Per your feedback, to address the following before the ZCS 6.0.8 cycle we have released a patch to version 6.0.7:
Bug 48296 - Not able to send message with persona from field of external account selected
Bug 48210 - sender name of external account is wrong - zimbraDataSourceName vs zimbraPrefFromDisplay (partial fix till 6.0.8)
Bug 46552 - NumberFormatException when trying to print a virtual/shared conversation
Bug 48146 - Select Addresses dialog no longer pre-populates list from Contacts
Download: zcs-patch-6.0.7_GA_2476.tgz
Directions: zcs-patch-6.0.7_GA_2476.pdf
Follow Backup and Restore Articles - Zimbra :: Wiki
Then as root on all servers where the zimbra-store package is installed:
wget http://files2.zimbra.com/downloads/6.0.7_GA/zcs-patch-6.0.7_GA_2476.tgz
tar -xzvf zcs-patch-6.0.7_GA_2476.tgz
cd zcs-patch-6.0.7_GA_2476
zmcontrol restart
-At this time there is no planned full/400mb installer release of build 2476.
-File is 50mb, and you might notice it actually contains 25mb of 6.0.6 patch content as well, but this source has no technical effect. By design zmpatch.pl doesn't install old code on newer versions; we simply didn't prune zmpatch.xml this time.
This was previously released but warrants another mention:
If you need the following fixes to 6.0.7_GA_2470 you will have to use the full installer 6.0.7_GA_2473 available on the download pages.
Bug 48129 - 6.0.7 upgrade failure, Could not bind to port=143
Bug 48095 - Can still query GAL when zimbraFeatureGalEnabled & zimbraFeatureGalAutoCompleteEnabled are disabled
(Order is not important; though if you skip build 2473 and later decide you need the GAL fix, remember to put the 2476 patch on again since the full installer overwrites it.)

Great weather helped to mark the end of the Earth's Bounty Farmer's Market sale for the season.
Numerous vendors were on hand with all sorts of fresh fruits and vegetables. You may recall the event began in June and was only scheduled to run through September, but was extended due to its popularity. In September, Earth's Bounty was named a certified farmer's market by the Mississippi Department of Agriculture.
Earth's Bounty is organized by Meridian Main Street. For more information, you can call 601-693-7480.

Hi there,
We have a lot of thunderbird clients that I'd like to migrate to Zimbra Desktop. Those clients usually handle part of their mails using imap on the zimbra server and part in their local folders as mbox files. I'd like to import those local mbox files to the local folders in zimbra desktop.
In order to get them into zimbra, I did two things:
1. I installed the perl tool mb2md to transform the mbox folders into maildir format.
2. I wrote a bash script which transforms the maildir structure generated by mb2md into an importable tgz file that can be imported using zimbra desktop at "Preferences" -> "Local Folders" -> "Import/Export".
This works nicely. Unfortunately, the "received date" as shown in zimbra desktop's mail list is the date of import instead of the actual date the mail was received. I already searched the forum for a solution and found a promising header extension, X-Zimbra-Received:, but injecting that header to each mail with the same value as the Date: Header didn't change anything.
Any suggestions on know how I could make zimbra desktop keep the original date for the imported mails? Btw: I do not want to use imap, because that would take too much time for each import. I'd also prefer not to alter zimbra's database.

AG046: Candid Camerupt!
this wiki
Candid Camerupt! (Japanese: かちぬきファミリー!4VS4!! Kachinuki) is the 6th episode of Pokémon: Advanced Challenge.
Episode Plot
The gang continues to go to Fallarbor Town. However, the heat is terrible, so one by one falls down of dehydration. A Pokémon arrives, seeing them. The gang is seen inside a lodge, talking to the family that rescued them. The family mentions that the Camerupt dragged them to the lodge. The girl starts to like Max, and so does he her. The older woman has heard that Ash wants to compete in the Hoenn League, so she mentions that their eldest son left two months ago and became the Champion. Team Rocket wanders, but they fall down as well. The man arrives and offers them food.
Team Rocket wonders why he is wandering so he tells he left his home to become a Champ. However, he didn't as the battles are not for him. The man cannot go in either direction - but James offers him to tell his family, but man is skeptical, as "he didn't meet his grandma". The gang is grateful and offer assistance. The family wants to battle them! Their son, Vito, left, so battling one another seemed boring after some time, so they want to battle them instead.
The older woman proposes 4-on-4 battle, but the gang denies, as Max does not own Pokémon. However, Max would like to lend one of Ash's. The family - Victor, Victoria, Vivian, Vicky - battle for their family member, Vito. Victor goes after Brock. Victor brings Zigzagoon, so Brock starts with Mudkip. Mudkip uses Water Gun, but Zigzagoon (in last moment) evades. Zigzagoon uses Thunderbolt (much to everyone's surprise), defeating Mudkip in an instant. Vivian explains that Zigzagoon was taught the attack to power the generator.
It is May and Victoria's turn. Victoria brings Roselia (to which May makes a flashback when she battled Drew), while May brings Beautifly. Beautifly uses Gust, overpowering Roselia. Beautifly uses Silver Wind, defeating Victoria. The 3rd battle is on - Vivian brings Marill and Max Corphish. Max begins to tell Corphish his strategy, but Corphish rushes in and defeats Marill. Vivian is crushed, so she does not like Max anymore.
The last battle is Ash vs. Vicky. Team Rocket and Vito appear behind the house. Meowth yells, but Vito calms him down. They look inside the house, finding nobody present, but Vito suspects they might be on the battlefield. Vicky sends Camerupt, while Ash Pikachu. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, hitting Camerupt, but not damaging it, as it is Ground-type partly. Pikachu uses Quick Attack, knocking Camerupt. Caerupt uses Sandstorm and then uses Take Down. However, Pikachu retaliates with Iron Tail, damaging Camerupt. Vito, who is looking from above and his family put some safety hats, as Camerupt begins to be super-angry.
Meteors from Camerupt start erupting, so everyone starts to run. Team Rocket is hit, so they go away. Camerupt goes after Pikachu. Pikachu slips, making Camerupt going to destroy their house. Vito has no choice - he sends Alakazam and uses Rain Dance, calming him down. Vito wonders where Team Rocket went, but then sees them on a balloon. They capture Pikachu using a mechanical hand. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, but the arm is Electric-proof. Vito blames himself for the trouble they cause, so Alakazam uses Psychic, smashing the arm and putting Pikachu back to ground.
Team Rocket uses another arm to steal Pikachu, but Vito sends Swellow to use Wing Attack, blasting them off. Grandma tells the gang that a gentle soul helped them out and tells that she meant best for Vito. Vito goes away, promising that the next time he comes, his dreams will be fulfilled. The gang is leaving, quite fast as the Camerupt starts becoming angry once again.
- Featured Pokémon: Camerupt, Nuzleaf, Beedrill, Magcargo.
- This episode has an exact year between the Japanese and U.S. airing.
- In one shot, one of Ash's thumbs are colored black, like his glove.
- When Brock sends out his Mudkip, its mouth doesn't move when it says its name.
- The Pokémon Trainer's Choice states that Nuzleaf would be best against Camerupt. However, Nuzleaf would be less effective as Camerupt is a Fire type. In truth, none of the Pokémon would be effective battle choices, though Magcargo would suffer the least damage from Camerupt's Fire attacks, due to its Rock and Fire types, but also has a quadruple weakness against Camerupt's Ground attacks.

