Pac-12 Morning Five: 03.30.12 EditionPosted by AMurawa on March 30th, 2012
- Without doing the math and coming up with an exact number, it's easy to say that somewhere in the neighborhood of 330-340 teams in the NCAA's Division I will end their basketball season with a loss, either in their conference tournament, the NCAA Tournament, or one of the three other postseason tournaments (to get the exact number, you've got to figure in the fact that half of the Ivy League school can potentially end the season with a win since they don't have a conference tourney, plus D-I independents without a tourney as well). Monday night's winner in New Orleans will obviously have the most to crow about, but the winners of the NIT, CBI and CIT tournaments will all head to the offseason on an upbeat note. And, despite all their struggles this season, Stanford claimed one of those slots on Thursday night, taking it to Minnesota at Madison Square Garden en route to a 24-point win in the NIT Final. Freshman guard Chasson Randle and sophomore backcourt mate Aaron Bright led the way with 15 points apiece, sending assistant coach Dick Davey off to retirement with a win.
- Tonight, Washington State will attempt to be another of those small number of teams to go out with a win, as it faces Pittsburgh in the third game of a three-game CBI championship series. While it is a battle for little more than 101st place, it is still important for the players, and even for some fans, as this article from CougCenter so aptly points out. However, for the third time in as many games, it appears WSU will have to go forth without its best player, Brock Motum, who will likely miss his third straight game after spraining an ankle two minutes into the CBI semifinal game last week. While Motum is doubtful, there is slightly more hope on the Pitt end that their best player, senior guard Ashton Gibbs, will return from his ankle sprain to take part in the final.
- Last summer, Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott led the way to a major score for the conference, earning a $3 billion deal with ESPN and Fox for the rights to football, basketball and even Olympic sports throughout the conference. Still, Scott thinks that there is more to be had, calling college football, at least, undervalued. And, given that the big money available to football allows the Pac-12 to create an environment where 180 conference basketball games will be aired on a national basis, not only is there potentially more money to come for athletic departments around the country, there is more exposure available for basketball and other sports.
- We talked about this possibility the other day, but apparently Duquesne transfer T.J. McConnell has narrowed his list of possible destinations to Virginia and Arizona. Though those schools could not be more different from each other, the point guard has eliminated all other schools from contention. McConnell made a trip to the Charlottesville campus last week and will visit Tucson next week, but the Wildcats should be considered the strong favorite for a couple reasons: First, while Virginia has sophomore Joe Harris firmly entrenched at the point guard spot for the next couple years, Arizona is wide open; and, McDonnell's family has been friendly with the family of Wildcat head coach Sean Miller for some time. Pencil McDonnell in as a Wildcat, eligible in 2013-14.
- Lastly, on the heels of Washington's elimination from the NIT on Tuesday night, the next big question in Huskyland is the fate of freshman guard Tony Wroten and sophomore wing Terrence Ross. Both are widely projected to be first round NBA draft picks should they choose to enter this year's draft, but Wroten in particular could very well slip into the second round and non-guaranteed contract territory. In preparation for the big decisions ahead, both players are awaiting feedback from NBA personnel and will face something of a formality in an NCAA-mandated April 10 deadline to announce their intentions, but in fact they will have until the NBA's official deadline of April 29 to figure out their next step. Unfortunately for both, the NCAA's guidelines don't provide the ability for potential prospects to work out for NBA teams prior to making their decisions. It remains to be seen whether such a setup allows for either more or less bad decisions in regards to early entry.

Presentation Will Highlight 50 Years of Space Exploration
by Dave Finley
SOCORRO, N.M., Sept. 26, 2007 -- The Space Age turns 50 on October 4, the anniversary of the launching of Sputnik, the world's first man-made Earth satellite, by the Soviet Union in 1957. To mark this anniversary, Socorro's Civil Air Patrol (CAP) squadron and the New Mexico Tech Astronomy Club will host a free presentation on 50 years of space history.
Captain Charles Holland of the U.S. Air Force will speak on "Mankind's First Half-Century in Space." The presentation will be at 7:00 p.m., Thursday, October 4, in room 101 of Workman Center on the NM Tech campus. It is free and open to the public.
"Fifty years ago, Americans were shocked that our archrival, the Soviet Union, had inaugurated the Space Age. Now, American astronauts and Russian cosmonauts work together aboard the International Space Station.
Captain Holland will give us a look back at the exciting events of the first 50 years of the Space Age, from the early satellites and pioneering manned flights through the race to the Moon, to today's cooperation and future plans for exploring the Solar System," said Dave Finley, local CAP squadron commander. "We invite the community to join us on this important anniversary," he added.
Captain Holland is Commander, Detachment 1, 21st Operations Group, in charge of the GEODSS space-surveillance facility at White Sands Missile Range. He holds a Masters degree in space systems operations management and has extensive experience in Air Force space operations. He is a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy. He also is a deputy commander and operations officer for Socorro's CAP squadron.
The CAP's Socorro Composite Squadron, formed this year, is open to adults and cadets ages 12-18. Activities include aerospace education, emergency services, and cadet programs that include leadership training, orientation flights, and flight training scholarships.
"We will have information about the Civil Air Patrol available at the October 4 event, and will be happy to answer questions about our programs," Finley said.
The U.S. Civil Air Patrol, the official auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, was founded on Dec. 1, 1941, less than a week before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor brought the U.S. into World War II. CAP is a nonprofit organization with more than 55,000 members nationwide. The organization's members perform 95 percent of continental U.S. inland search and rescue missions, as tasked by the Air Force's Rescue Coordination Center, and was credited by the AFRCC with saving 58 lives in 2006. Its volunteers also perform homeland security, disaster relief and counterdrug missions at the request of federal, state and local agencies. Members play a leading role in aerospace education and serve as mentors to the more than 22,000 young people currently participating in the CAP cadet program.

After installing Wordpress and trying to upload some plugins (the smaller one works), I get the error 'the uploaded file are larger than max_upload_filesize in php.ini'. I have increased max_upload_filesize in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini to 30M (the file I'm trying to upload is about 3mb). I also found a tutorial with the same issue here, which says to set MaxRequestLen to 15728640 (15mb, I used 30mb) in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/fcgid.conf. I did reboot the server after this, to ensure all involved services would restart. I'm still getting the same issue. Does anyone got any tips? Thanks!

