MOGADORE, Ohio - A whole lot of Gary Strain and a couple of critical second-half mistakes spelled big problems for Steubenville Catholic in its Region 21 playoff opener Friday.
Strain, a 6-foot-1, 205-pound senior, ran for more than 200 yards and three touchdowns as top-seeded Mogadore rolled to a 49-24 victory at Wildcat Field. With the victory, the Wildcats (11-0) advance to face Berlin Western Reserve in the second round.
Meanwhile, the Crusaders (6-5) left Summit County knowing their mistakes (special teams miscues and a costly penalty) severely hurt their chances to pull an upset in their first postseason appearance since 2005.
Down 14-6 at the half, Steve Daley's club surrendered scores on Mogadore's first three possessions of the third quarter. Two were set up by Jake Cramer kickoff returns and the third thanks to facemask penalty on a punt.
Cramer's run on the second-half kick gave his team a first down at the 50. Eight plays, Brandon Berry bolted in from 11 yards out and Riley Jones' kick made it 21-6 Mogadore.
The eighth-seeded Crusaders answered immediately, moving 53 yards in three snaps. Senior Doug Maslowski broke two tackles, spun out of a third and raced 40 yards to the end zone. The run for the 2-pointer (Steubenville Central failed all four of its conversion attempts) was stopped short.
Cramer then stung the Crusaders again, taking the kick all the way to the 19.
Strain bulled over from the 2 and Jones was perfect again, advancing the Mogadore advantage to 28-12.
After the defense recorded a stop, the Wildcats put the game on ice, Starting at their 43, after the Crusaders penalty, the Division VI AP poll champions marched 57 yards in six plays. Strain recorded the six-pointer on a 7-yard run.
The Crusaders would get two more scores, Brenton Colabella hitting Zack Herrington from 11 yards out and Kyle Laukert from 21 stripes away.
''They took control of the game there,'' Daley said of the Mogadore performance in the third quarter. ''Strain is a heck of a player and they were able to give us some problems with splits on the line. We were late adjusting to it. They were getting off the ball, beating us at the point of attack and that was the difference.
''Had we come out and got a stop, then scored and evened it up, things may have been different. Instead, they pulled ahead by two scores and we let it get away from us.''
Strain rumbled for 214 yards on 24 carries to pace Mogadore. Berry added 106 on 14 trips and also scored three times. As a team, the Wildcats had 447 yards of offense (355 on the ground and 92 via the air).
Colabella threw for 322 yards (hitting 33 of 52 attempts). Herrington had 13 catches for 134. Laukert nine and Ryan Fletcher seven.
Mogadore got on the board first early in the opening period thanks to a 40-yard burst by Strain. Jones added the extra point.
Steubenville Catholic answered early in the second quarter on a 19-yard Colabella strike to Fletcher. Running a skinny post, Fletcher grabbed the pigskin in the center of the end zone, took a few shots from the defense but was able to hold on for the score. Stone Romano's conversion try was blocked by Strain.
Berry's 13-yard scamper combined with another Jones boot put the Wildcats up 14-6. The Mogadore offense was moving on its next possession before Central's Fletcher came through with a big defensive play, picking off Anthony Ricci near mid-field.
Starting at the Wildcat 44, the Crusaders moved to the 14 following Colabella completions to Michael Carapellotti, Fletcher and Laukert (his catch turned a fourth-and-5 into a new set of downs). Unfortunately, Catholic Central was unable to capitalize, three passes falling incomplete and a fourth dropped in the end zone.
''We knew what we were up against coming in,'' Daley noted. ''Mogadore's a good team. We had to step it up a little more than we did and take advantage of opportunities when we had them. That's a learning thing.
''I feel bad for our seniors. We're losing nine good ones. They worked hard and put everything on the line. They are going to be missed.''

If you are in the market for a new bike, check out the sales at local bicycle shops. Many bike stores have closeout sales in September. New models are arriving and they need to clear out the old ones to make room.
Lifehacker.com says this is also a good month to buy a car because dealerships want to get rid of 2012 models. Kelly Blue Book says for the best deal, shop toward the end of the month on a weekday.
According to the fashion website ShopItToMe.com, denim and other clothing and accessories are great bargains in September.
And if you're in the market for a smart phone, look for markdowns on iPhone 4 and all the accessories that go with it in mid to late September. The iPhone 5 is expected to come out later this month, and insiders say it will be slightly larger so iPhone 4 cases and extras may not be compatible.
DealNews.Com suggests consumers hold off on buying a tablet computer for now. It predicts more selection and competitive pricing when new models come out later in the fall.

|Roth attends Girls State
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
During the week of June 14-19, approximately 200 outstanding high school junior girls attended the 62nd session of the Colorado Columbine Girls State Program at Western State College in Gunnison. One of these girls was Nora Roth of Holyoke.
The Girls State program, sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary of Colorado, consisted of an intensive week-long citizenship program.
The 200 girls were divided to create cities. Roth lived in the "town" of Crestone Needle. The theme this year was "Reaching for Higher Ground" and the theme song was, of course, John Denver's "Reaching for Higher Ground."
In her town of Crestone Needle, Roth ran for city council and was elected by the votes of her fellow townspeople.
Throughout the week at Girls State, members participate in various activities including campaigning, elections, legislative sessions, a flag program, parliamentary procedure instruction, newspaper, judicial presentation and extraordinary guest speakers. The week also featured a talent show and ice cream social.
Guest speakers at the 2009 Girls State included Colorado Speaker of the House Terrance Carroll and Jeffrey Pine, a singer/songwriter.
"Every morning we would all meet to raise the flag, and then every night we would retire it," said Roth. She added, "During one of the special assemblies, we learned about flag etiquette and were each given a standard size flag of our own."
Roth would recommend that upcoming juniors apply to attend the 2010 Girls State Session, saying, "Girls State was a great learning experience in a wonderful area.
Roth is the daughter of Martin and Laura Roth of Holyoke. She will be a senior at Holyoke High School in the fall.

