Propagating Weblogic 8.x Portals
Before Service Pack 5 (SP5), the most dreaded day of some portal projects was the push to production. If you have a fairly decent deployment plan, getting the portal EAR into production was a snap. What profited the pizza industry with the late-night dinner orders was moving all of the settings that are stored in the database from Staging to Production. Entitlement roles, groups, and the association of entitlements to portlets had to be re-created by hand. Because these deployments often take place after hours, the person with the pleasure of creating them will almost always make some mistake that takes hours to trace down. The mistakes aren't because it is terribly difficult, but because even if you get to come in late for these deployments, you still probably woke up at your usual hour and are starting to fade a bit. That, and few deployment documents are perfect. The propagation tool is here to rescue you.
The propagation tool is built into SP5 and SP6, and is available as a patch upgrade to SP4.
Note: There are other patches included in this download, so this may entail risk depending on what APIs you are using. For earlier versions, you need to contact your BEA representative.
There is an official manual for the propagation tool on the BEA site, which I recommend if you want every nuance. What I will cover here is a typical, simple, straightforward approach that will save you some time. I also deviate a bit here for the sake of doing the process faster, knowing that time is often a factor when you get to your deployment phase. As with any process, I highly recommend doing a dry run in a test environment first (mostly because I own no stock in pizza companies). The steps described here are for SP5. They should be the same for SP6. If you wish to attempt this on an earlier version, I suggest going to the link mentioned earlier.
First, you need to put the tool where you can use it. Copy propagation.war from <WEBLOGIC_HOME>weblogic81portallib to the root of your Staging domain (or Integration, if you are moving to Staging). To make sure you put it in the right place, make sure that adminPortal.war is already in the same path you are copying to.
Start your server through Workshop and then go to <DOMAIN_ROOT>META-INF and open application.xml in your favorite XML editor. After the last <module> entry, add the following:
<module> <web> <web-uri>propagation.war</web-uri> <context-root>propagation</context-root> </web> </module>
When you save the file, Workshop should detect the update and automatically deploy it to the server for you. If for some reason it doesn't, you will need to stop your server, open config.xml, and manually add the following to the end of your <Application> node:
<WebAppComponent Name="propagation" Targets="genericPortalServer" URI="propagation.war"/>
Once your server has started up again, check your installation by going to http://<SERVER>:<PORT>/propagation (example: http://localhost:7001/propagation). You should see the following screen:
Click here for a larger image.
From the screen, the next step should be obvious: Click Export an Inventory. The application will walk you through the steps with fairly clear instructions (you're welcome to read them all, based on your paranoia level or the fragility of your application). The steps are as follows, with only minor comments where necessary:
- Enter the user name and password for the uber admin account.
- Click Continue.
- Click Export XML.
- Click Export Locally and save to someplace convenient (unless you are propagating to an domain on the same machine with read-write privileges).
Export complete! That was easy, wasn't it? Now, you need to import it. Again, I'm going to pare things down for the simple, straightforward process here. If your application is really, really complicated, fragile, or you just have a lot of time on your hands, you can read the full documentation.
First, you need to install the propagation application on the target server. Copy the same WAR file to the same place in your new domain. Then deploy your portal EAR to the new domain. So long as you create the EAR after installing the propagation application on the original server, you shouldn't have to do anything else. If for some reason it doesn't work for you, follow the same installation instructions given above for the original server.

David Von Drehle in the Washington Post takes a look at John Roberts' style of answering questions before the Supreme Court, and considers how that style — calm, agreeable (at least on the surface), and prepared — will play before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Von Drehle suggests that Roberts' style may frustrate Democrats on the committee, but otherwise will play quite well.
A major difference between the questions of a Supreme Court Justice and a Democratic Senator is that, before long, the Justice stops talking and allows the target to answer. But the Senate Democrats cannot derail Roberts with speech-like questions; they can only do so by letting Roberts speak and hoping that he stumbles. The chances of this happening appear quite slim.
To improve their chances, Senate Democrats are attempting to induce Roberts to open up. Thus, Senator Durbin told him, "if you will be more open and honest with your answers to us, it will go a long way." But Senator Durbin attempted to use what appears to be a false account of his private conversation with Roberts to start a firestorm over how Roberts' religious beliefs might affect his judging. Thus, Durbin and his cyncial cronies richly deserve the circumspect answers they will receive from Roberts next month.

Character Building: The TARDIS Mini Set
Build your own tiny TARDIS
- TARDIS, 11th Doctor, and Amy Pond
- The TARDIS doors can open and close!
- Adorable and detailed minifigs are fun to collect
If you drew a Venn diagram showing Doctor Who fans and brick construction toy fans, you'd see a pretty big overlap. Geeky folks are builders; geeky folks like Doctor Who. But up until recently, there were no Doctor Who themed construction sets. Creative geeks hacked their LEGO collections to create ersatz Doctor Who scenes, but it just wasn't the same.
Thankfully, Character has started a line of officially licensed Doctor Who construction sets, complete with minifigures! This is the basic set, which includes a buildable TARDIS with opening doors and figures of the 11th Doctor and Amy Pond. They're a little more shapely than their LEGO counterparts and are articulated at the neck, shoulders, wrists, waist, and hips. Even if you're not a brick fan, the minifigs are so perfect that you'll want to have them on your desk. They even fit inside the tiny TARDIS!
Product Specifications
- WARNING: Choking hazard. Small parts. Not for children under 3.
- Recommended ages: 5 - adult
- TARDIS Mini building set by Character Building
- Collectable, constructable, compatible building set
- Figures are articulated at the neck, shoulders, wrists, waist, and hips
- Includes:
- Buildable TARDIS with opening doors
- 11th Doctor figure with sonic screwdriver
- Amy Pond figure
- Dimensions: Assembled TARDIS, approx. 3.5" tall; Figures approx 1.75" tall
- Pieces: 53
- Officially licensed Doctor Who collectible Compatible with other brick building sets

