Subscriber Responsibilities
Out of Scope Services
When you contact the BlackBerry® Technical Support team, a support ticket is initiated. Each support ticket is assigned a unique ticket number (for example, INC00001234567), which is used to track your issue from initiation to resolution.
The support ticket number will be provided either at the end of a call with a support representative or via an automated email message receipt when contacting BlackBerry Technical Support through the BlackBerry Expert Support Center.
Use this support ticket number for all communication relating to that specific issue.

Problem Definition and Classifications
Problem Definition
All requests for support are initially deemed to be problems by the BlackBerry® Technical Support team. When you report a problem, indicate its impact to your organization to assist the assigned BlackBerry Technical Support representative in classifying the problem's severity.
Problem Classifications
The severity classification of a problem is determined by the BlackBerry Technical Support representative and yourself.
|A critical incident is defined as a problem that causes a total loss of service for which no procedural workaround exists. This problem may affect either the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server or a majority of the deployed BlackBerry smartphones. The problem severely affects the ability to conduct business
Note: Research In Motion (RIM) support teams are paged 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for critical problems and the Problem Management Team will be contacted. You must agree to be available for engagement 24x7 until relief has been provided
|A serious incident is defined as a problem that causes a severe degradation of service. Your key business process is impaired but not disabled. You may continue your operation, but in a restricted fashion
|A normal incident is defined as a problem that has slightly compromised your ability to conduct business. Your productivity loss is minor. The situation may be temporarily circumvented with an established work-around
|A low incident is defined as a problem that has marginally (or not) compromised your ability to conduct business. The productivity loss is insignificant. This may include a request for service, enhancement or "how to" request. There is little or no risk of impact
Note: Severity classifications may be updated during the lifecycle of a problem being worked on by the BlackBerry Technical Support team if the impact to the customer changes. The severity classification will be assigned by RIM, in RIM's sole discretion.
Learn More
Response Times
The BlackBerry® Technical Support team sets response-time goals based on the method of access.
|Method of Access
|Response-time Goal
|BlackBerry Technical Support representatives strive to answer 80% of all incoming telephone inquiries within 90 seconds
|BlackBerry Expert Support Center
|The initial response time BlackBerry Technical Support representatives will strive to meet for incidents submitted electronically via the BlackBerry Expert Support Center is 2 hours
Note: The foregoing response-time goals are targets only and Research In Motion (RIM) shall not be considered to be in breach of any of its obligations if it can't fulfill such target times.

Direct Escalation Process
Should you have technical issues of a Critical and Serious nature and aren't satisfied with the response or resolution provided to you by BlackBerry® Technical Support, use the following escalation path to have your concerns addressed:
- Request to speak to a supervisor.
- Contact BlackBerry Technical Support Management. Provide your support ticket number and details about the situation, including the date and time of the occurrence, by email to firstname.lastname@example.com. You will receive a response within one hour.
If, after using one of these escalation paths, you'd like to request additional support or provide direct feedback to the Technical Support Executive team, email email@example.com. Your email will be sent to the Senior Management within Customer Support Operations at Research In Motion (RIM).
If you have general feedback regarding your technical support experience, email email@example.com.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Gov. Andrew Cuomo has received a flu shot to urge people to get the inoculations during a particularly serious flu season.
After getting his shot at a press conference Thursday, Cuomo received a lollipop from state Health Commissioner Nirav Shah.
Shah says more than 19,000 flu cases have been reported this year, compared to just over 4,000 last year.
Shah said two children died from the flu in New York and it's not too late to get shots to protect against the disease.
Cuomo said the shot didn't hurt at all.

While dishing on Wendy Williams' couch, Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon gave up the good about Jamie Foxx's expanding family.
Amongst all the baby news in the entertainment industry, one tot snuck in under everyone's radar. When Wendy asked Garcelle about her relationship with Jamie now, she let it slip that he and an unnamed woman had just had a baby.
"We saw each other Easter Sunday at a friend's house and he came with his lovely daughter and he told me that he had a new baby," Garcelle gabbed."I said.
We didn't even know that he'd gotten someone pregnant. Congrats, Jamie! In any case, check out the full clip of Garcelle delivering Jamie's good news.

Home Safety Products: Kids…SO, DO THESE CLEANERS REALLY WORK?
Hi…This post is all about home safety products that help protect kids health.
Here's what happened to me-check it out, then you decide if these cleaners
are effective:
Today I'm going to tell you a true story that happened to me a long time ago…
it's been more than 29 years that I started my journey to help parents raise
healthier kids.
On one of those early days, I was practicing a cleaning demo in
my brand new home so that I would feel confident presenting it
to a group of parents.
As I was holding a bottle of iodine (you know how that stains) in
the just-built white bathroom to do a demo that shows how the whitening laundry product I use does so well with removing stains…
Did you guess…I dropped the iodine – it hit the sink and promptly
spilled everywhere!
All over the white patterned vinyl wallpaper, white ceramic tile, grout…
dark brown was splattered all over my new white bathroom
Fortunately, my office was the room on the other side of the wall, so after
I got over the shock, I ran, got all my home safety products together and went to work.
When I got done…(in short order,) I looked around and was thrilled
to see every single spot and stain was gone – all but 1/8th inch
of grout that I got to cleaning last (I should have done it first
before it had a chance to absorb).
I was so excited I called my upline and told him, "Mike, my home
safety products work, they really work!"
The bathroom looked brand new again and was I ever a happy camper!
So what do you think about my tale of woe that ended on a very happy note?
Be well,

