Automation and Virtualization Increase Utilization and Efficiency of J2EE Applications
Cassatt Corporation
Written By:
(Originally Published On:)
As enterprise Java has become more and more pervasive, IT has used Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) technologies to build many of its most mission-critical applications, typically over-provisioning hardware to guarantee performance—at an extremely high price. Hence, the goal of automation and virtualization software: to enable IT to provide applications at required service levels and reduced costs.

10 Pains Wreaking Havoc on Your HR Department
Written By:
The human resources (HR) department historically was siloed, functioning independently of other business units and acting as corporate watchdog. Today, companies recognize that human capital is their greatest asset, and HR connects people and cultivates the environment in which they thrive.
A range of applications have come onto the market in recent years designed to help HR professionals. They increase efficiency by cutting back on administrative tasks, in theory freeing up time for HR to focus on value-added functions. But HR professionals are still feeling business pains.
This white paper considers current HR challenges, among them employee recruitment, engagement, and retention. It also suggests how automation, integration, and visibility are vital to the effective functioning of the HR department.

Credit Risk Management: Collateral, Covenants and Risk Review
Written By:
If your organization is still managing credit risk manually, you could be leaving your company open to experience significant losses and complications that can harm its financial well-being. Multiple systems, piles of paper, inconsistent or out of date information- all could end up costing your company dearly. Today, the best way to ensure that credit risk is being appropriately monitored and managed is with the adoption of an automated system. With the implementation of an automated system, accuracy of data and efficiency of execution are significantly improved, and risk is monitored in a superior and more effective manner.
In this white paper, IBM highlights the benefits that an automated system for credit risk management can bring to your organization, including a reduction of human error on multiple levels, a marked increase in compliance, the capability to quickly track a data trail, and the capacity to effortlessly update and upgrade across multiple accounts and systems. Automation means valuations are up to the minute, and that transparency is increased. Document imaging, data entry, and automated workflow can resolve many problems previously encountered with manual procedures.
IBM's Business Analytics offers a comprehensive 5-point action plan involving the importance of automating collateral processes, how to consolidate diverse systems and data, the benefits of automating collateral and covenant monitoring to reduce risk with the latest available information, and how automation supports release processes for minimized risk. Credit risk management can be modernized and refined as a result of changing towards an automated system.

More Efficient Virtualization Management: Templates
Written By:
Historically, IT administrators have provisioned new servers with every new application, resulting in a large number of servers with utilization rates of 10 to 15 percent or less, commonly known as server sprawl. Server sprawl is responsible for a range of costs, including infrastructure, hardware, software, and management costs. So why hasn't hardware virtualization solved your server sprawl issues yet?

Student Settles Over Confederate Dress
Jacqueline Duty filed a lawsuit after Greenup County school officials called the dress too controversial and kept her out of Russell High School's May 1, 2004 prom.
Duty claimed the district violated her First Amendment right to free speech and to celebrate her heritage.
School officials notified the U.S. District Court last week about the settlement. Duty's attorney, Earl-Ray Neal, confirmed a settlement had been reached but said the terms will not be disclosed.
The settlement must be approved by the judge, Neal said.

Offensive to whom? The indoctrinated? Certainly not those who accept differences of opinion as a part of life. Let's see--we'll "celebrate diversity" while forcibly condemning/suppressing opposing thought. That is spelled f-a-s-c-i-s-m. And the worst fascists are the current crop of politically correct elites who smugly and self-righteously act as judge, jury, and executioner without even knowing the parties involved or the facts about the case. I guess Jackie has no rights because she doesn't think like you. How pathetic!

Yeah, her right to be a pro-active racist and to engage in offensive social behavior should be celebrated by all of us.

