Calendar of Events

Though the origin of the word Halloween is Christian, the holiday is commonly thought to have pagan roots. Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain", which comes from the Old Irish for "summer's end".
Samhain (pronounced sah-win or sow-in) was the first and most important of the four quarter days in the medieval Gaelic (Irish, Scottish and Manx) calendar. It was held on or about October 31 – November 1 and kindred festivals were held at the same time of year in other Celtic lands; for example the Brythonic Calan Gaeaf (in Wales), Kalan Gwav (in Cornwall) and Kalan Goañv (in Brittany). Samhain is mentioned in some of the earliest Irish literature and many important events in Irish mythology happen or begin on Samhain. It marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter or the 'darker half' of the year.
This was a time for stock-taking and preparing for the cold winter ahead; cattle were brought back down from the summer pastures and livestock were slaughtered. In much of the Gaelic world, bonfires were lit and there were rituals involving them. Some of these rituals hint that they may once have involved human sacrifice. Divination games or rituals were also done at Samhain.
Samhain (like Beltane) was seen as a time when the 'door' to the Otherworld opened enough for the souls of the dead, and other beings such as fairies, to come into our world. The souls of the dead were said to revisit their homes on Samhain. Feasts were had, at which the souls of dead kin were beckoned to attend and a place set at the table for them. Lewis Spence described it as a "feast of the dead" and "festival of the fairies". However, harmful spirits and fairies were also thought to be active at Samhain. People took steps to allay or ward-off these harmful spirits/fairies, which is thought to have influenced today's Halloween customs.
Before the 20th century, wearing costumes at Samhain was done in parts of Ireland, Mann, the Scottish Highlands and islands, and Wales. Wearing costumes may have originated as a means of disguising oneself from these harmful spirits/fairies. In Ireland, people went about before nightfall collecting for Samhain feasts and sometimes wore costumes while doing so. In the 19th century on Ireland's southern coast, a man dressed as a white mare would lead youths door-to-door collecting food; by giving them food, the household could expect good fortune from the 'Muck Olla'. In Moray during the 18th century, boys called at each house in their village asking for fuel for the Samhain bonfire. The modern custom of trick-or-treating may have come from these practices. Alternatively, it may come from the Christian custom of souling.
Making jack-o'-lanterns at Halloween may also have sprung from Samhain and Celtic beliefs. Turnip lanterns, sometimes with faces carved into them, were made on Samhain in the 19th century in parts of Ireland and the Scottish Highlands. As well as being used to light one's way while outside on Samhain night, they may also have been used to represent the spirits/fairies and/or to protect oneself and one's home from them.
Another legend is that a trickster named Jack decided one day to trick the Devil. He trapped the Devil in a pumpkin and paraded him around town. Eventually, Jack let the Devil out and the Devil put a curse on Jack and forever made him a spirit in hell.
The custom of wearing costumes has been linked to All Saints/All Souls by Prince Sorie Conteh, who wrote: "It was traditionally believed that the souls of the departed wandered the earth until All Saints' Day, and All Hallows' Eve provided one last chance for the dead to gain vengeance on their enemies before moving to the next world. In order to avoid being recognised by any soul that might be seeking such vengeance, people would don masks or costumes to disguise their identities". In Halloween: From Pagan Ritual to Party Night, Nicholas Rogers explained Halloween jack-o'-lanterns as originally being representations of souls in purgatory. In Brittany children would set candles in skulls in graveyards.
In Britain, these customs came under attack during the Reformation as Protestants berated purgatory as a "popish" doctrine incompatible with the notion of predestination. The rising popularity of Guy Fawkes Night (5 November) from 1605 onward, saw many Halloween traditions appropriated by that holiday instead, and Halloween's popularity waned in Britain, with the noteworthy exception of Scotland. There and in Ireland, the rebellious Guy Fawkes was not viewed with the same criminality as in England, and they had been celebrating Samhain and Halloween since at least the early Middle Ages, and the Scottish kirk took a more pragmatic approach to Halloween, seeing it as important to the life cycle and rites of passage of communities and thus ensuring its survival in the country.

i'm in the same boat. i've been using egw at work and would like to give zimbra a try. i downloaded the source but there were no docs on how to get it installed. pretty sad about that :-) guess i just wont be able to try zimbra for a while.
Yep the source is available but at the moment it only builds on Red Hat Enterprise 4 and Fedora Core 3. We took this approach at first to make it very easy to install/run on those platforms. We are working on making the source release more general so that other platforms can build it. It will happen just give us a little time
Is there an estimated date that a distro-agnostic version will be available? I've been having difficulties installing the source-based Zimbra on Debian Sarge and Ubuntu 5.04 and 5.10.

We have installed from source following that document on FC3 and Debian, with a few modifications (there already is some help in the forum, or you can post your questions if they aren't there).

I almost have this running on Ubuntu 5.10. Once (or if) I get it all working, I'll try to document my process and share. Should work with Debian.
I can actually log into the web interface, but I haven't verified that everything works properly. I was able to send email from the user1 test account to my real email account. It pegged the CPU in the process for a minute or two, however, and threw an error up in the web gui:
This may be related to the problem I'm running into when I run "ant reset-the-world". When I do that, I get the following output:Code:msg - system failure: MessagingException code - service.FAILURE method - ZmCsfeCommand.invoke detail - soap:Receiver constructor - function ZmCsfeException(msg, code, method, detail) { if (arguments.length == 0) { return; } AjxException.call(this, msg, code, method, detail); } toString - function () { return "ZmCsfeException"; } dump - function () { return "AjxException: msg=" + this.msg + " code=" + this.code + " method=" + this.method + " detail=" + this.detail; }

I hate replying to my own posts, but...
I got it working.
These I had figured out on my own. cd'ing to the /opt/zimbra/libexec directory in order to exec those scripts rather than specifying them by full path also helped. Some scripts have relative paths hardcoded, iirc, to something like "../bin".Tips:
- create /opt/zimbra/openldap-data directory
- some scripts are not in bin but in libexec and they are not executable, chmod +x them
The ant-reset-the-world thing was solved (or bypassed) by commenting out the small section of build.xml that references the sample search folders. I figured I really didn't need those anyhow.
The cpu + error message thing happens when testing the client on the same machine that's running the server. Accessing the server via another PC on the network, it worked fine (in my limited testing). Maybe this is a race condition, or something?
Since I'm hoping to potentially deploy Zimbra on the same machine that serves up thin client desktops, this could be a problem. I'll search for this in the forums, but feel free to direct me to information on this if it's already available.
I've done only limited testing, but will be glad to share my experiences with anyone interested in hearing about how further use goes.

We are working with the FF team at Mozilla to get this in 1.5(actually was talking with them today at Euro OSCON), and are also going to try to change the send call to be async rather than sync to avoid this bug if it doesn't get slipped into FF 1.5
Thanks, KevinH.
Other than that, the only major issue that I've found so far is that I have no administrative interface (which is definitely a showstopper). Going to https://(host):7071 prompts me to accept a certificate, then directs me to /zimbraAdmin, which reports a 404, "The requested resource (/zimbraAdmin) is not available."
I'm assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that zimbraAdmin is at /opt/zimbra/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.7/webapps/zimbra/js/zimbraAdmin. That directory only contains one subdir, called config.
Any tips for next steps?