VOLCOM's relation with GOJIRA goes way back and we thought it's about time to celebrate this with a Limited Edition T-Shirt & 7" Vinyl bundle, featuring unreleased music from the band and artwork from GOJIRA's Drummer, Mario Duplantier.
Mario is known as one of the best Metal Drummers in the world, but only few know he's a brilliant graphic artist too. After his artistic debut with a graphic in Volcom's Featured Artist series of t-shirts, we organized two Artshows (Biarritz and Bordeaux) in collaboration with Mario to show his works.
The songs on the 7", END OF TIME and BLEEDING, have never been officially released, both were originally on GOJIRA's 1997 "Possessed" Demo when they were still performing under the name GODZILLA.

The Sill: Easy-Care Plants by Delivery
Store Profile
- Location: New York
- Specialty: House plants delivered in the New York area
- Price range: ($$) Mid-Range
- Website: thesill.com
Store History
- Founded by: Eliza Blank
- Headquarters: New York
The Sill is completely changing the way New Yorkers think about, shop for, and live with indoor plants. As the Founder and Creative Director, I have been blown away by the customer response to the business. With products starting at just $32, The Sill's online storefront offers easy care plants, hand potted and delivered to your door. The company launched online only 6 months ago and has already flourished. The Sill will also be testing the concept in retail this holiday season with a pop-up shop at 123 Ludlow Street in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, November 26-December 21.
The perfect way to thank the perfect host is by sending a little gift following a party. While flowers are always pretty, their life span can be limited. A house plant, on the other hand, is a gift that can be enjoyed long after it's been received.
Eliza Blank, the Founder and Creative Director of The Sill, has "a vision for making owning potted plants easy, fun, and fashionable for the young New York market." To that end, she launched her online storefront six months ago, offering easy care plants with free delivery in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Of course, we all know that houseplants have many benefits. From purifying the air to just sprucing up a space, houseplants are great. But they also have a bad rap for being difficult to care for. Eliza intentionally chooses plants that are low maintenance. She couples these plants with modern pots, some in kicky colors.
• Jean Gerard Assorted succulents in handmade geometric stoneware from artist Eric Bonnin. $148
• Eley Assorted Haworthia in white or black stonware; measures just 2.5"w x 5"h. $48
• Blue Collection Trio of succulents in handpainted terra cotta. $48
• Color Theory Collection Assorted succulents in hand painted terra cotta. $48

We did however get first light in Central Illinois this past weekend when I went up to look at the progress and provide further input into some of the design features. It is so feature laden for visual, astrovideo, binoviewing and DSLR applications that I will save that for another post.
The scope has a Lockwood 20" 1.25" thick Pyrex f/3 primary coupled with a 5" m.a. Lockwood secondary. The JPA custom mirror cell was tested by Lockwood under various bench conditions with the unfinished primary and has been optomized for the thin mirror to operate in all positions. The mirror cell is a work of art all by itself with the use of spherical bearings on each triangle and roller bearings on the lower mirror edge supports. Views of Jupiter's GRS and surrounding ovals at 219x under less than ideal conditions still showed very detailed and colorful images. The unfinished podium on the non-viewing side includes wired and wireless handpands, 12" ultrabook computer, power supplies for the computer and eventually a heated shield that will prevent the computer screen from dewing up. All wiring is internally routed and the entire scope will be powered by one external 12v wire going into the powered ground board.
Mike Lockwood, the optician on this project, is a former electrical engineer/research scientist/ATM that went into the optical business and is building what are arguably some of the finest and most consistent sub f/4 optics on the planet in sizes up to 60" and f ratios as fast as f/2 (he recommends no faster than f/2.75 for Newtonians and I have viewed through one of his 28" f/2.75's that was an absolute stunner). John Pratte, the scope builder, is a chemical engineer, manufacturing executive, former world champion NHRA car tuner/builder, optician, machinist and all around nice guy.
I have included a picture that Mike Lockwood took this weekend as we all experienced a group first light.

