Command & Conquer Trivia

1001 Video GamesCommand & Conquer appears in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die by General Editor Tony Mott.
ControversyThe PC-CD Rom version of this game had an advertisement that read "Previous High Scores" and under these words were several photographs of political and military figures. Among those pictured were Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini, Saddam Hussein, etc... The controversy stems from the inclusion of then French President Jacques Chirac being included among these men. The ad can be viewed here.
Cover screenshotsObviously, the in-game screenshots on the back cover are faked or taken from a beta version that actually had better graphics than the release version.
German versionWestwood voluntarily changed a few things in the German version, because they feared the game could be indexed.
- The cover: the soldier on the cover was displayed bigger, so that the weapon on the left couldn't be seen anymore
- The manual: the photos of the soldier units were censored with "Geheim" [secret], so that nobody could see that they had human faces
- The game: the soldiers were called 'androids' or 'bots', and they spilled black blood when they died (oil)
- Some videos were censored, e.g. when Seth gets a head-shot and a few video sequences are missing altogether.
KaneKane is played by Joseph D. Kucan, the voice & video director for most of Westwood's games (including the Command & Conquer series).
Mega ScoreIt was the first game to be featured on the cover of Mega Score, the longest running Portuguese gaming magazine, on the second issue (November 1995). The honours of the first belong to the Sega Saturn.
ReferencesOpen up the instruction manual to the page right after the table of contents, the one with the fire that has the quote from Kane. The last line says "(Global Net Interpol, file #GEN4:16)". That "#GEN4:16" actually refers to Genesis 4:16 from the Bible. That explains where they got the idea for Kane and the Brotherhood of Nod.
SalesWestwood received an entry in the Guinness Book of Records, because they sold the game more than 10 million times worldwide.
SVGA versionLater Westwood also released an SVGA Windows 95 version, called Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn Gold. The game content itself was unaffected, but when playing against someone with the SVGA version you had a great advantage: you could see almost 4 times as much as the DOS version on one screen.

Are these a dumpling or not? I'm not sure. I enjoyed them during a dim sum lunch at Elite, a Chinese restaurant in Monterey Park, CA. They were so good -- delicately nutty and shrimpy. Alas, I've been too busy to replicate them at home until recently, that is.
A relatively new twist on fried shrimp balls, this morsel is easy to prepare. For the recipe, check this link on Vietworldkitchen.com.

New Book Highlights Latino HIV/AIDS Advocates Who Have Transformed the Epidemic
October 6, 2011
As we approach National Latino AIDS Awareness Day on Oct. 15, a new book written by Jesus Ramirez-Valles, a University of Illinois at Chicago professor of health sciences, illuminates how gay, bisexual and transgender Latino advocates have fostered HIV/AIDS activism over the past three decades.
Newswise reported that Compañeros: Latino Activists in the Face of AIDS (University of Illinois Press, 2011) gives voice to those whose stories of fighting racism, homophobia and stigma are not often told:
"'Compañeros' tells us what it's like to be an activist, a volunteer, and get involved in community affairs," says Ramirez-Valles. "The book is about Latino gay men and transgender individuals, but it speaks to the broader idea of getting involved in the community -- not only to change major social forces that shape our lives, but to change ourselves, to connect with others, and in the process become better individuals and better citizens."
Listen to an interview with Ramirez-Valles here.
Read the table of contents from Compañeros here.

SPORE in Skin Cancer Research
The Yale SPORE in Skin Cancer is the result of an $11.5 million grant from the National Cancer Institute to improve risk assessment, measures for diagnosis and prognosis, and therapies for patients with two types of skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma and melanoma.
Basal and squamous cell carcimomas are the most common skin cancers diagnosed in the United States and melanoma is the most devastating type of skin cancer with little effective therapy available once it has spread beyond the primary site.
The Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPORE) in Skin Cancer grant supports multidisciplinary research that extends from the laboratory bench to cancer patients in need. Ruth Halaban, senior research scientist in the Department of Dermatology and Yale Cancer Center member, is the principal investigator of the multi-faceted project.
The Yale SPORE studies assess environmental and genetic factors in early onset of basal cell carcinoma. The results will help establish national guidelines on modifying behavior and on prevention as well as identification of new drug targets. Another expected outcome of the studies is development of an efficient system to assess a patient's likelihood of responding to therapy. Patients will be selected for specific therapy based on characteristics of their cancer cells.
An expected translational application is the development of blood or tissue tests for patients undergoing treatment that will monitor the impact of the drug so clinicians can better decide whether or not to continue with treatment. The studies will also introduce novel immunological therapies that break tumor immune-tolerance and boost patient immune response to eradicate cancer cells.
"The series of studies in the SPORE collectively represent a striking illustration of how ideas and results generated by solid basic science translate into preclinical and clinical investigation," said Halaban. "The team of researchers spans basic science and clinical departments around the University. The outcomes will be a reflection of the wide range of expertise involved in this project and we hope this will lead to improved diagnosis and treatment for patients."
The SPORE is composed of four major translational projects and three core facilities. It also includes developmental research projects and a career development program directed by Robert Tigelaar, MD, Professor of Dermatology and Immunobiology.
The SPORE includes investigators in Dermatology, Medical Oncology, Pathology, Genetics, Immunobiology, Laboratory Medicine, Epidemiology and Public Health and Surgery. Their basic science and clinical expertise ranges from non-melanoma skin cancers, melanoma, and molecular biology, genome-wide analysis, immunology, oncology, cancer prevention, population biology and population studies. Other team members are experts in bioinformatics, biostatistics and artificial intelligence.

