The Oklahoma City Thunder agreed to a two-year, $6.5 million deal to re-sign guard Daequan Cook on Friday, bringing yet another piece back from their team that made the Western Conference finals last season. Cook's agent, Mike Conley Sr., told The Associated Press that Cook's deal was awaiting league approval but he expects Cook to report to training camp as soon as he's allowed. Cook averaged 5.6 points and shot 42 percent from 3-point range in 43 games for the Thunder last season after being acquired in a trade from Miami. Cook was the last player from Oklahoma City's regular rotation from last season who was not under contract for this season. Cook's deal was first reported by Yahoo Sports.

metal roof
Just had a metal roof installed on 2x2 strapping. I want to know if the ridge vent is supposed to have the plywood cut out on both sides of the ridge board. The existing vents were just taken out to allow air flow to go up between the metal tiles and existing ashphalt roof.
Yes, a strip of roof sheathing should have been cut out along the ridge. Just removing the old vents and going over them won't cut it. Now air will not have a direct route outside and will essentially have to travel around a corner to escape. And if the strapping was installed horizontally, it will more than likely cut off all air flow alltogether. Sounds like the roofers got a little lazy on you.

Trish Tchume, National Director
After almost 8 years of engaging with the network as a volunteer, Trish Tchume is proud to be serving as the first-ever Director of YNPN National. Trish was introduced to the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network (YNPN) in 2004 as a founding board member of an affiliate group called Philadelphia's Young Nonprofit Leaders. Since then, Trish has gone on to support a broader network of emerging leaders across the country by serving as a YNPN National board member from 2007 through 2011. During this time she held a number of key positions on the board including the role of National Board Chair during her final term.
Prior to becoming Director of YNPN in 2011, Trish served as Director of Civic Engagement for the Building Movement Project where she provided technical assistance, training, and developed publications for the growing movement of social service providers who are integrating social change values and practices into their daily work. Prior to joining the Building Movement Project in 2008, Trish served as a Campus Organizer, a Community Outreach Manager, and the Director of Training forIdealist.org following years spent doing community development work via city government and academia. Over the years, Trish has received a number of awards and recognitions for her engagement of young nonprofit professionals including her selection for the inaugural class of Independent Sector NGen Fellows in 2009.
When not dreaming up various ways to harness the power of emerging nonprofit leaders, Trish likes to help her fellow New Yorkers find their inner voice as a volunteer story coach with the Moth and regularly takes her life into her own hands biking and jogging through the streets of NYC. She equally credits her rich Jesuit education, her strong Ghanaian roots, and a severe case of middle child syndrome for her commitment to engaging as many people as possible in the important work of building a just and equitable society.
You can contact Trish at email@example.com and follow her on Twitter at @ttchume.
Jamie Smith, Communications & Network Engagement Director
Jamie Smith is YNPN's second full-time employee. As YNPN's Communications & Network Engagement Director, she manages communications, social media, and public relations for YNPN as well as resource development and programming for our chapter leaders and members.

She graduated from the University of Chicago with a degree in Public Policy and has a Masters degree in Communications from Northwestern University. Jamie is new to New York and when she's not working, she's reading, traveling, and riding her bike.

Since then, Elana has managed programs throughout the country, building relationships across a portfolio of customers and partners and ensuring efficient launches and delivery of MEND programs. In previous employment she has worked for city governments, in a variety of nonprofits concentrating on women's issues, conducted research in universities and taught masters students. Elana has published work on the predictive factors of high school drop outs, and the extent to which desegregation in four cities with strong ties to the Civil Rights Movement has resulted in improved socioeconomic status or in greater access to services and amenities for African Americans. Elana has a bachelor's degree in women's studies from Tufts University, a master's degree in urban and environmental policy from Tufts University, and a doctoral degree in social welfare with an emphasis on policy analysis from SUNY Stony Brook. Elana's dissertation title was "You Are Not What You Eat: the Myth of School Food and Childhood Obesity."
Elana's year this year has been a big one: she finished her PhD, ran her first marathon and is enthralled to be joining the team at YNPN. When not icing various injuries, she also loves reading, travelling, and snowboarding. Elana is hoping to be a better volunteer for Planned Parenthood, where she is part of the Activist Council. She also enjoys interviewing applicants for admission to Tufts University each fall. Elana will also be instructing her first batch of undergraduates at New York University this spring. If you have any tips on teaching social justice advocacy through social media, send them her way!

Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-Texas) is among the legislators who want to talk cybersecurity legislation "in bite-sized chunks."
The various cybersecurity bills proposed last year shared a couple of traits: They all took a fairly comprehensive approach to addressing a number of aspects of a complex issue, and none became law.
This year has seen a different approach targeting specific areas -- in particular, those that enjoy at least some degree of consensus. One key lawmaker said that is the better way to go if cyber legislation is to be enacted anytime soon.
"We've been frozen legislatively for years, not being able to do anything. So let's not try to do everything. Let's take it in bite-size chunks and make some advancement," Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-Texas) said July 30 at the AFCEA Global Intelligence Forum in Washington. "I think there is enough concern about cyber in both parties that there is a chance to do it. I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but the more focus we take in these bite-size chunks we have, the better chance we'll have."
Thornberry, while taking some swipes at the Senate, praised progress made in recent days on a new cyber information-sharing bill marked up by the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, led by bill sponsor Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.).
"I think that's a huge step forward. It's a major advance if we can get the Senate to look at discrete, bite-size chunks rather than trying to do everything at once," said Thornberry, who is chairman of the Armed Services Committee's Intelligence, Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee and is also a member of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. "The truth is, there is a bunch of this stuff that everybody agrees Congress ought to do, but then we get balled up on regulation and details of some of these issues. Keep working on those differences, but let's work on the stuff everyone agrees on," such as information sharing and an overhaul of the Federal Information Security Management Act.
As hopeful as Thornberry might be, the self-described optimist acknowledged that actually passing any cybersecurity bill remains an iffy proposition.
"Legislatively, we're on a better, certainly more hopeful, track," he said. "At the same time, we have to pay attention to the environment we're in. The current [National Security Agency] leak means there's not going to be a cyber bill that comes to the floor in the immediate future, although September is possible."
Beyond cyber-specific legislation, Thornberry said other efforts are underway on the Hill to address cybersecurity. He said members have been getting educated by senior Defense Department and intelligence community officials to better understand the threat landscape, and various committees have been collaborating on the issue.
That cooperation means a designated "cyber committee" is unlikely, Thornberry noted.
"I do think cyber has gotten elevated to the point where...[we have] this kind of task force drawing on nine different committees," he said. "It's not the ideal way to work every day, but on the other hand, cyber so permeates everything that we do that [we] can't make a cyber committee. So, we have these cross-cutting bodies...to develop a body of expertise," which then is taken back to other committees and members and shared throughout Congress.
Congress also is looking beyond the Hill -- specifically, across the river to the Pentagon, where the future of the U.S. Cyber Command is set for reevaluation. Cyber Command, led by dual-hatted NSA Director Gen. Keith Alexander, is a sub-unified command under the U.S. Strategic Command. Some have argued that its status should be elevated.
"We require in this year's [House defense authorization bill] an independent assessment of the organizational structure for Cyber Command and moving ahead, looking at options," Thornberry said. "My guess is Cyber Command is not going to remain a sub-unified command under Stratcom or anybody else in the future. The harder question is whether NSA and Cyber Command will continue to be under the same individual."

