MARIETTA, Ga. -- Katie Warechowski is fighting to hold on. But bit by bit, her 2-year-old son Michael is slipping away.
"To not hear him talk has been the hardest part," Katie said. She leans down and kisses Michael, who is laying on his side on a huge pillow, whimpering every few seconds.
They knew it would be like this. They didn't know it would happen so quickly.
RELATED | Michael's story
When we first met Michael Warechowski IV four short months ago, he was bubbly, talkative, and happy. He was already good at counting, he teased and laughed with his mom and dad. He announced as they walked toward a window, "It's a beautiful day."
But he could not walk unassisted, and his feet shot out at odd angles, unable to bear his weight. At 2 years old, he had just been diagnosed with MLD - Metachromatic Leukodystrophy, a rare genetic disease.
Like all parents, Katie and Mike wanted to fight, but they were never given a chance, were just handed a sentence - a few more years with their son.
RELATED | Michael's blog
Already the milestones have already been snatched away - walking, sitting, talking, laughing, eating, swallowing.
"It's hard to watch him get frustrated and get scared," Katie said.
Immobilized by MLD and constantly in pain, Michael now needs a feeding tube.
"It's just constant, whining whimpering, pretty much all day," Katie said.
She lifts his leg, which sticks out straight, unbending, a side effect of the disease. "He probably needs a higher dosage of the muscle relaxer," she said. "See he won't bend his knees and his feet. He's completely stiff. And that's painful."
The Warechowskis see experts in Pittsburgh. They talk to other parents of MLD kids, but it's hard. Doctors here haven't seen it - only a few hundred people in the country have it, and it makes an already devastating reality more isolating.
"I feel very alone," Katie said.
So they do what they can.
Dad Michael Warechowski III picks up his son and lays him on his chest. The whimpering stops.
"It comforts him, just being held," Katie said. "You know when you don't feel well, you want your parents. This is all I want to do. If I could not do anything else, not go to work. I hate leaving him. I wish I could just hold him, all day.
They miss Michael -- the delight he took in his young life. They would give anything to lift this from him.
"I would take this from him times 10 if it meant that he wouldn't have to be in pain," Katie said. She looks down at her little boy. "I know you hear me baby." She kisses his face.
The cost of caring for Michael and getting him to the only experts in the country is exhorbitant.
The Chick-fil-A at Woodlawn in Marietta will be holding a spirit night to help raise money and awareness for MLD and the Warechowski family Wednesday, Sept. 12, from 5 to 8 p.m. It's located at 1201 Johnson Ferry Road in Marietta. Donation jars will remain there through the weekend.

Item # GIR0271
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Mountain Helmets in stock than that.View Similar Products
Giro Athlon Helmet $0.00
The Giro Athlon was created in response to their efforts to better the hugely popular E2 Helmet. In Giro's world this is true -- make it better or don't waste the effort. Well, they didn't waste their time. The Athlon betters its predecessor by moving air more efficiently over the rider's head, and its shape has been improved by Giro's attention to "form language."
You shouldn't be surprised. Giro would never release a new helmet that didn't outperform the one that came before it. Even though the vents in the Athlon appear smaller than what you remember on the E2, Giro has improved their internal channeling to move that air over your head faster and easier. There are a total of 23 wind-tunnel-tuned vents for both intake and exhaust.
The Athlon's shape is more in tune with a human head than the E2. This is actually something we'd struggled with when checking out the E2. We liked the vents, the Roc Loc, etc, but the helmet didn't work with our aesthetic sense. It turns out that Giro felt this way too. So the shape is more organic but still has an aggressive quality about it. The Athlon also sits a bit lower on the head which helps it seem to disappear when riding.
The Athlon uses Giro's latest retention system, Roc Loc 5. The advantage over the older Roc Loc 4 is that you can make micro adjustments to the retention basket with a thumb and finger -- simply twist the ratcheting dial to achieve perfection. The whole system can be adjusted up and down to cradle the back of your head just as you like. Some of Giro's forward thinking gave rise to the special shape of the arms -- they allow the use of Giro's eyewear without interference, and they maintain the position of your straps so getting the helmet on is a no-muss, no-fuss affair.
The Giro Athlon Helmet is available in Black/charcoal and Matte White and in three sizes -- small, medium, and large. The visor has 15° of vertical adjustability for optimal protection/visibility, and it's removable as well. The wicking pads are durable, thanks to the welding of the cover material to the pad material, and easy to wash if they get stinky.
- 23 vents with Wind Tunnel air channel technology keep your dome from overheating
- All-new RocLoc 5 allows for quick and easy on-head adjustment
- Internal Roll Cage provides extra strength upon impact

overall great helmet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
lightweight and comfortable!
Everything I expected
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is a solid product that does everything that the manufacturer claims. Plus, buying it through backcountry.com provided me with a great discount!
Giro Athlon Helmet
Good Helmet
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I tried this and the Pneumo. Very similar in lightness, but has more vents.
Looks good with and without visor
Without the visor
Roc Loc 5
My first GIRO Helmet with Roc Loc 5
Great Helmet with Roc Loc 5
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have a few Giro MTB helmet and this is the first one with Roc Loc 5 and the are so easy to turn and adjust. I like the Matt Black color and the simple design. It looks nice with and without the visor. The 300g weight is ok for Mountain Biking and you hardly feel the weight. The strap is thin and soft unlike some low end Giro helmet. Since I was my helmet after long ride, cleaning the padding is a little inconvenience. It has 5 pieces and I lost 2 small one. I would recommend them when on sale since it is pricey for full price.
Giro Athon
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Great fit and light. Good venting. Giro comes through with a great helmet.
Robin, Whistler BC
Won't break the bank!
This is a good value helmet for racing. I used it for my first Iron Man. The fit adjustment dials in the fit well so the helmet stay put while riding hard.
Great value, fits the ladies too
My wife loves this helmet. If only it came in a few more colors that were women-specific, it would be perfect, but the fit is nearly as good as much more expensive offerings from Giro and she likes that the visor is there for dirt rides and removable when she's on the road.
Giro Athlon helmet, what's the weight?
Giro Athlon helmet, what's the weight?
Very pleased with this purchase
Nice looking helmet in the matte finish. Sizing chart is correct. Helment comes packaged with 2 plugs to fill holes if peak is removed and larger pads for smaller head cirumferences. No replacement pads included as with the 2 previous Giro helments I've purchased but this isn't a deal breaker. Great price from Real Cyclist.
Where did you find the silver finish (i.e., not the green)?
From Real Cyclist...I think I may have ordered the last one.
Does the lid detach?
Does the lid detach?
It appears to. There are 2 plugs included in the packaging that look like they would fill the slotted holes had I removed the peak.
Great Helmet
This Helmet is great. I have been using it for a few months now and am very happy with it. It is light and fits great. I had an older Athlon with the RocLoc 4 system and was happy enough with it but the RocLoc 5 system on the new Athlon is definitely more sturdy and better designed. The venting is good and I like the fact that the visor is removable for when I jump on my road bike. All in all it is a great helmet for the price.

