Do you think of healthy food when you think about eating Mexican? Most people don't. But there are so many ways to eat healthy Mexican food in a restaurant. You just have to know which Mexican entrees to order and which Tex-Mex foods to avoid.

Analyzing the Mexican Restaurant Menu

Traditional Mexican fare is made from fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, meat, and seafood. So most of the ingredients in authentic Mexican or Tex-Mex food are good for your diet. And the spicy flavor makes it a great choice for dieters. It can be harder to overheat food when it has some heat.

But many times, when we visit a Mexican restaurant we order the cheesy, fried dishes that can derail a diet. So what should you order instead? It's easy to indulge in diet-friendly Mexican food if you stick to a few guidelines.

When you visit any restaurant, you'll be more likely to eat a low-calorie, healthy meal if you follow smart guidelines.

Make your menu selection in advance. Visit the restaurant website and choose your meal when you're not hungry or distracted.

Have a festive drink before, not during, dinner. If you love to have a Tex-Mex inspired cocktail, either make a skinny margarita at home or enjoy one when you get to the restaurant. Then have your meal with water.

Skip dessert. Your meal will fill you up. After your plate is clean, enjoy the pleasure of your company and skip the high-fat treats.

*Based on a 2,000 calorie diet

One of the most popular items on the Tex-Mex menu is the taco salad. It sounds healthy because it has "salad" in the name, but the calories counts for this large entree can vary significantly.

For example, if you order a salad that comes in a fried taco shell, you should add about 300 calories and 16 grams of fat to your meal total. And any toppings that you add, like sour cream or guacamole, will increase your totals as well. The calories in guacamole come mostly from the healthy fats. A single serving of two tablespoons of guacamole contains 50 calories, 4.5 grams of fat (2.5 grams saturated fat), 240 mg of sodium, and 3 grams of carbohydrate, and 1 gram of protein. It's a relatively low-carbohydrate food, but it's easy to pile up on this creamy dip, so be mindful of portion sizes.

Combination platters are also very popular in Mexican restaurants. Unfortunately, however, these meals almost always provide way more food than you need. As a result, you'll consume 500, 700 or even more calories when you clean your combo plate.

Healthiest Options on the Mexican Menu

These healthier Mexican menu items will help you keep your healthy eating plan on track:

Gazpacho ( a tomato based soup traditionally served cold)

Chicken or vegetable fajitas (with just one or two tortillas or skip them altogether)

Grilled chicken dishes (e.g., arroz con pollo)

Grilled seafood-based dishes (e.g. camarones de hacha)

Salsa and picante sauces with spice

Soft (unfried) tacos with chicken or beef

Tamales

Chicken flautas

Fish tacos

Chile con carne (hold the cheese and chips)

Pico de gallo

Least Healthy Choices on the Mexican Menu

If you're trying to slim down, avoid foods that are fried or covered in cheese or creamy sauces. You should also go light on the guacamole. The dip provides plenty of healthy fat, but the calories in an avocado add up quickly, so enjoy it in moderation.

You may also want to avoid chips and salsa that might be included with your meal. In fact, many smart dieters ask their server not to put it on the table at all. It's too easy to overeat.

If you do choose one of these higher calorie dishes at a Mexican restaurant, split the meal with a friend or have half of the entree wrapped up to eat at another time.

These less healthy Mexican foods are higher in calories:

chips

nachos

chimichangas

quesadillas

crunchy tacos

taco salad in a fried shell

chorizo sausage

sour cream

sopapillas

Make Healthy Mexican Food at Home

The best way to enjoy Tex-Mex food while you're on a diet is to make it at home in your own kitchen. That way you can control the portion sizes and choose lower calorie ingredients. Grill fish, shrimp or chicken for tacos, enjoy a lean steak fajita or make your own taco salad with crunchy vegetables and a small amount of cheese.

Maroon 5 have released a new single titled "Cold," featuring Future.
Related: Maroon 5 are the Pokémon You Can't Catch in 'Don't Wanna Know'
The band teased the new music for weeks as their Instagram slowly filled up with photos of women in sexy lingerie and animal masks/heads. Sadly, today's release did not feature any of the new imagery. Fans were given the audio with a still image of the single's artwork.
Future finds his way into the song in a minimal way, weaving his flavor in and out of the last two verses without a heavy hand.
The group's last album V was released back in 2014, and last year they dropped "Don't Wanna Know," which featured Kendrick Lamar. Hopefully, this means a new album is on the way.
Check out the latest from Maroon 5 below.

The third session of the Second Vatican Council, held in the fall of 1964, was without doubt the darkest time of the council.
Everyone wanted to get the council finished so that they could get back to dealing with their main responsibilities at home as well as to halt the flow of money that it took to keep the bishops in Rome and to run the council itself.
However, Vatican II would not end in 1964. In fact, only two more documents were approved that year – the Decree on Ecumenism and the Constitution on the Church (Lumen Gentium). It wasn't until 1965 that the remaining 12 documents that make up the vast bulk of the council's teaching won final approval.
Although defeated on virtually every issue, the council minority that was based in the Vatican Curia continued to pressure the pope to change documents to meet their concerns.
While the principle of the collegiality of bishops had been overwhelmingly approved by the council fathers in 1963, the Constitution on the Church had not yet been approved and the minority continued to argue strenuously for the view that all authority in the Church rested in the hands of the pope.
The bishops ended up holding 52 votes on the different sections of Lumen Gentium in 1964 – 39 of those votes on the contentious Chapter 3 which dealt with the role of the bishops.
Poland's Archbishop Karol Wojtyla (right), the future Pope John Paul II, began to rise to global prominence with his contributions to the Decree on Religious Liberty and the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World at Vatican II.
The council's most unique document – the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World (Gaudium et Spes) – began to resemble its final form during the 1964 discussions. However, it too met with strong opposition.
It was here that the neat division of council fathers and theologians into "progressives" and "conservatives" broke down. Many who had been considered progressives were as opposed to Gaudium et Spes as were the traditionalists.
The German theologians, such as Karl Rahner and Joseph Ratzinger, found much to criticize in the document. However, one of its greatest champions was Cardinal Karol Wojtyla of Krakow, Poland.
What was to become the Decree on Religious Liberty also moved toward centre stage in the 1964 third session. Again, Wojtyla was one of the strongest proponents of a document that was also heartily proposed and defended by the American bishops.
On the other side were those, such as Cardinal Ernesto Ruffini, who maintained that since the Catholic Church was the one and only true Church, it would be harmful to accept the existence of religious freedom.
The issue of Catholic relations with Jews also moved more to the forefront. At first, this concern was tucked into a corner of the Decree on Ecumenism. However, the council fathers felt it did not belong in a document about relations among Christians.
Eventually, Catholic-Jewish relations became the cornerstone of a document that attempted to cover the Church's relations with all non-Christian relations (Nostra Aetate).
The topic of Jewish-Catholic relations, nevertheless, attracted more media attention than did any other issue raised at the council.
Also on the front burner in the third session was the council's document on divine revelation. The rejection of the Curia-sponsored schema on that topic in the first session was one of the key moments of Vatican II. Coming up with an acceptable document to take its place was not easy.
When approved in 1965, Dei Verbum revolutionized Catholic understanding of Scripture and its relationship with tradition. The document's assertion that the Church's teaching authority is not above the Word of God, but is its servant, was another key teaching that cut into the triumphalistic understanding of the Church.
The blackest week of the council came near the end of the third session when, after the council fathers had approved the documents on the Church and ecumenism, Pope Paul VI changed those documents in ways that some believed undermined the council's commitment to collegiality.
In due time, this series of articles will look at the so-called black week. But first, we will present an overview of the final text of Lumen Gentium, The Dogmatic Constitution on the Church.
That constitution is made of eight chapters:
Although this series cannot examine every chapter in detail, it will try to give a bird's eye view of the main aspects in what was considered – at least at the time of the council – as Vatican II's most important document.

