Wooing worshippers
When it comes to faithfulness to the home church, neither candidate is a party man-but Kerry must grab religious voters to win
If the latest poll is right, John Kerry may not have a prayer.
In a Sept. 27 survey of 969 registered voters, 60 percent of respondents said George W. Bush is a man of strong religious faith, compared to just 18 percent for John Kerry. Should that be troubling to the Democratic nominee? The same Washington Post/ABC News poll found that 7 percent of voters named "strong religious faith" as the single most important character trait for a candidate-more important than qualities such as "honest and trustworthy" or "strong leadership."
Democrats are scrambling to appeal to that 7 percent, plus the many more who consider religious faith one important trait among others. In his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention, Sen. Kerry insisted his party welcomed "people of faith" and added, "I don't wear my own faith on my sleeve. But faith has given me values and hope to live by, from Vietnam to this day."
Sen. Kerry is sprinkling his speeches-and even his ads-with religious references. A search of the speeches section of the official John Kerry for President website shows 81 references to God. (Example: "Our responsibility as Americans is to protect and preserve God's gift to humankind.") A major television ad buy in July included the senator's musings about faith and war. "In Vietnam I think most of the time I wore a rosary around my neck when we went into battle," he said. "So I believe. I still believe."
Sen. Kerry is the first Roman Catholic presidential nominee of a major party since 1960, but polls show he is no more popular with Catholics than Al Gore was, even though Mr. Gore was a former Southern Baptist seminarian. That's hurting Sen. Kerry's chances in a number of swing states-Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, and New Hampshire, for instance-where Catholics make up more than a quarter of the population.
Trying to increase his standing among Catholics, the Kerry campaign let it be known that the senator carries a rosary and a prayer book with him on the campaign trail, and has reporters tag along with the nominee for Sunday Mass. In July, the Democrats even named their first-ever director of religious outreach, charged with nurturing support among "faith communities." But, just days after she was named with great fanfare as the DNC's religious outreach director, Rev. Brenda Bartella Peterson, a Disciples of Christ minister, was forced to resign when party officials learned she had supported removing the phrase "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance.
The push for more deity among the Democrats came largely from Mike McCurry, a former Clinton spokesman who warned the Kerry campaign against ignoring the growing "God gap" among voters. Despite the party's secularist base, Mr. McCurry told Sen. Kerry he had to address issues of faith or risk accusations that he was outside America's religious mainstream. That message was "met with discomfort by some party leaders," Mr. McCurry admitted to WNET-TV shortly before joining the Kerry campaign as a top adviser. He also said that for his candidate "it's just not a natural thing to talk about a faith life, even though in the case of Sen. Kerry, he happens to be a particularly faithful person."
If Sen. Kerry's religious expressions sometimes seem awkward and forced, Mr. Bush's appear as natural and instinctive as draping an arm around the neck of a weary firefighter at Ground Zero. His off-the-cuff religious references-in contrast to Sen. Kerry's heavily scripted allusions-may help to explain why white evangelical Protestants prefer the president over his challenger by a margin of 74 percent to 18 percent. According to a Pew Research poll released Sept. 28, even among Catholics Mr. Bush leads by 10 percentage points.
The numbers are not promising for Mr. Bush among African-American evangelicals, who tend to be liberal on economic issues. But the president has received support from prominent black pastors such as Tony Evans of Dallas, Kirbyjon Caldwell of Houston, and Herb Lusk of Philadelphia.
Ironically, Mr. Bush receives substantial criticism from leaders of his own denomination, the United Methodist Church. "Having a United Methodist in office does not mean the president's policies will reflect those of the church," sniffed the United Methodist News Service shortly after Mr. Bush's election in 2000. Since then the denomination has officially opposed its most powerful member on issues ranging from capital punishment to abortion to school vouchers.
Within a famously diverse denomination, Mr. Bush's home churches are not known for being on the right end of the spectrum. The Highland Park United Methodist Church in Dallas, where Mr. Bush worshipped and taught Sunday school before moving to Austin, is not "a particularly evangelical church," according to Mark Tooley, director of United Methodist Action, one of the groups seeking to reform the denomination. With well over 5,000 members, "the congregation includes liberals and conservatives-corporate executives and liberal members of the [Southern Methodist University] faculty."
As for the smaller Tarrytown United Methodist Church in Austin, where the president worshipped during his years as governor, "By the standards of Texas Methodism it would be moderate," Mr. Tooley said.
Conservative evangelical leaders like Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention acknowledge that, while they consider the president one of their own, his church background has left him with some questionable beliefs, including suggestions that Christians and Muslims worship the same God.
"We must remember President Bush is Commander in Chief, not Theologian in Chief," says Mr. Land, who heads the SBC's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission. "He is a man of strong religious faith, he has been going to Methodist churches for 20 years. How good can his theology be? I mean, just what is the theology of modern Methodism? It's like trying to nail Jell-O to a tree."
Still, Mr. Land says, the president's political beliefs are strongly shaped by religious beliefs that are anathema to most Methodist leaders. He regularly turns for advice to prominent evangelicals such as Franklin Graham and Tony Evans rather than the hierarchy of his own church. "This president is a thoroughgoing evangelical himself, and there are a lot more thoroughgoing evangelicals around him. Let me draw a contrast: In the Reagan administration, there were a lot of people around him to keep Reagan from being himself. There are no such people in significant roles in the Bush administration."
In his own way, Sen. Kerry, too, bucks the leadership of a church that frowns on some of his beliefs. When some parish priests across the country announced this summer they would not serve communion to politicians who supported abortion, Sen. Kerry simply stopped attending Mass many Sundays on the road. At his nominating convention in Boston, he broke with tradition by refusing to invite the local archbishop to give an invocation.
Sen. Kerry passed over Sean P. O'Malley, Boston's outspokenly pro-life archbishop. Instead, Sen. Kerry's far more liberal priest, John Ardis of the Paulist Center, a largely autonomous congregation operated by the Paulist Fathers, gave the benediction that closed the convention. Sensitive to controversy over Sen. Kerry's pro-abortion stance, his priest offered a prayer to the candidate's liking. "Help us to seek unity in diversity; give us the courage to embrace each person as our neighbor, regardless of gender, race, or ethnic origin, regardless of sexual orientation, religious tradition, or age. . . . Give counsel to world leaders so they may never again declare an unjust war."
Besides, perhaps, the simple fact that he is allowed to take communion there, Sen. Kerry attends the Paulist Center because "he aligns himself with the social justice aspects of our ministry which we've become well known for," Mr. Ardis says.
James Carroll, a Boston Globe columnist who has often attended Mass with John Kerry, wrote on Sept. 28 that "across the years I have observed the senator at prayer, and I have some sense of the seriousness he brings to his devotion." The columnist claimed that Sen. Kerry's positions "mark him not as a renegade Catholic" but as one among "Catholics who understand that moral theology is not a fixed set of answers given once and for all . . . but an ongoing quest for truths that remain elusive. In the area of sexuality, for example, from which so many hot-button issues arise, it is clear that the human race is undergoing a massive cultural mutation, posing excruciating problems that human beings have never faced before."
In other words, Sen. Kerry seeks a respite from the socially conservative teaching he might get at his local parish church. "The Paulist order tends to be very liberal, and the Paulist Center in Boston tends to represent about as far to the left as you can go and still call yourself a Catholic," says Phillip Lawler, editor of the conservative Catholic World Report. "It's sort of a halfway house for lapsed Catholics."
Sen. Kerry may not be lapsed, but he doesn't appear very faithful to millions of pro-life, pro-family Catholics. Mr. Bush, meanwhile, espouses social views that endear him to many conservative Catholics while alienating many liberal Protestants. The denominational politics that influenced the Kennedy election in 1960 seem long gone. More influential now is the divide between those with faith in a fixed theological constitution (although believers differ about specific interpretations and ways to arrive at them) and those who believe that social changes over the centuries make ancient teaching less important than contemporary "progressive" thought.

