Either way, it won't work the way you want. As I understand, you don't want to use a directional antenna, and this is an important piece of hardware for this method to work, because you'll just need to point it and check were the signal strength is better. With omnidirectional antennas, you'll have to wander in circles in order to determine the direction of the frames, and still it would be very difficult.
@Snayler : yes, thanks for filling in for my bad memory and approximate terms I wasn't too far off though ! And I agree with everything else you said, so you save me some time and thinking !
Running both KDE and GNOME BT5 flawlessly. Thank you !
Yeah.. using directional antenna will just make me too obvious. I will just keep using WiFiFoFum in my Iphone. Does close enough job.
Thanks to all and still looking.
I use wigle to perform a big area scan (android APP) and import the map on google maps.
Then use another android APP called "analizzatore di rete" to refine my search.
Any wifi device has an omnidirectional antenna, which receives signals from anywhere. The only way to use this is for you to physically move closer and further away from the source, to determine its location out of signal strength. This is why a directional antenna, of any size, would be helpful. Seems like a small -panel- antenna would be inconspicuous.
Now have tried wigle and Wifi Analyzer in Android. Looks good as well. Thanks for the advice.
WiFiFoFum doesn't really tell you what direction the signal is coming from either. It's just guessing, and throwing the ssid's on the "radar" image based on signal strength. You'll never get a very accurate picture from a single omnidirectional antenna. Even with a directional antenna you might get a direction, but depending on the environment, you might actually get a better signal off a reflection, which might actually be stronger if something else is directly between you and the ap. Anybody who's played in a fox and hound hunt will tell you this.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

Has anyone updated to ACS 5.3 yet? If so, any complications?
Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPad App
yes, I upgraded from 5.2 to 5.3 and have following problems:
Network connectivity error when trying to access the "vendors" and "network devices" sites in the web gui
System error when trying to edit an internal user...
No change after installing backup.
Did it on two different ACS - same problem.
I will now try a complete reimage...
I'm hoping not to have to reimage the appliance. Keep us posted on if you find any other issues.
I upgraded. running the 220.127.116.11 version. I seem to have an issue specific to MSNPAllowDialin=True string when using AD I can validate group membership but the directory attributes seem to cause problems.
I remember reading that one of the new features on the release notes had something to do with Dial-In Attribute Support:
Dial-In Attribute Support
The Dial-In Attribute feature enhancement includes:
• Dial-in permissions
You can allow, deny, and control access of dial-in permissions of a user. The permissions are
checked during authentications or queries from Active Directory. It is set on the Active Directory
dedicated dictionary.
• Callback
You can set up callback options. The server calls the caller back during the connection process if
this option is enabled. The phone number that is used by the server, is set either by a the caller or
the network administrator.
I upgraded using the upgrade support bundle, from 5.1 to 5.2 to 5.3. No issues upgrading, but the tabs under the Dashboard disappeared when trying to access in both IE8 and Firefox. So brought appliance back to 5.1 factory and used upgrade bundle to go form 5.1 to 5.3. No issues upgrading, Dashboard back and fully functional.
I am seeing strange behavior though from my 7945 Cisco IP Phones. When they authenticated in 5.1 no issues. In 5.3 they authenticate and then a minute later fail with error 5411 EAP session timed out. When I check the phone works fine and appears authenticated on the switch. So the failure might be a bogus message but not sure. has anyone had this issue in 5.3??
I upgraded using the bundle.
But now the Process status info tells me this:
View-database: Does not exist
View-logprocessor: not monitored
At the same time, i have this message in the Alarms Inbox:
The View 5.2database has been upgraded to 5.3 and is ready for activation.
So the question is: How do i activate it?
After another reload of the server, the view-database has now status of running.
But the view-logprocessor is still not monitored.
What does not monitored mean?
And the Cisco ACS View Dashboard is empty, but I guess thats related?
What now?
Go to following link:
Monitoring Configuration > System Operations > Data Upgrade Status
Should be an option there to see status of upgrade and activate the database
Hi, and thanks for answering.
I see the Data Upgrade Status, and it says Upgrade completed successfully.
But other than that, the page is completely empty. No buttons, no link, nothing exept that short message.
There should be an option to "Switch Database". I thought it was on this page.
Well, it's not.
Luckily, our ACS runs on VMWare, so it was easy to revert back to v5.2.
Crap. Cannot have a radius server without a working log service. So it stays v5.2 until maybe some of the ACS programmers can answer this?
Some updates.
First my mistake and there is no longer a "Switch Database" option after the upgrade
Second there is a patch available for ACS 5.3 (patch 1 - 5-3-0-40-1) that includes a fix for the following issue as taken from the release notes
CSCtu15651 ACS view upgrade failure
This issue occurred during application upgrade from 5.1 or 5.2 to 5.3. After upgrade view-logprocessor is not started. The customer is advised to install this patch if view data upgrade was failed. The upgrade procedure happens successfully when the service is restarted at time of patch installation.
I got it up and running now.
I reverted back to v5.2. After I did that, I found out the clock wasn't set right.
After i synced it against our NTP server, I tried upgrading again, and this time I had no problems.
I still had to build the Dashboard manually, though.
Maybe this is the problem for some of you others here too?
We are having this same issue after upgrading from 5.1 to 5.2 and I have not been able to get it resolved. We are using the 1121 physical server appliance so no way to go back. I just cannot figure out why that 'view log-processor' will not go to Monitored. Without it, we appear to have no visibility to the reports. We are seeing the following in the contents of the associated log file if anyone can make sense of it.