Let's investigate if paying for a landline phone is still worth it.
Dropping home phone service has become a popular way to cut a few dollars from the budget. But are the savings really worth it?
Do you still have a telephone that plugs into the wall of your house? The number of people who do is dropping — and with good reason.
Phone interviews can be a nerve-racking way to "meet" a future employer, but they're increasingly common. Follow these techniques for success.
I had been thinking about shedding my landline for a while. I was attached to the convenience for a long time and, more recently, unlimited calls for one price in the United States

This is another offering from the Lo Scarabeo stable, concept by Laura Tuan, and artwork by Antonella Castelli. The deck uses the language of flowers to convey the different concepts of the cards. Each card shows a beautifully painted flower, along with fairies and elves.
The artwork is delicate, and pastel colours prevail here. Each image looks as though it was originally created as a watercolour. The actual design of each card roughly follows the Rider Waite pattern, though heavily interlaced with sweet faced cherubs. This said, I would not regard this as a beginner�s deck � you need a pre-existing understanding of the Tarot to be able to make the associations required to interpret the cards.
For example the Hanged Child presents us with a gleefully excited female fairy hanging upside down from a beautifully depicted poppy flower�.not exactly likely to convey a sense of sacrifice and surrender - more likely to suggest having an excellent time!!
Because of the flower/fairy theme throughout the suits do not have actual cups, swords, pentacles or wands�.instead each of the suits is colour coded against the Elemental attribution. Thus the Chalices comprise primarily of blues and violets, the pentacles are green and gold, wands are primarily reds and pink, and the swords are white.
Interpretations rely heavily on the meaning of specific flowers, which I found quite interesting � those poppies indicate regret over a committed error according to the booklet. The spread given is the Corolla � an interesting self-examination spread.
If you like decks in the Hanson Roberts genre I think you will probably like this one too. The artwork is exquisitely delicate, and the deck is a very pretty one.

While working on iMacistrano (or iWebistrano if you fancy, either way my little iPhone toy project) I started moving things into background tasks and to use timers to fire off requests on a regular basis, specifically to create a deployment, and then to monitor its state.
I used an NSOperationQueue for the former, and initially an NSTimer for the latter. I sent notifications from the NSInvocationOperation object I stuffed into the queue to notify my controller when the event was finished. It doesn't really matter if you're using a notification or using direct method calls, one thing you have to make sure of: When you're updating GUI controls, pushing new controllers or whatnot, for the love of god, make sure you do all these things in the main thread.
I spent several hours trying to find out why on earth my UITextView wouldn't update, but other controls would. I started looking back at the changes that initially caused the problems, and eventually realized that I'm doing tasks in four different threads. Now that can't be good, especially considering that you're supposed to update the GUI from the main thread.
The simple solution is to use
performSelectorOnMainThread: whenever you want to do just that. When you're in a different thread (which you will always be when you're using NSTimer, NSThread or NSOperationQueue), just call that method on whatever object you want to do stuff with the UI:
Easy as pie.
In other news, is it 01234567890 yet?
The guys at Y|Factorial put it in a lot of effort in a new framework for Cocoa which mimics the functionality of ActiveResource. It's ingeniusly called ObjectiveResource, and acts as (having a worst Rails plugin names flashback while writing this) a bridge between your Cocoa (yes, that includes iPhone) applications and RESTful Rails applications.
Below are the two versions compared, one using good old ActiveResource, and one using ObjectiveResource.
In ObjectiveResource it's not all that easy due to the nature of Objective-C and multiple declaration of classes, their properties and interface and implementation, it's still easy enough to use.
I played with it for a couple of hours yesterday, and it was really easy to work with. Sure, it still has some quirks, but the code is an easy read. As a matter of fact, you should really have a good look at it, it's well-tested, well-structured and a nice introduction into things you can do with Cocoa without using the UI features.
Nested resources are still sort of a pain though, they're just not as simple as the ActiveResource version, but I'm thinking there might be room for improvements.
Of course I used everyone's favorite deployment tool Webistrano as a base for my playground project, because let's face it, you want to be able to run deployments from the comfort of your seat in the subway, just before you head into a no-reception zone.
The fruits of my labors are available for your forking pleasure on the GitHubs, and basically makes use of the UITableViewControllers which are a real pleasure to work with.
I love it when two communities merge their ideas of simple-enough programming, and stuff like ObjectiveResource pops out at the end. Another sign that learning new programming languages every once in a while will benefit the ways you program in the languages you already know.
ObjectiveResource won't be the only project that brings together ideas from Ruby and Rails with Objective-C and Cocoa, so they set up camp at a new website.

In the novel The Moviegoer, the character Binx Bolling describes a phenomenon he calls "certification":
Nowadays, when a person lives somewhere, in a neighborhood, the place is not certified for him to live. More than likely he will live there sadly and the emptiness which is inside him will expand until it evacuates the entire neighborhood. But if he sees a movie which shows his very neighborhood, it becomes possible for him to live, for a time at least, as a person who is Somewhere and not Anywhere.
What if a place in one's hometown is depicted in a scene that is ultimately deleted from the final cut of a movie? Is the place still certified?