|Lady Dragons earn third-seed for regionals in Yuma
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
With seeding for the regional tournament on the line, the Lady Dragons volleyball team traveled to Yuma to face the Lady Indians and the Akron Lady Rams Friday, Oct. 25.
Holyoke was unable to put together an upset as the Lady Dragons dropped both matches. With the losses, HHS earned the third seed in the Region F tournament with Yuma and Lyons. Yuma captured the top seed and Lyons earned the second seed.
Before the opening serve of the first set with Yuma, HHS suffered a setback as Jentry Andersen had to be taken to the emergency room due to illness. Although Andersen had to spend the night at the Yuma District Hospital, she has been cleared to go Friday night for regional tournament play.
Holyoke, who has had troubles with Yuma this season, came out strong in the opening set. The two teams exchanged points until late in the match when the hard-hitting Yuma team pulled away.
As the first set played out, coach Vieselmeyer said the team had troubles adjusting to the last-minute lineup change and backed off of the attack. Yuma took advantage of free balls sent over the net as they overpowered HHS for the 25-18 Lady Indian victory in the first set.

Sweeney Goes on D.L.; Butler Recalled
Just in…
Today, we placed Mike Sweeney on the 15-day disabled list with right knee inflammation and, to fill his place on the roster, Billy Butler has been recalled from Triple-A Omaha and will be in uniform for tonight's game in St. Louis.
Unfortunately, Butler, who has been up here already for a short stint, might not see much action since we are playing in National League ballparks this week. However, if Shealy needs a rest, Butler will be there to man first base and he'll be a nice bat to have off the bench in a pinch-hit situation.
1 Comment
Sorry to hear Mike is on the DL. Tonight's game should be interesting..I feel that Bell should switch some things up with Scott E. pitching tonight. Maybe give a couple guys a rest and have some of the "younger" guys play. If I was to make a lineup just for today it would be..

24th Annual Mopar Nationals - Coming HomeWritten by on February 1, 2005 24th Annual Mopar Nationals
In an environment dominated by the hostile General Motors and his Brand-X troops, going to the Mopar Nationals is like taking refuge in a fortress, a safe haven, or comfort zone-kinda' like coming home.
Blessed with the best weather to ever grace a Mopar Nationals weekend (August 13-15), this 24th annual event held at National Trail Raceway, Columbus, Ohio, broke all previous attendance records and featured more than 3,000 cars, nearly 1,900 vendors, and close to 60,000 spectators. Chrysler enthusiasts from the four corners of the globe made the trek from all over the US, Norway, Canada, Australia, England, Germany . . . which should tell you something about the quality of this event. This year's Nats paid tribute to the Dodge Charger, always a stylistic innovator in a sea of brick-like automobiles, with many fine examples from every year of production, including the little L-body. As always, the Mopar Nationals provided something for everyone-from the judged car show, to the swap meet, F.A.S.T. class race, Manufacturers Midway, model car contest, car corral, matchbox car race (for the little Mopar enthusiasts), and loads of drag racing. Next year's 25th annual event, to be held August 12th through 14th, will pay homage to the mighty Road Runner-the original low-buck, everyman's musclecar. If you want more info, simply log onto www.moparnats.com.
What can we say about the Mopar Nationals that hasn't been said 24 times before? If you are a true Mopar aficionado, then there are no excuses not to attend this event. Besides, what's better than going home?