541ci Big Block Cadillac V8 - Torque Monster! - Engine BuildupWritten by Marlan Davis on August 26, 2008 Contributors: Dick Miller Racing, MTS Dick Miller Racing Builds A 541ci Cadillac V-8. Would You Believe 649 lb-ft And 526 hp?
It's not your grandpa's Cadillac engine. Dick Miller's 541ci Caddy stroker uses newly developed heads plus a custom Comp Cams bumpstick and valvetrain to produce tons of tire-twisting torque at a realistic engine speed.
In these days of monster engines, the 450 ci just doesn't cut it. It seems everyone and his uncle is stroking old-school big-blocks to 500 ci and beyond. But there was one stock production engine that came standard with 500 cubes: the '70-'76 500ci Caddy. Admittedly this engine will never win Pro Stock, but with available aftermarket parts you can have a torque monster equally at home in your tow vehicle or dare-to-be-different rod. New aftermarket Bulldog heads (marketed by Maximum Torque Specialties) have the potential to really wake up GM's biggest engine.
Cores are not that hard to find. You can pick up a rebuildable 500ci Cadillac for under $500 in many areas of the country, but be careful: Externally, the Cadillac 472 appears identical--the two engines share the same block but have different-stroke cranks. The only way to tell for sure is to measure the stroke: about 41/16 inches for a 472, 45/16 for a 500.
Dick Miller Racing has long been known for its stout Oldsmobile V-8s, but when a relative needed a new engine for his Chevy pickup, Miller decided to dive into the classic Caddy using the new Bulldog heads along with PolyDyn oil-shedding, thermal-barrier, and appearance coatings; premium pistons and rods; and a stroked, offset-ground stock 500ci Caddy crank. The whole idea was to build a durable engine that maximizes performance under 5,000 rpm. As Miller points out, he ended up with an engine that makes as much torque (about 650 lb-ft) as the high-tech Duramax diesel in his $40,000 Silverado--but also churns out nearly 50 percent more power. If you like what you see, Miller can sell just the parts or build you an entire engine.
Bottom End
With their tall deck heights, Caddy blocks readily accommodate stroked cranks and long rods. Caddy lovers claim that the stock nodular-iron crank when properly prepped will live through 1,200 hp. The beefy 2.5-inch-od rod journals can easily be offset-ground down to the big-block Chevy's 2.200-inch size. That's key to parts availability, since aftermarket long-arm Caddy cranks aren't readily obtained, and it's a lot easier to find aftermarket Chevy rods and piston pins. However, two Chevy rods are wider than those in a Cadillac, so your crank grinder must also lengthen the Caddy crank's rod journals.
The 7-inch Oliver big-block Chevy rods used here are actually longer than stock 6.370-inch center-to-center Cadillac rods-yet conventional three-ring pistons fit without the oil ring impinging into the pinhole. No block-clearance grinding was needed, even with a 0.196-inch stroke increase. Another plus: The Chevy rods' small ends are bushed for common 0.990-inch big-block Chevy floating piston pins.
The 7/16-inch high-tensile ARP 2000 fasteners used in Oliver rods require a special tightening method using a Snap-on torque angle gauge.
Miller used a Total Seal ring pack. The top compression ring is Total's slant-gap design, which actually consists of two thin rings plus a support rail. The unique top-groove ring combo still needs file-fitting, but with the ring segments installed 180 degrees opposed and the rail pressure-loading them by deflecting combustion gases into the ring groove, this combo generates a nearly gapless ring with virtually zero leakdown. Marion Performance did the bore-and-hone job for the rings, which require a very specific surface finish. It also installed Miller's new billet main caps and line-bored the block.
The only available oil pump is a Melling stock replacement. Miller shimmed the relief spring to raise its pressure to 30 psi at idle and 60 psi at max rpm. The 0.140-inch-thick shim plus a new cotter pin for retaining the relief-spring plug is available from Miller (PN DMR-5110-C). Access to the pump is easy since it's externally mounted on a Cadillac. Other than opening up the main bearing journal oil holes to match the bearing insert holes as needed, no internal oil mods are needed to keep the Caddy alive through 5,000 rpm.
Cylinder Heads
One of Miller's reasons for doing the project in the first place was the introduction of new aluminum Bulldog Cadillac heads capable of supporting all those cubic inches. The problem was actually finding a pair, but recently Maximum Torque Specialists (MTS) acquired exclusive rights from the original supplier to produce and sell the Caddy heads. MTS has incorporated some revisions in the cores to enhance interchange with available intakes, although the material and capability remain to really port 'em for high-output engines.
In any event, Miller had Creative Flow Management's Mike Stark tune them up. "The heads needed the most help in the valve-bowl area and short-side radius," Stark says. "We did a four-angle valve job and back-cut the intake valve." On the intake side Stark cleaned up the CNC port-match and generally performed some minor deburring. Finally, PolyDyn put a thermal-barrier coating on the valve heads, combustion chambers, and exhaust runners to retain heat in the cylinder for maximum power.
Since the Caddy has only four head fasteners per cylinder, Miller seals the heads with Victor-Reinz head gaskets retained by ARP 1/2-inch studs (ARP PN 135-4007). The Teflon-coated composition-style Victor VR2000-series head gasket (PN 3852) is included in full set FS3852.
The numbers were generated on Creative Flow Management's Audie Technology flow bench at 28 inches of water. Lift is in inches. Flow numbers are in cfm.
Cam And Valvetrain
Custom-ground exclusively for Dick Miller Racing by Comp Cams, the flat-tappet hydraulic camshaft is designed to produce gobs of low-end torque with all-around driveability. It features an XFI intake lobe, an Xtreme Energy exhaust lobe, and a wide lobe-separation angle (see spec chart). Although 0.050-inch durations in the mid-230s may seem fairly hairy for a low-end torque motor, the Cad is about 190 ci larger than the quintessential small-block 350. Assuming similar cylinder-head flow characteristics, each 50ci displacement increase likes about 5-7 degrees' more duration to maintain a roughly equivalent powerband: In a 541ci engine, a cam with 230 degrees duration (at 0.050) therefore behaves much like a 205- to 210-degree cam does in a 350.
The camshaft rides on Clevite SH-30S cam bearings. Because Caddy cam journals aren't grooved the same way as Chevy's, you must precisely align the oil hole in the bearing with the hole in the journal during installation. And to prevent durability problems, be sure to coat the cam and Comp lifters (PN 869-16) with Comp's supplied lubricant and break-in additive (PN 159).

Sanderson universal Caddy headers (PN CAD500) with 17/8-inch primaries and 3-inch collectors dump into Magnaflow mufflers. All dyno results are through the mufflers.
Induction, Ignition, And Exhaust
Designed for daily driveability with lots of torque, the induction system consists of an Edelbrock Performer fed by one of The Carb Shop's Stage 2 750-cfm Quadrajets. The totally refurbished carb was rebuilt with new throttle-shaft bushings and resealed throttle-well plugs. It was recolored back to the original stock appearance before being custom-calibrated for the application. A Performance Distributors ignition system lights the spark, while the exhaust is handled by Sanderson headers and Magnaflow mufflers.
Here's the engine ensconced on Southern's SuperFlow engine dyno. Except for the bright-blue paint and headers, it looks practically stock from the outside. Bosch supplied the water pump, alternator, and starter.

Southern Performance in Memphis is Miller's preferred test facility. Run on 93-octane pump premium with 36 degrees of advance, the engine rocked to the tune of 649.3 lb-ft of torque at 3,400 rpm, with 526.3 hp by 5,000 rpm. Grasp the total breadth of these curves: From 2,900 rpm through 4,400 rpm the engine made over 600 lb-ft. It made over 500 hp from 4,400 on up, and over 400 hp from 3,300 to 4,300 rpm.

