A few days after Senator Barack Obama welcomed the idea of building new commercial nuclear reactors in the United States, he criticized Senator John McCain for proposing to build 45 new reactors by 2030 without a solution for nuclear waste. Speaking in Las Vegas, Nevada he disparaged McCain for offshore drilling as well:
Meanwhile, the oil companies already own drilling rights to 68 million acres of federal lands, onshore and offshore, that they haven't touched. 68 million acres that have the potential to nearly double America's total oil production, and John McCain wants to give them more. Well that might make sense in Washington, but it doesn't make sense for America. In fact, it makes about as much sense as his proposal to build 45 new nuclear reactors without a plan to store the waste some place other than right here at Yucca Mountain. Folks, these are not serious energy policies."
Playing into the hands of the Las Vegas elite, Obama used the geologic repository Yucca Mountain as a scare tactic. Yet, he neglected to mention that the majority Nye County, the home of Yucca Mountain, is in favor of building Yucca for the jobs and economic stimulation it could bring to the county.
Regardless, Yucca Mountain, as critical as it is to the management of used nuclear fuel, is not a alone long-term solution. The amount of used nuclear fuel already accumulated in this country is near the 70,000 ton statutory limit. Furthermore, if nuclear power production increased by 1.8 percent annually after 2010, a 120,000-ton (what most scientists believe its actual capacity is) Yucca would be full by 2030. Fortunately, The Heritage Foundation's Jack Spencer outlined a free-market approach to managing used nuclear fuel that included these critical implementations:
• Create the legal framework that allows the private sector to price geologic storage as a commodity;
• Empower the private sector to manage used fuel;
• Repeal the 70,000-ton limitation on the Yucca Mountain repository and instead let technology, science, and physical capacity determine the appropriate limit;
• Create a private entity that is representative of but independent from nuclear operators to manage Yucca Mountain;
• Repeal the mil, abolish the Nuclear Waste Fund, and transfer the remaining funds to a private entity to cover the expenses of constructing Yucca Mountain; and
• Limit the federal government's role to providing oversight, basic research, and development and taking title of spent fuel upon repository decom¬missioning.
Overhauling the nation's nuclear-waste management regime will not be easy. It will require a significant amendment of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act and a long-term commitment by Congress, the Administration, and industry. But developing such a system would put the United States well on its way to re-establishing itself as a global leader in nuclear energy.

Ben Schrank at Razorbill took world English rights to the debut novel by former Washington Post editor Sabaa Tahir's An Ember in the Ashes. Separately, Paramount acquired film rights to the book in a seven-figure deal. The novel is set in a fantasy world and, per Razorbill parent Penguin Young Readers Group, has "echoes of ancient Rome." It follows two teenagers who are fighting to stay under a military regime.
Tahir, who was born in London but grew up in California's Mojave Desert, gained notoriety after writing a piece for the Washington Post's Outlook section when she was interning at the newspaper one summer. The story, about an arranged marriage from her perspective as a South Asian, brought everything from an offer for a reality show on MTV to marriage proposals. Instead, Tahir took a job at the Post's foreign desk after she graduated from UCLA in 2007.
Schrank, who acquired the rights from agent Alexandra Machinist at Janklow & Nesbit, said that Tahir's book is one "that knows its reader." He elaborated: "When you want more, it anticipates and provides. And then it tantalizes. The novel, like the mask it describes, actually grips you tight and does not let go."
In a release about the acquisition, Tahir said the novel was inspired by her desire to "capture the violence of our world and our history, and juxtapose it with characters who find hope, who search for freedom and love even when society wants to crush them."
Film rights for the deal were handled by Sally Willcox at CAA, and producer Mark Johnson (Breaking Bad; The Notebook) is currently attached to the project.
Razorbill is planning to publish An Ember in the Ashes in 2015; associate editor Gillian Levinson will be editing the book.

Fact-checking the first presidential debate
In the first presidential debate of the general election campaign, President Obama and Mitt Romney went head-to-head over issues ranging from health care, to job creation, to tax cuts. Below, CBSNews.com looks into the facts behind those charges.
ROMNEY: "We've got 23 million people out of work or stopped looking for work in this country."
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 12.8 million unemployed Americans as of July.
However, if you add up the number of Americans looking for more work, one gets to Romney's figure. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that there were 8.2 million Americans in July who were working part-time "because their hours had been cut back or because they were unable to find a full-time job."
Additionally, there were 2.5 million people who were "marginally attached to the labor force." The Bureau explains, "These individuals were not in the labor force, wanted and were available for work, and had looked for a job sometime in the prior 12 months. They were not counted as unemployed because they had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey."
This adds up to more than 23 million, figure the Romney campaign has highlighted repeatedly.
OBAMA: "Over the last 30 months, we've seen 5 million jobs in the private sector created."
The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently announced that private sector job growth likely grew by 453,000 more jobs than previously announced between March 2011 to March 2012 time period - which puts total private sector job growth over the last 30 months at 5.1 million, verifying Mr. Obama's charge. That figure does not take into account the approximately 676,000 public sector job losses that have occurred during the president's term, however, and doesn't include the massive private sector job losses at the beginning of his term. Still, many argue that the president can't be held responsible for those early losses, which were not a result of policies he had implemented.
Issues 2012: In Depth
Debate: Romney scores against cautious Obama
Economy in focus during Obama, Romney showdown
Poll: Uncommitted voters say Romney wins debate
Cost of Living
ROMNEY: "The people who are having the hard time right now are middle-income Americans. Under the president's policies, middle-income Americans have been buried. They're just being crushed. Middle- income Americans have seen their income come down by $4,300. This is a -- this is a tax in and of itself. I'll call it the economy tax. It's been crushing. At the same time, gasoline prices have doubled under the president. Electric rates are up. Food prices are up. Health care costs have gone up by $2,500 a family. Middle-income families are being crushed."
According to a May study by Sentier Research, an Annapolis-based research firm, real median American income in March was down by $4,300 since January 2009, when President Obama took office. But his statement that gas prices "have doubled under the president" is misleading. The average current gas price is $3.78, slightly more than twice the average gas price the week that the president took office in January. But that figure - an average of $1.85 on January 19, 2009, according to Consumer Reports -- was exceptionally low due to the economic crisis, when prices fell as a result of low demand. According to the American Automobile Association, the average national gas price was just 16 cents lower than it is now -- $3.62 -- on October 1, 2008.
According to a Consumer Price Index report from August, the food index rose 2 percent in a twelve month period, which can likely be attributed in part to the cost of living. Some have also pointed to the recent drought -- which according to the New York Times affected 88 percent of the corn crop -- as part of the reason for rising costs. As for electric prices, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the average U.S. residential electricity cost is up 48 cents per kilowatt per hour since 2010.
On Romney's charge that "Health care costs have gone up by $2,500 a family," according to a 2012 survey from the Kaiser Family Foundation analyzing employee health benefits, Romney is approximately correct: Since Obama took office, the average annual premium for family coverage through an employer has risen from $13,375 in 2009 to $15,745 in 2012, an increase of $2,370 over the past four years.
Health Care
OBAMA: "When Obamacare is fully implemented, we're going to be in a position to show that costs are going down. And over the last two years, health care premiums have gone up -- it's true -- but they've gone up slower than any time in the last 50 years. So we're already beginning to see progress. In the meantime, folks out there with insurance, you're already getting a rebate."
According to a January 2012 report from "Health Affairs," health spending in 2009 and 2010 grew more slowly than in any other years during a 51-year history measured in National Health Expenditure Accounts, at rates of 3.8 percent and 3.9 percent, respectively. But that doesn't necessarily mean the slow growth is reflective of the president's policies - the report suggests that the slow growth in rates was a reflection of the recession, which led to a reduced overall use in health care goods and services.
