Three defending champions last spring; not one repeated.
The Guilderland girls' lacrosse team tried to defend its title on Wednesday, but the ball bounced the other way.
After some tough losses this season, the Guilderland girls' lacrosse team has finally "found a way to go after it," Head Coach Carrie Britt said.
The Voorheesville lacrosse team has scored just three goals in four games this season, but, with a fearless goalie, the Birds' situation may get better.
The Dutchmen lacrosse team is 3-1, but coach says young players are taking time to learn, which he expected anyway.
Until last Friday, the Guilderland girls' lacrosse team hadn't lost to a Suburban Council opponent since April 20, 2007.
After 12 years, 196 victories, and five Section 2 titles, Gary Chatnik stepped down as the Guilderland girls' lacrosse coach. Chatnik's assistant, Carrie Britt, has filled the position.
TROY — Gary Chatnik never went searching for a coaching career in girls' lacrosse. Coaching found him. Describing himself as "a meddling parent," Chatnik said that, 12 years ago, he asked if he could help Guilderland's lacrosse program.
In the Division II Championship game last month in Philadelphia, Aaron Cahill and Danny Santandrea were teammates for LeMoyne College, and they went up against Eugene Sellie, who will be a senior at Mercyhurst College next fall. All three played lacrosse for Guilderland.

Welcome to Mt. Pisgah
We are a friendly, welcoming group of about 500 (and growing!) people who gather regularly to worship God and to help build God's kingdom on earth.
A Message from Council President, Joel Kunze
"Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord." These are the words from the Apostle Paul and that is what you will find here at Mount Pisgah Lutheran Church. Grace is exactly what you will find in our church family.
When I moved my family to Hickory, I visited many great churches but I needed a place to be fed and raise my Family. What I needed was a place filled with Grace, Mercy, and Peace. A place of refuge from everyday life. When you enter our church you will find a building full of sinners in need of Mercy and Grace. We are very blessed to be a blessing to sinners, which is all of us. This is a warm and inviting place.
We offer a thriving youth program and plenty to do for the young and older adults. We are in the midst of a very exciting time. We have embarked on a building campaign to accommodate our growing family. This will include the expansion of our sanctuary, kitchen (we eat as a family on a regular basis!) and our Food Pantry. Our Good Samaritan Food Pantry is well known in our community for providing food for those in need. Again, we are blessed to be a blessing.
We offer services at 8:00am and 10:30am with Sunday school in between. There is always something going on here at Mount Pisgah so put on your jeans and come join us!
In his service,
Joel Kunze
A Stone's Throw
Written by Pastor Mike Stone August 2014
"A Stones Throw"
"Be sure to check the power source!" Those words I have heard numerous times during our building project. It got me to thinking that so often when something is not working properly that often the last thing we check is the power supply.
So it is in our spiritual lives. For us to GROW in faith, to KNOW Christ and to GO in service, we need to stay connected to the Power supply that only He can give.
This summer with an amazing Confirmation camp and work camp it was so inspiring to watch our young people connect with each other and with God. Each participant experienced a personal renewal which gave them power for the moment and a memory for a lifetime. I am so grateful for such great young people and for a congregation that understands so well the importance of those kinds of opportunities to "plug in."
It also got me to thinking of all the opportunities we have here at Mt Pisgah to connect with our Power Source. Don't we, like the people of God in the wilderness, need to be fed everyday by the Bread from Heaven? I cannot count on my past connectedness to God to give me nourishment and power for the new day. Each day provides a new and fresh opportunity to grow from being connected to our Power source in Jesus Christ.
That is a long way for a preacher to say, "PLUG IN!" As we soon begin new ministries together take advantage of these great opportunities for worship, bible study and Sunday school. We certainly will be blessed as we give Him daily opportunity to speak to us through His word and prayer.
See you Sunday.
Connected to His gracious grip,
Pastor Mike

