Configuring iOS for ISC Email
This article provides instructions for configuring an iOS device for ISC-hosted email.
The Exchange and Zimbra collaboration suites can be accessed from iOS devices in two ways: Via ActiveSync, which will sync calendar, contacts, and email as well as some basic security policies, or via the web interface, which allows access to all of the above in addition to account preferences, tasks, and full search capabilities. In general, ActiveSync is best for user who want to keep tabs on their email and do general calendaring on the go. IMAP connectivity to Exchange or Zimbra for Android devices is not recommended.
Before connecting a Windows Phone device via ActiveSync, new ActiveSync users must have EAS enabled by the user's LSP. In order for access to be granted, the user will be requested to "sign" the PDA Terms of Service. After that has been accomplished, the following steps can be performed to begin syncing data to the device.
iOS devices running 4.2.1 or later can connect to Exchange via Exchange Active Sync (EAS). This works for iPhones, iPads, iPad minis, and iPod Touches. EAS allows push notifications of emails and calendar events.
Important note: if you are setting up your iOS device to synchronize with an Exchange server, you should not attempt to synchronize your calendar, contact, or email data through iTunes. It is recommended that you disable syncing this data in iTunes.
The instructions below are based on connecting to ISC's Exchange server. Please substitute your local Exchange information as necessary.
- Launch the Settings app.
- Select the Mail, Contacts, Calendars category.
- Select Add Account...
- Select Microsoft Exchange.
- In the Email field, enter your full Exchange email address, e.g. email@example.com
- In the Password field, enter your email password.
- In the Description field, enter ISC Exchange
- Click the Next button. You will see a message that states "Verifying" and then a more detailed Exchange screen.
- In the Server field, enter mail.exchange.upenn.edu
- In the Domain field, enter kite
- In the Username field, enter username, where username is your actual PennKey name.
- Click the Next button. You will see a message that states "Verifying" and then an Exchange screen which allows you to choose to sync Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Reminders.
- Ensure the categories you wish to sync have the On toggle selected and click the Save button. You will be returned to the Mail, Contacts, Calendars screen and your Exchange data will begin to sync.
Your iOS device will now receive push updates from the Exchange server.
- Select Settings, then Mail, Contacts, Calendars
- Under Accounts, select Add Account..., then select Microsoft Exchange
- Under the Email field, enter the address in the email@example.com format.
- Leaving the domain field blank, enter the username in the Username field, followed by the user's local Zimbra password in the next field. (Note: The local password can be set/reset through the Zimbra web client's Account Services.)
- Select Next
- The device will attempt to Verify account information, and when it fails, it will allow an address to be input into the Server field. Enter mailbox.zimbra.upenn.edu
- Select Next. The device will verify the account information, which usually only takes a few seconds
- The next screen will allow the user to select which data they would like synchronized: Mail, Contacts, and/or Calendars. Contacts is disabled by default.
- Select Done. The phone will configure sync for Exchange, and when it finishes, the phone will be configured to sync data back and forth to the Zimbra server.
The device should also have a Passcode Lock applied, now that it is accessing potentially sensitive University data, in the form of contacts, email interactions, etc. If a Passcode Lock is not already applied, one can be enabled by opening Settings, General, Passcode Lock. The Require Passcode option should be set to no more than 1 hour, and the Erase Data option should be set to On.
Please note that the default timezone used by mail, contacts, and calendars can differ from the timezone used by the iOS devices for other applications. This can be configured by selecting Settings, then Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and scrolling down to Time Zone Support, and comparing it to Settings, General, Date & Time, Time Zone.
Web Access Instructions
- Visit http://zimbra.upenn.edu from Safari mobile
- Log in with your PennKey and Password
- At the next screen, choose Standard (HTML) from the type dropdown menu and click Login
You should now see the Zimbra web interface optimized for an iOS device.

|Soccer surrenders late goal
SAN JOSE, Calif. –
Idaho struck first, but the Vandal soccer team couldn't hang on in a 2-1 loss
in a Western Athletic Conference road match at San Jose State on Sunday.
Idaho junior Chelsea Small broke a scoreless tie at the
64:04 mark after Spartan keeper Meghan Maiwald came outside the box and
misplayed a long ball, which left Small an open net from 25 yards away for her
seventh goal of the season.
Small's goal should have given the Vandals all the momentum,
but SJSU responded less than a minute later with a score of its own to even
things up. The Spartans sent a ball straight in front of the Idaho goal and
SJSU sophomore Kayla Santacruz put it in from the left side at 64:42.
"Chelsea scored a great goal for us, then 38 seconds later,
we concede one," Idaho head coach Pete Showler said. "It was just sloppy – they
were hungrier than we were, and that's not going to get it done."
After exchanging back-and-forth scoring opportunities, the
Spartans connected on the game-winner at 82:11. Just a fraction of an inch
separated a goal from a save as Idaho keeper Caroline Towles got her fingertips
on a shot by SJSU's Kelsey Lord, but couldn't tip it enough to keep it out.
For the second game in a row, the story for Idaho was about
missed opportunities, as time and time again, the Vandals put the ball in play
on offense and found themselves with scoring chances, only to come up short.
"The defense played tremendously well, but we didn't finish
the chances we created in the first half," Showler said of his team. "We're
creating them, we're just not finishing them. It's just not good enough."
The loss drops Idaho to 4-8-2 overall and 0-2 in the WAC,
while San Jose State jumps to 2-9-0 and 1-0 in the conference.
San Jose State outshot Idaho 19-17 overall and 9-5 on goal.
After Idaho held a 13-9 shots advantage in the first 45 minutes, the Vandals
managed just four shots in the second. SJSU had three corners to Idaho's two,
and both teams were whistled for 10 fouls.
The Vandal women will get a chance to right the ship on Friday, when they host Hawai`i in the WAC home opener at Guy Wicks Field at 4 p.m. The Rainbow Wahine upset defending league champion Utah State on Friday in double overtime, and face Nevada on Sunday in a late match.

OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 8, 2012) - As part of Veterans' Week 2012, the Honourable Peter MacKay, Minister of National Defence, wishes to mark the 70th anniversary of the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service, better known as the "Wrens". Established as a division of the Royal Canadian Navy, the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service was created on July 31, 1942. This group of Canadian women volunteered to serve Canada during the Second World War at a time when women had not previously played an active role in the Canadian military.
"The Canadian women who volunteered to serve their nation brought significant contributions to the Canadian war effort during these turbulent years," said the Honourable Peter MacKay. "These women helped change the way society looked at women and the important role they could play in the defence of our country. Today women play an integrated part in all aspects of the Canadian Forces, and the Wrens can be proud to have played a key role in leading the way."
"These courageous women simply wanted to be in naval service at a time when there was a huge threat to Canada's national interests at sea," said Vice-Admiral Paul Maddison, Commander Royal Canadian Navy and Canadian Forces Champion for Diversity. "They willingly faced the inequalities of the day, did great work ashore to enable the success of our men at sea and helped push society into full acceptance of the role of women as full contributing members of the Royal Canadian Navy. Today, women serve as equals in the Royal Canadian Navy, as both regular and reserve members, ashore and at sea. I would not want to deploy a ship or submarine without women of all ranks among their crews."
Many young women signed up for the duration of the Second World War, putting family and careers on the back burner. By the end of the war, nearly 7,000 women had served with the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service in 39 different trades including many non-traditional occupations such as sonar operators, coders, and telegraphists.
When the war was over, the Wrens left the Navy and returned to their hometowns, but because of what they had endured, their lives had changed forever and nothing would be the same for them or for Canada. The efforts of these pioneering women helped open the door for the women who now serve in a broad range of roles in the Canadian Forces today.
Two new categories of membership now available. Associate members (Allied Forces, Police, Nursing Sisters, etc) and Social membership (Friends of the WRENs). Applications are to be sponsored by a Naval member and approved by the Executive committee.

This is by an author who summerized the " 60's civil war in the U.S." in a few short paragraphs.
I add in a long intro slamming the media etc. for reducing the 60's to ONLY the civil rights movement (leaving out the more radical/revolutionary currants like the Black Panthers), and the peace movement (leaving out the equally massive important- to way generalize a complicated mixed scene- anti-war/anti-imperialist movement.
I mention anarchistic tides such as the all over the map student movement that burned down buildings to fight en loco parentis- in the place of parents- fight for personal freedom and to be treated like adults- the effect of which, though modified, can be scene on today's campus's. I mention the hippies/freaks who were everywhere and anarchist if not conciously than in effect.
I go into womens/gay etc movements. The incredible revolution in creative music called "the soundtrack for the revolution" that was picked up in the underground of the Soviet Bloc whose lyrics could'nt be understood but meant "freedom". I mention BIG TIME that guys could be incredibly liberated to grow their hair long...
I give alot of play to the formation of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War which was the only group of vets in U.S. history to oppose a war still in effect that had plenty of effect as U'll see... much more...

Did those who are already raising Lenin from his tomb to render quick judgement on Syriza's abject world-historic defeat (without saying much about what victory would look like or require) actually bother to read the rather similar plans that Syriza put forward before the referendum and that were consistently rejected by the EU and IMF Institutions? This rejection is what the referendum was about. The resounding OXI was then used by Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras to secure the resignation of the leading political representative of the domestic ruling class (and former Prime Minister), Antonis Samaras, and to get all the party leaders with any such claim or ambitions to speak for that class to adopt Syriza's position on the need for debt restructuring and investment funds. One might even say that if there was a class crossover involved here it was the other way around, one that looks more like what Gramsci meant by a hegemonic strategy rather than the way it is presented from the perspective of those standing on Lenin's Tomb. ... read full story / add a comment

So at long last, despite all the meanders and sideways and detours of history, the logic of social struggles has finally put its stamp on the politics of Turkey. The resounding defeat of Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his AKP at the polls in the 7th June general elections in Turkey brings out into the open a loss of political clout on the part of Erdogan as a result of the successive blows he received in the last two years at the hands of the masses and, partly, his erstwhile partners.

On May 27th the United States Department of Justice issued a 47-count indictment against nine International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) officials and five executives of FIFA-affiliated sports management firms. The charges the United States pressed included racketeering, wire fraud, and money laundering amounting to $150-million over a 24-year period. That morning, the Swiss Government also arrested seven of the indicted defendants at a Zurich hotel, while holding them for possible extradition to the United States. The United States and Switzerland also announced that criminal investigations into FIFA's 2010 decisions to award the World Cup to Russia for 2018 and to Qatar for 2022 would continue.

By suggesting that the state of Israel should not exist, I am not being anti-Semitic. I am, however, being anti-Zionist. There is a distinct difference. An anti-Semite is someone who is prejudiced against Jews.

What should we call the current era? Post-everything? Or perhaps, the interregnum? Whatever the name it should be given, the current period is characterized by neoliberal trans-nationalization. In addition, U.S. hegemony has been under question since the beginning of this period. In fact, the Empire is no longer U.S.-American and a change in hegemony is in full swing. Despite what world-systems theorists such as Giovanni Arrighi suggest, the balance does not seem to be tipping toward China. Nevertheless, as Niall Ferguson points out, it is moving toward Chimerica. Furthermore, since the beginning of the global financial crisis, no project has been in sight that could reorganize the active consensus of the subalterns, move perspectives on accumulation one step up the ladder, and provide a position capable of establishing a new world order. ... read full story / add a comment

In the opening salvos of Latin Americas uneven lurch to the Left in the early twenty-first century, Bolivia distinguished itself as the regions most radical socio-political terrain.1 Left-indigenous movements in the countryside and cityscapes alike threw the state into crisis and brought two successive neoliberal presidents to their knees Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada in 2003, and Carlos Mesa in 2005.2 Evo Moraless party, the Movimiento al Socialismo (Movement Towards Socialism, MAS), leapt into the power vacuum opened up by this series of revolts, and there has been serious debate on the Left as to how best to button down the central political dynamic of the country ever since. In a country where 62 percent of the population self-identified as indigenous in the 2001 census, Morales became the first indigenous president through the December 2005 elections with 54 percent of the popular vote, assuming office in January 2006. He repeated this extraordinary electoral success in December 2009, with 64 percent, and again in October 2014, with 61 percent. ... read full story / add a comment

