The Freeman – Tiny Cob House Plans
The Freeman is a 120 square foot tiny home model made out of cob. Cob is a mixture of clay, sand, straw, and water. This tiny home model stands on the principles of being economical and sustainable. Almost all of the materials needed to build the house can be found in a local natural environment.
This tiny cob home can have many purposes. It's great for tiny house enthusiasts, homesteaders, preppers, business people, or anyone who just wants a little cob house. It can be used for many different types of accommodations too. The Freeman can be used as a home, an art studio, a shed, a backyard office, or whatever else you can imagine. It can also be used as a temporary home while building a larger home.
The total cost to build The Freeman model will depend on how resourceful and frugal you are. The cost could vary quite dramatically depending on how you want to build the home and range anywhere from $500 to $5000.
The home features an open cathedral ceiling which helps to make the building feel more open and roomy, and there is a built-in cob bench in front of the large south-facing window. There is also an upstairs loft with enough room for a queen size bed and storage. At its peak, the loft height is 4 ft. 5.5 in. and there is a small window on the eastern wall to let in the morning light.
Underneath the loft, there is plenty of space to make an office area. The eastern wall beneath the loft has a large window to illuminate the space as well as the light from the open living room. There is 7 feet of standing room underneath the loft so you will not have to bend over, and you can still put all of your normal office furniture underneath.
What sets this tiny house apart from others is that it is made out of cob. Cob offers many great benefits such as its thermal mass and ability to store and re-radiate heat. With its passive solar design and cob's thermal mass the home stays naturally cool in the summer and warm in the winter. To learn more, read about these 14 benefits of building with cob.
This premium design package includes more than 15 pages of construction plans. You will get: floor plans, electrical plans, transverse sections, dimensional diagrams, foundation plans, roof plans, loft plans, a materials list, and a tools list.
The Freeman tiny cob house is perfect for do-it-yourself builders, and its size falls within most building codes for no permit being required. If you want to create a living space that is efficient and beautiful inside and out then The Freeman might be right for you!

EEE found in Manchester mosquitoes
August 21. 2013 2:03PM
MANCHESTER – A batch of mosquitoes collected last week in the city tested positive for Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), health officials announced Wednesday.
"While the finding of EEE in the community is not unexpected, we want to remind all of the residents of Manchester to take steps to prevent being bitten by mosquitoes and to eliminate standing water on their property," said Tim Soucy, Manchester's public health director.
EEE is transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito that has picked up the virus by feeding on an infected bird.
EEE is a serious disease that carries a high mortality rate for those who contract the more serious encephalitis form of the illness.
Symptoms may include high fever, severe headache, stiff neck and sore throat. There is no treatment for the disease. Symptoms usually occur four to 10 days after being bitten.
The Manchester Health Department has an information line - 628-6003, ext. 325 - to answer citizens' concerns and questions about both EEE and West Nile Virus. The line is staffed during normal business hours but, outside of those hours, citizens may leave a voice message that will be returned the next business day.

I'm going to be completely straight with you, we're currently working on increasing our social media presence for Nexus Mods and have budgeted a small amount each month towards increasing our social media readership. We could certainly put that money straight into purchasing Facebook and Twitter ads, but I much prefer the idea of using that money instead to fund giveaways that benefit our users and that everyone can enter (even if you don't care about or hate social media).
To that end, we plan to run fortnightly giveaways for Steam gift cards. Anyone can enter, and we provide additional entries for users who join and interact with us on social media.
Why do we care about social media? We're using our social media channels to provide a steady stream of modding news and hidden gems for as many games as possible that Nexus Mods supports. For some, social media is an addictive daily habit, for others, it's the devil incarnate (with most sat somewhere in the middle of those two extremes). We find it a useful alternative platform for sharing things with a wider reach and a larger audience of users. I know from our engagements in these channels that lots of people appreciate it too. Which is great! We also understand some of you don't care about social media, and that's fine too.
This week's giveaway is for a £35 Steam Gift card (which converts to your own local currency on Steam if you win) which is roughly $50 depending on the exchange rate. To enter, all you need to do is head on over to our competition entry page, read our competition rules and enter your (very limited, don't worry) details so that if you win, we can contact you. That's it. If you want a few more chances to win, you can follow the instructions to increase your chances of winning.
As I said, we're simply testing these giveaways out at the moment and will see how people respond. If it's positive and we receive good engagement we'll likely increase the rewards as a result.
Here's that competition page link again, just in case you missed it. Good luck!

In a published letter over the weekend, former President Fidel Castro said Cuba's enemies were out to smear the island nation by mischaracterizing the Cuban armaments seized at the Panama Canal on a boat bound for North Korea.
In a letter dated July 26, Castro alluded to allegations that Cuba may have violated U.N. sanctions against the Asian nation, calling them an attempt to defame his country.
"In recent days there was an attempt to slander our Revolution, trying to portray (President Raul Castro) as tricking the United Nations and other heads of state," Castro wrote.
Addressed to foreign leaders who attended Friday's celebration marking the 60th anniversary of the beginning of the Cuban Revolution, the letter also reaffirmed Cuba's stated opposition to nuclear weapons.
The Panamanian government on July 16 announced the discovery of missiles and other military equipment on the North Korean-flagged freighter Chong Chon Gang, underneath a shipment of sugar.
Cuba said they were aging defensive weaponry including surface-to-air missile systems, fighter jets and engines that were being sent to North Korea for repairs.
State-run website Cubadebate said Castro gave the letter to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro at a meeting between the two men Friday.
Cubadebate published photographs this weekend of Maduro and Castro, who wore a white warm-up jacket over a plaid collared shirt.
Castro was forced to step aside by a near-fatal intestinal condition in 2006 in favor of his younger brother Raul, and is rarely seen in public these days.