Option Brief: Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO) was hit with a barrage of bullish trading activity yesterday, as around 100,000 calls crossed the tape -- almost double the equity's average daily call volume. By comparison, just 45,000 puts were exchanged during Monday's session.
Snagging the lion's share of the attention was the January 2014 22 strike, which saw 27,055 calls change hands -- 83% of which did so at the ask price, signaling buyer-fueled activity. Meanwhile, open interest spiked by 17,140 contracts overnight, confirming the initiation of new long positions.
By purchasing the calls to open, the speculators are betting on CSCO to muscle north of the $22 mark by the close on Jan. 17, 2014, when these front-month options expire. This denotes a rise of 2% from yesterday's closing price of $21.57, as well as territory not explored since Nov. 13 -- the day before a guidance-related bearish gap.
Technically speaking, Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO) hasn't had much to write home about, as the shares have advanced less that 10% year-to-date. Adding insult to injury, the tech concern has lagged the broader S&P 500 Index (SPX) by 15.7 percentage points during the past three months.

(Elsa/Getty Images)Chris Carpenter, the 2005 NL Cy Young Award winner, is retiring after lingering issues with his right shoulder kept him out for all of last season, the St. Louis Cardinals announced this week. The news confirms what his agent, Bob LaMonte, announced in October. General Manager John Mozeliak said that the team, which the 38-year-old played for over nine of his 15 years in the major leagues, will look to "identify a future role" for the three-time All-Star, according to the Associated Press report this week.SI WIRE: Cardinals give manager Mike Matheny contract extension through 2017After six years with the Toronto Blue Jays at the beginning of his career, Carpenter finished 95-44 with a 3.07 ERA in his nine seasons with the Cardinals. No other Cardinals pitcher has more postseason victories (10), making him one of the greatest pitchers in franchise history, according to Mozeliak:"When you think back to everything this organization has been through in regard to his ups and downs, he will still go down as one of the greatest we've ever had...We think back to his career and what an amazing one it was. He was part of so many highlights and I think he really created a culture of higher expectations."Because of various lingering injuries, Carpenter made 332 starts over his 15 years in the major leagues. The two-time World Series champion won 21 games in 2005 and led the league in ERA four years later in 2009 when he came back from Tommy John surgery to win the award for NL comeback player of the year.Chairman Bill Dewitt Jr. said Carpenter played a pivotal role in some of the greatest years ever for the organization:"Chris will always be remembered as the leader of the pitching staff during one of the great eras of Cardinals baseball."JAFFE: Prince Fielder for Ian Kinsler is winter's first blockbuster Promoted Stories Comments

This week's product coach assignment:
If you're still using the pre-built content on your XSite from a few years ago, or even last month, you need to take about 15 minutes to customize it.
Listing your coverage areas and your services on your homepage are two of the most important things to have there. They're also really easy to add.
If you're struggling with what to say, just draft up an e-mail to a friend explaining why your firm is the one they should choose. Don't worry about the perfect phrasing. Just be specific and real. Then take that content and paste it into your XSites editor.
In a future assignment, we'll talk about sprucing up your home page with images and buttons. For now just getting the text changed will have a huge impact.
Have a great week and let us know if you have any questions.

ABS, a provider of maritime classification services, launched Chem-eL, a specialized training package designed to support safety and competence in chemical tanker operations. Chem-eL is a sector-specific e-learning marine product developed in accordance with the requirements stated in the International Maritime Organization's International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers and the relevant IMO Model Course. Developed by ABS in cooperation with Malaysian Maritime Academy (ALAM), a subsidiary of the MISC Bhd. (MISC), Chem-eL is designed to enable shipowners in this highly specialized sector to optimize their training programs for shipboard and shore-based staff. "MISC identified a need for an e-learning program that could be used within the MISC and Group company fleet, as well as for students at its own training facilities. Drawing on technical knowledge from within ABS, we were able to develop a curriculum that could additionally serve the wider industry," said ABS Chief Learning Officer Mark McGrath. The package was made available to MISC headquarters in October 2012 for use across the fleet and at its maritime training institution, ALAM, to enable eight months' shipboard and shore-based testing. David Fredrick, Malaysian Maritime Academy Chief Executive Officer, noted that, "Ensuring the required level of safety in chemical tanker operations requires a very high standard of training to support crew competence. When MISC wanted to develop a training package for use at ALAM and across the company, we knew that ABS had the technical and education expertise to support our aims and deliver a package that fulfilled our needs." Chem-eL supports safe and compliant shipboard operations by making the necessary training resources available in a highly flexible way. Accessible online, it requires no specialized software installation. Responsive customer support, user-friendly interface and high quality graphics all enhance the learning experience. Course topics include an introduction to chemical tank practice, chemical and physical cargo properties, hazards and hazard control design, cargo containment and handling systems, safe working practices, pollution prevention and ballast operations. Also covered are tank cleaning operations, risk management, the ship/shore interface, emergency, security and custody transfer aspects relating to carriage of liquid chemicals in bulk. Capt. Loo Eng Chuan, MISC Senior Manager, Operations, Chemical Business Unit, said, "Chem-eL is the first program that provides step-by-step guidance to learners from basic understanding to advanced stages of chemical tanker operations and it also covers commercial aspects of chemical business." eagle.org