Woman who had lived lesbian lifestyle brings hope to Mormons with same-sex attraction through LDS Church's new website
LDS Church
For Laurie Campbell, it is time to come forward.
"I've never really wanted to be this visible," she said during a recent telephone interview. "I have children. I have a life. I have a few of my family members and friends who still don't know much about my history. I don't know how they'll respond now."
Still, she says, she knew she needed to come forward and participate in the new website, www.mormonsandgays.org, launched Thursday by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You'll see her in several of the website's video sequences, sharing her thoughts and feelings along with other church leaders and members, urging compassion, acceptance, love, and empathy between Latter-day Saints and those who experience same-sex attraction.
With all her heart, she believes God requires this of her.
"It's time," she says quietly. "My husband and I thought and prayed about this a lot when the church approached me a year ago to be interviewed for the website. We feel it's time for me to come forward and be more vocal."
So here she is, coming forward as a happily-married 52-year-old mother of three who, 30 years ago, was living her life as a lesbian.
"We knew this was going to be a church website, so we figured our family and friends would see it," she said Friday. "The thing is, I hadn't told my kids about my past yet, and we just moved into a new ward. And I'm thinking, 'yeah, we're going to be telling everybody to come look at this website where I talk about the sins I did.' "
But after representatives from the church explained the purpose of the website to her and asked her to participate, she and her husband talked and prayed about it and felt it was the right thing for them to do. The filming process was sensitively handled, she felt, and talking to her children about it was a sweet experience.
"After talking to my oldest daughter, I asked her if she was going to be embarrassed by having me on a church website talking about my experiences with same-gender attraction, and she said, 'I'm not embarrassed. I'm proud of you for doing it,' " Campbell said. "My youngest daughter was like, 'oh sure, no problem.' It was no big deal to her."
As far as members of her new ward are concerned, she said, "Well, when they see it, they'll know. My motto in this has been the lyric of a hymn: 'Do what is right, let the consequence follow.' "
She has already received responses from friends who know her and her personal history.
"The first phone call came from a friend of mine who is a lesbian and not a church member," Campbell said. "She said she had just seen the website and was moved by it. She said, 'I am just so proud of you.' That meant a lot to me, coming from someone who is living the lifestyle."
Another call came from a friend who is LDS and who struggles with reconciling her faith with same-sex attraction. "She said she felt like there were angels behind this website," Campbell said. "She felt the spirit so strongly. I'm like, 'well, yeah — that's what we were going for.' "
Campbell has told her story before, in a book published by Deseret Book in 1994 called "Born That Way?" She has spoken about her experiences at several annual conferences of Evergreen International, an independent organization that focuses on same-sex attraction from within the perspective of the doctrines, teachings and policies of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She also has a blog with North Star, a website for Latter-day Saints dealing with issues surrounding homosexual attraction.

Long Branch, NJ -- Clean Water Action* announced its endorsement of Cory Booker for US Senate at a joint press conference on the boardwalk here today. Amy Goldsmith, Clean Water Action, made the following statement.

Thank you for helping to make our 2014 event for young people a success! Student Day 2015 will be held next spring.
Student Day at the Capitol is at the forefront of an incredible swell of pro-life convictions among young people.
Consider the following:
Young people have witnessed the destruction caused by abortion and have naturally developed a desire to protect women and unborn children.
Given this overwhelming interest and energy in young people, MCCL offers a unique opportunity each spring for students to become citizen lobbyists. Student Day at the Capitol enables students to learn about the pro-life movement and actually participate in the political process by meeting with their legislators.
All students, grades 7–12, are invited to participate in this exciting day at the State Capitol to celebrate life and to learn the importance of protecting life through the legislative process.
"All students in grades 7-12 who are interested in government and want to learn how to get involved in the pro-life movement should attend!" said Jennifer Kistler, MCCL programs coordinator.
Student Day at the Capitol begins at the St. Paul Kelly Inn at 8:30 a.m., with information sessions on how a bill becomes a law, current pro-life issues and legislation, and how to lobby. MCCL's team provide students with insights into the legislative process and the history, alternatives and effects of abortion. Students also learn about other pro-life issues and the importance of citizen lobbying.
In the afternoon, students have the opportunity to lobby their own legislators about current pro-life issues, tour the Capitol and watch the Minnesota Senate or House of Representatives in action. Young people also learn how to bring the pro-life message back to their school or community and how they can stay involved in the pro-life movement. The day ends around 3:00 p.m.
"I wish MCCL's Student Day had been available when I was in high school," said MCCL Legislative Associate Andrea Rau. "The young people who attend really enjoy learning about government, life issues and how the whole bill process works."
Young people are the future of the pro-life movement! MCCL Student Day at the Capitol provides them with a unique opportunity to voice their pro-life convictions with a hands-on experience in law and politics!

