After a Chicago Sun-Times article mentioned Bob Stoops as a potential candidate for the soon-to-be-vacant Notre Dame job, the Oklahoma head coach almost immediately denounced the rumor as "ridiculous".
That rumor had started to slowly sink below the surface, but now, today, Mr. College Football seems to be doing his best to resuscitate it.
Tony Barnhart of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, arguably the best and most connected college football writer in the country, has scooped the Stoops rumor up off the floor and tosses it back on the table in a note titled "I think Bob Stoops will at least listen to Notre Dame."
Barnhart insinuates that 11 years in Norman may be enough for Stoops, and that the 49-year-old coach may have "one more move left in him."
To be honest, Barnhart may be on to something. The criticism of Stoops has grown louder than it ever has this year, even as a good chunk of the Sooners' disappointing season is directly attributable to injuries. Can Stoops turn a deaf ear to the critics, or will it open up an ear that would normally be closed to at listen to the calls that will inevitably come from South Bend?
All we know is, when Barnhart says something, it's best to sit up and pay attention.
I would love to see it. Any heartburn for the rednecks in Oklahoma is a good thing.

I think this is more likely than Urban Meyer. Lots of people at OU are ready for a change.
Of course he'll listen. And then he'll wait for OU to counter with a new contract - he won't leave the Big 12

umm ya of course he will listen why not. listening is a lot different from taking the job.
Stoops to Notre Dame

I think this would make sense - he's only one year out of the game and can recruit the south, all he needs is a combination of SEC and Big 12 experienced coordinators and his team would be a threat to win the south every year.

I don't think Oklahoma would be happy with Kelly, for some reason. I think Kelly is likely to go to Notre Dame before Stoops.

Going under cover for a perfect gift
(Page 2 of 3)
My friend the historian got "Iron Curtain," by Anne Applebaum, a riveting account of the takeover of Eastern Europe by the USSR following World War II. Those years comprise a historical watershed, and I don't recall another book that focuses, with such clarity, on that time.
My dad, who remembers the 1940s better than he remembers this morning's oatmeal, got "Istanbul Passage," by Joseph Kanon, a terrific thinking person's spy thriller about efforts to facilitate the escape of European Jews through Turkey during World War II.
A cousin is completing a residency program in oncology. I sent her "The Emperor of All Maladies," by Siddhartha Mukherjee, an epic history of cancer and its treatment. The book won the Pulitzer Prize for nonfiction in 2011.
A real pal and big-time reader got "Building Stories," by Chris Ware, a completely original collection of 14 interrelated books, pamphlets, leaflets, etc., that come in a box and tell the stories of the people who live in one apartment building.
I went to college with someone who grew up in Detroit. He got "Detroit City is the Place to Be: The Afterlife of an American Metropolis." Written by Rolling Stone reporter Mark Benalli, the book tells the tale of two cities, one that was a thriving center of the auto industry, the other, flat broke, savaged by the recession but possibly feeling signs of new life.
My husband claims that he can't "get into" any book besides the thrill-a-minute, high-tension best-sellers by Patterson, DeMille, Cross and Baldacci. I like a challenge, so I bought him "A Wild Surge of Guilty Passion," by Ron Hansen, a true story of passion, adultery and murder. How could he not love it?
I don't like to say there's a book all of us should read, but here goes: Please read "The Yellow Birds," by Kevin Powers. Many have said it is the Iraq War equivalent of "All Quiet on the Western Front." Having lived through this time, debated the war, cried over the dead and mourned the suffering inflicted on this generation of warriors, we need to read the story.
"People Who Eat Darkness: the True Story of a Young Woman Who Vanished from the Streets of Tokyo," a book by Lloyd Parry, is a compelling read that, along the way, opens up the culture of Japan in a way few other books have.

