For Thunderbird I changed the namespace so that folders would appear on the same level as Inbox, instead of as subfolders, but I don't know how to do this on an iPad. The closest thing I see is IMAP Path Prefix. Now changing the IMAP directory in Thunderbird to INBOX fixed it for me, but doing the same in the Mail.app (iPad) did nothing. Any hep would be appreciated.

We are looking to use ExtJS to add some RIA feel to our webapps. However, our current web framework, Wicket is proving hard to integrate with Ext because Ext and Wicket both want to be in the driver seat. We started writing a Wicket component extension library until we realized that Ext-GWT was very similar. I was wondering if i could get some feedback on just what ExtGWT is like.
- When is ExtGWT 3 due out?
- It seems like GWT uses base code form ExtJS? If so, can we write ExtJS code to enhance or customize things?
- Does 3 use the base code from ExtJS4?
- How well does ExtGWT perform?
- I heard that there isn't much support for ExtGWT, it's not a risk to go away or anything is it? What support is available?
- ExtGWT 2 uses flash it seems. That might be a dealbreaker to us. Will 3 use flash?
- How is data marshalled from our data layer into the GWT components. I saw an example that seemed to do alot of manual set() methods

On November 14, the Barrington Building Committee presented an informational meeting about the last two years of their work. Peter Royce, Keith Pratt, Brian Lenzi, Paul Sanders, Dave Gibson and Tara Barker spent many hours evaluating options and investigating costs.
The committee began meeting in Fall of 2010 when the Barrington Town Hall was found to have serious indoor air quality, energy, mold and other issues that necessitated the building be vacated. After a warrant article to fix the town hall was voted down in 2011, the building committee was charged with looking at options for the old town hall, space needs for the Town Offices, SAU offices, Recreation Department and Library and cost.
The first option would be to renovate the old Town Hall on Ramsdell Lane. The building would need a new "skin." While the "bones" of the building are good, the windows, roof and outside must be replaced and the inside renovated. The building is also not ADA accessible and this would need to be addressed. This renovated space would be sufficient to house all but the library.
The next option would be to build a 32,000 square foot community building on the Clarke-Goodwin town owned site on Rt 9. This is where Turbocam is building their new site. Since Turbocam is building, some of the site work would be done (a new road, clearing the land) that would save the town money. In addition, Turbocam has offered to provide a conduit to the community building of the heat that is generated as they make their product. This would offset heating costs. There is also additional town owned land that is not developable but could be used for recreation fields.
The property near Calef's, behind the post office, is an additional option. This space is also large enough for the proposed community building with room for fields. This site would be in keeping with the idea of a town center in that area. The drawbacks are that the land is privately owned and would need to be purchased and site work done entirely by the town.
If the building is not renovated, the town could decide to sell it. Elderly housing, condominiums or professional offices may be possibilities for the building. A conservative estimate would be that the town would be able to receive $400,000 for the sale.
If the Calef land is used, the town could sell the lots on Clarke-Goodwin as well.
The committee also looked at plans that would complete the project in phases or as separate buildings. Cost upfront would be higher to complete the whole project but would cost less over time. Separate buildings for the departments would also be more costly.
The needs were projected out 20 years and assume that the population could grow to 10,000.
As far as cost, the renovation would be the least expensive at 2.3 million (but would not include the library). This equates to an additional $45 per tax year on a 200K home or $68 on a 300K home. A combined community center at a new site would be about 8.6 million and would mean $169 rise in taxes for a 200K home or $254 rise for a 300K home. With interest rates low currently and paying more in the early years, the committee attempted to make the projections at the highest potential end.
The Building Committee will make a recommendation to the Board of Selectman about what they believe to be the best option but they wanted public feedback first. The room was quite full and residents asked many questions about the process and all options. This information and more can be found on the town website and on the library site (for specific to the library needs).
Another reminder that Superintendent Gail Kushner will be speaking about High School Options on November 28th at 6PM in the middle school library. Where will Barrington students go to high school in the next contract? This is a very important issue and resident opinions are needed.
Lastly, if you eat too much on Thanksgiving Day and need a walk in the woods, the Conservation Committee is sponsoring a hike on the Barrington Trail at 10AM. The Barrington Trail goes through a mix of conservation and private land and was created by the Barrington Trails Committee in 2001. We will walk through the section off Green Hill Road that goes by the Isinglass River , a beautiful river protected in 2002 under the DES Rivers Management and Protection Program. Hiking boots and poles are recommended for this 1 1/2 mile walk. Bring water, snacks and rain gear. Please do not bring pets. RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com.

BRECKENRIDGE, Colo.—A disposable bag fee of 10 cents per bag is taking effect at all retail and grocery stores in Breckenridge.
The Summit Daily reports that Breckenridge officials are marking Tuesday's change by declaring it "Reusable Bag Day" ( http://bit.ly/1gfRXcZ). The 10-cent fee applies to most paper and plastic bags.
Breckenridge officials ordered 50,000 reusable "Breck Bags" to launch the effort. The bags are on sale for 99 cents each.
The bag fee was supposed to go into effect Oct. 1, but the town council extended the start date in order to have more time to educate the public.
Revenues from the fee are used to provide public information about the fee and promote the use of reusable bags.

The area is very pleasant with a beautiful beach and view of Koh Pha-ngan though a little bit out of the way. This wasn t too much of a problem since the hotel lend scooters for what was £5 per day and two litres of petrol gets you round the whole island. No license necessary! The pool area was very clean and relaxing, surrounded by palm trees and bushes. The rooms were very nice and well kept, with even the option of buying some of the furniture and decorations in them. The food is good but expensive compared to the hotel 30 seconds down the road and the restaurants round the corner. The whole hotel area and beach was very quiet. It was common for us to have the pool area and restaurant to ourselves. I would recommend staying at this hotel but make sure you explore the immediate surrounding area for restaurants and services which are probably better value and equally nice.

Stayed at resort for four nights and was quiet the whole time. They had finished extending the deck by the bar area day before we left which would be a welcome addition for dining purposes. Ate a few times at their restaurant which was good particularly the snapper. Breakfast was included in the price and you can order off the menu. The whole staff was very helpful and accommodating. Mo at the restaurant, for instance,offered me a plate of mixed fruit to bring back to our villa when I only had coffee for brekky. Our villa was cleaned and restocked with two bottled water each day. There is not much around the immediate area so if peace and quiet is what you re looking for then this is the place for you. There is a bigger outfit next door with a spa and a rough and ready restaurant on the other side where we had a few drinks. The resort setting is quite pretty with expansive views of Samui s spectacular sunsets.