May calmer minds prevail on port strike issue
January 10, 2013 - LM Editorial
A diverse coalition of over 120 local, state and national stakeholders, ranging from farmers and manufacturers to retailers and wholesalers – representing the totality of the global supply chain – sent a letter today to the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) and United States Maritime Alliance, Ltd. (USMX) urging both sides to remain at the negotiating table until they "reach a new long-term contract."
As reported in Logistics Management, on December 28, 2012 – the day before a planned coast-wide port strike – the ILA and USMX agreed to extend their contract negotiations until Wednesday, February 6, 2013. The two sides are scheduled to meet again next week to continue negotiations on the coast-wide contract. Unfortunately though, the ILA recently walked away from local talks impacting the Port of New York and New Jersey. It is not known what impact that local action will have on next week's negotiations.
The labor contract being negotiated covers container port operations at 14 East and Gulf Coast ports – stretching from Maine to Texas – including Boston; New York and New Jersey; Delaware River (Philadelphia); Baltimore; Hampton Roads, Va. (Norfolk); Wilmington, N.C.; Charleston, S.C.; Savannah, Ga.; Jacksonville, Fla.; Port Everglades/Miami, Fla.; Tampa, Fla.; Mobile, Ala.; New Orleans and Houston.
The National Retail Federation – the world's largest retail trade association – organized the letter, which was also signed by the American Apparel & Footwear Association, American Meat Institute, International Wood Products Association, National Association of Manufacturers, Waterfront Coalition, U.S Chamber of Commerce and others.
We agree with the coalition on the need for the two sides to reach a long-term contract agreement without causing disruptions to the nation's supply chain. May calmer minds prevail.

Since 1960, weather satellites have not only enabled those in the path of hurricanes to evacuate safely, they have provided large amounts of data about our planet and climate. Satellites can even tell us the sea surface temperature to within one degree Celsius.
The first weather satellite, VANGUARD 2, was launched on February 17, 1959 with unsuccessful results. The first satellite to be considered a success was TIROS-1, launched by NASA on April 1, 1960. 50 years of advancements have now led to a network of American, European, Japanese and Russian satellites orbiting the earth in various configurations to provide real time monitoring of our environment.
Satellites orbit the earth in two different ways. Geostationary (GOES) satellites orbit the earth over the equator at an altitude of 22 thousand miles. Because of this orbit altitude, they remain stationary with respect to the rotating earth. GOES Satellites are what we use on the weather cast each night.
Polar Orbiting Satellites are the main source for environmental data for the 80% of the globe that is not covered by conventional monitoring equipment.
These satellites make measurements of temperature and humidity in the Earth's atmosphere, record surface ground and sea water temperatures, and monitor cloud cover and water/ice boundries. Polar orbiting satellites have orbits that cross very close to the poles on each revolution of the earth.
At an altitude of 500 miles, the sensors scan the entire surface of the earth over a 24-hour period. Polar satellites orbit in a North-South path in a sun-synchronous orbit, which means they move with the same general lighting conditions to a near-constant local solar time.
These satellites offer a much better resolution than their GOES counterparts due to their closeness to the earth.
There are two types of images or channels satellites use.
The Visible Spectrum
Visible light images during local daylight hours show clouds and land from the light of the sun. In other words, it's what you would see if you were looking down on the sunlit earth from 22 thousand miles at space.
The Infrared Spectrum
This is how we see clouds at night. Infrared technology shows us the clouds based on temperature. Sensors called scanning radiometers enable operators to determine cloud heights and types, calculate land and surface water temperatures.
The greatest advantage of having a GOES satellite with both visible and infrared capability is that weather systems can be monitored both day and night at 30 minute intervals. Satellite loops or movies are an animation of as many single images as needed.

Hands down, the five members of Meshuggah are the unsung heroes of contemporary musical composition. Since forming in 1987, the band has become an irrevocable driving force behind extreme metal. And while their contributions are well recognized within their genre, they are one of the most important forces of ingenuity across all musical traditions regardless of personal taste.
Meshuggah has long since carved a niche for itself through a ceaselessly progressive approach to music. The band often experiments with insanely complicated polyrhythms and alternate tunings on custom-built eight-string guitars in an effort to keep their work untainted by convention. Yet while their music is technically complex, the creative drive is focused rather on writing songs that bring the listener outside of his or herself. In an interview, Mårten Hagström elaborates, "it doesn't matter if something is hard to play or not. The thing is, what does it do to your mind when you listen to it? Where does it take you?"
Perhaps it is because they don't entertain a mainstream audience that the progressive character of the band has been unwavering throughout the last 25 years. In lieu of worrying about sales, the core focus of the band lies in exploration – not only of each member's creative capacity, but also the limits of what we define as music.
If you're feeling adventuresome, check out the video below of their live 2010 performance of "Perpetual Black Second" in Tokyo and be sure to track down their recently-released LP entitled "Koloss."

it's actually very nice!
Some observations:
-the water border, i think it's to straight if you know what i mean. maybe distort it a bit.
-blur the borders of diffrent textures.
-i like the hills but i've noticed the rest of the terrain to be very flat. maybe distort that flat land too?
just my few cents. the place is very cozy and i woulnd't mind playing a video game with such location.
Thank you, Irbis.

|Home storage problems solved
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
What homeowner has not lamented that they have many more belongings than they have storage space? In some homes, particularly in older homes, closet space and other areas to store items may be lacking. Apartment dwellers often find they're lacking in storage space as well. But savvy homeowners can find both permanent and temporary solutions to their home storage problems.
One of the easiest ways to create storage space is to simply remove some belongings from the residence. Go through closets around the house and pick through the attic and/or garage to see if there are any items that can be discarded or donated. Items that are broken can be discarded, while those things that still have utility can be donated or sold.
The next step is to maximize the space of the existing closets. Many closets are equipped with just a shelf and a clothing rack, greatly limiting the storage potential. Investing in a closet organization system is one way to transform a poorly utilized space. These systems can be purchased, often inexpensively, from a home improvement center.