Over four years since mass uprisings ousted sclerotic regimes in Tunisia and Egypt, it can seem that the initial hopes represented by these movements lie in tatters. Libya, Syria, Yemen and Iraq remain mired in bloody armed conflicts that have led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands and displaced millions more within and across borders. In the pivotal case of Egypt, military rule has returned through the violent crushing of protests, the arrests of an estimated 40,000 people and the rebuilding of the repressive structures of the [Hosni] Mubarak era. Elsewhere, autocratic governments look more secure in their rule today than they have for many years. ... read full story / add a comment

And yet you have made it clear that you will not tax the wealthy (like yourself) who can afford it to cover the budget gap which you created. But I do not expect you to necessarily understand the hardships you are asking us to suffer, as I am told you are personally worth ten million dollars. Maybe you dont understand that taking $36 a paycheck out of my wages (which on average you are proposing for all plow drivers) is the difference between making or missing a mortgage payment, a utility bill, or buying a pair of shoes for the kids.

The Australian Federal election campaign grinds on, with most people being heartily sick of the whole thing. Neither the Liberals nor Labor are trusted by most voters and the major parties are horrified at the drift of voters to minor parties of all stripes. Anarchists have something to say about this, something deeper than just advising people about voting. We say if youre looking to fix the problems in society, Parliament is the wrong place.

Palestine-Israel, The joint struggle continue in spite of the drop out of activists* 02:41 Wed 08 Jun 1 comments
Two consecutive Fridays without being shot at after 11 years can destabilize even long time activist like me.... For 13 years the anarchists against the wall initiative and Palestinian partners continue the struggle even when the expectation for practical gains diminished. Changes in the separation fence/wall are less likely than ever. The remaining road blocks are the ones which are not just for marginal harassments. The diminishing hardship inflicted on activists opened other personal options than struggle. However, there are still a hard core of old time activists and some new of the younger generation. The contribution of the joint struggle to gains in the international support is more obvious than ever, and even less radical joint struggles continue in parallel like Sheikh Jarakh, Taayush in the south and "militants for peace".

The first years of the joint struggle against the wall had some gains that drew activists to the struggle. However, for years the continuous joint struggle have much more gains, but not on the ground for people to see with their eyes. Gradually both Palestinians and Israeli activists dropped out with not so many to replace them. Still, on the weekly demonstrations the participants - Israelis, internationals, and Palestinians are far from any thought on quitting. We see the changes in the international arena. Taste of it is brought to us by the international activists who keep coming. If the weekly demos reminded activists the activity of Sisyphus of rolling a heavy rock uphill to the summit just to have it down again, it is clear to any one who see the whole picture that the rolling of the rock uphill again and again is decimating the hill and may be we are not so far from the last rolling of the rock up the hill.

For Peace 17:02 Mon 25 Apr 0 comments
If we want peace, we must follow the example of the workers and worker-soldiers who ended WWI. We must build a working class movement which spans across frontiers and cuts the ground out from under the capitalist governments that have no solution for international problems but war. We must make a workers' revolution and overthrow capitalism. And only then will we be able to build a world of liberty, equality and solidarity a world at peace.

Palestine-Israel, New people join, some veterans left, pressures intensify... but the joint struggle... 17:13 Sat 02 Apr 0 comments
Last Friday (1.4) lot of anarchist flags again in Bil'in challenging the new efforts to put end to the Friday demos in the village. The long range tear gas cannisters prevent any interaction with the Israeli soldiers and stoped the demonstrators from exiting the village - like in the demonstrations in Bil'in eleven years ago before the intense efforts to put end to the demonstrations was replace with the contention of them; and like in the other locations - Ni'ilin, Nebi Saleh, and Qaddum where the efforts to put end to the demonstrations intensify. (So are with out the success the intense efforts to strangle the south of Hebron hills activities with other means.) People with keen ears can already hear the beginning of the countdown towards the end of the imperial settler colonial project in the East of the Mediterranean sea. May be the acceleration of the process is the result of the accumulation of the fiascos of Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Libya...more >>

Since 9th of March, across the French territory, an important and combative social-class struggle is taking place against the labor law by which the French Government attempts to impose a total restructuring of labor relations. By constant squatting in schools, colleges and public buildings, through reappropriation of public spaces on a daily level, with strikes and sit-ins in factories and in conflict with the forces of repression, French society ‒ especially the youth ‒ holds strong resistance against the attack unleashed by the bosses and the State.
Does Anarchist Movement in Iraqi Kurdistan, Bashur, exist? Jun 13 1 comments
This article answers frequent questions that I was often asked in the meetings and the interviews . What I said here in regards to Iraqi Kurdistan in relation to anarchism and anarchists movement I have gained through my own experiences that growing up in that society and observing the situation closely too. There is no doubt that some of the Kurdish and none-kurdish comrades do not agree with me. However, I am very happy to have discussions, debates with them as long as these comrades refer to the facts and reality rather than some paragraphs , statements from this book and that book.
Elections are not the answer Jul 01 Anarkismo 0 comments
The Australian Federal election campaign grinds on, with most people being heartily sick of the whole thing. Neither the Liberals nor Labor are trusted by most voters and the major parties are horrified at the drift of voters to minor parties of all stripes. Anarchists have something to say about this, something deeper than just advising people about voting. We say if youre looking to fix the problems in society, Parliament is the wrong place.