Wins & losses
Poverty | Bob Lupton shows how Christian understanding plus business savvy transforms poor neighbors
ATLANTA -- Many who whiz by inner-city areas on freeways have only a vague sense of the struggles that go on there. To see poor areas through different eyes, take a ride with Bob Lupton, who at age 61 has seen how hard it is to help some among the poor climb out of dependency and despair, and how rewarding the calling at times can be.
Mr. Lupton founded Family Consultation Service one-third of a century ago after serving in Vietnam and gaining a Ph.D. in psychology at the University of Georgia. His goal was to help troubled kids, but he learned that they often emerge from troubled families whose problems grew worse amid the pressures of troubled environments. He's one of the most respected Christian urban reformers around, but he's had defeats as well as victories. In a drive around Atlanta last month he showed WORLD five sites that represent two decades of effort.
1. GlenCastle is now a 67-unit apartment building set aside largely for the working poor who rent efficiency units for $350-$425. The building formerly was the Atlanta Stockade, a miserable prison from 1910 to 1929 that had sat abandoned and empty for nearly six decades. In 1997 Mr. Lupton, working through developers he knew, brought together Atlanta's major contractors, who became excited by "the historic significance of the building and the marketing sizzle inherent in a conversion of this nature."
Architects donated their services, subcontractors donated labor and materials, and after "serious fundraising and lots of positively providential occurrences," GlenCastle opened in 1989. The contractors, normally fiercely competitive, have continued to pool their talents for a pro bono program (such as a camp for chronically sick children or shelters for homeless families) each year.
2. East Lake is an Atlanta neighborhood that 15 years ago-in Mr. Lupton's words-"was synonymous with all that's wrong in the city." The neighborhood emerged in the 1920s around East Lake Golf Club, famous because the young Bobby Jones grew up across the street and learned to play there. By the 1980s, though, golfers were being held up at gunpoint and the course was in bankruptcy. Residents called the nearby East Lake Meadows housing project "Little Vietnam."
In 1991 Mr. Lupton began working with Atlanta developer Tom Cousins to resurrect the neighborhood. Mr. Cousins bought the golf course and created jobs through a massive neighborhood renovation project that included restoring the course and also converting the housing project into townhouses and apartments, with half the units reserved for public housing users and the other half rented at market rates, now $850-$1,200.
But the golf course and townhouses would have been unappealing if no one had taken a bite out of crime. Here's where the East Lake community and the Atlanta police began to work together and encourage each other: The key, according to Mr. Lupton, "was getting engaged neighbors in place and organized." When citizens began gathering intelligence on drug dealers, the police agreed to make quick responses a priority. When the police set up foot patrols designed to break the back of the dealers, other law-abiding residents realized the situation wasn't hopeless.
The neighborhood also needed improved schooling. The local public elementary school, the worst in Atlanta, gave way to the Drew Charter School, which focuses intensely on the basics and features required 90-minute reading classes each day for all students. Mr. Cousins donated the golf course to a foundation he created, and the revenues from it now pay for after-school tutoring and a junior golf academy. Drew is now in the top third of Atlanta schools.
Each improvement made other improvements more likely. The YMCA built a new facility, and new townhouses and single-family homes also arose. Mr. Lupton brokered an arrangement by which the foundation put up a structure that Publix agreed to lease. With crime down and amenities up, property values began increasing by more than 20 percent per year.
3. The Summerhill neighborhood in the early 1990s looked more promising than East Lake because it's within walking distance of downtown and adjacent to the Atlanta Braves ballpark. Summerhill also was expected to be a prime recipient of development dollars that would make it look good in time for Atlanta's 1996 Olympics.
But Summerhill, Mr. Lupton said, became "a case study in what can go wrong with well-intentioned community development projects" when local residents are empowered and let power go to their heads: Unlike in East Lake, "seasoned business people checked their marketplace savvy at the door. Wishing desperately to avoid old stereotypes of 'controlling white boys' and prove that we were beyond the racist and patronizing past, we supported deals and decisions that we would have never condoned in our own organization."
The biggest mistake was to give complete authority to local residents instead of creating a business-community partnership with "a mutually agreed-upon mission and negotiated roles and contingencies for each party." Politicians-in-residence axed a highly respected developer who was volunteering as board chairman and then alienated other outside supporters as well. In the end, funds disappeared or were spent unwisely, community glad-handing politicians did not fulfill their promises, and once-willing outsider helpers gave up.
The failure still grates on Mr. Lupton. Ironically, parts of Summerhill now are gentrifying-a close-in area cannot be held down forever-but the likely result is that long-term poor residents will be driven out, rather than integrated into a new community as they were in East Lake.
4. South Atlanta is a neighborhood where Mr. Lupton plans to apply what he learned from success in East Lake and failure in Summerhill: "We're organizing block by block, adopting seniors, setting up crime watches, and putting our pioneers into houses. Some think business folks who can do a real estate deal are the enemy, but we value them." The South Atlanta crime rate is still high and property values are still low, but he is optimistic about developing "gentrification with justice."
"Gentrification," Mr. Lupton has seen, is a term often thrown around unintelligently either as a hope or-for some low-income renters who will be displaced -a curse. But some neighborhoods have lived with displacement for decades as those with talent and legal ambition left, leaving drug dealers in charge: A new displacement is not the enemy if dealers and addicts are displaced by those ambitious for community renewal.
What about the worthy poor who may be displaced? That's where the development of mixed-income housing becomes essential. "Gentrification with justice" means that striving poor families can stay in their communities and live next to middle-class families who can help poor parents keep their children from the undertow of the streets. Mr. Lupton has come to oppose the "romantic notions" that a poor community's culture must be protected from outside values and that the affluent who become involved in inner-city neighborhoods must practice "servanthood." The better goal, he says, is "partnership."
5. Mr. Lupton's organization, now called FCS Urban Ministries, is deep into constructing low-cost homes (through Charis Community Housing) and helping people to live in them. He set up a Home Resource & Furniture Center adjacent to his office that sells low-price, used, slightly damaged or irregular household items and building materials. There's also a Family Store selling good used clothing and overstocked or irregular items obtained also by donation: "The dignity of purchasing goods affords families a sense of pride that the best-intentioned giveaway items cannot provide."
Bob Lupton, half a lifetime ago, whizzed by inner-city areas and once had romantic ideas of "relocation" within them, as if there is some magic in middle-class individuals moving into poor areas. He's learned that motivation and goals are what really count, and he advises Christian urban pioneers to examine their own: "If the only goal is to build a church, you can end up with a church within a rotting community." His ideal is the church leader "who sees the whole neighborhood as his parish" and strives to build up the community, not just the church.

