A handful of Royals players will join Reymundo on stage to entertain the crowd before singers Jay Perez and Jose, Jose wrap the festivities with back-to-back musical performances.

Shedding Light on Holiday Lights – The Garage Plan Shop
Are you planning to decorate your home, yard and garage with those old strings of incandescent lights this holiday season? According to the St. Louis County Health Department, it is time to make the switch to LED lights. Most strings of incandescent lights are wrapped with a hard plastic PVC coating, which protects the wire inside. This coating is a problem for our landfills taking up to 500 years to breakdown. In addition, PVC is heat resistant and sometimes contains metals such as lead, cadmium and tin that are harmful once they make it into the ground.
So what are the benefits of using LED lights for your holiday decorating and light displays? Consider the following facts about LED lighting as reported by the St. Louis County Health Department:
- LED lights use one tenth of the energy when compared to a traditional strand of holiday mini-lights. Using less energy means a lower electric bill.
- They last two times longer than incandescent lights – that's up to 20 years!
- LEDs can withstand, heat, cold and moisture making them ideal for outdoor displays.
- These energy efficient lights are cool to the touch reducing the risk of fire.
- The brightness of LED lights does not fade over time.
- They are durable and harder to break than traditional holiday lights.
- LEDs can be found at most home improvement centers and hardware stores.
Before you throw those old light strands in the trash, check locally for a recycling/collection program. Many hardware stores and home improvement stores offer collection programs, and some even give a discount on the purchase of new LED holiday lights for every strand of old lights you recycle.
So, be earth-friendly this holiday season and decorate your house, garage and yard with LED lights.

Packed Bed Reactor
Application ID: 238
One of the most common reactors in the chemical industry, for use in heterogeneous catalytic processes, is the packed bed reactor. This type of reactor is used both in synthesis as well as in effluent treatment and catalytic combustion.
The reactor consists in essence of a container filled with catalyst particles. These particles can be contained within a supporting structure, like tubes or channels, or they can be packed in one single compartment in the reactor.
This application presents an approach for studying coupled macro- and microscale mass balances in reactors packed with catalyst. The model requires two geometries, one for each system scale, to compute the concentration profiles of the reacting species along the packed bed reactor as well as within catalyst pellets.

|Kramer is runner-up in recycled fashion show
|Written by Jes-c Brandt
It all started when Josi Kramer was still in Jr. High. She started collecting silver gum wrappers in hope of breaking a world record. Many from her class still remember handing over gum wrappers by the package, joining in the excitement.
In two years, Kramer had amassed 10,000 gum wrappers, the number needed to earn her position in the Guinness Book of World Records. Unfortunately, Kramer's record was never acknowledged, and most simply forgot about the wrappers.
Of course, Kramer couldn't just forget about an undertaking she'd invested so much time in. This year, 1,500 gum wrappers were removed from the collection and used to create a dress. It was inspired, she said, by the gum wrapper chains she made as a child.
As a Fashion Design and Merchandising major at Colorado State University, Kramer is no stranger to designing and creating clothing. Taking classes at CSU has required her to make a number of items including jackets, pants, skirts and tops. The gum wrapper dress, however, was the first of its kind.
Kramer's gum wrapper dress was created to be shown in the CSU chapter of Fashion Group International's Recycled Fashion Show. The Recycled Fashion Show is an annual event held by the chapter in response to the recession.
Multiple categories made up the fashion show, but the category Kramer participated in required the clothes be made of recycled materials. Her shimmering gum wrapper dress earned her the runner-up title.
Other unique outfits were made from zippers, drapes, plastic cups and seatbelts, said Kramer's mother Kim who attended the fashion show with her husband Byron. Kramer's sister Kylee Gustafson was there to support her as well. Also attending was Briana Lebsack, who modeled the gum wrapper dress, and her mother Brenda.
In the last year, Kramer has been immersing herself in fashion anywhere she can find it. As a part of fashion group international, Kramer meets weekly with other members to discuss fashion shows and showcases in the Denver and Fort Collins area. Members also have the opportunity to work behind the scenes at fashion shows, usually helping dress the models.
This summer Kramer is in Dublin, Ireland for an internship at Brown Thomas, an up scale department store exclusive to Ireland. There she works in the buying department where they go to showrooms to pick the pieces they want to put in the store.
Kramer is learning a lot about the process of choosing which items will sell based on style and past sales. The experience, Kramer feels, will help her create designs that have more potential to attract buyers.
Entering her third year at CSU this fall, Kramer looks forward to drawing classes that allow her to be more creative with her designs. For Kramer, the thrill of seeing a piece constructed from start to finish will never disappear.

MANASSAS, Va. (WUSA) -- Evan James Polk, 28, is behind bars for attempting to distribute marijuana, Prince William County Police said.
On Oct. 18, detectives from Prince William and City-Manassas Park Narcotics Task Force finished an investigation about marijuana distribution in the area of Liberia Ave. and Signal Hill Road in Manassas.
Police discovered that Polk, of Truckee, Ca., was shipping marijuana for distribution from California to Prince William County. Undercover officials arranged for Polk to fly into Price William County for a drug transaction. He was immediately arrested upon arrival.
Polk was charged with three counts of possession with intent to distribute marijuana. He is being held without bond.
Nevada County Sheriff's Office in California assisted in this investigation.