Accommodation and facilities:
My husband and I stayed at the Koh Samui resort in November 2011. Loved the quiet location on a dead end road right on the beach. It was still the low season so the resort was not full and very quiet. Most times we had the pool to ourselves. The staff was very attentive and professional. We opted for the breakfast option which was a huge amount of food and always good (I recommend it). Once the water calmed down we were able to swim and snorkell right in front of the resort with pretty good fish viewing and reefs close to shore. Note it s about a 15 minute walk to get to the main road to catch a taxi into town. There are several other places you can eat at along the way, have a drink or get a massage, as well as a few groceries. If you want a big party scene and to be close to shopping this is not the place for you to stay. But if you want peace and quiet, to be pampered and have your every need taken care of, this resort is wonderful. We loved it here and will come stay here again if we return to Koh Samui.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Brianne Rowley of William Penn (Iowa) has been tabbed as the NAIA National Softball Player of the Week and Sierrah Garcia of Iowa Wesleyan has been named the NAIA National Softball Pitcher of the Week, the national office announced Tuesday. Rowley and Garcia were chosen based on their performances from April 2 – 8 out of a pool of conference player of the week selections among 24 conference/independent/unaffiliated groupings.
Rowley, a 5-foot-9 senior first baseman from Hood River, Ore., enjoyed a power surge as she connected for five home runs during the week. Her big week began with a pair of home runs in a 9-0 blowout of Waldorf (Iowa) in the first game of a doubleheader sweep on April 4. She followed that up with a home run and four RBIs in the nightcap, spurring a 7-1 victory. Three days later, Rowley struck for another two-homer game, going 3-for-4 with four more RBIs in a 9-3 win over Robert Morris (Ill.). For the week, Rowley went 11-for-23 (.478) with 13 RBIs, 13 runs and one triple in leading the Lady Statesmen to wins in all seven games.
Rowley's 13 home runs on the season are just one shy of a school record and ranks No. 8 nationally. She is also 21st with an .821 slugging percentage and 26th with 41 RBIs.
Garcia, a 5-foot-4 senior native of Los Banos, Calif., did not allow a single run in 25 innings of work in a nearly spotless week. In a span of two days from April 6 – 7, the right-hander started and won three games while striking out 31 batters in 17 shutout innings in which she surrendered only seven hits with no walks. In her first start of the week, Garcia held Mount Mercy (Iowa) to one hit in an eight-strikeout, seven-inning complete game masterpiece. For the week, Garcia picked up four wins and one save and struck out 39 hitters compared to eight hits allowed and a mere one walk.
Garcia rates as one of the most difficult pitchers nationally to make contact off of as she boasts the 19th-highest strikeout per nine inning ratio (11.01) and the 24th best strikeout total (115).

ELIZABETH, NJ (January 27, 2014) - Hayward® Pool Products is excited to introduce its latest lighting innovation, ColorLogic® color LED and CrystaLogic white LED Accent Lighting. Designed with the builder in mind, the new lights are the easiest 1.5 inch lights to install at just 4 inches below the water line, and in as little as 8 inches of PVC conduit. UL-Listed for safe floor or wall installation, the new lighting is ideal for steps, bubblers, baja shelves, spa dam walls or fountains in residential and commercial pools alike.
"Our new accent light meets a growing demand for distributed lighting in pools" said Hayward Senior Product Manager of Controls and Backyard Synergy Greg Fournier. "As pools grow in complexity, there is a greater need to coordinate smaller lit features with the standard pool and spa lighting."
Installed wet or dry in vinyl, concrete, or fiberglass, both the ColorLogic and CrystaLogic Accent Lights are available in stand-alone versions, with ColorLogic also available in a networked version. Both product families will be available in two brightness levels and varying cord lengths based on application requirements.
The new light offers total color coordination of all water environments. The ColorLogic Accent Light will feature the same 10 fixed colors and seven color-changing shows that are offered with the Universal ColorLogic LED Line. In networked mode, over 101 colors and 11 custom shows are available - all of which are adjustable for speed, motion and brightness.

Random notes from the Indy/Detroit on Christmas Day (while eating potato salad, napping, and polishing off a Yuengling six pack)
-First off, what the fuck is up with the slow-mo, black and white montage of the Pacers/Pistons brawl, accompanied by Coldplay's, "Clocks." Because who among us, when presented with images of Jermaine O'Neal caving in someone's head, is not thinking of the real tender ivory tickling of Chris Martin? ATTENTION ESPN: IT WAS A BAR FIGHT. IT JUST HAPPENED TO TAKE PLACE IN A REALLY BIG BAR...A REALLY BIG BAR THAT HAPPENED TO HAVE A BASKETBALL COURT. I mean, Jesus Christ! Indiana is a dry state on Xmas day, kids. Throw on some Fabulous Thunderbirds and let's get to wrasslin!
-It wasn't but 30 seconds into the actual broadcast of the game when this tool up and opened his pie-hole:
Truly, nobody in the continental United States deserves a visit from the cockpunching robot more then Tom Tolbert. While commenting on Jermaine O'Neal's 15 game suspension, Double Tee proudly offers up that he had also had 15 game breaks in his storied 7 year career. But those vacations were due to him being flat out benched because he was a slow cracker! Tolbert continues to make several jokes about the fact that he was a sub-mediocre hoopsman. Does anyone else wonder how the hell this qualifies him to comment on the game of putting the ball in the basket? Like, if I used to drive a bus, and then I kept crashing the shit...I wouldn't then become a public expert on bus driving! Yaoming?!
-Tolbert's two bon mots for the day were, "Fred Jones can flat out score," (which is flat out untrue) and memorably, "REGGIE MILLER AND RIP HAMILTON ARE A COUPLE OF GREYHOUNDS OUT THERE!"
-I swear to God, Ronald Dupree is like the Zelig of the NBA. He must be playing for 4 teams at once. Everytime I turn on a game he's got a different uniform. (ed. note-this was the potato salad talking. ron has only donned chicago red and detroit blue)
-It's always interesting to hear what the NBA arenas are pumping over the P.A. Apparently Punjabi MC is taking Indianapolis by storm. It's a spritely curry-flavored jam with an up and coming MC by the name of Jay-Z! Be on the look out for that kid, he'll go far.
-Watching Detroit play offense is like watching old people eat.