Vegas, According to my phone August 10, 2014Posted by Administrator in : chess,poker,travel , add a comment
My yearly trip to Vegas for the World Series of Poker is my favorite time of year. A week after covering the US Chess Championship in Saint Louis, I was strapped in for my first live poker in months.
After a week of bricks, I moved on to covering the National Open in Las Vegas and also played in the G/10 Championship at the Riviera.
Daniel and I also filmed a video for CLO on the Millionaire Chess Open with GM Maurice Ashley. As usual, Vegas local and X Chess Champ Elliott Liu showed the chessplayers a good time. Here we are at one of my favorite spots in Vegas, Insert Coins.
Then I met with my friend Renae Garcia about REG "Raising for Effective Giving", a non-profit she founded along with Liv Boeree, Phil Grussiem and Igor Kurganov.
I helped Daniel direct some promotional video for them and after learning more, decided to sign up and pledge 2% of my tournament winnings. I was just in time to win a contest for free training with Igor and Phil.
I wrote about that experience and some thoughts on giving on the PokerStars Blog.
I also had a great time at the Chad Brown Memorial tournament sponsored by PokerStars, which raised over $70,000 for charity.
My quick trip to Los Angeles for Adventures of the Mind "TED for teens" was another highlight. I played a simul against the high school students. After winning the final game, I was told by one high school girl that "I had so much swag it was ridiculous." A sincere compliment from a teenager is no joke.
Back in Vegas, tournaments weren't going too well for me so I kept my spirits up by running like god in Open Face Chinese. From my hotel room, I made a video for RunItOnce, which included some live hand histories:
Truly, the beauty of Chinese Poker is you can play it ANYWHERE.
Below are some of my favorite interviews in Vegas, including a dual one for the Mark Hoke show with Katie Dozier.
Seeing and rooting on friends like Katie is one of the best things about the WSOP. I was really proud of my friend Melissa Burr for her amazing performance, which Jen Newell covered in an excellent profile piece for Cardschat.
Some other fun Vegas pix:
When I finally left Las Vegas, a few days later than originally planned, I overslept for my flight. I haven't been late for a flight in a decade. I've been waiting for a sign that I need to ease up and schedule in more breaks from travel.
But not quite yet. I'm too excited about my next batch of trips. First I head to Indiana for a Yamie Chess Simul with Scouts and panel talks at Gen Con, Then it's off to STL for commentary of the Sinquefield Cup, the strongest chess tournament in history. Soon after, I'll head to Europe for some WCOOP events (World Championship of Online of Poker), the Isle of Mann UKIPT & the PokerStars Chess International.

Saint Louis to Jerusalem & a New Role at Stars April 24, 2014Posted by Administrator in : chess,feminism,poker,travel , add a comment
I have a new role at PokerStars, as their Mind Sports Ambassador, to help promote the connections between chess and poker leading up to the PokerStars Isle of Man International this Fall.
My first official tournament representing PokerStars was the World Series of Poker circuit Main event in Saint Louis (which I did not win). I played in that immediately after a two-week stint giving lectures at the Saint Louis Chess Club and the World Chess Hall of Fame. Brian Jerauld at the Chess Club wrote this sweet piece on my visit and the connections between chess, poker and PokerStars support of chess, including nine years of PokerStars sponsorship of the US Chess League.
Right after Saint Louis, I traveled to Israel, where I am now, playing on the Pokerstars client for the first time since PCA. As lucky as I feel lately, I can't help but feel a twinge of regret when playing a limited number of Sundays here. As I soak up so much playing just a few tables at a time, I realize how much stronger a poker player I'd be now if not for Black Friday. Part of me knows it's futile to predict such things. Maybe I wouldn't have taken up Open Face Chinese Poker in that case, for which I now do videos on Run It Once. Or maybe I wouldn't have met so many amazing people, leading to a lot of the opportunities I have now. I certainly wouldn't have played as much live poker, and I better appreciate some of the specific skills required in that arena.
And yet it still pains my ego to know that I'd understand the game better if not for Black Friday. In the future, I need to schedule more trips to grind online, and focus less on the excitement of live stops. That being said, see you all in Vegas
On a positive note, I've done a lot of other fun interviews on chess, poker and making both games more popular.
1. I was on one of my favorite poker authors, Jared Tendler's podcast. We talked about the "Mental Game" in both chess and poker, why Magnus Carlsen has a mental game coach and whether there is tilt in chess.
2. Another podcast I love: Thinking Poker. We talk about everything from Open Face Chinese and why I decided to do training videos on the game, to what little I remember about Comparative Literature.
3. Some questions you just can't prepare for. In this fun interview with a popular Spanish YouTube chess channel, they asked me if I'd rather play Strip Chess with Magnus Carlsen or Chess Boxing with (the infamous) Borislav Ivanov!
4. I was recently on the Twoplustwo pokercast. The hosts Michael and Adam have such great chemistry. They also just interviewed the first two-time EPT Champion, PokerStars Pro Vicky Coren. It's exciting that a woman and an accomplished writer is the first to achieve this milestone. I've played with Coren a few times and her humor and charm comes out in person just as on the page.
5. I really enjoyed doing this two part interview with Poker News Daily from a few months ago- they did a flattering amount of research into my career.
6. Also a while back, me, Katie Stone & Katie Dozier were interviewed on the Full Tilt Poker blog and by Lee Davy on women in poker.
I was reminded of the last two pieces when reading this controversial piece, quoting Selbst, Stone, Danielle Moon-Anderson, Kara Scott and several other female pros.
Around 80% of the time I have a better time at the tables, because I get more attention as one of few women in the game. 20% of the time my experience may be particularly negative because I'm female. This polarization can apply to a woman's image at the table- play a hand poorly, you're probably a whale, pull off a well-timed and calculated bluff, you may be the next Vanessa Selbst.
So overall, it's a net positive for me, but as a writer, I can't help but highlight the hilarious examples of poor behavior (as I explain in this Bluff video). Things like this just aren't quite as funny:
So @mmmmarguerite & I start convo on duke porn star on cnn. none of 7 guys at tbl say anything remotely offensive. #humanity #parxbigstax

Guy to my right: "I hope they take a pic of us for the blog so I can lie to my friends that I hooked up w. you. Not that you look slutty."
— Jennifer Shahade (@JenShahade) November 24, 2013
The more involved I become in the poker culture the less my own experiences are relevant to women starting out. More people recognize me at the table and tend to be nicer to me as a result. Poker is a global game, and picking up the game may present very different challenges for women in other situations and countries.
The comment plug in isn't working here so hit me up on twitter or email. I've also been far more active on instagram lately, especially because Jerusalem provides such a photogenic backdrop for sunsets, food porn and selfies.

PCA & TED X: Bahamas to Baltimore February 4, 2014Posted by Administrator in : chess,poker,travel , add a comment
2014 began with my yearly trip to the Bahamas for the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure. A couple weeks before the event, I decided to play in the Main Event, rather than focus on my favorite new game, Open Face Pineapple. The PCA Main was technically my highest buyin ever, $300 more than the World Series of Poker Main.
In my PokerStars blog "Count His Stack First", I wrote about my experience of going super deep in the event, ultimately coming in 31st place for 43,000.
Immediately after returning from the PCA, I headed to Saint Louis for some chess classes and promotion of the Queen Within (see a good video piece on it here).
Then it was time to cure my glossophobia forever; Ted X Baltimore! I spoke to a crowd of about 1000 on chess, decision trees and poker. I'll post the video here when it lands on TED X. For now, you can find it at the livestream link. (Stream A, 49:10). Thanks to Gretchen and Mike of Code-in-the-Schools for connecting me with the opportunity.
For updates follow me on twitter. And I'm finally on instagram!

