The Reynolds Strike C Clincher Wheelset tells you exactly what its intentions are with its name -- to strike. Its carbon fiber construction lends itself directly to high levels of responsiveness, while its deep 66mm profile aids in minimizing drag. So, whether you're aiming to quickly cover ground in Zone 3, or the time has come to jump off of the front, the Strike C aid your objective with sheer speed and reactivity.
As a deeper version of the Reynolds Assault, which is a slightly heavier version of the Forty Six, the Strike's rim was also constructed from its PR3 Hybrid Carbon. As a result, the wheels tip the scales around a respectable 1680 grams. This places them just around 6 grams over the Reynolds Sixty Six clinchers, however, both wheels share a nearly identical mold, measuring out to a maximum width of 20.8mm and a rim depth of 66mm. So, while aerodynamics and stability rank rather evenly, the ride characteristics differ in response to the Strike's slightly heavier carbon layup, although the Strike still features an impressive and improved stiffness-to-weight ratio. Additionally, you'll find that the Strike controls price by opting for Reynolds Racing hubs over DT Swiss, and DT Swiss Revolution spokes instead of DT Aerolites. But, the 65 gram differential adds little to the rotational weight department. So, the wheels still roll up to speed quickly, and demand less user-force to keep them there when compared to weightier carbon clinchers.
And while the two wheels are differentiated by a few variables, both wheels are constructed with the same proprietary carbon technology, only varying in the layup. The recipe consists of three technologies -- Hybrid Modulus Laminate (HLM), Variable Resin Chemistry (VRC), and Inert Gas Compaction (IGC). Basically, these three systems work harmoniously to construct the Strike. HLM is a method used to assign specific carbons and layups at different points of the rim. So, through this method, Reynolds placed different carbons and layups at the tire channel, brake track, side wall, internal nipple bed, and spoke face. Then, with VRC, Reynolds' exclusive resins bond the different laminates into a single structure. And lastly, IGC is used to mold and cure the rim in what Reynolds deems as the most ideal of environments. As a result of this construction process, the Strike is strengthened at a strategic points, and benefits from a light overall weight. Additionally, the wheel's layup provides high levels of lateral and torsional rigidity under load.
With the Strike, Reynolds also addressed an all-too-common ailment to carbon wheels -- poor braking. The solution was found through the development of what Reynolds calls its Crynogenic Glass Transition Braking System (CTg). Essentially, this is a patented braking design that required both a redesign of the brake track laminate and pads. Accordingly, CTg uses a temperature-conductive laminate at the brake track's transition points that withstands higher levels of heat than typical carbon laminates. And when paired with Reynolds' polymer Cryo Blue brake pads, braking becomes more predictable and requires less finicky feathering on fast descents.
For the actual build, Reynolds used 16 radial-laced spokes in the front and 20 spokes in a one-cross, drive-side pattern at the rear. These have been laced to Reynolds Racing straight-pull hubs, and the wheels attach with steel-shafted quick-release skewers. Please note that while the Strike's internal nipples decrease your drag footprint, truing the wheels will require a Reynolds-specific internal spoke wrench.
The Reynolds Strike C Clincher Wheelset is available in the color Black with White labels and in a clincher configuration. Please note that the rear wheel is offered with either a Shimano or Campagnolo 11-speed. Also, every wheelset includes two pairs of Reynolds Cryo Blue Brake Pads. Reynolds recommends only using its proprietary pads, and the use of any other brake pads will result in a void of your warranty.

