Can Penn State repair its tattered image?
A scathing report accusing Penn State coach Joe Paterno and other top university officials of hiding what they knew about Jerry Sandusky's sexual abuse of children is another crippling blow to a school and football program already reeling from one of the worst scandals in sports history.
Former FBI Director Louis Freeh's report on the Sandusky scandal charges that Paterno and other Penn State officials buried the allegations and allowed Sandusky to prey on boys for years.
Despite the report's revelations, public relations professionals and industry observers say its release was a necessary step as the university tries to regain public trust.
In the wake of Freeh's report, Penn State's trustees said they accept full responsibility for their failures in oversight.
"Our hearts remain heavy and we are deeply ashamed," Trustee Ken Frazier said in a statement.
What further steps can Penn State take to repair its tarnished image? Here are some ideas from crisis management experts, image consultants and other observers:
Let the healing begin. "As painful as this was -- and it was a body blow of mass proportions -- it was probably the best thing they could do," says Peter Shankman, a vice president at the public relations firm Vocus Inc. "By issuing the report they're doing what they haven't in 15 years. People can't start to heal until they start doing the right thing."
Former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, who left office in 2011, believes Penn State should emphasize the changes it is making to ensure that such a crime never happens again.
Apologize and take responsibility. "Penn State needs to take responsibility, apologize, be honest and show compassion," says Elizabeth Lampert, who runs her own PR firm in Alamo, Calif. "With those herculean tasks accomplished, they can begin to rebuild, but this scandal will never be 'behind' them."
Stan Steinreich, chief executive of Steinreich Communications Group in Fort Lee, N.J., says that in situations like this, it's important to tell the truth, which is what Penn State officials should have done instead of initially attempting a cover-up.
"This will be studied for a long time by those in the industry as one of the worst PR catastrophes of all time, in terms of spiraling out of control," Steinreich says. "I think that there is always a time where a corporation or an individual has to stand up and take the fire. Continuing to circle the wagons like Penn State (did) doesn't help."
Take charge. Mark Conrad, a law and ethics professor at Fordham University in New York, says university officials need to formulate a plan that sets forth sweeping changes, including stronger controls over the university's athletic programs, especially football.
And in order to restore trust, a better system needs to be created for reporting violations, Conrad believes.
"The trustees have to be more involved and more aware," says Conrad, who specializes in sports law. "The report pointed out that they weren't always. And they're ultimately the people in charge of the university."
Don Tanner, a partner with Farmington Hills, Mich.-based Tanner Friedman Strategic Communications, criticizes the university for being slow to respond since the scandal first surfaced last year.
"They have to reassure their students, their alumni, the world, that this will never happen again," Tanner said. "If more people need to be fired they need to do that. They need to show they're serious about what has taken place."
Gene Grabowski, executive vice president of Levick Strategic Communications, a Washington, D.C.-based crisis communications firm that has advised universities and Fortune 100 companies, says Penn State's plan must show a commitment to change, even if that inflicts pain on Penn Staters who feel they've done nothing wrong.
"It's not about punishing the guilty at this point," Grabowski says. "It's about demonstrating a commitment to a new way of doing business that the university now has to do. And some sacrifice must be made, and sometimes the innocent suffer. There must be a sacrificial lamb here."
He suggests the "lamb" could be Penn State's storied football program.
"That may be unfair, but it may be necessary," he says.
But Conrad says he doubts Penn State officials would take such a drastic measure as to cancel the football season, given the affect it would have on the team's players and the overall importance Penn State places on football.
Sever ties with the Paternos? Some experts believe Penn State should take down its famous bronzed statue of Paterno and sever ties with his family.
Conrad insists that any association with the memory of the former coach or his family is bad for the university right now. He notes, however, that could change down the road.
"For the time being, it's too much of a reminder," Conrad says. "People look at it and see this picture of a man that didn't take the actions that he should have. For now, it needs to come down."
The Paterno family is well known in the community for philanthropic efforts, including the millions of dollars they've donated to the university to help build a library and fund endowments and scholarships.
But recently, the famed coach's name has been stripped from other honors. Nike founder Phil Knight, who won thunderous applause with his passionate defense of the coach at his January memorial service, decided Thursday to remove Paterno's name from a child development center on Nike's campus in Oregon.
The Big Ten removed Paterno's name from the football championship trophy it had named after him.
However, Shankman says that rushing to take down the statue would be a "knee-jerk reaction." He believes the university should take some time to talk to the community and see what it wants before making a decision.
"It's a rough situation, a lot of people are not willing to speak ill of the dead, but there are a lot of people who are speaking ill of Paterno right now," Shankman says.