Waste export industry
Redirected from Waste management
this wiki
The waste export industry was a powerful and profitable Malon business responsible for the disposal of industrial byproducts such as antimatter waste. Though many in the industry take pains to find isolated, uninhabited regions to dump the radioactive waste, others are not so scrupulous.
The workers aboard Malon export vessels are exposed to theta radiation that causes severe health consequences. They endure it because they are well-paid, and they believe they are performing a necessary service. Core laborers, who receive the highest radiation doses, are paid more for two months' work than most Malon make in a lifetime. (VOY: "Juggernaut")
In 2375, Captain Kathryn Janeway offered Controller Emck Federation technology that would allow the Malon to reclaim their antimatter waste. Despite the benefits such technology would bring to the Malon, Emck rejected the offer as it would render the waste export industry obsolete. Voyager eventually transmitted the technical specifications to the Malon after dealing with Emck. (VOY: "Night")

Legends Luncheon – Part 2: The Club through Trey Hillman's eyes
Yesterday we gave you a piece of the conversation held at the Crosstown Station between General Manager Dayton Moore, manager Trey Hillman, and former players Al Fitzmorris and Willie Wilson. Today we'll bring you the rest of what was said during the final State Farm Legends Luncheon. For more information on the luncheons please visit www.thebestofbuck.com. The Luncheons are in honor of Buck O'Neil and have supported the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum (www.nlbm.com) for nine years.
Part one of the Luncheon recap yesterday focused heavily on Moore and building the Club's minor league system. Wilson, as a one-time Royals farmhand, put in his two cents about how to build the club as well.
Today, Around the Horn wants to focus on what Hillman had to say about his first year as a manger. We'll preface Hillman's comments by saying that after the conversation between the four men on stage finished, the audience was allowed to ask questions. One woman asked both Hillman and Moore what their best and worst decisions were since joining the Royals. Moore told the crowd his greatest baseball decision to this point was the hiring of Trey Hillman to manage the Royals.
Moore fells so strongly that he has the right man he barely hesitated before responding. He sees in Hillman a desire and work ethic fit for the job. Two examples of that are Hillman's seemingly tireless work while in spring training. Hillman would be on the back fields working with the minor league players long after the Major Leaguers had showered and left the complex. No one asked Hillman to do it, he just did.
In the same manner, he was at the Royals pre-draft workout hitting fungos to prospects who weren't even in the organization yet. Moore said these are the types of things no other manager in the Majors is doing but they make the young players want to play for Hillman. If that kind of environment can be created, then a pride and desire to wear the Royal uniform will be created. Something Around the Horn wrote about yesterday in talking about strengthen the farm system.
Needless to say the fan was pleased and said she truly believes that Hillman and Moore are the best people in baseball today to take on the job of building a champion in Kansas City.
When Hillman took the job, the first thing he did – which was his answer for his best decision – was to start talking to players but also to start raising the expectations. Hillman said he was wearing out his cell phone while he was still in Japan talking to people in the organization from players to publicity folks to the baseball minds. He did say not to mention this fact to the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters, his club last season in Japan. So keep that on the down-low.
The expectation of the 2008 Royals was to win the World Series. That was Hillman's best decision. He told people before the season, "If you aren't aiming for a championship, you can't win one." He also knew that 2008 was going to be a season where a lot of questions needed to be answered.
Since Moore's arrival, the team needed to address some issues like adding a front-line starter and a slugger to the lineup. Moore has done both of those things with Gil Meche, who was considered a middle-tier free agent when he signed, and Jose Guillen, who has come with some controversy but is an impact to the lineup. These players believe in what's going on in Kansas City and want to win, which is where Hillman is coming from. He wants to win.
This season hasn't been the easiest. Hillman said probably one of his other decisions that could go either way was not to use Joakim Soria during the 12-game losing streak. Using the Royals All-Star may have won that game, but the what-ifs can go both ways. Hillman is content to know that Soria is healthy and still pitching at an extremely high level. Had he been used on short rest during the streak, who knows what may have happened.
For the first-year manager, Soria is a bright spot. He heard so much good about the closer during spring training but didn't see it. Soria didn't pitch like an All-Star in the spring. But he turned it on once the season started. Hillman said he was amazed that he had 39 (now 40) saves on a team that had less than 70 wins.
Hillman was also impressed with Mike Aviles. He told Moore that Aviles would make an impact on this ball club during the spring. However, Hillman didn't think the rookie would make this much of a difference to the 2008 team. Likewise with Ryan Shealy. During their demotion meetings, both players were somewhat upset but quickly turned around their feelings to a desire to work and get better.
Another question and answer was Zack Greinke. They wanted to see him stay healthy and stay consistent in the rotation for a full year. Greinke has matured and blossomed this season. Hillman said he's become a pitcher and not just a thrower. One of the key's for Greinke (who starts today) is to pitch around 91-92 mph and keep his 96-97 mph heater in his back pocket to break out every once in a while and baffle a hitter. Greinke has done that and so much more. He has become a student of the game.
Fitzmorris said that he and the pitchers on his teams were constantly talking to hitting coach Charlie Lau. They wanted to know how hitters thought about hitting. Hillman said this team is becoming students of the game in the same manner. He hopes that the inefficiency of the starters comes as a bit of a "slap in the face" and spurs them to work more. Look at what Kyle Davies accomplished two nights ago. That is a perfect example. Hillman said that if Davies can reproduce 75 percent of what he did on Tuesday he will be a solid performer. True, its one start and this late season surge is in September. But Hillman likes to live by a saying he got from Moore.
"Believe in what you see and not what you hear," Hillman said.
For starters, congratulations to Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki. He received a warm ovation from the Kauffman crowd when he collected his 200th hit of the season last night. With the hit, Suzuki tied a Major League record and broke the American League record by recorded eight straight seasons with at least 200 hits. He broke Wade Boggs' A.L. mark of seven (1983-89) and tied Wee Willie Keeler (1894-1901)…Jose Guillen and Alberto Callaspo have career high hitting streaks going at 14 games and 11 games, respectively…Ryan Shealy homered for the second straight night, the second time he's accomplished the feat this season (third in his career)…The Royals are riding a season-high six-game winning streak and have 11 homers during the streak…Joakim Soria is one of three Royals pitchers to record a 40 save season and currently has the fourth best season in team history behind Jeff Montgomery's 45 in 1993 and Dan Quisenberry's 45 in 1983 and 44 in 1984.