Health & Safety
The employer of a worker who was crushed to death in a building collapse says he plans to ignore the federal fines imposed in the case.
If so, this will be the second time in three years that Kennebec Home Improvements, of Augusta, ME, has done so.
Maine State Police
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is already pressing collection proceedings against the company to recover $6,750 in fines stemming from five serious citations issued in 2010.
'The Biggest Bully There Is'
Now, company owner Linwood Stover, 55, is facing a new case: three serious safety violations cited after an improperly supported house fell on top of his employee, Bobbie Rodriques, 54.
Rodrigues was killed and Stover suffered a back injury in the collapse May 15. A third employee on site summoned help.
The team had been attempting to replace a post foundation under the building and had jacked up the structure when it "apparently shifted and slipped off the posts," according to the Maine Department of Public Safety.
Serious Violations
The OSHA citations say the company failed to:
• Provide a solid foundation for jacks and place wood blocks above and below jacks;
• Secure the jacks with cribbing or blocking;
• Train employees to recognize unsafe conditions; and
• Have a competent person inspect the job site.
• Provide a solid foundation for jacks and place wood blocks above and below jacks;
• Secure the jacks with cribbing or blocking;
• Train employees to recognize unsafe conditions; and
• Have a competent person inspect the job site.
Serious violations, which carry a "substantial probability" of death or serious injury, carry a maximum $7,000 fine. In this case, each violation was assessed at just $3,080.
The amount was drastically reduced because of the company's small size, but then increased slightly because of its prior violations, according to OSHA.
'Picking on the Little People'
The Bangor Daily News reported that Stover, who has worked in construction since he was 19, said he wasn't going to pay the new fines, calling the violations inaccurate.
"We weren't doing anything they said we were doing," he told the paper. "Nothing was up on stilts or on our blocks. Everything was on existing posts they had under the camp." Rodrigues had been trying to shore up a sagging section of the floor when the house fell down, Stover said.
Stover said OSHA had been "picking on" him and was not concerned about safety.
Stover's lawyer, Pat Perrino of Augusta, said he was still reviewing the citations. The company has until Aug. 31 to contest the case; otherwise, the citations stand as issued.
"My gut reaction is we'll probably appeal," Perrino told The Portland Herald. "OSHA has a habit of picking on the little people all the time and making all these findings, but they're afraid to go after anyone else."
Stover told the Bangor Daily News that OSHA's "system is way broken. They need to fix their system before they try to fix mine."
IRS Calling
OSHA has procedures in place if companies do not pay settled fines.
That process starts with OSHA's internal debt collector and then escalates to private collection firms. Hard-core holdouts will eventually hear from the Internal Revenue Service.
The IRS step can be quite effective, OSHA Area Director Bill Coffin told the Kennebec Journal: "Some people turn over a leaf real quick when they get a letter from Washington."
Comment from Tom Schwerdt, (8/30/2012, 9:37 AM)
A worker dies, it could have been prevented and a mere $3,080 fine is "picking on little people"?!?!?
Comment from James Johnson, (8/30/2012, 10:51 AM)
A worker died, no one knows if it was preventable or not, the owner says the OSHA claims are bogus. Some independent third party needs to find the truth to sort this out. If OSHA's claims are true, then he should be fined, but if they are bogus then he should be reimbursed all costs to defend himself and the person filing any bogus claim should be immediately terminated. There needs to be accountability on both sides.
Comment from Kay Melcher, (8/31/2012, 6:06 AM)
James, the independent third party is OSHA. Worker safety laws exist for a reason. This owner has thumbed his nose at the laws more than once, and this time one man died and another was severely injured. There already are appeal processes, and OSHA's fines are ridiculously low to begin with. I wonder how many more workers will have to die before we put some teeth into the penalties for needlessly exposing them to danger.
Comment from John Fauth, (8/31/2012, 9:42 AM)
I am certainly no apologist for anyone conducting business unsafely, particularly when it results in an injury or death. On the other hand, it's a sad reality that some of our most important regulatory agencies (including OSHA and EPA) are no longer accepted as independent third parties. And much of their reputation has been tarnished by their own statements, and doings.
Comment from Larry Zacharias, (8/31/2012, 2:25 PM)
It does not take much time, effort, or money to prevent most serious accidents. Repeated serious incidents, as in this case, are a definite signal that the owner or manager of the business is either incompetent, uncaring, or is deliberately placing profit above life. There is some truth in the claim that OSHA over-regulates, however, in cases of repeated injury, that argument is just a smokescreen to hide outright negligence and an unwillingness to change.
One of the few things that California has leaned is that citations and fines will not make a business with this attitude change their unsafe practices. Out here, if an employee is injured or killed after repeated citations for willful or serious violations, the offender is now held criminally liable and will end up behind bars for manslaughter.
Comment from Tom Schwerdt, (9/4/2012, 9:28 AM)
A jury trial should certainly meet James's criteria for an independent 3rd party. Trial by a jury of his peers.
Comment from James Johnson, (9/4/2012, 11:37 AM)
OSHA is both a regulatory and ENFORCEMENT agency, thereby far from an Independent Third Party. I am not saying the contractor is right or without guilt. What I am saying is there have been statements made by both the defendant and the prosecutor, so what is needed is an independent third party, to determine who is correct as both sides are biased. In this case both sides have also been found to have overstepped the bounds in the past. A Grand Jury could hear evidence from both sides and determine if a full trial is justified, and if so let it go before a judge and jury to decide guilt and/or fine. Such action would serve to both rein in government over reach and to hold the contractor responsible for his actions.
Comment from John Fauth, (9/5/2012, 11:26 AM)
As Tom noted, a jury trial is the proper independent third party. What concerns some people is that the EPA can (and does) use the expense of defending one's self in a trial as a tacit form of punishment. Innocent or guilty, the EPA will exact its pound of flesh. On the other hand, Grand Juries are generally employed when a prosecutor wants someone else to absolve themselves of the responsibility inherent to making the difficult decision as to whether the case is strong enough to justify prosecution, or when the right decision might be politically unpopular. The EPA is not concerned with its reputation, or conviction rate.
Comment from Mike McCloud, (9/6/2012, 8:37 AM)
By the time you get to a jury trial, you have spent so much money on attorneys that it is cheaper to pay the fine.
Comment from James Johnson, (9/7/2012, 12:08 PM)
I forget what they call the legislation, but there is federal law that provides for the federal government to pay an individuals legal fees in such cases. The law was passed specifically to address the fact most individuals and businesses do not have the money to defend themselves from acts by the federal government.
Comment from Mike McCloud, (9/10/2012, 8:55 AM)
I'd like to know what act that is. I wonder if I can get reimbursed?

