Sophos SafeGuard File Encryption for Mac 6.10: Release Notes
Applies to the following Sophos product(s) and version(s) Sophos SafeGuard File Encryption for Mac 6.10
Operating systems OSX 10.7, 10.8, 10.9, 10.10* * Installations on OS X 10.10 require an updated installation package (version 22.214.171.1244), which is available in the download area of Sophos.com as of 24th of October 2014.
Sophos SafeGuard File Encryption for Mac offers transparent file-based encryption on local drives, network shares, removable drives and in the cloud via certain cloud storage providers.
With SafeGuard File Encryption for Mac you can safely encrypt and decrypt files and exchange these files with others.
The compatibility of this release of SafeGuard File Encryption for Mac with previous releases and modules of Sophos is as follows:
Both products share the modules that connect the SafeGuard for Mac client to the SafeGuard Enterprise 6.10 backend.
Note that SafeGuard File Encryption for Mac adds two new features to the server connection:
As both products share common modules, they need to be installed and uninstalled in a certain order.
These are the supported installation sequences:
Note: SafeGuard File Encryption for Mac 6.10 is compatible with SafeGuard Disk Encryption for Mac version 6.01 only.
If you have an older version of SafeGuard Disk Encryption for Mac installed (for example SafeGuard Disk Encryption for Mac version 5.55 on Mac OS X 10.7), then you need to upgrade SafeGuard Disk Encryption for Mac to version 6.01 first before you install SafeGuard File Encryption for Mac.
Note that it is highly recommended to always have the latest versions of Sophos applications installed.
Note that these situations need to be taken care of, because this overwrites shared modules with older versions or might even remove modules, so that SafeGuard File Encryption for Mac will not work correctly any more.
Usually anti-virus software works in two modes:
For both modes applies the following:
Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac version 8 and 9 have been tested with SafeGuard File Encryption for Mac and detect viruses on SafeGuard Secured volumes in both modes under the following circumstances:
Make sure you always scan the SafeGuard Secured volumes or you risk missed detection.
If you happen to scan it through the original path, you can do so, it won't do any harm, but you won't find any virus, as the file content you scan is encrypted.
If you have installed SafeGuard File Encryption for Mac, please make sure that
This will allow the file content on a SafeGuard Secured volume to be scanned on-access.
If you are using other anti-virus software, make sure that your product is able to detect viruses, too. You can use the EICAR Anti-Malware test file (http://www.eicar.org/86-0-Intended-use.html ) for testing purposes.

I not only use this in my gluten free bread and cake products, I also use this to thicken stews and soups. It is usually interchangable with cornstarch. If you want twice the thickening power, use tapioca starch. I do find this very nice to make cream puffs and eclairs, instead of wheat flour. The reason is, you do not have to pull out doughy mass in the middle of the puff (what you have to do with wheat flour puffs), as it all bakes up nice all the way through with a nice hollow in the center for filling. For wheat eaters, if you use some with your wheat flour, substitute some wheat flour with the starch, it will greatly lighten up your cakes and breads. For those who use gluten free flours, sift in with your rice flour and other starches as this makes it easier to measure accurately and mix better.

Perfect quality and excellent result when cooking. I use it mostly for simple and fast desserts that are very popular in Eastern Europe. Boil water with your favorite jam or juice (it can be also dried fruits boiled in water, anything that you like), add sugar and when boiling add potato starch previously dissolved in small amount of cold water (depending on the amount of water, 1-3 tablespoons of starch). Mix quickly until you get the desired thickness and wait for the first bubble from boiling. Eat hot or cold with milk or whipped cream.
Terrific for gluten free cooking

Nice multi-purpose startch for all of my baking.
Great product!

I use this for my favorite gluten free bread recipe. It browns better than other starches and works well in coating mixes for gluten free chicken nuggets and things like that.

I bought this potato starch to use in a gluten free flour blend. It worked quite well. I will be buying again!

ATLANTA - We seem to have a love-hate relationship with cell phone towers.
We protest when someone tries to put one in our neighborhood, but we also complain about poor connections to the gadget crazy wireless world many of us now crave.
A Cobb County state lawmaker wants to make it easier for cell towers to sprout, he claims for better public safety and more jobs.
"If companies come here and they don't see that they have the bandwidth and the coverage they need, then they're going to be looking someplace else," Rep. Don Parsons (R-Cobb County) told 11 Alive News.
Parsons' HB 176 would limit the power of Georgia's local governments to deal with cell tower requests.
Among other things, it would require that government to make a decision on a new application within 150 days or an improvement application within 90 days.
If they don't act one way or the other in that time, those applications would automatically be approved.
It would also no longer require a company to prove the technical need for the tower, such as a gap in coverage.
And it would allow certain improvements without approval, such as making a tower up to 10 feet taller or up to 20 feet wider.
Communication companies believe it would help streamline things.
"It's a very long process to begin with, 18 to 24 months today, and that's if everything goes right," AT&T spokesman Bob Corney told 11 Alive.
"This is really about just trying to take out that unnecessary component of it," he added.
Local governments complain it would tie their hands and muzzle public opposition.
"It will significantly limit the power of local government and the public at the negotiating table on new cell tower locations within their communities," said Todd Edwards of the Association of County Commissions of Georgia.
Edwards said the 150 day decision limit may sound reasonable at first, but it doesn't take into account a case where a communications company or several companies might file multiple applications at one time, which could overwhelm a local government.
Rep. Parsons argued that because so many governments lack expertise in the field they have to hire outside consultants to study the applications.
He claimed that can drag out the process since consultants are often paid by the hour.
Wednesday afternoon the House Energy, Utilities and Telecommunications Committee unanimously approved Rep. Parson's bill.
It now heads to the State House for possible debate on whether Georgia should speed up the cell tower process.

