News Release
Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and Indiana Business Organizations Announce Second Annual Indiana Money Smart Weeksm, October 13-20, 2007
Chicago, IL - The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, along with 80 partner organizations, announced today the second annual Indiana Money Smart Weeksm will be October 13-20, 2007.
During the week, dozens of free educational events will take place at various times and locations around the state. All will provide consumers with education on personal finance and money management. The classes will be on a variety of topics and will be carried out by members of the Indiana Money Smart Advisory Council (MAC).
"The MAC members have shown great enthusiasm for this statewide personal finance initiative," said Doug Tillett, vice president of the Chicago Fed's Public Affairs Department. "With their commitment and hard work, we look forward to another successful week."
Many of the classes are tailored to the needs of underserved populations such as youths, the elderly and immigrants. Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson is leading a group of prominent local officials in support of the effort.
"Money Smart Week's community-based efforts enable us to work together to promote financial literacy in Indianapolis and our surrounding communities," said Peterson. "It is especially important to reach out to young people to help shape their financial planning habits at an early age and set the stage for future success."
Money Smart Week will also include the Money Smart Inquisitive Kid Contest, a competition for Indiana elementary students to design a poster showing why it is important to keep feeding the piggy bank. The winner will receive a savings bond and his or her teacher will receive a financial literacy curriculum.
For more information, please visit www.moneysmartweek.org/indiana or call the Money Smart Week Hotline 1-877-MNY-SMRT (1-877-669-7678).
The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago promotes financial education by helping coordinate Money Smart Weeks in Indiana as well as Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa.
Money Smart Week is an unregistered service mark of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.

The Dolores School District and the recently hired Blythe Group, out of Grand Junction, are ready to get down to business.
Following the passage of the school bond in November and securing the BEST grant, the school district and the newly hired architects have a lot of work to do.
On Tuesday, Feb. 12, they will get down to business when the district hosts a design charrette.
The all-day charrette will begin at 8 a.m. in the high school library. From 8 a.m. to noon, the architects will meet with staff, students and the design committee to discuss what the new design of the school will look like, specifically the addition to the elementary school, the new science/vocational education classrooms and the locker room redesign.
From 1 to 3 p.m. the architects will discuss stainability and energy efficiency. From 4 to 6 p.m. the general public is invited to discuss the project with the architects at 7 p.m., the board is expected to give an overview of the project to the school board in the board room behind the district office.
During the entire process, Superintendent Scott Cooper said the students will be heard.
"We will also have students come through at times, so we can hear the voices of the students," he said. "This is a big gathering of information. This new architect firm is bringing forward some fresh ideas that we should consider."
Construction on the $5.9 million project is expected to start this summer.
"I'm really excited to hear from the community, the staff and the teachers and parents," Cooper said.
Cooper added that members of the community can stop by during the day-time sessions as well at the high school library.
Also Tuesday, the Dolores School Board of Education will meet at 7 p.m. to discuss educator effectiveness, a school resource officer, drop out prevention, intervention support programs, social promotion within the middle school. At press time, the agenda was not finalized and is subject to changes.

Stephen Colbert Creates Royalty-Free Alternative To Happy Birthday For Happy Birthday's Happy Birthday
from the got-that? dept
A year or so ago, the folks at the Free Music Archive and WFMU asked people to create a new royalty-free song to add to the countless variations that restaurants have come up with over the years to avoid paying Warner. Not surprisingly, the "winner" of that contest has yet to catch on.
However, last week was technically the 90th anniversary of the song's "publication" date (from which the copyright claim comes, despite the song itself existing for decades prior). In response to this, Stephen Colbert did what Stephen Colbert does best, and mocked the ridiculous copyright situation by demonstrating that he was unable to "sing Happy Birthday for Happy Birthday's Happy Birthday." Instead, he decided to perform a new alternative, which he declares to be royalty-free for anyone to use, and basing it on the (public domain) melody of the American national anthem, The Star Spangled Banner (apologies ahead of time for those in various locations that Comedy Central geoblocks and who can't see this video -- I wish they didn't, but they do):

MIDDLEBURY, Vt. – MIT's mens tennis season came to a close on Saturday as the Engineers fell to the Bowdoin Polar Bears in the second round of the NCAA regional tournament. Bowdoin advanced to the NCAA Regional Finals with a 5-0 win over M.I.T. at Middlebury College.
Bowdoin jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead behind three doubles wins, two of them convincingly. The #1 doubles match was tight, with Stephen Sullivan and Oscar Pena edging Matt Skalak and Ken VanTilburg in a tiebreaker, 9-8 (4). Larry Pang and Curtis Wu fell 8-2 at second doubles and Robert Wheeler and Andrew Cooper fell 8-4 to Kent Winingham and Casey Grindor at the third spot.
The Polar Bears took a 4-0 advantage when Sullivan was able to defeat Edwin Zhang, 6-1, 6-3 at #1 singles. Bowdoin sealed the match at #4, when Pena topped Larry Pang, 6-4, 6-2 to put the Polar Bears in the Regional Final.
M.I.T.'s Matt Skalak took the first set at #6 singles 7-5 over Michael Power, but Bowdoin was up a set in the other three unfinished singles matches.
The Polar bears (13-6) will take on the winner of the Middlebury/Stevens match on Sunday at 12:00 p.m. MIT finishes the season with a 14-5 record and a NEWMAC regular season and conference tournament championship.