(AP) Baldwin looks to end Dems' Wis. losing streak
By SCOTT BAUER
Associated Press
FRIENDSHIP, Wis.
Rep. Tammy Baldwin stood in the Friendship Cafe, giving voters a populist pitch for why she should be elected to keep Wisconsin's open Senate seat in Democratic hands, where it's been for the last 55 years.
When she began to field questions, a 70-year-old retiree offered the first comment, and hit on one of the most difficult issues confronting Baldwin as she tries to break the Democrats' recent losing streak in the battleground state.
For Baldwin, the first openly gay candidate elected to Congress, questions about her sexuality evoke her reputation as an unabashed liberal and a product of left-leaning Madison, and reinforce concerns about her viability in the more conservative parts of the state she'll need to win the Senate seat in November.
With Baldwin running unopposed in the Democratic primary, attention has been focused on the GOP field, where four Republicans are vying for their party's nod to succeed retiring Sen. Herb Kohl, a Democrat. Leading the pack is former Gov. Tommy Thompson, who has positioned himself as a moderate Republican with the best prospects for winning the general election in a state President Barack Obama won by 14 percentage points in 2008.
But despite her lack of a primary challenge, Baldwin isn't running toward the middle in an attempt to sway independent voters. Instead, she casts her campaign as a fight for the working class while also speaking out about saving Medicare, reforming Wall Street and embracing Obama's health care reform.
Being both a Madison liberal and gay "pretty much can be the kiss of death," acknowledged Jane Witt, chairwoman of the Democratic Party in Racine County, a bellwether. Still, Witt called Baldwin a "damn good candidate" who can win, although she acknowledged the race will be an uphill battle for Democrats.
Democrats are counting on Baldwin to snap a series of losses in Wisconsin that began in 2010, when Republicans took control of both houses of the Legislature, Scott Walker was elected governor and tea party favorite Ron Johnson knocked off then-Sen. Russ Feingold. The defeats mounted when the conservative-backed candidate for state Supreme Court prevailed last year and Walker fought back a recall effort with a decisive 7-point victory in June.
The election could sway the balance of power in a closely divided Senate come 2013. The GOP needs a net gain of four seats to take over, or three if Republican Mitt Romney is elected president, giving his vice president the tie-breaking vote.
Baldwin, who was first elected to the House in 1998 after serving six years in the state Assembly, is popular in liberal Madison, where she has been re-elected with more than 60 percent of the vote every two years since 2002.
But she's far less known in the rest of the state, where the party desperately needs to build support among swing voters. And Baldwin's Democratic agenda will be tough to sell to a divided electorate that has repeatedly rejected many liberal ideals in the aftermath of the Great Recession.
In an interview at the Who Cares? bar and grill, she said the key is positioning herself as the candidate who cares more about the concerns of voters, not Washington insiders and powerful special interests.
Democratic strategists and union leaders claim she can win, citing statewide support for previous Madison liberals, including Feingold and Jim Doyle, the former two-term governor and three-term Wisconsin attorney general.
Anyone who won't vote for her because she's gay wouldn't support her even if she were straight, said Sachin Chheda, a Democratic strategist in Milwaukee.
Baldwin is working to introduce herself to voters in places like Adams County, a largely rural area where Obama easily prevailed on his way to winning Wisconsin. But in 2010, Adams County shifted to the right, along with the rest of the state, and elected Johnson to the Senate over Feingold. And last month Walker carried the county by 10 percentage points as he claimed victory in the recall election.
Racine County followed a similar path, backing Obama and then supporting Walker in both his initial bid for governor and in the recall.
With the Republican candidates bickering amongst themselves, Baldwin spent the spring and early summer quietly building her campaign, raising money, meeting with activists and introducing herself to voters. She embraced hot-button topics like health care reform while emphasizing her personal story.
Baldwin, 50, was born to a teenage mother and raised by her grandparents. When she was 9, she was struck with an illness that put her in the hospital for three months. Her grandparents didn't have insurance for her, and Baldwin said they made huge sacrifices to pay her medical bills.
Baldwin uses her own story to help explain her support for Obama's health care overhaul, which requires most Americans to have insurance. She said it makes her angry that her Republican opponents want to "rip it up."
Health care policy also hits close to home for Thompson, who served as Health and Human Services secretary under President George W. Bush. The 70-year-old served 14 years as governor but hasn't been on the ballot in Wisconsin since 1998.
Squaring off with Thompson in the Aug. 14 primary are three more conservative candidates who are trying to tap into the well of tea party support.
Eric Hovde, a millionaire hedge fund manager, has had the highest profile on television. Mark Neumann, a former congressman, has the backing of prominent politicians and conservatives groups. And Jeff Fitzgerald, the speaker of the state Assembly, helped push Walker's agenda through the Legislature.
The most recent poll on the race, conducted in mid-June by the Marquette University Law School, showed Baldwin ahead of or about equal to each of the Republicans except Thompson. He led Baldwin 49 percent to 41 percent _ well outside the poll's 4.1 percentage point margin of error.
Conservative groups aren't waiting for the general election to begin attacking Baldwin.
Americans for Prosperity Wisconsin, an anti-tax group, last month launched $400,000 worth of ads against her. That came after the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with the state business group Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce, ran a Baldwin attack ad in February.
Wisconsin Republican Party spokesman Nathan Conrad expressed confidence that Walker's recall victory would give momentum to the GOP in the Senate race.
Baldwin, "in one campaign stop after another, opines on how the middle class is struggling and `taking it on the chin,'" Conrad said. "Yet she fails to mention that her rubber-stamp approval of any and all policies put forth by the Obama administration have driven middle-class prosperity underground."
But other Republicans, including Thompson and Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, have warned for months not to underestimate Baldwin.
She laughed when asked why the GOP may be dismissing her chances of winning.