I have very few pet peeves. Basically, I'm a pretty laid back individual.
I have very few pet peeves. Basically, I'm a pretty laid back individual.
But one thing that really gets by blood boiling on an annual basis centers around the WCHS-TV/FOX 11 North-South All-Star Football Classic. Don't get me wrong, I love the game. I think it's one of the best sporting events of the year in West Virginia. I've seen all but five of the games since it started in 1976.
The part that irks me about the Classic are the constant no-shows of players, along with camp defectors.
Each year, it seems, there are those who were chosen to play that wait until the last minute to inform the coaches and game organizers they will not be participating. This year the South got hit with a player (or non-player, I guess you could say) pulling that stunt.
The players report to West Virginia State University in Institute on Sunday each year to begin a week-long training camp. It's the chance of a lifetime for 74 young men (37 on each team). But when someone fails to give those in charge notice he's not coming, not only does it hurt that particular team but it also robs another individual from around the state the opportunity to be a part of this great experience.
Besides the no-shows, there are those who decide during camp that they want to leave. The North lost a player at mid-week this year. I mean within two days the game was going to be played and the week would have been over. I'm sorry, but that's just ridiculous.
Game organizers work diligently to make it a week the players will forever cherish. After two practices each day, the players are treated to swimming, bowling, the movies, a West Virginia Power baseball game and the North-South Basketball Classic during the evening hours. Besides three square meals a day at the State cafeteria (which is quite good), they also feasted last week on two buffets at the Nitro Moose Lodge, enjoyed a late-night snack at area Wendy's restaurants and were invited to a luncheon on Friday at the Governor's mansion.
I write of the issues of players not showing up and disappearing from camp because of the situation surrounding Ripley's David Hicks. The North-South Classic was going to be the last time Hicks would put on his Ripley Viking helmet. He was one of the players chosen to the original North roster.
Hicks, a Class AAA First Team All-State football player and three-time state wrestling champion, was so looking forward to playing in the Classic. It had long been a goal of his to compete among the state's best.
But just a few short weeks before Hicks was to report to training camp in Institute, his life as an athlete took a dramatic turn. On the day after he was recognized as an All-State football player at the West Virginia Sports Writers Association Victory Awards Dinner in Parkersburg, Hicks became very ill at school.
"I started getting really dizzy," said Hicks, Ripley High's Athlete of the Year for 2012. "My vision was blurred and I was seeing spots. I just didn't feel well."
After being taken to Jackson General Hospital, Hicks was immediately rushed to Morgantown's Ruby Memorial. After a battery of tests, it was discovered that Hicks was suffering from AVM (Arteriovenous malformation). AVM is an abnormal connection between veins and arteries.
Since the diagnosis, Hicks has had one surgery with two more to go. His sudden medical condition immediately eliminated him from competing in the North-South.
"It was hard not to be out there," said Hicks, the day after the N-S game (won by the South in overtime, 36-28). "It was something I had wanted to be a part of since my freshman year."
While he didn't get to actually play for the North, Hicks was a part of the Classic. Director Bob Mullett and assistant director Mark Montgomery – two of the greatest people on earth – saw to it by not only presenting Hicks with his No. 33 game jersey on Saturday, but making him an honorary captain for the blue-clad North.
Sure, it wasn't exactly what Hicks had envisioned a few short months ago when he was first selected to the game of his dreams, but he was touched by the gesture of not only Mullett and Montgomery but the entire North coaching staff, headed up by Tony Filberto. "It meant a great amount to me that they did that," said Hicks, who was out on the field for the opening coin toss, a meeting with officials before the second half kickoff and again prior to the overtime session.
Hicks is planning to attend Marshall University and major in mechanical engineering with a possible minor in political science. He dreams of one day returning to the football field.
"The doctors are hoping to get me back to doing the things I've always done," said Hicks, who will be away from football for at least a year to see where things stand.
Last week should have been one to remember in the young life of David Hicks. It didn't turn out that way, but he's also been looking on the bright side of his situation being detected when it was.
"They don't find this very often unless a person's been in an accident and they do a cat-scan," he said.
Regardless of what happens in his future as an athlete, David Hicks will long be remembered as a rock-solid competitor. In addition to being a great athlete, he was an outstanding student. Hicks, an Eagle Scout, has been a great role model to many, including his younger brother Daryl.
The no-shows and those leaving camp early at the North-South Classic display a true sign of selfishness and immaturity. It's amazing the difference between some kids and others when it comes to the way they handle things.
David Hicks has always been the kind of person who has appreciated all the good that's come his way as an athlete. He was always respectful of his coaches and never took anything for granted. Hicks has handled his dilemma with amazing courage, while realizing just how special it is to live where he does.
"Everyone's been real supportive," he said.
It's a shame he didn't get to play in Saturday night's game and also soak up the entire North-South week. But he was there to represent Ripley High one last time, lending support to his North squad.
David Hicks is a quality young man and a true all-star.

CAIRO (AP) — Several thousand Egyptians marched for miles through Cairo on Tuesday, marking the year anniversary of a military crackdown on Christian protesters that killed 26 people and demanding retribution against army leaders they hold responsible for the deaths.
Muslim clerics, Christian priests, activists and liberal former lawmakers joined the procession, filling large boulevards to memorialize the "Maspero massacre," referring to the name of the state TV building overlooking the Nile River where the violence took place a year ago.
The protest last year was led by hundreds of Christians angered over a string of attacks on churches and denouncing the military — which ruled the country at the time — for failing to protect them. Soldiers attacked the crowd, with military vehicles running over some protesters, while others were killed by gunshots. Almost all the dead were Christians.
It was some of the worst state-perpetrated and sectarian violence during the 17-months of military rule that followed the toppling of longtime ruler Hosni Mubarak. For many Egyptians, the scenes of bloodshed altered their views of the generals who had taken power, led by Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi.
For many in Egypt's Coptic Christian minority, the violence marked a turning point, ending their faith that the state would protect them in the face of increasingly assertive Islamic hardliners. Christian worries have only grown since Islamist Mohammed Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected president, came to power in late June, ending military rule.
On Tuesday evening, the crowd marched about six kilometers (four miles) to the TV building, retracing the route the march a year ago took. "The people want the execution of the field marshal," many chanted, referring to Tantawi. Others carried a banner reading, "Put them on trial," with pictures of Tantawi and other members of the military council he headed.
Tears and ululations were common along the long march, and young Muslim and Christian women held a vigil outside the TV building to remember those killed.
In a funeral-style procession, the crowd carried a replica of a sun boat — the curved boat that the ancient pharaohs would have buried with them to take them into the afterlife — with images of those killed in the crackdown. There was a large flag of Mina Daniel, a prominent young Christian activist who was among those who died. Others waved Egyptian flags with the Muslim crescent and Christian cross in a show of unity.
"The case won't die, and blood won't be forgotten no matter how much time passes," Mary Daniel, Mina's sister, told The Associated Press.
One marcher, Emile Saad, said the demonstration aimed to pressure the government to prosecute those responsible for the deaths. "We want retribution," said the 52-year-old Saad, who participated in the protest a year ago and recalled the bullets whizzing by him.
Outside the TV building, priests chanted songs to remember the dead and pray for Egypt to be saved. Reflecting their growing disappointment, and fear of an Islamist-ruled Egypt, they chanted with the crowd as a chorus: "Our free sons in the revolution humiliated the corrupt leader and turned him into a prisoner. But their brothers fooled them and stole the revolution from the squares. In the name of the law, they misled the people and chose a ruler for the millions. But the revolution continues and will continue to say no."
Former lawmaker Ziad el-Oleimi said the blood of those killed has "not dried yet." In a snub to Morsi, el-Oleimi said it was because of the many killed that Egypt got rid of Mubarak and elected a new president. He urged Morsi to live up to his promise to bring to trial all those responsible for the killing of Egyptians.
He said that Morsi "owes every martyr ... all those who died so that our country becomes free and democratic."
Addressing the crowd, el-Oleimi said: "You are the titan that scares every ruler. ...You are the titan that will bring anyone down if they don't bring justice for the martyrs."
An Egyptian rights group on Tuesday criticized the country's new leadership for failing to prosecute those behind the violence.
"A whole year later, the real perpetrators who gave the orders to commit these crimes haven't been brought to justice," the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights said.
A military court convicted three soldiers of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced them to two years in prison, a punishment the group described as "flimsy." It said authorities shelved an investigation into the shooting of 11 other protesters.
The military had defended its actions during the protest, saying at one point that the crowd "instigated" the violence. One soldier was killed in the protest.
The crackdown marked a culmination of a series of sectarian attacks against Copts, during which Baghat said the military's security agents "either stood by passively or actively participated" in them.
The Oct. 9, 2011 rally began as a peaceful protest against attacks on churches, which escalated after the fall of Mubarak, but turned into a melee as soon as the protesters arrived near the state TV building. Military police fired shots in the air to disperse the crowd of thousands, attacking some with batons to turn them back.
Then armored vehicles wildly sped into the crowd, driving back and forth over more than a dozen of protesters, killing 15. Another 11 people died of gunshot wounds.
Tantawi and his chief deputy were both awarded Egypt's highest medal by Morsi recently, prompting criticism that they may be exempted from prosecution.
But an attempt is being made to bring them to trial. Lawyer Hani Ramsis said a complaint was filed Monday to the civilian prosecutor against Tantawi and other members of the military council over the deaths. Complaints also were filed against state TV officials for incitement against Copts, he said. During the violence, aired live, at least one state TV broadcaster called for Egyptians to help because Christians were attacking soldiers.
Ramsis said prosecuting the generals may be easier now that they are no longer ruling the country.
"They (the generals) are now regular civilians," Ramsis said. "Before, the military used to try its own people. And how can that be if they are party to the case?"
At the rally, 32-year old Sama Kamal, said she was skeptical Morsi would bring the generals to trial but that public pressure will continue.
"We are just making our loud voice heard," she said. "We are letting him know we remember our martyrs and we will make sure they get retribution."