International Womens Day is a day when the womens movement around the world celebrates social, political and other achievements of women. It is also a good day for women to take a closer look at the oppression that flourishes through the double bondage of capitalism and patriarchy, and which is still an unfortunate and undeniable reality for the majority of women today.more >>

If you're a fan of Fashion Week, you know that celebrities such as actress Sarah Jessica Parker and fashion divas such as Vogue queen Anna Wintour are enviably slim. How do they do it? Get their diet and weight loss secrets from Eileen Daspin, author of "The Manhattan Diet: Lose Weight While Living a Fabulous Life."
Sarah Jessica Parker eats a variety of food. However, "she's also helped popularize the Blue Print Cleanse and has been photographed sipping from one of the company's baby bottle-shaped containers," Daspin writes. "The diet includes six juices a day, which add up to between 1,000 and 1,200 calories."
In addition, Sarah Jessica has used the Hamptons Diet, according to FitSugar. It's a low carb diet detailed in "The Hamptons Diet: Lose Weight Quickly and Safely with the Doctor's Delicious Meal Plans" by Dr. Fred Pescatore, who also authored "Thin for Good: The One Low-Carb Diet That Will Finally Work for You."
For exercise, Manhattan women walk everywhere, and Sarah Jessica is among them. In addition, she said in an interview with Good Housekeeping: "I do like feeling fit and healthy. When you're young, you can run around and not really care about what shape you're in because you wake up every day feeling OK."
But now Sarah Jessica agrees with Cameron Diaz, who documented her own diet and fitness plan in "The Body Book: The Law of Hunger, the Science of Strength, and Other Ways to Love Your Amazing Body." The older you get, the more you need to workout. Or as Sarah Jessica says: "But now that I'm older, I need to do more for myself."
Low-carb diet devotee Anna Wintour stays true to model tradition "through a power lunch consisting of rare red meat and a salad with no salad dressing," reveals Eileen.
In addition, Eileen says, Manhattan women keep trigger foods out of their home. And her own secret? ""I use a teaspoon to scoop up a few grains of risotto. I taste everything but eat almost nothing."

This Aqsa Christmas Light Necklace ($10) reminds us a little bit of something our first grade teacher might have worn every year come December, but much classier than we remember. Instead of wearing it with your best denim vest, add a bit of whimsical cheer to your dressy holiday garb. We'd think your kids' teachers might like them too (a lot more than another apple shaped ornament, at least).
Wow, thank you so much for sharing my Christmas Light Necklace!! Lots of other colors available too. :) www.Aqsa.etsy.com

According to new regulations finalized by the Treasury Department, employers with between 50 and 99 employees won't have to provide insurance coverage to their employees under the so-called mandate until 2016. Even the larger firms with over 100 employees would only need coverage for 70% of their full time workforce in 2015 and not until 2016 have to cover up to 95% of the full time employees as the mandate is phased in.
The mandate was originally supposed to take effect this year with the individual mandate, but has already once been delayed over the summer.
Furthermore, the coverage must include certain benefits that meet federal minimum value standards and cost no more than 9.5% of the employees income; the departments definition of affordable. The employer must also contribute at least 60% toward the cost of the employee plan.
The PPACA employer mandate, when it takes effect will require employers with 50 or more full time equivalent employees (Working 30 or more hours per week and excluding seasonal workers) to offer health insurance coverage to their employees or face fines of up to $2000. per uninsured full time equivalent employee.

U.S. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler will stay on the Small Business Committee while also serving on the powerful and highly demanding Appropriations Committee, which handles federal discretionary spending.
Typically, when House members are named to the Appropriations Committee, they must leave behind all other committee assignments. But they may receive a waiver that allows them to remain on other committees if it's believed that they would be able to handle the workload.
Such a special waiver will allow Herrera Beutler to keep a focus on job creation, one of her priorities in Congress, she said.
"For me, it's just been really helpful to learn what is and what is not working when it comes to small businesses and their ability to grow," Herrera Beutler said by phone on Monday. When it comes to job creation, "we've got a long way to go. … Statistics show most of the jobs in the last seven years come from small businesses."
The waiver request was made by the Small Business Committee, which is
chaired by Missouri Republican Sam Graves. The House Republican Steering Committee approved the request.
Meanwhile, Herrera Beutler will be the only House member from Washington state on the Appropriations Committee. Former appropriations committeeman Norm Dicks, a Democrat from Bremerton, retired at the end of last year. In the other chamber, Washington is represented on the Senate Appropriations Committee by Democrat Patty Murray, who also chairs its transportation subcommittee.
Herrera Beutler has said her overall goals on the discretionary spending committee will include curbing government excess and making sure Southwest Washington's priorities get the money they need. She also said she sees serving on the spending committee as a chance to be involved in the Columbia River Crossing project as it enters its next phase.
The $3.5 billion megaproject to replace the Interstate 5 Bridge has yet to secure necessary funding. Herrera Beutler recently announced that she wants to see the bridge project redesigned to exclude light rail, even though light rail is seen by CRC proponents as a crucial part of getting a key federal grant.
Herrera Beutler learned late last week about being granted the waiver that allows her to serve on multiple committees, her spokesman, Casey Bowman said. She has yet to discover which of the 12 Appropriations subcommittees she will serve on. Those subcommittees include areas such as transportation, energy, defense and health care.
"We're waiting with bated breath," Herrera Beutler said, adding that she should know by some time next week.
Herrera Beutler, 34, will be just one of a few first- and second-term lawmakers on the 50-person House Appropriations Committee. Of those 50 members, at least 10 others serve on committees besides Appropriations.

81 percent of SportsNation viewers think that Jets assistant Sal Alosi tripping the Dolphins Nolan Carroll was a fire-able offense.
SportsNation co-host Colin Cowherd disagrees, "I think you can suspend him but in this economy I don't think you fire coaches for making one knucklehead decision."
However, co-host Michelle Beadle agrees with viewers, "This could have been a lot worse. This could have resulted in a career ending injury. You don't want the representation of the Jets organization to be this."
Here are the results of today's other polls.
· 69% of SportsNation think the Metrodome collapsing was a bigger snow story than the Patriots dominating the Bears
· 21% of SportsNation is bothered that Tashard Choice asked Michael Vick for his autograph after the game
· 64% of SportsNation would have ignored DeSean Jackson's touchdown celebration if they were the Cowboys

Fwd: SportsNation Would Fire Jets Alosi For Tripping

I received this today. Seems to me that Cowherd is being thickheaded. The jets guy did damage the game and an example needs to be made of him.

