You can now run the command I gave you earlier. If you don't have ssh acces then I assume you can login to a normal mail account? Login to the Web UI and enter the following in the Zimbra search bar:Code:su - zimbra
It should pop-up a box telling you which version & release you've got. Although, from your list of available downloads I would suspect you have the Open Source version i.e. the one without the Outlook Connector.Code:$set: get version
Hi again and many many thanks for your quick answers!
I answered you earlier and i updated my profile which the information you asked for But my mistake, because i edited a post instead writing a new one.
1-yes, i have access via ssh and i managed to get into zimbra configuration files.
2-i do not want to move to another MTA, because i guess nothing is wrong with zimbra, but:
a) the server is not in production yet because the last admin went away, and ,after the tests i run and after the how-to-s i have read, i will need for all the users with MS Outlook this connector
b) i will have to move to something else IF i will not be able to get along with this one.
3- i have even installed Zimbra desktop, tring to bypass the MS Outlook, but it also not working like i supposed (calendar not updating etc...)..
As I mentioned earlier, the Outlook Connector is an NE feature and that's a paid-for version of Zimbra.
You'll need to give specific examples of what problems you're encountering with ZCS and Zimbra Desktop and what you're trying to do with the Outlook Connector. Some idea of the number of users on this system might be useful.
I understood
So, the company has around 150-200 e-mail adresses. The people is spread all over the country..They had in the past a postfix server, but obviously postfix lacks on calendar, global adresse-book etc. So they decided for an Exchange server (around 500$), but the old admin told them there is Zimbra which does all of this at almost no aditional costs. So he installed Zimbra but, before he finished the work, he left for another job. I took over, and i am tring to see what can i do now: going forward with Zimbra, or changing to another MTA. Why? because i saw that the prices are a little bit high for my expectations and...i cannot go now to the management telling: the old guy didn't told you the truth.
So, making the long story short: What i need? I need that the users, which have already e-mails accounts on their PC-s (most of them with MS Outlook and Outlook Express) to get connected to the Zimbra server in order to be able to:
1- get their e-mails
2- get global address book
3- get calendar and meeting-updates schedules.
So, what can i do with what i have now? (i mean with the actual Zimbra)
They can get all of those feature by using the Web UI, that would be the easiest choice for them. What about using ZD 2, that will also give them those facilities - what versions of Windows do they use and what problems have you had with ZD?
Wow... You are very fast with your answers! many thanks!
Yes, i know: one of the options is that they can use the web UI, but unfortunately there is not so many space on the server for all of them to let their e-mails on the server.
The second option i thought about was indeed regarding the Zimbra Desktop: changing the MS programs with ZD2.
I downloaded the day before yesterday the the ZD2 and i installed it. But perhaps i didn't configure properly?
The ports open on the server are this:
25/tcp open smtp
37/tcp open time
81/tcp open hosts2-ns
110/tcp open pop3
111/tcp open rpcbind
143/tcp open imap
465/tcp open smtps
587/tcp open submission
993/tcp open imaps
995/tcp open pop3s
but....when i try to setup ZD 2 using Zimbra as Account Type it is asking me about port 443 on SSL, and like you see there is no 443 open.( "Cannot connect to "https://126.96.36.199/service/soap/". Please check host/port and network connectivity. "
And as IMAP or POP3 i guess i cannot update calendar etc..right?
i managed to make it work I put it on port 81 with None security and it works
i stations are mostly WIN XP and Win vista.
I'm not sure if you ever found the connector, but I noticed that the link was different to ours... Have you tried looking here:
Instead of https://yourserver/zimbra/downloads/index.html
Hope it helps.

Successful companies do not hesitate to use Strategic Planning consultants to help them build and improve their competitive advantages. These companies understand the importance of making smart strategic decisions and are not afraid to challenge the status quo.
Fortune 500 companies have the managerial resources and expertise to put a Strategic Planning group together that is devoted to developing and implementing smart growth strategies for the organization.
However, small companies are in quite a different position. They lack the resources and expertise a larger company would have and the management team cannot be solely focused on strategic planning, at the risk of neglecting to take care of the day-to-day requirements of the business.
This does not mean that a small company should not do strategic planning to set a course for the future. On the contrary, especially small companies need to be careful about where and how to deploy their limited resources to get the best ROI. It's a matter of 'brains' over 'brawn'.
A Strategic Planning consultant can provide the expertise and manpower to a small company, guiding the planning process to be more thorough, objective and rational.

I have definitely lived the reality of not having the time I thought I had, and I am in the second life. I encourage you to go there and be and do everything you ever wanted. It only seems impossible until you start, and then you will face palm and wonder why it took so long. You def need to experience Portland and Seattle! Both amazing cities with beauty everywhere. Mountains and ocean nearby. =)

Travel the world (not discriminating on this topic - VISIT ALL THE PLACES!); but for me, it's to publish a book. Then another. I really want to put my inhibitions aside, stop biting my nails and say yes more. This post just nailed it on the head.

I feel you on the bedroom. If you walked in mine now you'd think a 19 year old lived there too and not an almost 30 year old. Stuff is everywhere. I've been wanting to paint it for awhile but not sure why I'm not doing it. The other is my kitchen which is literally from 1960. I want to redo it and again, don't know what I'm waiting for.
As for travel? Lately I've been dying to go to Denver, CO. Anywhere in Europe is also on my list but especially Greece.

I love this post so much. Your post hit home with me as well, and things Jared and I have been talking about a lot lately too. I don't want to ever look back on my life and regret not taking the time to do something I've ALWAYS wanted to. Like you said, there will always be reasons or excuses or things 'in the way' but that doesn't have to be the case. Holy now.... my brain might explode with all the thoughts you put into it today!! :)

I love this sentence.... "Life is Now" Yes it is my friend. I learned the hard way that life can be taken from you in an instant. and I have lived the last five years of my life in denial... But no more! 2014 is OUR year! It is the year we get our shit together. So, if that isn't your forever home. Make it how you want it. I have so many things I need to do around the house, but we are in the same rut. Do we move or do we stay? either way, don't I deserve nice living room carpet? I think I do!!
And you know I have to be traveling. This year we are going to Louisville, KY and more than likely San Diego. Next year is going to be all about Disney. Probably cruise for Spring Break, and Disneyworld in the summer. I love that the kids are now getting to the age that travel is fun again. I want to show them the world!!!

