Known Issue: Agents over VPN are not receiving updates from server
Article:TECH203999 | | | Created: 2013-03-18 | | | Updated: 2015-02-18 | | | Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH203999 |
NOTE: If you are experiencing this particular known issue, we recommend that you Subscribe to receive email notification each time this article is updated. Subscribers will be the first to learn about any releases, status changes, workarounds or decisions made. |
The customer reported that the SMA agent itself doesn't switch to use the VPN connection until the service is restarted. Clients that boot into a production Windows environment that then switch to a VPN connection, fail to get updates from the SMP.
To speed up connection, agent internally stores cache of IP addresses once the server name is resolved on the first connection attempt. When connection change occurs (such as VPN connection) agent doesn't clear its cache, and still tries to use old IP address, even though it may not be valid anymore.
A permanent fix has been provided in 7.1 SP2 MP1 V5. (See HOWTO81832).
When connection changes (network adapters are added/removed) agent clears connection cache as well.
There is also an Symantec Management Agent pointfix available for customers that have installed ITMS 7.1 SP2 MP1 Rollup v4. See attached file called "Pointfix_eTrack2849031_7.1_SP2_MP1_v4_Agent.zip"
SMP 7.1 SP2 MP1 with Rollup v4 installed (See HOWTO81832)
1. Before PF applying, make sure that NS is not accessible via Internet connection using the same FQDN as via LAN connection!
2. Extract files from the archive to the NS hard drive.
3. Make sure PointFix is extracted not to Altiris install directory (or any subfolder to it)!!!
4. Execute PFInstaller.exe under user with administrative privileges.
5. Accept UAC (User Account Control) prompt, select Install Files. Old SMA will be automatically backuped to the Backup folder at the same location where PFinstaller is and replaced with the new one. Log-file Log.txt will be created at the same location where PFinstaller is.
6. Use Symantec Management Agent upgrade policy to update SMA agent. Clone or re-schedule Symantec Management Agent upgrade policy, if it was already used once.
When connection changes (network adapters are added/removed) agent clears connection cache as well.
Agent version 7.1.15436.8436
This hotfix has the following known issues:
If NS is accessible from both LAN and Internet, with network configuration where Internet connection adds virtual network adapter (such as PPPoE connection), this may result in all NS communication traffic to be redirected to Internet connection.
1. Make sure that Backup subfolder is located in PFinstaller' directory
2. Execute PFInstaller.exe under user with administrative privileges.
3. Accept UAC (User Account Control) prompt, select Uninstall Files.

Hey Guys!
I have a problem. I use Office Outlook 2007 as my calendar at work. I have several calendar names but the default one 'Calendar' i use as a personal one. Now i need to delete this calendar as my colleagues can read my personal appointments, etc. I want to put my calendar 'work' in it's place. Now i can delete all the calendars except 'calendar'. What can i do? Any ideas? I'm even open to the idea of wiping the whole of Office Outlook.

Economics, Linguistic Justice and Language Policy, 2-3 March 2015, Berlin, Germany
The range of problems raised by diversity of languages in international economic and political integration processes calls upon innovative, efficient and fair language policies to manage multilingualism. Language policies are increasingly acknowledged as being a necessary component of many decisions taken in the areas of labour mobility, access to knowledge and higher education, social inclusion of migrants, and they can affect companies' international competitiveness and the democratic control of international organisations.

Big Data: New opportunities and challenges in language acquisition research, 04-Mar-2015 - 04-Mar-2015, Leipzig, Germany
Language acquisition research on topics ranging from phonological processing to semantic knowledge has been built on meticulous examination of small data sets, such as case studies. While we have learned a lot from such careful work, some limitations quickly became evident. A new horizon has opened as bigger, open data sets began to emerge. Early examples are the CHILDES and the MCDI projects. Today, new technologies pave the way to some much needed cross-linguistic extensions, for instance, via automatic annotation of day-long audio(-video) recordings in seldom described languages. It also becomes possible to include other linguistic levels (e.g., receptive knowledge through open repositories of experimental results).

