A lightweight bout between top prospect Alexandre "Popo" Bezerra (11-1 MMA, 3-0 BFC) and UFC vet Doug Evans (13-9 MMA, 0-0 BFC) has been added to next week's Bellator 57 event.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) today confirmed the booking with event sources.
Bellator 57 takes place Nov. 12 at Casino Rama in Rama, Ontario, Canada.
Bellator 57's main card, which takes place the same day as UFC on FOX 1, begins at a special time of 7 p.m. ET/PT on MTV2. The prelims stream live on Spike.com.
Bezerra vs. Evans likely will be a featured preliminary-card bout.
Bezerra, a Brazilian submission ace, has won all three of his Bellator fights (over Sam Jones, Jesse Gross and Scott Heckman) via stoppage. Bezerra's lone career loss came via submission in a September 2009 bout with current UFC contender Charles Oliveira. Ten of his 11 wins have via stoppage (four knockouts and six submissions).
Evans, meanwhile, turned pro in 2005 and has fought for organizations such as the UFC, EliteXC and Shark Fights in recent years. He looks to snap out of a two-fight skid, which included summer losses to Alexander Sarnavskiy (submission) and Antonio Carvalho (decision). Prior to the losses, he was on a solid 6-2 run that included six stoppage wins.

TCI Automotive EZ-TCU 4L60E - Shift ChangeWritten by Gerry Burger on August 1, 2012 Contributors: Brian Brennan Controlling the 4L60E has never been easier
Remember when the "new" 700-R4 came on the scene? Well, the 700-R4 was introduced 30 years ago in 1982 and is still a solid choice for an overdrive transmission for carbureted cars. The GM 4L60E evolved from that transmission in 1997, yes, the 4L60E is 15 years old (don't ask me how that happened so quickly) and while it is hardly new technology, the 4L60E through 4L80 transmissions are by far the best overdrive automatic transmissions on the planet. And after waiting 20 years, maybe it's time for one in your hot rod.
The 4L60E nomenclature can be broken down like this, four-speeds, longitudinally positioned, 6,000 pounds gross vehicle weight (GVW), electronically controlled. While the 6 designates 6,000 pounds GVW, it should be noted the transmission is used in trucks weighing over 8,000 pounds, so this is one very tough tranny.
While the transmission is 20 years old, new technology to simplify and improve the controls of this electronically shifted transmission continues to come on the scene. Much like electronically controlled engines, swapping a 4L60E as well as the 4L70E, 4L80E, and 4L85E and the TCI Automotive 6x Six-Speed Transmission is now easier than ever. TCI Automotive introduced a controller for this family of transmissions. It's hard to beat the new TCI Automotive EZ-TCU.
No computer experience is required, simply wire the car as per the directions, plug in the included handheld device, and begin reading and answering the simple Setup Wizard questions as they appear on the screen. The EZ-TCU does all the work for you; if you can read this story (or know someone who can) you can install this controller. The initial setup will work for most street rodders, but should you want to dial in a performance mode setting for running the local autocross or dragstrip, which can be done in similar fashion. Simply scroll through the advanced settings and pick shift points by rpm, shift firmness, and shift speed. You can take these settings all the way to the extreme of making your 4L60E a full manual shift transmission, controlled by paddles on a steering wheel or with one of the TCI Automotive bump-up, bump-down shifters. Bear in mind if you go to full-manual shifting there's no shift point, so not over-revving the engine becomes your responsibility. It's strongly recommended that some type of rev-limiter be installed on the motor to prevent unwanted damage. Once you have designed your performance mode it can be saved for future use. This enables you to drive to an event in a comfortable, economical mode and then, with the push of a button, convert the transmission to your performance setting. Plus, the hand-held controller doubles as a code reader for the transmission so should there be a problem with the transmission the handheld device can read the codes for you. Pretty cool stuff.
The 4L60E family of transmissions is easy to find in any wrecking yard or you can order a completely rebuilt unit from companies like TCI Automotive. The bellhousing flange will permit this transmission to bolt up to virtually any small-block, big-block, and even the Chevrolet V-6. There is a big difference between a 4L60E from a 2.8-liter and one from the more desired 5.7-liter or an LS1. Be certain you are purchasing a V-8 transmission for your street rod. If you plan on using this transmission with a carbureted engine you must install a throttle position sensor, and frankly the 700-R4 is probably a more cost-effective way of providing an overdrive transmission for the early carbureted motors.
With this new simple controller available there is more reason than ever to convert to a modern transmission. If this simplified controller isn't enough to have you looking for an overdrive transmission, the $4 per gallon gas should provide additional incentive.
The 12-Step Program
Yes, you can install an overdrive transmission in your street rod, and it is a relatively simple process if you take it one step at a time. After locating a good or rebuilt transmission, here are the 12 basic steps toward your new transmission. Of course some things may vary a bit from one car to the next, but this is a general outline of the installation process as outlined by our friends at TCI Automotive. When you receive your EZ-TCU it will come with much more detailed instructions.
1. Connect the trans and output shaft speed connectors from the wiring harness to the transmission. Route the rest of the harness into the engine compartment.
2. Determine the appropriate method for getting an rpm signal into the TCU. Install the rpm module if needed. Connect the wiring harness to the rpm signal source.
3. Connect the wiring harness to a TPS signal source.
4. If a mechanical speedometer will be used, install the optional TCI Automotive SCU and connect the wiring harness to it.
5. Find a suitable location and mount the TCU. Make sure the wiring harness will reach the mounting location.
6. Connect the Battery POS and Battery NEG wires directly to the battery. These must be run independently to the battery. Do not splice other power or ground wires into these wires. Extend the wires if necessary to reach the battery. Use automotive grade 16-gauge (or larger) wire.
7. Connect the 12V switched wire to a switched ignition source (hot in on/run and crank). Do not connect to the positive side of an ignition coil.
8. If manual shifting will be used, route the manual shifting connector into the cockpit and wire in an enable switch and a pair of buttons for upshift and downshift.
9. To use the Forced TCC Lockup feature, route the TCC apply wire into the cockpit and connect it to a switch or button.
10. To access performance mode, route the economy/performance wire into the cockpit and connect it to a switch.
11. If an electronic speedometer will be used, route the speedometer output wire into the cockpit and connect it to the speedometer.
12. Connect the wiring harness to the TCU.
4L60E ID Guide
Late 4L60E 1997-2006: The most notable difference between the 4L60E and the 700-R4 and early 4L60 is the six-bolt tail housing pattern on the new transmission and the two-piece bellhousing.
GM Designations:
4lL60E: M30
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
This tailshaft comparison shows the 700-R4 on the left with a four-bolt tailshaft, while the 4L60E on the right has a six-bolt tailshaft.Visually the 4L60E (and 4L65E, 70E, 80E, and 85E) are recognizable by the three-piece casing, bellhousing, main body, and tailshaft. The ribbed bellhousing is a quick reference point too.The speed sensor is located on the passenger side of the tailshaft and feed vital information to the controller. It sounds technical, but all you have to do is follow the directions and plug the speed sensor into the supplied wiring harness.With the 4L60E bolted to your GM motor all that is left is making the wiring connections. Sources like TCI Automotive will help you make the right torque converter selection.A new urethane transmission mount from TCI will insulate us from any unwanted vibration, yet hold the transmission firmly in place at the same time.Following the detailed instructions the installation is easy. Feeding the wires inside the cabin and mounting the TCI Automotive EZ-TCU under the dashboard keeps things cool, dry, and away from unwanted "electrical noise" from things like ignitions and alternators.The handheld unit is included in the kit and after turning the power on you simply answer a series of simple questions and you are ready to drive. You can also program a performance mode and switch from street to performance with the push of a button.Speaking of plug-and-play, we made the connection to the electric speedometer under the dash too. We're getting close to turning on the power.

