Build id: 220.127.116.11-IFix-20130131-1239
You can also consult logs, but I personally find IBM has made this harder with IBM Installation Manages products
Check for the presence of the files \IBM\Installation Manager\installed.xml and \IBM\Installation Manager\installRegistry.xml in the working directory.
The default working directory is %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\IBM\MQSI where %ALLUSERSPROFILE% is the environment variable that defines the system working directory. The default directory depends on the operating system:
- On Windows XP and Windows Server 2003: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\IBM\MQSI
- On Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, Windows 7: C:\ProgramData\IBM\MQSI
- Note: You will need to have show hidden-files set
The actual value might be different on your computer; use %ALLUSERSPROFILE% to ensure that you access the correct location.
|installRegistry.xml >> Look for a stanza like the one below…Not clear in IBM docs how to do this, but a good start
|<version value='22.214.171.12430131-1239' repoInfo='Name=C:\downloads\wmb8_installs\WMBTK_ifix_002\MB8001_800102\repository.config,Type=Dir,Version=0.0.0.1,Path=C:\downloads\wmb8_installs\WMBTK_ifix_002\MB8001_800102,Opened=true'>

Box Score - Game 1
Box Score - Game 2
WORCESTER, Mass. - The MIT softball team split a pair of games in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) softball doubleheader at Clark University on Friday. The Cougars (18-10, 8-6 NEWMAC) won the opener, 13-0, in five innings but the Engineers (6-22, 2-12 NEWMAC) captured the nightcap, 5-2.
Clark kicked off the day by scoring three runs in the first inning and erupted for seven more in the third. The Cougars capitalized on two MIT errors and got RBI hits from Heather Warren, Chelsea Proulx, Lauren Blake, and Julie Parnell in the seven-run frame. The offense continued with three runs in the fourth on Darcy Kurashige-Elliott's eighth homerun of the season and a two-run single by Blake.
Melissa Traft tossed five innings of one-hit ball with three strikeouts to pick up the win. Parnell and Warren led Clark's attack, with Parnell tallying three hits and two RBI as Warren notched two hits and drove in three runs. Blake also contributed three RBI.
MIT's Lara Kostun broke up the no-hit bid with a single in the third inning. Jessica Oleinik surrendered 13 hits and struck out three in the circle.
In the second game, Lily Keung led off with a single and then stole second. Following a sacrifice bunt by Chelsea Ostrander that put Keung on third, she scored on Oleinik's fielder's choice.
Clark captured the lead with a pair of runs in the third inning. Parnell singled up the middle and later scored from third on Traft's hit to centerfield. Traft put the Cougars ahead by scoring on an error in leftfield.
The Engineers immediately responded with two runs in their next at-bats. Aubrey Tatarowicz doubled to leftfield and advanced to third when Holly Jeffrey reached on a fielder's choice. Kaitlyn McCartney cleared the bases with a single to centerfield to give MIT a 3-2 edge.
Clark threatened to take the lead in the bottom of the fifth with the bases loaded and one out. Undaunted, Leah Bogsted registered back-to-back strikeouts to get out of the jam.
MIT picked up a pair of insurance runs in the top of the seventh. Keung dropped a bunt and Ostrander reached on an error at third base. Oleinik moved the runners up with a sacrifice bunt before Keri Dixon sent a blast to right center to set up the final score.
Keung went 2-for-4 for the Engineers as Dixon and McCartney each registered a hit and two RBI. Bogsted tallied her fifth win of the season while striking out eight.

My votes:
Shouma Takakura: Because it's funny, have a big heart and it's one of the characters with the most growth during the series. He comes in terms with his weakness and manage to fight destiny despites that.
Kanba Takakura: The Badass of the Takakura siblings, his courage during the entire run of the series and his tough guy attitude makes for a good bunch of awesome scenes.
Himari Takakura: While not as awesome as Kanba or conlficted as Shouma this little lady has a very courageous and selfless heart, it's very endearing to see her withstand all the harsships only thinking about pay back her brothers for all the happiness they give her.
Ringo Oginome: WOW! ...just WOW! easily my favourite character of the show, she's a completely ordinary high-school studen but despite that she's absolutely BADASS! has incredible developement growing a really big heart and also have the endearing courage to face life even when the universe itself seems to flat out hate her. She's not always successful in her attempts but the fact that she just don't gives up and always try her hardest until the very last breath really impressed me. She will be one of my favourite characters of all anime from now on.
And that's all, the rest of the cast, while also unique and awesome in their own ways, don't reached up to me as much as those four. Meybe because the story revolves clearly around those four. If i must choose someone from the supporting cast that will be Momoka/Princess of Crystal xD

Penguins are an easy vote, along with the Princess of the Crystal as part of the comedy that really defined penguindrum.
I also pick Shouma and Ringo; a great couple with a story that really packs a strong punch to it.

I'm sure my favorites will shock no one - I voted for Kanba and Himari. XD
Kanba's been my favorite character and the person I could relate to best from the beginning. He's definitely taken a spot as one of my all time favorite anime characters. And I love him with Himari, so she ended up becoming one of my favorites throughout the series too. (Plus, she's just so cute.)
Edit: Oh man, I didn't notice the penguins on there! I would have tossed #1 a vote.

Voted for Shouma, Ringo, and Penguin 2. I meant to vote for Esmeralda too but when I tried clicking her on my iPod, it clicked vote instead.
Ringo is by far the best developed character of the series. She went from a character that thought about love for herself to truly loving others.
Shouma I feel is more a missed opportunity. I am not saying he didn't grow but as it comes almost at the very end it doesn't work for me. Still I couldn't help relating to Shouma, as I feel I have the same passive issues he does. And I loved the moments when he was not passive and his heart really shone through (saving Ringo from drowning, the car, Himari from the child broiler)
And Penguin 2 was IMO the funniest of the penguins with Esmeralda being the most fabulous.
Although I didnt vote for her I have to give honorable mention to Himari. I really thought she would just be a plot device but in the last half of the series she really came into her own taking an active role trying to get through to Kanba & Shouma.
Overall (and this was true for me with Utena too). I tend to think Ikuhara develops his female characters better than his male ones.
Edit: Oops looks like my vote for Esmeralda went into other!