Up to 0.120-inch overbores are usually OK on a Caddy without block filler, although a copper gasket is needed over 0.080. This engine is 0.075-over. Yes, BHJ makes a Caddy torque plate (PN 472/500-R-S-AL-T). Miller offers the stainless fuel-pump block-off (PN DMR-5950-C, arrow).Crankshaft Specialist offset-ground the Cad 500 iron crank's rod journals down to the big-block Chevy size, upping its stock 4.304-inch stroke to 4.5 inches. The journals were cross-drilled and hard-chromed, the counterweights knife-edged and lightened, and the entire assembly internally balanced. The throws and counterweights received oil-shedding coatings.Miller used Mahle-Clevite TM-77 Cadillac replacement-series trimetal main bearings(PN MS-970AL-STD). H-series performance TM-77 big-block Chevy rod bearings (PN CB-743H-STD) work with the crank's Chevy rod journals. PolyDyn applied dry-film antifriction coatings on all bearings. Correct any mismatch (arrows) between the main saddle and main bearing insert holes by opening up the holes in the saddle.Thanks to the tall Cad block, 1/16-, 1/16-, and 3/16-inch rings fit without impinging into the Diamond piston's pinhole-even with the big stroke and long Oliver 7-inch center-to-center rods. The rings are Total Seal: a plasma-moly gapless top, a cast-iron second, and a standard-tension oil.Diamond forged pistons and pins were treated to PolyDyn high-tech coatings: a heat-reflective thermal barrier on the piston deck and antiscuff dry-film lubricants on the piston skirt and piston pins.The piston pins hang on the rods using floating pins retained by double 0.042-inch Spirolocks. The stroker parts drop right into the Caddy block-no need for clearance grinding. At this power level, the two-bolt bottom end needs help from Miller's new billet main caps retained by ARP studs (complete Miller stud-and-cap kit, PN DMR-5943-C-S).To ensure all oil passes through his K&N filter, Miller removed the stock oil-pump plastic bypass valve, drilling and tapping its orifice for a socket-head pipe plug (arrow). JB Weld provides added insurance.Like its classic Buick, Olds, and Pontiac V-8 brothers, the big Cad crank uses a rope seal at the rear. Rope seals have more drag, are hard to install, and tend to leak. Miller offers a Caddy two-piece neoprene seal (PN DMR-40012-C). The red stuff on the bearing insert is Torco MPZ assembly lube.When it comes to Caddy oil pans, there are basically two choices: the rear-sump passenger-car type (shown) or a center-sump pan used on front-wheel-drive Eldorados. The 6-quart (with filter) passenger pan is best for most custom applications. For initial break-in and dyno runs, Miller used Lucas 20W-50 conventional oil. Eventually he'll switch to synthetic.
Bulldog Cadillac heads have high-efficiency 76cc combustion chambers with 2.19-inch intake and 1.84-inch exhaust valves. They will fit the stock Cadillac short-block and pistons. Note the PolyDyn coating.On original Bulldog heads the intake port roof was raised slightly over stock. Stock and Edelbrock intakes still bolt up, but if port-matched, the intake flange thickness is left really thin. The newer castings have a slightly lower roof, but enough material remains to port them to their fullest potential.The oval-shaped exhaust ports have improved flow but remain in the stock position. PolyDyn coated the outside of the heads and intake manifold with its new stain-resistant HS polish coating, which makes them look even better. Miller offers these sheetmetal Cadillac valve covers (PN DMR-0100-C) that clear roller rockers in a natural finish or painted.With no separate dowel pin like in a Chevy, to advance or retard a Caddy cam you must drill both sprocket mounting-bolt holes oversize and install bushings in each hole. Miller's bushing kit (PN DMR-5155-C) was installed with red thread-locking compound, then staked in place.Melling's standard link-type replacement timing chain (PN 3-498S) does the job. Cloyes offers a hard-to-find Caddy true-roller timing set (PN 9-3139). The cone-like stock oil slinger keeps oil from seeping past the front seal and should be retained for correct balancer fitment. BHJ's SFI-legal, degree'd, 6.2-inch-od Cadillac steel harmonic damper (PN CAD-IB500E-7) will bolt to the stock hub at the bottom of the photo.MTS Bulldog heads accept the stock Caddy valvetrain, aftermarket shaft-mount systems, or stud-mounted rockers. Miller used adjustable Comp Cams 1.7:1 aluminum full-roller stud-mount rockers listed for a Ford 289/302/351W (PN 1049-16).An antiwalk button is used to fight the cam's tendency to push forward under load. To set the clearance, file the bolt (not the bronze bushing) in Miller's kit (PN DMR-5740-C). Check by laying a straightedge across the front cover gasket, wedging the cam rearward, and inserting a feeler gauge. Miller's two-piece front cover (PN DMR-2582-C) allows cam changes without damper removal or disturbing the pan gasket.Miller's valvetrain uses ARP 7/16-inch rocker studs (PN 100-7101). Pushrod guideplates came with the heads. The rest is all Comp: 3/8-inch-od, 10.350-inch-OL Hi-Tech pushrods (PN 8712-16); dual springs with damper (PN 950-16); Super Lock retainers (PN 740-16); and 10-degree Super Locks (PN 611-16). The geometry looks good, with the valve-stem tips showing a near-perfect wear pattern.Performance Distributors' DUI distributor (PN 817211) and Live Wires (PN C9075) receive 18 volts from a VIP step-up box (PN 5577). The extra juice allows wide-gapping of the spark plugs for a more powerful burn on each piston stroke. Holley's PN 12-150 150-gph electric fuel pump is used in place of the inadequate Caddy mechanical fuel pump.
Creative Flow Management port-matched Edelbrock's Performer Cadillac dual-plane (PN 2115). The spread-bore intake is designed to make low- and midrange torque through 5,500 rpm. PolyDyn thermal-barrier coatings were applied to the valley side to prevent hot oil from heating the air/fuel charge.For higher-rpm applications, check out MTS' single-plane intake. Recent versions have a smaller plenum to optimize 2,500- to 6,500-rpm performance. Larger variants are available with standard Holley, 4500 Dominator, or Q-Jet mounting flanges. You can drill the blank cast-in bosses for EFI or nitrous nozzles.

I just watched through the flash demo with my MIS director, and am quite excited about the possibility of moving to Zimbra from Exchange. However, as one of his high-level techs pointed out, the system would never work in our enterprise without the ability to have global backups, and specific mailbox restores.
It's not an infrequent request to have an executive's email restored in order to find a deleted message, or to document that such a message was, indeed, sent within the time defined in the terms of service, etc.
Perhaps I'm missing the documentation of said ability, but the documentation seems to indicate differently:
Backing up the mailbox server on a regular basis can help you quickly restore your email service if there is an unexpected crash. You should include backing up the Zimbra server in your system-wide backup process. Only full backups of the Zimbra data can be created. Before backing up the Zimbra data, all servers must be stopped. To stop the servers, use the CLI command, zmcontrol stop. After the backup is complete, to restart the servers, use zmcontrol start. See Appendix B, for more information about the command. To restore the Zimbra data, you must delete the existing data and then restore the backup files. The servers must be stopped before restoring the data.
Please let me know if this is something that already exists within the backup/restore system, and I've just missed it, or if it's within the extant roadmap. I'd be extremely excited to see Zimbra become fully feasable for us!

The room is very quiet you are having a stare down with a board that consists of 64 squares, 32 are your color and the other 32 are your opponents color. You have 16 men on the board and across from you the opposing Army has 16 as well, this is a battle to checkmate.
Chess is a game like a battle can be over in a heartbeat or go on for several hours depending on the skill set of the players involved. It has been played by nobles and commoners in the park. This amazing board game has stood the test of time and is showing no signs of loosing fan base.
There are numerous opening moves, strategies and everyone has their favorite, but none guarantee victory if you are facing a worthy opponent. There is no age limit; chess is a game that can be enjoyed by young and old alike.
The chess sets themselves can be a work of art and can fit handsomely in a home office, game room or study. There are countless themes, styles and different materials that the chessmen and boards are constructed from.
It is your move.