First, the disclosure. Yah, it's one day in the life of a young player and what BadHab witnessed today may or may not reflect anything about the future of the player(s). The BadHab was disappointed because he only witnessed some stickhandling drills, battle drills and some basic break out plays for 2 on 2 and 3 on 2's, no scrimmage to be seen. Major bummer.
They broke the camp in half, white jersies, black jersies and each group did the stickhandling drills separately. All 3 goalies stayed out the whole time.
The stickhandling drills. They use a couple of those sweethands things and the player had to skate between them and toe in backhand and foerhand. Linus, Blidh, Camara and O'Gara were the best at it. Linblad was terrible at it (knocked over the training aid more than once), as was Hargrove and Grzelcyk - or so I thought (see disclaimer), late in the stickhandling drills I noticed that Grzelcyk was only using his upper hand to stickhandle with, maybe to challenge himself extra? I don't know, but just shows to go ya, things aren't always as they appear. Interesting note on Arnesson, when he first did it, he was awful, just awful, then got his head around it to the point where 3rd time and one he was one of the best. Also interesting was that when the players who did the drill quicker caught up to the player in front of them, they just waited for the player to finish. Arnession didn't wait for a moment, but went back and did the drill again instead of just waiting. I think that's pretty positive and professional - let's not waste any time and make the most of the time. I was impressed, but your mileage may vary (see disclaimer). Another misconception, I thought Carpenter was embarrassed by his mistakes in the drill, but then I realized he had a sunburn. (see disclaimer).
Then they had a drill where they stickhandled 2 pucks at once, a basic drill I think every player has done. The goalies did the drill, too. And I was SHOCKED to see that Subban was just horrific at it. Horrible. My guess is he's never done it before and couldn't get his head around it, he hit a puck like 10 feet forward, took the other puck over to it, missed the puck, it was comical looking back at it... I was stunned because I know he played out of the net for years. And Subban was stunned, too. Obviously embarassed, he started to do a lot of stickhandling, shooting on net and etc. From that moment on in practice he started doing stickhandling drills every opportunity again. I found it kind of funny because there you had a goalie appearing in stickhandling drills every now and then. Actually, I thought it was pretty positive and showed how competetive he was by trying to master that drill. OK, and I'll beat Chowda to it, yah a goalie handling 2 pucks at once is a skill that rarely occurs in games situations and it's a pretty meaningless thing. And I'll revise that statement, to the best of my knowledge a goalie having to handle 2 pucks at once in a game has never occurred, ever in hockey at any level anywhere. Anyways, take it for what it's worth (not much or nothing), but I think it does show that he is dedicated and proud. A good thing I think.
Both white and black teams came out for the rest of the drills after making ice. Crappy ice today, but no surprise since it's 100% humidity and 125 degrees out.
Battle drill. This was a dud and they didn't do it very long. It was dumb because they had the defenseman about 10 feet in front of the forward right about at the dots. Then they would shoot the puck in coming clean off the boards just to the side of the net. Almost every time the defenseman could simply pick up the puck and escape without having to battle at all. Dumb drill. And they gave up on it quickly. This is of note because it's the first time I've seen a drill flop in dev camp. I wonder if they have had any coaching changes because this is the first time I've seen a drill flop - and the first time I have seen something stupid.
For the 2 on 2, 3 on 2 drills etc. OK, see disclaimer. It was a bad day for all the goalies (Subban, Gothberg, Morrison), they were getting lit up like Christmas trees and pinball machines combined. Or we have a bunch of snipers. If it didn't pretty much hit the goalie and it was on net, I would say 75% of those shots went in. Subban has one nice glove save.
Players that I saw with some very nice snipes, and I mean SNIPES that got the crowd to go oooohhhh! - everybody. I mean everybody, including the smallest kid at camp Fitzgerald off the wing snapped one short side on Subban off the post after giving the subtlest fake ever at passing to the center. Didn't see Griffin get one, but then they had the drill going on both ends of the ice - breaking out from one end to the other - both at the same time, so it was hard to take it all in at once. Other nice snipes that stick in my mind, Dempsey, Hargrove, Sherman, Fehrlin, Camara.
Other notes; Dempsey, as I said, some nice snipes, and he (shockingly) looks fat to me, I was thinking Stan Jonathan 70's era when the guys were packing some extra pounds.
whup! There's Subban practicing stickhandling again! (just to give you guys a taste of what it was like...)
Anyways, smallest at camp, Fitzgeral at 5'9" 170, but I would bet anything he's 160.
Grzelcek is listed at 5'9" 170, but he seems bigger, maybe 180 I would say, and wouldn't be surprised if he's grown a little taller, too.
Arnesson seems bigger than 6'2" 187, he looks like he's near 200.
O'Gara seems bigger than 6'3" 185, he looks closer to 200 also.
Same for Ferlin, listed at 6'2" 201, he looks 10 lbs bigger.
Tallest at camp is Sherman listed at 6'5" 206, he looked 10 lbs heavier, too. Also, he did pretty well at the stickhandling drills and has a (wow!) quick release. I mean wow! To the point where I was surprised by his shot a couple of times.
Other roster notes;
Blidh is pronounce "Bleed"
Subban wore number 81 (gross! reminds me of Kessel, ok you migh say Satan, but still a horrible number for a goalie)
Hargrove had number 66, I would hate that if it were me.
2 most changed players from the last time, Ferlin and Camara.
Ferlin, he's not "raw" anymore, he looks smooth out there. He's blended into the crowd more and doesn't have that pure athletic talent combined with fish out of water look anymore. Maybe a crappy description, but last time if I said who's the athletic kid from Florida with genetically built in hockey sense, you would point him out if you didn't know his name. Not so anymore.
Camara, Chowda is messing with BadHab. This is NOT the same Camara who was at camp last time. Totally different guy then last time. This is some kind of trick.
Bummed not to see a scrimmage! Or at least when I left at about 2 o'clock and had been there since 11 am, I guessed that they would skate 3 hours max, plus I had stuff to do...
No one jumped out at me as being NHL ready or *significantly* better than everyone else, but I would surprised if they didn't get a couple or 3 AHL guys at least (of course out of the guys eligible), possibly more.
Oh, and I didn't see a bad skater in the bunch, true, no skating drills, but all the same the level of skating at camp certainly has been going up year after year. And quality of players is going up year by year.

Team Wilbur's bumpy startSunday, April 11th, 2010
I should have known better. The local reporter in Frederick asks which vehicle's going to win the race and I made some joke about it not even being a race. "We're in an airplane. It won't even be close," I said. Fifteen minutes later we were searching for a replacement tire for the one that blew while we were taxiing out. And being an LSA, this was no ordinary tire. About 20 phone calls later and John Rathmell, a Remos Demo Team pilot based at Lancaster, Va., secured us tires and tubes and even flew them halfway to us.
We had two new tires on (might as well do both) about 70 minutes later and we were off for Williamsburg. Ultimately I was glad we waited. The flight was beautiful–a great introduction to aviation for Motorweek's Steve Chupnick.
Ninety minutes later we were in Williamsburg, and believe it or not, so were about a dozen folks who had waited all day for our arrival. It was a pleasant surprise.
We'll have better travels Sunday on our way to Wilmington, N.C. And who knows, maybe we'll even make an unscheduled stop or two on the way.
Guest blogger Ian J. Twombly and Motor Week's Steve Chupnick are Team Wilbur in the AOPA Fun to Fly Road and Runway Rally, traveling to Florida for Sun 'n Fun.–Jill W. Tallman

Lung cancer tracked by Internet, telecom tech
Metastases differ in danger, finds study led by San Diego, USC researchers
Using models based on the networking of websites and the transmission of digital cellphone signals, researchers are gaining new insights into the way lung cancer spreads in the body.
A new study, performed by a team including San Diego researchers, merges the seemingly disparate fields of biology and communication theory, and may lead to better treatment plans for patients.
Researchers analyzed records from lung cancer patients by adapting technology originally developed by Google and Qualcomm co-founder Andrew Viterbi.
Some parts of the body were found to be "spreaders" of metastatic lung cancer cells. Others, called "sponges," receive cancer cells but don't spread them as readily. This means some locations for metastasis are more dangerous than others.
The study was published in the journal Cancer Research on Monday. Researchers from The Scripps Research Institute, Scripps Clinic Medical Group, UCSD Moores Cancer Center, the Viterbi School of Engineering at USC and other institutions took part.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer in the United States, according to the American Lung Association. An estimated 160,000 Americans died of lung cancer last year. Once the disease spreads, the prognosis is poor.
"Generally in lung cancer, there's been a feeling that once it becomes metastatic, the seed is there, and that you don't do many localized therapies, except for palliation," said Dr. Karen Reckamp, co-director of the Lung Cancer and Thoracic Oncology Program at City of Hope in Duarte.
"This (study) means there might be reasons to do localized therapy at a metastatic site," Reckamp said.
Certain types of lung cancers are known to metastasize disproportionately, Reckamp said. The study indicates this may be true of all lung cancers, and may even be a general characteristic of metastasis, she said.
A follow-up study is examining whether the "spreader" and "sponge" finding is valid for colon cancer, said Kelly Bethel, a pathologist at Scripps Clinic Medical Group who took part in the study.
The study shows the benefits of bringing in knowledge from distant fields that appears unrelated on the surface, Bethel said.
Google's PageRank algorithm predicts which websites are most likely to contain pertinent information by examining the density of links between sites. The Viterbi Algorithm predicts the most likely path of digital wireless signals through a cellphone network. Invented by Andrew Viterbi in 1966, it is used for error correction in Qualcomm's digital wireless technology.
Paul K. Newton of USC's Viterbi School of Engineering was first author of the study, funded by the National Cancer Institute and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Peter Kuhn of TSRI was senior author.
Newton supplied insights from PageRank and the Viterbi Algorithm for the study, Bethel said. The study analyzed records of 3,827 deaths of untreated cancer patients between 1914 and 1943, including 163 lung cancer patients. This was before widespread use of radiation and chemotherapy for lung cancer. Since the patients were untreated, their records indicated the natural progression of the disease.
"We began by trying to understand the path that cancer takes as it metastasizes through the body," Bethel said. "When you die with metastatic lung cancer, you end with metastases in multiple locations throughout the body. But not everybody gets metastases in the same place. So we're trying to understand the pathways that cancer takes."
Adrenal glands are "spreaders," the study found. They are 1.91 times as likely to spread lung cancer cells as to receive them, and kidneys were 2.86 times as likely. Bone metastases were called "sponges." They are 0.75 times as likely to spread lung cancer as to receive it, meaning they are net recipients of the cells.

