|The Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy examines the ideas of some of the most brilliant minds in human history. Philosophy explores the larger questions in human life, such as: What can I know, and how can I be certain I know it?; What is the nature of reality?; and What kind of life should I live? By understanding the history and methodologies of philosophy, majors develop analytical and critical abilities as well as reading, writing, creative and problem-solving skills. Philosophy provides the relevant background and skills for successful careers in various fields, including law, business, religion, medicine, writing and editing.
|Philosophy is not a specifically job-oriented major the way journalism or nursing might be. Still, students majoring in philosophy find themselves equipped with skills attractive to a range of potential employers. Students with a philosophy background are able to make fine distinctions, to follow and construct arguments, to express themselves well orally, in writing and to read demanding texts with depth and care.
A Philosophy major or minor is not only an intellectually stimulating and rewarding course of study available at Kent State University, it is a great way to develop critical and creative thinking skills, an ability to read and comprehend complex material, and a facility with both creative and technical writing. These are skills that today's employers are seeking and which no employee can afford to be without. With a Philosophy major or minor, you are well prepared for a wide range of career opportunities.

Texas pitching coach Mike Maddux said the hole was the size of a large trash can.
The Rangers and their upcoming opponent, the Cleveland Indians, were slated to have on-field batting practice before the game on Tuesday.
The pipe burst with just two hours remaining before first pitch, but stadium workers began work right away to get the field back to playing standards. The hole was big enough for three maintenance workers to have their heads in it at once.
In the meantime, the teams moved practice to the indoor batting cages. The grounds crew was able to complete the work in two hours and was approved by Texas manager Ron Washington.

Anthony Davis because Jordan is going to draft himself.

T-Rob is a monster BUT i dont know how much playing time he would get on the hornets team, the way Jason Smith has been playing...im not saying J Smith is better but right now, J smith is BALLIN.
not to thread Jack, but is Jason Smith, this years Kris Humphries?
Personally I have an affinity for Robinson, but something about MKG just intrigues me as well. He's just such a hard worker and leaves it all on the court.
Of course you can really say the same thing about TRob. As far as playing time, you don't draft in the top 3 to fill holes, that can be addressed later. Who knows if Smith or Landry will even be here down the road. Robinson is a building block, as is MKG.
I voted MKG, but Drummond really intrigues me. He could end up being pretty dominant. Then again, he could end up being Thabeet esque.
"Every fight is a food fight when you're a cannibal."- Demetri Martin
MKG was my vote but I'd be happy with either him or Robinson.
I voted other. I feel Sullinger will be better than all 3 long-term. But I have MKG after that.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
What makes MKG better than Barnes? Yes. This is a serious question. Why is MKG considered a top 3 pick and Barnes isn't even top 5 for most people on this board?
But because MKG does so many things well and I think he could develop a mid-range game and BPA is wiser move than drafting for positional need, I voted for him. then I'd vote for Robinson. Then Drummond.
Edit: Crap. Forgot about Sullinger. He's between Robinson and Drummond.

We're talking about the same guy who put up 40pts/8rebs against Clemson his freshman year in the ACC tournament. Then went on to average 21ppg/8rebs in the NCAA tournament in his freshman year. I fail to see why people are overlooking him now. He had a bad year in terms of tournament play but I'm not going to dismiss him because of it.
MKG really hasnt proven much at all offensively, i'm torn on whether I want him or not
Not to thread jack but here's a completely different topic I'd like to bring up.
Trew 2 the Game: New column + podcast every Tuesday on BourbonStShots.com and Itsneworleans.com
Co-founder of The New Movement/Studio8.net
what is MKG's strength? I know that Robinson can rebound, score with his back to basket and a very good transition PF.. never really watched a lot of Kentucky games just knew that Anthony Davis was a beast.
8th seed is (NOT) ours. *Edited*
I'm really having a hard time with MKG.
I understand and appreciate the work ethic. That's something that can't be taught and bodes well for the next level.
He's also talented.
However, he isn't "Skilled". His offensive game is not great. He can't shoot that well. He gets to the basket in a variety of very creative ways but can be out of control doing it (at least to my eyes).
To me, he's a much more talented Ariza at this point. I wouldn't be thrilled with the pick, and I think it would be 2-3 years before he's a consistent contributor.
MKG is Overrated to me on offense. Yea he gets the offensive rebounds but his barely average with everything else offensively! When he get to the NBA those put backs & head fakes won't work for a player like his size, I and did I mention he dribble slow and drive slow.
I'll take Drummond or Barnes before this guy!!
I think MKG is a better version of Iggy. He won't be a great scorer in this league, but he will be a very good all around player. BTW, Barnes won't be a great scorer either. Maybe a high volume scorer, which is really not worth much.
mkg for sure...yes hes the 2nd best in the draft right there with thomas robinson but then i think there will be some good big men available at 10... hopefully cody zeller but andre drummond might slip, and jared sullinger should be there
Hornets fan since day 1.