Everyone knows I love Ringo to unhealthy degrees , so Ringo it is.
Watching her go from this selfish brat who only cared about her needs, to a lovely young woman that was willing to sacrifice her life for her loved ones, was fascinating.
Then again, I'm one of those who loved her even when she was a crazy bitch, so I'm biased

I did add Masako to my vote, because I thought her development was outstanding. The feeling of 'I didn't care for her so much before, but she's so damn awesome now!!' happened with a few characters in the series, but it was definitely the strongest with Masako. Then I went with Esmeralda as well for some epic kyuhuhu and #1 molesting.
Finally, I added PotC as well... partly because the seizon senryaku scenes were always such a blast, but also due to episode 12, which is definitely among my favorite Penguindrum episodes. The key scene with Kanba's scorpion soul had an incredible impact and made me realize that I was just hooked by this point.
As I've already said though, the whole Penguindrum cast was amazing and I could have voted for about anyone (I suppose I would just have left out Tabuki and Sanetoshi, which doesn't mean they weren't interesting in their own ways).

I still maintain that the series climaxed with Tabuki's kidnapping, and so he gets my top vote. Yuri is up there because it gives a measuring stick to compare Tabuki's actions to compare against, and this made that episode have that much more impact.
Apart from that, it was Himari and The Princess of the Crystal (Momoka) who advanced the story. I liked Himari because a lot of the drama and tension revolved around her, while Momoka I loved because she is the altruistic person in this series, and 'true good' types are so rare nowadays.

I picked Kanba and Ringo, probably the two best-developed anime characters of the entire year.
For sheer likability, Ringo is my favorite of the series.
But Kanba is very memorable, and I particularly liked him after he became more antagonistic, actually.
It was too tight between the two characters for me to pick just one, so I picked both. The entire cast was very strong though. However, with these sorts of polls, I try to limit myself to 3 or fewer choices.

@Archon Wing :
I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes his voice. Even though it's kind of annoying when he yells or raises his voice, his normal soft voice (like when he talks to Masako in Episode 11 or when he coaxes Ringo towards the teddy in Episode 23) totally make me melt. :P
On to the topic : My votes go to Kanba, Ringo, Masako, Princess of the Crystal and Penguin #1 & #2
Kanba : I just love him. He has such strong passions which totally fascinate me. And I love his I'll-get-the-job done mindset. Watching him never bores me.
Ringo : I put her on par with Kanba. Her passion is just about as strong as his, nobody can stop her from what she tries to do. One more thing to add is that she has surprisingly good nature which is only revealed after 9 episodes past. This revelation is almost unexpected judging from how she behave at first and I think a lot of people, including me, have come to like her for this nice surprise.
Masako : Ah.. I tend to like strong characters. She runs the large corporation by herself and despite those problem about her brothers, she is still able to stay sane and strong for them. At first I shipped her with Kanba but too bad Ikuhara thinks it's a good idea to troll the audience then reveal later that they are...... hmph..
The Princess of the Crystal : Seizon Senryaku, period. Er..actually not just that, I like her bossy characteristic as well as her interactions with Kanba. I even shipped this couple for a while too. Moreover : that dress.
Penguin #1  : I think #1 is the coolest of all penguins. He's the most useful one and almost the funniest, second only to #2. He also reflects his owner the best. For #2, the thing I like about him most is his voice. Not only his 'kyu' but all of his cries. They make me smile every single time. His funniest scene for me is when he dived into the water seemingly trying to help Ringo then he just snatched the fish and headed back up. Haha, I still laugh at this scene till today.
(Sorry if my grammar is off. Usually I tried harder since English is not my mother tongue but I'm so sleepy now )

President Obama's choice of the relatively unknown Cuban American poet Richard Blanco to read at his inauguration later this month caught many people in poetry circles by surprise.
Blanco, 44, will be the first Latino poet, and the first openly gay man given the honor of reading at a presidential inauguration. And his choice is a reflection of the great shifts in American poetry circles and U.S. culture at large.
"I think it's an inspired choice," said David St. John, a poet and professor at USC. Though Blanco is well-known in poetry circles for his award-winning first collection of poetry and recently published his third book, "Looking for the Gulf Motel," he's "not an establishment poet," as former California poet laureate Carol Muske-Dukes put it.
"It's a choice that's not only important for the gay and lesbian and Latino communities," St. John said, "but also for poets who work to give voice to people outside the mainstream of popular culture."