Awesome post for a girl, er, woman who wasn't going to blog today. Powerful. My number one thing right now is to work on my relationship with God. I have spent too much time being angry at Him. Shay has been a big help so far.

Hmmm...That's heavy for a Thursday Erin. Ha! I think I don't really have a what am I waiting for. 2013 I decided was going to be my year and 2014 is looking to be the same thing. I guess make sure I get enough "me" time. It sounds superficial and selfish, but truth be told I was people pleasing like a mofo. I decided I needed to work on my goals and stop working my life away. So that's what I'm doing. You're right life is to short and that's been slammed in my face numerous times over the years this time I'm actually listening. :)

The major "thing" that I (or we) kept slacking on is finshing the basement (aka, where we live). And it's partially because obviously we don't plan to be here forever, but it also doesn't look like we'll be moving out anytime too soon. So, why not make it a functioning apartment while we're here? ya know? So, we're about to dive back into it. Another one is trying out and attempting little goals I want to do. Some are on my 30 before 30. Like write a song. I really want to try writing a song. What's stopping me? Me! Nothing but myself, lack of confidence and all of that jazz. I'm sure there are more, but those are the two that popped up right now.
And traveling, yes! That one is an all the time one. I want to travel so bad. Money is the biggest obstacle, but also I'm scared of flying. lol I've flown once to Denver, but it's been years & I just don't know.
My main places I want to go in the US...(I think)I want to go to Vegas, maybe LA, maybe NY...hmm...Nashville, but I get to go there soon-ish. And I'm a history nerd kind of, so going to a lot of historical place would be fun. Outside of the US main place, hands down, is England/Scotland/Ireland. In that trip, I want to go to London, obviously, but I also want to go to stongehenge and Liverpool (where the Titanic departed from) and then up to Scotland and over to Ireland to see other things. And all the scenery! ughh.. A couple other places that kind of intrigue me would Italy and Paris. Maybe Greece. Egypt would be interesting too, but there are some place, I won't lie, that I'd be scared to go to...I could talk about place I'd like to go all day! lol

as small of a vacation as it seems I want to go to Disney...main reason is because Breanna is so into everything Disney right now and I want to be in that moment when she thinks it is all real
I also want to go to Hawaii!B and I never took a honeymoon so that would be perfect!

I've known Jaime for years, and he was always a gentleman and exhibited a poise and a vision not commonly seen in someone so young. To further memorialize Jaime, I thought I'd share some images of his work courtesy of Ken Schlottfeldt, owner of Badger Air Brush.

lot of people say vale and jb developed the M1 , and a lot say it was furusawa.
the reality is it was project leader Koichi Tsuji who developed the 3 new engine versions with increased power delivery.
they were made and tested in 2003 , all vale and co had to do was pick the best one , vale knew of these developments at yam in advance to storming out of honda and into a brilliant new yamaha racing team.
looking in from the outside it appeared vale was heading onto a dud bike and only yamaha and vale and co knew otherwise , this is what started the development god myth.

This little grey phone looks so much like the real thing it is sure to make a hit. It flips open and when you push the buttons it has ringing sounds and even some voices that say hello in English and Spanish! There's a little mirror inside for peek-a-boo sightings. Unlike so many toy phones this one is not too loud, but feels and looks real as can be! They say 3 months and up, we say more like 9 months & up.

The 7 Commandments All Video Games Should Obey
#3. Thou shalt admit when enough is enough.
Turok, Gears of War, Medal of Honor, Call of Duty, Call of Honor, Metal of Duty: Honor Call
There are two times in a creative field when you know you have to move on: When something just isn't working, and when something has worked for too long. Some conventions that have never worked include:
Escort missions.
So you've spent the first half of the game accumulating weapons and hit points and turning yourself into a zombie-killing machine. How does the game reward you? By forcing you to escort a completely helpless and unarmed dumbass through the war zone, and making so that you instantly lose if they get a scratch on them.
No one has ever liked an escort mission, ever, in the history of gaming. So why do they still exist?
CPU-controlled squad teammates.
This is supposed to be the flip side of the above, here the computer gives you a half dozen or so teammates to "help" you fight the Nazis or commies or zombies or whoever the enemy is that day. It doesn't work. It has never worked.
Either the AI is too stupid, or it's so sophisticated that it has become sentient and aware of the futility of living. Either way, as recently as Call of Duty 4 we've got teammates walking in front of our machine gun, eager to feel the sweet, sweet embrace of death. And then we get penalized for it.
First-person jumping puzzles.
There is no possible freaking way to jump accurately from a first person perspective. All of the things that would let you do it in real life (sense of balance and momentum, awareness of your body) are gone. Also, you can't see your fucking feet.
Yet, here we are in Half Life 2, entering the spooky, atmospheric zombie town of Ravenholm, ready for the fight of our lives. How do we defeat the undead hordes? Why, by jumping across rooftops, on wooden platforms and suspended cars, like freaking Mario.
This brings us to our second category of "enough is enough" gaming elements, which are ones that sold truckloads of games, but that need to be retired. Such as ...
World War II games.
The average gamer has killed more Nazis than the entire Russian army. Where the hell are the World War I games?
The grizzled space marine.
Doom introduced the grizzled space marine to the gaming world 15 years ago, dreamed into existence by someone at id Software, probably just minutes after watching Aliens. The grizzled space marine character so captivated the imagination of first-person shooter fans that they decided to have him star in every single FPS game since.
Doom 3
Gears of War
Haze (left) and Turok
Killzone 2
Oh, look. We've come full circle.
Aliens: Colonial Marine
Will the gaming world ever get enough of the grizzled space marine?
Yes. Yes, we will.
Move on.

"I have always been fascinated about the endless possibilities that the voice has as an instrument. My experience in jazz, improvised music, classical music, and Latin American styles made me aware of the importance of vocal technique to create a versatile instrument that can easily switch from one style to another. I remember when I began improvising how frustrating it was not to be able to sing the melodic ideas and sounds I could hear in my head. A healthy and flexible instrument is crucial and will give you the freedom to make any artistic choices you want, without limiting yourself."
"I teach my voice students to be independent and to think as musicians. To be able to understand, perform, and write music with the skills of an instrumentalist. And that is why I include in my teaching improvisation, rhythmic training, songwriting, and ear training techniques as well."
"I love leading my students to the process of discovering their musical personality. To train their voice to be the instrument of their own imagination."