Created: 08/08/2014 4:36 PM WHEC.com
A Rochester man was found guilty of intent to distribute oxycodone and to acquire and obtain possession of oxycodone by misrepresentation, fraud, forgery and deception.
The U.S. Attorney's Office say the conspiracy 73-year-old James Marsh was involved in lasted from November 2008 to March 2010. We're told Marsh and other members of the conspiracy used fraudulent oxycodone prescriptions to acquire the medicine and then distributed it.
Government witnesses say Marsh also used names like "Joe Black" and "Cowboy" when requesting prescriptions from a co-conspirator for 60 80-milligram tablets of Oxycontin in exchange for cash payments. He also allegedly asked the prescriptions to be written for other co-conspirators. Investigators say Marsh drove these fraudulent patients to pharmacies in Rochester to fill the prescriptions before paying them $100 for the pills.
Marsh can face up to 20 years in prison, a fine of $1,000,000 or both for his charges.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but mostly as atheists, we believe in nothingness after death, or at least I think I do. But then we have all of this stuff with mediums and spirits that maybe point to evidence to an afterlife. Some mediums have told people things that no one else has known, so that really makes me wonder.
I was really just wondering what everyone's opinions were on afterlife and spirits and stuff like that. Like, what exactly do you think happens after death?
Views: 1668
I have personal evidence that I myself have experienced and verified from an independent source - several times. Any other evidence I might hear about remains other people's anecdotal evidence, and hasn't been verified by me. Therefore the jury's out at the moment on that stuff.
"Personal evidence" - 'nough said.
That, my friend, is a scientific attitude. Anything else is just "intellectualizing something away".
No, Simon. It's about honestly reporting the objective results of their tests. To require scientists to have no bias is to require them to be superhuman.
It's exactly because scientists can have biases ("I think I can explain something that's never been understood before") that we ask them to attempt to DISprove their theory rather than prove it.
That done, we have the further requirement that their results be repeatable and be subject to peer review.
All that done, being unbiased or not shouldn't figure in. The scientist whose biases intrude in his work will be unmasked in short order.
@Unseen - RE: "('I think I can explain something that's never been understood before')"
Somehow, I don't think Paynton is going to get that, because, based on knowledge I have of him, he too believes he "can explain something that's never been understood before."
I'm still waiting for him to change the world.
Likewise, Ray. I don't see any chink of light there at all.
Churches simplify Pascal's Wager to their advantage; they deny this life.
1. If a god exists, and if I follow church rules, then I will be rewarded.
2. If a god exists, and if I ignore church rules, then I will be punished.
3. If no god exists, and if I follow church rules, then I miss a lot of fun.
4. If no god exists, and if I ignore church rules, then I have a lot of fun.
One conclusion holds: church rules forbid fun.
I think Derek Acorra is a good example to why its probable that most if not all of these "mediums" are frauds.
Derek Acorah is nothing more than a shyster.
Derek Acorah is ridiculous and hilarious. That's obvious to anyone, but plenty of people lap him up.
Whether he's channeling a little Victorian girl, or an Arab prince - they all sound like a middle-aged white man from Liverpool.
I think Derek Acorra is a good example to why its probable that most if not all of these "mediums" are frauds.
One of the more damning bits of evidence is the million dollars sitting in a bank account, which the James Randi Educational Foundation will give to...
"...anyone who can show, under proper observing conditions, evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event."
To date, hundreds have applied, and then all have failed the preliminaries. No one has actually arrived at the formal test stage.
The people who apply for the cash are small-timers: sincere crackpots convinced they really do have supernatural abilities and as a result have no fear of discovery. James Randi is at a loss to explain why year after year goes by, and none of the big names-- John Edward, Lisa Williams, James Van Praagh, Sally Morgan, Derek Acorra-- ever swoops in to snap up the pile of easy cash.
Imagine that.

