Is there a way to allow users to add/delete items from a shared folder but not delete the shared folder itself? For testing, I have the following. ~Shared is set read only , I then set SA "rwi" and users can add items to the folder such as copy emails into the folder but they are unable to remove emails. If I set "d" on that folder also, they can delete emails but can also delete the folder itself which is not what I want.
Maybe I'm reading the documentation wrong but "(d)elete - delete items and subfolders, set \Deleted flag" seems like it means that it would only apply to items under the shared folder but apparently it applies to the folder itself also or I'm doing something else wrong.

text: By Tim LinscottManaging Editor The Perkins County Lady Plainsmen were unable to pick up a win at the Hershey triangular on Oct. 15, but there were some improvements by the team. Against Hershey, PCS lost in two sets, 17-25, 9-25. "We served really well against Hershey," PCS head volleyball coach Penny Hite said. "Our serving was tough and settled down into our game." The team fought back in the first set to prevent Hershey from fully settling into their offense. Hite explained that in the second set a lack of team communication led to the loss. "I still believe that if they find their fight, they will be able to do great things," she said. Rebecca Johnson led the team in kills with four while Courtney Ostermiller had three kills. Elizabeth Krajewski had three blocks while Steph Schrotberger led the team in assists with six. Allison Kiolbasa was 5 for 5 on passes in the match. Against Dundy County at the same triangular, PCS lost in straight sets, 11-25, 20-25. Serving once again was a driving force for the Lady Plainsmen. "We focused well as a whole on serving," Hite said. The team was 27 of 31 in the first set and a perfect 24 for 24 in the second. "We fought back in the second set but came up just short," Hite said. "Our serve receive was much better, but we struggled at the net with hitting." Courtney McClenahan led the team in kills with seven while Krajewski had three blocks (one ace) and Johnson had five (one ace). Ostermiller had two ace serves. Schrotberger had seven assists.SPVAPCS vs Southwest On Oct. 17 PCS faced Southwest and lost in three straight sets, 10-25, 4-25, 16-25 in first round of SPVA at North Platte St. Pat's. Communication issues led to the loss. "We needed to work on our communication...we shut down early in set one and needed to find some change in our demeanor," Hite said. Making some adjustments in the third set, Hite noted the team 'did a really good job of responding' to those changes. "Our defense is working on reading our blockers and when they started to put their practice into their game, they did a good job of moving and reading the court better," Hite said. McClenahan had three kills while Kiolbasa had two. Johnson had five blocks (one ace). McClenahan had three assists and two ace serves. Alyssa Young ended the contest 4 for 4 passing.

Standing up in the crib
Standing up in the crib
posted at 9/15/2011 10:04 AM EDTHi All,
So, my DS is coming up on 9 months. We finally had him sleeping through the night about 3 weeks so. He had been getting up once a night around 3am to eat and our pedi said a night feeding shouldn't be necessary at this point, plus as a working mother I was completely exhausted and didn't know how much longer I could keep up with the routine so over 3 nights I weaned him and he started sleeping from about 8pm-6am which was amazing. Then two things happened. One, he learned to crawl about two weeks ago and two, about a week ago figured out how to stand up in his crib. So now for about a week at 3 or 4am he is crying hysterically. My husband tells me to just let him cry but I can't, and the issue is that he's standing up in his crib and I'm not sure that he knows how to lie back down. Last night I tried putting a sleep sack on him thinking he might not be able to stand up in it but he did. He seems ready to go after I go to him, smiling at me and touching my face and babbling. I try hard to ignore him and get him back to sleep but the only way I can is to nurse him, so I am afraid I am starting the cycle of him getting used to a night feeding again. What do I do here?? Any advice? I know "they" say sleep can get disrupted when milestones like crawling and standing hit. Will this pass on its own? Also, I have tried sending my DH in but DS just gets pissed and keeps on crying hysterically until I go in.
Re: Standing up in the crib
posted at 9/15/2011 10:39 AM EDTWould you put a bottle of water in his crib at night that he can find and drink if he wants to?
DD started really sleeping through the night when she started walking, it just burns up all her energy. Perhaps getting him good and worn out from crawling will help?
As for the standing in the crib, I have yet to find a solution myself at almost 13 months. Having a few items to keep her busy in the crib helps keep her quiet and lets her get herself back to sleep.
Re: Standing up in the crib
posted at 9/15/2011 10:45 AM EDTHe could be in a growth spurt and is waking up because of it. Sleep patterns do change pretty often for many reasons, and hunger needs change as growth demands on his body change.
Re: Standing up in the crib
posted at 9/15/2011 11:49 AM EDTIf you think the issue is him not being able to get down from standing I would spend a lot of time teaching him to go from standing back down to at least sitting in the crib.
Once you know he can get himself down I personallly would let him cry it out since he is 9 months - its heart breaking but it works.
Re: Standing up in the crib
posted at 9/15/2011 12:21 PM EDTtwo questions
(1) does he know how to fall on his bum in real life (e.g., not in the middle of the night)? once they learn to do that, they can easily "get down". since he is crawling he can also roll back into whatever position he wants.
(2) do you have a video monitor? if you are worried about him falling, you can see if he fell and hurt himself vs. yelling because "hey look mom I'm standing up."
We had a period of this- when they first learn to stand I think it is common. Later, when my DS started walking, we had another one where he would "Walk" around the edges of his crib.
what worked for us-
- first, in our house dad HAD TO do this because i was nursing and if i went in the room DS thought he was going to get fed, and honestly my milk would let down because he was crying so I wanted to feed. the increased crying will abate in a day or two.
- go it at the very beginning, lay him down, cover him (or whatever you do when you are putting him down) and pat him on the back or rub his belly. then leave. sometimes I don't even think they know that they are awake.
- once they know that they are awake and excited to be standing, I would lay him down and then give him a stuffed something to have in the crib to play with. you really don't want to put anything hard in there in case he does fall over and you don't want a pile of stuff for him to crawl up on. However, chances are, he will just try to stand up again. Maybe every 15-20 minutes or so. DH only did this one or two nights, and then we switched to CIO (it was reducing anyway)
- it will pass in a week or two. or change slightly. although I know it is horrible to be so sleep deprived, a friend of mine with older kids always reminds me that "if their sleep doesn't get distrupted, they aren't making huge developmental gains." It has been true for crawling, standing, walking... but is really hard to be so tired.
*if he doesn't know how to fall yet, then someone needs to help him down at night each time he gets up, but that is a really quick thing for them to learn. watch him standing at other times and if he doesn't get it, teach him. pull back on his shoulders to get him to fall on his bum.
Re: Standing up in the crib
posted at 9/15/2011 1:28 PM EDTOh, I feel for you. When DD learned to stand up in her crib, we went through about a week or two of hell before it got better. She did the exact same thing - would stand up once or twice (or more) in the middle of the night and cry for us.
We could not let her CIO because, like you, weren't confident she knew how to get herself lying down again. Here's what we did (which might not work for everyone): We would stand there and keep lying her down until she got tired and stopped standing up (it was as if her crib mattress had turned into a trampoline - the second she was lying down, *spring!!* she'd be up again). Sometimes she would stand up 30 times before giving up. We would NOT take her out of the crib. It was NOT fun. But it did end. Now if she cries at 3am (like last night) I can go in and just lie her down and she stays down.
I wish you luck in whatever method you choose!
ETA: Ditto Winter09 - Many times it had to be my DH who did the lie-the-baby-down routine. She would get too hysterical to be picked up if I did it. Also, I found I had much less patience with it than my DH.