East/West: A Survey of Contemporary Printmaking is a printmaking portfolio that reflects and celebrates the pluralistic existence of printmaking practice and printmaking education in the United States. This portfolio showcases 100 of the most prominent printmakers/educators representing every state in the USA. Unlike most portfolios, this project asked participating artists not to respond to a certain theme but rather to express their current image-making techniques and conceptual concerns. The result is a portfolio of diverse prints that embrace and celebrate the traditional and alternative printmaking techniques found in lithography, intaglio, woodcut, silkscreen, archival pigment, hybrid, intaglio types, and photo-relief prints.
The artists featured in the East/West: A Survey of Contemporary Printmaking portfolio were chosen based upon their long and distinguished careers as both artists and teachers practicing the art of printmaking in a fashion coined from the tradition of the major mid-west universities in the 1960's – "the artist/teacher in residence."
This portfolio celebrates these artists as innovators for their continued development of the printmaking medium and their own unique artistic visions as evidenced by their work and continued success as educators. These printmakers have had and continue to have a dramatic impact on printmaking education, their institutions, and printmaking workshops.
The book The Printmaking Bible: The Complete Guide to Materials and Techniques, by Ann d'Arcy Hughes and Hebe Vernon-Morris will be available for viewing for the duration of the exhibition at the University Art Gallery.

If you've been online on any entrepreneurship blog for more than five minutes in the last four years, you already know that you need to follow your passions and do what you love. This is the best career advice out there. Getting a job is so 1990s. These days you have to follow your passions or else you're just wasting your time.
What exactly does this mean? I don't know. The world that I live in there are bills to be paid and money's needed. Money isn't evil. You can't always just be following your passions.
I wanted to look at the idea of why a real job is good for you in your 20s before you attempt to work for yourself or you try to start your own online business. I'm going to explain the benefits of working a 9-5, while you try to pursue side interests.
Let's get started!
You Learn How to Master Time Management
You don't have any time to waste when you have a job that you're committed to. You have 8 hours of work in a day. On top of this, you also have to travel to and from work, prepare your meals, and worry about any other commitments that you might have.
So in other words, you're forced to make the most out of the little free time that you can somehow squeeze in. If you ever want to be a full-time entrepreneur, you'll be smacked with the reality that is very scarce. You never seem to have enough time for anything. You always wish that you had more time.
When you work a job and try to get a business off the ground, you'll see what it's like to be forced into mastering time management. It won't be easy, but it'll show you what you're made of. You might have to untag yourself from Facebook photos a few days later.
You Interact with People.
Being forced to show up at work every money creates an environment where you have to constantly be interacting with others. You learn how to work in a team, become a leader, help others, and to put up with annoying co-workers. You're constantly surrounded by others and by tasks to complete.
This is high valuable when you eventually decide to branch off on your own. You'll have that experience of being a leader, follower, and student.
When thinking about what to do after college, it's easy to get caught up in the idea of "being your own boss." I suggest that you work a bunch of jobs while you attempt to start a business, so that you don't get bored and earn that valuable experience of being apart of an established team. There are just so many hidden benefits in working for a highly efficient group.
Oh and there's one more benefit of working for a company…
You Make Money
When you work for yourself money is NEVER guaranteed. There will be months where your laughing all the way to the bank. Then there will be times where things are lean and you're struggling to pay the bills.
When you have a job, you work and you get paid. There's no disputing this formula. As fun as it is for online bloggers to laugh at the idea of a job, the reality is that steady income beats no income.
It's also important to have money coming in just in case you have any debt from your student credit cards or from your student loans. Most 20-somethings don't have the luxury of being debt free. College tuition fees are soaring and credit cards are used fair too freely. Many young people will have debt to deal with. Your first job should help you deal with this debt.
That's why I totally recommend working what they call a "real job" in your youth. If you want to explore how you can use your free time to make more money, then I highly urge you to check out my freshly self-published book. You'll see how your little bit of free time can actually lead to more money and more fun down the road. You owe it to yourself.

I'm cleaning up my old bike and noticed the gear cables were rusty and beginning to fray so I decided to replace them myself. All went well with the rear and it is working great however I can't seem to get the front working.
I followed the Park Tools guide to adjust the height and angle of the derailleur then connected the cable, making sure to leave some slack in it (as the chain was on the small cog). Then I adjusted the L srcew, again following the Park Tools guide.
However I couldn't change gear as the shifter simply springs back. So I tried loosening the cable but then I could shift as the cable was obviously too loose.
The bike is pretty old, mid 90s and the derailleur just has Shimano SIS on it. I added a couple of pictures but I'm not sure how much help they'll be.

Who doesn't love a comeback story? The Diplomats have been prepping theirs for over three years , but outside of 2010's "Salute" and a smattering of live shows, it seems like Cam'ron, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana and Freekey Zekey's comeback moment may have passed.
"It might've passed, it might not; I can't say. We do shows four, five, six times a year together. We get booked to all do shows, it's just that everybody all got their personal thing goin' on," Cam explained to MTV News on Wednesday of the Dips reunion and comeback album Diplomatic Immunity 3. "Jim is doing clothing, El doing clothing, I'm doing movies and clothing. It's just that everybody's got to find that space. What we don't want to do is dilute it and make it seem like it's fake."
The Dips started a storied mixtape run starting with 2002's Diplomats Vol 1, and though they were a part of Jay Z's Roc-A-Fella roster they exuded a street energy all their own. By the time the quartet dropped their gold-selling Diplomatic Immunity album in 2003, the group was at their height and Juelz and Jim Jones were well on their way to building the type of solo careers that Cam was already enjoying. By 2007 infighting began to break the group apart.
"When we did Diplomats music it was all genuine and I think that's why people love it so much, because they seen a group of kids from Harlem that had almost nothing come up to be platinum-selling artists and people rode that wave with us," Killa said. "So, that's the one thing that we don't want to do, is make it watered down or it's not genuine."
On October 1, Cam dropped Ghetto Heaven Vol. 1, a 19-track mixtape prepped to promote his upcoming "1st of the Month" film series. Cam says he's constantly in the studio working on new music, but as a group the Diplomats haven't put in the necessary studio time to record a cohesive body of work, and they aren't ready to short-change their legacy.
"Basically we'll get in the studio, then people get busy for two or three weeks and don't see each other and that turns into two or three months," he said. "But we're all in a good space and everybody's friends with each other, we just got to find that time to see if we can make it happen, so I don't want to say yes or no to that."