Globalising Sociolinguistics. Challenging the Anglo-Western nature of Sociolinguistics and expanding theories
This conferences addresses mismatches between mainstream sociolinguistic models and non-Anglo-Western sociolinguistic settings. Papers are invited on sociolinguistic issues, from various areas in the world, which challenge or expand mainstream theories. Both theoretical and empirical contributions are welcome. Papers will explore sociolinguistic settings in various regions, focusing on difficulties in applying common theory in the region in question, or the need to expand theory. In so doing, the conference hopes to lay bare the nature and the mechanisms related to the named bias and arrive at a more comprehensive understanding of sociolinguistic issues around the world.

The Digital Agora of Social Media. 26-Jul-2015 - 31-Jul-2015, Antwerp, Belgium
The present day participative Internet, Web 2.0, is often conceived as a space for the public exposure of one's private life. This panel aims to adopt another perspective on Web 2.0. The focus is on how users contribute to public discussions, i.e., take part in the mediated public sphere. The internet and social media consist of spaces of digital agora where social actors cross and blur the boundaries between the public and private spheres, institutions, and everyday life.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Congo: A Good Start
Can it really be as easy as that? Get Rwanda to stop supporting the rebels in eastern Congo, pay the soldiers of the Congolese army on time, send in a United Nations force that actually has orders to shoot, and presto! The bad guys surrender or flee, and a war that has lasted almost twenty years and killed up to five million Congolese is suddenly over.
At least that's the way it is playing in the media (to the extent that news about the Congo plays in the media at all), and there certainly has been a sudden change for the better.
Less than a year ago the latest and one of the nastiest rebel militias, M23, actually occupied Goma, a city of one million people that is effectively the capital of eastern Congo. UN troops watched helplessly from the sidelines and the Congolese government's army got drunk and took revenge on civilians for its defeat, while M23 officers swaggered through the city taking whatever they wanted.
It was so humiliating, so stupid and wrong, that Joseph Kabila, the president of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), to give it its proper name, stripped dozens of officers in eastern Congo of their commands and called them back to Kinshasa. Their replacements had at least a rudimentary grasp of their trade — and they have not yet been in the east long enough to develop lucrative deals with the local mining interests and the militias that feed on them.
The Congolese army's soldiers in the east got some much-needed training in small-unit combat drills. They also started to get paid regularly (in contrast to the more usual pattern where the officers steal their pay and the troops compensate themselves by looting civilians).
Meanwhile the "international community" (aka the United States and its friends) put heavy pressure on Rwanda's President Paul Kagame to stop supporting M23. Recently the US even blocked military aid to the small but heavily armed republic, just across Lake Kivu from Goma, that has been meddling in the DRC's affairs, sometimes even invading the east, for the past two decades. It worked: Kagame stopped answering the phone when M23 called.
Finally, M23 helped by breaking up into rival factions that fought one another. The former commander, Bosco Ntaganda, known as "the Terminator", lost the struggle, and to save his life he fled to the US embassy in Rwanda and asked to be turned over to the International Criminal Court to face trial in The Hague on war crimes charges. His successors were just as cruel and corrupt, but less competent.
The offensive against M23 started two weeks ago, with the DRC troops doing the fighting and the UN "intervention brigade" in support. Apart from firing a few mortar rounds on the last day, the UN troops were not even committed to combat. On Nov. 5, the M23 forces lost their last hilltops and surrendered or fled across the border into Uganda or Rwanda, and the war was over. Maybe.
It is a huge step forward, but the peace will only last if two things happen. One is that the DRC now turns its attention to the biggest remaining militia in the east, the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda.
The FDLR is a Hutu militia, run by the remnants of the Hutu regime that carried out the genocide against Tutsis and Hutu moderates in Rwanda in 1994. Like most of the eastern Congolese militias, the FDLR makes its living by looting the local population and running protection rackets against the rich mining operations in the area, but its ultimate aim is to regain power in Rwanda.
It was the presence of this force just across the border in eastern Congo that caused Rwanda to intervene in its giant neighbour in the first place. M23 was just the last of a series of Tutsi militias that Rwanda created to contain the FDLR, and if it is not destroyed the Rwandan meddling (and the war) will resume.
The other condition for a lasting peace is that the DRC's own troops in the east of the country do not fall back into their bad old ways. There is big money to be made if they collaborate with the various militias in shaking down the mining operations, and it remains to be seen if the soldiers (and members of Kabila's own government) can resist the temptation to profit from deals of this sort.
So it isn't really over yet, but it's a good start. After a generation of carnage, the people of the eastern Congo deserve a better future.