Common Blue
Wings are bright blue. Females have black wing edges. Undersides pale blue with small black spots which distinguish them from Common Blue.
The Holly Blue is easily identified in early spring, as it emerges well before other blue butterflies. It tends to fly high around bushes and trees, whereas other grassland blues usually stay near ground level. It is much the commonest blue found in parks and gardens where it congregates around Holly (in spring) and Ivy (in late summer).
The Holly Blue is widespread, but undergoes large fluctuations in numbers from year to year. It has expanded northwards in recent years and has colonised parts of midland and northern England.
Size and Family
- Family: Blues
- Size: Small
- Wing Span Range (male to female): 35mm
Conservation Status
- Butterfly Conservation priority: Low
- European status: Not threatened
- Fully Protected under the Northern Ireland 1985 Wildlife Order
Caterpillar Foodplants
The larvae feed predominantly on the flower buds, berries and terminal leaves of Holly (Ilex aquifolium) in the spring generation, and Ivy (Hedera helix) in the summer generation. The spring generation can complete larval development entirely on leaves of male Holly bushes, although female bushes are preferred. They also use a wide range of other wild and garden plants including Spindle (Euonymus europaeus), dogwoods (Cornus spp.), snowberries (Symphoricarpos spp), gorses (Ulex spp.), and Bramble (Rubus fruticosus).
A common garden visitor, also seen in parks, churchyards, hedgerows and woodland rides.
- Countries: England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales
- Widespread in England and Wales, rarer in Ireland
- Distribution Trend Since 1970's = +36%

Guys, I'm totally lost on this one... could someone help?
I have to move smoothly an object from one side of my 3d room to another, every time a single key is pressed. I declare a global variable with the initial x position of it, and then render it:
Code :glPushMatrix(); glTranslatef(positionObject, 1, -6); object->Render(); glPopMatrix();
So I guess that, for the smooth movement, I'll need a timer that shows the object position several times per second, right? I'm doing it like this (not the proper way to do it, I'm aware):
Code :void Timer(int value) { if (positionObject == -1.5) { while (positionObject <= -2.3) positionObject += -0.1; } else { while (positionObject != -1.5) positionObject -= -0.1; } glutPostRedisplay(); glutTimerFunc(33, Timer, 1); }
And my final doubt is: what do I call in my keyboard callback function for it to work?
Code :void KeyboardCallback(unsigned char key, int x, int y){ switch (key) { case 'r': case 'R': //do sth; break;
Any help will be appreciated.

The trails are groomed, the engines are running, and the members of the Route 11 Streakers Snowmobile Club are ready to ride. With all of the snow that we have had lately, the Streakers are happy to hit the trails and enjoy a day on their machines.
Patti Ranslow, the secretary of the club, reports that most of the trails are open, but urges everyone to be careful of trails that cross open water, stay on marked trails, and get your 2013 snowmobile registrations ASAP. Also, keep to your right and respect oncoming sleds as well as sleds following behind you.
B Loop is open for the 15-mile loop in Newfield that goes along the Little Ossipee River to the Nature Conservancy and back by Abbott and Picket mountains.
The J trail by Knox Mountain is open to the scenic outlook, but watch out for thin ice as you cross water.
A trail that used to run all the way from the Waterboro line through Limerick and Newfield to the New Hampshire border is temporarily closed, due to reported misuse of a portion of that trail that passes through private property.
Many local businesses welcome snowmobilers, as they have benefited in the past from snowmobiling patrons who buy food and fuel. Snowmobilers ride for many miles and welcome the various little stops and stores to rest and "fuel up."
It is also important to respect the trail signs and stay on marked club trails. Riding is a privilege, not a right; please be respectful and safe and enjoy the outdoors.
The club's monthly meeting will be held on Saturday, Jan. 19, at Gene Gerry's Snowmobile Shop at 586 Elm Street in Limerick at 4 p.m. Bring your ideas for fundraisers.

On Thursday, Jan. 3, my old red van was put to rest.
She was a very serviceable van, and I liked her very much, but the time had come; she was just too tired to go on any longer. So I parked her next to the house, where she will still be close, during the transition. For the winter, I will temporarily use her as a storage shed on wheels. In the spring, I will be able to move her around the yard to do my spring clean-up, but eventually, I will have to say farewell. She was a "good old gal" that will be missed, but some of her parts may live on for another 5 to 10 years or more in another Chevy Venture.
I have always kept my vehicles for a long time, getting as much mileage as I could out of them. So, saying good-bye to a vehicle that can no longer go on, to me, is more like saying good-bye to an old friend — a friend that has taken you safely through the sun, sleet, rain and snow, to the safety of your home, or desired destination.
I've only owned 10 vehicles in my entire lifetime, so you can see why I'm attached. However, as I close this chapter with my good old friend, I'd just like to add that we had some fond memories together, and I'll always cherish those.