Ron Hextall
Ron Hextall was the first NHL grandson to play in the league. His father and grandfather had also played. Bryan Hextall Sr. played 11 seasons with the New York Rangers and won the scoring title in 1941-42. His son, Ron's father, played nine years before retiring in 1976. Ron's Uncle Dennis also played in the league as a fourth line player. Ron, however, was the first Hextall to venture into the net.
The result of his time as a skater, though, was that Ron became perhaps the game's most mobile goalie of all time. It also gave him a desire to do something no goalie had ever done before score. Sure enough, the night of December 8, 1987, in a game against the Boston Bruins, the Flyers had a two-goal lead and the Bruins pulled their goalie in the last minute. Hextall got the puck near the side of his net and fired it in, the first time a goalie had ever shot a puck into the opposition goal. (Billy Smith of the Islanders was once credited with a goal for being the last player to touch the puck before the other team scored into its own goal.) Incredibly, Hextall replicated the feat in the playoffs. On April 11, 1989, he again fired the puck into the open net, against Washington, thus also becoming the first goalie to score in a playoff game.
Hextall's style was physical, aggressive and unheard of. He would chase the puck anywhere in his own end, and his own players routinely shot the puck back to him when killing a penalty. Along with being a goal scorer, he also set every possible penalty-minutes record for a goalie, collecting more than 100 on two occasions and no goalie had ever come anywhere near the 100 mark. The first time came in his rookie season, when he was assessed 104 minutes. The very next year he broke that mark. He was also the most willing fighter among pad-wearers the game had ever known and as a result was suspended on numerous occasions.
In that rookie season, 1986-87, he took the Flyers to the Stanley Cup finals against the dynasty of the Edmonton Oilers. He played heroically in defeat and earned the Conn Smythe Trophy for playoff excellence, but in game four of that series, he slashed Kent Nilsson viciously and was suspended for the first eight games of the 1987-88 season. In the 1989 playoffs, he committed a foul of equal violence. Late in the team's final game against the Montreal Canadiens, in which the Habs were clearly going to win and eliminate the Flyers, Hextall skated into the corner and attacked Montreal defenseman Chris Chelios, hitting the surprised player repeatedly with his blocker. For that Hextall received a 12 game suspension to start the 1989-90 season, and upon returning he suffered a series of small injuries that limited him to eight games for the year. In an exhibition game against Detroit to start the 1991-92 season, he slashed Jim Cummins and was given another six-game suspension.
And his stickwork wasn't confined to the enemy. He was invited to Team Canada's camp for the 1987 Canada Cup and during practice he chopped Sylvain Turgeon's arm because he was apparently too close in front of Hextall's goal. Turgeon's forearm was fractured and he missed the tournament. Hextall didn't play in that Canada Cup, but he did play at the World Championship in 1992, his only international participation.
After being traded to the Nordiques and the Islanders, Hextall finished his career once again with the Flyers, taking the team to the 1997 finals before losing to the Detroit Red Wings, the closest he ever came to the Cup. After retiring, he was inducted into the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame in the fall of 2001. On June 13, 2006 the Los Angeles Kings announced Ron Hextall would become assistant general manager and general manager of Manchester Monarchs of the AHL.

There are many mind mapping softwares available, encompassing various features which can respond to your needs more or less. Some have expensive features that you will never need or use, others are too basic to get your work done. Mindomo offers you a large array of features, from simple to more complex ones, allowing you to focus on your work instead of focusing on the tool itself.
Mindomo respects your time, with a carefully selected feature set, platform flexibility, quick setup, and a short learning curve. By choosing Mindomo you choose to:
Escape from the things that slow you down. Escape from trying to hold everything in your mind at once. Escape from trying to think and write in a linear pattern only.
Mind Mapping with Mindomo gives you freedom to think and work the way that suits you best.
Reaching beyond your potential represents one of the first steps that you need to take in order to discover your strengths as well as your weaknesses. With Mindomo you can unblock your thinking by capturing the details of every thoughts.
As you reflect on the big picture of your thinking process, you can easily identify the creative structure of your thoughts, which was there to begin with.
The best way to understand something is to visualize it. You don't even have to explain it to someone else - explaining things to yourself is a powerful way to learn and understand new concepts and use them in a practical way.
With Mindomo, you become your own tutor, learning how to think like a problem solver not a problem maker.
Communication is about knowing yourself, knowing the people around you and learning how to interact with each other by building bridges of trust and respect. If you are not willing to listen to others and share your ideas with them in a focused and organized way, do not expect others to understand you either. Mindomo can help you become a better communicator as it offers you the best context to develop your critical thinking and to share your ideas with other collaborators.
Sharing your thoughts with Mindomo can be a rewarding experience: the more you choose to collaborate with others the richer you become as a person.


text: Hey guys, I come with a new "problem"/question, to you.. i've been starting to look for a way to change the default location of the ftp folder of each user. Now my problem is, if i want for a user to just give him access to a ftp on a specific mounted storage, how would i do that, so that the rights would be automatically set and no bash commands to be involved ??? by default you can set a ftp to point to a folder created inside a client, that by default will point to the webpage of the client, or a folder created earlier... so the path would be /var/www/clients/client1/web1/ftp for example. but i want to put it on a separate hdd's for example that i've added in raid and mounted to /mnt/sdd/ and to point it to the folder ftp . In where should i edit the php to change the folder location and user asignment. Thanks

Princeton, NJ – October 17, 2013 – Soligenix, Inc. (OTCQB: SNGX) (Soligenix or the Company), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing products to treat inflammatory diseases and biodefense medical countermeasures where there remains an unmet medical need, announced today the formation of an international melioidosis Scientific Advisory Board (SAB).
Comprised of clinicians and researchers from Australia, Thailand, Lao and The Netherlands with extensive experience in melioidosis, the SAB will play an important advisory role in the design and conduct of the research and development to advance SGX943 and SGX101 for the treatment of melioidosis. The SAB will provide feedback, input and guidance to both Soligenix and its collaborative partner, Intrexon Corporation (NYSE: XON), on research strategies and their implementation as well as on other critical issues, such as clinical strategy and health economics.
"Melioidosis is a significant unmet medical need in endemic regions in Thailand and surrounding areas, including Australia. The incidence of endemic melioidosis is expected to increase world-wide in parallel with the increasing incidence of diabetes," stated Direk Limmathurotsakul, MD, Head of Microbiology, Mahidol-Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit. "The mortality rate associated with this infection highlights the need for more effective strategies and the risk posed by this commonly misidentified organism."
"We are pleased to be able to attract such esteemed and enthusiastic professionals to participate as members of our Scientific Advisory Board," stated Christopher J. Schaber, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Soligenix. "The development of both SGX943 and SGX101, in collaboration with our partner Intrexon, as potential treatments for melioidosis represent what we believe to be unique approaches to offering life-saving therapy in endemic regions and in response to the potential biothreat posed by Burkholderia pseudomallei. Both therapies are designed to address the fundamental pathophysiology of the disease in a manner complementary to the current insufficient antibiotic therapies. With the increasing endemic incidence of the disease and the increased interest from a biodefense perspective, we feel this is an opportune time to accelerate these programs."
The SAB Members