CARSON, Calif. -- Mike Magee continued his torrid scoring run on Saturday with a goal in the LA Galaxy's 2-2 draw against Toronto FC and held on to his spot atop the MLS scoring charts.
After four games, Magee has scored five goals and has already equaled his regular season goal total from the 2011 and 2012 seasons. Magee is just two away from his regular season career-high which he set during his rookie year in 2003 while a member of the MetroStars.
Following training on Monday, forward Landon Donovan offered his thoughts on Magee's scoring run.
DONOVAN: "To those of us who see him all the time, it's not a surprise. I've said this many times that he and Robbie are far away the best two finishers on this team. I think that Jose will be a close second behind those two. He's taking his chances. He always gets chances, every game that we play, he gets chances and he is sort of the forgotten guy in the fold. Teams keep forgetting about him and he keeps punishing them. Until they figure out that that's a guy that they got to mark, he'll keep scoring goals. And he probably still will even if they decide to mark him."
A couple notes from Monday's session are below..
*Gyasi Zardes was out at training on Monday running laps while the team trained. This development comes a month after Zardes said that he was hoping to return to training sometime in April.
*Bryan Gaul and Kenney Walker trained fully with the full group for the first time on Monday after dealing with injuries.
It comes as little surprise that Jose Villarreal's stunning stoppage time scissor kick goal that helped the Galaxy in a 2-2 draw against Toronto FC is up for MLSsoccer.com's Goal of the Week.
You can vote for Jose Villarreal, who is up against Chivas USA's Eric Avila, Sporting Kansas City's Graham Zusi, Colorado Rapids' Dillon Powers, and New York Red Bulls' Thierry Henry here. The honors don't stop there as he is also nominated by FutbolMLS.com for Latino de la Jornada (Latino of the Week).
Villarreal's goal was also selected as ninth in Sports Center's Top Plays for the month of March.

