Arkansas State removing cross decal from football helmets
(RNS) The decals had been added as a way to memorialize a former player and an equipment manager who died this year, the university's athletic director says.
(RNS) The decals had been added as a way to memorialize a former player and an equipment manager who died this year, the university's athletic director says.
NEW YORK (RNS) Atheists said they suffered from both physical and emotional damages from the presence of the beamed cross at the official 9/11 museum, resulting in headaches, indigestion and mental pain.
NEW YORK (RNS) "There's no constitutional requirement the cross has to be balanced by something else," attorney Mark Alcott said. "The museum is not a proponent or opponent of religion."
CANTERBURY, England (RNS) The Christian cross has become little more than a piece of jewelry worn around the necks of celebrities, said Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby.
ST. LOUIS (RNS) The Cardinals' general manager, John Mozeliak, said he learned of the images from media reports and immediately asked the grounds crew to halt the practice. "I didn't ask for the reason behind it. I just asked for it to stop."
(RNS) A war memorial cross that has been the center of a legal battle for more than a decade will be re-erected within California's Mojave National Preserve on Veterans Day but it will be located on private land. By Adelle M. Banks.
(RNS) Christians have their crosses and crucifixes, Jews their Stars of David and Buddhists their lotuses. Atheists ask, why shouldn't they and other nonbelievers have their own symbols as well? By Kimberly Winston.

Daimler Makes Breakthrough in Lithium-Ion Battery Technology
Debuting on S 400 Hybrid
Mercedes is preparing to go green in a big way, and now the company has announced they have made a major breakthrough with lithium-ion battery technology. The breakthrough allows the company to become the first manufacturer to succeed in adapting lithium-ion technology for use in automotive applications.
The main advantage lithium-ion batteries offer over conventional nickel-metal batteries are compact dimensions and superior performance. By integrating the batteries into the climate control system, the battery pack operates at optimal temperatures providing a long service life and maximum performance.
Available on the S 400 BlueHYBRID, which will arrive in 2009, the system only consumes 7.9 liters of gasoline per 100 km. CO2 emissions are rated at 190 grams per kilometer, making the S 400 Hybrid the world's most economical luxury sedan. Power is rated at 220 kW (299 hp) and 375Nm of torque, allowing the hybrid to accelerate from zero to 62mph in 7.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 250km/h (155mph).
The system will also be used in the S 300 BlueTec Hybrid which will maximize fuel efficiency by combining a diesel engine with hybrid technology.
Daimler Makes Breakthrough in Lithium-Ion Battery Technology
First patented integration of a lithium-ion battery into a series-produced passenger car
Available in Mercedes-Benz S 400 BlueHYBRID starting in 2009
25 patents for top technology "made in Germany"
Daimler AG has achieved a crucial breakthrough in battery technology. The Stuttgart-based automaker is the world's first manufacturer to have succeeded in adapting lithium-ion technology to the demanding requirements of automotive applications. Until now, the technology has been used primarily in consumer electronics. The new battery will be used in the series-production S 400 BlueHYBRID beginning next year. This important technology was possible thanks to 25 patents held by Daimler.
Dr. Thomas Weber, member of the Daimler AG Board of Management and responsible for Group Research and Mercedes-Benz Cars Development, says: "What we have here is a groundbreaking key technology that is going to be a decisive factor for the future success of the automotive industry. That is a tribute to our intensive research efforts, which we have been conducting in this area since 1992."
The engineers' success is above all a result of the Daimler-developed integration of the lithium-ion battery into the vehicle's climate control system. This ensures that the battery always works at optimal system temperatures of between 15 and 35°C, which in turn makes it possible for the battery to provide long service life and maximum performance.
The main advantages offered by the newly developed lithium-ion battery are its very compact dimensions and its far superior performance compared to conventional nickel-metal hydride batteries. The weight/power ratio of the entire battery is 1,900 watts per liter (W/L). What's more, the battery stands out by virtue of its high ampere-hour efficiency, long service life, and great reliability, even at very low temperatures. Its high level of safety is the equal of that provided by today's auto batteries.
Lithium-ion batteries are ideally suited for use in hybrid vehicles to help reducing fuel consumption and thus also CO2 emissions. At the same time, the Daimler engineers are investigating to what degree this technology can be applied to other vehicle concepts, such as electric and fuel cell-powered cars.
S 400 BlueHYBRID - the world's most economical luxury sedan
The S 400 BlueHYBRID consumes only 7.9 liters of gasoline per 100 km in the NEDC. This results in very low CO2 emissions of only 190 grams per kilometer, a very low value for this vehicle class and power class, making the S 400 BlueHYBRID the world's most economical luxury sedan - unrivaled by any gasoline, diesel, or hybrid drive system offered by any competitor.
And S 400 BlueHYBRID drivers will still enjoy impressive performance: combined with the hybrid module, the maximum output is 220 kW/299 hp, and the corresponding maximum torque is 375 Nm. The S 400 BlueHYBRID accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 7.3 seconds on its way to an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h.
Even more potential is offered by the combination of clean BlueTec diesel technology with a hybrid module, a duo that is featured in the S 300 BlueTec HYBRID, for example.