ATLANTA -- Overstock and liquidation stores offer surplus goods to the public at a deep discount, but where do they get their merchandise?
One source is freight auctions, also known as pallet auctions. Marcus Barela, owner of Fr8Auctions.com, holds an auction every other Thursday at his Fulton Industrial Boulevard warehouse south of Atlanta.
There are hundreds of pallets containing clothing, electronics, appliances and other items. Barela said there is a different variety at each auction. "The merchandise comes in trailer by trailer," he said. "We just lay it out in rows."
Barela said the inventory comes from all over the United States though some of the specifics are kept under wraps. "I wish I could tell you where everything came from, but we have seven major contracts with different people all over the country," he said. "We have three or four contracts with different financial institutions. It comes from bankruptcies, repossessions, loss, assorted merchandise that is shipped from freight lines, rail ways, different companies like that."
Many freight auctions, like Barela's, are open to the public. "We sell both to individuals who want to save $300 or $400 on a laptop computer and people who want to save several thousand dollars on a pallet of electronics, lighting or clothing they plan to resell," he said.
The discounts can be enormous, but the business is not without risk. Bidders may not be able to see all the contents of a pallet or what condition they are in.
"It's kind of fun not knowing, it's kind of a grab bag thing," said David Hackett.
"This is the easy part. Finding ways to sell at a profit is the hard part," said bidder Jeffrey Copelan, who regularly buys and sells items from freight auctions.

Royals Caravan visits Operation Breakthrough
The first week of caravan tours wrapped up today as current Royals Mike Aviles, Billy Butler and Mike Jacobs joined Royals Hall of Famer Willie Wilson and Fox Sports Kansas City commentator Ryan Lefebvre at Operation Breakthrough in Kansas City. The mission of Operation Breakthrough is to help children who are living in poverty develop to their fullest potential by providing them a safe, loving and educational environment. The organization will be the recipient of proceeds from the 2009 Diamond of Dreams, set for July 23 at Kauffman Stadium. Team photographer Chris Vleisides was on hand today and sent us these pictures:
The guys signed autographs, played catch, and read books with the kids. Here's a group shot with some happy young Royals fans.
Mike Aviles was all smiles today…the 2008 Royals Player of the Year missed a connecting flight yesterday, which prevented him from attending caravan events in Omaha and Des Moines.
Billy Butler is really getting the hang of reading with kids…which is good, because Billy and his wife Katie recently became parents themselves.
Here's Royals Hall of Famer Willie Wilson reading with a new friend. Anyone think Willie reads like he runs…fast?
Later, one of the kids started giving everyone stickers. Now here's a picture that worth a thousand words…Willie Wilson is rolling with laughter as he holds Eeyore from the Winnie the Pooh books. Notice the sticker on Willie's forehead.
We close with a great sight…one of our first pictures with new Royal Mike Jacobs in powder blue.

What a great event! I think it's wonderful that the KC Royals are doing this! Keep posting the pictures!

The unified life
Vocation | Monday through Saturday are not secular days for the Christian but days of service to God
Some 100 pages into 48 Days to the Work You Love, author Dan Miller lists sentences not to put on a resumé. Among them are: "I am a rabid typist," "Worked party-time as an office assistant," "My experience in horticulture is well-rooted," and "With my obsession for detail, I make sure to cross my i's and dot my t's." A line like "Experienced in all faucets of accounting" would work only among Washington big-spenders.
If only finding the right position were as easy as avoiding such errors. Example: Law school graduate Robert Stillwell, who worked in the White House Office of Management and Budget during President George W. Bush's administration, read Miller's book and others as he searched for a post-Bush job. His experience included high-level work providing legal counsel on budget issues and even higher-level work serving as the White House Easter Bunny alongside President Bush.
Stillwell says he "found the path to take while exiting the White House by identifying the passions and desires God had laid on my heart and finding where they intersected with the skills and abilities He had given me." He spent time identifying his skills and abilities, networking (LinkedIn helped), and taking practical steps (48 Days helped). He gained inspiration from Eric Liddell's declaration in the film Chariots of Fire that when he runs he feels God's pleasure.
The identifying passions experience of Stillwell, who now works with a leading management consultant firm, rings true to what I've found in advising students over the past three decades. One place to start: List your dreams and passions. What is it you find naturally enjoyable? If money were not important, what would you spend your time doing? When do you find the time just flying by? What are those recurrent themes that keep coming up in your thinking? What did you enjoy as a child but perhaps have been told was unrealistic or impractical to focus on as a career?
Since man does not live on bread, houses, or cars alone, putting material considerations first in choosing a career is an invitation to disaster. As Miller writes, asking "How can I achieve that position, status, and power? [is] likely to be an elusive path, leading to rapid burnout." Saying "show me the money," going with "what will be in the most demand," or searching for security are also ways to choose wrongly: A rapidly changing work environment means that "little security is found in any company or job." But looking for the most "godly" or "humanitarian" jobs may also be a mistake: "While honorable, using these as external criteria can misdirect a person from doing what is a proper 'fit.'"
I've found two things to be key: Understanding the biblical approach to work, and understanding the talents God has given you. Biblically, work is not "that necessary evil that consumes the time between our brief periods of enjoyment on the weekends." It's not "primarily a method of paying the bills" or "the shortest path to retirement."
Instead, just as the heavens declare the glory of God by showing the majestic extent of His creation, so we glorify God by showing the creative powers that He has given us. Think of the Hebrew word avodah, from which come both the words "work" and "worship." Monday through Saturday are not secular days but days in which we worship as we work. Life is to be unified, with everything we do serving God.
Miller writes of three workers at the Nissan plant in middle Tennessee summarizing their workdays. One, thinking in terms of job, says, "I'm a welder-that's what they pay me for each Friday." The second, thinking in terms of career, says, "I'm making a beautiful car today." The third worker is thoughtful for a moment and then responds, "I'm helping to create innovative and responsible transportation for individuals, families, and companies." That's vocation, or calling.
If we get that straight, the next question is: How do you find your calling? I'd suggest a self-exam with two questions: What are you good at? What do you enjoy doing? The first question is important because God doesn't hand out talents in such a willy-nilly way that most people are good in multiple areas-or, to be precise, so good that others will pay them to do it. And, most people come to find that they enjoy what they're good at, because God gives us the desire to gain pleasure from being productive (and having others respect our work).
Sometimes, though, what we most enjoy is not what we're good at-and then it's important to give ourselves enough time to see if we can become good. But Miller rightly criticizes "sanctified ignorance . . . the belief that if we love God and have committed our lives to Him, everything will work out." He emphasizes that "knowing God's will is not some passive guessing game. Rather it is taking what God has already revealed to us and developing a plan of action"-and that includes an exit strategy if we find people over a period of time not appreciating what we most appreciate about ourselves.
Specific detail is important both in writing and in thinking about callings. In school, we learn to be generalists: The goal is to get on the honor roll by getting good grades in all classes. In the work world, though, we specialize: We need to become excellent at one thing, and failing at some others is not failure. Miller gives this good advice: "Work where you are the strongest 80 percent of the time, where you are learning 15 percent of the time, where you are weak 5 percent of the time."
He also notes that "fulltime Christian service" is a misleading expression, because "the Bible gives dignity to any work. All occupations are sacred." He's not saying that about prostitution or other ungodly vocations, but once we've dropped those negatives we also "need to eliminate the artificial ranking of the godliness of work. There are no second-class citizens in the workplace." Thinking of this theologically: We are all actors on God's stage who need to learn how we fit into His big story. Each role is important, and we are subjectively choosing moment by moment even though objectively the drama is already written: We can aspire to be heroes rather than villains or idiots.
Miller rightly describes the importance of challenges. Here's the first part of an ad that explorer Ernest Shackleton placed in the early 1900s as he looked for candidates for a South Pole expedition: "Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, long hours." The ad drew more than 5,000 candidates. Here's David Livingston's response from Africa when the missionary society asked him if he had "found a good road" so that other missionaries could easily join him: "If you have men who will come only if they know there is a good road, I don't want them. I want men who will come if there is no road at all."