Unemployment Unhealthy, Too
February 21, 2013
A household environment in which no one is bringing home a paycheck is an unhealthy one. Ask anyone who's had to cope with the challenge of feeding children healthy meals on food stamps....
story after story of Govt. Fed, State,Local wasting the peoples money with more and more programs and "laws" that are not productive. Growing costs and debts unending while piling on the costs and debts to the average citizen. Causing more and more avaerage people to become dependent upon the various Govt. programs. Our Govt. at all levels are doing a big dis service to the people.When our Federal Govt. excessive spending fails and it will, millions will be in deep trouble. Left to fend for themselves, but having no way of knowig how, since they have depended upon "the system" for years. The truth will come out,people's eyes will open, but may be to late to help at that point.

The ignorant loons in Congress need to be replaced with thinking human beings. Not one of them is introducing any kind of counter proposal or debating issues openly for all to hear. Once we get a congress with people who can think, debate and not fall for fictional stories as truh, things can and will change. All Boehner knows is vacation time for Congress and saying no. If the sequester goes as Boehner plans, the right wing extremists days will be numbered. Just the cuts coming to the airline industry will make corporate America puke. Cut backs on air traffic controllers and TSA workers will turn that industry to gridlock. The layoff of hundreds of thousands who work in the "war industry" will cripple many states and send America into recession. Our Congress is more dangerous than the Taliban.

Where do Communist Democrat's get the idea that thousands of government workers are going to lose their jobs? They are going to be given a few days off without pay. Seriously Commies, Google"Furlough". Educate yourselves and quite spewing the lies and hatred that your commie presidents keeps stuffing in your empty heads. I think that a furlough of government employees is an acceptable sacrifice since Mr. Communist President believes that we all should have skin in the game.

It's difficult to tell from that statement which you hate worse – laying off poor "war industry" workers or employing evil "war industry" workers. I'd ask you to explain, but the last thing we need here is more hoopie blah blah blah. LOL

Hoopie posts, "Cut backs on air traffic controllers and TSA workers will turn that industry to gridlock."
From ABC News, "But all the dire warnings give the impression the cuts are much larger than they actually are. Take today's White House example: The Department of Transportation. The Department of Transportation's budget for 2013 is $74.2 billion. The automatic spending cuts would slice $1 billion out of its budget: that is a cut of less than 1.4 percent. And consider this: even if the cuts go into effect, the Department of Transportation will spend more money this year ($73.2 billion) than it spent last year ($72.6 billion)."
Obama ground trooper Hoopie continues the deception! I'm sure all those doors she knocked on while stumping for Obama got equally accurate information!! LOL

""Cut backs on air traffic controllers and TSA workers will turn that industry to gridlock."
The FAA's share of the cutback is approx $600 million out of their $15,172 million budget (Google Dept of Transporation 2013 Fiscal budget). So if the traveling public bears the brunt, it would only be due to the FAA's spending priorities. From USA Today, "•The amount of money spent on low-priority projects hit a record $507 million in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30. That's nearly five times the amount in 1998, when the FAA established a new ranking system for airport projects.
•More than $2 billion in low-priority funds has gone to airports used mostly by private jets and piston-engine planes, including $700 million for terminals. Pellston Regional Airport in Michigan used $7.5 million in federal funds to build a terminal with stone fireplaces and cathedral ceilings. The airport averages three departures a day."

So pay to the benefit the general public or to fund a politicians regional airport for his cronies?? Maybe Hoopie is right! Maybe we are screwed!

I find it somewhat hypocritical that the President accuses Republicans of not bargaining to protect private jet owners, yet threatens airport dysfunction while the FAA subsidizes unprofitable regional airports (i.e. the home of private jet owners).

I use GMail as an email archive (good idea? open to alternatives), so using IMAP causes messages that have been downloaded to Outlook (soon to be Zimbra), read and deleted from Outlook to be deleted from the GMail server. No more archive. (Correct me if I'm wrong anywhere along the line).
I've been using POP3 in Outlook. It allows the download of messages without disturbing the original on the GMail server. Why can't I do that with Zimbra? What is the benefit to using IMAP?
Also (this is before completely installed), Zimbra seems a little slow even compared to Outlook. I'm trying it as an alt to Outlook because Outlook can get so bloated and slow. Am I wasting my time?

Hi all,
I have to import a larger number of PST files into Zimbra. PST import wizard works ok. The only problem:
The pst files contain localized foldernames:
Calendar -> Kalender
Contacts -> Kontakte
The import wizard creates a new folder "Kalender" in the users mailbox and puts all the appointments into this new folder while the default Calendar folder remains empty.
I know that it is not to difficult to move all the items to the correct folder, but I wonder if there is a way to tell the import wizard to put the items in the correct folder during the import?