Jolly Beats Sink in Special Congressional Race
PINELLAS COUNTY -- Republican David Jolly defeated Democrat Alex Sink on Tuesday in the special election for the District 13 House district vacated by CW Bill Young.
With almost 100 percent of the vote counted, Jolly garnered 48.5 percent, while Sink received 46.7 percent and Libertarian candidate Lucas Overby got 4.8 percent. Sink conceded shortly before 8 p.m.
Over $11 million had been spent on the race, which saw big names and out of state money from both parties trying to give their side an advantage. Because polling had the race so tight, it was seen as a possible bellweather for to November elections.
"I want to extend a big congratulations to David Jolly on his victory tonight," said National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Greg Walden in a statement. "David proved that Pinellas County voters are tired of the devastating policies of this administration. Throughout this campaign, David has outlined his vision on how to grow the economy, create jobs and deliver quality healthcare for Pinellas families.

Last night we were invited over to some friends house who live on Capitol Hill here in DC. We all had a grand time, and after the hot dogs and lemon bars and pound cake with blueberries and strawberries six of us were sitting around waiting to walk down to the Mall for the fireworks. I'm diligently knitting, working on Stephen West's Boneyard because I am so close to finishing I can taste it...when SNAP. I look down, and the Denise interchangeable needle I was using BROKE - the needle didn't come out of the attachment, but rather, the attachment part completely broke off the cord! I've never had that happen.
The funny this is, that I'm knitting in a room full of gay men, and right after I broke the needle off and am looking somewhat perplexed at a shawl that is almost completed and has now fallen off the needles, one of the men looks up and says "Wow, you really ARE a butch knitter!" Made me smile.
So now to find another size 8 circular needle in my collection and get the shawl back on some needles before it totally unravels...
Jonathan in DC
WARNING: The Boneyard shawl can be addictive! I'm now about to finish my fourth and fifth (see, I'm even knitting them two at a time!) --- different weights of yarn and needle sizes.
Wow, what a weird thing to have happen. I feel for you and will take it to heart to carry an extra needle [thanks for the tip, Bill] so as to never have to deal with that mess. Looking forward to seeing the finished shawl. p.s. - I don't know that anyone ever consders me a "butch knitter" but I don't worry about such things...I'm too busy knitting. -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.
Hi Joe,
Yeah, I dare say it's the ONLY time I've ever been accused of being a butch knitter - but I guess maybe breaking stuff makes you butch! :-)
LOL...Anybody can break stuff. The butch part is being proud enough to knit in any type of public venue. :-) Especially since too many people still consider knitting a woman's pastime. -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.
What a shame! I'm sure you had several hours of knitting time left in the evening...
I haven't had that happen yet, but I try to carry an extra needle in each project bag, so I can at least pick up dropped stitches, when it does happen....
Thanks Bill! Found an Addi #8 circular needle in my collection and got the shawl back on the needles. Hopefully I can get it finished this week.
Glad you're back on track, Jonathan!

