6-7) opens BIG EAST play this weekend with two conference road matches. They will play St. John's (13-3) in Queens, N.Y. Friday, Sept. 21 at 7 p.m., and then meet Connecticut (8-6) in Storrs, Conn. Sunday, Sept. 23 at 2 p.m.
In the home opener Tuesday at McDonough Arena, GU lost to Liberty 1-3. The Hoyas have lost their last six matches.
Haley Lowrance (Phoenix, Ariz.) improved upon her BIG EAST-leading 11.60 assists per set, tallying 52 in the four-setter. Dani White (Mission Viejo, Calif.) was involved in five blocks and led the team with 18 kills. Annalee Abell(Lexington, Ky.) added 13 kills.
The Red Storm beat Iona 3-0 at home Tuesday night, for their third win in a row. They return several players from the team that Georgetown defeated 3-1 last season at McDonough Arena.
St. John's has several foreign-born players, and Georgetown head coach Arlisa Williamsexpects them to bring a different brand of volleyball than the Hoyas are used to seeing. Aleksandra Wachowicz paces the Red Storm in kills, while seniors Gabriela Petkova and Sabina Piegza lead in digs and assists.
The Huskies took down Sacred Heart in Fairfield, Conn. Wednesday night. Devon Maugle and Mattison Quayle are tied for the team lead in kills. Senior Kelsey Maving currently leads the BIG EAST with 288 digs.
Georgetown has won the last two meetings with Connecticut. It took all five sets last year at McDonough Arena, where the Blue & Gray got the 3-2 win.
The Hoyas finished 6-8 in conference play last season. They will be the Red Storm's first BIG EAST conference opponent this season, while the Huskies host Villanova Friday before GU comes to town.
Georgetown returns to McDonough Arena following this weekend's matches. They host Villanova Friday, Sept. 28 and Rutgers Sunday, Sept. 30.

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) represent a unique and important immune cell population capable of producing large quantifies of type I interferon (IFN) in response to viruses as well as nucleic acid-containing complexes from the host. These rare and mysterious cells have been revealed by in-depth molecular characterization. Several innate sensors and signaling molecules enriched in pDCs allow their specialized innate immune functions. In addition, human pDCs use a group of surface receptors that, through activation of a B-cell receptor (BCR)-like signaling pathway, modulate type I IFN responses. It is clear now that pDC development is influenced by distinctive transcription factors that specify a unique lineage. CD4+CD56+ hematodermic neoplasm of human pDC origin has been revealed in explicit molecular terms.
A detailed molecular description of pDCs helps us better define, understand, and track human pDCs in relation to their functions and physiological involvement.

I installed W3 Total Cache and activated. I used the default settings, and saved. My site completely disappeared except for the yellow background color.
I then returned the settings to none selected and chose and saved them one by one. It seems it's Minify that causes my site to disappear.
How can this be corrected? What is the benefit of having Minify? What would cause it not to work?

