If the Affordable Care Act is a government takeover of healthcare then why are health insurance company stock prices at all-time highs?

That's easy hondo. People here in west virgina are being told they work hour is being cut bu obamacare and many union minors here has been told they will pay more and get less because of obamacare. It looks like to slim that this was all a setup to screw workin folks and make insurnce companys rich.
Slim has been a democrat his whole life but he is rethinking some of this stuff.
Training on the New Enrollment Process is Available from WVAHC
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) expands health insurance coverage to virtually all Americans in two basic ways. First, many states, including West Virginia, are expanding Medicaid up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL) on January 1, 2014. The Medicaid expansion means that everyone who earns less than $15,800, who is a US citizen, who lives in West Virginia and is under age 65, is eligible for Medicaid beginning January 1, 2014. An estimated 133,500 low-income West Virginians will qualify under the Medicaid expansion. Second, subsidized private insurance plans will be available in the Health Insurance Marketplace. The subsidies for these insurance plans are available on a sliding scale to individuals and families earning between 100 percent (about $11,500 for an individual and $19,500 for a family of three) and 400 percent of the FPL (about $46,000 for an individual and $78,000 for a family of three). These policies also become effective as early as January 1, 2014. Enrollment in both the expanded Medicaid and the subsidized private insurance plans can begin on October 1, 2013.
The Offices of the Insurance Commissioner projects that over the next three years the percentage of uninsured West Virginians will be reduced by 70 percent. The current number of uninsured, 246,000, will be reduced to 76,000. Imagine 170,000 fewer uninsured West Virginians within three years.
This is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to provide health care and financial security to thousands of our neighbors, friends and colleagues. In order to take full advantage of this opportunity, WVAHC is offering a series of regional training across the state. The training is designed to develop "community assisters." The role of community assisters is to educate the public on the new insurance options and how to enroll; assist people with uncomplicated family situations to enroll in Medicaid; and to connect the uninsured to more highly trained individuals who can enroll even the most complicated situations.
If you are a FRN, CAP agency, a faith-based organization, a local health department, volunteer fire department or someone who wants to help with enrollment, you can register for any of the training sessions listed below through the web site www.enrollwv.org.
A link to a four page summary of the new insurance options and who will be involved in the new enrollment process can be found here.
This is an opportunity to improve the quality of life for thousands of West Virginians. Please join us in taking full advantage of this golden opportunity. Thanks.

Governor Tomblin Approves the Medicaid Expansion
On May 2nd, Governor Tomblin approved the Medicaid expansion clearing the way for an estimated 133,500 low-income west Virginians to become eligible for Medicaid benefits as early as January 1, 2014.
In approving the expansion, Governor Tomblin released an actuarial analysis finding that over the next ten years West Virginia would receive $5.2 billion in federal money. The Medicaid expansion would only cost the state $375 million over the same time period. Put another way, West Virginia will receive almost $14 in federal money for each dollar they invest in the Medicaid expansion over the next ten year. In fact, the federal government pays 100 percent of the expansion cost over the next three years. Over time their percentage is reduced to 90 percent but never falls below a $9 return on every $1 that the state contributes to the expansion.
Behind all these numbers are west Virginians, most of whom work but work for an employer who cannot afford to provide health insurance for their employees. They are the waitress who serves us our lunches, employees of small roofing contractors, aides in a nursing home or employees of day care centers.
Governor Tomblin deserves credit for extending health insurance coverage to these working poor individuals and families. The chart below illustrates what difference the Medicaid expansion will mean to a family of three. The current income eligibility rises from $6,000 a year to almost $27,000 a year. Please write Governor Tomblin a letter of thanks for expanding Medicaid. His address is Building 1, State Capitol Complex, Charleston, west Virginia 25305. Thank you.
Lower Costs Make for Higher Quality
The report, Lower Costs – Higher Quality, describes actions West Virginia can take to improve quality and contain costs in our health care system. This report is based on in-depth interviews conducted with thirty-three health care opinion leaders in West Virginia and is patterned on a national report prepared by the Commonwealth Fund. In the national report, heath care opinion leaders in high performing states found certain traits led to their state having a high performing health care system. These traits included:
•Strong and continuous political leadership
•Collaboration among medical provider organizations
•Data and transparency
•Healthier, better educated and a more affluent population

Health Insurance Exchanges: Better Quality with Costs Contained
Health Insurance exchanges are marketplaces where small businesses and individuals can shop for easy to understand insurance options. This one-stop shopping for health insurance holds the promise of controlling increases in costs and offering better value--for example, health insurance products with expanded wellness and chronic disease management programs.
West Virginians for Affordable Health Care has developed a four page summary, What Is an Exchange and How Will It Impact Small Businesses and Individuals, on the important decisions facing West Virginia as we begin the process of establishing our health exchanges. Families USA, a national health care research and consumer advocacy organization, has written a more extensive booklet, Implementing Health Insurance Exchanges: A Guide to State Activities and Choices. And the Commonwealth Fund as published Health Insurance Exchanges and the Affordable Care Act: Eight Difficult Issues. This report was written by Professor Timothy Jost of Washington and Lee University School of Law, and is a leading national expert on health exchanges.
The Office of the Insurance Commissioner issued a Request for Comments. In response, WVAHC drafted detail comments on who should govern the West Virginia exchange and outlining the mission of the exchange, which should be to promote the interest of consumers. These comments were endorsed by organizations representing nurses, teachers, organized labor, social workers,cancer survivors and consumes. You can read the detailed comments here.
Early Deaths: West Virginians Have Some of the Shortest Life Expectancies in the United States
West Virginians have life expectancies that are below the national average, and southern West Virginians have some of the lowest life expectancies in the country, particularly women. These are some of the findings of a report issued in September, 2008 by West Virginians for Affordable Health Care (WVAHC).