The atmosphere is really poor since they were no travelers to hangout with right there. The hostel allow people who work they to stay. My room had two Indian guys who are always in the room sleeping so it was a bit annoying for me to get in and out. Showers are on the other side of the hostel so you have to pass by the desk each time you shower. Stuff were kind though "

I'll swap my exchange mail server with Zimbra Collaboration Server 7. As we have Blackeberry Entreprise Server so we need to connect ZCS 7 to BES. I know that ZCS 7 mobile connector is available for BES 5 or more. I asked our BlackBerry Service partner to support me to do the upgrade from BES V4 to V5. But they refused to do it and they rejected my request and closed the support ticket when they knew that I'll replace Exchange by Zimbra.
Do you think that's normal ?

A changing of the guard at ISM
May 31, 2011
Every month, I write about two reports from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM): the Manufacturing Report on Business and the Non-Manufacturing Report on Business. These reports do an excellent job of serving as accurate and timely benchmarks of what is happening in the economy.
Along with these reports providing excellent data and information, one of my favorite parts of covering them for the Peerless Supply Chain Group's Websites is that I get to interview incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable people that are truly experts in these subject areas.
On the manufacturing side, my contact has been Norbert J. Ore, CPSM, C.P.M., the ISM's Manufacturing Business Survey Committee Chair. But the ISM recently announced that Ore has retired after more than 15 years on the job.
I will certainly miss my monthly interviews with Ore. Over the past 15 months or so, we developed a solid rapport which got more detailed as the months went on. Thanks to his ability to break down often complicated subjects in ways which I could communicate them to my readers was invaluable on multiple fronts.
What's more, he did it in a way which told both the big picture and the little picture, which, in turn, helped me to think about the manufacturing sector in ways which I previously did not before—especially when it came to the business of the manufacturing supply chain, which is of primary importance to all of us.
It did not matter what we discussed. It could be inventory levels, employment, pricing, you name it. Ore always put the ISM data into perspective, as it related to the everyday economy. That is no small task when you take into account the wild economic ride we are still on.
I mean this insight from Ore is hardly surprising, given his accomplished supply background, including serving as a supply chain consultant and recognized supply management leader known for global strategy and technology implementation in Fortune 500 companies including Georgia-Pacific, Chesapeake Corporation and Sonoco Products Company.
Ore will be replaced by Bradley J. Holcomb, CPSM, CPSD, senior vice president and CPO for Dallas-based Dean Foods. Holcomb, like Ore, also has a highly impressive supply chain pedigree, including holding executive-level procurement and supply management positions at Royal Group Technologies, Waste Management Inc., American Precision Industries and Praxair Inc. According to the ISM, his early career was with Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, New York, where he held a broad range of management positions over a 20 year period and led the effort to globalize procurement by developing and implementing worldwide processes and best practices.
I had an opportunity to speak with Holcomb while on an interview with Ore earlier this year, and he certainly appears to be up to the task for the ISM. I look forward to getting his "in the trenches" view of the manufacturing sector.
Norbert J. Ore will be missed by LM, and I look forward to speaking with him in the future. And at the same time, I welcome my future correspondence with Bradley J. Holcomb.

bleeding disorder that slows the blood clotting process. People with this disorder experience prolonged bleeding or oozing following an injury or surgery. In severe cases of hemophilia, heavy bleeding occurs after minor injury or even in the absence of injury. Serious complications can result from bleeding into the joints, muscles, brain, or other internal organs. Milder forms may not become apparent until abnormal bleeding occurs following surgery or a serious injury. People with an unusual form of hemophilia B, known as hemophilia B Leyden, experience episodes of excessive bleeding in childhood but have few bleeding problems after puberty. Hemophilia B is inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern and is caused by mutations in the F9 gene.[1]Hemophilia B is a

Jordan Johnson's uncle talks about family's challenges
The uncle of suspended Griz quarterback Jordan Johnson offers a peek inside Johnson's family as they struggle with the criminal charges he faces.
Prosecutors accused Johnson of raping a friend, and he pleaded not guilty to the charge. University of Montana officials tell us Johnson's still a student for the fall semester. They can't say whether he's attended classes this week. Though one thing is clear, allegations of rape have hit his family hard.
"Anybody that knows Jordy knows what a great kid he is," said Jordan's uncle Lane Johnson.
It's not easy for Lane to talk about the crime his nephew's accused of. "You know Jordy's like a son to me."
But their relationship extends beyond those family ties. Lane coaches football at Sheldon High School in Eugene, OR. He and Jordan's father Marty coached Jordan as quarterback in 2009 when the team won the State Championship.
"I couldn't do any of this without my teammates…it's an unbelievable experience," said Jordan in 2009 after the win.
But the days of winning have been put on hold. Johnson's still suspended from the Griz.
While his Uncle Lane is confident in what's to come, "I truly believe in my heart that everything is going to work out okay."
For now, things are rough. "But I would obviously be lying to you if I said it wasn't weighing on our family," said a tearful Lane.
In Jordan's court case, we're currently waiting for his attorneys to file a reply brief, after just last week prosecutors demanded that the judge take the case to trial.
A response from Johnson's attorneys is expected this week.
You can watch the full interview with Jordan's uncle here.

Music Workstation
A.To better understand why this might happen, let's look at how the Fantom-X uses its memory for sample storage.
When working with samples on the Fantom-X, two different types of memory are used:
Whenever you record a new sample, the Fantom-X stores it in RAM. While the sample resides in RAM, it can be played and edited. However, since RAM is cleared when the Fantom-X's power is turned off, you must save the sample to flash memory (user or card) if you want to retrieve it for later use. This requires that there is enough free storage space in flash memory to accommodate the size of the sample - the longer the sample, the larger its size.
By installing a DIMM in the Fantom-X, you've greatly increased the amount of sampling time available. This means that you can potentially record a sample that is too large to be saved in the Fantom-X's built-in user memory. Therefore, to save a long sample recorded with the expanded DIMM, you must save it to an installed PC card that has enough free space available to store the sample. If you often record a lot of long samples, a good rule of thumb is to acquire a PC card with a memory capacity that is at least equivalent to the size of the installed DIMM. For example, if you install a 512 MB DIMM, install a 512 MB PC card as well. For more storage flexibility, you may even want to consider a larger capacity PC card. (NOTE: In addition to samples, other Fantom-X data - such as patches, performances, and songs – can be stored in user and card memory. The amount of data currently stored in these memory locations impacts the amount of free space available for storing new data.)