Portion of I-75 southbound shut down Friday night
Published: Friday, December 21, 2012 at 5:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 21, 2012 at 5:46 p.m.
The Florida Highway Patrol planned to shut down all lanes of southbound Interstate 75 around midnight tonight for several miles south of Northwest 39th Avenue for a few hours, according to the Florida Department of Transportation.
An oversize-load semi truck traveled south on the interstate around mile marker 386 but was too tall to go under the overpass on Southwest 20th Avenue, a release said.
The interstate will be closed approximately two to three hours from mile marker 390 to mile marker 387, which means vehicles will not be able to access the interstate southbound from either Newberry Road or Archer Road while the interstate is closed.
Southbound I-75 traffic will be detoured onto 39th Avenue (State Road 222/Exit 390), then east to Waldo Road, south to Williston Road and back onto I-75 at the Williston Road/I-75 interchange..
Northbound traffic on I-75 will not be affected.

With grilling season right around the corner, you may want to know how to whip up a meal to impress your friends.
A local Central Georgia man has made his mark on the grill.
Think of Myron Mixon like the Michael Jordan of basketball or the Warren Buffett of business, but Mixon's thing is whole hogs, brisket, and earning all the trophies he can across the planet in barbecue competitions.
Meat has made Myron Mixon the winningest man in barbecue, at least that's what some call him.
The fifty-year-old won Memphis in May which counts as a World Chamionship.
He did that three times and he credits it all to his family and his childhood.
"My dad barbecued ever since I was big enough to remember him, we had a carry-out in Vienna, Georgia, and he cooked once a week," Mixon recalled fondly.
Mixon holds court in his cooking school now at $750 a pop. But he started out humbly doing chores, a task that didn't make him too happy.
"My brother and I helped. We did all the work on the pits where you burn down the wood and shovel the coals. Well, that wasn't fun to me as a teenager. Everybody else was going swimming. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was learning," Mixon said.
Now he's swimming in attention.
Mixon's on the television show "BBQ Pitmasters." He has a cookbook out and he's opened a couple of restaurants in Miami and New York.
Myron's school, which got a mention in Southern Living magazine, caters to cooking teams and the everyday person who just wants a better-tasting dinner.
"Everyone loves being patted on the back, and these guys wind up being the kings and queens of their cul-de-sac, and that's what it's all about," Mixon said with a smile.
To get those bragging rights, he says don't pierce the skin of a hog, use fruit wood in your smoker, and get a hog from a farm; don't eat one you kill in the field.
But Myron's number one tip for folks involves patience.
After all this prep, let your hog, brisket, or ribs rest after they come off the grill or smoker.
"If you don't let it rest it, will suck all the natural juices back into the meat," Mixon said. "So if you go into it too fast and start plain that particular piece of meat, then you don't waste all that fine prep."
So it's come full circle for the guy who once groaned about getting out in the backyard.
"I took something that my dad showed me and taught me and made a livelihood out of it. It's something I love to do, and not many people get to make a living doing what they love and I'm one of those people," Mixon proclaimed.
Of all the 700 trophies this guy has won, including the World Championships, he says the one that meant the most to him is when he won the Big Pig Jig for the first time.
It was a year after his dad died in 1997. He said that was special.

Purchase of iOptron iEQ30 - good vs bad
Posted 25 November 2012 - 07:43 PM
Here's my dilemma. I had a stroke a few years a ago and I'm limited on what I can lift and manipulate. I'd like to get an iEQ45 w/ a C8 but I'm not sure I can handle that size. Would like to do some planetary & DSO AP.
Anyone have any thoughts on this mount?

Are you thinking about astrophotography, or just visual? If you're looking at visual alone, you might be better off getting something like the NexStar 6SE. Celestron is having a sale on them now, so they are $80 cheaper than normal.

I'm using a 6" "Baby" PowerNewt, Borg guidescope, etc (about 15 lbs, altogether) and am just getting the AP gear "debugged," but it go-to's well (even with an ES 152mm achro that I use for visual) and tracks well. Mine doesn't play nice with TheSkyX and had to give that software up...but everything else (MaxIm DL, Sky Safari, etc.) all work well. It has a very nice controller (though, at the moment, the latest two-star alignment firmware they have is messed up, and they're fixing it), and the polarscope is not quite Tak accurate, but not far off...plus it's plain simple. The built-in GPS is nice as well. The customer service is excellent.
I'm using the pier, which is a bit bulky to transport, but is easy and light to set up - never used the tripod.
If you have any particular questions, PM me, or ask away here.
Posted 25 November 2012 - 11:16 PM
I plan on doing AP.
In that case I think the iEQ30 would be a good choice and a good match for the C6. I have the iEQ45, and 30 is just a smaller version. I love it and especially love the light weight for its carrying capacity. The 30 should be quite a bit lighter and should be easy for you to handle.

I'm contemplating the purchase of iOptron iEQ30 along with a C6 OTA.

Anyone have any thoughts on this mount?
I don't have the 30 or 45 but plan to get a small AP mount in 2013. The IEQ 30 is the one I'm mainly interested in. It will be used with a pair of 80mm refractors for AP. I have an LX80 and even if it works out for beginning AP, it is just too heavy for me and my arthritic hips and knees.