11ALIVE NEWS, Atlanta
ATLANTA -- The SEC Championship game will take place between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the University of Georgia Bulldogs at the Georgia Dome Saturday at 4:00 PM.
Forty thousand fans attended the The Dr. Pepper Fanfare event in 2011. It will be at the Georgia World Congress Center in building C, and runs from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
PHOTOS | Send us your SEC spirit pictures
ESPN Gameday will be broadcasting live from Centennial Olympic Park Saturday morning.
Sixteen of the last 17 SEC Championships have sold out. Tim Cearley, director of ticket operations, said the demand for tickets this year has been "unparalleled" by previous high demand.
Forty-two thousand fans tried to buy tickets through the University of Georgia. They only had 16,000 available, with 1,500 set aside for students. Seniors with the most hours who had also attended the most games were eligible. The university also gave various alumni priority over the other tickets.
"When you've got demand at the scale we have, it's that or some kind of lottery," Cearley said.
An advisory group developed the system they used to determine which students would get priority.
Second-market ticket sellers like StubHub have been busy selling thousands of other tickets. By Friday morning, the cheapest high-altitude end zone tickets were going for $295. Expensive suite tickets that were selling for $1,200 apiece earlier in the week were sold out.
Chuck Dunlap, spokesman for the SEC, issued a warning about fake ticket sales. In past years, anything from 50 to 300 fake tickets were confiscated at the door.
This year, there will be a confirmation window set up at the Georgia Dome, so you can check before you pay for tickets. But remember, Georgia law says if you sell your ticket for more than face value, you must be at least 1,500 feet from the venue.
While they were still available as late as Wednesday, by Friday morning all Georgia Dome parking lots were sold out. MARTA will be running trains through the day Saturday, and organizers suggest you take that.
But if you still want to tailgate, you'll have to head to private lots surrounding the Dome. There are several that lines Northside Drive, but come prepared. In 2011, spots sold for $50 apiece.
The SEC had to completely change the way they prepared for the big weekend because of Thursday night's game against the Falcons. To save time, they hung SEC banners and signage up earlier in the week, and then covered them with Falcons icons until after the game.
As soon as the Falcons filed their victory against the New Orleans Saints, crews started scrubbing the field. They use a scrubber to wash the Falcons icons away and repaint the field. The first coat will be in place before the teams practice Friday afternoon. The end zones and center icon will be roped off to keep the paint fresh, and then a second coat will go on Friday night.
SEC spokesman Chuck Dunlap said fans won't notice anything different, but crews will work overtime Thursday and Friday night to make it happen.
Economic Impact
There's been a lot of talk about the economic impact of this year's SEC Championship game.
WATCH | Fans swarm to Atlanta for SEC Championship
Dunlap said downtown Atlanta hotels are sold out. While we did find a few rooms still available, hotels we checked with were at least 95% booked through the weekend.
Since only one team is from out of state, the number of long distance travelers is down. But Dunlap said they met with the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce when the concerns came up, and they don't expect a big change.
Since the game between Alabama and Georgia will determine who plays in the BCS National Championships, it's gathering more interest. They expect the economic impact to be around $27 million this year.

I haven't heard anything about Nikon and most of my scopes are nikons. Any oughts on Nikon vs the vortex? What's the difference between the vortex viper and the viper pst?
I haven't heard anything about Nikon and most of my scopes are nikons. Any oughts on Nikon vs the vortex? What's the difference between the vortex viper and the viper pst?
I have the Nikon Monarch 2.5-10, it has done great for me.
Not trying to hijack your thread, but I've been thinking of getting a new scope myself. Vortex seems to be the brand to watch.
I was wondering about the durability of the Vortex, anyone have an older model that has stood the test of time?
I have had a couple Vortex Scopes that have held up under heavy shooting volume for three years, if that counts.
I also read a review where an engineering minded guy made a recoil sled and subjected a number of different scopes to repeated impacts until failure. I believe the scope that withstood the most impacts was a first-gen Viper. Maybe I can dig that article up.
The only dirt i can throw on the vortex scopes is my buddy had one of the 1st ones that came out, it was a 1/8 moa turret adjustment scope, the only issue was the adjustments were so fine sometimes the recoil of his 7mm would move the turret a couple of clicks. Stay away from the 1/8 moa ( if they still even make them) and you should be fine.
Sound like a pretty good track record so far. I'll definitely have to give them a look. I've already been sold on the new Vortex spotter coming out!
Watch camera land ny, they have great deals for open box items from the shows this time of year.
For 500 range, don't overlook the zeiss Conquest with the rapid z 600 or 800. That is my personal favorite for that price range and quality. In my humble opinion, it is better glass than the vortex, Nikon and even Leupold in the same price range. Just watch for the smoking deals to get a 800 scope in the 500 range from Cameraland ny...
Scopes are like trucks....everybody likes a different type. First thing I would do is spend the most you can afford. There are a lot of great suggestions here.
I have shot Leupolds for 30 years and like them very much. That being said, I only have VXIII's and am happy with them all. One thing about Leupold, if you even think you have a problem with one, send it back and they will go over it and return it ....no charge. All you have to do is call them and send it back. My Dad had a 6x on his 30-06 and dropped the rifle on the scope and broke the lens. The sent him a new scope....no charge. They really didn't have to do that, but after calling my Dad and listening to him, he got it.
Their customer service is excellent.
I do use other optics too. My bino/range finder combo is a Swaro and it is unbelievable. My point is quality usually come at a price!