Book Marketing Blogs
by Penny SansevieriMay 22, 2013
For many of us, traffic and website analytics are very foreign ideas. But understanding traffic and reading website analytics reports doesn't have to be a complicated endeavor. First up, let's break down the terminology:
Page views: Each time someone lands on your site (when they load one of your pages) it generates a page view. Keep in mind that this tallies regardless of who visits or how many times they've been to the site. To some degree it is a bad measurement of traffic. We all love returning visitors, but most of us really care about those valuable first time folks.
Visits: This measure shares how many users have spent time on your website, regardless of the number of pages each user views.
Unique visitors: This is an important stat and as the name implies, this metric counts only the unique users who visit the site. If a particular visitor comes to the site every day, it still only counts as one visit.
Pages/visit: This metric shows you how many pages a visitor perused during each session. The higher this number, the better.
Average visit duration: How much time do users spend on the site during each visit? While you want someone to spend a long time on a site, the average time spent is generally 3-5 min and sometimes less. Obviously longer is better, but currently the only site that gets massive visit duration is Facebook, with an average of twenty minutes per visit.
Bounce rate: This number indicates people who "bounce" off of the page. So, someone visits and then decide they are either in the wrong place or you've sent them into "surf shock" and they leave. Generally the lower the number the better, but the average bounce rate is around 50-59%.
% new visits: This measure is the percentage of your traffic from first-time users who have never been to the site before. If you're eager to get repeat people to your site (and this will often depend on the nature of your business) you'll want this number lower than your repeating visitor number.
Understanding Google Analytics
These days, most websites use Google Analytics to measure traffic. It's considered by most web designers to be the gold standard of measurement, and best of all, it's free.
Getting Google Analytics is easy. You simply register on the site and it will give you a snippet of code that will go on each page of your website. Your web person can add this if it wasn't installed when your site was built. Most hosting companies come with a C-panel backend that measures traffic. Even so, I highly recommend getting Google Analytics for accuracy and some other reasons you'll see in a minute.
Once you set up Google Analytics, give it a few days to gather data. Once you do, you'll start to see numbers appear on your dashboard. Google Analytics continues to update their system and recently launched a beta version of real time traffic, available. I tend to watch these real-time traffic numbers pretty closely. It's a great tool if you're on top of a promotion, letting you see what kind of traffic you're driving to your website in real time.
Getting to Know Your Data
When you first start looking through the numbers, you'll want to get a sense of the things we described above: Page Views, Bounce Rate, etc. If you're worried that your bounce rate is too high, consult your web person to see if there's anything you can do to lower it. One of the areas I spend a lot of time on is the Traffic from All Sources page, so I can gauge what hits are coming from where. Not only will this help me create referring traffic from various channels, but it also helps me know what's working and what isn't.
Measuring Social Media
One of the most exciting additions to Google Analytics has been their tracking of social media. This is a fantastic tool that lets you see how much of your traffic is coming from social media. So, what's a good mix? I think half of your traffic should come from social media; the rest should come organically from Google.
Measuring AdWords
Google Analytics can also connect to your AdWords campaign, allowing you to measure how your online ads are performing. If you run ads on your site, click Content > AdSense > Overview to see which pages are earning the most revenue (and how much). You'll need to link them together in the AdSense tool first.
How much traffic you get and how well it's converting will depend on your reach and your website, but knowing these numbers is important. Remember that the significance of each category will depend largely on the industry you're in. If you want lots of returning visitors, then the percent of new visits number will need to be lower. If you're looking for lots of new traffic then unique visitors is what you need to pay attention to.
Getting to know your traffic is not only important, but mandatory if you're going to know how effective your online marketing is. Also, knowing your Google Analytics numbers will show you if there's a problem on your site, like low conversion, which could be because of a broken page or broken link.