Signing keeps Buchholz young at heart
Pitcher's dream came true when he appeared on MLB card
Taylor Buchholz, a 27-year-old pitcher who went 6-6 with a 2.17 ERA in 63 appearances for the Rockies in 2008, thinks about his collecting days growing up in Pennsylvania whenever he's asked to autograph a baseball card these days.
In one season with the Houston Astros and two with the Rockies, Buchholz has compiled an 18-21 record with a 4.42 ERA. Currently recovering from an elbow injury, the former star at Springfield (Pa.) High School discussed his collecting hobby with MLBPLAYERS.com.
MLBPLAYERS.com: You went to high school near Philadelphia. When your family and friends saw your first baseball card, what did they tell you?
Buchholz: It was funny because they were excited about seeing me on a Minor League card. I think it was in the Florida State League. But they kept saying, "Hey, when are you going to be on a Phillies card?" I was like, "As long as it's a Major League Baseball card, I'm happy." We joke about that to this day."
MLBPLAYERS.com: Could you have envisioned yourself on an MLB card when you were in high school?
Buchholz: Well, I dreamed about it like every other card. You just don't know. I always kept the faith that I would make it. When I saw the first MLB card with the Astros, it showed me that dreams can come true. I didn't take the greatest picture, but it was a Major League card nonetheless.
MLBPLAYERS.com: What are your memories of card collecting?
Buchholz: I was a kid who loved baseball and also loved baseball cards. I was a big Phils fan and liked all of their players. Really, it was something that I remember like it was yesterday. Cards were cheaper back then, though they seem more expensive now. I'd hang with my friends and compare cards.
MLBPLAYERS.com: Do you still collect cards?
Buchholz: Not now, but I do sign as many as possible. I will never turn down an autograph request. I think it's great that kids are collecting cards like we did. It's different with so many different types of cards. It seemed more basic when I was a kid. I have a bunch of cards in my house that I collected when I was young. Now, signing those cards keeps me young.

Once they arrived at Stoney Point Jetty (about 5 km from Hastings), Maverick signed the invoice for the Limo and sent the driver on his way.
Lily insisted that she know what their ultimate destination was. "In due time my darling" he answered.
She trusted him but she was so worried that she would run into someone that she knew.
"You don't understand", she pleaded. "I know we're going on the Ferry because there's no other reason for us to be at Stoney Point. My husband has family in Inverloch and I am supposed to be in Sydney on business, remember?"
"Well I can promise you this. We aren't going anywhere close to Inverloch." After a slight hesitation, he gave in, "We're going to Rhyll." Maverick hesitated then decided that it was better that there be no more surprises. "I rented the Maple Penthouse at the Youki's on Phillip Island for the week".
"Oh my god, Are you serious? Youki's?" she asked.
"Nothing but the best for my Angel"
Thinking about where they were, Lily made a very important observation. With a slight tone of humorous sarcasm, she asked "Hey Captain Smarty, the ferry made its last run hours ago… how do you plan to get there from here without going back through Melbourne… without a car because the limo just left?" She loved the fact that she got one up on him. She has always known him to be right, always in charge. She loved that about him. Of the two, she was the one who thought he was perfect. He adamantly denied it but, she has never known him to make a mistake until now and oh was it a big one. A look of worry instantly came over his face. And she relished the moment.
Here they were standing on an empty dock at Stoney Point in Victoria, Australia. They had a destination in mind but no way to get there. As much as she liked the look on his face, she figured she had better "Bail him out".
With a victorious grin, she said, "I'll use my cell to call a cab… but you will owe me something MISTER…"
With a half hearted laugh he replied, "Owe you something? Like what the price of the call? "
"Nope, whatever I want during the course of the week."
"So what you're saying is that because I messed up, I owe you… but if tables were turned, that would mean you would owe me right?"
"Well seeing as though I'm not the one here who goofed, yeah… sure why not?"
Lily was taken off guard when she saw someone exiting the harbor office. Thinking they were alone, she became very cautious.
As the shadow approached them her concern increased. Lily moved behind Maverick and prepared herself of the unknown.
As the dark shadowed figure approached them she heard him say "Captain Maverick Sir, Is that you?"
With a stern and authoritive voice, he answered, "I though you forgot about us and left for the evening.
"No Sir, the Provincial Police Headquarters cleared us to ferry you across to Phillip Island after hours. My crew and I have been awaiting your arrival. The ship is right over here sir".
"Well I apologize for the delay I know you and your crew would like to get home to your families… I was held up at LAX. I truly apologize".
"No problem Sir. Think nothing of it. Right this way." he said as he pointed to the ferry at the end of the dock.
Lily was stunned. She has lived here all her life and has never known the ferry to run after dark. She looked at Maverick and said, "How'd you…?"
With a grin from ear to ear, he interrupted her, "My lady, your Ferry is waiting"
"But how…?"
"Lily we mustn't keep the crew waiting. And don't worry, we have the whole week to decided what you owe me"
She couldn't believe her eyes. Who was this man?
Once they stepped onto the ferry, that actually looked more like a small cruise ship more than a ferry, any reservations that she may have had disappeared. They walked to the bow (front) of the vessel and enjoyed the view. As Lily stood against the rail, she could feel the breeze blowing through her hair. The cool evening air had a slight chill to it and it sent a slight shiver over her body. As she leaned against the rail, absorbing the moment, she felt two strong hands on her hips from behind and a pair of soft lips kissing the side of her neck.
Enjoying the moment, she rested her head on his shoulder. This opened up her neck to his kisses. Lily touched his hands and moved them onto her stomach just below her naval. Maverick thought to himself, if this isn't an invitation, nothing was.
The bow of the vessel was dark with the exception of the "running lights". They could see the lights of French Island to their left and Phillip Island straight ahead. Initially this was supposed to be a fifteen minute Ferry Ride but because it was a night time voyage, the ferry and to reduce speed thus extending the ride.
Maverick's kisses moved from her neck line to her ear lobe. As he continued to nibble his way from her lobe back to her neck, she was caught up in the moment. Lily began guiding his right hand to her breast and held his left hand in place. Between the sensual moment and the cool breeze, her nipples were becoming harder and increasingly more sensitive.
Lily was still feeling good from their second bottle of Dom Perignon in the Limo and was definitely in the mood for anything. She could feel her panties getting more and more damp as a result of Maverick's touch. He slipped his hand over hers and used her own hand to massage her breast.
As she massaged her breast, she guided his other hand down to her crotch. The breeze was definitely cooperating because the front of her skirt was swaying up and down in the breeze allowing easy access to her now wet thong.
Once in place, she now guided his hand over her wet crotch. As Maverick slipped a finger into her thong and began massaging her clitoris, Lily's knees began to buckle. Catching her balance, she inadvertently pressed her ass against Maverick hard cock. Lilly released her breast and reached behind her. Without hesitation, she rubbed his hardened penis before moving his zipper down.
She took her hand away from her crotch and reached over her head and ran his fingers through the hair on his head. The more she rubbed her ass against his crotch the more she wanted him here and now. Their gyrating increased until she couldn't take it any longer. She released his cock and moved her thong string from between her luscious ass cheeks, then bent slightly forward towards the rail.
Maverick slipped placed his hands on her fabulous hips and inserted his prick into her waiting vagina. Ever so slowly, he began moving in and out of her wet tunnel. The more he did, the more she wanted him to. He only gave her an inch or so but did so in a rapidly increasing pace. The faster he went the deeper she wanted him.
This went on until she could handle it anymore. She begged him fir it, "Dam baby fuck me… fuck me… oh Fuck me baby Oh yes… oh oh Baby fuck me…"
This was his cue; the time to start has arrived. Now that his teasing has done its duty, Maverick pressed forward with everything he had and rammed his dick as deep as it would go. She could hardly handle it. It was both pleasure and pain. The faster he fucked her, the deeper he went.
Every rapidly increasing thrust was to the hilt "oh yeah baby… fuck me… oh …oh… oh my god yes. Deeper … harder… oh yeah…"
In a split second, Lily felt every nerve in her body jump to life and explode. She felt every nerve awaken and dance across her body. The more she shook the harder and faster Maverick fucked her.
When her shivers subsided, she pulled Maverick out of her. She quickly knelt down in front of her lover and took his dick into her mouth. She loved the taste of her juices on him. Taken by surprise, Maverick certainly wasn't going to tell her no.
She twirl
ed her tongue along his dick as she continually thrusts forward taking him deep into her throat. In rapid fashion she continued to suck his cock deeper and deeper
. Fighting the gag reflex, she reached around and squeezed his ass. Maverick placed one hand on the rail and the other on the back of Lily head. She more than allowed him to thrust his dick deep into her throat as he pulled her head into him.
With a force equal to the Manhattan Project, Maverick released his cum deep into her throat. It took everything she had not to choke on the large load she had just received. Without fail she stayed in place and drained his balls of everything they had to offer.
She enjoyed the taste of her juices mixed together his. Once she finished draining him of his load, she licked the shaft and head of his big dick like an ice cream cone relishing every drop of his seed.
Once she cleaned his now softening dick, she zipped his fly and stood up. Now facing each other, Maverick leaned forward and pinned her into the corner of the rail. They locked lips while their tongues danced in each others mouths.
What seemed out of the blue, the ferry blew its docking horn. This snapped both of them from their trance. It would appear as though they had arrived in Cowes, Phillip Island.