So, having acquired a new iPhone, the first test was to hook it up to Zimbra.
The process was surprisingly painless, I selected "Exchange" as the server, plugged in my Zimbra credentials, and was off.
The Calendar works beautifully. New appointments appear like magic, and my selection of Accept/Maybe/Decline updates the server perfectly.
My personal Contacts also sync in beautifully and edits appear to move back and forth the way they should.
The Corporate Directory (which I presume should equate to the GAL), unfortunately, remains blank. Hopefully clever people somewhere will figure out either the right software for the iPhone side or the right tweaks to Zimbra to make this work.
Mail works as advertised as well, although when I read from Thunderbird I need to remember to 'Compact' my INBOX occasionally. Otherwise messages that I copied elsewhere or "deleted" still appear in the phone until the next sync occurs (or I re-delete them there). Changes made from ZWC update correctly.
There does not appear to be any 'Notes' support.
So, overall, excellent out-of-the-box Zimbra compatibility. Not having the Directory/GAL search working will need to be resolved before I can authorize a wider corporate deployment, but it's very usable.

So what does a doctor mean when they say, "You need to eat a healthy diet"?
Many people understand they should not be eating the Twinkies and candy bars or drinking sodas, but is there more to it than that. Where should you begin in a world that is full of misinformation and fad diets? Start with the basics of whole foods.
Whole foods are original foods, from the natural source and unprocessed. An apple from the tree is better than apple sauce, raw broccoli is better than frozen and steamed, fresh green beans are better than canned. Remember, the closer to the natural source the more nutritious it is for your body.
Fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans and seeds should be the primary source of nutrition for you and your family, with animal proteins making up a smaller percentage. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has recommended creating a healthy plate with half of it fruits and vegetables, with a wide variety of colors. The more your plate looks like a rainbow, the more nutritious it generally is.
Chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol and heart disease can be improved, if not reversed, by eating a primarily plant-based diet. In one extensive study, entitled Pritikin Residential Lifestyle Intervention, participants took part in a 26-day physical and dietary intervention. That included prepared meals with 10-15 percent of calories from fat, 15-20 percent of calories from protein, and 65-75 percent of calories from unrefined carbohydrates.
Proteins were mostly plant derived, carbohydrates were in the form of high-fiber whole grains (at least 5 servings a day), vegetables (at least 4 servings a day), and fruits (at least 3 servings a day). Most of the study participants had known heart disease, including patients who had been recommended to have bypass surgery.
By the end of the 26 days, most had been taken off high blood pressure and heart medications. They also noted an improvement in cholesterol values and decreased angina or heart-related chest pain.
You may find yourself frustrated with fatigue, obesity, chronic disease and now you are ready to step into better health, so where do you begin? First, speak to your doctor regarding a primarily plant-based diet. There are several options to consider when changing your diet, including vegetarian and vegan diets, or just decreasing the amount of saturated fats and cholesterol in animal products, such as meat and dairy.
To improve your odds of sticking to your new and healthier lifestyle, try to think of food as a fuel for your body, much like gasoline is for your car. Would you put grease into your car and expect it to run well? The same goes for your body; junk in results in junk out, such as obesity and chronic disease.
Nutritious foods allow your body to run efficiently and repair damage that occurs. The natural state of your body is healthy, not sick, so give your body what it needs to heal itself and you will be amazed at how good you feel.
Dr. Laurie Marbas is a family physician at Grand River Hospital and Medical Center in Rifle.