Birth Place: France
Born Gerard Xavier Marcel Depardieu on Dec. 27, 1948 in Chateauroux, France, his father, Rene, was an illiterate sheet metal worker with a fondness for alcohol, and his mother, Eliette, was "always pregnant," as he once recounted in an interview. Reared within this impoverished family, Depardieu spent a Dickensian childhood replete with brushes with the law, punctuated by bouts of violence at home and in the neighborhood. A classic juvenile delinquent, he dropped out of school at age 12 and embarked on a hitchhiking tour of Europe that found him stealing cars and selling goods on the black market. He may have been destined for a life of crime had he not discovered acting, thanks to a friend ... Continue Bio >>

Tuesday Afternoon News, Nov. 6
Body Found in Sac City Basement
SAC CITY, Iowa (AP) - Authorities say new homeowners have found what appears to be skeletal remains in the basement of a house in Sac City.
Police say the remains were found on Monday when the owners were cleaning in the basement. The remains were sent to the state medical examiner's office for an autopsy.
No other details were released. A telephone call to Sac City Police Chief John Thomsen was not returned Tuesday afternoon.
The Sac County sheriff's office and the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation are assisting in the investigation.
68,000 Absentee Ballots Not Yet Returned
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A spokesman for the Iowa secretary of state's office says about 670,000 people voted early, but roughly 68,000 absentee ballots requested by voters hadn't been turned in
by Monday night.
Spokesman Chad Olsen says the number of absentee ballots not submitted sounds like a big number, but the percentage not returned is typical of past elections.
Olsen calls it "nothing new."
He says Iowa was setting a record for early voting, with up to 45 percent of people voting outside the normal polling place.
People with absentee ballots could mail them up until Monday. Such ballots won't be counted if mailed today, but they can drop off ballots off in person.
Jackie Plantz Chosen As Employee of the Month
(Le Mars) -- The Le Mars Chamber of Commerce has selected its November employee of the month. This time the honor is awarded to Jackie Plantz of the I-M-L Containers. The nomination submitted by Debbie Gibson says Jackie was hired two years ago to handle phones and backup administrative assistant with the plan to eventually take over some of the responsibilities permanently. There were times when she had very little to do, but was asked to be patient. Being very eager, and quick to learn, Jackie was always asking for more work and the opportunity to help out. We knew then we had hired an excellent team player. Her easy going manner was a good fit for our office. Within the first year, Jackie took over all the customer service and soon after the purchasing and planning. Jackie handled the rapid company growth by always stepping up where needed and did not hesitate to work overtime to get the work done to meet our customer's needs. Our congratulations to Jackie Plantz of I-M-L Containers for being named the Chamber's employee of the month.

text: Home Politics Is the Tea Party the New Black Panther Party? As implausible as it may seem, much of the insurgent movement's rhetoric sounds like the views of Eldridge Cleaver's old gang. By: Cord Jefferson Posted: May 19 2010 6:41 AM 0 Mike Simons/Getty Images They were armed to the teeth. They were mad. They gathered at public buildings, guns tucked into their waistlines, demanding limited governmental authority and the right to self-determination. They believed the Democratic White House to be an untrustworthy, imperialistic power, one that "robbed" them under spurious circumstances. They were wary of the "Zionist media," and they loved to quote at length from America's founding documents, specifically violent, revolutionary passages like, "it is their duty, to throw off [an abusive] Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." They were members of one of the most fringe political organizations in modern American history. They were the Black Panthers. Had you anticipated Tea Partiers? As the Tea Party movement continues its steady ascent toward the mainstream, it has also begun filling out its ranks with a small but vocal cadre of African Americans. To many outsiders, this is unconscionable; how could any person of color align himself with a group whose protest signs frequently depict President Obama morphed into a primate? And yet in some ways, the coupling makes perfect sense. In January, political philosopher Noam Chomsky said in an interview about the Tea Party, "These are people with real grievances. For the past 30 years of neo-liberalism, wages for the majority have stagnated; benefits, which were never very great, have declined; working hours have shot way up; they've gone way into debt to try and preserve the consumerist lifestyle that's been rammed down their throats by the advertising industry. They're in bad shape -- not Third World-style bad shape -- but bad shape by the standards of a rich industrial country." Assuming that the Tea Party is not an inherently racist entity, as every black Tea Partier says it isn't, is it so hard to imagine that African Americans might be attracted to a group whose underlying gripe is a broken government that doesn't accurately represent its people? "First of all, the Tea Party movement is about small government and self-reliance," says Deneen Borelli, a fellow with Project 21, a network of black conservatives sponsored by the right-wing National Center for Public Policy Research. A frequent speaker at Tea Party gatherings, Borelli says the Tea Party started "because individuals felt they were not being represented by our elected officials," an impetus quite similar to those of a great many left-wing political organizations, including, ostensibly, the Black Panthers. To be sure, reconciling most of the Marxist underpinnings of the long-defunct Black Panthers with the laissez faire philosophy of the Tea Party is impossible. It's important to note, however, that the Panthers' idea of socialism was very much one of limited government intervention, at least when they were talking federally. Consider their demand that every black prisoner be released, citing the "racist" government's unfit justice system. Consider their demand for a U.N.-supervised plebiscite concerning the possibility of African-American secession (secession is also a popular Tea Party talking point). Consider Panther leader Eldridge Cleaver's declaration that "the American flag and the American eagle are the true symbols of fascism" (Tea Partiers believe the U.S. government to be fascist, too). Factual or not, many Tea Partiers believe they are in similar danger. At GunBlast.com, an online firearms publication, one Tea Party member praised his fellow Tea Partiers for marching on Washington and "proclaiming our freedoms against the current tyranny set to bankrupt our nation and take our guns." And at Patriot Depot, a Web store that sells "T.E.A: Taxed Enough Already" bumper stickers, one product description claims, "They plan to take our guns away, give more power to the federal government, and raise our taxes." It would be hard to argue that the middle-aged white males who compose much of the Tea Party have ever faced violent clashes with the police the way the Black Panthers did. But the question then becomes this: What is the difference between actually, wholly believing the government is after you and the government really being after you? According to Elaine Brown, the first female chair of the Black Panther Party, the Tea Party and the Black Panther Party are firmly incomparable,. "We considered black people to be an oppressed people," she says. "To say that a group of upper-middle-class white people -- these are the same people who would support strict immigration laws against Mexicans but not French immigrants -- are oppressed? There is no relationship ideologically." Brown says the only possible link is the Panthers' "opposition to the government," but she posits that the only reason the Tea Party is anti-government is that the government is currently being helmed by a person of color. "Their goals are not the liberation of poor and oppressed people," she says. Chris Littleton disagrees with Brown. As president of the Cincinnati Tea Party and co-founder of Tea Party coalition group the Ohio Liberty Council, Brown has been a driving force in Ohio's Tea Party operations. "For generations and generations, we've slowly let little tiny things slip away," he says. "There are now requirements from the government to control what your children eat in school. That's an obscure example, but it points out how much of everyday life they're touching now. I don't disagree that children need to eat nutritious food, but should the government be in control of personal diets of families? That stuff is intrusive; it's oppressive." Littleton argues that American prosperity has led to "entitlement" and a citizenry whose primary goal is maintaining its comfort. This stagnation, he says, has contributed to an ineffectual government muddied with special interests. "It's not a Republican-Democrat thing, because Republicans have their special interests and Democrats have their special interests," he says. "All these different things come into play so [that] we have administrators who are basically corrupt." Asked if he realizes that some of his ideas sound akin to many leftist ideologies, Littleton says, "I think the solutions I have for the problems are different from what [liberals] would do, but I think we can agree on many of the problems." In 1986, two decades after the founding of the Black Panther Party, Eldridge Cleaver turned away from his Leninist past and ran for the U.S. Senate on the Republican ticket in California. After years spent exiled in Cuba, China and other communist regimes, Cleaver had developed a new outlook on politics and power, famously declaring, "Pig power in America was infuriating. ... But pig power in the communist framework was awesome and unaccountable." Though he lost the election, Cleaver's platforms were all his own. He advocated using the private sector to eliminate poverty, said the welfare state had put blacks in a "negative relationship with the economic system," and praised the North Vietnamese communists for their "anti-big [governmental] power" stance. He had become a Black Panther whom a Tea Partier could love. "The truth is," he told Reason magazine before beginning his campaign, "is that any form of constraint on our freedoms is not acceptable."