Pies, pies, pies! Who doesn't love a nice slice of pie? My grandfather always loved pie, and I'm not even sure if he had a favorite. My grandmother made wonderful pies, and I think that they both enjoyed a slice of pie with at least one of their daily meals. So, going through my "Pies" cookbook, I found a classic pie that has stood the test of time, the ever popular Custard Pie. This classic pie should be served as fresh as possible for the best flavor and texture. Baking the pastry shell blind ensures that the finished pie has a crisp base.
Custard Pie
Pie dough (if you prefer, purchase a pie crust)
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons of superfine sugar (granulated)
4 ounces butter, cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon water
3 eggs
1/2 cup superfine sugar (granulated)
2/3 cup light cream
2/3 cup milk
freshly ground nutmeg
whipped cream topping (optional)
For pie dough: place the flour and sugar in a mixing bowl. Rub in the butter with the fingertips until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs. Add the water and mix together until a soft dough has formed. Wrap the dough and let chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Roll out the dough to a circle slightly larger than a 9 1/2 inch loose bottom tart pan.
Line the pan with the dough, trimming off the edge. Prick the base all over with a fork and let chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line the pastry shell with parchment paper and fill with dried beans. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove the paper and beans and bake the pastry shell for an additional 15 minutes.
To make the filling, whisk the eggs, sugar, cream, milk and nutmeg together. Pour the filling into the prepared pastry shell.
Return the pie to the oven and cook for an additional 25-30 minutes or until the filling is just set. When cooled, serve with whipped cream if desired.

The criminalization of condoms in major cities across the U.S. is preventing sex workers from carrying them, undermining million-dollar public health efforts, endangering sex workers and contributing to the HIV epidemic. This is the conclusion of an important study presented Tuesday, July 24, at the XIX International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2012) in Washington, DC.
HIV continues to be a major public health risk in the United States, where more than 1 million people are living with the virus and 1 in 5 don't know their status. According to lead study author Megan McLemore, JD, of the Health and Human Rights Division of Human Rights Watch, those numbers rise dramatically and disproportionately when looking at high-risk populations, especially sex workers and transgender persons.
Criminalization of condoms has begun to exacerbate the problem, McLemore explained.
Condoms are a proven method of preventing HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and in many cities across the U.S., access to free condoms is a major tenet of public health efforts. However, law enforcement officials have begun using the possession of condoms as evidence in criminal proceedings against sex workers, ultimately discouraging these individuals from carrying and using protection.
"This is prompting sex workers to ask: How can you be handing us a condom on the one hand, and then putting us in jail on the other?" McLemore said.
For the study, McLemore and her Human Rights Watch colleagues interviewed more than 300 individuals in four cities that were consistently reporting the use of condoms as evidence of prostitution: New York, Los Angeles, Washington, DC and San Francisco. The group consisted of 197 current and former sex workers and more than 110 outreach workers, advocates, lawyers, public health officials and police officers.
In all four cities, the survey results showed, the suspicion of prostitution prompted law enforcement officials to stop and search individuals for condoms.
In three cities—New York, Los Angeles and Washington, DC—officials arrested sex workers, relying on condom possession as probable cause.
In three cities—New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco—officials used condom possession as evidence to prosecute.
According to the study, there are two reasons why this is both a human rights problem and a public health issue.
First, it promotes a fear of arrest—especially for transgender women—that deters them from protecting themselves against HIV.
Second, criminalizing condom use promotes misinformation. Transgender sex workers repeatedly asked the Human Research Watch researchers how many condoms were considered legal to carry. When told that it is legal to carry as many as they chose, McLemore said they were shocked, proving that even one condom-related arrest can have a devastating effect on safer sex efforts.
The study outlined key recommendations for better practices and protection of human rights. The recommendations are also highlighted in a Human Rights Watch report called "Sex Workers at Risk," which is available online.
First, police departments and district attorneys in all four cities should stop using the possession of condoms as evidence to arrest, question or detain anyone suspected of sex work or to support criminal proceedings of prostitution. These offices should also improve police training on HIV prevention and underscore the important of condoms for HIV and STI prevention as well as for sexual and reproductive health.
Next, the legislatures of New York, California and the District of Columbia should enact legislation that prohibits the use of condoms as evidence, and reform or repeal vague laws that prohibit loitering for purposes of prostitution. These laws, McLemore explained, afford a too-broad range of power to law enforcement officials and invite profiling of minorities and transgender women.
Finally, the Human Rights Watch is asking that all agencies recognize that human rights abuses—notably interfering with HIV prevention efforts—pose significant barriers to reducing HIV among high-risk groups, that agencies ensure the inclusion of sex workers and transgender women in working groups, that they call upon states to prohibit the use of condoms as evidence of prostitution and that they investigate the police abuse of sex workers and transgender persons

A Fabulous DIY Range Hood
When Christie at Just Beachy wanted to improve the appearance of her standard under-cabinet range hood cover, she took matters into her own hands. As a result of her DIY ingenuity, she now has a lovely chimney-style range hood cover (without giving up any cabinet space!). See how she did it after the jump:
By building a new surround over the standard metal range hood, Christie achieved the look of a big, fancy chimney-style cover. However, there are still cabinets above the hood. They're just angled out to create the shape of the hood! With a light blue paint color that sets it apart from the rest of the cabinetry, this looks like a full range hood that reaches all the way to the ceiling!

Polan Produces Triple-Double in Loss
Despite four individual double-digit kill performances and a triple-double from Kendall Polan, the Yale women's volleyball team dropped a 3-2 (15-25, 25-23, 21-25, 25-21,15-8) decision at Albany on Saturday night. Polan tallied 34 assists, 17 kills and 10 digs for the Bulldogs, who lost in Albany after defeating the Great Danes last night in New Haven.
Katie Cordell, Polan, Erica Reetz each had 17 kills, and Haley Wessels added 13 in the loss for Yale, which will begin Ivy League on Friday at Brown. The Bulldogs, now 6-5 on the season, won the first set 25-15 and later took a 2-1 lead into the fourth before dropping the final two sets.
In the fifth set, Albany produced a .400 team hitting percentage and won 15-8. Casey Wright (5 solo blocks) and Gabby Whitworth had 14 kills apiece for Albany, which improved to 9-5 on the season.
The Bulldogs hit .284 for the match, including .472 in the third set, but struggled to an .045 percentage in the deciding fifth game. Kerry Clavadetscher added 30 assists for Yale.
Cordell added 23 digs, while Kelly Ozurovich (16 kills) and Reetz (12 kills) also stood out on the defense end for Yale, who played its final non-conference match of the season.
Yale plays at Brown on Friday. The match is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. in Providence.