I know this has been hashed already out somewhere, and I have been combing archives, so if you know where the redundant info is at please feel free to point me in the right direction.
I have two seperate ZCS machines. zmail.ocdirect.net and mchn39.ocdirect.net. Accounts under the root domains (acntA@zmail. ocdirect.net and firstname.lastname@example.com) can IM just fine, however, anyone in another domain cannot:
domain ky-leadernews.com hosted on zmail.ocdirect.net cannot IM to Anyone except accounts on the zmail.ocdirect.net server.
I entered the SRV records on the zmail.ocdirect.net DNS A record.
sRVRecord: 5 0 5269 _xmppp-server._tcp.zmail.ocdirect.net.
sRVRecord: 5 0 5222 _xmppp-client._tcp.zmail.ocdirect.net.
and also on the A Record "mchn39" under "ocdirect.net" domain.
sRVRecord: 5 0 5222 _xmpp-client._tcp.mchn39.ocdirect.net.
sRVRecord: 5 0 5269 _xmpp-server._tcp.mchn39.ocdirect.net.
And they seem to work correctly, but only when talking to the immediate server domain.
The ky-leadernews.com MX record is set to zmail.ocdirect.net and their mail works fine.
The question:
Exactly where should the SRV records be put for a domain on the ZCS server, when their are more than one domain on the ZCS server.

Wow, both of those are simply fantastic. Beautiful work & repped.
After quite a bit of work on my story, something about it just wasn't speaking to me. I decided to go back and revise the names of the countries (which I random-generated before) and that, of course, meant I needed a new map! While I was at it, I also decided to hand-draw a map of the areas I specifically needed for my story. So, I guess this is really the story of two maps...
This is (a bad picture of) the close-up. My scanner hasn't been working properly and my camera doesn't really take very good pictures, but it's the best I could get. I haven't shaded the mountains on this one, either... I'm not quite sure how I should do them. If I just did them in black, I'd lose a lot of detail, and I might have a problem with some of the cities that are located within the mountain's shadows. I also need to figure out a way to ink the roads without making them look like little rivers. I have to say, I'm really proud of those creatures, though. I need to put in maybe one or two more.
This is the full map. I'd like to tell you what that box is reserved for, but... honestly, it was just a lot of blank space.I'm not sure what I'll do with it yet. I also need to shade the mountains on this one, but... well, I've just been lazy. I'll get on it.... I'll probably shade them in a lighter color, though, rather than in black.
Wow, both of those are simply fantastic. Beautiful work & repped.
Oohh, now that is just beautiful! I have seen a fair share of antique looking maps, but I really like yours allot StarRaven. The crumpled parchment look is killer, and I dig the hills and trees allot too; looks like they were done with a calligraphy pen. Great job, enjoy some rep.
Diamond - Thank you!
Arsheesh - Thank you very much! The "crumpled parchment" is actually just a difference clouds layer embossed and then set to overlay. I usually think I overdo it, but thanks for the compliment! The hills and trees and whatnot (actually, pretty much everything on that map...) were indeed done with one of Photoshop's calligraphy brushes. Thanks for noticing!
I love the mountains. I've always preferred this way of making mountains... It looks awesome!. I also like the name of the place
Yesterday today was tomorrow.

Very LotR - looks great in the parchment version. s for the inset - perhaps a good location for a compass, scale or legend. Alternatively you could put a blown up detail of one of the towns there?
Nice work!
Aenigma - Thank you! I prefer this type of mountain too. I've never been able to get a top-down view that shows the mountains in a way that satisfies me.... And thanks... I agonized over the names, haha....
Steel General - Thanks!
Torstan - It's funny you should say that! I was thinking of putting in a detail of the city of Zephyra, which is where a great deal of the story takes place. Thank you.
I've been meaning to thank you for your brushes again also, StarRaven. I've used them a couple times now to great effect. So thanks!
Diamond - Ooh, that's great to hear! I'm glad you found them useful! Might I ask where you used them? I'd love to see.
North or south or east or west, where to point your shoes...?
Which direction is the best?
If the choosing gets confusing, maybe it's the map you're using....

Stylish and smiling, three women allegedly held captive in a Cleveland home for a decade offered thanks on YouTube for emotional and financial backing they've received since going "through hell and back."
From Amanda Berry, 27: "I want everyone to know how happy I am to be home, with my family, my friends," she said.
"I would say 'thank you' for the support," said a soft-spoken Gina DeJesus, 23, in response to prompting from a narrator.
And from Michelle Knight, 32, who wasn't a familiar face on a milk carton around town like the other two, came a sometimes halting yet defiant reading of a statement.
"I may have been through hell and back, but I am strong enough to walk through hell with a smile on my face and with my head held high," she said. "I will not let the situation define who I am. I will define the situation. I don't want to be consumed by hatred."
The 3�-minute video, produced last week and posted at midnight Monday, was filmed in a Cleveland law firm overlooking treetops, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and Lake Erie.
DeJesus' parents, Felix DeJesus and Nancy Ruiz, joined the heartfelt statements of gratitude, thanking the public for donations to a fund set up to help the women. More than $1 million has been donated.
Ruiz encouraged parents with missing loved ones to reach out for assistance. "Count on your neighbors," she said. "Don't be afraid to ask for the help because help is available."
The women have turned aside media interview requests and appealed again for privacy since they were rescued in May when Berry broke through a door and yelled to neighbors for help.
The women had disappeared separately between 2002 and 2004, when they were 14, 16, and 20 years old. The owner of the home where they were found, 52-year-old former bus driver Ariel Castro, was arrested and has pleaded not guilty to a 329-count indictment alleging he kidnapped them off the streets and held them captive in his two-story home.
In the video, none of the women had any visible scars of the abuse they said they suffered. Castro fathered a 6-year-old daughter with Berry and is accused of starving and punching Knight, causing her to miscarry.
"I am getting stronger each day," Berry said. "Having my privacy has helped immensely."
The trio wants to maintain that privacy, according to a statement from the team of lawyers and crisis management experts helping them without charge.
Castro's trial is scheduled for next month but could be delayed if the defense asks for more preparation time. Last week a judge rejected Castro's request to see Berry's child fathered by him.
Castro's lawyers did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment on the video and on whether they were concerned it might bias jurors.
In the video, the women smiling and appeared upbeat.
Berry, the only one who has been in photographs that have appeared publicly since her release, had shorter hair with a blonde streak in it. Knight, who authorities said had been taken captive first, wore glasses, had closely cropped hair and spoke a bit haltingly.
Kathy Joseph, Knight's attorney, said in a statement that the three women wanted to "say thank you to people from Cleveland and across the world, now that two months have passed."
She said they're being recognized in public, "so they decided to put voices and faces to their heartfelt messages."