Posted 27 November 2012 - 11:38 PM
I think an 8" SCT would be ok on this mount for visual use. For AP, you have to add a lot of weight with the camera, guide scope, autoguider, mounting hardware, etc. By the time you add it all up, you're probably pushing 20-25 pounds or so. For a mount that's rated at 30 pounds load, you should really only load it at 1/2 to 2/3 of that for AP use. So the iEQ30 should be at about 15-20 pounds or less for good AP performance.
Seems like you could make it work for AP with the 8" SCT, but it might be a bit on the edge. I know people who are imaging with an 8" SCT on a CG-5 and can get some reasonable results. But it will cause more frustration and you'll be throwing out more subs than if you had a higher capacity mount like the iEQ45.

Essentially, Selle Italia created a perch that will keep you comfortable when you need the softer side of firm support.
If you're wondering where this saddle falls within the SLR family, it features the same 131mm width and 275mm length as the SLR Tekno. This makes it an ideal match for those with average width sit bones. However, where the SLR Flow begins to differ is both obvious and not-so-obvious. Starting with the 'Flow' designation, you'll notice that this saddle has an amply sized cutout in order to relieve pressure on the perineal artery and adjacent soft tissue. As a result, that pressure is directed to your sit bones (ischial tuberosity), which are far more adept at supporting your body weight. Additionally, they're able to do so without causing numbness during long rides. This principle is further supported by the wide cut out, as it removes pressure from the pudendal nerve. Essentially, this is a nerve that runs from around the third vertebrae, all the way down towards your foot. And when compressed at the perineum region, it is one of the major contributors to numbness. So, by relieving the very threat of pressure, your blood flow remains consistent, eliminating numbness. To put it into perspective, the cutout is slightly narrower than the one found on the SLR Super Flow, which provides more surface area to work with.
For further distinction, the SLR Flow differs from the rest of the SLR line through its degree of padding. It's a little thicker than say the Carbonio or Team Edition Flow, but nowhere near as dense as anything in the Flite or SLS families. And along with a modest amount of padding, the saddle has been wrapped with a hard-wearing and non-abrasive leather cover. Additionally, it features the same 70/30% nylon/carbon fiber shell composition that's found throughout the SLR line of saddles.
The SLR Flow is supported by Vanox rails. They're slightly heavier than the carbon fiber rails offered on the top tier SLR offerings, but they're light enough to keep the weight at a claimed 170 grams. And despite being so light, they're plenty strong enough for off-road use.
The Selle Italia SLR Flow Saddle is available in a 131x275mm size and in the colors Black and White.

We can't stockpile the animals and if you have a harsh winter then more deer will die because they will eat all the food and more will die. Remember they cut back the last year or too so it will go back up around where they had them 5 years ago.

If these quota's do pass, Nevada's trophy quality will be absolutley non-existent as well as a large decrease in number of animals. A lot more young deer will be killed and pretty soon it will be forky's running everywhere. BAD IDEA!

Isn't NV currently in a slight drought or more? drought plus more tags?
hopefully they know more than I do.
Just hope they continue to have or increase trophy quality. When I draw a tag there I want it to be good!
Horrible, HORRIBLE idea!!! Eastern deer numbers are all ready dwindling down and now in certain units like Big 6 and 7 they want to triple tag output?!!! It is going to devastate the herds. NDOW showed promise by not allowing for doe tags, only to junior hunters. You could actually see the increase in numbers, but all that will be wasted if they agree to the tag allocation recommendations.
I read the report. Sounds like they have done their research and r confident the numbers are their. OK with the increase.
3 people on the council resigned because we have all the tree huggers having a fit with the tags. They said since the biologists are wanting this they know what is right since they study the populations every week. The good thing is that area 16 dropped some rifle tags. Can't wait to be bow hunting this year!

I don't have "much" stake in the game numbers since I don't reside in NV, but I do have an opinion. Of course I have an opinion, I currently hold points in Nevada, and therefore, I vote no increase. Let the past speak for itself, Nevada is a good "trophy" state, and past administrations working with NVDOW, performed nicely. Don't disrupt a good thing, and keep the hunters coming to Nevada,,,lets say,,,instead of Colorado! Trophy quality keeps em comin' back, not forkies. Keep a good thing goin', and yes, you cannot stockpile game, but it does increase the opportunity to "have" trophy animals available.
So I wanted to update a bit. 50%+ increase in tags this year and supposedly only for this year?! Did someone need a bonus at FnG? I hope it goes back to the way it has been. Thanx for the input Boss.
I'm not for it, how they did give me a tag this year.

I am very glad that they changed very little on the controller. The cable/television integration left me with a few questions. Does cable feed directly into the Xbox? Does the feed come from a cable set top box (redundant)? Does it require partnerships with the cable provider (I assume it does)?

I assume thats what the HDMI in is for, but youd have to have some compatibility to control whatever device is selected. Its been done before (some tivos used to have an IR blaster for it) but i dont know what theyre planning.

I have a 360, my roommate has a PS3. Even though I was a PS/PS2 guy growing up, I can't stand their controllers anymore. Hate the position of the joysticks, & they don't seem near as firm.
After living with a PS3 for over 2 years now, we've maybe watched 2 or 3 blu-ray's. I honestly don't think they're worth the extra $$$, & even if my next console has the capability I don't see myself using it much..
I think the extra features/better layout of XBox Live warrant the $35-$40 I spend on it each year. Not to mention how often PS Network seems to be "down". The clincher for me is probably the overwhelming number of my friends who play in XBox rather than PS.