I want to open a file then move to the next one with a keystroke.
I don't want to install a separate image viewer only for this.
Your question is like asking how to use Photoshop as a simple image viewer. As Sampo said, GIMP is simply not designed for it. Using GIMP in this way is like using a car to go from the kitchen to the bathroom. You can do it, but it isn't really worth the trouble and it doesn't make the trip any easier.
Depending on what Linux distribution and Desktop Environment you use, you almost certainly already have an image viewer installed. Here are the defaults for some of the most popular Desktop Environments.
One of these is sure to already be installed in your system.

In 1988, Sugar Ray Leonard defeated Donny Lalonde and was handed two world championships for the price of none. HBO's Larry Merchant sniffed at this. After a post-fight studio discussion with Leonard, he turned to us. "You may have noticed I made no reference to Sugar Ray Leonard winning his fourth and fifth world championships. This may be the sincerest form of flattery because the promoters have invented three titles for every two pounds. The fallout is that the word 'champion' means less than the fighter, who is or isn't one."
It's an old complaint, but the problem has become worse —exponentially worse. The sanctioning bodies are actively inventing new championships to increase their ill-gotten gains and thrive in the confusion. "These organizations hand out belts like business cards," sniffed Showtime's Mauro Ranallo last Saturday night. Boxing's appeal has suffered as a result. The U.S. has bad indicators in sports bars where boxing never comes up and on barber shop walls that display no autographed 8x10s that say "keep punching." Last week I was on Boylston Street in Boston looking for a little hope. I reached out to a fellow citizen. "Ten bucks if you can tell me who the middleweight champion of the world is." I held up a sawbuck between two fingers. "Oh man," he said, tapping his chin. I offered a hint. "He's Puerto Rican, bald, and tattooed like a sideshow. Throws left hooks." Silence. Then a far-away look. "…I remember when Hagler was champ," he said.
Mayor Tom Menino didn't. After the Red Sox won the World Series and the Patriots won the Super Bowl in 2004, Menino referred to Boston as "The City of Champions" and the people of Brockton, an economically-distressed city twenty-five miles south, came out swinging. They had laid claim to that title long ago, in the name of favorite sons Rocky Marciano and Marvelous Marvin Hagler. One Brockton resident was irate enough to challenge the rotund mayor to a boxing match, in the name of yesterday.
"The sweet science," said A.J. Liebling, "is joined onto the past like a man's arm is to his shoulder." We look behind us, and while that's always advisable in the red-light district, it also makes sense in a sport that builds so directly on the past. Our fighters, hallowed be thy names, are not only strong-willed athletes, but libraries of accumulated ring knowledge. When those who inspire us the most die, they won't be found moldering under crabgrass in some out-of-the-way cemetery like the rest of us. We recast them into statues, larger than life and forever young, standing guard in their old neighborhoods like Achilles in Corfu.
Some of them are kings.
We look behind us to see, what, if not successions of warring kings?
"We know who the real fighters are," Merchant said at the end of the Leonard-Lalonde broadcast. We no longer know who the real champions are.
It's the boxing historians, the independent specialists, who should have answers. There's squabbling among them to be sure, but they are more relevant now than ever before. They'll tell you Ray Leonard is a three-division king; no more, no less. They'll also tell you only two have conquered four weight divisions, and they happen to be the top two welterweights in the world today.
In 1937-1938, when Henry Armstrong stormed the featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight divisions inside of ten months, there were only eight divisions recognized. We call them "glamour divisions" and Armstrong held three of their crowns simultaneously.Only Bob Fitzsimmons matched this achievement (middleweight, 1891; heavyweight, 1897; light heavyweight, 1903), though it took him nearly thirteen years. No one else has taken more than two of those eight crowns; not even Sugar Ray Robinson, though it was only outside interference that stopped him. In July 1941, he easily defeated the first-rated lightweight in the world only to be left out in the cold when the lightweight king gave the man he defeated a title shot. In June 1952, he made a grab for the light heavyweight crown but was done in by heat prostration in a ring that would reach over 100 degrees under the lights. "God beat me!" he said afterwards in his dressing room, in his delirium. Think about that. Robinson, a welterweight and middleweight king, would have conquered four glamour divisions (a forty-pound span) had fate merely smirked at him.
Fate has been one big smiley-face for Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao. Between Armstrong's reign in 1938 and Armstrong's death in 1988, the number of crowns available jumped from 8 to 17. The invention and re-activation of in-between and junior divisions, some of which are only four pounds apart, has primrosed the paths to their crowns.
Now something unprecedented is within their reach; something that outshines the tin belts around it like the Nevada sun outshines dashboard lights in a car going nowhere: the fifth crown. If mainstream sports media picks up on it and is clear about what it means, it could spark something of a renaissance. It could return boxing to front-page news.
To lay hands on it, Mayweather must fight Jr. welterweight king Danny Garcia at 140 or middleweight king Miguel Cotto at 160. If he is serious about his legacy and stops confusing grandeur with grudges, he will come to terms with Top Rank and challenge Cotto. The middleweight crown would not only be his fifth, it would enshrine him alongside Armstrong and Fitzsimmons as one of only three glamour-division kings in the record books.
Pacquiao must fight Mayweather at welterweight or Jr. middleweight, or stablemate Cotto at middleweight. He therefore has three paths by which he can seize his fifth crown, two of which will see history's glamour-division kings become a trinity of diversity. The fact that the Filipino's first crown was at flyweight, fifty pounds south of middleweight, would make such an achievement as remarkable as Armstrong's, and that's nothing to sniff at.