Florida's unemployment agency director has asked for an investigation into a federally funded jobs agency that is giving 6,000 superhero capes to the jobless.
Workforce Central Florida spent more than $14,000 on red capes as part of a media campaign to raise awareness of its services, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
The jobs agency plans to distribute the superhero capes to residents taking part in the agency's "Cape-A-Bility Challenge" by trying to vanquish "Dr. Evil Unemployment."
Residents of central Florida can win a cape by becoming a Workforce Central Florida fan on Facebook, taking a Facebook quiz, having a photo taken with a foam cutout of Dr. Evil Unemployment, tweeting a job posting, or using LinkedIn to recommend someone using the word "super."
The agency also spent about $2,300 on 12 five-feet-tall foam board cutouts of Dr. Evil Unemployment.
Florida Director Cynthia Lorenzo said the spending seemed "insensitive and wasteful" and has asked for an investigation.

In Politics and Leadership, Declaring Victory Often Means the Opposite
I once had a friend who would always offer this rejoinder whenever he thanked me for doing some small favor, to which I always responded, "It was the least I could do." We'd always share a laugh when he would come back with, "The least you could have done is nothing. And doing nothing is always an option."
Indeed. But sometimes doing something is worse than nothing. Ostensibly, you elect representatives to get up to Washington and DO something. They go in with big ideas, but then political reality sets in, they compromise, pass something, and declare victory.
Translation: "Voters elect us to pass laws, so we passed one. We know it may well be a boondoggle. In our heart of hearts, we think it definitely won't achieve the goals it sets out to, but you will have re-elected me by then, so who cares?" The truth is, voters elect you to lead, and passing laws is only an important part of the job of leadership.
Declaring victory, on the other hand, is cynical, political, and it sure as heck isn't leadership.

Spring practices organized team activities if you prefer are not mandatory in the NFL, but attendance is preferred.
In the NFL, OTAs are different from training camp in terms of access. Every training camp practice is open to the media and many of them are open to the fans.
Football season is about three months away, which means fantasy football season is about three months away. Which means those looking ahead are ranking NFL players already.

text: So ESPN just announced on Sports center that Patricia Carroll is at it again. She has now announced that she is going to be filling a civil suit against both Jameis Winston and the Tallahassee Police department. And they quoted her as saying that she "wants heads to roll". This woman needs to give up. If there was anything to the claims Meggs would have taken the to trail. Do we know expect Jansen to file a counter claim for defamation of character or something along those lines? Really surprises me the sorry excuse for a lawyer didn't try and announce this a day or two before the BCS national championship game.

Casino cliffs is the first major climbing area at Jacks Canyon you'll come to and is immediately across the canyon from the bottom of the access trail from the campsites. With morning sun and afternoon shade you can always pick the right season here. Grades of all abilities and typically great solid rock and well protected routes makes this a great area for climbers wanting variety but expect a social gathering. Fairly well protected from the common winds as a bonus!! Have Fun
Getting There
From the campsites, follow the access trail down into the canyon. Once at the bottom, go straight across the canyon floor and wash to the Casino Cliffs. Total approach time from the campsites should be no more than about 10 minutes and only one minute once at the bottom of the canyon!!

At first, it was hard to find the protestors, because they were often mobile. We first encountered them blocking an intersection and standing on the light rail tracks. "Whose streets?" They yelled. "Our streets!"
There about 150 of them, mostly anarchists and punks, gathered to show their anger over police abuse. The recent riots in Ferguson, Missouri, triggered following the death of 16-year-old Mike Brown, were the perfect catalyst for officer-related injustice here in downtown Phoenix.
After all, it wasn't even two weeks ago that Michelle Cusseaux of Maryvale was shot and killed by police. According to authorities, she tried to attack officers with a hammer after they attempted to transport her to an inpatient psychiatric facility. "Justice For Michelle" signs abounded, who was shot on August 14th. Her family, demanding answers, appeared at City Hall Friday August 22nd with her body in a coffin.
The Saturday night protest began at Downtown Phoenix Civic Space Park, but the group moved all over the place, stopping traffic, crossing through Copper Square retail spaces, shouting outside bouncing clubs on Washington Street and pounding on the windows outside 12 News Station.
There was no police-on-civilian violence here, unlike in Missouri, and no one was arrested or teargassed. More protests are said to be in the works.