When I put checkmarks next to messages, and then click the "Delete" button on the toolbar, I often get an "Unresponsive script" error.
It doesn't happen every time, but it does happen often.
At first it happened several times (but not every time) when I searched through a few thousand messages, then checked the few hundred messages that met the search criteria and tried to delete them. Sometimes it deleted a few "100, 200, etc." and then ended with an error before finishing. Sometimes it seemed to stop with the error as soon as I clicked "Delete."
Just now it happened when I checked only one message and tried to delete it. So it doesn't look like the number of messages is necessarily the issue.
I attached a screen shot of the error message in the hope that it will help.

Skelos Complex work nears completion in Rockville Centre
Molloy funding 'state-of-the-art' softball field to be shared by college and village schools
1 2 Next page >
Renovations to Klein Field at the Dean G. Skelos Sports Complex, including the creation of a softball field that meets NCAA specifications, will be completed by March 1, weather permitting, according to Rockville Centre Mayor Francis Murray.
The new field, funded by Molloy College, does not yet have a final price tag. But according to the contract between the village and Molloy, the cost will not exceed $1.6 million. The contract includes an option allowing the college to spend an extra $60,000 on machinery for field upkeep.
The agreement, dated Sept. 14, 2012, gives the college the NCAA-regulation softball field it wanted, and provides the village and the Rockville Centre School District with the cost-free use of the upgraded field.
According to Deputy Mayor Nancy Howard, Molloy will reserve the field for its use from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. each day from February through May and from September through November.
"When we were working the new agreement, the schools, the clubs and the village met and had come up with a working schedule that everyone could live with," Howard explained. "It required some flexibility on everyone's part, but it really accommodates everyone's needs, just the same as the [other] fields."
The new agreement maintains an arrangement between the village and Molloy that gives the college access to the complex's North and South fields.
The construction of the new field will include the installation of artificial turf, a new backstop, new dugouts, a pitchers' warmup area, batting cages, a press box and a scoreboard. There will also be a small practice field, outside the main field's fences, mostly for younger players, Howard said.
"It gives our children a wonderful opportunity to play on an NCAA field, a state-of-the-art field," Murray said. "We're going to have so much time on the field for our children. It is far beyond what we could do with our taxpayer dollars."
Howard explained that although Molloy's softball program begins earlier than South Side High School's and there will be overlap, the school district will be able to use the field for some of its games and practices.

I upgraded from 4.5.6 to 4.5.7 last week. When I now look at the admin console it seems that the backup section has disappeared. I can still use the command line tools to monitor things.
Am I just looking in the wrong place or has it gone? As I remember (and according to the admin guide) it should be on the left hand side panel in the monitoring section.


text: I will also agree with everyone here. I switched over to First Lite merino layering last and was very pleased with the switch. I like the merino under layers and synthetic outerwear. So far I have really liked the Sitka outerwear compared to the others I have tried. Rhe timberline pants are my favorite Sitka Pants.

Genre: Video Training
English | Team: N/A | .wmv | 408.90 MB
Genre: Video Training
Cross platform game development can be very difficult; this course will teach you how to make it as easy as possible. You will learn how to use MonoGame to develop XNA based games that will run on Windows, Android, iOS and more. In this course we will cover some basic game development concepts as we create a basic Pong clone. We will then take that game and get it to work on iOS, Android and WP7. If you are thinking about getting into game development or have always been interested in the subject, this is a great way to start. This is a beginner course that doesn't require you to know anything about game development.

Nole took full advantage of a draw decimated by injury, illness, and political posturing by capturing his first ATP World Tour title of the season and 12th of his career. The Serb scraped past Gilles Simon in the semifinals and defeated David Ferrer 7-5, 6-3 in the final. He served well and turned up the aggression when needed.
I give Nole full credit for capturing this title especially since many of the top ballers decided against the trip to Dubai or, in Andy Murray's case, were knocked out by illness. All the pressure was on him to win and he came through in grand style - which hasn't been the case of late. This win is a good sign and is very telling of the level of Nole's confidence at the moment. It will certainly boost his game as the ATP boys enter the first weekend of Davis Cup and March Madness.
The American came back from a break down in the first set to beat Russian Evegeny Korolev 7-5, 6-3 and become the first top seed to win at Delray Beach in the tourney's 17-year history. Mardy ran through the draw without dropping a set and earned his first title of the season and third of his career.
Nico defended his title in the Mexican city, upsetting Frenchie Gael Monfils 6-4, 6-4 for his fifth ATP World Tour title. He becomes the first baller to win back-to-back titles in Acapulco since Thomas Muster won four straight from 1993-96 when the tourney was in Mexico City. Nico is def someone to watch during the clay-court swing as he was last year.
V won her second title in as many weeks conquering recent nemesis Flavia Pennetta 6-1, 6-2 in a swift 62 minutes. The Italian had won the last three meetings with the 7-time Grand Slammer but an in-form V had too many answers, not to mention her devastating serve. The American earned her 41st career WTA title and has won 20 of her last 21 matches dating back to her winning run at Zurich last season.
I'd say V's playing more like the top lady baller than her sister these days. But I guess she'll have to prove her mettle at a Grand Slam to really earn that distinction. And as for THAT dress? Well, we won't be seeing it ever again if V's to be believed - one can only hope.