Never mind the buzz leaking out of Mayweather's camp about his secret plan "to fight Pacquiao next year" —they're squaring off already. The question is which will face and defeat the right opponent in the right weight class, and do it first. That's front-page news.
Expect Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Redux in 2015.
The Mayweather/Pacquiao graphic is the work of Cameron Burns of Newcastle, Australia.
Springs Toledo is a member of the BWAA, IBRO, and a founding member of the Transnational Rankings Board (www.tbrb.org). He is also the author of the newly-released book, The Gods of War: Boxing Essays (Tora, 2014, $25). Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com for signed or inscribed copies.
I'm getting that book this week.
I still believe its a possibility. ....The world awaits. Mayweather only has another year left at the most.
If he still has the ability to fight at the championship level ....he should make it count for something. If he doesn't win the paycheck will make for an adequate retirement. Allowing him to maintain his lavish lifestyle.
Hollywood is not going to give the stiff acting boxer too many more opportunities after he retires.
Did any body see Mayweather's cameo in Think Like a Man 2 ?.... Needs lots of work.
I have a problem with this whole Pac/Mayw/Cotto era. They're great fighters but the traditions of boxing are being forgotten, swept away. I know this is a rant but here goes...if it's not at the correct weight it's a non-title catchweight match in my mind. Sadly, it seems everything is negotiable these days. Was Cotto-Martinez made at 159? If it was it, wasn't a middleweight title fight and shouldn't be viewed as such. In the same way Ray Leonard didn't really win the lightheavyweight title from Don Lalonde as the Golden Boy was forced to weigh in at 168. If Cotto and Mayweather fight with an upper limit of 156 it's not a middleweight title fight. I read PBF wanted to defend both his 147/154 belts against Maidana? That's impossible - either Maidana has to weight under 147 or under 154. If he's under 147 he's a welter, if he's over he's a lightmiddle. Part of me thinks the whole idea of being a 'champion' of anything is meaningless nowadays. You can set your own weights and still get sanctioned, what exactly is a welterweight anymore? I don't mind the catchweight stuff giving us good matches, but they should not be sanctioned as title fights if they aren't at the proper weight limit. This bull makes me think why don't we just scrap a century of history and classifications and say fighter A is fighting fighter B at whatever weight (fill in the 140-154lb figure) and forget things being for titles or mentioning weight classes? It's virtually where we're at. Rant over!!
For the record, anything below a weight division is in the division. New Jack attitude is the problem, not the weights and so-called catchweights.
Bob FitzSimmon was heavyweight at between 155lbs and 172lbs. Never was he a real heavyweight if somebody insists that he has to be over 175lbs for the division. Henry Armstrong won the welterweight title at 138lbs. So was he really a welterweight? Tommy Burns fought as the heavyweight champion of the world at between 162lbs to 180lbs. So was he really a heavyweight? When Da Manny beat Margarito for the light middleweight title, Da Manny was 144lbs. So was he really a light middle?
Fans and fanfaronades are bytching a lot about nothing. Boxing is always the way it has always been -- negotiable and corrupted and crooked as a banana. In other words, it is fine as usual. And making a lot of peeps do as usual: bytch, complain and go apesyet. Hehe! Holla!
Hi there.
Point taken.
If the upper weight for a Cotto-Mayweather is 160 and they both weight in 152, hell, if they weigh in 142, no problem, they could have weighted 160 if they chose and it's a middleweight fight if one is the legitimate middleweight champ. But saying a middleweight in a title fight can't weigh over 155 or 156 is the problem. It's no longer at the middleweight limit and can't be for the title. We need to be careful or we'll have welterweight champions redefining their weight class as 'up to 144' if you want a title shot. If they weren't sanctioned as legit title fights you'd have some defence against it. As the bodies sanction everything - Pacman/PBF/Cotto can do what they want and that's wrong. If Cotto fights Andy Lee with a 155lb limit is that a middleweight title fight? Not to me. Call me old-fashioned but if both guys aren't free to weight 160 it sure as hell isn't a middleweight title fight. Hagler v Leonard/Hearns/Duran all at 160. None of this rubbish.
I agree 100% I don't care if one guy comes in 50 pounds under the limit, as long as that is his choice and his opponent is allowed to weigh-in at the maximum for that weight class !
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Wednesday started off very humid with some leftover showers overnight as a cold front pushed through the region; the low at Philadelphia International Airport Wednesday morning was 73, but as drier air pushed in we had dewpoints fall back into the upper 50s and lower 60s across the region by the afternoon. Despite a northwesterly wind highs reached 85 this afternoon and that's because drier air warms up quicker and more evenly than moist air.
Overnight there will be a few clouds with lows ranging from the upper 50s well north and west to the lower 60s in the suburbs and upper 60s in Center City; Thursday will feature sunshine and a southeasterly wind which will propel highs toward the middle and upper 80s. High pressure will then provide a more southerly flow overnight into Friday which also means that the humidity will creep back up as well.
Highs on Friday will reach the upper 80s with an isolated shower or thunderstorm as a short wave passes through the region; Saturday will be in the lower 90s ahead of a cold front that will provide showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. After some overnight showers and clouds we'll have drier air thanks to a cool shot of air from Canada; highs on Sunday will be in the upper 70s with morning clouds giving way to sunshine in the afternoon. We stay on either side of 80 degrees for the new work week as well.