INTERVIEW: The Graduate; Joel Hopkins Jumps from "Jorge" to "Tomorrow"
by Anthony Kaufman
After his New York University 30-minute graduate thesis film "Jorge" won the school's top prize, showed at Sundance 2000, and won a $100,000 grant from a university production fund, it was only a matter of time before Joel Hopkins jumped to feature filmmaking with "Jump Tomorrow" (which opened in theaters over the weekend), a broadening of the themes, story and style reflected in his short. The British-born Hopkins finessed his English roots and grant money to persuade British broadcaster/film producer Film Four to come up with the remaining financing. The result, a romantic road comedy infused with the spirit of Mike Nichol's "The Graduate" and Blake Edwards' "The Party" and "The Pink Panther," tells the story of a shy African American man who falls for a young Latina woman. That his leading man, Tunde Adebimpe, is an animation student at NYU, not an actor, and that Hopkins' knowledge of the film's major locale, Niagara Falls, comes not from experience, only fascination, has only helped this minimalist story of love and awkwardness win audiences over. Hopkins recently spoke with indieWIRE's Anthony Kaufman about adapting short to feature, influences, production design, and his transatlantic connections.
indieWIRE: So do you think you could have made this feature without making "Jorge"?
Joel Hopkins: No, I couldn't, less from a practical, production shooting level, but more on a script level. "Jorge" is a half an hour and does have a three-act structure, and the shorts I had made before that were more slices of life that I don't think were totally successful in telling a whole narrative. And so, structurally and script-wise, "Jorge" was hugely important for me to do, and gave me the confidence to do something bigger. But as far as the nuts and bolts of shooting, I feel like that was less of a leap for me.
iW: How was it different, production-wise?
Hopkins: I managed to make "Jorge" with a group of friends. It was still made with a student spirit, so that changed. Suddenly, it was daunting when you show up and there's six trucks. It becomes a bigger beast; it gets a little frustrating when you know what you want and you just want to grab it and run. On "Jorge," I did some subway stuff and it was just me and Tundai and a Bolex. That sort of thing was gone. To get the simplest pick-up shot, you definitely would have known we were there.
iW: In "Jorge," you were able to establish this nostalgic world with the black and white cinematography, but in "Jump Tomorrow," it's all about this '60s production design. How did you make that happen?
Hopkins: The number of times I have seen low budget films pull off a genuine party, nine times out of 10 it feels like a director and his group of friends. So I thought let's go the opposite way. Let's make it bright. Looking at "The Party," that's the sort of inspiration. As far as getting the furniture, production designer John [Paino] did a great job. We shot the party in an art gallery and John painted those wonderful stripes on the wall. It was partly out of financial restrictions. Once we decided to go this not-quite-real world way, we went with it. We looked at some photographers, Williaim Eggleston, Gary Winogrand, David Byrne's "True Stories," Jarmusch's "Down By Law," and the "Pink Panther" movies and stuff like that.
iW: After seeing the movie, I kept thinking of "The Graduate." Do you admit to that?
Hopkins: I'd be a fool if I denied it. I think the tone that they strike in that movie and at the end, where it's a happy ending, but it's real life. We meet the girl of our dreams, but what's going to happen in the morning? That was always in my mind with this. I definitely wanted to try to find some lingering thoughts. I wanted to try to find a tone that wasn't all roses and had some sort of life goes on thing. Throughout the movie, I hope that it mixes elements of farce and the more thoughtful stuff. Another movie that would be right to say was an inspiration was "Billy Liar," early John Schlesinger. It's about a young man in a Northern town and has this desire to go to London to be a screenwriter. It's this sort of Walter Mitty scenario and I looked at that for the wonderful tone in that movie.
iW: How do you feel about this being the latest indie romantic comedy of the summer?
Hopkins: I went to see "Say Anything" at the American Museum of the Movie Image recently and I think it's terrific. I do think it's a genre that deserves to hold up its head higher. So I do think it's the way to go. I do think IFC Films has a good poster campaign, as long as we can stress the hipper aspects of the movie.
iW: Looking ahead at your future career, how do you see your transatlantic identity working as an advantage to get your films made?
Hopkins: I did the financing for this movie from Film Four, so that relationship is continuing. Film Four has been backing British filmmaking for quite a while, but I think they want to be seen making American movies, too. So my producer, Nicola Usborne, who is also British, and I, are quite a good halfway house for them. And they want to continue doing that. I've definitely taken advantage of that, of being English, but having been here eight years, I have my green card and I know New York. Now I'm being paid to write for the first time in my life by Film Four. I'm working on an original screenplay, which is another tale of neurotic men. I'm also looking to adapting a well-known children's book. I'd quite like to do a children's film, so I'm waiting for that to happen.