ROMNEY: "On Medicare, for current retirees, he's cutting $716 billion from the program. Now, he says by not overpaying hospitals and providers. Actually just going to them and saying, 'We're going to reduce the rates you get paid across the board, everybody's going to get a lower rate.' That's not just going after places where there's abuse. That's saying we're cutting the rates. Some 15 percent of hospitals and nursing homes say they won't take anymore Medicare patients under that scenario."
The Romney campaign has for months accused the Obama administration of cutting $716 billion from Medicare to the detriment of beneficiaries. The Romney campaign points to a CBO report showing that if the health care law was repealed, spending for Medicare would increase by an estimated $716 billion from 2013-2022. The president's health care reform law is indeed paid for in part by reducing Medicare's expected rate of growth between now and 2022. According to data from the Kaiser Foundation, however, the reductions come primarily from cuts to Medicare Advantage plans, as well as in hospital reimbursements and in payments to other providers. The Obama administration casts them as savings that would streamline the system, reduce waste and fraud, reinforce the Medicare trust fund and extend its lifeline. It does not limit access to benefits for Medicare recipients, and actually offers new preventative care benefits, as well as increased prescription drug coverage. Republicans, however, argue it creates disincentives for hospitals and doctors to accept new Medicare patients. It's also worth noting that Ryan's 2012 budget would have included the same Medicare reductions as are outlined in the president's health care plan, although Romney has said that he would not follow his running mate's lead on that issue.
OBAMA: "Governor Romney's central economic plan calls for a $5 trillion tax cut..."
Mr. Obama was referring to an analysis by the non-partisan Tax Policy Center of Romney's economic plan and was suggesting that his tax proposal would cost $5 trillion over a 10-year period.
The study, oft cited by Democrats and denounced by Romney, looks at Romney's promise to cut income tax rates across the board by 20 percent, which he has said would be paid for by reducing tax deductions and credits. But any offsets to the $5 trillion figure are unknown since Romney has yet to indicate which deductions and credits he would cut.

Freezing temperatures, corrosive seawater and immense water pressure are all factors that present challenges to drilling offshore, where the underwater environment is so harsh that operations must be automated or performed remotely.
Overcoming these challenges is the job of the subsea engineer, a skilled professional responsible for the design and maintenance of the equipment, tools and infrastructure used in the underwater phase of offshore oil and gas exploration and production.
The University of Houston has created a certificate program in subsea engineering in response to the oil industry's need for these skilled engineers. The Subsea Engineering Certificate Program is the first of its kind in the United States.
Over two dozen students were enrolled this spring semester in the inaugural evening course associated with the program, flow assurance. Additional courses are being offered this fall semester. The courses are taught by recognized experts in the industry.
Nearly all of the students came to the program through either Cameron, FMC Technologies or GE Oil & Gas, companies that have been advising the UH Cullen College of Engineering on its subsea engineering program.
The new program also dovetails into UH's petroleum engineering program, which recently established an undergraduate degree program in addition to its graduate curriculum.
"The subsea certification program is the latest effort that UH has established in support of the area's energy sector," said Matthew Franchek, professor of mechanical engineering and director of subsea engineering.
"In addition to helping provide much-needed engineering talent for the state's petroleum industry and contributing to Texas' economic health, this program will be successful for another reason _ it is the first post-graduate program of any kind in subsea engineering in the U.S."
Subsea engineering typically has not been considered a distinct discipline in the U.S., but a number of universities aboard offer degree programs in the field.
"In effect, this puts Texas at a disadvantage in the global market for engineering students and engineering talent," Franchek said. "By offering this program, UH will produce students with a detailed understanding of the challenges presented by deepwater engineering and the education to overcome them. Once in the workforce, they will be able to design more reliable equipment and develop better solutions to obstacles encountered in underwater drilling."
For more information about the program and how to apply for the next course, contact Janice Quiroz at firstname.lastname@example.com.
About the University of Houston
The University of Houston is a Carnegie-designated Tier One public research university recognized by The Princeton Review as one of the nation's best colleges for undergraduate education. UH serves the globally competitive Houston and Gulf Coast Region by providing world-class faculty, experiential learning and strategic industry partnerships. Located in the nation's fourth-largest city, UH serves more than 38,500 students in the most ethnically and culturally diverse region in the country.

'The Voice' Recap: James Wolpert, Tessanne Chin Shine During First Batch of Live Rounds
Tonight's episode of 'The Voice' marked the first ep of the live rounds, where the audience got the chance to weigh in and cast their vote for their favorite singer.
The show opened with a performance of 'How I Feel' by Flo Rida, featuring 'The Voice' coach Christina Aguilera who pranced around the stage in not much more than her skivvies, and looked pretty awesome doing it.
Up first: Shelby Z from Team Blake. In her voice-over, she said that she's grateful the auditions were blind, as she's used to being judged on her physique. Personally, we think Shelby always looks fierce, with a powerful voice to match.
Blake chose 'Fancy' by Reba McEntire for Shelby to sing for her first live performance. "You gotta do Reba proud. No pressure," said Blake during his coaching session. In other words, lots of pressure. Shelby had no problem exceeding these high expectations, and the judges raved about her singing.
Carson Daly then said, "Thanks for dressing up tonight" to Blake, who was wearing casual jeans and a plaid shirt. Awkward! And speaking of outfit choices -- Cee Lo Green was wearing some sort of amazing bedazzled black velvet getup and Adam Levine was channeling Don Draper with his grey suit and majorly slicked hair. Apparently it was still Halloween on the set.
Next was James Wolpert from Team Adam, who talked about dropping out of Carnegie Mellon University to work at the Apple store because he is a "geek." Hmmm. Not sure that is the best life strategy, but hey, at least he's following his heart!
James sang a sweet version of 'A Case of You' by Joni Mitchell, and he completely crushed the song, with Adam lovingly looking on, truly a proud Papa Bear. The judges were unanimous, showering James with compliments. "You can't be a geek and be that awesome," Blake said. What is with the geek hate, Blake? Perhaps he is still feeling slighted from Carson's comment about his attire. Fair enough.
Nic Hawk took the stage for a rendition of 'Blurred Lines' by Robin Thicke. During his coaching session, Blake said, "We're going to try to get Miley to come in and twerk on you." Will we ever be able to escape the Miley Cyrus/Blurred Lines twerking scandal? The answer is no. No we won't.
Although Nic is extremely likeable due to his bubbly personality and ability to engage the audience, his vocal chops are not up to the level of his fellow Voice pals. It will be interesting to see if America chooses to keep him on, when there is so much other talent to contend with. The coaches commended his entertainment skills ("You are so fun to watch") while skillfully avoiding the topic of discussing his actual vocal performance.
Next, it was Louisiana boy Ray Boudreaux's turn from Team Blake, who sang 'Home' by Marc Broussard. Blake said this is going to be the performance of the night. Those are some mighty big words, Mr. Shelton.
Unfortunately, Blake's prediction didn't really turn out to be true, with Ray seeming as though he was struggling to hit some of those high notes. Christina said she loved the performance, and Cee Lo and Adam echoed her approval. Coach Blake was smitten as well, again showing us that 'The Voice' is more about positive affirmation than real critique.
Next, Team Blake got another shot with Austin Jenckes. Blake chose 'She Talks to Angels' by The Black Crowes. Austin talked about his mom, and called her his "rock." Aww. Austin accompanied himself on the acoustic guitar for his performance, showing us he can multitask with the best of them. With his raspy, soulful voice, Austin gave a great performance, definitely one of the best so far this evening and the coaches, of course, agreed.