A young Independence woman found dead Nov. 22 died from a gunshot wound, police say.
The new details have emerged in the case of the 19-year-old woman.
Her body was found inside an abandoned vehicle near 35th Street and Jackson Drive, behind Centerpoint Medical Center in Independence.
Kansas City Police spokesman Darrin Snapp reports that investigators determined she died from a gunshot wound.
"The information we have gathered so far is leaning towards suicide," says Snapp. "But the case is still under investigation."
Prior to being found in Independence, Kansas City police report the vehicle the victim was in around the time of her death originally arrived at North Kansas City Hospital.
"It's believed the individuals she was with realized she was dead, got scared and fled the hospital," Snapp said.
The identities of the people who were with her are unknown.

The DVD and games rental store Blockbuster has been sold to restructuring specialists Gordon Brothers Europe after filing for a form of U.K. bankruptcy earlier this year.
The company had gone into administration - a form of bankruptcy in Britain - in January.
Blockbuster U.K. at the time had 528 stores. Hundreds of shops were shut in the weeks after its financial collapse.
Administrators for the company from accounting firm Deloitte said Saturday that Gordon Brothers Europe had purchased Blockbuster for an undisclosed sum, saving 2,000 jobs and 264 U.K. stores.
Blockbuster in Britain is a subsidiary of U.S.-based Blockbuster LLC, which itself was reorganized under American bankruptcy laws and then acquired in 2011 by Dish Network Corp. of Colorado.

Maeghan Chapman dove at a loose ball, her elbow immediately started to swell, but she waved off her coach's substitution. Freshman forward Natalie Wadolowski took an elbow to her face, came away with a bloody lip, but continued to battle for rebounds in the paint.
On Friday, Dec. 21, the Lady Knight basketball team pressed and doubled Windsor players as they desperately tried to force turnovers late in the game. The team's effort drew praise from their coach, but it helped Coach Mike Forgione, drive home a point that he's been trying to make with his up-and-coming Knights.
To be successful in Southington's tough schedule, it's going to take much more than extraordinary effort. Forgione pointed to his team's 16.4 percent shooting (9-for-55) in the 41-34 loss. The effort has to be coupled with better decisions.
"For us to be successful on the offensive end we have to play together as one unit, and we didn't do that tonight." said the coach. "We just played playground basketball forcing up the first shot we saw. We can't do that. We want to play a fast break, up tempo style but if points off the break aren't there we have to run our offensive sets."
Forgione pointed to some of the powerhouse teams on the schedule with all-state contenders that draw college scouts. To contend with that talent, Forgione said that his team needs to execute perfectly like Ivy League teams do in the NCAA. Southington has to be smarter with good looks, open spacing, perfect passes, and screens.
"We have to have everyone involved and doing their job for us to score. We need team basketball in the purest form," he said. "We played right into Windsor's hands by just taking the first shot instead of being patient and taking the best shot."
Forgione isn't circling the wagons. He's not trying to re-invent the wheel, and there's no desperation in his critique. At 3-2, the Lady Knights are still in good shape to reach their season's expectations, but Forgione wants to be even better. With their efforts in the early season, he believes that they can do it.
"Even with the shooting performance the kids never quit. We even had a chance to tie the game in the fourth quarter if we converted some lay-ups," he said. "As a high school coach, the main thing you look at is effort. Are the kids working as hard as they can and never quitting? This group never stops fighting,"
Sometimes, it pays off. On Tuesday, the girls opened the week with a 43-34 win over Newington on their home floor that showcased the team at its best. Stephanie O'Keefe paced a balanced attack with 13 points and 2-for-4 shooting from beyond the arc. Chapman added 11 points with eight rebounds. Danielle Charamut scored nine points with 10 rebounds and two blocks.
Southington trailed 6-2 but went on a 15-0 rally. Chapman led the defense with four of their seven steals. The Knights passed well in transition, won the rebounding battle, and shot 36.4 percent as a team as the team cruised to a 43-34 win.
"Newington has some really athletic kids, but they were missing a guard that got injured last week," said Forgione. "The kids fought all game, and the seniors and everybody else did a good job finishing. We have to do the little things like taking care of the basketball, make good passes, and have good shot selection. That was big for us. We tried to get better shot selection. We weren't forcing shots, and I give the kids a lot of credit. This isn't an easy game, and they're working hard to get better."
Even when Newington cut the lead to two points in the second half, Southington answered with another run to put the game out of reach.
"Kaitlin Paterson made a couple of good shots. Natalie Wadolowski made a couple of big layups, and Sarah Mongillo gave us some good minutes off the bench," said the coach. "We have to play together as a team to be successful. I was really proud of the way the kids fought back and didn't lose their composure when Newington made their run."
Now, Forgione is looking for consistency. He's looking for effort and intelligent decisions. He's judging their reads off the ball and the execution of a challenging scheme.
"We have two big home games on Friday and Saturday night," he said. "Hopefully we'll get a lot of support [from our fans] and get back on track with two wins."