CARSON, Calif. –Following the LA Galaxy's first day training on Wednesday, head coach Bruce Arena addressed the media on Wednesday's vital CONCACAF Champions League First Leg clash against Monterrey at The Home Depot Center.
Arena's thoughts on two-time CCL champions are below…
(On Monterrey…)
ARENA: "They're a very good team. Obviously, it's going to be a really good match as we all know, they've been arguably the best team in the region over the last couple of years. [They have] a number of talented and experienced players [with] a good mixture of young players and experienced, but all quality."
(On if the Galaxy need a certain result in the first leg…)
ARENA: "If you start getting into that game then what does that mean? At 180 minutes, you need to have generally more goals than the other team although the away goal is a factor."
(On if he's watched Monterrey so far…)
ARENA: "We know the team; it's a very good team. They're a team that's good in every position on the field."
(On if he tailors his team to Monterrey…)
ARENA: "No, you are who you are at this point. The reason that the teams that are left in this competition are still around is because they understand their teams and they understand how to play in the competition. It's simply going to be a question, on the night, who is more opportunistic, who is playing well. It's all it is. It's that simple. We're not going to change a whole lot of what we've done and hopefully, it'll be good enough."
CARSON, Calif. -- LA Galaxy captain Robbie Keane missed out on Saturday's 2-2 draw with Toronto FC just days after withdrawing from Ireland due to a calf injury, but on Monday, he was back in the swing of things for LA.
Jack McBean and Mike Magee took the reins up top on Saturday against TFC as Keane returned to Southern California to continue treatment, but on Monday, Keane was back to full training according to Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena and is expected to be available for Wednesday's CONCACAF Champions League Semifinal first leg against Monterrey.
"Robbie looks fine," said Arena. "I expect him to be available [on Wednesday]. If he's available, he's a potential starter."
Among those impressed with Keane's fitness level was Keane's Galaxy teammate Landon Donovan.
"Robbie looked great. He looked sharp," said Donovan. "You'd have to ask him how he's feeling and how his calf is doing, but he looked okay and hopefully he can contribute on Wednesday."
Do you expect Keane to start on Wednesday?
Share your thoughts below
On Monday, MLS awarded Jack McBean with the first assist of his professional career for his role in Mike Magee's goal in the 16th minute of the LA Galaxy's 2-2 draw with Toronto FC.
The 18-year-old forward was able to hold up play and find Marcelo Sarvas, who connected witth Magee for the opening goal.
McBean now has two goals and one assist in six career appearances since joining the Galaxy in 2011.
The highlight of McBean's first career assist is below...
Monterrey continued their five game unbeaten streak on Saturday with a 3-0 victory over Pumas UNAM.
Los Rayados scored three goals in a 13 minute span late in the second half to dispatch Pumas. Luis Madrigal opened the scoring in the 79th minute to put Monterrey in the lead, but forward Humberto Suazo doubled Monterrey's lead just five minutes later before Cesar Delgado ended the scoring with a goal in the second minute of stoppage time. Unbeaten in six of their last seven matches, Los Rayados' lone defeat came on March 2 due to a 1-0 loss against against Queretaro.
Following this weekend's results, Monterrey are in seventh place in the Torneo Clausura standings just a single point behind Queretaro, but level on points with eighth place Morelia, ninth place Club Tijuana, and tenth place UNAM. In Mexico, the top eight seeds qualify for the Liguilla (playoffs).
TORONTO –Carlo Cudicini is unbeaten so far as the LA Galaxy's goalkeeper, but he admits that he wasn't perfect during LA's 2-2 draw with Toronto FC
Cudicini made two saves on the afternoon, but in the 29th minutee, a poor back pass between himself and Leonardo led to Cudicini coming off his line eventually leading to an empty net goal for TFC forward Robert Earnshaw. Following the match, Cudicini accepted that the defense as a whole needed to do much better on Earnshaw's goal.
"I think Leonardo miskicked the ball, he's supposed to pass the ball to me, but he miskicked it. I tried to rush out and try to close the space, but [Earnshaw] was quicker than me and he managed to go around me and shoot," Cudicini told LA Galaxy Insider. "I probably realized that Omar was not far from the ball, but at that moment, I already committed myself to go so I couldn't stop."
After the miscue, the Galaxy would concede a second on a brilliant link up by between Luis Silva and Jonathan Osorio in the 78th minute of play, but after the goal, LA fought back. In stoppage time, Villarreal's scissor-kick goal put LA level and the Galaxy were able to leave Toronto with their five game unbeaten streak in all competitions intact.
And according to Cudicini, the ability to hold onto the draw, should give LA confidence heading into Wednesday's decisive CONCACAF Champions League first leg against Monterrey.
"We are still unbeaten which good, we got a point out of an away game and now we need to concentrate on Wednesday," said Cudicini. "Against Chivas USA, we were up 1-0 and we conceded a late goal, but here it was the opposite, we were down 2-1 late and we scored. We haven't lost a game, which is good and we're looking forward to Wednesday."
TORONTO -- Another game, another strong performance for the LA Galaxy's Homegrown forwards Jack McBean and Jose Villarreal during the LA Galaxy's 2-2 draw with Toronto FC.
For the second week in a row, McBean filled in for absent Galaxy captain Robbie Keane and throughout his 61 minutes of action, showed a willingness to mix it up with Toronto's veteran center backs Darren O'Dea and Danny Califf. The 18-year-old has become renown for his physical play, but against TFC, it was his distribution that made the difference. McBean completed 18 of 22 passes while also making two "key passes" (passes that lead to scoring chances) including a dish to Marcelo Sarvas in the 16th minute that led to Mike Magee's goal.
Meanwhile, Villarreal, who entered in the 70th minute, was productive from the outset, but bailed LA late with his stunning stoppage time scissor kick goal.
Following the match, Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena told reporters that he was impressed with both of his Homegrown forwards.
"It was a great goal [by Villarreal] and he's good in the penalty area as demonstrated by his goal. He's a good young player, we need a little more consistency out of him," said Arena. "I thought Jack McBean played very well today. So that's encouraging seeing our young players playing well."
TORONTO -- The LA Galaxy were minutes away from dropping their first defeat of 2013, but a moment of brilliance from 19-year-old Jose Villarreal kept the Galaxy undefeated in six games across all competitions and allowed LA to earn a 2-2 draw against Toronto FC.
Immediately upon entering the match in the 70th minute, Villarreal was a threat going forward with his clever passes and darting runs. The display from the teenager is all the more impressive after he missed several days of training earlier in the week due to an illness, but that did not stop him from scoring a stunning scissor kick finish in stoppage time to save a point for LA.
"It was a cross from Omar [Gonzalez], I don't know if Mike [Magee] or the defender put it back in the box or something like that and it was just a reaction play by me," said Villarreal. "I'm just happy I can help out the team."
But when asked if he has ever scored like that before, Villarreal smiled, showcasing the same youthful exuberance that led to his goal before turning to his locker mate Sean Franklin.
"I had a couple against Sean in practice like that," said the beaming teenager. "But never in a game."
Villarreal's goal is below...
TORONTO –When Landon Donovan made his 2013 debut after missing the start of the regular season, LA Galaxy captain Todd Dunivant ran up to the 31-year-old forward to hand him the captain's armband.
The gesture was a simple one, but Dunivant felt that it was a meaningful one to truly welcome him back into the team that he captained since the 2007-2008 season. Donovan then donned the armband as he went 29 minutes as a late Jose Villarreal goal helped LA earn a point in a 2-2 draw with Toronto FC.
"It was just a symbolic gesture to show that we had fully welcomed him back," Dunivant told LA Galaxy Insider. "He's as much as part of these team as he ever was, so it's as simple as that. He's been our leader and it's more of a symbolic gesture than anything."
As for Donovan, he could help his surprise, but admitted that his goal is a simple one—to contribute for the Galaxy.
"I was surprised. I told him no at first and he insisted so it was a very nice gesture," said Donovan." More than anything, it was nice to be on the field. I really want to contribute and I'm really anxious to contribute and make a difference."

UNEEDA – Members of a Uneeda neighborhood watch group worked together to catch a suspect who had broken into a vehicle parked at the Uneeda Post Office.
David Stone is a member of the newly formed Griffith's Branch Community Watch Group in Uneeda and said last week he noticed a vehicle in the community he didn't recognize.
"I stopped the vehicle and asked the guy where he was going," Stone said. "He told me someone had broken into his vehicle and stole his GPS unit and a fishing rod."
Stone called 911 and Boone County Deputy J.T. Pauley responded to the call.
"We heard a splash in the river and the deputy drove across to the other side," Stone said. "We found a back pack and some stolen merchandise, but didn't find any suspects."
Stone has a concealed weapons permit and was carrying his pistol with him when he heard a noise near his mother's back porch.
"I pull out my pistol and racked one into the chamber and I heard a young man say, 'Don't shoot, I am here,'" Stone said. "He said he was visiting his dad. I responded by telling him that this is my mother's home and you're not my brother."
Stone's mother is former Boone County Magistrate Sharon Stone Riggleman.
Deputy Pauley arrested Austin Wade Holstein and charged him with petit larceny and conspiracy. He was arraigned and his bond was set at $5,000.
Holstein, 18, of Madison, allegedly conspired with Colt Duncan to break into the vehicle and steal a GPS unit and a fishing rod, which he had in his possession at the time of his arrest.
Although Duncan eluded capture, Holstein told the deputy his identity and that he was involved with him in committing the alleged crimes, according to the criminal complaint filed in Boone County Magistrate Court.
Fred Pace
There was also an eye witness to the crimes, according to the complaint.
Police and prosecutors praised the neighborhood watch groups in the county, but also warned them.
"They are doing a really good job out there," said Boone County Prosecuting Attorney Keith Randolph. "However, police have warned residents against confronting suspects directly because of possible physical dangers. It is always best to call 911 and wait for law enforcement."
Stone said he just wanted to catch the suspect.
"I don't want someone thinking they can come into our neighborhood and commit crimes and get away with it," Stone said. "I think it was awesome that we were just there for each other with this new neighborhood watch group."
Stone said this incident was another example of how neighbors can work together to keep their community safe.
"We all want to come together to make our communities safer places and we understand that law enforcement can't be everywhere in the county all the time," he said. "This is something we have to do on our own sometimes."
Stone said the experience strengthened the bond between the neighbors.