In 1951, the Court began working in the Prinz-Max-Palais. This building, which was constructed in the 1880s, is located in the city centre of Karlsruhe, near the square that today is called Europaplatz. It was named after Prince Max of Baden, who lived there between 1900 and 1918. Prince Max of Baden was successor to the throne of Baden and the last Imperial Chancellor of the German Empire.
The Prinz-Max-Palais soon proved to be too small. As early as in 1959, Gebhard Müller, the Federal Constitutional Court's President of the time, expressed the wish for a new building. In 1965, construction work for the complex at Karlsruhe's Schlossbezirk, or palace district, began. It is situated on the site of the court theatre, which was destroyed during World War II, between the palace square and the botanical garden. The complex was constructed by Berlin architect Paul Baumgarten. By its open structure, he intended to express democratic transparency and to distinguish the building from the 19th-century style palaces of justice. The Federal Constitutional Court moved into the new complex in the spring of 1969. Construction costs amounted to almost 20 million DM.
The "Baumgarten Building"
The "Baumgarten building" consists of five pavilions. They are connected by a straight passageway which is more than 70 metres long:
- The tallest building is the courtroom building. This is where the Court's transparency becomes particularly apparent. Glass walls provide insights into the courtroom with its federal eagle, a wooden sculpture by Hans Kindermann that weighs several tonnes. The ground floor of the courtroom building houses a large entrance hall as well as the plenary room. A reception room and the press room are situated on the mezzanine floor.
- The adjacent Justices' building is also named "Justices' Circle" due to its layout. It "floats" above ground on steel pillars. The offices and deliberation room of the First Senate are located on the first floor while those of the Second Senate are located on the second floor.
- The other side of the passageway, facing the botanical Garden, has the library building. The extensive holdings of the Federal Constitutional Court's library are stored in two subterranean storeys. The ground floor accommodates the library offices, a reading room, and an exhibition on the Court's early years in the Prinz-Max-Palais.
- The buildings which are situated near the Palace house the Court's administration and some of the Justices' judicial clerks.
- The building situated near the Staatliche Kunsthalle today houses further office space, a meeting room and a lounge. Until 1995, this pavilion served as a cafeteria, with a public restaurant and a terrace facing the Botanical Garden.
Since 1982, the Federal Constitutional Court has rented additional office space in the north-western wing of the Castle. These offices are connected to the Court by a subterranean passageway.
Discover the Federal Constitutional Court on a virtual tour of the building designed by the architect Paul Baumgarten.
Extension Building
Most of the judicial clerks are accommodated in the modern extension building that was designed by Berlin architect Michael Schrölkamp and completed in 2007. This is a three-storey building with a greened façade facing the Botanischer Garten, which is connected to the "Baumgarten building" via a glass passageway.
Renovation of the "Baumgarten Building"
Between 2011 and 2014, the "Baumgarten building" was fully renovated, the costs amounting to around EUR 55 million. The preservation and modernisation of the building, which is a listed monument, required extensive construction measures, such as an energy-related overhaul, a comprehensive renovation of the building's technical installations, as well as improvements to the fire protection system. During this time, the members of the Court and part of the staff moved into the so-called "Waldstadt offices" in the converted former General-Kammhuber barracks.
Here you will find a gallery with images of the building complex in the Karlsruhe Schlossbezirk.

Comparing Internet providers?
Here's your guide to the perfect fit.
Internet providers aren't one-size-fits-all. To get started, consider these factors:
Answers to these questions can determine the type of Internet service you need – and which provider fits best.
Most cities have several Internet options. Among them you will see Internet companies that connect on different types of networks:
Each option carries advantages and disadvantages. Broadband heft, consistency, network strength, and speed of your Internet access determine which means of delivery will be most useful for you.
InternetProviders.com can help.
Learning these terms can help you as you start your search for ISPs.
It's always on – This high-speed Internet service includes cable, DSL, and fiber optics
It's wired – Copper-wired broadband Internet delivered on a network built for television
It's on the line – Delivered on a public-switched telephone network with conventional lines
It's Digital Subscriber Line – DSL delivers Internet service on existing two-wire copper telephone lines
It's fast as light – Transmits digital signal through pulses of light on optical fiber line
Internet from outer space – Signals bounce between a dish at home and satellites in space and at provider's office
Internet companies vary from city to city.
Enter your zip code below to explore Internet options where you live.
It's not as simple as picking the best price and the fastest speed
Ask yourself these questions before you buy:
Some Internet providers require you to sign a contract.
Is there 24/7 tech support available, if you need it?
The price you initially pay might be introductory, and will rise when that period ends.
Discover which providers have the best reputation for reliability. Also, research conditions in which certain Internet platforms suffer (such as inclement weather or high-traffic hours).
Download refers to what you take from the Internet, such as movies and music. Upload refers to what you post to the Internet, such as videos and photos.
Common add-ons include wireless routers, Wi-Fi network access and anti-virus protection.
Internet access isn't the only service providers offer
Choose one Internet provider for Internet, home phone and TV. It comes on one bill, usually at a discounted price.
Internet providers often include incentives, such as:
Check the fine print.
Yes. Check out our compare page to see how various internet service providers stack up. Be sure to consider the factors that are most important to you, such as customer care, terms of service and bundling options.

Telstra has signed a $90 million National Broadband Network (NBN) contract with Visionstream to provision services for the network.
Visionstream, a wholly owned subsidiary of Leighton Contractors, will carry out remediation on Telstra's pit and pipe infrastructure in Victoria and Tasmania. Remediation work will include repairing and restoring infrastructure to ensure it is ready for fibre installation for the NBN.
The three-year contract is worth up to $210 million with two options for yearly renewals.
The contract is expected to begin in the coming days.
Telstra and Visionstream previously signed a $120 million contract in August last year for Visionstream to build and maintain Telstra's national Wideband and Dedicated Digital Network under a contract renewal.
Visionstream is also responsible for rolling out the NBN in Victoria and Queensland for work which includes designs, physical visits to the sites of pit and pipe infrastructure and rolling out the passive network in a contract worth around $102 million.
Visionstream was also involved with building the first stage of the transit network, comprising transit links connecting to fibre access nodes, including points of interconnect, in a $19 million contract.
In March this year the company signed a four-year, $300 million construction and maintenance contract with NBN Co for the NBN rollout in Tasmania, with Visionstream replacing existing copper lines with fibre optic cables to roll out fibre to 190,000 homes in the state.