- 1 Tutorials
- 2 Tips and Tricks
- 3 Git Repositories for Internal Use
- 4 Old stuff
Tips and Tricks
- Initial setup
- ignore files
- GUIs:
- gitk:
- sudo apt-get install gitk
- http://sitaramc.github.com/1-basic-usage/gitk.html#1_basic_usage_gitk_the_missing_gitk_documentation_
- run gitk from within the git repository
- git gui
- sudo apt-get install git-gui
- gitk:
Customize your bash prompt
Show the branch name
Method 1
- The following steps allow you to have colored text at the command prompt for telling you which current branch you are using:
- Download the script from here and put in home directory
- Add these lines to your .bashrc file:
- source ~/git-completion.bash
- export PS1='\[\e[36;1m\]\u@\[\e[32;1m\]\H:\[\e[0m\]\w\[\e[31;1m\]$(__git_ps1 "(\%s)")\[\e[0m\]>'
- lots of this command is text coloring, see this site for details
- - example of what this does
Method 2
Add this to your bashrc:
function parse_git_branch { git branch --no-color 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/(\1)/' } COLOR_NONE="\[\e[0m\]" GREEN="\[\033[0;32m\]" RED="\[\033[0;31m\]" export PS1="[\u@\h \W]$RED\$(parse_git_branch)$COLOR_NONE\$ "
Git Repositories for Internal Use
- Advait would like to have internal git repositories as well.
- The goal would be to use these for active development and release by merging to a repo on gt-ros-pkg hosted on google code.
Create a new git repository on internal server
- ssh mycroft@skynet
- cd internal_git_bare
- mkdir test_repository
- cd test_repository
- git init
- touch .first
- for some reason git doesn't like completely empty repositories
- git add .first
- git commit -m "initial dummy commit"
- Convert to a bare repository using steps from here:
- cd hrl_haptic_manipulation_in_clutter/
- git config --bool core.bare true
- rm -rf .first
- ls -la
- you should see a .git
Steps on each client machine
Clone from the internal server
- cd to whichever directory you want to keep your repo in. (e.g. cd ~/git)
- git clone email@example.com:/home/mycroft/internal_git_bare/hrl_haptic_manipulation_in_clutter
Cloning a specific branch
- git clone -b advaits_branch email@example.com:/home/mycroft/internal_git_bare/hrl_haptic_manipulation_in_clutter
- by doing this, I get only advaits_branch and not the master.
Pushing a branch to the internal git server
- git push origin advaits_new_branch
After pushing a branch:
- git branch -r
- confirm that the branch show up as origin/advaits_new_branch
- git branch -d advaits_new_branch
- delete the local branch.
- git checkout --track origin/advaits_new_branch
- Check out and track the new remote branch
Checkout and track a new remote branch
- git checkout --track origin/advaits_new_branch
Adding a remote branch (from a different repo)
- git remote add -f <new_branch_name> <path_to_repo>
To release code
- create an appropriately named release branch.
- push that release branch to the internal server.
- create a new git repository on gt-ros-pkg for the stack to be released.
- clone this gt-ros-pkg repository to your computer.
- add internal repository as a remote branch on your computer's clone of gt-ros-pkg repo:
git remote add -f <release_stack_name> firstname.lastname@example.com:/home/mycroft/internal_git_bare/<release_stack_name>
- perform a merge:
git merge <release_stack_name>/<release_branch>
- optionally reset the history:
git reset --soft HEAD^
- git commit -a
- put in an appropriate release message.
Coverting a stack from svn to a git repository
- ssh mycroft@skynet
- cd internal_git_bare
- get a specific folder from svn and make a git repo out of it:
git svn clone https://svn.hsi.gatech.edu/cckemp/robot1/src/projects/hrl_haptic_manipulation_in_clutter
- Convert to a bare repository using steps from here:
- cd hrl_haptic_manipulation_in_clutter/
- git config --bool core.bare true
- rm -rf *
- ls -la
- you should see a .git
Old stuff
- git checkout google_code_master
- git checkout internal_hrl <path to files to release>
- git commit -a
- type in some descriptive release message.
- git checkout internal_hrl
- switch back to the internal_hrl branch
- ssh to skynet and push to google code.
To get changes from google code repository
Merge the changes in the google_code_master branch with the internal_hrl branch
- git checkout google_code_master
- git pull
- git checkout internal_hrl
- git merge google_code_master
maybe useful commands?
- git checkout --track origin/internal_hrl
- now you will see two branches (master and internal_hrl)
- usually Advait would expect people to work in the internal_hrl branch
Create bare git repository on internal git server
- ssh skynet.hsi.gatech.edu -lmycroft
- mkdir internal_git_bare
- cd internal_git_bare
- Clone gt-ros-pkg with advait as the user on skynet.hsi.gatech.edu:
git clone https://firstname.lastname@example.com/p/gt-ros-pkg.hrl/
- Convert to a bare repository using steps from here:
- cd gt-ros-pkg.hrl/
- git config --bool core.bare true
- rm -rf *
- ls -la
- you should see a .git
- git branch -m master internal_hrl
- rename master to internal_hrl
Add a remote branch to work directly with the google code repository
- git remote add -f gt-ros-pkg.hrl_google_code https://code.google.com/p/gt-ros-pkg.hrl/
- git checkout -b google_code_master gt-ros-pkg.hrl_google_code/master