Finally we go back to Team Adam, with Grey (no last name. Very hip). Adam chose Paramore's tune 'Still Into You,' and Grey performed with a full band and some very tight leather pants, channeling her inner rockstar. Typically a strong vocalist, Grey missed several notes and suffersed from a few unfortunate voice crackles. Poor Grey. Despite an outpouring on Twitter of negative reactions to Grey's performance, the judges only had kind things to say.
Will Champlin was next for Team Adam, singing his own arrangement of 'Secrets' by OneRepublic, accompanying himself on the piano. Christina praised him for hitting the high notes, and everyone agreed he did a great job. Well done, Will!
Finally, it was Preston Pohl's turn, again for Team Adam. Preston talked about his father who was diagnosed with cancer and is now cancer-free, and was there to hear him sing. Cue the tears and warm fuzzy feelings. Preston sang 'Nothin' On You' by B.O.B featuring Bruno Mars, where he was tasked with rapping in addition to singing. Preston has a naturally raspy, soulful voice and the song selection was a bit odd, but overall he did a good job with his performance. "That was so good, man," Blake said. "That was studly. Just studly." Oh Blake. We love you.
Last from Team Blake was Cole Vosbury, aka Awesome Beard. Cole is one of our favorites and based on his comfy spot on the iTunes charts, it seems we're not alone in our love for him. Cole sang 'Maggie May' by Rod Stewart and nailed it, by just being his awesome, talented, bearded self. This guy oozes raw talent. And hair. Lots of hair. The coaches all lamented their misfortune at not having Cole on their teams, as they should.
Finishing the night was Adam Levine's last team member, Tessanne Chin, singing 'Many Rivers to Cross' by Jimmy Cliff, a nod to Tessanne's Jamaican heritage. There is no denying that Tessanne is a powerhouse and a force to be reckoned with. Adam Levine gave her a standing ovation, showing perhaps a bit of favoritism to his star pupil. Cee Lo remarked, "You make me feel things." And with those shining words, the first night of live rounds on The Voice is complete!

NEW YORK — In another sign of the tentative economic recovery, the country's largest trade show saw at least a small increase in attendees, after a large drop a year ago.
According to preliminary figures, The International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas had more than 120,000 attendees last week, the Consumer Electronics Association said Monday. Its preliminary figures are usually within a few thousand of the final, audited figures.
In 2008, 141,150 people attended the annual show at the enormous Las Vegas Convention Center. Then the figure dropped sharply last year to 113,085, as the recession coincided with raised registration fees intended to keep out gawkers with no connection to the industry.
The CEA said more than 2,500 companies exhibited at the show, a figure that would be down from the 2,700 that came last year. Press and blogger attendance may also have been down significantly, from 6,000 last year to somewhere north of 5,000 this year.
Highlights of this year's show included a big push from TV manufacturers to introduce 3-D sets, as well as e-readers and tablets from other manufacturers.

Top 5 Friday: Top 5 Worst Videogame Romances
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 NEXT
Yup that was really not funny and to be honest I feel disgusted by the homophobia and hypocrisy in this video.
Can't say this man really does a good job backing up his points, and contradicts himself on multiple occasions, and isn't based of factual evidence, just biased mistakes, opinions, and theories.
Thumbs down, old chum, you fellows aren't exactly reeling me in, here.
because no one else seems smart enough I will play devil's advocate. The goal of the video is to entertain. The subject were the "worst examples of love in video games". Even though very much couple focused pacman is the exception of the rule on this list. So to beat you with the stick over the head so you get the joke I will explain the joke in minute detail to you.
Now you can comment on wether or not it is wrong to say that Pacman has a unhealthy relationship with himself getting the hots for himself in drag. It is debatable if this constitutes bad humor but the joke as shown in the video follows a certain logic and guides the viewer quite nicely to the conclusion I have given you even if you have not seen Ace Ventura to know that Ace kissed Einhorn. Of course it requires some thought.
I have just proven one point you were making. Some readers like having witty debates about mostly unimportant things. Now I will argue your point about the choices of the top five having no reason to be in their respective spots. You see the author always gives reasons why he put the couple or the individual in the spot. The Dragon Age romance was there [edit] because of how easily you could trip into the romance. Most people who want to derail this point will argue how you could not have misinterpreted the advances of our dashing elven assasin but as a matter of fact there is quite a vocal minority on the internet that begs to differ. Quite a few people just stumbled into this romance without wanting to. The ones assembled here are mostly quite aware how to avoid such traps but let us not fool ouselves that we had to aquire this awarness through long hours of playing similar games and knowing how certain triggers are signaled in a storyline of nonlinear storytelling. A great deal of people do not have this awarness.
I quite liked this episode as a joke...
It WAS intended as a satirical top 5 right?
Well in Futurama they call robot/human relations "robosexuals" so maybe robophobe? Also to me Edi and Joker would not be near the top five worst if just going by say Bioware games in all...
Hey maybe during the time skip before DS 3 started Norton was not such a douche bag, coward, backstabber?...
see my post above yours for a rather long analysis of the video
Oh wow, that made me laugh. Partly because it's true, the same thing happened to me so I guess I can't criticize him too much. I accidently walked into the Zevran trap myself, when I thought I was just being nice.
But at least it left me with an achievement and a fond memory...
Thats not the vibe I'm getting here, seemed to me that the whole Pacman thing was more aimed at the assumption that he's hooking up with himself. Which I guess equates to some form of masterbation?
I agree about the whole 'romance without sex' thing though, I personally loved the whole Joker and Edi dynamic.
I thought the guy's presentation was just awful, just stumbling and slurring every other words he's speaking. He's not in front of live audiences and with 3 man rotation, I'm sure he had all the time in the world to rehearse.
But then, why bother giving constructive criticism when there are 2 other dudes doesn't do well with this content?
well that was somewhat surprising o.O
Maybe I'm not properly acquainted with the Mario universe, but are Mario and Peach SUPPOSED to have a serious relationship? Is Mario really saving Peach just because he's trying to get in her pants? Do things really work that way?
I am sick of hearing this stupid thing with Mario risking his life to save the most important person in Mushroom Kingdom to be left with nothing but a peck on the nose and a pair of blue balls, and I also think it worsens the opinion on genders: women are a bunch of oblivious bubbleheads who friendzone nice guys in favor of douchebags that will most likely fail to commit, or provide, or whatever you're supposed to do in a relationship for it to work, and men are insatiable roosters who want nothing more than getting familiar with as many cock-docks as possible. What if they have nothing in common, if we must really give personality to two constructions of ones and zeros that exist solely for the purpose of one being kidnapped so that the player can jump on turtles with the other anyway. Or maybe Mario declines any advances or rewards from Peach because he's not into women, or because he has to remain a lonely hermit hero, as some obscure religious cult demands that a good-doing plumber-monk should be, I mean this situation doesn't seem to be explained, so the possibilities are endless. But no, we just stick to this idiotic presumption that Peach just can't get the point that Mario wants to put his little plumber in her. If he's so sexually deprived he puts the vague possibility of having sex before his life, why doesn't he just screw a mushroom boy, or jerk off?
Yeah, it's funny. I don't think Nintendo's ever, it a quarter century, ever actually clarified Mario and Peach's relationship.
Cross-species marriage is still a biological relationship, so human/robot marriage/love - especially if you believe in souls - is essentially masturbation but with an interactive object. If you fall in love with a robot you're loving the illusion of a personality and essentially sleeping with a hyper-advanced sex-doll. Once again if you believe in souls and their connection to love, it's only real love if there's a connection in souls so...yeah...
Anyways, as for pacman and ms. pacman, although Dorkly made the drag joke before and Robot Chicken already pointed this out with the Disney crew, it's just sexual narcissism, not a regular same-sex union.
And he said he was cool with same-sex marriage, he never said he wasn't a xenophobe or a robophobe or whatever.