William Kershaw
Johnnie lad ye've been me friend for more than fifty years,
Ye propped me up when I'd have fallen flat upon me face.
Ye never laughed at what I said or at me foolish fears,
And suffered through me tempers with happy smiling grace.
When I were but a laddie, Da taught me how to be a man,
And Mama taught me about Church and that 'tis a sin to lie.
But John ye taught me how to be the best man that I can,
And that theres worse things that a man can do than cry.
But its angel wings i'm hearin' now, a flutterin' up there,
I think I'm heaven bound and pray that I am right.
If I am ye know theres credit due and yours the lions share,
For I'm fair certain that I'll be checkin' out tonight.
So take me hand old comrade, and let me take yours in love,
And let me tell ye that no man has ever had a better friend.
I'll be savin' ye a place right next to me in heaven up above,
Grieve not for me laddie buck, for death is not the end.

Jose Altuve's four-hit day paces Astros' comeback win over Rangers
Box score Jose Altuve should be the one to send the Astros into September with a four-hit game and a 3-2 win over the Rangers. The season's final month will see Chris Carter chase 40 home runs and the Astros grasp for 70 wins, but neither mark would match the buzz of a batting title […] [Read More]
Astros to balance depth with Class AAA playoff picture at September's start
Marwin Gonzalez was on the bench again Sunday, resting his right hamstring. The good news for the Astros going forward is that they won't have to play short again.

How to Win the KitchenAid Giveaway Today
Just leave a comment on this post telling me what recipe/topic you would like to see featured on ZESTY in 2012. Remember, you can still enter the contest from previous days!
– – – – – – – – – –
Happy Friday!! I have a great re-post of a delicious recipe for you today!
Tis the season for POTLUCKS. If you're invited to a party, heading to a potluck or just craving a chocolate treat that takes little to no effort – this is a recipe for you. Now as you read further you will realize that a lot of this recipe comes with off the shelf help. Items like chocolate cake in a box, instant chocolate pudding, skor bars and some homemade whip cream.
My mom makes this recipe sometimes when we have family functions – so the last time I was invited to a potluck I dragged this along (see picture above). Needless to say, when this made it out on the table for dessert it was an instant hit and didn't last very long.
Next time you need a simple sweet treat – try this one.
- 1 Chocolate Cake Mix
- 1 Package Instant Chocolate Pudding
- 3 Skor Bars
- 3 Cups Whip Cream
- Bake a chocolate cake mix in a 9×13″ pan as per instructions.
- Break cake into 1″ cubes.
- Hammer or use food processor to crumble up 3-4 SKOR bars (or use a package of SKOR bits).
- Prepare 1 package of chocolate pudding mix as per instructions.
- In a large bowl filled with pieces of cake cubes, place a layer of pudding, then a layer of whipped cream and finally topped with some SKOR bar bits.
- Repeat layers. Once you reach the top of the bowl, top with remaining skor bar bits.
ZestyTip: A common downfall when baking cakes is opening the oven door too soon. This sudden rush of cold air into a warm/hot oven will result in the cake collapsing and coming out flat. The oven door should not be opened until ¾'s the way through allowed cooking time. Controlling its browning process is essential.

Extremely poor service. Hope it improves because we were excited to try this restaurant on valentines day but had a disappointing time. Cesco has a lot of work to do.
Posted by Anonymous on 02/12/2012
One of the very best restaurants in downtown Bethesda. If you have been to their restaurant in Tuscany and love Italian food, you will not be disappointed. The service was great, the wine and food pairings fabulous. A family restaurant feel at one end with an upscale bar and trendy side to the restaurant at the other. A+
Posted by Senator C. on 02/04/2012
Food was good and the renovations were very nice. The service (if you can call it that) was way below par for this type of restaurant. Specifically the hostess and waiter. We were seated and waited 15 minutes for menu's even after asking for them several times. Waiter would disappear for long periods of time. Also, watch your bill as they will charge you for things you did not order or, more than the menu price. Look for a new restaurant coming soon to this location. I give Cesco less than a year. We won't go back and will share our experience with others.

Very impressed by the beautiful renovation and lovely warm staff but more importantly the food was delicious and served hot. The selections are varied and value priced and the atmosphere is festive and lively - great way to spend an evening!