Lots going on outside the baseball world with some weird stories, but inside baseball, things are pretty quiet with the exception of the World Baseball Classic roster being announced yesterday. The Royals Caravan is beginning here this week and will travel to all sorts of places over the next couple weeks, so make sure to check if they're coming to your area to get an opportunity to check that out. I've never been to one, but I've heard it's a great opportunity to meet and greet with some players, management and others that is actually a really good time. Without further ado, let's get to the notes.
- You may have noticed that Salvador Perez is on the Venezuelan roster for the WBC, and a few people have asked me if that's a good thing or a bad thing. My take is that with Miguel Montero also on the roster, Salvador Perez will probably be catching less and putting less stress on those knees than he would in Royals camp. I think it'll be a great opportunity for him to get to play with guys like Montero, Miguel Cabrera and Felix Hernandez to up his game even more. Plus, it'll be nice to see him in a little stronger competition that early in spring training. The only downside for me is he'll be out of Royals camp while I'm in Surprise, but I suppose worse things have happened.
- We talked with Robert Ford of 610 Sports on this week's podcasts, and one of the topics that came up was that of the fifth starter. One thing that perplexes me and perplexed Clint was why Luis Mendoza isn't getting more play for the Royals fifth starter job over Bruce Chen and Luke Hochevar. He was the best of the three last season, and I think he has a good chance to be the best of the three again based on what we saw out of him in the second half (throwing to Salvador Perez almost exclusively). I know the Royals believe he's the best suited to the bullpen, and I'd agree with that, but that's just not the way you build your team. I think it just magnifies the poor decision to tender Hochevar a contract at all. We'll see. Maybe he'll get every chance in the world and the only reason we hear all the talk about Hochevar and Chen is because they're trying to trade them. If not, though, I just don't think that's a good decision to relegate him to the bullpen so quickly.
- I think I've talked about this before, but it's a slow news week, so we'll have to deal with it. You may have noticed that Jeff Francoeur is being written down in pen to be the Royals right fielder on Opening Day and beyond. At this point, it's not worth the hand wringing that it provides because it's going to happen whether we like it or not. Amidst all the questions guys like Bob Dutton and Robert Ford are receiving comes the answer that he won't be able to hit like he did last season and keep his job. My question, though, is who is going to replace him? The closest thing to a big league ready outfielder is David Lough, and I don't think he's good enough. You could start Lorenzo Cain in right and Jarrod Dyson in center, but while that might be an improvement, it's still not enough (though damn fine defensively). If what Dutton and Ford are saying is true and the Royals will replace Francoeur if his performance dictates, then we'll be looking at a trade in late May to fortify the Royals lineup.
- One name I've mentioned before and will probably mention again is Juan Gutierrez. The Royals really like him, so don't be surprised if he breaks camp in the bullpen for the Royals. You may remember him from his time with the Diamondbacks. He was average at best, but he has absolutely electric stuff who I could see giving the Royals a Robinson Tejeda (when he was good) type of season if healthy. He was named pitcher of the year in winter ball and I just think he has a very good chance of making the team. Probably the second best chance of all guys not currently on 40 man roster behind Miguel Tejeda.
- I think it's interesting the Royals have no apparent Mike Moustakas contingency plan. It's not that I expect bad things or injury out of him, but he did have a pretty lingering knee injury last year, and I wonder if things would have been different had he gone on the disabled list and let it get better. If that happens this year and he maybe learned from his mistakes and does go on the DL, who is around to step in. I suppose Miguel Tejada is the answer, but other than him, you've got AAA guys like Rey Navarro, maybe Christian Colon and then there's Brandon Wood. I just don't think any of them can cut it. This is one of the glaring weaknesses the Royals may encounter. They just have very little depth outside of the bullpen, so if anything happens to their starting nine, the dropoff in production at most positions could be really harmful for a team that even the most optimistic projections have at the very edge of the playoff race.
- I've mentioned my upcoming spring training trip, but if any of you will be out there in early March, let me know and hopefully we can meet up and chat for a bit. I'm looking forward to my trip. It's one every baseball fan needs to at least try to go on at some point in their lives.

NFL player salaries are excessive, aren't they? It depends whom you ask. National Football League team owners seem to think NFL player salaries are bloated: in May they voted unanimously to terminate their labor contract with the players union early, in a move to cut salary costs. Even some NFL players themselves believe salaries, particularly for rookies, are unfair.
So just what do NFL player salaries look like these days? According to a recent USA TODAY survey of player compensation, the top-paid player for 2008 is Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger at $27.7 million, followed by Minnesota defensive end Jared Allen at $21.1 million, Arizona wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald at $17.1 million, and Oakland quarterback JaMarcus Russell at $16.9 million. The survey includes all signing bonuses in the initial contract year, as well as base pay and other bonuses. The story notes that teams are willing to fork over big bucks for NFL player salaries, especially for a quarterback who holds the promise of being a "marquee player."

There is little disagreement about whether global warming happening, only some, like Gov. Sarah Palin, question whether it is caused by people. Beyond that fight, there is another debate: what could be the effect of these environmental factors on jobs?
While "green collar jobs" were overshadowed during the general election by the financial meltdown, they remain a top component of President-elect Obama's energy plan, with predictions of 5,000,000 new jobs. Could the green sector be that important to our future economy?
According to a report on CNN.com, the effect of environmental factors on jobs could be an employment boom, or bust. The Apollo Institute, an organization that wants a government renewable energy project, predicts three million new green jobs over the next ten years. However, the Energy and Resources Group at the University of California Berkeley expects closer to one million new jobs by 2020.
Could your salary weather the effect of environmental factors on jobs? Find out with PayScale's full salary survey.
U.S. unemployment rates under President Bush have reached a 14-year high. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, unemployment climbed to 6.5 percent in October, as the country shed 240,000 jobs. U.S. unemployment rates under President Bush have certainly increased--for example, the unemployment rate for October 2007 was 4.7 percent. So far this year, the country has lost 1.2 million jobs, and over half of the decrease took place in just the last three months. Some suggest the situation could grow more bleak: Goldman Sachs projects the unemployment rate will reach 8.5 percent by the end of 2009. Another source I spoke with recently believes it could soar as high as 10 percent in the near future.
With U.S. unemployment rates under President Bush rising, there's more talk of the nation being caught in a recession. In a New York Times story, Stuart G. Hoffman, chief economist at PNC Financial Services Group in Pittsburgh, notes, "The economy is slipping deeper into a recessionary sinkhole that is getting broader. The layoffs are getting larger, and coming faster. We're likely to see at least another six months of more jobs reports like this." In a Wall Street Journal roundup of economists' reactions to the unemployment report, Joshua Shapiro of MFR Inc. says, "History tells that once the labor market weakens as much as it has in the past several months, job-shedding takes on a life of its own and tends to persist for a long while. We expect the employment data to be dreadful for many months to come and consequently for consumer spending to continue to decline."
The job losses were far-reaching: manufacturing lost 90,000 jobs, construction shed 49,000, professional and business services saw a decline of 51,000, and retail trade employment lost 38,000. Health care, however, added 26,000 jobs.
As the unemployment rate in America increases and President Bush's tenure draws to a close, all eyes are on President-elect Barack Obama and the Democratic Congress set to take the reins in Washington in January. Will the new leadership provide relief?

"Career change at middle age." Just the words seem daunting, but in our ever-changing job market and the current economic downturn, more and more people are switching careers, some by choice, and others out of economic necessity.
One common route to a career change is further education. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, back in 2006 employees with a graduate or professional degree earned an average salary of $80K, while those with bachelor's degrees earned an average of $55K; that's a big difference in pay. If you're interested in heading back to school, check out online degree programs in the PayScale Education Center.
How would a new degree affect your salary? Find out with the PayScale Salary Calculator.