Yes, dear readers. Once again, I'm sharing another success story with my beloved pressure cooker. I can't help myself. Pressure cooking has become "hip again, and I'll take any way I can join that movement.
slow cooker, for those of you who don't own a pressure cooker. You just need to wait for a zillion more hours-- well, okay, like six or eight hours. I've made them, this way, with bottled BBQ sauce. They're pretty good. But, nothing beats slow grilling ribs on a Weber.
Even grilled ribs take 1-1/2 hours to be tender and ready to dig in.
I'm still having a love affair with America's Test Kitchen's cookbook, "Pressure Cooking Perfection". Several of the recipes, in this cookbook, have been adapted from their recipes that are made in a more "conventional" way. I've made at least a half dozen of their recipes (a few more are yet to be shared with y'all).
While my Boston Baked Beans were slow baking in the oven, I pondered what to make with them. It was a raining, like nuts, and so grilling was out of the question. That's when I remembered that I bookmarked this rib recipe. The rub took only minutes to put together.
I bought just one rack of ribs, since I was cooking for two. I own an 8-Quart oval electric pressure cooker (no longer made, I'm sorry to say) so I could have cut the rack in half.
Press the rub in, generously...
I'm going to preface how I made the sauce, by saying it's incredibly good! I just love it.
Better yet, it doesn't take a lot of time to make. The most time spent is in dicing onion and mincing garlic. The rest of the ingredients are molasses, apple cider vinegar, water, Dijon mustard, water and ketchup. This barbecue sauce is so good, that the recipe stands alone-- all by it's glorious self. Make it. Bottle it. You'll love it.
Using the browning/searing feature, of my P/C, the onions are cooked until just soft-- just a few minutes -- then the garlic is added until fragrant. Like, 30 seconds. Toss in the rest of the ingredients, stir and cook for a minute. Reserve one cup of the sauce, and set aside. This will be poured on top of the ribs, before pressure cooking them.
So, now the ribs are set along the rim of the pressure cooker, meat side "out", ribs facing "in".
If you are adapting this to a slow cooker, cook the sauce on the stove, then add it the slow cooker. Nestle the ribs in the sauce. For the PC, I clicked on the lid, locked it in place and set it on medium-high for 15 minutes. For the slow cooker, set it for 6-8 hours. Have I convinced you why pressure cookers are so awesome?
Okay, then, 15 minutes have passed. I turn off the pressure cooker to what's called a "natural release".
These don't look so pretty, do they? They're very tender, I can see. Set them on an aluminum foil covered baking sheet, and on top of a rack. Turn the broiler on, and move the rack to about 6" below the flame. At the same time, skim off the fat from the braising/barbecue sauce and simmer on medium-high. Simmer the sauce until thickened and it measures about 2 cups.
Baste those bad boys, generously.
Flip 'em over and baste well. Pop these under the broiler, checking them every 2-3 minutes. Baste again...and again...
You can broil these up to 15 minutes, but I quit at ten minutes. I like a little char, but because of the brown sugar, I didn't want these to burn to all black.
Serve these with the extra sauce, and plenty of napkins, on the side.
... Boston Baked Beans. What a way to bring some summer into our home, on a rainy Spring day!
TASTING NOTES: Where do I start? The ribs-- you could pull the bones out of the meat, with minimal effort. The meat was butter tender, moist and that sauce! This recipe is now my #1 favorite indoor version for making Barbeque ribs. Bottle sauce isn't so bad to use, but making this homemade sauce is so worth the extra 10 or 15 minutes. Hubs and I were pretty silent, as we enjoyed our rib and beans combination. These are a match made in Foodie Heaven. This made three servings, which my son ate as a midnight snack.
America's Test Kitchen-- bam! Great recipe. Dig out your pressure cookers that you've stored in your garage, under the Christmas ornaments. You'll be Über cool when you start pressure cooking with confidence. I've said it dozens of times, and I'll say it again-- whatever explosions you've witnessed or heard about... not gonna happen. Today's pressure cookers are fool-proof.
Now, go! Discover how fast and effortless pressure cooking is. Start with this recipe. Then use my search bar to find other pressure cooker recipes I've posted-- including rice pudding for dessert. Da bomb!
As always, a printable recipe card is at the end of this post.

12 Days of Edible Gifts: Cherry Bounce
I've wanted to make my own cherry cordial for the longest time, so when it was time to get started on our 12 Days of Edible Gifts, I knew exactly what I'd be making. For those of you who aren't familiar with cherry bounce, it's nothing new. It's rather old, in fact — colonialists and pilgrims were known to drink it, and Martha Washington famously recorded her recipe for cherry bounce, which she served during the holidays and other special occasions.
This after-dinner libation, which is made by steeping cherries and sugar in brandy, rum, and sometimes whiskey, originated in the Northeast but has since spread across the country. Today, it can be found everywhere from the woodlands of rural Louisiana to Michigan cherry-growing country. With its spiced, black fruit notes, cherry bounce is a sweet after-dinner digestif — and an even lovelier handmade gift. Make it this holiday when you read more.
Adapted from Gourmet
Cherry Bounce
4 pounds frozen Bing cherries, thawed (you can also use fresh cherries when in season, and stone them)
2 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground mace
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 cup brandy
1 cup rum
Special equipment: Fine sieve and/or cheesecloth
- Cook cherries in a double boiler until they are very soft.
- Strain the juice (I strained it twice, the first time with a sieve and the second time with some cheesecloth), and measure it. For each quart of juice add 2 cups sugar and 1/4 teaspoon each of ground mace and ground allspice.
- Simmer the mixture, skimming it frequently, until the scum ceases to rise.
- Cool the syrup and measure it. For each quart of syrup add 1 cup each of brandy and rum. Store the cordial in bottles. Serve the cherry bounce as an after-dinner liqueur.
Makes 6 cups.

SAVANNAH, Ga. -- Police investigating the fatal shooting of a baby in coastal Georgia have arrested the mother and aunt of a teenage suspect on charges that they lied to authorities.
Glynn County jail records show 36-year-old Karimah Elkins and 33-year-old Katrina Elkins were booked Tuesday on charges of making false statements to police.
Karimah Elkins is the mother of 17-year-old De'Marquise Elkins, who is charged with murder in the Thursday killing of 13-month-old Antonio Santiago in Brunswick.
Katrina Elkins is the suspect's aunt. She told media on Saturday that her nephew couldn't have killed the child because he was at her house having breakfast.
The baby's mother, Sherry West, identified De'Marquise Elkins in a police photo lineup as her son's killer. A 15 year old is also charged.