VabalathusVopiscus, in his life of Aurelian (100.38), asserts that Zenobia assumed the purple as regent for her son Balbatus (al. leg. Babalatus), and not in the name of Herennianus and Timolaus, which is the statement of Trebellius Pollio (Trig. Tyrann. xxix.). It is certain that we find no trace of either Herennianus or Timolaus on medals, while a few are extant, both Greek and Roman, which exhibit IMP. C. VABALATHUS AUG. or ΑΥΤ.ΟΥΑΒΑΛΛΑΘΟΞ.ΞΕΒ. with the effigy and titles of Aurelian on the reverse. But several of these bear words or characters, in addition to those given above, which have proved a source of much embarrassment. Thus, on one we find VABALATHUS. VCRIMDR., abbreviations to which no archaeologist has been able to supply a satisfactory interpretation; on others,
"Α.ΞΡΙΑΞ.ΟΥΑΒΑΛΛΑΘΟΞ.ΑΘΗΝΥ." or,
"ΑΥΤ.Κ.ΟΥΑΒΑΛΛΑΘΟΞ.ΑΘΗΝΟ.ΞΕΒ", in which "ΑΘΗΝΟΥ", &c., is supposed to stand for Α᾿θηνοδώρου υἱός, while Sroias or Srias may be a sort of praenomen. Finally, there is a rate coin displaying on the obverse two laurelled heads, one of a bearded man, the other of a smooth-faced boy, with the legend ΑΥΡΗΛΙΑΝΟΞ.ΑΘΗΝΟΔΩΡΟΞ. It would be tedious and unprofitable to enumerate the various theories proposed to solve the problems suggested by these pieces. The only conclusion we can safely form is, that Sroias, Vabalathus, and Athenodorus were princes of Palmyra, connected with Odenathus and Zenobia, but in what relation they stood to them and to each other, has never been determined.