Clarified hers and Bowser's as a sexual one with at least one child...
James Sunderland and Maria in Silent Hill 2?
I did't say he gave no reasons just that they are really poor.
This awareness how you call it would be common sense in this case. Have you seen the romance with him? It might be true that you easily give him the impression that he may has chances with you, but to sleep with him you would have to like I said ignore the dialogue and klick something or be totally stupid.
So we are in agreement. You see my argument was aimed at that attitude you are presenting. Thinking this awarness as I call it is commmon sense is the high stuck attitude of a self entitled gamer culture who does not reflect upon its own weltanschauung and how it works thus just being arrogant towards anyone who is not that deep into the trenches of gaming culture as oneself and understanding how choices are presented within the nonlinear storytelling of the particular genre we are currently discussing.
No by no means I am calling you the "greatest homophobe ever". The "you" is the not direct "you" as in "anyone" or "someone". I am not a native speaker of the enlgish language but the english language has the use of "you" meaning "someone" but not "you in particular". This was meant as a general statment in my argument as in "if someone put the romance higher on a list this someone would be accused of being the greatest homophobe ever". Putting it further into context I stated how this list consistet of popular and recognizable choices and the same sex romance of Dragon Age is well known.
Seeing how someone who says that the escapist is known for witty arguments is himself not that witty it hurts my heart. If you had read the post of me you are quoting from you would know better than to call the relationship of pacman as presented in the video and for the sake of the joke gay. The joke is that Pacman is literaly (look up the word if you dont know the denotation of literal) Ms. Pacman him/herself and not in love with someone else. That is not "homo" that is narcism. Look that word up. I have the suspicion you are not a native speaker and have not that broad of a vocabulary.
Shouldn't Zelda and Link have been on this list as well? They seem to have something similar to Mario and Peach.
I actually liked Joker and EDI's relationship too. She may have been an AI, but she was also his ship and since he was the pilot it fit even better. They went through a lot together, and if you pick the synthesis ending, like I did, they end up as equals in a way.
Would love to see him rage in the game
1. Lisa Foiles was better at this
wouldn't be kinda semi-bestiality and necrophilia put together??
Maybe Kimahri and Tidus would be a better couple
Well. I watched expecting something well-reasoned and thought out--or failing that, funny--but I came out mostly disappointed as this video was neither. I didn't find Jovenshire as awkward in front of a camera as others did. My issues came from the content itself.
The reasoning behind these is very weak. The example with Mr. and Ms. Pac-man was superficial at best and offensive at worst. He even prefaced number five with "I have nothing against romance between two men" too, and yet the argument in #2 came off as "Ms. Pac-man is a man", considering his reliance on the "Einhorn is a MAN" joke. If he had refrained from relying on that joke to carry his reasoning this could probably have been avoided and passed off as "Pac-man is dating himself". That's less offensive, but still fallacious. It's entirely speculation based on sprite limitations in 1982. If Namco said they're separate characters, they're separate characters.
On the same line of thought, number five was a complaint about the dialogue system. It had nothing to do with the romance itself.
Additionally, his list is comprised of apples and oranges. #2 and #1 aren't even romances in the same sense as his other examples. I don't know anyone who plays Super Mario games for story or rich characterizations, and I'm not sure Pac-man and/or Ms. Pac-man have stories or characterizations to speak of. How can you possibly compare them to e.g. Dragon Age, a series that actually puts a lot of effort in attempting to have believable characters and romances?
In fact, the only entry in which he actually brushed on the chemistry between the two characters was in number four, but only barely.
In short: Didn't find it funny or insightful, and hardly talked about the intended topic. Didn't achieve what it aimed to do. Sorry bud.
Wait... what? Did I miss something along the way?
I think they're referring to Super Mario Sunshine, in which Baby Bowser is ostensibly Peach's son? But it gets revealed at the end that he's not really.
Oh man... Every time I hear about romance, I die a little inside.
...Because for some reason, I can't feel love for any normal human being. And I can't even be bothered to have any kind of attraction, even sexual, without it.
So, my personal most hated romance? All real ones.
I mean, every time I see two people kissing I roll my eyes; they rarely if ever actually seem to be in any kind of "Serious Relationship". They are just freaking looking like they are playing around. No, really, the way most young people kiss in real life is way too playful to look like there's anything actually going on under the surface.
Real relationships, as I've seen them, are just a freaking game for these people.
Really, do they even know how to establish an actual dynamic to base a romantic relationship on?
That's kind of what TRUE romance SHOULD be: Two people joining together to provide a specific role to make both feel complete. The Vulnerable one finding one to Protect them, a Student and their Teacher, Leader and Follower, Two Rivals in competition, Healer and Guy who takes a lot of hits.
You know how many times I've seen one of these roles, or any role, actually played out in reality?
You know how many times I've seen relationships fall apart because they didn't have a role like this holding them together?
At least movies understand the need for a real dynamic to make a relationship work. Real people seem to be unable to understand that true love is something that is built on the bones of a relationship that actually makes both of you stronger.
Guys, I hate to say it, but I think Romance is dead.
... And it's not coming back from the grave until we learn exactly what it is we personally need out of our relationships before we pursue them.
Me? I need a girl who can keep me pointed in the right direction. Some kind of leader. One with awe inspiring confidence and determination, and is able to inspire it in me. Preferably able to lead from both the commander's tent and from the head of the army, as a great general and Warrior. And in return, I will be her most Loyal Knight, performing whatever duties she requires of me, and for the most part, working alongside her in the thick of whatever we strive towards.
... Doubt that will actually happen though. Regardless of if we're talking metaphorical or Literal...
That stuff just refuses to fly.
Well that was painful to watch I wonder if he can pull a Jim and have me like him eventually I doubt it though.
On the other hand if any of you folks want videos containing Joshua (The dude in this video) that are actually funny.....
I'm a fan of the Friendzone when it comes to the Mario, Zelda, &Batman, I don't care who the pairing is.
Otacon and Niaomi is MGS4
In agreement about what exactly. I don't see how I agree with you on anything about the DA romance.
PS: Yeah I later got what you were trying to say myself that's why I edited my post, but you were faster :P
PPS: Wow you can use Weltanschauung as an English word, even though there is "worldview" guess you never stop learning :0
Well congratulations for being so witty and arrogant then! You are right I'm not a native speaker and I did misunderstand what he was trying to say about Pacman. Mainly because I never watched Ace Ventura and didn't bother to look up what he meant by that reference. Maybe you should look "literaly" up and discover that it is written "literally", sorry for being a grammar nazi but you come off way to arrogant.
Right, I've watched the first 3 to let every presenter have a chance now, and this series is a definite no.
Before I get into the content of the video itself, this series has the lowest production values of anything I've ever seen on the Escapist, and I've been here for years.
On the parts where the host is in front of the standard red background, the aliasing is worse than anything I've seen since the ZX Spectrum. What software are you guys using? because you're definitely not doing it right.
As for this Top 5, the presenter is less awkward than the guy from last week, but as far as I'm concerned none of his attempts at humour worked remotely.
He also comes across as somewhat bigoted if not homophobic.
TLDR: I've given this a fair shot with all 3 hosts, and won't be watching more.
For those who believe in that one, it's not that Bowser Jr. is confirmed as Peach's son, because as mentioned, he is not.
It is the really weird fact that when Bowser Jr. announces that he is Peach's son, she doesn't think that this is an odd statement or unlikely. Peach is either so embarrassingly naive that she doesn't know where babies come from (which is possible, I suppose) or she has, at some point, had babies with Bowser.
Allow me to politely suggest that the problem here may not be with Romance.
Amen to that. I thought this the first week, actually stated it the second week, and am now giving up on the series this third week.