NORTH DARTMOUTH, Mass.—UMass Boston men's tennis (6-7, 3-1 Little East) used a sweep of doubles Saturday afternoon to cruise to a 6-3 victory over UMass Dartmouth (2-7, 1-3 Little East) in a highly-anticipated Little East Conference Tournament Title Match Rematch.
The Beacons used a pair of comebacks at number one and two doubles and victories at first, second and fourth singles to earn their program-record third-straight win against the Corsairs. Eric Berg's squad defeated UMass Dartmouth 5-4 in last year's LEC Title Match to earn their first-ever trip to the NCAA Tournament.
Seniors Sean Cullen (Medway, Mass.), Charles Lai (Boston, Mass.) and Mark Grinhaus (Scarsdale, N.Y.) each went 2-0 on the afternoon for the visitors.
Lyle Analetto (Belmont, Mass.) and Jack Wang (Suzhou, China) opened the match with an 8-4 victory at number three doubles, to give UMass Boston a 1-0 lead.
The next two points wouldn't be nearly as easy, as Cullen and Lai had to come back from an early 3-0 deficit, to earn a hard-fought 8-6 victory over Matt Bejtlich and Dan Chouinard at top-flight singles.
Second doubles would prove to be even closer, as the Beacons' pair of Eglis Bizhoti (Kucovё, Albania) and Grinhaus survived a pair of match points to earn a 9-8 (7-2) victory over Ray Lawton and Jake Joskolka.
The Beacons carried their momentum over to singles action, as Lai easily dispatched Chouinard 6-0, 6-3 at second-flight singles to put UMB within a point of a match victory.
UMass Dartmouth answered back with a victory at number three singles, as Lawton knocked off Bizhoti 6-4, 6-2.
Malcolm Neville cut the Corsairs deficit to 4-2 moments later, when he defeated Brian Sou (Revere, Mass.) 6-2, 6-4 at number six singles.
Grinhaus responded with a match-clinching victory at number four singles, as he defeated Jonathan Reagan 6-3, 6-2 to make it 5-2.
Cullen pushed the lead to 6-2 with a hard-fought 7-5, 6-3 victory over Bejtlich at number one singles.
The Corsairs capped off the match with a victory at fifth-singles, as Joskolka defeated Wang 6-3, 6-3.
UMass Boston will return to action on Monday afternoon, as the Beacons look to even up their record when they travel to take on Johnson & Wales University (R.I.) at 3:30 p.m.

Geese at the Gallup campus
On Saturday, Oct. 25, I was on the Gallup campus on the Omaha riverfront to take pictures of the new footbridge. I got in my car to leave and turned to the left to look. There I saw a flock of geese near a pond on the Gallup Organization campus. Some of them eventually moved to the pond. I got within 30 feet of some of them. Enjoy!Read More

European Commission
Press release
Brussels, 5 December 2012
Improving the functioning of the food supply chain
Every day, numerous operators (EU and non-EU) of the food supply chain deliver safe and diverse foodstuffs and beverages to over 500 million European consumers, representing an average of 15 % of household expenditure. The agro-food sector is a vital economy driver in the EU which encompasses 17 million enterprises in agriculture, the food processing industry and related services. The High Level Forum for a Better Functioning Food Supply Chain, established in 2010, has presented its report today. It shows that around 80 % of the initiatives contained in the Forum's Roadmap have been satisfactorily implemented. The Forum looks forward to a consensus yet to be reached on the best way to implement the principles of good practice put forward last year to improve business-to-business relationships (IP/11/1469). All parties showed their clear willingness to continue discussions in a constructive way and the Commission encourages stakeholders to put forward a satisfactory solution at the earliest opportunity. In parallel the Commission will assess all possible options for tackling unfair trading practices in the food chain, including legislation, and will launch an impact assessment.
In a joint statement, the European Commission Vice-President Antonio Tajani, Commissioner for Industry and Entrepreneurship, and fellow Commissioners Michel Barnier, Tonio Borg and Dacian Cioloş said: "This work is an example of how bringing together all sectors working around the food chain can produce results and show the direction for future policy in this area. We are particularly pleased with the engagement that all members of the Forum have demonstrated to come up with solutions for a sector that is vital to the EU economy. Stakeholders have demonstrated their commitment to improve the efficiency and competitiveness of the food supply chain. We regret that no agreement has yet been reached on business-to-business unfair trading practices but believe that this can still be done. Stakeholders should maintain an active and committed endeavour to conclude an agreement in the field of business-to-business unfair trading practices. At our meeting today, we have all agreed that we must commit to continue working to the benefit of all actors in the food supply chain. In parallel, the Commission will also examine all options available, including the regulatory one, to address this issue. We aim to achieve clarity on the way forward by the autumn of next year. Our objective is to promote confidence throughout the food chain to the benefit of all - producers, manufacturers, retailers and consumers."
For further information and documents:
Progress achieved in several fields
Business-to-business contractual practices, competitiveness of the agro-food industry and food prices monitoring were the three main pillars along which the holistic work of the Forum was structured. Today's report highlights the progress achieved so far:
12 initiatives are fully achieved. These include:
For 14 initiatives there have been major advances, but more needs to be done to reap their benefits. This includes for instance legislative acts which are currently under legislative procedure or need to be implemented (e.g. the review of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive, food information to consumers); significant progress made in several Member States but not all of them (e.g. on the development of food prices observatories).
For the remaining 6 initiatives significant progress is still needed. In most cases, work is on-going but further actions still need to be taken either by EU institutions (e.g. on novel foods) or by national authorities and private stakeholders (e.g. on national organisations to report on geographical indication counterfeiting). Progress may reasonably be expected in the near future on several initiatives, though there is one exception: delays in the Doha Development Agenda make it unlikely that an ambitious global trade agreement will be reached soon.
Work to be continued
The Forum recommended maintaining a multi-stakeholder dialogue on priorities such as, the follow-up to the on-going pilot project on a fitness check for the food supply chain; the improvement of the European Food Prices Monitoring Tool and further initiatives as the flagship initiatives of the Europe 2020 Strategy.
Important economic role of food sector
The agri-food sector plays a central role in the Union economy, society and environment. It is a complex supply chain, which encompasses agriculture, the food processing industry and related services. Taken as a whole, it generates value added of € 715 billion per year — almost 6 % of the EU Gross Domestic Product. Around 17 million holdings and enterprises (82 % of them agricultural holdings), many of them small, are involved, providing jobs to over 48 million Europeans. The food processing industry is the first manufacturing sector in the EU in terms of value added and employment.
Moreover, the EU is the world's biggest exporter and importer of agricultural and food products, and accounts for about 19 % of total global export flows. However, the EU food sector's competitive leadership is increasingly being challenged by established trade partners (USA, Australia, New Zealand) and by emerging economies (Brazil, China).
The European Commission established the Forum in 20101 (IP/10/1510) to assist the Commission in supporting sustainable competitiveness and growth in the European agro-food supply chain. It provides advice to the Commission in the implementation of its Communication 'A better functioning food supply chain in Europe' (COM(2009) 591).
The Forum comprises 45 members representing a number of Member States, European companies dealing with food production, processing or distribution, professional associations and non-governmental organisations representing citizens' interests. It is chaired by European Commission Vice President Antonio Tajani together with his fellow Commissioners Michel Barnier (Internal Market and Services), Dacian Cioloş (Agriculture and Rural Development) and Tonio Borg (Health and Consumers). Its mandate expires on 31/12/2012.