The home of Sean Morey bears the impressive signposts of his 10-year career in the NFL: a Vince Lombardi trophy for his Super Bowl championship with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2006. A hefty Super Bowl ring. A framed photograph showing Morey in midair, launching himself like a missile to block a punt. With that play in 2008, his Arizona Cardinals became the only team in NFL history to win a game in overtime with a blocked punt.
But look in Morey's medicine cabinet, and you'll find other vestiges of his NFL career: the bottles of pills that he takes to mitigate the effects of brain injury he sustained playing football. Propranolol to help with debilitating headaches. Lexapro, an anti-depressant, to — as Morey puts it — "lengthen my fuse." Ritalin to help him focus. Trazodone to help him sleep.
Morey suffers from post-concussion syndrome.
Hundreds of other NFL players have been diagnosed with far more serious conditions: dementia, ALS, Parkinson's and severe cognitive decline. On autopsy, the brains of more than 50 players show clear signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, a progressive degenerative disease.
Morey hopes that by retiring from the NFL when he did, in 2010, he's avoided that fate.
By the end of his career, Morey was considered one of the best special teams players in the league. Special teams players sprint down the field to block and tackle on kickoffs and punts. Because of the speed and the explosive collisions that result, the kickoff return has been considered one of the most dangerous plays in football.
Morey was small for the NFL — just 5 feet 10 inches and 190 pounds. But he was fast and relentless. He was what's called a wedge breaker. "I basically hit and blocked everything I could, as hard as I could," he tells me. "Anything that moved."
And over his career, he suffered dozens of concussions. "Somewhere in the high 20s. You know, I was pretty reluctant to admit how many I'd had," he says.
But he does remember them in photographic detail; for example, one concussion that knocked him unconscious in 2007. "I was asleep," he recalls. "You feel like you're waking up from a dream. But you see the grass, you hear the noise, and you realize, 'Oh! I'm in a football game!' So you get up, and I start walking, but I'm walking sideways."
Another time, he stumbled off the field to the opposing team's bench.
In his final season in 2009, he had four concussions in just one game, he says. "Every time I hit somebody it was like getting tasered," he says.
That was when doctors told him it was time to hang up his helmet. "They said, 'There's a chance you'll never get over these headaches,' " Morey says. " 'You've been symptomatic for too long, and I just can't with a clear conscience let you play football anymore. You've gotta retire.' "
When I sat down to talk with Morey and his wife, Cara, at the home they share with their three young daughters in Princeton, N.J., they told me about the symptoms that Sean has shown over the past four years. He'll get crushing migraine headaches that knock him out of commission for days at a time. He'll launch into bouts of explosive rage, shouting at his family. He has trouble focusing, forgets things and loses his train of thought.
Sean says there's no question these symptoms are related to brain trauma sustained playing football. "You cannot have that kind of pain and have it not be related to brain damage," he says. "The dysfunction, the pain, the misery, the confusion, the desperation, the depression. ... There were instances in my life that would never have existed had I not damaged my brain."
Cara Morey has watched her husband turn into someone she doesn't recognize. "He gets a look in his eyes that you're pretty sure you've never met this person before. ... It's very scary. It's a type of rage that I had never seen, and I don't think anyone should ever see, and I don't think my girls should ever have seen it."
"There's years of my life, but more importantly, there's years of my daughters' life, that I wish I could rescript," says Sean.
Cara admits that she may be in denial about the extent of her husband's injuries and whether he might get progressively worse. "I don't want to ask myself that question because I'm scared of what the answer would be," she says.
Morey is among dozens of retired NFL players who have agreed to donate their brains for medical research when they die. He hopes his brain might provide some answers.
For now, he accepts that the damage he sustained is permanent. He doesn't think it's getting worse, so he tries to adapt. He writes a lot of reminder notes, sets alerts on his phone, stays on top of his meds. And he has devoted himself obsessively to learning about concussions and helping other players who are suffering.
He was founder of the NFL Players Association's committee on traumatic brain injury. Now, he's an independent advocate for players' health.
Morey is constantly on the phone with other retired NFL players, trying to persuade them to join him in intervening in the $765 million concussion settlement that's now being reviewed by U.S. District Judge Anita Brody.
The deal was reached between the NFL and thousands of retired players. But Morey is concerned that a lot of players are left out: players who may not have the most serious conditions, such as Parkinson's or ALS, but who are still suffering the consequences of brain injury in the NFL.
This Sunday, Sean Morey will tune in to watch the Super Bowl from home. He's hoping for a tough, physical, exciting game. But he'll be watching with a very critical eye. "Every time someone gets concussed, I'll rewind it," he tells me. "I'm looking at, did they even evaluate him? Did anybody look at him? Did they shrug it off? What's the report back? Well, they're saying, 'Oh, he got shaken up on the field.' They won't use the word 'concussion.' I'm like an educated, informed spectator. I'll watch it more closely."
From NPR News this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Audie Cornish.
And I'm Robert Siegel. On Sunday, when the Broncos and Seahawks face off in the Super Bowl there will, no doubt, be gorgeous precision passes and wily running moves. There will also be massive hits - tackles and collisions that can have the same punishing force as a car crash. And the effects of those hits are now well-known. Hundreds of players who suffered head trauma in the NFL have been diagnosed with dementia, ALS, Parkinson's and severe cognitive decline. On autopsy, the brains of more than 50 players who have died show clear signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE.
Our co-host Melissa Block spent time this week with one retired player who is struggling with post-concussion syndrome. Melissa visited former NFL special teams player Sean Morey.
MELISSA BLOCK, BYLINE: Sean Morey is now 37. He ended his career in 2010, on the advice of doctors. Morey was the rare Ivy League player who made it to the NFL. He was a star player at Brown - scrappy and tenacious; and small by NFL standards, just 5-10, 190 pounds. But he was fast and played smart. And he made it not just to the NFL but to the Super Bowl twice, the first time in 2006 with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
JOHN MADDEN: ...say who has the advantage in special teams? I think it's the Pittsburgh Steelers.
BLOCK: Sean Morey was special teams captain.
AL MICHAELS: ...and Super Bowl XL underway in Detroit...
BLOCK: The Steelers would go on to win the Super Bowl that year. Morey made it to the Super Bowl again with the Arizona Cardinals and the Pro Bowl. And in 2008, his Cardinals became the only team in NFL history to win a game in overtime with a blocked punt when Morey launched himself like a missile at the punter.
UNIDENTIFIED ANNOUNCER: ...will punt from his goal line. He's got it. Here they come! Cardinals blocked it! It's picked up! It's a touchdown! Cardinals win. Monty Beisel with a touchdown, Sean Morey with the block. How about them Cardinals?
BLOCK: By the end of his career, Morey was considered one of the best special teams players in the league. Special teams. They're they guys who sprint down the field to block and tackle on kickoffs and punts. Because of the speed and the explosive collisions that result, the kickoff return has been considered one of the most dangerous plays in football. Sean Morey was what's called a wedge breaker, fast and relentless.
SEAN MOREY: I basically hit and blocked everything I could, as hard as I could - anything that moved.
BLOCK: And over his career, he suffered dozens of concussions.
SEAN MOREY: Somewhere in the high 20s. You know, I was pretty reluctant to admit how many I'd had.
BLOCK: But he can remember them in photographic detail.
SEAN MOREY: I can rattle off a ton of them...
BLOCK: In 2006, the Super Bowl against Seattle.
SEAN MOREY: ...so somebody had peeled back, and they just crack-back blocked and hit me right in the side of the temple. And I was - that was - that was - that was a rough one.
BLOCK: In 2007, against Carolina.
SEAN MOREY: And I hit with the crown of my head and I was asleep. You feel like you're waking up from a dream. But you see the grass, you see the - you hear the noise and you realize, oh I'm in a football game. So then you get up and I'd start walking, but I'm walking sideways.