DBHR Update Newsletter
September 2014
Director's Note
By DBHR Director, Chris Imhoff
September is National Recovery Month - Join the Voices for Recovery!
Each year the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration provides many online resources for promoting and celebrating recovery throughout communities. Now in its 25th year, National Recovery Month promotes the benefits of prevention, treatment, and recovery for mental health and substance use disorders.
This year's theme, "Join the Voices for Recovery: Speak Up, Reach Out" encourages people to openly speak up about the reality of recovery, and to educate their community members about how to recognize when someone needs help for a behavioral health issue, and how to get help.
Recovery Month spreads the positive message that behavioral health is essential to overall health, that prevention works, treatment is effective and people can and do recover. The Recovery Month web site includes print, web, TV, radio and social media tools to promote recovery in your community.
There is also a Community Events page to find an event, post an event, or get ideas for promoting your event. Some of the events planned for Washington State include:
" Sept 6: Potluck in the Park, Yakima
" Sept 6: Recovery Reigns, Everett
" Sept 7: Run for Recovery, Wall Walla
" Sept 10-11: Celebrating Wellness, Seattle
" Sept 12-14: Recovery NW Project's conference, recovery forum, recovery walk, and Hands Across the Bridge, Vancouver/Portland.
Be sure to visit the Voices for Recovery page where you can share in the success of others and share your own story. This is one of the best ways to educate the public that treatment works and recovery is possible.
Wishing you much success in your recovery month outreach efforts,
The state Department of Social and Health Services has received approval from Gov. Jay Inslee to spend up to $30 million to purchase mental health treatment services for some of the 200 patients involuntarily detained outside of certified evaluation and treatment facilities due to overcrowding.

The DSHS Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery (DBHR) has partnered with state and community organizations to reach parents, caregivers, and youth with information about the risks of underage marijuana use, and the new laws. As part of our ongoing support of preventing teen substance use, we have created a Toolkit for Preventing Underage Marijuana Use, with information about the risks, and ways to help teens make healthy choices. The Toolkit includes instructions for ordering free copies of the parent guide and a 502 information card for your community.
Oxford House Allows People to Experience Many Firsts
By Kasandra, a resident of a Washington Oxford House
Oxford House helped me save my life. I have had the chance to experience so many "firsts" thanks to living in an Oxford House for the last year and a half. I learned how to be self-supporting, how to keep a job, how to drive, and how to be an active member of society.
I have also had the opportunity to travel across the country for the first time to be a part of the 2013 Oxford House World Convention in Washington, D.C. That experience was definitely the most exciting and interesting thing I have done so far. I am so grateful for my first chapter sending me.
Attending the World Convention solidified my passion for Oxford House. I had the opportunity to hear other member's experiences, strengths, and hope from all over our country and even other parts of the world. I learned so much in the variety of panels and general sessions I attended, and felt proud to bring that information back to my chapter. It was amazing to see how huge our Oxford House family is. I felt an overwhelming sense of fellowship throughout the entire convention. All in all, it was a great experience and I look forward to attending the 2014 Convention in Portland, Oregon!

That ban came after nine Central Washington University students became ill after drinking Four Loko at a party. Read more ...

Educational Resources for Mental Health Month: According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, about one in five American adults experienced a mental illness in 2012. Unfortunately, less than half received any mental health services. The top three reasons given for not receiving help: they could not afford the cost, they thought they could handle the problem without treatment, or they did not know where to go for services. To help increase understanding about mental health conditions, and treatment and recovery resources, SAMHSA has developed a planning guide for Community Conversations about Mental Health in English and Spanish.
Another opportunity to educate families and other community members is Children's Mental Health Awareness Day, May 8th. DBHR staff will participate in a program on La Nueva Radio to raise awareness about mental health conditions and how to access services.
National Prevention Week is May 18-24. National Prevention Week is a SAMHSA-supported annual health observance dedicated to increasing public awareness of, and action around, substance abuse and mental health issues.

Washington's Attorney General Confirms Cities Can Ban Marijuana Businesses.

Fewer people in Washington died from prescription pain medication overdoses between 2008 and 2012, after an eightfold increase in the last decade. The overdose death rate dropped by 27 percent and the number of deaths went from 512 in 2008 to 388 in 2012; this was tempered by an increase in heroin deaths, which rose from 146 in 2008 to 231 in 2012.