'As hard as you can': A story about the indestructibility of Phil Simms
Around this time three years ago, Phil Simms, who will broadcast Super Bowl XLVII on Sunday, was broadcasting Super Bowl XLIV, between the Colts and the Saints.
Late in the game, the Colts were down by a touchdown but were advancing into Saints territory.
Before a third down play, Simms made a quick decision about how the Saints could best thwart Peyton Manning, and released.
"If I was the New Orleans Saints, I would not blitz him. I would put the extra guys in coverage," Simms said.
His voice, as always, was twangy, nasal, assertive, and urgent, as if he had an extra-special stake in convincing you of his opinion.
But the Saints, whose defense that year relied on risk-taking and turnover creation (and yes, perhaps also a bounty system), blitzed anyway. And it worked: Colts quarterback Peyton Manning rushed his throw, which Saints defensive back Tracy Porter intercepted and returned for a championship-clinching touchdown. Game over on the field, conspicuous blunder in the broadcast booth.
As confidently as Simms delivers his opinions, he's quick to own up to his mistakes. He shrugged this one off with the self-deprecation of a man who has been laid low by the game before, and knows that missteps in football are simply a byproduct of striving.
"What was I saying? 'Don't blitz?' Well, they sent everybody!" Simms said.
For the last 34 years, whether as a broadcaster or as a player, that's what Simms has gotten paid to do: Assess the pieces on the football field, make a decision, and act on it.
Shit happens in football: Simms' down-and-up-and-down-and-up career, from 1979 to 1993, from bust to Super Bowl M.V.P., was itself a testament to the chaotic nature of the game, as well as to Simms' ability to weather it. Simms is 58 now, and football's unpredictability has become a source of vitality, keeping him on his toes as he creeps closer to senior citizenhood.
"I'm not the type of guy that's looking forward to sitting on the beach," he told me on the phone two weeks ago.
Simms has been the lead analyst for CBS football games since 1998. Sunday's Super Bowl, between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers, will be his seventh as an announcer.
When we spoke, he was making the two-hour drive from a taping of Showtime's "Inside the NFL" in South Jersey back home to Franklin Lakes, in North Jersey. On top of the game he broadcasts each week, his workload has grown to include weekly spots on "Inside the NFL" and CBS Sports Network's "NFL Monday Quarterback", as well as radio interviews like his Sunday spot on Mike Francesa's "NFL Now". His gigs require that he watch every N.F.L. game every weekend.
"I always used to say I prepared more as a quarterback, but that's just not true anymore," he said. Now, "there's really no day off."
But he wouldn't have it any other way.
"I was watching the game the other night, and Brent Musburger's doing the game. And I turned to my wife and said, 'Wouldn't it be great if I could hang on to be 73?' And my son [Matt] goes, 'Dad, that's sad.' But it's too much fun being involved in football. I see Dick Enberg, I see Brent Musburger. What a thrill to be part of the action! There's so much to the game."
There always has been for Simms. His exclamations—"Wow!" "Golly!"—speak to his unrestrained, goofy enthusiasm for football. This quality sets Simms apart from his more diffident counterparts at FOX and NBC, Troy Aikman and Cris Collinsworth.
To his fans, Simms is smart and infectiously enthusiastic. To his critics, he's a strident know-it-all.
Any announcer whose job it is to dissect every play will be wrong every now and then, and Simms's golly-gee style makes him more susceptible to snickering than most. But Simms makes no concessions to the snickers and the naysayers: If you've spent your playing days weathering Bill Parcells, armchair quarterbacks are a walk in the park.
Besides, Simms was raised in a household with a sports-nut father and eight siblings, where the point-counterpoint, jab-and-parry style of sports banter was a source of family bonding. Picture a houseful of people sharing Phil Simms' genetic makeup and accent: If you wanted to be heard, you'd have to have been loud, clear, and emphatic.
"My friends would come over and make the mistake of giving their opinion [about sports]. And we'd all go, 'What?!' and then start beating up on them for 10, 15 minutes," he told me. "So I've always loved talking sports and following it. Now I love doing the same thing. And I know a lot of people disagree with what I say, and that's fine."
THE 34-YEAR-OLD CLIP IS NOW LEGENDARY AMONG GIANTS fans: N.F.L. Commissioner Pete Rozelle at the microphone, his hair voluminous at the sides in accordance with 1979 styles, his inflexions old-fashioned as he announced the first round pick of the once-proud but now moribund Giants: "Quwahtaback, Phil Simms, Morehead State."
The instant eruption of boos, in retrospect, is hilarious.
Rozelle smiled sheepishly, in sympathy for the poor no-name from the unknown Kentucky school.
Since then, it has come out that the famous clip was actually a second take. The first time Simms was announced, the NFL Films cameras malfunctioned. So they asked if they could film it again, with the fans' negative reaction crystallized and queued up. The first time Rozelle made the announcement, Simms said, "I was told there was stunned silence."
Either way, the upshot was the same.
Ray Perkins, the Giants' coach at the time, recounted for me on the phone several years ago the reaction at the time: "Phil who?"
Now in his 70s, Perkins' voice is Deep South and piercing. So really it was more like: "Feel Heeeew?," that last accusatory syllable drawn out to underscore the extraordinary risk of it all. Both Perkins and George Young, the general manager, were in their first year with the Giants at the time. Their very first action was to pin their professional reputations on a guy nobody had heard of.
Some small-school prospects gain renown for lighting up the lower level of competition: think Steve McNair, or Randy Moss. Simms wasn't one of those guys. During his career at Morehead State, he threw for 32 touchdowns and 45 interceptions.
There were other reasons to form a negative snap judgment as well. His white-blond dome of hair, pasty skin and slightly gap-toothed smile added up to the stereotypical portrait of a Kentucky hayseed not ready for prime time. His teammates took one look at him and dubbed him "Prince Valliant." Giants fans, justifiably cynical about the franchise's every personnel move after 15 years of missing the playoffs, reacted more harshly.
"I had never been a head coach before, and George Young had never been a general manager before," Perkins recalled. "So a lot of people are saying, 'Here we go again.' And we all knew that."
Simms quieted his critics after his first year, taking over the starting quarterback job in Week 5 and leading his team to a 6-4 record in his starts, good enough to be runner up to Ottis Anderson for Offensive Rookie of the Year. But Giants fans in that era were used to good things going sour pretty quickly, and Simms quickly conformed to the pattern.
His second year ended with him sitting out the last three games with an injured collarbone, his completion percentage having slipped to 48 percent. His third year ended when he separated his shoulder in mid-November. His fourth year ended when he tore up his knee in preseason.
In his fifth year, 1983, Bill Parcells benched him in favor of an undistinguished fellow named Scott Brunner. Brunner eventually played himself out of the job, but Simms' bad luck continued when he got back on the field. On just his second series, he severely dislocated his thumb on the helmet of an opposing defensive lineman.
It was shaping up to be your classic star-crossed career, another Giants first-round bust. The only person who didn't think so, apparently, was Simms.
"Failure never crossed my mind," he told me. "Maybe I just didn't understand the landscape enough. But I'm telling you, it never crossed my mind."
That's Simms' hallmark: Perseverance, and the unwillingness to let failure define him. He has that exalted American quality of never doubting himself, even when presented with evidence that he should. As a broadcaster, he's able to admit his mistake and then proceed as assertively as before, as if the mistake never happened. As a player, he was able to shake off five damning years as a minor hiccup.
"There's no criticism worse than doubt, and people were doubting him. But I don't think it fazed Phil," Brad Benson, Simms' left tackle with the Giants, told me. "I think he just figured, 'I'm right, they're wrong,' and he just went about his business. He's got this spunky feistiness to him. Put it this way: A lesser personality wouldn't have gotten though that."
Simms told me, "It's one of my greatest traits, is that I'm hard-headed."
SIMMS' BROADCASTING CAREER BEGAN ABOUT as inauspiciously as his playing career.
It was 1994, and Simms was a rookie analyst on ESPN's "NFL Gameday," ambivalent about giving up his old career for his new one, and clueless about how to talk on air. He would have 15 seconds to weigh in a topic, not nearly enough time for the manifestos that he would write out and read, verbatim. His face would twitch. Words would gush out of his mouth, uncontrollable and without punctuation.