Marquis 50 SCBy Capt. Patrick Sciacca
Sitting in a marina full of white fiberglass vessels of varying sizes and shapes was this dark-hulled, silken-looking, 50-foot, triple-IPS-powered express sport cruiser. While the Marquis 50 Sport Coupe's appearance was in stark contrast to a majority of the vessels docked at Bahia Mar, she shared a familial look with two Palmer Johnson megayachts out by the face dock. Why the resemblance? Both this 50-footer and those megayachts feature lines courtesy of Italian design firm Nuvolari Lenard. A question entered my mind: Was this Italian-designed and American-built cruiser actually a mini-megayacht?
The first indication that this may be the case came while I was looking over her profile; this was no two-part, pop-out-of-the-mold vessel. In fact, there are three large molds that make up the Marquis 50: one for the hull, one for the side decks and hull sides, and one for the superstructure and hardtop. These molds sport more than 40 inserts that help create the design elements ranging from the hardtop's wing-like spoiler feature to the multitude of inset windows. Even with the tedious demands of removing every single insert before a section can be popped out of the mold, the total build time for one of these lookers is just a little less than one month.
That time includes constructing the 50 with a solid-fiberglass bottom to the waterline, PVC foam core for the hull sides, and quarter-inch balsa core in other strategic areas where strength is needed without adding unnecessary weight. Another weight-saving feature is her carbon fiber retractable hardtop, which also allows for an open feel at the port-side helm while providing a flood of light throughout the bridge-deck and saloon areas. When I ran our test boat off the coast of Fort Lauderdale in three- to five-foot seas with a small chop on top, the 50 felt solid underfoot, and that hardtop never budged or creaked.
My test boat's modified-V hull form was well mannered in the slop, too. Her running-surface design is a collaborative effort between Nuvolari Lenard, Marquis, and Volvo Penta. Since the 50 features Volvo Penta's IPS system, the engine manufacturer requires third-party confirmation of all hulls designed to accommodate its forward-facing drives. Once the Nuvolari Lenard team drew the hull, Volvo Penta had naval architecture firm Donald L. Blount and Associates perform a bottom study. In addition, Marquis had its own staff ensure the 50's running surface was the one the builder wanted.
With all that expertise fine-tuning the hull form, it's no wonder my test boat's triple 435-hp IPS 600 diesels propelled her to a top hop of 43.8 mph. At a 3000-rpm cruise, the 50 effortlessly made 36 mph while the motors consumed a total of 48 gph. This speed is also her most efficient, earning 0.75 mpg.
She's not only speedy and efficient but she's maneuverable, too. I easily turned her in her length via the IPS joystick and slid her sideways just as easily. The drive system provides a feeling of confidence at all times, even with a stiff crosswind and docks close at hand. In addition, the Volvo Penta single-lever controls offered smooth shifting and were rivaled in feel only by its fly-by-wire electric steering.
So the 50 has megayacht looks and turn-on-a-dime handling, but does she have a big-boat interior? In a word, yes.
It starts with the main-deck saloon, which benefits from headroom that averages seven feet and tops out about six inches more than that. This area's volume further benefits from the cabin-wide raked windshield and aforementioned retractable glass hardtop. Add in the two massive side windows spanning the length of the house, and the area feels like a solarium.
Her interior's appearance is contemporary with two Ultrasuede chairs to starboard, reminiscent of those you might find in an upscale Manhattan loft. A dark Brazilian-cherry sole and U-shape Ultraleather settee to port add to the sophisticated feel. The saloon seating is also complemented by a special table.
Accenting the abundant high-gloss Zebrona (cherry is also available) throughout the saloon is black-stained wood. Its finish is called Steinway—think baby grand piano—and it imparts a luxurious, high-gloss look that is achieved via baking. The finish is applied in a spray booth, then flash-baked with UV rays, creating an appearance that's not only glossy but hard and durable. The lustrous look is highlighted at night by no fewer than 21 overhead LED lights throughout the saloon, which aren't just bright, they're efficient, drawing only one-quarter of an amp each. In comparison, a typical halogen light draws a full amp per light.
The double-wide port-side lower helm seat has the same Ultraleather finish as the saloon seating. Just across from them the galley up has a black-and-silver color scheme derived from stainless steel appliances and silver-metallic painted cabinets.
While my test boat scored high marks in most every category, her Hull No. 1 status meant there were naturally a few fine-tuning measures needed, such as tidying up the caulking around some of the inset windows and cleaning up the adhesive sticking out around some of those LED lights. In addition, I found a few drawers loose on their tracks in the master head.
After a successful day of sea-trialing, it was back to Bahia Mar so I could catch my flight home. But just prior to returning the 50 to her slip, we maneuvered her alongside a champagne-colored Palmer Johnson to do a little side-by-side comparison. The resemblance was even stronger than it had been earlier in the day. This 50-footer is a mini-megayacht.
For more information on Marquis Yachts, including contact information, click here.
Multitasking is a part of your everyday life, so why should your boat be any different? This high-gloss table in the 50's saloon does double duty as a coffee table and a formal dining area. With the flick of a switch, a ram lifts the table up and towards the Ultraleather seating area. Just fold open the table to its full length and, voila, dinner for six.—P.S.

Trucking news: Evans launches Evans Freight Services brokerage group
June 25, 2010
Third-party logistics (3PL) services provider Evans announced this week it s rolled out a freight brokerage division, entitled Evans Freight Services (EFS).
Company officials said EFS was rolled out to complement its logistics service offerings and address what it sees as an emerging need in the marketplace. During its 25 year history, Evans has provided freight services for North American shippers in various sectors, including: mining, truck parts, construction equipment, food ingredient manufacturing/processing, and plastics industries for 25 years.
"Plans to re-engage in the brokerage business started toward the end of 2009. Evans started as a brokerage business," said Tom Aumann, head of Evans' EFS division. "Based on our deep experience in this service offering, we started to see an unfulfilled need with manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers on the logistics services side of our business. They were experiencing difficulty accessing carriers and seeing diminishing service levels as the economy improved and demand for transportation outpaced supply."
In terms of shipper benefits, Aumann noted that strong service and the strength of Evans' carrier network, coupled with the company's technology and experience, will play a role in providing brokerage customers with an easy, cost-effective way to access transportation capacity throughout their supply chain.
"Nearly all of our clients have been with us for a decade or more because of our disciplined execution and service," said Aumann. "I believe our growing stable of brokerage clients will experience similar satisfaction as we produce a significant, positive impact on their supply chain."
More than 300 Evans clients participate in our freight brokerage division, and Aumann said Evans expects continued growth in terms of staffing and new accounts. He said the company is managing more transactions for clients than ever before as its month-over-month marketplace penetration continues to expand.