We are using ESXi on a blade server and have installed the Zimbra appliance, OTRS appliance, File Server appliance and the LAMP appliance each on a separate VM. Our objective is to set up a mock company that would allow customers to view a website (LAMP) and submit an online ticket request (OTRS) for our services. The ticket would then be forwarded to the company email (Zimbra). We have everything setup, however, we can't quite get the Zimbra mail system to work. When we try to send mail between company emails (all internal), the mail gets deferred and is never delivered. Can anyone give us some suggestions?
If you need anymore information, please let me know. Thanks in advance!
Oh, I forgot to mention that for our DNS, we used the PDC appliance.

ATLANTA (Reuters) – A teenager abducted from her suburban Atlanta home by armed men who snatched her during a home invasion has been found alive, and two suspects have been arrested about 34 hours after the girl went missing, police said on Wednesday.
"This is a good day, a good day for the Perez family," said Clayton County Police Chief Gregory Porter. "She's safe, she's with her family."
The girl, 14-year-old Ayvani Hope Perez, appeared in good health, though she was still being evaluated, Porter told a news conference. She was found at a location in Conyers, a suburb not far from her home in Ellenwood.
Porter credited "hard-core police work" and "boots on the ground" for an end to the young kidnapping victim's ordeal.
Porter and Rick Maxwell, assistant special agent in charge of the FBI's Atlanta office, declined to answer many questions about the case and neither would discuss the circumstances of Perez's "rescue."
Porter said two suspects, including a Mexican national, were in custody. Neither of them were the two men depicted in sketches released on Tuesday of the men who had abducted the girl.
Maxwell said the men profiled in the sketches remained at large.
"We're still wrapping up the investigation, we're still in the preliminary stages," Porter said, when asked about reports that a ransom demand had been made by the kidnappers.
Two armed men initially demanded money and jewelry after breaking into the home of Perez, before dragging her away, according to the authorities.
When the girl's mother said she had nothing to give them, they kidnapped her daughter instead, pulling her out of a closet where she had been hiding with an older sibling, the police said.
The men also shot dead the family's dog, a small poodle.
Family members could not be reached for immediate comment.
Porter said more than 150 law enforcement officials, including personnel from the FBI and Georgia Bureau of Investigation, had been involved in the search for Perez and her kidnappers.