BLOCK: And in 2009, his final season, against Detroit.
SEAN MOREY: I literally had four concussions in that game. Every time I hit somebody, it was like getting Tasered.
BLOCK: What did the doctors tell you when they told you, you need to retire? What did they tell you about what would happen if you didn't?
SEAN MOREY: Well, they said that there's a chance you'll never get over these headaches. You've been symptomatic for too long; and I just can't, with a clear conscience, let you play football anymore. You've got to retire.
BLOCK: These days, Sean Morey has a sizeable pharmacy in his medicine cabinet at his home in Princeton, N.J.
SEAN MOREY: So Trazodone for sleep; Propranolol for - you know, it's a beta blocker, to help headaches; Lexapro, an antidepressant, to lengthen my fuse; Ritalin - extended-release Ritalin. Oh, and then there's also Methylphenidate, which is 5 milligrams...
BLOCK: Morey gets crushing headaches that incapacitate him for days at a time. He has trouble focusing. He forgets things, loses his train of thought. Sometimes, he explodes in rage.
Is there any question for you that what you've been experiencing, and all the symptoms you've had - that that's connected to football and to concussion?
SEAN MOREY: Do I question whether my symptoms were or were not related to brain trauma? No, there's no question whatsoever. (Laughter) Like, you cannot feel that kind of pain and have it not be related to brain damage. The way I felt, the dysfunction, the pain, the misery, the confusion, the desperation, the depression, the - it's completely - like, there were instances in my life that they would never have existed had I not damaged my brain.
BLOCK: Let me ask you what you do hear from people - which is, they knew what they were getting into, that there...
SEAN MOREY: (Laughter) Oh, that kills me. Don't even start.
BLOCK: ...was no secret that this is a dangerous, violent sport.
SEAN MOREY: Nobody has a crystal ball. Nobody can anticipate this. Like, I can sit here, and I can explain it; and I can tell you it's going to be a hell of a lot different if you're the one experiencing it. It is completely unraveling - there's no other way to put it. Like, oh, well, they knew what they were getting themselves into. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Let's be real. I mean, the NFL purported that there was no long-term issues to suffering concussions. And in fact, they said that you could go back into the same game with a concussion, with no issues.
CARA MOREY: There's a lot of denial. And it's a very scary injury and a scary disease for - well, for any family because you can't see it.
BLOCK: This is Sean Morey's wife, Cara Gardner Morey. They met at Brown, where she was a star hockey player. She's had concussions herself.
CARA MOREY: When it started, I mean, you ask yourself all the things that everybody's asking - how did we not know? I was a human biology major at Brown, so I remember saying to Sean, of course we knew there would be damage if you smash your head all the time. Like, of course we knew. We knew it from boxers. I just didn't know that's what he was doing every day.
BLOCK: As I talk with Cara and Sean Morey, I find myself noticing every time he veers off course, he'll lose himself on a verbal tangent and then wonder aloud where he's ended up.
SEAN MOREY: And, um - what was the question?
BLOCK: Cara Morey is left to wonder about her husband, is this normal?
CARA MOREY: I didn't think he was making up the pain and stuff. But when he would talk about memory issues - that he would go to the fridge and open it, and not know what he was getting - to me, that was normal. I had three young kids. I never knew what I was doing in the fridge. So you just brush it off, like, you're fine. I can't remember so-and-so's phone number. Well, who remembers a phone number, you know?
The hardest thing about this is, you don't know what is normal coping mechanisms with young kids or, you know, what are normal stressors that are going to make you react different. What is brain trauma? I don't know what is what. But he used to be very outgoing and funny. And it's hard to laugh around him now. Probably in four years, we don't really laugh.
BLOCK: But the worst is the rage, when he loses control, shouting at his wife and three young daughters.
CARA MOREY: He gets a look in his eyes that you're pretty sure you've never met this person in your life before - because he doesn't look anything like the person you know. It's very scary. And his voice is really scary. It's a type of rage that I had never seen, and I don't think anyone should ever see. And I don't think my girls should ever have seen it.
BLOCK: But they have seen it, like the major blow-up one day last spring. Sean winces as Cara recalls what happened.
CARA MOREY: Very bad, like ripped the car speakers out of the car and slammed the doors, and started walking in the middle of nowhere. And then the kids are crying, where's Daddy going? Just like, very traumatic. And they know a lot. They - I hear them talking. They say, well Daddy played football, and it really injured his brain so...
BLOCK: They say that?
CARA MOREY: Yep.
BLOCK: Is it scary for you, Sean - that rage part?
SEAN MOREY: You know, I know that there's years in my life - but more importantly, there's years in my daughters' life that I wish I could re-script, that I wish I could do over. And no kid should ever have to go through that. But sometimes, the thing that would scare me is sometimes I thought, like, when am I going to get better? And, you know, sometimes I would have really good days and I'm thinking, oh, I'm clear. And then, wham, it would hit me. And I'd be shut down for two or three days. I basically had a headache for like, two and a half years. It was just...
CARA MOREY: It's been four years.
SEAN MOREY: Yeah, but I mean, the ones that were so - and yet I know...
CARA MOREY: You just had them last week.
SEAN MOREY: I know but...
CARA MOREY: You've always - when we have these things, though, you always act like it's over. And I don't think it is. I don't even think it's close to over.
BLOCK: You said something earlier, Cara, about being in denial. And I wonder if you're still in some kind of denial. Like, do you accept that Sean has a brain injury?
CARA MOREY: No, probably not. I'm sure I'm in some denial because I think it would be really hard to accept, is this what's it's going to be like forever - or is it going to be progressively worse? I don't want to ask myself that question because I'm scared of what the answer would be; as in, I think he did a lot of damage to his brain. I think optimistically and hope - and really hope - that it can heal.
BLOCK: Sean Morey is among dozens of retired NFL players who have agreed to donate their brains for medical research when they die. He hopes his brain might provide some answers. For now, he accepts that the damage he sustained is permanent. He doesn't think it's getting worse. So he tries to adapt. He writes a lot of reminder notes, sets alerts on his phone, stays on top of his meds. And he's devoted himself obsessively to learning about concussions and helping other players who are suffering - first, as founder of the Players' Union Committee on Traumatic Brain Injury; now, as an independent advocate for players' health.
SEAN MOREY: Hey, how's it going? This is Sean.
BLOCK: On a commuter train to New York, Morey spends a lot of time on his cellphone, talking with other retired players.
SEAN MOREY: It's kind of sobering that people are struggling but they're just grinding it out.
BLOCK: He's trying to persuade them to join him and intervene in these $765 million concussion settlement that's now being reviewed by a federal judge. The deal was reached between the NFL and thousands of retired players. But Morey's concerned that a lot of players are left out; players who may not have Parkinson's or ALS, but are still suffering the consequences of brain injury in the NFL.
SEAN MOREY: One of my old teammates I talked with the other day, he has a friend that is, you know, early onset dementia and because he's not showing enough of a decline, he doesn't qualify. And that's a thing that I find, you know, unconscionable.
BLOCK: The deal is so bad, Morey feels no one should accept it. And he tells the players there's strength in numbers.
SEAN MOREY: OK. So you're on board? OK. Thank God. All right. Thanks, buddy. I appreciate it.
BLOCK: This Sunday, Sean Morey will be watching the Super Bowl from his living room couch.
BLOCK: When you watch it, knowing what you know now, will you be watching that game in a different way?
SEAN MOREY: Not really. I mean, I'll just watch the game - you know, that's a lie. That's a lie. I mean, I watch and every time someone gets concussed, I'll rewind it and basically, I'm looking at did they even evaluate him? Did anybody look at him? Did they shrug it off? What's the report back? Well, they're saying, oh, he got shaken up on the field. The first thing is, oh, he got shaken up. They won't use the word concussion.
BLOCK: So you are watching it differently.
SEAN MOREY: I'm watching it - I'm like an educated, informed spectator. I watch it more closely.
SIEGEL: That's former NFL player Sean Morey, talking with our co-host Melissa Block.