Our strategy
Akuo Energy is France's leading independent producer of renewable energy, and in mid-2014 we had 469 MW of capacity in facilities in operation or under construction. The Group was founded in 2007 and is 80%-owned by its co-founders. Our revenue comes from the green power generation facilities that we develop in-house and then operate. We are an integrated player covering the entire value chain, developing and fi nancing projects, supervising construction and operating the completed facilities.
We are diversifying our business in two ways. In geographical terms, we are expanding globally and currently have subsidiaries in nine different countries – France, the United States, Uruguay, Croatia, Poland, Dubai, Indonesia, Turkey and Luxembourg – that each serve as a base for regional development. We are also diversifying in technological terms, developing projects to generate power using the full spectrum of existing renewable energy sources, wind, solar, biomass and hydro: rivers, seas and oceans.
In 2013, Akuo Energy's total billings came to €76 million from sales of green electricity and thermal energy. We had a workforce of 153 people at the end of the year.
Our goal is to increase worldwide installed capacity to over 3,000 MW within five years.

NFL faces challenge to entertain 2010 Pro Bowlers
- 4:27 pm Wednesday, May 6th, 2009 by Brian Biggane
Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis is already on record of being disappointed that next year's Pro Bowl will be at Dolphin Stadium. After all those neat trips to Hawaii, Lewis has said, what's to get excited about playing the game in his own hometown?
One can only imagine Dolphin players, particularly those who spend the offseason here, and the many other NFL'ers with South Florida roots such as Ravens' safety Ed Reed feeling the same way. [More]
Source: Dolphins top C Jason Brown's wish list
- 2:43 pm Wednesday, February 25th, 2009 by Brian Biggane
The Dolphins' offensive line concerns could be history in a matter of days.
According to an NFL source, Miami tops the list of teams Baltimore center Jason Brown is considering if he becomes a free agent Friday.
Center appears to have become the team's top priority, at least on the offensive side of the ball. The Dolphins are set at tackle after signing Vernon Carey to a six-year deal last week, and landing Brown would likely move Samson Satele to guard, where he would compete for a starting job with returnees Justin Smiley and Donald Thomas. Andy Alleman would become backup center. [More]
Jason Brown or Bart Scott won't make it to free agency
- 9:45 am Tuesday, February 24th, 2009 by Post Staff
The Dolphins aren't going to get a shot at one of the players who has their attention as free agency approaches.
Either Ravens center Jason Brown or linebacker Bart Scott will be re-signed before free agency begins at midnight Thursday, their agent, Harold Lewis, told The Baltimore Sun in today's editions.
The Dolphins are interested in both and inquired about them last week in Indianapolis at the NFL scouting combine, an NFL source said.
Brown would fill a huge need because the Dolphins staff has concluded Samson Satele is not the answer at center and Scott would upgrade the linebacker position which will have a hole to fill if Channing Crowder becomes a free agent, as expected.

I'm getting so tired of working and writing about campaign/election stuff, that I thought I would write/talk about my favorite topic - vacations and travel! So, as an older single (over 45, 50, 55, 60, 65 - you get the picture), do you travel by yourself, with friends, relatives, organized groups? And, where do you go - what cities, countries, continents? What kind of vacations do you enjoy - relaxing on the beach, kayaking in the ocean, trekking up mountain, watching theatre/concerts in NY or big city, driving around the country, backpacking around Europe, volunteering in Africa, etc., visiting museums in DC, or just hanging around a relative's/friend's house somewhere?
And,perhaps most importantly to us here on CM, have you ever met someone special (as in a future date, significant other, potential mate) on any of these vacations? If so, where, when and what were you doing when you met this person and did it end up in a dating relationship or just an enjoyable dinner in your favorite place?
Hmm! I just don't feel the need to take avacation from being permanently on vacation.
I do think it is time to head East this Spring to see the relatives that are still alive before they are all gone
Does that count as a vacation?