Re: Standing up in the crib
posted at 9/15/2011 2:08 PM EDTThanks everyone! This is very helpful. I think the thing to do is probably lie him back down without taking him out of the crib. Poppy, I do think what you did would work for him. I'll just plan to start on a Friday night so I'm not sleeping at my desk the next day. Winter, I agree with having DH do it also. Hopefully I can get him on board.
He doesn't stand up anywhere other than his crib yet. I haven't seen him pull himself up on the coffee table or couch so I am thinking the bars of the crib are helping him up. So I'm sure he doesn't know how to get back down. Teaching him is also a good idea. I unfortunately do not have a video monitor. I was going to ask for one for Christmas but maybe I'll need to invest in one before then...
Re: Standing up in the crib
posted at 9/15/2011 2:32 PM EDTCrackers - I would try the Poppy method since it is sweeter and more benign then the method we would likely have to do. DD is a give her an inch she will take a mile kiddo when it comes to sleep so if we went in, you bet she would wake up every night.
That being said, we have not had this issue. I think you may be having this issue b/c your child is used to you coming in and just recently began sleeping through the night. So, I would say if the Poppy method does not work after a few days, a little CIO may be in order - painful as that is.
Once DS really learns how to sleep soundly during the night, I think this will go away. The only time DD ever stands up is when she is ready to get up in the morning. Oh, and yeah, the sleep sacks doesn't prevent this at all! :)
Re: Standing up in the crib
posted at 9/15/2011 3:09 PM EDTHa - "the Poppy method". I do have to make the disclaimer that DD absolutely wakes up at least once every night hysterically crying. She's only ever slept all the way through maybe a handful of times. We don't have a problem with this because she goes *right* back to sleep, so we're only up for 30 seconds, but I know for some families that wouldn't work.
Re: Standing up in the crib
posted at 9/15/2011 3:24 PM EDTThanks Luck. That is what I am afraid of now - starting bad habits. I just don't know how long he would stand up and cry for if he can't get back down. My biggest issue is that he seems to be wide awake and that I have to nurse him back to sleep. Crossing my fingers that just lying him down with his glow worm and leaving as many times as needed for him to fall asleep works.
Re: Standing up in the crib
posted at 9/15/2011 4:18 PM EDTBabies do what works, they eventually stop what doesn't. If you nurse him, he will continue to cry to be nursed.
Teach him how to get down by himself, go in and lay him back down (or send your DH in). Do not pick up, do not nurse.
BTW - it's a phase that passes. It won't go on forever.
Good luck. As the mother of twins who are 26 months I can say that there are lots of these "speed bumps" between blissful nights where they "sleep through". Hang in there!
Re: Standing up in the crib
posted at 9/16/2011 11:30 AM EDTi hate to say it, but i think you're past starting bad habits - or entering into one, at least. i think DS is waking up out of habit and he knows you will come nurse him if he cries. miss lily is right - he'll stop once it doesn't work anymore. it's HARD on you to show him that, i know, but it's best in the long run. definitely work on teaching him to sit. oh, and the video monitor - yup, this is why they are useful (regarding that other post!). i have 10.5 month old twins who have never woken up in the middle of the night since sleep training - not for growth spurts, not for teeth, not for crawling milestones, so i'm a big proponent of sleep training (early if possible!) - hope my post doesn't come off as "harsh." GL.
Re: Standing up in the crib
posted at 9/20/2011 2:50 PM EDTThanks misslily and stefani. I know his inability to sleep through the night has partially been my fault. We never sleep trained before 8 months because I never thought we had to. He has always fallen asleep on his own when I initially put him to bed at night so I didn't think his night wakings were a self-soothing issue. We had him down to one night feeding until 8 months which my pedi said was normal for a lot of babies. Then at 8 months I just couldn't take it anymore so we let him cry through that night waking for 3 nights which worked. It's just so hard for me to figure out if he just wants me or if he is teething, sick, having a growth spurt or what. And I fully admit that if I have to work the next day it's easier to go in there and feed him for 10 minutes than be up listening to him cry for an hour (we live in a 2 bedroom condo and I can hear him even with both bedroom doors closed). Bad, I know!
Anyway, as an update. Saturday night he was up as usual. My husband was not home so I went in, lay him down, rubbed his back and left. Let him cry for 10 or so minutes and then repeated. This went on for 1.5 hours but he did finally fall asleep without me nursing him. When I went back into my room between going to him I turned the lights on and read. I found this to be easier than lying in the dark listening to him cry for some reason. Sunday night he was up twice. My DH went in both times, lay him down and left and he was right back to sleep. Last night he was up once and I lay him down and he was asleep again. SO, I'm hoping the three night rule will apply to this situation and he won't get up tonight. We'll see.
Thanks everyone for the advice.
Re: Standing up in the crib
posted at 9/20/2011 3:01 PM EDTHooray! I know it is sooooo hard when they cry at night. Mine are 26 months and I just went through a six week stretch with DS waking at night. I'd go in and make sure he was okay, put him back down and leave. Sometimes he would cry out again and sometimes he would go back to sleep. It was really hard. And I never knew what time it would happen 11:00, 2am 5am - always different.
And finally - it stopped as suddenly as it had started.
Peace once again.
Hang in there - you're doing great!!!

Woodstock it ain't
Politics | But the anti-war protests inspired by Cindy Sheehan turned Crawford, Texas, into a war zone
CRAWFORD, Texas -- The horde swept into Crawford, Texas, like locusts, taking all the parking spots on the town's small drag, overwhelming the lone traffic light, and marauding the town's Fina station, causing it to run out of gasoline-not to mention batteries, disposable cameras, film, and cherry-flavored Halls. "We're not made for this," said 19-year-old Matt Arrington of nearby Valley Mills, who had the afternoon shift at the Fina station. "I've seen so many people-tourists, I guess. Germany, Tokyo, Amsterdam. Now I'm getting tired of everyone asking the question, 'Where is Bush's house?'"
Crawford has never seen such a circus. First it was the wave of anti-war protesters who rallied to support Cindy Sheehan, the bereaved mother of Casey Sheehan, a soldier killed in Iraq. Mrs. Sheehan demanded a meeting with President George W. Bush and encamped near his Crawford ranch house from Aug. 6, leaving abruptly to be with her ill mother, then returning Aug. 24 to a hero's welcome. Then it was the Bush supporters who rallied to the town to back Mr. Bush, the war effort, and the troops. If the dry pumps at the Fina station are any indication, Crawford isn't big enough for two protest movements.
On Aug. 21, while the president was busy hosting Tour de France champion and fellow Texan Lance Armstrong on a 17-mile mountain-biking ride around the ranch, Mrs. Sheehan was in California. This left the anti-war protesters in a lurch. Without "Mother Sheehan" (as one left-wing website had insisted on calling her), the protest lacked a face. Instead of protesting Mr. Bush for not meeting again with Mrs. Sheehan-they had already met once before-it was just another anti-war protest.
Many of the protesters were in Crawford through organized rallies set up by MoveOn.org. Others showed up at the behest of the struggling liberal radio network Air America, which sought to turn Crawford into another Woodstock. Had they considered the heat? In a town of full-size pickup trucks and south-facing satellite dishes, anti-war protesters parked their sedans and hybrids in the gullies and ditches alongside Prairie Chapel Road and Morgan Road near the Bush ranch. Nearly 150 slept overnight in cars and tents. Hundreds more drove in for the day from air-conditioned motels in nearby Waco and even Dallas and Austin. Some estimates say the number of protesters were three times the size of the town's 700-person population.