How is the journey going to start? This is a question that have made me think, because there could be so many varieties of how the story can start. Usually in fantasy novels the main character is usually a country boy/girl or a city boy/girl, and this is something that I have been thinking about how to address. I wanted to create something unique. I wanted him to be a city boy, but not an ordinary city boy, I wanted him to have grown up there, but for some reason he had to leave and live in the country, and then rediscover the city. But how could I do this in a natural way?
The idea I will be using is that the first transaction from city to country life happened before the setting off the book, but that we will discover in the story through the character how this transpired. That when he was young he left the city (for some reason) and that he then lived for some years at a farm, until he decide that he once again want to get back to the city.
My question is then; Why does he want to get back to the country and the city hes originally from?

Can someone please tell me how to create subdomains to ispconfig!!!!
If the subdomain shall have its own directory, then add a new website and type the subdomain name in the domain field. If the subdomain shall point to an existing site, then add it by creating a new subdomain record in ispconfig instead.
Btw, this has been explained here several times in the forum and it is described in the manual as well.
I search but didnt find anything! thanks!!!
i added it as domain with subdomain value ....
sub.domain.gr i added dns too but dont work ..... ....
Changes in dns may take up to 24 hours to propagate to all dns caching servers.
Separate names with a comma.

Dave McKane is observant.
As a photographer, he looks for things other people sometimes miss.
Dave McKane is observant.
As a photographer, he looks for things other people sometimes miss.
And his two exhibits at Carnegie Center for the Arts have demonstrated that visual curiosity.
McKane, a native of Ireland who spent a year in Hutchinson as an exchange student in 1978, has been photographing the abandoned houses of Kansas for several years.
"I felt I had to record these fascinating buildings before it was too late," McKane said.
His exhibit, "Ghost House of the Prairies," showed at Carnegie in 2011.
McKane chronicles another fleeting subject in his current exhibit," "Blue Moments." the show features images captured at the moment between day and night that occurs every evening about 30 minutes after sunset.
"This process is not about taking a lot of photographs and hoping one turns out, it's about setting up then waiting then capturing the moment," McKane said at a reception for members of Carnegie Tuesday evening.
Much of McKane's work, including the abandoned house series, is presented in black and white.
"But for these moments, you need color," McKane said.
McKane describes his passion for the visual power of the transition from day to night as "a love affair — and those always start at night time."
He also points out that scenes in cities, which may not be very attractive during the day, take on a special beauty at that moment.
"Some people call it the blue hour, but it's actually about ten minutes. And you have a longer moment here in Kansas," he said.
The moment, when it's no longer day but not yet night, is missed by most people as they hurry from one commitment to another.
McKane will even stop alongside the highway to catch the moment.
"Kind people will stop to ask if I'm okay," he said.
McKane gets the shot by being at the right place at the right time.
And in the process, McKane says you become an expert on lots of unexpected topics.
For example, McKane discovered that a tower in Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, often cited as the first open shopping mall in the world, is a half-scale recreation of the Giralda tower in Seville, Spain. He has photographs of both structures in his show.
McKane's exhibit will be at Carnegie through the end of the year.
Carnegie will be closed today through Tuesday for Christmas, then open regular hours until Dec. 29.
Those hours are noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.
For more information, call Carnegie at 225-6388.

let the beach go and focus your efforts on improving the place instead of maintaining it. if you're going to ask for something this complicated why not ask for a floating dock or low pier running east perpendicular to the wind.
It could start on the northeast corner of the golf coarse and extend to the channel blocking the wind at water level and making that whole area a buttery flat water paradise.
make the structure wide enough to launch from and we won't need the beach anymore.
a few derelict barges should do the trick. or better yet, some kind of heavy but flexible floating structure that rode the tide up and down but still deadened the chop. complex and ambitious? sure, but probably less effort than fighting erosion long term.
you could get a sponsor to pay for it all and call it "Aunt Jemima Land". Problem solved. You're welcome.

Thinking Volleyball goes beyond the Xs and Os and skill instruction by offering in-match strategy and insights from legendary coach Mike Hebert. It encourages coaches to challenge conventional wisdom to arrive at creative solutions and innovative methods for getting the most out of their teams.