Santa Fe, MN–New data published in Phytotherapy Research indicates that an herbal combination ingredient benefits women in all phases of menopause.
News and notes from industry suppliers.
Nothing is more frustrating than managing staff members who cut corners, do the bare minimum and contribute little to the team. You can't force your workers to be as passionate as you are about your business, but you can do a lot to motivate them.
High fructose corn syrup (HFCS), the oft-maligned and omnipresent sweetening agent, may be in for a major change if corn refiners get their way. The ingredient itself, frequently cited for its overconsumption and the target of many recent consumer health initiatives, won't undergo a transformation, but the way it's referred to on food labels could, pending a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) decision.
Jarrow Formulas, Inc. and James Gormley of Citizens for Health organized a tactical meeting during Expo East, with the hopes of encouraging industry members to take a stronger stand against the recently proposed guidance on new dietary ingredients (NDIs), and to consider formation of a new trade association. In attendance were some of the industry's largest and most influential supplement makers, retailers, and raw materials suppliers, as well as interested observers such as the founder of the American Botanical Council.
More than 20,000 industry members headed to Baltimore for the chance to learn and grow at Natural Products Expo East. Once again co-located with All Things Organic-BioFach America, the Organic Summit, and Healthy Baking, the show was held at the Baltimore Convention Center from September 21 to 24.
The hearts of many were heavy with news of the passing of John R. Carlson. He was 77.

New Rochelle, NY (Sports Network) - Lamont Jones poured in 30 points to push
the Iona Gaels to a 78-70 victory over the Manhattan Jaspers in a Metro
Atlantic Athletic Conference tilt at the Hynes Athletics Center.
Jones went 8-of-17 from the field and 10-of-10 at the free throw line to help
the Gaels (9-6, 3-1 MAAC) to their third win in a row. Taaj Ridley added 14
points and seven rebounds while Tavon Sledge dealt out eight assists.
Emmy Andujar led Manhattan (4-10, 2-2) with 17 points. Rhamel Brown

suffered their fifth setback in six outings.
Manhattan outscored the hosts, 9-1, in second chance points in the opening 20
minutes to build a 36-30 lead as the game progressed into the intermission.
The Gaels made only 33.3 percent of their field goal attempts in the first
Iona heated up to knock down a red-hot 62.5 percent of its shots from the
floor including a near perfect 8-of-9 from beyond the arc after the break. The
Jaspers were unable to keep up despite hitting 13 of their 27 field goal
tries. The contest was a two-possession game for the final 5:42 of play.
Manhattan outscored the hosts, 40-26, in points in the paint, but the Gaels
tallied 10 makes from 3-point range to the Jaspers' five to come out on top.

Swingin' Soirie: Great Food, Pro Tennis and Fast Cars
Set loose a pack of Maserati sport sedans on an empty runway, throw in an exhibition tennis match between two of the sport's greatest players and add a spread of gourmet catering. That was the recipe for a late July event for customers of charter provider Talon Air, a company that clearly knows how to liven up a Thursday afternoon.
Highlighting the well-attended soirйe inside Talon's hangar at Republic Airport on Long Island was a private match between former world number-one tennis pros Pete Sampras and Jim Courier. The pair signed autographs and mingled with the crowd after their friendly game, held on a regulation court in the hangar just feet from the noses of some Talon Air jets.
Earlier in the day, sponsor Maserati handed over the keys to a dozen or so high-performance Quattroporte sedans to guests. Airport managers graciously allowed the transformation of the Republic's Runway 32 for temporary autocross use in exchange for a few hot laps of their own.
Talon Air is one of the few charter providers in the U.S. that owns its fleet of airplanes. In fact, the company is the largest private owner of Beechjet and Hawker business jets and it will soon become the first commercial Part 135 operator to put the new Hawker 4000 super-midsize jet into service.
Last year, Talon Air hosted a similar event with Porsche, and company founder Adam Katz said he's already making plans for next year.

Mad about Cookie CuttersThursday, June 19th, 2008
I mentioned in a previous post that there were more cookie cutters in the mail. I received them not long after and made a few "test" cookies. But with other exciting distractions like fruit ganaches and new macaron flavours, I never got round to writing an entry about them.
So without further ado, I present decorated cookies, part II:
The design ideas for the teapots and teacups came from Peggy Porschen's delightful books. Browsing through the book, I immediately fell in love with the roses and leaves design. But when I actually got round to decorating the cookies, I found that I liked the ones with the tiny hearts the best.
Yes, I'll be the first to admit that it was a little OTT to go for the two-toned design, but I think they look so much prettier this way!
These baby-themed cookies were made after a client asked about decorated cookies for her baby boy's one-month party. Don't be deceived by the photographs; these cookies are HUGE!
The baby-themed cutters came in a set of 10 different shapes. My favourites were the baby wagon, milk bottle and pacifier. There was also an adorable umbrella shaped cutter, but the cookies tended to break easily because of the slim umbrella handle.
I loved the way these wedding-themed cookies turned out, except that the tuxedo turned out wrinkley. I suspect that I was too generous with the chocolate in the black icing. Any other ideas on why the tux turned out looking like distressed leather are more than welcome! On the bright side, I guess it could work for a rock-and-roll themed wedding!!
Other than that, I was really pleased with the lovely details like the buttons, pockets and lacey swirls on the tux and gown. Design credit goes to Ms Porschen as always!
These deep red cookies turned out so pretty that I couldn't bear to eat them. I especially liked the contrasting outlines in the lighter shades of dark pink and yellow-green. I think they're perfect as a take-home gift for a bridal shower or wedding reception.
All the cookies shown in this post and this other post are available for purchase, inclusive of packaging as shown with the rose cookies above. Each cookie is about 3″ - 4″ large. Pricing is dependent on complexity of design.

This topic comes up within threads every so often. It seems some "filter" and some feel strongly about not filtering but rather falling in behind cars that are already stopped at a light and following them through the intersection.
I am including a video I made of what I guess my definition is for clarification. It also includes how I begin & end left turns, which is probably another conversation in itself.
Take a look at the video if you have time and let's discuss!

Maxxis Monorail Tire - Clincher $0.00
The Maxxis Monorail has a radical tread pattern that's designed to run all-out in dry XC race conditions. The ramped center knobs run in a serpentine wave, providing grip in loose sand and gravel without slowing you down in the straights. Stiff, C-shaped side teeth slash through corners, wide-set middle knobs shed mud, and thin "monorail" bars running lengthwise add lateral stability and reduce knob flex, decreasing rolling resistance while simultaneously increasing traction.