Beyond Jail
This week, Rep. Robert Scott (D-Va.), Dr. Iva Carruthers, our colleagues from state and local government and other concerned people from our community participated in a public forum at the University of Baltimore. It was entitled "Beyond Jail: Toward Justice and Opportunity in Baltimore."
Our primary objective during the "Beyond Jail" forum was to examine and document the alternatives to secure detention for young people who have become caught up in Baltimore's juvenile justice system, the adult justice system or both.
Our shared priorities were crystal clear.
We were not considering returning dangerous offenders to our streets. Public safety must remain our foremost concern – and the public's safety requires the detention of those young people who, objectively, are determined to be threats.
However, from the data presented at our forum, we now know that most of the detention that is actually imposed within Baltimore's juvenile justice system has not been the result of evidence-based, objective assessments of danger.
I helped to convene this public forum, but my main purpose was to learn. I was trying to understand an apparent paradox that we need to address as a community.
The number of young people arrested during the last decade has decreased by 46 percent. That is good news – and an encouraging trend.
Then why, I asked myself, does Maryland continue to struggle with the challenge of responding appropriately to those young people who do become the responsibility of our juvenile justice system?
Part of the answer to my question is now being revealed. At least in some aspects, we have been responding to our young people in ways that are counterproductive.
As a 2012 "Doors to Detention" Study, discussed at our forum, confirmed, most of Baltimore's juvenile detention placements have been the result of offenses that did not involve violence. Detention has been driven more often by the "policies and practices" of the system, rather than by public safety risks.
Viewing these facts, there are those who could conclude that the disproportionately black population being jailed in Baltimore's juvenile system–as well as in our nation's prisons as a whole–is evidence of a "new Jim Crow." Neither Congressman Scott nor I would seriously argue with that perception.
Nevertheless, acknowledging the inequities in the current system does not automatically determine the best response where the public's safety is concerned–and that is true both for our society and for the young people involved.
We know that detention of young people for reasons that are not crimes of violence is extraordinarily expensive. We also know, moreover, that there is scant evidence that paying now for excessive juvenile detention deters future crime.
For the sake of public safety, our public treasury and, most important of all, the future of our young people, we must do better.
I am convinced that we can.
To their credit, the O'Malley-Brown administration (and, especially, Maryland's Juvenile Services Secretary, Sam Abed, and his staff) have demonstrated a willingness to develop alternatives to detention for non-violent juveniles.
Secretary Abed has consistently argued that many of the non-violent young people under DJS jurisdiction could be better served by alternative placements. He notes, as examples, home detention supplemented by GPS monitoring, home visits by DJS staffers, daily and evening reporting requirements, and smaller, community-based treatment programs.
With respect to juveniles charged as adults, we now are witnessing this support for reform taking concrete form.
Last January, Maryland's public safety officials announced an alternative to the mammoth and expensive juvenile jail plans that the state had previously proposed (the initial proposal that had caused so much public concern).
Rather than a new jail, the state now is envisioning a "regional treatment facility" for those juveniles under the jurisdiction of the adult system. In addition, for young people charged as adults, the state's alternative plan encompasses the development of a designated 60-cell unit inside the adult system's current Baltimore City complex.
That unit will be charged with providing those young people with "health, mental health services, treatment programming, education and vocational training infrastructure, and recreational space."
These are important initial steps–and now we should build upon these reforms.
Now, we should expand the use of alternatives to detention for non-violent young people within the state's juvenile justice system as well.
We all have a stake in assuring that these alternatives receive the resources that they need to succeed. We can build upon existing state initiatives to shift resources from unnecessary and often counterproductive detention practices toward community-based alternatives that better serve us all.
Maryland can become a national leader in choosing opportunity over disproportionate incarceration where our young people are concerned. We can better protect the public, better serve young people who have lost their way, and save substantial amounts of taxpayer funds in the process.
Whether these benefits will be achieved depends upon widespread public understanding and support.
Now is the time for Baltimore and Maryland to move "Beyond Jail."
Congressman Elijah Cummings represents Maryland's Seventh Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Multiple government agencies are inspecting the same lab sites that work with hazardous materials like anthrax, an unnecessary overlap that wastes the government money as it faces budget cuts brought about by sequestration, a federal watchdog warns.
While regular safety checks are encouraged on laboratories studying so-called select agents – usually materials like anthrax, the new report questions whether the Defense, Agriculture, Transportation, Homeland Security and Health and Human Services Departments all need to conduct their own inspections.
"Inspections are important for safety and compliance and can help improve laboratory procedures, infrastructure, and security," said the Government Accountability Office, Congress' watchdog agency. "However, the value of inspections may be diminished when federal agencies are expending resources to conduct the same or similar work and burdening entities with overlapping or duplicative inspections."
The GAO said it is difficult to quantify just how much money is being wasted because of the overlap, but said that each inspection costs roughly $15,000.
"The approximate overall federal cost for fiscal year 2010 and 2011 inspections was over $2.1 million dollars," the watchdog agency said. And there is evidence that the cost overlap is "significant," investigators said.
"Federal agencies do incur quantifiable costs, including salaries, travel, and training of inspectors, and must purchase inspection equipment and pay staff to engage in inspection activities as opposed to research or other routine activities," the report said. "Given that inspections cost more for larger entities and overlap occurs more often for larger entities, the cost of overlap is greater than it would be if it were evenly distributed across entities of various sizes."
The report also noted it takes about 380 work hours to complete each inspection, a waste of investigators time if they are reviewing a facility already inspected by a sister agency.
After the 2001 anthrax attacks, when deadly spores were sent through the mail to Capitol Hill and other high-profile D.C. targets, many government agencies have increased research on biological agents that could be used in bioterrorism attacks. Meanwhile, the Transportation Department (DOT) has been placed in charge of transporting the dangerous substances between various federal sites.
The watchdog office said "overlapping" inspections occur if a particular site is evaluated by multiple federal agencies within a two-year span. And larger sites were more likely to draw frequent inspections. Fifty-five sites received multiple visits, just 15 percent of all facilities registered with the government from 2009 to 2011. But because inspectors were more likely to frequent the largest facilities, those 55 sites represent roughly a third of all laboratories that are working with the hazardous materials.
The report noted that DOT is less likely to be redundant with its inspections since it is focused on a narrow specialty: transportation of the select agents.
Some laboratories are even getting multiple visits from the same government department, the GAO said. Defense Department facilities undergo Biosurety Management Reviews.
"According to Army lab officials, however, these inspections tend to be identical" to evaluations conducted by the agency's Office of Inspector General, the GAO said.
The agency recommended the government departments better coordinate, including considering joint inspections that would save taxpayers money.
HHS, USDA, DHS and DOD all agreed that overlap could be reduced, and noted that there have already been 24 joint inspections as the agencies try to work together better.