Tampa, FL (Sports Network) - Teddy Purcell scored a tie-breaking goal in the third period and Steven Stamkos sealed Tampa Bay's 4-2 win over the visiting Philadelphia Flyers with his 200th career tally.
Ondrej Palat and Tom Pyatt both lit the lamp in the first period for the Lightning, who notched their second straight home win on the heels of a five- game skid at the Tampa Bay Times Forum.
Pyatt is playing on a line with rookies Tyler Johnson and Cory Conacher.
"A lot of pride obviously, it shows the confidence that coach has in our line right now," said Pyatt after the game. "We have great chemistry obviously coming from Syracuse. We like to buzz and we are all three fast guys that like to play hard, so we'll take it. To have three guys that are fast and can grind it out and play different styles, it brings an edge to our team."
Anders Lindback turned away 28 of the 30 shots Philadelphia fired in his direction.
Claude Giroux and Maxime Talbot scored for the Flyers, who have dropped four straight on the road. Ilya Bryzgalov made 23 saves in defeat.

Six fighters from this past Saturday's "Strikeforce: Heavy Artillery" event have tested negative for performance-enhancers and drugs of abuse in the organization's independent testing.
Strikeforce spokesperson Mike Afromowitz confirmed the news today with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
Included on the list of clean fighters is Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem, who faced accusations of performance-enhancer use leading up his headlining fight with challenger Brett Rogers. Overeem won the bout in dominating fashion with a first-round TKO.
"Strikeforce St. Louis: Heavy Artillery" took place May 15 at the Scottrade Center in Missouri.
Also tested from the card were Antonio Silva, who defeated Andrei Arlovski by unanimous decision; Joey Villasenor, who lost a unanimous decision to grappling ace Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza; and Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante, who knocked out Antwain Britt on the Showtime-televised card's opening bout (Souza and Britt also underwent testing.)
Test results for the rest of the event's main-card competitors – Rogers, Arlovski, Roger Gracie and Kevin Randleman – are not yet available.
Strikeforce ordered the tests amid concerns over the protocols used by the Missouri Office of Athletics, which oversaw the May 15 event. Prior to the event, the commission said its bylaws did not facilitate across-the-board testing for performance enhancers and drugs of abuse, and officials expressed a desire to keep the process random in order to maintain the element of surprise.
Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker, however, said across-the-board testing was necessary to legitimize the event's results and worked with a local facility to implement the testing.
"We fixed the problem by drug testing everybody," he told MMAjunkie.com. "If there's a problem, we'll let people know. It was the right thing to do because the commission is doing random testing, and I didn't want to leave any chance or a crack of skepticism. And this puts everybody in check.
"We will do it again if we have to."
Results from the MOA's drug tests are not publicly disclosed unless an athlete tests positive for a banned substance.

You may have already heard that we now have an Oakland Zoo Dog, Lily Rae, and Zoo Cats, Billy, Scarlet and Calli. Lily Rae began her formal exhibit hours (formal only because she is often accessible for many other hours of the day, but these are the hours that the keepers can be sure will fit into their schedules) . She is "on exhibit" Mon., Wed., Thurs., and Sundays at 10-11am and 2-3pm. Often, she is hanging out with one of her keepers in the Contact Yard in with the goats and sheep where kids can pet and visit with her. She has progressed much faster than we expected and has been exceptional in these direct contact situations. I had a wonderful experience one day with a young girl, maybe eight years old, who absolutely fell in love with Lily. She pet her for a half an hour and did not want to leave. Her Aunt had to promise they would come back. She didn't have a dog at home, but really wanted one. Her Aunt said it was in the works, so we talked all about how to care for the dog and the importance of puppy classes and training.
Lily Rae graduated puppy training with Chelsea Williams from Bravo!Pup Puppy One, a five week course where she practiced sit, down, loose leash walking, and stay. She is now taking Puppy Two with Cathy Keyes, where she faces greater distractions and durations on her stays, learns to 'go to place' and eye contact among other things. Cathy and Chelsea are the two keepers that take Lily home at night. Early training is so important to insure that your dog becomes a good family member, but training can happen at any time. To learn more about puppy and dog training classes visit www.bravopup.com.
Lily Rae is a water baby and loves any opportunity to play in water, I've included a picture with her and the hose. She was a muddy mess shortly after this picture was taken.
The kittens are also doing very well although they are proving to be a bit more challenging than Lily to train. They are much more interested in playing. The keepers are working on things like teaching the kittens to come when they are called and allow their nails to be trimmed. Just like all of the animal training in the Zoo, it is done to care for the animals and only using positive reinforcement like food treats, praise, and petting. We are working on the modifications to the Cat Cottage, so Zoo guests can come into the room to visit with the kittens. In the meantime, when the kittens have an attendant, they will hold the kittens up at a short fence for petting, which both the kids and the kittens are loving.

Shacknai COVE- About About the COVE As the center of student service and volunteering at Colgate, our four-squared philosophy aims to create the belief among students that doing something is the first step; to teach life skills; and to work with the students toward social change. Menu Menu Mission and Goals Guiding Questions Where We Work Annual Report While we are a forward-looking organization on campus, we do take the time to reflect on our past experiences to see how we can grow in the future. READ THE 2012-2013 ANNUAL REPORT NEWSLETTER READ THE 2013-2014 COVE YEAR IN REVIEW Press Release April 19, 2013 - Colgate University Earns Place on National Honor Roll for Community Service Colgate University was named to the 2013 President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. This designation is the highest honor a college or university can receive for its commitment to volunteering, service-learning, and civic engagement. READ MORE Our Philosophy Direct Service When you think of community service, you likely are thinking about direct service. Serving the homeless in a soup kitchen, tutoring a child, volunteering at the fire department, or assisting the elderly at a retirement community are all manifestations of direct service. The COVE is an umbrella organization for over 30 student groups that perform different kinds of direct service. Campus Impact The university setting is a vibrant environment that poses many opportunities to experience service. We're here to encourage everyone on campus to get involved. COVE teams are constantly in partnership with other groups around campus - Colgate Activities Board, the ALANA Cultural Center, religious life, athletics, and fraternity and sorority life, to name a few. Presentations and speeches in classrooms are a fun and educational way to spread the word about service. We also take advantage of WRCU, Colgate's radio station, the Maroon-News, the university's weekly newspaper, the website, and bulletin boards around campus to get everyone involved. Student Growth Community service isn't just about helping those who are disadvantaged; it is also about the learning, enjoyment, skills, and experiences of the volunteers. Community service presents innumerable opportunities for you to grow as a leader. Many of our volunteers claim to learn as much from their work with the COVE as they do in a class. We strongly encourage and practice reflection on experiences and activities that students have with the COVE. This allows you to consider the full value of what you've done, and exposes you to different perspectives and opinions on sometimes tough or controversial subjects. Through lectures, development sessions, and informal chats, we make your time working with the COVE as enriching as possible. Social Change What is community service if it's not done because you care? Meaningful service work involves a greater goal. If we are touched by the gratefulness of a customer at a soup kitchen, we will be delighted to serve them. If we are outraged at educational inequity because of one's socioeconomic position, we wouldn't think twice about tutoring to change one child's life. If we are shocked by ignorance of genocide in the Sudan, we will make sure that the people who can change things care. We combine all of the direct service we perform, the partners we work with, and the strength of our leaders to promote real social change in the world. Lobbying politicians, enacting new campaigns, and sponsoring lectures by political figures are just a few of the things we encourage you to do!

Hey everyone!