Collins worried David Wright might go on disabled list
NEW YORK — Mets manager Terry Collins is worried David Wright may wind up on the disabled list because of a neck injury.
New York's captain and third baseman was out of the starting lineup for the third straight day Monday because of his neck. He was given anti-inflammatory medicine over the weekend.
Now 33, Wright was on the disabled list from April 15 to Aug. 24 last year when he strained his right hamstring and then developed spinal stenosis. He has a lengthy physical therapy routine he must go through before each game.
"With the condition he's been playing in and the condition he's in right now, yeah, I'm concerned about it," Collins said Monday. "Is it going to happen? I can't tell you. I don't know. I'm not a doctor. I know this guy plays with a lot of discomfort. He always has. And when he can't play, he's hurt."
Wright homered in three straight games last week before getting hurt. He is batting .226 with seven homers, 14 RBIs and 55 strikeouts in 137 at-bats.
Settling the Scores: Memorial Day edition
Getty Images
Memorial Day commemorates the men and women who died in military service. At some point in the past couple of decades, however, it has become an all-purpose flag-waving, patriotism-declaring, civilians-in-camouflage holiday. It's understandable why this is the case. We, as a country, haven't always done mourning well. I think it's part of our national cultural DNA that we don't and it's not necessarily a bad thing, but it does make days like this difficult.
I feel like the flag-waving and troop-supporting stuff is some sort of subconscious reaction to death. It's our way of instantly trying to justify those deaths or to explain how they were not in vain, much the same way we might tell someone upon the death of a loved one that they're in a better place or that they had a full life. Feeling the pain of loss is hard. We want to soften it in any way we can and make our pain serve a larger, better purpose. And so we get today, when Major League Baseball puts its players in camouflage caps and in jerseys with camouflage logos. They'll sell them too, with proceeds going to good and noble veterans charities. The intent is noble and the ultimate effect of it all is beneficial. But it's also a little beside the point. Maybe not beside the point as much as mattress sales or big celebratory barbecues which have come to characterize Memorial Day for so many, but still not exactly the purpose of the holiday.
I don't condemn it. As I wrote last year, the men and women who actually fought and died in wars were hoping that they were, ultimately, making a better and happier world for those they left behind. And they no doubt hoped, among everything else they hoped, that others didn't have to face what they were facing. They wanted our lives to be happy and our country to be safe and part of a happy and safe country involves 300 million people doing whatever it is they damn please, even if it's just having barbecues and wearing camo at the ballpark.
I won't say have a happy Memorial Day because that seems odd. Have any kind of Memorial Day you want, really, even if it includes barbecuing, drinking beer and wearing a cam ballcap. But as you do, please make sure you take some time to think about those who died in military service. And remember that they didn't get to have as many days like the one you're having as they were meant to have. And make at least some effort to offset your happy, patriotic or silly pursuits with some mourning and reflectiveness. It's OK for that to stand on its own.

Should Dave Roberts have taken Clayton Kershaw out of Sunday's game?
Elsa/Getty Images
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts will likely be second-guessed heavily during Monday's news cycle. Starter Clayton Kershaw had pitched a terrific ballgame, as is his tendency, but with 114 pitches to his name, Roberts decided to pull him from the game in the eighth inning with two outs and a runner on first base.
Roberts opted not for closer Kenley Jansen, who hasn't pitched since Wednesday, but for another lefty in Adam Liberatore. He was playing the numbers, with the left-handed-hitting Curtis Granderson coming up. Liberatore, much to Roberts' chagrin, served up what turned out to be a game-tying triple to Granderson, hitting a rocket to right-center just out of the reach of a leaping Yasiel Puig.
Jansen has, for six years, been one of the game's elite relievers. Kershaw, though at a high pitch count, doesn't seem to suffer from the times through the order penalty like most pitchers. Kershaw's opponents' OPS facing him for the first time was .525 coming into Sunday. Twice, .597. Three times, .587. Four times, .526 (but this suffers from survivorship bias so it's not exactly representative).
Furthermore, Kershaw held lefties to a .546 OPS over his career. Liberatore, in 99 plate appearances against lefty hitters, gave up a .575 OPS. Jansen? .560. It seems that, faced with three decisions, Roberts arguably made the worst one. Playing conservative with Kershaw at 114 pitches is defensible, but only if Jansen comes in. If Roberts wanted the platoon advantage, Kershaw should have stayed in.
Luckily for the Dodgers, Mets closer Jeurys Familia didn't have his best stuff. He loaded the bases with one out in the top of the ninth on a single and two walks, then gave up a two-run single to Adrian Gonzalez, giving the Dodgers a 4-2 lead. Jansen came on in the bottom half of the ninth and retired the side in order to pick up his 15th save of the season.
Royals sweep White Sox over the weekend on three late rallies
Ed Zurga/Getty Images
The Royals had themselves a pretty good weekend. The quickly fading White Sox, not so much.
On Friday, the Royals fell behind 5-1 after the top of the sixth. They would score once in the bottom of the sixth, four times in the seventh, and once in the eighth to steal a 7-5 win facing pitchers Miguel Gonzalez Dan Jennings, Matt Albers, Zach Duke and Nate Jones.
On Saturday, the Royals entered the bottom of the ninth down 7-1. They scored seven runs on closer David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle to win 8-7.
On Sunday, the Royals were down 4-2 after the top of the eighth. They plated three runs in the bottom half of the eighth against Jones and Albers, going on to win 5-4.
Coming into the weekend, the Royals were 24-22 in third place. The White Sox were 27-21, a half-game up in first place. Now the Royals are in first place by a game and a half, and the White Sox are in third place, two games out of first.
Here's video of the Royals' comeback on Saturday, since it was so unlikely:

Gigamon® announced on Tuesday the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) has selected its GigaVUE-HD4, part of its flagship H Series line of solutions, as part of the Joint Regional Security Stack (JRSS), a component of the Department of Defense's (DOD) Joint Information Environment (JIE). Within the DISA's security stack, the GigaVUE-HD4 will enable DISA to establish a higher intelligence management, analysis and security solution for their network infrastructure. The GigaVUE-HD4 nodes will be deployed to fifteen sites spanning the continental US and locations in southwest Asia, providing pervasive traffic visibility and manageability of DOD's infrastructure leading to lower operational cost, reduced security risk and less downtime on this critical DOD network.
The DISA's deployment of Gigamon's solutions is part of the larger shared (DOD) IT architecture plan. The United States Air Force, Army, DISA and Army Cyber Command and Army Network Enterprise Technology Command are currently working to develop a new architecture-sharing and modernization plan that is expected to increase efficiency and network security, and in parallel reduce overall future spending requirements by approximately $1.2 billion over a five year period. As a component part of the new IT architecture plan, the Gigamon Visibility Fabric will increase network visibility while contributing to the cost-savings expectations of the new plan.
"We take great pride in being selected as one of the companies to help take on the very large and complex job of providing intelligent network traffic visibility for the Joint Information Environment," said Paul Hooper, CEO, Gigamon. "As the breadth and scale of networks continue to increase, so does the volume of information moving across those networks. Organizations in both the private and public sectors are faced with the challenges of management and monitoring tools that are overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information that needs to be processed, and by the need to reduce capital and operational costs. By providing intelligent visibility to information that is flowing across networks, Gigamon is able to help defense, civilian and intelligence agencies ensure relevant traffic is directed to the appropriate management and security instrumentation."
Part of Gigamon's flagship H Series line of solutions, the GigaVUE-HD4 is a high density chassis-based Visibility Fabric node that utilizes Gigamon's Flow Mapping® technology to intelligently filter, forward, replicate and manage the flow of traffic from production networks to management, analysis, monitoring and security tools. The GigaVUE-HD4 delivers up to 1.3Tb of connectivity in a data-center-ready 5RU form chassis that supports 1Gb, 10Gb, 40Gb and 100Gb connectivity allowing enterprises and data centers of all sizes and scale to deploy a powerful Visibility Fabric, resulting in lower operational costs, higher infrastructure flexibility and improved organizational agility.
About the Visibility Fabric architecture
At Gigamon we realized that delivering the visibility essential to manage, analyze and secure the complex system that is the IT infrastructure requires a new approach. With millions of traffic flows across thousands of endpoints, visibility needs to be pervasive, intelligent and dynamic. Using our patented, unique technology, we created an innovative new approach for delivering this visibility called the Visibility Fabric architecture. This new approach is intelligent and versatile in its ability to enable visibility into the network. For more information visit http://www.gigamon.com/traffic-visibility-fabric.

Associated Press Release
MACON, Ga. (AP) -- More than 60 Macon residents expressed concern over alleged police brutality and racial profiling at a community meeting with Mayor Robert Reichert.
The event Saturday was prompted by the death of Sammie Davis Jr. who was shot by Macon Police Officer Clayton Sutton in December at a Macon supermarket.. Davis was unarmed.
Macon resident Edward Davenport said that prior to Davis' death, he gave a list of complaints to the mayor concerning officers whose names had surfaced regarding brutality complaints in the black community." He claimed the mayor took no action.
A report on macon.com said (http://bit.ly/16BOf6d ) that a woman alleged her eight-year-old son was handcuffed for tossing pinecones.
The forum was organized by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the U.S. Department of Justice.

Trying to put nuclear genie back in the bottle
(Page 3 of 3)
But the passing of time alters the picture. The first and only use of atomic weapons changed history. Many countries now have nuclear weapons, and some of them, like North Korea, are unstable and threatening. Iran will soon have a bomb. Israel has had them for years. When will the next African dictator start shopping for nuclear weapons? We started it all in 1945 and ever since, we've been trying to control the development, sale and spread of nuclear weapons. Think of the money and people power expended every day to keep these real weapons of mass destruction out of the hands of fanatics.
The legacy of Aug. 9, 1945, is awesome and sobering.

"I chose the "print my design" option and love the print and card quality. The standard paper was the perfect thickness (not too thin and reasonably priced) for Save the Date cards! Will use WPD to print my invitations as well! Great service all around."
"I'm so happy with my Save the Date cards. I love that I was able to use my own design, very few sites let you do that. The process to upload my artwork was a bit confusing but chatting with the online customer service rep was incredibly helpful and made the process easy. I paid for expedited shipping and printing, but it was worth it because I had my cards in a day and a half! The paper quality is amazing, I definitely recommend upgrading to the thicker paper, it's as thick as a coaster and the printing looks great. My co-worker told me these are the best looking Save the Date cards he's ever seen. Thank you Wedding Paper Divas!"

When they finally arrived yesterday I was thrilled by both the brightness of color and the paper quality. AND they arrived about 5 days earlier than expected. Thank you very much."