In Brief
News highlights from around the world
"In Brief" Continued...
Turned around
We have some very angry children. One was like a bull breathing out. He had been expelled for fighting. We get wallflower children. Or we get children who are aggressive verbally."
Marilyn Anderson, founder of Gateway School in Anchorage, Alaska, was talking about kids in her school who have spent years failing in their major elementary task: learning to read. Gateway, a school for dyslexic children, is a rarity in the world of Christian education, where many schools do not work with children who have special needs.
Although Gateway accepts students at age 6, its average student age is 12½. The gap reflects years of waiting on the part of parents hoping that each year will bring success in a traditional school. For many bright dyslexic students the gap represents years of feeling dumb and being placed in public-school special-education classes with children who have mild brain damage or emotional difficulties.
Dyslexia is a brain processing disorder that makes it difficult for kids to perform many language-based skills. When Marilyn Anderson taught in Christian schools in the 1970s, she says, many teachers didn't understand dyslexia and assumed it reflected laziness or poor habits. "I saw teachers chide parents," she said. They'd tell them their children "needed to work harder, they needed to behave."
Other schoolteachers, not knowing what to do, often did the wrong thing. "They gave sympathy rather than compassion," Mrs. Anderson said. "Instead of teaching a child the way he needed to learn, they reduced expectations."
In 1983 Mrs. Anderson started Gateway School in her basement with seven students. Nancy K. Smith, a nurse who had a son with severe dyslexia, joined her in 1986. Later Bev Lau, who is now director of the school, joined the effort.
From the beginning Gateway offered a rigorous curriculum but tailored it to meet the needs of individual students: Gateway teachers learn to "teach to the individual, not the curriculum." Last year the school had 36 students, with three full-time teachers and several part-time ones. Children are grouped by reading level, not age. Small classes and individualized tutoring are costly but key components of the school. Gateway uses a reading method called Slingerland, named after Beth Slingerland, who adapted the Orton-Gillingham reading method to classroom use. It is a multi-sensory method that engages at the same time a student's visual, auditory, verbal, and kinesthetic ways of learning. Teachers introduce words and consonants in sequence. Students are taught to see the letter or word, say it, and use their sense of touch to form it.
Mrs. Smith tests potential students to see if they are dyslexic or have some other problem like fetal alcohol syndrome or autism: "If I find that there is a flat line, then there are other problems going on. If there are peaks and valleys, strengths and weaknesses, that's a dyslexic mind."
Some students have social strengths that help them deal with dyslexia, but others dig themselves into deep behavioral holes. That's why the school sets strict behavior guidelines, while recognizing that many children are coming to the school after years of failure. "If we can teach them, if they begin to learn, the behavior stops," Mrs. Anderson said.
Gateway is expensive to operate because of its small classes, low teacher-student ratio, and extensive teacher training and monitoring. Its tuition is $7,000, about $3,000 more than the typical Anchorage Christian school; Gateway receives no support from a denomination or local church. Rising tuition has placed the school out of reach for many families, but overall demand from Christian and non-Christian parents remains high.
Meanwhile, Gateway's mission statement is clear: "Gateway School and Learning Center is committed to high quality education from a Christian perspective for students with dyslexia." Students, as Mrs. Anderson notes, "come knowing that we pray every morning. And that we are going to talk about God as a reality of our school." | Susan Olasky
Some of the worst junk e-mail doesn't come from scam artists selling quack medicine, get-rich schemes, and cut-rate vacations. It comes from friends and family.
A Silicon Valley computer-security company called SurfControl released a study that concluded friendly junk e-mail distracts people from work, eats up computer resources, and wastes company time.
The survey conducted by Market Facts found that workers with Internet access get up to 30 such e-mails per week. SurfControl claims this is far greater than the amount of junk marketing mail flowing through servers. The research firm also claims each piece of unwanted mail wastes $1 in lost productivity, including reading, deleting, computer maintenance, and distraction from more profitable activities.
Part of the problem is that junk mail increasingly includes sound files and graphics that eat up disk space. Sometimes friendly mail can unwittingly carry viruses that can take down a computer network. Many companies have policies explicitly discouraging non-work use of their networks, but those can be hard to enforce.
Prince and the revolution
Tausha Prince is a junior in college now, and her high-school Bible group, called the World Changers, has dissolved. But last week, it changed the world a little.
A federal appeals court last week ruled that the Bethel School District in Washington State violated Miss Prince's rights in 1997 by refusing her group the same status granted to other groups.
Miss Prince was in the 10th grade when the controversy started. School officials said her club could not have access to funds given to other clubs. They barred the group from making announcements over the school's PA system and restricted its fliers to one bulletin board. The district argued that recognizing the club would "destroy the careful balance between the free speech and establishment clauses of the First Amendment."
But Miss Prince's attorneys argued that her own First Amendment rights were violated, and that if the school accepts one sort of "noncurriculum" club, it must accept others. Originally, U.S. District Judge Franklin D. Burgess dismissed the complaint on summary judgment. But two members of a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in Miss Prince's favor, with one judge partially dissenting.
WCC: World Council in Crisis
We are in a crisis," intoned Catholicos Aram I, moderator of the World Council of Churches' Central Committee, in the final hours this month of the governing body's 10-day meeting in Geneva. WCC financial officers had reported a shortfall of nearly $4 million in income in 2001, and the WCC had exhausted all its reserves. To cope, the committee agreed to cut programs and staff quickly, approve a $3.5 million contingency mortgage against the WCC's property, and slash the 2003 budget of $32 million by at least $5 million.
The committee also addressed another thorny issue: how to keep its remaining 20 or so Orthodox bodies in the fold. The Orthodox have long chafed at domination of the WCC's theology, worship styles, social-action agenda, and decision-making processes by mostly liberal Protestants. The Orthodox communions in Bulgaria and the Republic of Georgia bolted earlier, and others have been threatening to walk.
Responding to a special commission's recommendations, the committee agreed to replace the WCC's parliamentary voting procedure in decision making with a consensus method. Fewer controversial actions and pronouncements should be one of the results. Also, the committee agreed to drop "ecumenical worship" from its terminology (the Orthodox complained it suggested an accord in doctrine and liturgy that doesn't exist).
Not all committee members were happy with the changes. And some women clergy saw the revised approach to common worship as partly an unnecessary accommodation of Orthodox opposition to women's ordination. Lutheran bishop Margot Kaessmann, a Central Committee member from Germany since 1983, went home in a huff and resigned from the committee. (The German churches account for one-third of the WCC's income.)
Cleaning house
Philadelphia pastor William Shaw was elected three years ago to the presidency of the National Baptist Convention U.S.A., reputedly America's largest predominantly black denomination, on a reform ticket. (The NBCUSA had been tarnished by sexual and financial scandals of its previous president, Florida pastor Henry Lyons. He is serving a five-year term in a Florida prison following his 1999 conviction on charges of embezzlement and theft.)