Mike Hebert began coaching in 1976. During his career, he coached the University of Pittsburgh men's and women's teams, the University of New Mexico women's team, the University of Illinois women's team, and the University of Minnesota women's team. In 35 years of coaching, Mike earned a career record of 952-392 and led teams to the Division I Final Four on five occasions. He reached the semifinals of the EAIAW Championships all four of his years at Pittsburgh, winning two regional championships. He was named the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) National Coach of the Year in 1985 and served as the president of the AVCA from 1987 to 1990. Hebert was a part-time member of USA Volleyball's coaching staff for over 30 years and was honored with their All-Time Great Volleyball Coaches Award.
Now retired from coaching, Mike continues to work with USA Volleyball and is a member of both the University of Minnesota and AVCA halls of fame.
"Thinking Volleyball is a must-read. Coaches will benefit from Mike Hebert's years of experience and success in building programs at every level."
Russ Rose-- Head Coach Penn State Women's Volleyball
"Behind Coach Mike Hebert's well-crafted words shines his three-decade quest to help his teams become great problem solvers. If you want to improve your team, you need to read this book. "
Karch Kiraly-- Three-Time Olympic Gold Medalist, U.S. Women's Head Volleyball Coach
"In Thinking Volleyball, Mike Hebert draws on his vast experience with and knowledge of the game to provide valuable insights into the nuances of this profession. Not only is it a great read but, more importantly, it's a great resource for coaches at any level."
Hugh McCutcheon-- Head Volleyball Coach University of Minnesota
"Starting with the Introduction, you realize that Thinking Volleyball is a different type of book than what has been written before. The intricate weave between systems of play, program culture, and the writer's mastery of storytelling quickly bring the reader to the realization that there is nothing out there on the market like this book.
Legendary coach Mike Hebert has the reader asking themselves critical questions right from the beginning of Chapter 1: Learning and Decision Making. The next chapter, Structuring and Running the Program, is packed full of ideas about topics such as team policy, program goals, and event management. In this chapter, Mike tells a great inspirational story about one of his former players and starting Olympic setter, Lindsey Berg.
Over the next few chapters, the book takes a close look at different styles of play and the skills of international teams. In his discussion of the international game, Coach Hebert not only takes you on an exploration of the X's and O's of teams from around the world, but also makes observations of what he believes are the psychological principles of these teams.
"The coach must decide to impose his will on the team. It is a matter of forcing players out of their comfort zone on a daily basis." This reminder to coaches is in his chapter on defense. He gets the reader to not only think about defensive technique and positioning principles, but also about reading the opposing team's offense and maximizing defensive effort. The next chapter, Drawing a Blueprint for Offense, takes an in-depth look at running an offense and the differences between an in-system offense, out-of-system offense, and counterattacking.
The next two chapters, Promoting a Positive Gym Culture and Strengthening Team Trust are where I think this book separates itself from the many other books written on volleyball. As an observing and opposing coach, these are also the areas in which I thought Coach Hebert excelled with his championship-level teams. Amongst the many topics examined in these chapters are: getting teams to compete, working with and keeping injured players engaged, and developing a communication system. He writes, "The absolute most important enabler in team sportss is team-wide, unconditional trust. It is the lynch pin that holds a team together." Mike takes the reader into his team meetings and the activities he did with his teams in order to build team trust, including role playing, showing movie clips, and team readings. He also discusses how to promote development of positive self-talk and learned optimism, as well as how teams should deal with conflict. These two chapters are phenomenal, and they alone are worth the cost of the book.
The book doesn't slow down one bit in the last two chapters, Coaching the Match and Thinking Outside the Box. These chapters include a potpourri of tidbits that will get every coach thinking as the reader gets closer to the end.
I absolutely loved this book. Thinking Volleyball is a book that every coach at every level should have on his or her bookshelf. Coach Hebert's storytelling will keep you engaged. His layered and full 360 degree look at our profession will certainly have you referring back to chapters as you continue your journey in this wonderful sport."
Kelly Sheffield-- Head Volleyball Coach University of Wisconsin
"Others that have written analysis have not come as close to the essence of coaching women's volleyball as Mike has in Thinking Volleyball. The chapters on gym culture and trust are remarkable. Unlike other volleyball coaching books of its kind, it digs far deeper, and comes very close to the heart of coaching excellence. For those who can soak in its essence, it will make a difference long into their futures."
Walt Weaver-- MVI (Midwest Volleyball Instructor) Director, 4X National Champion Northern Lights Juniors

180Solutions Doesn't Consider Botnets Rogue Distributors?
from the apparently-not dept
We've covered adware firm 180Solutions plenty of times in the past. While the company keeps claiming that all of the bad installs were due to "rogue distributors" and their latest technology would rid them of the problem, it seems that security researchers keep finding all sorts of nasty affiliates getting through. The latest, submitted by someone who prefers to remain anonymous, is that a botnet scam is installing 180Solutions' Zango software. It seems that we keep hearing stories like this, which raise plenty of questions concerning just how cleaned up 180Solutions' affiliate program is. As most people have recognized all along, the company really doesn't have much incentive to kill the rogue distributors, because it seems unlikely they could find enough people who actually want to install the software to keep making the type of money they need to make as a venture-backed company.