|Velma 101: Biddle nears her 101st birthday, spends a day in Holyoke with friends
|Written by Jes-c Brandt
Becca Brandt, at right, shows Velma Biddle her city flag from
Girls State. Brandt's Girls State City was named the Biddle Naval
Base in honor of Biddle's service in the Navy, and the girls in the
city signed a decorated flag to present to Biddle herself.
—Enterprise photo
One of Holyoke's three centenarians, Velma Biddle, never got the 100-year birthday bash she deserved. Shortly before her birthday Aug. 8, 2009, she took a fall and has since been rehabilitating in Fort Collins.
Now Biddle is nearing her 101st birthday and is still loving life. Tuesday, July 20 she made a trip to Holyoke, where she was busy catching up with people around town at an impromptu gathering at the Vet's Hall.
In attendance were many friends from the American Legion, as well as Girls State participants Becca Brandt and Catrina Krueger.
Recently returning from Girls State, Brandt brought back a very special gift for Biddle. In 2009 the Girls State directors sought nominations for city names, meant to honor current servicewomen.
Eunice Oltjenbruns wrote a letter telling about Biddle, who was a World War II Navy WAVE. Although she is not a current servicewoman, Oltjenbruns suggested they make an exception for this exceptional woman.
Biddle's nomination was received, and a Girls State city was named "Biddle Naval Base" in her honor. While at the conference Brandt lived in the Biddle Naval Base.
Part of Girls State was a scheduled time for girls to learn about the woman their city was named for. During that time, the girls in Biddle Naval Base learned about Velma, and Brandt shared that the two of them come from the same town.
Once the girls heard about Brandt's connection to Biddle, they immediately wanted to send their regards. They prepared a belated 100th birthday card and sent it her way. Additionally, the girls voted to send their city's flag to Biddle.
On Biddle's Tuesday visit to Holyoke, Brandt gave the signed and decorated flag to Biddle on behalf of her entire city. A long time supporter of Holyoke youth and Girls and Boys State, Biddle was delighted to receive the flag, and to hear about Brandt and Krueger's experiences at Girls State.
After receiving the flag, Biddle said a few words of thanks. She commented on how the Girls State flag had many similarities to the country's flag. Both red in color, she reflected on the symbolism of sacrifice. "Yes, I am indeed honored and inspired by you, Becca, and this flag from Girls State," she said, remembering the times she saw Old Glory flying while she was in the Navy.
Continuing to address the guests, Biddle quoted Psalm 71:17-18. "Since my youth, O God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds. Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your might to all who are to come."
Biddle encouraged Brandt to keep the Girls State flag, remembering until she is old and gray herself what the flag symbolizes.
With the flag and words exchanged, Biddle and her guests spent some time looking at a couple scrapbooks Oltjenbruns had brought along. One contained records for the girls attending Girls State in the past. This brought up much discussion of Girls State memories.
The other scrapbook was a compilation of newspaper articles about Biddle herself. A number of features were included, and guests enjoyed discussing some of Biddle's previous accomplishments and their own memories of her throughout the years.
Biddle joined the chat, bringing her own memories to the table: 100 years worth. Reflecting fondly on her many years in Holyoke, Biddle said that even in her time spent living away from here, Holyoke has always been her base.
She first moved to Amherst in 1917: she was only 8 years old. In 1933 she moved to Holyoke, where she began teaching. Since then, she has spent many years in Holyoke.
In the year Biddle has been away since her fall, she's kept up with Holyoke happenings as best as she could, but there was still much to catch up on while she was in town.
Everyone at the gathering had a different relationship with Biddle. Some have been in the Auxiliary with her; others look up to her as a mentor. One guest was even a student in Biddle's class when she was still teaching. The joy was evident on Biddle's face as she heard news of friends who were there and those who were missing.
As Biddle shared the most recent update on her shoulder recovery, everyone had a laugh joking that "Velma had a screw loose," referring to a pin in her shoulder. One guest said with a laugh, Velma is a young woman, and to see her up and about, celebrating life with her friends, anyone would agree with that sentiment.
When asked about life at 100, Biddle said time just keeps passing faster and faster as she gets older. "Velma 101" is her self-proclaimed tagline for the upcoming milestone in her life. It sounds like some sort of class on basket weaving, doesn't it, Biddle said with a chuckle.
By the end of the party everyone was in high spirits. The women parted, making plans to see one another soon, and wishing Velma an early "Happy Birthday."

text: Home Politics Stop Trying to Make Condi Rice Happen The ex-secretary of state isn't a good choice for Mitt Romney's VP. Let's stop pretending that she would be. By: David Swerdlick Posted: July 18 2012 12:50 AM 0 Attila Kisbenedek/AFP/Getty Images (The Root) -- After getting hammered by the media over the last week for his failure to release multiple years of his tax returns, Mitt Romney needs to change the subject -- badly -- so by the time you read this, he may have already announced his vice presidential running mate. I don't know who it will be, but I can tell you one thing: It won't be Condoleezza Rice. Rice herself has said, "There is no way I would do this." But that hasn't stopped folks from floating her name out there as a candidate. Notwithstanding last Thursday's headline on the Drudge Report home page and Monday's Boston Herald endorsement that described Rice as a "breath of fresh air," there's no way Romney would -- or should -- consider her as a serious contender to be his VP. Rice is eloquent and statuesque and has instant name recognition. She's got Southern roots, West Coast ties and a Washington, D.C., résumé. She was national security adviser and secretary of state for President George W. Bush, has a Ph. D. in Cold War politics and speaks Russian as a bonus, which would have made her a great vice president -- in 1982. She's thought of as one of those rare above-the-fray political figures, but she'd be a terrible vice presidential pick for Romney. Why? Because her signature "achievement" in public life was co-signing Bush's 2003 invasion of Iraq -- one of the worst foreign policy blunders in American history. If she were on the Romney ticket, the Democrats' attack ads about never-found weapons of mass destruction would just about write themselves. Rice is also pro-choice in an anti-choice party that already doesn't trust Romney's conservative bona fides in light of his well-known flip-flop on the abortion issue. And Rice has never run for office before -- so that admirable "above the fray" quality would go right out the window once she did. The fact that her name keeps being mentioned as a serious contender says not much about her and much more about the politics of being on the vice presidential "short list." In theory, she gets the prestige that comes from being on that list, and Romney gets credit for including an African-American woman among the finalists, even if everyone knows she won't be the ultimate choice. In Rice's case, though, whenever she's mentioned as a possibility, it not only underscores Romney's relative lack of foreign policy chops, but it also comes off as sort of a weak-sauce attempt to showcase party diversity. Like the Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan suggesting that Rice might be the antidote to "a campaign that always threatens to take on a painful racial overlay." But while talk of Rice might help Romney with Republican-leaning voters who want to see a more moderate, inclusive GOP, her close association with the Bush years means she's no help with most African-American voters, for whom Bush remains particularly unpopular. Republicans have legitimate Asian-American stars in South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (yes, "Asian American" includes South Asian) -- and Latino stars in New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez and Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval. (Continued from Page 1) But the Republican roster of African Americans just isn't there yet. Notable figures like my The Root colleague Michael Steele, Florida Congressman Allen West, Herman Cain and Condi Rice are all different individuals with very different reputations, but they've all got at least one thing in common: minimal traction among black voters. Instead, keep your eye on the dynamic Mia Love, mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah. She's Mormon, the daughter of Haitian-American immigrants and currently vying to become the first black woman Republican member of Congress. She's got the potential to be a force in Republican politics and draw more African Americans to the conservative cause. But that's not Rice. She's a nice idea, but not a for-real candidate out on the trail. If the goal is a bigger-tent party, then Republicans' time might be better spent looking for the next Jack Kemp. The GOP's 1996 vice presidential nominee was a white guy who earned his credibility among African Americans because his interest in issues near and dear to black voters was understood to be sincere. And that credibility might be more effectively attained by fine-tuning the conservative pitch to a wider contstituency instead of grasping for a "breath of fresh air." It's true -- the GOP could use more diversity. But let's stop trying to make Condi happen and see if Republicans can do a better job of reaching out with conservative ideas.