text: The way we consume data is about to change forever. Hello, 4G Magazine Features 29 September 11 by William Shaw This article was taken from the October 2011 issue of Wired magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online.Dennis Sverdlov, a quietly spoken man dressed in a black sweater, sits in his glass-walled office in St Petersburg. Through his large windows he can see out over the frozen seas of the Gulf of Finland far below: kiteboarders skim over dazzling ice that stretches as far as the eye can see.The 32-year-old is CEO of Russian communications company Yota. For the last two years, it has been delivering "near-4G" WiMAX wireless broadband to 20 million people across the cities of Moscow, St Petersburg, Ufa, Sochi and Krasnodar. Whether walking the streets or sitting in their cars, users can connect to the internet via smartphones, laptops and tablets at speeds at least as fast as those that we in Britain achieve from our fixed-line cable modems. In St Petersburg you can walk down the street while video-conferencing or playing PlayStation online.The great hope for 4G, when it's finally introduced, is that it will deliver speeds over 100Mbps when you're on the move and 1Gbps when you're not. By way of comparison, the current average UK broadband speed is 6.8Mbps. Steven Hartley, senior analyst at Ovum, says that 4G represents a subtle but significant shift in possibilities. "The things you've become used to doing at home or at your desk -- cloud computing, watching videos that don't judder, online gaming -- potentially, all that is available to you from the back of a taxi," he says.Yota plans to have rolled out its 4G service to 180 Russian cities by autumn 2012; that would expand its customer base from its current one million near-4G users to a potential 70 million. Most of Britain is unlikely to be able to access 4G services before 2013 at the earliest. "But," Sverdlov says, "you have many other good things." Then he bursts out laughing.Few people outside the telco-conference circuit will have heard of Yota, yet this Russian company is one of a handful of 4G providers, including Clearwire in the US and TeliaSonera in Scandinavia, that are competing to offer mobile internet that can transfer data at high speeds but with low transmission cost.In Britain, telecom giants such as Orange, 3, Vodafone and BT spent much of the last decade trying to recoup the £22.5 billion investment they made buying 3G licences in 2000. But Yota -- a company founded in 2007 by Serguei Adoniev, a Russian multimillionaire then with no telco experience -- leapfrogged 3G in favour of investing in a network that would be able to support fourth-generation wireless broadband.In Russia's developing economy, in which 3G had barely begun to gain a foothold anyway, Yota ignored an entire telecommunications generation and fast-forwarded to the next. It helped that Yota is backed by state-owned companies: even after 20 years of capitalism, elements of the old Soviet command economy continue to give the state the final say. In effect, Russia has become a laboratory for how the rest of the world will use 4G."When we started Yota, we understood that this was the moment," Sverdlov explains. "From the beginning we understood that wireless broadband will change everything. There were going to be new rules... a new business infrastructure." Old business models in which telcos tie consumers into a contract for a set number of talk minutes each month have no place in a 4G world in which voice is simply another form of data.With 4G technology, your mobile-phone company starts to look much more like an internet-service provider. "And then," says Sverdlov, "if you are connected in this way, you start to think, how will it change our lives?"However, Yota sees its real competitive advantage less in getting to the new technology first than in being the company that really understands how 4G will change the way in which we behave, online and off. It is experimenting not only with speeds and coverage, but also with how future 4G services will change the way consumers interact with devices.Unemcumbered by a western-style government agenda of achieving universal coverage, Yota has been expanding into high-population areas in which it can quickly recover infrastructural costs. In Moscow, St Petersburg, Ufa, Sochi and Krasnodar you can buy a Yota dongle for RUB 2,390 (£53). Better still, the Yota Egg -- a standalone, battery-powered near-4G wireless router -- gives you access to the internet at speeds of up to 10Mbps for a monthly fee of RUB 1,400. At 3Mbps to 5Mbps you can tolerably stream HD video to a laptop or mobile. A gamer could be standing at a bus stop playing World of Warcraft while his opponent in, say, Leeds is stuck behind her desktop, perhaps with a slower connection.Telco standards are sophisticated evolutions of previous technologies rather than fundamentally different approaches. So far, the leading near-4G standards have been Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) and Long Term Evolution (LTE). However, neither WiMAX nor the current release of LTE is technically counted by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) as a 4G technology -- though both standards are being marketed worldwide as just that. The ITU prefers to label them "pre-4G technology" or 3.9G.It's not just the speed that will be transformative: 4G offers consumers the opportunity to access gigabytes of data wherever they are. Unlike conventional telecoms companies, which typically sell a monthly data allocation, Yota places no cap on the quantity that can be downloaded; it's a digital all-you-can-eat buffet.One of its first customers stretched that point by consuming almost two terabytes in a single month -- the equivalent of nearly 450 DVDs. Although that individual was almost certainly doing something that involved infringing the copyright of large entertainment companies, within Yota the anonymous downloader has taken on the aura of a hero of the 4G revolution.What is being experienced in the five Russian cities demonstrates just some of the innovations 4G will bring. With added scale and speed, new generations of devices will be able to pass ever-greater amounts of information between themselves wherever they're located. And when millions of consumers can watch movies, update social-media channels or carry out financial transactions on the go, the company believes 4G will disrupt not only the telcos' business model -- but lead to a revolution in content."From day one," Sverdlov says, "when we started as an infrastructure business, we also started a company called Yota Lab to build the software, and another company to collect media content -- and the rights to media content." This is part of Yota's plan to secondguess what users will want from 4G services.Ilya Oskolkov-Tsentsiper, the vice-president of Yota Group, is based at the company's London office. He talks enthusiastically of a 4G-enabled world in which consumers are constantly, universally connected. "All this will be happening wherever you are," he says. "You don't ever have to sit down in front of a specific device. You just move with this cloud over you."Sitting drinking tea at The Bleeding Heart restaurant in Clerkenwell, east London, Oskolkov-Tsentsiper peppers his conversation with quotes from Turgenev and Pushkin. He says he comes to this restaurant because the grouchiness of the French waiters reminds him of home.In 1999 he set up Afisha, Moscow's equivalent of the entertainment-listings magazine Time Out. Ten years later he cofounded the Strelka Institute, a postgraduate media, architecture and design-education initiative in the city. He explains that any moment now the company is going to launch Yota Play, a video-on-demand service that will allow subscribers to access content from any connected device, switching from one to another to pick up content from where they left off. By the autumn it plans to launch anonline banking service."I'm hesitating even to call it a bank," says OskolkovTsentsiper. "We swore on the first day we wouldn't call it a bank, because the moment you do, it becomes a bank -- and no one likes banks. You don't want more banks in your life." The project is still at Yota Labs, but it represents the scale of the firm's ambition by attempting to create something more than just a technology: it wants to discover what might be achieved by applying that technology to disrupt traditional industries... such as banking. "[With this project] we are redesigning money, rather than banks," Oskolkov-Tsentsiper says. Read page 2 1234 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