Great XC racing tire in dry conditions
I've done XC races with the non-UST version of this tire on front. I've only run it with tubes (although I may use it with Stan's this year on my other bike). Mine is lighter (535g) than the weight listed here (585g). It has a fairly large volume (i.e. pretty tall) for a 2.1 width. The knobs are not very aggressive (not tall), so I would classify it more as an XC tire than an all-mountain tire. It has the best grip when you lean your turns, rather than steer them. Tracks pretty straight in sandy conditions. Haven't used it much in muddy/wet conditions, but it did pack up (did not shed the mud well). Only weakness is it seems to slide out easily when I'm turning and then need to brake (easier than my Rocket Ron, for example). Straight line braking is excellent.
My Review and UST or NOT?
First, HuckNRoll, please be more clear on whether this is the UST version or non-UST. You have a bullet point under the description that says UST however, your specs has the non-UST weight. This tire in UST is 700g.
I have been running these tires out here in Colorado (and states nearby) and they are some of the best tires I've ridden in just about all conditions. One issue I've had with a couple (not all I've owned and ridden), is that it seems the Stan's solution can have a bad reaction and I've seen the layers of the rubber separate. You might notice some bubbles form on the middle of these tires - I can only imagine this is a chemical reaction caused by the much needed scoop of Stans.
To my mtb'n friends in CO (and states close by), I would highly recommend these tires and perhaps trying a different 'anti-flat' solution to guard against the thorns/goatheads and other minor slits in the tire. I'm very surprised I don't see more people running these tires around here.

what does UST mean?
I don't know where you see it on this page, but usually it means Universal Standard Tubeless. I'm pretty sure this tire is not a tubeless.
The Maxxis Monorail comes in both a non-UST version (run tubes inside) and a UST version (run tubeless). From the drop-down menu "select option" above, the UST version is the more expensive option.

Hi !!
So I have those wonderful maps and also got Photoshop. Until now to print those maps i had to manually crop a bigger map into smaller crops using the crop tool, once cropped i sent this crop to the printer, did that for a big map maybe twenty times ( depends on the map ). It is a huge work and i was wondering if there is a easier way to do this on PS or any other software.
Thanks for the support!!

Which Yoga Style is Right for You? We Match Personality with Practice
Certain people are attracted to certain styles of yoga for various reasons. Just as the color of your yoga mat can affect your practice, your favorite yoga style might say something about your personality.
The following is a fun, light-hearted list of yoga styles, and the personalities they attract.
Restorative Yoga
This style of yoga is for those in need of some serious power relaxing, and not ashamed to admit it. For restorative yoga lovers, there is no guilt in shutting out the world with a lavender eye pillow and kicking back on a fluffy pile of blankets for an hour.
Power Yoga
Active styles of yoga, such as power yoga, vinyasa yoga, Ashtanga yoga, attract the spirited sorts who are looking to improve athletically, and stretch their acrobatic skills.
Yoga in this category is seriously physical, but this is not to say there is no spiritual element to it. People who gravitate toward strength-oriented yoga classes often find spiritual inspiration through physical challenges.

The 2011 Fortune 500: The Big Boys Rack Up Record-Setting Profits
Given the sluggish recovery and a strapped consumer, you'd expect to see corporate America trudging along, not racing for glory. In fact, the Fortune 500 are thriving as a group.

Impressed by the speed and accuracy with which Watson churned out answers (or rather, "questions") in its winning performance in the Jeopardy! Challenge last year? Citigroup was, too -- so much so that it has hired the supercomputer to assist its human financial professionals.
Last month, IBM's Watson supercomputer beat trivia champs Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter on "Jeopardy." At the core of Watson's success was something called Semantic Analysis Technology, and if you want to make your own "Jeopardy" bet, put some money on the companies that supply it.
Jeopardy Brad Rutter Finds Buzzer Politics At Play
If nobody's perfect, same goes for computers. Big Blue's digital dynamo Watson may have handily defeated its human rivals this week on the Jeopardy! challenge, but it made some major errors along the way. IBM's engineers have been posting post-mortems about that on the Internet.
For Watson, it was elementary. IBM's mighty supercomputer has landed the title of new Jeopardy! champ. No matter how hard Brad Rutter and Ken Jennings -- the two human contestants pitted against the machine -- tried, they were just no match for the brainy Watson.
Watson Wins Double Jeopardy Round, Here's Where To Get Early Peek
IBM's supercomputer Watson racked up $5,000 in winnings on day one of the three-day Jeopardy! challenge Monday, but so did one of its human competitors. The human champs, Brad Rutter and Ken Jennings, face long odds -- at least according those betting their own money on the action.
Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter know how tough IBM's Watson supercomputer will be to defeat. But with the honor of the human race at stake next week, they both have strategies that they're counting on to outwit the ultra-brainy black box. Here's a look at how they're preparing for the ultimate challenge.
Along with hitting the lottery and scoring the winning touchdown in the Super Bowl, winning big money on a game show ranks up there on the list of American dreams. Here are some stories of game show heroes and heroines, and what they did after the check arrived and the bright lights faded.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - Pennsylvania's annual cross-border high school football grudge match will center on the Mason-Dixon Line for the next five years.
For the last 19 years the all-star contest has featured squads from Pennsylvania and Ohio. Pennsylvania and Maryland previously met eight times between 1985 and 1992.
The annual contest is staged in Hershey. Big 33 officials cited the game's proximity to Maryland as a contributing factor in the decision to renew the rivalry.
The next Big 33 game is scheduled for June 15. In its 56-year history the game has also featured matchups with all-star teams from Texas and a Pennsylvania vs. the USA format.