Nothing is changing at all with this series. I don't know who these guys are or why their opinion should matter over the millions of other voices out on the internet. The lists have all just been generic and boring. Lastly, the production values look like something I'd expect out of a college project, NOT a group of guys who are actually receiving money to do this. All three presenters stumble over their own words and stand in front of a generic background.
If something changes I might come back eventually but at this point, I'm just going to have to write this video off as a decent try that fell flat until it proves to me otherwise.
I agree with you, there. I was kind of surprised that they hooked up to begin with. I know that they've been through a lot in Dead Space 2, but I didn't think that warranted any sort of romance between them. I've heard that there's suppose to be a book that covers the events that happen between the 2nd and 3rd game. Maybe the answers are in there. Otherwise, yeah. I hate that they dumbed her down to generic "love fodder"/"damsel in distress" for Issac.
My own personal vote goes to Ellise & Sonic from Sonic '06. Just ...... no. The "romance" (If you can call it that) was just weak and creepy. I also hate Ellise as a character.
I'm always reminded of the same thing when people are naming the worst X ever.
It's one thing to be the supposed best at something because quality is hard to obtain, but mediocrity is easy.
Not funny, and kind of homophobic. Why is this show on EscapistMagazine, my favourite website?

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas dares to be different. From the hotel's red reservations desks to fine art found throughout the resort, The Cosmopolitan's signature style is helping to pave its own path on the Las Vegas Strip.
Upon entering the resort, you're greeted by pillars of video boards playing video art by Digital Kitchen and David Rockwell Studio exclusively produced for The Cosmopolitan. Just beyond that, you'll find all your favorite casino games on the resort's 100,000-square-foot casino floor.
The Cosmopolitan's rooms standout as the resort's most unique feature. About 2,220 of The Cosmopolitan's 2,995 rooms have 6-foot deep terraces that span the length of the room, a first at a modern Strip hotel. Other in-room amenities include soaking tubs, kitchenettes and quirky accessories like artsy coffee table books.
The dining experience at The Cosmopolitan isn't something you'll find at other Strip resorts, either. All of The Cosmopolitan's 13 restaurateurs are new to the Las Vegas market. You'll find American steakhouse fare in a modern setting at STK, top-notch sushi at Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill and the freshest fish flown in from the Mediterranean daily at Estiatorio Milos.
Whether the sun is up or down, Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub is the place to find the party at The Cosmopolitan. The venue is a dayclub/nightclub, complete with a pool and cabanas outside and three different rooms with three different vibes inside.
If nightclubs aren't your thing, you can grab a drink at one of The Cosmopolitan's five other bars, like The Chandelier, which is encased in 2 million dripping crystals.

- "Some motherfucker's been calling me a phony, calling me a snitch, calling me all kinds of bullshit."
- ―Playboy X.
- "Big deal."
- ―Niko Bellic.
- "Yeah, big deal. Damn right! Until I discovered, that same motherfucker? Well...he's got some real loose lips."
- ―Playboy X.
Photo Shoot is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV given to protagonist Niko Bellic by North Holland Hustlers's leader Playboy X from his penthouse on Xenotime St in Northwood, Algonquin, Liberty City.
Playboy suspects that Marlon Bridges had been ratting on Playboy. He wants Niko to go to the Swinger Park basketball courts on Exeter Avenue between X and W to kill the snitch. Niko doesn't know how he looks like and Playboy tries to explain his appearance. After a while of explaining and Niko still not understanding it, Playboy gives Niko his own upgraded cell phone to take a picture so he can tell Niko which one to kill. Niko heads to the basketball court, takes the picture (and is requested for a proper one if he doesn't take a good enough one), and sends it to Playboy. Playboy calls back and tells Niko which one to kill. Niko successfully kills Marlon.m
If you aim a gun at any of the gang members before the target is identified, the game forces you to kill all of them, and you will fail the mission if one of them gets away because of how it would be impossible to find which one was the target without Playboy's comfirmation text.
- Park on the opposite side of the road facing Marlon Bridges.
- Take a photo of him and send it to Playboy X.
- After Playboy X identifies him, pull out your Sniper Rifle.
- Quickly aim at Marlon's head and shoot him.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to the Swinger Park on Exeter Avenue.
- Take a picture of the gang members and send it to Playboy. Don't get too close.
- Take down Marlon.
Video Walkthrough
The rewards for completing this mission is $6,750 and an upgraded cell phone with camera function. The missions The Holland Play and Wrong is Right are unlocked.
- Marlon Bridges (killed) - Killed by Niko on Playboy X's orders.
- North Holland Hustlers (wounded/killed) - Wounded or killed by Niko to reach Marlon.
- Strangely, the phone Niko receives from Playboy is a different, blockier phone (equal to the standard Whiz wireless phone used by the usual pedestrians and by Roman), but Niko's phone doesn't change (he still uses the same Badger phone throughout the game, albeit with the Whiz phone's features).
- This mission needs to be completed to unlock "Ransom" as that mission requires use of the camera.
- Despite being ordered to kill just Marlon, if you shoot him his friends will attack you and you will have to kill them too, so the mission would be simpler if Niko just killed them all from the beginning. Probably that is just an excuse to give the player the new phone.
- A rather interesting way of doing this mission is to head to the Pay 'N' Spray around the corner of the basketball court, and to climb the ladder behind it. Keep climbing ladders until you reach the firehouse's roof. From here, there is a perfect opportunity to snipe Marlon and his friends without them having a chance to fire back.
- This mission literally refers to it's name, photo shoot. As your goal is to take the photo of the gang, send it to Playboy, and then shoot Marlon.
- When you get to the courts there is always a black and dark gray Sabre across the road.

Magic sign former Hawkeye Devyn Marble
Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The Orlando Magic will have all three of their draft picks in training camp following the signing of second-round pick Devyn Marble.
Magic general manager Rob Hennigan announced the signing of the 56th pick Thursday. Terms were not disclosed. Marble joins fellow Magic first-round selections Aaron Gordon and Elfrid Payton, who have already signed contracts.
Orlando picked up the extra pick on draft night, along with Evan Fournier, by trading veteran Arron Afflalo to Denver.
The 6-foot-6 Marble finished his career at Iowa as the school's fifth all-time leading scorer, averaging 17 points and 3.6 assists as a senior. The son of former NBA player Roy Marble, the younger Marble was a first-team All-Big Ten selection.

The following, if and when done, should also address directly changes in the OS or architecture of the "new" server as compared to the old production server you were moving from.
- "QA & Document OS upgrades & platform changes with major release"
Basic Assumptions
- 1. OS Type & Version
- This article makes the assumption your moving to the same OS type & version. For example, your OLDPROD machine is running RHEL4-64bit. So your new machine would be running the same and brought to the same patch level as well.
- 2. Same HOSTNAME
- New server is setup with the same HOSTNAME information as OLDPROD but it will use a different IP until OLDPROD can be shutoff/reconfigured (if needed)
- 3. Different IP Issues - Either For Testing Or As A Permanent Change
- Problems that are caused by different ip's being in use related to zcs variables will usually show up on the NEWHOST where services [usually mailboxd] can't successfully start.
- Note about command examples below.
- I used `zmhostname` rather than typing out an explicit hostname.
- I also included the -l option for the zmprov ms examples since the NEWHOST most likely will only be able to start the ldap service until you have these variables changed.
- One example variable to look for:
zmprov gs `zmhostname` zimbraLmtpBindAddress
- To modify on NEWHOST - as zimbra
zmprov -l ms `zmhostname` zimbraLmtpBindAddress "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX"
- replace XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX with the ip address on the NEWHOST
- Another example variable to look for - this would be an issue if the NEWHOST is on a different subnet than OLDPROD :
zmprov gs `zmhostname` zimbraMtaMyNetworks
- An examaple to modify on the NEWHOST - as zimbra
zmprov -l ms `zmhostname` zimbraMtaMyNetworks '127.0.0.0/8 10.10.130.0/24'
- Note about command examples below.