Two Factor Authentication or 2FA
All XMission Zimbra email accounts support a beneficial security practice known as two-factor authentication (aka, 2FA). This includes both base and premium accounts. Two-factor authentication provides mailbox protection by combining something you know (your password) and something have (your smartphone or USB-key, etc.) Once configured you will utilize the 2FA authentication with all devices and programs you use for accessing email. All major platforms support and encourage the use of 2FA.
How it works
By using both a password and a PIN code from a trusted device, like a smartphone, 2FA adds layers of login security to the account. This helps with preventing brute-forcing passwords, or if your password gets leaked/exposed/found from another site, if you use the same password on multiple systems.
In simple terms, two-factor authentication prevents unauthorized users from accessing the system because they are very unlikely to have both variables to access the account. The password and PIN are needed to login. The PIN is sent to the mailbox owner's smartphone, through something like the Google Authenticator app. If either variable is missing, access is denied.
2FA Video Tutorial
Watch this official Zimbra.com video on configuring 2FA inside webmail: https://youtu.be/_eEwnnaEvMU
How to enable
Two-factor authentication is included by default for all XMission Zimbra accounts. This means all base and premium accounts can use it. Two-factor has to be enabled from the online Zimbra webmail interface for all accounts.
- To enable 2FA go to: Preferences > Accounts > Account Security, Setup two-step authentication
- Simply click the "Setup two-step authentication ..." link to begin the configuration process.
- The first step shows a brief description about two-step authentication. Next click on Begin Setup.
- The next step will ask for your current password ("what you know"). Enter and click on Next.
- Next it will establish the second component the user must have, (the "what you have" such as a smartphone application or usb key). The Two Factor authentication wizard will show a Wiki link with the OTP Apps Zimbra recommends. In this example we will be authenticating with your smartphone. (Reference this blog post on 2FA with a USB key.)
- Once you have installed the smartphone app, the Zimbra 2FA wizard will show a unique key that the you must enter in the Smartphone OTP App.
How to Install and Configure an OTP smartphone app
In this example, we use Google authenticator, but please visit the Zimbra Wiki where you can find other options.
In the App Store or Play Store, search by Google authenticator, then click Install.
Once the app is installed, open it, and click Begin Setup.
The app will ask if you want to configure a Manual entry or Scan a barcode. Zimbra Collaboration 8.7 supports only manual entry for now. However, keep in mind the next Bug where it is being discussed to add the option to support barcodes
=To configure the App, the users must add an email address and the unique Key from the Zimbra Web Client.
All done! Now the app is configured and will show a 6-digit code that changes after 15 seconds.
Finishing the configuration in the Web Client
- Once the user has the App configured and showing the 6 digit code, the user can enter the Code in the wizard window and click Next.
- The two-step authentication feature is now enabled, and the user will be prompted for a code in each new Browser, smartphone, computer, or app where he or she tries to access the account.
- In the users' Preferences > Accounts > Account Security (if the Admin has enabled these options under the COS), the user will see more options like the one-time codes, Trusted devices, and Applications. as
Testing Zimbra Two-factor authentication
We recommend testing from a new web browser session on another computer.
Time to test from another web browser, computer, smartphone, or the Zimbra Desktop application, you should successfully pass the two-factor authentication process.
For example on the Web Client: One-time Codes
NOTE: With the two-factor authentication enabled, there may be a situation where you don't have the secondary device (phone/usb key). This is where Zimbra allows the use of one-time codes. This feature allows you to generate multiple codes to use in case of emergency. The total number of one-time codes can be configured by XMission. If you need these refreshed let us know.
From the Preferences settings for 2FA you will find "One-time Codes" option, click View to see your available codes. You must keep the codes secure (written somewhere, in another device, etc.). Just be certain it is an absolutely secure area where others won't find it.
Trusted Devices
Zimbra Web Client and Zimbra Touch Client can be configured as trusted devices during the second challenge stage of two-factor authentication. Once the computer/device is established as trusted you will only need to provide standard credentials, bypassing the two-factor code.
How to trust a computer/device
Once the user enters two-factor code in the login screen the user will have to select the check box Trust this computer and click Verify to trust the current computer/device. User can trust more than one computer/device.
How to revoke trusted computer/device
You can easily revoke a trusted computer/device in Preferences > Accounts > Trusted Devices found in your Zimbra webmail. Revoke trust for any selected device by clicking "revoke this device" link or get rid of them all by clicking on "revoke all other devices" link.
Application Passcode
Clients such as IMAP or ActiveSync do not support the UI flow needed for TOTP authentication. This means that you will need to use the Application Code section to create codes for IMAP and ActiveSync use. For these users need to generate application passcode.
Application passcodes:
Randomly generated. Can be created by giving a label and revoked by their label. Changing account password will revoke all application passcodes.
How to create an application passcode
- Users can create an application passcode by navigating to Preferences > Accounts > Applications and selecting Add Application Code button.
- Next enter the application name you desire in the "Add Application Code" dialog and click Next.
- Application passcode will get generated, then it can be used to sign in to your account from that device.
Revoking Application Codes
Once the user generates application passcode user can revoke it by navigating to Preferences > Accounts > Applications in Zimbra Web Client. Users can revoke this application passcode after selecting the required name in the list.
Known Issues
Zimbra bugs
Bug 103824 {AUTH} Provide 2FA configuration capability in ZCO
Bug 104144 2fa:ReferenceError: AjxDebug is not defined when zimbraFeatureTwoFactorAuthRequired in multinode rolling upgrade environment
Bug 104648 allow clearing 2FA data from admin console
Bug 105678 Application specific password entry should be purged when 2FA disabled from Admin Console
Disabling two-factor authentication using Admin console does not clear user's two-factor data. Admin can disable user's two-factor authentication in case user is facing issues with authentication using TOTP/scratch codes. Re-enabling user's two-factor authentication using Admin console after user's problem has got resolved will allow user to use two-factor authentication. In future, Bug 104648 will allow Admin to clear user's two-factor data.
Third party issues
Issue - Mail client issues with application passcode
Scenario: User's zimbra account is configured on EWS Apple Mail and Thunderbird (IMAP/POP3). User enables 2FA using Web client, adds application passcodes for Apple Mail and Thunderbird applications.
Expected behavior: Both clients (Apple Mail) and Thunderbird should prompt for new password, user if enters application passcode, authentication should succeed.
Current behavior:
EWS Apple Mail app complains about connection failure and provides option to enter new password, wherein entering correct application passcode does not work. Only option is to Edit Account and provide new password, which works correctly.
Thunderbird (IMAP/POP3) prompts for new password after some time (after few minutes or sometimes after restarting client)
Failed Login Attempts
Please note, use of Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) does not prevent account suspension due to exceeding failed login attempts limits.

Who knows when Google's Project Glass will actually be released. We only know that Google co-founder Sergey Brin has a pair. One augmented reality expert couldn't wait, so he hacked together his own. This is what it looks like.
Augmented reality developer William Powell's AR goggles (inspired by Project Glass) sure has hell ain't as sleek as Google's eye wear, but it works just about the same:
Inspired by Google Project Glass, I combined a pair of Vuzix glasses, HD webcams and mic headset with an application written in Adobe Air. It harnesses the dragon naturally speaking engine so can perform full audio recognition.
The application uses Yahoo weather services to find local weather information. It can create appointments (only within app) using the full speech recognition. Also the app can take photos upload them and share them.
U.S. & World
You can see for yourself in the video below of Powell checking the time, requesting music, making an appointment, checking the weather, taking a photo and then sharing it to his Google+ circles. Powell's hack seems to work pretty good.
Powell, a developer for CEO Vision that builds augmented reality interfaces that combine face recognition and tracking, image recognition and hand gestures insists all of the footage seen in the video is real — no special effects added.
Not bad, not bad at all. But notice how Powell is sitting stationary. Can we have some footage of him walking around on the streets while trying to juggle his AR pop-ups? Or would it look a lot like this parody?