While both the president and Mrs. Sheehan commuted in and out of Crawford, conservatives mounted a counter-protest. About 350 Harley-Davidson bikers-for-Bush rumbled past one of the Camp Casey protest sites before setting up their own camp. Other conservatives, armed with signs and lawn chairs, opened up small counter-protest sites across the road from the anti-war crowd. In town, Gary Qualls, father of Marine Lance Cpl. Louis Wayne Qualls who was slain last year in Fallujah, devised his own response. The Temple, Texas, man opened Fort Qualls under a tent next door to the Yellow Rose, a pro-Bush gift shop decorated by a massive replica of the Ten Commandments.
Eventually the protesters protested each other. Early Saturday morning, an emissary from Fort Qualls approached the Crawford Peace House, a liberal staging ground, and asked for civil three-on-three talks to discuss the war and specific complaints. Dirk Velten of Dallas helped organize three anti-war protesters to meet with Mr. Qualls and two other conservatives. Many others crowded around. "I see my role here as a compassionate air traffic controller," said Mr. Velten, a professional mediator.
The talks even showed signs of progress-Mr. Velten said he would work to remove a cross bearing Mr. Qualls' son's name from Camp Casey. The conversation continued even over the sounds of "Anchors Aweigh" blasting from loudspeakers at the Yellow Rose. A train hauling tanks through town on the nearby track gave pro-Bush supporters reason to cheer.
One onlooker, who identified himself as "Joe America" and told WORLD he intended to welcome all out-of-state liberals, nearly scuttled the talks. The man, later identified in a police report as Michael Dean Mullins of Bedford, Texas, tossed an unwrapped but unused tampon into the crowd, hitting a female anti-war protester. Mr. Mullins said he had spent much of the day handing the tampons out to anti-war protesters who, he said, "needed them." Police stopped his car on the way out of town and charged him with Class C misdemeanor assault.
Undeterred by the chaos surrounding him and choking back tears, Mr. Qualls made a plea to the Bush detractors. "We've got to quit our bickering," he said. "We've got to honor our sons even though it hurts. And it will hurt until the day I die."
But the bickering promises to continue. Even as Mr. Qualls pleaded for civility, a van full of Bush supporters bankrolled by Move America Forward embarked for Crawford from San Francisco on a "You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy" tour. The group of conservatives, including mothers and fathers of Iraq war soldiers, has already clashed with anti-war activists in California who tried to shout them down.
"There's something big going on here," said Mr. Velten, who admitted folks like "Joe America" and left-wing troublemakers were hijacking both sides' messages. "Sadly, we're often identified by the worst of our groups."

Love it! Especially your solution for getting linear features out of "river".
I made this map more because I needed to get the idea out of my head but I started it and I liked it. I had the idea to make a map out of actual Japanese kanji.
Every icon is the kanji symbol for what it is representing. The mountains are the kanji for mountain the hills are kanji for hills etc. The landmass is based off of the kanji for island, even the way the other kanji icons are placed they outline the island kanji.
The only kanji that I really had to mess with was the kanji for river, but I think it turned out okay.
I still need to label everything and I might do a few more things.
Love it! Especially your solution for getting linear features out of "river".
Oh this is simply beautiful!
And I was surprised that I could tell what (almost) everything was without checking the key!
I didn't get the "rivers" at first but when I did I giggled.
I can't wait to see how it turns out!
An interesting idea. Since kanji is based on recognizable iconography, it really does have the appearance of a map symbol.

Thanks for all the encouraging replies!
The biggest thing I was worried about was the river. Though it's still the kanji symbol for river, but because it's sideways it looks more like the kanji symbol for the number three. I think I might name the rivers something like kawasan: san meaning three, kawa meaning river.
It works though... with the 3 lines, it looks like 3 rivers... so either 3 or river would work
The only issue I had, honestly, is that the river is so much lighter that it's difficult to assimilate.
I don't think it matters if you change the name, but saying "shown sideways" in the key might throw off the feel of the thing a bit, so maybe kawasan is a good compromise.... just make sure that doesn't already mean something else
Either way, it's still a beautiful concept, and a beautiful map
In a word, it is beautiful. It is simple; however, it is elegant. I like your solution for river. Again simple; however, it is elegant. The color choice works very well. I have used kanji for directional labeling (north, south, etc.) but this works well. Really well.
Thank you for sharing. It has given me some ideas for an ancient map.
The compass looks good though a bit big regarding the map size. Also you should avoid warp effect on labels that create bad font distorsion and which isn't really pleasant to read at and prefer using path tool to create curved labels.
I can't seem to figure out how to do that with the path tool… :\ I don't know what I'm doing wrong and I got a bit frustrated with it.

Strategy Execution using Scorecards: What's In It For Me???
Tim O'Bryan 270001NMX7 email@example.com | | Tags:  strategyexecution businessanalytics | 0 Comments | 612 Visits
Exercise daily. Star in your own sitcom. Visit the Great Pyramids. Run a marathon. Go hand-gliding. Drive the Pacific Coast Highway. Climb K2. Attend the Winter Olym
Goals. They can be our rudder out in the high seas of life that give us purpose and direction.
For the ones that don't ever get accomplished the reasons vary but for a lot of us the reason for the missed goal is as simple as, "life just gets in the way". We get distracted with other tasks that seemed more pressing - and even more interesting.
One of the perennial goal making exercises we all go through is the New Year's resolution...Do you even recall what your New Year's resolution was this year??? Notice I said was and not is. That was intentional. :) So many things come up over time that these things just get buried until we finally forget them completely. Harmless usually. They're usually fun things we'd like to start or stop doing.
All well and good if these are personal goals but what about your work-related goals? Suddenly, it is much more important that they get accomplished. That's for certain. Even more importantly, how are these work-related goals measured so you and others can track your progress? (Are they even meas
In a time where companies and 'the Street' are so margin conscious in expecting more to be accomplished with less resources, purposeful action by the workforce has never been more important. Ensuring a productive workforce operating efficiently is critical to survive and succeed in today's marketplace.
I've seen many organizations successfully and unsuccessfully deploy this Strategy Execution business practice. When done right, a Strategy Execution Framework can do many performance enhancing things to improve a company's bottom line. This Framework has a foundation built around using a collaboratively defined set of KPIs for each individual employee. In this framework, these KPIs as displayed in a scorecard tool are collectively 'networked' and aligned to the rest of the workforce's scorecards which can all be aggregated together showing a direct causal tie to the company's top-line goals.
Said differently, whatever the top-line strategy is, the contributing components, i.e. sales, marketing, services, finance, product development, etc. including the individuals within those contributing components, have a common framework in place to ensure the organization is marching along to the beat of the same drummer and not playing their own songs as they see fit. Without this framework the company loses valuable horsepower through reduced productivity because the workforce isn't aligned and fully accountable for meeting enterprise strategy-supporting targets. As a result, you'll have employees doing what they think are the right things without any accountability and inherent strategy alignment. Worse, what happens as the enterprise strategy changes? How quickly is your organization able to realign itself to course-correct the direction of the ship so it's headed towards the new target??? What are the consequences if your competitors are adjusting more quickly to these changes?
Well, hopefully the reasons for getting started on this initiative are clear. Still, it's surprising that there are not many companies responding to the need for greater accountability, sharper alignment, and more nimble adaptability of its most important resource, its workforce.