ESPN sent him to a media specialist named Andrea Kirby, a renowned athlete whisperer known for polishing jocks into talking heads. Kirby was so unsparing in her criticism of Simms, everything from his stiff comportment to his monochromatic clothes, that Simms referred to her as "Bill Parcells with makeup on."
"You have to be concise and descriptive. He was descriptive, but he wasn't concise. He was very, very wordy." Kirby told me.
But Simms got better in a hurry.
"He had the makeup, that confidence, to know in advance that he could figure this out," Kirby said. "He didn't mind when I'd tell him he was giving me brain damage with too many words. He was okay with that because of his confidence. So he was a fast learner."
The next year, Simms left ESPN to become a game analyst for NBC. This wasn't a clean split: ESPN President Steve Bornstein told The New York Times that Simms had voided his contract, thus spurning the network that had "taught him everything he knows about television." Still, he did so well that three years later, in 1998, he became the lead analyst for CBS when CBS re-acquired its NFL broadcast rights.
Phil McConkey, a return specialist and wide receiver for the 1980s Giants teams, told me, "The key with him was his perseverance, with his playing days and his broadcasting. If you go back and look at the tapes of his first year at ESPN, it wasn't pretty. But he put into it the same thing as he brought to his football career and got to the top of his profession. He grew up with his parents working on an assembly line [in a tobacco factory]. Hard work is all he's ever known."
SIMMS WASN'T THE ONLY GIANT WHOSE 1983 season was ruined by injury. In all, a staggering 25 Giants were placed on injured reserve, leading to a disastrous 3-12-1 record.
This was Bill Parcells' first year as head coach. It was such a spectacular failure that Young, the Giants general manager, reached out to University of Miami coach Howard Schnellenberger to gauge his interest in coaching the Giants.
"They tried to fire me. I know they were going to, if they could'a done it," Parcells told me several years ago. "Fortunately, I got a second chance."
I phoned Schnellenberger at around that time. "[George Young and I] talked about it, and he went his way and I went mine," he told me. When I pressed him further, he said, "That's as far as I'm going with it." (Young died in 2001.)
The upshot for the Giants was twofold: For one, Parcells came back a changed coach. Gone was the promoted former assistant who was still chummy with many veteran players. In his place was the first incarnation of the glowering autocrat he's known as today. That summer, he cut several key veteran players, and cultivated a mean streak designed to keep players perpetually on edge.
Bill Ard, a Giants offensive lineman of the era, told me, "He came in '83 and tried to be everyone's buddy. He was inches away from being fired. So he came back in '84 fuckin' swinging. Swinging. I remember he used to say that he put a pebble in his shoe just to be uncomfortable and pissed off."
Secondly, Parcells was determined to be proactive in keeping his players healthy. To that end, he hired a dedicated strength coach, a man named Johnny Parker, and overhauled the weight room. The idea that hiring a strength coach and having a first-rate weight room amounted to outside-the-box thinking seems astounding to us now. But this was 1984, back in the dark ages of sports science.
At the time, conventional wisdom was wary of heavy weight lifting, fearing it would limit an athlete's flexibility. High-repetition, low-weight training, performed on newfangled Nautilus machines, was in vogue.
All wrong for football players, Parker believed. He had made a goodwill trip to the Soviet Union the year before to observe their Olympic training program. The Soviets had this stuff down to a science: "It took the guesswork out of it for me," Parker told me of his trip.
He returned with a regimen of high-weight, low-repetition weight training and plyometric exercises designed to improve the explosive strength required in football.
Still, many Giants were themselves mistrustful of the new emphasis on weight training. Then, on Parker's third day on the job, Simms popped into the weight room wanting to work with him.
Recalled Parker, "I said, 'Phil, I'd be thrilled to death. But to be honest, I haven't had time to prepare a program for quarterbacks.'
"And he goes, 'I wanna do what everyone else does.' So I gave him the program for linemen, and that's what he did. And that was a key moment. Because he's your quarterback, and so much depended on Phil, and he hadn't been able to stay on the field."
Simms began working out with the linemen before the 1984 season, having failed to stay healthy his previous four seasons. Over his next three seasons, he didn't miss a single game. Where he was once known for being brittle, he became known for being tough: His calling card was standing tall in the pocket amidst a swarm of defenders until the last possible moment, the better to enable the Giants' offense long-developing pass patterns, often run by receivers who struggled to get open. Then he'd stride into his throw, with the same go-for-broke assertiveness with which he makes points as a broadcaster, accepting whatever punishment followed.
"Phil is tough, he's really mentally and physically tough. Nobody doubted his toughness and courage," said Parker. "The one thing he did that everybody saw was stand in there and take a hit to buy and an extra second to hit the receiver."
Added Benson, "He was gonna hold onto that fucking ball until the receiver was open, period. And he didn't have the best of lines those first few years, that's for damn sure. He was a warrior, that's all there was to it."
Aside from improving his durability, Simms' lifting with the linemen improved team morale. For a quarterback who had often been missing on the field, the weight room allowed him to reinforce his presence. The weight room, among other things, was ground zero for the team's culture of practical jokes, and Simms, with his Cheshire Cat grin, became the designated joker.
(When he appeared as a guest on Craig Kilborn's show in 2001, he was asked to use the expression 'Quarterback Sneak' with a sexual innuendo. Simms' response: "Honey, bend over and let the quarterback sneak in there.")
The bonding experience of the weight room endeared Simms to his teammates. As Joe Morris, the Giants' running back during the era, told me, "When you got a quarterback out there sweating and working with his offensive linemen, joking with them, you have to know this guy is thinking about one thing: He's trying to win football games."
Simms was back as the undisputed starter before the 1984 season. The Giants organization was giving another shot to Parcells, and Parcells was giving another shot to Simms. The pair had gotten off to a rough start: Simms had responded to his initial benching by throwing a profane temper-tantrum at Parcells, asking for a trade, and then pouting for the next several weeks while Young and ownership refused to grant his request.
But '84 was going to be different, and Parcells and Simms turned over a new leaf. With the rest of his players, Parcells was intent on instilling a message that nobody was above getting cut at the slightest provocation. But with Simms, he took the exact opposite approach. This was Parcells' special skill: He knew when to scream and when to stroke. Before the Giants' first game in Philadelphia, he approached Simms.
As Simms recounted in his book Sunday Morning Quarterback, written with Vic Carucci, Parcells said, "All right, Simms. If you don't throw at least two interceptions today, that means you're not trying enough. I need plays. Make some daring plays. Go for the big plays. Don't be afraid."
They would have regular spats for as long as they were with the Giants, two hard-headed men perpetually convinced of their own rightness. But from that point on, the tension in their relationship had a foundation of mutual trust and respect. Simms was now a Parcells guy.
That season, Simms set the franchise's all-time record for passing yards with 4,044, which stood until Kerry Collins broke it 18 years later. The Giants finished 9-7 and advanced in the playoffs. The quarterback had finally made good on his long-rumored talent, and the defense was one of the league's best. Things were looking up.
"I knew he was gonna call for me one day, I just knew that," Simms told me. "I let it go. And to his great credit, he did too. See? Two stubborn people can make it work."
"IT'S AMAZING HOW MANY UNCLEAR WHAT-IFS YOU DEAL with in a game," Simms wrote in Sunday Morning Quarterback.
"A lot of times you don't really know exactly what you did until you watch the film because the game is so fast and you're dealing with so many instincts and split second decisions. Often all you're left with is your best guess. You get a little under pressure, you can't quite see, and then you throw the ball to where you thought you saw the top of a helmet that's the same color as yours. The pass is complete, the crowd roars, and you go, Whew! Man!"
He was describing what it's like to play quarterback, but the sentiment applies to broadcasting as well. Sure, the perspective in the booth is better than on the field, but the speed of the game and the confusion of all the moving parts means it's all about best-guessing.
What better way to deal with such uncertainty than to embrace it and step into it firmly? Sure, a defensive player can crush you, or you can throw an interception, or Twitter may spasm for a minute in celebration of your mistake. But what good does it do to worry about all that?