- CU-Boulder chancellor: Eliminate standalone journalism degree after 2012
The University of Colorado's journalism school will close June 30, making it the first -- but perhaps not the last -- college to be shut down in the university's history.
The CU regents voted 5-4 on Thursday to shut down the School of Journalism and Mass Communication on the Boulder campus, despite some board members arguing that problems in the school could be fixed without closing it.
Campus leaders, as well as President Bruce Benson, supported the closure, proposing that the university instead implement a "Journalism Plus" program that calls for CU to drop journalism as a standalone bachelor's degree. Students will be able to pursue a double major in journalism and another subject, or they will be able to major in a subject with a certificate or minor in journalism.
Tillie Bishop, R-Grand Junction: Yes
Steve Bosley, R-Broomfield: Yes
Kyle Hybl, R-Colorado Springs: Yes
Michael Carrigan, D-Denver: Yes
Stephen Ludwig, D-Lone Tree: Yes
Monisha Merchant, D-Lakewood: No
Joe Neguse, D-Boulder: No
Sue Sharkey, R-Windsor: No
Jim Geddes, R-Sedalia: No
Michael Carrigan, D-Denver, who voted for the closure, said he and his colleagues on the Board of Regents value journalism and that the "Journalism Plus" plan will ensure that it remains a valued academic discipline at CU.
"I believe that this is a new, innovative way to offer journalism studies at the University of Colorado," Carrigan said. "Ultimately, I think we can't be afraid of change."
The closure comes amid state budget cuts, a rapidly evolving media landscape and turmoil in the journalism school that has left one graduate program facing the possible loss of its accreditation.
Brittany Lloyd, from Canada, transferred to CU for its journalism program last year. Just last week, she was accepted into the school, and she's relieved that she made it in before the closure. She hopes to pursue a career in media and entertainment law.
She calls the closure a "huge mistake."
"With all the social media available now, journalism is a growing -- not shrinking -- industry," said Lloyd, who is majoring in media studies.
The resolution approved by the board said that despite rapid changes in technology that affect the profession, journalism is a cornerstone to a democratic society.
Regent Stephen Ludwig, D-Lone Tree, said that in the future, other schools will likely merge or close on CU's campuses.
"This won't be the last school we'll close or change," Ludwig said. "Higher education needs a rethink. It's getting too expensive, and we're leaving too many people outside of our doors. This is a beginning."
Regent: CU has 'failed the school'
Regent Joe Neguse, D-Boulder, said he voted against closing the school because the future of journalism education at CU is too uncertain. He said it's not known how long journalism employees will be temporarily housed in the graduate school, and the regents haven't been asked to approve the creation of a proposed new information school.
He said changes could be implemented in the school's current structure.
"I simply cannot support a road map that doesn't tell me, or the students at CU, where we are going in the future," said Neguse, who, after the vote, released an open letter in conjunction with regents Monisha Merchant and Sue Sharkey explaining their vote.
Sharkey, R-Windsor, whose daughter, a broadcast major, will graduate from the journalism school next month, said there's a high demand for the program, and current students are satisfied with their education.
"I believe the university has failed the school of journalism," she said.
Sharkey said journalism isn't the only discipline that needs to adapt to technological changes, and reforms could have been made in the already-existing school.
But John Winsor, who is on the journalism school advisory board -- made up of media professionals -- said the media landscape has changed and the school has not done a good job adapting.
"This is a terrific opportunity for the university to close something and rebuild something greater," Winsor told the regents.
A 'brighter future' for journalism?
Gary Burandt, an advertising executive who is on the advisory board, said that in job interviews, he hears from CU students -- and those at other journalism schools across the country -- that they're ill-prepared.
"They are bright, hardworking and well-schooled in the basic principles of theory and advertising," he said. "However, in interviews, they say their coursework did not prepare them for the dynamic media marketplace they are entering."
Michael Suleiman, an advertising major who will be graduating from CU next month, said he thinks the school can do a better job teaching digital skills -- such as search engine optimization and website building. He has both a job and an internship with Boulder companies that are centered on social-media networking, yet just one of his courses taught him applicable skills, he said.
"To look on the bright side, I hope the restructuring benefits students when it comes to developing websites and more online-based advertisements," he said.
Linda Shoemaker, who is on the advisory board, said the group thinks journalism has a "brighter future on the campus."
"You'll hear from us again if journalism education doesn't improve," she said.
CU instructor Sandra Fish, a former employee at the Camera, said that prior to the discontinuance process the school had been working to improve its undergraduate curriculum for fall 2011, with classes better blending digital, writing and newsgathering skills.
But she's concerned that the closure will stall those improvements.
The discontinuance process, she said, has paid little attention to students' best interests.
Disappointment, hope in wake of closure
Assistant journalism professor Deserai Crow said she feared for her job at the beginning of the discontinuance process because she doesn't have tenure. But throughout the year, she said, she's been assured by school leaders that they value the faculty -- and they aren't trying to eliminate faculty jobs through the closure.
Crow -- who earned her bachelor's degree from CU's journalism school, where she studied broadcast news -- said she hopes something good comes from the discontinuance.
"I have a great affection for the school," she said.
The board of Colorado's chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists expressed disappointment in the board's decision to shut the school. The board has urged CU officials to strengthen the program -- not end it.
Cara DeGette, the chapter's president, said CU needs to be committed to teaching the basics of reporting, photography and storytelling.
"The need has never been greater for a vibrant and vigilant press," she said in a statement. "As journalism programs evolve with new delivery methods and online and other technologies, it's critical that they continue to emphasize reporting skills and ethical standards. The principles of fairness and objectivity, and the journalist's role as a watchdog of government and industry, remain integral to a well-informed electorate and a thriving democracy."
In a separate process, an outside accrediting report described factions among journalism faculty members and weak leadership as being so severe that campus leaders had to step in and begin the discontinuance process. The school is in the middle phase of its accreditation process, and the master's newsgathering program may lose its accreditation.

The name Aleksandra Milojevic might not mean a lot, but plenty of people will recognise her face after a video of the assistant referee went viral in Serbia.
In truth, the assistant referee does little in the 99-second video clip during Novi Pazar and Mapredak's 1-1 draw, but that didn't stop the cameraman from keeping a rather close lens on the lady in question.
Footage shows the lineswoman pulling up her socks, then sprinting down the pitch and awarding a throw-in. She's then up-and-down the line as play goes backwards and forwards, showing the levels of fitness required to be an official at a high level in football.
And, whilst we're under no illusions as to why this video has over one million views on YouTube, it's an interesting watch for more than just her looks.