Columbus, Ohio (March 8, 2011) – An Ohio State University molecular biologist leveraged a supercomputer to help better define the family tree of a group of enzymes that have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases and are important targets for anti-cancer therapies.
Columbus, Ohio (February 28, 2011) - The Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) has signed a collaboration agreement with the Procter & Gamble Company, enabling the two to work together on modeling and simulation projects aimed at accelerating innovation collaboration between industry and academia. The collaboration is the first at the Ohio State University enacted under P&G's master alliance agreement with Ohio colleges and universities.
Columbus, Ohio (February 8, 2011) - Two surgeons from Central Ohio recently traveled to Nicaragua on a humanitarian mission to treat children with serious ear, nose and throat conditions. However, this year they brought along some help in the form of high-tech equipment designed to appeal to a generation that grew up playing video games – not to entertain the children, but to train the local doctors and medical students.
A research group led by Ohio State's Metin Gurcan, Ph.D., has been leveraging Ohio Supercomputer Center resources to develop a computer-assisted diagnosis tool to improve grading of a common cancer.
Columbus, Ohio (January 19, 2011) - Worried about her high fever and severe abdominal pain, a young couple rushed their baby daughter to the emergency department of Nationwide Children's Hospital. Physicians there found a lump in her belly, and, after examining X-rays and blood work, confirmed the parents' worst fear: their 18-month-old little girl had neuroblastoma, a rare pediatric cancer that involves the adrenal glands.

SunnComm Achieves Breakthrough in DVD Protection
SunnComm International, Inc. (OTC: SCMI), the #1 provider in North America of copy management and enhancement technology announced today that it has completed its "proof of concept" in the development of its anticipated DVD copy inhibiting technology. According to Eric Vandewater, SunnComm's chief technology officer, "We expect to begin the internal beta testing of our DVD copy management technology as early as next quarter (Q3/04), and we expect to deliver MediaMaxDVD™ technology to a leading major motion picture distributor for testing in the 'real' world later this year."
The SunnComm MediaMaxDVD technology will include features and enhancements never before found on a commercial DVD in addition to the security components designed to inhibit casual copying. The company will announce these additional features following the completion of Phase I of its patent application process intended to secure the intellectual property rights related to these unique additional features. These enhancements have been designed to create greater entertainment value for the consumer while boosting incremental sales and contributing to higher price points on catalog DVD releases.
SunnComm's president, Peter H. Jacobs adds, "The SunnComm development team, which now spans two continents, is confident that its MediaMaxDVD technology will not only help to protect commercial DVDs from rampant casual copying, but will empower DVD consumers in ways never before conceived by the movie industry – one of most lucrative segments in the entertainment industry. Utilizing MediaMaxDVD, both movie and television content distributors will have a choice in DVD copy management that not only offers a level of security, but also provides consumer-friendly and unique value-added functions and features.
SunnComm International, Inc. currently provides 100% of all copy managed CDs in North America and is currently providing its proprietary MediaMax CD3 technology on some of today's best selling music CDs including a hit album this month that was ranked #1 on Billboard's Top 200. Another major step for SunnComm involves its recent announcement that the EMI Record Group has begun testing MediaMax on specially selected promotional CDs slated for worldwide release. (http://www.tmcnet.com/usubmit/2004/Jun/1049776.htm). The company has previously announced its forecast to copy manage and enhance an estimated ten million commercial and promo CDs in Q3/04 and twenty-five million commercial and promo releases in Q4/04. SunnComm receives a royalty for each CD that utilizes its technology.
DVD to DVD piracy has become a major concern for content providers in the movie industry. Now, most commercial technology available prevents users from making illegal copies of DVDs when they attempt to convert the DVD content to the VHS tape format. Demand for content protection to fight DVD to DVD piracy is accelerating as DVD players and DVD burners become increasingly available and affordable.
The DVD player market is one of the fastest growing in the world. According to Cahners In-Stat/MDR, worldwide DVD player sales will grow from 29 million units in 2002 to an anticipated 69 million units 2005. This is a clear driver of demand for DVD content. The (MPAA) Motion Picture Assn. of America's annual all-media report, which is circulated only to members reported – DVD sales for U.S. companies jumped by 43% to $14.9 billion in 2003. Internationally, DVD sales tallied $5.5 billion (a 53% bounce over the previous year). The MPAA and its international counterpart, the Motion Picture Association (MPA), estimate that the U.S. motion picture industry loses in excess of $3 billion annually in potential worldwide revenue due to piracy.

Google Hires Famed Futurist Ray Kurzweil
Ray Kurzweil, the author and big thinker on artificial intelligence and other topics, announced Friday he's been hired by Google to "work on new projects involving machine learning and language processing."
He says he'll officially be on board at the search giant Monday. A Google spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Kurzweil is best known for his theories about "The Singularity," or the point in the future when technology becomes so advanced that it starts outsmarting humans on its own. Some of the concepts are laid out in a somewhat wacky trailer for his 2010 film "The Singularity is Near," which features Tony Robbins, Alan Dershowitz and Kurzweil himself.
The hiring of Kurzweil builds on existing ties between the author and Google. The Mountain View, Calif., company has partly funded Kurzweil's Singularity University, an academic program launched a few years ago in Silicon Valley to prep students for a tech-heavy future and such concepts as nanotechnology and robotics.
Kurzweil described his new title at Google as Director of Engineering. In the blog post announcing his hiring, he wrote: "In 1999, I said that in about a decade we would see technologies such as self-driving cars and mobile phones that could answer your questions, and people criticized these predictions as unrealistic. Fast forward a decade--Google has demonstrated self-driving cars, and people are indeed asking questions of their Android phones."
He added, "I'm thrilled to be teaming up with Google to work on some of the hardest problems in computer science so we can turn the next decade's 'unrealistic' visions into reality."