So, what are some tips for getting started with this initiative? Well, there are some clear must-haves when starting a project like this including getting C-level executive spon
Perhaps if we all implemented more personal scorecards for accomplishing our New Year's resolutions we might have a higher success rate at that too but that's for another time.

True grit
Compassion | Churches, businesses, and homeowners face loss from Sandy and dig in
"True grit" Continued...
NEW YORK and NEW JERSEY—The normally peppy jockeys on a top-40 radio station on the Jersey Shore couldn't stop talking about Superstorm Sandy between songs. They had to tell themselves, again, that the famous boardwalk was gone. They had to tell themselves, again, that friends' homes were gone. "You literally wonder where the next meal is coming from," one said to her co‑host on 94.3 FM, lamenting that she had recently fed her children crackers. The co‑host sympathized and pointed listeners to places for relief, for hot meals. Then they turned the hits back on.
Two weeks after the storm hit, Sandy is all people can think about or talk about here, even on pop radio. Houses were filled with soaked insulation and mildew had started to grow on wet sheetrock. The Silverton Diner in Toms River, N.J., was one of the few places open in the few miles near the ocean, and everyone eating there was talking about adjusters, insurance claims, lack of insurance, and stories they'd heard from neighbors. "You can only think about it so much," said Natalie Zozzaro, whose house sits on one of New Jersey's barrier islands, where the hurricane gave its hardest punch. She's only been able to visit her home once since the storm for a few hours because the National Guard has sealed the islands off. "Every time you turn around, it's like, 'What did you lose?'"
The storm's vast span is what you feel driving around the Northeast. It swamped New York's financial district, decimated the Jersey Shore, and scoured Long Island. At 950 miles wide, Sandy was bigger than Hurricane Katrina (though not as strong), and one of the biggest storms to hit the Northeast, ever, even though it by that time technically had been downgraded from hurricane status. The storm knocked out nine gasoline terminals—the suppliers to gas stations—out of 57 in the New York metropolitan area. The outages forced gas rationing in New York and New Jersey that continued two weeks after the storm. A nor'easter that dumped snow on the flooded region about a week later compounded widespread power outages. And Sandy's death toll in the United States now stands at 113, with 43 killed in New York City.
The storm was big, but small people, businesses, and churches met its destruction with teeth gritted. For one extended family in Toms River, N.J., the storm flooded five of their homes. One flooded church in Staten Island became its neighborhood's own emergency management agency. One tugboat worker who lost everything in his Brooklyn apartment is now living on a tugboat. One Hoboken woman lost everything in her food pantry, but experienced a miracle.
Red Hook, Brooklyn
Chris DeCamps, 30, works for his family's tugboat and barge business in Brooklyn and lives near the water. He's at home on the sea, but on Oct. 29 the sea came into his home. About four feet of water swamped his apartment in Red Hook, destroying most of his possessions. He had evacuated before the storm, and when he came home afterward, he said it looked like someone had ransacked his house. The water had lifted everything and then upturned furniture as the storm surge went back out.
"It was like the tide coming in and wiping out a sand castle then going out," DeCamps said.
The surge also filled the family business warehouse, ruining its inventory of spare engine parts, shackles, and other boat supplies. DeCamps said no hurricane has ever flooded the warehouse in any of the employees' memories. "Our shoreside operation in New York, it was a setback," he said.
DeCamps' apartment won't be inhabitable for at least a month, so for now he is "staying at work," which turns out to be a bunk on a tugboat. Friends have offered him places to stay, but, "The boats are right here," he said. "I'm familiar with living on them." The mariners on the tugboats not only gave him a bunk but also have been helping him do laundry and clean out his apartment.
"What I lost was just my possessions," said DeCamps. "I didn't have a lifetime worth of things. In some ways it's a blessing to be forced to live a simpler life."
Midland Beach, Staten Island
Midland Beach, a blue-collar neighborhood on Staten Island, was one of the hardest hit areas in one of the hardest hit boroughs of New York City. Twenty people died on Staten Island in the storm. A week after the storm, people were still pumping water out of their homes, rescuers discovered another drowned body, and a snowy nor'easter was bearing down. Block after block was lined with piles of ripped out home interiors, like an apocalyptic yard sale. One woman stood on the sidewalk with her hand over her mouth watching as sanitation department workers loaded all of the insides of her house into a trash truck. Those trucks, rumbling up and down the streets, went to a newly created landfill on the island that rose several stories tall—all debris from destroyed homes.
In the middle of the Midland Beach neighborhood, Oasis Christian Center, a church roughly the size of a bungalow, buzzed. The storm wiped out the church's Sunday school classrooms and youth pastor's office, but once the members cleaned those rooms out, the church opened for business. Several Staten Island pastors, though not officially connected, formed a coalition and divided the neighborhood by blocks, giving each church a set of blocks, with Oasis as the nerve center. "We may not agree perfectly doctrinally, but those relationships are there," said Dave Watson, a pastor from the northern part of the island who is friends with Oasis pastor Tim McIntyre.
The power-less neighborhood would grow dark around 4 p.m., with the end of daylight saving time, but the church served hot meals and had generators running. The Mennonite Disaster Service set up a camper in the yard by the church and began funneling its supplies through the church. National Guardsmen hauled debris with their hands. Teenagers from the public high school across the street came to help. A pastor from Pennsylvania had hauled in $750 of gas for generators, a rare commodity. Eventually church members had to spray-paint a sign on the front of their building saying, "NO MORE DONATIONS."
Hoboken, N.J.
April Harris for the last 30 years has run a food pantry, In Jesus' Name, in Hoboken, N.J. But when people needed a food pantry the most, Sandy destroyed Harris' entire inventory. People who had food stamps couldn't use their EBT cards because power was out, so this was the moment for In Jesus' Name to step in. But Sandy filled the pantry with 5 feet of water, even though the pantry is eight blocks from the water and has never flooded more than a few inches.
Five days after the storm, Harris splashed through the wreckage of the pantry, the sludgy water mostly pumped out. She handed me a cardboard box, wet from the flood. This box, she said, is a miracle. Everything was destroyed but this, the most critical item to her post-storm operations: a box full of cards with the names and addresses of the 500 families that regularly come to the pantry. The bottom of the box was soaked, but the cards were stacked in order in the box, and dry. She assumed it floated on the surging waters, but it didn't make sense that it survived when her other files in the same spot were ruined. The water tossed her refrigerator onto its side—but not the box full of cards. With the box, she knows all the families to check on, and to prepare food for. The people who didn't have food before the storm would be even more vulnerable afterward, she knew.
But where to find food? More miracles showed up: World Vision had canvassed the neighborhood and learned of her need, and began dropping off boxes of food. Families from some of the 12 churches Harris partners with, as well as middle-schoolers from a local Christian school in the same building, Mustard Seed, were helping her set up a temporary pantry. She had a day of hungry people to get through, but she could see her work stretching for many more days. "The city's been doing a great job, but what about the poor after?" she said. "After the big relief effort, the impact is going to go on."
Toms River, N.J.
Dozens of relief volunteers with Samaritan's Purse were sleeping at the Church of Grace and Peace, in Toms River, N.J., and woke up to no power and 8 inches of snow from the nor'easter on Nov. 8. They made a hot breakfast on their gas stove, dug their trucks and equipment out of the snow in the parking lot, then schlepped out to chainsaw fallen trees and tear wet sheetrock and insulation out of houses under snow. Brent Graybeal, the program director on site for Samaritan's Purse, called his wife back in North Carolina and asked what she thought about having Thanksgiving in New Jersey.