When local gov cannot act in the face of a safety issue, tehn the Fed/state must act. No $? Obama is spending nearly $100 million on his latest vacation/royal tour, can we have some crumbs? And he wants war in Syria so bad he can taste it and is willing to trot out the dredded WMD excuse (with a straight face) but low estimate for his Syria war will be $20 billion even if our troops don't invade. We spent $20 billion on Libya and send them nearly a billion every quarter. But we are told that 1 in 6 American children go to bed hungry every night. And bridges are falling down all over America...but Obama is focused on creating Islamic govs in the Middle East and touring. We have more war now than Bush could ever imagine. Well, progressives (the new shadow word for fascism)tell us to ignore IRS, Libya, Egypt, Syria, NSA spying, bugging phones. But why are kids in the US still hungry and the Bellaire bridge is still up?

You would think that the bond could go to a trusted court. Obviously Benwood is trying to rake some cash in on this project. I don't blame them for wanting cash in place to clean up a mess that some demolition company may not but It certainly looks like they are wanting a gift.

Obama remarks on 'fiscal cliff' legislation
President Barack Obama's remarks on the "fiscal cliff" legislation passed Tuesday by the House, as provided by the White House:
Happy New Year, everybody.
A central promise of my campaign for president was to change the tax code that was too skewed towards the wealthy at the expense of working middle-class Americans. Tonight we've done that. Thanks to the votes of Democrats and Republicans in Congress, I will sign a law that raises taxes on the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans while preventing a middle-class tax hike that could have sent the economy back into recession and obviously had a severe impact on families all across America.
I want to thank all the leaders of the House and Senate. In particular, I want to thank the work that was done by my extraordinary Vice President Joe Biden, as well as Leader Harry Reid, Speaker Boehner, Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell. Everybody worked very hard on this and I appreciate it. And, Joe, once again, I want to thank you for your great work.
Under this law, more than 98 percent of Americans and 97 percent of small businesses will not see their income taxes go up. Millions of families will continue to receive tax credits to help raise their kids and send them to college. Companies will continue to receive tax credits for the research that they do, the investments they make and the clean energy jobs that they create. And 2 million Americans who are out of work but out there looking, pounding the pavement every day, are going to continue to receive unemployment benefits as long as they're actively looking for a job.
But I think we all recognize this law is just one step in the broader effort to strengthen our economy and broaden opportunity for everybody. The fact is the deficit is still too high, and we're still investing too little in the things that we need for the economy to grow as fast as it should.
And that's why Speaker Boehner and I originally tried to negotiate a larger agreement that would put this country on a path to paying down its debt while also putting Americans back to work rebuilding our roads and bridges, and providing investments in areas like education and job training. Unfortunately, there just wasn't enough support or time for that kind of large agreement in a lame-duck session of Congress. And that failure comes with a cost, as the messy nature of the process over the past several weeks has made business more uncertain and consumers less confident.
But we are continuing to chip away at this problem, step by step. Last year I signed into law $1.7 trillion in deficit reduction. Tonight's agreement further reduces the deficit by raising $620 billion in revenue from the wealthiest households in America. And there will be more deficit reduction as Congress decides what to do about the automatic spending cuts that we have now delayed for two months.
I want to make this point: As I've demonstrated throughout the past several weeks, I am very open to compromise. I agree with Democrats and Republicans that the aging population and the rising cost of health care makes Medicare the biggest contributor to our deficit. I believe we've got to find ways to reform that program without hurting seniors who count on it to survive. And I believe that there's further unnecessary spending in government that we can eliminate.
But we can't simply cut our way to prosperity. Cutting spending has to go hand-in-hand with further reforms to our tax code so that the wealthiest corporations and individuals can't take advantage of loopholes and deductions that aren't available to most Americans. And we can't keep cutting things like basic research and new technology and still expect to succeed in a 21st century economy. So we're going to have to continue to move forward in deficit reduction, but we have to do it in a balanced way, making sure that we are growing even as we get a handle on our spending.

President's Support of Same-Sex Marriage Puts Benefits Managers on Notice
Employers may need to revise or revisit their domestic-partner benefits frequently to make sure they are in line with state-mandated same-sex marriage laws.
Employers face a growing jumble of laws on same-sex unions and domestic-partner benefits, a trend that could accelerate with President Barack Obama's recent support for gay marriage, experts said.
The president's words won't cause any immediate legal changes, and many large companies are already covering domestic partners above and beyond state laws, said Joan Smyth, a partner at global benefits consulting firm Mercer.
"The president's pronouncement isn't a law; it didn't place any requirements on employers to do anything," Smyth said, adding, "I could see a CEO saying, 'I've always wanted to do this, so let's do it.' "
Obama said in an interview last week with ABC, "I think same-sex couples should be able to get married."
In 2011, 46 percent of large employers (those with more than 500 workers) offered same-sex domestic-partner benefits, up from 39 percent in 2010, shows Mercer's national survey of employer-sponsored health plans. Employers in Western states were most likely to offer these benefits, with 79 percent offering them last year. Employers in the South were least likely to offer the benefits, with 28 percent offering them in 2011, Mercer says.
Obama's comments "might accelerate the trend a little bit but the trend is accelerating already," Smyth said.
Gay rights groups said the president's backing brings the issue to the forefront.
"The unprecedented news of having a sitting president support marriage equality has opened up the conversation," said Deena Fidas, spokeswoman for the Human Rights Campaign.
Today, 17 jurisdictions either recognize same-sex marriage or allow unmarried couples to join in state-sanctioned unions. Eight states and the District of Columbia allow same-sex marriage and treat all spouses identically for state law purposes, including insurance, employment and taxation.
Five states have legalized civil unions and, in four states, domestic partners enjoy the same rights under law as opposite-sex marriages. Another six states offer limited rights to all unmarried couples, according to a recent Mercer report.
And on May 14, Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee declared that the state will recognize same-sex marriages performed elsewhere, giving gay couples the same rights as heterosexual ones when it comes to health insurance and a slew of other benefits.
The private sector is ahead of the public sector, Fidas said. "What's interesting is that despite the confusion and contradictions in the states on the issue, corporate America continues to surge ahead," she said.
There's a lot for benefit managers to consider when it comes to extending coverage to same-sex partners, Smyth said.
Employers must take into account disability benefits, life insurance policies, retirement plans, medical coverage and family-leave laws in the states they operate.
Companies with self-funded health and welfare policies are governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or ERISA, which pre-empts state laws on benefits.
"In general, employers with self-insured ERISA health and welfare plans may choose whether and to what extent they will provide benefits to life partners, irrespective of state law," Mercer said in a recent report.
State nondiscrimination laws can come into play, however. Some employers offer family discounts or memberships for products or services, or bereavement leave, and those benefits must extend to opposite-sex spouses and life partners where state law prohibits discrimination, according to Mercer.
Twenty-one states and the District of Columbia have workplace nondiscrimination laws, according to the Human Rights Campaign.
Complicating matters further, some federal and state laws on same-sex marriage are being contested in the courts or are in flux because of pending legislation or ballot initiatives.
"Employers would be well-advised to monitor developments in the courts, legislatures and voter referendums," Mercer said in a recent report. California's Proposition 8 prohibiting same-sex marriage is winding its way through the courts, and in Washington state, opponents of same-sex marriage have vowed to block a new law legalizing the unions starting in June.
Meanwhile, a day before Obama announced his support of gay marriage, North Carolina voters approved Amendment One, defining marriage as only between a man and a woman. The constitutional amendment passed by a 61-39 percent margin.
Employers may need to revise or revisit their domestic partner benefits frequently to make sure they are in line with state-mandated same-sex marriage laws, advises Mercer.
In the past 10 years, more employers have seen that offering equal benefits to same-sex couples is smart business, said Smyth, and the cost has proven to be minimal.
"It attracts and retains good employees and keeps employers competitive," she said of the benefits.
Fidas agreed. Among Fortune 500 companies, 60 percent offer domestic-partner benefits, the Human Rights Campaign says. "There's a sense that workplace equality has permeated the society," she said.