DETROIT - Having just come off of a wonderful Mother's Day celebration, I got a little taste of me-time and relaxation. Yes, I celebrated with my family and my mother as well, but I also had the opportunity to take on less responsibility for the day, and focus on me. When you work so hard, it's amazing how refreshing and enjoyable some alone time can be. So why not at least fantasize about an ideal "Mom Cave?"
We've all heard the term Man Caves. My husband has his own man cave in our finished basement that he prefers everyone steer clear of. It's his place to get away, watch his nerdy sports, play guitar and do his work. If our kids get into his things and touch something in his space, he gets pretty irked.
It's an invasion of his alone space.
When we first moved into our home, we were thrilled to have a finished basement. But, a good portion of the finished basement was quickly taken over by my husband. He really put a stamp on his area of the basement or "man cave." I can handle the TV and the couch is nice enough but the rest is laughable. He litters the area with all of his guitar gear, CDs and yes, a giant lava lamp. He literally "wall-papered" the walls with his old eighties bedroom rock and sports posters, pretty much ensuring no reasonable adult would venture to that portion of our basement without laughing. He loves the place.
Many moms will probably admit that once they are given some time to themselves, they come back refreshed and better able to take on the day. So, why not have Mom Caves? Is it realistically possible? I can barely make a trip to the bathroom or take a shower without interruption, but if I could pull off a Mom Cave, then I'm ready to hire the contractors.
If I decided to build my own mom cave, here's a jist of what it would be like.
I would have…
- a TV with a DVR and a remote/programming that I control. My DVR would probably be filled with recordings that I'd be almost embarrassed to show anyone – e.g. Price Is Right, reality shows like the Bachelorette and Dancing With the Stars, chick drama like Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy, and some funky medium and psychic reality shows.
- a fun selection of brain teaser activities and games (I know, weird, but I just like that kind of stuff).
- cozy warm temps in the winter, i.e. heat set at about 78 so I can wear shorts when I lounge around; and never too much A/C in the summer – who wants to feel cold in the summer?
- a library of some great books that I could read without interruption.
- so many lit candles I wouldn't need a lamp.
- a drink and snack bar full of foods and drinks I love because I typically buy groceries the whole family enjoys and I miss out on those unique items that only I like.
And in my Mom Cave, I don't have to hear anyone complain.
So, moms - what would your Mom Cave be like?

Hi, I'm very new to programming and am taking an entry-level course in C. One of the homework problems we have is to take two text files, merge them into a third file, and sort the file alphabetically. I think that I've written a code to merge the files, although I haven't tested it yet because he hasn't given us the address of the files - once I have more of the code written I'll make my own files to test it. The part that I can't get is the sorting. I know how to sort arrays alphabetically, but I don't know how to get the file into an array in the first place. This is made harder by the fact that we don't know how long the list is (our program is supposed to work no matter what files he gives us). Here is what I have so far, can anybody give me some guidance on how to proceed? Thank you!
Once the text is an array, I'm planning on using this to sort it alphabetically:Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <io.h>
main() {
FILE *fp1, *fp2, *fp3;
//merge documents into one list (list names are placeholders)
fp1 = fopen(list1.txt, "r");
fp2 = fopen(list2.txt, "r");
fp3 = fopen(mergelist.txt, "w");
while (fgets(str, 80, fp1)){
fprintf("%s\n", str);
while (fgets(str, 80, fp2)){
fprintf(%s\n", str);
//count how many lines are in the new list
fp3 = fopen(mergelist.txt, "r")
int i, j, k;
while(fgets(str, 80, fp3)){
//make an array long enough to hold the entire list
float x[i];
for (j=0; j<i-1; j++) {
for(k=j+1; k<i; k++) {
if(strcmp(x[j], x[k])!=0 swap(&x[j], &x[k]);
int swap(char x[], char y[]) {
char tmp[20];
strcpy(tmp, x);
strcpy(x, y);
strcpy(y, tmp);