Gerard Schwarz, conductor laureate of Seattle Symphony, has a big new music project, premiering on KCTS at 10 p.m. Friday.
Titled "The All-Star Orchestra," it features, as he puts it, "made-for-television orchestral music." In other words: HD video recordings crafted as carefully as any traditional audio recording.
The musicians, Schwarz explained in a recent phone interview, were hand-picked by him from 30 orchestras from the East Coast to the West, including half a dozen from Seattle (among them former principal horn John Cerminaro and violist Mara Gearman). The aim of the series, he says, was to make great music accessible to as many people as possible.
And the way to do that, he felt, was to put it on public television.

- What the national media are saying about Robinson Cano and the Mariners' hot start to the season
- Man arrested in attack on Metro bus driver
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
Most Read Stories
The results couldn't be more satisfying. In the first two episodes (there are eight altogether), 18 HD cameras cover the players so comprehensively that they let you see musical details emerge that you might not normally catch on an audio recording or even in a live performance, where you're at some distance from the players. Having no audience meant Schwarz had no worries about omnipresent cameras interfering with listeners' concert experience. All eight episodes were filmed in a mere four days.
The show's educational component is a far cry from poker-faced pedagogy. One of the
most droll points Schwarz makes, before conducting "The Firebird Suite," is that Igor Stravinsky was the third-choice composer of ballet producer Sergei Diaghilev for the Ballets Russes' 1910 production of "The Firebird." First choice was Rimsky-Korsakov (who died), followed by Russian composer Anatoly Lyadov ("who people say was lazy"). Comments from other experts are equally pithy and to the point.
In addition to wanting a good geographical spread among his players, Schwarz also needed seasoned performers who had a deep familiarity with the standard repertoire "because we were working quite quickly."
By that, he means literally without rehearsal. What you see on the program is one of two or three recorded takes of pieces these top-tier musicians had never played together. The results, on both revered classics ("The Firebird Suite," Beethoven's Symphony No. 5, etc.) and short works by living American composers, are incredible.
"This orchestra played like they were playing chamber music," Schwarz says. "Any nuance that I would do they would follow like I've never experienced in my life."
While it feels a little odd to get to the end of Beethoven's Fifth and not have an audience roar into applause, the music benefits from being presented absolutely without distraction. Pieces are played in their entirety and with a singular concentration.
"In a way, we had each other as an audience," Schwarz says.
Schwarz is now based in New York, but visits Seattle frequently (he'll be back at the Symphony next year to conduct Mozart and Richard Strauss programs). As an itinerant conductor, he finds, it's easier to get to the places he needs to go out of New York.
Also, he adds, "When you're running a musical institution for as many years as I did, you don't want to be looking over the next person's and the next administration's shoulder."
"The All-Star Orchestra" is his new baby, and he plans to keep it going.
"If you do, say, 10 standard repertoire pieces a year, in four years you're going to have a library of 40 pieces that will be available for kids, for adults, for people who are older who can't get to concerts, that can be used as educational tools," he says. "This is my new long-term commitment — absolutely."

A super pink and lavender update of the 2011 Platinum Award Winner, this new take on the Babicorolle Elf doll now has a super vivid pink hat (rather than the original orange). She still comes with a quiet little jingle inside. Elf Grenadine is just nine and half inches and dressed in non-removable velour-like and knit fabrics. Her face is vinyl with painted on features. If you prefer more pastel tones, look for Elf Apricot with a light pink body, hot pink hat and apricot arms and trim. Either of these makes a cozy choice for baby to explore and for you to use for lap time games.
Age: Infants. Award Year: 2013. Click here to purchase the product on Amazon.com.
An update of the 2010 Platinum Award winner, now comes with a hot pink dress and hat with licks of lavender on her neck, dress and all fabric shoes. She's a smaller 9 1/2 inch version of the original Miss Grenadine rag doll. Her arms and legs are easy to grab and her painted vinyl face is tucked in a non-removable hood. There is no hair to mouth or do-dads that will come off. Light weight and huggable, this is a perfect doll for the littlest pretender.

Jake Gyllenhaal
Jake Gyllenhaal Cracks the 'Source Code' with Sci-Fi Wunderkind Duncan Jones
Jake Gyllenhaal is no stranger to working with mad scientists – or, at least, mad science. It was a decade ago that he played schizophrenic teen Donnie Darko in Richard Kelly's memorably offbeat feature about wormholes, time travel, a diabolical rabbit and an impending apocalypse.
Now Gyllenhaal, 30, is back on semi-familiar ground, playing Air Force Colonel Colter Stevens, badly wounded in the Middle East but kept alive as the star guinea pig in a top-secret – aren't they all? – government experiment. The movie is Source Code, the second offering (after 2009's Moon) from sci-fi surrealist Duncan Jones.
Ambition Eclipses Suspense in 'Prince of Persia'
Here's the dilemma. On the one hand, Prince of Persia is everything you'd expect from a sprawling, two-hour fantasy inspired by a video game: frivolous and predictable, a collection of high-wire set pieces loosely strung together in a convoluted story.
On the other, it is handsomely shot and surprisingly ambitious, with an impressive cast led by a bulked-up Jake Gyllenhaal, whose scrappy hero recalls a better-humored Hamlet, and Ben Kingsley as his beguiling mentor. And there's the rub.
Indie Theater Roundup: 7 Movies to See This Week

Indie Theater Roundup: 7 Movies to See This Week
With the Dec. 31 deadline for 2009 Academy Award consideration fast approaching and at least one surefire Best Picture contender – Jason Reitman's Up in the Air – arriving at theaters this weekend, it's a perfect time to catch a movie. As always, here's a list of the finest films now playing at your local indie theaters.
Sibling Rivalry Taken to Dangerous Extremes in 'Brothers'
Based on Danish director Susanne Bier's 2004 drama, Jim Sheridan's sure-handed remake is not about a torrid love triangle, as the film's ad campaign provocatively suggests. It is about Sam, a dedicated husband, father and Marine whose experiences as a Taliban prisoner in Afghanistan leave him bitterly withdrawn from his family and tortured by guilt.
Sam (Tobey Maguire) is his father's golden child, a onetime football star who married his high-school sweetheart (Natalie Portman) and went on to serve his country. He prepares for a fourth tour in Afghanistan without complaint, not because he misses the heady rush of combat but because he takes pride in his work.