Hi all! This may be a stupid question but here goes:
Is there anyway to get someone to take an infected computer offline?
Despite receiving 2 attempts per day for over 3 months (several different worms and viruses) we have not been infected. However, 2 mutual business associates have been infected 3 times between them and this is really beginning to tick me off.
The infected system is almost certainly wide-open for whatever may come along, including new and unknown viruses and virus-types.
Is it possible the source IP in the message header routing info is spoofed? It appears legit i.e. the owner fits the profile of the type of business the infected email address is coming from.
Thanks for any help you can offer!

WWF-Russia protests orders for environmentalists to register as "foreign agents"
WWF-Russia19, Nikoloyamskaya Street, bd. 3109240 MoscowRussia
|Tel: +7 495 727 09 39Fax: +7 495 727 09 38 email@example.com
Moscow: WWF-Russia is protesting prosecution orders to at least five Russian environmental organizations to register as foreign agents, in compliance with controversial civil society legislation.
The orders went to five regional Russian environment organizations, with WWF-Russia highlighting the fact that the orders run counter to the legislation's exemption of "protection of flora and fauna" from the "political activity" that the act is targeted at. Moscow: WWF-Russia is protesting prosecution orders to at least five Russian environmental organizations to register as foreign agents, in compliance with controversial civil society legislation.
WWF-Russia has also learned that similarly exempted charities helping the disabled have also received orders to register as foreign agents.
Baikal Environmental Wave was accused of involving in political activity on the basis that one of the goals of the organization is "to actively lobby the solution of environmental problems in federal and local governments". WWF is now providing support to the partner organization.
Similarly, the Russian prosecution office has served an order to an organization helping Cystic fibrosis patients, on the basis it is involved in political activity because its Statute lists one of its goals as "the protection of rights and lawful interests of disabled people with Cystic fibrosis in government agencies".
"We believe that the Prosecution, bending over backwards to report to the authorities, ignores the current legislation and demonstrates miracles of bureaucratic zeal bordering on stupidity", said WWF-Russia CEO Igor Chestin.
"Activities initiated by the Prosecution against NGOs, which carried out at the taxpayers' expense, are evidence of the absurdity of the new law. At present not a single NGO registered as a foreign agent, so the authorities decided to prove the viability of the stillborn law by inciting the Prosecution against NGOs."
The Russian parliament passed the law obliging NGOs to register as foreign agents if they receive funding from abroad and are involved in political activity in November 2012.
While the law does not give a clear definition of political activity, "Activities in the field of science, culture, art, medicine, disease prevention and health protection, protection of motherhood and childhood, social support for disabled, promotion of healthy lifestyle, fitness and sports, protection of flora and fauna, charity, as well as promotion of philanthropy and volunteering" are exempted.
Environmental organizations known to WWF that have received notices are the Russian regional NGOs Baikal Environmental Wave, Amur Social-Ecological Union, Chelyabinsk fund "For Nature", Siberian Environmental Center, and Khabarovsk organization "Zelyony Dom".
Baikal Environmental Wave is among groups protesting the pollution of World Heritage listed Lake Baikal, the world's deepest lake, by a pulp mill. Amur Social-Ecological Union helped create 7 new protected areas in the Far East of Russia with a total area of over 1 million hectares.
Rights defenders and civil society activists see the legislation as a tool intended to erode their credibility and impact. The prosecution itself must comply with the law before demanding its enforcement from others, stresses WWF.

Amber Technology Nutraceuticals for Pets Vibactra Plus is a special combination of herbs demonstrated to help maintain immunity via your pets known antibiotic and antioxidant activities. Vibactra Plus is an all-natural herbal dietary supplement.
Vibactra Plus is an herbal supplement designed to maintain proper immune functions in pets with bacterial, viral and parasitical infections. Strong immune systems are important for pets fighting refractory pneumonia, intestinal illness (as an adjunct to Amber Technology's Parvaid and Kitty Distempaid), and the onset of cold and flu symptoms. Vibactra Plus may also play a role against airborne infection.
Vibactra Plus is a supplement designed for pets suffering from:
For dogs and cats, strong immunity begins with a diet consisting of good quality meat, (vegetables for those who are not administering an all meat diet) and a well-balanced mix of vitamins and minerals.
Essential fatty acid supplements are good for the skin and coat. Digestive enzymes and acidophilus will help maintain a healthy digestive tract. Keeping your pet exercised, clean and happy will maintain a healthy immune system. Amber Technology's Vibactra or Vibactra Plus can be administered twice daily to help support a healthy immune system in all animals.
Note: For any infection of concern, one must seek immediate medical assessment.
Country of Origin: USA