I got a setup of 3 nodes (ldap,mta,mailbox) and I can't send system mails on mailbox node.
I've tried to follow wiki details as explained here: How to "fix" system's sendmail to use that of zimbra - Zimbra :: Wiki
but there's no sendmail in /opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin/sendmail so I'm not sure about the safest way to install a compatible binary without interfiring with zimbra.
I would like to do that on mailbox and ldap nodes.
any ideas?

Elk refuge, drive around and shoot one.
I would narrow your search down to an area you can draw 100% with your points. Since you lose them when you become a resident, you might as well make all those years of accumulating worth it. If you apply for an area that is not 100% and don't draw, you'll lose the points. Even in the best areas in the state, a 350-400" bull is tough to find.
You can't actually drive into the refuge to hunt, you have to park and walk. None-the less it's a pretty good way to see a lot of bulls.

Mountaineers will exceed expectations in '13
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- RUSH SANG THE lyrics "there is unrest in the forest."
Lead singer Geddy Lee should check out Mountaineer Nation these days.
After an amazing end to the 2010-11 season (Orange Bowl rout of Clemson) and a fast start to last season (5-0, including thrilling wins over Baylor and Texas), enthusiasm for WVU's team curbed in a manner only Larry David could appreciate. Tempered expectations extended throughout the Big 12. WVU was picked to finish eighth among the 10 league teams via the preseason media poll.
To which I say, oh ye WVU fans of little faith.
New quarterback Clint Trickett will help. He might not be great or an NFL prospect, but he will be good. New running back Charles Sims could be great. Fellow back Dreamius Smith will help. And Trickett's father, Rick, once told me great running backs can make an offensive line look good.
Defensively, WVU can only get better. And word I'm getting out of Mountaineer camp is the unit is significantly better.
In sum, the Mountaineers will win more games than they'll lose. They've been to 11 straight bowls. Playing in a jumbled Big 12, they'll make it 12.
Here's how:
Final WVU regular season record: 7-5, Texas Bowl.

I have spent the past few hours battling with mod_jk, Apache and Tomcat. Basically, I want to stop Tomcat servering on Port 80 (removing the iptables rule) and enabling Apache to server Zimbra on http://domain.com/zimba. I am happy to keep the Admin on 7071. Anyway, what I need to know is:
a.) What is the command to remove that single rule from iptables? I can't find it anywhere. I have adjusted zmiptables to use a different port and then ran with -i but it doesn't remove it
b.) Where is the workers.properties?(needed for mod_jk.conf)
c.) What is the worker name used by Tomcat (needed for mod_jk.conf)
I have gained a lot from using other tutorials on the forums but it does not answer these. A working mod_jk.conf would also be great!

I've posted about this before but it was somewhat generic so I would be more specific.
This started for me with M3 then continued through M4 and GA. Basically what happens is that the zimbra admin interface loads properly (minus the zimbra error when i initiall log in "Server error encountered" but i've pretty much always received since M1.
Anyways the login works ok however if i try to add a user or and alias it then brings up the box where is were to enter the address and then select the domain from drop down menu. Here is the problem, the drop down menu doesn't work. I can click on it but it only highlights the drop down.
First thought was it was browser related (Firefox OS X Tiger 10.4.6) so I went to a XP box with IE 6. That would actually give me a drop down menu but i'm only see the last 4 domains or so and i can not scroll.
I have a second zimbra machine (personal) which i use the same browsers on (Firefox OSX) and that has no problem so I believe its related to this specific machine ONLY. I figured when it initially broke it was just a problem with the install. However after later upgrades (2 to be specific) I still see the the thing is still broke. Any ideas whats busted here so I can try to fix it. I dont think this is a wide spread issue i just think its jacked install on my machine. But its somewhat a pain in the butt not being able to add clients through the interface. Luckily we wrote our own soap calls in php so we can still add users.
If anyone knows maybe something I can try to get the ajax, java, etc to work properly that would be much appreciated.

Thought this was a great broccoli soup base to "Make it your own!" I added extra rice to thicken it up, vegetable broth instead of chicken, seasoned salt and pepper. Topped it with cheddar cheese and sour cream. It was really good. Thanks!!!
Me and my husband made this and we loved it ... altho it didn't say to we had to add sea salt, fresh ground pepper and a couple of 1/2 slices of velveta cheese. other than that it was great, we made another batch 2 days later ... will def. make this again, and again and again :)

Venus Williams usually lets her tennis do the talking but this time her dress had the last word.
The second seed easily dismissed fellow veteran Patty Schnyder 6-3, 6-3 in the first round of Roland Garros. She cracked 25 winners against 21 errors, had success on 53% of her first serve deliveries but threw in 8 double faults. Not too shabby for an opening round match on clay by the former top lady baller.
She'll face either Spain's Arantxa Parra Santonja or Japan's Kurumi Nara for a spot in the third round.
Now onto the EleVen dress: it's the same "Can-Can" inspired design she debuted at the Sony Ericsson Open in March. But this version is all-black lace with red piping and def more sheer, inspiring cat calls and whistles from the Parisian crowd.
"The outfit is all about illusion," she said. "That has been a lot of my motif there year, illusion, and it's about kind of having that illusion of wearing lace and not having anything take away under it. These days I have a lot of fun with my designs."I'm a fan of this design especially after having to look at that damn Goddess dress for so long. It's flirty and fitting for Paris and she wears the hell out of it with her long lines and confident strut on the red clay courts. So she looks a bit like a showgirl for hire - they deserve love too, no?
BOOTY BONUS: For all those who may appreciate the return of her flesh colored knickers...