Willamette Shuts Outs Howard Payne, 4-0, in Season Opener
Bearcats Score Twice in First Seven Minutes
SALEM, ORE. -- Willamette University scored three goals in the first 19 minutes against Howard Payne University, including two goals in the first seven minutes, as the Bearcats built an early lead on their way to a 4-0 shut out of the Yellow Jackets on Friday, Aug. 30 at Sparks Field. It was the season opener for both teams.
Adam Lewis (Jr., MF, Corvallis, OR/Crescent Valley HS/Pomona-Pitzer) scored on a header just 4:17 into the game on an assist from Trevor Jensen (Sr., MF, Chula Vista, CA/Bonita Vista HS). Jensen began the play by taking a free kick 45 yards from the goal. His lengthy pass found Lewis for an uncontested shot and an early lead.
Jensen led Willamette last season with eight assists and 18 total points.
WU increased the score to 2-0 on a 12-yard shot by Austin Jacobson (So., MF, Salem, OR/South Salem HS) from the left side at the 6:48 mark. The ball was sent barely outside the penalty area by an HPU defender before Jacobson gained control, dribbled forward and shot into the right side of the net.
Tyler Yates (So., MF, Kailua-Kona, HI/Kealakehe HS), who scored twice on the night, opened his account at 18:22 on an 8-yard shot after receiving a through-pass from Yazan Hishmeh (So., F, Ventura, CA/Saint Bonaventure HS). Hishmeh's pass from 25 yards out found the feet of Yates as he made a run into the box toward the left post.
A couple of touches later, Yates sent the ball into the left side of the net.
Willamette continued to lead 3-0 at halftime after outshooting the Yellow Jackets, 12-4, over the first 45 minutes.
Howard Payne played the final 38:58 with 10 men after Kevin Ruiz received a red card on a tackle near midfield early in the second half.
Yates provided the game's final goal at 79:56 on a 15-yard shot into the middle of the net after HPU goalkeeper Ryan Young saved a hard shot from the right side by Julian Hanlon-Austin (Fr., MF, Portland, OR/Grant HS). The rebound from Hanlon-Austin's shot went straight to Yates, who was wide open near the top of the penalty area.
The Bearcats finished the game with a 23-8 advantage in shots. Willamette placed 11 shots on goal while holding HPU to one shot on target. WU achieved a 7-1 margin in shots on goal in the first half.
Willamette earned 12 corner kicks on the night, including seven in the first half, while Howard Payne managed just three corner kicks.
Three WU goalies combined for the shutout. Braydon Calder (So., Philomath, OR/Philomath HS) started in goal and played the first 45 minutes. He recorded the win and Willamette's only save. Julian Juarez (So., Honolulu, HI/Punahou School) began the second half and played 34:56. Josh Fuentes (Fr., Salem, OR/South Salem HS) played the final 10:04.
Young was in goal for the entire game for Howard Payne. He registered six saves.
Willamette will host Lawrence University on Sunday, Sept. 1 at Sparks Field. Game time is set for 4 p.m. (PDT). The Bearcats are scheduled to play six of their first seven game at home.

Letter: Not news?
Nick Hale, Naples
Not news?
Although it's all over Fox News, for several days, I have yet to read in the Daily News the disturbing information about our government's failure to respond in time to the recent Benghazi situation, where four Americans were left to die. State Department and military sources say there were appropriate military troops available to be on site within five hours of the incident's start, but they were not sent there.
Then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stonewalled for weeks before her totally inadequate response of "What difference would it have made?"
Now the government whistle-blowers have hired Victoria Toensing, a top attorney and former high official in the attorney general's office. Congressman Darrell Issa is on top of the situation. We will see if the employees who state they are threatened with retaliation will be able to make their case without losing their jobs.
What's up, Daily News?

Walter E. "Furry" Lewis (March 6, 1893 – September 14, 1981)[1] was an American country blues guitarist and songwriter from Memphis, Tennessee. Lewis was one of the first of the old-time blues musicians of the 1920s to be brought out of retirement, and given a new lease of recording life, by the folk blues revival of the 1960s.
Life and career[edit]
Walter E. Lewis was born in Greenwood, Mississippi, United States, but his family moved to Memphis when he was aged seven.[1] Lewis acquired the nickname "Furry" from childhood playmates.[2] By 1908, he was playing solo for parties, in taverns, and on the street. He was also invited to play several dates with W. C. Handy's Orchestra.[2]
His travels exposed him to a wide variety of performers including Bessie Smith, Blind Lemon Jefferson, and Alger "Texas" Alexander. Like his contemporary Frank Stokes, he was tired of the road and took a permanent job in 1922. His position as a street sweeper for the City of Memphis, a job he would hold until his retirement in 1966, allowed him to remain active in the Memphis music scene.[2]
In 1927, Lewis cut his first records in Chicago for the Vocalion label. A year later he recorded for the Victor label at the Memphis Auditorium in a session with the Memphis Jug Band, Jim Jackson, Frank Stokes, and others. He again recorded for Vocalion in Memphis in 1929.[2] The tracks were mostly blues but included two-part versions of "Casey Jones" and "John Henry". He sometimes fingerpicked, sometimes played with a slide.[3] He recorded many successful records in the late 1920s including "Kassie Jones", "Billy Lyons & Stack-O-Lee" and "Judge Harsh Blues" (later called "Good Morning Judge").
In 1969, Lewis was recorded by the record producer, Terry Manning, at home in Lewis' Fourth Street apartment near Beale Street. These recordings were released in Europe at the time by Barclay Records, and then again in the early 1990s by Lucky Seven Records in the United States, and again in 2006 by Universal. Joni Mitchell's song, "Furry Sings the Blues", (on her Hejira album) is about her visit to Furry Lewis' apartment and a mostly ruined Beale Street on February 5, 1976. Lewis despised the Mitchell song and demanded she pay him royalties.[4]
In 1972 he was the featured performer in the Memphis Blues Caravan, which included Bukka White, Sleepy John Estes, Clarence Nelson, Hammy Nixon, Memphis Piano Red, Sam Chatmon, and Mose Vinson.[citation needed]
Before he died, Lewis opened twice for The Rolling Stones, played on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, had a part in a Burt Reynolds movie, W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings (1975), and had a profile in Playboy magazine.[1][3]
Lewis began to lose his eyesight because of cataracts in his final years. He contracted pneumonia in 1981, which led to his death from heart failure in Memphis on September 14 of that year, at the age of 88.[5] He is buried in the Hollywood Cemetery in South Memphis, where his grave bears two headstones, the second purchased by fans.[4]