Policy attachment and enforcement
- Policy types
- Attaching policies in the Edge management UI
- Configuring policies in the management UI
- Attaching and configuring policies in XML files
- Attaching a policy to a ProxyEndpoint or TargetEndpoint Flow
- Deploying policy changes
- Verifying policy enforcement
- Policy-based fault handling
- Best practices: Common policy sets
Apigee Edge enables you to 'program' API behavior without writing any code, by using 'policies'. A policy is like a module that implements a specific, limited management function. Policies are designed to let you add common types of management capabilities to an API easily and reliably. Policies provide features like security, rate-limiting, transformation, and mediation capabilities, saving you from having to code and maintain this functionality on your own.
Policy types
Technically, a policy is an XML-formatted configuration file. Each policy type's structure (for example, the required and optional configuration elements) is defined by an XML schema. If you are proficient with XML tools, it is worthwhile to familiarize yourself with the policy schemas in the API Platform samples on Github.
Edge Policy types are grouped into the following functional categories:
Traffic management
Policies in the traffic management category enable you to control the flow of request and response messages through an API proxy. These policies support both operational- and business-level control. They give you control over raw throughput, and can also control traffic on a per-app basis. Traffic management policy types enable you to enforce quotas, and they also help you to mitigate denial of service attacks.
Policies in the mediation category enable you to actively manipulate messages as they flow through API proxies. They enable you to transform message formats, from XML to JSON (and vice-versa), or to transform one XML format to another XML format. They also enable you to parse messages, to generate new messages and to change values on outbound messages. Mediation policies also interact with basic services exposed by API Services, enabling you to retrieve data about apps, developers, security tokens, and API products at runtime.
Policies in the security category support authentication, authorization, as well as content-based security.
Policies in the extension category enable you to tap into the extensibility of API Services to implement custom behavior in the programming language of you choice.
Each Policy type is documented in detail in the Policy reference overview. This topic demonstrates general interaction, showing you how to create Policies, and how to attach them to Flows in an API proxy configuration.
Attaching policies in the Edge management UI
Adding policy-based capabilities to an API proxy is a two-step process:
- Configure an instance of a policy type.
- Attach the policy instance to a Flow.
The diagram below shows the relationship between policies and Flows. As you can see, a policy is attached to a Flow as a processing "Step". To configure the desired behavior for your API, you need to understand a little bit about Flows. (This topic was covered earlier in Configuring flows.)
One type of policy that is commonly used is SpikeArrest. SpikeArrest prevents sudden increases in message traffic that might swamp your backend services.
To attach a policy to a Flow:
- Select an API proxy and navigate to the Develop view
- In the API Proxy Editor, select the New Policy drop-down menu.
A categorized list of the available policy types displays.
- Select the policy type that you want to add to the API proxy.
For example, if you want to add a SpikeArrest policy, select the Traffic Management category in the policy dropdown menu.
- Modify the selections in the New Policy dialog to configure and attach the policy.
If you accept the default selections, as shown below, the policy will be enforced on request messages submitted by client apps to the ProxyEndpoint PreFlow.
The New Policy form provides the following options:
Policy Name: A unique name for this policy. The UI will generate a default name, but it is advisable to create a descriptive name for the policy. This will ensure that other developers in your organization have an easy time understanding what the policy is intended to do. The UI changes spaces to dashes, changes consecutive dashes to a single dash, and removes characters that are not alphanumeric, such as dashes, underscores, and percent signs.
Attach Policy: By selecting this checkbox, you will cause the policy to be attached to the specified Flow when the policy is created, that is, when you select Add. Deselect this box if you do not want to attach the policy yet.
Flow: Displays a drop-down list of Flows in this API proxy. Select the Flow to which the policy should be attached. Four default Flows are available. (If you added conditional Flows to your API proxy, they will display here as options.) To learn more about Flows, see Configuring flows.
Segment: Each Flow has a request and response 'segment'. Select the radio button for the segment to which you want to attach the policy. It's important to attach a policy to the right Flow and segment.
Of course, if you deselect the Attach Policy checkbox, the policy won't be attached to a Flow. The policy will be created, but it won't be enforced. You might do this if you simply want to configure a policy and later decide its attach points. You can attach the policy later by selecting it in the Navigator view and then clicking Attach Policy.)
- When you finish configuring the policy, select Add
The policy is attached to the Flow that you selected.
After you select Add, you'll see the policy displayed in the Designer view for the PreFlow of the default ProxyEndpoint. The Code view, which displays the XML for the newly attached policy, displays below the Designer view of the Flow. Note that the UI has generated an instance of the policy that contains a set of reasonable default values.
To detach a policy from a Flow: Select the Flow. Mouse over the icon for the policy in the Designer view of the Flow. Click the X in the circle that appears in the icon.
To delete a policy instance: Mouse over the entry for the policy in the Navigator view. Click the X in the circle that appears to the right of the entry.
Configuring policies in the management UI
When the UI generates a policy instance, it applies reasonable default values for common settings. You may need to modify these settings to meet your requirements.For example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <SpikeArrest async="false" continueOnError="false" enabled="true" name="spikearrest-1"> <DisplayName>SpikeArrest-1</DisplayName> <FaultRules/> <Properties/> <Identifier ref="request.header.some-header-name"/> <MessageWeight ref="request.header.weight"/> <Rate>30ps</Rate> </SpikeArrest>
You can configure a policy by directly editing its XML configuration in the Code view. For example, the peak message rate for the Spike Arrest policy is initially set to 30 messages per second. You can change the peak rate by changing the <
Rate> element value in the XML for the policy. For further details about configuring policies, see the Policy Reference.
You can also cut-and-paste policies into the Code view. This is a great way to re-use policies from the samples available on GitHub.
When you make changes to a policy definition in the Code view, the changes are reflected in the Property Inspector. The reverse is also true — make changes in the Property Inspector and they appear in the XML in the Code view.