A few miles from the church, police checkpoints guarded the Silverton neighborhood closer to the water, so only residents and relief workers could enter the ruined area. For days after the storm, the neighborhood was so flooded that even military trucks got stuck, so no one was allowed in. Now the residents were returning to see how bad the destruction was.
Jane Geoghehan, 73, is a nurse and a paramedic who lives in the neighborhood. Immediately after the storm, she stepped up to do emergency response, even though her knee replacement was bothering her. She and other paramedics took care of the people the military was rescuing from flooded homes. Meanwhile, everything in her house that she has lived in since 1960 was washing away. Geoghehan's home never flooded more than a few splashes in the 50 years she had lived there.
Geoghehan's five children almost all live within a few miles, and their homes flooded too, but not as badly as hers. The Geoghehans are a family of first responders: Her children work for the police and fire departments and were also working through the storm in 12-hour shifts. "We're used to being the ones helping, not the ones asking for help," said Kevin Geoghehan, Jane's son who works for the local police department and is a paramedic. He joined first responders down south in 2005 to help during Hurricane Katrina. The smells of Sandy brought Katrina rushing back to him: seawater mixed with sheetrock and everything else.
Jane Geoghehan was a tough paramedic as she stood in her wrecked kitchen and watched Samaritan's Purse volunteers rip carpet, floorboards, sheetrock, and cabinets out of her house of 50 years. She offered to drive the workers back and forth to bathrooms whenever necessary. "I told my kids, 'Now you don't have to clean out my house when I die,'" she said. But she paused for a second after mentioning that she lost her wedding pictures. Her husband died in 2006. "It's horrible, but you can't do anything about it. … I can't afford to move. I'll replace what I can. I'm lucky I have very close family." Another one of her sons came in to check on his mom and then asked a Samaritan's Purse supervisor about bringing a team to rip out flooded insulation at his house.
"I don't know why it happened," said Graybeal, the Samaritan's Purse site director. "But every community I go to, I see God's people rise up. … It's not about rejection. It's about restoration. That's what we see."

Like most expectant parents, you probably alternate between fantasies about a healthy baby and worries that your baby will have a health problem. Or perhaps you've been told through prenatal screening that your baby might be born with a birth defect.
Many parents assume that all birth defects are severe or even fatal, but the fact is that many are treatable, often immediately after birth — and sometimes even before the baby is born.
It's especially important to know the risk factors involved and how to prevent birth defects. However, it's also important to realize that most babies born with congenital defects are born to two healthy parents.
Birth defects are defined as abnormalities of structure, function, or body metabolism that are present at birth. Major birth defects are abnormalities that lead to developmental or physical disabilities or require medical or surgical treatment. There are more than 4,000 different known birth defects, ranging from minor to serious, and although many can be treated or cured, they're the leading cause of death in the first year of life.
According to the March of Dimes, about 150,000 babies are born with birth defects each year in the United States. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) says that 3 out of every 100 babies born in the United States have some kind of major birth defect.
Birth defects can be caused by genetic, environmental, or unknown factors. For most birth defects, the cause is believed to be an interaction of a number of genetic and environmental factors.
Structural or metabolic defects are those in which a specific body part is missing or formed incorrectly; metabolic birth defects are those in which there is an inborn problem in body chemistry. The most common type of major structural defects are heart defects, which affect 1 in 150 babies in the United States.
Other common structural defects include spina bifida, cleft palate, clubfoot, and congenital dislocated hip.
Metabolic defects affect 1 in 3,500 babies and usually involve a missing or incorrectly formed enzyme (a protein necessary for processing chemical substances in the body). Most children with a metabolic birth defect do not have any visible abnormalities, but metabolic defects are usually harmful or can be even fatal. Metabolic defects include Tay-Sachs disease, a fatal disease that affects the central nervous system, and phenylketonuria (PKU), which affects the way the body processes protein.
Defects caused by congenital infections result when a mother gets an infection before or during the pregnancy. Infections that can cause birth defects include rubella (German measles), cytomegalovirus (CMV), syphilis, toxoplasmosis, Venezuelan equine encephalitis, parvovirus, and, rarely, chickenpox. None of these affect 100% of babies whose mothers are infected during pregnancy. If the mother is infected during early pregnancy, rubella carries the highest risk for birth defects (approximately 20%). Because of nearly universal immunization in the United States, rubella is very, very rare and the congenital rubella syndrome is almost never seen. CMV is probably the most common congenital infection and may be associated with intellectual disability (mental retardation) and hearing loss.
Other causes of birth defects include alcohol abuse by the mother. Although a few medications, such as medicines used for epilepsy, are associated with increased risks for certain birth defects, most commonly prescribed drugs are not associated with a significant risk of birth defects.
Most babies with birth defects are born to two parents with no obvious health problems or risk factors. A woman can do everything her doctor recommends to deliver a healthy child and still have a baby with a birth defect.
In fact, according to the March of Dimes, about 60% of birth defects have unknown causes. The rest are caused by environmental or genetic factors, or some combination of the two.
Genetics play a role in some birth defects. Every cell in the body has chromosomes containing genes that go a long way in determining a person's unique characteristics. One missing or faulty gene can cause a birth defect; this is significant when you consider that we each have about 25,000 genes per cell determining everything from the length of our toes to the color of our eyes.
Where do the faulty genes come from? A child inherits one of each pair of chromosomes (and one of each pair of the genes they contain) from each parent. Sometimes, a disease or defect can occur if only one parent passes along the gene for that disease (even though the child receives a normal gene from the other parent); this is called dominant inheritance and includes birth defects such as achondroplasia (a form of dwarfism) and Marfan syndrome (a disorder characterized by abnormally long fingers, arms, and legs).
Some birth defects occur only when two healthy parents each pass along a faulty gene for the same disease to the child; this is called recessive inheritance and includes conditions such as Tay-Sachs disease or cystic fibrosis.
Finally, some boys inherit disorders from genes passed on to them by their mothers. These defects, which include conditions such as hemophilia and color-blindness, are called X-linked because the genes are carried on the X chromosome. Because males have only the one X chromosome they receive from their mothers (females have two X chromosomes — one from each parent), a faulty gene on the X chromosome they receive will be more likely to cause a problem because they don't have a normal copy of the gene on the other X chromosome that females have. Females who have an altered gene on one X chromosome and an intact on the other may have mild features of the X linked condition.
The number or structure of chromosomes also can cause birth defects. An error during the formation of an egg or sperm can cause a baby to be born with too few or too many chromosomes, or with a damaged chromosome. Birth defects caused by chromosome problems include Down syndrome. The risk of this type of birth defect often increases with the age of the mother.
Environmental causes of birth defects have more to do with the mother's health and exposure to chemicals or diseases. When a mother has certain infections (such as rubella) during pregnancy, it can cause birth defects. Alcohol abuse by the mother causes fetal alcohol syndrome, and certain medications taken by the mother can cause birth defects.
Multifactorial birth defects are caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors and include congenital heart defects, neural tube defects, and cleft lip and palate.
Although you can take steps to prevent birth defects, a birth defect can happen even if you or your partner have no history of birth defects in your families or if you've had healthy children in the past.