Hipsters, now you can playback your website statistics while you enjoy a fresh cup of that crazy expensive coffee bean each morning.
Google has just released a new feature in Google Analytics that allows you to express your inner rock god by playing back your site statistics as though they were staves on parchment. You have the choice of two different instruments, the fairly pedestrian piano, and a rather exotic sounding sitar.
I must admit, I was sceptical at first, but after listening to a few staves of a site I'm currently working on, I could really hear the nuances!
I'm not sure how long the feature will last, but hopefully they will realise the benefit of listening to your stats while doing things like housework and taking cat pictures.
UPDATE: The Googlers responsible for this awesome April Fools joke are Leo Deegan (G+ Profile), who came up with the idea, and Sergey Yaroshenko (G+ Profile), the engineer who implemented it. Brilliant work guys :). Ben McCann suspected it was them.

Cambridge, MA. As readers know, I recently completed five entries on Third Nephi, the book within the Book of Mormon where Jesus appears thrice, and teaches in familar and new ways. The fifth entry contains links to all the others. As I worked my way through 3 Nephi, I increasingly found helpful the books of Mormon scholar Grant Hardy, especially his reader's edition of the Book of Mormon, and his Understanding the Book of Mormon. We have stayed in touch since he contacted me first, and he graciously agreed to write two reflections on my reflections. Part 1 is here, and Part 2 follows below. FXCGrant Hardy writes:
In the last blog post, responding to Father Clooney's series on reading Third Nephi, I commented on the complexity of the narrative and stark juxtaposition of judgment and mercy. Here I want to take up two more of his initial observations: 2) "it is a history that is parallel to the Biblical accounts," and 3) "the drama seems designed to point to Jesus as the center of it all."
It is useful to read the Book of Mormon as a sequel to the Bible, though as Frank suggests, it is perhaps more accurate to think of it as parallel history, since many of the events are said to have happened at about the same time (Jesus would have visited the Nephites before the stoning of Stephen and before Paul's conversion). Whether taken as literal history or as imaginative religious literature, the Book of Mormon seeks to clarify, or perhaps even improve upon, the biblical record. For instance, the moral lessons of Nephite history are more didactic than those of the Deuteronomistic History (Joshua-2 Kings). So similarities and differences from the Bible are both worth noting.
One of the most striking differences between the Gospels and Third Nephi is that in the former, Jesus came to earth as a helpless infant. During his mortal life, most people—often including his closest associates—failed to perceive his divinity, and he died in an excruciating, degrading manner. There is a vulnerability and a weakness about the Jesus of the Gospels that has long resonated with his imperfect followers, who themselves may have been among the despised and humble. By contrast, no one is at all confused in Third Nephi about the identity or authority of Jesus. He appears to them not in mortal form, but as God, and they immediately receive him as such. Yet strangely enough, even the risen Lord is not beyond human connection. He seems to have been overwhelmed by the difference in his reception in the New World compared with the Old World, and Third Nephi reports that he wept when he declared "And now, behold, my joy is full" (3 Nephi 17:20-22).
One of my favorite passages occurs earlier in the same chapter, when Jesus dismisses the multitude, telling them that he will leave and return the next day. And then, he seems to change his mind: "When Jesus had thus spoken, he cast his eyes round about again on the multitude, and behold they were in tears, and did look steadfastly upon him as if they would ask him to tarry a little longer with them. And he said unto them: Behold, my bowels are filled with compassion towards you. Have ye any that are sick among you? Bring them hither" (17:5-7). That is when he heals the afflicted, blesses their children, introduces the Eucharist, and adds his tears to theirs. I'm not sure how all this works with theological concepts of omniscience and omnipotence, but I like to think of the Eucharist—which Mormons, like Catholics, celebrate every week—as a plea for Jesus to stay a little longer, or at least to send his Spirit until he comes again.
It might also be helpful to think of the Book of Mormon as an alternative history, that is, as a thought experiment in how things could have been different. What if the Jews had read the prophecies of Moses, Isaiah, and Joel the way that later Christians did? What would Jesus have done in Palestine if the people there had welcomed him as the promised Messiah? This was the situation in the New World among the Nephite believers, who had long awaited the coming of their Savior. They were a branch of Israel who had been prepared to receive the Lord, and centuries earlier, their own prophets had told them that "when he [Christ] shall manifest himself unto you in the flesh, the things which he shall say unto you shall ye observe to do" (2 Nephi 32:6, with a characteristic phrase from Deuteronomy).
In addition to performing miracles, Jesus reaffirmed the basic principles of the gospel, including a version of the Sermon on the Mount. Yet as Frank noted, Third Nephi "puts the Sermon in a new, broader context." No longer is it a series of wise sayings from a Jewish reformer or teacher; instead, these are the new commandments of God, delivered by him in person. Jesus also organized a church among the Nephites, complete with liturgy and clear lines of hierarchical authority—all things that, according to the historical record, developed over time in the Roman Empire.
Perhaps even more startling, the promised kingdom of God, which Jesus had proclaimed was nigh at hand in Jerusalem, actually arrived in the New World. Jesus' visitation ushered in two hundred years of peace and unity: "The people were all converted unto the Lord upon all the face of the land, both Nephites and Lamanites, and there were no contentions and disputations among them, and every man did deal justly one with another. And they had all things common among them; therefore there were not rich and poor, bond and free, but they were all made free, and partakers of the heavenly gift" (4 Nephi 1: 2-3, with allusions to Acts 2:44 and Heb. 6:4). Though Mormons nowadays tend to be staunch defenders of capitalism and the free market, there is a radical religious utopianism at the heart of their scripture, one that is in many ways more akin to Catholic teachings of social justice.Jesus at the Center
A great deal of ink has been spilled over whether or not Mormons are Christian. Both Latter-day Saints and their critics are highly defensive on the matter, and rightfully so—it goes to the heart of religious identity and salvation—yet I appreciate Frank's generous assessment of Third Nephi: "These further saying and activities of Jesus seem not to be meant to be sensational, nor to outdo and marginalize traditional Christians—the rest of us. The first [sermon in Third Nephi] represents a way of maintaining continuity with the Gospels, even while seeking to authenticate—spiritually, by teaching—the message to this new community in the new land" (which could refer to either Nephites or modern Mormons). Latter-day Saints are not traditional Christians or mainstream Christians, but we are clearly Christians of some sort (perhaps heretical Christians), and our new scripture is distinctive both in its unwavering focus on Christ and also in the way it seeks continuity with the Jesus of the Gospels.
At the same time, the Book of Mormon also asserts its connection to Judaism. The Jesus of Third Nephi has never seemed to me to be a Protestant Jesus. He proclaims the end of the Mosaic Law and the cessation of animal sacrifices, but he nevertheless asserts that God's covenants with the house of Israel are still in force. The religious community he establishes does not supersede Israel. In fact, it's just the opposite; Third Nephi ends with a promise that the Gentiles who repent and are baptized will be "numbered with my people who are of the house of Israel" (3 Nephi 30:2).
Jesus never mentions the word "grace" when he is addressing the Nephites; instead he appears as a Jewish apocalyptic prophet, foretelling the destiny of the Israel in the last days and quoting his predecessors Isaiah, Micah, and Malachi. Which is a little strange, if you stop to think about it—why would God himself need to quote scripture to bolster his authority? But it's about merging the Old and New Testaments rather than rhetorical credibility. God's work is not yet finished, and he has not abandoned his chosen people. This blending of old and new may or may not be a good idea—indeed it may simultaneously be an affront to both Jews and traditional Christians—yet it is a sincere attempt to resolve a theological dilemma that has troubled many Christians through the centuries.
I will conclude with a final observation about how the Book of Mormon Christianizes the Hebrew Bible in distinct ways, one that may make sense to Catholics who have long treasured the Psalms as part of their Mass Lectionary and Liturgy of the Hours. The Nephites were said to have brought an early version of the Jewish scriptures with them to the New World in 600 BC, and that apparently included Psalm 95, which was quoted at Jacob 1:6, 6:6, and Alma 12:33-37. It might be helpful to think of Third Nephi as an enactment of Psalm 95. When Jesus appears to the Nephites, they receive him as Israel's king and enter into his kingdom.
Psalm 95 is a kingship psalm about coming into the Lord's presence with thanksgiving, acknowledging his power over the earth, the mountains, and the sea (amply illustrated by the natural disasters in Third Nephi). The hymn continues: "O come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand"—all of which happens in Third Nephi, with a lengthy explanation of how the Nephites are the "other sheep" mentioned at John 10:17. And then this: "Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness . . . Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways, unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest."
All through the Book of Mormon, people are cautioned about hardening their hearts against new revelation. The threatened destructions finally arrive in Third Nephi, forty years after Samuel the Lamanite's warning, but the faithful Nephites who survive enjoy the presence of the Lord to an astonishing degree. And where the meaning of "enter into my rest" in the original psalm referred to taking possession of the promised land (Deut. 12:9), in Third Nephi the term is both physical and spiritual. Twice Jesus announces that the Father has commanded him to give the Nephites the promised land in the New World as their inheritance (3 Nephi 16:16, 20:14), but entering into the Lord's rest also means joining the community of believers and eventually being reunited with God in heaven: "No unclean thing can enter into his kingdom; therefore nothing entereth into his rest save it be those who have washed their garments in my blood, because of their faith and the repentance of all their sins and their faithfulness unto the end. Now this is the commandment: Repent, all ye ends of the earth, and come unto me and be baptized in my name, that ye may be sanctified by the reception of the Holy Ghost, that ye may stand spotless before me at the last day" (3 Nephi 27:19-20).
Hebrews 4:1 also alludes to Psalm 95—"Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest is still open . . ." (NRSV)—and the Jewish Annotated New Testament comments, "Since the promise went unfulfilled, those faithful to Christ can obtain it." Yet in the Book of Mormon, the minority of Nephites who remained faithful at the time of the Lord's coming did indeed enter his rest and his kingdom. (One of the most surprising modifications to the Sermon on the Mount is the deletion of "thy kingdom come" from the Lord's Prayer, presumably because, for those standing in the presence of the resurrected Jesus on that day, the kingdom had already come; see 3 Nephi 13:9-10.)
Latter-day Saints believe that the voice of the Lord in Third Nephi is the same as in Psalm 95, and the same as in the Gospels. The question, for modern readers, is whether we will be like the stubborn Nephites who hardened their hearts against that voice and were destroyed, or like their believing brothers and sisters who listened, saw Christ, and experienced the coming of his kingdom on earth. Admittedly, this is a rather self-serving challenge from a book that proclaims itself to be a new revelation from God, but non-Mormons might view Third Nephi as an innovative, even provocative way of bringing home a point that will echo with all Christians who believe that the living God still speaks to the minds and hearts of his children: "Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your heart."
I do not want to dismiss or even downplay the theological differences that separate Mormons from traditional Christians, but Father Clooney has provided a fine example of what it means to open one's heart to other faith traditions—to listen and learn from each other, to celebrate shared values, and to marvel at the varieties of religious experience in the world. I only hope that Latter-day Saints can be as thoughtful and generous as we begin to be more engaged with the scriptures and traditions of other religions—not only of Catholicism and Judaism, but perhaps even of Hinduism and Islam. Grant Hardy
I did think it was intersting that Mr. Hardy opened the door to the idea that the Books of Nephi might be ''imaginative religious literature,'' and that ''the books of Nephite history are more didactic than those of the Deuteronomistic History.'' That would be a giant leap forward in coming to an understanding of the Book of Mormon. If the Books can be understood as parables, there could be a lot to talk about.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- An Associated Press-GfK poll says most Americans think jarring economic problems would erupt if lawmakers don't increase the government's debt limit.
But the survey also shows that people are torn over how or even whether to raise it. They lean slightly toward Republican demands that any boost be accompanied by federal spending cuts.
Fifty-three percent say if the debt limit is not extended and the U.S. defaults, there will be a major economic crisis. The rest say such a crisis would be somewhat likely or they largely dismiss the prospects of such damage.
Thirty-nine percent support GOP demands that deep spending cuts be attached to any debt ceiling increase. Thirty percent back President Barack Obama's insistence that the debt limit be raised now and budget cuts be debated later.