Gov. George Ryan is cracking down on underage drinkers.
Experts say a new law could succeed at deterring young drinkers, but its bringing with it some controversy.
Under the new law which Gov. Ryan signed Tuesday, underage drinkers face tough penalties if caught, as tough as losing their license for a year.
Ryan says he hopes the law reduces the number of car accidents involving underage drinkers, but others are split in opinion.
Many teens consider it a right of passage, getting drunk in college or even high school.
But that right of passage could mean the end of another, getting behind the wheel. The new law requires local officials to notify the secretary of state when someone under 21 is caught drinking illegally or using a fake ID.
The state can then suspend the offender's driving privileges for a year. Not only that, but some experts say the law could stop addiction before it starts. Teens meanwhile are torn on whether the law is fair and more importantly will work.
The last major law that was passed regarding underage drinking was the zero tolerance law which punishes teens for driving after any amount of alcohol.
Since that went to effect there's been a 56-percent drop in arrests and fatalities related to underage drinking and driving.
Those in favor of this new law hope to see the same results.

FTR data points to improving trucking market conditions
February 02, 2011
As the economy shows some signs of improvement, the trucking market may be somewhat ahead of the curve, according to the most recent edition of the Trucking Update by FTR Associates, a freight transportation forecasting firm.
In the Trucking Update, FTR stated that its Trucking Conditions Index (TCI), which reflects tightening conditions for hauling capacity, increased to 7.1 percent in January, marking its highest recorded level during the economic recovery.
The TCI is comprised of various metrics, including capacity, fuel, bankruptcies, cost of capital, and freight.
Company officials added that the TCI is likely to increase throughout this year and may hit a new record in early 2012, noting that current readings, coupled with the forecast for the next few years, "bodes well for increased vehicle utilization and solid pricing power for carriers through the period."
"The biggest thing we are looking at is the tightening of capacity," said FTR President Eric Starks in an interview. "As CSA (Comprehensive Safety Analysis) continues to get implemented and pulls more and more drivers out of the system, it is keeping the carriers honest and pushing them to make needed changes now rather than later. It is impacting the driver pool and starting to tighten capacity. If you don't get the right driver to put into a truck, the truck gets parked and carrier networks are then not running active capacity."
Given the CSA situation, coupled with likely changes to truck driver Hours-of-Service, Starks said that capacity is likely to be tight for the balance of this year. And by the end of the year he said there will be 100 percent utilization of active vehicles in the marketplace, meaning that every available truck driver will be on the road moving freight.
This high level of equipment utilization will also drive rates up, said Starks.
Tightening capacity at the moment, said Starks, is more of an issue on the truckload side than the less-than-truckload (LTL) side, although he noted there are some signs of capacity imbalance on the LTL side but not to the level seen for truckload.
"The pressure is mainly on the truckload sector," he said. "As business activity picks up, though, we think the LTL sector will be impacted, too. The freight environment in the fourth quarter was somewhat stagnant, but as things move forward it will accelerate through this year and that is a good thing."
Another factor weighing into the overall trucking outlook is fuel, which continues to move higher and can become a negative if it is not budgeted correctly, explained Starks. And even with the noticeable progression in price increases in recent weeks, it is not a major hindrance at this point.

As this is her first loan she aims to use the loan for sanitation improvement practices by building a household latrine for the sake of her family members. This loan will allow her cover the overall costs of the construction. Thanks to the water loan program with a special rate offered by Hattha Kaksekar Limited (HKL), Noen is encouraged to focus on ensuring healthy living conditions, to safeguard the health of her family and to protect the environment.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of HKL's new water and sanitation loan program designed to help improve living standards of poor and low-income people living in Cambodia. Loans under the program are directed at various products that help improve access to clean water and improved sanitation facilities including loans for water tanks, filters, wells, distribution, and latrines. These loans help to reduce rates of waterborne disease, improve health, and increase economic outcomes for poor families. HKL has designed this social loan product to feature a lower rate than typical.
About HKLHattha Kaksekar Limited is one of the largest and most successful microfinance institutions (MFIs) in Cambodia. The organization provides microfinance services to the poor, particularly women, in urban and rural areas. Kiva lenders' funds will be used to expand the outreach of HKL's financial services to a greater number of clients in rural areas of Cambodia.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Rockland Breakwater Light
Friends of Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse PO Box 741 Rockland, ME US 04841
Rockland Breakwater Light was built in 1888 at the end of a half-mile granite breakwater. From a distance, the station looks like a house drifting out to sea, with a small beacon attached. The lighthouse is open for tours on summer weekends. It can be reached by turning onto Waldo Ave. from Route 1, then turning right on Samoset Road. The road ends at a small parking area. The Breakwater, to the left of the parking area, leads about .8 miles to the lighthouse.