SN's Mike DeCourcy takes an analytical look at five significant questions in college basketball this week.
Starting Five: Wear twins could be key to UCLA's seasonncaab January 14, 2013 6:07pm EST January 2, 2013 1:40pm EST UCLA got a big win over the holidays, beating Missouri at home. But to sustain that success, they'll need to get consistent offensive production out of Travis and David Wear, SN's Mike DeCourcy says.
2 UCLA got a big win over Missouri. Still, if the Bruins can't guard the pick-and-roll, they're cooked, right?
DeCourcy: Here's the problem for UCLA. They're not going to face anybody the rest of the season that runs the pick-and-roll with the sort of mastery Phil Pressey showed in that post-Christmas game. But they also might not encounter another opponent who'll allow the Wear twins to shoot 18-of-27 combined.
Is there room in the middle for UCLA to keep winning games, for the Bruins to get enough out of the Wears — if not that level of excellence — to compensate for their obvious defensive shortcomings?
In games against major opponents, the kind the Bruins will face regularly in the Pac-12, they are 3-2. Such teams have averaged 74.2 points and shot 45.2 percent from the field vs. the Bruins. So it stands to reason that UCLA will not be an elite defensive team. The Bruins can work to improve and get in the way now and then, but they're going to have to score big numbers to be successful.
Could the Wears be a key to that? Their explosion to a combined 38 points against Missouri's interior defense was the most significant difference in UCLA's victory. Nothing they'd done before suggested that was coming. How effective will they be when they face more committed defenses?
Yes, a lot of my sentences in this supposed answer end in question marks. I just don't know.
3 Mark Emmert plans to propose a new stipend system. Do you think he'll get this one passed?
DeCourcy: If NCAA rules expert John Infante is correct, I barely care. He indicates the NCAA is examining the possibility of offering need-based stipends. I suppose the only worse idea is offering nothing at all.
The across-the-board stipend the NCAA tried to adopt a year ago was the right move given the money that is in the new television contracts for the five big-money conferences. Dressing up these stipends as some sort of social program to make it more palatable to the full membership is indefensible.
The simple truth is the schools in the richest conferences have the money to make these stipend payments for athletes in their "head count" rather easily. It's basically the cost of an assistant football coach, maybe two. Some, perhaps most, of those in mid- and low-major programs do not have that money. That's why it was set up to be voluntary. It was not to have been mandatory that Division I scholarship include the stipend.
It's certainly not right that a basketball player at Georgia Tech is restricted from receiving a stipend because someone at Kennesaw State objects.
4 Murray State has lost back-to-back games heading into OVC play. Reason to worry?
DeCourcy: I think it's reason to believe Murray is, as expected, returning to a circumstance in which it will need to receive an automatic bid to reach the NCAA Tournament. I wouldn't rule out an at-large if the Racers were to dominate the Ohio Valley as they did last year, losing only a single game. That'll be harder to do because Belmont (9-4) has entered the league, but having another significant team would increase the value of such a performance.
Murray's home loss to Valparaiso is the only one of its three — Colorado on a neutral floor and at Dayton were the others — that might not have been expected. Senior guard Isaiah Canaan is actually playing significantly better than last season, when he was a Sporting News first-team All-American. But the graduation of Donte Pool and Ivan Aska and the suspension of expected starter Zay Jackson mean the Racers are not as experienced, not as deep and perhaps not as talented.
5 Many fans were surprised to see Minnesota ranked in the top 10. Does it have staying power?
DeCourcy: Are they a top-10 team? Not sure. A better question might involve whether they can be one of the top three teams in the Big Ten. Michigan and Indiana figure to be there. Ohio State and Michigan State will not be easily brushed aside.
I'm not sure whether there's room in the top 10 for three teams from the same conference, especially one that also features dangerous teams in Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa. I do, however, believe it will be Minnesota that emerges from the pack to challenge the Hoosiers and Wolverines.
The Gophers have the size, versatility and dynamic guard play to survive a challenging conference season, and they have a significant home-court advantage because of Williams Arena's unique configuration. They are a top-20 team in both offensive and defensive efficiency.
Others worry whether big man Trevor Mbakwe has recovered all of his powers following last season's devastating knee injury. He looked pretty good battling MSU's big men on Monday, finishing the game with a double-double. Even if he is not the star he once was, he's a nice piece in a fairly complete group.
6 Is there anything in college hoops more predictable that Kansas winning the Big 12?
DeCourcy: Yes. College coaches choosing not to foul when leading by three points in the final seconds of a game. And then losing that game.
Hey, you asked.

As Tonyd79 had mentioned above, it is pretty clear that a Slingbox cannot be used for commercial purposes in any way (even if the bar owner had signed up for a TWC commercial account).
I'm still questioning this. What Slingbox have put up in legalese is probably enforced by the industry, but is it legally enforceable? Are there specific LAWS broken to which this person can be arrested for and be prosecuted for, or is this a violation of terms of service which would result in cancellation of said service.
I see unauthorized use of equipment, as set by the equipment manufacturer. I do not see any evidence that the owner of this establishment can be arrested for breaking the law.
Furthermore, Slingbox does not have a service fee. It is a piece of electronics that cannot be revoked, cannot be taken away, and cannot be remotely disabled if Sling Media finds out it is being used for commercial purposes. The software license states that Sling Media retains ownership of the software license, but what legal recourse do they really have to disable the software? Can they even do such a thing?
I still do not see, however, a criminal offense for which this bar owner can be prosecuted under the fullest extend of the law. Sling Media might be able to sue the bar owner, and the bar owner would probably lose for violating the terms of service. But then again, anyone can sue anyone for any reason.
Still not sure which LAW is broken there.
Additionally, it would appear that - after you contact them - there are options for business solutions using Slingbox to deliver TV Anywhere to a business' customers:
Here is another thought..... the OC sports bar in question is HUGE. Dozens of televisions, many thousands of dollars of profit every night. IF indeed a law is broken here, it might be worth the risk, if the owner already knows the penalties. Again, I still don't quite know WHICH law is broken, but I will have to refer to someone with more legal expertise than me.