Cleft lip and/or palate occurs when the tissues of the mouth or lip don't form properly during fetal development. A cleft lip is a long opening between the upper lip and the nose. A cleft palate is an opening between the roof of the mouth and the nasal cavity.
In the United States, oral clefting occurs in 1 in 700 to 1,000 births, making it one of the most common major birth defects. Clefts occur more frequently in children of Asian, Latino, or Native American descent; it's believed that a variety of environmental and genetic factors cause clefting, but it's unknown exactly which ones. Clefting is a birth defect that can be surgically repaired after birth.
Cerebral palsy usually isn't detected until weeks to months after birth, depending on the severity of the condition. The term actually refers to a group of conditions affecting control of movement and caused by brain damage. People with cerebral palsy have difficulty controlling the motions their muscles make — which muscles and how severely they are impaired varies from person to person.
About 70% of people with cerebral palsy also have other disabilities, most often intellectual disability (mental retardation). Some children with cerebral palsy may have trouble walking; others may not be able to swallow or speak. Cerebral palsy occurs in 2 to 6 of every 1,000 births; about 10,000 children born in the United States each year develop cerebral palsy.
In most cases, the cause of cerebral palsy isn't known, but some are due to prematurity or brain damage during the last trimester of pregnancy or around the time of birth.
Cerebral palsy can also have a genetic cause or may be due to head injuries or meningitis that occur after birth. Therefore, not all cerebral palsy is considered a birth defect. Therapy to improve motor skills, surgery, and braces and other types of equipment and assistive technology can help improve mobility and muscle control. Speech therapy and occupational therapy can help as well.
Clubfoot is a term used to describe a group of structural defects of the foot and ankle in which the bones, joints, muscles, and blood vessels are formed incorrectly. These defects range from mild to severe and may affect one or both feet. Feet affected by this defect most often point down, turn in, and usually have a limited range of motion.
This is a relatively common birth defect, affecting about 1 in 735 babies born each year in the United States. Boys are affected almost twice as often as girls. The cause is unknown, but it can be treated by applying a cast immediately after birth. This works the majority of the time; if it doesn't, surgery and further casting are usually required.
Congenital hip dislocation occurs when the round upper end of the thighbone doesn't sit inside the socket of the pelvis properly. This can happen in one or both hips. It happens in about 1 or 2 in 1,000 births, more often in girls, and tends to run in families, although the exact cause is unknown. Usually it is detected at birth and treated immediately by placing the baby in a soft sling for 6 to 9 months. If it's not recognized and treated early, surgery may be necessary.
Congenital hypothyroidism, which occurs in about 1 in 3,000 to 4,000 births, results when the baby's thyroid gland (located in the front of the neck) is absent or underdeveloped at birth or if there is a metabolic defect blocking production of thyroid hormone. This causes the infant to be unable to produce adequate amounts of thyroid hormone, which is important for supporting normal growth and brain development.
Developmental delay and permanent intellectual disability can result if the condition is not recognized and treated (with oral thyroid hormone) within the first few weeks of life. Because of this, every state in the United States and most other countries routinely screen all newborns for the condition with a blood test performed shortly after birth.
Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is characterized by slowed growth, mental retardation, abnormalities in facial features, and problems with the central nervous system. Every year between 2,000 and 12,000 babies in the United States are estimated to be born with defects caused by alcohol. FAS cannot be cured or treated, but can be prevented by avoiding alcohol intake during pregnancy.
Neural tube defects (NTDs) occur in the first month of pregnancy when the structure that develops into the brain and spinal cord is forming. Normally, this structure folds into a tube by the 29th day after conception. When the tube doesn't close completely, the baby has an NTD; many babies with these defects are stillborn or die soon after birth.
The two most common forms of NTDs are:
NTDs are multifactorial defects, which according to the March of Dimes occur in about 2,500 babies a year in the United States, or 1 out of every 2,000 live births. Studies have shown that the frequency of these defects may be substantially reduced when the mother gets enough folic acid before and during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester.
Women must make sure to receive enough folic acid before they become pregnant because the neural tube closes about 1 week after the first missed menstrual period — so mothers cannot wait to start folic acid when they first realize they're pregnant. For this reason, it is recommended that women take folic acid throughout their reproductive years.
Heart defects occur when any of the parts of the heart fail to develop properly. They include:
These are among the most common defects, occurring in as many as 1 in 150 births. The specific cause of most heart defects isn't known, although multiple factors may alter the development of the heart during the first 8 to 9 weeks of fetal growth.
Exposure to certain medications (such as the antiseizure drug phenytoin, thalidomide, and chemotherapy drugs) during the first trimester of pregnancy may play a role in causing heart defects. Other causes include maternal alcohol abuse, rubella (German measles) infection, and diabetes during pregnancy.
Gastrointestinal defects are structural defects that can occur at any point along the gastrointestinal tract, which is made up of the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, rectum, and anus. The incomplete or abnormal development of any of these organs can cause obstructions or blockages that can lead to swallowing difficulties, vomiting, and problems with bowel movements.
Some of these defects are:
The frequencies of these disorders vary, ranging from 1 in 32,000 births to 1 in 10,000 births. Genetics play some role in all these defects, but it is unclear exactly what role or to what degree. Early detection and treatment of these defects is important, as they can lead to serious health problems and even death if left untreated. Surgery is usually necessary to repair these defects.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a disease mainly affecting the respiratory and digestive systems. An inability to carry chloride (one of the chemicals in table and body salts) from the cells that line organs such as the lungs and pancreas to their outer surfaces causes the body to produce a thick, sticky mucus. Children with CF can have trouble breathing and digesting food; symptoms include chronic respiratory problems and pneumonia, bulky stools, and poor weight gain.
This defect is genetic — 1 in 4 children with two parents who carry an altered form of the gene for CF will get the disease; about 1 in 30 people in the United States carries an altered form of this gene. It affects approximately 30,000 people in the United States, most of them Caucasians. Treatment includes therapy to control infections and maintain lung function and adequate nutrition.
Down syndrome is a group of abnormalities that occur in children who are born with an extra (third) copy of chromosome number 21 in their cells. Children with the syndrome have intellectual disability (mental retardation) and distinctive facial and other physical features; these problems are often accompanied by heart defects and other health problems.
The severity of symptoms varies widely from person to person, with the degree of delay ranging from mild to moderate to severe. Down syndrome is a relatively common birth defect, affecting between 1 in 800 and 1 in 1,000 births. The chances of having a baby with Down syndrome increase dramatically with the age of the mother; a woman who's 35 has a 1 in 350 chance of having a baby with Down syndrome, and a woman who's 45 has a 1 in 30 chance.
Although some of the health problems caused by Down syndrome (such as heart defects) may be treated through medication and surgery, there is no cure.
Fragile X syndrome is characterized by mental impairment, ranging from learning disabilities to mental retardation, autistic behaviors, and attentional problems and hyperactivity. Physical characteristics of children with Fragile X include a long face, large ears, flat feet, and extremely flexible joints, especially fingers.
Boys are affected more often than girls, and are more likely to have substantial intellectual disability rather than milder learning impairment. Both boys and girls are likely to have emotional and behavioral problems. Recent studies suggest that Fragile X affects about 1 in 2,000 males and 1 in 4,000 females of all races and ethnic groups.
Fragile X is a genetic disorder that's passed on by men who carry the abnormality to all of their daughters but none of their sons.