I've just built a new Campy compatible wheel that I'm going to use with my Chorus 10sp setup. My crank is 50/36 and I have a short cage derailleur. My current wheel has a 13-26 cassette and I'm thinking of going to a 13-29 as I'm getting older (55) and my hill climbing days are long past.
Will the combo work with what I have, or will the derailleur not handle it. Normally I'd just try it but Campy cassettes, even the Veloce and Centaur, are pricy compared to the Shimano and I don't want to spend money on something I can't use. I'm not going to change the derailleur so if it won't work I'll just get another 13-26.
And if I do this, will I need to add another link pair to the chain?

D.C. area rapper Wale has recently released information regarding upcoming projects that have been in the works. Fans can expect his next mixtape, the Mixtape About Nothing, around mid-to-late March. Despite the title, the mixtape will definitely be about a lot of something. While speaking with DX, Wale explained, "It's a lot of issues I'm talking about...a lot of deeper things I'm talking about."
Seinfeld fans can expect something uniquely interesting from the mixtape, as the sitcom will be referenced throughout. However, you don't need to be a Seinfeld fan to appreciate the mixtape - as Wale said, "They're going to like it because of the lyrical excellence that I exercise on it...you'll get it. Immediately."
Wale, who despite a rising notoriety has yet to release an album, has a debut LP in the works that is looking at afFall 2008 release.
In addition, Wale recorded the song "Work," as a tribute to Black Thought on his most recent mixtape 100 Miles & Runnin'. The song was recorded over The Roots' "Thought @ Work," where the D.C. emcee cited the Philadelphia veteran as his leading inspiration. Wale has reportedly been invited as a confirmed guest on The Roots' forthcoming album, which will also see a mid-2008 release.

Stopped in our old home town of Ventura, CA yesterday on the way back to the Northwest.
Bikes everywhere in this coastal community, especially in the flat beach area from Surfer's Point to the Ventura Marina. We were hoping to spot a folder or two. Didn't manage to do so until we were walking in the Village in the Marina. There we saw an older couple pushing a couple of very new looking West Marine folders along toe walkway (a no bike riding area).
Here's a link to the West Marine page. Looked like a bit older technology, as one would expect for $200 ea.

|Kenya referendum campaigns intensify
Higher Education Minister, William Ruto has accused the YES team for claiming that the NO team is inciting wananchi over the proposed constitution.
Ruto claimed the NO team is only sensitising and interpreting the draft document and not altering facts as claimed.
Speaking in Kitale during a NO rally, the minister said that the proposed constitution has many contentious clauses that need amendments.
The minister pointed out that clauses on land are the most contentious.
He urged residents of the to vote against the proposed constitution during the forthcoming-coming referendum on 4th August.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Raila Odinga has urged Kenyans to unite and vote for the proposed constitution so as to enable the country to acquire the much awaited new set of laws.
The PM said that the proposed constitution is tailored to address many challenges that are currently facing the country.
The Premier said this today while addressing a congregation when he attended a church service at Ridgeways Baptist church on Kiambu Road.
"What we have known since independence is going to change. This is a very challenging time for our country and Kenyans need a lot of prayers''. The Premier said.
Elsewhere, former Mungiki sect leader Maina Njenga has lashed out at church leaders over their position on the proposed constitution, claiming the church has taken to playing politics and failed in taking their gospel and spiritual role in the society.
Maina says he will reach out to the youth and urge them to support the proposed new constitution adding the youth stands to gain a lot if the draft passes at the referendum.
He was speaking during the kikuyu elders meeting at the Thika stadium attended by hundreds of youth.
Meanwhile,minister for internal security Professor George Saitoti has assured the provincial administration that their positions will not be scrapped if the new constitution is passed.
Saitoti said that article 199 section 18, of the proposed constitution only provides for restructuring the provincial administration to conform with county governments.
He claimed opponents of the constitution are peddling lies that the provincial administration will be scrapped.
He asked the administrators to read and understand the draft to avoid being misled.
Speaking while addressing a YES rally in Machakos, Saitoti said the new constitution would open great opportunities for socio-economic and political development.
The chairman of Kenya's National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) Mzalendo Kibunja last week said the NCIC will continue gathering evidence against people instigating hate speech.
"That is why, as a commission, we have summoned about 20 people. We have also recommend(ed) prosecution of three people, and we have gathered this evidence, and we have presented them to the commissioner of the police and attorney general. Whereas, the other ones, we have summoned them in a view of trying to investigate and collect more evidence that can stand in court, as hate speech," Kibunja said.
Kibunja also urged Kenyans to condemn any form of hate speech since he said the 2007 post-election violence is still fresh in the minds of many people.
Kenyans are scheduled to decide in a referendum whether to accept or reject the proposed draft constitution.
This comes after the Interim Independent Electoral Commission announced on 19th May that the official campaign period for the referendum would begin on 13th July, two days ahead of the voting.

I don't want standard parts. I want smaller parts where possible. I want it to fold up as small as possible. That's why I got a folding bike.
Standard parts are designed with no thought to folding up a bike, or space saving. That's why you end up with the rear derailleur dragging on the ground. And a fold that is many inches wider in all directions.
I want brilliant award winning design. I want the parts to be custom designed and integrated into the system, instead of hanging full sized touring bike parts on it.

More than 3 million young adults have gained health insurance due to a health care reform law provision that requires employers to extend coverage to employees' adult children up to age 26, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said June 19.
Since the provision first took effect on Sept. 23, 2010, 74.8 percent of young adults 19 through 25 years old were insured through December 2011, up from 64.4 percent in September 2010. That 10.4 percentage-point increase represents 3.1 million additional young adults who now have health insurance, HHS said when releasing a survey by its National Center for Health Statistics unit.
The increase is directly attributable to the young adult coverage provision in the health care reform law, federal researchers said.
For example, in the next age bracket—individuals age 26 through 35—the percentage with health insurance during the same period was virtually unchanged at about 72 percent, HHS said.
"Today, because of the health care law, more than 3 million more young adults have health insurance," HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a statement. "This policy doesn't just give young adults and their families peace of mind, it also gives them freedom. It means that as they begin their careers, they will be free to make choices based on what they want to do, not on where they can get health insurance," Sebelius added.
The young-adult provision, which became effective Jan. 1, 2011, for employers with calendar-year plans, was one of the first Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act mandates to go into effect.
Under the reform law, the only eligibility requirement that employers can impose is that the employee's child be younger than 26, putting an end to common coverage requirements such as college enrollment, financial dependency or residency with a parent.
Prior to the law change, employers typically ended coverage at age 18 or 19, or 23 or 24 in the case of full-time college students.
While definitive statistics are not available, consultants and employers said earlier that cost increases resulting from covering more young adults have been modest, typically ranging from just under 0.5 percent to 1.5 percent.
The expansion has been extremely popular among employees. For example, if the health care reform law is overturned, 59 percent of benefit professionals responding to a surveyreleased earlier this month by the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans said employees would want Congress to pass legislation reinstating the age 26 coverage mandate.