We start off your work week with a shocking, disturbing video that proves that American-Sino relations are potentially in the worst state since the Red Scare. We've got people over there on their Great Wall … converting people the Red Sox Nation.
It is to the credit of Chinese authorities that they do not throw this woman off the wall. Though that might just be because of the language barrier.
Soon, that wall will be full of Rays fans, and we will know that the Chinese takeover of Amerika is about to commence.

BOSTON, Mass. - With two second half goals, both of which came in the span of one minute 51 seconds the Owls of Keene State College (5-9-0, 3-2-0 Little East) defeated men's soccer (9-6-1, 2-2-1 Little East) by the final of 3-1 Saturday afternoon at Clark Athletic Center Field in a Little East Conference match.
The two late tallies ended a back-and-forth battle which saw the score deadlocked at 1-1 since the 20th minute of the contest. Netting the lone goal for the Beacons at the 19:13 mark was Roland Barbosa (Fogo, Cape Verde) off of an Edmilson Barros (Boston, Mass.) and Lenir Lima (Mindelo, Cape Verde) assist.
The tally marked the seventh of the year for the junior. For the Owls, all three of their goals were scored on unassisted plays, with the first coming in the eighth minute from Michael Jacques. The final two tallies which secured the win for Keene State came from Matt Langford in the 71st and Yazid Eideh in the 72nd minutes respectively.
Between the goal posts, Mike Ketterman tallied two stops to earn his second win of the 2013 campaign. Alfonso Rosales (Revere, Mass.) tallied eight stops, before Camilo Florez (Manizales, Colombia) closed out the final 15 minutes of play, in which he made three saves of his own.
With playoff implications on the line for both squads, the Beacons knew with a victory they would increase their chances of making the program's first Little East postseason appearance since 2006. Keene State, who has come on strong in the month of October, also knew if they were to walk away with a win they would better their chances for a spot in this year's conference tournament.
Despite the loss, the Beacons still have a chance to earn a spot in the postseason as they now sit fourth overall in the conference standings. The win put the Owls in firm control of third place behind UMass Dartmouth and Eastern Connecticut State University.
Saturday's match, which turned out to a be a heated affair between two hungry squads saw the scoreless draw end when Jacques slid his second goal of 2013 past Rosales in the opening minutes.
Eleven minutes later the three Beacons would connect to tie the score at 1-1, with Barbosa driving home a shot from right outside the top of the goal box to the near post. Unfortunately moments later the heated battle would begin to make an impact as a total of four yellow cards were handed out, with two going to the same UMB player which resulted in a red card ejection. With the red card, the Beacons were forced to play the next 70 minutes down a man. Despite the now 11-on-10 advantage in favor of the Owls, the Beacons continued their pressure throughout the remainder of the first half.
After the break the two teams continued their dance with neither team backing down an inch. Unfortunately Keene State would capitalize on back-to-back plays to push the momentum in their favor. Just like the first the second also saw a pair of cards handed out by the official. Despite the Beacons best efforts the two tallies by the Owls proved too much to overcome.
On the day Keene State held a 27-10 advantage in shots and an 8-1 advantage in corners.
The Beacons return to action on Tuesday when they host Massachusetts Maritime Academy at 3 p.m.

MIDDLEBURY — The Mount Abraham Union High School girls' soccer team pulled out a key win on Saturday, 2-0, over host Middlebury in a hard-fought contest played on Middlebury College's turf field.
The Eagles finished 8-4-2, and the points they earned from the win moved them (unofficially) up to fifth in the D-I standings; a loss could have dropped them to eighth.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury College alumna turned Emmy- and Peabody-award-winning journalist Sarah Kramer returned to her alma mater Oct. 11 to talk about new channels for storytelling, eccentric interview subjects and her job as the multimedia producer for The New York Times.
Her talk, called "Personal Narrative in the Digital Age," was the first this year in the college's Meet the Press series. It drew from Kramer's 15 years as a multimedia journalist.

BRISTOL — A Bristol man who was originally charged with attempted murder in a 2011 shooting incident that apparently revolved around a heroin deal gone bad, has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge and been sentenced to nearly three years in jail.
Dean C. Heffernan, 28, of Bristol was sentenced late last week in U.S. District Court in Rutland to 33 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release.
MIDDLEBURY — Beth Dow went from being a happy dog owner to a volunteer that plays a key role in helping others in the area adopt rescue dogs.
Four years ago, the Middlebury resident and husband Steve — animal lovers who now have two dogs, six cats and two horses at their Route 116 home — were looking to add a dog through petfinder.com, a web site at which many rescue organizations list animals available for adoption.
MIDDLEBURY — East Middlebury residents on Saturday morning will get their first comprehensive look at their new fire station, a 50-foot-by-60-feet building completed within budget and in less than five months.
"This is a very exciting time for the Middlebury Fire Department (MFD)," Lt. Pat Shaw said on Thursday as he opened, with the flick of a switch, the two 14-foot-by14-foot bay doors that will soon accommodate — with plenty of room to spare — the fire apparatus that will continue to protect the East Middlebury community.
FERRISBURGH — After a decade of planning, a $1.7 million grant from the National Science Foundation and a 8,000-mile sea journey from a boat-builder in Washington State to the Basin Harbor Club on Lake Champlain, Middlebury College's new research vessel has finally arrived home.
The R/V David Folger, named for a beloved geology professor who launched the college's marine studies and lake research component of his department's curriculum, was officially dedicated this past Saturday.
ADDISON COUNTY — The local facility that area residents have known as the Addison County Humane Society has undergone a major facility expansion in the last year. With their new building, they have also adopted a new name, Homeward Bound Animal Welfare Center.
MIDDLEBURY — The town of Middlebury and its 38 unionized workers have come to terms on a new, three-year contract that will afford employees annual pay increases of 2 percent but require them to contribute a little more toward their health insurance premiums.