Garmin Edge 800 GPS/HRM with Data Card $0.00
Garmin's Edge 800 GPS has nearly all of the same functions as their Edge 705, save for the wireless sharing of data from one unit to another. But if you're addicted to the latest technology, you'll love that it comes with the convenience and ease of a waterproof, rugged 2.6" touchscreen. The full color display is as easy to see in the bright daylight as it is at night, so should you choose to pay attention as you get yourself lost in new territory, you won't have to strain to see the route unfold. And you can see as much or as little info as you like with customizable screens.
Of course, it's a Garmin, so this Edge 800 GPS/HRM w/Data Card is fully GPS enabled. It's more sensitive than ever so it'll even work under tree cover, and it uses Garmin's HotFix satellite prediction to allow it to make faster calculations as you ride. It can show you where you are and give you turn by turn directions to get where you want to go. The best part is that data goes two ways with the 800 -- you can upload maps and routes from your PC or Mac into the Edge 800, and you can download the routes that you've just ridden for analysis or sharing with your friends or the world on the free Garmin Connect website. The cool thing about the sharing idea is that you can search for existing routes on the trails or roads you want to ride in a foreign location and upload them in your GPS so your vacation/ride time is spent efficiently.
And like the 705, the Edge 800 is ANT+ compatible. This means that the unit can read wirelessly transmitted data from other on-bike measuring devices. ANT+ transmitters broadcast in a small area at 2.4 GHz. Thanks to ANT+, the 800 can read information from powermeters, heart rate monitors, and speed/cadence sensors so that you can fine tune, monitor, and analyze each and every ride. In addition to the Garmin Connect site, the 800 works with Garmin's Training Center software, which is compatible with Mac and PC. The software is free and downloadable from the Garmin website. The 800 files are also compatible with Motion-Based, a web-based training data analysis and mapping site and with CyclingPeaks software. You can upload data directly into CyclingPeaks or move it from the Garmin software. Garmin also has software called Base Camp, and it lets you build a route on your computer, view it with elevations, and upload it into your Edge 800.
When riding with the 800, you can enable Virtual Partner, a rider you create, who exists only in the Garmin device and rides at your goal parameters. Motivation is tough to find, we know, but the workout planning, auto lap, and courses functions allow you to tailor your workouts, even compare successive rides over the same route to see if you're making progress with your fitness. Used with a heart rate strap, it will even count the calories you've burned over the course of your workout.
The Garmin Edge 800 GPS/HRM w/Data Card is Black w/blue trim. Besides ANT+ and GPS capability, it has a barometric altimeter, thermometer, and automatic time zone adjustment. It includes a premium heart rate strap and a speed/cadence sensor. The built-in base maps will get you started, and an included data card is preloaded with City Navigator so you'll have detailed maps for all of the U.S, Canada and Puerto Rico. You can add micro SD cards for extra storage or for super detailed topo maps. The 3.5 oz. Edge 800 has a 1/4 turn mount that installs without tools on the handlebars. It has a rechargeable Li-ion battery that gives the unit 15 hours of life before you'll have to plug it in and charge it with the included cable. The USB download cable is also included along with a quick start manual.
Please Note: The Garmin Edge 800 will work in extreme conditions without problems. It's rated for a temperature range from -4 to 140 degrees F (-20 to 60 degrees C) so we feel confident saying that if you can ride your bike, you could take it along with you. And if you're worried that gloved or even mitten covered hands will keep you from being able to operate the touchscreen on the 800, we welcome you to rest assured that it won't be a problem.

Awesome unit!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This Garmin unit is a perfect cyclist GPS unit. Granted, it is very expensive. However Competitive Cyclists offered it 25% off for the bundle so I ordered one. Came within the 3-5 days and I've been nothing but happy with my purchase. Very impressed with Competitive Cyclists!
The GPS signal seems way better than that of my Garmin Edge 500 and Forerunner 210 units. All the display options on the 800 are very helpful and fun to use. The navigation is a really cool function especially for longer rides. The thing I've enjoyed the most from upgrading to the 800 is the color touch screen. It's so easy to use and makes the riding experience even more enjoyable (if that were possible :p ).
The only problem I've come across is with the HR monitor and I've had the same problem with all of my other Garmin products. The HR monitor will spike with increased speed. It can be frustrating when I'm training and trying to use my HR to guide my workout. However I've found that it gets better when I don't dry my jerseys in the drying, always air dry! Besides it's better for the clothes anyways.
My Garmin 800 also took a while to locate the satellites. I ended up having to hard reset the unit and go to an open hill. After the initial 'locating satellites' that took approximately 10-15 minutes, it has located them within 15-30 seconds every time after.
If the navigation function isn't something you'd find useful then maybe go with something more like the Garmin 510 which still has the touch/color screen for a cheaper price.
Overall I am very pleased with my purchase and highly recommend it to any cyclist with some extra cash to blow.
best wedding present ever!!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Bought this as a wedding present,for some friends riding across North America next year o there tandem bike. The screen is clear and seems to be very accurate. Would not recommend,for quick rides but for touring its worth the $$$