We've had quite a few complaints about a problem with scheduling appointments and auto-completion. I've seen the problem but I've been unable to reproduce it consistently enough to file a good bug report.
The problem occurs when you're scheduling an appointment and you go to the schedule view tab and start typing an attendee name in the open attendee text input. Sometimes when auto-complete has selected a match for what you've typed and you hit return to select it, the name will auto-complete but the interface fails to create the next attendee slot and move down to the next text input as it normally does. You can't enter any further attendees in schedule view until you switch to one of the other tabs and then back. If you switch to appointment details the attendee who was just selected does not appear the attendee list.
I haven't been able to find any particular pattern in the contact entries or appointment details. The same entry will trigger the problem in one case and not in others. When the problem occurs I can repeat it two three times and then the problem seems to go away and it's not repeatable.
Has anyone else encountered this problem. We're running 5.0.6 and typically we're seeing this on Firefox 2 or 3 under Windows and Linux.

Hey guys, I had a weird upgrade problem.
I am running OS X Server 10.4.8 and upon changing my servers IP address things went all funky. What I decided to do (hoping it would fix my issues) was to upgrade to 4.0.3 from 4.0.2.
I went through the usual upgrade procedure and upon doing the zmsetup.pl command, it failed.
Now here's where things get interesting. Upon trying to zmcontrol stop and start things wouldn't come back up however, a reboot and a zmcontrol start worked perfectly. I am up and running again.
What I am wondering, is:
zmsetup.pl still hasn't finished successfully after doing the 4.0.3 upgrade. Will this affect anything, or should I make sure to get it ran for it do anything to my system for 4.0.3?

I expected this recipe to taste "cheesy" but the chicken broth and cream cheese didn't do it for me. The rice didn't cook well in the broth/cheese mixture either. I would not make this again
I made a few changes to add flavor. I added 2 cloves garlic, 1/4 tsp. black pepper, 1/4 c. Parmesan cheese, and 2 Tbs. lemon juice. As good as it was, next time I will use more lemon juice and lemon pepper as the flavor was barely there.
I've tried a b'zillion recipes from this site, and have LOVED all but 1 of them until today. Maybe it was how it was supposed to be, but the mushy rice was just gross to me personally. I picked out the shrimp and then threw the rest out :(

text: As a guy who came to live out West but was originally from Florida, I've learned quite a bit from the Eastmans. When I moved to Nevada I was a road hunter but realized I was doing something wrong. If I saw 10 bucks in a season I was doing very well while other people were killing some good bucks every year. I started reading everything I could get my hands on. My hunger to learn how to hunt the West was huge. Eastmans mags, books and videos were my top learning tools. Now I spend a lot of time helping friends fill thier tags and teaching them how to hunt in thier owne back yards or mountains, so to speak. Nowadays its not unusual to see 20 bucks in one drainage with the knowledge of using optics and learning to backpack hunt being great contributors to my hunting. Thanks to Eastmans and this forum for teaching me to be more eficient at doing what I love most, hunting. fatrascal.