People of the sea: the search for the Philistines
Macmillan, 1992 - History - 276 pages
The Philistines are among the most maligned peoples of ancient history. The Bible characterized them as cunning pagan warmongers, the ancient Egyptians as pirates and marauders. In today's language, a "philistine" is an uncouth, uncultured person. Thanks to the work of Trude Dothan and Moshe Dothan, three thousand years of bad press are at last giving way to a wholly different picture of the Philistines. Through their excavations and other studies, these two eminent archaeologists have unearthed startling answers to some of the great mysteries of biblical history, revealing the Philistines as a highly civilized people. They were advanced artisans and craftsmen, sophisticated architects and ecologically minded town planners. One of the Aegean Sea Peoples who settled on the southern coast of Canaan at the end of the twelfth century B.C., the Philistines entered history as the main adversaries of the Israelites, stigmatized by the wicked Delilah and the arrogant Goliath. While the nature of their written language is still a mystery, the nature of their civilization is not. The remains of monumental buildings, a flourishing olive-oil industry, cast bronze, iron, and ivory artifacts, weaving looms, wine presses, and a wide range of artistically distinctive pottery urge us to make a historical reassessment. In People of the Sea, the world's preeminent authorities on Philistine history and culture provide the first popular account of their ground-breaking work. Handsomely illustrated with line drawings, photographs, and maps, the book interweaves a fascinating history of the rise and fall of the Philistines with the first-person experiences of archaeologists at work. The result is a work thatnot only dramatically changes our understanding of an important and legendary era but also serves to illuminate an ancient civilization long lost to history.

GDT Oilers 5, Avalanche 1 – Game 61 – 2011-02-23 @ 7:30 PM MST – TSN
The Oilers lost a stinker against the Wild last night. The effort was there from some of the team, but I thought that in particular, our defense was completely missing in action. Some of those goals were horrid. I'm all for giving criticism to Khabi when due, but there were a few big brain lapses where a wild player was in alone on him.
Anyways, the Oiler are going to have to give their collective heads a shake and get in this one. Tonight they'll have at least two changes to the lineup:
Brule is in (likely for Omark, by the sounds of it) and Strudwick is in for Chorney. I haven't heard anything, but I would guess that Dubnyk will get the start tonight too.
The Avs sit in 2nd last in the conference, but somewhat surprisingly have 7 more wins than us.. I guess it just goes to show how bad the season has been. The Oilers have one win and one loss (in shootout) versus the Avs. I hope tonight will be another tight game between the two teams.
Prediction: 3-2 Oilers
Hall – Cogliano- Eberle
Penner – Horcoff – Hemsky
Paajarvi – Gagner – Jones
MacIntyre – Fraser – Reddox
Smid – Gilbert
Strudwick – Peckham
Vandermeer – Foster

Wanted rebel Jace Serafino has information that could expose all of Sass's secrets, tear the fragile Alliance apart – and end Sass's career if Kel-Paten discovers them. But the biocybe has something to hide as well, something once thought impossible for his kind to possess: feelings … for Sass. Soon it's clear that their prisoner could bring down everything they once believed was worth dying for – and everything they now have to live for.
My first Linnea Sinclair book and oh my … what a sensational read it was! I was awed. Any words I may have will not come close to describing the magnificence of this tale, so I will keep my comments simple.
Although this story is categorized as "Romance", I'm more inclined to think of it primarily as a space adventure. Think Star Wars/Star Trek and you get the idea. There are lots (and I do mean LOTS) of sci-fi jargon, which can be confounding, but I loved every bit of it. *grin* Hey, what can I say … I'm a Star Wars kind of girl.
The non-stop adventure starts right from the beginning and never lets up. No mean feat, that … as this story is 525 pages long! The plotting is tight and the prose very readable (considering the countless sci-fi terminologies). There are many interesting plot elements which weave together seamlessly and coherently - they all testify to the author's brilliant vision, imagination and writing skills.
There are two love stories here – the primary one between Sass and Branden; the secondary between Eden and Jace.
Sass and Branden are such wonderfully well-developed characters … especially Branden, who is a biocybe (half human, half machine). He isn't supposed to be able to feel emotions, but he somehow does, and he bears an unrequited love for Sass for twelve long years. He melts my heart for many reasons, but the most significant one are his secret love letters to Sass, to be delivered to her upon his death, which he started writing right after their first meeting. I'm not ashamed to admit that I shed some tears over his impossibly simple yet heart-wrenching declaration of love and devotion. Sass is equal parts sassiness, intelligence, inventiveness, bravery, vulnerability and likeability. She is a worthy heroine – worthy of Branden and worthy of this magnificent story. Enough said.
Eden and Jace are less vivid, which is understandable, as they are the secondary (but vital) characters. They play a huge role in bringing this story together. Their love story is at once tender and heartfelt.
Sass and Eden each owns a pet – furzels they are called – that I imagined look somewhat like plump long-haired cats. They are vital characters in this story too – adorable, smart, funny. I want one too. *grin* (I look at my cat Furball, and I think perhaps he can be a pseudo-furzel – his chubbiness certainly qualifies him. LOL)
This is one big thrilling space ride. If you are a Star Wars/Star Trek fan, please, don't miss this.
5 out of 5. I love it. It's phenomenal - in a class by itself. Sensuality: Warm
P. S. When I was halfway into the book, I went out and bought Gabriel's Ghost, which was recommended by Katie(babs). I can't wait to read it.