On September 11, approximately 3,000 people were killed in the worst series ofterrorist attacks this country has ever seen. The vast majority of victims hadone characteristic, one major characteristic, in common: they were at work whenthey lost their lives. They were bond traders, chefs, firefighters, computerprogrammers, administrative assistants, custodians, vice presidents, and flightattendants. All were imperiled simply because they showed up for work that day.
In the weeks following the attacks, everyone in America -- from hotdogvendors standing beside their stainless-steel carts to the white-shirted Sundaynews commentators -- seemed to agree on one thing: that life in America wouldnever be the same. The post-9/11 world and workplace would be radicallydifferent, they agreed. How could it not be?
What does all the talk about September 11 and the recession mean for HR professionals? Are there any lessons to be learned?
The Wall Street Journal claimed, "The aftermath of the terrorist attacksposed an acid test for employers, often fundamentally changing theemployer-employee relationship." Elie Wiesel, a Nobel laureate, was quoted inParade magazine saying, "Now there is a before and after. Nothing will be thesame." And business consultant Morrie Shechtman, chairman of The ShechtmanGroup, a consulting firm specializing in corporate culture, professed that "ourbelief that our institutions will somehow protect us has been shattered. Thatincludes our nation, our local communities, and, yes, our workplaces."
But is the workplace so radically different today? Are workers more anxiousand distracted? Are employees choosing family picnics over promotions? Has theradical shift predicted by prognosticators materialized?
While it's certainly true that Americans feel more vulnerable on Americansoil, and that the U.S. military has shifted its focus to terrorism, and thatair travel has become much more cumbersome, the lingering impact of September 11on most employers and working Americans has been, frankly speaking, quitenegligible.
A study of 146 companies conducted by the Bureau of National Affairs inWashington, D.C., indicates that while employee anxiety did increase in threeout of four firms after the attacks, employee concerns have not had an impact onproductivity, absenteeism, tardiness, or the quality of work performed.
A study of 1,100 full-time workers by CareerBuilder found that productivityactually rose following the attacks, leading to the conclusion that America'sbusinesses managed to hum along quite nicely despite the horror.
This is not, however, what the media or consultants or vendors would have hadyou believe. In the wake of September 11, HR professionals were besieged by newsreports and advertisements screaming about the desperate need for everythingfrom heightened background checks, video monitoring, and executive security toenhanced EAP services, crisis planning, and teleconferencing technology.
Career counselors warned of a massive soul-searching among employees.Corporate psychologists discussed the inherent unpredictability ofpost-traumatic stress disorder. Diversity consultants advised managers to stayalert for increased discrimination. And why not? The country was in the midst offearful uncertainty, and as Madison Avenue has long known, fear sells.
The actual effects -- if they materialized at all -- differed from one company to another.
All of the concerns raised are valid, and should be considered, but themassive workplace changes predicted in September for the most part haven'tmaterialized.
Granted, 36 percent of people responding to a national Red Cross surveyclaimed to be spending less time at work and more time with family and friends,but the desire for greater work/life balance isn't a new trend. Neither is thesearch for more meaningful work. In fact, the majority of supposedly "new"workplace concerns raised after September 11 are really just extensions ofongoing challenges.
Workplace security? That had been a concern because of perceptions aboutworkplace violence. Video-conferencing and e-learning? They were already growingin popularity because of cost-savings. Multicultural awareness? This has been anissue at least since the Hudson Institute first released "Workplace 2000" in1987.
"One of the mistakes made by the media and by some business presenterspost-9/11 was the tendency to say that this or that has changed," says DavidStum, president of Aon Consulting's Loyalty Institute in Ann Arbor, Michigan."People may have been going to church more often or leaving work at 4 p.m. tohug their kids, but that doesn't mean true behavioral change has occurred. Theonly change we can state with assurance is that if a trend already existedbefore September 11, that trend has probably accelerated."
The other difficulty in trying to ferret out workplace changes is that it'shard to separate the events of that one day from the precipitous economicdownturn that followed. Many of the adjustments and difficulties experienced byemployers have more to do with downsizing, cost-cutting, and shrinking profitmargins than they do with September 11.
Ilene Gochman, practice director, organization measurement, at Watson WyattWorldwide in Chicago, says, "The emotional impact of September 11 and therecession are intertwined." And they are intertwined in some interesting ways.
The recession, for instance, has caused employees to feel much more uncertainabout the future of their jobs, and for good reason. Last year, more than 2million jobs were cut by U.S. companies, and unemployment leaped from 4.2percent in January 2001 to 5.8 percent in December. Instead of job-hopping inthe search for ever-greener pastures, today's employees are more likely tostay put and appreciate the work they have.
In just eight months last year, employee commitment as measured by AonConsulting's Workplace Commitment Index jumped from a five-year low to afive-year high. This was due to anxiety and uncertainty caused by both theevents of September 11 and the recession, Stum says. While employees in the late1990s were looking for any good reason to leave a company, now they are lookingfor any good reason to stay, he says. "People have a tendency to hunker downand ride through crises as best they can."
Instead of taking the generalized predictions of the media or consultants to heart, HR professionals should monitor the specific needs of their particular workforces.
Even though employees may appear to be more committed to their companiessince September 11, Stum cautions that the jump represents a false loyalty. "Wenow have people who show up regularly and aren't looking for otheropportunities," he says, "but they aren't bringing anything else to workeither. No creativity, no commitment to customer service or quality, and noloyalty to the goals of the organization." Once the economy improves andSeptember 11 gets further behind us, he predicts, employees will return to thejob-hopping habits of the late 20th century. And with baby boomers retiring anddemographic trends dramatically changing, there will be nothing to stop them.
"I liken it to the following analogy," Stum adds. "If there is only oneairline that flies out of Detroit, that one airline will get an awful lot offalse loyalty and repeat business from fliers. But once someone opens acompetitive airline next door, people aren't likely to be as loyal." It'sthe same thing with employment. Once the economy improves and companies starthiring, he says, anxiety levels and employee commitment are both likely toplummet.
So, what does all the talk about September 11 and the recession mean for HRprofessionals? Are there any lessons to be learned?
If you step back from day-to-day concerns about downsizing, work/life issues,and employee commitment, and take a look at the big picture, several thingsbecome clear.
First, it apparently takes a lot more than terrorist attacks, howeverhorrific, to disrupt the flow of American business. While it's been repeatedlystated that we live in an era of constant change, it's also true thatfundamental workplace, business, and human concerns change very slowly, if atall. Sure, new issues crop up on a daily basis -- such as coordinating militaryleave or providing employee grief counseling -- but that doesn't mean youshould take your eye off your company's long-term goals and objectives.
Second, although there were many reports about how September 11 was likely toaffect companies, the actual effects -- if they materialized at all -- differedfrom one company to another. Instead of taking the generalized predictions ofthe media or consultants to heart, HR professionals should monitor the specificneeds of their particular workforces. For example, instead of investing a greatdeal of money in teleconferencing technology because of widespread travel fear,companies should ask employees how they're feeling about travel and whether ornot they would prefer teleconferencing.
The third lesson is that retention is still the key HR issue. Finding andkeeping quality employees was an issue long before September 11, and even thoughunemployment has risen and downsizing receives a lot of press, HR professionalscannot be casual about the need to retain good employees. As Aon's WorkplaceCommitment Index indicates, employees are showing a desire to stay with theircompanies, but it's a desire born of fear. "HR directors should definitelystill be thinking about the war for talent," Gochman says. "When you look atdemographic trends, there simply aren't enough younger cohorts to take theplace of retiring boomers."
Finally, the catastrophic events of September 11 underscore how theunexpected can happen at any time. No one could have predicted that 19 peoplecould plan a terrorist attack of such immense and ingenious proportions. In thepost-9/11 workplace, it is still the job of HR to help build a lasting sense ofemployee pride and commitment that can carry companies through all kinds ofchallenges.

Man killed in Rosemont drive-by shooting identified | Crime
SACRAMENTO, CA - A man who was killed in a drive-by shooting in a south Rosemont neighborhood Thursday was identified by the Sacramento County coroner as 21-year-old Alexander Brian Chavez.
The shooting happened around 6:20 p.m. on the 4100 block of Westporter Drive. A man [Chavez] and woman were driving down the road in a white SUV when someone came up beside them in another car and started firing, Sacramento County sheriff's Sgt. Jason Ramos said.
Chavez's mother said her son had just picked up his girlfriend and was five minutes from home when he was shot.
"All indications are this vehicle was traveling after this guy was shot and ultimately came to a stop a distance where it had been," Ramos said. "So, we've got to go up and down this block to throughout the neighborhood knocking on doors, possibly around a corner or two trying to find out exactly where the shooting was."
Deputies canvassed the area into the night looking for possible witnesses and clues.
Neighbors reported hearing as many as six shots and then a woman screaming. Another witness reported seeing a dark car speed off.
The motive behind the shooting was not yet known. No description of the shooter was available.