Greenfield - A strong showing in the Woodland Conference Tournament on Saturday gave the Greenfield girls volleyball team plenty of momentum for this week's start of WIAA tournament play.
The Hustlin' Hawks, who held the third seed, won their pool with a 2-0 mark, then battled second seed New Berlin West for three tough games before falling, 27-25, 20-25, 25-19, in the semifinal match.
"We played well against New Berlin West," coach Britany Pfeifer said. "We had the chance to win the first game and didn't finish, but I was very proud of how the team came back in the second game. We were down by six points and were able to rally back."
Shannon Molter dropped in a kill to bring Greenfield within 17-16, but the Vikings went back on top 19-17.
The Hawks then rattled off six straight points. Jessie Kalous started the surge with a kill and Luci Krenzke served an ace to tie it at 19. Later, a pair of blocks lifted the Hawks to a 23-19 edge.
After West scored, a drop shot by Kalous and a kill from Franny Wenninger secured the victory.
The third game was tied six times, the last at 12-12, before West used a 7-2 run to go up 19-14. The margin reached 24-15, then the Hawks tallied four straight, keyed by kills from Wenninger and Marlene Hagen, to come within 24-19.
The Vikings, however, finally clinched the game, and the match, on the next point.
Wenninger led the Hawks with 12 kills, while Kalous totaled 10 kills and four blocks, Chesca Pancorbo 32 assists and six digs, Lauren Bullock three kills and 18 digs and Sam DeLeon five kills and 10 digs.
In pool play, Greenfield downed Shorewood, 25-13, 25-16, behind five kills from Hagen, 18 assists by Pancorbo and 14 digs from Bullock.
Against Pewaukee, the Hawks won 25-14, 25-13, as Wenninger had eight kills, Pancorbo 18 assists and Krenzke six digs.
As the focus now shifts to the playoffs, Pfeifer knows her team has one major concern as the WIAA playoffs begin this week.
"This team is working on finishing a big match," Pfeifer said. "Our goal is to accomplish this in postseason play."
Greenfield (18-11) begins regional play at 7 p.m. Thursday against West Allis Central (7-16), which finished sixth in the Greater Metro Conference.
"We are really focusing on using the home court to our advantage and leaving every last point on the floor," Pfeifer said.
The winner takes on either Racine Park or Milwaukee Hamilton on Saturday.
Greenfield would travel to Park and would host Hamilton.

Class Act: Oakstone Academy integrates autistic students with others
Oakstone Academy is the first of its kind for Florida. There's only one other school like it in the nation.
What makes this Lake Worth private school unique is that 40 percent of the children have autism, a developmental disorder that can affect social and communications skills.
Oakstone Academy aims to integrate autistic students with other students.
"What we're able to offer is a very small classroom with lots of adults who are engaged almost 100 percent of the time with students," explained Principal Liat Krits.
At Oakstone Academy, there are six teachers to every one student.
The students learn reading, writing and math. There is also a heavy focus on social skills.
"I have many parents of children with autism who tell me that for the first time their child has friends, their child is playing, their child is not sitting alone in a corner," said Krits.
Parent volunteers also play a big part at Oakstone Academy.
Drew McGeary is a regular. He said the social integration at Oakstone benefits not only his son, who has autism, but his daughter who doesn't.
"She's actually a lot more social, too," said McGeary, "She's shy in a big setting, so with the small classroom, she's a lot more open, a lot more happy and has a lot more friends."
Oakstone Academy is only in its second year and right now only has three classrooms. It serves pre-kindergarten through fourth grade. The school eventually plans to expand and go all the way through high school.

My hat's off to her.
I'd like to hear more on the Flaccus Colony, souund very interesting.
How exciting for them. Good luck, and keep us posted.
I think the fact that the child had wandered off before and CPS had been involved was a factor. I have to agree though, losing his child should be enough to throw out the charges.
I didn't know that, thanks for sharing.
I'm curious to see if the totals changed.
It's always nice to see some positive news about Victoria.

DevOps Summit Early Bird Savings here!
With its heavy focus on automation and increased production speeds, the emerging DevOps paradigm draws very real parallels to the industrial revolution, only in the new modern era of tech production.
In his session at 2nd DevOps Summit, Rajat Bhargava, co-founder and CEO of JumpCloud Inc., will aim to first define the transformative DevOps movement from the unique, dual vantage points that he's grown to know very well over the course of his career - as a tech CEO and an investor of tech companies.
The presentation will also outline the most common manual tasks that are ripe for automation, and subsequent best practices for streamlining the DevOps lifecycle through automated provisioning, configuration, monitoring and management. Despite reports from leading experts like Gene Kim that prove that DevOps teams are more Agile and reliable, with 30 times more frequent deployments and 8,000 times faster cycle times, many in the industry remain skeptical about the power of automating basic IT processes to drive real business results. This presentation will clarify the benefits of DevOps from both a technical and business perspective, and advance the movement by sharing proven best practices built upon years of experience.