As England prepare for their match tomorrow against Ireland in the 6 Nations and, with any luck take on another win, I have spoken to Ron Lafferty, the IT Manager at Johnny Wilkinson's old school; Lord Wandsworth College. Ron has just led the college through the deployment of Microsoft Windows 7 a move that has scored positive results and given them the 'win'' they were looking from a software upgrade.
Back in March 2010, the decision was made to deploy Windows 7 and Office 2010, a decision that as you will read, really paid off. With their school policy of not replacing any desktops that were less than four years old and laptops less than three, they were not sure if the machines they had would make the move easily and had to prepare for the possibility of having laptops, computers and printers that wouldn't work, and reverting back to their old system.
As a test, all staff were asked to bring in one of every machine that they had, from RM and Viglen desktops, to Acer Laptops, to see if the deployment of Windows 7 would be a clear run or whether they would they come up against a defence that would make the deployment a struggle. With over 10 different types of hardware to find drivers for, this did seem a bit of a challenge especially with some manufactures advising that this would prove too difficult to complete and saying the deployment wouldn't work.
Not to be defeated, Ron and his IT team went ahead for the 'try', and after running tests found that actually despite warnings from some, the test machines not only deployed to Windows 7 but did so in a straight forward manner. This doesn't go to say that the deployment didn't go with the odd little hiccup along the way on the software front, but most legacy software worked well and as Ron describes, the staff were ''very pleased with the test result.''
The decision to go for a 'try' moved Ron and his team forward for the full 'conversion' and deploy Windows 7 to all 405 computers in the college.
"There was no repeat of issues we had expected from past experiences when performing software upgrades. One previous rollout had wiped whole systems and we could not afford a repeat of that situation. The level of system support calls between October 2010 and January 2011 went down to next to nothing. With the old network, support calls had played a big part in the IT team's life and now our customers, the teachers and students, are much happier with what we provide. The process to move over was a smooth as silk!".
Ron found the rollout so "smooth" that they've recommended deploying Windows 7 to two other independent schools that are now planning their rollouts with the assistance of Microsoft partner Rivanet.
So, not only have they taken on the tactics of deploying 10 test machines first before grappling with the overhaul of other machines, but they tackled opponents whose advise that this wouldn't work and came out on top. For me, that shows a clear win.

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — A federal judge is allowing a central Pennsylvania seventh-grader to be a member of the all-boys wrestling team at her middle school.
U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann says in a ruling Monday that the Line Mountain School District failed to justify its reasons for preventing girls from wrestling with boys.
The school district says there are psychological, physical and moral risks for girls wrestling boys, but Brann says the district did not present any expert testimony or examples to support those claims.
Brian and Angie Beattie of Herndon filed a lawsuit last year, saying their daughter Audriana was being denied the opportunity to wrestle because of her gender.
The girl's attorneys, Terry Fromson and Abbe Fletman, issued a statement praising the judge's decision.