Route is planned (sort of)
First, thanks to everyone for the great suggestions. I plan to follow them as much as possible.
CaveDave, how kind of you to offer us a spot to stay. I had already booked our hotels when I saw your post. But thank you still.
NewHampWoodsRider, each of your recommendations is a good one. The reminder about the oil, tire pressure and braking will be heeded.
DC950, good reminder about hydration. There's a Pelican case on the top rack and we'll have a bike bag on top of that. My son got Mrs. Liberia a back pad to use so I think she'll be in good shape if I can force myself to stop more often than usual. Our daughter is there with an SUV so we can ditch the overpacking with her.
Fatboy, Mrs. Liberia kind of likes the picnic lunch thing but we're talking about one of the small, soft sided coolers that will fit in a pannier.
Route -
Saturday - fly to Boston, bike owner picks us up, pack and drive an hour (69 miles) to hotel.
Sunday/Monday - Drive 2 hours (108 miles) to Lenox, MA where we will stay and visit our daughter for 2 days.
Tuesday - Drive for 7 hours (424 miles) to Winchester, VA where we'll spend the night at a Hampton Inn.
Wednesday - Drive for 7 hours (243 miles) which is includes all of Skyline Drive as well as the upper portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Stay in Roanoke at the Hampton Inn.
Thursday - Drive for 5.5 hours (180 miles) on the BRP to Boone, NC where we'll spend the night at (you guessed it) a Hampton Inn.
Friday - Drive 6 hours (340 miles) back to Murfreesboro, TN. Mostly Interstate.
If we can get started early enough on Tuesday and Friday mornings we could get off the Interstates and take some of the state highways. But Mrs. Liberia isn't really a morning person. So I think we'll have to spend stay pretty close to the schedule above. I think we'll do fine as our longest days shouldn't be more than 10 - 11 from start to stop. That gives us plenty of time to relax and recover in the nicer hotels that we've chosen just for that purpose.

Sounds like a great adventure.
Congrats, I've had two KLRs, they are awesome tools, best motorcycle Kawasaki has EVER made.
I hope your wife loves you a whole whole bunch.

Took me a minute to realize you added your insights to my travel scedule in the quoted area. Unfortunately I think you may be right in each area. However, it's really better if I go into this as blind as possible so that I don't have to live through the experience twice (one worrying about it and once actually doing it).
Mrs. Liberia is crazy (about me). We've been married for 32 years and she's more of a risk taker now than when we were younger. Mainly though she just wants to see our daughter who graduated from college one day and left for the internship in Massachusetts the next. They are both having withdrawals. I have, however, put all the commercial airports along the path into our gps... just in case.

If you need anything or assistance PM me. I am only about 10 miles east from the BRP on Rte 60 in Amherst, Virginia.
Let me know how you like the KLR for two up riding. I am trying to decide on a KLR650, DR650 or a F650GS thumper.
Best of luck, Mike

I'll try to give honest evaluations of the bike as we make the trip. Remember that this is an all pavement ride. I'm guessing since your 3 bike options are KLR, DR or GS that you plan to do some offroad riding as well. I have a V-Strom DL1000 as well and for highway and dirt roads in decent condition I promise you it's far better for 2 up travel. But it is pretty worthless once you get off compacted surfaces.
Mrs. Liberia is a great photographer so we should get some nice pictures along the way that we can share.

Today's the day
Up at 6:30 this morning for a leisurely completion of packing and preparation. LiberiaSon is headed our way to deliver us to the airport. Our flight leaves at 12:50 CST and we arrive in Boston, via Baltimore, at 6:05 EST. Bill, the prior owner, is picking us up at the airport and will take us to his house which is about an hour south of the airport.
I'm anxious to see the bike. I really love the Happy Trails panniers for some reason although I don't have enough experience with any of them to know what's best. Riders on this site debate metal vs. plastic vs. soft panniers. Since we don't do any significant off road riding I guess it doesn't matter so much.
Breakfast was toast and eggs, prepared by yours truly, with Mrs. Liberia making the coffee and washing the dishes. Not a bad setup. Eating on the road is always a little of a challenge for us as we try to follow a healthy eating plan. We use a plan by Dr. Asa Andrew which works good for us. Little to no processed foods, stay away from sugar (use honey, etc instead), and eat organic as much as possible.
Mrs. Liberia has read the thread and thinks that she is going to do fine on the ride. She keeps asking me if there's something that "she doesn't know." I assured her that the only thing she has to worry about is how sore her behind will be by the end of each day. My brother sent up a Butty Buddy for the trip so we'll try that out and see how it works out. My sister-in-law used it on the back of an Indian Scout all the way back from SE Utah to Tennessee and it helped a lot. Plus there will be a Pelican case and a bag on top of that directly behind Mrs. Liberia to give her something to lean against.
It will be late tonight before we're into our hotel room in Westborough, MA so I might not have time to do an update. If not, I will try it on Sunday morning.
Oh, by the way, Mrs. Liberia asked me how long we had been married. I knew that something was not good about the way she asked it. "Thirty-two years," I replied. "Thirty-three," she corrected. This could be a long trip.
Thanks for reading.