Exposed: Monkey 'Guantanamo Bay' in a Spanish resort.
A BUAV investigation in July 2007 exposed the expansion of a monkey breeding and supply centre in Spain for the European research industry. The long-tailed macaques originated in Mauritius and were shipped to Spain to be used as breeding stock. BUAV investigators found the monkeys housed in small concrete and chain link pens. The ground was concrete and there was no visible vegetation of any kind and no earthen floors. Attempts at providing some enrichment, such as fresh fruit and objects, were insufficient.
Monkeys normally would be living amongst vegetation of various kinds and on a natural earthen floor. Such an unnatural environment is in stark contrast to living freely in the lush vegetation of Mauritius.

Houston employees interested in leading fundraising teams for the 2010 March for Babies recently attended the team captain kickoff meeting, hosted by the new CNP executive walk chair, Kenny Mercado, division vice president of AMS Deployment. About half of the attendees were new recruits. "You're all taking part in an important campaign that truly makes a difference in the lives of premature babies who wouldn't otherwise have a chance at surviving and thriving," Mercado said.
Mercado said despite the challenging economic times, people are willing to give money and participate in the event. "There's no doubt we have to be more aggressive with our fundraising efforts this year and share ideas about what's working and what's not," he said. "I'm doing this right alongside of you, and together, I know we can raise
10 percent more money this year, recruit 10 percent more participants than last year and convince more people to come out and enjoy the actual walk day."
A March of Dimes representative noted the online fundraising tool makes money collection much easier. On average, team captains raise $400 online - double the amount typically raised using paper sponsor forms.

The Best Advice About Watches I've Ever Written
Are Wooden Watches Worth Considering?
Ever since the dawn of humanity's time, wood has always been considered as an important material for fabricating things. Countless industries such as farming and construction for example, always had an understanding of wood's uniqueness and the value that comes with it.
Today, there are a lot of people all over the world that love the feeling of being one with nature, and living a casual and simple life. This can definitely be seen with wooden watches, which is practically the latest rage in the world of fashion watches today. Men and women alike consider these watches as very fashionable items. Due to the many desirable qualities that these watches have, countless people have been giving them a lot of love nowadays.
Besides that huge amount of effort and time that are put on each piece that is hand crafted, there are many other reasons to consider buying wooden watches.
Smart Tips For Finding Watches
For example, their uniqueness and natural beauty is often the reason why they stand out. The variation in wood grain that is found naturally basically denies the possibility of two watches that will look exactly similar. Nature basically creates distinct wood grain patterns, regardless if it is within the exact same tree. This certainly adds to each wooden watch's uniqueness, character and warmth.
Interesting Research on Watches – What No One Ever Told You
The fact that wooden watches are light-weight is another great thing about them. Most of these wooden watches weight half as less compared to metal banded ones. This is of course true for all wooden watches that are actually made of one hundred percent wood.
With wooden watches, Eco-friendliness is also another benefit that people find great about them. Apart from being made using materials that aren't harmful to the environment, most wooden watches are actually made from recycled wood as well.
Apart from that, being hypoallergenic due to the non-toxic finish used on them is another great thing about these wooden watches. If you are one of the many people today that experience allergic reactions to metal, then they are definitely great timepieces for you.
Lastly, considering the beauty of these watches, they are actually quite reasonably priced. So if you want to wear a fashion watch that is really amazing, but don't want to spend a lot of money, then this is a great choice for you.
When it comes to buying these wooden watches though, it is very important that you make sure you purchase a genuine one. Buying these watches from a trusted source is the best way for you to be sure about this matter. For those that are planning to make their purchase of these watches over the internet, reading reviews about the online seller or store before finalizing the deal is a good idea.
The Key Elements of Great Fashions
Are You Considering a Wooden Watch?
As soon as humans appeared on earth, it seems that wood has been just as important as the creation of fire and the wheel. Construction, farming and several other industries have understood the amazing qualities of wood and all that it has to offer people.
These days, basically everyone enjoys having some kind of touch with nature and living a casual simple life. The world of fashion has now taken part in this as well and the wooden watch is by far the most popular watch available. Very fashionable for both men and women is what they are considered to be. This type of timepieces have always been loved, but there are other reasons that make these watches desirable.
For starters, you may want to know that there is an amazing amount of labor and time that goes into hand crafting each and every watch and here are some wonderful reasons that you should be wearing a wooden watch.
How I Became An Expert on Watches
First of all, a wooden watch will absolutely stand out, because they are natural and beautiful. This natural quality also ensures that no two watches will look the same, because of the thousands of wood grain formations that can even be contained within a single tree. This quality will add to the warmth and uniqueness of the watch you have purchased.
A Brief History of Watches
You will also be purchasing a piece of fashion that is environmentally friendly, when you purchase a wooden watch. This is certainly the most talked about quality of them, of all the benefits of these watches. Actually, most of these timepieces are actually made of scrap wood that can be found anywhere and the boxes they are shipped in also contain recycled papers and materials found in the same places. Even the watches that are made of trees are made of a renewable resource, considering the fact that we can plant new trees.
The next reason for people who have not been able to wear a watch due to their allergies of metal, is that wooden watches have a hypoallergenic finish. Some watch companies have actually created knock off brands that only have a veneer wood cover on top of the metal, so you must be careful to buy 100% wood, if you have these allergies.
The weight of a wooden watch is another great reason to purchase this watch. Watches that are made of 100% wood, are actually said to be about 50% less heavy than a watch that is made of metal.
A wooden watch is something that you should consider, if you are someone that is looking for a watch that is comfortable, yet beautiful.

