Portland is simply not at the same level as Gonzaga.
That fact was accepted by the Pilots on Thursday night when they lost 71-49 to the 8th-ranked Bulldogs.
"We were not in a position to beat the 8th-best team in the country, but there's no shame in that," Pilots coach Eric Reveno said.
Seven-foot center Kelly Olynyk had 21 points and eight rebounds in Gonzaga's eighth straight win. The West Coast Conference's leading scorer got into early foul trouble against the Pilots after two straight games with more than 30 points, scoring just one basket in the first half.
Kevin Pangos added 14 points, including four 3-pointers for Gonzaga (17-1, 4-0 WCC), as the Bulldogs extended the best start in school history.
"When you look at the balance they demonstrated tonight, they're as good as any team you would have in the conversation," Reveno said, saying that Portland's opponent was the best Gonzaga team he's seen.
Kevin Bailey had 16 points for the Pilots (8-11, 1-3) who trailed by as many as 21 points and dropped their 19th straight game in the series with the Zags.
The Bulldogs have not lost since falling 85-74 to then-No. 13 Illinois on Dec. 8 in Spokane. They were coming off an 83-78 victory over St. Mary's on Saturday, which pulled them up a spot in the AP Top 25, the team's highest ranking since Dec. 22, 2008, when they were No. 7.
The Pilots were coming off a 68-64 victory over Loyola Marymount last Saturday in Los Angeles. The win snapped a three-game losing streak.
Three consecutive 3-pointers and a layup from Pangos put Gonzaga up 14-2 early at the sold-out Chiles Center.
But Portland closed in, coming within 16-10 after David Ahern's jumper. Ahern, a freshman walk-on from Northern California, was playing in just his second game for the Pilots. Portland starting point guard Davis Carr is out for the season after tearing a ligament in his right knee in a loss to Pepperdine on Jan. 5.
Guy Landry Edi made a 3-pointer that put the Bulldogs up 23-10 midway through the first half.
But the Pilots closed in again, pulling to 31-26 after Ryan Nicholas' 3-pointer and Bailey's running jumper. It was as close as Portland could come, and the Zags led 36-26 at halftime.
Pangos led all first-half scorers with 11 points, including his three 3-pointers, and Gonzaga was 8 of 15 from beyond the arc.
Gonzaga began to pull away in the second half, going ahead 51-36 after Elias Harris had consecutive dunks. The Pilots simply couldn't match the taller and faster Zags.
"Keeping up your energy covering their inside guys and shooter isn't easy. I think at times our energy went down and they stayed straight," Bailey said.
Olynyk's dunk gave Gonzaga a 58-44 lead with just more than 9 minutes left. Edi dunked for the final margin.
Portland's last victory over Gonzaga came in 2003, when the Pilots won 72-68 in Spokane.

A popular 68-year-old veterinarian may have pushed his homebuilt plane beyond its limits just before it crashed in Calaveras County a year ago, federal investigators have concluded.
With clinical phrasing that masks some life-and-death details, the National Transportation Safety Board cited "the pilot's excessive flight control inputs" as contributing to the airplane falling apart in flight. Those "inputs," investigators said, "led to flight that exceeded the structural limits of the airplane and resulted in structural failure of both wings."
The safety board's "probable cause" conclusion quietly released last month ends the formal inquiry into the Nov. 23, 2012, crash that killed Dr. Russell Hackler. It was one of 22 fatal airplane crashes in California last year, most of which remain under investigation.
"It doesn't change the outcome," Hackler's widow, Kathie Hackler, said in a telephone interview Tuesday, "but it's a way of finding closure, rather than waiting forever."
A resident of Danville, Kathie Hackler said she last heard from safety board officials during the summer when the investigation was still underway. A reporter's phone call Tuesday was the first she learned that the investigation into her husband's death had been officially concluded, though she said the conclusions themselves did not surprise her.
"I mean, you always hope it wasn't pilot's error," Kathie Hackler said, "but my understanding is that in a very high percentage of these accidents, they find the pilot did something (wrong.) That is the usual outcome."
The investigation into the crash near Calaveras County-Maury Rasmussen Field Airport moved more quickly than many.
On May 18, 2011, for instance, a single-engine experimental airplane bound for Tracy crashed near Bear River Reservoir in mountainous Amador County. The crash killed the pilot, well-known San Joaquin Valley winemaker and entrepreneur Robert "Budge" Brown. Thirty months later, the search to determine the probable cause of the crash continues.
Similarly, the investigation into a May 22, 2009, crash that killed veteran Navy aviator Lt. Cmdr. Luther H. Hook III and his three daughters, who lived in Clovis, Calif., was not concluded until March 2012.
Investigations into fatal aircraft crashes typically take between 18 months and two years, safety board officials say. Factual reports come first for agency officials, who every year investigate an average of about 2,000 aviation accidents and about 500 other kinds of accidents annually.
Last June, the safety board's investigator-in-charge, Thomas Little, released a five-page factual report summarizing what was known about the accident that killed Hackler. Little is based in the safety board's Western Pacific Regional Office in Federal Way, Wash.
The report details Hackler's aviation background, such as the 5,138 hours of flight time he had accumulated. It illuminates the plane, a two-seat, single-engine craft, capable of landing on both land and water, called a Sater Coot A-Amphibian. It describes, minutely, the debris that was scattered across the accident site about 1.25 miles south of the airport's runway.
"It's good to know as much as you possibly can," Kathie Hackler said.
The initial report also includes statements from several unidentified witnesses, one of whom reported seeing Hackler's plane traveling fast and in a steep bank immediately prior to it going into a spin.
"The witness added that after the first revolution of the spin he observed the leading edge come off of a wing," the report stated. "After the second revolution and approaching a third, it appeared as if the other wing had separated. The airplane then went out of view."
In the final report, investigators noted "there were no obvious signs of rot or pre-existing conditions in the wood spars examined, and none of the wing attachment bolts failed." That led to the conclusion that "the pilot's control inputs stressed the airplane's wings beyond their design capabilities."
Kathie Hackler offered her own coda: "As for what caused Russ to have to use the controls so vigorously, we will never know. Those what-if's will always remain."