Revision as of 14:54, 5 August 2013
This article describes how to use the COI (Cisco OpenStack Installer) to setup a working OpenStack cluster, which utilizes Nexus ToR switches in VLAN mode.
Setting up the Nexus switch
The following items need to be considered before proceeding with the Cisco Nexus Plugin deployment on the OpenStack Grizzly release.
- Your Nexus switch must be connected to a management network separate from the OpenStack data network. By default, we use the eth0 interface for this purpose. The plugin communicates with the switch over this network to set up your data flows.
- The switch must have SSH login and XML API enabled.
- Each compute host on the cloud should be connected to a port on the switch over a dedicated interface just for OpenStack data traffic. By default we use eth1 for this.
- The link from the node running the DHCP agent (by default, this is the OpenStack control node) should be a trunk link trunking all VLANs used for OpenStack traffic.
- Inter switch links should be trunk lings trunking all VLANs.
Figure 1 Can be used to visualize the layout of the OpenStack compute nodes and the attached Nexus switches.
'Figure 1:Nexus Plugin Diagram
Installing the COI Cache and Build Servers
Customization of the Puppet Manifests
The OpenStack installation is driven by Puppet. All of the site specific parameters are configured in a file called /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp. This is only file you need to edit before starting the Puppet install. Here are the items that may require customization in order to enable the use of the Nexus switch in VLAN mode. Other customizations for your site, such as host names, network address ranges, proxies and repositories are not explained here, but are documented as comments in the site.pp file. A few explanations follow the example:
$public_interface = 'eth0' $external_interface = 'eth1' $ovs_vlan_ranges = 'physnet1:500:600' $ovs_bridge_uplinks = ['br-eth1:eth1'] $ovs_bridge_mappings = ['physnet1:br-eth1'] $quantum_core_plugin = 'cisco' $cisco_vswitch_plugin = 'ovs' $cisco_nexus_plugin = 'nexus' $nexus_config = { '10.4.4.1' => { 'my_compute_server_1' => '1/5', 'my_compute_server_2' => '1/6' }, '10.5.5.1' => { 'my_compute_server_3' => '2/8', 'my_compute_server_4' => '2/9', 'my_compute_server_5' => '2/10', } } $nexus_credentials = ['10.4.4.1/my_username/my_password', '10.5.5.1/my_username/my_password'] $tenant_network_type = 'vlan'
Before specifying the VLAN address ranges in the $ovs_vlan_ranges parameter, please log into the switch to confirm that the specified address range is indeed free to use. Please avoid the use of VLAN IDs above 1000. The $nexus_config value is mapped, where for each Nexus switch (here identified by their IP addresses 10.4.4.1 and 10.5.5.1) we define a further map, specifying by hostname the various OpenStack compute servers, which are attached to that switch, as well as the port on that switch, to which the eth1 interface of that compute server is connected. In $nexus_credentials we specify for each of the Nexus switches a username and password for a user with management credentials.

BT shares droop as sales go limp at hard-up Europe
Wholesale wing also hit by
rules on fleecing 'regulatory price cuts' in Q1
BT revenues fell some 6 per cent in the national telco's first quarter as the company coughed to "tough conditions" in the financial sector as well as in Europe hampering its global services division.
It's wholesale wing also suffered an 8 per cent drop in sales falling below the £1bn mark to £923m, while Openreach revenues were flat at £1.26bn.
Total Q1 sales reached £4.48bn in BT's three months ended 30 June compared with £4.76bn during the same period a year earlier.
It reported adjusted pre-tax profit of £578m for the quarter, up eight per cent, while earnings per share rose 10 per cent from 5.2 pence to 5.7 pence.
The company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortisation were up 2 per cent at BT at £1.46bn for the quarter.
BT's chief Ian Livingston claimed "good performances" in the firm's wholesale division, despite the decline in sales during the quarter.
He offered this canned statement to the City this morning:
Our financial performance allows us to keep investing for the future. Our engineers are rolling out fibre at pace, bringing fibre broadband to over 2 million more homes and businesses in the quarter and it's now available to over 11 million premises.
Our investment plans are creating around 2,000 jobs in 2012 by recruiting engineers to support our fibre plans and opening four new UK call centres. We continue to make good progress with our investments in the faster growing economies.
Drilling down into the reasons behind BT's flagging revenue during the quarter, the company, in part, blamed "the impact of regulatory price reductions and lower revenue from calls and lines" for the 6 per cent sales fall.
It claimed that new charge controls imposed on BT by telecoms watchdog Ofcom would continue to have a "negative impact of around £100m−£200m on group external revenue in 2013 and a similar year on year impact in 2014."
On retail, BT saw a dramatic fall in the number of broadband customers it added during Q1, having netted 85,000 subscribers to the service compared with 141,000 new sign-ups during the same period in 2011.
However, the company came up smiling with its faster broadband product, Infinity, having attracted 150,000 new punters to the service during the three months to the end of June this year.
Shares in BT are currently trading down 4.42 per cent at 207.80p, following the company's less-than-pretty Q1 results. ®

Mercedes CLA Shooting Brake Taken for a Spin in Nurburgring
The Mercedes CLA Shooting Brake has been officially confirmed for an early 2015 release. The announcement of this new CLA model may no longer come as a surprise since speculations and leaks from insiders have already revealed the three-pointed star marque's plan for it. However, the new vehicle under the Shooting Brake series is once again making a buzz after its spy video has surfaced. In the spy video, the car can be seen cruising the endurance track of Nurburgring. This gives us a nice preview of the vehicle's performance while on the road, particularly its speed and handling capabilities.

For customers and associates of Courtenay Sears, the greatest gift of all this past holiday season was the joy of giving.
Courtenay Sears kicked off its first annual Tree of Wishes gift-giving campaign in December, offering generous community members the opportunity to purchase gifts for children from homes that are struggling financially this year. Sears partnered with the John Howard Society of North Island (JHSNI), and 42 children in KidStart and other JHSNI programs had their wishes come true.
The gifts went to babies, children, and youth up to 18 years old. Kids asked for items ranging from toys to "a pair of socks." Sears staff wrapped the gifts and volunteer KidStart mentors and JHSNI staff had the joyful experience of delivering them to the families who needed them.
"We would like to thank our customers for donating so generously to the Wish Tree," said Sears owner Dustin Parker. "The staff found it very rewarding to give back to kids in our community. There is obviously a lot of need out there and it's nice to be able to do something to help out."
KidStart is the Comox Valley's only one-to-one mentoring program for vulnerable children and youth. The volunteer-based program focuses on the positive development of kids aged six to 18 who could benefit from having stable, committed, and caring adults in their lives. There are currently 45 children and youth waiting for a KidStart mentor in the Comox Valley.
For more information, contact KidStart co-ordinator Wendy Thurlborn at 250-338-7341 ext. 335 or email@example.com. Visit JHSNI on the web at www.jhsni.bc.ca/kidstartchampion.html.