My car is long overdue some attention after being neglected over the winter. On the advice of the 'what to use on dark metallic paint' thread, I've bought the Blackfire products for my pearlescent black S3 along with the Megs Quik Clay which I've used before. I've read all the guides on polishedbliss.co.uk, but unfortunately I'm struggling with finding enough time to do everything (wash, clay, polish and then sealant) in one go. Can it be done in stages if the car is not used in between and kept in a garage? Do I need to re-wash between stages, especially claying? Unfortunately the garage is only just big enough for the car everything has to be done out in the open. Washing in the sun is out of the question with the extremely hard water we have here, but I assume claying will be ok in the sun? What about polishing and sealant? And What if it rains in the middle of all this? Also one question about washing - I use NXT generation car wash but don't really get any suds when using wash mitts even though its concentrated and i'm putting a fair bit in the bucket - does the lack of suds matter?
Whilst not an ideal setup, you have to work with what is available, so best to take your time and split the job up if insufficient time is available for a long dauy at it, or the weather intervenes! Claying can be done in full sun, just make sure you work a small area, and mop up the lubricant as you go with a waffle weave towel, otherwise it will dry and leave streaking. Polishing and waxing can also be done in full sun, just work a small area at a time and buff off quickly after application. Golden rule for sun working - keep the work area small. You can break jobs down over several days/weeks, but I'd suggest full wet washing if the car is covered in dust between days spent detailing; the alternative is to buy yourself a nice soft wool duster, and dust it down before starting work again. I have known some guys take up to 6-8 weeks to do a full detail; literally all tasks on just one panel a week, and there is no harm in doing this. If it rains you kind of just have to stop, so try to keep an eye on the sky and avoid applying products when rain looks imminent. Your shampoo need not produce lots of suds if it is well lubricated - lubrication is the most important quality. However, note that NXT is pretty harsh and tends to strip waxes a little, so next time you need to buy more I'd suggest switching to Shampoo Plus instead. :icon_thumright:
Thanks. Actually I have a pressure washer with one of those bottle spray attachments (only a cheap make though), but I have never tried it - would a foam wash be suitable for this (eg Hyper wash)?
Aye, Hyper Wash would be ideal for it, and you may be surprised at the results - even cheapies tend to work fine.
Well I managed to get this all done over the weekend. I must say the Blackfire products were extremely easy to use compared to stuff I've used before - almost no effort required in buffing the stuff off. Ultimately my appreciation of the results were marred by the number of scratches and stone chips on my paintwork. The bonnet was especially bad with a peppering effect all along the front (which admittedly was masked somewhat by the Blackfire glaze): More disappointing is that even with claying, I was unable to remove some glue/resin stuff which has somehow landed on my car in a few places (no idea what this is). Best pic I could get is one from the roof - this is about the size of a 10p coin: There was some of this on my rear windscreen which I've managed to scrub off using "stick stuff remover" spray from halfords. I'm a bit worried about using it on the paintwork, going to take it slow and try it on the spot thats on my rear spoiler next...
Looking good comdw - managed to give my car a clay today - was amazed the difference it made to the feel of the paint and amazed and how much **** the clay got off, even after a wash. Got to just save some pennies for the Werkstatt kit from PB and then it'll be nice and gleaming.
I first clayed my car a couple of years ago and the amount of **** that came off the paint was incredibly. I haven't done it again until now and I was surprised how little came off this time and it was very easy to do, can only be a good thing. Good luck with Werkstatt... hard work but sure it will be worth it.
Have you tried using a strong tar & glue remover like Autosmart Tardis? It can shift gunky deposits that other products fail to touch, and is safe for consumer use on all exterior surfaces. Might be worth a shot?
Thanks, but this spray seems to have worked quite well, I can't see any lasting blemish on the paintwork. Been working through one at a time (re-applying polish and sealant after), only got a couple left now.