Crestron/IP control/MRV
Posted 02 April 2013 - 07:49 AM
I currently have a HR24 but would like to upgrade to multiple receivers for MRV. I'm looking at one for each TV so 8 units. I'm also having a Crestron system retrofitted into my house. I received a quote for $35,000 just for the DM video matrix. I figure using multiple receivers will be cheaper in the short & long run. I plan on centrally stacking all of the equipment. Crestron has an IP control driver for the HR24. I'll be using HDMI over IP adapters to get the signal to the TV. There will be a separate Crestron wireless subnet to get the remote control signals back to the equipment closet.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but if I had 8 HR24s (or 7 with a HR34/HR44) then all recordings would show up on the universal recording list and any receiver could access any program stored on a different DVR. Should I be using all HR24 or combo of HR24 & HR34/44, or something else?
My house has enterprise grade network equipment and multiple APs for wireless. I'd like to be able to use the internet DirecTV apps. With DECA and all, I'm having a hard time helping the installer plan everything out.
I'd love some suggestions

The main purpose of whole home is to allow the DVRs to send their recordings to any other HD DVR or H2x receiver. You can centralize all the equipment but your distribution system looks way overpriced and overkill.
7 or 8 HRs will produce a unified playlist. Tuner count is the critical part. A SWiM-16 can handle 16 tuners. Each HR2x has 2, a 34/44 has 5 tuners.

For example, if you decide you need 7 simultaneous recording tuners you could get a HR44 and a HR24. When you want to program a new recording you can connect to ANY H25, select the program to record and press the record button. You would then be prompted for the DVR where you want to schedule the recording. From a DVR you can ONLY schedule recordings on THAT DVR. In fact, you could have a HR24 and a HR44 (7 tuners) plus 8 H25s (one for each TV, for a total of 15 tuners) and NEVER actually watch either DVR directly. IOW, the DVRs would be servers only. You could have a local monitor in the equipment room for server management. The equipment cost would be a couple of hundred dollars less than 8 HR24s and far easier to manage.

HOPEWELL, Va. (WTVR)–A Virginia woman at the center of a hoax that grabbed headlines 26 years ago, has started paying restitution to the man she falsely accused of attacking her in New York when she was a teenager.
Last weekTawana Brawley sent 10 checks, for a total of $3,764, to Steven Pagones, after a Virginia judge ruled that the money be garnished from her salary as a nurse.
In 1987, 15-year-old Brawley accused a gang of white-men of abducting, raping and covering her with racial slurs written in feces.
Her story sparked national outrage, fueled racial tensions and gained the support of Reverend Al Sharpton and other civil right's leaders, including attorneys C. Vernon Mason and Alton Maddox.
The three men became Brawley's advisors and helped lead rallies in support of her.
They also pointed to a young New York prosecutor, Steven Pagones, as a suspect in the case.
However, a short-time later in 1988, a New York grand jury concluded Brawley's story was a hoax concocted by a scared teenager who didn't want to get into trouble with her step-father.
Pagones attorney, Gerry Bolnick, tells CBS 6 that the ordeal led to personal and professional heartache for Pagones and his family.
"Here's an innocent man who was dragged through the mud being accused of these horribly heinous acts," Bolnick says.
In 1998, Pagones won a defamation lawsuit against Brawley and her advisors.
Brawley was ordered to pay $190,000; Maddox was found liable for $97,000; Mason for $188,000; and Sharpton was told to pay $66,000.
While Maddox, Mason and Sharpton settled their debts in 2001, Bolnick says Brawley was nowhere to be found.
In 2012, the New York Post discovered Brawley is living in Virginia and working as a nurse at The Laurels of Bon Air in Richmond. With interest, Brawley now owes Pagones $431,000, which the court says Brawley must begin paying immediately.
Brawley, who now goes by the name Tawana Guitierrez, is living in Surry County and raising a daughter.
CBS 6 attempted to reach Brawley at her home Monday afternoon, but no one answered the door. A couple who approached the home, also refused to give a comment.
Brawley can appeal the judge's decision every six months.
Bolnick says Pagones is willing to forgive all of Brawley's debts if she apologizes and admits that she lied.
Pagones told the New York Post, "Every week, she'll think of me. And every week, she can think about how she has a way out- she can simply tell the truth."