Injury bug ravaging Padres
By Steve Overbey / Special to MLB.com
In all, San Diego has 13 players on the disabled list -- five are out for at least 60 days.
Luebke, Micah Owings, Mark Kotsay, Huston Street, Tim Stauffer, Carlos Quentin, Logan Forsythe, Joe Wieland, James Darnell, Jason Bartlett, Kyle Blanks, Jeremy Hermida and Dustin Moseley comprise the unlucky 13.
"We've been hit hard, no doubt about it," Padres manager Bud Black said. "It's just one of those years for a couple clubs."
San Diego players have missed a combined 319 games heading into play on Monday.
Mikolas earns first career victory
ST. LOUIS -- Reliever Miles Mikolas picked up his first Major League win in the Padres' wild 3-2, 13-inning triumph over the Los Angeles Angeles on Sunday.
Mikolas turned in two perfect innings in his eighth Major League appearance.
San Diego pitcher Clayton Richard scored the winning run on a two-out single by Will Venable. Richard was forced to pinch-hit with two out in the 13th after San Diego manager Bud Black used all of his position players. Richard scampered all the way home from first after Los Angeles outfielder Howie Kendrick booted the ball.
"My first win, being in an extra-inning game and a walk off, it was really exciting," Mikolas said. "Kind of an unexpected way to get it. I was just pumped."
Mikolas is 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA. He has worked two scoreless innings in each of his last two appearances and has yet to give up a hit to a left-handed batter.
The 23-year-old was brought up from Double-A San Antonio on May 4.
Mikolas was one of the first players to greet Richard at the plate after he scored the game-winning run.
"It was crazy," Mikolas said. "I'm going to get the lineup card and probably frame it."
Missouri native Palmer could face Cards
ST. LOUIS -- Matt Palmer grew up dreaming of pitching for the St. Louis Cardinals in Busch Stadium.
Half of that dream may come true over the next few days.
The Padres right-hander, who was recalled from Triple-A Tucson on Sunday, hails from Caruthersville, Mo., a 2 1/2 hour drive south of St. Louis. He attended several Cardinals' games as a youngster and always hoped he would eventually make it to Majors and perform in the closest stadium to his hometown.
This is Palmer's fifth trip to the big leagues after stints with San Francisco (2008) and the Los Angeles Angels (2009-2011). He last pitched for the Angels on April 24, 2011, but he never got the chance to pitch in front of family and friends.
Now, that dream could become reality.
"It's kind of funny, when you're little, you think about that kind of stuff and then maybe it really happens," Palmer said.
Palmer collected 16 tickets for Monday's game and said at least 20 more people from his hometown of 6,168 will be in attendance for the first game of the three-game series. Even more are coming for Tuesday and Wednesday's contests.
The 33-year-old compiled a 4-2 record with a 4.64 ERA at Tucson. He threw well in Spring Training, but suffered a hamstring injury that stalled his progress. His solid seven-week performance at the Triple-A level, along with a host injuries, helped bring him back to the big club.
San Diego manager Bud Black said Palmer would have likely made the team out of Arizona, were it not for the injury. Black is glad to have Palmer back aboard.
"He can start, he can spot start, and he's able to relieve in a number of different roles," Black said. "He's a long man, he can pitch middle [relief]. We like the versatility in his arm."
Palmer was released by the Los Angeles Angeles last season and signed a Minor League free-agent contract on Dec. 1. He last appeared in the majors on April 24, 2001.
After 391 days, Palmer is happy to get another chance.
"I'm ready, whatever they want me to do," Palmer said. "I'm happy to be here and to do whatever it takes to stay here."
Palmer has a major league mark of 13-7 with a 4.52 ERA in 20 starts spanning five-plus seasons.
Palmer starred at Caruthersville High School and played at Missouri State University under legendary coach Keith Guttin.
Palmer still has many friends in southeast Missouri and would love a chance to perform in front of them.
"I'm glad some people are here to enjoy this with me," Palmer said.

It's gritty wins like this where you have to respect Woodson as coach.
Real Talk
game mvp-ellisThanks for getting us the win!
Edit: Nyk: no its games like this where you thank the bucks for playing like a piece of crap. Stop being so dense.
Wow. Indiana beat Miami
...and we whooped Indiana twice back to back.
Gutsy win but without Stat and Lin, this team will not get too far.
I missed the game but based off the boxscore,
-We dont win the game without Melo
-Davis needs to shoot less
-Fields might as well be garbage, hes an inconsistent waste of talent and athleticism
-Ellis has destroyed the Bucks playoff dreams for this year, nothing against him but it could take him an offseason before he fits in. Hes a good player though
-26 points for Dunleavey? well i just heard he had 24 in the 1st half, that makes me sick. At least they showed they can slow him down in the 2nd half

PHOENIX — The wet weather Monday wreaked havoc with Valley traffic in the morning and into the afternoon and a flash flood advisory has been issued for Maricopa and Pinal counties.
A half-inch of rainfall has been recorded at Sky Harbor Airport on the day.
Several accidents, including two water rescues, and road closures have been reported, and about 1,000 Salt River Project customers in the West Valley are without power.
Phoenix police say that by 3 p.m. Monday, officers had handled 164 traffic
hazard calls with at least eight of those involving people stranded in their
cars. There were no reported injuries.
The Arizona Department of Transportation said part of a U.S. 60 underpass in Tempe was flooded and the flooding has closed exit ramps on Interstate 17 at Greenway Road.
A crash involving a truck at the southbound Loop 101 near Warner Road has closed the eastbound ramp to U.S. 60 at Loop 101 north.
Another accident on U.S. 60 west near Rural Road in Tempe was slowing traffic and one driver said McClintock Drive between Guadalupe and Baseline roads also in Tempe "is a small lake, not a road."
Phoenix Fire spokesman Tony Mure said several people had to rescued from their cars trapped in high water near Bell Road and 27th Avenue.
Associated Press contributed to this article.

http://mmajunkie.com Still 10 days from its debut, World Series of Fighting has made another change in its broadcast booth.
The promotion on Tuesday announced its official team to call World Series of Fighting 1 will be Todd Harris and Bas Rutten. Rutten already had been attached to the card, but Harris is a new addition.
WSOF 1 takes place Nov. 3 at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. The event's main card airs live on NBC Sports Network.
"We are thrilled that Bas and Todd have signed on for our first event," World Series of Fighting President Ray Sefo stated. "These guys are true professionals and we know that their commentary will add tremendous value to our first card."
It's been a bit of a revolving door in the broadcast booth for WSOF. The first team reported to be on board was Michael Schiavello, Rutten and professional wrestler and Olympian Kurt Angle. But Angle had to pull out of the announcing gig due to contractual stipulations with Viacom, which owns Spike TV, the cable network Angle appears on for Total Nonstop Action wrestling.
Angle was replaced by Renzo Gracie, retaining a three-man booth. The Internet quickly was abuzz with chatter about the trio – all of whom could be classified as having unique personalities on the microphone.
But on Tuesday, WSOF made what appears to be its final switch, bringing in Harris. A WSOF official on Tuesday told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that the promotion, as well as NBC Sports Network, reevaluated the broadcast crew.
"WSOF and NBC Sports Network revisited and discussed the telecast team at length and we decided that, for the inaugural event, it would be best to simplify things and go with a two-person team in the booth," the official said. "Since Todd has extensive experience covering fights and working with NBC Sports Group, we felt he would be the best fit for one of the two positions."
Harris has an existing relationship with NBC as the former play-by-play voice for the WEC on Versus, which is owned by NBC. Harris also did broadcast work for NBC during the Summer Olympics. But in the current MMA realm, Harris is best known as the host of "UFC Tonight" on FUEL TV, part of the FOX family of networks.
As previously announced, the WSOF main event features heavyweights Andrei Arlovski (17-9) vs. Devin Cole (20-9-1), and light heavyweights Anthony Johnson (13-4) and D.J. Linderman (14-3) meet in the co-headliner. Rounding out the main card are bantamweights Miguel Torres (40-5) vs. Marlon Moraes (8-4-1) and welterweights Gregor Gracie (7-2) vs. Tyson Steele (8-1).