Saturday - A new bike
Saturday - LiberiaSon dropped us off at the airport at 11:30am for our 12:50 flight to BWI and then on to Logan Field in Boston.
We had our baggage down to a minimum but knew that it was still likely too much. We checked 2 bags (free on Southwest!) and could have checked 2 more at no charge. One of the bags was a Rally Pack which is designed for motorcycles. The other was a small, thin "throw away" duffle bag used jut to get us to the panniers on the motorcycle. We had a backpack with my computer, Mrs. Liberia's camera bag and 2 helmets as carry ons. Not too bad for 2 people on a fly n ride for a total of 6 days on the road.
We left Nashville a few minutes late but got to BWI right on time. With an hour before the next flight we decided to get a bite to eat a the Tex-Mex place in the airport. Mrs. Liberia had a great salad and I had a good bowl of tortilla soup (sorry I forgot to tell her that every meal must be photographed). We got to our gate just as people were lining up to board so the timing was perfect. Once on the plane however, we taxied out and then were informed of a delay due to bad weather in Boston. So we ended up leaving about 40 minutes late. The weather was gone by the time we arrived in Boston.
Picking up our baggage we were met by Bill and began the hour long ride to his house. He was a very nice guy and provided several additional items for the bike that were not discussed as well as having moved the Pelican top case back so there would be more room for Mrs. Liberia. (I don't know why we didn't get a picture of him before we left.)
It was completely dark before we left his house for the 1:15 ride to Westborough and the DoubleTree Hotel. (We got a smoking deal there through HotWire.com - $63 plus tax.)
Thankfully it was an easy set of directions from his house to I-495 (2 turns and we were on the Interstate). The 69 mile ride was a good one with the previous rain having cooled things down considerably.
The KLR was geared noticeably high which was good news for the time we would spend on interstates. At 70mph it showed 4,500 rpm. Even with 2 people and a lot of baggage the power was good. Bill used the bike to commute so the tires are 90% street oriented. Again, good for the trip home.
Arriving at the DoubleTree we noticed 2 Harley's parked on the side of the entranceway so we moved the KLR behind them allowing it to be within sight of the front desk personnel. Checking in we received the famous hot chocolate chip cookies that are the trademark of the hotel chain.
It was nearly 10:30pm when we checked in and we hurried to get our baggage up to the room so that we could make it to the hotel restaurant before it stopped serving at 11:00. We made it with 15 minutes to spare but the waiter was not happy to see us. "The kitchen closes in 10 minutes so you will have to hurry." We excused ourselves rather than rush our meal and ordered a chicken parm pizza from a local pizza place. It was good but Dr. Asa would not have been happy with our food selection.
Day 1 - 69.4 miles on the bike. 1,178 miles by car and plane.
The room is very nice and we feel like a good night's sleep is at hand.
There is free internet in the lobby but it's $10 in the room. So I'm posting yesterday's report this morning.

Check the oil, check the oil, check the oil.
Every KLR uses oil at interstate speeds, and especially if you are running harder (into a head wind, or heavily loaded) At 55-60, it's almost never a problem. Over 65-70, I add a couple drops at every stop. I stop every 50-75 miles, just for circulation.
Make sure the rear shock is maxed out on the preload setting.
I used to commute between offices in Massachusetts, Jersey and Harrisburg PA. I'd definately run the parkways instead of the interstates.
Keep tire pressures UP, there's a lot of heat in the road, and overloaded really increases failure rates. More pressure=cooler tire temps.