EXCLUSIVE: Man Utd to be offered £10m Chelsea target Fabio Coentrao
MAN UNITED will be offered Real Madrid misfit Fabio Coentrao this summer.
United's top left-back target is Southampton's £30m-rated Luke Shaw but Coentrao, 26, is far cheaper at £10m.
Real have decided to sell the Portugal defender, who came close to joining United on loan last summer.
That move fell through but Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti will now let Coentrao go.
Chelsea were also chasing Coentrao but their interest has cooled following the good form of Cesar Azpilicueta.
United are also watching Coentrao's Portugal team-mate Carlos Mane. Sporting winger Mane, 20, has a £5m release clause.

Video:Scallops with Pancetta and Leekswith Chef John Mitzewich
The sweet and and savory leeks and pancetta make the perfect bed for the quickly seared scallops. Less is more with this very simple and delicious recipe.See Transcript
Transcript:Scallops with Pancetta and LeeksHello, I'm Chef John Mitzewich for About.com, and today we're making seared scallops with pancetta and leeks.
Prepare the ScallopsI'm going to do this as two appetizers. So I've got six sea scallops, and we're going to remove what's called the "foot." This is a tough square piece of muscle that holds the scallop to the shell. It's really easy to remove, you just peel it off.
Dice and Saute the PancettaWe also need 1 ounce of pancetta, which is called "Italian bacon." This is not a great definition, since bacon is smoked and pancetta is not. So we're going to dice that up. It's actually more like a prosciutto than bacon.
In a sauté pan on medium, we're going to slowly sauté that in one tablespoon of olive oil.
Wash and Dice the LeeksWhile that's happening, we're going to take two leeks. I trimmed those right where the stalks started, and I'm going to make two vertical cuts in the top. And you can see how that lets you separate the leaves.
That lets you wash it thoroughly, since there can be grit and sand in there. So make sure you wash it really thoroughly before you dice it up.
Saute the LeeksBy then the pancetta should be getting close. We want to get that not quite brown and crisp, but almost. We're going to remove it and reserve that oil.
In the pan we're going to add a tablespoon of butter. We're going to throw in the leeks, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne. Then we're going to sauté that on medium until it's soft and sweet.
When you check, taste the darker green pieces, which tend to be tougher and more fibrous. When those are soft and sweet, add the pancetta and cook for 2 minutes.
Remove and reserve it covered in foil to keep it warm.
Sear the ScallopsWe're going to need the juice of half a lemon. Season your scallops with salt on both sides. In a very hot sauté pan, add 1 teaspoon of the pancetta oil, and we're going to sear the scallops for 3-4 minutes per side on really high heat.
If you don't use high heat, the scallops will just boil and you're not going to get that beautifully caramelized crust. This is super important so don't worry if the pan smokes a little. Cook on super high.
Combine the Butter and Lemon JuiceWhen those are done, remove and turn off the heat. Add a tbsp of cold butter, the lemon juice and 2 tbsp of cold water. We want to be able to spoon that over, and if you don't add the water it will get to thick.
Serve the Scallops With Leeks and PancettaThen we are ready to serve this unbelievably delicious dish. Put your leek and pancetta mixture in on the bottom, top with three of the scallops, a spoon of that lemon butter over the top. It's an unbelievably delicious dish.
You can double this if you want to do an entrée size. This is where the chef just gets out of the way of the ingredients, and they really shine through.
Such a simple preparation, and so delicious. I hope you give it a try. Enjoy. Thanks for watching. To learn more, visit us on the Web at food.about.com.

"Stop pointing fingers and placing blame on others. Your life can only change to the degree that you accept responsibility for it."
"Getting blamed can be a compliment- it means you've got some influence. You've got to have some power in you to be awarded blame. In ancient Greece, people blamed the gods."
"No Blame: The most liberating & empowering day of my life was the day I freed myself from my own self-destructive nonsense."
"Your complaints, your drama, your victim mentality, your whining, your blaming, and all of your excuses have NEVER gotten you even a single step closer to your goals or dreams. Let go of your nonsense. Let go of the delusion that you DESERVE better and go EARN it! Today is a new day!"
"We may place blame, give reasons, and even have excuses; but in the end, it is an act of cowardice to not follow your dreams."
"I think I'm more sorry for not being thankful than for being the black sheep. Because it's solely my fault why I'm not counting my blessings.. But for being the disgrace, it's still me to blame...partially."
"Once you take responsibility for what is happening in your life, your view of things change. You don't blame others anymore because you know you did it, no matter what the situation may be!"
"It strikes me that when we feel helpless, we seek to find a reason, someone or something to blame, because somehow it gives us the illusion that we can control and fix things in the future."