About SGX943
SGX943 is the drug product designation for the active ingredient SGX94 in the treatment of melioidosis. SGX94 is an innate defense regulator (IDR), a new class of short, synthetic peptides that has a novel mechanism of action in that it has simultaneous anti-inflammatory and anti-infective activity. IDRs have no direct antibiotic activity but modulate host responses, increasing survival after infections with a broad range of bacterial Gram-negative and Gram-positive pathogens, as well as accelerating resolution of tissue damage following exposure to a variety of agents including bacterial pathogens, trauma and chemo- and/or radiation-therapy. SGX94 has demonstrated safety in a Phase 1 clinical study in healthy human volunteers and efficacy in numerous animal disease models including mucositis, colitis, skin infection and other bacterial infections. SGX94 is the subject of an open Investigational New Drug (IND). SGX94 was developed pursuant to discoveries made by Professors B. Brett Finlay, PhD and Robert Hancock, PhD of the University of British Columbia, Canada and approximately $40 million has been put towards its development inclusive of government grants.
About SGX101
SGX101 is the designation for a novel therapeutic product for melioidosis to be developed in collaboration with Intrexon Corporation, under an Exclusive Channel Collaboration between Soligenix and Intrexon. SGX101 is intended as a human monoclonal antibody therapy directed at host cells infected with Burkholderia pseudomallei. SGX101 may also be utilized in conjunction with available antibiotic therapy.
About Melioidosis
Melioidosis is a potentially fatal infection caused by the Gram-negative bacillus, Burkholderia pseudomallei (Bp). There is no effective immunotherapy or vaccine on the horizon for prevention or treatment of melioidosis. Highly resistant to many antibiotics, Bp can cause an acute disease characterized by a fulminant pneumonia and a chronic condition that can recrudesce. Therefore, there is a significant medical need for improved prevention and therapy.
Bp infection (melioidosis) is a major public health concern in the endemic regions of Southeast Asia and Northern Australia. Moreover, the organism has a worldwide distribution and the full extent of global spread is likely underestimated. Bp activity is seen in Southeast Asia, South America, Africa, the Middle East, India, and Northern Australia. The highest pockets of disease activity occur in Northern Australia and Northeast Thailand, Burma and Vietnam, and is likely under-reported in China. In Northeast Thailand, the mortality rate associated with Bp infection is over 40%, making it the 3rd most common cause of death from infectious disease in that region after HIV/AIDS and TB. Beyond their public health significance, Bp and the closely-related B. mallei (Bm) are considered potential biological warfare agents by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Bp is classified as a Tier 1 biothreat and a category B priority pathogen by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and is a top 5 priority in the 2012 Public Health Emergency Medical Countermeasure Enterprise (PHEMCE) Strategy document.

Parks, Library and Recreation director Jody Hungenberg discussed the challenge libraries are facing during a PLR board meeting on Tuesday.
Douglas County Libraries is trying to combat the problem. One of the things they're doing is creating monthly reports showing how much more libraries have to pay for e-books compared to consumers, based on prices from the top suppliers for libraries and consumers.
"We don't buy a special library edition or anything; we're buying the exact same book," Hungenberg explained.
The report for comparisons as of Sept. 5 shows that consumers who purchased an ebook version of "Fifty Shades of Grey" were charged $9.99 by Bilbary and Amazon/Barnes & Noble, while libraries spent $47.85 purchasing the same book from Overdrive and 3M. For print editions, consumers spent $9.57 at Amazon or $10.04 at Barnes & Noble and libraries spent $8.97 at Baker & Taylor or $9.41 at Ingram.
"Not only are they gouging libraries for the exact same product, there are some publishers who will not even sell to libraries," Hungenberg said.
She also pointed out that when libraries buy e-books they don't own it, they borrow it and publishers can dictate how many times the library can let it be checked out.
All these things are why libraries, including Sterling Public Library, don't have more e-books available for checkout.
Hungenberg said that authors are very frustrated with what's going on because they want their books in readers' hands. That's why Douglas County setup their own server and is going directly to the authors saying "sell me your book, but once I have it I've bought it." They store it on their server and are making deals with other libraries in Colorado to use the books off their server.
Douglas County has also opened up their server to independent authors who can't get published elsewhere.
"It's kind of taking the publisher out a little bit," Hungenberg said.
She mentioned the federal government has filed price-fixing cases against five publishing companies. A settlement with Simon & Schuster, Hachette and HarperCollins was approved last week, but Penguin and Macmillan face a trial next June.
Another concern is that libraries are "the archivists of society. We are the ones who keep these books for all generations," Hungenberg said, but what happens to the book once the publisher decides the library can't have it anymore?
During department updates Library Superintendent Sandy VanDusen said she will attend a workshop Sept. 21 on e-media to see what changes are going on and where Douglas County is on their work. She'll also attend the Colorado Association of Libraries Conference Oct. 18-20.
September is National Library Card Signup Month. SPL has a goal to sign up 80 people this month, as of Tuesday they were at 35.
VanDusen also reported the library has purchased 12 Playaway Views, six for preschool-age children and six for grades 2-5, that will be ready to checkout soon. The electronic devices include stories and information on different topics.
Additionally, SPL is busy planning for the Northern Colorado Common Read in October, a community-wide reading initiative designed to bring people of all ages and from various libraries together to read, discuss and celebrate a single book, "Unbroken," by Laura Hillenbrand.
There will be one or more events each week and an exhibit at the Overland Trail Museum.
Wade Gandee, parks, cemetery and forestry superintendent, reported they are short a number of people. They interviewed for three maintenance positions recently and believe they have candidates for the jobs.
Also, new playground for Pioneer Park should arrive at the end of the month.
Filling in for Recreation Superintendent Dennis Fuller, Hungenberg said youth and adult volleyball have started and youth volleyball is growing, from 13 teams and 100 participants in 2000, to 48 teams and 380 participants this year.
The outdoor pool had a great year, accounting for almost $5,000 more in revenue this summer. It closed when school started because there are fewer swimmers and it's difficult to find lifeguards. It costs $127 a day for the heating and chemicals alone.
Admissions overall look like they're down but it's because they got rid of family and non-participant passes. There were 5,901 patron visits in August.
Swim lessons were down 63 children overall due to price increases, but revenue was up.
Hungenberg also gave a report on Overland Trail Museum, noting they had 678 visitors in August from 30 states and four foreign countries. Around 150 people attended a free day on Sept. 1.
They've hired one new part-time employee and are working on archiving scrapbooks.
Hungenberg reported she has completed an application for a $75,000 Great Outdoors Colorado planning grant, so the PLR department can do their own planning next year and then incorporate it into the city's master plan.
"It gives us direction on what we should be looking towards in the future," she said.
Hungenberg will find out if they got the grant on Dec. 11.
She also shared that department heads attended Standard Response Protocol training.
"That's something the city's working on is how to make our buildings and staff safer," Hungenberg said.