text: Gary Zank's journey from a South African graduate student interested in applied mathematics to a successful career in space physics, invasive biology and homeland security includes the illustrious character traits of leadership, initiative, discipline, opportunity, and dedication. Initially interested in partially differentiated equations he sort of drifted off into space physics. "You work on one problem and then another, and pretty soon you're a card-carrying space physicist." Gary Zank came to The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAHuntsville) in July of 2008 as the new Pei-Ling Chan Chair Scholar in Physics and also as the Director for the Center for Space Plasma and Aerononmic Research (CSPAR). In June of 2010 he added to his responsibilities the Chair of the Physics Department in the College of Science. UAHuntsville's long, successful history in space physics, plus its proximity to NASA and USR space science groups, helped attract not only Gary Zank but also his entire team (with its research contracts and grants) to Huntsville. As a space physicist, Gary helped build a 21-member research team at the University of California, Riverside, even though UCR had no previous history of doing space physics. Gary is also one of the leading theorists working on the IBEX satellite, which earlier this year (2010) started returning data on the shape and size of the sun's "bubble" in the interstellar medium. Other notable funded research since his move to UAHuntsville include NASA's "Particle Acceleration for Solar Energetic Particle and Energetic Particle Storm Events"(2008), GSFC/EPSCoR's "The Dynamical Inner Heliosheath and the Space Radiation Environment"(2009), and most recently SAO's "Solar Wind Electrons Alphas and Protons (SWEAP) Investigations for Solar Probe"(2010). Gary is well known in the world of Space Physics for his extensive list of peer-reviewed publications and numerous books. Gary is also distinguished in his field because of his wide-ranging honors and awards achieved throughout his career. Notable mentionable since joining UAHuntsville are, "The Solar Terrestrial Distinguished Lecture, Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) 2008 Meeting", "The Board of Trustees of The University of Alabama resolved February 8, 2008 to endow Gary P. Zank, Ph.D. the Pei-Ling Chan Endowed Chair in Physics College of Science" (current); and "Quest for Excellence Award, 2009, SciQuest". Gary's work in biology grew out of his interest in swimming. He spends one and a half-hours every day swimming. He used to do lunchtime laps with a couple of his colleagues. One of them was a biologist interested in invasive species. "It turns out that the equations that physicist use to describe the spread of parasite have a close relationship to equations used to describe the dispersal of gas in a turbulent environment.... It is an extremely interesting problem that is amenable to some very intense computational modeling." This intense computational modeling is the driving force behind Gary Zank's desire to spend countless time on his research. It does not matter how many meetings he attend, how many decisions he has to make in a day or where he is traveling to speak at invited talks or teach, he stills finds time to invest in his research. This investment of this time is clearly represented in his achievements over the years, which puts him category of a cutting-edge leader in the world of space physics.