Hi there,
I'm heading a big problem.
I took over a ZCS 5 Mail System. This was managed by a guy who has left the company.
I got the order to migrate to the open source ZCS 8.
The ZCS8 is running right now, but I'm not able to get the data from the old server.
I was happy to find the migration wizard within the ZCS8 admin console.
but I don't know what to enter in the "LDAP Search DB" field. I've searched about two and a half weeks now but I was unable to find anything about this migration wizard regarding LDAP....
so please help me!
I attatched the screenshots of the migration wizzard. (LDAP Server (the old zcs 5) and the respective username are known and will be inserted. Just the LDAP Search DB field is what I need to insert)

Out of all of the areas of the face, the lips are probably the most forgotten and most neglected. While we may add color and polish, we often forget to treat and protect just as we do with the rest of the face. June Jacobs Lip Products are luxurious and pampering products that get neglected lips back on the right track. Unlike the skin on the rest of the body, the lips do not contain any oil glands. This fact leaves the lips especially susceptible to drying. In some cases, the lips can become so dry that they crack and peel. June Jacobs Lip Products restore hydration to dry lips and help prevent dehydration in the future. Sore, tender and rough lips can all be restored back to health with regular use of June Jacobs Lip Products.
In addition to oil glands, the lips also lack one other important factor; natural protection against the sun. Many of us know to use sunscreen every day but we usually skip the lip area. This can lead to burning, drying and damage. June Jacobs Lip Products also offer protection against the damaging effects of the sun's rays. Incorporating June Jacobs Lip Products into your daily routine can help you achieve and maintain healthy lips.
Proper care for the lips should involve several steps; soothing, hydrating and protecting. In some cases you may choose to go a step further by exfoliating and offering your lips a specialty treatment. June Jacobs Lip Products offer full care for the most neglected area of the face.
June Jacobs Lip Renewal is a real lip saver when it comes to keeping the mouth area soft and moist. This is a lip balm that is rich in natural oils from the peach, jojoba and coconut. The formula also contains natural butters from cocoa and shea along with Vitamin E. This is a blend that is unbeatable for its hydration properties. It also offers protection against further drying and damage. Regular use of June Jacobs Lip Renewal can help reduce the appearance of lip lines which are a telltale sign of aging. June Jacobs Lip Renewal encourages a higher level of collagen which in turn results in firmer and plumper lips.
If you are dedicated to getting your lips in the best shape possible, there is no better way than with the June Jacobs Lip Kit. This is a full treatment kit that contains the Lip Scrub, a sugar based polisher that gently lifts away dead skin cells that cause roughness and peeling while rich natural oils nourish, hydrate and protect. The kit also contains the Lip Masque, a special treatment that soothes and hydrates as well as the Lip Renewal which can be used every day to keep the lips moisturized and comfortable.

According to the install docs i'm supposed to configure /boot and swap then use the remaining for /root. I really don't want to do this and would like to know exactly which mount point is the most important for storage.
A quick google search indicates /opt/zimbra is where the message store goes so my question then is are there any other important directories that need a lot of space?
my plan is:
100m /boot
8gb swap
20gb /root
then with the remaining 700gb i would mount to /opt unless there is some other directory that also will require a lot of space.
If /opt is the only thing that eats space please let me know so i can go forward with this install.

Visit to Sprint Center
A handful of us from the front office headed downtown Wednesday morning to check out the newest addition to the Kansas City family: the Sprint Center. We attended the ribbon cutting ceremony – that featured superstar Garth Brooks, a friend of the Glass family who even suited up in a Royals uniform a few Spring Trainings ago! – and we also toured the new facility, which offered some amazing views of downtown Kansas City.
Then…it was back to Kauffman where we just wrapped up our first of many Royals FanFest meetings. Not much to report yet, but once we have new info about the Jan. 19 event we'll let you know.
3 Comments
The Sprint Center looks amazing… if only we had a team to fill it.😦
It's absolutely breathtaking. It's a great time to be a Kansas Citian with Sprint Center, P&L District, and the Stadium Renovations.
I am so excited that we got a new arena in the downtown area! I can not wait until I go to an event! I would love to see some n.b.a. there someday

At a private test session, held at wakefield in March 2011, the Motor Magazine editorial staff tested the top 5 performance front wheel drive cars.
Stabilizer bars are part of a cars suspension system. They are sometimes also called anti-sway bars or anti-roll bars or sway bars. Their purpose in life is to try to keep the car's body from "rolling" in a turn.
Think about what happens to a car in a turn. If you are inside the car, you know that your body gets pulled toward the outside of the turn. The same thing is happening to all the parts of the car. So the part of the car on the outside of the turn gets pushed down toward the road and the part of the car on the inside of the turn rises up. In other words, the body of the car "rolls" 10 or 20 or 30 degrees toward the outside of the turn. If you take a turn fast enough, the tyres on the inside of the turn can actually rise off the road.

Original Article: Car Advice
Non-car enthusiasts are very confused by this question. And the fuel companies haven't helped – the number of different retail fuel products beggars belief.
In the past few years we've seen an explosion in the number of fuel products – many of which bear absolutely no resemblance to the way fuel is actually specified by car manufacturers.
Pop open the fuel flap on a contemporary car and you're likely to see "Uleaded Fuel Only" inside the flap. Other options include "Premium Unleaded Only" or "98 Octane Unleaded Only". Imagine how confusing that is when someone in an unfamiliar car pull up at a servo, next to a pump marked 'V-Power' or 'Bio e-Flex'. It can be a difficult code to crack, for the uninitiated. There are consequences – sometimes severe ones – if you get this wrong. You could easily blow up your engine, or cause thousands of dollars worth of damage.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Road Hubs in stock than that.View Similar Products
Campagnolo Record Front Hub $0.00
Take an early morning stroll through the stables of team bikes in preparation for a trip across the brutal cobblestones of Paris-Roubaix, and you'll quickly notice one hub predominantly laced to a myriad of durable alloy options: the Campagnolo Record Hub. Professional bike racers are as finicky as they are adamant that they use only the most durable, or most reliable parts. And Paris-Roubaix is of very few calendar days where even the sponsors may be damned to ensure the rider gets what he wants in order to survive. Tom Boonen is one such rider whose sponsors are forced to look the other way, as the Record hubs have long since been a sponsor-incorrect Spring Classics favorite of the Belgian champion.
Long-time Campagnolo aficionados might not recognize the subtly redesigned Record hubs, but rest assured that those changes have essentially been kept to the surface. The new hub body is slightly more angular than its predecessors, and several alloy changes in the body composition have led to a minor weight reduction as well. But as far as the internals are concerned, the Record Front Hub still comes equipped with Campagnolo's standard ball bearings; widely appreciated for their long life of smooth, and worry-free spinning. Keep in mind that if it's an even smoother spin that you crave, Campy's ceramic USB (Ultra Smooth Bearings) bearing system is available separately as an upgrade. Per their intelligent Italian design, all of Campagnolo's hubs grant easy access to the internals for regular, headache-free service and maintenance. Additionally, it's worth mentioning that they require no special wrenches for servicing either -- just another part of what makes them so popular for pro mechanics as well.
The Record Front Hub comes with Campagnolo's redesigned skewer, whose operation is based around a symmetrical fulcrum lever which maximizes clamping force with minimal effort. This hub tips the scales at 116 grams, and is available in a 32-hole drilling only.