Rajat Bhargava currently serves as co-founder and CEO of JumpCloud Inc., a provider of server management and security tools for DevOps and IT professionals. An MIT graduate with two decades of experience in industries including cloud, security, networking and IT, Mr. Bhargava is an eight-time entrepreneur with five exits including two IPOs, three trade sales and three companies still private.

There is a dividing line in my American generation. Placement on either side is an accident of your moment of birth. The younger cohort never completely comprehends why the memory is so powerfully meaningful. On my side each of us recalls exactly where he or she was when we heard. Vividly, unerringly, precisely, with no equivocation. I write, of course, about the Kennedy assassination—a violent act from which I have been attempting to extract meaning since I was eight years old.
If there is one undergirding theme in my fiction—in The Navigator and in the new novel on which I am now working—it's this: The past is never really the past, even if it's not your own past. The meaning of the past can come only from story, from narrative, from expression. I have five stories to share that illustrate my reluctant obsession of a half-century.
I am a fourth grader at Miller Heights Elementary School in Bethlehem Township, Pennsylvania. I am standing in the back of Joe Garbush's fourth grade classroom, near the door. It is almost afternoon recess. Nan Watt, the school secretary, bursts in—she has never done this before—and she is distraught, barely contained, her eyes wildly searching for the teacher. She is about six feet away from me. Four words. I still remember the contraction: "The President's been shot!" She moves on quickly, presumably to the next classroom. We all return to our seats and say not much of anything. The recess bell rings. We put on our coats and file out, all but two girls—I recall exactly who they were, but shall not identify them here. They sit at their desks, crying silently. We tough guys walk around the playground subdued, talking, speculating. We return early as the intercom system, crackly, broadcasts the news. President Kennedy is dead. "Sit and listen," our teacher says. We comply. I did not know it then, but The Sixties began on that day.
On Sunday, November 24, 1963 I go to church with my family, which includes my maternal grandmother, born into near-medieval poverty in Hungary in 1892. The homily for the dead President by our Lutheran pastor is delivered both in English and Hungarian. Years later my mother will recall that his message never made mention of the President's Roman Catholic faith. We return home. I turn on the television, a vertical black and white Philco console, for my grandmother and me to watch together. The middle generation, my parents and a collection of uncles and aunts, is conversing quietly in the kitchen. My mother tends my brother, a toddler not yet three years old. This is where we are when my grandmother and I watch Lee Harvey Oswald get shot on live TV. It is the second time in my young life that I see a man die violently in person, in real time. It will not be the last.
For Christmas in 1963 among my presents is a fat commemorative comic book, "Giant Christmas Issue . . . Dennis the Menace—Dennis in the Christmas City," Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. I show it to my cousin Patricia. The plot of the comic has Dennis mail ordering a collection of outrageous, extravagantly expensive gifts—including an elephant—from the Neiman-Marcus catalog. The stuff is shipped to Bethlehem from Dallas. When Pat reads this, her eyes well up. "Dallas!" she yelps. "I never want to go there, and I don't ever want to hear about that awful place in my whole life." She is eleven years old. This is an age when you absorb and sometimes say things that your family expresses privately. Much later in life I realize how powerfully pervasive that her sentiment was and how long it took Dallas to transcend.
In the early summer of 1964 we visit my uncle and his family in Washington. On our first day there we go to Arlington National Cemetery to Kennedy's temporary gravesite. It is spare, noble, square-rimmed by a white picket fence. My father and his brother are silent. So am I. About 20 or 30 people stand there, all uprightly reverent. In the decades that follow I move here myself and return to Arlington often—an obligation that goes with the territory of military service. I have a lot of friends there now. On my most recent trip I make it a point to walked around the permanent Kennedy gravesite. I turn my back on the raucous chatty tourists, as furious at their behavior as I am at the loss of the dignity I experienced sixty yards away in 1964.
In 1984 in Boston I get to know Dave Powers, maybe Kennedy's closest friend and certainly his fixer. He's running the Kennedy Library out on Columbia Point in Dorchester. I'm a graduate student researching the Kennedy presidency. I don't dare ask him about Dallas, even when our conversations inevitably turn to the meaning of Jack Kennedy. Powers was riding in the motorcade in the car immediately behind JFK and is in the Zapruder film. Once I say to him—trying to be sensitive but coming across, I'm sure, with fairly meaningless rhetorical flourish—"You still really miss him, don't you?" Powers pauses, genuine emotion rising as he replies, "Every day, Mike. Every single day of my life."
It's Thanksgiving weekend, real time, 2013, this weekend. My grown children, 30 and 25, are with Barbara and me. The kids are remarking about the waves of fiftieth anniversary coverage of the Kennedy assassination. So I tell these stories and others. I explain how the conspiracy theories give cognitive comfort to the seemingly inexplicable then and now—a loser like Oswald, who even failed at being a communist, murdering our President. I wax on about a different, simpler age, my past gone but ingrained, an America one-third the size of our nation today, in a political landscape of friction and compromise, not hatred and recalcitrance. They understand . . . and then again, they don't.
The event's meaning was more than Kennedy, more than our loss of American innocence. It was the one moment during which we last held our national emotions undiffused, together as one.
Yes. Oswald acted alone.