Sunday - Day 2
Today started at 3:30am when I woke up after only 4 hours of sleep. Not sure whether it was excitement or something else. I fought it until 5:00am and then slipped out of the room for free internet access in the lobby to post yesterday's ride report.
At around 6:00am I went back to the room, showered, shaved and dressed for the day. I ended up wearing the same clothes as yesterday for some reason. Mrs. Liberia later commented that I couldn't keep doing that or everyone would think that all the pictures were taken in the same day.
I put off waking my wife as long as possible but finally had to wake her as LiberiaDaughter's boss, Mark, had comp'd us 2 tickets to Jacoby and Prock's (see a Dance Magazine article at www.jacobypronk.com/go/Dance_Magazine.html) final performance at Jacob's Pillow Dance Theater (www.Jacobspillow.org) where she is serving as an intern. She graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design in May. The performance starts at 2:00pm and we have to be there by 1:30.
It's been a long time since we have missed church services on a Sunday morning but today would be an exception. As it turns out, I passed very few churches on the route we took.
So as Mrs. Liberia got up we used the Wolfgang Puck coffee in the room to make a couple of cups. I didn't know at the time that this would be all we had until 4:00pm in the afternoon. After that we repacked the bags and headed down to the bike. The guys with the BMW 1200RT and Ultra Classic were down and we talked for a few minutes. They were 60 miles aways from completing a 2,800 mile trip. We are 60 miles into a 1,200 trip.
After loading all the bags we mounted up and left for Lenox, MA via Highway 20. We could have taken I-90 almost the entire way and made it in 2 hours but we'll be on interstates too much on Tuesday and Friday so we choose to add an hour to the trip to stay on the more scenic backroads. The 50% increase in time turns out to be caused by the incredibly slow speed on most of Hwy 20. We experienced speed limits of 20 to, very rarely, 55mph. I'm sure we didn't average more than 40mph the entire way. However, the beautiful towns and country that we drove through were worth it.
Our first stop was when Mrs. Liberia leaned forward and said, "I need to go to the bathroom." So we stopped at the very first gas station. I gassed up (3.5 gallons) while it was discovered that this station had no bathroom. It's been 25 years since I've seen one of those... until today. So we crossed the street to a CVS drug store instead. This was about 45 miles into the day.
After that we continued west on 20. After another hour we stopped again along the roadway where a stream gurgled along.
We started again and made it to the Lenox Inn about 12:30pm. I used hotwire.com to book last night and tonight's rooms. Last night's was a tremendous deal but tonight's? Not so much. The Lenox Inn is a very old, motel that probably served travellers in the 50's and 60's. It's really a quaint little motel but the rooms are a little small and very poorly lit. But they are clean. My only requirements when travelling alone are clean and safe. When Mrs. Liberia is along however I like for the lodging to be a little nicer. But she's being a good sport about it.
We checked in, moved everything into the room, changed clothes and left to backtrack our way east on Hwy 20 to Jacob's Pillow. Soon after parking and changing shoes we saw the object of our joy. LiberiaDaughter was coming to meet us. We had not seen her in almost 3 months. She graduated from college and drove straight through to Becket to get there in time for her internship to start.
She showed us around the grounds, described what happens in each area and talked about some of the work she was doing. Her degree is in theater lighting and she is very competent plus has a strong work ethic. She'll do well wherever she lands. We met several of her co-workers and bosses and soon it was time to leave for the Doris Duke Theater and our show and for her to return to the show she was supporting. Today following the shows they have "changeover" which is loading out the current performers shows and loading in next week's groups. She will likely work until midnight or after.
She texted us that she would see us tonight as she is staying with us at the Lenox Inn. We left for Lenox and began running into drops of rain a few miles out. The drops increased and it looked like we should stop and put on the rainsuits but we were close so we made it back to a nice Chinese resturaunt a block from the motel and stopped for a meal (no pictures). A brief shower took place while we ate but it cleared up before we finished. Leaving we made a quick stop by a grocery store to pick up some fruit and other items. Then back to the motel for a nap and bath while waiting for our baby girl to arrive.
Today we had another low mileage day but managed to make our timeline. 153 miles and 3 hours.