The threatening emails from David Petraeus' ex-mistress to a Florida socialite reportedly promised to make the apparent rival "go away" and boasted of her powerful, well-connected friends.
The New York Daily News reports that the messages sent by Paula Broadwell to Jill Kelley were far more sinister than previously reported and were from someone "clearly unhinged," according to a close friend.
"This wasn't just a catfight," the friend told the newspaper. "Any normal person who got emails like that would have immediately called the police."
Kelley read her the emails when she called, according to the unidentified friend, as she sought advice in the days before the scandal became a staggering public spectacle and led to Petraeus' resignation as CIA director.
The friend, who declined to be identified, said Kelley saw the emails as death threats, specifically one in which Broadwell vowed to "make you go away."
A source close to Broadwell who asked not to be identified disputed that characterization.
"It runs counter to the statements by friends, family members and former colleagues -- the people who know her best -- who have spoken out in the past week and painted a detailed portrait of a dedicated mother, friend wife and patriot," the source told Fox News.
A spokesman for Kelley said she don't know what "friend" is quoted by the New York Daily News and countered that the emails weren't as menacing as the story suggests.
"She felt worried enough to have a conversation about it ... but it's not as menacing as what was quoted. But she was upset," Kelley spokeswoman Judy Smith said.

A variety of commodities can be produced from syngas, the primary product of gasification, providing for many potential markets. This product flexibility as well as the versatility and efficiency of gasification, make it an attractive technology now and for the future.
Currently, the main markets for gasification, as judged by analysis of current and planned projects, are:
World gasification capacity and planned growth – by end use of syngas1
Source: Worldwide Gasification Database
Worldwide, as of 2014, 60% of all gasification-produced syngas is used in the production of chemicals (this includes fertilizers, grouped with chemicals in the World Gasification Database groupings) and 24% for the production of liquid transportation fuels. Power and gaseous fuels are each produced from 8% of the total global syngas production. Chemicals and fertilizer production, already the leader in gasification market share mainly because of large operating capacity in China, is expected to roughly double from currently operating capacity based on units in construction and planned capacity growth (much of the construction and growth in China as well).
Great Plains Synfuels Plant
The next largest application of gasification, as of 2014, is production of liquid fuels. The U.S. market for liquid fuel use from both petroleum-based sources and produced from fuels like coal and biomass is expected to modestly increase from 19.2 million barrels per day in 2010, to 19.9 million BPD in 2035. Government regulations (EISA2007) mandate that, by 2022, 36 billion gallons of biofuels must be produced to replace petroleum fuels. A portion (about 2-3%) of these 36 billion gallons must be biomass-to-liquid (BTL) diesel transportation fuel. The Energy Information Administration's (EIA's) Annual Energy Outlook 2012, predicts BTL diesel will replace 2.5 billion gallons of petroleum fuel by 2022, well over the required amount.
Power and gaseous fuels are third and fourth, respectively, in installed capacity due to their relative recent emergence in the history of gasification. Chemicals and liquid fuels have been produced through gasification for more than five decades, whereas technology development for efficient power generation (integrated gasification combined cycle [IGCC]) and demand for gaseous fuels like hydrogen have advanced more recently. Nevertheless, gaseous fuels/hydrogen are expected to see a several-fold increase over currently operating capacity based on construction and planned new units. based on 2014 information. IGCC power capacity is also expected to more than double.
In addition to these established "product" markets, potential markets exist for gasification within industrial applications. Industrial plants that require electricity, steam, and also generate a feedstock suitable for a gasifier—refineries or paper pulping plants, for example—could benefit from an onsite gasification plant.