A Quick Intro to the World of Online Bingo
Bingo is one of a few games relies completely on patience and luck and remains completely enjoyable for large groups of people. Keep in mind that Bingo is still a form of gambling, and can be highly habit-forming.
In the beginning each person will get what is commonly referred to as a card. Each card has a total of 25 numbers. A standard Bingo card says "BINGO" above a 5×5 grid. No number is ever duplicated on the board.
How I Became An Expert on Entertainment
When the game begins your host will call numbers, which you will look to match on your sheet. The aim of the game is to create a pattern with your matches across the columns, thus getting "BINGO." Each round will require a different pattern to win, and your host will make that game's specific pattern known at the top. The host calls both a letter and number each time for you to mark off. An example is if N-40 is drawn, you will then look down the column of N for the number 40. If the number is there, you will mark it off.
5 Key Takeaways on the Road to Dominating Games
Patterns vary from U and T shapes to four corners or horizontal or vertical lines. If you happen to win that round, you will want to shout "BINGO" immediately. In the event that a few people have won, the prize will be evenly distributed among the winners.
Online Bingo is played in a variety of ways, depending on the site. The general aspects of Bingo, however, remain constant. Most sites will automatically declare you a winner, so you do not yell "BINGO!" as you would in a hall. Nowadays online games include a chatroom, so players can communicate and experience the communal feeling that Bingo games provide.
Online Bingo is completely random, and a player can carry as many as 100 cards at a time. Generally you will not need more than four or five. There will be a board that acts as the caller and announces the letter-number combo. This board will also explain what pattern you will need to win each round. In an effort to be more efficient, some sites will automatically mark a match on your board for you. You may not like this if you are someone who finds checking the matches to be the biggest part of the fun.
With online Bingo you can have fun playing one of the most fun games in the world whenever you want. The chatroom component helps users feel more apart of the Bingo Hall environment. Because Bingo is a game for everyone, online games err on the side of user friendliness. There are so many online Bingo websites, enjoy finding the right one for you.

Better mail client for Exchange EWS services?
My company is running Exchange hosted by Microsoft. I wasn't having much success with Outlook for Mac (I had the latest version -- it was really running CPU use through the roof) so moved to Apple's Mail client. This is even worse. Randomly can't send mail. E-mails and folders disappear, etc.
Is there a mail client out there for Mac that could be recommended for running against a hosted EWS backend?
|Nov 16, 2012, 08:27 PM
Entourage EWS through Outlook 2011 handles Exchange perfectly fine. So too does Mail. However, Exchange is not a fixed target. Exchange is whatever your IT staff says it is.
If you are uncomfortable talking to IT, then there is one thing that you can do prior to contacting them. Gain access to a co-worker's Windows computer. Launch Outlook. Examine and record Outlook's server settings on the Windows computer. Then make sure that your Exchange account settings for Mail and Outlook 2011 match the settings in Windows Outlook. If this does not resolve your issues, then you need to work with your IT staff.

I don't have Entourage. I'm running outlook in the newest office suite.
Does Entourage handle EWS better than the newest Outlook for Mac?
|Nov 19, 2012, 06:05 PM
Look at the version number of Outlook 2011. Notice that it is Outlook 14.x? That is because Outlook 2011 is the successor version of Entourage EWS aka Entourage 13.x. Other than names, the major difference between Entourage EWS and Outlook 2011 is that Outlook 2011 added .pst archive-compatibility. It still reads Entourage's .rge archives. The bottomline is that your claim that you don't have Entourage is not true. You have Entourage EWS--only under a new name.
There is simply no reason to expect that an older version of Entourage EWS will work better than the latest version. If your Exchange server were older than Exchange 2007, then this would be the case. However, you need Entourage 12.x for older versions of Exchange because Entourage EWS, including Outlook 2011, and Mail can't handle the older Exchange protocol.
I digress. As I advised you in my previous post, compare your Exchange account settings in Outlook 2011 with the settings for the same account on a Windows computer. Make sure that your Outlook 2011 settings match those on a Windows computer.

At any rate -- any one else have any ideas on alt mail clients, or perhaps there aren't any other options??