MISSOURI: Dorial Green-Beckham hauled in a 25-yard touchdown pass from James Franklin in the final minute of regulation to tie the game, then four overtimes later, Andrew Baggett kicked the game-winning 35-yard field goal to give Missouri the 51-48 win over Tennessee. Despite a dreadful first half (2- of-8, 18 yards, INT), Franklin came on late and completed 19-of-32 passes for 226 yards and four touchdowns. Green-Beckham also hauled in a touchdown pass in the third overtime, giving him two catches for two scores on the afternoon. Kendial Lawrence was spectacular out of the backfield, gaining 153 yards on 21 carries while punching in two touchdowns. Missouri (5-5, 2-5 SEC) forced Tennessee into a turnover on downs in the fourth overtime, which led to the game-winning kick. The Tigers will try to become bowl eligible this week when they host Syracuse in a non-conference bout.
ALABAMA: The Crimson Tide's perfect season came to a screeching halt as it fell at home to Texas A&M on Saturday, 29-24. For the second straight week, the vaunted Alabama (9-1, 6-1 SEC) defense looked vulnerable, as it allowed Johnny Manziel and company to get out to a 20-0 lead after the first quarter. The defending national champs climbed back into the game in the fourth quarter, but A.J. McCarron threw an interception in the red zone inside of two minutes to end the threat. McCarron threw for 309 yards and a touchdown on 21- of-34 passing, but he threw two picks, snapping his school record of consecutive pass attempts without an interception at 292. Amari Cooper caught six passes for 136 yards and a touchdown for his second career 100-yard receiving day. The usually-potent rushing attack was held in check as the team averaged fewer than four yards per carry, but Eddie Lacy (92 yards) and T.J. Yeldon (29 yards) both scored touchdowns. The loss causes major shakeups at the top of the polls, but Alabama still controls its own destiny in the SEC West. The team will close out the regular season with home games against Western Carolina (Nov. 17) and Auburn (Nov. 24).
ARKANSAS: Despite a record-breaking game for two of the Razorbacks' offensive stars, they fell at home to the nationally-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks over the weekend, 38-20. Tyler Wilson completed 26-of-41 passes for 277 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and he also completed his 529th career pass, which moved him into first place on the program's all-time list. It wasn't all smiles for Wilson however, as he was victimized by the USC defense with a pair of interceptions and four sacks. It was a modest day receiving by Cobi Hamilton's standards (four receptions, 72 yards), but the effort was still enough for him to join the record books as well, becoming the school's all- time single-season yards king with 1,149. Jonathan Williams was the leading rusher on the day with 61 yards on just six carries. Arkansas (4-6, 2-4 SEC) will need to win its last two games to become bowl eligible, starting with this Saturday's clash with Mississippi State.
AUBURN: The long and painful season for the Tigers continued as they were shut out by Georgia in their own building on Saturday, 38-0. The offense gained just 238 total yards, while the Bulldogs marched up and down the field for nearly 500 yards. Making his second start of the season at quarterback was Jonathan Wallace, who finished with 181 yards and an interception, but his 15 completions was the most by any AU quarterback in a game this season. Emory Blake posted his eighth career 100-yard receiving game by hauling in six balls for 104 yards. The rushing attack, which has been the team's strength all season, had nowhere to run on the day with just 57 yards, with 33 coming from Tre Mason. Auburn (2-8, 0-7 SEC) will host Alabama A&M on Saturday before finishing up at Alabama on Nov. 24.
FLORIDA: The Gators suffered a major scare at home against the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns, as they found themselves down, 20-13, late in the fourth quarter, but they scored a pair of touchdowns in the final two minutes to squeak out a 27-20 win. Filling in for an injured Jeff Driskel, Jacoby Brisset threw a touchdown pass to Quinton Dunbar to tie the game at 20-20, then on Louisiana's ensuing possession the Gators blocked a punt and Jelani Jenkins returned it 26 yards with just two seconds remaining for the go-ahead score. Driskel completed 13-of-16 passes for 98 yards and a touchdown, and he rushed for another 76 yards before his exit. Brisset led the comeback charge with 64 yards on 6-of-8 passing. Jordan Reed was the leading receiver on the day with five receptions for 85 yards. Mike Gillislee was bottled up all afternoon, gaining just 45 yards on 14 carries. Florida (9-1) takes on Jacksonville State in Gainesville this Saturday.
GEORGIA: With a dominating 38-0 road victory over the Auburn Tigers, the Bulldogs clinched the SEC Eastern Division and have earned the right to play for the conference championship. For the third time this season, freshman running backs Todd Gurley (116 yards. TD) and Keith Marshall (105 yards, TD) each topped 100 yards rushing, and they only needed a combined 19 carries to do so. Aaron Murray didn't need to do much as he attempted just 24 passes, but he made them count by completing 18 of them for 208 yards and three touchdowns and no interceptions. The three touchdown tosses went to three different receivers, with Malcolm Mitchell (five receptions, 47 yards, TD) coming away as the top performer. The Georgia (9-1, 7-1 SEC) defense continued its outstanding play of late, holding Auburn to 238 yards while forcing two turnovers. The team will close out the regular season with a pair of in-state non-conference games against Georgia Southern (Nov. 17) and Georgia Tech (Nov. 24), respectively.
KENTUCKY: The Wildcats (1-9, 0-7 SEC) were off this week, and the good news is that they appear to be in line to snap their eight-game losing streak this Saturday night when they take on FCS foe Samford at home.
LSU: The Tigers climbed out of an early hole to come back and defeat Mississippi State on Saturday, 37-17, to claim their 13th straight victory over the Bulldogs. Zach Mettenberger continued his late-season emergence by completing 19-of-30 passes for 273 yards with two touchdown and no interceptions. Jarvis Landry set career-highs in both receptions (nine) and yards (109) while also hauling in a 19-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter. Spencer Ware (two receptions, 32 yards) also caught a Mettenberger touchdown, and J.C. Copeland punched in a one-yard rushing score late in the game. The defense also got into the scoring act, as Craig Loston tied a school record by returning an interception 100 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. LSU (8-2, 4-2 SEC) will play its final home game of the season this week when it hosts Ole Miss.
MISSISSIPPI STATE: For the third straight week, the Bulldogs lost to a ranked opponent as they traveled to Baton Rouge and were handed a 37-17 defeat at the hands of LSU. Against the second-ranked pass defense in the nation, Tyler Russell put together an impressive game, completing 26-of-38 passes for 295 yards with a touchdown and an interception. His completion and yardage totals were career highs, and the TD strike was his 17th of the year, breaking the single-season school record. Chad Bumphis caught a career-high nine balls for 140 yards and a touchdown, as he extended his school record with his 20th career TD catch. There wasn't much to praise about the defensive effort, but senior linebacker Cameron Lawrence recorded a career-high 15 tackles. Mississippi State (7-3, 3-3 SEC) will try to stop the bleeding this Saturday when it hosts Arkansas.
OLE MISS: The Rebels held a six-point lead in late in the fourth quarter, but Vanderbilt connected on a game-winning touchdown pass with less than a minute remaining to hand them a heartbreaking 27-26 home defeat. Bo Wallace put together one of the best games of his career by completing 31-of-49 passes for a career-high 403 yards with two touchdowns (one rushing) and no interceptions. Vince Sanders (five receptions, career-high 96 yards) was on the receiving end of Wallace's touchdown pass in the first quarter, and Ja-Mes Logan also had a career-day with eight receptions for 160 yards. Ole Miss (5-5, 2-4 SEC) scored on each of its trips to the red zone, but it had to settle for four field goals from Bryson Rose. It will need to win one of its remaining two games, either against LSU (Nov. 17) or bitter rival Mississippi State (Nov. 24) to become bowl eligible.
SOUTH CAROLINA: The Gamecocks put together a sound all-around effort to pull off an impressive road victory over Arkansas, 38-20. The offense gained 383 yards, led by Connor Shaw who completed 14-of-22 passes for 272 yards with a pair of touchdowns and an interception, and while he was held to just 10 rushing yards on eight attempts, he also found the end zone on the ground. Mike Davis (53 yards) and Kenny Miles (37 yards) split carries in the backfield in the absence of Marcus Lattimore to marginal success, with Davis scoring a third quarter touchdown. Bruce Ellington caught five passes for a career-high 104 yards and a touchdown. The defense was impressive as well, forcing three turnovers and sacking Arkansas QB Tyler Wilson four times. South Carolina (8-2, 6-2 SEC) will host FCS foe Wofford this Saturday.
TENNESSEE: The Volunteers took a 21-7 lead into the break, but the defense collapsed in the second half as Missouri battled back to tie the game in regulation, and eventually win in four overtimes, 51-48. Tennessee scored touchdowns on its first three overtime possessions, but in the fourth overtime elected to go for it on fourth down rather than kick a field goal and came up short. Missouri made the Vols pay for their decision by kicking the game- winning field goal on its next possession. Tyler Bray was impressive despite the defeat, throwing for 404 yards and four touchdowns on 37-of-54 passing. It was his third game this season with at least 400 yards passing and his fifth game with at least four TD passes. For the second straight week, Tennessee (4-6, 0-6 SEC) had two receivers post 100 yards, as Mychal Rivera (10 receptions, career-high 129 yards, TD) and Justin Hunter (nine receptions, 141 yards, TD) were both outstanding. The UT rushing attack combined for 153 yards and three scores. The Vols will try once again to record their first SEC win of the season when they play at Vanderbilt this Saturday.
TEXAS A&M: The Aggies pulled off the unthinkable by going into Tuscaloosa and knocking off No. 1 Alabama, 29-24, for their second win ever over a top-ranked team. They got off to a fast 20-0 lead in the first quarter, and even though the Crimson Tide climbed back into the game late, the A&M defense came up with a few key interceptions to seal the victory. Johnny Manziel has had much better days yardage wise, but it was his poised performance against a great defense that put him square in the Heisman race. The freshman finished by completing 24-of-31 passes for 253 yards and two touchdowns, and he also led the team in rushing with 92 yards. Ryan Swope was once again Manziel's favorite target, as he hauled in 11 balls for 111 yards and a touchdown, and in the process broke Jeff Fuller's school record for career receptions (233). Christine Michael didn't do much on the ground (12 carries, 27 yards), but he cashed in with two touchdowns. Texas A&M (8-2, 5-2 SEC) will step out of conference this Saturday when it hosts FCS foe Sam Houston State.
VANDERBILT: The Commodores trailed Ole Miss for nearly the entire game, but their quarterback came up with a clutch play when they needed it most. Down by six points in the final minute of regulation, Jordan Rodgers completed a 26- yard touchdown pass to Chris Boyd to lift Vanderbilt (6-4, 4-3 SEC) to a 27-26 victory as it notched its fourth straight win and became bowl eligible in the process. Rodgers completed 20-of-35 passes for a season-high 267 yards and a pair of scores. Boyd finished with five receptions for 64 yards and the score, but it was Jordan Matthews who had the biggest day receiving with nine grabs for a career-high 153 yards and a touchdown. Star running back Zac Stacy needed to leave the game after just two carries due an injury. He was replaced by Wesley Tate (43 yards, TD) and Brian Kimbrow (41 yards). Vandy will play its SEC finale this Saturday against rival Tennessee.