text: Christian Report post Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) I liked this film a great deal, but see that Christianity Today gave it half of a star. I wrote: Inspiring and exciting without ever becoming exhausting, Act of Valor is the type of film that makes viewers want to volunteer for not just one, but all branches of the military. Call it propaganda. Call it a recruitment video. But call it what you will. Above all, this is a stirring, patriotic depiction of men who carry out dangerous missions on behalf of their country. I supposed that "wihout ever becoming exhausting" is subjective. I tend to mentally check out of movies with chaotic action scenes, whether they're fight sequences or car chases. This movie held my attention throughout, albeit with slightly diminishing returns along the way. (The first rescue effort is stellar, IMHO.) I found out after seeing the film that it began as a recruitment video. Indeed, that's what I was thinking as I watched the film: "This is the best military recruitment movie I've ever seen." I suppose that's a bad thing, but to the movie's credit, I didn't care. I found much of the movie thrilling, and I often wondered how they pulled off what they did. (And who are these filmmakers, anyway?) Dialogue is lame, but no lamer than any big budget action extravangza. Plus, these code words and catch phrases of the military are what they are. I guess I didn't mind, considering that scripts for movies with 5 times the budget this one has are even worse. As I told my friend who attended the screening with me, this is the best movie of its kind I've ever seen. What "kind" is that, you ask? I'm not sure. But I thought of Black Hawk Down, a movie I expected to like but which was way too much for this ol' boy. I had to close my eyes and stop looking at the jagged imagery after about 15 minutes. Then there are the Red Dawns and Navy SEALs, liked by many of my friends when we were younger, but which, bottom line, are just stupid. Act of Valor isn't stupid. OK, maybe its plot stretches credulity, but the movie is mostly about watching the SEALs in action, and I thought it was compelling stuff.

text: A California native, I've lived on both coasts and lots of places in between. As a result, I'm pretty liberal in my viewpoints on life, have gathered a wide array of friends from vastly different backgrounds, and learned just how similar all of us really are as mankind. That's why you'll discover my stories tend to celebrate everyday people, their accomplishments and the amazing things they do to enrich their communities. When I'm not reporting or editing, I enjoy traveling, listening to great music, cooking up yummy eats and devouring smart books including suspense fiction and classics like my all-time favorite, Harper Lee's 'To Kill a Mockingbird.' I love teaching, mentoring and working with young people. But my real passion is philanthropy, particularly when it comes to charities that help at-risk kids, the arts, literacy and nature conservation. I currently live with my wife in New England.

I was listening to recitations of Walt Whitman's poetry on YouTube the other evening, so naturally, I began musing about family history. Naturally? Well, I'll explain that connection in a bit. (What doesn't get my obsessed mind thinking about family history?).
I thought about the television commercial where a man relates how he discovered that his family lived near the Wright brothers. Today, most of our celebrity sightings are on film, television, and computers. We attend rock concerts in big stadiums where we watch the stars singing on big screens because they are small figures on a faraway stage--same for most sporting events and political rallies. But back in the day, shows and concerts and speeches were often more limited gatherings. Celebrities were more accessible to the common man, at least better seen with one's own eyes.
What celebrities or political figures might your ancestors have met? Did a grandfather fight for Irish independence with Michael Collins? Perhaps a great grandmother met Synge or Yeats at an Abbey Theatre performance? Watched a Buffalo Bill Wild West Show? Heard Lincoln speak?
As if you don't have enough research to do, here is another idea to keep you busy: research the entertainment venues of your ancestors' times and locations. Read the old newspapers to see what shows were in town and what celebrities or political figures might be visiting nearby. Even if you never find evidence of your ancestor's attending a rally or a show, you will have a clearer vision of their lives. You will get an idea of their dinner conversation. You can imagine what the ladies gossiped about over the fence while hanging laundry.