Cabarete trip summary 22 Mar/02
Where to stay: There's four options. The cheapest is sharing a room at a house that one of the school instructors, Jordy, has within a short walk to Kite Beach (K-B) It's reported to be about $10. night. I did not see it personally, but a large number of the better kiters, that were spending more than a few weeks, stay at Jordy's house. (email me for phone #) There's another kite bunkhouse somewhere also, father away.
The K-B Hotel is right in the center of it. I decided not to stay there. It is a converted condo/apartment building, cut into rooms, with a center courtyard with no beach lockers for gear. It's reasonable, provides a breakfast, is popular, a little run down from the outside but probably a great place to stay for a group of young guys. (I did not see the rooms but looked around the building.)
I stayed at the Hotel Playa del Oro - right next door to the K-B Hotel. They are the only two hotels directly in the center of K-B. It's a few dollars more, no free breakfast, very clean with nice grounds, pool, great food (big pasta for lunch is about $3), bar on beach, gear lockers for $10.wk on beach. Probably the place to stay if your are alone or with a non-kiting wife.
...in both the above, it's a long walk to town. If all you need is food/water/beer - then either the above is fine. If you need to Party! or use an internet cafe every night, then they are too far away. Stay at the Caracol Hotel near town. It's both a half block from the beach and road (the road is real noisy!) Very nice, reasonable, pool, kitchen, beautiful grounds..even a gas grill if you bought some fresh fish. I stayed there two nights but found everything I needed was up at K-B and moved.
Transport: It's about $20. to get from the airport to Cabarete, but outbound was half that - in a van with air-conditioning! - because I shared with another couple and the people at the Playa del Oro called a van driver they knew. (it pays to know somebody.)
I hated to do it - but rode the Motoconcho's about five times because of the long walk to town. You ride on the back of a 100cc motorcycle and the trip to K-B from town was 20pesos, a little over $1.US. Many trips are only 10p, and the locals pay 5, but you are very rich compared to them. Make sure to avoid a "Dominican Tattooâ€

Wise discipleship includes knowing what to welcome and what to renounce. Both last week's and today's Gospel readings provide key parts of Jesus' teaching on discipleship. In last week's reading (Mk 9:30–37), the disciples had been arguing about who among them was the greatest; Jesus commanded them to be servants and to welcome the powerless (a child) as they would welcome Jesus himself.
This week's Gospel picks up from there. John tells Jesus that "we saw someone driving out demons in your name, and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us." This "tattling" is ironic. It comes shortly after the disciples themselves failed to exorcise a demon (9:18). It is as if they felt upstaged by the success of this maverick. The kingdom had everything to do with banishing evil, but they seem to have missed that he was doing exactly that. Jesus reminds his disciples that "whoever is not against us is for us."
We see in the Lord's teaching that discipleship must include a gracious, open mind and heart, ready to affirm all good no matter where it comes from. "By their fruits you will know them" (Mt 7:20). Such an insight into discipleship has applications for intrachurch relations as well as how we regard nonmembers. Ministry can be hoarded. Clericalism provides an obvious example: Father runs the parish with the kind of elitism that ignores the wisdom and insight of thoughtful, wise parishioners.
Ministerial hoarding can be just as much a problem among the parish staff, when members of a ministry team create their own fiefs. Surely one of the effects of original sin is that authority is often accompanied by control issues; for too many, the more authority they possess, the less likely they are to be broadly consultative or solicitous.
The first reading is striking here. Seventy elders were given "some of the spirit that was on Moses" and showed prophetic abilities. Joshua sees two people he did not know were on the list and complains to Moses. Moses responds: "Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the people of the Lord were prophets!"
Regarding those outside the faith, we would do well to cultivate that same graciousness. One of the great witnesses of Blessed Pope John Paul II was his extraordinary openness to the Spirit outside of Christianity. In his lecture on Assisi Day in 1987 concerning spiritual gifts in other religions, he affirmed, "There are undeniably differences that reflect the genius and spiritual 'riches' which God has given to the peoples." Perhaps instead of demanding, "Why are you not one of us?" we might ask, "What are your gifts to the kingdom?"
Jesus' final teaching on discipleship has everything to do with what to renounce: "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were put around his neck and he were thrown into the sea." Jesus then recommends removing hand, foot or eye if they lead one to sin. "Better to enter life crippled than with two feet to be thrown into Gehenna." Obviously this is hyperbole, and indeed one's limbs are not the real problem but rather disordered desires. Still, the image drives home the imperative to renounce anything that leads to sin, particularly sins that undermine the faith of others.
Mark uses the Greek verb skandalizein, from which we have "scandalize." It does not mean "to shock," but "to put a stumbling block in front of someone." Literally, the text reads, "And if anyone were to cause to stumble one of the smallest believers in me...." Jesus is not referring only to leading someone to sin. When I am rude to students who are spiritually unfortified, I can cause them to stumble in faith. When I gossip, I can lead others to trip. Better for me to cut off my tongue and enter eternal life mute than be thrown into Gehenna full-voiced.