Vernor v. Autodesk
This case tests whether the "first sale doctrine" in copyright law which makes it legal to resell lend or give away books CDs DVDs and software that you own will survive in the digital age of "licensed" content.
Timothy Vernor is an online software reseller who tried to auction four packages of Autodesk's AutoCAD software on eBay. Autodesk threatened Mr. Vernor with a copyright lawsuit claiming that its software is only "licensed " never sold. With the assistance of the public interest litigators at Public Citizen Vernor filed suit in Seattle against Autodesk asking the court to clarify his right to resell the AutoCAD software packages. He prevailed before the district court in 2009 prompting Autodesk to appeal.
Autodesk's position is that its software is "licensed " rather than sold and thus that the first sale doctrine doesn't apply (it only applies to copies you "own " not those you merely lease). If that's right then it would violate copyright law lend or resell it without Autodesk's permission.
In an amicus curiae brief filed with the court of appeals EFF—joined by the Consumer Federation of America the American Library Association Association of Research Libraries Association of College and Research Libraries U.S. Public Interest Research Group and Public Knowledge—argued that copyright owners should not be able to trump the first sale doctrine by using a few "magic words" in a "license agreement."

God Bless!
"The Spirit Himself Beareth Witness" The Holy Spirit is God, equated with the Father, and the Son. He dwells within all who are born again. He is our Comforter, Counselor, Teacher and Guide. He is the one who directs our path and in the process, assures us of the new birth. He reveals truth of scripture and makes known the mystery of knowing Christ. He is the passkey to all the treasures of experiencing God. $10.95
"But He Giveth More Grace" Book six deals with how to appropriate the divine enabling power of God and live in greater victory. It is doubtful there is any ingredient that shapes a person's walk of faith more than their understanding of and appreciation of the grace of God. Tom has often said "If you are going to err in your theology, do it on the side of grace." This book is about growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Growing in grace is one of the highest callings we have as Christians.$10.95
"The Weapons of our Warfare" The Weapons of our Warfare is not a book so much on the strategy of Satan or demonology, but rather a book on the spiritual weapons from scripture and how to use them. We are in a spiritual battle and flesh and blood weapon's won't work. The academy may equip a soldier with the knowledge of what his weapons are, but he only gets good with his weapons as he uses them in the heat of battle. There is a list of 21 weapons, all of them tried and proven on the field of battle. $10.95
"You Must Be Born Again" This is the first in seven books I hope to write under the theme of consecrated living. It may be the shortest but it may well be the most important. Salvation is a spiritual experience and is impossible without the word of God (the gospel) and the Holy Spirit. This book focuses on the basic truths necessary to be born again, and what it really means to have eternal life. My deepest passion is that all those God has entrusted to my sphere of influence would genuinely experience the new birth. My prayer is that this book will be used to that end. $10.95
"Lord Teach Us To Pray" It took me ten years to learn to pray, and as I have been praying the Lord has been teaching me how. I have come to learn that prayer is acknowledging my absolute dependence on God. Prayer is the greatest expression of my faith. Prayer is contact with deity. Prayer moves God to do things he otherwise wouldn't do. Prayer is taking out of my hands that which I cannot do and placing into God's hands that which only He can do. Is it any wonder that Charles Spurgeon said that he would rather teach one man to pray than ten men to preach. It is my prayer that God would use this small effort to aid in someone's journey of learning to pray, especially my descendants. $10.95
"By the Word of God" It is my desire to write a series of seven book under the theme "Essentials of a Consecrated Life." This will be of value in leaving a legacy of faith for my family. This book "By the Word of God" is book three and deals with the importance of knowing God's Word. Book one "Ye Must Be Born Again" is a clear and simple presentation of the gospel from John chapter three. Book two "Lord Teach Us To Pray" contains some of the truths I have learned over the years in my journey of faith and prayer. The title of book four is "For Me and My House" which will deal with things pertaining to marriage, child rearing and grand parenting. Book five "The Weapons of Our Warfare" will give insights on how to stand against the unseen enemy of our soul. Book six "But He Giveth More Grace" will deal with how to appropriate the divine enabling power of God and live in victory. Book seven "The Spirit Himself Beareth Witness" will reveal that successful Christian living is accomplished through our relationship with the Person and work of the Holy Spirit.
"For Me and My House" Writing books for our children and grand-children is a great adventure for me in my journey of faith. I am now over half way in my goal of seven books and already the benefits have far outweighed the expenditures. It has given me greater clarity on the important things of life and continues to strengthen my faith in the foundational truths of scripture. Book one, You Must Be Born Again, is a simple presentation of the gospel from John chapter three. Book two, Lord Teach Us to Pray, contains powerful and helpful insights to establishing a daily prayer life. Book three, By the Word of God, encourages saints of all ages to grow deeper in love with the Word of God. Book four, For Me and My House, is about the grace of God in our endeavor to have a Christ centered home. Book five, The Weapons of Our warfare, will give some helpful insights on how to stand firm against the unseen enemy of our souls. Book six, But He Giveth More Grace, will deal with how to appropriate the divine enabling power of God and live in victory. Book seven, The Spirit Himself Beareth Witness, will deal with hearing and obeying the voice of God.