Our Many Faces is an exhibition of artwork created by children and young people from Kids Company, in collaboration with the RWA. The work courageously explores the positive and negative aspects of the self, the different masks we wear and what lies behind the mask once it is lifted.
The partnership between the RWA and Kids Company is based on the belief that the practice of art in the context of compassionate human relationships can be life-changing for vulnerable children. The staff at Kids Company are therapeutically trained and support children through potential trauma recovery. The staff and volunteers at the RWA, including Academicians and Artist Network members, have brought their artistic experience to the project and share a commitment to enrich and transform children's lives.
This exhibition celebrates the astounding ability of children and young people to create art from adversity.

Newark, DE (Sports Network) - The University of Delaware fired highly-
successful football coach K.C. Keeler in a shocking decision on Monday.
Keeler led Delaware to three FCS national championship games, including the
2003 title. The Wilmington News Journal first reported the firing on Twitter.
Keeler is considered an outspoken coach, but he's been a big-winner at
Delaware, compiling an 86-52 record in 11 seasons. He replaced legendary coach
Harold "Tubby" Raymond in 2002.
"We appreciate the efforts and accomplishments of Coach Keeler in leading the
Blue Hens football program," University of Delaware Director of Athletics and
Recreation Services Eric Ziady said. "The 86 wins and the 2003 National
Championship will forever be etched in the hearts and minds of the Blue Hen
faithful, and I thank Coach for his commitment to his alma mater.
"However, at this important time in UD Athletics, and after thorough
evaluation over the past two months, I believe a change of direction is needed
in Delaware football. We must reinvigorate our program and reenergize our
supporters as we lay the foundation for future success."
Delaware complied a 5-6 record this season after starting the year 4-0. The
Blue Hens won just one of their last seven games and lost the last four
contests of 2012. It was the longest losing drought in program history since
the 1967 season.
The 53-year old Keeler was a Blue Hen linebacker and three-year starter for
Raymond and was a junior on the 1979 Division II Blue Hen national title team.

Ask the Architect
Questions most often asked
I've received an overwhelming number of questions as I make my way through people's damaged homes, preparing damage assessment reports and discussing rebuilding. I'll try to answer as many as I can in the next few columns.
A. My understanding is that several municipalities, knowing full well that we have to elevate, are reviewing their guidelines. In the meantime, they will still require zoning approval and will accept of higher proposed buildings as long as the proposals are "reasonable." Attics instead of basements, carports under raised homes, bedrooms with ceiling sprinkler systems will probably be the new normal. Your jurisdiction wants to work with you, not lose you, from what I'm hearing and witnessing.
A. I don't know about any program involving cable, but the state of New York is planning a burial for LIPA, possibly as deep as 6 feet under, with a new utility to replace them.
A. Since you didn't ask them to make a repair, write to thank them for preparing your roof for Santa Claus and offer them milk and cookies instead.
A. A special committee with checks and balances at FEMA, co-chaired by Al Gore and Rush Limbaugh, is being set up to handle this matter. So far they are suggesting that your premium remain the same but that your floodwaters be lowered.
A. Tell them you need more work done, insist they spray and then test for proof of no mold, then re-insulate.

Question is about why LDAP server allows Anonymous access to all data..
We dont have firewall but even if we block the port, LDAP in still open to INTERNAL NETWORK.
Why default setting of Zimbra is Anonymous access to all LDAP data
1) Download any LDAP Explorer tool (ie: windows .net tool ASP-DEv XM LDAP Explorer http://www.asp-dev.com/main.asp?page=200 )
2) only put INTERNAL or EXTERNAL IP of zimbra LDAP server (no username password) and you can access all LDAP data and usernames
How can we enable AUTH in LDAP so no data is visible thru Anonymous access from any network internal or external.
Can anyone confirm this behavior and what can we do to stop this to make it more secure.