The inheritance of Fragile X syndrome is complex and families with an affected individual need careful counseling from a well-informed doctor or genetic counselor. However, a woman with an affected son has about a 50% chance for each subsequent son to also be affected. Fragile X must be passed through generations in a family before a child is affected. There is no cure for Fragile X, although researchers are exploring ways to prevent it and deal with the complications.
Muscular dystrophy is a general term that's used to describe more than 40 different types of muscle diseases, all of which involve progressive weakness and degeneration of the muscles that control movement. Heart muscles and some other involuntary muscles are also affected in some forms of muscular dystrophy, and a few forms involve other organs as well. Almost all forms of the disorder are genetic and cannot be cured. Treatment includes physical and respiratory therapy, the use of assistive technology, and medications.
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a metabolic disorder that affects the way the body processes protein; it can cause intellectual disability (mental retardation). A baby born with PKU appears normal, but if the disease isn't treated, the child will suffer from developmental delays that are apparent by the first birthday. About 1 baby in 10,000 to 25,000 in the United States is born with PKU.
This is a genetic disorder. If both parents carry an altered form of the gene, there's a 1 in 4 chance a child will be born with the disorder. In other words, a child will inherit two copies of the altered gene. Fortunately, it is usually detected within a few days after birth by a screening blood test that is routinely performed on infants in the United States and other developed countries. If the child is promptly treated with a special diet, intellectual disability can be prevented.
Sickle cell disease is a disorder of the red blood cells in which an abnormal shape of the cells results in chronic anemia (low blood count), periodic episodes of pain, and other health problems. The disease is genetic; if both parents carry the altered form of the gene, their child has a 1 in 4 chance of having it. In the United States, sickle cell anemia affects mostly African Americans and some Latinos. The disease occurs in about 1 in every 500 African-American births and 1 in every 1,000 to 1,400 Latino-American births.
Treatment for sickle cell disease may include taking antibiotics to prevent infection, blood transfusions, and bone marrow transplantation. Parents can be tested to see if they're carriers of the gene; most U.S. states now routinely perform a screening blood test for the disease on newborns.
Tay-Sachs disease affects the central nervous system, causing blindness, dementia, paralysis, seizures, and deafness; it's usually fatal within the first few years of life. Babies with this disease appear normal when they are born; the symptoms develop during the first few months of life.
It is genetic and occurs most often in Jews of central or eastern European descent or in people of French-Canadian/Cajun ancestry; when two parents are carriers, a child has a 1 in 4 chance of having it. Although there isn't any treatment for this disease, there's a test to help parents determine if they are carriers of the gene.
Infections during pregnancy can cause a variety of birth defects. Examples include:
Talk to your health care provider about ways to avoid these infections while you're pregnant and what you should do if you're exposed to any of them.
Routine prenatal screening — which includes compiling a thorough medical history, ultrasound testing, and certain blood tests — can do two important things:
Defects that may be detected through prenatal screening include:
It's important to remember that screening identifies only the possibility that a baby has a defect. It's possible to give birth to a healthy baby after a screening test shows that a defect may be present. You aren't required to have any prenatal screening; talk to your doctor about any tests he or she thinks you should have.
Your baby will be tested after birth (with your permission) to screen for certain birth defects that require treatment soon after birth. Exactly what your baby will be tested for varies from state to state (you can ask your health care provider or the hospital nursery which tests your state performs routinely), although all states screen for PKU, congenital hypothyroidism, and about 40 other conditions identified using a technology called tandem mass spectroscopy.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recommends that all African-American babies be tested for sickle cell disease; almost all states currently do so.
Other disorders that your state may test newborns for include:
If you have a concern about another specific birth defect, you may be able to have your baby tested for it. Talk to your health care provider about this before the baby is born.
Many birth defects can't be prevented; however, you can take some precautions before and during pregnancy:
Before you get pregnant. Women who are planning to become pregnant should make sure their vaccinations are up to date, that they don't have any sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and that they get the daily recommended dose of folic acid. One way to ensure this is to start taking prenatal vitamins several months before you begin trying to conceive.
It's generally best to avoid unnecessary medications during pregnancy, so make sure you talk to your doctor about any and all over-the-counter and prescription medicines you're taking before you get pregnant; you'll want to stop taking any that aren't vital to your health. Don't do this without talking to your doctor, however.
If you or your partner have a history of any kind of birth defects in your family, if you've already had a child with a birth defect, or if you are part of a high-risk group (because of your age, ethnic background, or medical history), consider consulting a genetic counselor before you get pregnant. More is being learned about the genes and other factors involved in birth defects all the time and genetic testing and screening are becoming increasingly useful aspects of pre-pregnancy planning and pregnancy. A genetic counselor can give you advice about prenatal testing and help you deal with any concerns or fears you might have.
While you're pregnant. The best thing that pregnant women can do to increase their likelihood of having a healthy baby is to make sure they take care of their bodies during pregnancy by:
Talk to your health care provider about other precautions you can take to protect the health of your baby — don't be afraid to ask questions if you're concerned.

Oracle: Beyond Benchmarksmanship -- SPARC T3-1 takes JD Edwards "Day In the Life" benchmark lead, beats IBM Power7 by 25%.
This one is for the books! It appears Sun has passed the "report obscure benchmark you do well on tradition" to Oracle. Sun used to report success with the Manugistics NetWORKS Fulfillment Benchmark. Good luck finding the latest results for that "industry standard" benchmark.
While the JD Edwards "Day In the Life" is an active benchmark, it certainly is not in the category of industry standard, such as the SPEC suits or TPC-C. It is so obscure that Oracle didn't bother to provide a direct reference in their announcement for the reader to make sense of the results. A googling of "JD Edwards "Day In the Life" benchmark" produced an IBM white paper that provided the following reference in Appendix B:
Minimum Technical Requirements (MTRs) for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne are hosted on the MyOracle Web site: https://support.oracle.com/
- Log in to Oracle's Partner Connection with your userid and password:
- After signing in, click on More, then click on Certifications
- Double click on JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Certifications
- Double click on the Note Link for MTRs, such as Note:745831.1
- Then scroll down to the MTR needed and double click it
We are not going to register as an Oracle Partner to analyze Oracle's claims. We need only view what Oracle has published in its announcement to examine their claim. Oracle claims:
- The SPARC T3-1 server is 25% faster and has better response time than the IBM P750 POWER7 system, when executing the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.0.1 Day in the Life test, online component.
- The SPARC T3-1 server had 25% better space/performance than the IBM P750 POWER7 server.
- The SPARC T3-1 server is 5x faster than the x86-based IBM x3650 M2 server system, when executing the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.0.1 Day in the Life test, online component.
- The SPARC T3-1 server had 2.5x better space/performance than the x86-based IBM x3650 M2 server.
What Oracle did not say was that:
- For a single socket SPARC T3 to have 25% better results than a single socket POWER7, Oracle needed twice the number of cores and four times the threads as the IBM POWER7.
- Oracle compared their just released SPARC T3-1 results with that of an IBM POWER6, a product announced almost FOUR YEARS ago. This is very disingenuous of Oracle and assumes their customers will not bother to check if Oracle is making apples-to-apples comparisons. Sun used to assume this.
- Oracle then compared their new SPARC T3-1 server results to an IBM x3650M2, 2x2.93 GHz X5570, with 64GB of memory – half the RAM of the Oracle T3 machine. It is incumbent on Oracle to compare their new machine with a comparably configured IBM x86 server, that is, one with 128MB, or provide results for SPARC T3-1 server with 64GB of RAM. Neglecting to do so will result in more of Oracle's performance claims coming under increased scrutiny.