Any ideas what could be the reason for this behaviour and how to fix it?
After the upgrade we get also this error in the "Cisco Secure ACS View":

It seems that the applet class is not found in the specified path to run. I remember that cumulative patches for version 5.1 fixed this problem. Are there any patches for version 5.3 available ?
It would be great if you could provide me a solution / workaround
Does a software reboot give you the same error as a cold reboot?
Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPhone App
Hi ewood,
we tried both variants of rebooting (soft & cold) but still the same error.
After upgrading from 5.2 to 5.3 we got:
Process 'view-database' Restarting
After restarting the ACS appliance all processes have been running.
TAC have managed to replicate this from my ACS backups - and have raised bug CSCtw59271 for me for this issue:
|Random Network Device corruption after upgrade from ACS 5.2 to 5.3.
After application upgrade from ACS 5.2 to 5.3 some Network Devices experience corruption. (Not all NDs are corrupt, only a few).
* Symptom 1: Some Network Devices give the following error on clicking them: ?This System Failure occurred: Has empty AVPAir. Your changes have not been saved. Click ok to return to the list page"
* Symptom 2: Some Network Devices which were working before the upgrade start failing authentication with reason "NDG is not known or has the wrong key". Once the TACACS key is modified/or just edited to be the same key, they start passing authentication.
Upgrade of ACS 5.2 to 5.3.
Modifies the TACACS+ shared secret of the Network Device, re-enter the same key and save the Network device
No fix - but the workaround is just what I was doing - for a device not authenticating, make any change to the TACACS key and then put it back - and auth works again. For a corrupt device - just delete and re-add. Annoying - but once you know, it's not a big issue.
We upgraded a few weeks ago using the upgrade bundle from 5.2 to 5.3.
The upgrade itself went fairly smoothly - but I had to manually reboot each ACS (primary and secondary) during the upgrade - instead of them rebooting themselves automatically. Had to sit on my hands for an hour to stop me rebooting it in case it really was still doing something - but gave up and rebooted in the end and came back up fine.
Also had some very odd issues with network devices seemingly being 'corrupted' aswell.
I did a fresh install at 5.2 - and used the bulk import to import all our ND's from the CVS file - and I've found (on 5.2 aswell) that some of them look ok - but they don't authenticate (and no messages in the ACS View at all - not even saying eg. wrong tacacs key or IP etc) - until you make some sort of change to the tacacs key - eg. add a '1' onto the end of the string - and then remove it again (back to the same key) - and it suddenly starts working. TAC seem to think this may be 'non unicode characters' issue in the key - but lots of our keys are the same - and I created the CSV file with all devices (eg. copy & paste) - so don' t see how some work and some don't - and I would have thought that the import tool should pick that up anyway?
Since the 5.3 upgrade - I then had some issues with some ND's showing a very odd error when you clicked on them in the network devices list - "This System Failure occurred: Has empty AVPair.. Your changes have not been saved. Click ok to return to the list page" - so you couldn't even view what was in the ND. Each ND needed to be manually deleted - and then re-added - and then worked fine - so I think this is an upgrade ND-corruption issue - but TAC can't replicate or see anything in any backups etc. Not a major issue as we just deleted ND's and re-created - but a bit of a pain.
Anyone else seen any similar issues?
Apart from that - all is good with 5.3. Quite a few little things seem to have been fixed along the way aswell.
I had that same issue with importing from a CVS file. However, it was with 5.2. Very strange indeed.
On a side note, It seems I can no longer authenticate to my child domain. Everything looks fine, including the directory groups and the policies. Pretty annoying.
I had the same issue with the TACACS keys in 5.2. Nothing shows up in the logs for some devices. Copy and pasting the key or even resubmitting and it works.
Can anyone shed some light on whether I can restore the backup made on ACS5.1 to the freshly installed ACS5.3 ?
Secondly, can I have ACS administrators/users athenticate using an external Identity Store, i.e. Microsoft AD ?
I've seen the TAC guys say they've restored a 5.2 backup onto a 5.3 - so I guess it must be possible - but haven't done it myself.
I beleive ACS administrators have to be local ACS users - don't think they can be linked to AD. If it is possible - let me know!
There's also the ADE user (admin) - from the ADE CLI - it looks like you can define a TACACs server for that aswell - but I wasn't sure about the sanity of having the login to the ADE relying on ACS - if you're trying to login to ADE to fix ACS - so I didn't try that myself!
Ok, let's call them ACS users, not administrators. Our client has a strict requirement to have all user ID integrated with just one Identity source which is Microsoft AD. What's ADE user, Rob ?
Hi All
Upgrading ACS from 5.1 to 5.3, do I need a base image for 5.3 or can I just upgrade from the Cisco download page: ACS_188.8.131.52.tar.gz.
Regards Craig
You can upgrade from ACS 5.1 directly to ACS 5.3. See
Note there have been some issues with log collection starting after upgrade to ACS 5.3, as reported earlier in this thread