At this year's convention, which brought an estimated 30,000 churchgoers to Philadelphia, Rev. Shaw showcased some of his reforms so far. Among them: an overhaul of the constitution that reduces the power of the president and increases his accountability; payoff of the mortgage on the NBCUSA's lavish but under-used headquarters building in Nashville-it stood at $3 million in 1999 and in danger of foreclosure despite numerous unaudited funding drives; tighter financial controls; a clergy retirement and benefits plan; research to determine total NBCUSA membership more accurately (preliminary "extrapolation" of figures suggests about 7.5 million-still an inflated figure by some accounts).
Rev. Shaw said much of his work so far has just been "rubbish clearing ... so that we can get to the main task: centering ourselves in Christ."
Man knows not his time
Steven Snyder, president of Washington-based International Christian Concern, who gained prominence from Indonesia to Pakistan and Sudan for his forays into religious conflict and for provocative lobbying on behalf of the persecuted, died in a Baltimore hospital of a bacterial blood infection on Aug. 27. He was 53.
Silber's shot across the bow
Boston University Chancellor John Silber came back from a six-year hiatus from running the day-to-day operations of the school and promptly jumped into a culture war. He shut down a homosexual support group at a prep school run by the university.
The neoconservative gadfly and former Democratic gubernatorial candidate in Massachusetts complained that the program encourages kids to have sex outside of marriage. "We're not running a program in sex education," Mr. Silber told The Boston Globe. "If they want that kind of program, they can go to Newton High School. They can go to public school and learn how to put a condom over a banana."
The school involved in the controversy is the BU Academy, which includes grades 8 to 12. The school boasts some of the highest SAT scores in the country.
Mr. Silber lamented that kids have sexual messages "pounded" into them "from the time they're 6 years of age." He told the paper that troubled students should consult teachers instead of a support group, and he objected to the politicization of sexuality. "It's none of my business," he said. "So don't make it my business by insisting on rubbing my nose in whatever your preference is, because I don't want to know."
The support group's defenders claim they protect kids from being threatened and harassed by others. Kevin Jennings, executive director of the New York-based Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, murmured about Mr. Silber violating federal equal access laws. "Certainly he's violating the spirit of the law and we're looking at whether he's violating the letter of the law," he said. But some parents objected that such groups encourage kids to experiment sexually.
Mr. Silber won the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in 1990 (some called him a Reagan Democrat) but lost to Republican William Weld in the general election. He became known nationally for his outspoken style and fiery temper. | Chris Stamper
Hoosier hooch
Indiana University is America's top school. Top party school, that is, according to rankings by the Princeton Review.
Every year, tens of thousands of students fill out surveys for the New Jersey company, which is best known for test preparation. The company bases the party school label on reports of alcohol and marijuana use, the popularity of fraternities and sororities, and how much time students spend studying outside of class. The company includes the controversial list in its popular Best Colleges guide.
The American Medical Association is the list's most prominent critic, claiming it legitimizes alcohol abuse on campus. "Students who are looking for little more than a good time may be influenced by this ranking, and the 'party school' designation becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy," said the AMA's Richard Yost.
Topping this year's party school list are Indiana, Clemson University, the University of Alabama-Tuscaloosa, Pennsylvania State University, and the University of Florida.
Endangered exemption
The clergy's tax-exempt housing allowance under the U.S. tax code is safe-for now. But stay tuned.
A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco late last month dismissed a high-profile case involving Southern California megachurch pastor Rick Warren, a Southern Baptist. Rev. Warren had sued the Internal Revenue Service after the IRS rejected his $80,000 claim as a housing allowance. The IRS argued that only the fair-market rental value of a minister's home is exempt; Rev. Warren contended all costs related to clergy housing are exempt.
Instead of ruling on the case's merits, the panel initially decided to explore whether the religion-based exemption itself violates the Constitution's Establishment Clause. It asked Southern California University law professor Erwin Chermerinsky to file a friend-of-court brief on its legality.
Alarmed, Congress hurriedly enacted legislation in May to strengthen the exemption in law. And to head off the court's intervention, both Rev. Warren and the IRS, joined by the Justice Department, asked that the case be dismissed.
Wanting to keep the constitutional question alive, Prof. Chermerinsky opposed the motion for dismissal. But in its decision last month, the court said he hadn't established grounds for continuing in the case. However, the panel suggested he could now file his own separate lawsuit as a taxpayer questioning the exemption's constitutionality.
Prof. Chermerinsky told reporters he will do just that.
Plans aborted
A Roman Catholic church in Medicine Hat, Alberta, canceled the long-planned wedding ceremony this month of Celina Ling and her non-Catholic fiancé three days after a newspaper article appeared, quoting her as an employee of Planned Parenthood.
Angry and "devastated," Miss Ling took her story to the media. She said she had confirmed the wedding plans with church officials nine months ago, paid a deposit, and completed mandatory marriage preparation classes. She said she had told Rev. John Maes, the parish priest, that she worked for Planned Parenthood, and he said nothing about it.
Rev. Maes says he doesn't recall being told, and declines to comment further. But Bishop Fred Henry in Alberta stood behind his priest. A Catholic can be forgiven for having an abortion, he said, but cannot publicly favor abortion and work for a pro-abortion organization without risking excommunication. There's no "wiggle room" on the abortion issue in the Catholic Church, he declared.
Forgiveness is available to those who are repentant, the bishop said, "but it's hard to construe of anybody being penitent when they run to the media and try and politicize the issue."
Rated 'E'
Korey Smitheram wants to cut the sex, violence, and bad language from films sold in his video stores-and his customers, obviously, appreciate it. So when he got wind of a possible lawsuit from film directors, he filed suit first, asking a federal judge to affirm his right to edit his movies.
Mr. Smitheram and two partners own Clean Flicks of Colorado, a franchise of Utah-based Clean Flicks (a chain with 70 stores nationwide and an online rental "cooperative" at mycleanflicks.com). He noticed on the website of the Directors Guild of America that movie directors planned to seek a court injunction against his livelihood. Directors Guild spokesman Andrew Levy said the guild has taken no legal action and that the information should not have been posted on the website.
Clean Flicks spokesman Pete Webb said that movies are edited "to remove the 'rough edges'-the objectionable content-only for the family viewing audience.... [They] appreciate the story line or historical context, and want to be able to view the movie, without having to listen to the 'F' word."
Clean Flicks calls its movies "E-rated," meaning edited for content. Editors mute offensive language on the soundtrack, and splice out sexual and violent scenes. In The Patriot, for example, one scene shows a cannonball blowing a man's head off. This is typical of the content that is cut from Clean Flicks tapes, according to Steve Taylor, owner of a Clean Flicks store in Ames, Iowa. Movies like Traffic, True Lies, Twister, and Saving Private Ryan are among the 350 titles sold there.