Police boss repays £800 in expenses
Police supremo Clive Grunshaw has revealed he has repaid almost £800 in over-claimed expenses following a second embarrassing cash blunder as crime commissioner.
But the former milkman has insisted the error was down to a member of his staff, not him. The revelation comes less than six months after Mr Grunshaw was exonerated of accusations he fiddled £1,550 of allowances as a county councillor.
This time he admitted his office had claimed £796.70 too much in mileage expenses for his work as commissioner – they were claiming 45p a mile when he was only entitled to charge between 12p and 13p. He said: "As soon as this was brought to my attention I immediately repaid the money.
"My role is a busy one and I have to be able to rely on the mechanisms put in place for payments to ensure that, once I have signed my expenses to confirm their accuracy, they are processed correctly."

It all started with ghost stories. Dad convinced me that spirits lurked just outside my bedroom door at night. After years of night terrors, I began listening to LPs of spooky tales, memorizing them and acting them out around campfires on those balmy winter nights in South Florida. In this way, other children would suffer as I had.
Naturally, this dramatic flair evolved into a prestigious four-year engagement on the high school drama circuit where my mother's rapturous reviews provoked standing ovations also from my mother.
One day, while working part time as a copy clerk at the St. Petersburg Times, an editor asked me why my hair was dyed bright orange. I explained that it was because I was "an actor." Was my future decided out of pity? Out of concern for my mental health? I cannot read minds. However, the next thing that happened is that I was made a theater critic.
For more than a decade, The Commercial Appeal's readers tolerated my opinions on everything from classical music to ballet. Even WKNO-FM let me create a little club for theatergoers.
When this fine radio station went looking for someone to tell stories of the "news" variety, I made the argument that Memphis is a city full of great stories; no other has a richer cultural narrative. The crossroads of America is a crucible of stories from all walks of life. Also, crossroads are known for ghosts and devils, and who doesn't love those?
They totally bought the argument. So now, I'm looking for great stories. What's yours?

They were as close as a man and his speedo-wearing bodyguard could be ... but now, The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase tells TMZ his relationship with Virgil is completely nonexistent.
DiBiase was leaving JFK with his wife yesterday when we asked the WWE legend if he had read recent reports that Virgil was now broke and selling t-shirts on a subway platform in NYC to survive.
"That's what I've heard," Ted told us ... "I haven't talked to him in a long time."
Still, Ted says he still considers Virgil a friend and sounded concerned for his former wrestling partner.
As for Virgil, a TMZ staffer saw him in the subway recently and tried to speak with the guy ... but Virgil made it clear he didn't want to talk.

Cecil County voters, who did not take part in early voting, set to end Thursday, will get their chance to make their voices heard on the regular primary election day on Tuesday, April 3, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
This year is the first voting for offices created when voters, after many previous failed attempts, approved a home rule charter for the county in the 2010 general election.
The primary election also features an interesting judicial race involving three candidates. Both Republicans and Democrats can vote for two of the three.
Circuit Court Judges Keith A. Baynes and Jane Murray were both appointed to the bench in 2011 by Gov.Martin O'Malley. Opposing them is Michael D. Smigiel, an outspoken Republican state delegate, who represents the legislative district that covers most of the northern and eastern part of the county.
Cecil had 59,265 registered voters as of early Wednesday, according to the county's board of elections. Of the total, 23,544 are Democrat, 22,967 are Republican and 11,602 are unaffiliated. The unaffiliated voters can't participate in the primary.
Crowded executive fields
In the county's first race for county executive, Republicans have seven candidates, while Democrats have three.
The Republican candidates for county executive are Richard T. Boyle, Diana Broomell, Michael A. Dawson, Harry Hepbron, Tari Moore, Pete Pritchard and Paul Trapani. Broomell is a county commissioner, Hepbron is a former county commissioner and Dawson is a Perryville town commissioner.
Democrats will be voting for one of three candidates for county executive: Pamela R. Howard, Robert McKnight or Winston Robinson.
Voters will also be selecting nominees for the first Cecil County Council in council districts 1 and 5, which represent the eastern edge and North East and Charlestown areas. Voting for council seats is at-large.
Federal offices
President Barack Obama does not have challengers for the Democratic nomination, but the Republican ballot will have eight choices, including Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, who are locked in a fight to the finish for their party's nomination.
The only Republican choice for U.S. Representative in Congressional District 1, which all of Cecil is in, is incumbent Congressman Andy Harris, of Baltimore County, who is running unopposed.
Hopefuls for U.S. Representative on the Democratic ticket, who would ultimately challenge Andy Harris, include John LaFerla, Kim Letke and Wendy Rosen.
Republicans will also be voting for U.S. Senator from a choice of Joseph Alexander, Daniel John Bongino, Robert "BRO" Broadus, William Thomas Capps Jr., Richard J. Douglas, Rick Hoover, David Jones, John B. Kimble, Brian Vaeth and Corrogan R. Vaughn.
Democratic Senate candidates include Raymond Levi Blagmon, incumbent Sen. Ben Cardin, J.P. Cusick, Chris Garner, Ralph Jaffe,C. Anthony Muse, Blaine Taylor, Ed Tinus and Lih Young.