Subject: [backpackgeartesters] Extension Request - Nemo OBI 2P Tent - Andrei
Dear Kathy,
I may need a few days extension to finish my LTR for the Nemo tent I am
reviewing. I had a family emergency which required me to travel out of the
country. I expect that I should be back in the US on Tuesday night unless
things take a turn for the worse here. I have a computer with me and plan to
work on the review during the flight home. I have intermittent internet
access until I get home and no access to photos. As a safety precaution I
would like to request a delay until this weekend (Feb 10) but I will aim to
have it done by Tuesday Feb 4 anyway.
Thank you,

I'm Mariella, a 28-gal from Lima, Perú. A pretty confident girl, with a love for food (i'm a good cook myself).
A web designer for almost 10 years now, I obviously enjoy web surfing.
Got a passion for reading. My favorite book ever is "100 años de soledad" (A hundred years of solitude) by Gabriel García Marquez.
I'm kinda chatty, willing to share my knowledge with anyone who is willing to hear.
My main language is spanish, but I also speak english (and write it!) and a little bit of portuguese.
I almost forgot! If you have a kitchen available, I would love to cook a peruvian meal for you and some friends, including me of course ;)
See you soon!

CBS 60 MinutesFacebook's Sheryl SandbergFacebook COO Sheryl Sandberg gave a speech to Harvard Business School in which she said it was OK to cry at work.
Work can be stressful, and people do cry. That goes double in the advertising business, where clients can be capricious with deadlines and creative types often have huge, fragile egos (and the tempers that go with them).Not everyone agrees with Sandberg that the occasional meltdown is OK. When someone starts sobbing at their desk it can bring the entire office to a halt. It's tough to ignore. People want to know: Has there been a death in the family? Is work too stressful? Is this person unable to handle the job? Crying at work has, traditionally, been regarded as a weakness. It's especially something that men don't do. Forty-one percent of women have done it, but only 9 percent of men.So we asked a handful of senior female ad execs in the agency biz what they thought of the issue.Before we get to them, here's what Sandberg told Harvard:
I've cried at work. I've told people I've cried at work. And it's been reported in the press that Sheryl Sandberg cried on Mark Zuckerberg's shoulder, which is not exactly what happened. I talk about my hopes and fears and ask people about theirs. I try to be myself. Honest about my strengths and weaknesses and I encourage others to do the same. It is all professional and it is all personal, all at the very same time.
41% of women do it. But not all of them say it's OK.