Ear Scalpelling is becoming a more and more popular these days. I would not say it is the most pleasant experience, but the results are amazing.
With Scalpelling it can be done in an hour or less. In doing this procedure you can go from nothing to a 00 Gauge with the Jewelry already installed.
Ear Scalpelling will make large wounds but they will heal up clean because they were done with a knife versus stretching your ears. When you stretch you ear there is a big risk that you can tear your lobes. A tear will almost never heal properly. With Scapeling you can correct things like if you were pierced with one hole higher than the other.
The only real negative thing to having this done is the hole will probably never close up.
Unlike when you stretch your ears, there is no tissue to shrink down. It almost always has to be surgically closed. Keep this in mind if you should consider getting this procedure done. This is basically permanent, and will not just shrink closed.

I'm not sure if this will be useful information to experienced people around here, but I found a useful trick related on the Massbike forums a while back for when you break an annoying spoke on the cassette-side of your rear wheel. It was posted by Tom Revay, and I'll just paste the instruction. I did it and it's worked well thus far. Then again, maybe you all know this already.
>>In April 2000, I attended a Leadership Training Seminar put on by the
Adventure Cycling Association. At this seminar, the instructor showed us a
trick that made the whole thing worth the price. And just to show you what
a terrific guy I am, I'm going to tell you this secret without making

Here's how it works --
Ordinarily, spokes are like an L, with a little cap at the short segment of
the L. The spoke threads through the hole in the wheel hub, and the cap
keeps the spoke from passing all the way through the hole and falling out.
This lets a wheelbuilder run the spokes through the hub, and then lace them
in a pattern (cross three usually, though cross four or cross two or radial
patterns are also used) without the spokes falling out before s/he starts to
Thing is, when the spoke is tensioned, the only part of the cap that's
needed is the part that's on the rim-side. Once the wheel is built, the
spoke need only be a J -- it just needs a hook at the hub-end, not a cap.
So what you can do when you need to replace a spoke is this --
* Take a spoke of the proper length, and with a metal file, file the cap
off the L. Don't file the whole cap -- just file the 3/4 part of it that
protrudes from the side and bottom of the L.
* Keep trying to pass the end you're filing into the hub-hole. When you
can do this, you've filed enough. This leaves the top of the cap on the
spoke, and the spoke stops being an L. It's now a hook -- a J.
* Put a bit o' grease on the spoke's threads, and thread it just a couple
turns into the nipple. Then wiggle the spoke through its soon-to-be mates
so that it follows the wheel's lacing pattern.
* Finally, bring the J-hook near the empty hub-hole, and work it through.
Tighten the spoke nipple while holding the hook thru the hole with your
thumb until the hook starts to grab the hub. After that, just tighten and
true as you normally would.
Using this method, I saw someone install a filed spoke on the cassette side
of the rear wheel -without removing the cassette-. He just worked the spoke
back and forth until its J-hook popped into the hole.
Once the spoke is tensioned, it will hold so long as you've left a nice J at
the end. You can just leave it there and ride on it.

Tallahassee, Florida- July 7, 2012
by Julie Montanaro
Dozens of middle and high school students are on FAMU's campus this summer getting a taste of college life.
FAMU's Black Male College Explorers program is hoping the teens will "get hooked" on graduating and going to college.
These teens have been hitting the books eight hours a day and getting a glimpse of college life as part of FAMU Black Male College Explorers program.
It targets at risk teens and encourages them to take the bait and not only graduate from high school, but go on to college.
"This is our 21st summer in our 22nd years and 80 to 85% of all our boys have graduated from high school," said program director Edward Tolliver.
The teens boarded a bus Friday morning bound for the open waters of the Gulf for a deep sea fishing trip. For some of these Florida natives, it's old hat. For others, it'll be a first.
"Who's going to bait your hook?"
"I would get Doctor Tolliver to help me," Tampa native Ronald Boyd said, "but once I get the hang of it I will do it."
"Who's going to clean the fish and fillet the fish?"
"Clean or fillet? Hmm. I'm going to have to pay somebody to cover that for me," he said with a laugh.
"I've been deep sea fishing a couple of times so I'm not really nervous about anything, except not catching any fish," said Fort Pierce native Alfred Lawrence.
The teens spent the day on the Gemini Queen out of Panama City.
The director says it's much more than tight lines, good fishing, it's a lesson in believing in yourself and your future.
"The positive effects of going fishing is the old Chinese proverb - give a man a fish and you'll feed him for a lifetime, teach a man to fish and he's good to go," Tolliver said.
The Black Male College Explorers program brings teens to campus for six weeks each summer.
They'll be cooking up those fish tomorrow at a campus fish fry.

Butterfield, Jeremy (2005) Against Pointillisme about Mechanics. [Preprint]
Download (247Kb) | Preview
This paper forms part of a wider campaign: to deny em pointillisme. That is the doctrine that a physical theory's fundamental quantities are defined at points of space or of spacetime, and represent intrinsic properties of such points or point-sized objects located there; so that properties of spatial or spatiotemporal regions and their material contents are determined by the point-by-point facts. More specifically, this paper argues against pointillisme about the concept of velocity in classical mechanics; especially against proposals by Tooley, Robinson and Lewis. A companion paper argues against pointillisme about (chrono)-geometry, as proposed by Bricker. To avoid technicalities, I conduct the argument almost entirely in the context of ``Newtonian'' ideas about space and time, and the classical mechanics of point-particles, i.e. extensionless particles moving in a void. But both the debate and my arguments carry over to relativistic physics.