There is a patch scheduled to be released in about a week that will resolve one of these issues:
CSCtu15651 ACS view upgrade failure
and it may be worth waiting to upgrade until that patch becomes available
The next release of ACS, 5.4, will have an option for adminstrators to be retrieved from an external store such as active directory
Another thing I ran into while researching on potential methods of upgrade to ACS5.3
But first of all I wanted to see how the restore on ACS5.3 works. To do it I first made a backup to the remote software repository via TFTP and then deleted all configuration for all devices, profiles, policies and users from the server. The next logical step is to try a restore. I followed the above mentioned Cisco's guide and was suprised that it didn't work.
Copying the output from ACS CLI:
acs53/admin# restore acs53-ACS53-111212-1630.tar.gpg repository Backup
Restore requires a reboot to successfully complete. Continue? (yes/no) [yes] ?
find: backup/cars: No such file or directory
% No operating system data found in this backup. Use the 'application option to restore an app-specific backup
Question 1: Why the heck does ACS expects to find any operating system data if it is just the backup of the configuration
Question 2: What is the application option to restore app-specific backup?
These are all application CLI options available:
acs53/admin# application ?
install Install An Application Bundle
remove Uninstall An Application
reset-config Reset application configuration to factory defaults
start Start an Application
stop Stop an Application
upgrade Upgrade An Application Bundle
Question 3: What am I doing wrong ?
There have been issues seen with using tftp for large file sizes; like a backup and restore. It is recommended to use ftp
There are two flavors of backup commands:
On primary will backup OS config + ACS db. On secondary will backup OS config only
On primary will backup ACS db. Nothing to backup on secondary.
Similarly restore. The restore you are looking will therefore look for operating system data which may not be there due to tftp issues
Ok, lesson learned, never use TFTP. But why the heck it is available as the protocol option? Who wants to invite problems anyway ? Quick question though. What's the difference between OS config and ACS db. I mean what would I need to back from the OS if it is hardened Red Hat Linux and we only work with ACS application.
By ACS db I am referring to the configuration information for ACS performed from within the ACS application
It is possible to make changes to the OS config from the CLI and this is what gets backed up when OS config is backed up. It is less relevant if use the ACS GUI only
There are issues historically with tftp. The original protocol has a file size limit of 32 MB. Thjs was later extended to 4 GB. So need to also make sure that tftp servers supports larger files. I will try and ascertain status of tftp support
Aha... My backup file is only 6 MB of size. Then I wouldn't expect any size limitation for TFTP. The actual error message was about not being able to find operating system data in the backup and I did the backup using the first option via CLI (see your listing of two flavours). Does it mean there's still an underlying problem with TFTP or I'm missing something?
>What's ADE user, Rob ?
ADE is Application Deployment Engine - which is the OS that the ACS 'application' runs on. ie. cisco have developed their flavour of linux into a hardened OS - that they then run ACS and other applications on.
When you connect to the CLI - that's ADE - so thats your 'admin' user. When you connect to the web-interface and login with 'acsadmin' - thats ACS.
So you've got:
- ADE users - eg. admin - local to the box (although there's options to refer to a TACACS server as I mentioned (but haven't tried)
- ACS Administrators - eg. acsadmin - local to ACS - but in ACS 5.4 - may be able to refer to external user directories
- ACS users - ie. users you create in ACS (we don't have any as we're using our Active Directory for all user-auths)
Same ACS/ADE split with the backups:
- ACS backup just backs up the ACS configuration. Can do scheduled backups from the GUI. Comes from the primary only
- 'backup' backs up ACS + ADE (console/ssh - and 'show run') - but only manual from CLI. If you run from the secondary - only includes ADE config
freshly succesfully installed an ACS on a VMWare. i am having problem in accesing the web gui. a console PC residing on the same network with the ACS can ping but cannot browse throught the ACS' Web GUI. please help. do i miss out some needed configuration to have it accesible. thanks!!!
Couple quick first suggestions
login as "admin" into CLI on box and check that all services are running with the following command
show application status acs
ACS role: PRIMARY
Process 'database' running
Process 'management' running
Process 'runtime' running
Process 'view-database' running
Process 'view-jobmanager' running
Process 'view-alertmanager' running
Process 'view-collector' running
Process 'view-logprocessor' running
Check that all processes are running; especially management
If not issue the following commands to restart the processes and then check again
applicaiton stop acs
application start acs
ok try this out tomorrow. thanks!
i have checked the status of the ACS but the ADE can't display any application. Output is "error finding status information for the application:acs". I am trying to start and stop the ACS via the ADE but it can't start the application. "application failed to start".