There is freedom in surrender. Give me faith give me strength enough to wait,
to stand in faith and listen for your melody…your songs have never stopped. Kari Jobe
Today I sit as the beauty, majesty, grace and Love of Jesus overwhelms my soul.
As I lay all I am at His feet, He restores me. He renews my spirit, He breathes life into my very being… and I surrender.
I am overwhelmed as His goodness and mercy floods over me. I am overwhelmed at His great, unchanging, undying love for me…for you.
Jesus loves me, and you, so deeply that He left his rightful throne to live as a man, though without sin as to be the example set before us and to pay the steep price for my sin…for your sin. He gave himself for me…for you. His cross was marked with the all the transgressions of humanity and He choose to endure its shame in order to give me freedom and life. He paid my debt…willingly. He loved me so much that he stretched out his arms and with His last breath spoke of forgiveness. He gave His LIFE that I may have Life. He took the keys of death and Hell so that we may live victoriously here and in eternity. Praise the Lord! Alive and seated in the Heavens above at the right hand of the Father, He sings over me.
His love song flows like warm oil over my soul, and I allow it to reach into the deep crevices I keep concealed. His song is beauty for ashes, strength for fear, gladness for morning, and peace for despair. His song brings joy and healing!
His songs of redemption, love, healing, and grace fill my heart. I hear the ballots in the breeze. I see the music in the flurry of snow and the drops of rain that quench a dry summer day. His song quenches my dry soul.
Be quiet my soul. Be still my restless mind. For it is in those quiet moments that I hear His song the loudest. It's in those moments that I am filled to overflowing. It's there, in the quiet, I drink deep of His mercies and love.
We have a Loving Father that is waiting, with arms open wide to heal us, love us and renew us. He longs to hear our triumphs, to wipe the tears and to carry us when we can no longer walk. His light illuminates the darkness, and with His tender hand he wipes away the stains. He polishes away the tarnish to reveal the shimmer beneath. Gentle are His hands.
No matter where you are…He sees you. No matter what you've done or how you live, He longs to save you, to show you His love, to rescue and restore you to the Life He has planned for you to live. For His love is deeper and truer than any man's love. It is eternal, unmerited, forgiving and unconditional.
He loves you.
Today…this moment…won't you be still and allow Him to write upon your heart His love for you. Be still and let Him speak to you what beauty he beholds in you. Let the bridegroom whisper His unending love for you, His beautiful bride.
Surrender is beautiful. There is true freedom in surrender.
"Here before your alter I am letting go of all I've built. Of every motive, every burden everything that's in myself. In your presence I am not afraid of Brokenness. To wash your feet with humble tears, oh I would be poured out till nothings left. I just want to wait on you my God I just want to dwell on who you are.
Beautiful, Beautiful, Oh I am lost for more to say. Beautiful, Beautiful, Oh Lord, your beautiful to me."
-Kari Jobe
Lord, in this moment show us the reality of who you are. Let us see your love for us, your majesty, your tender mercies. Help us to know your gentle and loving touch. May we be renewed in you this very moment and overwhelmed with your presence. May we share your mercies with others. May the hope and freedom we experience be a catalyst to share with others you put in our path. May your love spread like wildfire from the moments we spend in the quiet as you sing over us.
Sweetly Broken, Wholly Surrendered