The New York Times has run a curious op-ed by a writer I've never heard of: Lara M. Dadkhah, who is identified simply as an "intelligence analyst" for some unnamed defense consulting firm and also apparently a current or recent grad student at Georgetown's School of Foreign Service (h/t Glenn Greenwald). In it, she repeats the standard canard heard from a handful of right-wingers who accuse Gen. Stanley McChrystal of putting his troops at undue risk by limiting their use of airpower.
This is a serious charge to make against one of the most respected generals in the Army, and one who has been closely associated with some of the most dangerous and risky special operations that the military carries out. Anyone who flings around this accusation better have some good evidence. But Dadkhah seriously undercuts her case with sweeping overgeneralizations.
She claims, for instance, that "air support to American and Afghan forces has been all but grounded by concerns about civilian casualties" and that "American and NATO military leaders — worried by Taliban propaganda claiming that air strikes have killed an inordinate number of civilians, and persuaded by 'hearts and minds' enthusiasts that the key to winning the war is the Afghan population's goodwill — have largely relinquished the strategic advantage of American air dominance."
In the first place, she entirely neglects one of the key "strategic advantages of American air dominance" — namely, the ability to conduct surveillance and reconnaissance of the battlefield, which gives troops on the ground a huge advantage in terms of knowing where their enemies are. Other advantages of airpower that she neglects to mention are the ability to do aerial resupply and medivac. All three are vital to the conduct of operations, in fact probably more vital than the ability to call in air strikes. But even if you stick to kinetic strikes from the air, her evidence is weak. She writes:
While the number of American forces in Afghanistan has more than doubled since 2008, to nearly 70,000 today, the critical air support they get has not kept pace. According to my analysis of data compiled by the United States military, close air support sorties, which in Afghanistan are almost always unplanned and in aid of troops on the ground who are under intense fire, increased by just 27 percent during that same period
Even granting that those figures are accurate, what makes her think that they are the result of directives designed to limit air strikes? Might it not simply be a case of the troop presence growing faster than the number of aircraft they have available to support them? U.S. forces in Afghanistan have long been under-resourced in terms of air support simply because there were not enough aircraft to go around, and until last year Iraq had top priority. That is changing, but it is taking a while to build up Afghanistan's primitive infrastructure to create runways and other facilities that can support a large number of aircraft. The task is all the more daunting because Afghanistan is much more spread out than Iraq, so aircraft have to be based all over the country to be available on-call within a few minutes of the start of a firefight. In fact, Dadkhah's own figures suggest that there has been only a modest decline in the number of air strikes called in: "Pentagon data show that the percentage of sorties sent out that resulted in air strikes has also declined, albeit modestly, to 5.6 percent from 6 percent."
Dadkhah is even more off-base when she denies the obvious: that sometimes excessive force can be harmful to mission accomplishment in a counterinsurgency. She writes: "So in a modern refashioning of the obvious — that war is harmful to civilian populations — the United States military has begun basing doctrine on the premise that dead civilians are harmful to the conduct of war. The trouble is, no past war has ever supplied compelling proof of that claim. " No compelling data? Really? Perhaps she might examine the case of the Red Army in Afghanistan in the 1980s. The Soviets killed hundreds of thousands of Afghans and in the process lost the war by turning the population against them. That is a mistake that McChrystal is wise not to repeat.

Recipe by MICHELLE0011
"A quick, easy and delicious way to make a romantic seafood dinner!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.
Show ingredients on sale

Watch video tips and tricks
2 (4 ounce)
halibut fillets
peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp, tail still attached
1/3 cup
dry white wine
2 tablespoons
melted butter
1 tablespoon
lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon
seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay™
1 teaspoon
minced garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon
chopped fresh parsley
I didn't have any scallops, so I left them out. I also didn't have any Old Bay seasoning, so I mixed another Tblsp of butter and the garlic with some panko breadcrumbs and some seasoned salt, lemon zest and pepper and sprinkled this mixture over the fish and shrimp. It was delicious. Halibut is $10 a pound on sale here in Las Vegas, and I was looking for a recipe that would do it justice. This was it. Next time I'll make sure I have all the right ingredients. Excellent recipe!
This was just an okay dish for us. I think there was just simply too much liquid for it to get golden brown the way I like it--I think using just butter and leaving out the wine would have taken care of that. As written, it almost poaches rather than bakes. Not bad, but just average and won't be on my "make again" list.
47 Ratings
Wow, this recipe is fantastic! I cooked 1/2 lb. each of scallops and shrimp, and used captain's cut cod instead of the halibut. I increased the butter and lemon juice, and also added the chopped parsley before it went in the oven. I served the "juice" from the pan alongside for dipping. My husband and I devoured every last bite. Thanks so much for the recipe Michelle, this one is a keeper!
Not bad at all. No halibut at the fish market that day, so being the Jersey Girl I am I picked up fresh flouder. I thought there was an aweful lot of liquid in this recipe, but it made a nice sauce that I poured over the couscous and asparagus as sides.
YUM! I followed the recipe exactly. The scallops turned out amazing!!!!! better than any restaurant's scallops I've ever had. the halibut was good, too. I think the shrimp may have been a bit overcooked. I cooked the dish for 10 minutes and let it sit on the stove in the pan with no heat for an extra two minutes. I will make again. My husband said it felt like a "saturday night meal", not like a wednesday night meal. ;)
Thank you for the recipe!
This is a really easy dish to prepare and you can easily change the ingredients to suit your tastes or what you have on hand. I have made this several times and had several kinds of white fish. Thanks for the post.
This was delicious! Simple and fresh flavors enhance the natural flavors of the fish. We used Mahi Mahi instead of Halibut and it was to die for!
My husband made this with his catch of the day (one bake with Amberjack, one bake with Grouper)along with fresh, local shrimp and scallops. It was absolutely wonderful!!! We live in Florida and use fresh seafood often. We will definitely make it again!