Written By Duke Sports Information Department
AUSTIN, Tex. -- Mike Krzyzewski, the winningest coach in the history of NCAA Division I men's basketball and the longtime Head Coach at Duke University, will be honored as the recipient of the 2013 Dick Enberg Award, presented by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
Krzyzewski will receive the award as part of the fourth annual Capital One Academic All-America Hall of Fame Gala on Wednesday, June 12 at CoSIDA's annual convention in Orlando, Fla., which for the first time will be part of the annual NACDA Convention.
Known throughout the sporting world simply as "Coach K", Krzyzewski has enjoyed unparalleled success in national and global circles throughout his distinguished 38-year career as a head coach at Duke, the United States Military Academy and with USA Basketball.
He became the winningest coach in NCAA Division I play on November 15, 2011 by surpassing his collegiate coach and mentor, Bob Knight, in the Blue Devils' 74-69 triumph over Michigan State, and his legacy of 952 career victories (879 at Duke) is enhanced by four national championship seasons in 1991, 1992, 2001 and 2010.
In international competition, Krzyzewski has led the United States to back-to-back gold medals at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China and again last summer in London. The five-time USA Basketball National Coach of the Year also guided Team USA to the 2010 FIBA World Championship in Istanbul, Turkey.
As staggering as that success is, Krzyzewski's numbers off the court are just as impressive. He has coached five Academic All-America performers during his career, including two-time honorees Shane Battier, Greg Paulus and current Blue Devil Mason Plumlee, and his players have received 52 All-ACC Academic Basketball honors. But the most impressive statistic of all is that Duke boasts a 98 percent graduation rate of all student-athletes who have matriculated four years during Krzyzewski's tenure.
"The Enberg Award continues to be the highest honor I've ever received, and it grows in significance with the acceptance this year by Coach K," Enberg says of Krzyzewski's honor. "In over 50 years of broadcasting, I've been blessed to rub shoulders with coaching greatness, ranging from (Academic All-America Hall of Famer) John Wooden to Al McGuire to (1999 Enberg Award recipient) Dean Smith and to Coach K. Like the others, Mike Krzyzewski epitomizes a professor's active concern for academic success, a quality that has contributed to his being one of the greatest winners in all of sport."
"Certainly, I am honored to receive such a prestigious award from CoSIDA, particularly one named after someone I respect as much as Dick Enberg," said Krzyzewski. "It is quite humbling to see my name among some of the previous recipients of this award. We've always believed the proper academic experience is such a vital part of a young man's growth process. I've been blessed at both Army and Duke to have so many players live by that belief and perform so well in the classroom, as well as on the basketball court. This is really their award."
A three-year standout and team captain under Knight at Army, Krzyzewski graduated from West Point in 1969 and served as an officer for five years, attaining the rank of captain until his resignation from the service in 1974.
He returned to his alma mater in 1975 and served as Army's head coach for five seasons, amassing 73 victories and garnering a pair of Coach of the Year accolades before heading south to Durham in 1980.
Since the 1983-84 season, Coach K's Blue Devils have averaged 28 wins per season, with 30 or more victories on 12 occasions. He joins Wooden and Kentucky's Adolph Rupp as the only three coaches in NCAA Division I history to capture four or more national championships, and along the way he has mentored seven National Players of the Year (nine honors), 25 All-Americans, eight ACC Players of the Year and 78 all-ACC selections. In addition, 45 Blue Devils have been selected in the NBA Draft, including a record-25 first round picks.
A 12-time selection as National Coach of the Year, Krzyzewski was presented for induction into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame by Knight in 2001. He was named as "America's Best Coach" by Time Magazine and CNN in 2001, and he was the second recipient of the John R. Wooden Legends of Coaching Award. On November 17, 2000, the fabled floor at Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium was dedicated as "Coach K Court" in his honor.
"I played for the greatest college coach of all time," said Battier, who earned National Player of the Year and Academic All-America of the Year accolades as a senior in 2001. "Coach K's coaching, leadership, and basketball acumen is unparalleled. But more than basketball is his emphasis on academics and the life-lessons I learned from him. There is no one more deserving of this prestigious award."
"Since the day I arrived at Duke, Coach K has pushed me to be the best possible person on and off the court," said current Blue Devil standout Plumlee. "He is a great leader because he cares about his players on a personal level and encourages us to strive for excellence on the court, in the classroom and in the community. Obviously, he is a great coach, maybe the best ever. He is an even better teacher of life-lessons."
Krzyzewski and his wife, Mickie, are active members of the Durham community and have impacted the entire country through their efforts. In February 2006, the Emily Krzyzewski Center (named for his late mother) opened with the mission to inspire economically disadvantaged students to dream big, act with character and purpose, strive for academic excellence and reach their highest potential as future citizen leaders. Krzyzewski serves as the Chairman of the Emily K Center Board while also on the Board of Directors of the Jimmy V Foundation since its inception in 1993 after being personally asked to do so by his longtime friend and foundation's namesake, the late Jim Valvano. In addition he is also the President of the NABC Foundation and is an active participant with the Duke Brain Tumor Center and Hoops Dream Advisory Council.
The Krzyzewskis are also large philanthropists and supporters of Duke University - creating the Krzyzewski Family Scholarship Endowment for Duke students from the Carolinas and endowing a full athletics scholarship in tribute to his brother, the Bill Krzyzewski Captains Scholarship as part of the Duke Basketball Legacy Fund. In addition, they both served as co-Chairs for the building of the $32 million McGovern-Davison Children's Health Center opened in 2000. They participate annually in raising millions for the hospital through the Holiday Cards program, Radiothon and other community events.
Coach K has received an Honorary Alumnus Award from the Duke Medical Center for his contributions to the Duke Children's Health Center. Krzyzewski and his family have made the center a focal point in their efforts to raise the standard of clinical care for children.
Krzyzewski becomes the fifth major college coach to receive the Dick Enberg Award, which will now have been bestowed on both the winningest men's and women's head coaches in NCAA Division I history. University of Tennessee Head Coach Emeritus Pat Summitt, who received the Enberg Award in 2007, combines with Krzyzewski for 2,049 career victories and 12 NCAA national titles.

Marines in Iraq: Ten years on
Camp Pendleton force key to invasion, Sunni Awakening in Anbar
Ten years ago on March 20, the U.S. went to war with air strikes on Baghdad and fluttering leaflets urging the Iraqi army to surrender. That night along the Kuwait border, Marine Sgt. Maj. Wayne Bell wrote a message on a 155 mm shell. "This one's for you Saddam," it said.
Bell and his fellow Camp Pendleton artillerymen covered their ears as the warhead shot north with a tremendous boom. A few hours later, they followed it into Iraq, rolling in a massive convoy through breaches in the border fence and sandy berms. A sign scrawled on a cardboard MRE box said "This highway adopted by 1st Marine Division."
"Well, this is it, it's real," Bell told his commander. He was excited for combat after the months-long buildup to war and awed at the display of military might rumbling across the desert toward the Iraqi capital.
"I can't believe it was 10 years ago," said Bell, 56, of Temecula, now retired and working for the Marine Corps as a family readiness officer. "I can't get it out of my mind."
Violence still troubles Iraq, but the U.S. war ended in December 2011 when the last American convoy drove out of the country. By then the conflict had deeply reconfigured Iraq and the balance of power in the Middle East.
The Iraq War also had a profound impact on the U.S. military, adding heroic chapters to its history as well as blood-soaked lessons in counterinsurgency, tribalism and the rise of the improvised explosive device, or IED, as Achilles heel to the superpower's juggernaut of high-tech weaponry.
The 1st Marine Expeditionary Force headquartered at Camp Pendleton, which includes the air wing at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar and other troops at Twentynine Palms and Yuma, played key roles in the war. The legacy of its involvement — from leading the first conventional ground troops into Iraq during the invasion to flipping Sunni tribes in Anbar province — helped rewrite U.S. military doctrine, shift the concurrent campaign in Afghanistan, harden a new generation of combat veterans and shape future wars.
Then-Maj. Gen. James Mattis, now a four-star general preparing to retire as head of U.S. Central Command, led the 1st Marine Division to war. A few days before crossing the line of departure, Mattis circulated a message to his Marines and sailors that some keep framed on their wall to this day.
As a lifetime scholar of warfare, Mattis warned before the kickoff of Operation Iraqi Freedom to expect chemical attacks, the use of innocents as human shields and other treachery. "Our fight is not with the Iraqi people, nor is it with members of the Iraqi army who choose to surrender," but to move swiftly and aggressively against the resisters.
Ground forces began racing toward Baghdad without waiting for a prolonged air campaign. The goal was to surprise the regime and prevent a repeat of the environmental and economic disaster of blazing oil wells during the first Gulf War, recalled Brig. Gen. Paul Kennedy, who was Mattis' plans officer for the invasion.
The Iraqi regime expected an attack along the Tigris River or an end-run around the desert. Instead, Mattis led the division straight up Highway One, bypassing most major Iraqi divisions. "They didn't think you could move a heavy force along this unfinished highway in the middle of the desert. So that is what Mattis did. He shot all the way up to just outside the defenses of Baghdad," Kennedy said.