Hi ,
using version 5.3 upgrade 5-3-0-40-2.
not able to add more than 10 tacacs attributes when trying to configure Shell profile for my WCS wireless controller. it kiks me out. i then decide to use WCS on local mode. any help will be hightly appreciated.
Yes. There is an issue on patch 2 as follows:
CSCtx18638 Cannot add custom shell attribute with keyword alert
This is resolved to be resolved in patch 3 which is due to be released early next week.
Issue was introduced on patch 1 of ACS 5.3 so to work around that will need to remove all 5.3 patches
Patch 3 for ACS 5.3 has now been posted on CCO and includes a fix for
CSCtx18638 Cannot add custom shell attribute with keyword alert
I have already downloaded the patch, but I cannot see the release notes - I would like to check what else has been fixed.
Does it get posted later ???
I think it is just taking time to make its way through the system
I am posting the list of CDETS below. Note there are a significant number of fixes related to interaction with active directory
- CSCtx11180 ACS sometimes fails to fetch group info for users in trusted domain
- CSCtw71563 ACS gets disconnected from AD if received duplicate A records for DC
- CSCtu15832 ACS 5.2 will not recover from an RPC failure with a domain controller
- CSCtx71254 ACS 5.3 disconnecting from AD "unlatch" is seen in adclient logs
- CSCty19628 Unassign Mschapv2 group retrieval failure Duplicate of CSCtx11180
- CSCty60915 ACS 5.3 pre-authentication failures with AD for some users

- CSCtz03036 AD Agent cache should be flushed when core is generated
- CSCtz03943 ACS exposes the AD account username and password
Hello, I have the following situation, when testing compatibility with Juniper Devices:
At first we used the Custom Attributes Juniper as Optional, but when trying to log into the switch ocurred a permission error.
By modifying the Custom Attribute to mandatory, we had success in testing juniper switch.
Nonetheless, we had problems using mandatory attributes with C6500. The workaround was to change it to optional.
The first solution that we think is a rule only for Devices that use the IOS and other rule to other vendors that requires mandatory attributes.
But in order to minimize the number of rules we would like to try another solution if one exists. If you know a way to make the Juniper Devices work with optional attributes would be helpful. Thus our groups who have full access does not need more than one rule.
Follows printscreen with the configuration with custom attributes configured in the shell profile used in the tests.
We've exactly the same problem with using a common shell profile for cisco devices and juniper devices.
So far, we've created a seperate rule and profiles for cisco and juniper devices.
I've got information that ACS will send optional attribute once asked for it.
I'm not sure if juniper (in our example switch) requests for this attribute or not.
Have you managed to solve this issue ?
Any more ideas ?
Good morning D1pol01978.
The recommendation of Cisco's.

Americans Spending Less on Halloween This Year
(Los Angeles, CA) -- The majority of Americans plan to do something to celebrate Halloween later this month. But they'll also be keeping an eye on their budget.
More than 80-percent of the respondents in a CreditDonkey.com poll say they'll be spending as much or less than they did on Halloween last year.
A third plan to mark the occasion by decorating their homes, and 65-percent will be carving pumpkins. Just over 60-percent have an invitation to an adult Halloween party, while 18-percent have a kids' party on their Halloween schedule.
The public is closely divided on Halloween costumes, with 51-percent saying they'll buy a pre-made outfit and 49-percent planning to wear something they've made themselves. Only a third say they'll be hitting the streets to go trick-or-treating on October 31st.

QAQTR8PP: QTR-8 John Quayle "Higgins" III Pre-Production
QTRM5TR Knives
Affectionately known as "Higgins" the straight-shooter, no-nonsense. Ever. QTRM5TR used a frame lock design on this model, but due to the length of the blade & lock-tang, they placed an overlay piece on the lock side. This block functions similar to a 'doorstop' preventing overextension of the lockbar and adds a bit of grippability to the frame side. No matter how much outward force is applied, because of our "rogue block" the lock may never be rendered 'over-extended' and ineffective. The blade is an American-style tanto with a finger-guard that sees double duty as a flipper device. Finally when the knife is open, it reveals its symmetry and has ideal 4-corner lashing points using the hollowed chain ring bolts at the base of the handle and the through-holes at the base of the blade. A true tactical tool: hard, fast, sharp, ready for the world and more.
About the ORB® Pivot System:
The ORB® Pivot System is a sealed ball-bearing technology that is widely considered the second generation of an open-bearing system that is being used by some manufacturers today.
The ORB's advantages are plenty: dirt and pocket lint cannot impede the track of these rollers, they're encased. The ball-bearing system tightens the tolerances in and around the pivot of the folding knife, as a result the lock-up is vault tight, yet the rollers allow for almost effortless rotation.
The lack of 'play' at any point on the rotational axis of the blade is truly unlike anything currently being made at this price point in the United States.
About the Tri-Spoke Pivot Assembly:
A single thread weaves its way through every corner of the knife industry: the desire to be original. To author some form, to create something unique and memorable lives at the desk of every designer throughout our profession.
QTRM5TR's signature, at the present point on their timeline is the Tri-Spoke Pivot® Assembly. At the heart of the Tri-Spoke Pivot assembly is the T10 Torx slot, but the science around the perimeter is what's most interesting. By engineering their own unique hardware and implementing the component as an oversized pivot, they allow our folding knives to distribute the force of assembly over a larger area, allowing the knife to pivot at the same speed throughout its smooth rotation. The results are stunning to say the least.