ASUS RT-N56U "Black Diamond" Wireless Router Review
ASUS RT-N56U Firmware and Software
I have to admit, I was originally unimpressed by the ASUS RT-N56U firmware, as I had gone to ASUS' RT-N56U website and grabbed the latest firmware (188.8.131.52l) available when I received the unit from their download page. While it wasn't bad, it just didn't compare with what I had seen on the RT-N66U router.
Yet a relatively short time later I noticed that they had yet another firmware update, version 22.214.171.124.260, which completely overhauls the interface and bring in the great UI we found on the ASUS RT-N66U. I happily downloaded and installed it to find that it was just as good as we had seen on the higher end NT-66U.
The default landing page is the Network Map, which gives you a quick status overview of all the main functions including your WAN /Internet ports, Wi-Fi Security/Networks, Connected Clients and USB devices that are attached. A click on any of them gives you more details about them on the right hand side of the screen.
Next up is the Traffic Manager where you can set QoS (Quality of Service) settings to prioritize your traffic streams as well the ability to dive into actual traffic monitoring. The traffic monitoring in particular is great and can break things out by types of traffic as well as by time frame. You can show Real Time, the last 24 hours, or even daily stats for the last 30 days. This will certainly be a welcome tool for anyone stuck with bandwidth caps.
Parental controls lets you lock machines (by MAC address) down and enable/disable their Internet access during specific times of the day, or by session times. Say for example you only want your child to access the Internet from 6 PM to 9 PM and never let them stay on longer than 2 hours at a time, just input their MAC address, set the time settings and you're good to go. Also works great for bandwidth hogging roommates with a torrent addiction.
Some of my favorite features are all the "USB Application" options that are available when attaching USB devices to the two USB 2.0 ports on the back of the router. The "AiDisk" application allows you to attach USB based storage and share it through the internet, somewhat like a PogoPlug device. How awesome is that? The "Servers Center" application lets you share files on USB storage to a local network/samba share or through FTP. A "Network Printer Server" application let's you attach a USB printer to the router and share it to anyone on your local network. The "3G/4G" application will give you the capability to connect a 3G/4G USB modem to the router and use that as a backup internet connection should your main internet connection on the WAN port go down. The "Download Master" application will let you use the router to download/host torrents and finally the "Media Server" gives you the capability to stream content from an attached USB device to DLNA compatible devices.
Moving into the "Advanced Settings" you have your basic wireless configuration, WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) settings and the capability to put the router in Wireless bridge mode. Additionally you can filter devices for access to your wireless networks based MAC.
The next batch of advanced settings let you configure settings for your local network (LAN) such as IP addresses, DHCP Pool/Leases, Routing, and others. Interestingly enough there's an "IPTV" option to relay IPTV through the router.
WAN settings allow you to configure settings for your internet connection (such as using a Static IP, PPPoE, etc.), port triggering/forwarding, setting up a DMZ host, configuring Dynamic DNS host names and NAT passthrough for VPN access.
I was surprised to find a tab for IPv6, and while it's only basic settings, it's great to see it's supported.
The ASUS RT-N56U can actually function as a VPN server, allowing you to connect to your home network securely from remote locations. Considering a month ago I spent a few hours fighting to make OpenVPN work, this is a great addition.
As with most routers nowadays the RT-N56U comes with a fairly robust firewall built in. DDoS protection, URL Filtering, Keyword Filtering and Network Services (Port) filtering are all available.
The Administration page allows you to configure various high level settings for the router including router name and passwords as well as allowing you to configure the router as either a true Wireless Router or function as an Access Point (AP).
Last but not least, you have access to various system logs showing you data on DHCP leases, wireless activity, as well as port forwarding and routing.
As with the ASUS WRT-N66U, I love this ASUS firmware. There are a lot of powerful functions and features built in, yet it's easy to navigate. The RT-N56U does not appear to support flashing to DD-WRT, or any of the Tomato variants but there does appear to be some basic OpenWRT support, even though it looks like you lose some functionality on the router. The lack of full 3rd party firmware is definitely a con, but honestly, I don't see why you would want to flash the router with something else and not use the excellent firmware offered by ASUS.
Seems pretty good, especially with the VPN server. I wish more companies would do that. I have only experienced unstable implementations of routers functioning as a VPN server using pptp and openvpn was more trouble than it was worth because of all of the command line needed and also there being no decent tutorial that did not require you to read like 20 pages and still not get it working.
I like having a VPN that is easy to use so I can quickly login from my laptop, or from a Linux live USB if on a public computer.
While openVPN is more secure than the older PPTP, no one has made a GUI front end where you can do a few clicks and then if gives you all of the various config texts to turn the router setup part into a copy and pasture job, and automate the client setup process as much as possible.
Also liked the router performance improvements, it seems that they optimized the firmware a bit better, hopefully those optimization make their way to the N66U
I've been using one of these for almost 2 years now (ever since my old D-Link DI-624 died) and have been extremely pleased with the performance of the router.
I've not had a single dropped WiFi connection (and I generally have at least an iPad and 2 iPhones connected any time I'm home, and occasionally a laptop or 2) and the LAN speeds have always been solid.
In most cases, I take an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach to my routers. But seeing that they've done a complete UI overhaul with the newest firmware, I just have to go and upgrade it now.
That was really the only downside I found with the router. I couldn't stand having to work through that old UI.
Great review and I also would highly recommend this router. I don't think you can do any better for under ~$100.
I had a D-link gamerlounge (DGL-4500), it had good specs to go along with the marketing ;) , that I replaced with this when it had started to act up. I think it was running a Terraria server that pushed the D-Link over the edge.
This has held up much better than my D-link did, and was really impressed how well this performed without a myriad of antennas sticking out (my d-link had 3).
I have this router - I must upgrade the firmware as pcper did - and it just works. Plug it in and off you go. It is fast, reliable has good wireless range what more could you ask for
Only one problem with the design is that the Cat cables stick out so you will need to invest in a set of right angle connectors to preserve the clean look - if that is important to you.
Highly recommended
Have you tried the Padavan firmware? Google for it.
There is a RT-N65U at the egg for the same price. Looks like an updated version with USB 3.0 and more range being the big difference.
Have lost my installation disc. Can anyone tell me have to get it on line ?
I have tried the new firmware and despit resetting/ rebooting etc, find it keeps dropping wireless connections. Have tried lots of different firmware for this over the last 16 months or so that alive owned it, including the Panamanian firmware, the only version to date that I've found reliable is 184.108.40.206f . All the rest are hopeless
Sorry about the typos. My ipad autocorrects everything incorrectly. Meant Padavan firmware
Don't need installation disc for asus router - just access via web browser at address 192.168.1.1. Can update firmware from here.

Currently using the firmware that shipped with my router - V22.214.171.124j and working solidly so far. This is a replacement router as the first one I got kept spontaneously rebooting and intermittently unable to connect to internet via wifi. I had upgraded the first one with the latest f/w xxxx.318...don't know if the upgraded firmware caused the problems, but I just returned for a new one through amazon.

Had this router for about 2 weeks now. Updated to latest firmware and experienced the dropped connections I have read about. Just now downgrading to .7f. Haven't put it back online yet (using old router currently), but I do not see the Parental Controls. Is this only in the latest firmware?
One thing, does it support more than one printer at the same time?
I would like to connect 2 or 3 printers (with a usb hub)?
I've been using it 2 weeks. It arrived with the 184.108.40.206j I updated the firmware to 22.214.171.124.342 while I was setting it up. I'm running the media server, two wireless g 2.47 subnets through it as well as the n on 5. Plus using the VPN, usb for a hard drive share and a printer. No dropped wireless connections and the VPN has been solid.
Would you please share how to setup your vpn? I tried to setup VPN with my iphone 5, but unfortunately I always got the error " A connection could not be established to the ppp server" no matter I am at home or office.
Does any one have experience of using IPv6 in this router? I am planning to have one for IPv4 & IPv6 dual stack.
hey i just updated my firmware to the most recent 18.104.22.168.342. Love this router, but with the old firmware u were able to block mac address, i cant seem to figure out how to do it on the latest firmware... i have neighbours whos kid is living with us... ftw... n they mysteriously obtained our network key, its easier just to block them rather than have to go thru the whole proccess on setting everything back up with the new network key... someone please show me the light, much appreciated
Would you please share the result of your matrix21 testing? From the above test, i cannot get the maximum session of the router.I tested the router with matrix21 and encountered the winsock error. I just wonder any method can help to avoid the winsock error. Thanks.