WOODSFIELD - Whenever a pair of rivals meet, anything can happen. Such was the case Friday night at Memorial Park as Monroe Central (2-1) snapped a 14-14 halftime deadlock by exploding for 30 third-quarter points en route to a 50-26 victory against previously unbeaten River (2-1) before a standing-room-only gathering.
Senior quarterback Korey Lafferre was the engineer of the Seminoles' scorefest. The 5-foot-9, 165-pounder accounted for 26 of those points as he ran for three touchdowns, passed for another and tossed a 2-point conversion.
''The coaches just told us to go out and execute and everything else would take care of itself,'' Lafferre said of the halftime lecture. ''This is a very satisfying win for us.''
Lafferre scored on runs of 12, 52 and 15 yards in the third quarter alone, while also teaming up with classmate Cameron Jorris on a 73-yard pitch-and-catch. He started the scoring with a 56-yard scamper in the first quarter, and concluded it with a 72-yard sprint in the fourth.
''We finally put together some offense,'' Monroe Central coach Jay Circosta said after watching his team pile up 419 total yards. ''We started out with the spinner series and then we switched to the spread. Our offensive line did a great job, and our backs did a great job.''
River rallied from a 14-0 deficit to tie the game with 4.4 seconds left in the first half on a 2-yard touchdown run by Nick Asturi. Colton Wright's PAT evened the count.
However, a fumble on the Pilots' first play of their second possession in the third quarter started the onslaught.
Monroe Central's Dylan Shapley recovered at the River 21 and two plays later, Lafferre turned the right corner and dove inside the pylon for a 12-yard scamper.
After River went three-and-out, Lafferre scooted 25 yards on a third-and-15. Three plays later he went up the middle untouched from 52 yards out. Levi Brown converted a nifty fake on the extra point for two, making it 29-14.
Before the fans could get settled back in their seats, Asturi broke a tackle at midfield and ran away from everyone for a 58-yard scoring jaunt. The 2-point pass failed, leaving the Pilots staring a 29-20 deficit in the face.
That margin quickly grew as Lafferre faked into the line on the very next offensive snap before launching the ball down the right sideline where Jorris caught it in stride at midfield. He outran everyone to the promised land for a 73-yard hookup for a 36-20 lead.
Things continued to go bad for the Pilots as Shapley pounced on another fumble, this one at the River 26. Lafferre picked up 11 yards on first down before reaching the end zone on the next play. Lafferre then teamed with Jake Schuerman on the 2-point conversion for a 44-20 reading.
Asturi added a 40-yard scoring run in the final quarter to cap his 20-carry, 171-yard effort.
However, Lafferre concluded his outstanding effort with a 72-yard sprint. He finished with 256 yards and five touchdowns on the ground.
Brown chipped in 96 yards on 16 carries. He had a 22-yard scoring run in the first quarter to stake the hosts to a 14-0 lead.
Cody Caldwell connected with Kam Brown from 29 yards out to get River on the board in the second quarter.
''I give all the credit to Monroe,'' River coach Mike Flannery said. ''I knew we were getting them at a bad time (following a 35-7 loss to Shadyside).
''We were confident coming in here. Maybe a little overconfident, but, is it surprising (the loss)? It's disappointing how we played on both sides of the ball. We put our defense in some really bad field position.
''The Lafferre and Brown kids single-handedly beat us. They played a great game and Jay is a class act.''
As much as Circosta wanted to talk about his offense, he didn't want to overlook the defense, especially Shapley, Guiler and Mike Jones.
''Our defense has been playing pretty well,'' he said. ''The problem was that we were giving up some big plays. Last week we gave up four big plays against Shadyside. Other than that, we shut their running game down.
''This will be a nice stepping stone for our kids. River's got a good football team. They are going to win a lot of football games.''

Get ready for Doc and Danny stepping up all excited and announcing they have drafted the Best athlete available in this years NBA draft.
Every coach, every reporter ,every scout and most Celtic fans know the Celtics need a big man .But Danny and Doc will not waiver and the fact the C's have been at the bottom of the league every year in rebounding will have no bearing on their choice.
You can forget about Plumlee, Whitney Dario Saric, Olynyk, Nogueria or Len walking through the C's door and wearing a C's cap on draft day. They will be deemed not athletic enough by Danny or Doc.I predicts Danny will draft Jamaal Franklin, Deshaun Thomas or Isaiah Canaan.
Garnett and Pierce will return next year and Doc will lead the C's to 40 wins and average 82 points a game. Losing in the first round of the playoffs again.
I can hardly wait for the draft??
Take care C's fans

Rendering offshore waters off limits to fishing is just wrong
Anglers who enjoy taking a boat ride in the open, blue water of the Pacific Ocean chomp at the bit each year for the regulations booklet that will define how they'll be able to enjoy their sport – especially when it comes to various rock cod, including lingcod, cabezon and greenlings, known to most as bottom fish.
While there isn't much fishing activity in ocean water now, there are exceptions. Few try for sturgeon in ocean water, but the season is open. So is halibut. Some boats will look for big schools of sand dabs, and a whole fishery has opened for the huge Humboldt squid in the past few years. And let's not forget the open Dungeness crab fishery.
While the fishery for the general bottom fish doesn't open until mid-May, the other fisheries are open but the 2011 regulations booklet governing that particular fishery has been delayed.
California must conform to the feds – the Pacific Fishery Management Council – and there have been procedural difficulties encountered.
There has been no word when the booklet will be adopted and made available. In the meantime, go by the rules and regulations of 2010.
There will be major hitches in fishing ocean water this year. The implementation of the Marine Life Protection Act will render large offshore areas off limits.
Wrong – so wrong.
Rendered off limits to the take of fish and even seaweed are 36 new Marine Protected Areas encompassing hundreds of square miles of offshore water. About all anglers will be able to do is take a boat ride across the affected areas.
The California Fish and Game Commission received report after report from individuals, scientists and cities that would be affected by the closures, asking that the MPAs not be implemented and citing tons of scientific evidence.
I'd like to know just for what they had hearings when these commissioners completely disregarded those who wished to be heard.
It mattered not to the CFGC. It rubber-stamped the requested areas and effectively closed them to the general public's use, other than to boat across.
Personally, I am so against these Marine Protected Areas. Why? You don't manage a resource by closing it. There are much more effective methods the CFGC wouldn't even consider.
Current fishing
The last snow survey in the drainage that affects reservoirs such as Folsom and Oroville showed the snow pack was about 200 percent of normal.
That survey was conducted at the end of December, and there has been little snow since. With the temperature rising to spring-like days, packing the snow and even melting it, that percentage is dropping.
Nobody believes we're done with winter. Enjoy the blue sky and warming temperature while it lasts. Most lakes are rising to the point that they're actually full now – and the fishing is good.
San Pablo Bay: If there's a good, moving outgoing tide, the sturgeon bite is nothing short of excellent. If you launch at Loch Lomond, it's a short run to places like the Pumphouse, a general reference point for dropping anchor but certainly not the only area. You should find a sturgeon roaming anywhere in those flats. I generally drop anchor between MacNear Pier and Rat Rock in the China Camp region in shallow water and have done well. Many sturgeon are what I call "Kamikaze bites." They take it with a hard take down and don't just suck on the bait.
Suisun Bay: It's a short run to any good fishing ground when you launch at the Martinez ramp. Go under the bridge to the open water of the bay. Turn left into the channel, and there are numerous areas to drop anchor and do well for sturgeon. Straight across from the bridge, you have Mothball Fleet and the mouth of Montezuma Slough. Turn right and anchor around Big Cutt. The area is loaded with sturgeon. Anchor your bait on the bottom for that big fish to find.
Sierra: Some lakes were just beginning to allow anglers onto the ice to bore a hole and fish. However, with daytime temperature in the 50s, many ice levels have become too iffy, and the last thing you want to do is go through the ice. The thinnest ice will be near the shoreline, where the water depth is the shallowest and water the warmest. Hang in there a little longer. Ice fishing will be a prime activity; just not right now.
Lake Amador: They plant big fish from their homegrown stock. Can you imagine tying into a 13-pound trout? One angler did recently. While one that big may be the exception, there are a bunch of four- to nine-pounders available.
Limits aren't exactly the rule, but many anglers leave with at least a couple of fish. The trout are suspended so hang salmon eggs under a bobber. Even meal worms have attracted bites. With bait on one rig, toss a lure such as a Rapala or even a white crappie jig and simply cast-retrieve. Double your chances.
Camanche Lake: The best fishing in the main lake is by boat, but those fishing the South Shore Pond also are scoring. A couple of anglers in one boat, anchored in the area of the dam, both limited in a half-hour. Because fish are planted weekly at either the North or South Shore ramps, trolling in these regions is highly successful. A threaded night crawler is always a sure thing, but if you want to pull hardware, change lures until you find exactly what they're looking for. Get on the water early, and you should have your limit by noon.
Camp Far West: Despite a lack of rain the past three weeks, the lake is still spilling over the dam. The water has cleared somewhat, and the bass have decided they're hungry. Work them slow; they're there.