After creating a little apple card using school goodies by Whimsie Doodles the other day I had a perfectly good apple that should not go to waste. Used a little cork, which was die cut, and my favorite ribbon to complete this thank you card.The best use of scraps...embellishments or tags. This little 3" card was simple to make and allowed me to use stamps that have been tucked away for some time. I took out my stamps today and spilled them all over the kitchen counter. So fun and can't wait to share more with you over the next two weeks using them to mix it up a little.
Remember my favorite ribbon is from Prairie Bird Boutique, the little bird is from The Wonder clear stamp set over at Paper Garden Projects and everything else is from a little of this and that.
Go...create...and as always enjoy!

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Staring at the ceiling is a good idea at Stuff Antiques, a place that's really all about the best in period lighting. Joe, the owner, clearly is obsessed with fine examples of exceptional period lamps and light fixtures; his place is filled to the rafters with stunning examples of Victorian, Arts and Crafts, Art Deco, and Midcentury Modern pieces. The stuff is pricey (and none of it is priced, which means having to have a conversation with Joe, which is a good thing — he's a blast!), but you won't find a better selection anywhere of fully restored lights and lamps. As much an homage to the history of electric lighting as a shop, Stuff also offers antique furniture and vintage medical cabinets for sale, as well as restoration services. You'll think of Stuff and of Joe every time you flick the switch on the fabulous lamp you bought at this Phoenix perennial.
There are three factors that contribute to a good shot of espresso — beans, machine, and barista. If even one of the pieces of that trifecta is off, your shot of espresso can suffer. Luckily, the boys behind Scottsdale Quarter's Press Coffee Roasters have the process down. Created with their bold house-roasted Twitch Espresso Blend and pulled by their talented baristas off their top-of-the-line Synesso espresso machine, the end result is a perfectly balanced earthy shot of espresso with hints of sweet fruit, notes of chocolate, and a slightly smoky finish.A great way to start the day — or make sure it doesn't start too early.
Great coffee starts with high-quality beans, and the folks at Cartel score only the best from Brazil for their impressive Black Market Espresso. The four-bean blend is sourced from a single high-elevation farm in the Sul de Mina region of Brazil, where it goes through its natural pulping process on-site before it is shipped off the farm. Cartel then roasts these beans to perfection, creating a bold-flavored coffee with citrus and chocolate notes and a dash of sweetness.
We were sold on this quaint and cozy coffee shop the second that designer-turned-barista Pat Flanagan opened the doors of his freshly remodeled spot last spring. The warm interior and interesting artwork begs you to take a few minutes out of your day to stay and enjoy a cup of freshly brewed coffee (beans courtesy of Lux). But Carmel's isn't just a coffee house — it serves a full menu of delicious breakfast and lunch treats. Fresh-baked quiches, scones, and muffins, flaky croissant sandwiches, and even crepes are available. When the weather permits, Carmel's has plenty of patio space to savor your coffee while watching traffic go by on Camelback.
All of the sudden, there's a lot of coffee competition on Roosevelt Row. But for us, there's no contest. Fresh house-roasted beans, an in-house bakery, an omelet bar, and a beautiful selection of rotating artwork are just a few reasons why Lola is our go-to downtown coffee shop. Artisan coffee roaster and latte art fanatic Daniel Wayne has created a laid-back atmosphere with a welcoming demeanor — and some of the best whipped cream in town. The espresso-infused whip gives Lola's coffee drinks a sweet and creamy kick. Try the dark chocolate and orange Café Borgia or the coffee shop's almost famous Matador.
Crepes and coffee go together like peanut butter and jelly, David Lee Roth and Van Halen, or vodka and Red Bull. Without one, the other is lonely and incomplete. Thankfully, Cupz N' Crepes is keeping the coffee-and-crepe team together at its Paris-inspired shop in Ahwatukee. Dig into a delicate crepe packed full of sweet Nutella and ripe bananas or the savory Veggie Delight, filled with spinach, tomatoes, and goat cheese. The coffee is always fresh and the bold espresso drinks are expertly crafted. A can't-miss breakfast or lunch stop on the south side of town.

TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Jim Dickrell Dairy Herd Management Dairy Editor Email Preliminary results from what is argu-ably the world's largest controlled crossbreeding study are beginning to dribble in. So far, there are no surprises, says Les Hansen, the Univer-sity of Minnesota dairy geneticist who is leading the effort. "After four years, more than 4,000 heifer calves have been born within the study; however, fewer than 10% of the anticipated cows for the study have calved and also completed their first lactation," Hansen says. Bonus Content More on crossbreeding Crossbreds live longer The study enrolled 4,185 Holstein virgin heifers and cows from 10 high-producing Minnesota herds in 2008. Forty percent of the females are being bred to Holstein bulls. The remainder are bred to either Montbeliarde or Swedish Red AI bulls to initiate an eventual three-breed rotation. Eventually, more than 10,000 dairy cows will contribute data to the study over an eight-year span, according to Hansen. The early, two-year-old milk production results show essentially no difference among the breed groups. All three came in at about 24,000 lb.per cow. Differences did come in pounds of components, however. The Montbeliarde × Holstein (MxH) and Swedish Red × Holstein (SR×H) had about 4% more pounds of fat (33 lb.) The M×H had 5% more pounds of protein (35 lb.). When the total solids were combined, the M×H had 4% more total solids (67 lb.) than the pure Holsteins and the SR×H had 3% (55 lb.) more. "The key to crossbreeding is to continue to use top sires from each breed in order to get a valid comparison," Hansen says. The crossbred cattle might not have as much milk in their pedigree as pure Holsteins. "But when you crossbreed, you get the heterosis effect and eliminate any inbreeding effect," he says. Survival rates through first lactation were no different for Holsteins and M×H. But the SR×H had about 45% fewer animals leaving the herd. Body condition scores (BCS)were greater for the crossbreds. Holsteins averaged 3.15 BCS compared to 3.62 for the M×H and 3.36 for the SR×H. In an earlier study done with the University of Minnesota campus herd, M×H showed more body condition as well. And they averaged 80 lb. heavier. "In our campus trial, the Montbeliarde crosses required no additional feed intake than the Holsteins, yet they produced as much milk solids and had higher body condition scores," Hansen says. In other words, they appear to be better at feed conversion to milk and body condition. Other differences from the field trial thus far: The SR×H had significantly less height than the other cattle. Holsteins had shallower udders with stronger udder cleft as two-year-olds compared to crossbreds. Holsteins had closer rear teat placement and significantly shorter teat length than the M×H. M×H had significantly less set to the hock than Holsteins, and SR×H had more set to the hock than Holsteins. In general, participating dairy producers have been pleased with the crossbred cattle. One or two, though, have expressed concern about the lack of dairy character with the M×H heifers.

Trey's technique and philosophy in training mirrors that of the "natural horsemanship" style of training widely used today.
While many trainers are indeed successful in this style, Trey seems to excel in it. His passion for the horse and rider is so evident from your first meeting with him that you know right away you have chosen the right trainer for your horse.
Having worked with other horsemen such as Chris Cox, Jay Holmes, and others, Trey's knowledge and experience are invaluable tools that contribute to the success he has so enjoyed in his relationship with the horse. Watch "Trey Young, The American Horseman" for more.
Trey Young was raised in the small town of Crawfordville, FL, which is nestled between Tallahassee and the Gulf of Mexico. At an early age Trey discovered he had a passion for horses and ranch life. He inherited this passion from his father Skip Young, who also realized the need to preserve the American tradition's of Ranching and the horse.
Once he was old enough, Trey became a member of the Florida High School Rodeo Association and entered the team roping, bull riding, and calf roping events. Trey and his long time partner, Gabe Gray, typically placed high among the competition.
When Trey was 16, his dreams of bull riding and roping almost came to a fatal end while competing at a high school rodeo event, that resulted in a cracked skull, and 20 days in ICU in a Tampa hospital. His days of riding bulls were over, but he continued competing and dominating in team roping. After graduating high school, Trey moved to Texas with a scholarship to Weatherford College in roping. After competing in college for only one year, Trey moved on to the PRCA and competed as a professional. Traveling across the country for 5years, Trey met countless people, and learned about life. Looking back on his journey, Trey is grateful for all the lessons learned good and bad.
In early 2011, Trey began filming his television show, "Trey Young, the American Horseman." The series portrays Trey for who he is,and what he has learned. In between filming he continues to ride outside horses, as well as his own.He hosts many types of clinics at the ranch and across the country. Trey hopes by documenting the American way of horsemanship, he can do his part in preserving the Americans love for the horse.
For the future, Trey's goal is to take this American style of horsemanship world wide.

George Jones biography to be published in April
Listen to George Jones on iHeartRadio
George Jones' story is being put in print. Songwriter Earl "Peanutt" Montgomery and his wife Charlene are sharing their memories of the late country great in the upcoming book The Legend of George Jones.
A release from the publisher says the Montgomerys drew on their own experiences with Jones to compile a collection of stories that "set the record straight," and "document the real heart and soul of George Jones."
In the book they shed new light on a number of incidents and issues from the storied singer's life, including the time George tried to kill Peanutt.
The book, has received approval from all four of Jones' children, comes with a 12-track CD including two previously unreleased George Jones songs.
The Legend of George Jones will be in stores on April 15th.