Royal Garden was laid out in 1534 on the orders of the Habsburg Ferdinand I. From the owners he gradually bought old vineyards beyond the valley of the Brusnice stream and had a Renaissance garden laid out here, which later became famous for its rare botanical specimens and the exotic plants gained from distant countries. From the very beginning there were situated a number of buildings serving the entertainment of the nobility: the Ball Game Pavilion, the Royal Summer House, the Lion Court. Currently the garden follows the tradition of an "English-style" park created in the mid 19th century, but it also contains elements of Renaissance character (giardinetto near the Royal Summer House) as well as Baroque elements (ornamental flower beds). It can be approached via four entrances, the western gates from the street U Prasneho mostu (By the Powder Bridge), the northern gate near the Royal Summer Palace and the eastern gate from the Chotek Park.
Note that description was taken from official pages of Prague Castle (http://www.hrad.cz/).
Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, has long attracted artists and wandering spirits, although it was originally inhabited by prehistoric fish. Their inland sea filled the basin contained by the Tatras and Carpathian mountains, but when it eventually dried up they were forced to yield the terrain to dinosaurs, wooly mammoths and Neanderthals. In human times the Celtic tribes came to reside here, leaving remains dating back to the 4th Century B.C. Their tribal name, Boii, gives the root of the word "Bohemia". The three separate territories of Bohemia, Silesia and Moravia now make up the modern Czech Republic, which split from Slovakia in the 1993 "Velvet Divorce." Thanks to its enigmatic founder, the city of Prague derives a magnetic appeal for visionaries, scientists and astronomers. The historical figure credited with the launch of Prague is Princess Libuse, a visionary prophet and warrior who once stood atop the hill at Vysehrad and made the prophecy as follows, "I see a vast city, whose glory will touch the stars!" This indeed came to pass after she took Otokar Premysl to be her husband and King, launching the Premyslid dynasty, and leaving it to rule for the first four hundred years of Czech history. When the last Premyslid king, Wenceslas III, died without producing a male heir, the fourteen year-old John of Luxembourg came to take the throne of the Czech lands. Hot-headed John died in battle, but his diplomatic son Charles IV inherited the throne and, through keen multi-lingual savvy, managed to both keep it and earn the title "Father of the Czech Nation." Charles IV was the first of the Holy Roman Emperors here; he ruled during the height of Prague's elegance and splendour. This is the man to know if you want to understand Prague's layout. He sponsored the construction of such landmarks as the Charles Bridge, the Hunger Wall and St. Vitus' Cathedral, as well as personally designing the neighborhood called New Town (Nove Mesto) which has for its center Karlovo Namesti or Charles Square. The city displays every branch of architecture across the last thousand years, including Cubism, a style which you will be hard-pressed to find applied to buildings anywhere else in the world. Beyond the stunning visual makeup of the city, there is a wealth of nightlife and entertainment, beginning with the legendary concert halls including the Rudolfinum, National Theater, Estates Theater and the Municipal House. After investigating the Castle and Bridge, which are the most heavily-trafficked tourist areas, take a look around Zizkov and Letna, two of the cooler neighborhoods for bars and restaurants. However quiet it may seem after ten PM, Prague is alive and throbbing in an endless array of basement bars, pubs, clubs, discos and pool halls waiting to be discovered by the intrepid subterranean adventurer. To get an idea of what lies in store, check out the panoramas for Chateau and Palac Akropolis and when you're out and about, make sure you look for the stairs down to the cellar. Apart from shopping, eating, drinking and wearing out your digital camera, delve into the rich green carpet of Prague's parks, many of which lie only walking-minutes from the city center.Text by Steve Smith.

|The Assassination Of Russia
A 52-minute documentary, using footage originally shot by NTV. The film examines the September explosions, and focuses on the foiled bombing in Ryazan on September 22, 1999. It puts a human face onto the tragedy- you will hear from those who were there, saw it, and lived through it.
The film vividly portrays the inconsistencies in government officials' reactions to Ryazan, and their later attempts to consistently blame the Chechens. Questions about the possible involvement of the special services are raised.
Bloody September
In September of 1999, a series of middle of the night explosions shook Russian cities destroying several apartment blocks. More than 300 people died as they slept. The attacks, attributed to the Chechen terrorists, boosted the popularity of the hawkish would-be President Vladimir Putin.
Then, a strange thing happened. A bomb was defused by the local police, the trail of evidence leading to the door of FSB, the Russian secret service. The FSB was forced to admit "an ill-conceived exercise".
Ever since, a question has lingered over Mr. Putin's presidency: Who Done It? Why no one has been convicted of 9/99 attacks? Why the investigation was suppressed? Witnessess disappeared? Inquisitive journalists imtimidated? Critical TV stations closed down? In these pages you will find the facts, the news and the views about the gravest of unsolved crimes of the XX century.

Hi there,
I tried to install ZoneAlarm 10 using the web installer zaSetupWeb_101_101_000_en.exe, but it wouldn't download and would always fail.
That problem was found to be a CISCO VPN network driver that hadn't uninstalled properly.
But, at the time I wasn't aware and sought the full offline download file instead, zaSetup_xxx_xxx_en.exe. Can't remember the exact name, but after installation I now suppose it to be the wrong file because I'm presented with a licensing error stating that the license has expired.
It was difficult seeking the original offline full installer, and since then I have been in a maze of registry editing, CCleaner cleaning, and manual permissions editing on files and folder to delete them from various system folders.
I've had three attempts at reinstalling Zonealarm Free Firewall(The web installer zaSetupWeb_101_101_000_en.exe now works fine) and on all occasions I have received an error that my license has expired and that my machine is not protected. After each failed installation I've had to clean my machine of its remnants.
At this moment I believe that the machine is definitely ready for another attempt at installation after reading and following the advice of this post:
But I'd like to be sure that the steps I have taken are correct so that I will no longer receive a licensing error.
The machine is running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
The system seems to be cleaned of any previous installation(version 9 included).
I have ZoneAlarm Free installed and fully operational, using the latest web installer, on another machine running Windows 7 Home Premium.