Welcome to the May 13, 2013 edition of tips and tricks for writers and authors. We've got some great tips on book marketing, self-publishing, and writing. Thank you to the contributors!
Nina Amir presents What's A Market and Why Do You Need One? posted at Write Nonfiction NOW!, saying, "If you want to publish a successful book, you must have a market that produces enough book sales to reach your sales goals or those of a publisher. Many aspiring authors write their books without first evaluating markets to determine if enough interest exists to support sales of their books and, thereby, publication. Or they propose books to publishers without doing so only to be rejected because no market exists for their books. In this post you learn what a target market is for a book and why you need one."
Book Marketing
Kimberley Grabas presents How to Market a Book and Strengthen Your Author Platform with Goodreads posted at Your Writer Platform, saying, "Imagine a magical place that gathers together 17 million of the most passionate readers who want to talk about, review and buy your book. A place that not only allows, but encourages, both new and established authors to promote their books. A place that provides FREE opportunities to – get your book in front of thousands of buyers, – conduct informal research (polls), – participate in a highly viral environment, – join or create groups with like-minded people on every literary topic imaginable, – create an author presence, connecting your book, your blog and your social media platforms. Now imagine if Amazon purchased this magical realm of high quality, book-buying, book-loving influencers in the spring of 2013, likely leading to big opportunities to align your Amazon marketing to this Utopia. If such a paradise existed, would you want to be a part of it?"

However, with a little creative thought you can often find very effective ways through social media to market your small business and gain more clients."

May 8, 2013
Define Your Goals
Before you put pen to paper to write your sales copy for your website, be clear about your goals. We talked earlier about your goals for building a website—pull those out and look at them again. While you may be building the website to sell more cookies, as you start to look at the broader reach of your message, your goals might change. Perhaps you can put together gift baskets too.
Make sure the copy you are about to write targets those goals. And don't forget to use all the keywords you just selected!
Sell the Benefits
Save the small talk for your next cocktail party. When it comes to filling websites with words, beginners tend to lean towards what I like to call the "cocktail party approach to website copy." What do I mean by this? Well, let's pretend you're at a cocktail party, you're huddled with a group of friends gabbing about everything under the sun, and around you hundreds of other conversations are mingling with your own, making the voices sound like a hum. That's what it's like to a website visitor when you cram a lot of cocktail party copy onto your home page. It's confusing and it's white noise. Chances are good that it will result in a "click" signaling the party's end, your visitor long gone.
Instead, write copy that speaks to your readers and tells them the benefits of your product. Sell the sizzle not the steak.
Make it Scannable
Remember that Internet users scan websites and that relates to how you write good copy. When I spoke to Susan Gilbert, she told me about the elements of good copy. "The Internet has made 'brochure-style' writing obsolete. Studies have clearly shown that people do not read websites—they skim them. That means your copy must be written to be eye catching, visually compelling and keep the visitor on your site."
How do you write scannable website copy? By incorporating lots of
- white space
- bullet points
- highlighted and bolded words
- images
In addition, your copy needs to use simple words, short sentences and include the keywords your site visitor probably used to find your site in a search engine.
Stay On Point
You should distill your web copy down to the most important points and eliminate everything else. You have less than a second to grab someone's attention.
Don't risk overwhelming your reader. Remember, it's not about you, it's about them.
Use Captivating Headlines
Be sure to make your message obvious. Use headlines, lists and bold text to convey your message. Spend some serious time really thinking about a catchy headline.
What Do I Get Out of the Deal?
When it comes to sales copy, the WIIFM (what's in it for me) factor is more important than ever. I have already mentioned the importance of selling the benefits when writing good copy. Then I talked with Susan Gilbert and she emphasized this point: "People want to know what benefit they'll receive from buying your product or service. Don't be shy—tell them! Will they get free delivery? Will they make more money? Will they look better? Although visitors may want to know you, the person, sales copy is much more about telling them how their life will be better, safer, happier and richer once they've bought from you." Hopefully between Susan and me we have hammered this point home.
Picking the Perfect Font
When it comes to a font for your website, it's easy to get carried away. Temptation might dictate that you use a fancy scroll or a really bold font. Wrong.
The challenge with using unique fonts is that the person at the other end might not be able to read it. When you land on a site that's full of that horrible Courier font (my apologies to all you Courier lovers out there, this usually indicates that the site is using a font your computer can't read.
Sometimes, when people want to use special fonts, they'll turn them into graphics instead. But that's good and bad. First, search engines can't spider graphics (we'll discuss the spider factor later). And second, it increases the load time of your website. The trick really is to pick a font (preferably a sans serif) that's both readable and friendly to the eye, meaning that it doesn't tire the eye the way a serif font does. So, what's the difference between the two? When a web designer talks about a serif typeface, he means fonts like Times or Century Schoolbook, where the characters (letters) have little accents or curves. The small downward curves that appear at each end of the cross on the top and the inverted curves at the foot of the letter are known as serifs. "Sans" is French and literally means "without."
Don't Get Font-Happy
Do not overwhelm your site with a bunch of different fonts. It simply takes too much work for the reader to process the different letters and fonts. Nothing will send your visitors away faster.