In 1981, Matra, a French company, signed a deal with Tandy in order to produce Tandy machines in France: the production site was located in Wintzenheim. In 1983, Matra and Tandy agreed on the development of a TRS-80 MC-10 clone: the Alice. Matra also signed a deal with Hachette, a French publisher, to produce the documentation and to take care of the distribution. The illustrator Jean Giraud, famously known as "Moebius", made the illustration that appears both on the cover of the documentation book and the box.
The only differences between Alice and the MC-10 are the color and the ROM, but they both looked like toys.
Although Alice was quite limited, it was also quite great to use ! The AZERTY keyboard had 47 keys and the SHIFT key (the only one) enabled to access graphical symbols. The Alice could be programmed using the built-in Microsoft Basic language.
The very first computer program in my life consisted in displaying ASCII art animations ! I was 7 or 8 years old when I wrote a program that displayed animations on a frame by frame basis: a man running on the screen, a tank coming from the left and shooting… Each frame was displayed by the mean of PRINT statements that contained graphic symbols inserted using the SHIFT key. At the time, my father only explained me the LOAD, RUN, IF, THEN, ELSE and GOTO instructions, so I made the animation loop using the famous GOTO 10 statement !
I even found the manual at my parents' place: at the end I even wrote down programs in the pages reserved for personal notes. I was 7 or 8 years old :)

You have several overlapping concerns here. Here's one possible solution; other posters have given other examples. 1) can be solved by using an encrypted filesystem [have a look at vnconfig for example and [1]]. 2) is solved by making sure your laptop isn't the sole source of your mails. I would suggest using offlineimap (which is in ports) to synchronise your mail against a central server. This allows you to have multiple "checkouts" of your mail on different machine, all updated and kept in sync in a pleasant way. I have my mail checked out this way on 3 or 4 different machines. 3) tunnel offlineimap over ssh. [I use Courier-IMAP as my server, but that's not a significant detail - most servers will allow SSL and / or SSH tunneling without any problems.] Laurie [1] http://www.backwatcher.org/writing/howtos/obsd-encrypted-filesystem.html -- http://tratt.net/laurie/

Kenji over at Serious Eats is always surprising us with new tips and cooking methods in his series The Food Lab, but this time around might be the most surprising yet. For this installment, he took on a perennial summer favorite: sun tea. You might not think there are many variables to test with sun tea. You just put water and tea bags in the sun, right?
Not so quick. Kenji tested a number of variables to find how to make the perfect sun tea, which, unlike traditional tea, is brewed without using high heat and served iced. After testing tea type, container type, water-tea ratio, and vicinity to sun (he made it in the sun, in the shade, and in the fridge) he found that the best sun tea uses... no sun at all! The best tasting tea, according to his testing methods, is made by brewing tea in the fridge for about 5 hours. No sun requried.
Which made us think: Does sun tea brewed in the fridge even count as sun tea? We're not sure on that one, but we can't wait to try Kenji's new brewing method for a resfreshing summer glass of tea!