Ramsden Sextant
Navigating in the sea: this sextant was one of the navigation tools invented in the 18th century by British mathematical instrument makers that permitted mariners to find their position much better than ever before. The sextant became the most essential instrument for celestial navigation, used to find the angle of a celestial body above the horizon. Jesse Ramsden, who made this sextant, also devised a machine to divide the scale on the sextant very precisely.

The Bulls winning ways came to a halt as the Washington Wizards handed them a 102-88 defeat, bringing an end to a season high five-game win streak.
A more concerning issue for the Bulls is the slippage on defense that was an issue for the final three periods of Saturday's win over Charlotte, which they allowed 97 points. Washington shot 52 percent from the field and neglected the chance for the Bulls (17-19) to climb to .500 for the first time since Nov. 27.
The Bulls never led as they also committed 18 turnovers that led to 22 points for Washington.
"I thought Washington got their confidence against us early," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. "It is hard to shut off a team once they get going. I thought we came out to start the third quarter and we had some juice to us. Their defense was not very good; we got to get that corrected. I did not think we had an edge tonight. On that part, I have to make sure they understand what we need to win. We have to come out with a very high intensity level for us to win. That is the first part of it.
"I thought we were shortcutting things. If you're asked to set a screen, you have to set a screen. If you're asked to cut, you have to cut. It's all the little things. That's what separates teams. When you start looking past them and thinking it's not necessary, the result is not going to be good."
Carlos Boozer led the team with 19 points. Jimmy Butler added 12 and Joakim Noah pulled down a game-high 16 boards. Tony Snell contributed 12 points in 15 minutes off the bench.
Washington led by as many as 15. The Bulls got to striking distance several of times throughout the game, but couldn't string together consistent stops of scorers when needed.
The Wizards were led by Nene and John Wall, who both scored 19 apiece. They also got 16 from Trevor Ariza and
"It seemed like every time we made a run and we got the chance to take the lead, they just hit a big three," Taj Gibson said. "It was a tough night. Games like this (are) a wakeup call because it humbles you. Like when you're feeling too good about yourself, feeling invincible, a team comes in and smacks you and wakes you up to reality."
This can be looked at as a bump in the road as there's sure to be game film dissected on Tuesday at practice. A lot of players in the Bulls locker room were also surprised the Wizards were calling out all of their play-sets, forcing them into their third and fourth options. At this point in the season, most teams are used to the sets each other runs and more emphasis is placed on execution, which the Bulls certainly couldn't do against Washington.
"Overall, I thought we played hard, we just didn't play our best basketball," Noah said. "It's always (disappointing) after we lose. I thought I could've done things a lot better, finished a little better at the rim. I think I overpassed a little bit, but we come back and play them on Friday, so we'll be ready for that game."
Before the rematch, the Bulls will depart for Orlando on Tuesday to face the Magic on Wednesday.

His name is Atticus and he's taking the Internet by storm. Jessie McClain is a pet photographer from Maine who has been sharing pictures of Atticus through her Instagram account. She operates the business "Sit Stay Snaps" Now, a video of Atticus frolicking in the snow, rolling on his back, and spreading out as if he were making a snow angel has gone viral.
The video is just a reminder of how playful dogs are as pets. While some dog breeds are more active than others are, dogs are emotional creatures who, like Atticus shows, sometimes just want to sit back (or roll around) and have fun.
Jessie McClain is a talented pet photographer and videographer, as it is clear to see from the above video of Atticus, as well as her official Flickr account where she shares more of her pet photography. While you might not be in Maine and in need of a pet photographer, you can certainly enjoy this video of Atticus doing what many dogs do best: playing.

We are currently using Symantec Backup Exec with Desktop and Laptop Option for our Windows clients, time machine for mac and offer simple rsync to linux users, in addition to home folders that are always backed up and available.
We are not overly happy with the horrid complexity and multitude of minor bugs in SBE, but "when you don't touch it, it mostly works".
Ideally we'd like to offer a real and full backup solution to all clients, but mostly to Linux users, as they don't have a good alternative.
I have barely tested Druva on windows, and it is promising in its simplicity and "it just works" looks, but does anyone have experience with it?
This post lists some that I will look at.

Why is "Who's Driving?" needed?
When it comes to talking politics today, Big Government is in the driver's seat.
Pick up any newspaper in America. Or listen to pundits on TV or talk radio. What you'll see and hear is endless proposals for more Big Government. New bureaucracies, taxes, laws, prohibitions, and regulations. More foreign meddling. More government debt. Debates about how to expand government. Or how much to increase it.
When the mainstream media even bothers to offer an "opposing" point of view, it is limited to arguing against expanding government. Or for reducing future increases in government.
Rarely is there any discussion about making government smaller than it is today. About actually shrinking today's Big Government — and advancing liberty.
Even when conservative radio hosts bash liberals and their Big Government agenda, almost never do they offer concrete proposals for shrinking today's government. No real tax cuts, no real government spending cuts, no repeal of anti-gun laws, no removal of job-killing regulations.
Same thing when liberal pundits bash conservatives. Rarely do they call for ending the marijuana prohibition, closing unneeded overseas military bases, or repealing the Patriot Act.
Both liberal and conservative spokespersons promote the status quo — more Big Government. Despite impassioned rhetoric claiming that they're for freedom.
Big Government dominates conversations not just in the mainstream media, but everywhere. Proposals to shrink today's Big Government are rare even on the Internet or in everyday conversation. Even among libertarians and libertarian think tanks and publications, which talk more about what they're against — than what they're for.
This keeps Big Government in the driver's seat — and keeps the option of a small, Libertarian government off the table.
It keeps American voters in the dark about the many benefits that result from dramatically reducing government : prosperity, peace, low crime rates, freedom, justice, harmony, peace, better health, self-sufficiency, financial security, technological progress, jobs and boundless career opportunities.
Who's Driving?, a game created by National LP Political Director Carla Howell, teaches Libertarian candidates, leaders, activists, and virtually every true supporter of liberty how to seize the steering wheel — and leave Big Government at the curb. It teaches exactly how we get from today's Big Government to freedom: By replacing Big Government propaganda with attractive, credible Libertarian solutions. Who's Driving? empowers Libertarians to show voters why they're much better off with much less government.
Who's Driving? also helps Libertarians develop the knowledge they need to make their case for dismantling Big Government: existing laws and how they work, authorities of officeholders, and government finance. This gives candidates and spokespersons the credibility and confidence to be powerful leaders in the political arena.
The more often Libertarians play Who's Driving?, the more skilled they get and the more natural it becomes for them to regularly put a Libertarian agenda in the driver's seat.
While Who's Driving? focuses on controlling conversations, it also helps Libertarians develop a variety of other persuasion and political skills, such as anticipating and responding to objections, staying on message, and selling the benefits of liberty. Playing Who's Driving? dramatically improves candidates' ability to do interviews, deliver speeches, and answer questions, which magnifies the impact and effectiveness of their Libertarian campaigns.
Who's Driving? is more than just a great training for Libertarian candidates and spokespersons. It's a tool for creating awareness and acceptance of small government ideas among the people that Libertarians talk to in their everyday lives: family, friends, Facebook friends, fellow activists, and everyone they influence or encounter.