Due DiligenceI think what they did wrong is cited in the article as a new requirement. They failed to perform Due Diligence on the company they were hiring. It is a legal responsibility to ensure the company being hired to perform a task is following the law - to the best of your ability.
Apparently, they didn't do that.
David B, 30 Jan 2007 @ 8:47am
Re: Due DiligenceI agree 100% with your analysis. Companies are clearly responsible for what the companies they hire to advertise do. Otherwise, we would have ad agencies that would carve their clients names in the heads of homeless people for enough money.
Nasty Old Geezer, 30 Jan 2007 @ 5:43am
AgreedThis is the same basis as Sarbannes-Oxley: you should have known better. Whether you actually knew or not is irrelevant. Guily as charged (IMHO).
Steve R. (profile), 30 Jan 2007 @ 6:15am
A case can be madeI am not a lawyer so what I have to say comes from the lay perspective. It seems to me that many of the discussions concerning the "legality" of marketing/advertising come from the corporate perspective. Company's assert that they have a legal right to get their message out. However, what we are overlooking is the impact of that message on the consumer. The consumer, I believe, has legal right not to be injured or held as a captive audience.
In sending advertising to the consumer the companies are obstructing the ability of the consumer to go about his/her business. I am in the middle of writing a report and an ad pops-up and I have to take time out to eliminate it.
Many of the adware message trespass on your computer and load unauthorized programs. Essential they usurp your private property and turn it into a marketing agent. This is akin to a salesmen believing that he has a right to enter your house without your permission and make a sales pitch at your dinner table while taking the liberty to eat your dinner too.
Three years ago my daughter accidentally hit one of the websites that downloaded a whole bunch of adware, the computer became unusable. It took a couple of days to reinstall the operating system, application programs, and other files. Now, who do I go to get reimbursed for the time and effort it took to fix the computer?????
Finally, if companies do not have the maturity or the ethical standards to be fair to the consumer, then their actions must be constrained through the unpopular action of regulation.
charlie potatoes, 30 Jan 2007 @ 6:24am
what they did wrongi like to think of it as the equivelent of coming to my home and spray painting their name on my walls. what they did was abet the vandalizing of my property.
they didnt spend that kind of money and not realize exactly what was going to be happening. they are as sleezy as the adware company. they deserve whatever punishment they get...
but then, you can't actually fine a company..they simply raise prices to compensate. in essence the consumer pays the fine for them.
haywood, 30 Jan 2007 @ 6:42am
Re: what they did wrongI see it as the equivalent of driving the get-away car in a hold up, or giving a wanted felon a place to hide out. Accomplice after, during and before the fact.
Charlie, 30 Jan 2007 @ 6:53am
Re: what they did wrongIf you fined every company in an industry the simply raising prices would be a valid point, but competition and the market will affect the prices far more than this fine.
Companies usually cannot simply raise prices without seeing a drop in customers. There are a few examples (oil) where this isn't the case, but I have no reason to believe that Cingular and Priceline are in this category. People will move to Sprint, Verizon, etc, or use Hotwire if the prices are inflated.
Celes, 30 Jan 2007 @ 10:17am
Re: Re: what they did wrongI'm not sure about Cingular, but from what I know about Priceline, they earn somewhere around 8% on "name your own price" rooms and 18% on rooms where the price is disclosed and you can choose your hotel. While it's possible that they could raise that percentage, it's unlikely while they face such heavy competition in their industry. Standard commission for any travel agent is usually 10%.
Tommy 2face, 30 Jan 2007 @ 6:58am
They know what they are doingIn a past life we worked with an affiliate who utilized adware for providing product ads to consumers and I will say you know when the company is advertising through adware. We would have 1 call for the product for every 10 calls to get the stuff removed. We dropped the advertiser but its like telemarketing, if it didn't work nobody would do it.
Anonymous Coward, 30 Jan 2007 @ 8:59amIANAL, nor did i read in depth of the article. from what i gether, there are some issues with companies ads being pop-ups, from which no software was directly installed?
here goes. that's wrong. trespass or whatever. if software installs itself w/o the user being notified, nor having a clean uninstall program, that's wrong.
what happens, methinks, is that companies hire ad agencies to do their marketing. from there, those companies outsource different parts, tv, radio, movies, billboards, internte. through this web of 'contractors" someone says, hey hire a spam agency. the orginal company has plausable deniabilty in the situation, and they get any press generated.
now should companies be fined if their ads are adware? only if they are directly linked to the situation. our legal system has shown you aren't responsable for actions out ofyour control, this is no different.
Phil, 30 Jan 2007 @ 9:02am
Fines don't work...We are looking at this from the wrong perspective. Don't fine the companies who participate in the activities, penalize them by disallowing them to advertize - IN ANY FORM - for 90 days at a time.
james, 30 Jan 2007 @ 9:27am
we are alo to blameIf you invite a thief in your home you cannot fully blame the thief. Spyware plays on passiveness. NO ONE including lawyers read the 600 page EULA and on page 450 it says "to bring you this software free we may load software that brings you special offers"
screw reading I want my 10,000,000,000 free smileys. not one of my systems gains spyware because im mindful of the users and what gets installed
lizard, 30 Jan 2007 @ 9:34am
Re: we are alo to blamethey aren't targeting savvy users, they're utilizing the same sort of con-artist tactics (appealing to the greed in all of us -- wanting free stuff for seemingly nothing). the thing about using con-artist tactics against those most likely to fall victim to them, and in the process doing them harm, is it's -- yes, you guessed it, illegal.
the little old lady who gives some stranger at a bus stop her life savings as a 'good faith' payment on some 'found lottery ticket' should know better too, as in "if it seems too good to be true it probably isn't", but it's still illegal to take her money.
Tommy 2face, 30 Jan 2007 @ 9:35am
Re: we are alo to blameI am spying on you right now.
lizard, 30 Jan 2007 @ 9:28amif what they (or the firms they hired to do it) caused harm (adversely affected the computers afflicted with their adware) then that is either illegal, or it should be.
it's not legal to spray paint your ad on someone else's property, it shouldn't be legal to install your software through deceptive means on someone else's computer. i have seen what adware & spyware do to computers, and it's nothing less than vandalism.
which is illegal, last time i checked.
ftt, 30 Jan 2007 @ 10:41ami think placing a high amount of blame on the user is bad. sure, randomly DLing stuff isn't a good idea, but some sites have the active installs. (ooohhhh disable activex and whatnot... come on. i shouldn't have to disable my computer so i can use it.
weebit, 30 Jan 2007 @ 4:45pm
eye openerI have always been for going after the business that permits their hired advertisers to do as they please but advertise for us.
In the past I have even sent emails to the company's that permitted lousy advertising practices online. This even includes scams, and places that are not even given a good report by siteadvisor, etc. I often asked them if they knew the place they were advertising was not in good standards online. Sometimes I would receive a reply, but most of the time I got no reply.
I just think it's time we hold companies accountable for whom they do business with. After all they make it a point to check out their customers, why shouldn't they check out the company they want to do business with too?
The fine I am sure was not high enough. I say stick it to em. After all they don't mind sticking it to the customer.
Jimbo99, 30 Jan 2007 @ 5:16pm
Been Advocating this for a long timeI've written to so many trade journals suggesting this for over a year. It only seems natural that adware only exists due to advertisers using them.
As a person who cleans systems of these malware products it is obvious that a lot of legitimate companies were using these malware producers and to claim that they were ignorant of how their ads were getting out, while hoping you'd believe them, is pure contempt for the average person.
Your computer is an extension of your home. People need to realize this. Violating the sanctity of your home with advertising by self proclaimed ignorants is just wrong.
What these companies have done is to enter your home without your permission and plastered the walls with advertisements because they knew your homes were not secure enough to keep them out or you were not knowledgeable enough about how to keep your home more secure.
Even though the State of NY knew what was happening they should have made the companies funding the malware more responsible and earlier. By their not acting earlier they cost American consumers significantly.
Even the DRM/CRM from Microsoft is a violation of your home and your privacy. No more are they entitled to enter your home to search your computers than the police would be. The police require a warrant issued by a court and signed by a Judge. What Microsoft and these other companies are doing is entering your home and spying on your use of the computer and content without your permission or knowledge by implementing DRM/CRM. The average user does not understand these concepts so it is the equivalent of doing it without permission nor knowledge.
Reporting home to Microsoft's servers or checking your validity every 6 months is a violation of your privacy and most likely the law. Not only that their continued checking after having previously verified you were legit is akin to accusing you of being a thief. Why would you ever allow a company to continue to exist in your home if they every 6 months accused you of stealing from them and asked you every 6 months to prove you were not stealing? I doubt anyone would. So, why would you not equate Microsoft's behavior to real life situations? Not only that they are demanding that you report to them your configuration so they can use that against you if you choose fight them. They'll be using information against you that you allowed them to collect even though you didn't know they were collecting it for that purpose.
Remember this when you hear about those business and home computers that are shut down by Vista's DRM and those cases begin to show up in court. Any company other than a monopoly would be seriously question their behavior but because Microsoft has more money in the bank they figure they can use it to fight anything.
Now, when you consider these things remember this: Microsoft stole the intellectual property (IP) from a company that had developed and patented the concept years before. Not only that the Judge, in his ruling, cited numerous occurrences of misconduct on Microsoft's part based on the facts that stated that Microsoft felt that the owner of the IP had no ability to protect their interests and ignored that company when they were informed that they were violating their IP rights.
The case is pretty clear. Microsoft stole the IP used to keep you from stealing their IP and when caught performed numerous acts of misconduct to cover it up. When caught they were fined additional damages of $25 million.
Do you think they would feel any different about you the individual when it comes to them turning off your computer mistakenly? Certainly they will perceive you to be inconsequential and continue unabated. Any normal non-monopoly would certainly think hard enough about it to not implement it.
SEOG_net, 30 Jan 2007 @ 9:54pm
Advertising Network ChainsOne thing to consider is that not all advertisers know where there ad is showing up. Some of the investigations into the click fraud world demonstrated that ads might be passed along three generations with different people attempting to generate traffic. With affiliate offers and other programs often the source of advertising will not realize the various means by which traffic is being generated, including spyware offers.
In addition, I have been called by this spyware companies many times and the way they sell themselves it is not always clear what they are doing -- until you really dig and investigate further (I'm a marketing manager)
Not saying these particular companies did not realize, but for many people putting out online offers it is not always clear exactly where your offer ends up. The bigger brands have the people and resources to track down where there ads show up but many smaller advertisers could easily be duped by the slick sales people who call them and talk about their "network."
In addition, some ad network will have legitimate traffic and then slip in spyware traffic to boost numbers, making it more difficult to determine the direct source of the visitors.