Oracle claims their SPARC T3-1 is 5X faster than the IBM IBM x3650M2. This claim is not conclusive. A server cannot be 5X faster simply because the benchmark reports it serviced 5X the number of users. Moreover, the IBM x3650 M2's response time is .29 secs compared with the latest SPARC T3-1 of .523 sec. If response time is more important to the user, the year and half old IBM x3650 M2 with half the RAM and half the core count is about 2X as responsive as the latest SPARC T3-1 servers. In fact, the amount of available system RAM usually has a direct relationship on the number of users. It will be interesting see what the latest IBM X3650 M3 with 128GB of RAM will have for results.
If core licenses costs are important, IBM's year old POWER7 750 uses half the number of cores for about the same benchmark performance as the the just released Oracle SPARC T3-1 server. This Oracle benchmark announcement demonstrates that the latest SPARC T3-1 server, at a minimum, has a business application suit licensing cost of 2x over that for IBM POWER7 750 servers. Oracle is telling us that SW costs based on cores could double by using their HW over POWER7 servers from IBM.
Oracle should not assume that the readers of its benchmark results will believe their claims without investigation!

(CBS) - President Obama and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie today flew over the Jersey Shore to assess the devastation that Superstorm Sandy left in its wake, stopping at a community center to reassure the storm's victims that state and federal officials are working together to help the state recover.
"I want to let you know that your governor is working overtime," President Obama told New Jersey residents gathered at the Brigantine Beach Community Center in Brigantine, N.J. "The entire country has been watching what's been happening. Everybody knows how hard Jersey has been hit."
The community center, in a small community northeast of Atlantic City, has served as a shelter for local residents affected by Sandy. At the storm's peak, 200 people were sleeping in the center's gym. Currently, about 50 people are staying overnight there, with many others coming throughout the day to eat, charge their electronics and take hot showers.
Christie commended the president's response to the crisis, telling residents, "It's really important to have the president of the United States here."
The two leaders spoke with residents at the community center and stopped to greet the cooks. "The people have been cooking for 18 hours straight," Mr. Obama remarked.
The president said the "top priority" is to restore power. Power outages that at their peak Monday affected 2.7 million residential and commercial customers in the state. When the president told the residents, "We're going to not tolerate any red tape," Christie chimed in, "I know he means it."
"We took a whole tour of the coast," Christie said. "He got a chance to see the destruction along the coast of New Jersey and we've been working with [FEMA Director Craig] Fugate here to make sure that we need the things we need to get here. This state is working hard too, you know we're working hard."

I've read through most of the documentation and howtos on how to set up zimbra, but have not found anything that really addresses this.
We want to use zimbra as our mail/collaboration suite, and installing it does not seem to be a problem.
we want to use zimbra on our webserver, i.e. have a web/mail server. In its default configuration, though, zimbra takes over port 80, so attempting to start apache results in an error (and failure).
Is it possible to use the zimbra-apache server to do a virtualhost environment that allows for multiple virtualhosts to exist on that server?
Should I instead change the web ports zimbra runs on during install time and use a seperate apache server?
ideally, we'd like to have www.ourdomain.com , several other subdomains and have webmail.ourdomain.com resolve to zimbra, is there any way to do this?
Sorry if I'm re-posting old questions, I've searched through the forums and not found anything yet that really answers my questions. The administrator guide didn't even touch on web hosting.

|FCE awards four Holyoke youth
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Four Holyoke fourth graders were recognized at this year's FCE essay winners presentation at Holyoke Elementary School on Wednesday, April 15.
Each year, the Jolly Dozen FCE Club holds an arts and essay contest for fourth grade students. The theme this year is "responsibility."
Fourth grade teachers are given the information regarding the contest and students are encouraged to participate. The teachers then collect several essays and give them to FCE. A panel of club members is put together to pick the winners on the county level.
Austin Herman was selected as the first place winner of the essay contest. His essay will be sent on to the state level and, if he wins, then the national level.
Second place was awarded to Emily Krogmeier and third place went to Sydney Goldenstein. Tristan Sullivan also received an honorable mention for his art work.
Responsibility Ripples
By Austin Herman
Being responsible is like a ripple. If you do something right, everybody will see you and follow your example. Then your neighborhood will become a clean, nice environment to live in.
If you do something wrong, everybody will be watching and follow your example. Then your neighborhood will turn into a dirty environment. Remember the next time you don't take out the trash or do your homework, others will follow your example.
It's your choice. Is your neighborhood going to be a nice place to live in or a dirty, dangerous environment? Remember to be responsible and do your duties.
By Emily Krogmeier
How can you display responsibility with your siblings? When you are at home, you should always be genial to your siblings.
How I feel about exhibiting responsibility in my community: If everybody would help everyone, we could make our community better. We could help the elderly mow their grass if they can't go outside.
You should always show responsibility wherever you are. You can help everybody in your community.
By Sydney Goldenstein
You should use responsibility in a wise way.
When you use responsibility at school, you should remember to bring all your supplies to all your classes. You should do all your homework and bring it back when it is due. Also, be responsible about what your teachers assign you!
At home, you should be responsible about what your parents or guardians tell you to do.
You may have a lot of responsibilities but being responsible is very important. Make sure you are responsible about your privileges. Remember that responsibilities never leave you.

Parents always want to protect their babies against all of the dangers in the environment. While many think first of germs and choking hazards, we always need to remember that sun exposure, as natural as it may seem, can pose an immediate danger to the delicate skin of a baby. The Mustela In Sun line has developed in order to provide high quality, effective sun protection for babies who are out in the sun. Parents always want to be careful with chemical sunscreens as they can be harmful and irritating to young skin. Mustela In Sun contains only natural and gentle mineral sunscreens that create a physical barrier between the sun and the skin. This prevents the sun's damaging rays from damaging the skin's surface. Minerals are cooling and soothing and very effective at protecting even the most delicate skin.
Mustela In Sun products should be used regularly in order to ensure proper protection from the sun. Mustela In Sun products are water resistant so they are a great choice for days at the beach or pool. Unlike chemical sunscreens, mineral sunscreen products are effective as soon as they are applied so there is no need to wait before leaving the house.
Even though the Mustela In Sun line was created with babies in mind, these products are also great choices for adults with sensitive skin that have been unable to tolerate other sunscreen products.
Mustela High Protection Sun Lotion SPF 50 offers an exceptional level of sun protection using only the mineral zinc oxide and titanium. These two minerals create a protective barrier on the skin which keeps both UVA and UVB rays from reaching the skin's surface. Both minerals have other great qualities. The mineral formula is cooling and soothing. It can actually reduce redness and irritation and speed the healing of minor skin issues. Mustela High Protection Sun Lotion SPF 50 is a water resistant sunscreen that is perfect for outdoor activities. Aloe vera and Vitamin E are added for their protective and nourishing qualities.
Areas that are particularly exposed as well as sensitive areas are especially prone to the damaging effects of the sun's rays. Mustela Sun Cream For Sensitive Areas SPF 50 was formulated to provide concentrated protection on areas such as the nose, cheeks and lips that need a little extra help. The pure mineral formula can be used safely on babies for exceptional protection against sun burning and damage. Mustela Sun Cream For Sensitive Areas SPF 50 works great when paired with the Mustela Hight Protection Sun Lotion SPF 50. You can apply the lotion all over followed by the Mustela Sun Cream For Sensitive Areas SPF 50 where the skin is most vulnerable.
