SAN DIEGO -- After developing a reputation for high-scoring games and crazy finishes, the Holiday Bowl finally got the first shutout in its 32-year history.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
It wasn’t close, either.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
Zac Lee threw a 74-yard touchdown pass to Niles Paul in the third quarter to highlight No. 20 Nebraska’s 33-0 rout against No. 22 Arizona on a rainy Wednesday night.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
The coaches expected a defensive game, and the Huskers delivered, earning their first shutout in 46 bowl appearances.</div>

I've always held the belief that certifications are important, but there are quite a few people who make the argument that certifications aren't relevant today. A case can be made either way based on empirical data and anecdotal stories. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>IDC's 36-month study involved surveying more than 1,100 IT managers who are responsible for more than 3,000 teams. The survey asked for details about more than 80 IT performance metrics in 26 different functional domains, which include deployment, development, management, security, storage and support. Having analyzed all that data, IDC has come to the conclusion that certification in relevant areas matters, and here's why. </div><br /><div></div><div>Increasingly, companies are relying on their IT departments to go beyond simply deploying and operating IT systems. IT departments are often included in business transformations and process improvements that will help the business grow and become more profitable. This means the department needs to have a staff of people with both business acumen and IT knowledge and skills. Anderson writes, "Organizations focused on driving growth, managing risks, and cutting overhead expenses rely on IT departments to manage convergence, complex infrastructures, and the proliferation of sophisticated edge devices (e.g., notebooks and <a href="http://www.networkworld.com/topics/pdas-r.html" jquery1259599811069="206">PDAs</a>). IT talent must combine technical capabilities with the ability to manage projects and complex situations that bring alignment with business goals." </div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1225971008395459536.post-62889214076216272902009-11-25T17:34:00.002-06:002009-11-25T18:03:23.785-06:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__850z8_nA1g/Sw3Fgp-yMCI/AAAAAAAAEso/EDzo_bn8YJ8/s1600/hurt-locker-poster1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 311px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__850z8_nA1g/Sw3Fgp-yMCI/AAAAAAAAEso/EDzo_bn8YJ8/s400/hurt-locker-poster1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408195892357509154" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__850z8_nA1g/Sw3FcoQ7B4I/AAAAAAAAEsg/vi6eUKEEOvk/s1600/inglorious+bastersmain2-2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__850z8_nA1g/Sw3FcoQ7B4I/AAAAAAAAEsg/vi6eUKEEOvk/s400/inglorious+bastersmain2-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408195823177238402" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__850z8_nA1g/Sw3FVsvFAXI/AAAAAAAAEsY/2MnJi0tuATY/s1600/inglourious-basterds-french.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 241px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__850z8_nA1g/Sw3FVsvFAXI/AAAAAAAAEsY/2MnJi0tuATY/s400/inglourious-basterds-french.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408195704118378866" border="0" /></a><br />I saw the movie Inglorious Basterds on Saturday and the movie Hurt Locker last night. Both are good. The Basterds gets a B+ and the Hurt Locker a B.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >The Basterds</span> is a WWII movie should see in the theaters while you still can. it would be good on a tv but most def a movie-theater-movie. The story is top notch and so are the characters and acting. This movie is punctuated by some really extreme violence. The European culture is captured really well. The movie is about 1/2 in English and 1/2 in subtitles (they speak German, french and Italian) After awhile i got so immersed in the story I almost forgot i was reading subtitles. It was interesting how these guys changed WWII history as we know it. Like i said... it's a great story.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Hurt Locker</span> </span>is the name soldiers give the the armored suit they wear when disarming bombs in Iraq. This is a good movie that just goes a bit too long. There are lots and lots of really good combat scenes and a sniper duel that was so real i just wanted to get out of my theater seat and find cover before the next bullet was aimed at me.<br /><br />I highly recommend both of these movies... See them in the theater and enjoy the big screen! The hurt locker really makes you feel like you're in the desert, riding shotgun in a Humvee, or providing cover for your buddy as he walks in slow motion in his bomb suit toward an IED.<br /><br /><a href="http://accelerate-the-world-i-live-in.blogspot.com/2009/11/yes.html"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">This is my previous post..