Detroit, MI (SportsNetwork.com) - Gustav Nyquist scored twice as the Detroit
Red Wings snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 4-3 win over the Carolina
Hurricanes on Thursday.
Niklas Kronwall and Darren Helm also lit the lamp for the Red Wings, who
snapped their longest losing streak in close to 23 years.
It was the first time Detroit suffered through a stretch like that since Jan.
14-30, 1991. Also, the team broke an eight-game home losing streak, which was
its longest since Nov. 19-Dec. 20, 1986.
Jonas Gustavsson made 24 saves for Detroit, which won its first game since a
5-0 decision in Edmonton on Nov. 2, and its first home game since a 2-1 win
over Columbus back on Oct. 15.
Andrej Sekera scored twice and Brett Bellemore also lit the lamp for the
Hurricanes, who have dropped their past three games. Justin Peters stopped 43
shots in the loss.
Skating on a two-minute 5-on-3 after penalties to Riley Nash and Tim Gleason,
Detroit went ahead on Kronwall's second of the season.
Kronwall had the puck in the slot and fired a shot on net that was stopped.
The rebound, though, went out to the right side where it hit off a Hurricane
and went in for a 3-2 lead at 8:29 of the third.
The Red Wings gave themselves some insurance with 4:02 to play as a clear by
Henrik Zetterberg off the left boards saw Nyquist get behind the defense on a
clear break and slip the puck between the pads of Peters for a 4-2 advantage.
The goal proved fortunate, as Sekera scored while shorthanded with 15.9
seconds to play, but Detroit won the next faceoff and was able to get the puck
deep, killing off the rest of the clock.
The Red Wings jumped on top just 17 seconds into the game as a turnover in the
Carolina end saw Zetterberg pick up the puck. Jonathan Ericsson blasted a shot
on net after Zetterberg left the puck in the slot. It was stopped, but the
rebound kicked out to the right side where Nyquist buried it for his first of
the year.
Gustavsson stopped seven shots in the second period, and Detroit scored early
in the second to add to its advantage.
Another turnover in the Carolina zone saw Justin Abdelkader grab the disc and
skate around with the puck. He lost it on a shot attempt, but Helm was there
to snap it home for his third of the season at 2:37.
Carolina got a goal back three minutes later as Radek Dvorak sent a pass from
the low right circle to the slot where Bellemore one-timed it home for his
first NHL goal.
The Hurricanes then tied the game with 7:09 to play in the middle stanza as
Sekera skated the puck through the middle and made a slick move to get around
the defender before wristing the disc home for his third of the season.
Carolina hasn't won a regular-season game in Detroit since Nov. 14, 1989, with
Detroit posting 15 wins and a tie during that time. Also, Detroit has a
credited home victory in a game played in Cleveland, Ohio in 1994 during that
span ... Carolina has lost six straight on the road, and plays in Boston on
Saturday ... Detroit hosts Ottawa on Saturday ... Detroit went 1-for-4 on the
power play, while Carolina finished 0-for-4.