What would you recommend to partners working on specializations?
This is a question for partners who have already achieved one or more specializations. What do you recommend to those partners who aren't yet specialized? In your experience, what's the best way to start? Which tools did you find helpful (or not)?
Comments 6 Comments • Jump to latest comment
There are some 9 specialization types. Depending on your business focus and expertise, you may like to refer to the PartnerNet that spells more details on the types, focus and benefits.
Tools towards specialization, I find the latest version Pathways to Enablement v2.0 to be quite informative as it provides partner a pathway how to achieve these specializations.
This is also posted in the PartnerNet
Thanks, Auntyasher! Certainly our partners can find lots of relevant info on PartnerNet. I'm hoping to hear from partners to understand what they've found useful out of all the materials we make available.

On more than 1 year experience in this area I have to say that getting STS certified is the main challenge.
To start with the STS certification:
- Determine the product line you want to focus on
- Contact your local distributor and ask them for help (they might have a lab available for training)
- Don't be shy to ask questions for your local Symantec representative.
- Use Entsupport for technical documentation and Connect for specific questions (experienced tech pros density is high here)
- Invest in training (at least try to pass the exam - the price is not so high, but you will know what areas lack knowledge).
If possible, get access to E-Books, and use PartnerNet free online trainings (they are good) and install Symantec Enablement toolkit.
In my company, we designed a roadmap to develop and reach each specialization (currently, we hold five specializations - Enterprise Security, Endpoint Management, Archive and eDiscovery, SMB and DLP). In fact, STS is the main challenge.
Our roadmap, is very close to the Action Plan suggested here by Volo.
SMB Specialization is a fantastic first start for all partners large and small. At least for North America. I do not know if the same benefits apply to other countries.
STS is imperative for ALL deployment engineers. It doesn't take a year of experience though IMO. However, it does take almost that amount of time to amass the needed knowledge to pass the tests. If however you've been installing and setting up a particular product for a number of years, you may be able to pass already! I know I was able to pass a few on the first try only because I've deployed them many a time already.
After that, look into the support cert, which I think requires at least the SMB tract to be completed. This way as an engineer, they can call into Tier 2 support with their own support ID number, and not the customer's.
There is an online portal, save yourself the long hold times. Create ticket online, then call in with ticket # in hand :-) http://mysupport.symantec.com "We backup data to restore, we don't backup data just to back it up."

Army Manual Outlines Plan to Confiscate Firearms, Detain Americans
Posted By yihan On July 7, 2012 @ 5:25 am In Featured Stories,Old Infowars Posts Style,Police State,Tile | Comments Disabled
Saturday, July 7, 2012
A newly leaked US Army Military Police training manual for "Civil Disturbance Operations" outlines how military assets are to be used domestically to quell riots, confiscate firearms and even kill Americans on U.S. soil during mass civil unrest.
The document (PDF), which is dated 2006 and was used for a self-learning course at the U.S. Army Military Police School at Fort McClellan, makes it clear that the operations described in the manual apply to both "CONUS and OCONUS," meaning inside the Continental United States and outside the Continental United States.