It is important to weigh your pet before administration of this product. Continuous use of Vibactra Plus without appropriate scheduled interruption is to be avoided, as it is associated with clinically significant listlessness, diarrhea and vomiting. As with any nutraceutical or pharmaceutical product, Vibactra Plus may cause an allergic reaction that may manifest as either skin redness, urticaria (hives), peri-orbital edema (swelling around the eyes), or as potentially serious respiratory dysfunction associated with laryngeal edema. Any suggestion of allergic reaction, even the most subtle, should alert the pet owner or veterinary health care provider to cease any further administration of Vibactra Plus and to assess for interventional measures for such a reaction.
One should have all of the appropriate emergency contact information readily available before starting this or any nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, or nutritional supplement. It is recommended that the pet owner, the novice in particular, discuss the use and side effect profile of this and any product with his or her veterinary health care provider.
Co-administration of Vibactra Plus with other agents must be done with caution. In the event of co-administration with other Amber Technology products, one must NOT mix Vibactra Plus with Kennel Koff , Kocci Free, HWF, Urinary Tract Relief or with the original version of Vibactra. Co-administration with pharmaceutical antibiotics is considered safe in most instances, with rare exception.
Two known exceptions are the co-administration of Vibactra Plus with the antibiotic Baytril and Tamiflu which may have caused an adverse reaction of clinical significance. Therefore, this product should not be given to any animal receiving antibiotics or other Amber Technology products unless otherwise directed.
Overdose of this product in a pregnant dog statistically increases the risk of miscarriage. Evidence of liver disease is a relative contraindication due to the presence of ethyl alcohol in this product (alcohol may be removed by protocol).

As the global luxury car sales contest started, Mercedes-Benz falls further with the rivals BMW and Audi. Burdened by a disjointed strategy in China, the lethargic expansion of entry-level models and an aging S-class sedan, the once-dominant upscale nameplate remains firmly in third place. The said car sales contest dragged the Mercedes sales gap with second-placed Audi which has more than doubled within a year.
An analyst, Christian Ludwig with Backhaus Lampe in Dusseldorf said that Mercedes's problems are homemade problems. And so with this, it's going to be extremely difficult for Mercedes to reach the No. 1 spot while others are not sleeping upgrading and keep on taking number of approaches to remain on top. On the first nine months of 2012, Mercedes delivered 964,900 cars and sport-utility vehicles. The 5 percent gain failed to keep pace with rivals, meaning it lagged Audi by 132,600 vehicles, up from 53,900 a year ago. The gap to No. 1 BMW widened 41 percent to 145,000 vehicles, according to data from the carmakers released by BP Holdings Blog. Mercedes has been trailing its rivals since losing the top spot in the luxury-car segment to BMW in 2005. The Daimler unit's sales will have advanced 19 percent through this year, compared with a 31 percent jump by BMW and a 70 percent surge by Audi over the past seven years, according to IHS Automotive estimates.
The failure to keep pace is reflected in the stock. Daimler's 12 percent increase over the past 12 months trails BMW's 18 percent gain and Audi parent Volkswagen's 44 percent surge. Daimler trades at 7.5 times estimated earnings versus 8 times for BMW. BP Holdings Blog mentioned in the release, Zetsche is seeking to reverse the trend by adding less-expensive compact models, including a four-door coupe and a sport-utility vehicle, to attract younger buyers and by expanding the range of variants of the S-class flagship, which is in the last year of the current generation.

On the first day of my summer internship, I looked at the expansive, white building that houses the Rackspace headquarters and wondered what I had gotten myself into. The first thing you notice about the space formerly known as Windsor Park Mall is the scale of the building: the immense, cavernous, beautiful space. In size, the renovated mall looks similar to the Empire State Building, laid flat on its side. As soon as I set foot inside the building proper, I was confronted with a maelstrom of new sights and sounds: the sales team erupting in applause to support a teammate who had just closed a sale, a giant slide running from the second floor to the first floor of the office, meeting rooms with every surface optimized for use with dry erase markers, and much more. The former mall , now called "The Castle" is a 1.2 million square-foot structure and houses one of the largest tech companies east of Silicon Valley.
Right off the bat, I had several burning questions about the company. One of the most interesting traits Rackspace prides itself on is the idea of "Fanatical Support." If nothing else, I wanted to conclude my internship with a solid understanding of this seemingly mysterious idea of Fanatical Support. This was crucial for me to learn on my first day as a "Racker." Plenty of companies I had interacted with claimed that "the customer is always right," "customer service is our top priority," "the customer comes first," ad infinitum. But what makes Rackspace so special is its delivery of Fanatical Support.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
My question was answered during the orientation tour of the Castle when we passed a wall dubbed "The Fanatical Jacket Ward." The wall was lined with rows of photographs showcasing Rackers smiling and posing in straitjackets. (Outside of the Castle walls, straightjackets are typically used to restrain persons who may otherwise cause harm to themselves or others.) I soon learned the "Fanatical Jacket" is an award given to a Racker who goes above and beyond the call of duty to support a customer—so much so that they need to be restrained because of their overwhelming desire to provide support the customer. It takes a certain level of devotion to receive the award. Take, for example, the time that a Racker placed a customer on hold to order the customer and his team a pizza during troubleshooting call. This was Fanatical Support, and Rackers literally went mad to pursue it.
I realized that Racker culture truly embodies fanatical customer support when I saw it unfold before my eyes during the orientation tour. Our group was walking on the second floor of the building, when we came across a ledge overlooking the Small and Medium Business (SMB) unit. Our tour guide looked over the entire department of about 1,000 people and shouted: "SMB! Please join me in welcoming our newest Rackers!" And at that moment, hundreds of people erupted in cheers and applause. It was like watching a thousand Charlies, and this was their Chocolate Factory.
Long Live Fanatical Support
I was less than eight hours into my internship when I realized that Fanatical Support is as much about supporting the customer as it is about supporting fellow Rackers. This has been the definition of my internship, and internalizing the notion of Fanatical Support has contributed immensely to my growth over the past 10 weeks at the Castle. The definition of Rackspace is Fanatical Support, and it's apparent in every detail of the Castle—from the photos of smiling Rackers in straitjackets to the enthusiasm of teams who cheerfully welcomed new Rackers. I have realized that our customers are not just another entry in a database, but truly an integral part of the Racker family. At the very least, our customers define Fanatical Support just as much as each and every Racker.

BERLIN (AP) — German postal workers have won a 5.7 pay raise over two years in a deal that follows a string of short walkouts. It's one of several current disputes in which unions sought hefty increases.
The ver.di union and mail company Deutsche Post AG reached the deal for some 132,000 workers Friday.
They will get a 3.1 percent increase on Aug. 1, followed by another 2.6 percent in October 2014. The deal runs through May 2015.
Ver.di went into talks seeking a 6 percent hike and staged repeated "warning strikes" in recent days to underpin its demand. In separate negotiations, the IG Metall union is currently pushing for a 5.5 percent raise over a one-year period for workers in Germany's key manufacturing sector.
The demands reflect the German economy's relative health.