YORKTOWN, N.Y. The northbound AMVETS Bridge on the Taconic State Parkway will reopen late Tuesday night and be ready for Wednesday mornings commute following a six-month construction project, the State Department of Transportation announced.
This is truly a momentous occasion, NYSDOT Commissioner Joan McDonald said during a Tuesday morning press conference. We are opening the AMVETS Bridge over the Croton Reservoir a month ahead of schedule.
The $26 million project to rehabilitate the Taconic over the New Croton Reservoir began on March 26 and shut down northbound Taconic lanes from Pines Bridge Road in New Castle to Underhill Avenue in Yorktown. The bridge was scheduled to reopen on Nov. 9.
The construction company that worked on the bridge, Tutor Perini Corporation, will receive $33,000 for each day it finished early, or more than $900,000. It could have been penalized $33,000 for each day after the deadline construction lasted.
We needed the assistance of an unrepresented group of people today and that was the commuters on the Taconic State Parkway, who behaved absolutely spectacularly during this, said James Laing, president of Tutor Perini, who said the project was fairly incident free among the commuters.
During the project, traffic was re-routed to the southbound Taconic into four lanes with a concrete barrier between two lanes in each direction. Over the bridge, the speed limit was lowered to 35 miles per hour.
We utilized a number of traffic incident management techniques, including a guaranteed five-minute response by a trooper to any incident in the construction zone, said New York State Police Major Michael A. Kopy.
Construction work included in the project was new steel hangers, deck support, concrete deck, railings, installation of a new guide rail and resurfacing pavement on the roadway on each end of the bridge.
The work we have completed here on the Taconic is important and timely, and will extend the life of this bridge by 50 years, McDonald said.

The death-knell has sounded for Virginia's controversial abusive driver fines, so for all the readers that thought these were a bad idea, your wish is coming true. Virginia's Governor, Tim Kaine (D), said in his annual "State of the Commonwealth" address that "the abusive-driver fee idea has flunked with voters, and we should acknowledge it an move on." Many Virginia Republicans praised Kaine's position on the fees, which pretty much means they are headed for the trash bin.
The abusive-driver fines in question were civil penalties drawn up to fine drivers going 20 mph over the speed limit $1,050, plus $61 in court costs, in ADDITION to existing fines that typically total $200. Also, a first-time drunken driver faced a $2,250 civil penalty - plus fines and court costs that typically run about $500 or more - under the abusive-fee regime, while driving without a license came with a mandatory $900 civil penalty in addition to the ordinary $100 for a fine and court costs.
Many reasons are being trotted out for the failure of these fines, probably the biggest being that they only applied to in-state residents. That stuck in everyone's craw, because if you didn't pay them in three installments over 26 months, you'd lose your license: not so for someone from Ohio or any of the other 49 states in the Union.
And apparently so many people HADN'T paid them that Virginia planned to revoke 300,000 licenses over the next two years, according to a story in the Virginia Business Magazine. Non-payment of fines also meant that the state didn't get much of the $65 million in revenues it expected: monies lawmakers were hoping to use for road repairs.
Never mind, of course, that you would never encounter these fines if you did three simple things: DON'T DRIVE DRUNK, DON'T SPEED, DON'T DRIVE WITHOUT YOUR LICENSE. Gee, wow: guess we can't manage to do anything that simple in my state. And the numbers prove it, too: over 1,000 people died in traffic accidents in Virginia last year: a number we haven't seen in my state since 1990.
Several readers wrote in to tell me that fines like this don't improve highway safety: indeed, they told me, punitive highway safety measures don't work in the U.S. overall. Just look at the numbers - 43,300 people died on our highways in 2006, according to the latest figures from the U.S. Department of Transportation, with another 2.56 million sustaining injuries from highway crashes.
The DOT estimates that highway crashes cost this country of ours $230.6 billion a year, roughly $820 annually for every man, woman, and child in the U.S. Those numbers fluctuate up and down a few hundred, but by and large, that's been the death toll for many years
And we seem to so blithely accept this!! I mean, drunk drivers killed 17,941 people in 2006 ALONE! And most drunk drivers are repeat offenders, folks that get caught again and again behind the wheel rocked out of their minds ... yet manage to keep their license and the keys to their vehicles. Sure, Public Citizen is after the trucking industry, trying to find a way to reduce the 5,018 people killed in car-truck collisions ... too bad no one wants to take the same approach to drunk drivers, who kill more than three times as many innocent people.
So, OK, abusive-driver fines are on the way out and we probably won't see them again. But here we are left facing a yearly pile of bodies on our highways with no one - politicians and John Q. Public as well - willing to seriously address it. We're driving more and more miles, at faster and faster speeds, and we don't seem to care that a lot of people are getting killed in the process. I thought the abusive-drive fine regime would work. Obviously, it didn't. You tell me what the answer is. I for one think killing 43,000 people a year due to chronic bad driving is a horrible statistic we shouldn't be willing to accept.

Have you adjusted the block size up? maybe try dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nst0 bs=8M count=1000 this is about 8 GB, so it hopefully shouldn't take too long. At 21 MB/s, this is about 50 seconds per gigabyte, so if this takes 400 seconds, you may have a problem.