Gulf & Western Industries, Inc.
List of Deals
Charles George Bluhdorn, the founder of Gulf & Western, Inc., got his start with a coffee import business, the Fortuna Coffee Company. The coffee industry fluctuated wildly, and Bluhdorn was hoping to make an acquisition in a more stable industry. He turned to the auto parts business and acquired Michigan Plating & Stamping Company, which had the added benefit of being a publicly traded company whose stock Bluhdorn could use to buy other companies. In 1956 Bluhdorn secured a controlling interest in the company, and a year later he merged Michigan Plating with Beard & Stone Electric Company. In 1958 he renamed the company Gulf & Western Corporation.
As it grew, Gulf & Western acquired a number of private auto-parts warehouses and distributors. In 1965, as the company's annual sales approached $200 million, Bluhdorn decided that the time had come to diversify. That year, Gulf & Western acquired a large amount of the stock of New Jersey Zinc, a large mining and chemical company. By early 1966 the conglomerate Gulf & Western was born. By this time, the company's total sales rose from about $180 million to nearly $300 million, and the company's earnings almost tripled, amounting to $17 million. Bluhdorn then began to look for companies in any industry whose undervalued assets he could use to borrow against heavily and purchase more companies.
In 1966 the company acquired Paramount Pictures Corporation, which was suffering heavy losses at the time. Gulf & Western paid $125 million for Paramount and, in return, Gulf & Western's sales were improved to $450 million, ranking the company in the top 110 U.S. manufacturing companies. During this time, the company's auto parts business was also growing. By 1966 it was operating thirty-three auto parts warehouses and 150 auto parts distribution outlets in twenty-eight states.
Gulf & Western acquired the South Puerto Rico Sugar Company in 1967. In the next year alone, the company purchased twenty-three companies, including Consolidated Cigar, E.W. Bliss, Universal American, Brown Company, and Associates Investment Company. Associates Investment became the largest single contributor to Gulf & Western's earnings. By 1968 Gulf & Western's sales surpassed $1 billion, producing a net income of $69.8 million. The company had then acquired 130 companies since its inception.
The company even profited from most of its unsuccessful takeover attempts. In 1968 the company purchased 8 percent of Pan Am stock, hoping to exploit the airline's new 747 airplane and its extensive routes and to develop resort complexes around the world. Pan Am was not interested in such a plan. Soon thereafter, a House Judiciary Subcommittee began to investigate the purchase, causing Gulf & Western to divest itself of the stock. The company made a significant profit from this sale. That same year, Gulf & Western attempted to buy Armour Company. After being discouraged by the Justice Department and watching Gulf & Western's stock plummet thirteen points in three weeks, Bluhdorn dropped his bid on Armour and sold the stock at a $16.5 million profit. By this time, Gulf & Western had built up a $224 million stock portfolio.

(AP) — Daron "Mookie" Blaylock, the former NBA All-Star who played for the Atlanta Hawks through most of the 1990s, remains hospitalized and faces two charges after a fatal crash in suburban Atlanta, police said Sunday.
Jonesboro (Ga.) Police Chief Franklin Allen said 46-year-old Blaylock is charged with driving on a suspended license and failing to stay in his lane.
Allen says officers haven't been able to talk with Blaylock yet because of injuries suffered in the wreck, but they hope to do so as early as Monday. The chief says that interview and talks with prosecutors will determine whether Blaylock will face other charges.
Police say Blaylock was driving an SUV that collided head-on with a van Friday. The crash killed a 43-year-old woman, Monica Murphy. Murphy's husband, Frankie, was driving the van.
Blaylock lives on a six-acre property near Zebulon, Ga., about 30 miles south of the accident scene. Bryan Bennett, a brother-in-law of Blaylock who was at the house Saturday taking care of two of Blaylock's youngest children, said doctors operated in the morning on Blaylock's broken ankle.
Blaylock, who also played for the New Jersey Nets and Golden State Warriors over a 13-year NBA career, was an All-Star in 1994 while with the Hawks. The 6-0 guard averaged 13.5 points, 6.7 assists and 2.3 steals for his career. He made the NBA's all-defensive teams six times in the 1990s.
At Oklahoma, Blaylock helped the Sooners to reach the 1988 NCAA title game, where they lost to Kansas.
The two oldest of his five children, twin sons, play football for the University of Kentucky. Blaylock, at present, does not have a full-time job, Bennett said, but is living comfortably off his savings from his NBA days.

I guess I am a strange cat. I saw last night's American Idol Season 8 rock performances differently than just about everybody on the Internet (see Rock Performances Review ). Everyone hated Danny Gokey's performance of "Dream On", I didn't. Everyone thinks Adam Lambert is the next RobertPlant/Freddy Mercury/Axl Rose/Mick Jagger all rolled in one, I don't. You know I saw Colm Wilkerson play Jean Vallejean in Les Miserables but I did not think he was really a 19th century French fugitive industrialist.
We are covering Christian music artists performing on American Idol Season 8. Danny Gokey and Kris Allen are the last two remaining in the final 4. Most of the Internet buzz has Kris Allen going home tonight. I don't think so. I predicted last night that Allsion Iraheta would leave and I still believe that.
If all of the stars who the "spoilers" have leaked (Daughtry, No Doubt, Paula Abdul, Slash) actualy do performer we won't have time for the Ford video (yeah) or the results (yeah, let's leave them all here for another week.) Enough of this babbling let's get to the show.
The lead in revealed a lot of frustration among Danny, Kris and Allison. Looks liken they have the stage repaired. Over 64 million votes lat night. Are your fingers sore?
I am ignoring the Ford video. Slash is leading the American Idol Season 8 group through "School's Out". Allison outsings them all on the song. Slash was kind of cool on guitar.
Let's get some results. The American Idol performers are pretty calm about the results. Simon tells Kris "we don't want humble". Sorry Simon, Kris is humble. Let's talk about the final note. Danny tells of laughing through the playback. Danny calls it his funniest moment on American Idol. But let's not do results. It is Paula Abdul time.
Does everyone use that autotune technology. So she created that whole Britney Spears style. She doesn't bust the moves the way she used to. It is better than most of the American Idol Season 8 performances but a little clumsy.
Now we get to see No Doubt going old school with "Just A Girl". It is so weird to see No Doubt going back to their roots. I remember when we planted those roots. The rock goddess is doing push-ups. That is a new rock dance move. That was okay. They plan to write their no CD on their tour. Christian music artists Paramore will open on the No Doubt tour. That will be great exposure for this really wonderful Christian rock group.
The first in the Top 3 is Kris Allen. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Jubilation prevails. Accountants rule!
It is time for Daughtry, the 4th place finisher from Season 5 to perform. He is a big star now. He debuts the new single from his new CD, "No Surprise". This is a slow tempo rocker with a bug chorus. Not really me favorite type of rock. He has a great voice but the song does not excite me. Daughtry's debut CD has sold more than 5 million copies.
Back with Allison, Adam and Danny waiting to find out who goes home. Second person who is safe is Adam Lambert. The final member of the Top 3 is Danny Gokey. Allison Iraheta goes home.
I really like her. She is going to be a big star. Where was that last night? She sang the song how I wanted her to. She goes out a star.
Put together your Allison Iraheta mix on iTunes
I am so thrilled that two of the final three American Idol Season 8 performers are Christian music artists. Way to go Danny Gokey and Kris Allen.