PACIFIC PALISADES - Luke Donald joked that he's not officially working with Michael Jordan.
Jordan is a friend, but one might consider him Donald's mentor, too. Donald is reaping plenty of benefits from his friendship with Jordan, who he watched play with the Bulls while in school in England, and then later while he was at Northwestern.
"I've known Michael for quite a few years," Donald said. "We met through golf in Chicago and obviously the last couple of years we've become closer. We live very close to each other now in Florida and play some golf together.
"His fiancee and my wife are good friends so we hang out a bit.
"It's great to be around someone that was arguably the greatest of all time in his sport. Just to see how he reacts, his demeanor, see his attitude toward things.
"It's been nice just to spend quite a little bit of time with him."
Donald is not too shabby when it comes to mental toughness. He shot a 5-under 66 on Friday to put himself in good position after two rounds of the Northern Trust Open. He's now ranked third.
And Donald is one of the most consistent golfers on the planet and once was the world's No. 1 golfer. He has yet to win a major. Jordan's advice is surely better than anything a sports psychologist could give.
"I think in no way am I working with Jordan," Donald said with a laugh. "We literally are just friends. I try to pick up things from just watching him. I ask him some questions, and he gives me answers sometimes.
"Certainly, it's not like a working relationship. It's just nice to have access to someone that was that great at his sport."
Jordan turns 50 on Sunday, and highlights of his career and stories are filling the airwaves and Internet.
UCLA connection
Patrick Cantlay, the former UCLA golfer who played on a sponsor's exemption, missed the cut after firing a second-round 75. He finished 4-over par for the tournament, but is expected to return today to host a kids' golf clinic.
UCLA grad Brandt Jobe fired a 5-under 66 in the first round and was on the leaderboard, but he shot a 4-over 75 on Friday. Still, he can turn things around this weekend.
Sights and sounds
Friday was USC day at the Northern Trust Open, so some fans wore their USC gear to the course. Some athletes were here and cheerleaders, too. Today is UCLA day. ...
After a man driving a golf cart with television equipment nearly ran over defending champion Bill Haas' golf ball right of the cart path on No. 12, the television worker complained to an official that it was the official's job to tell him where to drive. A fan, holding a bear, deadpanned that the man should stay on the golf cart, and he'd be OK. The official responded: "well said." ...
It has yet to rain at Riviera Country Club this week (it didn't rain here last year either despite historically doing so during the tournament). The forecast is for sun today and Sunday as well ...
There will likely be no Gretzky sightings this weekend. Dustin Johnson, who's dating Wayne's daughter Paulina, was expected to miss the cut.

Loretta Saunders with her friend's daughter Shyanne, at the North West River beach, July 2010. Submitted
©The Labradorian - TC Media
Editor's note: Derek Montague is a reporter/photographer at TC Media's The Labradorian and is a friend of Loretta Saunders. He can be reached by email at email@example.com
As I write this, I'm not sure what I should type, or what I can even say to describe the pain that's reverberating throughout Labrador right now. We've lost one of our own, in the most tragic way possible.
A beautiful young woman, three months pregnant, murdered while on her way to becoming a lawyer; a full life ahead of her.
For more than a week, we came together in order to comfort each other, and raise much needed money so Loretta Saunders' family could fly to Halifax and look for their loved one.
Between Feb. 17, when Loretta was reported missing, and Feb 26, our hearts and minds were focused on brining Loretta home. We had hope. But that hope came crashing down on Wednesday, Feb. 26, as media reports quickly spread through Facebook of the discovery of her body.
The search was over. Loretta will be coming home, but not in the way we had wished for.
The night of Feb. 26, 2014 will always stick out in my mind. Never before have I seen such a dark cloud hang over central Labrador. Never before have I seen such a public outpouring of grief and anger.
So what can I say that would help anyone, even myself, feel any better? Right now I feel like throwing my laptop across the room. I feel like yelling and screaming. But what good would that do?
Loretta and I were friends as teenagers. We met at an LIA Youth Symposium in Postville. I was 16 years old; she was just 15. As soon as I met her, I was enchanted.
She had such a kind soul. She was intelligent, lively, bright, and had one of the most beautiful smiles you'd ever see. It was very easy to befriend someone like her.
My billets in Postville let me use their snowmobile to get around town. I remember coming across Loretta and some other friends while riding on their machine.
Loretta asked me to hang out and take a walk around Postville with them. I was so happy with the invite that, when I went to drop off the snowmobile, I parked it outside the wrong house. I can still hear Loretta laughing at me as I ran up the hill to get the snowmobile back.
We remained in touch while we were teenagers. I would stop in and visit with her while she worked at Burger King from time to time, and we spent a lot of evenings chatting on MSN Messenger.
But we drifted apart as we got older. Now I wish I had been able to stay in touch longer, so I could have a few more memories of Loretta to bank on.
Those warm and funny memories we have of Loretta are more important now than ever. Sometimes the healing process can begin with a story.
That's how it began for me more than three years ago, when I lost one of my best friends in university. Like Loretta, Andrew was young (only 21 at the time of his death) and was a post-secondary student with a bright future ahead of him.
It was Sunday, Oct. 24, 2010, when it all happened. I awoke that morning to lay out the sports section of the Saint Thomas University student newspaper for the next edition.
As soon as I awoke I got a text message on my phone from a friend, informing me that Andrew wasn't answering his phone.
Most of that morning is a blur. But after making several frantic phone calls, my friends and I were in a hospital waiting room, being told that Andrew, whom I loved like a brother, was gone. I screamed, and I cried, and I pounded the floor with my fists.
After the initial wave of sadness, came a numbing sense of shock and disbelief, followed by numbed silence. Until one of us spoke up and asked, "would anyone mind if I told a story about Andrew?"
Looking back, that was when the slow healing process began for me. We spent the next several days telling each other stories of Andrew out loud and writing them down on paper. Each memory was so invaluable during those first few days of grief, and it was important to share every one of them.
After meeting Andrew's wonderful family for the first time, we were able to swap stories. They told us about Andrew's childhood, and we told them about Andrew's life in university. Combined, Andrew's life story became more complete.
Now is the time for everyone to do the same for Loretta. Let's share her stories, not just to keep her memory alive, but to help each other begin the healing process.
Share the memories of this precious young lady that make you smile and laugh; the ones that warm your heart. Based on the amount of pain and loss being expressed in Labrador right now, it's clear Loretta touched the lives of many, and created a lot of stories worth telling.