There's a debate raging in the world where marketing meets creative – is data and insight the enemy of creativity or its salvation? This 'Oxford Union' style debate seeks to hear out both sides of the argument to look at how creativity and the 'big idea' can thrive in an age of real time data rather than be swamped or held back by it.
In short, Punch is for creatives learning to live in the new digital world.

After this dream faded away I spent several years travelling around Asia and Australia, aquiring some of my greatest lessons in resourcefulness and making the most of the path and people in front of me. My desire to learn more about electronics resurfaced so I returned to the UK to study for a degree followed quickly by a PhD in physics at Cambridge's Cavendish Laboratory where I moved electrons around one by one, it was electronics at its most simple level! After spending four years in a Cambridge startup I began my new adventure with a company of my own. It has recently become obvious that the work of my team and myself is the realization of my childhood fascinations, we put electronics into paper, and paper is all around us.

Well, I knew I wanted a small school, and I wanted to get out of Minnesota. I love my home, but I definitely wanted something new. When it came down to it, I realized that when I visited Bowdoin - I know a lot of people say this - I had that feeling. The people at Bowdoin had that extra something. It was just that feeling I got when I stepped on campus that I knew I could really spend four years here and love it. And I have. It's been great. Why did you decide on your major? I came to Bowdoin having no clue. Math was in there, English, psychology - I had no idea. I have so many interests and was excited about all my options, but overwhelmed at the same time. But I started taking both biology and psychology courses, just kind of happened to my freshman year, and loved them both. I never really knew neuroscience existed as a major until my sophomore year when I was thinking, "Okay, what should I do?" I had taken a lot of biology and psychology courses, which were prerequisites for a lot of the neuroscience courses, the higher level ones. And I started looking at the upper level courses and they looked so interesting, so I just thought, "Hey, why not?" The inner workings of the brain and the anatomy just interest me a lot, so it's been great. Economics? I took a microeconomics course my freshman fall with [Professor] Herrera and just really enjoyed it. I think that first class got me very interested in it, and I stuck with it. I was debating about double-majoring, but that would probably [have taken] a little too much time and I wanted to get my full liberal arts degree, so I stuck with the minor. What has been your best class at Bowdoin? There are two that stick out in my mind. One class I just took last semester [was] called Lab in Learning and Memory with Seth Ramus, whom I love. [He's] one of my favorite professors here. We were working with rats - we all called [it] the Rat Lab Course - doing behavioral testing on them and looking at the role of the hippocampus in learning and memory. It was unlike any other class I had taken before here because I really felt like we were doing real science, and we were working on a project that, had it gotten probably more significant results, could have been published. Actually talking to a professor and having the class be involved in the decisions of the experiment felt really great. You feel like you're doing something substantial. [The other class] that I really loved, which was quite different than all my lab courses, was with Professor Olds, who was great. It was the first course I took with him. It was called Art, Science, and the Mind, and it was an art history course. It really was great because it took this neuroscience and brain stuff that I had kind of learned at deeper levels, but integrated that with art history. I could look at these paintings and these works of art and know why they're beautiful to people and know what in our brain triggers that [feeling]. It was really cool to integrate my major with an art history course and know that all these things I'm learning here can work together. What extracurriculars do you participate in? Do you have an on-campus job? I play tennis, which has been an amazing experience. I wasn't sure I was going to play when I came here but I decided I wanted to try out for the team and it worked out and I couldn't be happier that I decided [to play]. It's both spring and fall, and obviously a large commitment time-wise, but it's been just amazing because the relationships I've formed on the team and the girls I've met have been awesome. The van rides, the court time, the everything - that made my experience here just that much greater. I've been a member of Residential Life for three years. Ever since my first semester here, seeing my Proctor and a lot of the other [Resident Assistants] and Proctors, I knew it was something I wanted to do. I was a Proctor in Coleman [Hall] my sophomore year and then Head Proctor my junior year. It was just so great being a Proctor, to really help a freshman make that transition from high school to college, because I know it's an important one. To be a part of that and then see them grow throughout the year has just been awesome. And then I'm an RA this year. I wanted to stick with Res Life definitely. But that's been great, too - programming and having campus-wide events and things like that. I am a member of Warriors, which is the eating disorders awareness group on campus. That's also been a really wonderful experience because I have friends and family members who have had issues with that. It's great to try to bring my experiences and my desires to make this campus more aware [of] the seriousness of the issue, because it is, and obviously most people at Bowdoin know it's a big issue, too. So that's been great, bringing lectures and things like that. I've been doing Special Friends a little bit, too. There are a few people who do it regularly every Saturday or every other Saturday. Basically you work with adult handicapped people in the Brunswick community. You go do fun activities like make Valentine's Day cards on Valentine's Day or go bowling for the afternoon or see a movie and eat popcorn, and basically just kind of hang out and have them have a great Saturday with you. It's really great to have that kind of interaction with community members. What is your best Bowdoin memory? Oh, there are just so many. One memory which really sticks out in my mind was when my older sister visited. She had never seen the campus before, but had heard me rave about Bowdoin. We were walking from Thorne Dining Hall to the Union, and we must have passed - as every Bowdoin student knows, you pass fifteen or twenty of your friends along the way just halfway across campus - and we talked to a lot of my friends along the way. I'd stop and chat and introduce them to my older sister. So when we walked in the Union and I got to my mailbox, [my sister] said, "That was amazing! I cannot believe you just knew every student that walked by." It made me realize what an amazing place this is because you cannot walk across campus without running by five or ten of your friends. I don't think most of us here really realize or appreciate it because we are faced with that every day, and it's awesome. I think that just made me a little more aware of how lucky we are and what a close community it is. What are your plans after graduation? I would like to integrate my neuroscience and economics somehow, so in trying to do that, I've been thinking about either pharmaceutical sales positions or something along those lines, like a clinical science liaison, or a clinical consultant, things like that. So I'm in the process right now, [and] would like to stay out east in either Boston or New York, or the other coast - San Francisco would be wonderful. But [I'm] definitely trying to keep both my neuroscience and economics somewhere in the mix. Is there anything else about Bowdoin or your experiences here that you'd like a prospective student to know? Being a senior now, in my last semester, I would probably say just cherish it from day one. I think it's really easy, with the amount of opportunities that exist here, to just get caught up in it and want to take part in anything and everything that you love here because there are so many opportunities. I think to really just not let yourself get too caught up in it. Take a step back every once in a while and just realize what a great place this is and that the time will fly by - because it does. Enjoy relationships that you've formed and those activities you get involved in and those professors that you meet. All of a sudden, it will be your senior spring and you'll be "where did the time go?" That's my advice for incoming students.