Average Customer Review: based on 1 reviews.Rating: Pinnacle 1.5mm Shadow 2 Wetsuit Review - Scuba Gear Customer Reviews
Hi, Im looking for a really flexible lightweight wetsuit for warm water swimming. How does this suit compare with the scubapro tropical 1mm steamer? Any other brand/model you can recommend? Also, any idea on sizing? Im 5 7" and about 275. My Bare Elastek 2XL 3mm fits fine, but Ive had problems with overlong torsos in some brands. Thanks!
A true multipurpose suit, the SHADOW 2 is versatile enough to be used as a warm water, a surface watersports suit, or a layering garment beneath other wetsuits or shorties, while providing thorough skin protection.
Shadow 2
• All the features of the Shadow in a new 1.5mm design with a more
stylish exterior
• 1mm thick open cell neoprene and 0.5mm exterior shell adds significant
warmth when worn alone or under a shorty or wetsuit
• Open cell interior helps to prevent internal water circulation
• 1 piece jumpsuit that can be equally effective as a tropical diving or
snorkeling wetsuit, for surface watersports, or as a layering device
beneath heavier wetsuits or shorties
• More than just a dive skin, the Shadow is an actual neoprene wetsuit
• Far warmer than a skin. When used for layering, it not only adds warmth,
but allows wetsuit to slide on more easily
• Provides complete UV protection
• Protects knees and elbows
• 1.5mm zipper flap with built-in key pocket
• Extra-long zipper leash with Velcro™ hold-down
• O-ring wrist, neck, and ankle seals
The key step to making any wetsuit perform to its ultimate potential is reducing water transfer. This process, whereby water from the diving environment enters and exits the wetsuit, allows cold water to enter the suit and lets bodywarmed water exit; thus chilling the diver, even in tropical waters. PINNACLE nearly eliminates water transfer by creating better barriers to keep cold water out, making more form-fitting products that prevent internal water movement, employing the renowned Merino™ lining system to enable body heat to warm internal water, and then making it extremely difficult for that warm water to escape.
In order to prevent water entry and egress, PINNACLE employs the latest technology in sealing systems. Features like honeycomb o-ring wrist seals, Orcaskin™ forearm gussets, smoothskin chimney seals in the ankles, roll-neck collars with smoothskin sealing surfaces, smoothskin-to-smoothskin sealing surfaces on 10mm spine pads, and the innovative Pinnacle Defense System (P.D.S.) combine in PINNACLE suits to create a significantly better water barrier than in other brands. These sealing systems work as checkpoints, neither allowing water in the suit nor out.
The second step, having a more form-fitting suit, is achieved by offering divers more choices in sizes. PINNACLE offers as many as 17 male, 12 female and 4 children's sizes in wetsuits, as well as more sizes of boots, gloves, and hoods than most other manufacturers.
PINNACLE has the ability to customize suits to some extent to fit people with more challenging shapes, but with up to 33 stock sizes, one is sure to fit almost any diver perfectly; and a tighter, better-fitting suit leaves less room for water to move, which keeps the diver warmer.

Hi all,
We are now using Zimbra as our Groupware tool of choice. We also have a fairly extensive Twiki implementation including a few Twiki applications which I've developed to simply a few inhouse processes.
I am now playing around with the Notebook and Briefcase features of Zimbra to see how we can best utilise those. My ulitmate dream would be if I could just pick up our Twiki with it's 6 different 'webs' and make those 6 shared Notebooks in Zimbra. Is this doable? Would love to hear about others experiences with migrating Twiki over to Zimbra Notebook.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Tubular Wheels in stock than that.View Similar Products
Zipp 202 Carbon Road Wheel - Tubular $0.00
We all know that a race can't be won without climbing. And when your turn comes to break off the front on a nine-percent grade, we hope that your wheels are cut out it for it. By this, we mean that your 60mm dish race wheels aren't particularly well suited for the endeavor at hand. Instead, you need low-weight, all-encompassing rigidity, and responsiveness. Basically, you need the Zipp 202 Tubular. For years, the 202 Tubular has been the wheel of choice on nearly every crucial Grand Tour climbing stage. From Huez, and even to Roubaix, the 202 has delivered podium results for those with true grit and determination. And for the latest iteration of the 202, Zipp's refined 188/V9 rear hub and more efficient spoke lacing pattern have been employed. Basically, this means the best just got even better.
To make the 202 the most decorated climbing wheel in the world, Zipp gave it one of the most efficient strength-to-weight ratios on the planet. With an intelligent unidirectional, carbon fiber layup, the 202 is rigid enough to respond directly to power. But, at a svelte 1140g set weight, they're light enough to translate that power to pure climbing prowess. Overall, the design provides responsiveness and stiffness rarely accredited to a 32mm deep wheelset. However, this isn't solely attributable to carbon fiber alone. It all comes down to the 202's toroidal rim shape.
Don't worry if you don't know what a "toroidal rim shape" is — it's been a while since our last geometry class, too. Here's an easy explanation. Whereas a traditional aluminum rim follows a "V" shape from the spokes to the rim bed, a toroidal shape follows more of a "U" shape. It sounds elementary, and perhaps a bit fussy, but the benefits are staggering. With the 202's design, Zipp is able to tune the brake track width independently of the rim's maximum width — that's why the 101 is touch narrower at the rim (22.56 to 22.61mm). Having the freedom to choose where the widest point on the rim needs to reside on the section allows the modifications necessary for Zipp to increase braking power, improve aerodynamics, and decrease crosswind sensitivity. Even today, this shape is the basis for the venerable Firecrest crest technology that's applied to Zipp's carbon lineup. Basically, all of these improvements simply make a faster, stiffer, and lighter wheel.
For the build, Zipp used its proprietary 88 hub on the front and the new 188/V9 on the rear. This new hub design has larger precision Swiss steel bearings for increased durability, and it provides an increase in lateral stiffness over its predecessor by more evenly spreading load over the axle. According to Zipp, this new bearing/cartridge system also delivers a 25% increase in torsional stiffness compared to the leading competitive hubs currently available. The wheels still receive an 18/24 Sapim X-Ray spoke configuration, but on the rear wheel, Zipp moved from a radial non-drive side and two-cross lacing drive side pattern to its new "virtual three cross" lacing configuration on both sides. Zipp uses the word "virtual" here to describe the manner in which one spoke doesn't actually contact the other two spokes it crosses. The result is a stiffer overall construction that more effectively transfers power directly to the rear wheel, which is crucial for those out-of-the-saddle sprints and climbs.
The Zipp 202 Carbon Tubular Road Wheel is available in the color Black. It's a 700c size, and it ships with your choice of a Shimano/SRAM or Campagnolo 11-speed compatible freehub body. Zipp has also provided its new Tangente Platinum Pro Evo Brake Pads. Please consult with the official Zipp website for a list of approved brake pads.
Please note that these wheels are sold individually, and that Zipp does not recommend the 202s for riders exceeding 225lb.