Two Avon students recovering from whooping cough
(Lorain County) - The Avon Local Schools have informed parents that two elementary pupils were recently diagnosed with whooping cough.
Superintendent Michael Laub says the students are in the same grade level and probably had contact with each other, with one passing the ailment to the other.
Laub tells Newsradio WTAM parents and guardians are taking the news in stride. He's urging families to watch for the symptoms because the incubation period can extend for nearly three weeks. If a child develops symptoms they should be treated right away.
Laub says they are continuing to work with the Lorain County General Health District.
Ohio health administrators are encouraging Ohioans to get up to date on booster shot vaccinations against whooping cough amid outbreaks around the state.
The Ohio Department of Health says the highly contagious disease is one of the most commonly occurring vaccine-preventable ones in the United States. The disease also known as pertussis is usually spread it by coughing or sneezing.
Health officials say it affects all ages but is most severe for babies. More than half of infants less than 1 year of age with pertussis must be hospitalized. It can be deadly in rare cases.
Officials say 901 Ohio cases were reported as of Nov. 2, compared with 742 by that date last year.
Pertussis usually starts with cold-like symptoms before it progresses to a persistent cough with spasms.

Continuing and Part-time Studies
Laurier String Academy offers unique violin program for youth
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Jun 20/08| For Immediate Release
Dr. Jerzy Kaplanek, Associate Professor, Faculty of Music
Kevin Crowley, Associate Director, News and Editorial Services
WATERLOO Violin hopefuls ages five to 18 will have the opportunity to study at Wilfrid Laurier University as part of its new String Academy. The academy will also provide a teaching lab setting for Laurier music students.
Laurier is the first Canadian university to offer the violin program, which was developed by Mimi Zweig of Indiana University and based on the philosophies of Shinichi Suzuki, Paul Rolland and Ivan Galamian. The program format has been successful at reputable American universities and musical conservatories throughout Europe.
The academys students will learn musical theory and play the violin through both private and group lessons, which include master classes, chamber music and performance opportunities.
The first years of musical instruction are the most important as they set the stage for everything that follows, said academy instructor Vanessa Mio, who studied under Zweig at Indiana University for seven years. The philosophy behind the method is to establish a secure technical and musical foundation from the very first lesson in a relaxed and non-judgmental manner.
The academys goal is to develop a love and understanding of music, whether or not students become professionals.
The violin is quite difficult to learn, said Jerzy Kaplanek, associate professor in the Faculty of Music. We are offering a well-established program with great principles and teaching methods that will allow us to develop one of the leading violin classes in Canada.
Mio earned a Master of Music, Bachelor of Music and Performance Diploma from the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, as well as an Associate of the Royal Conservatory of Music (ARCT) Teachers Diploma in piano. She has toured with orchestras throughout Canada and Europe, and developed her own class of violinists while working with Zweig.
In addition to instructing at the Laurier String Academy, Mio will teach the String Pedagogy course to Laurier music students.
The String Academy will bring a whole new dimension to students in our pedagogy course, said Kaplanek. It will give Laurier students a teaching lab where they will have the opportunity to observe and assist in a teaching environment.
The Laurier String Academy program will be offered during the fall, winter and spring terms. The program is 36 weeks long and incorporates a private lesson and a group lesson each week. No previous musical experience is necessary. Parents are required to attend lessons and practice with their children to encourage their training.
For further information and to register, visit www.wlu.ca/coned/strings or call 519-884-0710 ext. 6036.

Another thing my Mum mentioned when I spoke to her, is that she thinks she is losing her hair. She is not on any medication, chemo etc. Has anyone else experienced this in the wake of resection?
I'm sorry I can't help you there, my dad's hair has thinned a bit, I put it down to the stress of all of this not the op specifically. I hope your mum continues to recover well, just felt i should reply as i know how disheartening it is when you don't get a response.
good luck, jules
My husband had a resection a year ago and oddly he also lost hair on his head but the hair on his arms and chest grew so fast we had to trim it! I guess everyone is different and as I say now, fat or thin, hair or no hair, I am thankful I still have him. Hope your mum continues to do well. Lainy
Thanks for your words friends. I will drag Mum down to the internet shop and show her what has been written, in the hope that she may log in here from time to time, even WRITE herself!! I just feel so sad for anyone affected by this cancer, but obviously it is personal being my Mum. She leads such a quiet and basic life, in another country. She speaks Greek well, but of course, when it comes down to technical medical stuff, she is a bit scuppered. This site could be so helpful to her I think, but she is not computer savvy, and finds it all rather hard work! But I will try to encourage her to check this place out!