Graffiti a recurring problem for South Portland sound wall
SOUTH PORTLAND — The new sound barrier may be providing some residents with some much needed quiet from the Interstate 295.
But the recurring acts of graffiti are giving city leaders and law enforcement a headache.
Since being constructed last winter, the 3,500 foot long wall has been tagged twice by vandals. In each case, the Maine Department of Transportation has been slow to respond.
Rapid removal of graffiti is widely accepted at the best way to prevent future vandalism.
Two years ago, the city adopted a tough anti-graffiti ordinance that requires landowners to remove graffiti within 48 hours of being notified by the city. If not removed within 10 days, the property would be referred to Code Enforcement as a nuisance property and could be subject to fines.
But the state appears to be an exception to that rule.
While the first instance of graffiti, which occurred in November before the wall was even finished, was covered with a blue tarp for months until temperatures were warm enough to remove the paint, the most recent vandalism has been unattended for three to four weeks.
Officer Jeffrey Caldwell, who helped draft the anti-graffiti ordinance and investigates graffiti in the city, said the state police have taken the vandalism report on the sound wall, since it is the state's jurisdiction.
But Caldwell is concerned the wall is becoming a magnet for vandals.
"I am very concerned that this will be an ongoing issue," Caldwell said. "I am trying to work with a business in the area that seems to be attracting graffiti vandals to the area by not removing the graffiti from their building."
Assistant City Manager Erik Carson said he informed the DOT about the graffiti by phone last week and again this week. While he is still awaiting a response, Carson expects it will be removed as soon as possible.
But that could take some time.
DOT Spokesperson Herb Thompson said graffiti removal is not a priority for the department, which must maintain 8,500 center-line miles of interstate, over 3,000 bridges and other structures.
"There's a lot of graffiti out there," Thompson said. "We really don't want to over-dedicate resources to graffiti."
Meanwhile, residents seem content to tolerate the visual blight to enjoy auditory peace.
Dawson Street resident Mike Hebert said vandals used to tag the outer perimeter of his parents' wooden fence, but have stopped with the construction of the sound wall.
Fellows Street resident Arlene McCracken, who cannot see the graffiti from her house, said she enjoys the aesthetics of the wall, as well as its practical purpose.
"I like the design; it looks earthy," she said. "(The noise) is not as intense. Most of my conversations are not yelling anymore."
Fellows Street resident Ed McDonough, who lobbied state officials for years to build the sound wall, said he hasn't noticed the vandalism, which is far away on the northern portion of the wall.
McDonough said graffiti is not a problem as long as it stays where it is and it's a small trade-off to have a little more piece and quiet.
"(Vandals) will eventually work their way up," said McDonough, who noted the DOT's clear cutting of trees has made the wall less effective. "I'd rather take my chances with graffiti."
While residents seem tolerant to graffiti, city officials are not.
City Manager Jim Gailey said he is troubled by the failure of the DOT to quickly remove the graffiti.
"I expressed this concern before the wall was constructed and was given the assurances from MDOT that rapid removal would be a practice they would live by," Gailey said.
While the graffiti is not a "burning issue" politically, Mayor Tom Coward said he is concerned that the thousands of motorists traveling on I-295 may come to associate graffiti with the city.
"It doesn't add to the image of the city to have that out there," Coward said.
Thompson said the DOT will remove the graffiti as soon as possible and noted the department is in the process of formalizing a statewide graffiti response plan, which would place emphasis on highly visible areas.
"At this time we don't have a plan to remove it tomorrow," Thompson said on Wednesday. "But we will likely be removing it soon."

Woodland Bath Salt Seizures
On Thursday February 6, MDEA Agents from the Aroostook County Task Force, assisted by the Aroostook County Sheriff's Department, executed a search warrant on the home of Lance and Kathryn Ellison in Woodland.
This warrant was the result of a several month investigation into the distribution of synthetic hallucinogens, so-called "bath salts", in Central Aroostook County. During the search of the residence, agents and deputies located and seized, a shotgun, a loaded 9mm handgun, $6,760., 3.39 pounds of a-PVP aka: "bath salts", with a street value of $308,000, numerous laptop computers, cell phones, along with other evidence of drug trafficking. In addition to the a-PVP, agents also seized a quantity of the prescription drugs Suboxone and Fentanyl.
As a result of the investigation, 44 year old Lance Ellison, was charged with Aggravated Trafficking in a Schedule W drug (Synthetic Hallucinogens)- Class A and possession of a firearm by a felon- Class C. At the time of his arrest, Ellison was also on probation for being in possession of a firearm by a felon. Ellison's criminal record includes a 1990 armed robbery conviction for which he received a 10 year sentence, a 2003 aggravated trafficking in heroin conviction for which he received an 8 year sentence, and a 2013 conviction for possession of a firearm by a felon. Ellison's current drug charges were aggravated due to the seizure of a loaded firearm located near where the drugs were seized and because of his 2003 heroin conviction.
Ellison's wife, 41 year old Kathryn Ellison, was charged with Aggravated Trafficking in Schedule W drugs (Synthetic hallucinogens) Class A. Both of Ellison's will be arraigned later today in Houlton. Currently, bail is set at $100,000 cash on Kathryn. A probation hold was placed on Lance Ellison and bail has not currently been set.
MDEA Director Roy McKinney states this seizure highlights the disturbing fact that bulk quantities of these synthetic hallucinogens or "bath salts" continue to dominate the illicit drug market in all areas of this state, to include rural Northern Maine.

VIDEO | Forrest Griffin doesn't want to get beat up by a guy in pink tights
"The thing about Phil Davis is I really don't wanna get beat up by a guy in pink tights. He's long, he's quick, obviously a great shot, great wrestling, great anaconda choke. I have that to look forward to. What he does is a good job of beating you up from the top, frustrating you, until you come up into him kinda in bad form and that's when he looks for that anaconda."

Buy it from
- Buy the CD
- Calvin Harris
- 18 Months
- Columbia
- 2012
- Tell us what you think: Rate and review this album
Given the number of hit singles that have already leaked out of it – six, including the current UK No 1 – the release of Calvin Harris's third album feels almost like a formality. Nothing else on 18 Months matches up to the blockbusting collaborations with Kelis, Florence Welch and Rihanna (although his reconciliation with Dizzee Rascal, Here 2 China, is a lot of fun). What's striking is how the Dumfries DJ's sound has both grown – the guitar loop on Feel So Close is built with arena-sized spaces in mind – and reduced: Harris's production has become increasingly homogenised and, despite the array of vocalists, everything here risks sounding the same.