If Mail has issues, then a standard test is to run Mail from a test account. If it also had issues in your test account, then the problem is Mail. If not, then your account settings are munged.

Haven't had any problems with Outlook 2011 myself so I haven't looked into alternatives. It's not really a desktop client but there's always OWA if it's available to you.
|Nov 20, 2012, 12:21 PM
Yeah, a Mac friend of mine uses OWA.
I'm not alone on this, btw -- see just this one thread with 43 pages and an Exchange admin is also involved. https://discussions.apple.com/thread...t=630&tstart=0
My solution right now is to use my company provided Dell laptop. It's working like a charm for Exchange access. I might just keep my lives divided -- work on the Dell, home on the Mac, but it was nice when it was all in one.
I was running Office 2008 and Snow Leopard fine. That's what I get for upgrading, lol (went to 2011 and ML).
I'm in the process of backing up my MBP right now, though, and am going to do a clean install of ML to see if that helps (I'm getting a lot of spinning beach balls anyway, even outside of Mail).

We've had several complaints about this on the Microsoft Outlook forum, but not everyone has this issue. You need to determine where the problem is located.
1) Is it your data?
2) Is it your network?
Are you fully updated to 14.2.3? Have you started over in a new Identity? How to move your data to a new Identity
Have IT setup a test account for you. Testing Outlook on a new Exchange account would quickly eliminate your Exchange folder setup. If it's quick and no CPU issues then look at your folders. However if it goes wild with no data, then talk to IT.
If you can select not to sync folders and other data (it could be an old calendar event with attachments) this would eliminate corruption in older data.
The Inbox syncs more frequently than any other folder and should be kept as clean as possible. (this is the number one cause of problems with sync). Do NOT make subfolders under the Inbox.
Never rebuild in Identity with an Exchange account. Delete the Exchange and any IMAP account(s) THEN rebuild. Add accounts back after rebuilding. Better yet, start over in a new identity. I would never rebuild as long as an Identity will open. I export my data and import into a new Identity.
|Nov 20, 2012, 02:29 PM
Thanks! I'm going to bookmark this. I'm rebuilding the OS install anyway, as it's overall running slow, which of course means I'll rebuild my identity.
My issue, though, is not "is this fixable" -- even if it is fixable, is it stable? I can't keep rebuilding identities when it corrupts. Hence my question for stable alternatives, though it sounds like there aren't any alternatives.
|Nov 20, 2012, 03:08 PM
p.s. I show that my Outlook is on 14.2.4. You mentioned being on 14.2.3. Is there an issue with being on 14.2.4?
p.p.s -- you mention not to have sub folders under the Inbox. I'm not sure what that means. All my subfolders are under InBox, as they reside on the Exchange server. What is the other option?

Restoring Aliso Creek has challenged state, local and federal authorities – not to mention environmentalists and developers – for decades.
The creek's main stem stretches 19.5 miles, draining water from the Cleveland National Forest through seven cities and meeting the Pacific Ocean.
The restoration problem – and the creek itself – has deepened in the past several decades because major federal funding dried up. Now, the creek poses continued threats to infrastructure along the waterway and contains a bacterial load that has remained relatively stable over the past decade, according to a recent annual report, said Tony Felix of the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board.
Shaped by rapid development beginning in the 1970s, creek flows increased as contributing city waters cut deeper and wider into the surrounding land. Structures along the waterline have faced serious erosion risk, and corrosive "hot soils" are eating through the steel pipes of a sludge line running through Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park.
The goal is to restore the creek – decrease the bacterial load, reduce water flow from contributing communities and help bring wildlife back to a county park designated as a sanctuary – while protecting the infrastructure that is near the water, such as sewer and sludge lines.
Challenges that have hampered more global creek restoration efforts include:
•Securing federal funding.
•Disagreements over how to restore the watershed.
•Too many jurisdictions and too many complicated funding tools.
Many stakeholders thought major problems with Aliso Creek would be addressed through a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers study that began in 2004.
The Corps looked for solutions to restore the lower eight miles of the Aliso Creek watershed, at a cost of $3 million in federal and state money – about $1.4 million in state clean-water bond revenue.
But funding for the study dried up, resulting in no major changes to the creek through the federal project and only about $250,000 left, said Mary Anne Skorpanich, manager of the OC Watersheds program.
However, other city- and county-level projects – such as an ultraviolet treatment plant in Aliso Viejo and noninvasive-species restoration in the park – have moved forward, Skorpanich said.
Those efforts follow years of reprimand by state and federal officials and required monitoring of the creek's bacterial load. But state and county officials disagree on whether bacteria has decreased in the creek over time, citing various nuances in the most recent 2012 Aliso Creek Watershed Runoff Management Annual Report, which was submitted March 1.