The inaugural International Water Technology Conference slated for April 2-4, 2007, at California State University, Fresno will focus on how water technology innovations and science can help ensure future water supplies.
The goal of the conference is to bring together the best minds in the water technology and science arenas to discuss water technology and its applications in water supply, water reuse, irrigation and ozone science.
Sponsored by the International Center for Water Technology (ICWT), the event will include end users, manufacturers and innovators to cover a wide range of needs, applications and experiences.
"There were so many parallels to the research, technology and objectives of both of these areas of research and technology, it was a natural fit to partner together in this event," said David Zoldoske, Fresno State professor and director of ICWT.
The event will also include technical presentations and exhibits associated with Ozone V and its applications in water treatment, food processing and agriculture as it is used to inhibit bacterial growth in water and processed foods.
ICWT was established in 2001 as a public-private partnership dedicated to the development and application of advanced technologies that enhance water use for urban, environmental and agricultural purposes and improve water utilization. Through applied technology, ICWT's goal is to provide efficient first use and effective reuse of water supplies worldwide.
For more information call 559.278.2066. The conference is also calling for proposals from potential speakers, poster presenters and exhibitors.

No shortage of energy claims -- true or otherwise
You've probably noticed that a fill-up is a bigger drain on your wallet these days than it used to be. And maybe you've heard the cacophony of politicians telling you why gas prices have surged and who's to blame.
President Barack Obama is trying to strike a chord with beleaguered drivers by reminding them how prosperous the oil companies are. His opponents are telling voters the president could be doing more to boost production and drive prices down.
This week at PolitiFact, we're distilling a few of the claims from this gusher.
So far, we've rated a claim True that Exxon made $4.7 million an hour in profits last year. (Yes, you read that right.)
But we found another that Obama opposed oil exploration in Alaska only Half True.
And it's Mostly True that the U.S. is producing 14 percent less oil off public lands than a year ago.
There's more to come in the ever-popular gas price blame game, so stay tuned.

There are a variety of ways to enjoy the outdoors
on the Cahaba River
Many folks do not have their own canoe or kayak. Don't let that stop you! There are several ways to rent a canoe or a kayak as shown below. Also, joining us for a CRS sponsored trip is a great way to learn about where and how to get on the river as well as learning some interesting natural history along the way.
Both CRS members and non-members are welcome to come along. For those folks who do have their own watercraft, we encourage you to come along with us for our outings or to just get yourself out there on the river. The following options provide some opportunities to paddle on the Cahaba River.
Naturalist-guided canoe outings with Cahaba River Society:
1. Experience the Cahaba like never before with a guided tour with a Cahaba River Society! See the Canoe Schedule.
Commercial Outfitters:
- Canoe the Cahaba | 205-874-5623
- UAB's "Outdoor Pursuits" Adventure Recreation Rentals | 205-996-4913
Access to the river:
- Public Access points
- Public Bridges over the mainstem Cahaba River throughout the basin (see John Foshee's Alabama Canoe Rides and Float Trips, 1986.The University of Alabama Press).
- Civitan Park in Trussville
- Grants Mill Road Bridge
- Old Overton Road
- Lorna Road
- Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge
- Perry Lakes Park – perrylakes.org
- Sprott Bridge
- Old Cahawba Archeological Park – cahawba.com
- Private Land open the Public
- TNC's Pratt's Ferry Preserve
- TNC's Kathy Stiles Freeland Preserve
- TNC's Hwy 22 Cahaba River Access
People often ask us if it is safe to swim the Cahaba River. The Cahaba River mainstem is not classified by ADEM for "whole body contact" or swimming from the headwaters above Trussville down into Bibb County where the Cahaba River mainstem is joined by the Bibb County Little Cahaba River. So, swimming in the upper Cahaba watershed (the urbanized part) may not be a great idea until we make more progress cleaning it up. EPA 303(D) Designations are available for different parts of the river and are available from the EPA.
Here are a couple of river conditions that definitely make swimming unsafe:
- Following a rain…
After a typical Alabama rainstorm, the Cahaba River becomes muddy and rises quickly. At these times, it has been observed that fecal bacteria counts go up dramatically. Putting your head underwater is asking for gastric problems or an ear infection. Rather than swimming during those times, wait until the water is no longer murky. That will likely be several days to over a week after the last rain event upstream. Besides, when the river is even slightly swollen from upstream rains, the current can be surprisingly strong. Moving water can be extremely dangerous.
- Downstream from waste treatment facilities…Similarly, muddy or not, if you are in the upper Cahaba River below Highway 280 and above Highway 52 near Helena, it is also a bad idea to put your head underwater. There are too many wastewater treatment plants in this part of the river and it is just too easy for something to go wrong with the waste treatment plant's disinfection process to reliably submerge yourself in the river.
- Oak Mountain State Park
- Paul M. Grist State Park
- Tannehill State Park
- Brierfield Ironworks State Park
Alabama has four State Parks in the Cahaba River basin and a Wildlife Management Area (WMA) in Shelby and Bibb Counties that offer some interesting hiking. Most of the Parks have hiking trails, but Oak Mountain has the greatest selection of trails. WMAs are private lands open to the public and managed for hunting and some other activities, including hiking and camping. Naturally, if you do intend to camp, be sure that you are aware of the regulations and designated areas for camping because these rules and regulations are in place for your own safety, the safety of others, and to protect the environment itself from detriment. Be aware of local law enforcement and emergency services before you need them.
Federal lands in the Cahaba River basin include USDA Forest Service land and the Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge. A map of the management area is available.
USDA Forest Service – The Oakmulgee Forest has developed trails at Payne Lake (In Hale County, outside the Cahaba River basin) and lots of other trail-less areas for getting lost.
Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge has developed trails that begin from the parking area off County Road 24 east of Piper Bridge.
The Nature Conservancy has protected the following biologically significant lands within the Cahaba River watershed that offer some hiking opportunities:
- Kathy Stiles Freeland Glades (Additional Information)
- Barton's Beach
- Pratt's Ferry
- Highway 22 Canoe Access
Fishing on relatively small streams from a canoe is very different from the more typical Bass fishing experience. Having no depth-finder, no outboard motor, nor even a trolling motor (although some enterprising types do figure out a way to mount one on a canoe) might be a change for many fishermen. It can be very challenging to coordinate casting, paddling on moving water, dodging overhanging trees and the many other elements of fishing on moving water. But for just that reason, not so many people subject smaller streams to the fishing pressure that reservoirs regularly endure. The result can be some very productive fishing.
There are also some private lakes in the lower Cahaba River basin that offer great lunker opportunities for those who can manage the membership fee.
As for where to fish, I am a poor one to offer advice. So, here goes:
You can catch Crappie, Bass, and other sunfish in the pool above the Highway 280 diversion dam.
There are also a wide variety of fishing options available at Lake Purdy. Contact the concessionaire "Let's Go Fishing" at 205 991-9107
In the upper Cahaba River, stream segments below the Hwy 280 diversion dam receive significant nutrient loading from wastewater treatment plants. While this has impaired populations of some native fish species, it has probably enhanced the Spotted and Largemouth Bass populations.
In the middle Cahaba River, the Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge makes fishing accessible to shore and shoal fisherman on foot or for those using a jon boat. Bass and Channel catfish are commonly caught here.
The Cahaba Historical Park in Centreville, AL is also open to the public and you can find bank fishing and wading opportunities there. A boa launch is available there and a small donation for its use is requested.
In the lower basin, the numerous tree-snags are great cover for bass, but you would do better with some really heavy-test fishing line and snag-less lures.
The Perry Lake Park is another fishing option in the lower basin. The lake may not be the most productive fishing, but it is remarkably scenic.

SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) — Thousands of young men leapt into icy rivers and lakes across eastern Europe on Sunday to retrieve crucifixes cast by priests in ceremonies commemorating the baptism of Jesus Christ.
By tradition, a wooden cross is cast into the water and it is believed that the person who retrieves it will be freed from evil spirits.
In the central Bulgarian city of Kalofer, 350 men in traditional dress waded into the icy Tundzha River with national flags. Led by the town's mayor and encouraged by a folk orchestra and homemade plum brandy, they danced and stomped in the rocky riverbed.
In the Romanian Black Sea port of Constanta, some 3,000 Orthodox believers turned out to watch priests hurl three crosses into the icy sea. Dozens— some wearing diving suits— dived into the waters to retrieve the crosses.
"We the people are so like the sea," said Romanian Orthodox Archbishop Teodosie Tomitanul. "We hope that, as the sea has been calm until now this year, our souls will be just as calm."
Some Orthodox Christian churches, including those in Russia, Egypt, Syria and Lebanon, follow a different calendar, and Sunday was Christmas Eve, with Epiphany on Jan. 19.

"In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit." Ephesians 2:22
Suggested Further Reading: Colossians 1:15-27
At last they come to these stones. But how rough, how hard, how unhewn. Yes, but these are the stones ordained of old in the decree, and these must be the stones, and none other. There must be a change effected. These must be brought in and shaped and cut and polished, and put into their places. I see the workmen at their labour. The great saw of the law cuts through the stone, and then comes the polishing chisel of the gospel. I see the stones lying in their places, and the church is rising. The ministers, like wise master-builders, are there running along the wall, putting each spiritual stone in its place; each stone is leaning on that massive corner stone, and every stone depending on the blood, and finding its security and its strength in Jesus Christ, the corner stone, elect, and precious. Do you see the building rise as each one of God's chosen is brought in, called by grace and quickened? Do you mark the living stones as in sacred love and holy brotherhood they are knit together? Have you ever entered the building, and seen how these stones lean upon one another bearing each other's burden, so fulfilling the law of Christ? Do you mark how the church loves Christ, and how the members love each other? How first the church is joined to the corner stone, and then each stone bound to the next, and the next to the next, till the whole building becomes one? Lo! The structure rises, and it is complete, and at last it is built. And now open wide your eyes, and see what a glorious building this is—the church of God. Men talk of the splendour of their architecture—this is architecture indeed.
For meditation: Here, two days before the laying of the first stone of the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Spurgeon gave a timely reminder that the word "church" is a description of Christian people, not of any building in which they gather. Are you a living stone, built into the spiritual household of God (Ephesians 2:19-22; 1 Peter 2:4,5)?

June 8, 2012 — The Michigan House Health Policy Committee on Thursday advanced a three-bill package (HB 5711, HB 5712, HB 5713) that would impose several new abortion restrictions, including a ban on the procedure after 20 weeks of pregnancy, the Detroit News reports. The 20-week ban does not include exceptions for cases of rape, incest or fetal anomalies. It does include a narrow exception for when a woman's life is at risk, according to bill sponsor Rep. Deb Shaughnessy (R) (Livengood, Detroit News, 6/8).
The package could go before the full House next week and, if approved, would move on to the Senate. A spokesperson for Gov. Rick Snyder (R) said he would "closely review and evaluate the proposals as they go through the legislative process" (AP/WXYZ, 6/8).
The legislation would require clinics that provide six or more abortion procedures monthly to be licensed as freestanding surgical centers. Under current Michigan law, clinics are required to be licensed if more than half of their patients receive abortion care.
The package also would ban physicians from using telemedicine to provide medication abortion (Detroit News, 6/8). The bill also would impose new requirements for disposing of fetal remains and require health providers to screen women to see if they had been coerced into seeking abortions (AP/WXYZ, 6/8).
Meghan Groen, a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood Mid and South Michigan, said the legislation "could shut down most reproductive health centers in the state," adding, "It's the most extreme legislation we're seeing anywhere in the country" (Bassett, Huffington Post, 6/7).
Supporters of the bills called the provisions common-sense and overdue, according to the AP/WXYZ. They said the measures will improve women's safety (AP/WXYZ, 6/8).