OpinionThe struggle for Syria The Syrian people are being sacrificed at the altar of US imperialism, says author. 15 Nov 2011 09:13 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Bahrain, Egypt, France About the Author Joseph Massad Joseph Massad is Associate Professor of Modern Arab Politics and Intellectual History at Columbia University. Story highlightsAs the uprising proceeded in Tunisia last December and January and as it picked up in Egypt in January and February, developments seemed clear. Despite attempts to suppress the press, much of the news of what was unfolding reached national and international audiences immediately. The situation changed dramatically when the uprisings began in Bahrain, Yemen, Libya, Syria, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. While a quasi news blackout suppressed coverage of the ongoing popular revolt and its violent suppression in Bahrain by Bahraini and Saudi forces (and only intermittent coverage of Oman was allowed), we continued to get important updates from Yemen. It was in Libya where the lies and propaganda started from the first week of the revolt. It was there that international forces, extending from "It was the United States that destroyed Syrian democracy in 1949 when the CIA sponsored the first coup in the country ending democratic rule" [GALLO/GETTY As the uprising proceeded in Tunisia last December and January and as it picked up in Egypt in January and February, developments seemed clear. Despite attempts to suppress the press, much of the news of what was unfolding reached national and international audiences immediately. The situation changed dramatically when the uprisings began in Bahrain, Yemen, Libya, Syria, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. While a quasi news blackout suppressed coverage of the ongoing popular revolt and its violent suppression in Bahrain by Bahraini and Saudi forces (and only intermittent coverage of Oman was allowed), we continued to get important updates from Yemen. It was in Libya where the lies and propaganda started from the first week of the revolt. It was there that international forces, extending from the Gulf to Europe to the US, took charge of propagandising against Gaddafi (that he used his forces to strafe demonstrators, that his forces received Viagra and raped hundreds of women, that he used "African" mercenaries against his own people, that he was preparing to use chemical weapons against his people, that he had already killed 50,000 Libyans, etc. - all proved to be lies that international observers and agencies finally exposed as baseless fabrications) and ultimately of overthrowing Gaddafi's dictatorship under the guise of the popular uprising led by NATO forces who actually bombed and killed hundreds of Libyan civilians. We have seen similar developments on the Syrian scene with much propaganda by the regime and its international enemies who also began to speak for the popular revolt, whether in the Gulf-controlled press and satellite television stations, or by the Western media, and the Western "representatives" of the Syrian demonstrators. In the cases of Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, and Yemen (not to mention Morocco, Jordan, Oman, and Saudi Arabia where less massive but substantial demonstrations have continued for months), the Arab League, under US instructions, made no move to intervene at all, while in the cases of Syria and Libya, following US instructions, the League moved swiftly. This is not the first time that the League moves against a member state to facilitate foreign invasions. The dress rehearsal for this was the Iraq situation in 1990/1991, when the Arab League (like the United Nations following the fall of the Soviet Union) became another arm of US imperial power. It was then that the League joined forces with US and European powers to invade the Gulf, which was the first step in legitimising the second American invasion in 2003 to unseat Saddam Hussein. Saddam was a brutal dictator that the US and France helped sponsor in the 1980s and who did their bidding when he invaded Iran, an invasion that led to the death of one million Iranians and four hundred thousand Iraqis. But Saddam was not fully obedient to imperial will and retained a measure of independence from US imperialism despite his valuable services to it. At the time, many cautioned the so-called Iraqi opposition in exile, which called for the invasion, that the US invasion would result in an imposition of a regime that is at least as bad as Saddam if not worse. The loss of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives and the total destruction of the country, the massive current repression and corruption of the American-installed regime, one would think, should be a cautionary tale to any Arab who seeks US help in overthrowing Arab dictators. But if the story of Iraq is ignored, could anyone ignore the calamity that is hitting Libya as we speak under the guise of the new NATO-led government, and the first dose of violence and repression this government has unleashed on the Libyan people in the name of NATO democracy (more doses are in store of course)? Did the Libyan people revolt against the brutal dictatorship of Gaddafi to replace it with NATO-sponsored pillage and repression? A lesson in imperialism This is the lesson for those in Syria who are struggling to bring about democratic rule. The evidence is clear. If you live in an Arab country whose dictator is a client of the Americans, the US will do everything in its power to suppress your revolt, and if you succeed despite US efforts, the US will sponsor the counter-revolution against you directly and indirectly through its local allies, especially Saudi Arabia and Israel, but now also Qatar. This of course applies to the situations in Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen, Morocco, Jordan, Oman, and in Saudi Arabia itself. If you happen to live in a country whose dictator, though friendly to the West, maintains an independent line on foreign policy or at least a line that cannot always be guaranteed to serve Western interests - and this applies to Syria and Iran (and lest we forget their services to the West, both countries helped actively the US effort to unseat Saddam, and the Syrian regime helped with US efforts in supporting rightwing forces in Lebanon against the Lebanese left and the PLO in the 1970s) and less so Libya, then the US will help sponsor your revolt against your dictator to bring about a more pliant dictator to serve its interests without equivocation, and it will do so in the name of supporting democracy. The US also explains its counter-revolutionary efforts in countries where the revolts succeeded in overthrowing the American-sponsored dictators as "pro-democratic" measures. In this context of a US-dominated world, those in Syria who legitimately have struggled and are struggling to bring about an end to dictatorship must face up to a few central questions, now that the Arab League and imperial powers have taken over and assumed the leadership of their struggle: Is the aim of their ongoing uprising the overthrow of the Asad regime in order to bring about a democratic regime, or is it simply to overthrow Asad? As the Iraqi and Libyan precedents make clear, the Arab League and imperial powers have taken over the Syrian uprising in order to remove the Asad regime and replace it with a US-obedient regime like the ones installed in all other Arab countries. The second question for the Syrian demonstrators is clear and unequivocal: given the aim of imperial forces and the Arab League, do Syrian demonstrators understand the new leadership of their struggle by Gulf dictators and the United States as the final defeat of their uprising or as a necessary step for their uprising to succeed? Those who see the Syrian popular struggle for democracy as having already been hijacked by these imperial and pro-imperial forces inside and outside Syria understand that a continuation of the revolt will only bring about one outcome, and it is not a democratic one - namely, a US-imposed pliant and repressive regime à la Iraq and Libya. If this is what the Syrian demonstrators are struggling for, then they should continue their uprising; if this is not their goal, then they must face up to the very difficult conclusion that they have been effectively defeated, not by the horrifying repression of their own dictatorial regime which they have valiantly resisted, but rather by the international forces that are as committed as the Syrian regime itself to deny Syrians the democracy they so deserve. In light of the new move by the Arab League, the US, and Europe, the struggle to overthrow Asad may very well succeed, but the struggle to bring about a democratic regime in Syria has been thoroughly defeated. It was the United States that destroyed Syrian democracy in 1949 when the CIA sponsored the first coup d'état in the country ending democratic rule. It is again the United States that has destroyed the possibility of a democratic outcome of the current popular uprising. My deep condolences to the Syrian people.