"Great Gift"
Ashley Bartholomew
Comments: The dart board is simple, but very nicely made. I got it monogrammed with my boyfriend's name and he was very pleasantly surprised. Looks great and fun to play!
"Magnetic Dart Board"
Comments: My husband was so ecstatic when he remodeled the basement and made it into his "man cave." He wanted to have a game night but only had a pool table. Being the good wife that I am, I went online to look for cool classic games and found this really nice dart board. I had "Rob's Man Cave" engraved. When he saw it, he loved it! Totally a great gift and can't beat the price!
Kathy Chandra
Comments: A really fun game. We had a ton of laughs over this game, especially since we place a person's picture instead of the numbers on the board.

ANSWER: Stone Hill Winery recommends the following contacts:

Dennis Rak, contact
QUESTION: What are the differences among varieties of grapes?
ANSWER: Here are quick definitions of major grape species and varieties:
Vitis Vinifera - European-type grapes grown in Europe, California, New York, Washington, Oregon and other states with milder climates. These grapes are tender and can't withstand fluctuating temperatures of a state like Missouri. They can only be grown in Missouri if the vines are covered with straw or dirt to survive the winters. Grape varieties include Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfindel, Johannisberg Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc.
Vitis Labrusca - Native American grapes grown in the Eastern U.S. and Midwestern states. Very hardy with a very strong grape flavor characteristic. Varieties include Concord and Catawba.
French-American Hybrids/European-American Hybrids - Hybrid crosses of Vitis Vinifera and Native American varieties. These hybrid grapes have fine wine characteristics of the Vinifera grapes but also have the cold hardiness of Native American varieties. They are grown in the Midwestern states and Eastern U.S. Varieties include Vidal Blanc, Seyval, Vignoles, Cayuga White, Chancellor, Chambourcin, St. Vincent, Vivant and Vincent.
Vitis Aestivalis - Native American grapes that are disease resistant, hardy and can withstand the cold. Grown in Missouri, Arkansas and Virginia, commercial varieties include Norton and Cynthiana.
QUESTION: Why do some of your wine bottles have corks and some have screw caps? I thought screw caps were not used on quality wines.
ANSWER: Our move to screw top closures for our wines was to retain the high quality of our wines. We feel we have made the right decision based on the fact between four and seven percent of all corked wines are tainted by trichloroanisole, a rather offensive smelling compound commonly know as TCA. TCA is a complex chemical that comes from reactions within cork involving natural mold and chlorine that is used in cork manufacture or is naturally occurring. Complicating the issue is that TCA levels can vary from barely perceptible to overtly offensive. The smell can best be described as musty, wet cardboard. The cork industry is working diligently to improve cork quality with better production methods, inspection, cork treatments or coatings, and stringent testing protocols. Though they are making progress, the cork-taint problem remains. With time, many industry experts believe the problem can be solved. In the meantime, quality-minded producers like Stone Hill Winery are looking to alternative wine closures to provide you, the consumer, with the best quality product. Based on years of research, the wine bottle closure that consistently provides the most reliable wine quality is the screw cap. In addition, the screw cap is very practical and user friendly. When it came time to upgrade to a faster bottling line we knew that we wanted the capability to screw cap our wines, especially for our fruit-driven whites and rosés. We also bought the new equipment to apply cork for the wines that are likely to be laid down and cellared for several years such as the Norton and Port. For these wines we will continue to only buy corks from suppliers who follow very stringent cork screening test to minimize the problem with cork taint. Screw caps are not a "cheaper" way of bottling wines, but every bottle will be free of cork taint!
QUESTION: Do you do specialty labels?
ANSWER: Unfortunately, we are unable to do specialty labels. However, we do Laser Etching at our Branson location on Glasses, Boxes, Coasters & More! We can custom laser etch on a variety of glasses, wooden gift boxes, cork coasters, votive cups & photo frames for any occasion.