Sometimes all the pieces come together just right. We had everything planted, but the ground was still too wet to cut any hay. There really wasn't anything on my agenda that was pressing, so I decided to sleep in late that Saturday morning. It would be nice to take it easy for one day.
Fate has a wicked sense of humor. Shortly after 7:00, my phone rang. I got out of bed to make my way over to the phone on my desk. My landline phone rarely rings in the morning. Heck, my landline hardly ever rings any time of day! When it does, there's usually a very good reason. This was one of those days, only different. On about the third step toward my desk, I came down on my foot at a bad angle. It was almost perfectly 90 degrees from square. That maneuver also came with an incredible "SNAP!!!"
My eyes were wide open at that point. I fully expected to look down and see the bottom part of my foot dangling free, or maybe a bone sticking out at the very least. Strangely enough, there appeared to be no visible damage. It didn't even hurt. I hadn't stepped on anything or tripped over anything. It was pure, raw talent. Had there been an audience, I'm sure the first question would have been, "So, first day with the new feet?"
I grabbed the phone on the fourth ring and was greeted by a dial tone. Well, well, well! A major injury in exchange for a hang-up. Seems like a fair trade for attempting to sleep in late.
I heard a vehicle rev its engine somewhere outside my window. Then I heard my front door. It was quickly followed by footsteps. Guy No. 1 showed up and informed me that the caller had given up on me and called him instead. My cows were standing on the front lawn at the moment!
Knowing my herd, and knowing that they take the whole herd concept quite seriously, I knew it wouldn't be good. Standing on the front lawn is never a good place for them . . . or me. Standing on the front lawn after a foot of rain in a few days makes it a bit worse. Even the skinniest cow leaves some serious tracks under those circumstances.
Fueled by adrenaline, low blood sugar and a healthy does of rage from free time lost, I got dressed in short order and made my way out the door. "The herd" wasn't really a herd. It was mainly a group of pregnant cows that were nearing their due date. Guess what? Females very near the time when the miracle of birth takes place tend not to be tiny. If you could sort through your entire herd of cows, you would find that the ones whose calves are a month old tend to be a bit smaller, weight-wise, than those a month away from calving. Take a wild guess and see if you can figure out which ones would leave deeper tracks on your front lawn in that case.
I hopped on my four-wheeler and got the waddling escapees back with the rest of the herd. A quick ride around the perimeter of the pasture revealed that some birds had sat on an insulated wire that connected the power supply to my electric fence. Sitting on it would be one thing. Pecking at it and disconnecting the wire is an entirely different matter. No current flow, no convincing argument to stay in the pasture. Some cows seem to be able to smell when a fence isn't working. At least, I don't think they've been studying wiring diagrams in their spare time when I'm not watching. Fate doesn't play that dirty.
I got the fence problem corrected and a large flow of current returned to the perimeter fence. Then I went back to the house to check my blood sugar and eat breakfast. Potential driving liability prevents me from saying how low the number was on my blood glucose meter when I got home. I didn't break my all-time low of 18, but it was closer to 18 than it was to 100.
As I stuffed my face with Zingers — The Breakfast of Hypoglycemic Diabetic Champions — I began to realize that my foot was really starting to hurt. This wasn't aspirin pain, or Advil pain. This was trip-to-the-ER-on-a-Saturday-to-get-the-good-stuff kind of pain. What would my mother say if I showed up at the hospital straight from the task of rounding up cattle and doing some fence work? She would not be impressed with the kid she raised, that's what she'd think. So I took a shower and got dressed up. Knowing my luck, if I went straight to the hospital from the scene of the incident, the word would somehow get to her and she'd be there in the waiting room already to let me know how bad I looked.
Once inside the ER, I explained my situation to the guy at the desk. He asked if I needed a wheelchair, which I declined. Then he had me take a seat to wait for my nurse. Fate saw another chance to take a jab at me. The nurse on duty was my neighbor. Why keep my situation under the radar?
She came in and went over my case. As soon as I told her what happened, and why the phone call I missed was so important, I knew what was coming next. "Your cows got out? Well, we always try to schedule that during weddings!"
It's true. When their oldest son got married a year or two ago, their cattle in the feedlot decided the best time to make a break for freedom was during the wedding dance. The father of the groom had just begun to dance with his new daughter-in-law when the sheriff showed up to inform him that his cattle were out, and, oh by the way, one was dead in the ditch next to a freshly crumpled minivan of another neighbor. I got to spend a couple hours that night helping them get the herd back home. Feedlot steers don't drive like beef cows. Okay, maybe they do, but it was just the group of wranglers wearing tuxedos that threw them off their game!
Finally the doctor arrived and said that the X-rays didn't show any obvious breaks, but it could be a stress fracture. That would take three or four days to show up. If it still hurt the following Tuesday or Wednesday, I could come back for more X-rays to see if I'd done anything serious. He suggested I take it easy and put my foot up in the meantime. My neighbor the nurse looked at him and kind of laughed, knowing full well I wasn't going to do that. Although, that was pretty much my plan for the day about six hours before that! Now I had a medical opinion to back up my desire to be a slacker. Expensive validation is still validation, in my book.
The pain didn't get much better over the course of the next week. When I went back for another Saturday morning ER visit last week, I had different nurses and a different doctor. All of them were strangers this time. We took another set of pictures and found nothing. Well, we did find that I broke my big toe at some point in the past, which I didn't remember doing, but the pictures don't lie. The doctor claimed it was in my records, too.
Before we were finished, the doctor said something about my treatment protocol and my abilities. "It looks like you know what you're doing. I mean, you put your foot up, you iced it, and you're wearing really good shoes. I don't think you'll have any problems, but feel free to come back if you do. By the way, what do you do for a living?" My response apparently threw her. Must've been the shoes.
"Really? You're a farmer?"
That's when I pulled out my business cards and handed one to the doctor and one to the nurse. The doctor read our company slogan: "Feeding the world…because Mayo Clinic was already doing brain surgery." She laughed. "Oh my gosh," she said. "That is excellent! I love it! Can I keep it? I want to show it to a couple of people."
By all means, Doc. Then I gave them the background on the slogan. Perhaps I should add another line to my card. "You never know what you might step into on the farm."
Fate will do that to you sometimes.

Dog kills miniature horse on Martha's Vineyard
Dog kills miniature horse on Martha's Vineyard
May. 13, 2013
EDGARTOWN, Mass. (AP) — Animal control officers say an Old English bulldog killed one miniature horse and mauled another over the weekend on Martha's Vineyard.
Edgartown animal control officer Barbara Prada says the dog apparently jumped a 4-foot fence and attacked the horses on Saturday afternoon.
Prada says the 3-year-old, 50-pound dog "ripped the jugular out and ripped half the face off" one horse and left facial injuries on the other.
The dog named Mugsy has been quarantined for 10 days.
Prada says the owner of the horses can file a written complaint, after which selectmen would decide the dog's fate.
Dog owner Andrew Mahoney tells the Cape Cod Times (http://bit.ly/10Sh7An ) he wants to "do what's right."