U.S. Charges Chinese Tech Giant Huawei, Top Executive
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Justice Department is filing charges against Chinese tech giant Huawei.
A 13-count indictment was unsealed Monday in New York charging Huawei, two of its affiliates and a top executive at the company.
The charges include bank fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
A separate case filed in Washington state charges Huawei with stealing trade secrets from T-Mobile.
Meng Wanzhou, the company's chief financial officer, was arrested in Canada on Dec. 1. Prosecutors allege she committed fraud by misleading American banks about Huawei's business deals in Iran.
Prosecutors charge Huawei used a Hong Kong shell company to sell equipment in Iran in violation of U.S. sanctions.
Huawei is the world's biggest supplier of network gear used by phone and internet companies.
24 Million Mortgage And Bank Loan Documents Leaked Online
A trove of more than 24 million financial and banking documents, representing tens of thousands of loans and mortgages from some of the biggest banks in the U.S., has been found online after a server security lapse.
The server, running an Elasticsearch database, had more than a decade's worth of data, containing loan and mortgage agreements, repayment schedules and other highly sensitive financial and tax documents that reveal an intimate insight into a person's financial life.
But it wasn't protected with a password, allowing anyone to access and read the massive cache of documents.
It's believed that the database was only exposed for two weeks — but long enough for independent security researcher Bob Diachenko to find the data. At first glance, it wasn't immediately known who owned the data. After we inquired with several banks whose customers information was found on the server, the database was shut down on January 15.
With help from TechCrunch, the leak was traced back to Ascension, a data and analytics company for the financial industry, based in Fort Worth, Texas. The company provides data analysis and portfolio valuations. Among its services, the Ascension converts paper documents and handwritten notes into computer-readable files — known as OCR.
It's that bank of converted documents that was exposed, Diachenko said in his own write-up.
Sandy Campbell, general counsel at Ascension's parent company, Rocktop Partners, which owns more than 46,000 loans worth $4.4 billion, confirmed the security incident to TechCrunch, but said its systems were unaffected.
"On January 15, this vendor learned of a server configuration error that may have led to exposure of some mortgage-related documents," he said in a statement. "The vendor immediately shut down the server in question, and we are working with third-party forensics experts to investigate the situation. We are also in regular contact with law enforcement investigators and technology partners as this investigation proceeds."
An unspecified portion of the loans were shared with the contractor for analysis, the statement added, but couldn't immediately confirm how many loan documents were exposed.
TechCrunch has learned that the vendor is New York-based company OpticsML. Efforts to reach the company were unsuccessful. Its website is offline and its phone number was disconnected from service.
In a phone call, Campbell confirmed that the company will inform all affected customers, and report the incident to state regulators under data breach notification laws.
From our review, it was clear that the documents pertain to loans and mortgages and other correspondence from several of the major financial and lending institutions dating as far back as 2008, if not longer, including CitiFinancial, a now-defunct lending finance arm of Citigroup, files from HSBC Life Insurance, Wells Fargo, CapitalOne and some U.S. federal departments, including the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Some of the companies have long been defunct, after selling their mortgage divisions and assets to other companies.
Though not all files contained the highly sensitive and personal data points, we found: names, addresses, birth dates, Social Security numbers and bank and checking account numbers, as well as details of loan agreements that include sensitive financial information, such as why the person is requesting the loan.
Some of the documents also note if a person has filed for bankruptcy and tax documents, including annual W-2 tax forms, which are targets for scammers to claim false refunds.
We verified the authenticity of data by checking a portion of names in the database with public records.
"These documents contained highly sensitive data, such as Social Security numbers, names, phones, addresses, credit history and other details which are usually part of a mortgage or credit report," Diachenko told TechCrunch. "This information would be a gold mine for cyber criminals who would have everything they need to steal identities, file false tax returns, get loans or credit cards."
Although the documents originate from these financiers, one bank — Citi, which helped to secure the data — said it had no current relationship with the company.
"Citi recently became aware that a third party, with no connection to Citi, was storing certain mortgage origination and modification documents in an unsecure online environment," said a Citi spokesperson. "These documents contained information about current or former Citi customers, as well as customers from other financial institutions. Citi notified law enforcement, initiated a thorough forensic investigation and worked quickly to ensure the information could no longer be publicly accessed."
Citi confirmed that "third party is a vendor to a company that had purchased the loans and we have found no evidence that Citi's systems were compromised."
The bank added that it's working to identify potentially affected customers.
Dozens of other companies are affected, including smaller regional banks and larger multinationals.
A Wells Fargo spokesperson said the data was obtained by Ascension from other entities that purchased Wells Fargo mortgages. HSBC said it was investigating if any of its customers' data, including past customers, and confirmed it had "no vendor relationship with Ascension since 2010." When reached, CapitalOne did not comment at the time of publication. A Housing and Urban Development spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment. The department is currently affected by the ongoing government shutdown. If anything changes, we'll update.
It's the latest in a series of security lapses involving Elasticsearch databases.
A massive database leaking millions of real-time SMS text message data was found and secured last year, as well as a popular massage service and, most recently, AIESEC, the largest youth-run nonprofit for working opportunities.

Brandon Truaxe, Founder of Deciem Skin Care Company, Is Dead At 40
Brandon Truaxe, the former CEO and founder of the skin care company Deciem, has died at age 40.
An executive at the company confirmed Truaxe's death in an email to Vox, which also obtained the email sent by acting CEO Nicola Kilner to Deciem's staff.
"I can't believe I am typing these words. Brandon has passed away over the weekend. Heartbroken doesn't come close to how I, and how I know many of you will be feeling," read the email, which also indicated that the company's "offices, warehouses, factories and stores" would all be closed Monday to "take the time to cry with sadness, smile at the good times we had, reflect on what his genius built and hug your loved ones that little harder."
A spokesperson for the Estée Lauder Cos., a minority investor in Deciem, told HuffPost: "Brandon Truaxe was a true genius, and we are incredibly saddened by the news of his passing. As the visionary behind Deciem, he positively impacted millions of people around the world with his creativity, brilliance and innovation. This is a profound loss for us all, and our hearts are with Nicola Kilner and the entire Deciem family."
Representatives of Deciem did not immediately respond to HuffPost's request for comment, but they did post a heartfelt message about Truaxe on their Instagram page.
"Thank you for every laugh, every learning and every moment of your genius. Whilst we can't imagine a world without you, we promise to take care of each other and will work hard to continue your vision. May you finally be at peace. Love, (forever) your DECIEM," they wrote.
The Toronto-based company, nicknamed "The Abnormal Beauty Company," was called Deciem after Truaxe's intention to launch 10 lines under the brand's umbrella, though the brand has now exceeded that. Arguably its most famous line, The Ordinary, has gone on to achieve near-cult status for its affordable prices and ubiquity. The line is currently sold at Sephora.
As for Truaxe, he has had a multitude of highs and lows with the company. On the heels of a near-rave review in The New Yorker in early 2018, Truaxe began to appear erratic on social media and use the company's pages to post bizarre messages and videos. By the end of the year, Estée Lauder took legal action against him, and Truaxe was ousted by a judge as CEO. Kilner has been the acting CEO ever since. Additionally, Truaxe was issued a restraining order by several executives at Estée Lauder.
While the cause of Truaxe's death is currently unknown, a report published in Canada's Financial Post in December 2018 indicated that he'd been previously hospitalized for mental health issues several times and had problems with drug use.
The response on social media has been widespread, as many fans of his skin care brand mourn his death:

[The View From Washington]
A coup d'état is defined as a strike against the state. It is the sudden, illegal ouster of a government, usually by a small group of the existing state establishment.
In a typical coup the military is used to depose the existing government and replace it with another body, civil or military. It consists, according to military historian Edward Luttwak "of the infiltration of a small, but critical, segment of the state apparatus, which is then used to displace the government from its control of the remainder."
Americans are very familiar with coups. The American government has been involved in overthrowing foreign governments for years. In 1893 American marines overthrew Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii. In 1909 President Taft ordered the overthrow of Nicaraguan president Jose' Santos Zelaya.
In 1953 the CIA's Kermit Roosevelt and General Norman Schwarzkoph, Sr. masterminded the overthrow of the democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran, Mohammad Mossadegh. In 1954 there was the Guatemalan coup, in 1963 there was the South Vietnam coup, in 1973 there was the US backed coup in Chile, and in 1991 there was the US coup in Haiti that removed democratically elected president Jean-Bertrand Aristide, just to name a few.
Historically the American government has used American media to promote and rationalize the need for "regime change" in foreign countries. Misinformation, distortions, and lies have been presented as truths in order to convince Americans that "dictators" must be overthrown in order to protect American security, American interests --usually business or access to resources-- or to stop the rise of a socialist or communist leader.
Today ultra-conservative interests are engaging in similar tactics. They are not using the military; it is a bloodless coup. A small, but critical, segment of the state apparatus is attempting to effect regime change by corrupting the American democratic process. Under the pretext of "voter fraud" ultra-conservatives are working fervently to decrease the number of legally registered Americans that will be able to vote in the 2012 election by enacting laws requiring voters to show government issued photo identification at the polls.
According to the Brennan Center for Justice, "More than 5 million Americans could be affected by the new rules already put in place this year — a number larger than the margin of victory in two of the last three presidential elections." Too many in mainstream media are blindly reporting this false "voter fraud" issue as fact and not asking those who are promoting it to provide evidence to support their claims.
The logic is clear and makes perfect sense. Only those legally registered to vote in American elections should be allowed to do so. Any appearance of voter fraud in the process taints the outcome and jeopardizes the democratic process. Laws need to be put in place to ensure that only eligible registered voters exercise the franchise.
Even though the logic makes sense, the problem with the new voter ID laws being enacted is that they are addressing a problem that does not exist. According to Mother Jones, "The analysis of 2,068 reported fraud cases by News21, a Carnegie-Knight investigative reporting project, found 10 cases of alleged in-person voter impersonation since 2000. With 146 million registered voters in the United States, those represent about one for every 15 million prospective voters…"
In Pennsylvania, the latest state to approve ID laws, the state attorneys signed a stipulation agreement acknowledging that there "have been no investigations or prosecutions of in-person voter fraud in Pennsylvania; and the parties do not have direct personal knowledge of any such investigations or prosecutions in other states." Simply put, there's no data to support the claim. They passed a law to address a problem that does not exist.
Another problem with the new voter ID laws is that they have a discriminatory impact on the electorate. Most of the legally registered voters that will be impacted by the new laws are primarily seniors, people of color, those with disabilities, low-income voters, and students. According to the Citizens Without Proof report, "…11% of voting-age American citizens—and an even greater percentage of African American, low-income, and older citizens—do not have current and valid government-issued photo IDs." Preventing these demographics from voting is the real motivation behind these laws.
According the Brennan Center for Justice, "16 states have passed restrictive voting laws that have the potential to impact the 2012 election (Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, and West Virginia). These states account for 214 electoral votes, or nearly 79 percent of the total needed to win the presidency."
Also, at least nine states introduced bills to reduce their early voting periods, and four tried to reduce absentee voting opportunities. Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Tennessee, and West Virginia succeeded in enacting bills reducing early voting. It's no coincidence that of those states listed above all but three (Illinois, New Hampshire, and West Virginia) have Republican governors with Republican controlled legislatures with New Hampshire having a Democratic governor with a Republican controlled legislature. The 1965 Voting Rights Act was passed to protect the effected constituencies in many of the states that are passing ID laws in violation of the Act.
Why are ultra-conservative Americans undermining the American democratic process under the hypocritical pretext of protecting it? One person one vote is the cornerstone of Jeffersonian democracy. So much so that American soldiers are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice defending it at home and promoting it abroad.
By passing these unjust Voter ID laws and changing other voting processes they are engaging in attempted regime change. They are violating the most cherished Constitutional protection in a bloodless coup d'état against America's first African American democratically elected president.