He was born September 30, 1927, in Frio County, Schattel, Texas to Charles Edward Sadler and Mayme Elizabeth Davidson. He died August 23, 2014.
Coming from a large family, Ed began work at an early age, and was unable to complete high school. However, his education never stopped. He could work math in his head faster than those using a calculator and could look out over a pasture of hundreds of cattle and tell you exactly how many head were there. Not eligible to be in the service because of the loss of his eye at the age of 6, Ed began work at the San Antonio Stock Yard and worked there 14 years. He operated Humble Gasoline Stations, then worked as a ranch manager---his true calling. Ed had a great "eye" for cattle and horses, buying and selling many throughout his life. He lived by the cowboy code of ethics where a handshake sealed the deal. He was admired for his frankness, honesty, and integrity. As a nephew said, "Sometimes, quiet, unassuming guys like Ed don't know what influence they have on other peoples lives."
Ed worked in Von Ormy at the O.R. Mitchell Ranch, then moved to Seadrift, Batesville, Refugio, La Pryor, San Marcos, Wheelock, and finally Beeville---managing ranches for the Welders, BK. Johnson, the Heldenfels, and others, always taking the opportunity to "do a little better." As he said "A poor man has to work for money, and I made changes when it was the best for my family." Ed helped his son Joel, raise Santa Gertrudis cattle. Joel showed and won Grand Champion in Crystal City, San Antonio, and Laredo.
While walking along the streets of Lytle, Texas, Ed met Cora Mae Hester, his beloved wife of 63 1/2 years. They were introduced by a close, mutual friend. Ed and Cora spent many hours dancing the night away and loved Texas Swing, especially the music of Bob Wills. In April, they enjoyed the Fiddlers Frolic in Hallettsville, with Ed dancing with Cora and his daughter, Linda. Linda and Joel did not inherit their dad's ability to play or sing, but certainly learned to love to dance.
Ed's dad taught him to play the fiddle at a young age. He played and sang with his Dad and his 7 brothers and sisters, was in a band for many years, and always found people that loved to "pick and sing" wherever he and Cora lived. In the last few years, he played with good friends, with Cora fixing dinner for everyone while they played and sang. He was especially pleased that his granddaughter, Brittany, also played the fiddle. Brittany and her husband, Michael, played the fiddle and guitar Ed had given them and sang many of his favorites with him while he was in the hospital---"Waltz Across Texas," "I'll Fly Away," "How Great Thou Art," and many others.
The Brummett was Ed's beloved family cemetery and he took care of it for the last 18 years. He installed new pipe fences, repaired and replaced headstones, built outhouses, and in the last few months, constructed a pavilion for gatherings. Ed and Cora organized a yearly Brummett Cemetery get-together, making new friends (many of which were relatives), and raising money for the care and upkeep of the cemetery. Even though officially "retired," he spent many hours buying old tractors and other pieces of equipment, fixing them up, then selling them---never losing his love of "horse" trading.
The Ed Sadler family would to express a heartfelt thanks to Dr. Richard Otero and his staff (as Ed said, "Dr. Otero is the greatest of the great); Mission Trail Baptist Hospital and its dedicated doctors and nurses, (Stefani, Mary, Nikki, Diane, and many others); and the many friends and family that visited, emailed, and texted. Thank you!!
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Brummett Cemetery, in care of Security State Bank, 200 Texas Highway 132 North, Devine, Texas 78016.
Survivors include his wife, Cora Mae Hester; daughter, Linda Cooper and her husband, Mel; son, Joel Wade Sadler and his wife, Jennifer; grandchildren, Lawson Cooper, Cameron Cooper, Brittany Guzman and her husband, Michael; Jordan Wade Sadler and Jacob Wyatt Sadler; one great-granddaughter, Kennedi Brooke Cooper; brother, Kenneth Sadler; sister, Adele Neill and husband, Leonard; beloved nieces and nephews; and NUMEROUS other family members and dear friends. Ed will be greatly missed.
Visitation will be held Wednesday, August 27, 2014, in the Hurley Funeral Home Chapel in Devine from 11:00 am to service time. Funeral service will be held 1:00 pm Wednesday, August 27, 2014, in the Hurley Funeral Home Chapel in Devine with interment following at 4:30 pm in the Brummett Cemetery.
Arrangements are under the direction of Hurley Funeral Home, 303 W. College Ave, Devine, Texas 78016 (830) 663-4445.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- Each woman, no matter what part of the world she is from, is unique. Language barriers, cultural differences and physical characteristics separate them, but the risk of breast cancer unites them.
Staffers at the Embassy of Ghana in Northwest DC know this and are actively involved in this year's Komen Global Race For The Cure. Their team wants to make an impact-and defend their title while they're at it.
The group originally called itself the Ghana Queens because it hoped to reign as race champions. Last year they lived up to their name and won the honor of top international fundraiser.
The team hopes this year will be the same. Co-captain Araba Pobee wants a repeat of 2009 when the Ghana Queens captured the title from the Embassy of Italy.
This year it's the Embassy of Bahrain that's giving them trouble, according to Effie Bentsi-Adoteye, Ghana Queen co-captain, but the race isn't just about winning. It's about beating breast cancer.
Susan G. Komen For The Cure has helped the West African country of Ghana out immensely. "Overall in Africa we are very concerned about breast cancer and women's cancers," Ambassador Nancy G. Brinker, president and CEO of Susan G. Komen For The Cure, said. "The continent has been consumed with communicable disease and other very challenging issues."
While breast cancer affects fewer women in Africa, it hits earlier and harder. In Ghana only 25 percent of cancers are detected in an early stage. The rest of cancers-75 percent-are detected in a late stage. Many of those women have a highly aggressive strain called triple negative.
Women tend not to seek breast cancer help because of limited resources and the social stigma attached to the disease. "Even within the cities (they don't seek help) because of stigmatization," Bentsi-Adoteye said. "Once people are diagnosed with they disease, they wouldn't even want their own relations to know that this is an issue they have."
Komen has invested a quarter million dollars and founded a hospital to help the Ghana Breast Cancer Alliance. This is its largest international grant and includes an innovative program Brinker calls a course for the cure. "Our goal there is to educate, outreach, empower women there to do their own organizations and volunteer efforts," she said.
Soon more women in Ghana will be making an impact-not just the Ghana Queens. "With Susan Komen taking the lead in trying to find a cure for the disease, we can all chip in so we don't have to wait until we are inflicted," Bentsi-Adoteye said. "Once a cure is found, everybody in the world is going to benefit from it."

|Kayton Offensive MVP despite Nebraska loss in Six-Man Shoot Out
|Written by Wauneta Breeze