Pilgrim to step back through decades at golden anniversary
It was cold Monday, Jan. 29, 1963. The temperature didn't rise above 22 degrees and undoubtedly there was a layer of snow blanketing the ground. On the radio, Joey Dee and the Starliters belted out their number one hit, "Peppermint Twist." Just down the dial would have been the Beatles crooning their popular new release, "I Want to Hold Your Hand."
JFK was president.
Gas was 29 cents at the pump and a loaf of Wonder bread could be found on the shelves of Almacs. It cost 22 cents. Life was somehow easier back then, or so it seems in hindsight.
In Warwick, life was busy – and crowded, for that matter. In order to accommodate all the high school-aged students, Veterans Memorial High School was in double sessions. With 3,900 students, things were tight.
Anticipation was building for the unveiling of a new school on Pilgrim Parkway. The Vets football team had made an important 7-6 victory over its arch-rival, Cranston East, when late in the fourth quarter player Jim Foster scored and then picked up the extra point for the win. Michael Walder was soon to be selected as class valedictorian, having already earned high praise in both English and science. Rosalie Wheeler had just been given a "first division rating" for her soprano solo in the New England Solo and Ensemble Festival in Boston. Vacation reading assignments had been completed: "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway and "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee topped the list. The city was in motion, and change was in the air.
By the time that chilly January day arrived, Warwick was abuzz with excitement at the pending grand opening of its new and still untested school, Pilgrim High School. On that Monday, 50 years ago, the first students crossed the threshold of their sparkling new school – a model of shiny classrooms filled with new desks, of hallways void of skid marks or cast-off wads of paper, of a "dining hall" waiting to serve up its first hot meals, of a gymnasium ready to host its first division basketball game, and of an auditorium bedecked with "cypress green and rust curtains," "a wavy plaster ceiling that serves as an acoustical barrier" and 150 seats with folding tops for note taking. There were even landscaped courtyards spread throughout; one designated just for seniors. It was a sight to behold.
Patty Thompson (Donilon), Class of 1965, was a sophomore when the big move was announced. She recalls with a youthful enthusiasm the thrill of entering her new school for the first time.
"It was so big and sprawling! It was all so new and pretty. The courtyards were just beautiful. We all thought they were the coolest things." She especially loved the new "dining hall" (it was not to be called a "cafeteria" under any circumstances). "Everybody was so excited. We had many dances in that dining hall."
Thompson describes how efficiently the big move had been planned and was ultimately orchestrated. At Vets, all the students who were within the new school's boundaries were in the same classes, so when the time came to move – all those students traveled together. Thompson remembers that the school secretary separated attendance rolls for the eventual Pilgrim students, and that when they moved, they even brought all their books. Despite the mid-year timing and cold weather, the move went as planned. Pilgrim was now theirs.
Fast forward to January 2013. In 1963, Marie Cote, Pilgrim's first female and alum principal, was 10 years away from enrolling at Pilgrim. Cote is now, as she was then, a "Patriot" through and through. She has returned to the school over the course of her entire adult life. Pilgrim is where she is most comfortable, amongst the students who know her well because Cote is a familiar and constant presence here.
"I am a Patriot. I bleed Black and White. Once a Patriot, always a Patriot. End of story," Cote says with affection and conviction. This is why she is so passionate about celebrating Pilgrim's 50th anniversary.
As plans got underway for the upcoming celebration, a mysterious package arrived on Cote's desk. Although from an anonymous sender, its origin could be traced to a community college in Fairfield, Calif. The manila envelope contained a series of newspapers dating back to 1962 – all from Veterans Memorial High School (the Hurricane Herald) and the first few school papers published at Pilgrim, The Compact. Filled with announcements about the pending dedication of the new school (held on Dec. 30, 1962), the new principal (Mr. Michael Morry) and all the usual fare of school newspapers, these relics of another time provided a treasure trove of photographs, stories, memorabilia and history. These rare finds – sent from an uncertain source with only the words, "Thought you might want these," attached on a post note – created the perfect springboard for a perfect celebration.
Cote and a close-knit group of talented faculty have been busy these past few months planning an event befitting such a momentous occasion. Beside her most of the time is her sister Marilyn Massey, who has been working her magic scanning photos that are all part of the celebration.
Listening in on them discuss the details of the fete, one would think they are planning nothing short of a Broadway production. Amidst fits of laughter and friendly ribbing, this cadre of lively and dedicated teachers – Christopher Pratt, Pilgrim's band leader for 26 years, Brian Callahan and Richard Denningham, both English teachers for 14 and 11 years respectively, and finally Jacqueline Soares, the relative novice of the group as the three-year choral director – are putting their creative genius together for a night of revelry, music, laughter, nostalgia and a long and winding walk down memory lane.
This Saturday, students from Pilgrim's band, chorus and drama departments will showcase the passing of the decades through music and dramatic "flashbacks." Upwards of 100 performers will take the audience on a journey through the ages.
Unlike Pilgrim's first band, which performed selections from Vivaldi and Gershwin at the school's dedication, Pratt's 82-member band will entertain with popular numbers from the '70s and '90s, including an "incredible medley of disco music." Meanwhile, 81 members of the chorus will perform some unforgettable hits from the '60s and '80s. One number will be from teen heartthrob Bon Jovi, whose star power has extended to this generation. A musical collaboration will end the night with familiar tunes from the 2000s, which will undoubtedly sound nothing like Joey Dee and the Starlites.
Throughout the evening and under the watchful eye of writers Denningham and Callahan, the students will re-enact scenes depicting the lives of a typical high school coed across the decades – with all the drama, comedy, trials and challenges of being a teenager. Exploring timeless issues of love, war, race and gender, these vignettes will be both thought provoking and humorous – perhaps touching a chord in the hearts of many generations of alumni who will be in attendance.
A gallery of sorts is also being created where photographs that were taken back in the early '60s will be recreated by the students, many of whom are either the children or grandchildren of Pilgrim's alumni. Including amongst the photographs will be Lauren Picard, daughter of Andrew Picard, alumni and "Class Clown" of the Class of '84. Picard, a senior, was just voted by her classmates as the student who is "Most likely to return to Pilgrim as a teacher." Pilgrim High School has come full circle.
Pilgrim's 50th Anniversary celebration will be held on Saturday, Feb. 2 in the Pilgrim High School Auditorium, beginning at 7 p.m. Cote expects planned activities to last about 90 minutes and may include a "roll call" by class of alumni in attendance. Admission is free and all, whether a Pilgrim alum or not, are welcome. As a special preview of the band's performance, guests are invited to a band concert to be held this evening, Thursday the 31st, also at 7 and also free to the public.
The time has come to shutter this dump.
I wonder if the rumor is still circulating that "Pilgrim is sinking back into the swamp it was built on".....?
Not a rumor. The sump pumps run 24/7
The active reunion committee for the combined class of 1963 (Pilgrim and Warwick Vets) the very first for Pilgrim, is meeting as this comment is being written. A committee member brought a copy of your Beacon article to this meeting so we decided to comment. As a group, we were amazed that nobody contacted any of us and would not have even known about this Saturday anniversary event.
Anyway, we, the Reunion Committee want everybody to know about the upcoming combined class reunion scheduled for October 4th, 5th and 6th. There will be events available for each and all days. This reunion follows the tradition of the original split and the combined reunions held since then.
The committee has worked hard to locate all of the students in our class. Of the 632 students, we have located 416 and have valid addresses and email addresses. We have 72 who are deceased and 141 still not found (missing) and 9 who fall into another group.
I believe that some of us will show up on Saturday night.
From the class of 1963 reunion committee ...remember that there is a website for our class.
You can copy this address into your web browser.
There is a special page for sending us any info you may want to offer to us that we can use to make this upcoming reunion the absolute best ever for a graduating class from high school in Warwick, RI
Thanks ... :)

Thanks in advance for your knowledgable responses.
I recently purchased an Ipaq handheld computer (PDA). I added an 802.11b wifi card to it so I can do some auditing.
I haven't installed Linux on it as yet to use kismet, so it has the default OS, Pocket 2003. What I'd like to find out, is with the default OS, is there a tool that I can use to decrypt an ESSID. I already have tools to alert me to a wifi hotspot, with Mac, channel and type of connection. What I need is to decrypt an ESSID (encypted SSID). A tools similar to wepcrack, but for Pocket 2003.
Thanks again for your assistance.