* 5 Ways to Get More Traffic from Pinterest
Successful bloggers and brands using Pinterest offer their advice for using the site:
May 1, 2013
Finding Your Keywords
First, figure out what you want your keywords to be. What sort of searches do you want to come up for? This is important because pinning yourself to the wrong search term, could get you poor results. Getting someone too early or too late in the buying process may get you a lot of traffic, but it may not be the right kind. Figure out where their point of entry is. This isn't something that you can search online using Google AdWords, Trends or Insight—it's something you learn by researching your market. I learned about this when I did my own research. I plugged in a bunch of keywords I wanted to rank for to see what came up.
First, gather some search terms. Not all of these will be your keywords, they are just your starting point. They might end up being perfect or you might scrap the list and start over. Your research will point you in the right direction.
Let's say you have a series of keywords you are considering but you aren't sure what other variables folks might be searching on. Hop on over to Soovle.com. When you land on this site, you'll see a simple box to plug in your keyword. When you do, you'll get back variations of searches that come up in sites like YouTube, Google, Yahoo! and Bing. It will also show these terms as used on Amazon.com, which can be helpful if you are selecting tags to go with your business. You'll want to spend some time here, clicking the various links to find different ways that consumers search on these keywords. You also might find a better search term than what you currently use, or it might validate your research. Either way, it's a fantastic site and one I use often.
Once you get your keywords nailed down, Google AdWords is a great place to research their popularity. You want to know that your keywords are getting enough searches to matter to your traffic. If you go to Google AdWords, punch in your keywords and then turn off the broad match so you narrow down your results a bit more. You can also play around with "exact" and "phrase," but I usually stick with all three of those unchecked to see what kind of results I get.
Generally I look for Global Monthly Searches that are above 650; I'd rather it be higher, but if you are searching a niche term, that might be the best you can do.
How to Use Keywords
You now need to know how to use the keywords you spent so much time finding. First and foremost, incorporate them into the copy on your home page. I recommend keeping the verbiage on your home page to no more than 250 words, but make sure that this text is keyword rich. Address your visitors' concerns, not yours. Remember that the first few lines of your website copy will show up in searches, so make sure it's relevant to the audience.
The URL you're using could make a difference. When we did our keywords, we established that we wanted to come up for the term "Book marketing," so we started using it everywhere, in our Facebook Page (http://www.facebook.com/bookmarketingame) , on our YouTube Channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/BookmarketingAME) and even in our URL. I bought bookmarketingAME.com.
Now, we don't use this URL per se, it just points to our main domain name which is amarketingexpert.com. Why did we do that? Because the use of your core search terms is key to driving traffic and getting higher in the search rank. Want proof? Before we did all of this, our website was generally at the bottom of page one on Google or on page two when you plugged in "book marketing" in the search bar. Three months after we made these changes (keywords on the home page and keywords in our Facebook branding, YouTube and URL), we came up #3 in search, sometimes #2 and on a stupendously good day, we're #1. Now that's a great traffic jam!
You also can and should use keywords in your blog posts. Not so much that your posts don't make sense (this is called keyword stuffing), but sprinkle them throughout your content, like we did with this chapter (using words like marketing, book marketing, keywords, etc.).
You should also use the keywords in your YouTube videos and in Alt tags in pictures on your website. Keywords are fantastic, and once you go through the work of finding them, you can use them over and over again.