Snoring affects many of people during their sleep. Often, people do not even realize they are snoring. Let?s turn on the lights and see where the snoring is coming from.
Snoring occurs when the airway become partially blocked, forcing the lungs to inhale harder to compensate for the lack of air entering the body.
The snoring sound results from the vibration of these two structures, the soft palate and the uvula.
Several factors contribute to snoring, including excessive alcohol intake, nasal congestion, obesity, and enlarged tonsils and adenoids
Snoring by itself is not necessarily dangerous, but some snorers have such severe airflow blockage that it prevents them from getting quality sleep. This condition, called sleep apnea, is common but dangerous if left untreated.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) There's a first time for everything and Sunday's trip to New England will be a first for many of the Indianapolis Colts.
``It's funny because I had a show of hands of how many guys in the locker room that this was their first trip to Foxborough,'' interim head coach Bruce Arians said. ``Way too many.''
Arians said nearly half of the players in the locker room raised their hands.
Of course, this season has been full of new things - a new quarterback, a new coach, a new general manager, a new image on the field.
Now the Colts (6-3) will try to do something for the first time since 2009 when they go on the road to face the Patriots (6-3) - string five wins together.
``This game is, it's enriched in its own way, with the competitors on the field and the grand stage that it's on, both teams 6-3,'' defensive end Cory Redding. ``At the end of the day, somebody's got to come out 7-3 and it's going to be a nice challenge for us to go in there and do what we do.''
Indy went 16-3 back in 2009 and won 14 straight before resting their starters the last two games of the regular season and then losing to the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl. After last year's debacle, the theme for the Colts this year has been ``in the hunt,'' with the playoffs on everyone's mind.
``It will be huge for us, but it's just another game,'' Arians said of the Patriots. ``We've got a bunch of them left and we want to stay in the hunt.''
The Colts passed the test last week when they beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-10 in their first prime-time game on Thursday. They have some challenges this week.
Colts cornerback Darius Butler will have his hands full with receiver Wes Welker, but the two have spent a lot of time together and know all about each other.
``We actually work out offseason at the same place, so we're definitely familiar with each other as far as athletic ability,'' Butler said. ``It'll be a great matchup. He's one of the best receivers in the game, obviously one of the most productive in the past few years in this league.''
The unexpected and quick turnaround of the Colts team from last year isn't just surprising fans, either.
``I'm definitely impressed,'' Welker said. ``Obviously, you would figure it would be a rebuilding type deal for the Colts and it's not that way at all. They're playing some really good ball with a lot of young players and then they have some veterans too who really kind of step up for them in crunch time.''
With everything being as new as it is for this Indy team, Arians just doesn't want people to get caught up in watching Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
After all, it is the Brady of the Peyton Manning-Brady rivalry years.
``I know as a younger quarterback, you always tried to watch that game just because the two were sort of a benchmark for the position guys,'' Colts quarterback Andrew Luck said. ``So I remember some of the playoff games, some of the late games, I think when Gillette still had grass, it was always muddy, late in the year. So, great games and great franchises.''

George H.W. Bush discharged from Houston hospital
Former President George H.W. Bush was released from a Houston hospital Friday, two weeks after being admitted for observation because of a persistent cough.
Doctors determined he had a mild case of pneumonia which has been treated and resolved.

Spokesman Jim McGrath said last week that with the Bushes expected to return to Maine soon, doctors wanted him to remain at the hospital to ensure a clean bill of health.
Bush expressed his gratitude for the doctors and nurses who cared for him.
In January, Bush was hospitalized for two weeks for treatment of pneumonia.

The fifth of six scheduled tax clinics, sponsored by Memphis City Council member Lee Harris and the law firm of Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson LLP, will be held Oct. 13.
The clinic, to be held at the Ed Rice Frayser Community Center at 2907 N. Watkins St., will last from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Its goal is to help property owners better understand the tax process and to work with delinquent taxpayers to develop a plan to pay their taxes.
Since these tax clinics began in March, Linebarger has successfully helped 120 taxpayers, with most placed on a payment plan designed to keep their property from being forced into a tax sale.
Anyone planning to attend the clinic should bring a tax bill, a recent letter from the Linebarger firm, or their account number. Calling 260-4058 ahead of time will reserve a seat as well as allow the law firm's staff to research the account prior to the clinic.
One more clinic after this month's is scheduled for this year. It will be held Nov. 10 at the Orange Mound Community Center, 2572 Park Ave.

U.S. wholesalers increased their stockpiles in August and their sales rose for the first time in four months. The gains could provide a boost to the still-weak economy.
The Commerce Department said Wednesday that wholesale stockpiles grew 0.5 percent in August after a 0.6 percent increase in July.
Sales at the wholesale level jumped 0.9 percent in August, ending three months of declines. The sales increase was the biggest one-month gain since February.
Total wholesale inventories stood at $487.5 billion. That's 26.9 percent higher than the post-recession low hit in September 2009.
It would take about five weeks to exhaust the level of stockpiles at the August sales pace. Steven Wood, chief economist at Insight Economics, said the level remains fairly lean, even after the modest increase in inventories over the summer when sales slipped.
Companies typically boost their stockpiles when they anticipate sales will rise in coming months. Faster restocking helps drive economic growth. When businesses order more goods, it generally leads to more factory production.
Growth has slowed this year, in part because high unemployment and low pay increases have kept U.S. consumers from spending more freely. Weaker global growth has also dampened demand for U.S. exports.
Many economists believe the U.S. economy grew over the summer at a 2 percent annual rate. That would be only a slight improvement from the tepid 1.3 percent annual growth rate in the April-June quarter.
A stronger job market could help boost growth in the final three months of the year. When more people find jobs, consumer spending typically increases. Consumer spending accounts for nearly 70 percent of economic activity.

To report an emergency in progress, call 911.
Local government is close to the people it serves, and it works best when you become involved at the local level. One of the best ways to do this is to learn about your local Municipal Advisory Council. A MAC is a great way to learn about local projects and events. It's also a good place to address and resolve local issues of concern.
Municipal Advisory Councils meet regularly in many areas of unincorporated Placer County to discuss local land use, law enforcement and other community issues, and to make recommendations to the Board of Supervisors and other County agencies.
Not all areas in the county lie within a MAC's boundaries. If you live in an area without a MAC, please work directly with your District Supervisor, and the Board staff, to resolve problems and address concerns. (Of course, even if you live in an area with a MAC, you're welcome to contact your District Supervisor directly.)
You are always welcome to attend MAC meetings, to learn what's happening in your community and to give your views to the MAC and, through them, to the Board.
You may speak on any item NOT on the Board's or the Commission's agenda during the Public Comment portion of their meetings, which occur within the first few minutes of each meeting. You may also comment on many other items of business on the agenda.
Write, fax, e-mail, visit or phone your Supervisor to provide information and learn what's happening.