by Richard and Missy Lee
In the course of researching and writing a book for teens, "Careers in the Restaurant Industry," we learned that running a restaurant is one of the toughest businesses you can undertake. Survival — much less success — is relatively rare; so many things can go wrong. Yet for the gifted entrepreneur, hospitality can be rewarding in more ways than one.
Such a person is the hearty and charming Rob Rosato, who launched Scoogi's Classic Italian restaurant, bar and catering business in Flourtown 20 years ago, at age 24. From his days at Wissahickon High School, Rob's dream was to own a restaurant, but the road he traveled to make his dream come true was almost from the frying pan into the fire. Rob graduated from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York (frying pan), and then worked for Marabella's restaurant in Avalon (more frying pan), and for the late Chef Tell Erhardt, at his enterprises stateside and in the Cayman Islands (definitely the fire). Tempered by that crucible, Rob rented an existing restaurant at 738 Bethlehem Pike in 1990, and Scoogi's was born.
Only at first it wasn't Scoogi's, which is not a real word in Italian; it was to be a possessive derived from scoozi, which is "excuse me" in Italian. It was only after the signage and menus were done that, as Rob said, "I got a cease-and-desist letter from an attorney in Chicago. There was this Midwest chain of Italian restaurants named Scoozi's, and they didn't want us using the name. So I fired back: Was it OK [with them] if I changed 'z' to 'g'? It was. We did. And that's why the place is named Scoogi's."
Clearly, this ill-fated beginning was not an evil omen, for Scoogi's has flourished. (Rob bought the facility after five years.) "It starts from the top," Rob said with a sly smile. Yes, as owner and executive chef, he does set the standard, but he's especially proud of his 48 employees who maintain it, sparked by general manager Lynda Engler. At times, the staff includes his father, Angelo, who enjoys doing kitchen prep, and his mother, Marie Louise, who has a way with desserts. The elder Rosatos have retired to Florida, but still visit — and work —periodically. Rob's wife, Jennifer, also helps out; however, she is a full-time nursery school teacher at St. John's Lutheran Church in Blue Bell. The Rosatos, who live in Gwynedd Valley, have four children: Sophia, 12; Angelo, 10; Robert, 8; and Thomas, 6.
Rob and his staff play the versatility of the Scoogi's building like a Stradivarius. Its main dining room and adjoining atrium seat 120, with another 20 seats in the connecting bar. Folding screens help adapt these spaces for lunches and even dinners along with simultaneous private parties. (We were once served lunch on a day when the restaurant was hosting two funeral buffets; service was attentive despite the crush, and the food was as good as ever.)
Ah, the food; bet you thought we'd never get there! "We stress value in our menus," said Rob. "We're more creative than some restaurants, but we're not sophisticated past the point of pleasing the customer." Also, Scoogi's is generous. "We want people to feel they're getting a lot of food for the money." We can attest to that; many a Scoogi's lunch or dinner has done next-day duty at our house.
The extensive and attractive menus for lunch, dinner and banquets can be viewed online (www.scoogis.com). Doing so will give you far more time to explore than would be the case when, at lunch, for instance, you are faced with 18 appetizers, six soups, nine salads, and — well, you get the idea. Many items, marked with tiny tomatoes, are vegetarian.
One of our favorite lunch and dinner appetizers that's almost a veggie meal in itself is described thusly: "Baked Brinata, an Italian-style Brie [cheese] nested in puff pastry and baked until golden brown, topped with caramelized onions, figs and a sweet balsamic glaze." This gem is $10.95. "Our cheese purveyor put me onto this one," Rob told us, "when he had me sample the Brinata. It's a little different from Brie, but has the same character. I built this dish around it."
At dinner, we are especially fond of, among the dozen seafood dishes over pasta, Scoogi's Seafest: clams, mussels, shrimp, scallops and jumbo lump crabmeat simmered in marinara sauce and served over angel hair pasta. Easily enough for two (or for tomorrow's lunch), this is among the higher-priced offerings at $23.95.
These are just samples of the wide-ranging menu. And yes, unlike the policy at many restaurants, you can have pizzas, sandwiches and burgers at dinner as well as lunch. Also, the entire Scoogi's menu is available as take-out.
How has Rob Rosato developed such an extensive yet distinctly Italian menu? "We're always reviewing the menus, to track what's popular and what needs improving. When we create a new dish, or our variation of a classic, I use my staff as a focus group; they taste-test every dish, and their opinions count. Together, we decide what goes in and what comes out."
Ever the good marketer, Rob and the Scoogi's staff offer dinner and lunch specials, including what we call "frequent fryer cards;" offering $7.95 off every seventh lunch and $9.95 off every seventh dinner. Other dinner specials include bring-your-own-wine on Mondays, 7 items at $7 each on Wednesdays, and Kids Eat Free on Sundays. Also on deck is Texas Hold 'Em in the bar on Wednesday nights, plus other bar-only specials. And, leaving no opportunity ignored, the restaurant will be offering a mystery-dinner theater production, yet to be named, starting in January.
In just one of his many gestures of goodwill to the Wissahickon Valley he calls home, Rob and the group producing the show will audition at Wissahickon High School to cast two juvenile roles for the production. And if all goes well, a second show — not a mystery — will be added in February.
Scoogi's Classic Italian, 738 Bethlehem Pike, Flourtown, is open daily for lunches and dinners, take-out, banquets and off-premises catering. Reservations suggested, especially on weekends: 215-233-1063. To view history and menus: www.scoogis.com.

BRUSSELS: Europe arranged more loans for clean energy projects than the US last year, and China overtook the US to become the world's biggest clean energy investor, as revealed today in Bloomberg New Energy Finance's annual league table results.
Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) today released its 2012 Clean Energy and EST League Tables. The annual analysis identifies the most active and innovative investors in clean energy sectors including smart grids, energy efficiency, electric vehicles and carbon capture and storage.
While total investment dropped 11% to US$268.7 billion for industry segments including wind, solar and biomass power generation, China overtook the US to become the world's biggest clean energy investor last year.
China's investment rose 20% to a record US$68 billion, driven largely by solar. China now makes up a quarter of global clean energy investment, which stands at US$269 billion, and the nation's investment is more than 50% of the US's, which ranked second. Dipping as much as 32% on 2011's clean energy investment, the US totalled US$44 billion.
Clean energy investments also increased in South Africa and Japan.
Michael Liebreich, Chief Executive, Bloomberg New Energy Finance, said: "This is the eighth year we have prepared annual league tables showing the most active deal-makers in the sector. The transactions in 2012 that helped to produce winners this time included everything from a US$1 billion-plus offshore wind financing, to a US$701 million energy storage acquisition, to an US$18 million venture capital investment in a solid-state lighting technology developer."
He added: "Indeed, the most striking aspect of these figures is that the decline was not bigger – given the fierce headwinds the clean energy sector faced in 2012 as a result of policy uncertainty, the ongoing European fiscal crisis, and continuing sharp falls in technology costs. Solar PV module prices, for instance, fell another 24% over the course of last year."
While overall investment from Europe was down, Europe's development bank, the European Investment Bank (EIB) was named Top Lead Arranger in the tables. EIB loaned a total of $2.2 billion to the clean energy industry in 2012, helping rank Europe as one of the world's biggest clean energy investors, beating US Government funding.
EIB's investments were spread over 18 deals which include a US$663 million loan for a wind farm in Germany owned by EnBW Energie Baden-Wuerttemberg.
Commenting on the German wind farm, Wilhelm Molterer, Vice President, European Investment Bank, said: "Demanding projects are required so that Germany can implement its ambitious energy aims. EnBW Baltic 2 sets standards. It will be exemplary for future projects of this magnitude. With the financing that has now been agreed, it will be possible to implement the extensive project quickly and make a decisive contribution to the success of the energy transition."
This top investment sum comes one week after the announcement that EIB's shareholders and its 27 European Union member states had approved a €10 billion capital increase focusing on four areas, including clean energy.
Among the leading deal-makers, member of The Climate Group, Goldman Sachs (United States) was also awarded Top Public Markets Lead Manager.
Damian Ryan, Senior Policy Manager, The Climate Group commented: "Europe's better performance in stimulating clean energy investment last year has a lot to do with policy certainty – or rather the lack of it in the US. The delayed renewal of the Production Tax Credit for wind power created havoc in the industry last year. If the US is serious about developing large scale, clean energy infrastructure it needs to move beyond stop-start measures to providing long, loud and legal investment frameworks."