Novak Djokovic, who has already secured a spot in the semifinals, managed to showcase a number of his infamous personalities during the Serb's final round robin match against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga at the Masters Cup today.
Pissed-Off Nole, Skeptical Nole, Determined Nole, and just plain 'Over It' Nole all made appearances during his 1-6, 7-5, 1-6 loss, his third consecutive defeat to the Frenchie baller this fall.
Good thing the match didn't mean anything or else we might have seen No Class Nole rear his ugly head again.

Underdog No More
by Jennifer Sey
I have a new job. Same company, new role. And while there is not a lot to lose - the brand I'll be marketing is ailing (No where to go but up!) - there is a great deal to gain. I am the global marketing lead for Dockers, a brand that is suffering the pains of the country's economic woes in addition to generally not being on top of its game. I have been led to believe that I was handpicked to contribute to the task of turn around. To contribute to the business' refurbishment would be of significant benefit to the company and its employees, not to mention a boost to my career.
In my last job at LS&Co., I was no one's first choice. I was turned down after the first round of interviews and had to plead to be let back into the process. After four months of being poked, prodded and tested I was offered the role with what felt like some reluctance (but that could've been my own self-doubt after being denied initially). I didn't resent the skepticism. I'd rather come in with low expectations and exceed them. I'm a fighter. I like to disrupt others' notions – and my own – of what I'm capable of.
Valid or not, I've seen myself as an underdog my whole life. As a gymnast in the 1980's, I was no one's first pick for '86 Champ. I was relatively un-athletic compared to the Mary Lou Retton's of the world (if you saw me now you'd have no trouble believing this), I'd been severely injured on a very public stage and I was more heart than technique, some might've said. And did. But that didn't stop me from clawing my way to the first place spot, staying focused in the heat of competition when others faltered. Once I got there it was hard to maintain the mojo. I was accustomed to underdog status, fighting to prove to people that I was good enough. Once I was on top, it didn't seem there was any need to go on fighting. I lost my devotion to the sport, then promptly lost my ability. Then I retired, defeated and back to feeling like an underdog.
I'm not sure where this pervasive orientation comes from. I know to most it wouldn't appear that I am an unlikely victor. Despite expected travails, I've been successful professionally while managing to jump start a writing career mid-life. Who's the underdog there? It doesn't change the fact that that is how I've always seen myself and it's an orientation that is hard to shake whether or not it holds true anymore. Perhaps it's because I'm a Jew and that is generally how my people – at least my family members – view themselves. The Seys and Feldbaums have always liked to talk in some amount of jest about being "The Chosen" but when it comes to modern day life, they've preferred to see themselves as put upon. As martyrs waging war against those who cannot or won't accept our greatness, our Chosen status.
i can relate to this jen...you are going to rock it. and then...when it is all "cleaned up"...bring on the next one. :) i would be part of your team any day of the week...
I think you ARE pretty invincible, Jen :)
After reading your article, this question came first to mind. What does it mean to feel invincible? To feel on top of the world.
When I was younger, I just plowed through my accomplishments and set backs, without thinking much about it. As I've gotten older, it can be the self questioning that erodes my feelings of Yes! I'm invincible.
Being the underdog, keeps up the need to be perfect.
As for you Jen, Docker's or not, Jewish or not, you sound pretty kick-ass invincible to me.

WASHINGTON,D.C. (WUSA) - The holiday season can bring some unwelcome visitors: stress and depression.
And women are more likely to feel overwhelmed with the holiday gift-giving, cooking, travel and family gatherings.
Andrea McCarren found some expert advice on coping with stress.
"My husband last week celebrated his 98th birthday. Okay, so what's wrong? I am working on 99!" said Erika Axelrad.
If anyone knows how to handle stress, it's Erika and Joseph Axelrad. They've been married for 67 years. That's a lot of Thanksgivings.
"She was originally my secretary," said Joseph.
Erika interjected, "He hired me. For life!"
"I saw how she works, how she behaves, how she does, how she doesn't do," Joseph finished.
Joseph is 98 years old. Erika, a youthful 91. Their admiration is mutual.
"Fantastic intellect, the intellect, the memory. He works on it. He reads three papers every day," she said.
"I say 100% she's right, for my part," said Joseph.
Dr. Anita Gadhia-Smith says a solid relationship like theirs may well be the key to their longevity.
"It gives you someone to talk about things with, someone to share your lives, share the responsibilities. It doubles our joy and it halves the burdens," said Gadhia-Smith.
The Alelrads say, "We don't own a car anymore. We walk. We go a lot to opera, concerts, music. It helps the soul."
" I have every morning a papaya," Joseph said. Erika added, "It's not all wine and roses I can tell you. It's not."
But take it from the Axelrads. Nothing in life is perfect, but some things come pretty close.
The experts say portion control is critical to surviving the holidays-not just food and alcohol, but limiting the time you spend with difficult people.

Totally love this game. One concern, though - after playing it for a while, eventually they're gonna tell the same old stories and have the same old conversations. Now, for $5, what do I expect, right? Sure. But I would pay Real American Cash Money for more dialogue and more characters.
The extra characters wouldn't even have to play - it could be Sam stopping in to see what's going on, watching the game and commenting from the peanut gallery. Or The Cheat could drop by and fill in for Strong Bad while he goes to the bathroom. ;)
Just have fun with it! :D

WASHINGTON – The Coolidge High School principal and two other school employees face criminal charges following a fight at the school's homecoming football game.
All three women, including principal Thelma Jarrett, were charged Thursday with misdemeanor charges of simple assault and turned themselves in to police. The women have been placed on administrative leave from District of Columbia Public Schools.
According to a police report, the principal and the two other employees knocked down, punched and kicked a former school employee after the football game Nov. 2. The victim is a former coordinator at Coolidge.
Several days after the fight, the victim told WTOP that she was still in pain and afraid.
She identified her other two attackers as registrar Donna Pixley and administrative assistant Bridget Stevens.
D.C Mayor Vincent Gray Thursday called Jarrett's behavior shameful. He says it's unlikely she would be re-instated.
"What a terrible role model, if you can call it that, this demonstrates to kids who look to principals to provide leadership," Gray says. "If it's proven to be the case, it certainly looks that way, I just don't see how anybody can continue to run a school under those kind of conditions."