A Tale of Two Audiences
At the Cinema
Over the holidays, I went to the movies to see Up in the Air with George Clooney. After the "turn off your cell phones" trailer ended, a man in front of me tapped a woman in front of him to ask her to put her cell phone away. She responded by calling him names, and the interaction escalated until they were escorted from the theatre by the manager.
Larger Implications
As the film unfolded with its strong theme of disaffection and alienation in modern society, the irony of the cell phone incident, and its lack of civility grew stronger.
Over the next few days, I found it hard to shake this jarring experience, and began to wonder where civilization is headed. In my mind, I began to contrast the Cineplex experience with some of the great experiences I've had at free programs in my local library.
An Amazing Library Program
For instance, last November, the Belmont Library invited the Pulitzer-prize-winning writer Michael Chabon to read from his latest book Manhood for Amateurs: The Pleasures and Regrets of a Husband, Father, and Son. The event was made possible by collaboration between M is for Mystery Bookstore and the Belmont Library and was moderated by San Francisco Chronicle book editor John McMurtrie.
The evening was memorable for several reasons. McMurtrie is a gracious and good-humored moderator. Chabon is a dazzling speaker who seems to have an unfettered connection to his memories and imagination–even in front of 300 people–giving his presentation a stream-of-consciousness quality, almost the verbal equivalent of jazz improvisation. And somewhere in this mix, the most generous heart swells. Chabon shared much of his own life and much warm-hearted laughter was shared between audience and author throughout the evening.
Now let me describe the audience–a mixture of ages from teens through seniors, all prepared to share community space in order to interact with this celebrated author. Teenagers voluntarily sat in the outdoor amphitheatre so that seniors could sit in the warmer community room. Inside the community room, every inch of space was taken, including the standing room on either side of the aisles. And, not an ill word from anyone. At the end of the evening, people lined up in an orderly fashion to get their books signed and thanked the book sellers and librarians for hosting such a nice event.
Warmth of Community
I don't want to malign Cineplexes. There could have been many reasons for the discord described in the beginning of this article, including holiday stress. But I do want to point out that your local library may be one of the best places to find free, high-quality entertainment and great community spirit. If you're a single and online dating hasn't worked for you, come to a library event. You'd be surprised at the number of attractive, intelligent people you'll meet.

With the reintroduction of Glen Helen to the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, the GoPro Hangtown Classic once again finds its place as second on the schedule. And that's alright. The massive hills of the opening round are unlike anything else, and now riders can actually settle into the same riding habits, setup, and pace they will carry through the next 11 stops of the summer series. But it seemed like the drive up California's I-5 had no affect on what transpired in Sacramento, as the same field of riders found their places in the order just laps into each of the four motos. Still, the racing action offered plenty of excitement and added just another interesting chapter into what could be a pair of historic championship chases…