Game of Thrones: 5 Things We Love (Slash Are Obsessed With)
Originally posted 04/07/2013 04:20PM
HBO's Game of Thrones, now at the start of its third season, seems to have been weighted into a catapult and sent soaring through the air: What was already a massive hit has become a buzzed-about, addictive phenomenon.
The show is – as one says, of such epic productions – teeming with characters. It swarms with plots, subplots and side-plots. If you missed the first two seasons, you might be afraid to just jump in. Don't be.
Just remember that everyone's motive is essentially the same: Win the Iron Throne and control all the kingdoms. (Think of Jerry Seinfeld chasing down the marble rye, but there are hundred of Jerrys and only one loaf.)
Oh, and everyone wants to avoid being brutally slaughtered.
You'll be hooked fast enough, and you'll develop your own set of obsessions to anticipate each week. These are mine:
Game of Thrones' Maisie Williams Does the 'Cinnamon Challenge'
Originally posted 06/01/2012 07:00PM
Guess you could say she paid the iron spice.
Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams, who plays tough-as-nails Arya Stark on the HBO favorite, attempted the "cinnamon challenge" – an Internet meme where people attempt to eat a tablespoon of cinnamon and go a minute without drinking anything (and film the results, of course).
Trying "loads" of cinnamon, the actress, 15, manages to keep the cinnamon down for a few seconds before spitting it out in a cloud of smoke ... much like a dragon.
"Why is this so entertaining, watching people suffer?" her friend asks. Williams would know: The brutal Game of Thrones is a runaway hit.

Peter Dinklage Should Win an Emmy
Originally posted 07/14/2011 04:20PM
While HBO's epic fantasy series Game of Thrones has stirred much debate over its nudity and violence, Peter Dinklage's scene-stealing turn as Tyrion Lannister has been almost universally praised, even scoring the American actor an Emmy nomination for outstanding supporting actor in a drama series.
His recognition should come as no surprise to fans of the show and author George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire book series, on which Thrones is based, but for newbies looking to understand Dinklage's appeal, here's a few reasons why we think the actor, 42, deserves Emmy gold for bringing Tyrion to life:

It's the strangest thing. Now, with six months of hindsight, the announcement Jason Collins made at the end of April seems to have been inevitable, so commonsensical. Even—almost—less than momentous. That was the accomplishment, the quiet way this giant man made inevitable what had previously been unthinkable.
This is partially due to style, both literary and personal. Collins began his historic Sports Illustrated cover story thusly: "I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay." In twelve words, Collins had established a correct sense of the moment and its proportions; while tacitly acknowledging that he was not—and not trying to be seen at the same level as—a Jackie Robinson, he was also refusing to hide behind any false modesty.
"The order of those three sentences was deliberate," Collins says now. "I do identify myself as a black man before I identify myself as a gay man. It was also important for me to put my age and the length of my playing career before the fact that I'm gay. Twelve years is a long time in any professional sport. I felt that that longevity speaks to something—and to the fact that I've earned a right to speak."
The 3,000 words that followed were just as clean, clear, and unfussy. And seminal: For a hundred years, tens of thousands of men had played professional football, basketball, hockey, and baseball; until Collins wrote what he wrote, none had publicly acknowledged being homosexual prior to retirement. Yet nothing Collins wrote seemed wrought. His subject was wrought, of course. Collins addressed what it was like to live in denial and fear. But he struck a tone of calm recollection that bore no whiff of plea, repff Nothing looking to capitalize. Just a plain self-assessment to which there could be only one response: Of course. The man was irrefutable, yet the force of his story seemed to come not from Collins but from us, and our collective conscience.
Collins's coming out was met with a near unanimous embrace. But that unanimity has allowed a certain forgetfulness to set in, along with a vague suspicion that that embrace was a foregone conclusion. "I had no idea how it would be received," Collins says now. It had been two years since Kobe Bryant had decried a ref as a "faggot." It had been a month since the emergence of videotape showing Rutgers coach Mike Rice flinging that same word (along with basketballs) at his players during practice. And it had been two weeks since the release of 42, which underlined the fact that while professional sports had led the culture in breaking racial barriers, the locker room now lagged far behind the culture in terms of tolerating homosexuals.
"Before the SI story, I was only willing to make a private gesture—the number 98 that I wore last season, for the year Matthew Shepard died," Collins says. "Whenever anyone asked, I said I was trying to mess with the refs." He uses the fingers of both hands to mimic a ref laboriously signaling a 9 and an 8 to a scorekeeper. "It's funny. I was able to use my reputation as a rough player as a cloak." (Collins is a seven-foot, 255-pound monolith who led the league in fouls during the 2004–2005 season.)
In late April, Collins hosted a small gathering at his home in Los Angeles, where he read the essay aloud. His parents were present, as was Franz Lidz, the SI writer with whom Collins partnered. "This was my first time reading it, and I wasn't reading it privately but out loud," says Collins, who had come out to his family in the summer of 2012. "I felt I was discovering my own story. I kept stopping and exclaiming, 'Hey, this is me.' In front of my parents! It was like being present at my own birth. Except it was my parents who were doing all the crying. My mother, especially. She had been the most apprehensive for me. And then she and my father were just so happy, proud, relieved. When we were done, I could just see the weight that had come off of her. And that was when I realized that I felt the same way."
As this article goes to press, Collins, who split his 2012–2013 season between the Celtics and the Wizards, remains a free agent. When asked, "Why aren't you playing?" he responds with his own rhetorical question. "You see me, right? I'm in excellent shape. Right now I feel what I've felt for the last twelve years—that when I'm running up and down the court with my opponent, I'll have that voice in my head saying, 'I trained so much harder in the summertime than this! There's no way you've worked as hard as me!' I've put the time in. I'm ready."
It'd be a good thing for the world if Collins plays again, but it won't diminish his impact if he doesn't. Because nothing about Jason Collins's story was inevitable—neither the breaking of the barrier, nor the seeming ease with which Collins did it. "It was another step in breaking down barriers and allowing people who are uncomfortable with homosexuality to get into an unavoidable conversation," says Lakers point guard and future Hall of Famer Steve Nash. "It's a first step for many people." Undoubtedly it helped that there is nothing in Collins's personality that hungers for the iconic—that he never framed his coming out as anything more than an assist. "The ball had already been rolling," he says. "I just wanted to do my part and give it a push." His role in the culture now parallels the role he's always played in the NBA—not as a star but as a solid, a guy known by players as a wise and steadying locker-room presence and by fans as an enforcer who sets the hard picks and screens that allow others to break on through.
"The greatest moments of my career have come when I've set the picks that have allowed the immensely talented players—Jason Kidd, Rajon Rondo, Vince Carter, Joe Johnson—to take over," he says. "I've always been that role player. I guess I finally realized that role could extend beyond the court."