Making children smile
International | A group of Texas plastic surgeons use their skills to help third-world kids "because it's the right thing to do"
When Mary and Martha Meas were born in Cambodia more than two years ago, their birth was greeted with joy-and sadness. Mary Meas had a bi-lateral cleft lip, which left her face looking as though a small trunk was growing out of her nose. Her family inquired about surgery in Singapore, Hong Kong, and the Philippines, but it was too expensive.
Providentially for Mary, her father is a Cambodian pastor, and news of her plight passed from an American missionary's family to Patrick Beckham of Austin, Texas. Dr. Beckham was the right person to ask. For years he has been doing free surgery on his own and with Austin Smiles, the charity founded by the Austin Plastic Surgery Society. Since 1987 his group has performed more than 2,500 free surgeries outside the United States, primarily in Central and South America, and about 1,000 free surgeries in the 10-county region around Austin.
Operating on Mary Meas had special appeal to Dr. Beckham. As a Christian he looks for ways to combine his faith and his interest in missions with his medical work. Operating on a pastor's daughter-especially a pastor who as a boy had escaped from Pol Pot's killing fields, fled to Thailand where he came in contact with missionaries and was converted-is the kind of work he likes to do.
The doctor looks like a cross between former president George Bush and a mustachioed Pat Robertson. He smiles when he tells how his church, Covenant Presbyterian, helped find a place for Mary and her father to stay once she was out of the hospital. He brings out before and after pictures, which show a beautiful little girl whose face-and future-were transformed by a relatively simple operation.
That's the philosophy behind Austin Smiles. From the very beginning, the doctors decided to focus on cleft lip and palates "because it is such a high impact operation.... With a relatively simple, reasonably quick one or two operations, you can absolutely change a child's life totally," says Dr. Jim Fox, one of the founders.
Since 1990 the group has traveled most frequently to El Salvador, a land torn by years of civil war. In that country about the size of Massachusetts, 14 plastic surgeons struggle to meet the needs of six million people. Local doctors, paid about $500 a month by the government, have neither time nor finances to provide charity care for all the poor people who require lip and palate surgery. That's where groups like Austin Smiles come in.
A trip to El Salvador usually includes 40 volunteers, all of whom pay a large part of their own way. The doctors pay all their own expenses-airfare, hotel-while other volunteers pay a $500 sponsorship fee, which basically covers the cost of airfare and food. Austin Smiles pays for their hotel and transportation costs not covered by the $500. Despite the cost, Austin Smiles has had over 500 volunteers go on trips since 1988.
In addition to their out-of-pocket expenses, those who volunteer often have to take vacation or administrative leave without pay. The doctors give up the income their practices could generate in the week they are away-which can be as much as $20,000. Dr. Jim Cullington, another one of Austin Smiles' founders, says, "We're talking the best of what medicine's about. Doing it just because it's the right thing to do."
Preparations for each of the three-times-a-year trips begin two years out when Executive Director Kendyl Richards, the organization's only full-time paid staffer, and Medical Missions Director Carolyn Hardwick set the dates for the trip. At that time they begin the process of putting together the team that will go on the trip. Each trip requires four to five plastic surgeons, six to seven anesthetists, four operating room nurses, four surgical techs, three recovery room nurses, and one nurse and one family practice physician to do triage. Recently, Ms. Harwick has added Ear Nose and Throat doctors to the list. The rest of the team is made up of translators and general volunteers who hold babies, comfort families, wash and sterilize equipment, change beds, and act as general go-fers.
Ms. Hardwick also puts together the supplies required for each mission. She buys or finds donated drugs and collects open but unused medical supplies from Austin's Children's Hospital where she works part-time-in order to have time for Austin Smiles-as an emergency room nurse. (Opened but unused gloves, masks, gowns, drapes, suction tubes, sutures, etc. cost too much to reprocess for use in America, but are still usable by the doctors in El Salvador.) About 70 percent of the supplies for each mission are donated; in kind donations-medicines, professional fees, medical supplies-total about $1 million each year.
The gathered supplies for each trip are packed a month ahead of time into 26 boxes and 18 purple-and-turquoise crates. Everything the team will need in El Salvador, except for operating tables and anesthesia machines, is shipped from Austin. It's the equivalent of packing to move a large home three times a year.
In El Salvador, Austin Smiles works with La Familia (the El Salvadoran equivalent of Health and Human Services) and the military. La Familia makes sure that the 44 crates and boxes are cleared through customs and received at the military hospital in San Salvador where the surgeries take place. By the time the Austin Smiles team arrives, the military and La Familia will have publicized the visit through ads placed in newspapers and on TV and radio. The military through its bases gets the word out even in isolated villages.
The group leaves Austin on a Saturday and returns the next Friday. The doctors operate from Monday through Thursday, doing as many as 20 operations per day.
Early Monday morning potential patients are sorted by problems: cleft lips here, palates there, burns and other problems here. Though the parents wait patiently, the line is noisy. Some of the hundreds of babies scream. Doctors and translators go down the line, evaluating each patient for surgery. Some are too young. Cleft lips can be done at three months, but palates need to wait until about three years. Some are too sick. The young and the sick are sent home with the promise that "we will be back." That's one of the reasons that Austin Smiles operates primarily in El Salvador. Doctors know if they can't operate during one visit, they will be back in four months for the next.
While the plastic surgeon is evaluating patients on one level, a family practice doctor is making another kind of evaluation: Is the patient healthy enough to undergo surgery? Carolyn Hardwick says it is difficult to get good medical histories from many of these patients, but a family practice doctor is able to detect children who may not make it through safely because they have asthma, infections, or dehydration.
Once the first four patients are chosen, the action moves upstairs where three operating rooms are ready. One of the rooms has two tables in it, so four surgeries are often taking place at the same time. The rooms have been fitted with the supplies brought from Austin. Cameramen from the military are everywhere, poking their cameras from above and below, trying to capture every surgery and every emotional moment for posterity and public relations. Austin Smiles has brought a great deal of positive press to an unpopular military. For the most part, the volunteers are able to ignore the cameramen, maneuvering around them like mere pieces of furniture.
Surgeries take place one after the other, with just enough time in between to prepare the table for another patient and sterilize the equipment. It is a scene of constant motion, interrupted frequently by emotional moments. Mothers have to hand their children to strangers who, in many cases, speak a foreign language. Carolyn Hardwick says, "It's a terribly frightening thing for these parents to do. I don't know if I could just hand someone my child." And yet they do.
The babies stare with big-eyed wonder at the strange foreign-speaking adults who hold them, and the machines, lights and cameras that clutter the operating rooms. They scream and struggle when the anesthesiologist places the plastic mouthpiece over their noses and mouths. Administering anesthesia to these young patients, who often have airway problems related to their deformity, is not easy.
Dr. Wayne Porter, chief of anesthesiology at Children's Hospital in Austin, says that cleft lip and palate surgery poses special problems for an anesthesiologist. Not only are the children young-in the case of cleft lip they may be just three months old-but the anesthesiologist is dealing with the babies' airways. "You're in the middle of their airway, in the back of their throat. You're operating on it. You've got bleeding and swelling, and the airways are not all that normal to start with," he said. The challenge is even greater in El Salvador. While the military hospital is new and modern, it lacks the standard back-up equipment found in good U.S. hospitals. He says, "Everything has to go perfectly in a less than optimal circumstance.... There is very little margin for anything going wrong." Experience is essential: "If I've done tons and tons of children, but I haven't done El Salvadorian lips and palates with their anesthesia, then I'm a novice."
The doctors who go on these trips seem particularly struck by the appreciation the parents express. Their gratitude, Dr. Porter says, is in contrast to the attitude of many patients in the United States: "We expect everything to be perfect, and if it isn't, somebody has to pay. Whereas down there, they expect very little and are incredibly appreciative for what you're giving them."
The families in El Salvador are also more likely to thank God for bringing the American doctors. Even though Austin Smiles is a secular organization and its doctors reflect many different religious backgrounds, Dr. Beckham says the people "are much more open about religious things in Mexico or Central America. The modern idea here is that it must be separated, but most of them are thanking God for us being there. I respond to those things and try to continue in the fact that that's why I'm there because the Lord made it possible."
Not all the patients are children. One man with a grotesque cleft was married with five children of his own. After having his face repaired he said he would go home and kiss his wife for the first time. Another, who was 65, said that after his operation he would get himself a girlfriend-he had never had one. Another man, about 38 and with an unrepaired cleft lip, lived in a smaller village where he met a girl who loved him despite his deformity. They fell in love and married. But he stayed home in their hut while she went out to work because he was ashamed of his face. When he had his lip repaired, he was able to go out and work to support his family.
As Austin Smiles makes progress in the backlog of Salvadoreans needing this surgery, the group has begun to look at expanding to other countries. Recently, Dr. Beckham traveled to Cuba with his church to see if there might be a need for Austin Smiles in that country. He discovered few cleft lips and palates there-and enough local surgeons to do the operations. The Cuban doctors said the reason for the low incidence of clefts was the good nutrition and universal health care available to pregnant women. But one Cuban family practice doctor gave Dr. Beckham another reason: All pregnant women have a sonogram at 20 weeks, and if a cleft is discovered, they are encouraged to have an abortion. Dr. Beckham said, "They don't make them, like in China, but they encourage them, saying, 'We have food rationing and medication rationing, so why have somebody here who doesn't have a better chance of succeeding in life? Why not just abort him?'"
Austin Smiles is proving that these children can have a chance at life. Some doctors volunteer, as Pat Beckham does, out of a desire to serve the Lord: "My whole personal motivation comes out of my missionary experience. I know that 'as much as you've done it to the least of these, you've done it to me.'" Others go out of a more general humanitarian impulse: Jim Fox says, "The reward, I suppose, comes from doing what you know how to do for no other reason than the happiness of doing it for someone who couldn't get it any other way."
But both speak about the miracle of transformation: "Sometimes their mothers aren't sure it's the same kid."