Last year, Tim Cook fired long-time Apple executive and former mobile software chief, Scott Forstall.
Forstall had led the Apple Maps team; it launched a disappointing product that was uncharacteristic of Apple, and Forstall paid the price.
The hole Forstall left has been filled by four other executives, CFO Peter Oppenheimer, head of operations Jeff Williams, General Counsel Bruce Sewell and head of technology Bob Mansfield. The added territory came with a sizable raise for each.
Wall Street Journal blogger Jessica Lessin scanned the company's proxy filing. She discovered each executive was given an additional $75,000 following Forstall's departure.
The bump in pay was meant to "recognize the additional responsibilities assigned to the officers and to maintain internal equity," according to the proxy.
"In disclosing compensation for four of its senior vice presidents, the company said that it increased each executive's base salary to $875,000 from $800,000 following the October changes to its executive team that were designed to encourage "even more collaboration between the Company's hardware, software, and services teams," Lessin writes.

In my other hobby sometimes I have to refinish things, or barring that, sand them down and repaint them.
I'm curious if anyone has devised a clever method for refurbishing Lego Bricks which are a little worn. Since it's ABS plastic, I'm wondering if a gentle hand sanding with 1200+ grit sandpaper wouldn't do it, or maybe a turn of a polishing wheel with the old Dremel tool, or a combination thereof. This is assuming of course you don't want or need to preserve any printed elements, stickers, etc.
I wouldn't really want to paint them because then they wouldn't be a real Lego color.