Hello, and welcome to this inaugural post with the aim of discussing Enterprise Report Management (ERM) related topics. Please look elsewhere for discussions about enterprise risk management or enhanced remote mirroring.
ERM is not new, the technology has been around for over 20 years with products like IBM Content Manager OnDemand, IBM FileNet COLD, IBM FileNet Report Manager, and IBM Report Management and Distribution System.
During this time many organizations have woven ERM applications into the backbone of their businesses to manage the storage and access of formatted high volume computer output and reports in support of customer service and, more recently, customer self service.
Other applications include online check storage and retrieval. If your internet banking application allows you to view your checks online, chances are they are being stored in an IBM Content Manager OnDemand system.
Historically ERM has been viewed as a standalone application. But within the past 3-4 years, ERM products have been increasingly integrated with other ECM products to support content, records and business process management applications. Not surprisingly, leading analysts now track ERM as a subcomponent of the Enterprise Content Management (ECM) market.
I look forward to discussing the use of ERM within the broader ECM community and beyond. Here's looking forward to the next 20 years.

Amy Cherubini, a former standout player at Indiana University, is entering her seventh season on Beth Couture's staff with the Butler women's basketball team. After four seasons as an assistant coach, Cherubnini was promoted to associate head coach for the 2010-11 season.
Cherubini brings coaching experience to the Bulldogs from three universities in addition to the professional and high school levels. Prior to arriving at Butler at the start of the 2006-07 season, Cherubini spent two years as the top assistant at the University of Indianapolis. The Greyhounds advanced to the second round of the Division II NCAA Tournament during the 2004-05 campaign and were ranked as high as fifth in the Great Lakes Region. While at Indianapolis, Cherubini was involved in all aspects of the program, but focused on recruiting, opponent scouting, coordinating team defense and monitoring student-athletes' academic progress.
She arrived at Indianapolis after posting a 49-21 record in three seasons as the head varsity coach at Pike High School on the west side of Indianapolis, leading the team to sectional titles in 2002 and 2004. The team was ranked third in the state and ninth in the Midwest by USA Today during the 2002-03 season. In 2003, Cherubini coached the Jermaine O'Neal County All-Star Team.
Prior to that, Cherubini served as an assistant at Saint Louis University for three years from 1998-2001. Her primary responsibilities included working with the team's backcourt players, recruiting and scouting
Cherubini spent two seasons with the Atlanta Glory of the American Basketball League (ABL). During her first year, she served as an assistant coach, before moving into the lineup as a player-coach in 1997-98. Before her ABL tenure, Cherubini was an assistant coach at Michigan for the 1995-96 season.
As a player, Cherubini competed for Indiana from 1988-92. She averaged 13.3 points as a senior in 1991-92 and was named the Chicago Tribune Big Ten Player of the Year. Cherubini set a school record (and then Big Ten mark) with 10 3-pointers made in a game. She captained the Hoosiers as a senior.
The Newark, Ohio, native earned a bachelor's degree in elementary education from IU in 1994. She was inducted into the Utica (Ohio) High School Hall of Fame in 1999.

Last Saturday, Port employees were joined by Starbucks employees, University of Portland students, the Portland AmeriCorps Alums group and few local residents for a SOLVE Beach and Riverside Cleanup event at West Hayden Island. The cleanup is one of over 100 similar events that occurred in Oregon in September.
The island provides public access on the beach up to the ordinary high water mark and plenty of litter and debris had accumulated since the last time we held a cleanup event in 2011. The group of 128 volunteers removed 2,800 pounds of litter and debris. We would like to deliver a big thank you to all who participated in the cleanup. Please visit our Facebook page for a few photos from the event.

(The Cardinal Nation Show) -- The Cardinals have turned their NLDS into a best of three. Thanks to Sunday's night's dramatic come from behind win at Philadelphia.
They returned to St. Louis, Monday afternoon, with the series tied at one. Game three is this afternoon at 4:07.
A few of the players showed up at the stadium, Monday, for a brief workout. The "surprising" thing about the Cards maybe is their attitudes, despite, all the pressure they have played under since August, the players have remained "calm" and "relaxed".
Tickets seem to be a bigger issue for 3rd baseman and St. Louis native David Freese. (SEE ATTACHED VIDEO)