weebit, 6 Feb 2007 @ 7:36am
no excuseSEOG_net this doesn't excuse them. I am sorry but it doesn't. If your paying a spammer it is up to you to see how you are being advertised. This is why I am all for click ads having a means to track the person advertising for them. We should only have to use this tracker to inform the ones they are advertising for, and the spammers tracking info. The ones they are advertising for should immediately dismiss the spammer due to the complaints. You would think a company would want honest advertisers. After all they work to show your company in a supposedly good spotlight.

adware execsI'm sorry, but I don't see any other solution to the warewar problem except physical harm to adware/spyware execs. The government will do nothing (they could easily charge these low-lifes with planting illegal surveillance devices, but of course, they won't). But what if someone were to open a website where these vermin's pictures, addresses, daily habits etc., were exposed for all to see? And what if this site offered encouragement for the more enraged to find these scum. Since they don't fear the law, they must be made to fear vigilantes and kneecappers for any of this crap to stop.
Or perhaps this solution: apply graphic and animation software to their images, identify them clearly, and create "real" movies of these jerks spitting on the Koran or some such - and make sure Islamic radicals know about it. That way, we'd be rid of scum, and they (the rads) would have somebody to butcher. Now that's a win-win!

text: With ISPConfig is it possible to setup a mailbox that only allows SMTP only and forwards incoming mail externally? Currently running 184.108.40.206 (soon to upgrade to 184.108.40.206) We have clients that want to: 1. Have their domain email ([email protected]) forwarded into their gmail ([email protected]) 2. Use authenticated SMTP via our ISPConfig mail server, to send outgoing mail The reason for '2' is because when sending mail via gmail smtp, Google adds a "on behalf of" message to outgoing mails from other domains. So the clients wish to use our SMTP server. I tried to acheive this by setting the following; A) Add Mailbox in ISPConfig with "Send copy to" set to gmail address This works, copies incoming mail to gmail, allows user to use SMTP for outgoing mail. BUT - the INBOX on our ISPConfig mail server fills up with their unread mail, as they read mail on gmail. Solution? B) Use Remote API to set 'disabledeliver' = 'y', this has no effect so no use. (also setting 'disablesmtp' = 'y' has no effect) C) Use Remote API to set 'postfix' = 'n', this stops both incoming and outgoing mail, so no use. Is there another suggestion or approach we can take to meet the requirements of SMTP mailbox only, with mail delivered into a gmail mailbox, and no unread mail pilled up in the local INBOX? If there is absolutely no way of acheiving this in ISPConfig, then as a last resort we would have to implement option (A) above, and write some sort of script that empties the INBOX's of these types of mailboxes we setup, with "copy to" gmail mailboxes. This at least would allow users to use our SMTP, have mail delivered into the Gmail, and now have our mail server fill up with unread mail that will "Never" be checked. Thanks