San Diego is a federal hotspot
The region experienced spike in size of U.S. budget, now will see cuts
The federal government due for automatic budget cuts starting Friday is a large and growing operation, perhaps nowhere more so than San Diego County, home of wide-ranging Naval operations, a bustling border and vibrant biotech and drone sectors.
About $37 billion flows into the county each year, a number that includes billions of dollars for defense contracts and $500,000 for researchers to study safer sex intervention for clients of sex workers in Tijuana.
Federal spending here has grown from $19 billion at the start of the century. The county's economy, over the same period, grew at about half that rate.
Because San Diego County had more to gain during a massive spike in federal spending, especially from 2007 to 2011, the county also has more to lose as mandated, across-the-board sequestration cuts start today.
"We've benefitted more from the run-up in federal spending, so we will be more affected by the cuts," said Kelly Cunningham of the Institute for Policy research at National University.
The county has about 1 percent of the nation's population and receives three times that portion of federal spending, Cunningham said. Federal spending has grown from about 17 percent of the county's economy at the start of the last decade to 22 percent at the end.
That won't insulate the county when the cuts hit, he said.
"These are people with real jobs who will be impacted," Cunningham said. "If we lose 3 percent of our economy in the sequester and our growth was 2.2 percent in 2012, that puts us in a recession."
Because Congress and the president couldn't agree on targeted cuts to the $3.6 trillion federal budget, the mandated cuts will be imposed on many programs, amounting to about a 2.6 percent reduction overall, according to the Congressional Budget Office. That will bring spending just below 2009 levels.
If that percentage holds true here, San Diego County's economy will be trimmed by about $1 billion as a result of the sequester, U-T San Diego estimated based on a review of the most recent federal spending data available from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Marney Cox, chief economist at the regional planning group San Diego Association of Governments, said defense contractors are most likely to be affected because uniformed military personnel are exempted from cuts.
Cox said it is too early to say which research or development programs may be scaled back.
"Individual areas will feel the brunt of that depending on how the Department of Defense decides to implement the cuts," he said. "But we are going to lose jobs, no doubt about that. San Diego most likely will lose more jobs than the average city across the United States."
In theory, scaling back federal spending should have a positive effect on the economy over the longer term, Cox said, because additional capital would move into the private sector.
"There's no real return on investment from that type of (government) spending" beyond the jobs, he said. "In a normal private-sector economy, those earnings and profits are what's plowed back into the economy to stimulate growth."
In addition to defense contracts and university research, federal money also goes to local governments, needy families and healthcare for the elderly.
Federal budget hawks will begin cutting every program, project and activity in accounts that aren't exempt from the "sequester" as early as next week, but the full force of the trimming may not be felt in some sectors for months or years.
About $14.8 billion of the federal spending here would be exempt from cuts, meaning those areas subject to reductions will see a 6 to 9 percent decrease.

(Sports Network) - The New York Knicks hope to put together a rebound effort
on Wednesday night as they look to deal the Phoenix Suns a third straight
The Knicks began a three-game road trip on Christmas Day with a 100-94 setback
to the Los Angeles Lakers. It was New York's third loss in five games
following an 18-5 start to the season.
In a battle of the league's two leading scorers, the Knicks' Carmelo Anthony
matched Kobe Bryant's 34 points, but New York netted just 16 points in the
fourth quarter.
"Give them credit, they made the plays defensively," Knicks head coach Mike
Woodson said. "The fourth quarter was pretty much in their favor. We had some
breakdowns late and they cost us."
Anthony had just 10 points in the first half on Tuesday, but scored 17 in the
third. His 28.5 points per game trail only Bryant's 29.9 in the league.
J.R. Smith added 25 points, but only Raymond Felton (10 points) joined Smith
and Anthony in double figures.
"(Anthony's) been consistent for us all season; we just didn't get it from our
other guys tonight in terms of making plays down the stretch," said Woodson.
"The defense was pretty solid I thought for most of the game, but we had some
key breakdowns when it really counted and that cost us the game I thought."
Anthony was on point in an earlier meeting with the Suns this season, netting
34 points with six rebounds in a 106-99 home win on Dec. 2. Felton added 23
points and seven assists as New York snapped a two-game slide to Phoenix.
The Suns were paced by 18 points and 10 boards by Marcin Gortat, while Shannon
Brown had 17 points and seven rebounds.
Phoenix is hosting New York for the first time since Jan. 7, 2011, when the
Knicks snapped a seven-game series road losing streak with a 121-96 triumph.
The Suns have dropped two straight following a four-game slide and have been
out of action since a 103-77 setback to the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday.
Jared Dudley had 19 points and Luis Scola contributed 11 for Phoenix, which
fell to 9-6 at home compared to 2-11 as the guest.
Markieff Morris totaled 10 points, seven rebounds and five steals in defeat,
one in which the Suns trailed by as many as 31.
It was a bit of a chippy affair and Suns head coach Alvin Gentry picked up a
pair of technical fouls late in the second quarter that led to his ejection as
he argued with an official.
"It wasn't really a basketball game. There was a lot of wrestling, a lot of
fighting, and just basically was not the performance we wanted to give,"
explained Gortat. "I think at some point we stopped playing basketball, we
stopped executing and doing stuff that we are supposed to do. We started
wrestling and started worrying about referees and started complaining more and
not worrying about basketball."
The Suns remained two wins shy of 2,000 all-time in franchise history. They
are on pace to become the fourth-fastest club to reach the mark behind only
Boston, the Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia.