With injured Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger watching from the sideline in sweats Sunday, backup Byron Leftwich started against the Ravens, his first start since 2009.
Leftwich hit the ground running — literally — on his first drive, running for a 31-yard touchdown to give the Steelers an early 7-0 lead. But he struggled through the air, completing 18 of 39 attempts for 201 yards and one interception as the Ravens beat the Steelers, 13-10, at Heinz Field.
Leftwich got a chance to lead the Steelers on a late scoring drive in the game's final possession, but he missed an open David Gilreath on third down and completed a short pass to Gilreath short of the first-down marker on fourth down.
On his stunning touchdown scramble, Leftwich rolled out of the pocket to his right to evade Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs, who continued to chase Leftwich down the sideline after the quarterback decided to tuck and run. Leftwich barreled through an arm tackle by Ravens safety Bernard Pollard, somehow staying in bounds before lumbering into the end zone.
The 31-yard run, which took 12 seconds off the clock, had the Heinz Field crowd in a frenzy.
But Leftwich did not have much success throwing the ball in the first half, as he completed just five of his 17 attempts for 85 yards. With Leftwich bouncing passes off the grass, the Steelers converted just one of seven third-down plays in the half. He didn't fare much better in the second half, completing 11 of his 22 throws for 116 yards, but couldn't get the Steelers into the end zone.
With the Ravens leading, 10-7, early in the third quarter, Leftwich moved the Steelers across midfield with a 37-yard pass to wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders. Three plays later, Ravens cornerback Corey Graham, who was beat on the long gain by Sanders, picked off Leftwich's pass and returned it to the Baltimore 38-yard line. The Ravens turned the interception into three points.
On Pittsburgh's next drive, Leftwich steered the Steelers 80 yards on 12 plays to set up a field goal. But on their next two possessions, they advanced into Ravens territory but could not sustain drives once they got there. Overall, the Steelers were 5-for-16 on third down.
The strong-armed quarterback struggled with his accuracy on intermediate throws in particular, though he stood tall in the pocket and showed his toughness by staying in the game after several hard hits, including a sack by Ravens safety James Ihedigbo on a late third-down play.
His favorite target was Sanders, who replaced the injured Antonio Brown in the starting lineup. Their chemistry from working on the second team together in practice for most of the season carried over to Sunday's game, and Sanders led the Steelers with three catches for 82 yards.
Sunday's game was Leftwich's first start as a member of the Steelers. The 32-year-old has lost seven straight starts dating back to 2006, his last season with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Ravens are now 5-0 against the Steelers when Roethlisberger has been sidelined due to an injury or suspension. But it's still unclear if they will get a chance to make it 6-0 two weeks from now when they host the Steelers at M&T; Bank Stadium. The Steelers haven't revealed when Roethlisberger, who has a sprained shoulder and dislocated rib, will return to the playing field.

5 Stress-Free Jobs We'd Love to Have [PHOTOS]
We all have on-the-job stress — but a new report that lists the 10 most stressful jobs indicates some occupations are decidedly more worrisome. Others? Well, not so much.
The top five in the 2012 CareerCast.com Job Stress Report shouldn't come as any surprise. Three of them — soldiers, military generals and police officers — sometimes involve being shot at, which would ruin anyone's day. And the other two, airline pilots and firefighters, are routinely responsible for keeping other people alive.
But not all of us earn paychecks by having the weight of the world on our shoulders. Here are some jobs we think would actually lower our stress levels.

Four Rams Make All-Region Team; One Gold Glove Award
Mt. Pleasant, MI - Four baseball players at Farmingdale State were named to the 2008 New York Region ABCA/Rawlings All-Region Team and one player received the 2008 ABCA/Rawlings Gold Glove Award in a release posted on Monday, May 19th.
Sophomore designated hitter Mike Labrozzi (Sag Harbor, N.Y./Pierson) was named to the Second Team after hitting .393 for the season (4th in the Skyline) and posting a .616 slugging percentage (3rd in Skyline). He led the team with 11 triples, four doubles and two homeruns, while knocking in a second best 31 RBI's.
Junior shortstop Brian Benvenuto (Dix Hills, N.Y./Hills West) was also named to the Second Team after batting .390 for the season (5th in the Skyline) and starting all 42 of his games played. In his team-high 136 at-bats, he led the team with 53 hits and 32 RBI's. Benvenuto will be playing this summer for the Tar Heels Baseball League.
Sophomore closer Billy Garofalo (Patchogue, N.Y./Patchogue) and junior right-hander Tom Heeman (Valley Stream, N.Y./Hewlett) were both named to the Third Team.
Garofalo finished with a team-leading earned run average of 1.88 and finished with seven saves, ranking him 16th in the Nation. In 28.2 innings pitched, he struck out 27 batters and held batters to a .214 average.
Heeman finished with a 2.07 ERA and a team-high six wins (6-4 record overall). In 69.2 innings, he struck out 59 batters and walked only seven. He is ranked 8th in the Nation for Walks allowed per nine innings (0.9) and 33rd in the Nation for ERA.
Sophomore catcher Zak Nersesian (Nyack, N.Y./Nyack) was awarded the Gold Glove Award for the New York Region. He finished the year with 159 putouts, 20 assists and 2 errors for a .989 fielding percentage.