Using Technology to Achieve Superlative Client Communications
Communication breakdown causes a lot of trouble for lawyers—it's one of the biggest factors leading to malpractice claims. Easy-to-use technology tools combined with commonsense business practices can help keep you in touch and improve client service and communications.
Managing the matter. Showing clients that you are truly serving them well means demonstrating that you are staying on top of their matters. You should know—or at least be able to quickly look up—the status of a matter at any given point in time. And, of course, you also need to meet deadlines and follow up on things as required or promised. There is no better tool for doing this than practice management software.
There are a number of options on the market, such as Amicus Attorney ( www.amicusattorney.com), PracticeMaster ( www.tabs3.com), Time Matters ( www.timematters.com), ProLaw ( www.elite.com), and others. These products let you manage client and case information, including contacts, calendaring, documents, and other specifics, by facilitating automation of the wealth of information in your law practice.
Remember to use your program's report function to create an instant summary of activity on client files, either on a monthly basis or for inclusion in reporting letters.
Using invoices as communication tools. From your clients' point of view, the most memorable communication from you will be your bill for services rendered. Make your most memorable form of communication more informative with these tips:
• ‑Use software to create effective, professional-looking invoices that clients can easily decipher. Practice management and time-and-billing programs are great for this.
• ‑Provide reasonably descriptive time entries that will help remind clients of all the work done for them.
• ‑Prepare for the client a complete reporting letter for interim accounts and especially for final accounts.
Managing client relationships. Client relationship management (CRM) applications take matter management and client communication to the next level. Some practice management software programs have built-in CRM functionality. Others integrate with stand-alone CRM programs such as Act! ( www.act.com) or InterAction ( www.interaction.com). Still others, such as ContactEase ( www.colevalley.com), are designed to integrate with Microsoft Outlook.
CRM programs allow lawyers to leverage what everyone throughout the firm knows about a client—contact information, current or past matters handled, personal information (such as birthdays and anniversaries), and other related information. Armed with this information, you can then act on it.
Although CRM software often is considered a client development tool, remember that existing clients are usually your best source of new clients. So use your technology to keep tabs on them and keep them happy at the same time.
Being responsive on the go. It's nice to be able to check voice mail and return calls via cell phone while you are out of the office. But the real boons for today's busy lawyers are the truly "smart" phones such as the BlackBerry, Treo, iPhone, Palm Centro, and others. These devices allow real-time e-mail, calendar and contacts, web browsing, document access, and more.
Even if you're tied down elsewhere, you can send a quick acknowledgement to your clients that their e-mails or document attachments have been received and a fuller response is being crafted—this will go far to helping the client realize that while you are currently away from your office, you are still on top of the case.
But a caution here: Mobile technology can create work-life balance issues. You have many matters to work on, and you need some downtime, too. Set and control clients' expectations about your availability—and how and when they can communicate with you.
Conferencing on the web. Web conferencing tools let you hold real-time online meetings with clients and others when time and distance prohibit an in-person discussion. And with all the bells and whistles that are built into online conferencing services today, you can do just about everything you can do at an in-person meeting.
The most popular products in this category are WebEx ( www.webex.com), GoToMeeting ( www.gotomeeting.com), and Acrobat Connect ( www.adobe.com/products/acrobatconnect). They offer many different options, including voice and video communications, document review and collaboration, desktop sharing, whiteboards, presentation capabilities, and more. Many of these services also provide "always on" capability, meaning that a web conference can be held at a moment's notice, as opposed to having to preschedule the meeting. These services seldom require more than an Internet connection, a telephone, and a subscription.
Extranets are another way to give clients access to documents and work product for their review, approval, and collaboration. An extranet is essentially an online document repository that allows access to files and folders based on password authentication. To keep costs down, however, most small firms will want to opt for one of the extranet hosting services, rather than taking this on in-house.
Keeping clients top of mind. You may use a clipping service to keep up with legal news or cases, but what about being able to "auto-magically" receive and forward client-related news or information? There are several free tools that can help you proactively communicate with clients on this level.
For one, you can create free Google Alerts ( www.google.com/alerts) to receive e-mail notices every time any instance of a client's name or industry appears in the news or on the web. You can set up alerts for any search terms or phrases related to your key clients. You then send the links you receive to your clients, letting them know you saw the items and thought the news might be of interest to them. This will show your dedication to keeping them abreast of breaking information that is relevant to them. For a nominal monthly fee, the more powerful Google Alert lets you do more.
Similarly, free services such as Google Notebook ( www.google.com/notebook) and Ask.com's MyStuff ( http://mystuff.ask.com) allow you to share informational links with clients, rather than e-mailing the links. Simply set up a topical folder of interest to the client, share the folder with the client, then add article links and annotations to the folder, and voilà, the client can view the shared folder, which points to the headline, the link, and the annotation you provide. This type of activity is easy and proactive and helps clients feel as if their lawyer is truly their advocate.
Did I serve you well? When it comes to communication, listening is just as important as talking. In other words, you must remember to stop, look, and actively listen to your clients at all stages of a matter. An end-of-the-matter client satisfaction survey can be especially helpful. This is very easy and inexpensive using online survey tools such as SurveyMonkey ( www.surveymonkey.com) and Zoomerang ( www.zoomerang.com).
Gathering data about the success of communication and representation, regardless of the outcome of the matter, helps establish whether the client's needs were met. By carefully reviewing any negative feedback you get, you can learn how and where to make improvements in your client communication and services. Establishing and meeting expectations regarding communication methods and frequency are giant steps in ensuring clients are satisfied with your representation of them. Plus, an informed and happy client will be far less likely to sue you for malpractice. So dive in and use technology to enhance your client service and communication today.

Mount Saint Mary, 2
Game 2
Farmingdale, 9
Mount Saint Mary, 4
Farmingdale, N.Y. - The Farmingdale State baseball team (17-12, 9-5 Skyline) swept a conference doubleheader against visiting Mount Saint Mary College (8-13, 5-7 Skyline) by the score of 14-2 and 9-4. Sophomore Tom Heeman (Valley Stream, N.Y./Hewlett) picked up the win with a strong outing, allowing only one run while striking out five in six and a third innings. Freshman James Raimondi (Medford, N.Y./Patchogue-Medford) got the victory in the second game, pitching five innings and giving up three runs on five hits.
In the first game, the Rams offense was lead by junior center fielder Anthony Mazzilli (North Babylon, N.Y./Nassau CC) with a double and triple. Mazzilli finished both games 4-for-6 with five RBIs and a run scored. Freshman Zach Nersesian (Nyack, N.Y./Nyack) added a single, triple, and two runs batted in. Senior third baseman Ryan Pembroke (Wading River, N.Y./Shoreman Wading River) added the long ball off the bench with a solo home run to left field.
Junior second baseman Pete Schuermann lead the Blue Knights' offense going 2-for-4 with an RBI.
In the second game, junior shortstop Brian Benvenuto stepped it up for Farmingdale with three singles, three RBIs and two runs scored. Benvenuto finished the day 5-for-7 with a pair of stolen bases. Nersesian added two run-scoring singles and a stolen base in the second match up.
Mount Saint Mary's senior first baseman Damon Kennedy (Bridgeport, N.Y/Central) batted in a pair on a single and a fielders' choice. Junior designated hitter Anthony Forgione (Franklin Square, N.Y./Valley Stream North) added a single, double, triple and an RBI for the day. Schuermann added two singles and stolen base in the second.
The Rams will face Polytech tomorrow at 3:00pm in a non-conference match up at Keyspan Park (home of the Brooklyn Cyclones) in Brooklyn, N.Y. Farmingdale will look to solidify a playoff spot in the four-team Skyline Conference Tournament next weekend with two away conference doubleheaders against Stevens on Saturday and Mount Saint Vincent on Sunday, both slated to start at Noon. The Rams are currently tied for fourth with Stevens in the Skyline standings.