Monday - Day3
I drifted off to sleep last night a little after midnight but Mrs. Liberia and LiberiaDaughter stayed up talking until 3:00am. I just can't hang with them that late.
At 7:00am it's time to get up and do something without waking the ladies. So I dressed, brushed my teeth and slipped out to try to find the October Mountain State Forest which looks like it has some nice roads. I use the gps and have also looked at Google maps. But the park roads are not on the gps and I have no luck finding my way. I end up about 8 miles south back on Highway 20. So I bail on that idea and decide to drive back up to Pittsfield, MA where I understand a Wal-Mart resides. I've decided to pick up a small, digital camera so that we can take pictures while moving with the KLR. Mrs. Liberia's camera/lens is too large to keep out while travelling and we're missing too many shots. So, with the help of a couple of shop owners, I locate Wal-Mart, decide on a Nikon CoolPix S3000 which is small and takes 12megapixel pictures. My sister-in-law will be proud. She never goes on vacation without spending time at the local Wal-Mart (even in Alaska).
Now back to the motel room to see if anyone is up. It's close to 10:00am and Mrs. Liberia is awake but LiberiaDaughter is still sleeping. Monday's are her only day off and Jacobs Pillow Dance Theater works its interns pretty hard.
Mrs. Liberia helps me test the new camera for movement pictures.
LiberiaDaughter has to do some hair work before we can leave.
Finally everyone is awake and we decide to go to the historic downtown area of Lenox. What a surprise to find duch a beautiful area to explore.
First we park and look at a small park that was created by the local citizens.
Some great artwork:
Then it's time for some coffee:
Then some general bonding and touring:
Isn't she beautiful?
Some flowers along the way:
Then it's on to Lee, MA for lunch, laundry and ice cream.
Joe's Diner is a favorite spot that has entertained presidents and provided inpiration for Norman Rockwell.
There is nothing healthy about a burger, seasoned fries and milkshake.
We even had our own pay phone at the table.
Now to do once a week laundry.
Finally, ice cream at Lucky's.
Then back to the room for a little rest before, can you believe it, dinner. We had discovered a Greek resturaunt in Lenox that we wanted to visit.
Mousaka and 2 Calzones provide way too much food.
We waddle back out to the car and head back for the motel. The weather is wonderful at about 70 degrees. It looks like we'll enjoy good temperatures all the way home rather than the 95-100 degrees we were seeing last week. Now if we can avoid the showers.
Today was a very low mileage day on the bike as most of the day was spent in a cage. The odometer reading includes yesterday's miles as well. So today was only 34 miles.
Tomorrow's a big day. We have to make it all the way to Winchester, VA which is 415 miles of mostly Interstate driving. Mrs. Liberia is a little apprehensive and I'm not really looking forward to it either. But at least it's on a bike.

Monday - Day 3 - Jacob's Pillow
I got tired last night and frustrated loading pictures into Photobucket so I didn't record the last thing we did before dinner. Here's some pictures from a tour of Jacob's Pillow that we did on a quick run back by there so our daughter could drop off the clothes that she washed. Monday is the day everyone is off and most leave for the day.
The front entrance on Highway 20, Becket MA
One of the early clues that you're entering a dance theater campus
Where is everything?
The actual rock from which Jacob's Pillow get's its name
The Administration Building including the Stone Cafe and "the Nook"
The Inside Out theater where free concerts are given. From the right angle it looks as though the dancers are floating in the air.
The cottage LiberiaDaughter shares with 5 other girls who are interning.
Sommers Studio
The Avnet House for eductional activites
St. Denis studio. Where the dancers warm up.
The Doris Duke Theater where we watched Jacoby and Pronk perform
Blake's Barn where the archive of prior shows is maintained
The Ted Shawn Theater. Shawn was the founder of Jacob's Pillow
A "shot in the dark" inside The Ted Shawn Theater
Some flower pictures I took while wondering around the grounds
A final picture to reinforce the weirdness of artists
Goodbye to a relaxing day. Tomorrow will be 400+ miles of steady riding.