These action movie-worthy scenes are just part of the daily grind for Professor Alon Wolf, the director of biorobotics and biomechanics at Israel's Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, a world leader in technology research.
So what was the man, who last year rubbed shoulders with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Barack Obama at an Israeli technology showcase, doing in front of an auditorium full of middle schoolers at Abrams Hebrew Academy on Jan. 10?
He came to herald the start of a virtual science program specially created by Technion education experts for students at the Jewish day school in Yardley.
Although this will be the Technion's first foray into partnering with an American day school, Abrams has been connecting with Israeli professors for the past several years. In 2011, Abrams became the first U.S. school to participate in Math by Mail, an online enrichment program developed by the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel. The school also uses webcams to conduct "virtual" field trips to historic sites in Israel, host guest speakers from all over the world and, most recently, join Israeli students for a Tu B'Shevat seder.
Abrams will pay $140,000 for three years of the science curriculum, which includes semester-long units on energy, chemistry and a third that has yet to be determined. Seventh and eighth graders will download pre-recorded video lectures, quizzes and homework assignments onto school-issued iPads. Teachers in the classroom will monitor the lessons, answer questions and lead accompanying lab experiments.
In addition to introducing the pilot program, Wolf's lecture was also aimed at getting students excited about science. He had their undivided attention as he narrated a slideshow exhibiting the latest Israeli advances in biorobotics and then demonstrated a robotic snake developed by Technion experts that is used by Israel Defense Forces' search and rescue units.
With a camera at its head, the snake crawls through tight spaces, such as a collapsed building, to give rescuers outside a better idea of what they'll be facing.
The curriculum, which was officially launched this week, corresponds with the hiring this past summer of science teacher Amy Hamacher in a bid to both revamp and stabilize Abrams' science department.
In recent years, Abrams has witnessed a revolving door of part-time science teachers to the extent that seventh and eighth grade honors science classes were being taught via video conferencing by teachers from Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy and Kohelet Yeshiva High School. Students said they even began likening the science teacher position to the Professor of the Dark Arts in the Harry Potter novels. The Dark Arts post is rumored to be cursed since every teacher who takes it on is either fired, killed or runs away.
But Hamacher said she intends to buck the trend and stick around for quite some time to re-ignite students' interest in science.
"Science as a whole has taken on a new energy at Abrams, and the Technion collaborative will serve as an exclamation point," said Hamacher, who has been working closely with the Israeli institute to develop the program.
While students appeared riveted by Wolf's lecture, their opinions varied about the new program. Seventh-grader Ben Doshna, 12, from Flemington, N.J., worried about not having an actual teacher leading the lessons, but did confess excitement at the prospect of having a different science regimen.
Fellow seventh-grader Rikki Feldelum, also 12, from Lower Merion, said that it might take some getting used to, but "it could be better."
The adults in the school were more assured in their optimism about trying something new.
"I believe in my heart that this is one of the most significant things I have done at Abrams Hebrew Academy," Abrams director Rabbi Ira Budow said as he introduced Wolf to the students.
Partnerships like this afford students the opportunity to gain a new perspective on Israel, said Budow, who leads an eighth-grade trip to Israel each year and has long advocated for a strong connection between his students and Israel.
"Israel is not only about guns and Torah, but a place of tremendous thinkers."
Hamacher echoed his sentiments, saying that she hoped the program will "encourage students to become the next generation of scientists and engineers."
Noting that the Technion often brings in foreign exchange students, Wolf challenged the Abrams students to study hard, reach high and maybe one day come work with him in Israel. He even invited the students to visit his lab when they go on their class trip to Israel in late March.
Based on the large group of students that rushed to shake his hand at the end of the lecture, he should not be surprised if they do come knocking on his door this spring.