Woods Ties Career-High with 36 Points, but Catawba Uses Home Court Advantage in 97-86 Win over Men's Basketball
November 21, 2010
SALISBURY, N.C. Despite Chris Woods (Thomasville, NC) tying his career-high with 36 points and putting up another double-double with 18 rebounds, host Catawba used 55 second half points and saw a majority of the whistles go their way over the final 20 minutes for a 97-86 non-conference win over Pfeiffer University on Sunday afternoon in Salisbury Roundball Classic. The Indians even their record to 2-2 on the year while the Falcons fall to 2-3.
Catawba led for most of the first half until Woods drained a pair of free throws with 3:44 remaining in the first for a 35-34 Falcon lead. A minute later, a three-ball by the Indians Keon Moore briefly put the hosts up a pair before a 9-2 Pfeiffer run closed out the half for a 47-42 lead at the break. Jeff Pettiway (Edgewood, MD) and Davon Gilliard (Charleston, SC) contributed to the late spurt.
Woods already had his double-double at the break with 15 points and 10 boards through the first 20 minutes. Pettiway had 13 points at the break as the Falcons shot 47% from the field and heated up with four threes in the period. Catawba outshot Pfeiffer in the half, but the visitors dominated the boards 24-12.
Pfeiffer kept their seven point lead through the first four minutes of the second half as Woods drained two of his 10 free throws on the afternoon. Two minutes later, a foul call on the Falcons Elijah Matthews (Clinton, MD) allowed the Indians Stuart Thomson (Poynton, ENGLAND) to knock down a pair of free throws giving the hosts a lead for good.
A Kyler Gregory (Gibsonville, NC) triple and two more of Woods 36 cut the Indians lead to one midway through the frame until a 12-2 run by Catawba, aided by the second quick technical foul call of the game against the Falcons, led to a late 11-point advantage.
Behind Woods, Pettiway drained 15 points while Gilliard hit on 14. For Catawba, Dominick Reid (Charlotte, NC) finished with 22, one of four Indians in double-figures. Pfeiffer continued in domination on the boards out rebounding Catawba 43-33, but the Falcons were whistled for 20 fouls to the Indians seven in the second-half.
After five non-conference games to open up the season, Pfeiffer will now open Conference Carolinas league play on Tuesday night. The Falcons will head to Due West, S.C. to take on Erskine at 7:30 p.m.

The first true weekend of spring just happened here. Well, there may have been some nice days when I was gone, but the weather was fairly glorious the last few days. And being a holiday weekend in France, off we went to the countryside (campagne), enjoying the clear blue skies.
Drive just about an hour from Paris, the air clears and you just want to roll down the car windows and take a deep breath. (Well, it's a little more refreshing once you've exited the autoroute.) There are trees, wild grasses, fields of wheat, oats, rows of barley, sugar beets and colza growing, and flowers, wild and otherwise.
We did the trip not just to clear out our heads, but to help clean out an old country house, rifling through what remained, before toasting a few glasses for the final farewell. It was wistful and bittersweet. But changes are often unavoidable, and each is un passage.

The things people say after a loss.
Monty just said they were trying to get that last play to AD.
Jack and Landry have been very good off the bench this season for the Warriors. I didn't mind trading Jack, but he's much better than Vasquez who flat out sucks.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
AD was posted up at the elbow. Just couldnt get him the ball. The play was for him so says Monty. Give your franchise player the chance to win it / tie it. I am ok with that. Not enough movement though. Play felt stagnant.
Whatever the reason, Vasquez needs to play better. We're 7 games into the month and shooting 33% from the field this month is not going to cut it. He's doing a poor job of getting to the line. He needs to do a better job of looking for Davis.
Vasquez needs to come off the bench

|Congratulations to the ACH Patient Safety Stars
Congratulations to Juan Deida and Rebecca (Becky) Graham who have been selected as our Patient Safety Stars. They will represent ACH at a special ceremony to be held in June at the Johns Hopkins campus in Baltimore.
The Patient Safety Stars program recognizes and rewards employees who have demonstrated exceedingly high efforts outside of their regular duties which have been credited in the promotion of safety and the prevention of harm to patients. Employee of the Month, Daisy Award, and Good Catch Recipients are reviewed by the Quality & Safety Council. From this list, two Patient Safety Stars are selected using the Patient Safety Stars Selection Criteria.
Juan works as a Housekeeper II in Environmental Services and has been with All Children's since 2010. Juan was recognized for his Service Excellence by a fellow employee who said:
I was in my office at the end of my working day getting ready for the oncoming supervisor when I heard a frustrated voice outside. I looked out to find a mother in a very distressed way with her child. Mom had entered the hospital through the front lobby, but was looking for the Emergency Center. She found herself outside the Outpatient Pharmacy and was lost, frustrated and appeared desperate. Juan happened to come along and saw her obvious distress. He literally lifted the child upon his shoulder, scooped Mom up and whisked them away to the Emergency Center. It happened so fast and so sincerely-I knew that type of action and quick thinking is just what Juan does. I got a glimpse of the Mom's face and saw her sheer relief of being taken care of.
Juan had literally dropped what he was doing to come to the Mother and child's aid, making sure they got to the Emergency Center with no delay. Without Juan's quick thinking, the mother and child may have been delayed getting to where they needed help and a delay might have been life threatening. I spoke with the mother later and she called Juan her "angel" and said she was so grateful for his quick response to her baby's needs that night.
Rebecca (Becky) Graham
Becky works as a Patient Access Specialist in the Patient Access Service Center and has been with All Children's since 2010. Becky was recognized for her Service Excellence by a fellow employee who said:
We had a patient's doctor's office call to schedule an appointment for a child that had an abnormal chest x-ray. The child's mother was in the doctor's office and crying, hoping to get in as soon as possible. Knowing there was cause for concern, Becky took the initiative to call the cardiology office and explain the situation. She was able to help the mom get to the right person to schedule an immediate appointment. Because of Becky's call, the child was seen in a timely manner and ended up being admitted to ACH. Becky went above and beyond the call of duty as as a patient advocate. She helped save a life!