"When my department at Northrop Grumman had a need for engineers five years ago, I thought of my alma mater. I reached out to Calvin, and through the help of career development and the engineering department, I conducted on-campus interviews and found two top-notch hires, both of whom still work with the company today. These two have done very well, and we're hoping to hire additional Calvin engineers this year."
"As a recruiter for Gordon Food Service, I do a lot of hiring. I have found many outstanding entry-level and intern candidates through Calvin's career development office. They offer multiple ways of connecting with students — through job postings, on-campus presentations, job fairs and more."
"Finding quality candidates to fill opportunities can be a challenge. By partnering with Calvin's career development team, I've had tremendous success securing talent for marketing roles at Beene Garter and Spectrum Health. They took the time to understand my needs and, because of their relationships with students and graduates, effectively identified excellent applicants."

Letters to the Editor

(Page 4 of 4)
On March 19, we will have the opportunity to vote for the bond issue that will address much-needed and long-delayed improvements to our school district. As senior citizens and residents of the district since 1971, we urge you to support this bond.
Our reasons are threefold. There has been a proud tradition of providing a quality education to our students, and it is in our best interest to continue that tradition. Safer and more cohesive instructional space, as well as modern science labs, are some of the essential elements in attaining that goal.
Our homes are a valuable asset, and the reputation of the Rockville Centre School District is a major factor in maintaining that value. We believe that the additional cost of $10 per month for the average homeowner is a wise investment.
Because of low interest rates, competitive bidding and New York State Building Aid, the timing of the bond issue is excellent.
The education of our children is the responsibility of the community as a whole, so let us all support the bond issue.
Vincent and Helen Bohn

RVC is most likely the worst selfish in the world. In the aftermath of sandy, filthy dirty hungry folks whose homes were destroyed found out a week or two later that RVC folks were in the bars, out to dinner, laughing and enjoying life.
Red Cross, Fema, Mormans, folks from all over USA flew to Southshore to help in devastation
Selfish RVC could care less. RVC rec was too buy doing gymnastics to volunteer space, laundermats would not stay open late to help us wash clothes, RVC police would give out tickets to folks trying to use station while long beach line was closed.
I would never live or raise children there.

Sandeep - This is probably one of the most disturbing and disappointing things to see in an editorial. Rockville Centre residents have helped countless victims of Sandy by providing food, clothes and shelter to those in need. Rockville Centre Recreation Center opened its doors with donations (food and clothing) as well as vans and trucks. Rockville Centre opened school availability to misplaced students for months and continue to do so. This was all done even in the face of RVC residents losing their own homes or their parents homes. I understand you have gone through an awful situation but your anger is unfounded and pointed in an incorrect direction.

ATLANTA-- Angela Williamson said she was "shocked and devastated" to see her name in a list of 34 educators named in a Fulton County indictment related to the Atlanta Public Schools cheating scandal.
With tears, she insisted she is wrongly accused.
"I never, ever participated in any cheating. I did what was right for my students and that is to teach them," said Williamson.
That is something Williamson said nearly verbatim, just last year, when she faced a tribunal after being accused of helping students cheat on their 2009 CRCT tests at Dobbs Elementary School.
The tribunal exonerated her, but according to her attorney, Gerald Griggs, the school district didn't accept their findings.
"If the tribunal found her innocent, how can the same so called facts and witnesses be used to indict her," asked Griggs.
Wiliamson said she plans to fight the current charges she now faces that include racketeering.
"I want my name cleared. I want back what I once had," said Williamson.
She and others named in the indictment have until Tuesday to turn themselves into the Fulton County Jail.

I need to migrate from zimbra 7.1.3 to 8.0.1 (both are FOSS edition) and change OS from 5.7 to 6.3 , and need to change the default domain once migration is over.
I installed 8.0.1 in the new machine and used the import wizard and it could only import the accounts. How can I have at the minimum Distribution lists, aliases and forwards migrated along with the accounts and domains?
Every documentation I read is telling me different stories, and are old. So with 7.1.3 to 8.0.1 I am expecting migration should be really easy, with some tools rather than using rsync on same zcs version and later upgrading.
Any pointers would be helpful. Thanks

In response to Fletcher1's comment:
I criticized his response a little, but I actually disagree with the OP here. He doesn't need to calm down, so much as make his reactions more effective. I wasn't real happy with the response to Weaver because he essentially got 14 PIMs and put the team shorthanded for a shove and a facewash. I actually would have rather seen him come up swinging or take a number and pound Weaver later in the game.
I know it isn't a popular opinion here but I think Lucic got the worst of the exchange. Weaver doesn't get a scratch, draws two penalties, and takes a top line guy off the ice for a long time. I though what Lucic did was cross check Weaver (one penalty), face wash Weaver (2nd penalty) and then yell at the ref (3rd penalty). Not really a form of revenge, IMO.
So yeah, I like Lucic tough and angry, but you still hope that the reaction is effective at the end of the day. If Weaver got beat up, then you have a deterrent for the next guy. But what actually happened might just encourage the next guy to bait Lucic and turn to the ref. Not that bad.
I almost wish he went more nuts, or less nuts.
Lucic stalked him in the third period and put a pretty good hit on him behind the Florida net as soon as he could.
I don't think anyone will actually try to bait Lucic. That's like joking with a shark using your own blood.