Thursday was National Day of Prayer. A day set aside each year for people to come together and pray for the nation.
A special prayer service was held at lunch Thursday at Dumont Plaza in downtown Meridian. It's the 23rd year an event like this was held in Meridian.
"We do it because God allows us to do it," says coordinator Dorothy Lloyd, "we can come together in groups like this, we can lift up his name, we can thank him, we can pray to him, and this is a wonderful opportunity for us in the United States of America."
Similar services were held across the area and the country Thursday.

CLEVELAND (AP) — A warning to Ohio lawmakers considering voting against the governor's plan to expand Medicaid: Cover your shins.
The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/17dxgaz ) reports Gov. John Kasich (KAY'-sik) has added thrust to his pleas that legislators extend the federal-state health care program for the poor.
In a speech at the City Club of Cleveland, Kasich said legislators are of "good will." But he joked that people should "kick them in the shins" if they're not going to vote for Medicaid expansion.
Kasich's fellow Republicans control the Legislature and are preparing changes to the proposal. Many GOP lawmakers are averse to President Barack Obama's health care law, and Medicaid expansion is a key component of that.
Kasich supports expanding the program, saying it's a way to recapture Ohio taxpayers' federal money.

Towards an Open Data Center with an Interoperable Network Part II – What are we trying to fix?
Over the past several years, progressive data centers have undergone fundamental and profound architectural changes. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the data center network infrastructure. In this post, we'll take a look at some of the problems with conventional networks, and next time we'll introduce the fundamentals of an approach to deal with these issues.
Instead of under-utilized devices, multi-tier networks, and complex management environments, the modern data center is characterized by highly utilized servers running multiple VMs, flattened, lower latency networks, and automated, integrated management tools. Software defined network overlays are emerging which will greatly simplify the implementation of features such as dynamic workload provisioning, load balancing, redundant paths for high availability, and network reconfiguration. Cloud networks with multi-tenancy, resource pooling, and other features are becoming increasingly commonplace. Finally, to provide business continuity and backup/recovery of mission critical data, high bandwidth links between virtualized data center resources are extended across multiple data center locations.
Highly virtualized data centers offer greater resource utilization and lower costs. They can also simplify management if network issues such as latency, resilience, and multi-tenant support for public and private cloud environments are addressed. To realize the greatest benefits from virtualization, networks must be optimized to support high volumes of east-west traffic. This can be accomplished by flattening the network to a two-tier design, using Layer 2 domains to facilitate VM migration, and deploying network overlays to enable efficient virtual switches. While existing storage networks will likely continue in their present role for some time, the opportunity to converge networking and storage traffic is enabled by new lossless networking protocols that guarantee data frame delivery. Each of these exercises requires a non-trivial extension of the existing data network. Collectively, they present a daunting array of complex network infrastructure changes, with fundamental and far-reaching implications for the overall data center design.
The networking industry has responded to these changes with a bewildering array of standardized and proprietary solutions, making it difficult to determine the best course of action. IBM believes that the practical, cost-effective evolution of data networks must be based on open industry standards and end-to-end interoperability of multi-vendor solutions (for a few words on the importance of standards, see my last blog entry). That's why IBM has recently published a series of technical briefs, endorsed by many industry leading companies, that lay out a path towards an open data center with an interoperable network (which we'll call by its acronym ODIN….after the ruler of Asguard in ancient Norse mythology. Coincidentally, his symbol the valknut looks a bit like a 2 ties network topology).
Next time, we'll give you an overview of the first series of ODIN documents and discuss why they're important. Let me know the biggest problems in your network by responding to this post below, or for shorter problems on my Twitter feed.

Ned Yost media session: Soria, Dyson, May and computers
Yost picks Soria
Is Joakim Soria the best closer in baseball? That question was asked to Yost, who said that if someone came to him and said he could have any closer in baseball, he'd take Soria.
Showing a little power with the speed
Jarrod Dyson hit his first Major League home run last night. Dyson's ability to drive the ball isn't a complete surprise to Yost. J.J. Picollo, KC's Assistant GM for Scouting & Player Development, had told Yost that Dyson could deceive with his power. While Dyson is hitting the ball hard, he can further expand his game by bunting for base hits. Yost wants Dyson to focus on that aspect while he plays winter ball.
Yost also wants Dyson to take focus on his health this offseason through rest, nutrition and hydration. Dyson played in 71 minor league games this season and his career high is 93 games in 2008. Manager Yost wants him to be ready for the full 162-game schedule in 2011.
May continues to make progress
Rookie Lucas May is starting behind the plate again tonight. The converted catcher had some early problems with passed balls. Yost believes it was due in part to the centerfield backdrop at Kauffman Stadium. He pointed out that May did not have trouble picking the ball up on the road. Yost believes that May has a nice feel for calling the game and that he needs to work on his throwing.
A computer-savvy skipper
After today's media session, the conversation switched to Yost and his computer skills. The manager had mentioned that he would print out a list of players that will participate in winter ball. MLB.com's Dick Kaegel somewhat jokingly asked Yost if he did his own printing. Others chimed in about Yost's strong computing competency and the manager mentioned that he had built three computers from scratch. Yost thought it could take some time, but he had the first one up and running in three hours. Now Kaegel knows who he can call on if he has computer issues on the road…

May 31, 2016
A crowd of several hundred attended a community hearing about the resignation of James Reed as Meridian's police chief.
The Coalition of Community Leaders organized the meeting at Mt.Olive Missionary Baptist Church. The group says it wants answers from the city administration about why Reed stepped down recently.
Reed said he resigned for personal reasons but declined to elaborate. He did not attend the meeting Monday.
Many of those in attendance Monday night said they don't believe that's the reason Reed suddenly resigned his job. Instead, they say there is a culture of insubordination in the city's police department.
There were lots of questions posed but not many answers. One elected city official was present, Ward 4 Councilman Jesse Palmer.
The Rev. William Brown of the coalition says the meeting was a good start.
"I think that we came together as a community, said Brown. "That everybody understands that James Reed's resignation had nothing to do about certification. And something has to be done about the culture that exists there in the Meridian Police Department."
The members took down questions from those attending and said they will present them to Meridian mayor, Cheri Barry.