On the stick, to get
Page 2 of 2 | Previous page
Semper Ubi Sub Ubi
Page 2 of 2 | Previous page
Roger Landa:
I would suggest that "Get on the Stick" is a very old term to mean get to work, or get back to work, probably used by overseers of slaves or workers when beating grain to separate the wheat from the chaff. Also, sheep herders used a stick to prod their herds into moving along.
How about a caterpillar that must get on the stick to complete it's cycle to become a butterfly? Maybe?
M Ross:
One fun use of Google is to search for particular phrases in print. That's note perfect standard because not everything is scanned and vocal expression usually predates written expression. At any rate, the first references to the phrase "get on the stick" are from:
Business week: Issues 3300-3306 (1941) "European allies from Ireland to Italy are pleading with the burly Chancellor to get on the stick. "Our markets are sliding away," says Hans-Jurgen Marczinski, managing director of Thyssen Maschinenbau."
The Compass of Sigma Gamma Epsilon: Volume 27 (1949) "For one thing, I will be able to tell the fellows back at State College that all those Texans and Californians are doing things, and we fellows back in the East had better get on the "stick," so I will do my best to rejuvenate them."
By 1950, a definition has emerged from The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science: Volume 269 (1950) "To get on the stick: To work at the crap table, either as dealer or stick-man."
So… there you go.
In musical terms, "get on the stick" means not to lag behind the beat of the director's baton.
On a more humorous note (pun intended)… My Dad told me the origin of "dirty end of the stick" (or as he put it, the "$hit end of the stick") came from the days before indoor plumbing, there was a stick used to measure the level of (compost?) under the outhouse. As there was also no lights in the outhouse, you for sure didn't want to pick up the dirty end of the stick. As the youngest of 13 brothers, he was often left holding the dirty end of the stick when his Bros would flip the stick in the dark corner where it was kept. Brothers haven't changed all that much over the years, lol.
Oh – for the unenlightened wondering why you would want to measure the level under the outhouse – moving the outhouse was one of those things you didn't want to wait until the last minute to do when it was needed. It involved digging a fairly deep hole. That's also why the term "solid as a brick outhouse" has kind of a dubious meaning.
J. R. MacDonald:
Where I grew up in the mountains of North Carolina (where there were still plenty of outhouses) instead of just "get on the stick", we would say "I better get the shit on the stick." I wonder if this is related? Another local gem was used when we talked about someone going very fast. We would say something like "They was goin' down the road just a shitin' an' gitin' it!"
get on the stick was use by us kid back in the 1940's
Herb Reeves:
While in college, in the era before calculators, I roomed with an engineering student. Our calculating device was the slide rule, which performed the basic mathemtical functions by inscribed logarithmic scales on both the body of the ruler and a "slide."
It was often referred to as a "stick," and when we needed to get down and cram for an exam, we said we needed to "get on the stick."
I won't argue that this is the source of the expression, but it fit the circumstances so well that it probably kept it alive for another generation or two.
Perhaps it is referring to horse racing where the jockey has to go to the whip or "stick" to encourage the horse to finish strong.
Pure speculation here.
In former times watermen on coastal sounds, inland rivers and canals propelled their boats by poling, as do traditional Venetian gondoliers today. I wonder if the expression might be derived from a boat captain ordering a hand to pole harder.
It would be interesting to learn if the usage distribution is more concentrated in areas where poling boats was common.
When selling tobacco at the auction house they sell on the "stick" the selling is so fast you have to stay on the stick and keep up. Then at other auctions it spread and the auctioneers Ringman would say to the bidders we are selling on the stick or say to the bidders lets go ladies and gentleman get on the stick.
Eva Roberts:
This is an utterly American expression. Not part of English (as in "coming from England")at all.
More speculation here. In his harrowing account of growing up in the brothels of San Diego, Horace Sonny remembered a visit with a John being referred to by the workers as a "stick." I wonder if "get on the stick" could have been the refrain of the Madam, rallying the "girls" for another night's work.
Ben F:
I wonder if "get on the stick" is a corruption of "get off the stick." After all, one gets off the stick by getting unstuck.
Alternatively, if "get on the stick" is the older expression, "get off the stick" could be a fusion of "get on the stick" and "get off the dime."
I feel it means Quit resting on the shovel handle and get back to work.

Via the Guitarz Facebook page our friend Jarma asks what are the guitars being played by The Association in this 1960s TV performance.
Well, the bass is easy: it's a Gibson EB-2 semi-hollowbody bass. Initially I wasn't too sure what the rhythm guitar was, so I moved onto the solidbody lead guitar as I was sure we had featured one very much like it here on Guitarz. Sure enough, it's a Hagström Impala, and that made me think that perhaps the rhythm guitar is a Hagström too - a twin-cutaway semi-hollowbody design with a Strat-like head?... it's a Hagström Viking, surely? (As used by Elvis in the '68 Comeback Special).
It's a great video clip, by the way. Thanks for that, Jarmo!