If you can, move in the early day. I think it may cost a little more. But, if you still can decide, then move in as early as possible! Moving into Friley on the "main" day, is going to be a crazy. So many people, all over the place. Parking will suck and its just so crowded and busy...
Good luck on those classes. That schedule makes my freshman year schedule look like I was going into the first grade.
Oh, and figure out where your classes are before the first day. Walk around campus and see where you have to go. Don't be one of the people walking around campus lost, with their faces glued to a map, with a worried look on their face.
When Prepared, Fear No One.
You're not fat and moldy are you? See you around campus.

Dont bother moving in before 2pm if you are in Friley. Everyone tries to get there early to 'avoid the rush' when they are actually creating the big rush. No one moves in around 6pm and you should be perfectly fine!

I was fat when I was a kid and my last name is MOLDovan.. developed it as a web handle and it stuck. I'm 5'11'' 200lbs now so kinda fat lol, but im down 45 pounds since my junior year of football.

This, It is always good to be the freshman who doesn't look like a freshman. When you are walking on campus and walk past someone don't put your head down, look right at them and say hello. You will be able to see who the freshmen are by the way they don't make eye contact. I always got a kick out of that!
Last year I moved into Friley at the earliest time and I got in and out. But in about 2 hours it was mayhem everywhere.
Welcome to Friley! I'm going into my 5th year there, and it's an awesome place to live. Great location, amazing community and staff, and lots of fun stuff to do.
Yep, move-in sucks, but it sucks for everybody equally. Don't worry about planning what time to get there, just arrive as soon as you can. There are crews of upperclassmen (the Move-In Crew) that will be there helping families get moved in as quickly as possible. Look for the shirts and use them! The students and staff keep things moving along, so it shouldn't be too bad. Just be prepared for lots of stairs (unless you live on the 2nd floor).
Make sure you say 'thanks' to your family and send them home as soon as you can- the first few days before classes even start are hands-down the BEST time to make new friends. You meet nearly 6 times as many people before the first week of school as you will meet during your entire second week of classes, so take advantage of that time and have some fun with new friends!

I also remember a game with Kansas when Cy (wore a huge suit then) went out to center field, squatted, and "pooped" a couple of chickens that had been dyed blue then chased them around.

you'll love the first few days up there...
Get to know everybody who lives near you, and become friends with most of them. I lived in Friley for my freshman and sophomore year. Got to know quite a few people my freshman year, then I changed floors and didn't really meet very many people on my floor. Big mistake. Always keep your door open and meet as many people as you can.
As for school, do your homework between classes or during the day and save the evenings for socializing if possible.

That's great advice. It's a beautiful campus, but it can be tough to navigate until you locate the basic landmarks. Plan your route to make sure you get to were you need to be. Don't be one of those knobs that shows up late on the first day.
Whereabouts in NW Iowa? I'm from Spirit Lake.

text: By Jan RahnManaging Editor The tax asking for the Perkins County School District is up, but the levy is down .06 for the upcoming 2012-13 budget. In two consecutive previous years, both the levy and overall tax request were down. The newly adopted $11.1 million budget has a general fund levy of .591209 which is just over a six-cent decrease from the tax rate in last year's budget. The overall tax request is up approximately $124,000. "The goal is for revenues to match expenditures each year," said PCS Superintendent Tobin Buchanan. "With last year's levy and tax request we had to dip into cash reserves slightly." Buchanan said the state aid is down from $194,000 two years ago to $25,000 this year, a decrease of $170,000. "As a result we tried to account for that this year when setting the levy and tax request," said Buchanan. "This year's tax asking matches the amount that was requested in the 2010-11 budget two years ago. The total tax asking for the 2012-13 budget year is $4,848,484 —which is where the $124,000 increase comes in. "We continue to set our General Fund Budget close to our maximum budget authority to protect the amount of authority the district has built up over the years," said Buchanan. "This results in a budget number that is $1.5 to $2 million over what the district actually intends to spend. Buchanan explained that it's advised to take this preventative measure should the legislature decide to remove unbudgeted authority from districts that don't build it into their budget. "This could place a limit on districts who may need to use that authority in the future," he said. The district continues to aggressively grow the Special Building Fund for future land acquisition and/or construction projects. The Special Building Fund has grown to $707,070 from last year's amount of $633,446. "As most know, we are in the midst of district-wide facility study to determine district needs now and into the future," said Buchanan. "It remains our goal to have the ability to fund whatever project is decided upon without having to finance it."