This article presents information about the variety of tools available to assist you in troubleshooting your voice network, including information on using router diagnostic commands, Cisco network management tools, and third-party troubleshooting tools.
Using Router Diagnostic Commands
Cisco routers provide numerous integrated commands to assist you in monitoring and troubleshooting your internetwork.
- show commands help you monitor installation behavior and normal network behavior, and isolate problem areas.
- debug commands help you isolate protocol and configuration problems.
- ping commands help you determine connectivity between devices on your network.
- trace commands provide a method of determining the route by which packets reach their destination.
Using show Commands
show commands are powerful monitoring and troubleshooting tools. You can use show commands to perform a variety of functions:
- Monitor router behavior during initial installation.
- Monitor normal network operation.
- Isolate problem interfaces, nodes, media, or applications.
- Determine when a network is congested.
- Determine the status of servers, clients, or other neighbors.
The following are some of the most common show commands:
- show version-Displays the configuration of the system hardware, the software version, the names and sources of configuration files, and the boot images.
- show running-config-Displays the router configuration currently running.
- show startup-config-Displays the router configuration stored in NVRAM.
- show interfaces-Displays statistics for all interfaces configured on the router or access server. The resulting output varies, depending on the network for which an interface has been configured.
- show controllers-Displays statistics for interface card controllers.
- show flash-Displays the layout and contents of flash memory.
- show buffers-Displays statistics for the buffer pools on the router.
- show memory summary-Displays memory pool statistics and summary information about the activities of the system memory allocator, and gives a block-by-block listing of memory use.
- show process cpu-Displays information about the active processes on the router.
- show stacks-Displays information about the stack utilization of processes and interrupt routines, and the reason for the last system reboot.
- show cdp neighbors-Provides reachability information for directly connected Cisco devices. This is an extremely useful tool for determining the operational status of the physical and data link layers. Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is a proprietary data link layer protocol.
- show debugging-Displays information about the type of debugging that is enabled for your router.
You can always use the ? at the command line for a list of subcommands.
Like the debug commands, some of the show commands listed are accessible only at the router's privileged EXEC mode. Debug command usage is explained further in Using debug Commands and also in the Debug Command Output on Cisco IOS Voice Gateways article.
Hundreds of other show commands are available. For details on using and interpreting the output of specific show commands, refer to the Cisco IOS command references.
Using debug Commands
The debug privileged EXEC commands can provide a wealth of information about the traffic seen (or not seen) on an interface, error messages generated by nodes on the network, protocol-specific diagnostic packets, and other useful troubleshooting data.
The following steps are a summary of debug command usage. For detailed debug command usage, see the Debug Command Output on Cisco IOS Voice Gateways article.
To access and list the privileged EXEC commands, enter this code:
Router> enable Password: XXXXXX Router# ?
Note the change in the router prompts here. The # prompt (instead of the normal > prompt) indicates that the router is in privileged EXEC mode (enable mode).
Use debug commands to isolate problems, not to monitor normal network operation. Because the high processor overhead of debug commands can disrupt router operation, you should use them only when you are looking for specific types of traffic or problems, and have narrowed your problems to a likely subset of causes.
Output formats vary with each debug command. Some generate a single line of output per packet, and others generate multiple lines of output per packet. Some generate large amounts of output, and others generate only occasional output. Some generate lines of text, and others generate information in field format.
To minimize the negative impact of using debug commands, follow this procedure:
- Use the no logging console global configuration command on your router. This command disables all logging to the console terminal.
- Telnet to a router port and enter the enable EXEC command. The enable EXEC command places the router in the privileged EXEC mode. After entering the enable password, you receive a prompt that consists of the router name with a # symbol.
- Use the terminal monitor command to copy debug command output and system error messages to your current terminal display.
By redirecting output to your current terminal display, you can view debug command output remotely, without being connected through the console port.
If you use debug commands at the console port, character-by-character processor interrupts are generated, maximizing the processor load already caused by the use of debug.
If you intend to keep the output of the debug command, spool the output to a file. The procedure for setting up such a debug output file is described in the Debug Command Output on Cisco IOS Voice Gateways article.
This book refers to specific debug commands that are useful when you are troubleshooting specific problems. Complete details regarding the function and output debug commands are provided in the Cisco IOS Debug Command Reference.
In many situations, using third-party diagnostic tools can be more useful and less intrusive than using debug commands. For more information, see the Third-Party Troubleshooting Tools.
Using the ping Commands
To check host reachability and network connectivity, use the ping command, which can be invoked from both user EXEC mode and privileged EXEC mode. After you log in to the router or access server, the router is automatically in user EXEC command mode. The EXEC commands available at the user level are a subset of those available at the privileged level. In general, the user EXEC commands enable you to connect to remote devices, change terminal settings on a temporary basis, perform basic tests, and list system information. The ping command can be used to confirm basic network connectivity on a variety of networks.
For IP, the ping command sends Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo messages. ICMP is the Internet protocol that reports errors and provides information relevant to IP packet addressing. If a station receives an ICMP Echo message, it sends an ICMP echo reply message back to the source.
The extended command mode of the ping command permits you to specify the supported IP header options. This mode allows the router to perform a more extensive range of test options. To enter ping extended command mode, enter yes at the extended commands prompt of the ping command.
It is a good idea to use the ping command when the network is functioning properly to see how the command works under normal conditions, so that you have a basis for comparison when you are troubleshooting.
For detailed information on using the ping and extended ping commands, refer to the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference.
Using the trace Commands
The trace user EXEC command discovers the routes that a router's packets follow when traveling to their destinations. The trace privileged EXEC command permits the supported IP header options to be specified, allowing the router to perform a more extensive range of test options.
The trace command works by using the error message generated by routers when a datagram exceeds its time-to-live (TTL) value. First, probe datagrams are sent with a TTL value of 1. This value causes the first router to discard the probe datagrams and send back "time exceeded" error messages. The trace command then sends several probes and displays the round-trip time for each. After every third probe, the TTL is increased by 1.
Each outgoing packet can result in one of two error messages. A "time exceeded" error message indicates that an intermediate router has seen and discarded the probe. A "port unreachable" error message indicates that the destination node has received the probe and discarded it because it could not deliver the packet to an application. If the timer goes off before a response comes in, trace prints an asterisk (*).
The tracecommand terminates when the destination responds, when the maximum TTL is exceeded, or when you interrupt the trace with the escape sequence.
As with ping, it is a good idea to use the trace command when the network is functioning properly to see how the command works under normal conditions, so that you have a basis for comparison when you are troubleshooting.
For detailed information on using the trace and extended trace commands, refer to the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference.
Using Cisco Network Management Tools
Cisco offers the CiscoWorks family of management products that provide design, monitoring, and troubleshooting tools to help you manage your internetwork.
The following tools are useful for troubleshooting internetwork problems:
- CiscoView provides dynamic monitoring and troubleshooting functions, including a graphical display of Cisco devices, statistics, and comprehensive configuration information.
- Internetwork Performance Monitor (IPM) empowers network engineers to proactively troubleshoot network response times utilizing real-time and historical reports.
CiscoView graphical management features provide dynamic status, statistics, and comprehensive configuration information for Cisco internetworking products (switches, routers, hubs, concentrators, and access servers). CiscoView aids network management by displaying a physical view of Cisco devices and color-coding device ports for at-a-glance port status, allowing you to quickly grasp essential information. Features include the following:
- Graphical displays of Cisco products from a central location, giving network managers a complete view of Cisco products. You do not need to physically check devices at remote sites.
- A continuously updated physical view of routers, hubs, switches, or access servers in a network, regardless of physical location.
- Updated real-time monitoring and tracking of key information relating to device performance, traffic, and usage, with metrics such as utilization percentage, frames sent and received, errors, and a variety of other device-specific indicators.
- The capability to modify configurations such as trap, IP route, VLAN, and bridge configurations.
Internetwork Performance Monitor
The Internetwork Performance Monitor (IPM) is a network management application that enables you to monitor the performance of multiprotocol networks. IPM measures the response time and availability of IP networks on a hop-by-hop (router-to-router) basis. It also measures response time between routers and the mainframe in Systems Network Architecture (SNA) networks.
Use IPM to perform the following tasks:
- Troubleshoot problems by checking the network latency between devices.
- Send Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps and SNA alerts when a user-configured threshold is exceeded, when a connection is lost and reestablished, or when a timeout occurs.
- Analyze potential problems before they occur by accumulating statistics, which are used for modeling future network topologies.
- Monitor response time between two network endpoints.
The IPM product is composed of three parts: the IPM server, the IPM client application, and the response time reporter (RTR) feature of the Cisco IOS software.
Third-Party Troubleshooting Tools
In many situations, third-party diagnostic tools can be more useful than commands that are integrated into the router. For example, enabling a processor-intensive debug command can be extremely detrimental in an environment experiencing excessively high traffic levels. Attaching a network analyzer to the suspect network is less intrusive and is more likely to yield useful information without interrupting the operation of the router. The following are some typical third-party troubleshooting tools used for troubleshooting internetworks:
- Volt-ohm meters, digital multimeters, and cable testers are useful for testing the physical connectivity of your cable plant.
- Time domain reflectometers (TDRs) and optical time domain reflectometers (OTDRs) are devices that assist in the location of cable breaks, impedance mismatches, and other physical cable plant problems.
- Breakout boxes, fox boxes, bit error rate testers (BERTs), and block error rate testers (BLERTs) are useful for troubleshooting problems in peripheral interfaces.
- Network monitors provide an accurate picture of network activity over a period of time by continuously tracking packets crossing a network.
- Network analyzers such as sniffers decode problems at all seven OSI layers. The problems can be identified automatically in real-time and categorized by how critical they are, providing a clear view of network activity.
Volt-Ohm Meters, Digital Multimeters, and Cable Testers
Volt-ohm meters and digital multimeters are at the lower end of the spectrum of cable-testing tools. These devices measure parameters such as AC and DC voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, and cable continuity. They are used to check physical connectivity.
Cable testers (scanners) also enable you to check physical connectivity. Cable testers are available for shielded twisted-pair (STP), unshielded twisted-pair (UTP), 10BASE-T, and coaxial and twinax cables. A given cable tester might be capable of performing any of the following functions:
- Test and report on cable conditions, including near-end crosstalk (NEXT), attenuation, and noise
- Use TDR and perform traffic monitoring and wire map functions
- Display MAC-layer information about LAN traffic, provide statistics such as network utilization and packet error rates, and perform limited protocol testing (for example, TCP/IP tests such as ping)
Similar testing equipment is available for fiber-optic cable. Because of the relatively high cost of this cable and its installation, fiber-optic cable should be tested both before installation (on-the-reel testing) and after installation. Continuity testing of the fiber requires either a visible light source or a reflectometer. Light sources capable of providing light at the three predominant wavelengths-850 nanometers (nm), 1300 nm, and 1550 nm-are used with power meters that can measure the same wavelengths and test attenuation and return loss in the fiber.
TDRs and OTDRs
At the top end of the cable testing spectrum are time domain reflectometers (TDRs). These devices can quickly locate open and short circuits, crimps, kinks, sharp bends, impedance mismatches, and other defects in metallic cables.
A TDR works by bouncing a signal off the end of the cable. Opens, shorts, and other problems reflect the signal back at different amplitudes, depending on the problem. A TDR measures how much time it takes for the signal to reflect and calculates the distance to a fault in the cable. TDRs can be used to measure the length of a cable, and some TDRs can also calculate the propagation rate based on a configured cable length.
Fiber-optic measurement is performed by an optical TDR (OTDR). OTDRs can accurately measure the length of the fiber, locate cable breaks, measure the fiber attenuation, and measure splice or connector losses. An OTDR can be used to take the signature of a particular installation, noting attenuation and splice losses. This baseline measurement can then be compared with future signatures when a problem in the system is suspected.
Breakout Boxes, Fox Boxes, BERTs and BLERTs
Breakout boxes, fox boxes, and bit/block error rate testers (BERTs/BLERTs) are digital interface testing tools used to measure the digital signals present at PCs, printers, modems, the channel service unit/data service unit (CSU/DSU), and other peripheral interfaces. These devices can monitor data line conditions, analyze and trap data, and diagnose problems common to data communication systems. Traffic from data terminal equipment (DTE) through data communications equipment (DCE) can be examined to help isolate problems, identify bit patterns, and ensure that the proper cabling has been installed. These devices cannot test media signals such as Ethernet, Token Ring, or FDDI.
Network Monitors
Network monitors continuously track packets crossing a network, providing an accurate picture of network activity at any moment, or a historical record of network activity over a period of time. They do not decode the contents of frames. Monitors are useful for baselining, in which the activity on a network is sampled over a period of time to establish a normal performance profile.
Monitors collect information such as packet sizes, the number of packets, error packets, overall usage of a connection, the number of hosts and their MAC addresses, and details about communications between hosts and other devices. This data can be used to create profiles of LAN traffic and to assist in locating traffic overloads, planning for network expansion, detecting intruders, establishing baseline performance, and distributing traffic more efficiently.
Network Analyzers
A network analyzer (also called a protocol analyzer or "sniffer") decodes the various protocol layers in a recorded frame and presents the frames as readable abbreviations or summaries. The analyzer indicates which layer is involved (physical, data link, and so forth) and what function each byte or byte content serves.
Most network analyzers can perform many of the following functions:
- Filter traffic that meets certain criteria so that, for example, all traffic to and from a particular device can be captured
- Time-stamp captured data
- Present protocol layers in an easily readable form
- Generate frames and send them onto the network
- Incorporate an "expert" system in which the analyzer uses a set of rules, combined with information about the network configuration and operation, to diagnose and solve, or offer potential solutions for network problems