Task force takes a look at Marcellus drilling
Members of the Elk County Gas Task Force learned more about the new Marcellus Shale drilling law that recently took effect at their Tuesday meeting, including a brief overview of shale deposits in the state. State Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Oil and Gas Manager Craig Lobins discussed what a typical well site might look like and some history about drilling. According to Lobins, the first Marcellus well in Pennsylvania was drilled in 2004. He displayed a map showing the variation of shale thickness throughout the state and noted that the shale deposits were very thick in northeastern Pa. "With Marcellus being so widespread, covering two-thirds of Pennsylvania, a lot of activity out in Bradford, Susquehanna (counties), we ended up opening up a new office in 2009, the Williamsport office," Lobins said. "Since 2009, we had a staff increase in the Oil and Gas Program of 105 new employees, new complement added. Half are out in Williamsport. "It's a field office – they have the oil and gas inspectors and water quality specialists doing the inspections, the site inspections, and they do have some engineers and biologists and geologists. And the engineers and biologists would be looking at storm water permits and encroachment permits, and the geologists would help out with any investigations or gas migrations or complaints going on."Lobins also discussed various shale formations across the country. "There's quite a few unconventional shales out there," Lobins said. "The shale is the source rock. It's the mother lode. It's where the gas and oils migrate from into the typical reservoir rocks, which would be your sandstones, your limestones, some stratigraphic traps. That's where all the oil and gas is locked up."A lot of resources there, but they were never able to get them out. I don't think they really, truly believed they could get them out until these fracking techniques evolved over the last 20 years." Lobins noted that hydrofracturing, the process of pumping pressurized water, sand and chemicals underground to open fissures and improve the flow of oil or gas to the surface, is not something new to the oil and gas well industry.There's a concern about the amount of waters used in hydrofracking. And there's a lot of buzz about fracking, hydrofracking, and I think the public thinks it's a new technology. Well, it's not a new technology," Lobins said. "Halliburton developed hydrofracking back in the 1940s. Fracking's been around for a long time."What the difference is, is the amount of water that they're using in this fracking. And I think the real reason why the water usage has increased so much is that they're using these horizontal bores. Before, if you had a formation maybe 100 feet thick, you'd have to frack maybe a 100-foot area. If you have a 5,000-foot lateral, instead of going 100 feet, you're going 5,000 feet. So that's why the volume of water has significantly increased."He said DEP was concerned about the amount of water use by drilling companies. "They (DEP) didn't want the streams to dry up," Lobins said. "So the operators have to submit a water management plan, tell us how much water they're going to be withdrawing, they have certain limits they have to follow when they're doing it. It's only for unconventional wells."Pick up a copy of the Wednesday, April 11, 2012 edition of The Ridgway Record for more.

George Washington University: Violation of Due Process Rights in Sexual Misconduct Policy
Category: Due Process
Schools: George Washington University
George Washington University (GW) proposed a new sexual misconduct policy that lacked even basic provisions of procedural fairness. In a stunning and wholly appropriate blow to the university administration, GW's faculty senate voted 15-0 to condemn a proposed sexual harassment code that virtually eliminated due process protections. The spirited discussion before the vote included references to FIRE and a resounding condemnation of Columbia University's atrocious Sexual Misconduct Policy, which has now achieved the dubious distinction of demonstrating how serious charges should not be handled in a civilized community.

A prospective client describes the problem domain. It seems easy enough for your abilities, and your consulting fees aren't an obstacle. You're already counting the money you're going to make from this IT consulting project, when the client says: "Oh, and we use <technology X>. How well do you know <technology X>?"
The answer that wants to jump off your tongue is, "Oh man, <technology X> and I go way back. Why, I even invented a form of <technology X> before it became popular. No problem."
But the truth might be closer to "I read something about <technology X> once on a blog, um, somewhere — and I thought something like well, that's nice, but what would you ever want to do with it?"
So, what answer actually comes out of your mouth? Something in between? I thought so. Me too sometimes... in the past... a long time ago.... Honest.
Little white lies = big trouble
There are good reasons why you don't want to stretch the truth. Beyond the fact that you don't want it on your conscience that you are lying to your client, there are four practical reasons why these little white lies can turn into big problems.
- You're going to have to spend a lot of your own time getting up to speed on <technology X>. You won't be able to bill for that time because you already said you know the technology. If you had told the client you didn't know the technology, they may have offered to fund your research.
- You'll be looking over your shoulder all the time to see if your colleagues notice that you really don't know as much as you said you did. This uses a lot of unproductive energy and strains work relationships.
- You won't be as likely to ask questions when you need to because you'll think that's something you're supposed to know. Every project has unknowns and asking questions not only sorts those out, but it also raises issues that might not have otherwise come to light. There are no stupid questions — only stupid IT consultants who don't ask questions because they're pretending to know more than they do.
- As a newbie to <technology X>, your first product using it will very likely suck. Well, even if it doesn't suck, it won't be as good as the product you could produce with more experience. If your client thinks, "This is what our <technology X> expert created?!?" then you can kiss that follow-up business good-bye.
What's behind the pretense?
Are IT consultants sometimes tempted to lie because of the ego suppression required to admit our ignorance, or are we afraid that we won't get the contract? I think it may be a combination of the two. It's easy to think, "Oh man, if I don't know <technology X>, I must not be much of a consultant after all. There's no way they'll hire me."
A confident consultant who has some experience will think, "I'm good at other things, and I'm sure I could learn <technology X>, too. Maybe I can sell them on that, but if not, perhaps it's for the better. And maybe I ought to look into this <technology X> for future gigs."
And you could always propose <technology Y> instead. How well that suggestion flies depends on how deep the client is into the project and how religious they are about <technology X>.
Do you ever oversell your skills?
I came clean about my past transgressions, now how about you? Do you ever stretch your experience and fake it till you make it? Or do you always give your prospect a straight-up assessment of what they can expect from you?