'Kotalik's lifelong dream was to play for his country in the Olympics and it could have easily been said that he was heart broken that he wasn't selected in December despite putting up numbers far greater than those players selected for the Czech team. However, Kotalik's dream will come true because of an injury. New Jersey Devils forward Patrik Elias has been ruled out for the duration of the Olympic Games after suffering bruised ribs from a crosscheck during the team's opening game against Germany.'

Roy Hodgson admits West Brom defender Steven Reid is his biggest injury concern ahead of Sunday's Barclays Premier League opener with Manchester United at The Hawthorns.
Reid, who impressed at right-back last season, is battling to recover from a torn calf suffered 11 days ago.
Hodgson said: "It will be two weeks this weekend since Reid picked up his injury. Whether that is long enough to repair the damage I couldn't say.
"The sports science people are doing their very best and they're optimistic but he'd be my biggest concern."
Hodgson is confident striker Peter Odemwingie (ankle) and midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu (abdominal strain) will be fit to face the Red Devils.
He said: "I'm very optimistic both will be okay for Sunday and I'll just have to wait and see what another couple of days rest does for them."
Winger Jerome Thomas is also back in training after the dead leg which forced him out of Albion's final pre-season friendly with Parma.
Midfielder Paul Scharner should also be fit after being withdrawn at half-time against Parma as a precautionary measure because of an Achilles twinge.

Aug 26, 2011
You might think that Freaky Friday is a cynical column. One that goes out of its way to find the very worst things in the Android Market, just so it can pour scorn on them from a very great height, laughing at their ineptitudes and rubbing their faces into the mucky sputum of their ambition. You'd be right as well.
This week's app proves that, beyond a shadow of a doubt, some people should not be allowed to be left to their own devices. It's a recipe for trouble, and that trouble, in this case, has manifested itself as poetry. Poetry for Stephanie.
By the looks of things, some poor soul has decided to express their love for Stephanie via the medium of a publicly accessible marketplace. That same poor soul also decided that the best way to express that love, is an acrostic. There are no words that can describe how bizarre this app is.
You're treated to a sickly sweet picture of hearts and love and other nonsense, along the top of which, emblazoned in glittery pink letters, is the name Stephanie. Click on each individual letter and you'll be treated to an amazing poem about how Stephanie is great and moves planets with her loveliness.
After the poem has been fully displayed, and you've let its imagery of dancing moons and stars and other crap wash over you, you tap again, and get a picture of a rose. Awwww. Hearts melt, true love exists, vomit, vomit, vomit.
Part of me thinks that as I type this, For You is installing malware onto my phone, which is one of the reasons I've not linked to it below. The rest of me hopes with all of my heart that this is real, that someone thought the best way to make Stephanie fall in love with him was to make her an app.
If you're Stephanie, and you're reading this, please, get in touch. I have to know if this worked.
UPDATE: Before I got a chance to get screenshots to For You, it was taken off the Market. This makes me think it was real. O. M. G.