A pop-up house set up shop in the heart of Toronto at Yonge-Dundas Square this week (May 28-30), inviting those with environmental allergies to learn more about combating their symptoms with engaging multimedia displays and experts on hand to offer advice.
Known as the Merck Allergy Relief House, the picket-fenced building is well worth a visit as it makes its way across Canada. It has already stopped in Vancouver, moves on to Toronto's Yorkdale Mall in June and financial district workers with pollen and dust issues will next get a chance to visit at Toronto's Bay and Wellington streets. Then the Relief House heads off to Montreal.
A giant touch screen offers an allergy-quiz to test knowledge, while a 3D display shows an in-depth visual description of allergy symptoms, without the need for 3D glasses. Tablets, mounted on stands, can be found throughout the house, welcoming visitors to participate in questionnaires, quizzes and an allergy app.
The house is divided
into sections, each representing a different Merck product: hydraSense (a nasal rinse), Claritin and Aerius (new-generation antihistamines).
The Claritin room contains a touch-screen allergy quiz, plus a tablet running a special Claritin app, which gives up-to-date pollen and mold counts for the area. For those interested in getting a closer look at their allergen, the Aerius room contains powerful microscopes showing highly magnified images of pollen and dust on attached screens.
Friendly brand ambassadors provide helpful information on the products and respond to any questions visitors may have. For questions they can't answer, an allergist and a pharmacist stop by during designated hours to field questions from anyone who is interested.
Numerous product samples (at the cost of a penny for legal reasons) are offered. Anyone can take the samples with them to see which relieves their symptoms the most, or to give to a friend who has allergies.
Visitors are encouraged to join communities connected with the products using the provided computers and tablets. These include the hydraSense "Dolphins Club", where members get free coupons, a newsletter, and can even get help planning a baby shower.
Other screens display a contest entry form for Aerius, prizes of which include an in-home visit by an allergist and $10,000-worth of allergy-proofing home renovations.
The Merck Allergy Relief House is at the Toronto locations until June 21. It will be up and running again in Montreal in the fall.
Relief House's full schedule:
June 10-16, Yorkdale Shopping Mall (3401 Dufferin Street)

Google AdWords Keyword Matching Options.September 16, 2008
You're probably aware of the quality targeted traffic Google AdWords can bring to your website through Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising, and if so, you should be aware of the importance of keywords.
Google provides several keyword matching options to enhance the exposure of your ads, which when used correctly, can pre-qualify visitors and maximise your advertising budget.
Google's keyword matching options include: –
•   Broad Match
•   Phrase Match
•   Exact Match
Broad Match
Broad Match is the default keyword type where the advert runs on relevant variations of your keywords and phrases. This means your ad could display when the search term includes synonyms, singular/plural forms and other phrases containing your keywords.
Google's example provides an excellent example of how this keyword matching option operates. In their example, if the keyword web hosting is used, the advert would display for the following search queries:
web hosting company
web site hosting
You can see that related synonyms also trigger the advert to display, along with additional terms within the triggering keyword (such as site in the last example).
As the keyword variations triggering your adverts change over time, Google continually monitors the keyword quality and performance, meaning you continue to display the highest performing and most relevant keyword variations.
Broad match has several advantages: – more visitors can be attracted to your site as your advert is displayed for other keyphrases which you may not have thought about targeting, but are still relative to the keyword you've chosen.
The disadvantage to broad match keywords is that unwanted search terms may trigger the ad to display (if not correctly managed using negative keywords, which will be explained later).
Phrase Match
The next keyword matching option is phrase match. Phrase match keywords trigger your advert to be displayed if the search query contains the keyphrase in the order specified, and phrase match keywords are enclosed in quotation marks (" "). For example, the phrase match keyword "football boots†will display for the search queries such as:
football boots
buy football boots
football boots review
but would not display for search queries such as:
boots for football or football shoes.
Phrase match has the advantage of being more targeted than broad match, but also has the disadvantage of potentially displaying the advert for an unwanted search query if not correctly managed using negative keywords, i.e. for the phrase match keyword "football boots†the advert would also display for the search query free football boots. If your business is selling football boots and your ad displays for this term, you're unlikely to make a sale from this searcher!
An important note: For phase match keywords, your keyword or keyphrase triggering your ad is not case sensitive to the search query.
Exact Match
The third keyword matching option is exact match. Exact match keywords will only display the advert if the search query is exact to the keyword.
Exact match keywords are enclosed in '[' and ']' characters.
For example, for the exact match keyword [buy dog bowl], the advert will only display if the search query is buy dog bowl and would not display for any other search query.
Exact match keywords have the advantage of being extremely targeted if you know an exact popular term for your industry.
Negative Keywords
The final and equally important keyword matching option is negative keywords. Negative keywords are used to NOT display the advert if the search query contains the negative term. Negative keywords are used by placing a '-' character before the keyword.
For example, if your business is selling web templates, using the negative keyword
–free will not display your advert if the search query as free web templates.

The American Council on Exercise (ACE) has released its annual fitness trends forecast for the coming year, with obesity awareness topping the list.
Citing data from the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, which indicates that the country's obesity rate had seen its first small decline in more than three years, the association's 2012 Fitness Trends to Watch report stated that the population is finally starting to take action toward the epidemic.
In a press release, Cedric X. Bryant, chief science officer at ACE, predicted that increased awareness of the health risks associated with obesity would drive a demand for more holistic health and well-being coaching from fitness professionals.
Other trends highlighted in the report include more community-based initiatives to offer fitness services and well-being education; the continued rise of technology's role in fitness through social media, mobile apps and online programming; expanded programming for senior and youth markets; and greater employer support for wellness programs, including subsidized memberships to fitness facilities and health clubs.

Hi ya,
Has anyone else tried to make xfce look a little bit like the new gnome shell? Here is my attempt so far:
If you're wondering about the black bit down the side, that's a hidden panel with launchers. Oh, and the "applications" label at the top left is actually a launcher to synaptic (it was originally to xfce's Application Finder but I prefer synaptic atm).
Nice !

Two Indiana women were arrested for allegedly encouraging their teenage daughters to fight in a video posted on Facebook, police said.
Brandy Mills, 33, of Union City, Ind. and Teresa Mendenhall, 38, of Portland, Ind. were seen in the video cheering their daughters, 16 and 17, and preventing others from stopping the melee, Capt. Bill Bradbury told WRTV. Both women were arrested for neglect of a minor, a Class D felony. The juveniles could also face charges for disorderly conduct, he said. The video was taken by a teenager not involved in the fight and posted on his Facebook wall.
"Officers also witnessed several other adults and teenagers watching as the fight was ongoing, none of which contacted the police department," Bradbury told the station. "Nearly 20 onlookers have been identified and have been … (banned) … from entering the park in the future."
U.S. & World
Other than doing the math on 33 minus 16, we don't know if there's much to add to this debacle. In a less private world, one's private behavior becomes public -- in some cases that's bad, and in others where there's a chance others can be hurt, it can be a good thing. If only we acted as if we were always being filmed, it would be a better world, right? But then you see this video and realize cameras don't seem to change human behavior that much.