As alternative sentencing gains in popularity, many will wonder just how this form of "punishment" enlightens offenders. Instead of sticking people in jail to think about what they have done—usually devising better ways to be criminals—literature and support groups can help offenders realize how their decisions affect those around them.
Characters and stories in literature can impact how an individual processes information. A well written novel correlating to an offender's specific crime can create more of a positive impact on the offender's mind, compared to being locked up. How can literature be so inspiring to those who read it?
1. Caring about what happens
Well written novels can develop characters that readers can connect with on an emotional level. These connections can stir emotions as tribulations unfold within the novels causing readers to care about what happens to the characters.
Connecting with literary characters can lead offenders to emotionally bond with the stories. Understanding the characters' decisions can help offenders begin to understand why circumstances happen and how to deal with them in ways other than breaking the law.
2. Analyzing the affects of actions
If offenders can discover how their actions affect the world around them, it could lead to enlightening realizations of how their actions hurt those involved.
The imagination is a powerful tool. It can create objects of wonder or items of destruction. Using their imaginations could help them realize the damage they have wrought with their actions. By helping offenders analyze their circumstances in relation to literature, there is a good chance that they will have an epiphany about their own experiences and how their surroundings were affected.
3. Getting support
One of the most important aspects of alternative sentencing through literature is the presence of supportive individuals who help offenders discuss the nature of each chosen novel.
Most of the support groups using alternative sentencing methods consist of visits by parole officers and the judges who sentenced the offenders. This could be a vital piece of the puzzle—it shows the offenders that there are those that care about whether they succeed or not.
Whether it is the Bible or a coveted novel, the stories and characters in books can reveal a lot about who you are. This isn't saying that books can cure all criminal intentions, but they can go a long way in helping some offenders see how their actions can lead to a ripple effect in the pond of life.
Jack Meyers is a regular contributor for www.nannybackgroundcheck.com. As a detective he wants to spread the knowledge of the terrible things that can happen when people don't fully verify the credentials of a caregiver or any employee. He also writes for various law enforcement blogs and sites.