Tamara Mello
Birth Name: Tamara Mello
Born: 02/22/1976
Birth Place: Los Angeles, California, USA
Mello began making frequent appearances on television in the mid-90s, guesting on episodes of "7th Heaven" (The WB) and "Boy Meets World" (ABC) in 1996 and 1997, respectively. From 1997-1998 she had a regular role on the critically acclaimed ABC drama "Nothing Sacred". A provocative and somewhat controversial series about a renegade priest (Kevin Anderson), "Nothing Sacred" featured Mello as a receptionist in a Catholic church who deals with the emotional and spiritual fallout of an unplanned pregnancy and subsequent abortion. The series met an early demise despite its quality, and it was back to guest work for Mello, including a 1999 episode of "Zoe, Duncan, Jack & Jane", a New York-set...

HTTP proxy on a separate host:
Internet --> Firewall (w/ public IP) --> nginx (172.x.x.10:443)

Is it possible to configure Zimbra so it trusts the reverse proxy

Basically what I'm looking for is the mod_rpaf for Apache

May 28, 2016
ATLANTA (AP) -- Tim Hudson pitched seven scoreless innings and the Atlanta Braves posted their second straight 1-0 victory over Colorado Rockies on Thursday, winning both times with an unearned run.
This was an especially galling loss for the Rockies. Juan Francisco raced home with the lone run when Rockies starter Jhoulys Chacin (2-5) dropped a routine throw back to the mound from his catcher. Chacin glanced over toward third before making the catch, the ball bouncing off the side of his glove and winding up between the mound and second base.
Francisco alertly spotted the miscue and took off for the plate, making it with a headfirst slide.
That was enough for Hudson (14-5), who stranded eight Colorado runners. Craig Kimbrel completed the shutout with a scoreless ninth for his 34th save.