Full detailed profile on Stefano DiMera Played by Joseph Mascolo on Days of Our Lives Daytime Soap Opera.
Joseph Mascolo (NBC)
Birthday: March 13 1935
At Kristen's, she calls Stefano and says John will have some tales to tell when he wakes up. Stefano finds that laughable. He tells her to stay in the moment. "The best laid priests… I mean plans can go wrong." He sends her a text – a picture of Susan, which should remind her never to overestimate her position. She winces. Isn't it enough she sees her in her nightmares? Kristen's focus is on Brady. She hangs up and takes off.
At the DiMera mansion, Kate enters to find EJ holding Sami, who says they were just discussing the kids. Kate clearly doubts that, and brings up the evidence Rafe found. EJ warns that Stefano will be very angry with them both when he returns. He steps out to take a call about Mr. Weston, and Kate rants at Sami about reuniting with EJ. Sami wonders why it's so bad that she might have a chance at being happy instead of alone and bitter...like Kate. "I got my revenge." Kate wonders if she's just tired of sleeping alone. Sami just doesn't want to end up like her. Meanwhile, EJ talks to Stefano and tells him he can't risk coming back right now. Stefano agrees - it's a fortunate turn of events for Samantha and Katerina. He rants about taking revenge. EJ says the kids, at camp, miss their nonno. EJ rejoins Kate and Sami with news on Stefano's plans for revenge - he has to save face. Kate tells Sami it's every woman for herself. Later, EJ promises Sami he'll protect her. He assumes Kate tried to make her doubt him. Sami says she did, but she didn't succeed.
Somewhere unknown, Stefano arranges for a jet to Salem and talks on the phone about Kate and Sami being neutralized - there's nothing else they can do now.
From an undisclosed location, Stefano calls Kristen. She asks him to get that drug to Kayla as soon as possible. He reminds her it hasn't been tested. "I know, it can go either way." She prays it works.
At the DiMera mansion, Stefano remarks on EJ's high hopes for his wedding to Samantha. He cryptically says he hopes EJ won't be disappointed. EJ remarks on his lurking and gloomy pronouncements. He insists Stefano can do nothing to put a crimp in his happiness. Stefano worries the happiness will blow up in his face. EJ urges Stefano to feel the joy. Stefano agrees that everything will be fine - as long as Samantha doesn't find out he's been banging Abigail Deveraux. EJ's jaw drops. He indignantly declares that it never happened, but Stefano belly laughs about him thinking he got Abigail knocked-up. EJ deflates. He strikes a bargain to help Stefano with Kate as long as no one finds out about Abigail. Stefano makes a remark that makes EJ suspicious. "Is Abigail pregnant?" Stefano assures him she's not.
Sami arrives at the DiMera mansion and asks Stefano and EJ what's going on. Stefano says they were discussing EJ's big secret. EJ demurs that he has a little secret, but it's the good kind. Sami says she likes emeralds and exits. EJ tells Stefano she can never find out about Abigail.
Stefano sets up the DiMera mansion for a lovely dinner. Kate arrives and they drink. "Here's to sitting down with you for the last time," she toasts. They get into it about Rafe. He thinks there are two sides to every story and she retorts, "You sent a man to Rafe's hospital room with orders to neuter him with a straight razor. What's the other side to that?" He laughs that he's not threatened by Raphael Hernandez. She felt betrayed by him. What was she supposed to do, become a nun? "Better than being a poutana," he snipes and then tells her to get it all out. She does and says he doesn't know the difference between love and possessions. Stefano tears up and asks if there was a time when she thought he didn't love her. She snorts that it's ancient history and leaves. EJ and Sami arrive and Stefano goes up to bed. Sami notices the wine. It's the only brand Kate would drink.
At the DiMera mansion, Stefano learns that Sami is marrying EJ in May. She doesn't care if she gets his blessing. Will he give EJ his freedom to move out? Stefano thinks deep down EJ wants to live there and Stefano's happy to have family around. Sami wanders off as he takes a call from Dr. Garcia. He tells her she's been most helpful and they hang up.
EJ arrives home looking for Sami. Stefano watches, amused, as EJ kisses his intended passionately. He drags her upstairs for sex and she asks if he's going to talk to Stefano about his erectile dysfunction. EJ says there's a time for everything. She starts yelping when he throws her on the bed and kisses her.
At the DiMera mansion, Dr. Chyka catches Marlena's attention when he tells her he left his 'things' behind at the cottage when he escaped from Nicole's clutches. Suddenly an alarm goes off and Stefano says, "It seems that somebody's up to her old tricks." He grabs the USB drive and Marlena feigns innocence. Galen, Stefano's new henchman, comes in and destroys the drive and when Doc asks to speak to Chyka again, they pretend they don't know him. Stefano threatens that she'll pay for this as she walks out.