This is the therapeutic hot/cold roller that massages and stretches the arch of the foot to help ease the pain of plantar fasciitis. With a patented hourglass shape, the sturdy roller has three convex surfaces that provide a firm grip and stable base to loosen the plantar fascia tissue on any size foot. The device can be used at room temperature before stepping out of bed in the morning, when pain is often greatest because the tissue contracts overnight. The roller also can be warmed in water to speed circulation, or chilled in the freezer to reduce inflammation after long periods of standing or walking. The portable roller tucks into a purse or briefcase for use at work or while traveling, and its antimicrobial surface wipes clean with soap and water. 5 3/4" L x 1 3/4" W x 1 3/4" D. (7 oz.)

7 Ways To Make the Most Out of NaNoWriMo
29 Oct
NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month, takes place every November. The entire purpose of this fun, funky non-profit project is to encourage people to write a draft of a novel—50,000 words—between November 1 and November 30. It costs nothing to sign up at http://nanowrimo.org/ and roughly a half-million people on all continents (including Antarctica!) are expected to take part this year. The goals are enthusiasm, determination and a deadline—not gorgeous prose—but NaNoWriMo is responsible for germinating bestsellers Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen and The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. We turned to a NaNoWriMo veteran, Yu-Han Chao, for her best advice on tackling a novel-in-a-month.
There are many ways to come up with ideas for novels. Try coming up with a few ideas using any of the below methods, then choose the idea you're most excited about.
1. Start with a title or opening lines: Sometimes a title or opening line comes to you; imagine the story that would go along with it.
2. Read a book, magazine, or newspaper: There's probably a good story in there, and if not, ask "what if?" about something or someone so it becomes a good story.
3. Character: Visualize a character, then imagine the worst thing possible happening to your character.
4. Passion: Write about what you are excited or passionate about.
5. Steal: Rewrite another plot/story, but avoid clichés.
2. Develop Your Character, Central Conflict, & Setting
1. Develop your characters into round, not flat ones, by asking yourself questions about them: What does my character look like? What is my character's background and psychology?
2. Decide on the central conflict of the story: Main Character + Goal + Opposition = Conflict. The main character wants something, the opposition thwarts your character's plans and raises the stakes, and this allows your story to rise to a climax.
3. Decide on the setting: When and where. Jot down some notes about important settings, and later work these skillfully into action and dialogue (avoid boring, clunky paragraphs describing nothing but landscape).
Why outline in the first place? It saves time, something you can't afford to waste during NaNoWriMo. Making plans ahead of time can be hard work, but it will save you the major writer's block and possible inconsistency that may result from deciding on these things WHILE trying to write your novel. Not to mention, if something sounds like a bad idea, you can fix it right away in the outline, and not everywhere in a 100k word draft.
So plan and plot ahead. Try Aristotle's three act structure–it's old, but it works.
Act I. The Beginning: Present your world, establish the tone of the novel, introduce your main character & opposition, and have some kind of disturbance/conflict happen that pushes your main character across the first threshold.
Act II. The Middle: Confrontations happen, relationships deepen. A second threshold leads your story inevitably towards the climax.
Act III. The End: After that long awaited climax, pick up broken pieces and tie up loose ends for closure.
4. Maximize Word Count
Since writing an outline for your novel helps at the macro level, try it at the micro level as well: spend five minutes at the beginning of each writing session deciding and summarizing in a few sentences what will happen in the scene you're about to write.
Basically, plan what you will write, then write it.
If you still feel stuck, read something awesome, something you love, something similar to the novel you're writing, for inspiration. If you're genuinely stuck, there are two common reasons:
1. There is something wrong with your plot/scene/character/story.
This is difficult to admit to yourself, but deep down in your gut you know that something in your novel or story isn't working, and that's why you're resisting. Try to diagnose what is dragging you down, fix it (which may be hard work, but so worth it), and write on!
2. You are lazy. (We all are sometimes!)
Try forcing yourself to sit down and write for five minutes—tell yourself to just try it for five minutes—and often that's all you need to get started.
6. Revision
Yes, you are brilliant and talented, but your first draft is nowhere close to its full potential. Before sending your completed NaNoWriMo draft to a beta reader or agent or publisher, read through it and fix things that need fixing, ideally several times. This may take months or even years, but you'll be glad you did.
7. Know the Industry
Please do not self publish or query an agent until you've not only finished your novel, but made it as good as it can be. At that point, you'll need to research and make decisions about publishing (self or traditional?) and querying agents. But you can worry about all that later—for now, plan a little before you write, have fun, and happy noveling!
Meet the Writer: Born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan, Yu-Han (Eugenia) Chao received her MFA in fiction from Penn State and teaches a novel writing class at The University of California, Merced. She made a yearly event of NaNoWriMo until she had a baby and no longer had time. Her stories have appeared in Bellevue Literary Review, Zyzzyva, and other venues. The Backwaters Press and Dancing Girl Press published her poetry books and chapbooks. Her website is www.yuhanchao.com.

text: I recently finished playing Tomb Raider: Underworld on XBOX 360 and I wanted to know what you people thought about it. Let me say first of all that I'm somebody who played and loved the original TR on PS1. It was an amazing game IMHO and really something not seen before. I loved exploring these amazing places in 3D that Lara would go to, and the focus was really on exploring and adventure and not so much on action. I also enjoyed TR2 and to some extent TR3 though things were getting rather repetetive at that point. Plus the two of them had some rather needless and IMHO badly realized action added in that really wasn't needed. TR4 IMHO was an improvement in that way though it seemed to have a rather weak ending. I never actually played TR: Chronicles or TR: Angel of Darkness (I'd gotten a bit tired of TR by that point plus AoD got really, really bad reviews). TR: Legend was the game that brought me back in again. It was beautifully realized, had interesting places to explore and was really a Tomb Raider game while adding many new elements to the mix. I did have my complaints, however. In particular, I didn't enjoy the combat very much at all. I felt it was, again, pretty unnecessary and badly realized. Plus the boss fights didn't do anything for me. Still, it was a good return to form. Now, finally, on to TR: Underworld. First things first: I absolutely love this game. This is the closest TR has ever come to reminding me of the joy I got out of the first game while feeling new and fresh enough to firmly belong in this day and age of gaming. The game looks and feels beautiful. It has an interesting story (thankfully picking up from where Legend left off), fantastic settings and visuals, some beautiful music and sound effects, as well as puzzles that are challenging and fun. The sheer size of some levels can be daunting. But then, that also seems right somehow. It really conveys the epic feeling that the story suggests quite effectively. My biggest complaint probably still lies with the combat. It's better realized here than in Legend, I think. But I still can't help but wonder why the developers feel the need to have SO MUCH OF IT. Part of the fun of TR IMHO was that you'd have huge levels where opponents would only appear every now and then. That meant there was always a basic tension there since you'd never know when you'd encounter another one. In the later levels of TR: Underworld, well, you're just mashing away much of the time, so there's no real suspense to be drawn from that. Plus I very believe Tomb Raider is an adventure game, not an action game. Nevertheless, I was very impressed with and highly satisfied that I picked up this game. Once I was through, I felt like doing it all over again. Then I felt like playing Legend and Underworld all over again. Then, when I thought about it some more, I felt like playing ALL the Tomb Raider games again! It just really managed to re-ignite that excitement that the first game had inspired over ten years ago. As a consequence, I'm really eager to see what the successor will be like. Sadly, Eidos doesn't seem to be happy with sales figures so they might change things around quite a bit rather than evolving the good material that's been established here. So, what do you people think about Tomb Raider: Underworld? Has anyone played the DLC?