Tips & Tools: VBAC or Repeat C-Section
How should I move forward after deciding to plan either a VBAC or a repeat c-section?
When planning a VBAC, what are some tips that can help avoid problems with the scar in my uterus in labor?
Are there some practices used in VBAC labors that I might want to avoid?
If my goal is VBAC, how can I increase the likelihood of giving birth vaginally?
What if I have unresolved emotional issues?
What if I can't find a hospital and caregiver who will support my wish for VBAC?
When having a repeat c-section, what are some tips for having a safer delivery?
What are some tips for having a satisfying cesarean birth experience?
How should I move forward after deciding to plan either a VBAC or a repeat c-section?Planned repeat cesarean may be the safest choice in a small number of situations, but for most mother-baby pairs, the overall risks of surgical delivery outweigh VBAC ("vee-back" or vaginal birth after cesarean) risks. If you do not have a clear and compelling need for a repeat cesarean, planning VBAC is far safer for you and any future pregnancies and babies. Thinking just of your baby in the current pregnancy, some rare but serious risks of VBAC need to be weighed against a number of more common risks of c-section. Planned VBAC is also likely to be the most emotional satisfying option for you.
If your birth plan is for VBAC, there are no guarantees that you will avoid another cesarean. However, you can take steps to increase your chances for having a safe and satisfying vaginal birth. Most of these steps are strongly supported by good research. Advance preparation in pregnancy can make all the difference. Careful choice of a doctor or midwife and birth setting that support and encourage VBAC and a trained or experienced companion who will be available to provide continuous labor support may be the most important things you can do. The Q&As that follow give detailed guidance about these and other tips to include in your pregnancy and birth plans.
While overall risks favor vaginal birth, you may have a repeat cesarean delivery for various reasons. There may be special considerations in your individual case, or some risks may be especially important to you and override others. Or your options may be limited by what is available in your community or through your health plan. Finally, no one can know what labor may bring. For these reasons, this section concludes with tips for having a safer and more satisfying cesarean birth.
When planning a VBAC, what are some tips that can help avoid problems with the scar in my uterus in labor?Try to:
Are there some practices used in VBAC labors that I might want to avoid?There appears to be no research showing benefits for using the following practices in VBAC labor, and they reduce the chances of vaginal birth, increase risk of harm, and/or increase discomfort. Should they be recommended in your case, you may wish to discuss the trade-offs with your caregivers. (See informed decision making for tips on discussing options with caregivers.):
If my goal is VBAC, how can I increase the likelihood of giving birth vaginally?(For additional ideas, see tips for lowering your chances of having an avoidable cesarean within Tips & Tools: C-Section.)
What if I have unresolved emotional issues?Some women who have had an extremely difficult or frightening prior birth experience or other traumatic experiences such as sexual abuse find that thinking about labor brings up such strong emotions that it interferes with their ability to make decisions. Unresolved issues can interfere with the smooth progress of labor as well. If you feel that you have unresolved emotional issues, you will want to work through them so that they don't get in your way when planning for or experiencing your next birth. Keeping a journal, talking through the troubling events and your concerns with a friend or relative who is a good listener, or getting peer support from other women with similar experiences may help with this. Getting professional counseling from a competent mental health professional who is well-informed about maternity issues helps many women resolve deep fear and anxiety.
Consider, too, what you will need during this birth to feel safe and well-cared for. If you were dissatisfied with your previous care, you will want to pinpoint the sources of your dissatisfaction and plan to do things differently this time.
What if I can't find a hospital and caregiver who will support my wish for VBAC?The VBAC resources page provides links for locating providers and facilities that offer VBAC. If you feel strongly about having a VBAC and do not have access to VBAC care in your community or within a reasonable distance, you may wish to consider relocating at the end of your pregnancy to stay with a friend or relative in a community where such care is available.
It may be possible in some communities to find a practitioner willing to take on a VBAC client who wishes to give birth outside of the hospital at home or in a birth center. You should know, however, that while many birth center and home birth practitioners have had good success with helping women who plan VBAC achieve vaginal birth, a national study of VBAC in birth centers concluded that risks of laboring with a scarred uterus warrant hospital care.
When having a repeat c-section, what are some tips for having a safer delivery?If you plan a repeat c-section, you will want to know how to plan the safest possible birth experience.
What are some tips for having a satisfying cesarean birth experience?Having a birth experience that is as much like a satisfying vaginal birth as possible and having good pain control after the surgery are keys to a satisfying cesarean birth experience. Discuss these options beforehand even if your birth plan is for VBAC. If an unexpected problem arises at the end of pregnancy or during labor, it may be much more difficult or impossible to obtain them.
Some of these options may be readily available; others may require some effort on your part. Still others may not be available at all. In that case, you will have to decide whether they are important enough to you to seek care elsewhere. You may wish to choose a doctor and/or hospital based on your preferences.

Diesel prices fall for fifth straight week, reports EIA
October 18, 2013
The average price per gallon of diesel gasoline fell for the fifth straight week, the Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration (EIA) said this week.
Falling 1.1 cents to $3.886 per gallon, this most recent drop follows declines of 2.2 cents, 3 cents, 2.5 cents, and 0.7 cents over the previous four weeks and is the longest stretch of declines since falling for six straight weeks earlier this year from May 27 through July 1.
In its recent update of the short-term energy outlook, the EIA expects the average price of diesel for 2013 to be $3.96 per gallon, just ahead of 2012's $3.97. For 2014, it expects the average price to be 3.76 per gallon.
The recent decline in prices is not entirely surprising, given record high refining in the U.S., shrinking consumer demand and slumping crude oil prices, Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst for Internet website price tracker GasBuddy.com, said in a USA Today report.
Regardless of the fluctuation in diesel prices, shippers are cognizant of the impact diesel prices can have on their bottom line—for better or worse.
And they continue to be proactive on that front, too, by taking steps to reduce mileage and transit lengths when possible as well as cut down on empty miles. And even through shippers want to adjust budgets in order to offset the increased costs higher fuel prices bring, it is not always an easy thing to manage.