Sanders' mark missing from tourism pact
Had former mayor signed it, marketing imbroglio could have been avoided
The showdown between San Diego's hotel industry and Mayor Bob Filner over millions of dollars in tourism marketing funds would never have happened had former Mayor Jerry Sanders simply signed a key contract before leaving office in early December.
That document, needed before a dime of the money can be spent, spells out how San Diego's hotelier-run Tourism Marketing District is to be operated on behalf of the city.
Sanders' failure to sign the agreement ultimately set the stage for Filner to try to use the unsigned pact as leverage for extracting financial concessions from the city's hoteliers, who have control over how the money is spent to promote San Diego.
How it is that Sanders never signed the contract is not clear, with political finger pointing and confusion being more common than answers. Sanders is on an extended vacation in Italy and could not be reached.
One likely scenario is that the document was held up in the city's Purchasing and Contracting Department, even though it had been completed by the City Attorney's office and already had the required signature of the board chairman of the tourism marketing corporation.
"We wanted to get everything signed that we could," said Julie Dubick, Sanders' then chief of staff, describing the waning days of the administration. "We made requests from all parties and entities to get us documents that should be signed...
"There were no outstanding requests for signatures when Sanders' term ended. Perhaps this was believed to be pro forma and not a rush."
Whatever the reason for the oversight, the agreement sits in Filner's office, unsigned, awaiting the outcome of a court ruling later this month on whether the new mayor can be legally compelled to sign the pact by order of the City Council.
Filner has said he can broker a much better deal for the city, which he said deserves more than the $30 million a year the district is expected to generate via a 2 percent surcharge on hotel room rates. He is also pushing hotel owners to guarantee their workers higher wages and better benefits.
In the meantime, the city's tourism bureau has cancelled a $5 million summer advertising campaign, and its staff faces layoffs if funding doesn't materialize by April.
Sanders' former spokesman, Darren Pudgil, said it's unrealistic to think his administration could have foreseen the turn of events and prevented them by getting that signature.
"There's no way anyone could have predicted Mayor Filner would have held up this funding," Pudgil said. "Unfortunately, we don't have a crystal ball."
It was no secret, though, that Filner, during his mayoral campaign, had raised concerns about the legality of the hotel levy being assessed by the Tourism Marketing District, which he felt should contribute some of its revenues for public safety uses.
The city's hoteliers and tourism leaders said they were taken aback to learn in January that the contract was unsigned, assuming the documents needed to transition from the old marketing district to the new one were completed after the City Council approved the renewal in November.
"It was totally unanticipated that the agreement wouldn't be signed," said Lorin Stewart, executive director of the district. "It's safe to say we all believed it had been signed. That's because we got the signed resolutions and felt that because they were all passed at the same time that the agreement had been signed as well.
"We're not in control of the routing system at the city."
Namara Mercer, executive director of the San Diego County Hotel-Motel Association, agreed that hoteliers should not be expected to understand the inner workings of City Hall procedures.

I was lost & stopped for directions. A lady offered to lead me to my road. When we arrived she walked back to my car... in the rain! I rolled down my window & we had a nice chat. She pointed to my road & wished me a safe journey. Thank you, Lovely Lady in the silver Mercedes.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Portland Pirates were handed their worst defeat of the year on Sunday, dropping a 7-1 decision to the Providence Bruins at the Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence. The loss drops the Pirates to 4 points back of Providence for the Atlantic Division lead.
The first period was filled with penalties and the P-Bruins took advantage. Justin Florek got the opening tally with 12:37 left in the first, to get Providence on the board. Garnett Exelby was then ejected from the game after boarding Ethan Werek, giving the Pirates a 5 minute unreleasable power play. However, the Pirates were unable to capitalize on their extended power play, ending the first period 0 for 4 on the advantage. With less than 2 minutes to go in the period, and the Pirates once again on the power play, Christian Hansen slipped the puck past Pirates starter Mike Lee for the shorthanded tally and Providence has the 2-0 lead. Hansen's shorthanded tally was the 13th allowed by the Pirates this year, which leads the AHL.
Providence extended their lead early in the second. Craig Cunningham would get the power play tally 2:40 into the 2nd period, giving the Bruins a 3-0 advantage. The Pirates then responded, with Jordan Martinook getting his 4th goal of the year against the Bruins. Phil Lane and Chris Summers had the assists on Martinook's 5th of the season. In a bizarre turn of events, the second intermission started with 1:30 left in the second, as a plate of glass on the end boards came loose. After the intermission, the remaining 1:30 of the second was played with no scoring from either side, and the teams switched ends to start the third.
Providence took complete control in the third. Florek got his second of the game with 15:49 left in regulation, and Cunningham would follow with his second three minutes later. Jordan Caron would add another for the Burins with 6:43 left in the period and Cunningham would complete his hat trick with 1:04 left in the game.
The 6 goal margin of defeat is the largest that the Pirates have faced all season, and drops the Pirates to 4 points back of the Bruins for first place in the Atlantic Division. The Pirates drop to 31-20-1-2 while Mike Lee drops to 6-2-0-0, allowing 7 goals on 28 shots. The Bruins improve to 33-18-0-5.
The Pirates will stay on the road and play again on Tuesday night in Hartford against the Connecticut Whale.