How do boundaries work part two-a potential new partner..
This weekend, I met a lady, who I may at some point be interested in having more of a personal relationship with. Who knows.
I didn't tell HER that. That would be AWKWARD! We just met.
I DID tell Maca that. That is how the boundary comes into play with "ok'd by SO".
I won't be telling her that.
I didn't tell her there is a limit to 1-2 visits a week with her either.
I KNOW THAT-so I won't schedule more than that. She DID ask me when I was in town (I live out of town) and I told her that M,W,F I am in town. I didn't tell her "alone time visits" can only be 1 time a week.
She doesn't need such details! I know that-so I will respect that agreement with my partner. Same with romantic dates being ok-she doesn't need to know that. If we get to that point, and one or the other of us asks for a date that is romantic in nature, it's ok so I can go.
I won't tell her "I have to ask my SO if it's ok before inviting you out to a family gathering". That would already have been DONE if I were inviting her!
I won't be telling her my SO is always welcome to join me-I live my life that way. i will let her know "WE are going to be in town-are you avail for coffee or a walk?" If she invites me I would say, "I'd love to, Maca and I are going to be in town that day we'd love to come!"
I don't need to tell her what behaviors aren't allowed sexually. I won't try to do them. If she does, I would simply stop her gently and tell her, "I find you very attractive, but this is too fast for me."
So, no I don't think these boundaries are complicated for another person. Because most of it-they need not go over with us.
The only key pieces that need to be addressed are as follows:
1. I'm part of a loving, committed, full time family that is pretty complicated. I'm a student, I homeschool two kids and babysit my grandson. My husband and my boyfriend work full time and we try to devote weekends to the family.
(THAT is something I say so many times a day I can't begin to imagine it being awkward to bring up-it's a natural part of describing ME)
2. Unfortunately, that makes my schedule CRAZY hectic and limits my social availability. (again, this is such a frequent statement in my day-that it's not awkward)
IF we're already at the stage of aiming to be sexually active:
3. I have herpes. I don't use protection with my husband or my boyfriend. We've agreed that we won't have sex with outside lovers before STI tests are done all around. We also commit to taking them every 6 months.
**THIS IS NON-NEGOTIABLE and it's a primary point of contention with her**
4. Because of family responsibilities, overnights aren't a realistic option for me right now.
That's it. The rest is a matter of me and him choosing to behave in the way we've defined for our relationship. As it's OUR behavior-it's not necessary to define it for someone else.
IF they asked questions about it-then I would hope we would answer honestly.
Where things have gone awry with her-is that he laid everything out as if every issue that may arise was based upon MY "rules" for him. When in fact these are the limits WE want for OURSELVES. He did it because he's so desperate to have SOMEONE-that he will say or do whatever he thinks they want to hear in order to impress them. It's happened with EVERY SINGLE WOMAN he's been interested in.
The result is that HE is disrespecting himself and me. He could simplify the process by internalizing the expectations HE HAS for our relationship and then simply living them and claiming them.
"Can you spend the night?" being answered with "LR wouldn't agree to that" complicates his life. He could answer truthfully with, "my family is my top priority, and those responsibilities make that impossible." That would answer the question point blank. I've done it-and it works.
She tries to kiss him the first time they meet-"I'm sorry, I find you very attractive, but I'm not comfortable with kissing yet."
Being upfront and openly honest and proactive in keeping his family involved when he's dating.
It's not hard, I've done it since I was 16. I never went on a "first date" one on one. I ALWAYS invited them to a family or group function that was "kid friendly" and included my daughter.
BECAUSE-then I immediately weeded out all of the people who weren't up to sharing me with my ALREADY EXISTING responsibility (daughter). If they made it through hanging out with the group, and they were friendly with her, they might make it to a one on one date eventually.
Dating one on one and privately from the get go creates complications, because it doesn't weed out the people who are looking for the one on one or single life experiences.
By keeping my dating online with my reality, I simplify the process of finding people who ACTUALLY fit with my REAL life. People who are actually able to understand the limitations that come with my current responsibilities. People who aren't expecting what I can't offer.
IF on the other hand I choose to schedule one night a week to go date someone without inclusivity-I limit myself significantly in regards to how involved in my real life they can be.
It's all about choices.
Maca's issue is that he won't make the choice. He wants someone and he wants them RIGHT NOW. So he grabs at anything that so much as looks at him twice. THEN he "puts his best foot forward" as he says, which is actually, putting his "single" foot forward, trying to woo them with expensive flowers, romance and one on one attention.
That's great, but he isn't willing to give up what he has at home-and he can't keep this AND be gone more than one night a week. SOOOOOOOOOOOO-when they get "hooked" and want more-he's screwed, because he can't give it.
If he chose to put his "married and willing to share" foot forward, they could see him every damn day of the week-WITH THE REST OF US TOGETHER and still have that one night all to themselves.

Re: Fed Cup I [2013] Sign In
Should this happen by default? I know we've always done it this way but I don't see how it's fair to have two human players in Group II just because there is a continent in Group I. Don't know just thinking out loud.

The only reference I can find to this menu problem is in Trac #14134 where the 16 menu object limit was due to suhosin. http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/14134
Since it is my server I have tweaked suhosin and memory limits to stupidly high levels but still get the same behavior of only 16 menu items - anything after that gets dropped and the last item in the menu gets switched to custom, whether it was a category or page.Makes me wonder if the limit is actually fifteen and a half :)
Tweaked php.ini:
suhosin.request.max_value_length = 999999
suhosin.post.max_value_length = 999999
suhosin.request.max_vars = 999999
suhosin.post.max_vars = 999999
suhosin.request.max_varname_length = 256
suhosin.request.max_totalname_length = 1024
suhosin.request.max_array_depth = 200
Confirmed these configurations are being registered by checking phpinfo and everything is as entered above. Problem exists on other WP installs on this server.
Tried disabling plugins just in case and did a trace through the WP code confirming that the number of items in the POST array are never more than 16, also restarted the server, waved the dead chicken and turned around three times... no luck.
Any suggestions?