Information Technology Committee (ITC) Minutes
February 9, 2012, 12pm-1pm, OM304
Present: Lorraine Capobianco (Chair), Mitch Wagener, Todd McInerney, Rich Montague, Rona Gurkewitz, Terry Wells, Veronica Kenausis, Kit Hinga, Rebecca Woodward
Projects In Process – Update
- Haas 413 is complete. UC (University Computing) installed new machines with Windows 7 during the intersession.
- WS212 is complete. UC installed new laptops during the intersession.
- MIS Information Security Classroom/Lab WS128 is complete and is ready for the MIS faculty.
ITC Machine Allocation Spreadsheets & Budgets
- School/area machine allocation spreadsheets were distributed to each school technology chair and Veronica. As discussed in the past, all faculty and staff computers that either need ram or if they need a new computer to be upgraded to Windows 7, the individual will receive one or the other regardless of the funds allocated to their respective school/area. In the interim, the amounts (costs) for technology were temporarily removed from the spreadsheets. Once the costs for the technology have been re-calculated, the amounts that will be re-entered on the spreadsheets.
- There is CSUS2020 money for FY12 and FY13 but not for FY14. Lorraine mentioned that the Provost received a second allocation of CSUS2020 money ($100K).
- Fall 2011 CSUS2020 Academic Requests –Terry Wells asked about the status of the Art Department's requests for a Nikon Coolscan 9000 scanner and an Expression Photo flatbed. A work order for the Nikon Coolscan will be created to have it installed. (This was done after the meeting. Terry Wells needs to identify the location.) The request for the Expression Photo scanner was submitted to DPW and we are awaiting approval. The Math and Social Sciences departments requested color printers. Paul Reis, VPFA , Jane Gates, VPAA/Provost and Lorraine are evaluating printing solutions for the university. An Epson color 36" wide printer that University Publication and Design is no longer using is being repurposed for students. UC had the printer serviced and supplies have been purchased. The printer will be located in the STTC and therefore, can be used by departments/areas that have a need to print on 36" wide paper. University Computing is targeting mid-February to have a procedure in place and then the printer will be available for use. Lorraine explained to the Vice Presidents that requests for technology should be routed their school technology committee. The school technology chair can then bring it to the ITC. In this particular instance, through discussion, the ITC committee recognized that several additional departments, Ancell, Art Department, and Biology, also have a need to use this type of printer. A solution was identified at no additional cost to the university and will satisfy multiple department needs.
- Lorraine distributed a draft list of university software to the ITC. Visual Studio and McAfee were added to the list at the meeting and the revised version of the list is attached to these minutes. Lorraine will add comments and questions to the list and email it to the departments, asking that they provide their feedback to their school technology chairperson. The ITC wants to know from faculty what software they are using so that it can be added to the list and if the format of the list is clear.
- We are in a mixed environment with Window computers as there are different versions of Windows on campus. Until all machines have Windows 7, we will adhere to following strategy. New software will not be deployed to machines that have Windows XP. New software will be available through Citrix. New software will be deployed to Windows 7 machines. If a newer version of software becomes available, the newer version and the current version will be available through Citrix. Instructions on how to access software through Citrix is on the last page of the software list.
- The goal is have the list reflect all of the software available at the university and to differentiate department specific software. With that in place, the university may use the list for recruiting faculty and students as well as other purposes.
- Lorraine reviewed a number of open software work orders in Track-It! to familiarize the ITC members with them.
Other Requests
- Lorraine reviewed the request submitted by the Accounting Department to have the desktop computers replaced with laptops as they "impede effective teaching in WS377b classroom." We need to see if we can move this room to a larger classroom.
SMART Boards
- Lorraine wants to have one of the SMART Boards that was purchased by the university installed in the back section of the Westside Computer Center 117 for faculty to use. Lorraine received a request from Becky Hall for math software for SMART board.
Board of Regents – ConnSCU (Connecticut State Colleges and Universities)
- Lorraine briefly reviewed the new organizational structure of the ConnSCU governed by the Board of Regents.
ITC Meeting Schedule:
- Next Meeting: 3/8/12. Lorraine will be available from 11:30am to noon and from 1pm-1:30pm for individual questions.

Thanks dude, just set dvr.
Didnt see this anywhere else. NYJ Training camp report on ESPN at 8 Eastern. 1 full hour dedicated to the JETS.
Thanks dude, just set dvr.
Sounds good, but does anyone actually expect to hear any quality information about camp?
It's going to be an hour of talk about how the Sanchez and Tebow dynamic is doomed to fail and how the Bills are poised to jump ahead of us and challenge the Pats. All because they added Mario Williams.
I can't even bear to watch a full hour of ESPN spewing their uninformed crap about the Jets.
Thanks for the heads up!
I hope they spend at least a couple of minutes talking about the defense. I haven't heard a word about how they looked today, feels like the defense didn't even practice
It is all ready pissing me off.
Not bad,just about what is expected from ESPN. Herms prediction was pretty much crap in my opinion. Beats the 24/7 PATS* slobberfest that they usually have on.
Matt Light is on ESPN as well? LMAO that guy is a freaking idiot
was it a full hour about tebow?
Not sure what Matt said that makes you think he's an idiot. I didn't see anything that he said that was over the top good or bad regarding the Jets.
Polian, Light and Herm along with Suzie was informative yet pretty even handed.
Nobody had glowing praises and all the homers are up in arms. Jets have alot of questions and only a day or 2 into TC. All the questions aren't answered yet.
Let the games begin and then everyone will find out how the pieces fit.
Last year was a windfall for all the windbags regarding the Jets because of the record, holmes ect.
The Jets might not be uber talented but they have enough players to work with for these coaches.
Does anyone believe that the Jets coaching staff isn't top ten in this league?
Like last night when they were joking about Rex proclamation that he's the best D coach in the league, while everyone else was giggling, Polian was like, "if he's not he's right up there with the best".
Westhoff & now the addition of Sparano who beat the Jets a couple of times with a lot less talent, along with Pettine, Thurmond, Dunbar make for a pretty good coaching staff.
Coaching counts in this league & I'll take our coaching staff over the Bills anyday.
does every single cheater that retires have to get hired by the Extra Special Patriotlove Network??
Coaching counts in this league & I'll take our coaching staff over the Bills anyday
Whew, for a second there I thought you meant Bill's coaching staff.