I'm on board with that. Now, what are they? No slam intended, but the program companies hold all the cards, er, programs.
I wonder if sat and cable companies actually have more or less profit% today vs say ten years ago. How about 20 years ago? And 30 years ago when cable was really just getting going?

Profile: Gabriela Gomez
As a business volunteer in Mali, Ms. Gomez, worked with businesses and non-profits that were in the early stages of development. She and other Volunteers worked on establishing milestones, project development, trainings and presentations. She was also given a great deal of responsibility. In particular, she coordinated a campaign that included over 25,000 participants, and presented proposals to senior members of other international organizations and local municipalities.
"I first learned about Peace Corps as many individuals do - through television. I remember being about seven years old and seeing the advertisements on television. Specifically, seeing a man in his twenties going into a village hut."
"During my time in college, I realized I wanted to spend some time abroad. I chose Kenya because it seemed to be the region of the world that I knew about the least. While I was there, I worked with several non-profit organizations and became aware of the extreme economical divides within the culture.
I finished my schooling and returned to the U.S. Upon my return, I began to search out other international opportunities and Peace Corps was a good match with my business/non-profit background. When I applied to Peace Corps, I assumed they would send me to a Spanish-speaking country because of my heritage and my fluent Spanish. That did not turn out to be the case. Because of my prior experience in Africa, and a very small amount of French, I was sent to Mali."
"Personally, I was given the opportunity to live within a culture. I was not a tourist and I was not living in a bubble away from the community. I knew the community members and they knew me. We shared meals and laughed together, and we shared moments of sorrow and cried together. Regardless of the realities of our economic environments and our cultural differences, we came to know each other as people with specific personalities and dedications. For all the poverty I saw, I can honestly say I have never encountered a more loving and laughing culture. In addition to the memories, this was the greatest gift that Peace Corps gave to me a new way of seeing things."
"Currently, I am working as an IT systems assistant for Phillips Electronics. I am planning to attend graduate school for an M.B.A. in the near future."

Goshen Schools added to Central time resolution
GOSHEN — The Goshen School Board voted Monday evening, April 8, to add Goshen Community Schools to a list of more than 40 Indiana school systems that support observing Central Standard Time in Indiana during the winter and Central Daylight Time during the rest of the year.
Superintendent Diane Woodworth let the board know at its last meeting that the Central Time Coalition, an Indiana organization promoting Central time, had sent information to Indiana schools, asking them to sign a resolution showing support for Central time.
The resolution the board approved at its meeting Monday states that Central time and more morning sunlight would make it safer for students boarding buses and traveling to school, likely result in fewer weather delays, bring all of Indiana's counties under one time zone and reduce scheduling conflicts because of different time zones and provide more sunlight before the start of school, which "benefits learning readiness."
A few school board members stated that they were approving the resolution because of a desire to keep kids safe, but didn't think change to Central time would really reduce weather delays or impact some of those other areas.
School Board President Jane Troup explained that Goshen Community Schools would be added to a list of other school systems that have approved similar resolutions supporting Central time that the Central Time Coalition has and will use in working with the Indiana General Assembly.
Woodworth said before the board's vote, "I don't know if it would go anywhere (as far as state lawmaking), but it would show our support."

What we want to do now is extend the e-mail functionality: When creating a message, we can now enter:
What we want to do is add any custom field, for now a time field where we can enter for example 7:30.
We want this value to be passed to for example a custom header in the e-mail: X-CRM-DURATION: 450 (in minutes).
OR we want this value, together with the Message-ID (so after sending), to be passed to any remote service we supply. This could be through SOAP or whatever else we could use.
We think we can achieve this by creating a Zimlet. However, when we look around on Google, we cannot find anything regarding the adding of fields, except for it being impossible.
Does anyone have an idea on how to achieve this? Or is it just not possible?
Thanks in advance.

ROSWELL, Ga. (WXIA) -- A special member of the Roswell community took the field with the Roswell High School Hornets at their practice Monday night.
Nine-year-old Rachel Buckner surprised the team to thank them for months of their support.
At a time when most football teams are focusing on wins and losses, touchdown and tackles, Roswell head coach John Ford insists his players think beyond the field and beyond the school. The team has embraced the theme of "One Roswell, One Community, One School, One Tradition."
It's a theme that brought a team of Roswell's toughest teens together with the fourth grader who is battling Leukemia.
"In July we began to notice symptoms," said Scott Buckner, Rachel's father. "We got a call telling us that she was diagnosed with Leukemia and we had to get her to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta....It's nothing you can prepare for. It's nothing that you would ever expect to happen," Buckner said.
Rachel's sister is in the marching band at Roswell High School. Weeks after Rachel's diagnosis, her story and her love of the high school football games reached Coach John Ford.
"Football runs in the family," said Buckner.
The team immediately rallied around Rachel. In August they signed a football and sent her posters and cards. Weeks later they held a pep rally, a fund raiser and shaved their heads. In October they named Rachel the "Varsity Football Sweetheart" at the Homecoming Game.
"She's just a huge inspiration to us," said Lawson Duncan, a senior on the team.
"We're just trying to support her because she's supporting us on Friday nights," said junior, Cole Ramaker. "It makes me realize how good my life is; we take everything for granted," he said.
After four months of treatment, Rachel is in remission. She is able to return to school and even earned straight A's on her report card, but she still hadn't met the team that showed her so much support through her treatments.
Monday night she surprised the team to say thank you.
"I was very surprised that the team would do that with their time," Rachel said. "Sometimes when I have to have pricks (shots) at the clinic, I think about the people who helped to support me."
"Seeing her for the first time, it was joyful," said Chase Brewer.
"I mean, that was just a real smile and I'm sure being in hospital beds wasn't as enjoyable as she would like because she's so young and that's really not fair for her," Brewer said.
"Moments like that, you just can't put a price on it. It's just awesome," said Josh Slenda, a senior on the team. "It just really puts stuff into perspective," he said.