It's not going to work. The detainees in Baghdad are going to be just as vicious as the Vikings fans you know.</p> <p>A Wisconsin National Guard unit charged with keeping watch over detainees in Baghdad decided to put up Packers colors and logos all around the camp. The prisoners noticed, started asking questions and suddenly, Favre became an unwitting ally.</p> <p><a href="http://www.620wtmj.com/news/local/70451747.html">From 620WTMJ's Jay Sorgi</a> (subbing in for the injured Waylon Manning):</p> <blockquote><p>"They know Favre by name," said First Lieutenant Tim Boehnen, who is from New Richmond, Wis.</p><p>"One of the big words they know now is shenanigan. They'll constantly talk about 'Favre shenanigans,' 'He's so good for the Vikings,' and 'The Packers have got to really feel bad about that one.' "</p><p>[...] "They obviously then started up the conversations, and started talking about Brett Favre. They soon learned about Favre going to the Vikings, and things just started going downhill from there."</p></blockquote> <p>In retaliation, I think our troops should make the detainees watch ESPN's Week 4 Monday Night Football <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/recap?gid=20091005016">contest between the Vikings and Packers</a>, including pre- and post-game shows.

After the game was over I was proud that they played quite well! BUT ended up losing this game due to the 3 consecutive bad calls. On a touchdown pass the refs called holding but there was no sign of holding shown on the replay. Then the huskers passed for a touch down. The replay showed the receivers feet were clearly inbounds when the ball was caught but the ref ruled he was out of bounds. What if the ref was paid-off? In the NFL they minimize the collusion because they can call a review the replay. This allows multiple refs to rule on the play. In amateur football, (aka college football) one ref can make or break a game with his incorrect rulings. In the husker game did the ref get paid off or is he just in need of new glasses? Which ever the case, going to a replay review would have minimized this situation. The fact that this game was lost due to poor rulings on the field really makes this a frustrating loss.<br /><br />I keep trying to make myself enjoy watching college ball but it always seems to be a game of attrition. One team wins because the other team made more mistakes? Or one team wins because the other team had more bad calls made against them? I'm still thinking I would rather watch NFL games and marvel at the skills of career players as they compete at the absolute pinnacle of all team sports.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1225971008395459536.post-74535055338925616172009-09-10T22:36:00.003-05:002009-09-10T22:42:34.236-05:00Do you ever feel overqualified for your life?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__850z8_nA1g/SqnF1TBbD4I/AAAAAAAAEOk/j-3eQ-NU2yA/s1600-h/space_shuttle_launch.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 270px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__850z8_nA1g/SqnF1TBbD4I/AAAAAAAAEOk/j-3eQ-NU2yA/s320/space_shuttle_launch.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380048749300748162" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />My intention is not to insult anyone. but it really does seem like the average adult in the USA is about as smart as a 6th grader. The difference is that the 6th grader knows he or she is still learning whereas the average adult thinks he or she already know everything they need to know.<br /><br />My philosophy is never stop learning new things. If you stop trying to learn, you start declining. There are too many declining people.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1225971008395459536.post-7846326024203280992009-09-02T20:31:00.007-05:002009-09-03T18:05:40.890-05:00Michael Vick<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__850z8_nA1g/Sp8d4cNUjlI/AAAAAAAAEEY/rQn4TGge62k/s1600-h/mike+vick+pit+attack.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 218px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__850z8_nA1g/Sp8d4cNUjlI/AAAAAAAAEEY/rQn4TGge62k/s320/mike+vick+pit+attack.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377049335585607250" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The second string quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles and convicted felon, Michael Vick,Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1225971008395459536.post-73071203246173461832009-08-30T20:00:00.006-05:002009-09-23T20:56:45.118-05:00Shots with the Lumix Z28<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__850z8_nA1g/SrrRvV7C9ZI/AAAAAAAAESg/r10ynfoJh-8/s1600-h/P1070053+delta+crop+.