However, I was unprepared for what greeted me this morning. Sure, yesterday we received an email alerting us that we generously would be having breakfast – delicious made-to-order crepes:
- Meat Crepe (ham, Swiss, tomato & herbs)
- Vegetarian Crepe (Swiss, greens, walnuts, & Roquefort cheese)
- Sweet Crepes
- Nutella, strawberry & banana
- strawberry, balsamic reduction & raspberry jam
Sigh. Decisions, decisions.
So, along with more than 100 of my colleagues, we showed up at 9AM sharp to place our orders and see who this mystery chef was.
You can imagine my surprise when I was greeted by our CEO, Alex Douzet, wearing an apron and swinging a spatula. He's French and he's full of surprises…I should have known better.
With two sous chefs, his eight year-old twin daughters Giselle and Gabriella, he swirled, cooked, flipped, and garnished crepes for the whole company for two hours.
Here's what my colleagues at TheLadders had to say:
Who knew that the "C" in CEO could stand for cook? It was the perfect kick-off to a pre-holiday weekend, and just another way that TheLadders is keeping us on-our-toes…and fueled for success.
Happy Holidays!

WASHINGTON – Ever wonder where to find the best burger when visiting a new city, or even in your hometown? Zagat created a cheat sheet for carnivores interested in finding the best of the best, USA Today reports.
In the D.C. area, the winner is Ray's Hells Burger, which recently closed two locations in Rosslyn, Va. because of a landlord-tenant dispute. You can still find the juicy treats at Ray's To The Third in Arlington, Va.
Baltimore residents should head to Linwoods, which offers "impeccable modern American cuisine" that has been "charming sophisticated diners for about a quarter-century," Zagat says.

|Daise demonstrates life-long devotion to wrestling
|Written by Darci Tomky
Whether it was pinning his opponent, coaching high school athletes or keeping the time clock, wrestling has always been a part of life for Gene Daise.
"If you enjoy it, do it!" said Daise, and from the passion evident in his voice, he certainly enjoys wrestling and has been doing it for as long as he can remember.
Daise grew up with a brother who was about one year older than him. "From the time we could walk, we were wrestling," said Daise.
He participated in both wrestling and basketball during his high school years in Kansas, but college is really where his wrestling career took off.
Daise joined the wrestling team at Colorado A&M (now Colorado State University) in Fort Collins in the 1940s.
This 5'6" tall athlete was described as a "stellar 145-pound star" by the newspapers. Among a long list of wrestling accomplishments, Daise can proudly say he lettered all four years in college and earned the title of conference champion his senior year.
"I had worked for four years to get that," he said. Daise explained he decided to switch weight classes his senior year in order to avoid wrestling an athlete from Denver who beat him the previous year. The switch did the trick, and Daise claimed first place honors. He said it was definitely the highlight of his college career.
Daise's passion for wrestling didn't stop at college competitions. No, his ambitions took him even higher—the Olympics.
Wrestling in the 136.5-pound class, Daise competed for a chance to be on the United States wrestling team for the 1948 Summer Olympic Games held in London, England.
He participated in the tryouts in the 13th District which included Colorado and four other states. His top finish there landed him a trip to the finals for the Olympic wrestling tryouts at Iowa State College in Ames, Iowa.
Olympic rules in 1948 differed from the rules Daise was used to wrestling at Colorado A&M. He explained that if a wrestler didn't win by a pin, he got a bad mark against him. "Four bad marks and you're out!" he said.
The official rules said, "The fall is the paramount objective of the game, and the contestant who gains a fall is naturally declared the better wrestler and the winner." Even if a wrestler won by a decision, he would still get a bad mark recorded against him.
Daise said with his wrestling style, he didn't win very many pins, so under these unique Olympic rules, he didn't earn a spot on the U.S. Olympic team.
Nevertheless, Daise's Olympic experience is still a highlight in his time as a competitive wrestler.
Wrestling begins at Phillips County High School
After graduating from Colorado A&M in 1950, Daise moved to Holyoke to be the Vocational Ag teacher at Phillips County High School. He left for a couple years to serve in the Korean War, returning to Holyoke in 1953.
With wrestling playing such a big role in his life, Daise also saw the need for a wrestling program at Phillips County High School. There had been some wrestling and boxing there in previous years, but it was strictly intramural. Daise spoke with Joe Lynch, the school superintendent, and he agreed with Daise that a wrestling team would be a good alternative for the boys not playing basketball.
So in the 1953-54 school year, wrestling joined football, basketball and track as an official sport at Phillips County High School.
The Nov. 26, 1953 Holyoke Enterprise reported 16 wrestlers had signed up for the team compared to the 30 boys signed up for basketball. "Daise is pretty well pleased with wrestling prospect here but says that more lightweights would improve the outlook. The squad is well supplied with heavies."
The new team would be wrestling in a five-school conference with Brush, Yuma, Sterling and Fort Morgan. "Some of the wrestlers in the other schools are experienced, but Daise is not pessimistic about his 'green' crew," reported the Enterprise. "He expects some of them to develop rapidly and to be fine competitors before the season is finished."
The Dragons' season started out pretty rough with wrestlers new to the sport facing athletes from schools much larger than Phillips County High School. But, they did improve during the season and the years to follow.
Daise explained that in the 1950s there was only one division of wrestling in the state of Colorado, so it didn't matter what size of school the wrestler was from, they were all in the same competition.
Holyoke's first state champion came in 1957 when Jim Ferguson claimed the title in the 120-pound class.
Another strong wrestler in the early years was Gary Sperber. He lost in the state championship on a split decision by the judges. Regardless, Sperber's experience as a wrestler under the coaching of Daise greatly influenced his life.
"The thing he did for me was build confidence," said Sperber. He said Daise taught him how to look in the mirror and say, "I can do it!" For him, wrestling under Daise was a "good character builder."
Even though wrestlers are part of a team, explained Sperber, they can't rely on their teammates. Daise taught him wrestling was about defending himself on the mat, and in order to do that he needed to get rid of the fear of losing in front of people. Wrestling taught Sperber an important life lesson—the choice to hold on to that fear or to embrace the positive parts of a situation.
Sperber went on to develop a deep friendship and respect for Daise and even served as a wrestling coach alongside him in Holyoke. He described Daise as having much self discipline and timeliness.
After many years of coaching, Daise continued to serve the wrestling program in Holyoke. He has helped keep score and run the clock in addition to helping with the peewee wrestling kids.
In 2005, Daise received the CADA Honor Award from the Colorado Athletic Directors Association for his outstanding community service in both football and wrestling.
Since its start in 1953, wrestling in Holyoke has progressed a great deal. Sperber said the technique has improved and the style of wrestling has drastically changed.
Regardless, wrestlers on the mat still carry the same passion that Daise had for the sport in 1953. His enthusiasm for wrestling spread and has continued through the generations.
In addition to Ferguson's state championship in 1957, other state champs from Holyoke High School include Tyler Chappell in 1998, Robbie Doman in 2001, Andrew Colglazier in 2003, Landon Bergner in 2004 and Chad Stroh 2008 and 2009. The legacy lives on over 50 years later.
Never giving up his love for the sport, Daise continues to join other Dragon fans as they cheer on the Holyoke wrestlers whether taking on their opponent at a home meet or at the state championship.