Two arrests have been made in what is being called one of the biggest cases of vandalism in recent years.
Police say Winston Academy in Louisville was seriously damaged early Saturday morning. Police are estimating those damages to be in the tens of thousands of dollars.
There were desks hanging from ceilings, tons of broken glass, and school trophies completely destroyed. Parents and school faculty were shocked to see the extent of the vandalism that took place early Saturday morning to Winston Academy.
A number of items reported stolen include cash, several laptops, and cell phones. Brenda sinclair, a teacher of 43 years, says she's never seen such destruction and hopes no students were involved in it.
Faculty speculate that the damage happened sometime around 2 a.m., but without an alarm system or surveillance video, authorities can't be too sure. The Louisville Police Department say there's thousands of dollars worth of damage.
School will be closed on Monday and anyone who interested in helping clean up is asked to call or stop by the school.

Hi All,
As the subject says, I have disabled AV and AS on the server (as we have very powerful services that check for every incoming mail).
The main reason for me doing this was because mail was being filtered to the Junk Mailbox. After disabling the AV and AS the Junk mail is STILL being filtered. I can only assume that this is because of rules that have been cached?
How do I clear/disable this globally ?
I am currently running Zimbra Network Edition, 8.02.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- An Augusta man jailed after police said an argument over stinky feet left his roommate with a minor wound has been acquitted.
Crawford Jackson, 62, was charged with aggravated assault after an argument over stinky feet touched off the fight.
Judge. J. David Roper issued the verdict Wednesday, clearing Jackson of the charges.
Jackson's former roommate, Darryl Harris, testified during the Richmond County Superior Court trial that Jackson poked him in the stomach several times with the blunt end of a pocket knife, breaking the skin, and that Jackson cut his hand.
However, the judge found that the knife was not used as a deadly weapon by Jackson against Harris during the June 11 altercation.

Goo Fish
It's sort of funny that it's only a "d" that separates my new book from being Goo Fish.
That's all I have to say.
Except for three more things:
Thing 1: it's available for preorder if you're the plan ahead sort. If you're more of a touchie feelie kind of person, than wait until May 1st and go and touch and feelie it at Elliott Bay Bookstore and support the little guy.
Thing 2: I dedicated the book to my Dad, my #1 fan and a reader of this blog. Go Dad!
Thing 3: An author I really respect, Brad Matsen, wrote a beautiful foreword to the book. In a strange bit of coincidence, Brad wrote a book on the Titanic (among 20 other titles) and knew about my late grandfather, Martin J. Norris (also an author), who was a maritime judge who presided over the landmark Titanic court case and ruled that, despite the sentimental nature of the tragedy, the owners of the ship had the right to salvage any worth from the wreckage when it was discovered in 1985. It's a small ocean.

Congratulations on your book. You've gotta be thrilled.
I remember when my book came out (subject: marketing for women) I was out of my mind excited. Most people haven't been through the process and so don't understand why it's such a honkin' big deal.
Seriously, kudos to you.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Sometimes we learn in life, falling short of a lofty goal has a way of working itself out for the better.
The Washington Nationals are trying to prove that theory by hiring Matt Williams as the fifth manager in team history. Williams is coming off a four-year stint as a base coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks and although not Cal Ripken Jr. on the field, the third baseman was quite accomplished with five all-star appearances.
Had the franchise met Davey Johnson's expectations, or hell, even made the playoffs in 2013, the Matt Williams hire would not have happened. Mike Rizzo would've kept the managing style the same care free approach as Johnson. Randy Knorr or Trent Jewett would've been promoted in-house, to keep the continuity and growth on track. Or Ripken would've been the choice.
But the Nationals slammed into a brick wall in 2013, and hiring from within would've left debris and shrapnel from the old era still scattered around the aura of the locker room. And Ripken was automatically ruled out because Washington hasn't proved they can handle the immense pressure and expectations he would unquestionably come with. Close to a dozen Nationals players voiced their support for Knorr to become manager. The players wanted someone they were comfortable with.
Instead, they're going to get somebody who will push them to their limits. And as Ian Desmond told Williams moments before Friday's introductory press conference, "I'd like to work a little bit harder." Williams' response? "I am all for that, man. Let's go."
There won't need to be players only meetings under the Matt Williams Nationals era. The 47-year-old has been known to throw a trashcan or two to stir up a clubhouse, a tactic I'd argue the Nats desperately needed at points during last season's often epic disaster.
Williams will entrench himself in his new ball club. And he's well trained for this position. His mentor is Dusty Baker, who he may lean in as a voice from a-far in 2014. Williams learned preparation from Buck Showlater, and how to properly manage veterans from Bob Brenly. Intense, tight-lipped, a hands on instructor and a wealth of current baseball knowledge, Williams in a sense, is the anti-Davey Johnson. Williams has a plan, which he reiterated more than once, will stress defense and base running. This kind of structure is really what the Nats need.
Gone are the stories of Stephen Strasburg getting ointment on his private parts. Gone are the days where a Nationals manager won't try and solve a problem proactively. As bad as it is for my job in the media, the Nationals business will be strictly handled inside the clubhouse. As much as we all loved Davey Johnson -- you could argue he's D.C.'s most beloved coach since Joe Gibbs -- it was unrealistic to expect Johnson to know players around the MLB. Mike Rizzo wanted to get Rafael Soriano? Sure why not, probably thought Johnson. Williams brings a close rapport with Rizzo from their days together in Arizona and will certainly have a stronger voice when it comes to how the roster shapes out.
Becoming the butt of jokes around the baseball hurt. Watching the playoffs from the couch stung even worse. Even tough 86 wins were produced, the 2013 washout of a campaign is what brings Matt Williams to town. And I don't think the Washington Nationals could have made a better hire.