Lane Ranger: Traffic light covered with bag gets explained
Published: Sunday, April 21, 2013 at 10:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, April 21, 2013 at 10:30 p.m.
Richard Jolley, of Ocala, asked about changes to the traffic signal at Northeast 35th Street and Northeast 36th Avenue: "Some time ago, the turning lane portion of the traffic light was covered by a black bag, thus making it unusable. The intersection has the turning lanes marked on the pavement to use. What purpose does it serve to cover up the turning lane portion of the traffic signal when everything was working correctly with good traffic flow?"
In an email response, Marion County Traffic Engineer Bart Caimbella stated: "Thank you for sharing your concern. It was determined this signal was not close to meeting the warrant for a permitted/protected left (green ball and green arrow for left turns) according to FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) standards. For this reason we modeled the signal with both the permitted/protected lefts (green ball and left arrow) and the permitted only lefts (green ball only no left arrow-turn left when safe). We found the delay of the signal reduced dramatically when the signal was changed to permitted only. The signal goes from a level of service of C to a level of service of A during the peak time."
Brian Snyder, a Marion County transportation project manger, said a signal with a service level C means that a driver waits, on daily average, more than 20 seconds and less than 35 seconds at the light, while a service level A means a daily average wait of less than 10 seconds.
The county transportation engineering office confirmed the signal service level goes from C to A, reducing the time a driver typically spends at the intersection by about 15 seconds.
"We thoroughly analyzed crashes at this intersection and do not expect crashes to increase," Caimbella noted.
"The longer green time will result in less stops and less rear end collisions, which should offset any negative impacts due to losing the protected left turn. However, we will monitor the signals closely since this is a new traffic pattern."

Stunning. It's everything a great city map should be.
Created in: Photoshop and Inkscape
City maps are two things: Time consuming to make and very difficult to get right. You can't hide behind colours and textures with a city map...if it's not convincing it will be apparent. This city map by Zong took several years to make. The care and attention to it shows. The spare colour choices make the map more of an accomplishment....this is a beauty with a superb eye for detail: touches like the houses on the main bridge (as was known with bridges of that size in medieval times), the field distribution and shapes, the building to street ratio, the general dispersion, shape variation, block distribution and relative building size all testify to the fact that this is a stunner in the thought that has gone into it. It is very, very hard to get all of these factors right in a city map and Zong has done it.
Congratulations Zong on your award.

Awesome city map my friend
Will you be expanding on your document on how to make a fantasy city? The techniques you have are a great base but did you create buildings and then "stamp" them or did you use another technique?

|New logo, brand celebrate spirit of Colorado
|Written by Darci Tomky
|Wednesday, 06 November 2013 14:20
When Coloradans think of a symbol for the state, they might think of the recognizable state flag, with its bright blue stripes and a red "C" filled in with a yellow circle.
It's been used on T-shirts, mugs and company logos as well as on social media for fire, shooting and flood coverage.
But when it comes to creating a logo for the State of Colorado, the flag just didn't make the cut.
Colorado has unveiled a new logo and with it a new brand for the state, something which has never been done before.
"Contrary to popular belief, the state doesn't have a cohesive brand identity," said Colorado Chief Marketing Officer Aaron Kennedy in a media interview when the logo was unveiled in August. "We have a state seal, a state flag and hundreds of individual logos for state agencies. But in order to preserve and promote Colorado for generations to come, we need a unified and authentic brand."
The logo is a green triangle peak pointing up, representing Colorado's world-famous Rocky Mountains. Inside the triangle are the letters "CO" with a green "COLORADO" spelled out under the triangle.

Panama Canal preparations under full sail
The Expansion of the Panama Canal (Third Set of Locks Project) is a project, proposed by the Panama Canal Authority (ACP), that will double the capacity of the Panama Canal by 2014 by allowing more and larger ships to transit.
February 24, 2011
While moving such massive mountains of beans is a significant port services achievement, the Port of New York/New Jersey may soon be using "levitation" to solve one of its most vexing problems. Following a comprehensive review of numerous alternatives, the Port Authority announced its solution to the Bayonne Bridge clearance issue—raising the bridge's roadbed to approximately 215 feet to increase the existing 151-foot navigational clearance restriction.
The modification and rehabilitation solution is designed to fix the bridge clearance issue, which will pose a navigational problem for larger ships trying to access the Port of New York/New Jersey after the Panama Canal expands.
According to the Port Authority, the "Raise the Roadway" project will involve reconstruction of the existing approaches, ramps, and main span roadway to a higher elevation that would allow the crossing to accommodate larger ships. The alternative, as compared with others reviewed to replace the bridge, is the most cost effective, and has the fewest environmental and neighborhood impacts.
Port Authority staff is currently drilling down on engineering issues for the proposed solution, including roadway design, lane configuration, and upgrades to the existing 10-foot-wide lanes, providing median dividers and shoulders, and adding additional safety and security measures. The Port Authority reports that it will also work with its regional partners to initiate and expedite the environmental regulatory process. ?
"The bridge is critical to the circle of mobility in the region," says Bayonne Mayor Mark Smith. "It has become an obstacle to safe navigation in the port so something had to be done. The Port Authority has selected the least disruptive, least expensive and quickest option."
But will it be quick enough to stem the flow of goods being drawn to the southern rivals of Jacksonville and Savannah?
Southeast is booming
According to Jock O'Connell, Beacon Economics' international trade adviser, the nation's supply chains are being reconfigured due to a dynamic shift in workforce populations.
"Most U.S. multinationals are moving from the West and Southwest to the deep South and Gulf regions," he says. "And that means that the cargo flows are going to be directed to ports in the region with the best infrastructure and services."
Container throughput and volume figures released late last year by the Jacksonville Port Authority support this contention. According to Chris Kauffmann, who served as the port's interim executive director, the gateway moved a record number of containers in fiscal year 2010—the second consecutive year of container growth for the seaport—and marked a decade of consistent growth in earnings. "The momentum is building and we look for more positive news in the new fiscal year," he says.

POWDER SPRINGS, Ga. -- Pine Grove Baptist Church has been here 62 years, according to the building's cornerstone. The Walmart Supercenter, less than 600 feet away, is a relative newcomer.
Now the two neighbors are locked in a battle over beer and wine. Walmart can't sell it because a Cobb County ordinance disallows such sales within 600 feet of a church.
The church's influence does not extend to a convenience store which is just outside the 600 foot perimeter -- and sells wine and beer.
Now customers and churchgoers are weighing in as Walmart asks Cobb County for a waiver.
"Over and over our customers complain that they have to go across the parking lot to a gas station to buy their beer or wine," Walmart said in the waiver. "We are asking that we be able to compete fairly..."
Some Walmart customers says the separation of church and libation makes perfect sense.
Monday is frequently a day of rest in the church business, and we were unable to reach church officials.
But the church's influence inside the 600-foot perimeter will be tested on Tuesday, when Walmart's appeal goes to the Cobb County Board of Commissioners.
*Banking with Walmart?
*Council votes down Buckhead Walmart
*Walmart hiring 50,000 for holiday season
*Kittens given away in Walmart parking lot have rabies
