Senior center Martin Iti transferred from North Carolina-Charlotte and senior forward Trei Steward came from the University of Northern Colorado.

As they sat out in 2005-06, the Aggies' practice squad could have competed with some WAC opponents.
Court asks govt to reply in 24 hours
According to sources, last night a brawl took place between one of the injured and some persons belonging to another group over a rivalry between the two groups. While three injured-- Deepak Kumar, his grandfather Hakam Singh and a resident of the village, Major Singh-- were rushed to Bathinda Civil Hospital, Pardeep Kumar and Sukhraj Singh were admitted to Goniana Civil Hospital. Charanjit Singh, father of Deepak, who was injured in the incident, said, The incident took place around 10 am. Earlier, a jeep with seven or eight persons came to our field where we were installing a motor pump. But finding themselves outnumbered, they went back. He alleged Baltej Singh, Dilewar Singh and Gurmel Singh came in a white Zen car, with .12 bore rifle, swords and lathis, after some time.
Back up your computer files
Losing one file on your computer can be annoying and inconvenient; losing all the information on your computer can be catastrophic. If you haven't given any thought to backing up your computer drives, you may want to consider doing so. Information on your computer can be lost in many ways. Experiencing a power surge or outage, lightening, a child playing on the keyboard or simply equipment failure are just a few of the causes.Your first step will be to decide what to backup. A good start would be to have a "laundry" list of the files you consider to be important. You will find that this list will also be valuable if you need to recover a single lost or damaged file. Some recommended files to backup would be financial information, family photos, personal projects, email and email addresses, your Internet bookmarks, any software that has been paid for and downloaded from the Internet, music downloads, business forms and letters, your .com web site, in reality, anything you do not want to loose or cannot replace.Next you will need to decide on a method to store this information.
Soak up Super Bowl fun in Arizona on a shoestring
If you're an everyman headed to Arizona's "Valley of the Sun" this weekend to participate in the Super Bowl XLII festivities, you'll have to get creative, as high-profile parties will be accessible only to high-rollers and corporate insiders. "It's gonna be nuts," Scottsdale resident Matt Holmes said of the city, which is already crawling with the rich and famous. "Unless you've got a ton of money to blow, there won't be much for you to do." Maybe not much compared to the scope of the event, but there will certainly be plenty -- whether you're someone who likes to be pampered, an outdoors type, a shopper, a barfly or a spiritual seeker, you can find ways to keep yourself entertained before and after the game. .
With Signals Mixed, Stocks Score Few Gains
Bulls, however, took comfort in stocks' ability to hold above their January lows, which suggests that much of the unfolding economic torpor may be reflected in share prices. Late Friday reports suggesting a pending bailout of bond insurer Ambac Financial (ticker: ABK) helped stocks recoup the day's losses quickly and dramatically. Companies also paint a mixed picture. Brisk computer sales brightened Hewlett-Packard's (ticker: HPQ) outlook, but the increasingly dull Sharper Image (SHRP) filed for bankruptcy. Barron's warned readers against shares of the gadget merchant -- and its Ionic Breeze air purifiers -- nearly two years ago ("Gone with the Wind," May 2, 2005), when the stock fetched 13-14. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the week up 33, or 0.3%, to 12381. The Standard & Poor's 500 edged up 3, or 0.2%, to 1353.
What I Learned in Jail Last Night
He's the only what who really believes in what we do, though," the lady cop sighed. They transported us to the precinct in the Canal Street subway station. Still handcuffed, they pulled the bobby pins out of my hair, the shoelaces out of my shoes, took my backpack and all belongings into custody, and removed my belt. My nose was running from not being able to reach my face for two hours, and my makeup was smeared from lying facedown in the police van. I fit right in! They put me in a cell and slammed the door. My cellmate was a teenage-looking, chubby goth girl with holes in her tights who scratched herself compulsively. We said nothing to each other; meanwhile, the guys in the two cells next to us were practically having a party. They'd gotten some guards to buy them Cokes and were hollering and yelling about "we'll be outta here by 3 a.m., no problem." They were in for the crimes of "outstretch" and turnstile-jumping.
OCTOPUS GARDEN: Should Lindros be in the Hall?
Will he be inducted in the Builder category? His stubbornness ultimately contributed to the Colorado Avalanche mini-dynasty." Remember, the Nordiques/Avs got Peter Forsberg from the Flyers for Lindros. (And the Wings thank him for that.) CBSsports.com ran a poll asking if Lindros should make the Hall, and the last time we checked, 62% said no. A Hockey News poll was running 66% negative. So it might be a tough sell. The real problem might be that Lindros couldn't live up to others' expectations. He just wasn't the Next One he was supposed to be. Isn't Igor a lock? Speaking of this year's induction class, there wasn't room for Igor Larionov, who had a stellar international career, was a trailblazer for Russian players coming to the NHL and played a key role in three Stanley Cup winners for the Wings.
SUPER PHREAK: ED PISKOR TALKS “WIZZYWIG”
Sometimes, then as now, this was done for profit or malice, but more often these experiments were motivated by curiosity or simple mischief. Ed Piskors ("American Splendor") new self-published graphic novel, Wizzywig, tells a fictionalized account of the early days of hacking, when enterprising phone phreaks pushed the limits of telephonic applications. CBR News spoke with Piskor about the history of Wizzywig and the personalities and events that inspired it. The story begins with Kevin Boingthump Phenicle already in police custody, and his friend Winston advocating for him on a radio program. This has the effect of adding a touch of "legend" to Boingthumps exploits even before we see him perform his first hack. From here, Wizziwig flashes back to Kevins childhood, a picture of struggle and loneliness that would come to serve his technological obsession well.
Entourage data disappearing bug squashed with Office update
Microsoft released a patch for Office 2004 for Mac users this week that fixed a vulnerability that could allow an attacker to overwrite memory with malicious code. The 12MB update is relatively unassuming (Apple's not the only one that has issues being specific sometimes), but Office users have grown used to patching security holes. After all, malicious code is never good. Thanks to some careful digging by our friends at TUAW, though, we have a lot more information about the other types of fixes this 11.4.0 update will provide. Once upon a time, there was a bug that would mysteriously delete the e-mail belonging to Exchange users, sometimes months' worth at a time. A reader detailed exactly what was going on in a blog posting, pointing out that some communications mishaps between Entourage and an Exchange server were to be blamed for the mass e-mail deletion.