Treading carefully
Entertainment | After Prince Caspian's disappointing results, Walden Media went back to the basics with The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
In the summer of 2008, one of the biggest questions critics and entertainment reporters were asking was, "What happened to Prince Caspian?"
The film's predecessor and the first of C.S. Lewis' Narnia stories to reach the big screen, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, shattered industry expectations in 2005 by earning more than $65 million in its opening weekend and going on to gross nearly $300 million domestically. To put those numbers in context, it was the second-highest-grossing movie of the year, beating even Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. So there was no reason for Walden Media, the small, family-friendly studio responsible for Wardrobe, not to expect big things from the sequel.
But when Prince Caspian finally hit theaters, the towers of Hollywood did not shake nor even rattle. Though the $55 million it took in over its opening weekend marked only a 16 percent decline, it suffered from poor word-of-mouth. By the end of its run Caspian's total was less than half of Wardrobe's, making it a serious disappointment for everyone involved.
By 2009, negative associations with Caspian looked ready to sink the third film in the franchise, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Disney, which had partnered with Walden on the first two films, no longer wanted to provide the kind of budget Walden wanted. It dropped Dawn Treader in the middle of pre-production, and there followed considerable speculation that Caspian would be the end of The Chronicles as feature films.
Happily for fans, 20th Century Fox decided there was life left in Narnia. The studio stepped in to take Disney's place. So the question box-office handicappers are asking now is, "What did Walden learn from Caspian, and will it be enough to keep Dawn Treader and the franchise afloat?"
Plenty of differences between The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian could have contributed to Caspian's underperformance. One of the most notable was timing-Wardrobe hit theaters in the second week of December, Caspian in the middle of May. No surprise then with the series' life on the line, Walden has decided to return to a pre-Christmas release for Dawn Treader.
But Walden co-founder and president Micheal Flaherty doesn't mince words when acknowledging that there were other, less superficial mistakes his studio made with Caspian that it took care to avoid this time around. One of the most significant, he says, was ignoring the franchise's core audience.
Much has been made of Walden's distinctive approach of promoting some projects to pastors, youth groups, and parachurch organizations (outlets like Entertainment Weekly and Politico have even accused the studio of pushing a religious agenda). However, says Flaherty, shying away from that approach and relying instead on standard Hollywood methods of marketing cost Walden dearly with Caspian.
"We got cocky," he admits. "With Wardrobe, we were the hardest-working production in show business. We went everywhere. We went to every teacher's conference, we went to every faith conference, we went to every concert to let people know that this film was coming out and ask them for their support." After Wardrobe's stunning success, Flaherty says the studio took it for granted that Caspian was destined to do as well. "We thought we just needed to let people know the date it would be coming out," he laughs.
An incident at church soon made him realize how wrong he had been. "My pastor gave a sermon a month after its release and mentioned how much he liked it. So I went up to him after and thanked him, and he said, 'Yeah it was great, I just wish I had known when it came out, I could have said something earlier.' That was a real sign for us that we didn't want to make the same mistake with [Dawn Treader]."
While pastors and parachurch organizations are no doubt happy to hear that Walden has new appreciation for their audience value, most weren't bothered by being overlooked so much as they were by the content of the film. In an interview earlier this year, Dr. Jerry Root, who teaches Lewis at Wheaton College, complained, "The worst element in Prince Caspian was when Lucy sees Aslan for the first time on her return to Narnia. In the book she exclaims, 'Aslan, you're bigger!' Aslan responds, 'I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me bigger.' In the movie, this was seriously compromised to, 'Aslan, you've grown!' Aslan replies, 'Every year you grow, so shall I.' It is a horrible compromise of Lewis and really bad theology." Many other high-profile pastors and Christian leaders agreed that Caspian distanced itself from the books' biblical themes while at the same time imposing values that weren't consistent with Lewis' beliefs.
While no one involved with the production will directly state that Caspian underplayed Lewis' theological subtext, Flaherty says that during the making of Dawn Treader, Walden had as many Lewis experts as possible on hand to advise them on the points they "absolutely could not miss." And he maintains that even with changes to the plot, Walden strove to maintain Lewis' worldview. "We added things with the conviction that they were amplifying Lewis' themes and not taking away from them." Specifically, he says they "really wanted to play up that theme of the Christian walk, the spiritual journey, all the things that continue to hold us back from being the person that we were created to be."
Douglas Gresham, Lewis' stepson and an executive producer on all three films, describes himself as the "Narnia purist and card-carrying Christian" on the production team. "Which basically means I'm the resident nuisance," he jokes. "So if you move a comma from one point on the page to another, I'm the one that jumps up and down and screams." When a choice between deferring to the other filmmakers and digging in his heels over a story change arose, Gresham says he prayed for wisdom and let the deciding factor be whether the alteration affected the film thematically.
"I can't really speak to the plot additions because I don't always understand them myself," says Gresham. "And I sometimes have to accept, not without a fight I hasten to add, what they say we have to do. I stick to making sure that we get the theological messages that Jack [C.S. Lewis] himself was trying to portray in the books. And I think we've done that."
I mention, as an example of his point, the particularly significant line in the book where Aslan tells Lucy that he is also in her own world, but by a different name. Gresham laughs and admits, "That was one of the fights that I won. That scene was done the way I wanted it to be done almost completely."
Though almost all of the focus on Dawn Treader centers on whether it will achieve enough to allow the franchise to go forward (Gresham bluntly says, "I'd love to do Silver Chair next, but it depends entirely upon how much the public supports this movie"), Flaherty points out that there may be more at stake than merely the future of The Chronicles. "If the Narnia films do well, it sends a message to the other studios that they should also be making films like this," he says. "One of Walden's counterintuitive goals is that we invite imitators. The more studios making family-friendly films, the more studios making films based on good books, the more successful we feel like we've been."

Just wanted to give a heads up as the remaining supply from the first shipment isn't expected to last very long! This is some awesome hot weather technology, and with a layer beneath, it will even perform as a later season garment.
Anyone here get theirs in the mail yet? Feedback?

ATLANTA -- The former secretary-treasurer of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters was sentenced on Thursday for stealing over $60,000 from the union.
Ryan Forbes, 36, will serve eight months in federal prison.
"In this case, Forbes abused his fiduciary duties and squandered the funds of his fellow union members for his own personal benefit," United States Attorney Sally Quillian Yates said.
After Forbes serves his term, he will be under supervised release for three years. He is ordered to pay restitution of almost $36,000.
Forbes pleases guilty to embezzlement of funds from a labor organization, and was convicted on August 28.
According to Yates' office, Forbes' time working for the union was from 2005 through 2010. During that time, he was issued a credit card that was to be used only for authorized purchases for the union. However, Forbes used the card 285 times to make unauthorized purchases and withdrawals.
He also spent money on items for himself using the funds, including several computers. He wrote salary checks to himself using the union's bank account, used a forged signature, and turned in false fuel and travel claims for reimbursement.

Chills. These are so pro. Mad ups to you jmsalsa.
Fuckin A nice work!
I love that quote, "Probably going to have to get a bigger bandwagon."
Great video. Was that Justin Williams yelling "let's go, let's go" or was that part of the soundtrack (or was that a different player)? I wish you could hear more of the on-ice communication between players.
That is Justin Williams yelling "Let's go, let's go," it's from the mic'd up video they have of the series on KingsVision. =)
Thank god we only have one more day. This wait has been fucking unbearable to say the least.
C'mon boys bring the Holy Grail to the Motherland!