Awards Night honorees announced
The Royals have announced the remaining organizational award winners, who will be recognized at the 2009 Royals Awards Night on January 16 at the Sheraton Overland Park Hotel. This great event will be capped by the announcement of the Ewing Kauffman Mr. Baseball Award. Buy your tickets today! The honorees include:
Dan Ontiveros – Art Stewart Scout of the Year
Dan scouts the Southern California area for the Royals. He previously worked for the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago White Sox. In his first year with the Royals, Ontiveros signed left-handed pitcher Mike Montgomery, the club's supplemental pick in 2008. Montgomery earned Pitcher of the Year honors for the Surprise Royals last season.
Brian Rupp – Dick Howser Player Development Person of the Year
Brian (left) is now the manager of the Wilmington Blue Rocks. In 2008, he guided the Burlington Bees to the Midwest League championship. Rupp played in the St. Louis organization for seven seasons before becoming a minor league coach with the Cardinals in 1999.
Everett Teaford – Mike Sweeney Award
Everett, a left-handed pitcher, will receive the Mike Sweeney Award, which recognizes a player who best represents the organization on and off the field. Teaford went 8-6 with a 3.80 ERA for Wilmington in 2008. In addition, he took part in every Blue Rocks community event. The Carolina League named Teaford as the inaugural Matt Minker Community Service Award winner.
Derrick Robinson – Willie Wilson Base Runner of the Year
Robinson could be playing in tonight's national championship football game, but he turned down a scholarship to the University of Florida to sign with Kansas City. Robinson's future on the baseball diamond is very bright. The speedster set the pace with an individual franchise record 62 stolen bases as the Wilmington Blue Rocks established a team franchise mark with 258 thefts. His total of 62 led the Carolina League and placed him fourth among all minor league players.
Jeff Bianchi – Frank White Defensive Player of the Year
Bianchi, a former shortstop, made a smooth transition to second base, the position held down by the awards' namesake and eight-time Gold Glove winner. Jeff made just 2 errors in 75 games at second base and 7 errors overall.
Dan Cortes – Paul Splittorff Pitcher of the Year
The highly-touted righty went 10-4 with a 3.78 ERA as he helped the Northwest Arkansas Naturals reach the playoffs in their inaugural season. Cortes earned team Pitcher of the Year honors and Postseason Texas League All-Star status. He was drafted by the White Sox in 2005 and signed by fellow honoree Dan Ontiveros.
Kila Ka'aihue – George Brett Hitter of the Year
Kila had a breakout season in 2008, as he led Kansas City's minor league system with 37 home runs and 100 RBI. He earned Texas League Player of the Year honors after slamming 26 home runs for the Northwest Arkansas Naturals. Ka'aihue finished the year with the big league club and collected his first home run on September 20.
The Royals will also honor Patti Lewis with the Dan Quisenberry Special Achievement Award, which recognizes an outstanding member of the community. Lewis is founder and director of Alexandra's House, a non-profit perinatel hospice that reaches out to families who have an anticipated infant loss.
The club previously announced that Chris Kemple will be recognized as The Matt Minker Award winner. The award is presented to an outstanding minor league affiliate employee. Chris is the general manager of the Wilmington Blue Rocks.
The Major League award winners, Pitcher of the Year Joakim Soria, Player of the Year Mike Aviles, and Special Achievement winner Zack Greinke will also be honored.

I just got back here to the hotel after wandering in the latin suburbs of Austin for few hours. This morning I woke up, gathered my gear, had some skype meetings and then went of to Austin Convention Center to meet a great guy called Mark who works for O'Reilly. We had a good chat over Wreckamovie, I showed it to him a bit, gave him a copy of Star Wreck, and then left to find some software and electronics to buy. Right now it's an awesome time to buy stuff, € being so strong when compared to $, and electronics and software being so cheap in the States compared to Europe.
Ínstead of hailing a cab and travelling to the mall that way, I wanted to save some bucks and decided to use the bus. It's way cheaper than taxis around here – with $1 you can travel as much as you want. It's also a transportation method for the lower middle-class folk, so no rich-ass white beings in bus, only me with my mohawk and laptop. But by bus, you get to see around, and see how the people actually live here in Austin.
As all my friends and the guys at Energia know, I've been blessed with an infallible sense of direction and +35 Skill Rank Bonus to Map Reading and Urban Survival Skills – that means: I never get lost.
So I suck at that. But still, I never admit it to myself. Just like Ryoga from Ranma ½, only that I don't know kung-fu…
Somehow, after being lost in the downtown for a while, I ended up into AT&T store, and the nice people there gave me very clear directions on how to find a Target store in a shopping mall some 10 miles away from the downtown, and what bus to take. It was a sunny day, I was listening to Disco Ensemble and feeling very alive when hopping on a bus and travelling through the city to a huge shopping center somewhere in the city borders. At Target store I shopped some iPods and Cars stuff for my kid, and then decided to go out and find a WalMart or some place where I could get couple of Adobe Creative Suites.
Without thinking, I just went across the massive highways, almost got hit by a car and finally ended up on a small forgotten bus-stand, where I for some reason thought a bus to the WalMart would go. Well, it didn't. Actually, after stepping on the bus and driving some stops, I asked the bus driver if there was a WalMar somewhere close, and he said that yes there is, but you are going the wrong way, you need to step out and go to the other side of the road and pick a bus from there. So that's what I did, got off the bus somewhere in the suburbs.
And then, instead of going to the bus stop on the opposite side of the road, for some reason I had a brainfart of a thought and decided to go out and find a computer store somewhere in the suburbs. Don't really know what I was thinking. And it was getting late, sun was casting it's last rays and I had changed to Deftones in my earphones, feeling still great and self-confident on my infinite urban skills.
Not a big surprise, I didn't find anything. Just some huge shops with strange objects, a restaurant called Twin Peaks and a interstate highway which I tried to get across but found luckily soon enough it was impossible. So when the sun finally got behind the horizon and the darkness fell, I went to a bus stop to wait for a bus. And I waited and waited and waited… Nothing came, just cars and cars and cars.
Finally, the bus came. It was already pitch black, and I drove few stops forward, then decided to jump out in a streetcorner where I thought another bus would come soon, a bus that would take me close to my hotel.
But it didn't. I waited like fourty minutes, sitting in total darkness in a small bu sstop, with my laptop, a big Toys'R'Us bag full of iPods and toys, and my white face and mohawk screaming "come and mug me". All the time huge pickups stacked with latino thughs you see in movies were passing by, and people looking me like I was mad. I was really starting to feel like Bruce Willis in the beginning of Die Hard 3… But I knew that I was no Bruce Willis, had it come to that.
No bus was coming, that was quite sure. I was in the middle of nowhere, with *no* idea on where to go, how to get back or anything, and feeling every minute more that soon I would get killed. So I chickened out, and went to a small 7-11 shining in darkness, explained to a Mexican who knew just enough English to understand me, that I'm from Finland, and I'm totally lost. The shopkeepers laughed, but were very nice and called a cab for me.
So that's my story. Nothing dramatic, but ultimate bracks were shat, as they say on the Internets.
And I didn't get my Creative Suites, so I need to get on the same bus tomorrow, and hope for the best to find a CompUSA or Best Buy or something like that… And get the hell out of the suburbs before the nightfall.