Some policies expose XML elements that can have multiple subelements. For example, the AssignMessage policy (which is used in the request or response path to generate a new message or to modify an existing message) exposes various elements in which multiple query parameters can be specified. In these cases, the Property Inspector displays an (+) icon. Click the icon to add entry fields for additional subelements.
For documentation specific to the Quota policy used in this topic, see Quota policy.
Attaching and configuring policies in XML files
You can create and edit policies locally, using your favorite text or XML-aware editor or IDE. This topic uses the Quota policy type as an example of how to create, configure, attach, deploy, and test policies.
Most API proxies enforce a quota. Quotas provide control over how often a client app is permitted to invoke an API over a given time interval. In the example below, a Quota policy is configured to limit apps to 1 request per minute. (While this may not be realistic, it does provide a simple way to see the effects of a policy.)
In an API proxy configuration, Policy files are stored as XML files under
/apiproxy/policies directory.
For example, a policy of type Quota called "QuotaPolicy" could be created as a file called
QuotaPolicy.xml with the following content:
<Quota enabled="true" continueOnError="false" async="false" name="QuotaPolicy"> <Allow count="1"/> <Interval>1</Interval> <TimeUnit>minute</TimeUnit> </Quota>
You can create a text file by hand, or you can generate the policy from an XML schema. All policies have some settings that are specific to the policy type, and some settings that are generic across all policies. For reference, policy schemas are provided in the API Platform samples on GitHub.
All policies define the following attributes:
enabled: Indicates whether the policy is turned "on" or "off". Policies can be enabled/disabled at runtime by changing this setting. A policy that has
enabledset to
falseis not enforced.
continueOnError: Defines whether the pipeline should continue processing the message if the policy fails. When enforcing quota policies, errors likely indicate that the quota has been exceeded, and, therefore, this attribute should be set to false.
async: In a policy, enabling
async=truetells API Services to run the policy inside a different thread pool, isolated from the regular pool that is servicing the request/response Flow. This is an internal optimization that will rarely be of use to API developers.
name: The name that you give to this policy. This name is unique to this policy instance, and it is used to attach the policy to the flow as a processing step.
Except for
name, you rarely need to modify the default settings for these policy attributes. For this reason, and for clarity, they are often excluded from the policy samples in the documentation.
In the example above, the elements
Interval, and
TimeUnit are specific to the Quota policy. These elements provide settings that API Services enforces on behalf of an API. Other policy types define their own settings, which you can learn about in the Policy Reference.
Attaching a policy to a ProxyEndpoint or TargetEndpoint Flow
Policies are not executed until they are attached to a Flow. You can create a Policy attachment by naming a Policy in a Step configuration.
The choice of attachment point is critical to the behavior of your API proxy. For example, if you attach the Quota policy to a response Flow, then the Quota would be enforced after the request message was sent to the backend service. That would defeat the purpose of applying a Quota policy! Therefore, you need to attach the Quota policy as a processing Step on the request Flow.
The format of a policy attachment is:
<Step> <Name>{policy_name}</Name> </Step>
For example:
<Step> <Name>QuotaPolicy</Name> </Step>
{policy_name} variable must be the same as the
name attribute in the policy (stored under /policies) that you want to attach. The names must match exactly, as name matching is case-sensitive.
A policy is attached to a Flow by adding the Step configuration to the appropriate request or response Flow element in a ProxyEndpoint or TargetEndpoint configuration.
You can attach a policy to a request or response Flow. Request and response Flows are further subdivided in to PreFlow and PostFlow.
The following example demonstrates the minimal ProxyEndpoint configuration, with no policy attachments. It simply defines the (inbound) HTTPProxyConnection and a RouteRule.
<ProxyEndpoint name="default"> <HTTPProxyConnection> <BasePath>/weather</BasePath> <VirtualHost>default</VirtualHost> </HTTPProxyConnection> <RouteRule name="default"> <TargetEndpoint>default</TargetEndpoint> </RouteRule> </ProxyEndpoint>
You must modify this configuration so that the ProxyEndpoint enforces a Quota policy (as a processing Step) before the API proxy performs any other processing. If a developer has exceeded a Quota, you don't want to waste any computational resources on additional requests.
To enforce this configuration, you attach a processing Step to the request PreFlow as follows:
<ProxyEndpoint name="default"> <PreFlow> <Request> <Step><Name>QuotaPolicy</Name></Step> </Request> </PreFlow> <HTTPProxyConnection> <BasePath>/weather</BasePath> <VirtualHost>default</VirtualHost> </HTTPProxyConnection> <RouteRule name="default"> <TargetEndpoint>default</TargetEndpoint> </RouteRule> </ProxyEndpoint>
Sometimes, you might want a policy to execute after some other initial processing on the ProxyEndpoint. For example, you want to check Quota in the PreFlow, then perform another set of processing after Quota is checked, such as converting the request from JSON to XML. To do so, attach a policy to the PostFlow request path. The following is a sample request PostFlow attachment. This policy would execute on the request message after all of the policies in the PreFlow (and any conditional flows) execute.
<PostFlow> <Request> <Step><Name>JSONtoXMLPolicy</Name></Step> </Request> </PostFlow>
The following is a sample response PostFlow attachment. This policy would execute on the response message. (The ProxyEndpoint response PostFlow is the final processing phase before the response is returned to the requesting client app.)
<PostFlow> <Response> <Step><Name>XMLtoJSONPolicy</Name></Step> </Response> </PostFlow>
You can also define conditional Flows that execute between the PreFlow and PostFlow phases. This is covered in the next topic, Flow variables and conditions.
Deploying policy changes
For policy changes to take effect, you must deploy the API proxy revision to an environment. After you attach a policy or make changes to an existing policy, use the management UI or the management API to deploy the changes.
Verifying policy enforcement
To verify that a policy is enforced properly, the API must be invoked by an HTTP client. To verify this Quota configuration, submit multiple requests to the API, exceeding the quota limit that you set in the quota policy. (The URI path, configured as the base path setting in the ProxyEndpoint, in the request below is
After you submit more than 1 request within a minute, you should see the following error message:
This indicates that the Quota policy is being enforced by API Services.
Policy-based fault handling
Note the format of the error message above. It contains a
faultstring property and an
errorcode property. In many cases, you need to implement some behavior to handle these errors. For example, you may wish to issue a customized message to a developer whose app has exceeded the Quota.
For more on fault handling, see Fault handling.
Best practices: Common policy sets
To meet basic management requirements, API proxies usually enforce the following policies:

- SpikeArrest
- XMLThreatProtection or JSONThreatProtection
- API key validation
- Quota
- ResponseCache

In a previous blog, I discussed my long search to find out the failure rate of FTP file transfers. Without recovering the same ground twice, the failure rate is 6.47%1. And I promised to discuss the impact that has on organizations.
To understand the impact of FTP's high failure rate, we need to answer the question "What kind of business process can endure a failure rate that high?" File transfers are made to support business processes, so the real impact of their failures to the business is their impact on the business process they support. The answer is none. Even non-critical business processes with that high a failure rate would draw the attention of the organization and be improved. And the business processes supported by file transfers are most likely at least important, if not critical.
So if FTP file transfers fail 6.47% of the time then the business processes they support are failing 6.47% of the time, which would be painful if not intolerable to organizations. So it is logical to conclude that those business process failures are being patched over, most likely, with manual intervention. In the same survey we asked "What do you estimate is the average time it takes to troubleshoot and resolve an FTP file transfer error?" and the average answer was 28 minutes. That is 28 minutes of time for a talented IT professional to resolve the error. Now we have enough information to calculate the cost to an organization.
A simple way to calculate some of the costs of using unreliable FTP is with this formula: Total File Transfers x 6.47% x 28 minutes of IT hourly salary. While this formula easily calculates a real number, it is only a starting point for the total cost of unreliable FTP to the business. We have calculated the IT cost to fix the error, but we haven't included the damage from a minimum 28 minute delay in the business process, which may impact customers or partners.
And that 28 minute delay is very conservative estimate, since it assumes that the failure is found out and corrected as soon as it happens, not that the organization finds out about the failed FTP transfer and business process through a customer complaint. It also doesn't include the impact of that business process delay on subsequent business processes like billing, production, ordering, etc. What if there are service level agreements tied to the file transfers, which carry penalties. Calculating the IT cost to fix is just the tip of the iceberg of total costs to an organization from FTP failures, however, it is good starting point because it is an easily understood real number. As one digs deeper the costs will only grow. So maybe it is worth spending a few minutes to calculate this for your organization and chat with the IT department about their specific use and experience with FTP, which may lead you to look for a more reliable alternative. For more information about your organization's risk exposure to FTP, check out the FTP Risk Advisor and create a custom risk report.

North, South, East, and West: directions on a compass. For thousands of years these directions have helped people travel, often embarking on a secular or sacred pilgrimage. A pilgrimage is the spiritual adaptation of these four directions, enlightening oneself or a group in order to share a purpose or belief through the metaphysical. A pilgrimage is not just about the thrill of the journey, but rather the individual finding a new understanding of themselves. Pilgrimages span thousands of miles, cultures, religions and continents, giving travellers numerous opportunities to create memories and experiences.
It is important to examine these journeys in a broader sense: as not just religious but also secular; as emotional experiences with vibrant memories; as complicated journeys with special destinations. The one uniting commonality between every pilgrimage is the overarching desire to seek a greater experience in order to undergo a spiritual change. No matter where the souls compass takes ones, the point is about gaining something that personally connects one to the world.
Pilgrims are historically driven by non-secular motives. In this exhibit you will learn of journeys to Mecca in order to seek enlightenment, as well as Christian pilgrims who travel to Lourdes, France for physical and spiritual relief. You will follow a father and daughter duo as they wind their way through Spain along the Santiago de Compostela. Also trek to New York City to experience a secular 'holy ground' and wind your way through the hills of Japan along the sacred Kansai Kannon pilgrimage. Furthermore, work your way through desolate Northern Utah to experience a personal pilgrimage at the Spiral Jetty.
Today we examine pilgrimages in a broader sense, encouraging you to turn the traditional idea of a pilgrimage on its head. Join us as we invite you to become a pilgrim as well, following in the footsteps of time. As you explore the gallery, ask yourself: What is a pilgrimage to you?

Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach volumes are mixed in August
September 18, 2012
With Peak Season, or at least the semblance of it underway, August volumes at the nation's two largest ports—the Port of Los Angeles (POLA) and the Port of Long Beach (POLB)—were mixed in August.
POLB imports, which are primarily comprised of consumer goods, at 274,977 TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) in August were up 2.9 percent year-over-year. This was ahead of July's 261,233 TEU and behind June's 280,525 TEU. Exports, which are primarily comprised of raw materials, increased 5.7 percent to 128,225 TEU. This was ahead of July exports at 124,574 TEU and behind June's 133,649 TEU.
Total August volume at POLB at 545,445 TEU were up 1.4 percent annually. Total POLB volumes are down 4.6 percent on a year-to-date basis, due to economic weakness and cutbacks in ship calls by various niche operators at the end of 2011 and early 2012, said POLB.
POLB officials said that the "modest rise in August points to a slight recovery during peak season and the second half of the year."
Total August volumes at the Port of Los Angeles dipped 2.3 percent to 706,669 TEU, which is in line with June and July's 698,847 TEU and 726,375, respectively.
Imports fell 4.1 percent to 376,189 TEU, ahead of June's 353,930 TEU and behind July's 371,859 TEU. August exports at 164,819 TEU dipped 10.5 percent annually and were behind June's 174,418 TEU and July's 165,581.
POLA total loaded containers (not including empties) were at 560,421 TEU for a 6.2 percent decline. On a year-to-date total TEU at POLA—at 5,443,248—are up 5.11 percent.
While the August numbers for these ports are close to recent months and are following seasonal trends, the verdict on Peak Season may be too early to tell at this point.
"We expect to see a little bit of a Peak Season, wrapping up in the latter part of August, through September and into early October," said Ben Hackett, president and maritime and trade consultancy Hackett Associates. "It likely won't be overly exciting, but it will be there."
Hackett said the relatively flat POLA and POLB numbers were mostly flat overall.

A look at the latest recalls and product warnings issued this week.
Chrysler Group is recalling a small number of Dodge Dart cars in the United States because the front seat-mounted side airbags may not deploy, according to safety regulators.
The automaker, controlled by Fiat SpA, is recalling Dart cars from model year 2013 that were equipped with the "Mopar 13" trim package because the airbags may not have been properly installed in the seat, according to documents filed with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
8K baby rattles recalled
Manhattan Toy is recalling more than 8,000 Quixel baby rattles due to a choking hazard. The rattles, which retailed for about $15 each, were sold at retailers nationwide. Consumers can return the rattles for a full refund.
Lowe's recalls ride-on lawn mowers
Denver Global Products is recalling about 11,000 ride-on lawn mowers sold exclusively at Lowe's Home Improvement stores. The vehicles, which retailed for about $3,000, are gas-powered four-wheeled vehicles designed to be used as a lawn mower, garden tractor or portable generator.
The mower blades can detach during use or start without being activated by the operator and the vehicle can move forward unexpectedly, posing a laceration hazard. Also, the fuel lines can leak, posing a fire hazard. The company has received more than 100 consumer complaints.
For more product recalls and safety information, visit the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Plies has joined the numerous public figures who have paid tribute to 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, with a YouTube video titled "We Are Trayvon." The track, which was produced by Filthy Beatz, was released via the Miami-native's YouTube page earlier this month, and is now available at all digital retailers. The song is now available to purchase at Plies' official webstore. What's more, 100% of the profits of single sales of "We Are Trayvon" will be donated to the Justice For Trayvon Martin Foundation.
Plies hopes that the release of "We Are Trayvon" will contribute to the growth of the Justice For Trayvon Martin Foundation and other organizations that are dedicating their efforts to remove elements of judgment while uplifting young black men in the eyes of the general public, as well as assisting other families that are suffering from similar situations as the parents of Trayvon Martin.
The Justice For Trayvon Martin Foundation was founded in 2012 with the mission of pursuing justice for all people of color on behalf of Trayvon Martin, the son of Sybrina Fulton & Tracy Martin. The main goal of the fund is to address the civil rights and social issues while addressing the uplifting and advancement of young minorities. The foundation also has set its sights on ultimately amending the "Stand Your Ground" law, which is enforced in Florida as well as many other states.

Although Don Henley is busy prepping for the upcoming Eagles tour, he took time out to talk about his upcoming solo project, called Cass County, which is his first new album in 13 years, and will be released in September. Cass County, which is Henley's fifth solo album, was co-produced by Henley's longtime collaborator, former Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers drummer, Stan Lynch.
Henley spoke to Jam! Music and shed some light on the album's title and back-story: "That's the name of the rural county I come from in northeast Texas. The album was recorded mostly in Nashville, with some additional recording done in Texas and California. The material on it is a reflection of a part of my musical foundation -- songs I heard on the radio and on my parents' record player in the '50s and '60s."
Although the album has one foot planted firmly in the past -- Henley maintains that the album is relevant for his audience today, explaining, "It's not exactly a 'retro' album, but neither does it reflect much of what's going on in 'modern' music. It's primarily a record for grown-ups -- people who've done some living. It explores the landscape of memory and experience. There are a few cover songs on the album, but most of the content is new, original material."
Henley went on to add: "The mood of the country has changed since the '60s. I think there's always a place for a little social commentary -- after all, that is one of the basic principles of rock, folk, blues and country music -- but you can't hit people over the head with it; you can comment, but you can't preach."

Scorecarding is a growing practice by both brand owners and retailers. Retailers like WalMart and Tesco have stated ambitious goals in the area of sustainability, and are requiring more and more environmental information from their suppliers. Waste reduction is also a huge cost reduction for these companies, which helps further drive the sustainability trend.
Kodak is very dedicated to sustainability with regard to its packaging portfolio.
Our Prinergy PowerpackWorkflow Solutions automate and streamline labor-intensive processes, reducing errors, waste and redundancy, while our prepress solutions for flexo, offset and letterpress printing plates offer industry-leading pressroom performance, helping reduce overall plate usage and optimize environmentally-advantaged processing. For example: Miraclon Letterpress Plates process with tap water, and Trillian SP Thermal Plates significantly reduce chemistry and energy usage. We also offer process optimization consulting services that can help our customers automate processes, and reduce waste and environmental footprint without sacrificing shelf appeal in the final printed package.