Time is money. More than $200 million has been allocated for Columbia River Crossing planning. As of today, there is no viable plan.
One local legislator has stated "the bridge will be built with light rail or not at all," a "my way or no highway" stance. That is a minority opinion among local state legislators.
C-Tran voters have rejected by a wide margin using a sales tax increase to fund operation and maintenance of light rail.
Local funding of light rail operations and maintenance is required to secure federal funding to build light rail. Voters have elected two Clark County commissioners who are opposed to light rail and a third that has said he would listen to the voters concerning light rail.
Light rail cheerleading by The Columbian editorial board continues unabated. It is well past time to move forward with a bridge that excludes light rail and is high enough over the river to satisfy the Coast Guard.

Sailing / Yacht Club , St. Helens, Isle of Wight, England, UK
Although designated a yacht club we very much cater for sailing dinghies and have some 250 dinghy spaces in our dinghy park in addition to 60 plus moorings afloat for larger craft including sailing cruisers and motor boats. Our dinghy fleets are very active and we have Fast & Slow Handicap and Solent Scow racing on most weekends, and some evenings when tide and light permit, from March to the end of the year.
Our clubhouse, widely used by our 1000 members, is a single story building, containing a dining area, bar and functions area, changing rooms and office and overlooks the harbour. The main Bembridge- St Helens road runs along the outer boundary of our dinghy park and Club house. Our extensive car park is directly opposite making it easy to launch boats from road trailers onto our two slipways.
We pride ourselves in having a friendly club with a relaxed atmosphere. Our bar staff and the Caterers are highly valued by the membership and throughout the year we stage a number of social functions ranging from the Summer Ball to the annual visit by Father Christmas.
Yachtsmen from other Sailing clubs visiting Bembridge Marina are welcome to enjoy our facilities provided they sign our visitor's book. We are on the opposite side of the Harbour, about a ¼ mile inland from the Marina and you can reach us by using the Harbour water taxi, coming across in your tender or just walking around the Duver. I am sorry but we do not have facilities to berth your cruiser.
We are an accredited RYA Training Establishment and have a strong training and cadet section. The highlight of our year is our Sail Training Week at the end of July /beginning of August where we have some 80 young and not so young pupils participating in RYA sailing courses from Beginners to Performance Sailing. During the year our fleet of Optimists, Toppers, Picos and Wayfarers are in use on short courses for our members. By arrangement these can be loaned out to members with the appropriate experience.

When Melissa's husband started cutting down trees in their backyard, she made sure to ask him to save a few of the smaller tree trunks for her. Melissa, The Happier Homemaker, had been eyeing those for a special project.
For the cost of a drill bit and a few votive candles, she created these gorgeous tree trunk candle holders. I like the organic feel of these. There's just something poetic about the combination of hardwood and candlelight.

Perhaps we can make this week be about fantastic wine bargains. Earlier in the week I blogged about a great New Zealand Pinot Noir for about twelve bucks, now I'm telling about what might just be the best white wine I've ever had at the $11 price range.
Let's start off by asking the most obvious question: Who was Fernão Pires anyway, and why is there an obscure Mediterranean Grape named after him? Well the first answer is that Fernao Pires is the same grape as one called Maria Gomes elsewhere in Portugal, which is where this grape makes its home, and has the distinction of being the most widely planted varietal according to some. But that's hardly a useful answer. Were Fernao and Maria the same person -- are we dealing with some crazy historical cross dressing viticulturalist? On this the oracles and experts of wine are silent, though not quite as silent as they were about Pedro Ximinez. What we do know is that Fernão Pires, aka Fernão Pires de Andrade, was a very famous historical figure in Portugal. As a merchant and official delegate of the Portugese government, he was on the delegation responsible for opening up trade relations with China in the year 1517.
What that has to do with wine, or specifically a nicely bodied white varietal that is blended into much of Portugese dry white wine and sherry, we may never know. What I do know is that I like it a lot, and thanks to the hard work of Paulo de Saturninno Cunha and Robert Kacher, it's now available from a winery called Quinta do Alqueve. Located 40 miles north of Lisbon, this small property has always been the Cunha family farm, but 20 years ago it was transformed through the planting of 100 acres of vines in the dry calcite rich soil. Cunha planted grape varieties from the Porto region of Portugal, and for the last 20 years he has been farming them with care: thinning the crop twice per season to keep the yields extremely low, picking and sorting everything by hand. This type of careful attention has garnered a lot of attention for Quinto do Alqueve, and it has been picked by several Portuguese journalists as the best young winery in the country.
Importer Robert Kacher works carefully with Cunha, as he does with most of his clients, through the fruit selection, vinification and bottling process, making the end product a collaboration between winemaker and importer. Kacher has loved Portugal for years, and spent some of his early career importing Spanish and Portuguese wines before settling his business to focus on France. When Cunha contacted Katcher, with the suggestion that he take a look at his wines, it was just the impetus needed to get him back to Portugal.
This wine is 82% Fernao Pires, which has been 100% destemmed and fermented in steel, blended with 8% Chardonnay which has been barrel fermented (though what kind of barrels and how new I am not sure).
Tasting Notes:
The color of pale straw, this wine has a mouthwatering nose of Fuji apples, fresh cut grass, and acacia honey. In the mouth it has the crispness and excellent acid balance of a great European Pinot Grigio or even Sauvignon Blanc, but with a little roundness and silkiness, presumably from the Chardonnay. The primary flavors are of unripe apples and pears, with hints of minerality and a little floral note as the wine finishes long, especially for a crisp white. Delicious.
Food Pairing:
Shall I pair thee with a summer's day? I'd be hard pressed to find a foodstuff that this wouldn't go with, provided we weren't in the meat department. You couldn't go wrong putting it up against a fig and goat cheese crostini.
Overall Score: 9/9.5
How Much?: $11
This wine may be tough to find. The best thing to do is to contact the importer and find out if there's a retailer who carries it in your area.