Biological Characterization of Bone Tumors (Current Topics in Pathology)
Publisher: Springer-Verlag
Summary: This book covers new theoretical and numerical developments in the mechanics of material forces. Conceptually speaking, common continuum mechanics in the sense of Newton - which gives rise to the notion of spatial (mechanical) forces - considers the response to variations of spatial placements of "physical particles" with respect to the ambient space, whereas continuum mechanics in the sense of Eshelby - which gives ...rise to the notion of material (configurational) forces - is concerned with the response to variations of material placements of "physical particles" with respect to the ambient material. Well-known examples of material forces are driving forces on defects like the Peach-Koehler force, the J-Integral in fracture mechanics, and energy release. The consideration of material forces goes back to the works of Eshelby, who investigated forces on defects; therefore this area of continuum mechanics is sometimes denoted Eshelbian mechanics.

This review focuses on the value of several groups of agents for the prevention and treatment of mucositis. The review refers to alimentary mucositis as a generalized term that includes oral mucositis and gastrointestinal mucositis. This paper is part of the systematic review made by the mucositis study group which operates in the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC)/International Society of Oral Oncology (ISOO). Several new guidelines are suggested in this review as an update to the primary systematic review that was published by the same group in 2004.

David Whalen
Good times, bad times & my cactus Christmas tree
My first Christmas tree, thirty years ago
Upon my arrival in Las Vegas
Shall always be remembered so,
As one of my greatest
My pickup truck was my home
My refuge and my castle
I was totally, absolutely alone…
But… it wasn't such a hassle
I drove into the desert one day
To see what I could see
And lo and behold beside the road
Found my perfect Christmas tree
It was a three inch tall cactus
All attitude, prickly and brash
And I proudly installed it
Upon my ol' trucks dash
I used cigarette cellophane
As tinsel you see
Stuck tight to the spines
Of my lil' Christmas tree
Many times it fell off
My prickly lil' friend
When I would start off too fast
Or career round a bend
Though small, and deceptive
It was easy to find you see
Usually stuck quite painfully
Upon my bony right knee
It was all I had that christmas
And I was lonely you see
Just me and my ol' pickup truck
And my cactus Christmas tree
Childhood memories are nice…
But the one I'll most remember will be
The one in which, all there was in my world
Was just me…my ol' pickup
And my cactus Christmas tree

A prickly tree
Was just right for you to see
It was the time of the year
To remember those far and near
And if a bit of sticker helps you to recall
Then that's the best message of all
For Christmas is for those everywhere
Who make the best of things to share.
And your poem of the tree
Is a joy to read and thanks for sharing it with me! (Report) Reply

Loc: Spam Factory Do any of you know of web sites that host literary discussions in general, with threads devoted to single works of literature? Also, are there any sites where one could find essays on literary subjects? When I google particular works I invariably come up with a bunch of 9th grade term papers that some teacher has decided to post on their web page, etc.

Roasted Roots Mac N Cheese
Author Notes: I make my mac-n-cheese the casserole way, with eggs binding it, so it can be baked and cut into squares. I also often put stuff in it, in this case, roasted roots and fresh rosemary, which are a perfect pair for the sharp and smoky cheeses. We are pretending that it is cool and crisp outside while we eat it ... well maybe someday that part will come true. - aargersi
Serves 1 9x9 casserole
- 2 parsnips - peeled and in a smallish dice
- 1 small sweet potato - peeled and diced the same size
- 2 small turnips - peel and dice the same size (you should have a total 2 cups diced roots)
- 4 cloves garlic - still in the paper
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 large sprigs of fresh rosemary
- salt and pepper
- 1 cup (dry) elbow macaroni
- 1 cup shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded smoked cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 4 eggs
- butter for the pan
- Heat the oven to 375. Toss the roots, garlic and rosemary with the olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast on a sheet pan until they are tender and just getting crispy. Remove the rosemary - some needles will stay with the roots - that's OK. Turn the oven down to 350.
- Meanwhile boil the macaroni in salted water until it is on the dente side of al dente, and butter a 9x9 baking dish. Mix the two cheeses.
- Squeeze the roasted garlic out of the paper and mash it, then whisk it with the eggs and milk. Toss the roots and macaroni together. Put 1/3 of the mixture in the dish, then 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat with the remaining mac and roots and cheese so you have three layers, ending with cheese. Pour the milk egg and garlic mix over the macaroni, then gently press down with a spatula or a big spoon. Bake until it is golden and crispy on the edges.
- Let it cool for around 10 minutes before you dig in.