The Wauneta Breeze
For the second year in a row, the Wyoming All Stars used a second half comeback to top Nebraska in the Wyoming vs. Nebraska Six-Man Shoot Out football game.
Nebraska led by Wauneta-Palisade's Joseph Frecks and Randy Geier held a 10-point half time lead, but could only manage a safety in the second half. Wyoming won 40-26.
After three days of activities, including softball, canoeing and a banquet, the teams took to the field Saturday afternoon in Dubois, Wyo., home of the Wyoming Six-Man champions.
Wyoming scored on its second possession to take a 6-0 lead.
Nebraska answered with a 15-play drive highlighting the running ability of Sioux County's Johnny Dunn and W-P's Connor Kayton. Dunn's run on third and goal from the six plus the kick by Elkhorn Valley's Taylor Hanson put Nebraska up 8-6 early in the second quarter.
After stopping Wyoming on fourth down Nebraska scored again, this time with a Kayton pass to Sioux County's Garrett Gray. W-P's Logan Bischoff added the extra point.
With time running down in the half, Wyoming took advantage of a Nebraska fumble. Despite a Jack McGraw sack, Wyoming scored with 51 seconds left to narrow the score to 16-14.
Big runs by Kayton moved Nebraska back in to scoring position and with 2.8 seconds left Kayton found Gray once more for a touchdown.
Nebraska headed into halftime leading 24-14.
With sprinkles and wind during the second half, the momentum swung back-and-forth early in the third quarter.
Nebraska intercepted a pass on Wyoming's first play of the second half, but was unable to take advantage.
After punting, Nebraska looked to gain the upper hand after McGraw recovered a Wyoming fumble on the Wyoming seven yard line. Officials ruled the ball out of bounds and Wyoming went on to score a touchdown.
Receiving the ball, Kayton drove his team down the field with five runs and a 14-yard pass completion to Bischoff.
Kayton's fumble on the two-yard line killed the drive, but St. Edward's Austin Bilstein caught the Wyoming back in the endzone for a safety. It was Nebraska's only points of the second half.
Wyoming took the lead on a touchdown with 1:11 left in the third quarter and added 10 points in the fourth quarter to take a 40-26 win.
Though Kayton was named the game's offensive MVP Frecks said all of the W-P players did an outstanding job.
"We asked Connor to do quite a bit for us, and he threw two touchdown passes and had an outstanding game overall."
"Logan had some nice catches, and Weylin Davis and Jack played great on defense as well. We were very proud of not only our boys from W-P, but all of the kids from Nebraska."
Cole Gourlay of Little Snake River was named the defensive MVP.
Frecks said it was a well organized event.
"The boys seemed to have a great time with everything we did," said Frecks. "The Nebraska and Wyoming kids got along great when we were together, and both groups were great kids all the way around."

I have zero experience in the D6 broadheads. So what is everybody using and how have they held up ?
I have not shot Deep 6 either but due to the "skinnyness" of the threading I would lean towards an all steel head. I know that Trophy Taker is coming out with a steel Ulmer Edge but it is 125 grain only. I shot the Solid S30V 125 last year and loved them, by far the sharpest broad head I have ever seen. Solid makes a Deep 6 head in 100 and 125.
I am shooting the Black Eagle Deep Impacts but with the Firenock outsert. I love them. They are time consuming to install but they have very tight tolerances and are very durable. Might be something to look at.
You might want to try the Helix heads. Tim's wife has been using them with her Injexion's and has had great results.
My Helix heads are in the mail. Just read too many amazing things about them, especially since they are compatible with D6 arrows.
Can't wait to try em out.

Well with some further testing I am back to the Injexions and feel they are giving me the best overall tightest groups, that's what I am after. I will say I have had 6 now that have had some slight wobble after quite a bit of shooting. After further testing I find it coming from the D6 fieldpoints so I will need to carry some extras all the time. I feel it is do to the reduction in the shank size and might be prone to the weak spot. You probably would not notice it shooting a bag target etc. However, I have been shooting through hay bales with the black mates behind them and they have been penetrating them in a big way. I seem to not have an issue with the standard shanked fieldpoints but the D6 have not held up as well in these same conditions. I will continue to test and monitor this as time goes by.
Thanks for the update! Maybe they need to build the from different stronger steel. Aircraft Alloy and stainless steel would be a good choice IMO. Mike from Magnus won't produce a D6 broadhead due to he stated the shank will be to weak.

I Love Bon Vital Naturale Massage Lotion! It is light with good glide, not greasy. Have used it for a couple of years and will keep on using it. It works for me with all kinds of massage treatments.
I am delighted by this product in how once you figure out the proper amount for your client and massage modality, one application can do the trick. I do lots of massage cupping on clients and normally I would use just an oil. This product works great for cupping as well as deep work too. I use it now for all cupping, swedish style and deep work. You just need to play with the amount that works best for the treatment applied. Also, does not stain sheets. +++!!!
Love this product! The glide, texture and stay power are all fantastic. Great stuff
As an LMT... many of you can relate to the frustration of finding the right product for your clients. I have always preferred crème's vs. lotions due to the thicker consistency. I wanted to find use for the lotion bottles my Mom recently purchased for me; so after reading the reviews, product ingredients, and comparing prices, I purchased a gallon of this product. I filled my lotion bottles and headed off to work excited to use the new product! I was embarrassed all day, attempting to get the correct amount! A little bit wasn't enough, too much and I was all over the place making unpleasant 'noises'. It feels like a crème was extremely diluted. Bon Vital does make excellent products, and perhaps the crème would be better suited for me. But I am writing this to simply say, just because a product has a "5 star" rating doesn't mean that you will be satisfied with it. It is better to start with a few different kinds, and find one you like...than to invest what I did on a product that I was really disappointed in. Good luck to all:)
I did not care for this product as much as a massage creme by itself. It seemed to be absorbed quickly by my clients. I do think that it would be an excellect creme for any of the body wrap therapies. It does feel good on the skin, I just found myself using more than normal.