Think of all that's involved in a real estate transaction. There are the tangibles, such as money, complex paperwork, and binding legal obligations. Even more important are the intangibles: Your reputation. Your good name in the community. Your history of trustworthy relationships.
Building strong, trusting relationships can take a career, a lifetime—or, in the case of Long Realty, 90 years and counting. Our company was founded on the principle of fair dealing and treating our clients right, and we've been following that path since 1926.
Our mission statement says it all. Our mission is "to create an exceptional real estate services experience that builds long-lasting relationships." Many of our clients are actually second- or third-generation clients. Such loyalty doesn't happen by accident. It happens because when people are treated right, they remember.
Our agents know that building and maintaining trustworthy relationships in their community is the most important part of their business, and you don't do it by putting up signs. You do it by being an active part of the community, getting to know people and letting them get to know you, and by following through on every commitment you make.
Companies don't build relationships; people do. Our relationships grow from our company's core values: integrity, excellence, compassion, leadership, and teamwork. These aren't marketing words—they're part of the DNA of Long Realty.
A strong relationship is a history of trust offered and trust honored, of being there when you're needed, of doing everything you can to provide an exceptional transaction. It's a client who is happy to recommend you to a friend.

FRITZ!WLAN Repeater 310 Service - Knowledge Base
AVM Content
User interface of FRITZ!WLAN Repeater cannot be opened
Since you configured your FRITZ!WLAN Repeater, you cannot open its user interface. The user interface is not displayed when you enter fritz.repeater in the address bar of your web browser (for example Chrome, Firefox).
Simply proceed as described below. After each measure, check whether the issue persists.
1 Opening the user interface with the full address
Some web browsers start a web search (for example Google Chrome using Google) if you enter an unknown or incomplete address. To avoid this, you must enter the complete address:
- Call up http://fritz.repeater in a web browser.
2 Allowing wireless devices to communicate
If you are using the repeater with a FRITZ!Box, you can only open the user interface if the FRITZ!Box is configured to allow wireless devices to communicate. The FRITZ!Box is configured to allow access to the repeater's user interface in the factory settings:
- Click "Wireless" ("WLAN") in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Security" or "Radio Network" in the "Wireless" ("WLAN") menu.
- Enable the option "The active wireless devices displayed below may communicate with each other".
- Click "Apply" to save the settings.
3 Opening the user interface with the FRITZ!Box
If you are using the repeater with a FRITZ!Box, use the FRITZ!Box's Home Network Overview to open the user interface:
- Click "Home Network" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
Important:If the menu "Home Network" is not available, then a very old version of FRITZ!OS (version 5.50 or earlier) is installed on the FRITZ!Box. In this case, it is not possible to use the FRITZ!Box to call up the user interface.
- Click "Home Network Overview" or "Network" in the "Home Network" menu.
- Click the link or the name of the repeater.
If the repeater is not displayed in the Home Network Overview of the FRITZ!Box, then the repeater is not correctly connected with the FRITZ!Box and you must repeat the setup for the repeater.
4 Opening the user interface with the the IP address
If you are using the repeater with a different router, then the router must support DHCP name resolution so that you can enter fritz.repeater to open the user interface. If the router does not support DHCP name resolution, use the IP address to open the user interface:
- Determine the repeater's IP address. You can find information on the procedure in the router's manual, or consult its manufacturer directly.
- Enter the repeater's IP address (for example http://192.168.178.25) in the address bar of your web browser.
If you still cannot open the user interface of the repeater after following the steps given in this guide, then the repeater is not correctly connected with the router (for example FRITZ!Box) and you must repeat the setup for the repeater.