I asked Karen to write this guest blogpost. She calls herself a "recovering Catholic" and that's not the only reason her perspective has value.
In hindsight, it is telling that I gave little thought to Jesus until I was no longer Catholic. Growing up in the Bible Belt of New Orleans, a conservative Christian region of the southern United States, I was not encouraged to question religious authority, much less express dissent, but instead I was to accept as fact whatever was preached from the pulpit on Sundays.
When I actually identified with a spirituality that inspired my sincere mind and heart connection with the Divine, it was Goddess Spirituality, and it was as a Goddess Advocate that I began to really think about Jesus, Christianity and the institution that I'll loosely call The Church.
Thinking back, Jesus was little more than that sad and suffering figure on the cross at the front of the church, or that little baby in the manger at Christmas time, while the sacrifice of his life to his father, our god, for our sins, never made much sense to me. I felt that the sacrifice, whether accepted or required, spoke volumes more about Jesus' "heavenly father"—a deity I cared little to claim as my god—and I prayed to escape his notice lest I incur his wrath.
There was something about a god who condoned suffering and accepted the sacrifice of sons that seemed too remote from the wise and loving deity, archetype, or ideal I could lovingly and readily embrace as Divine. Even if this request of sacrifice was a test of faith, as I'm told, it felt more like the Mafia questioning my allegiance and loyalty to The Family.
I'm not sure when I actually languaged it, but I believe intuitively I rejected the Christian ideas of suffering and sacrifice. I wondered why a female face of divinity was so lacking. On some level, I think I wondered but could not actually put into words why life-affirming ideas seemed so lacking in this religion I was born into, but no one was talking about it. Everyone just accepted the dogma.
You see, we lived in a bubble. We only met other Christians. There just was little to no opportunity or encouragement to question the programming. Everyone I knew was a Catholic or Baptist and they all seemed to toe the party line, or if they did not, they were not openly talking about it. We never questioned and seemed to revel in singing lyrics in church on Sunday like "Onward Christian soldiers, marching off to war." It was too easy to practice bad deeds all week and on Sunday or in confession get a "get out of jail free" card by saying a few Hail Mary prayers. Oh, and please let mass end before kick-off time!
But when I opened my eyes and took responsibility for my own education and gave myself permission to question, I began to see The Church dogma as giving license to a select few to control the masses and to the powerful to commit far too many sins—none of which seemed in alignment with the teachings of Jesus.
Reconciling Jesus within Her Spiritual Paradigm
When I first uncovered Goddess herstory from the sands of time, from patriarchal lies, and from subterfuge, I'm not ashamed to say I was livid. I was metaphorically on fire that I had been duped for the first thirty years of my life. And when I found out the role of the Church in the subjugation of women and destruction of other cultures, I was filled with utter disgust. I'm having trouble even finding the words for the toxic emotion inspired by these realizations.
At first, I hated anything related to The Church, including Mary and Mary Magdalene, Pope John Paul II, who loved Mary, and even the wonderful, warm and loving nuns who taught me. They were all guilty by association. I was ready to discard even these female faces who had once been the only figures within Christianity to provide any solace or heartfelt connection to this religion I'd come to see as despicable. Although this does not describe all Christians, when I saw how the Religious Right was using Christianity as a weapon to steer government in the United States, and as a wedge issue to fan the flames of fear and hate to divide people, I was disgusted even more.
And don't even get me started on the hypocrisy. Many of these vocal and self-righteous Christians who were always telling everyone else the right way to live were the ones getting caught starting bogus wars, having affairs, soliciting prostitutes, telling lies, stealing, abusing their power, causing gay people to commit suicide with their abomination talk—all while failing to really live by the teachings of Jesus. Sure they would shout out at us from our television screens or from their multi-million dollar pulpits about finding Jesus, and by the way, don't forget to increase offertory giving and mail them a check—but the teachings of Jesus were hardly what these church leaders and many Christians were practicing.
They stood for shooting exhausted animals from planes, for taking reproductive rights away from women, for denying gays equal rights, for teaching abstinence instead of sex education, then failing to commit funds to poor people who could not afford o feed their children. I heard many rationalize their greed by saying their riches were gifts from god, while the poor were sinners and thus earned their poverty. It seemed their god and his ideals were about power, control, and the mighty dollar.
When this veil was lifted from my mind and eyes, it was difficult at first to return to anything remotely related to The Church—even Jesus, who was being used as their poster guy to legitimize suffering, sin, and abuse of the masses. Church leaders seemed to count on no one opening a book or discussing ideas on the internet. They counted on everyone continuing to take their word as gospel and not question or give themselves permission to see history and spirituality through a fresh lens.
But I eventually began to reclaim Jesus within my spiritual paradigm as a Goddess Advocate. In fact, I came to believe if Jesus would ever appear back on this Earth, his heart would be broken by the deeds perpetrated in his name. I remembered that Jesus was not part of the status quo. In fact, in his day he would have been a heretic, a terrorist, certainly not one of those endorsing suffering of the many for the benefit of the few. Neither can I believe he would want his followers to be a herd of "sheeple," following some repressive dogma without critical thinking.
Jesus was trying to show humanity a new way of being. In his day he railed against the abuse of Temple elders, as he surely would today. Forever seared in my memory is that "Jesus Christ Superstar" movie where he over-turns the tables of the money-changers, walks with the poor, and treats women as his equals. The figure of Jesus became rehabilitated in my mind—and he had nothing to do with the institution that is The Church.
Jesus - The Sacred Masculine
I began to see Jesus in many new ways. I saw him and his mother Mary as the last figures in the long line of Pagan Goddesses and their consorts, with Jesus the dying and rising lord or king. Just as several of the Goddesses such as Isis and Artemis passed their baton on to Mary, Jesus was the Green Man, Attis, Tammuz, or Osiris. In fact during the season of Ostara, near the Christian holy day of Easter, I traditionally read to our group a meditation wherein we see in our mind's eye the face of the consort of the Goddess morphing from one god to another, finally ending with that of Jesus. And now Christmas time becomes an opportunity instead of a farce as I use my radio show and platforms to publish articles or open discussions to remind Christians of their Pagan roots. December 25th has associations not just with Jesus' birthday, but with Pagan traditions, Winter Solstice, Pagan gods like Mithras, and Yuletide Goddesses.
With my new-found relationship to Jesus came my embrace of his mother Mary and Mary Magdalene. I also feel less hesitant to walk into a Christian Church. I go in and look for the female faces of deity; Mary, Mary Magdalene, Guadalupe and Black Madonnas. And when I see Jesus sitting in the lap of Mary, I see Horus in the lap of Isis, and I also see Jesus as the consort of Goddess and Jesus as the Sacred Masculine. He is the Sacred Bridegroom of Mary Magdalene, herself an aspect of Goddess, and in their pairing is the balance of the Divine Couple—Divine Feminine and Sacred Masculine, our sacred life force, in wholeness, in balance, in equality, as it always should have been. I see in this Divine Duo the common ground where Pagans and progressive Christians can come together outside of the confines and dogma of The Church to build a new and healthy society, culture, and spirituality that serves the many and not just the few.
January 5
The facts of history do not support Christian insults to pagans, who in early Christian history were their religious relatives and rivals.
God Is Not Three Guys in the Sky
I am so glad I asked Karen to write a guest post. She helps us to re-imagine Christian images and to integrate Christianity with its pagan roots. The Judaeo-Christian tradition portrayed Goddess spirituality as the reviled enemy, segregated from and opposed to us, but Karen's post shows how they can be merged.
She gives new perspective on Jesus—Jesus as both child of the Goddess and paired with Goddess as Sacred Bridegroom and Sacred Masculine. Unfamiliar images for Christians, to be sure, but less irrational than the Christian myth of a father generating a son with no female around.
Mythologists like Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, and Mircea Eliade, and feminist theologians like Sandra Schneiders have been explicating similar insights for many years, but the all-male Church hierarchy represses these advances in understanding.
As we enter the post-Christian era, I hope schools of theology will recognize their responsibility to provide context for the Christian story. They should require readings in mythology and feminine theology. Every Christian priest and minister should know that "Father" is a mythic image, not a fact. Every presider at a liturgy should avoid terms that perpetuate male-dominant conditioning—"Lord" and "Father." Every presider should introduce terms that invite deeper understanding of the Holy One—"Mother" and "She."
Karen writes:
Adversaries of the Sacred Feminine tried to sweep awareness and knowledge of Her under the rug—that's why I am dedicated to uncovering new facts and theories. . . . if you remember, one day people thought the world was flat and the sun revolved around the Earth! Every day we learn new things, uncover hidden history, and perhaps the truth of our planet and species has not yet been definitively written—perhaps there is a frontier with much yet to be uncovered. Here at Voices of the Sacred Feminine, we look behind the locked door and peer into the abyss of the past.Please be aware that I do not advocate exclusive WORSHIP of the Goddess, substituting one deity for another. Neither does Karen. In appreciation of mythologists' insights, we offer alternative myths to the Christian myth. Seeing alternatives may awaken recognition within the less educated Christian community that the Christian story is indeed a myth. I say "less educated" while wondering how many theologically "educated" Christians have any awareness of this at all.
Belief in the Sacred as exclusively male defies rational sense as well as violating our innate sense of justice. To correct the injustice and irrationality, we offer sacred Goddess images.
DrTom said, You might be familiar with something Catholic theologian, Sr. Sandra Schneiders has said: "The Trinity is a lot more than two men and bird."
It did not endear her to heirarchy.

|Exhibit A:
|This is a very interesting historiated initial from a very interesting manuscript. Illustrating a small text about a comet, it comes from one of the earliest encyclopaedias in the modern sense of the word. Organized alphabetically, Omne Bonum (literally, All Good Things) was composed and written circa 1360s-1370s by James le Palmer, clerk of the Exchequer, probably for Edward III. A team of illuminators, almost certainly instructed by the author, added hundreds miniatures, making this book one of the best windows into the fourteenth-century mind we have.
|Having stayed in the Royal Collection for some four and a half centuries, it was eventually donated, along with thousands of other books, to the British Museum by George IV in 1823. Now in a special section of the British Library (a section almost impossible to get access to), it is also available online: MS Royal 6 E VI, MS Royal 6 E VII (it's actually in four volumes now, but they kept the old nomenclature).
|I enjoyed browsing it immensely. Here's a selection of some of the more curious images:
|Teeth: dentist at work
|Age: сhildren playing with toys and catching butterflies
|Jews (expelled from England in 1290)
|Adolescence (note the convex mirror)
|Brain: trepanation
|Colour: artist mixing pigments
|I found this gem thanks to the BBC's Illuminations: The Private Lives of Medieval Kings.
|You can see a couple of excerpts from it on my new blog: 1, 2.
|Exhibit B:
|Now, this miniature is a good example of how you shouldn't believe your intuition when interpreting old images. At least one texbook and one generally reliable photo bank tell us that this is a very early depiction of multiple waterspouts bursting from a cloud lit by lightning, from a 13th century manuscript De natura rerum by Albertus Magnus. A few places on the web repeat this very believable claim, and so, at first, did I.
|But then I found the manuscript itself and a dissertation about it. The text of the manuscript and other illustrations in it are unambiguous: this is supposed to be a solar eclipse. You'd never think you could mix up those two, would you?
|The circular spinning top, half-hidden behind the clouds, is in fact the Sun (compare it to the vista of the night sky from the same chapter, and to a roughly contemporary parallel — both shown below).