Having recently logged onto the GA web client, several of the icons seems to be both wrong and different to Beta.
- The "Log Off" icon is two folders with a green +
On the inbox pane:
- Move to trash, move selected and print icons are all wrong (e.g. print is the diskette icon that should be "save" and move is the icon that should be log off - an open door with an arrow).
On the calendar pane:
- The trash, move selected and print icons are again all wrong but the move selected icon is now what should be the help icon (question mark on blue circle).
On the contacts pane :
- They are again wrong, but this time the move to trash icon is a magnifying glass.
Is this just me, or do other people have the same problem?

I've trid to keep up with my weeding, deadheading, and other garden chores, but it's amazing what still needs to get done outside in the next few days. The grass needs to be cut, the patio swept, gardens weeded, phlox tied up, apples picked from the lawn–we have a huge apple tree in our yard, which is lovely, but the lawn looks like a minefield of apple bombs that hurt when you step on them.
And then the menu needs to be decided. Luckily local produce is in season at the farmer's market. I'm sure fresh corn on the cob, beans, tomatoes, and peaches will grace the table.
If you're looking for some great backyard party tips, check out these great articles at CanadianGardening.com. I know I'll be reading them in the next day or two!

SuperTuxKart is a free 3d kart racing game; it focuses for on fun than on realism. On the tracks you find gift boxes, bananas and nitro boosts. Gift boxes give you an extra like a bowling ball which you can use to knock over your opponents, bananas do something bad with your kart and nitro boosts will make your kart faster.
Most karts are driven by mascots of free software, for example Tux from Linux (hence the name "SuperTuxKart") or Puffy from OpenBSD.
See the great lighthouse or drive through the sand and visit the pyramids. Race under water or in space, watching the stars passing by. Have some rest under the palms on the beach (watching the other karts overtaking you :) ). But don't fall into the volcano.
You can do a single race against other karts, compete in one of several Grand Prix, or try to beat the high score in time trials on your own. The game also contains a story mode in which the evil Nolok kidnaps Gnu and you have to win many races and grand prixes to free Gnu.
You can play with up to 4 friends on one PC, racing against each other or just try to beat the computer.
The game can be extended with add-ons from inside the game. Those add other karts and tracks.

MORRISTOWN - When a basketball team only scores one more point than it has turnovers, the end result is usually predictable.
That theory proved true once again Thursday evening at Union Local in the Division II sectional tournament.
The Buckeye Local Panthers, who ousted Edison in overtime on Monday, had troubles with the Minerva pressure. They turned the ball over 33 times, many of which, especially in the second half, led to easy scoring opportunities for the Lions and eventually led to a 56-34 victory.
"They did a nice job of converting our turnovers into points," Buckeye Local coach Willy Luther said. "It seemed like every time we turned the ball over, it led to a score. And they ran the lead up on us and we're just not built to come back from big deficits."
Of those Panther turnovers, 17 were charted in the first half. However, the Panthers found themselves down just five, 22-17, at halftime.
"We felt lucky to be in the game," Luther said.
The five-point halftime deficit swelled quickly in the third as Minerva scored the first seven points. The Panthers were scoreless for the first 6:10 of the third before senior Kayla Fillipovich stopped the bleeding with a conventional 3-point play.
"Scoring has been a problem for us all season," Luther said. "I will say that Kayla Fillipovich, gave a great effort every game. She's playing on a torn ACL, didn't get much practice in the preseason and she's battled all year. Actually, this senior class really stuck together and played hard throughout. It would have been easy for them to give up, but they just kept battling."
Minerva, which is the second seed in this sectional, build a 15-point lead after three and the Panthers never got any closer than 11 in the fourth.
"No matter what you're doing, you have to give it 110 percent," Luther said. "When you're doing that, sometimes you get some lucky breaks, but it seemed like every time we would get a tip or cause a deflection, the ball ended up back in their hands, somehow."
The Panthers were led by Fillipovich's 12 points. Senior Alexis Valuska added eight.
Senior Lorin Clark and Josie Chaddock led Minerva with 14 points each.
The Panthers end their season with a 6-18 record.