Saturday, October 15, 2011
This struck me as an easy case: obviously no. But then I learned that a colleague encouraged the student who asked to re-apply, apparently on the principle of "you never know." I guess that it's harmless (minus the mailing expenses), but it still seems to me a clear-cut no.
23 comments:
My colleague was hired the second time around. Apply.
Also, the search committee might be different this time.
- October 15, 2011 at 7:54 PM
Let N be the number from 1-5 (1= Southwest Dregs Community College, 5= Leiter Top 20) at which you'd rank the caliber of the department to which you've previously applied.
Let M be the highest number from 1-5 at which you'd rank the caliber of the department you'd place atop your actual interview pool from last year.
You should reapply only if N >= M.
- October 15, 2011 at 8:57 PM
I think that was terrible advice, Spiros.
Searches are notoriously chaotic processes (in the sense of chaos theory) and running the same search twice is very likely to give dramatically different results.
- October 15, 2011 at 10:49 PM
I think you're assuming that it's the same search committee, which you cannot assume.
A different committee might give the applicant a different look.
- October 16, 2011 at 12:21 AM
The whole thing is a goddamn randomized, chaotic, irrational crapshoot in which there is absolutely no rhyme or reason. OF COURSE APPLY AGAIN.
- October 16, 2011 at 3:13 AM
I also have a colleague hired (at least) the second time around.
- October 16, 2011 at 4:38 AM
- Ben said...
Aside from considerations given above, there are also the possibilities that either a) the student in question is now a stronger applicant and b) the competition may now be weaker, with some of those that did get interviews last year having now left the market.
But, even if neither of these are the case, I'd still side with those who say re-apply.
- October 16, 2011 at 4:42 AM
I'd also say reapply. Though I might start asking around about the job and how long they've been advertising. I've heard tell of departments who put the same job on the market every year because they want one particular person. If this is one of those "we aren't being explicit about this but we're only interested in poaching x known superstar from another school" situations then it may not even be worth the cost of a stamp to apply.
- October 16, 2011 at 8:05 AM
I've got a sense of which jobs advertised this year were also advertised last year. If "university x" is the university I think it is, I'm completely with you.
- October 16, 2011 at 8:39 AM
Word: uncur. As in "Spiros was uncur-d when he gave his irrational advice, then everyone set his ass straight."
- October 16, 2011 at 10:58 PM
Having served on numerous search committees over many years, I'd say you should definitely reapply. Although departments vary in their procedures, ours was fairly typical in using a screening committee of three to make the first "cut" and the membership of this group likely shifts each year.
I do remember one specific case where a SC member seemed to have an irrational bias against somebody the rest of us thought very strong - and that candidate got the job the following year when the subcommittee membership shifted and the SC member in question was on sabbatical.
You might rethink your presentation. If the department takes teaching seriously, put more emphasis on this. Take another look at your cover letter. Be sure to add any new refereed successes (professional meetings and/or journals) to help yourself, obviously.
- October 17, 2011 at 6:51 AM
Naïveté... The process is corrupted. Reapplying is one thing. Making sure the right phone calls are made is priceless.
- October 17, 2011 at 9:32 AM
Another testimonial: *I* was hired on reapplying.
- October 17, 2011 at 10:28 AM
I was also hired upon reapplying to the same University, although the job was in a slightly different area to which I was arguably a better fit.
- October 17, 2011 at 12:46 PM
I applied to the same job again in only one instance -- the first search was canceled due to lack of funding after APA interviews. I had interviewed with the school at the APA and they sent all interviewees a note encouraging is to apply the next year. I did and had another APA interview with them. I didn't get the job or an on-campus. But I do remember the search committees were totally different. At the first interview, the first question was: tell us about your teaching style -- do you use a stick or a ball? The other members of the committee immediately shushed him and apologized.
- October 18, 2011 at 1:00 AM
I, too, was interviewed and hired in year two. There was a failed search and, it seems, the awareness of what went wrong helped to focus the search committee better in year two towards what they most wanted with the hire and in the new colleague. This new focus made my nearly identical application stand out and rise to the top. Although I'd second the last paragraph of advice from Anonymous 6:51.
- October 18, 2011 at 7:26 AM
In response to the label on this post: yes, the best cranky jerkiest kind.
- October 18, 2011 at 10:38 AM
I was hired the first time I applied for my job. I did not reapply the second time around because there was no search that year, since I already had been hired. Therefore, I agree with Spiros.
- October 18, 2011 at 12:42 PM
PA is correct. This whole thread is some kind of satire.
- October 18, 2011 at 3:29 PM
My darling cranky jerks: I got a TT at Shit University 7 years ago. I put my energies into making tenure and avoided the horrendous job market. Now I am tenured (in my mid-30's), I wonder if it was a mistake to avoid the job market. Am I doomed to stay at my job at Shit Uni forever? Is it possible to get a better job?
- October 18, 2011 at 4:28 PM
"Am I doomed to stay at my job at Shit Uni forever? Is it possible to get a better job?"
That depends. How well reviewed was your second book?
- October 18, 2011 at 11:23 PM
Putting in your first application is like playing plinko. No idea where the chip will land and very little of it is in your control. If you have to play again, you didn't win the first time. The main difference is that the person who won can't be hired again. So, that's like playing plinko again at no cost to yourself where part of the cause of your failure has been removed. Play again. (Unless you had to ask whether you should play again. If you have to ask whether you should play plinko a second time having not won the first when it's no cost to you to play again, there's no helping you.)
wv: Breez
Applying a second time is a breez.

Reporting by Diane Roberts
ADAMSTOWN, Md. (WUSA 9) -- Nikki Prokopchak is a competitive horse jumper. She's highly ranked in Maryland, Virginia and a region that covers six states.
She's a devoted athlete -- in a sport that's about accuracy, practice and a unique bond between horse and rider.
PHOTOS: Nikki & Response Train at Dream Catcher Farm
For the past year, Nikki has spent about five days a week at Dream Catcher Farm training with her horse Response.
Whether it's practicing in the ring or in competition, Nikki says when she's going over a jump her main focus is on, "doing everything correctly," not only with her form, but with Response.
"He's a real contender. I think that's what makes us work really well together ... I'm just like him in a sense. I'm very competative. I like to win, so I think that combined makes us unstoppable," said Nikki, who has been riding since she was eight years old.
Nikki's trophies and ribbons represent the success she's had in competitions. Her trainer, Melinda Cohen, see's a future for Nikki in riding because of the bond she was able to establish with Response, a headstrong horse.
"Nikki seems to be able to handle that. She never gets rattled, she never loses composure," said Cohen.
Nikki treasures a specific pair of riding gloves -- the ones with JustWorld's logo on them. JustWorld is a charity through which horse jumpers all over the world raise money for children in Honduras, Guatemala, Cambodia and Brazil.
"It makes me more determined to go in the ring and win knowing that if I can win some money for them, it'd be a great outcome," said Nikki.
Nikki will compete at the Atlanta Classics this summer. She is also focussed on her ultimate goals: becoming a professional horse jumper, opening her own barn and jumping at the Grand Prix level.