On the Scene at Rachael Ray's Burger Bash
Without a doubt, the biggest event at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival is Rachael Ray's annual Burger Bash. The event was bigger and badder than ever, with 32 burgers from top restaurants and chefs across the country. It was also incredibly loud, hot, sweaty, sandy, and chaotic; frankly, we're not sure how we survived it. But we did eat some stellar burgers: read on to see who served what, and — of course — who won the coveted Burger Bash prizes!

Oklahoma City manager Tony DeFrancesco joined Houston's organization in November 2010, about a month before Jeff Lunhow was tabbed to be the Astros' new general manager.
"When I got here, the organization was in disarray," he said. "We didn't have that many prospects."
With Lunhow at the helm, that's changed quickly. The proof of that can be seen in the standings. All the full-season standings in the system, that is.
On Tuesday, the Astros' Triple-A affiliate knocked off Nashville, 5-4, to clinch the American Southern Division crown in the Pacific Coast League. The RedHawks became the fourth Houston Minor League franchise to lock up a playoff spot, joining Double-A Corpus Christi, Class A Advanced Lancaster and Class A Quad Cities.
Beyond the full-season leagues, the team's Class A Short-Season affiliate, Tri-City, is currently first in the New York-Penn League's Stedler Division, and Rookie-level squad Greeneville is leading the Appalachian League West.
"Jeff and the front office have done an awesome job of getting players into the organization," DeFrancesco said. "I think, eventually, the pipeline is going to come through, and you will see some great players up in Houston.
"I think, bottom to top, the adjustments that have been made and the players that are in the organization now, it's great. Now hopefully we can develop those guys and translate that into winning at the Major League level."
Oklahoma City clinched outright by moving to 79-59, putting them seven games ahead of Albuquerque and Round Rock in the PCL American Southern. The title is the first for Oklahoma City since 2010 and its seventh overall.
The RedHawks' second-half push was given a hefty boost when Houston's No. 3 prospect George Springer was promoted to Triple-A in late June. The 23-year-old has hit .307 with 18 homers, 20 steals and a 1.071 OPS with Oklahoma City. Between the top two tiers of the Minors, the center fielder has 37 homers and 43 stolen bases. On Tuesday, the University of Connecticut product went 2-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored.
Springer's performance has been backed by strong offensive seasons from Brett Wallace (.326 average, .952 OPS), Brandon Laird (.283, 16 home runs) and Jonathan Villar (.277, 31 stolen bases).
Unlike many Triple-A teams, the RedHawks have been driven by a core of young players. Five of the team's Top 20 Prospects have spent significant time with Oklahoma City, including Springer, Villar, Jonathan Singleton, Jarred Cosart and Asher Wojciechowski.
With such a youthful roster, getting leadership from veteran players has been key, and DeFrancesco said he's seen just that from Trevor Crowe.
"I think you have to tip your cap to Trevor," he said. "He started here on a rehab assignment and winded up staying. He's been an excellent role model for these guys as far as playing the game right."
The team's postseason run will be aided by the presence of Japhet Amador, a three-time Mexican League All-Star who was signed by Houston last week. Amador has played in just four games with Oklahoma City, but has made an immediate impact.
The 6-foot-4, 315-pound first baseman went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run Tuesday, and he is 8-for-17 thus far in his stateside debut.
"He seems like a professional hitter," DeFrancesco said. "Right now, he's just kind of feeling us out, this style of baseball. It seems like he knows how to go up and get a hit right now.
"Once he gets loose and comfortable, he's doing to drive the ball out of the ballpark. His numbers in Mexico were off the charts."