The Berquists met Mary in Marion, Iowa, and attended a Genesis show. "We thought it was really awesome," says Joan.
Joan keeps a close watch when Elizabeth is being fitted with a new wardrobe. "We're very conservative," she explains.
Joan admits she's concerned about food issues and modeling, but since Elizabeth has been pursuing the idea, she says, "She's given up pop and junk food. In many ways, this is good for my daughter. She's not eating crap; she's eating nutritious stuff."
Joan betrays anxiety over the whole situation: "It's a matter of how hard Elizabeth wants to pursue it. I really don't know what to expect if they get signed. I'm not in my comfort zone, but then I used to be like that with ballet: You go where your kids go."
But Joan isn't too sure how far she and her husband can afford to go. Later in the weekend, when an agent tells the girls about the importance of finding part-time work -- they're not going to live off modeling earnings for a while -- Joan says it is the best advice she's heard. She hopes her daughter hears it, too.
Out on the runway, another blonde sways out from behind the partition like an expert driver accelerating on a curve.
Some of the clothes have yet to be pinned, so the girls must hold them together as they walk before something embarrassing happens.
A call goes out: "Has anybody got any black hotpants?"
Sherri Evans and Julie Bliss sit together in the warm morning sunlight coming in the east windows. Their daughters -- Aubrey and Amanda, respectively -- are both "pros," laughs Julie. Both mothers are of that obviously Scandinavian strain of Iowan that seems to produce models.
Aubrey is tall, slender and remarkably pale, with long wheat-blond hair. "Mary found my daughter in a drugstore when she was 12," recalls Sherri.
She still doesn't know what Mary saw in her daughter, all wet and tired from a swim meet, but since turning 16, Aubrey has appeared in Seventeen and worked in runway shows in New York and Italy.
"She was a very shy person before this," says Sherri. "The work has given her confidence and self-esteem. Mary and Jeff are wonderful. They encourage kids to be drug-free, alcohol-free. I like that they add a mothering aspect to their work.
"If we stopped today, we'd be happy."
But there's not much of a chance the Evans family will be stopping today. The apartments the agencies provide in New York and Milan and Rome are not rent-free. Debts accrue. The agencies make an investment and expect a return.
Mary stops the rehearsal. She's pissed. She gathers the kids together for a rant.
"Give me your all today," she barks. "Stay focused. Be here. Be positive."
She pauses, looks over the now-silent teenagers: "You guys all have to change again, and I don't want to hear anybody complain. Wardrobe fees need to be paid. Nobody sees an agent until that is paid."
She hits what is obviously a sore spot with her. "No editorial comment about how your hair is done or what you're wearing -- and that includes parents," she admonishes. "We know what we're doing. Trust me and be there for us.
"Whoo," she sighs, and the tension goes out of the room. "I feel like my mom's talking to me."
As Mary goes over the music list -- "Vehicle," "Renegades of Funk," "Ode to Billy Joe," "Somebody to Love" -- Julie says the rant is typical at this stage of the day: "I've never seen a problem with the show."
This is the third Genesis event for Amanda. She and her mother have been to New York twice and have signed with Tony Perkins at Next. Amanda has frail, waifish features and reddish-brown hair. "We've gotten some traveling out of it," her mother says.
The Iowa moms laugh about their experiences with New York rats, New York mice and New York roaches. "For Aubrey," says Sherri Evans, "the hardest thing for her was seeing people sleeping in the streets and people begging on the subway."
Both mothers stop to listen as Mary calls out some directives. "Mary is giving orders," says Sherri. "That's a good sign."
The agents arrive and sit down at round dining tables in the Genesis office, on the sixth floor. They begin filling up on spaghetti, chili, fried chicken, green salad and a wide assortment of cookies.
Mary interrupts the luncheon chatter to say a few words, and a couple of the agents chuckle at the idea of Mary speaking just a few words.
She talks about how ever since she and Jeff came to St. Louis they've heard radio ads calling for models "ages three to 70. The challenge is that here, everyone knows about modeling scams. It's been harder to gain trust here."
Then she announces that this will be Genesis' last event: "We're not going to give another one."
The jovial air in the room stills. "No more events," says Mary, "but we're not stopping. We're working on a video to tell the truth about what should and shouldn't be happening in the industry. Our new goals are to create the video, sell it over the Web site, speak in schools.

2.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't play well with Ubuntu,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wireless Multimedia Mini Bluetooth Keyboard for HTPC Sony PS3 Laptops Computers Supports Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/Vista/Mac OS 10.2.8
I bought this to use with my Ubuntu Maverick HTPC, but it doesn't work well. When turned off or when left on for a long time, it needs to be re-paired before it will work again. The Bluetooth menu's "connect" option doesn't do the trick, and even if it did, I still wouldn't be able to use this as my sole input device. It needs to just stay connected. My Bluetooth mouse behaves fine with Ubuntu, and this needs to be the same.
It seems to work better with Windows, but for me that's not a saving grace. I am tempted to return it and get the non-Bluetooth version, because I expect that will behave like a normal USB device.
Some details on the product itself:
It is the bluetooth version of the Rii keyboard. Says so on the box.
It comes with a USB bluetooth adaptor that can be stored in a slot the keyboard. This is different from the competing Logitech diNovo Mini. The diNovo is also a bluetooth keyboard/touchpad, but its adaptor makes it look like a standard USB device. This allows it to work in contexts that bluetooth cannot, e.g. when changing BIOS settings.
The adaptor also seemed to have a limited range. When I switched to my own USB Bluetooth adaptor, the range seemed to get much better.
The keyboard layout is mostly an improvement over the diNovo, providing standard keys, symbols, and arrow keys without using the special Fn key. Only PageUp, PageDown, Del, multimedia keys, and other special keys require Fn. It even includes "~", "|" and F1-F8, which are omitted or hidden on the diNovo. However, Shift, Ctrl and Alt are only provided on the left side, making it harder to use modified keys on the lefthand side of the keyboard.
It would be nice to be able to swap the multimedia and function keys (as supported by my Dell XPS laptop), so that Play, fast-forward, volume etc. did not require Fn. For an HTPC, those keys are more important than F1-F8.
Both mouse button 1 and 2 are provided, but they are under the touchpad, making drag-and-drop unnecessarily hard. It is also hard to double-click. If you double-click with the mouse button, you must move your left thumb over to the right-hand side of the keyboard. If you double-tap on the touchpad, it may not work, because your OS may see movement (it's a very sensitive touchpad). I think the mouse buttons should be on the lefthand side of the keyboard, as with the diNovo. There's a Bluetooth pairing button, but that ought to be a rarely-used function, so it would be nice to see that space given to something more useful like mouse buttons.
The device charges via USB, which is a definite advantage, but it would be nicer if it had a micro USB port instead of a mini USB port. The micro port has been standardised for charging in the EU, and I already have two USB micro chargers. USB micro is also used by my Nexus One phone, Western Digital external hard drive, and dearly departed Plantronics Voyager Bluetooth headset.
It comes with a unique USB Y cable for charging, in which one end is a USB mini jack, and the other end is a USB socket. This means that you don't lose a USB port when you charge the keyboard.
It would be nice if the laser worked even when main power was off, but I don't expect to use the laser much anyway. I don't make presentations very often, and I don't have a cat to exercise.