Skillet Baked Ziti Recipe
Feel free to up the Parmesan amount to a full cup if you want a creamier dish or even stir in some heavy cream or ricotta before putting it in the oven. Adding some sausage to the recipe could also be another delicious twist to try if you're feeling adventurous.
Read more: Skillet Suppers: Skillet Baked Ziti
- Yield:Serves 3 to 4
- Active time: 25 minutes
- Total time:45 minutes
- Rated:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 medium cloves garlic, minced or grated with a microplane (about 1 tablepoon)
- 1 teaspoon dried red chili flakes
- 1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 ½ cup homemade or store-bought low sodium chicken broth
- 3 cups uncooked penne or ziti
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- ½ cup picked fresh basil leaves, cut into strips
Adjust oven rack to center position and treheat the oven to 400°F.
Heat the oil in an oven-safe 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and chili flakes and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and a pinch salt and reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, breaking up the tomatoes with a potato masher as they soften until the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes. Add broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the pasta and cover. Raise the heat to medium, making sure there are active and vigorous bubbles. cook, stirring occasionally to make sure the pasta isn't sticking and cook until the pasta is just firm, following package directions for timing (12 to 15 minutes).
Remove lid, season to taste with salt and pepper, stir in the parmesan, and spread the mozzarella on top (a few stray chunks of mozzarella never hurt). Transfer to oven and bake until cheese has melted and is starting to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Top with basil and serve.

The 2014 Endurance World Championship has finally come to an end, as this past weekend played host to the Le Man 24-Hour motorcycle race. Winning the 2014 title was the French team of Yamaha Racing GMT 94 Michelin, which also took second place at Le Mans (SERT finding its way to the top podium step).
Yamaha Racing GMT 94 Michelin's team of David Checa, Kenny Foray, and Mathieu Gines have had a prominent position all season long in the EWC. Finishing second at Bol d'Or, ninth at Suzuka (second among the regular EWC entries), second at Oschersleben, and now second at Le Mans, Yamaha France's position came about because of sheer consistency.
With Honda, Suzuki, and Kawasaki's top teams having troubles at individual races (along with Yamaha's YART squad), Yamaha Racing GMT 94 Michelin showed that true endurance racing is done over the long term. The full 2014 Endurance World Championship results are after the jump.

Fast-forward to next fall's harvest. You there? Now, step into your combine cab. Start driving. You come to a patch of weeds. Looks like bindweed. You want to make a note of it along with its field location so you'll know which areas to treat come next spring.
So you lean over and utter "bindweed" into a voice-activated microphone that turns on a videomapping system called VMS 200. The device, released just before press time by Red Hen Systems, plugs into your camcorder to instantly record the extent of the problem and its field coordinates on videotape. A global positioning system (GPS) and videomapping software are part of the package.
"The idea is to use the videotape as the vehicle for the GPS and to do the recording in place of a notebook computer," says Neil Havermale, co-owner of Red HenSystems. "What you end up with is a 'clipette' of information you can download to mapping software to show, for instance, that infestation was 30 stems per meter at this particular spot."
If you want to view a different spot, you can touch that area on the map, and the camera will automatically forward or reverse till you get to that clip of the field, Havermale says. Voice notes are transferred through the speakers on your computer. Contact Red Hen Systems, Dept. FIN, 800 Stockton Ave., Suite 2, Ft. Collins, CO 80524, 800/237-4182 or circle 130.
Sound like sci-fi? Just wait. It's just one of the next-generation tools being developed to harness spatial information on your fields, to help you make better management decisions. Here's just a sampling of the neat stuff you'll see now and in the future.
The big connection. The power of these tools will intensify when they start to feed in and out of a common system so that information can be electronically exchanged with other systems, predicts Dr. John Ahlrichs, manager of retail information systems for Cenex/Land O'Lakes.
"For example, remote sensing could exchange information with a decision aid," Ahlrichs says. "Videomapping could exchange information with other mapping layers. Vehicle tracking information could exchange information with farm accounting software to fine-tune dollar maps to another level. All of these technologies can stand on their own, but their overriding benefit will be how they can be exchanged with each other."
As a corollary to the new tools, agribusinesses are beginning to exchange site-specific information. Cenex/Land O'Lakes recently partnered with Ag-Chem, a supplier of variable-rate fertilizer and chemical applicators, to share customer account information such as product pricing, amount of inputs, date of application, and application maps to automate recordkeeping and customer billing.
"Whereas historically these folks may have worked somewhat independently, today precision farming is forcing the whole industry to work much closer together for the benefit of the grower," says Craig Elliott, marketing manager for Rockwell Agricultural Services. "When you do that, you start looking at massive amounts of data that need to be exchanged efficiently and quickly."
The problem is there isn't an infrastructure in place for everyone to do that. At least not yet. The PCMCIA card continues to be the standard vehicle for transferring data. Once data are transferred, the format may not be compatible with the software receiving the transmission. But companies are making strides.
Ag-Chem, for instance, has automated the process of cleaning and registering geographic data it receives from its dealers who do variable rate application. And it has developed a worldwide data warehouse with a GIS backbone to store the information. Dealers and their farmer-customers can access this information on demand through Ag-Chem's Web site at www.agchem.com.
The company is building software functions into the warehouse so that farmers and dealers can query the GIS database and get management recommendations for their individual fields. The first of these Web-based tools, the NPK Calculator, was released last month. It allows users to automatically calculate crop nutrient needs on their fields and implement a variable rate nutrient program-based on crop removals and nutrient credits - without having to soil sample. Contact Ag-Chem Equipment Co., Dept. FIN, 5720 Smetana Dr., Suite 100, Minnetonka, MN 55343, 612/ 933-9006 or circle 129.
Agris Corporation, a manufacturer of farm accounting software, is looking at building a direct modem or Internet connection to allow farmers to download field-specific account information stored by input dealers.
The concept is analogous to what is happening in the banking industry, according to Mike Allen, vice president of grower systems at Agris. "If you have your own personal books you are tracking at home, you can simply dial up the bank and download your transaction information so you don't have to reenter the numbers in your system." Contact Agris Corp., Dept. FIN, 300 Grimes Bridge Rd., Roswell, GA 30075, 800/ 795-7995 or circle 132.
Building the same type of communication umbrella for agriculture will take money, Allen says. "There may not be enough precision farmers yet for the industry to justify the expense." But there's speculation that the infrastructure will come.
Some industry experts say universal real-time information exchange is less than five years away. And it could lead to yet another revolution in the way you farm.
Command and control. The concept revolves around a subject referred to as "command and control" in military vernacular, according to Craig Elliott, marketing manager for Rockwell Agricultural Services.
"It's tying together countless points of information coming in from AWACS radar planes that help direct land forces, offshore artillery and fighter pilots," Elliott explains. "All that information needs to go back to a central commander who can then deploy troops and equipment throughout a digitized battlefield."
This concept could be directly extrapolated to farm fields. Elliott says it would involve bringing together all the data from implement dealers, crop consultants, seed suppliers, fertilizer suppliers and others involved in helping farmers maximize their profits. That information would be processed through a command and control center that would then direct and coordinate farming activities over a given geographic area. Once in place, such a system would essentially automate all the processes involved in growing a crop to make farming more efficient. Elliott adds: "My guess is it's going to be an independent business someplace." Contact Rockwell Agricultural Systems 120-130, Dept. FIN, 350 Collins Rd. NE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52498-0120, 800/321-2223 or circle 258.