- Since there are many possible variable that might include a specific ip reference, it would be best to do something like the following on the OLDPROD and review the possible variables you might have set that are using an explicit ip address.
- Problems that are caused by different ip's being in use related to zcs variables will usually show up on the NEWHOST where services [usually mailboxd] can't successfully start.
- su - zimbra
- ip addr
- ifconfig -a
- [ NOTE THE IP's BEING USED - You'll grep for the first octet below ]
- [ For example, my server's eth0 is using 192.168.0.71 ]
- zmlocalconfig | grep 192
- [192 is based upon my example]
- zmprov gacf | grep 192
- zmprov gs `zmhostname` | grep 192
- If your moving from 32bit to 32bit and the new system has more than 4GB of memory and the older one didn't you will most likely need to adjust mailboxd_java_heap_memory_percent . This problem will show up as the mailbox stop starting and /opt/zimbra/log/zmmailboxd.out logging errors about JVM memory heap. Try the following:
- su - zimbra
- zmlocalconfig -e mailboxd_java_heap_memory_percent=25
- zmmailboxdctl restart
Important Advise About Testing Or Practicing This How-To
- We strongly encourage customers to 'test' this how-to prior to scheduling
- your final downtime for the production server to be moved.
If you plan accordingly, you'll only need two downtime windows on the production server to include this testing. These downtime windows will be much shorter using rsync versus other means to do your server move.
To allow for this recommend testing, please adjust the how-to steps below with the following information. Since at some point you'll have to shutdown zimbra on the production server to get your final rsync, you should preserve the rsync'd data on the NEWHOST if you have the available disk space.
Alternation to the rsync targets:
- rsync OLDPROD:/opt/zimbra data to NEWHOST:/opt/zimbra-BACKUP rather than NEWHOST:/opt/zimbra .
- Then rsync or cp [with appropriate option flags] to NEWHOST:/opt/zimbra .
- Leaving the NEWHOST:/opt/zimbra-BACKUP intact for later reuse for testing and etc..
For retesting purposes, you have two possible methods.
- First - jut rsync over the NEWHOST:/opt/zimbra directory
- You would use the rsync command that includes the --delete option, since we want NEWHOST:/opt/zimbra to be exactly the same as NEWHOST:/opt/zimbra-BACKUP .
- Second - remove NEWHOST:/opt/zimbra and then rsync NEWHOST:/opt/zimbra-BACKUP [copying anything over again into a new and empty NEWHOST:/opt/zimbra ]
- run the uninstall option via the zimbra installation script - install.sh -u - on the NEWHOST.
- [NEWHOST] rm -rf /opt/zimbra . We want to confirm all files are gone.
- Remove any 'zimbra' files in /tmp
- And now restart the how-to with a clean zcs installation followed by another rsync of NEWHOST:/opt/zimbra-BACKUP to NEWHOST:/opt/zimbra .
- Note - I just used /opt/zimbra above, you'll need to include other data/zmvolume paths as well if you have them.
Final word of advise, please consider installing bind or some other DNS service on your NEWHOST so you can handle resolution locally on that server to resolve to the different ip address the NEWHOST is using. Consult Ajcody-Hostname-DNS and Split_DNS for more details.
The Actual Steps
Preparing NEWHOST Server
- Please Note - DO NOT USE CRON WHEN SYNCING YOUR SERVER!
- You should always run the rsync command manually. If you fail to do so, and then complete the migration without removing the cron job that did the sync's, and you leave the old server running, you will lose data. The sync will then kick off again when cron runs and overwrite your production data! This will very likely corrupt your installation and leave you with an unstable system!
Install OS
- Install on the NEWHOST a supported operating system for the current ZCS version running on the OLDPROD
Configure Hostaname And DNS Resolution
- Set up NEWHOST ZCS Server's Hostname as it was on the older server
- Configure BIND locally on NEWHOST to handle resolution issues (A, MX, etc.)
- On NEWHOST confirm /etc/hosts , /etc/resolv.conf
Download Needed ZCS Version
- Download the EXACT version of ZCS that your OLDPROD is using for the OS that was installed on the NEWHOST.
Configure Zimbra UID and GID
- ZIMBRA User And UID Match
- On OLDPROD as ZIMBRA:
zmlocalconfig zimbra_uid
- On OLDPROD, note the zimbra entry in /etc/passwd and /etc/group.
- On NEWHOST configure the /etc/passwd to be the same UID for zimbra as the OLDPROD had.
- On NEWHOST configure the entry for zimbra in the OLDPROD's /etc/group to match for zimbra as well.
- On OLDPROD as ZIMBRA:
Initial ZCS Install On NEWHOST
- Initial ZCS install on NEWHOST
- On NEWHOST as ROOT , run the installer with the -s option:
./install.sh -s
- This tells the installer to only install the software, and not to configure the installation.
- To see what is installed and enabled on the PROD server, do the following on the PROD server as ZIMBRA:
zmprov gs `zmhostname` | grep zimbraService
- Save this list, you'll need it also when you rerun the installer later on the NEWHOST to confirm the "upgrade" does the right package upgrades/installs.
- On NEWHOST as ROOT , run the installer with the -s option:
- Preserving the 64bit zimbramon directory
- On NEWHOST as ROOT: Move the zimbramon directory [if it exists] to /opt/zimbramon
mv /opt/zimbra/zimbramon /opt/zimbramon-64
- On NEWHOST as ROOT: Move the zimbramon directory [if it exists] to /opt/zimbramon
- On NEWHOST as ROOT: Remove the dummy install:
rm -rf /opt/zimbra ; mkdir /opt/zimbra
- On NEWHOST, make any other mounts or directories you'll need as to match the OLDPROD server.
- Secondary mailstores, alternative backup directory paths, etc.
- On OLDPROD, double check for these additional mounts by doing:
- reviewing /etc/fstab and output of the df command.
- run, as ZIMBRA, the following: zmvolume -l and review the output and directory paths.
Sync OLDPROD Data While OLDPROD Is Still In Production Use
- Please Note - DO NOT USE CRON WHEN SYNCING YOUR SERVER!
- You should always run the rsync command manually. If you fail to do so, and then complete the migration without removing the cron job that did the sync's, and you leave the old server running, you will lose data. The sync will then kick off again when cron runs and overwrite your production data! This will very likely corrupt your installation and leave you with an unstable system!
- Preliminary Comments About RSYNC
- Rsync options used below.
- I've added the -H option to the rsync command to preserve hard links.
- -H, --hard-links , preserves hard links
- -a, --archive . This is equivalent to -rlptgoD .
- From man page:
- It is a quick way of saying you want recursion and want to preserve almost everything (with -H being a notable omission). The only exception to the above equivalence is when --files-from is specified, in which case -r is not implied. Note that -a does not preserve hardlinks, because finding multiply-linked files is expensive. You must separately specify -H.
- From man page:
- -z, --compress
- From man page:
- With this option, rsync compresses the file data as it is sent to the destination machine, which reduces the amount of data being transmitted -- something that is useful over a slow connection.
- From man page:
- I've added the -H option to the rsync command to preserve hard links.
- You should upgrade rsync on both servers to version 3+. It addresses some performance issues. Please see the following for more details.
- Nice and the numeric ranger, from RHEL5 nice man page:
- Nicenesses range from -20 (most favorable scheduling) to 19 (least favorable).
- -n, --adjustment=N add integer N to the niceness (default 10)
- Rsync options used below.