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__850z8_nA1g/SrrRvV7C9ZI/AAAAAAAAESg/r10ynfoJh-8/s320/P1070053+delta+crop+.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384846915743708562" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__850z8_nA1g/SpsiNuAis0I/AAAAAAAAD04/GvXKaaTmnyQ/s1600-h/P1060692+crowds+.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__850z8_nA1g/SpsiNuAis0I/AAAAAAAAD04/GvXKaaTmnyQ/s320/P1060692+crowds+.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375928199280767810" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/greg.seewald88">The Air Show!</a> <-ClickUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1225971008395459536.post-73351589972267154322009-08-04T13:42:00.003-05:002009-08-20T22:03:11.457-05:00Airshow Season is here!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__850z8_nA1g/SniBmBH3gvI/AAAAAAAADZc/E8T4nY4h3Mk/s1600-h/f22+offutt.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__850z8_nA1g/SniBmBH3gvI/AAAAAAAADZc/E8T4nY4h3Mk/s320/f22+offutt.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366181446148391666" border="0" /></a><br />New job = New camera<br /><br />I've been holding off on this purchase for too long.

This is a placeholder for my review and will try to write it up in the next day or two. IT AIN'T GONNA BE PRETTY!!<br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />It's been a week since I watched this movie and here is what stands out the most:<br /><ul><li>The stupid bearded guy opening the car door and hitting the babies head.<br /></li><li>The 3 or 4 scenes featuring <span style="font-weight: bold;">projectile vomiting</span>.</li><li>The name rip-off where they had a "white doug" and a "black doug" They stole this idea from the FX network TV show <a href="http://tv.yahoo.com/show/36164/photos/3"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rescue Me</span></a>. On that show they have "<span>White Sean" and "Black Sean</span>". It's mildly funny on Rescue Me but just lame and out of place in this <span style="font-weight: bold;">Vegas train wreck.</span></li></ul><ul><li>The <span style="font-weight: bold;">prick father</span> of the groom loans his <span style="font-weight: bold;">pristine Mercedes</span> to the guys to take to Vegas. Of course it was going to be completely trashed by the end of the movie. Who didn't see coming from about 200 miles away! Duh!</li></ul><ul><li>The guy who is <span style="font-weight: bold;">Andy on The Office</span> actually plays the same exact character in this movie. He even sings the same moron/stupid songs in the movie. Ugh.. so painful to watch.</li></ul><ul><li>The way too many scenes of <span style="font-weight: bold;">man crack</span>. Having just one scene is too much but they had to keep showing the stupid guy's ass. It wasn't that funny on the show Jackass. Is it funny now?</li></ul><ul><li>My feelings of pity for <span style="font-weight: bold;">Heather Graham</span>. She is an actress who has been in a lot of movies, some of them were good. She must be getting desperate to allow herself to be associated with this <span style="font-weight: bold;">cast of losers</span> in this <span style="font-weight: bold;">horrible mess of movie</span>.</li></ul><ul><li>The pervert bearded guy is yelling "hey baby" to someone in the car next them. They swing the view around and we see that he is hitting on a 10 year old girl. Is that really supposed to be funny? Really??</li></ul><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mike Tyson</span> as an actor. Do I need to say more?</li></ul><ul><li>Every 10 minutes someone says something like, "I don't remember what happened last night or Gosh what happened? Where is whats his name? How did this baby get here? Do you know what happened last night?..." It never stops. Didn't most of us already know that they were all going to have a blackout and not remember the big bender night in Vegas? <span>Isn't that the</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><span>whole </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">premise of this stupid ass movie??</span></li></ul><ul><li>A quote from the first scene in the movie, <span style="font-weight: bold;">"</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">We fucked up</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">"</span>. You could actually apply that declaration to the entire production.</li></ul>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2