Employment-oriented mentoring is increasingly recognized in Europe as a tool for advancing the labor market integration of disadvantaged individuals, including immigrants. This report highlights a number of relevant one-on-one mentoring practices in Europe and North America, focusing on the role of different initiators and stakeholders, forms of collaboration, methods, and target groups.
A day-long conference in Brussels, co-sponsored by the International Labour Office and the European Commision's Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs, and Inclusion, where panelists discuss the dynamics by which migrants get stuck in low-skilled work, and the role of training and employment services in helping them progress in their occupations. The conference concludes a project and series of reports prepared on the Labor Market Integration of New Arrivals in Europe.
This report is the final one in an MPI-International Labour Office series that examines the employment prospects of migrants in the EU (focusing on the case-study countries of the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom), as well as the effectiveness of integration and workforce development policies in helping these workers overcome barriers and ascend out of low-skilled work.
It is crucial for children of migrant background in Europe to become proficient in their host country's main language of instruction. This MPI Europe policy brief provides key points and good practice examples on what comprehensive language support in Europe might look like.
For children of migrant background, school quality is critical to ensuring academic success. This MPI Europe policy brief examines how European policymakers can support school quality in four key areas: language diversity, the learning environment, social psychology and acculturation, and community connections.
Mentoring programs can target many core needs of children with an immigrant background that schools are not equipped to address, by providing specific and personalized support on the road to academic success. This policy brief prepared for the SIRIUS Network explores how European Union policymakers can make mentoring projects an integral part of the educational landscape at the EU level.
Whilst many European countries have well-established education systems, children with a migrant background are disproportionately among the underperformers and face a number of critical education needs that mainstream education policy does not currently meet. This policy brief prepared for the SIRIUS Network provides an overview of how education policies can be improved for children of migrant background.

I am interested in hearing how people take their dslrs onto multi-pitch-rock-climbs. I have carried mine up in a small pack, but I end up taking hardly any pictures, since it is so cumbersome to get to it. What do professional climbing photographers/videographers do?
I wish I was still in Yosemite for this one. I used to climb with some fairly well known climbers back in the day, "Big Wall Pete" Takeda, the Parker Brothers, even happened on Peter Croft after he taught a class and we climbed for about 45 minutes. Big Wall used to work for "Climbing" and did a number of photo shoots, I know how they get the pictures from above and away from the rock using bivouac style set ups, but I never asked about taking the big cameras up. We used to take cheaper cameras up. We would tape a loop on them, throw a biner on it and drag it up that way. Almost always wrapped in a protective padded bag attached separately. If you drag it behind you and in its own case, it is easier to get to than say in the center of your food bag. Just remember that the camera is never to come un-clipped. You could rig up something with a 6' sling attached to the back of your harness and then a second carabiner closer to the camera and clip it to say your hip, with a camera bag for protection. This will give you quicker access, if that is an issue, but at the cost of being in the way.
The biggest reason why we stopped taking cameras up had more to do with the relatively lame angles you get from taking it from another climber's perspective. Either you get their feet or the top of their head. To get better shots, you need a separate team climbing ahead with bivouac gear to push you away from the rock, this will give you a lot better angle to shoot from. And if you are going to be taking a DSLR, I am guessing you are a lot more serious about the shots, so you might want to look into getting that set up figured out. For quicker and easier shots, you can lock off and stand horizontal off the rock. This is easier, and more of an angle than just hanging, but might not bring justice to taking a DSLR up the rock.
My strong recommendation is one of the BlackRapid straps.
They are solid products. Need some checking before setting off to make sure it's connected securely. I'd personally probably add some sort of redudancy to the system if I was to go climbing with it, but I've done long hikes and it keeps the camera out of the way until right when you need it.

The role of the Speech-Pathologist in Treating JRRP
Although the primary treatment for JRRP is surgery, a speech-pathologist can help the child, parents, and caregivers by providing support and by educating the family about the effects of JRRP and subsequent surgeries on the voice. Children who have age-appropriate communication skills or who are receiving other speech-language services to meet developmental milestones are appropriate candidates for voice therapy intervention. Goals of therapy could include respiratory retraining, avoidance of inappropriate compensatory behaviors in voice use, and helping the child adjust to changes in the vocal mechanism that might result in a voice quality that sounds different from other children. The speech-language pathologist who specializes in voice treatment may function either as a one-time resource for the family, or as a team member who works with the child at various stages of JRRP treatment. Exercises for home practice and voice games used in the office are examples of ways the voice clinician might treat dysphonia associated with JRRP.

I don't know about you, but I don't have a lot of time to spare these days. Between the peta2 live chats, yelling at the TV when Lady Gaga appears on the screen, and practicing my hugging in advance of this year's Hug a Vegetarian Day, who's got time to make dinner?!
That's why I stick with the quick and easy recipes that made peta2 author Marta Holmberg the international celebrity that she is today. Straight from her dorm room manifesto, PETA's Vegan College Cookbook, I give you the "Chick-Un Parm Sammich."
Here's what you'll need:
It's simple: Just microwave the chicken patty according to the directions on the box. Then, microwave the marinara sauce for about 45 seconds, or until warm. Pile some vegan cheese onto the chicken patty, and pop it back in the microwave for another 45 seconds, or until the cheese is all melted. Slide that bad boy onto a bun, pour on the sauce, and bellissimo!, vegan chicken parmesan from the microwave.
Now, back to my hugging …