Call another method in the External API (Slack)
You will learn
In this tutorial, you will a new call to another Slack API method to retrieve more data about the user who is sending the message. You will display this new data on the main view of your application.
The Slack User method will be used in this tutorial. Review the documentation and tester available on the website to get a better understanding of the inputs and expected outputs of this method.
When you call the user method for a given user, you will have more information about a user, such as their full name and profile picture. You will use this method to add user details to the main view so you have a better idea of the user who is posting the message.
Open your main controller by opening the folders
webapp > controller and selecting the
View1.controller.js file.
In the
done function of the AJAX call, you will add a new loop to get additionally data for each result from the initial call. You should be sure to limit the page size to ensure that performance does not suffer by adding a new call to another API method.
Create a
for loop near the end of the
done function in the AJAX call. The loop should start at 0 and go for the length of the results message array.
for(var i = 0; i < results.messages.length; i++) {
In the for
for loop, you need to check to make sure the data returned is good (a user is found). Add an
if statement in the
for loop to check to see is the user return is not null. To get the
user for each message, drill into the results variable and index the
message out for the give
i you are exploring in the
for loop. Once you have a single message, get the
user value.
if(results.messages[i].user !== null){
If a user is found, you will want to call Slack to find out more information about this user. For this, you will need to do a new AJAX call to the User Profile method. Add an AJAX call inside the
if statement. Define a blank
done function as well with the parameter of
userResults. You can use the same token from your first AJAX call. The User Profile method requires a user to complete the call. You will set the user parameter in the call to the
results.message[i].user value. This returns the user value for a single message.
type: 'GET',
url: "/slack/users.info?user=" + results.messages[i].user + "&token=" + token,
async: false
}).done(function(userResults) {
If the AJAX call is a success, the user profile of the provided user will be returned. You can use this profile to display some more detailed information about the user on the view. To make the data accessible in the view, you will need to bind it to the message model. In the
done function, retrieve the message model and set it to a new variable. Once the model is retrieved, set a new property inside of the message data for the message that is currently being explored using the variable
i. Once the user details have been added to the model, you can rebind the updated model to the view.
var message = self.getView().getModel("messages").getProperty("/data");
message[i].userDetails = userResults.user;
self.getView().getModel("messages").setProperty("/data", message);
SAVE your changes. Your new code should look like the screenshot below.
Open your new main view by opening the folders
webapp > view and selecting the
View1.view.xml file.
Find the
ObjectHeader in the
cells definition of the table. Here, define a new attribute call
intro which you will set to the new
userDetails properties available in the messages model. Use the
real_name property that is now available from the
userDetails to display the users full name instead of their username.
ObjectHeader should resemble the screenshot below.
SAVE your changes.
Make sure all your changes are saved and RUN your application. You should now see that the names of the user messages are now displayed instead of blanks. In Slack, "users" are a bot's name and "usernames" refer to actual users in the system. To translate the Slack username into information your end user would understand, you would need data from the User Profile method. Feel free to add more user details to your application.
Copy and paste the URL of the running application into the text box below.

Christmas Kid Party Kababs!
I have twins in first grade and was asked to contribute specific items for the holiday party... 24 paper plates? No problem! 24 fruit kabobs.....sigh. There are tons of super cute ideas on the net that are easier...but somehow I got snowmen on the brain and they just had to be. I am NOT a food photographer, and I could have tried a little harder to make the picture cuter, but I still have a dozen of these bad boys to go, and they are supposed to be at school TOMORROW, not Wednesday like I thought.
I didn't have a melon baller, so I used a tablespoon for the big sections and a teaspoon for the head... 1/2 a grape for the hat brim, and another grape for the top of the hat. Raisin bits made up the eyes and buttons. (cut in long halves, pre-poke the hole beforehand with an extra skewer.) And little slivers of carrots for the nose! I had all kinds of ideas with apples, apple bits, watermelon mittens even... but these were what I ended up with tonight. They did keep getting cuter and cuter...I'm sure some super pinter-person will do them up even nicer and get great pics.

Madhyamaka, or "Middle Way," philosophy came to Tibet from India and became the basis of all of Tibetan Buddhism. The Tibetans, however, differentiated two streams of Madhyamaka philosophy—Svātantrika and Prāsaṅgika. In this collection, leading scholars in the field address the distinction on various levels, including the philosophical import for both Indian and Tibetan Madhyamaka and the historical development of the distinction itself.

text: WASDE: Red Meat, Poultry Production Reduced July 11, 2013 06:05 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By AgWeb.com Editors Email LIVESTOCK, POULTRY, AND DAIRY: The forecast for 2013 red meat and poultry production is reduced from last month on lower beef, pork and turkey production. Beef production is lowered as steer and heifer slaughter in the second quarter was lower than expected. The lower second-quarter slaughter more than offsets higher forecast slaughter in the second half of the year. The pork production forecast is reduced, largely on a reduction in fourth-quarter slaughter. USDA's Quarterly Hogs and Pigs report indicated that despite a record number of pigs per litter in March-May, the pig crop for that period was only fractionally above year-earlier. Turkey production is lowered as hatchery data points toward sharper declines in second-half production. The broiler production forecast is unchanged. Egg production is raised on higher table and hatching egg production. For 2014, the red meat and poultry production forecast is higher based on larger pork production. Pork production increases are driven primarily by gains in pigs per liter as producers have indicated intentions to only gradually expand farrowings in the second half of 2013. Beef and pork exports for 2013 and 2014 are unchanged. The beef import forecast is lowered for 2013 and 2014 due largely to expected tight supplies in Oceania. Pork imports are raised slightly for 2013 and 2014. Broiler and turkey exports for 2013 are raised on the current strength of trade. Forecasts for 2014 are unchanged. The cattle price forecast for 2013 is lowered from last month as prices have weakened recently. The 2014 price forecast is lowered for the first half of the year. Hog prices are raised as demand strength carries from 2013 into 2014, but price gains will be limited by higher production. Broiler prices are higher as strong demand is expected to support prices in 2014. Turkey prices are down slightly for 2013 while 2014 is unchanged. Egg prices are raised for 2013 on relatively strong demand. The 2013 milk production forecast is raised from last month based on growth in milk production to date. The milk production forecast for 2014 is unchanged from last month. Despite weaker forecast milk prices, forage supplies and feeding margins will likely continue to support modest gains in milk production. The fat-basis import forecast for 2013 is unchanged, but lowered on a skim-solid basis reflecting slower-than-expected imports of milk protein concentrates. The 2013 fat-basis export forecast is higher on continued robust exports of cheese. Skim-solid exports for 2013 are higher as nonfat dry milk (NDM) shipments are expected to remain strong. The United States has gained in export markets typically served by the European Union which has experienced a slowdown in production. Export forecasts for 2014 are unchanged. Fat and skim-solid basis ending stock forecasts for 2013 are raised as stocks of butter and cheese have remained large. Ending stock forecasts for 2014 are raised as well. Cheese and butter prices are forecast lower for 2013 on larger supplies. Prices for 2014 are lowered as the larger carry-in stocks overhang the market. The 2013 NDM price forecast is raised from last month on strong export demand, but the forecast for 2014 is unchanged. The whey price forecasts for both 2013 and 2014 are unchanged from last month. The Class III price forecasts are lowered from last month in line with lower product prices. The Class IV price forecast is unchanged for 2013 as lower butter prices are largely offset by higher NDM prices. However, the Class IV price is lowered for 2014, reflecting lower butter prices. The 2013 all milk price is forecast at $19.50 to $19.80 and the price for 2014 is $18.70 to $19.70 per cwt. ..................................