Ali Akbar Dareini – Associated Press Dec 4, 2012
Iran's state TV said Tuesday that the country's Revolutionary Guard has captured a U.S. drone after it entered Iranian airspace over the Persian Gulf.
The report quoted the Guard's navy chief, Gen. Ali Fadavi, as saying that the Iranian forces caught the "intruding" drone, which had apparently taken off from a U.S. aircraft carrier.
Fadavi said the unmanned Scan Eagle aircraft was now in Iran's possession.
"The U.S. drone, which was conducting a reconnaissance flight and gathering data over the Persian Gulf in the past few days, was captured by the Guard's navy air defense unit as soon as it entered Iranian airspace," Fadavi said. "Such drones usually take off from large warships."
He didn't provide any further details nor said when the incident happened. There was no immediate comment from the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet, based in Bahrain.
If true, the seizure of the drone would be the third reported incident involving Iran and U.S. drones in the past two years.
Last month, Iran claimed that a U.S. drone had violated its airspace. Pentagon said the unmanned aircraft came under fire — at least twice but was not hit — and that the Predator was over international waters.
The Nov. 1 shooting in the Gulf was unprecedented, and further escalated tensions between the United States and Iran, which is under international sanctions over its suspect nuclear program. Tehran denies it's pursuing a nuclear weapon and insists its program is for peaceful purposes only.
In 2011, Iran claimed it brought down a CIA spy drone after it entered Iranian airspace from its eastern borders with Afghanistan and Pakistan. The RQ-170 Sentinel drone, which is equipped with stealth technology, was captured almost intact. Tehran later said it recovered data from the top-secret drone.
In the case of the Sentinel, after initially saying only that a drone had been lost near the Afghan-Iran border, American officials eventually confirmed the plane was monitoring Iran's military and nuclear facilities. Washington asked for it back but Iran refused, and instead released photos of Iranian officials studying the aircraft.
The U.S and its allies believe Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapon. Iran denies the charge, saying its nuclear activities are for peaceful purposes only, such as power generation and cancer treatment.