Distinguished Alum of 2012
Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary alumnus Edmund William "Bill" Hunke, Jr. was presented with the 2012 Distinguished Alumni Award at the Seminary's Arizona Campus graduation ceremony on May 26, 2012.
Hunke, a native of Taylor, Texas, earned a Bachelor of Divinity degree from Golden Gate in 1952, when the campus was located in Berkeley, California. His journey to seminary began when he accepted Jesus Christ in 1944, during World War II on a California P-38 flight line, through the personal witnessing of Clifford E. Clark, the first Home Mission Board state evangelist in California. He was baptized in the cold, melted-snow waters of the San Joaquin River. He met his future wife Naomi Ruth Savage in 1945, and they were married in 1946. She attended Golden Gate Seminary with Bill, and together they served in SBC mission work in the west for over 60 years.
"Dr. Hunke was one of the earliest graduates of Golden Gate Seminary," said President Jeff Iorg. "He has invested his
life fulfilling our mission of expanding God's kingdom around the world. It is a privilege to honor him and celebrate his many accomplishments."
During his joyful lifetime of service, Hunke was pastor of four churches in California, Utah, and Arizona, as well as serving numerous interim pastorates. He planted 14 churches in California and Arizona, plus was involved in starting more than six other churches, missions, and fellowships in Alaska during his tenure there as Executive Director.
Hunke has held many denominational positions in his career. He was the Home Mission Board's Pioneer General Missionary for Arizona (1954-56); Director of Stewardship for Baptist General Convention of Arizona (1956-58); Associate Executive Secretary and State Missions Director for Arizona Southern Baptist Convention (1958-66); Home Mission Board's architect for the formation of the Utah-Idaho Southern Baptist Convention and the Nevada Baptist Convention (1964); Executive Director of the Alaska Baptist Convention (1966-71); Chaplain (Major) for the Alaska Civil Air Patrol; Home Mission Board's Western Regional Coordinator for the Southern Baptist state conventions of California, Northwest, Hawaii, Alaska, Northern Plains, Utah-Idaho, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas and Nevada (1972-86); Director of Evangelism and Missions for the Grand Canyon Baptist Association in Arizona (1986-92); President of the Arizona Southern Baptist Historical Society (1991); and interim President of the Canadian Southern Baptist Seminary (1993).
Hunke received several degrees including a Bachelor of Theology from Pacific Bible Institute, Bachelor of Arts degree from Fresno State University, Bachelor of Divinity from Golden Gate Seminary, and a Doctor of Education from Arizona State University.
He chose to attend Golden Gate because at that time Dr. B.O. Herring was the president. Herring's son, Jack, was one of Bill's best friends growing up in Waco, Texas. "The greatest benefit of my seminary education was having the opportunity to get a quality Biblical education while pastoring in the west," said Hunke, expressing a profound appreciation for faculty members who not only taught courses, but lived exemplary lives.
He is the author of numerous articles, as well as two books: Southern Baptist Jubilee in the West (1996) and Southern Baptists in the Intermountain West, a 50-year history of Southern Baptist work in Utah, Idaho, and Nevada (1998).
"It is a real honor and blessing to be remembered and recognized," said Hunke, "especially so long after my graduation in 1952!"
Hunke lives in Sedona, Arizona. He and Naomi, who passed away two years ago, have three children and five grandchildren. Today, at 88 years old, he is helping to plant another new church in Arizona, MissionPoint Baptist Fellowship, and provides his home as the church's current place of worship. His vast Bible knowledge and love for the Lord are instrumental in nurturing and maturing Christ's disciples while continuing to share the Gospel with a lost world.

Josh Anderson Clubhouse Media Session: August 5
New Kid(s) on the Block
Newly acquired outfielder Josh Anderson spoke with the local media today for the first time since becoming a Kansas City Royal last Thursday. First and foremost was the health and status of his newly born son Easton Aaron Anderson. 'My wife and child (Easton) are healthy and doing just fine, we are very blessed to have had such a healthy baby boy born yesterday morning at 8:11 a.m. in Somerset, Kentucky." He went on to say that the name Easton is no way a reference to the sports-related brand name, nor does the middle name Aaron have anything to do with Hall of Fame great Hank Aaron.
Baseball was brought up in time and it was quickly made clear to reporters Anderson's intentions and admiration for the Royals organization (mainly GM Dayton Moore) for giving him another shot at the big leagues. "I'm just glad to part of a team again, you never know in this game, I look forward to playing hard whenever called upon and I will do my best to contribute to this wonderful organization. Being in the big leagues is a great thing. I love playing the game of baseball. I just thank Dayton Moore and the Royals for giving me a second chance and standing by my family and I while our son was being born. They gave my family and I all the time we needed to go through this wonderful experience."
Anderson was asked what his biggest asset is to the team, and where he thinks he'll contribute the most. "My speed, I steal bases, use my legs to disrupt opponents and run down balls in the outfield, that is when I am most dangerous." Royals fans, let me tell you, this gentlemen surely will not hurt the chemistry of this clubhouse, he was a class act to be around!
Manager Trey Hillman will be back for tonight's game against the Seattle Mariners, although he couldn't quite make it in time for the daily pregame media session. Hillman has been in Texas tending to family matters since Sunday night. "He is doing fine right now, we are really looking forward to having him back behind the bench tonight," said bench coach John Gibbons.