The most important task of a brand owner is to preserve and protect the equity of their brand in the eyes of consumers and retailers around the world. In today's global market, managing and protecting the brand while producing products globally and sustainably drives a lot of brand owner decisions. Consumer, retail and supply chain needs can be very different in different parts of the world – and these differences can mean inconsistencies in brand appearance – or worse yet, actual brand piracy. To protect the brand, the brand owner needs brand content management and prepress systems that can account for these differences, to create consistent-looking packaging around the world.
Taken as a whole, Kodak's packaging portfolio helps brand owners to protect their brands by:
Keep up on the latest industry trends.
In developed nations, populations are aging and companies that sell packaged goods are working to design and produce packages that appeal to older consumers. Labels are easier to read, and tabs and tops are easier to grip and open. In the packaged food market, smaller portion sizes are increasingly available, and there's a shift toward packaged prepared meals.
In emerging markets, populations are migrating from rural to urban areas, resulting in higher demand for packaged goods, particularly foods. Incomes are also on the rise, driving demand for packaged goods. In these markets, brand piracy is a growing concern.
From a manufacturer's perspective, urbanization raises labor costs, driving a manufacturing shift to lower-cost labor markets such as Vietnam and Bulgaria. Corporate headquarters tend to remain in the developed nations.
These global demographic trends signal several market opportunities:
Retailers are using their increasing leverage to compete against CPGs with private label store brands that bring retailers higher margins than the CPG brands they sell. In fact, private label brands in developed nations far exceed the growth of national brands from CPGs. Private labels now account for 45 - 50% of the sale of supermarket goods in Europe and 19 - 20% in the United States, and have become a rich source of revenue for large retailers worldwide. While private label brands initially competed mostly on price, now retailers want their private label packages to capture the attention of discerning consumers and compete on quality and value with national brands.
Brand owners and retailers have also discovered the impact of highly targeted marketing and have moved away from mass marketing techniques. Better, more unique packaging graphics that incorporate more local and regional promotions, and the use QR codes to give consumers more information, will result in shorter packaging runs, more SKU versions and the need to bring products to market quicker.
The Kirk Group uses FLEXCEL NX WIDE Plates to produce mouth-watering flexible food packaging.
Driving impact and efficiency from concept to consumer.
MRI delivers packaging shelf impact for clients using KODAK FLEXCEL NX System.

Yes, there is bureaucratic merit to being boring, as reflected in the EMA's record of having achieved its prime commitment to meet legislated review deadlines for new drug applications in every one of its 15 years of operation. Much of the credit is attributed to the Agency's outgoing Executive Director, Thomas Lonngren of Sweden, whose five-year term—his second and final, as required by statute—expires on Dec. 31. "Lonngren is not part of a revolving door; his tenure brought stability, and in doing so he has kept the Agency independent," says industry spokesman Brian Ager, who is himself leaving the top job at the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) after 16 years. Quietly, without much fanfare, Lonngren has made the EMA the "reserve currency" in global drug regulation, pursuing novel approaches to the evaluation of pediatric and orphan drugs; risk management and conditional approvals; expedited pathways for advanced therapies; and partnerships with industry around innovation, culminating in the €2 billion ($2.65 billion) Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) to speed development of new standard-of-care therapies. Many companies now see the EMA as a better bet against the FDA "gold standard" in obtaining a fair hearing without the political curveballs thrown by the many interests who see authorization as essentially a lobbying exercise.
An advantage for Lonngren is that unlike the FDA, the Agency is autonomous. It does not report directly to the EU Commission or the European Parliament but to a Management Board composed of a cross-section of institutions ranging from the member states to the EU agencies and even patient representatives. In that regard, the European process remains in many ways an insider game—you know which stakeholders count and how to target them.However, expectations around the Agency are rising. There is no guarantee Lonngren's successor will be able—or suited—to pursue his low-key Nordic approach, even if the next Executive Director comes from the national agencies (as is likely). Tighter management of risk against the need to jumpstart pipeline innovation is a benchmark issue for Europe, just as it is for regulators in the US. The Agency is inheriting from the member states more oversight on pharmacovigilance, which is certain to attract more scrutiny from the European Parliament. Pressure will increase on the Agency to address the politically charged question of why member countries have different levels of access to medicines, especially now that jurisdiction over the Agency has shifted from the EU Commission's DG-Enterprise to the Public Health directorate, where activists enjoy more clout. Politics also intervened in an unsuccessful effort to downgrade the job level, even as the function itself becomes more vital to the EU's post-Lisbon treaty integration agenda.
With Lonngren now poised to move on—to a post advising governments, professionals, and the industry on the drug regulatory process—Pharm Exec Editor-in-Chief William Looney sat down with him in London last month to review his record, sift through the next wave of regulation, and highlight what's not on the industry's own reform agenda—but should be.

Ok I have dabbled long enough with out sharing anything of my own creations. Compared to you fellow Master Cartographers out there this is a very good example of where I am starting from
I am building a game world that will be played on iTabletop.com,
basically the game starts a month out to sea on a massive chartered ship and due to circumstances out of the players control they find themselves on little up crops of islands looking at a massive cliff (that goes above the line of sight due to a near permanent storm cloud ceiling at about 1250 feet and encircles the entire Island) that a sea level has various depth shorelines with jungles topping out about 500 feet in height. The adventures will be able to "barely" make out on various parts of the cliffs what "could be" ledges with forests and civilization.
well here is my first map for the world. I am using Gimp 2 and have just started figuring out how to use the different features of the program. (hard to believe I used to use Photoshop 15 yrs ago to do this type of stuff and forgot it all...)

RUSTON - Just over 30 years have passed since the Thomas Assembly Center hosted its first college basketball games as the home to the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs and Lady Techsters has seen some great teams, players, coaches and opponents which have all led to many memorable games.
Since that night on Dec. 4, 1982 when Southern Cal and UL-Lafayette (then known as Southwestern Louisiana) spoiled the facility openers for both the Lady Techsters and Bulldogs, few opponents have been able to match the success that the Trojans and Ragin' Cajuns had that night.
As part of the celebration of the arena's 30-year anniversary, LATechSports.com has picked out 30 of the most memorable games as we relive some of the most incredible wins, heart-stopping finishes and big-time players who have ever graced the TAC floor.
With the Bulldogs having won 275 games and the Lady Techsters having won 414 games inside the confines of the Thomas Assembly Center, there were plenty of great games to choose from and plenty of incredible games that aren't included in the list below.
This just shows the amazing success that LA Tech teams have seen in Ruston over the past three decades.
LATechSports.com is asking Tech fans to rank their top 10 favorite moments from the list below as we will compile the votes over the next six weeks and release the fan voting in late-February.