Course Descriptions
Course Descriptions
General Information about Course Descriptions
All courses are not offered each semester. Students will be assisted in making choices of course work by advisors who are assigned according to the student-declared major.
The designation of "FA," "SP," and/or "SU" following each course description indicates whether the course is offered during the fall, spring, and/or summer terms. "IN" indicates the course is offered infrequently. MACC will make reasonable effort to offer courses as listed. At the College's discretion, however, the schedule may be changed.
The interpretation of course numbers used at Moberly Area Community College is as follows:
- Three letters which indicate a specific teaching area of instruction
- Numbers 000 to 099 are developmental and are not considered
college level; numbers 100 to 199 are considered freshman-level
courses; and numbers 200 to 299 are considered sophomore-level
Any course may be taken at either the freshman or sophomore level except those in sequenced programs (i.e., nursing program) or those requiring prerequisites.
One asterisk (*) appearing next to a course title indicates the course meets the Humanities requirement.
Two asterisks (**) appearing next to a course title indicate the course meets the Missouri Constitutional requirement.
A appearing next to a course title indicates the course meets the Literature requirement.

Hashtag app for iPhone - Quickly Follow Tagged Twitter and Instagram Updates
Hashtags - It seems as if every event you go to nowadays wants you to append your updates with them. On the flip-side, It's cool to see what others are saying about the event you're attending. You never know what opportunity might arise if you join in on the conversation. The obviously named Hashtag App helps you quickly view hashtag convos on Twitter and Instagram.
Sure, other services have the ability to search and save hashtag searches for access later. But the cool thing about the Hashtag app is that it's quick and there's no need to sign up or connect Twitter or Instagram accounts for access. Simply open the app, enter the hashtag, and the app displays all tweets and Instagram images that include the hashtag. No need to navigate through several screens just to get to the search like on other services.
Tapping on a message with a link included will take you to that website. The app also shows trending hashtags for even quicker access to popular convos.
What would've been dope is if the app displayed updates in real-time. You currently have to "pull to refresh" for new content. Also, the app only lets you view updates. An option to tap on a tweet to view it on the mobile-version of Twitter (or give you an option to pick your own Twitter app) to retweet, mention, or reply to the update would've been handy as well.
But I'm probably thinking too much. The whole point of the Hashtag app is to quickly view updates from Twitter and Instagram. Maybe as the app gets more traction, more options will appear. In order for that to happen, you need to download the app from iTunes and let us know what you think in the comments section.

Well the field is set for The Jeg's/Miller Electric Competition Eliminator Shoot-Out to be held in Bowling Green, KY at the NHRA Division 3 race August 27th – 29th. This year there was a total of 52 cars that acquired points in their attempt to make it to the shoot-out. In the end, the top four point earners will run the "race within a race" by going head-to-head during qualifying at the event. The winner of this four person ladder will receive $2,000 in gift certificates from Jeg's and the runner-up will win a new Diversion 180 TIG machine from Miller. The top four point earners for 2010 are:
#1 Brian Browell
#2 Ray Vierheller
# 3 Steve Ambrose
# 4 Jerry Arnold
We'd like to say good luck to these racers and I'll make sure to give an update and let you know who wins the gift certificates and who wins the TIG machine. Now I'm a little biased, but this seems to be one instance where coming in second might even be better than winning.

"Anyone can talk, but few do so strategically"
Phillip G. Clampitt is the Philip J. and Elizabeth B. Hendrickson Professor of Business at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. He is also a full professor in the Information Sciences and Communication programs. He received his Ph.D. in organizational communication from the University of Kansas. He has published in various journals including,
The Academy of Management Executive, Journal of Communication Management, Journal of Business Communication, Management Communication Quarterly, Journal of Broadcasting, Communication World and Sloan Management Review. In addition, his work has been profiled in the Wall Street Journal.
He also has served on the editorial review board of numerous professional journals including Management Communication Quarterly and the Journal of Business Communication.
His book, Communicating for Managerial Effectiveness (4th edition), is a Sage Publications bestseller, and is based on his research from over 50 communication assessments. M.E. Sharpe published his most recent book, Embracing Uncertainty: The Essence of Leadership. Professor Clampitt is also the founder of MetaComm, a consulting firm that enables organizations to take their communication practices to a "higher plane". He has consulted with numerous major corporations over the past twenty years.
Listed below is some advice from former communications students who have successfully trained their neural pathways.
"Taking a Phil class will definitely raise your stress levels. However, once the class is over, you will realize that it was all worth it." -Jerome Allen
"Do not concern yourself with what you believe Phil is "looking for" as the "right answer," rather construct a unique solution to the problem and develop a strong line of rationale and you will succeed beyond measure" -Marcus Reitz
"GO TO CLASS!!! No matter how many notes you print off the website, you will never get all the information! Also...read, read, read! If you don't read, the multiple choice questions in the exams are going to kick your butt!" -Angela Stangel
Communication Students...
should be striving for excellence by: 1) continuously improving personal communication skills such as listening, public speaking, writing and managing conflict, 2) developing effective group communication skills by knowing how to effectively and efficiently solve problems, 3) becoming critical thinkers by understanding how to analytically and strategically address communication problems and 4) developing communication expertise by learning fundamental communication principles, practices and theories. Concentrating on these four critical areas puts every student in the best possible position to become a thoughtful, strategic, and professional communicator. Such individuals glisten like rare gems – coveted by friends, colleagues and organizations.
7 Questions to guide your thinking...
Can you prove it?
So what?
What are your assumptions?
What is effectiveness?
What is the pattern?
What can you do about it?
Is it ethical?
""It's amazing to me how many managers don't have time to look for the evidence but do have time to make the same mistake over and over again." - Robert Sutton