WAGGGS on Say NO UNiTE panel for Stop the Violence
Este texto no ha sido traducido todavía
27 Agosto 2014
In July 2012 the Secretary-General's UNiTE to End Violence against Women campaign proclaimed every 25th of the month as #OrangeDay to highlight issues relevant to preventing and ending violence against women and girls. In addition to #OrangeDay, UN Women is focusing on girls and young women this month as part of the year-long #Beijing20 campaign.
Combining the two initiatives, Say NO UNiTE organised a Twitter chat on Monday 25 of August, with panelists Together for Girls (@together4girls) and the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (@wagggs_world), where we discussed our Stop the Violence campaign - http://www.stoptheviolencecampaign.com/en/home.
To view the full conversation please visit the Storify - https://storify.com/SayNO_UNiTE/twitter-q-and-a-on-ending-violence-against-girls, and some of the questions with our answers are below.
What are some root causes of violence against girls?
- Gender inequality is THE root cause – the low position of girls and women in communities and society means they are not given equal power or decision-making
- Double discrimination of being young and being female means girls are uniquely at risk of violence
- Violence is used to make girls conform to set gender stereotypes and roles and, in turn, these stereotypes reinforce girls' lower position in society, leading to a cycle of violence
- - Violence against women and girls is a manifestation of historically unequal power relations between men and women, with men exerting dominance over girls and women
- Objectification of girls, especially in the media, divorces them of emotions and turns them into sex objects, which makes it very easy to forget they are human beings
What do you think are the major obstacles to ending violence against girls?
- Culture of acceptance and silence. Violence is often considered to be a private matter.
- A lack of political will and commitment at the highest levels to make it a priority locally, nationally, regionally and internationally…
- This includes, but is not limited to, legislation, national plans of action and adequate resource allocation. WAGGGS' Stop the Violence campaign lobbies for these commitments!
- Violence against girls needs to be recognised as a human rights violation, and a form of gendered discrimination, so states can be held accountable for not taking action
- The presence of discriminatory social norms and attitudes that reinforce girls' subordinate position in society
- The impunity of perpetrators is a huge problem as it normalises the presence of violence against girls in society. More needs to be done to ensure perpetrators are punished and victims/survivors feel confident in coming forward and/or recognising violence.
What can citizens of the world do to help end violence against girls?
- Be aware of gender stereotypes and inequalities in our own lives and recognise own behaviour that reinforces these
- Position boys and men as allies. Gender stereotypes and an unhealthy version of masculinity prevent boys and men from being their true selves too.
- Raise awareness of violence against girls with family and friends. Bust the myths about why it happens and who is to blame.Add your voice to WAGGGS' Stop the Violence campaign: www.stoptheviolencecampaign.com

USCM Best Practice Report In March 2003, Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino, the President of the Conference, invited mayors to submit information on individual efforts they felt had contributed, or were continuing to contribute, to the economic self-sufficiency of working families in their cities. Among the kinds of "best practices" sought were those which:
Improve job access and quality employment for residents of under-employed neighborhoods;
Reward and reinforce the work effort of welfare-to-work and other low-income working families;
Increase the savings, assets, financial sophistication and ultimately the wealth of low-income families;
Strengthen the community services and institutions that are most critical to working families.