Don't be a turkey.
When the next person tells you how professional sports is all about blood, sweat and tears, go ahead and call their bluff. It's also about something else: Shopping.
OK, so maybe Gar Forman isn't stuffing a shopping cart full of clothes from the clearance rack. But he applied the same philosophy as he filled the Bulls' bench with cheap veterans.
And, yeah, perhaps Rick Hahn hasn't signed up to e-mail lists for everything from appliances to zoom lenses. But it's a safe bet that he has spent hours studying free agents from A-Z as he acclimates to his first season as the White Sox general manager.
So today, on the busiest shopping day of the year, here is a salute to our sports teams' most powerful shoppers.
May they never have to wait in line for a highly touted prospect.
Bargain buy: Brandon Marshall (cost: two third-round draft picks)
No refunds: Jason Campbell (cost: one year, $3.5 million)
Bottom line: Although Emery has spent only about 10 months on the job, he has offered reason to believe that the Bears could be a playoff contender for the long haul. In one move, he undid years (decades?) of neglect by adding a legitimate No. 1 wide receiver. He also pleased veterans by restructuring Lance Briggs' contract and finding common ground with Matt Forte to avoid a messy holdout.
A two-year deal for Tim Jennings also looks brilliant. Emery's next big move will be whether to re-sign 34-year-old linebacker Brian Urlacher.
Bargain buy: Tom Thibodeau (cost: first two years, $6.5 million)
No refunds: Carlos Boozer (five years, $75 million)
Bottom line: Forman was promoted to general manager in May 2009, and since then the Bulls have posted a 158-83 regular season record and a 12-15 playoff record. Almost any team would be happy with those results, but in the city where Michael Jordan won six titles, Bulls fans want a seventh. It's fair to question whether Forman has done enough to steer the Bulls on that course, especially when one considers how his big-money deal for Boozer has limited the team's ability to add a second star alongside Derrick Rose.
Bargain buy: Jonathan Toews (five years, $31.5 million)
No refunds: Steve Montador (four years, $11 million)
Bottom line: Bowman catches a ton of grief from die-hard Blackhawks fans, but has he really been so bad? He wisely locked up the Hawks' core of talented players, including Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Patrick Sharp, Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook. He added Marian Hossa on a 12-year deal that diluted Hossa's annual salary-cap hit. But NHL teams need depth players to win a Stanley Cup, and in that category, Bowman has provided more than a couple of head-scratchers. What if he had kept Antti Niemi instead of Niklas Hjalmarsson?
Bargain buy: Anthony Rizzo (cost: Andrew Cashner)
No refunds: Chris Volstad (cost: 3-12 record, 6.31 ERA)
Bottom line: It's way too soon to judge Hoyer and his boss, Theo Epstein, who inherited a complete mess when they replaced Jim Hendry after the 2011 season. Their mantra – "Progress is not always linear" – suggests that more tough times lie ahead as part of the greater goal of sustained success. Check back in a couple of seasons to see how their plan is working out, but so far, they have acquired at least one cornerstone player in Rizzo while locking up another one in Starlin Castro.
Bargain buy: TBD
No refunds: TBD
Bottom line: Hahn is a familiar face at U.S. Cellular Field, where he spent the past 12 seasons as Ken Williams' right-hand man before being promoted to general manager in October. Hahn is credited with negotiating several long-term deals with Sox players such as Paul Konerko, Gavin Floyd and John Danks, and he acted quickly this fall to re-sign Jake Peavy to a two-year deal for $29 million. As with the Cubs' brass, Hahn's long-term goal will be to develop talent through the minor leagues.

text: I accidentially upgraded the dedicated server I rent. Afterwards I put back the full backups, but after that I am not able to access any of my sites that runs under ispconfig3 and I am not able to access the web interface at :8080 . The virtual host for ispconfig do listens on 8080 according to ispconfig.vhost so no change there. What puzzles me is that an nmap gives the following results: ===== PORT STATE SERVICE 20/tcp closed ftp-data <<<<< closed 21/tcp open ftp 22/tcp open ssh 25/tcp open smtp 53/tcp open domain 80/tcp closed http <<<<< closed 110/tcp open pop3 143/tcp open imap 443/tcp closed https <<<<< closed 993/tcp open imaps 995/tcp open pop3s 3306/tcp open mysql 8080/tcp closed http-proxy <<<<< closed 8081/tcp closed blackice-icecap <<<<< closed 10000/tcp closed snet-sensor-mgmt <<<<< closed ===== ...so it looks like the firewall has closed 80, 8080 AND 443. That's really odd. They should all be open. So my question is do ispconfig3 supply an additional firewall that I need to config? Where is it likely that I will find my firewall? (the server runs Debian squeeze)

Description: The santoku is the traditional Japanese chefs knife. This comfortable design is a fantastic multipurpose chopper. The Santoku style has quickly become the new favorite for chefs in the West.
The blade is forged from blue steel #2, among the most prized of carbon steels. This steel has exceptional edge holding and takes a keen edge. The center core is forged between two layers of low carbon steel. The surface is rough ground (nashiji finish) so that food does not stick to the sides of the knife while slicing. Because the blades are forged from carbon steel, rather than stainless steel, they require minimal additional care to prevent corrosion and staining, but have a far keener edge than their stainless counterparts. A distal taper makes the light blade have a perfect balance in the hand.
The ambidextrous oval handle fits comfortably and securely in the hand. It is formed from ho wood and is finished off with a natural wood toned Pakka wood ferrule. Each knife is razor sharp and sent in a nice gift box.