DENVER - NOVEMBER 14: Offensive lineman Chris Kuper of the Denver Broncos blocks against Jovan Belcher of the Kansas City Chiefs at INVESCO Field at Mile High on November 14, 2010 in Denver, Colorado. The Broncos defeated the Chiefs 49-29. (Photo by Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)
Despite today's tragedy involving Jovan Belcher's apparent homicide, suicide, the NFL has advised the Carolina Panthers to make the trip to Kansas City as planned according to Joe Person. Considering the NFL's history of canceling games only in the most extreme of circumstances, it's unsurprising that this game will be played, although it seems surprising that the game has not been at least pushed back to Monday instead of its time slot of 1 PM tomorrow. According to a Kansas City Police spokesman, Belcher spoke with head coach Romeo Crennel, general manager Scott Pioli and another unnamed Chiefs staff member before shooting himself. Considering the circumstances, it seems likely that Roger Goodell is still weighing his options for this football game. Asking Carolina to make the trip to Kansas City keeps the league's options open, but it doesn't necessarily mean the game will be played on Sunday, or played at all this week. Expect to hear more from the league later in the day. [follow]

Yeah, that would be how to rub it in. Frank Gore notched his sixth season with 1,000 or more rushing yards Sunday, and he also piled up 63 yards rushing and 22 yards receiving plus a touchdown to lead the 49ers past the Dolphins 27-13. But if he and his team's dominance weren't conveyed well enough by his stat line and the scoreboard, Gore's getup after the game certainly told the story. Gore was hanging out in the locker room with what looked like a custom-made sweatshirt — of the well-known Miami Dolphins logo giving up the ghost. Sacramento Bee reporter Matt Barrows captured Gore's bravado. Check it out in the photo below. Photo via Instagram/mattbarrows

Image-Conscious: Oracle Releases Template Builder
Template Builder as of now is a permanent part of Oracle's JeOS mini-Linux and produces images, known as templates, for Oracle VM.
The VM Template Builder uses the Just Enough Operating System (JeOS) to produce minimally equipped image templates for Oracle's VM virtual server platform. Developers and ISVs can use a GUI to generate these pre-installed and pre-configured image templates that run on Oracle VM. According to Oracle's vision, these templates can reduce the ballast in a virtual OS in that only the minimally necessary packages are present.
The Linux-based JeOS and Oracle VM are both under GPL and Oracle's commercial support. Downloads are available from Oracle's E-Delivery site upon registration.
Oracle VM provides a virtualized x86 server, for example, for its own or Red Hat's Linux, and its databases and Fusion middleware. The Xen-based virtualization software saw its first light of day the end of 2007.