Initial Rsync Of OLDPROD To NEWHOST
- First initial sync of OLDPROD to NEWHOST
- on OLDPROD as ROOT do the following [Note, some distro's might require "nice +19 rsync vs. nice -n +19 rsync"]
nice -n +19 rsync -avzH -e ssh --progress /opt/zimbra/ root@NEWHOSTIP:/opt/zimbra
- For ZCS8+ , YOU HAVE TO EXCLUDE THE LDAP DB DIRECTORY [default path is /opt/zimbra/data/ldap ] in your RSYNC command.
- On my test box, Ubuntu 12.10 , the syntax for rsync to exclude the default ldap path would be :
nice -n +19 rsync -avzH --exclude='data/ldap/*' -e ssh --progress /opt/zimbra/ root@NEWHOSTIP:/opt/zimbra
- The reason is because of the file size allocation [virtual] that happens with the ldap db now, see the following:
- Do the same with other paths you might have - i.e. secondary volumes.
- [as zimbra] zmvolume -l
- on OLDPROD as ROOT do the following [Note, some distro's might require "nice +19 rsync vs. nice -n +19 rsync"]
Rsync's To Do After Initial One Until Schedule Move Transition
- Sync daily until schedule downtime is available
- On OLDPROD as Root
nice -n +19 rsync -avzH -e ssh --progress /opt/zimbra/ root@NEWHOSTIP:/opt/zimbra
- For ZCS8+ , YOU HAVE TO EXCLUDE THE LDAP DB DIRECTORY [default path is /opt/zimbra/data/ldap ] in your RSYNC command.
- On my test box, Ubuntu 12.10 , the syntax for rsync to exclude the default ldap path would be :
nice -n +19 rsync -avzH --exclude='data/ldap/*' -e ssh --progress /opt/zimbra/ root@NEWHOSTIP:/opt/zimbra
- Do the same with other paths you might have - i.e. secondary volumes.
- Some distro's, might want this format for nice :
nice +19 rsync ....
- Extra Point Comment
- One could also use a more aggressive nice value to start a job after hours but then include a renice command via cron prior to your normal business hours the next day. You would need to script this out though since it would need the process # of the command you wanted to renice.
- On OLDPROD as Root
The Big Day - OLDPROD Downtime For Switch
Block Client Access To OLDPROD's IP Address With Firewall - IPTables
- If your remote, make sure to keep your access port open. We are just trying to prevent any changes to the machines while they are being reconfigured.
Do Backup of LDAP DATA on OLDPROD
- Note - this wiki page only applies to ZCS 6 and later
- Create an LDAP dump directory. As root, type
mkdir /opt/ldap-backup ; chown zimbra:zimbra /opt/ldap-backup
- Stop ZCS on OLDPROD, as zimbra type
su - zimbra ; zmcontrol stop
- Backup the LDAP config database, as zimbra, type
/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmslapcat -c /opt/ldap-backup
- Backup the LDAP data, as zimbra, type
/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmslapcat /opt/ldap-backup
Confirm LDAP In Good State
- Get LDAP in a good state prior to the final rsync [as recommend by our LDAP developer - 12/1/2012]
- For Versions Prior to ZCS8 , use db_recover - see the following reference for your version:
- For ZCS8 , db_recover isn't needed. You must include the -S option though for rsync.
Final Rsync of OLDPROD to NEWHOST
- Please ensure that you have the Zimbra server STOPPED on BOTH OLDPROD and NEWHOST before performing the final rsync. If you're using this method to test your server move, you must schedule downtime to stop the server before performing the final sync. This is required, and failure to do so will result in corruption of your mysql/ldap databases on the test server.
- Final Rsync, On OLDPROD as ROOT run:
nice -n -20 rsync -avzHS -e ssh --delete --progress /opt/zimbra/ root@NEWHOSTIP:/opt/zimbra
- UPDATE : I've added the -H option to the rsync command to preserve hard links.
- UPDATE : I've added the -S option to the rsync command to handle sparse files. With ZCS8's ldap setup, this is necessary. See OpenLDAP_Performance_Tuning_8.0#Notes_on_MDB for details. 12/1/2012
- Do the same with other paths you might have - i.e. secondary volumes.
- Some distro's, might want this format for nice, "nice -20 rsync" vs. "nice -n -20"
Fix the zimbramon directory
- On NEWHOST as ROOT run
mv /opt/zimbra/zimbramon /opt/zimbramon-32 ; mv /opt/zimbramon-64 /opt/zimbra/zimbramon
Bring over the LDAP Data from OLDPROD To the NEWHOST
- For 6.0.x and later LDAP data:
- Restore the LDAP data to the NEWHOST. On NEWHOST as ZIMBRA, type
rm -rf /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/config/*
rm -rf /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/hdb/*
mkdir -p /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/hdb/db /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/hdb/logs
- If this is an ldap master with replicas. On NEWHOST as ZIMBRA, type:
rm -rf /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/accesslog/*
mkdir -p /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/accesslog/db /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/accesslog/logs
- Copy the file /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/hdb/db/DB_CONFIG from the OLDPROD to /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/hdb/db on the NEWHOST.
- Note: If this file does not exist, or is empty, creating it may improve ldap performance; see the Performance Tuning Guide for more information.
- Set permissions on the ldap directory. On NEWHOST as ZIMBRA, type: [If you can't as ZIMBRA, use ROOT]
chown -R zimbra:zimbra /opt/zimbra/data/ldap
- Copy from the OLDPROD to the NEWHOST the /opt/ldap-backup/ldap-config.bak and /opt/ldap-backup/ldap.bak files to NEWHOST:/opt/ldap-backup/
- Restoring the LDAP data onto NEWHOST.
- Adjust the directory path of /opt/ldap-backup/ in the commands below if you have the ldap-config.bak & ldap.bak in a different location.
- On NEWHOST as ZIMBRA, type
/opt/zimbra/openldap/sbin/slapadd -q -n 0 -F /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/config -cv -l /opt/ldap-backup/ldap-config.bak
/opt/zimbra/openldap/sbin/slapadd -q -b "" -F /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/config -cv -l /opt/ldap-backup/ldap.bak
Fix permissions on NEWHOST
- On NEWHOST as ROOT run
/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmfixperms --verbose --extended
Turn off OLDPROD and reconfigure NEWHOST
- This is a good time to turn off OLDPROD.
- Reconfigure network interfaces so if someone turns on OLDPROD later, it will not use the ip addresses that will now be used on NEWHOST.
- Reconfigure any mounts (san, nfs, iscsi, etc.) so it will not mount anything that should only be mounted on our NEWHOST. Again, in case the machine is powered on accidentally later.
- Reconfigure NEWHOST to take over ip addresses of OLDPROD.
- Make any firewall or other network changes that are necessary.
- Remember about arp tables.
- Make any firewall or other network changes that are necessary.
- Reconfigure for any mounts that were on OLDPROD that will be needed for NEWHOST.
Special Check For DNS, IP Address, And Hostname Configurations
If you have a Split DNS install or use private LAN addresses on the server with a firewall front-ending the public addresses, you'll want to verify logical hostname resolution and hostname resolution. In some cases, you can move Zimbra to another server with a different hostname but keep the logical hostname the same. The logical hostname is what users know this server as, and it doesn't necessarily have to match the actual hostname. For example, you might have "mail.mydomain.com" as the DNS name for the server, but the hostname is "web11233"
- You need to have the server itself resolve the logical hostname, the old hostname and the new hostname as the internal private LAN address.
host `hostname`
host (logical hostname)
nslookup `hostname`
nslookup (logical hostname)
nslookup (old hostname)
nslookup (old hostname)
- You want all these to look the same. You can follow instructions at Split_dns. Essentially what that does is have a local copy of bind (named) running that resolves just those names and forwards all other lookups to your normal DNS servers.
Install of Zimbra on NEWHOST
- On NEWHOST as ROOT, rerun the installer without the -s option
- It will detect ZCS already installed, and ask if you want to upgrade. Select Yes.
- You can confirm the package installation/upgrade selection by comparing the output from the OLDPROD host by running this on the OLDPROD host
zmprov gs `zmhostname` | grep zimbraService
- Note - If in the configuration screen it looks like it doesn't have your old values, then the localconfig.xml in /opt/zimbra/conf must of been altered. To fix:
- Stop/cancel the install - you'll see an option for it from the list of options.
- Copy from your OLDPROD's /opt/zimbra/conf/ directory the localconfig.xml file to the NEWHOST's /opt/zimbra/conf/ directory.
- Restart the the installation again with ./install.sh
- If that failed to fixed the install configuration screen situation, redo the above but also remove /opt/zimbra/.saveconfig from NEWHOST and copy that directory from OLDPROD.
- Within the installation script, you might want to choose the option that tells Zimbra to NOT automatically start upon completion of upgrade/install.
- You can confirm the package installation/upgrade selection by comparing the output from the OLDPROD host by running this on the OLDPROD host
Post-Install on NEWHOST
- This document assumes you were going to get the same hostname and ip address once the final move was done. In case this isn't true, below are some follow up issues you might want to check. You might of done some of these already.
- Do you need to make adjustments for commercial certificates?
- Reconfigure any network interface/ip information that you need because of hardware move.
- Make necessary adjustments you might need because of hostname changes. ( see ZmSetServerName )
- Adjust any firewall settings
- If ip address is going to be different, make sure you know the settings you'll need to adjust within Zimbra (if any).
- If ip address is going to be the same, remember your network will take awhile to see change as the new MAC address gets updated to other devices arp table.
- If you can, you can speed this along with changes on your switches.
- This document assumes you were going to get the same hostname and ip address once the final move was done. In case this isn't true, below are some follow up issues you might want to check. You might of done some of these already.
Bringing Up Zimbra On NEWHOST For Production Use
- Start zimbra once you think everything is ready.
- Do some client access tests within your LAN.
- If testing looks good, the remove any firewall rules you might of done to block access from outside. Then confirm outside access and functionality.
- Remember to check those mobile devices, certificates, and other access software/devices besides just the Zimbra webclient.
Things To Check Before Going Production Again
See the post checks from the DR page:

Getting The Most from Social Media
How a tri-branding strategy promotes all you have to offer.
View article.
Originally published: 05.01.13 by Bob Kelleher
There's no denying that social media has taken the world by storm. Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter boast millions of users. Social media is now an everyday tool used for customer engagement, staffing, retention, and increasingly — branding. Its omnipresence has enabled what I call tri-branding.
Tri-branding happens when companies use social media to link both product and employment brand, and also get their customers to sing their praises. Instead of treating these as separate promotional endeavors, use social media to present a singular brand that raises awareness across the board.
You can boost your brand via tweeting, posting, and blogging. News on recently completed jobs, new products and services, job openings, key promotions and hires, and press releases are all opportunities to promote your company's brand using social media tools.
Powerful Video Posts
One of the ways tri-branding returns benefits is when your customers promote you on your behalf. When keynoting, I often show a YouTube video of a Southwest airlines flight attendant singing a country song as part of her opening comments to fellow passengers to "buckle up." This video has now been seen by millions of viewers. Think of the benefits of this example for Southwest Airlines:
Take Control of Social Media
Unless you take control of social media, you risk social media taking control of you. This starts by having a system to screen content to make sure it is accurate and respond quickly if someone points out that it is not.
Think about what happened with Subway recently. Customer Matt Corby from Australia was innocently eating the fast food chain's signature "foot long" sub, when he noticed that the sandwich appeared smaller than advertised. He measured the sandwich, and discovered it was 11 inches long. So he decided to post a photo of his discovery on Subway's Facebook page, positioning his sub next to a tape measure along with the message "subway pls respond." Corby's photo was seen by thousands of Subway customers, and even resulted in copycat photos all over the social networking site, including one featuring a sandwich compared to a human foot in a sock. Subway had a PR nightmare on its hands. Remarkably, some disgruntled Subway customers even filed lawsuits against the fast food chain, claiming false advertising.
That is where we are with social media today — it's not going away — and staying away from it because you fear it would be a mistake.
When I address audiences, I remind them that once upon a time, we would lock our rotary telephones so employees wouldn't "steal" company resources by calling their relatives or friends with the toll-free telephone line. I also recall a company lawyer storming into my office one day exclaiming, "You're not really going to allow our employees to have access to email, are you? They'll steal our intellectual property!" As we reflect back, these concerns seem ridiculous and illustrate that if you're not embracing and leveraging social media, you are keeping yourself in place while the rest of the world moves on. And if you don't have control of how your brand is portrayed on social media, the bad could quickly outweigh the good.
Concentrate on the Positive
Instead of viewing social media as a danger, focus on its opportunities, especially for finding good employees. When you get current employees engaged, they not only will be promoting your brand to customers, but also to potential employees who otherwise would miss an opportunity to join your company because you don't use social media.
Identify their most "connected" employees and ask if they would be interested in being brand ambassadors, and tweet new products and or services, advertise new developments, post new positions, etc.
Social media should be used to further leverage one's employer value proposition. When I work with new clients, the first thing I do is to help them define who they are. Why do people stay with their company? Why do people want to work for their company? Who are their stars, and what are the common behaviors and traits their stars possess?
One company that uses lots of videos to promote its culture to both customers and future employees is Halco Heating in Upstate New York (www.halcoenergy.com). In the YouTube video "Job Opportunities in Syracuse and Finger Lakes/Work for Halco," President Hal Smith talks not only about how the company's scheduling model has done away with overtime but also about growing opportunities in renewable energy such as geothermal. Interested technicians and other viewers learn not only about the technician schedule but also that Halco is a "green" company and provides the latest heating and cooling technology.
In another video about customer service, Smith brings up the no-overtime benefit again, stating that it allows the company to provide a fully staffed office and immediate service until 9 p.m. seven days a week. He then explains that they have a live answering service for calls after 9 p.m., so "when you call Halco, you'll never get an answering machine. It's our way to provide extraordinary, excellent customer service."

Imported methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, SwedenArchived
The authors analyzed data on 444 imported cases of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Sweden during the period 2000-2003. The risk for MRSA carriage or infection in returning travellers ranged from 0.1 per million travellers returning from Nordic countries to 59.4 per million travellers returning from North Africa and the Middle East.
Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive Staphylococcus aureus infections in returning travelersArchived
The authors present data on 15 individuals infected by Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) -producing strains of Staphylococcus aureus. Intra-familial spread was documented in one case, and occupational transmission was most likely in another case. spa typing of the strains revealed a broad range of variants, though some strains were clonally related. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was found in three cases.
Country-to-country transfer of patients and the risk of multi-resistant bacterial infectionArchived
This review outlines how increasing modalities of travel, such as aeromedical evacuation of civilians and of military personnel, medical tourism and any shared healthcare across countries, are risks for the transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms via the patient, from country to country.
Antimicrobial resistance remains high – says EU report
The findings in the latest report on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria from ECDC and EFSA underline the serious threat AMR poses to public and animal health. Infections caused by bacteria that are resistant to antimicrobials lead to about 25 000 deaths in the EU every year.
Livestock-associated meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (LA-MRSA) among MRSA from humans across the EU/EEA, 2013: ECDC survey
The survey results show more frequent detections and geographical dispersion of LA-MRSA in humans in the EU/EEA since 2007, and highlight the public health and veterinary importance of LA-MRSA as a 'One Health' issue. The ECDC advocates for periodic systematic surveys or integrated multi-sectorial surveillance to facilitate control measures.