NFL: Suspensions overturned for Saints players
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- The suspensions of four players in the NFL's bounty investigation have been lifted by a three-member appeals panel. The league reinstated those players a few minutes after Friday's ruling.
The panel said Commissioner Roger Goodell did not have jurisdiction to hear the players' appeals of their punishment for their roles in the New Orleans Saints bounty program that paid cash bonuses for hits that injured opponents.
While the ruling allows Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma, Saints defensive end Will Smith, Cleveland linebacker Scott Fujita and free agent defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove to play immediately, it does not permanently void their suspensions.

Some changes in playstyle
Last night was painful. We ran Kara, and the mobs and bosses were dropping like flies. And then my healbot quit just before we took on Netherdrake. Shortly after that I DC'd, and came back to my corpse (a charred earth spawned in the interval between when I quit being able to do anything and I logged off). I came back and things ran fine, except healbot never came back.
Determined that this never again be a problem for me, I have spent large chunks of hours since examining options. What you're about to read is my tentative solution, with typical digressions and discussions.
There are several issues ongoing with this. First, one of the major reasons for my DC is that I've been pushing the computer load. As I've said before, I run with a computer many readers would consider woefully unacceptable (Dell Latitude 110L laptop) – and am 'satisfied' if my framerate exceeds 10
dps fps. Even so, I've got some serious memory hogging addons running which need deleted – they were for play and examination, and aren't really doing that much for me.
Still, as I said in an earlier post, HealBot is a HUGE advantage for healers – well, raidhealers. I missed it a LOT last night. What I did as a quick solution was turn on Grid (with a bunch of healer-oriented packages) and try to do target-keyboard casting as much as possible. It … worked, but not anywhere near as easily or swiftly as I'd come to appreciate in this game. (Click, click. Click, button.) I decided after ending last night that I'd Do Something About This.
The first plan was to have a backup for HealBot. In other words, do what I tossed together last night but in a more useful fashion. I have decided I don't like grid – I can see why people do, but I don't play it enough to remember that this dot in that corner means a dispel magic is needed, and a dot in that corner… well, you get the idea. Even so, the tiny real estate it occupies is oh-so-tempting, and I have no doubt I'll try it again sometime down the road.
However, the other half – no, the much more important part of the system was to have a quick and easy casting system with the grid. I liked click-casting, and went looking. While there are several, I found two that were actually quite good – clique and click2cast.
Simplistically, they're the clickcast part of healbot. Pick a cast, assign it to a mousebutton combination, and when your mouse is over a frame then that frame is targeted for that combination. I'm going to tell you up front that this is good. Clique is more complex, allowing you to do MORE than just framecast. Click2Cast is smaller and fully reliable. But…
I'd assigned (in healbot) my left and right clicks to particular spells. And I naturally tried to do the same in both of these. Unfortunately, both of the programs then treated it like a macro – that is, all "normal" functions of the left and right click were not available. I couldn't target things with my left-click, and I couldn't pull down menus with a right-click. It's allegedly POSSIBLE to fix this for clique, though an hour of searching left me no wiser. Click2cast has no chance of dual-purposing at this time (found that info in about ten minutes).
So… I puttered a bit, and thought a bit, and came to another realization. For the last week or so, about a quarter of my casts still haven't used healbot. Due to peculiarities or my misunderstanding, there are a few casts that don't work they way I think they ought to work, and to get around this I target and click – exactly what I was unhappy about above. Not least in this is that I couldn't dual-task trinket-use with casts. Or to better explain, I've got macros that /use trinket /cast spell, but to do it with healbot meant two clicks (key and/or mouse). feh. (For the record, Clique allows you to add a trinket use to a spellcast – and a lot more. It is, indeed, a good addon. Just didn't hit my exact taste.)
At about this same time, I was playing with various raidframes to see my preference. I could live with pretty much any of them – yes, even grid. My criteria was enough information (I like to know the status of the buffs I cast and what hots are running as examples), but keeping the operational status low. The latter meant I regretfully passed on XPerl. agUF didn't quite give me the tastes I wanted. Pitbull was close as was sRaidFrames – each offering something the other lacked.) And after staring at and configuring and staring some more at little boxes all over my screen, I decided I needed a break and read some blogs.
While at BigBearButt's I saw his article on providing Mouseovers in the blog and had an "AHA!" moment. A quick look at all my macros, and I'm at work.
Here's the outline. I already use macros for a lot of my spells, and they're target selection macros instead of this-that-spellchoice macros. (That is, "if friendly target it, if foe target the foe's target…" instead of "if this mod use maxrank, if that mod use lesserrank, if that out of combat use this spell instead…") One quick line added to the bunch is SO FAR working wonders. [target=mouseover]
It's still click the keyboard while pointing with the mouse. While I've some thoughts on that, I've not tested them. What I HAVE realized, however, is that I may be doing away with healbot. Because I may – just may – have reduced the necessary real estate load while keeping all the functionality I need.
You're welcome to suggest shifts, alternatives, and so forth. In fact, I encourage it. But don't blankly copy what I've done because at this instant I'm not sure it's a great answer. It just looks like it MIGHT do what I need – and I'm sharing because if it works for me there might be someone else out there who can use it as well.

I've always done all of my healing manually. I never liked Healbot, it just wasnt my style. Instead, I just set my healing assignment as my 'focus' and have my heals macroed to heal my focus target when I press the shift key, leaving me free to target whatever I want (usually some tank or other that just ate a crushing or the rogue that always manages to take a cleave)
I guess I'm an old school stubborn player. Actually, more like lazy. I've never grown accustomed to using focus macros. I'm still doing the whole point and click deal because I never really figured out how it worked and how to best apply it. Back in the 40's, it was always click on player, flash heal. Click on other player, flash heal. All the stuff you've suggested seems to work wonders. I would have no idea ow to use it and I'm hesitant to give it a dry run on our raid nights.
I use Pitbull for most of the info that healbot provides, but I didn't like having to have a separate set of bars for each party or raid member if I wanted to click cast them. I may look into added that mouseover to a few macros for heals on a unit frame, but for now I use decursive for dispels and abolish disease.
I use UnitActionBars from the wowace site for my click casting. UAB lets you bind custom menus or spells to keys, and is smart enough to change what's available based on range and even the type of window you click on. If you only have 1 spell bound to that menu, it automatically casts it. So for example, you could have ctrl-left click bound to cast shield on friendly frames (party, raid, pet, friendly target) but SW: pain on hostile targets (target, focus, ToT, etc). It's super flexible and the author is good about incorporating suggestions into the addon.
I use Clique ad I think it is great. The loss of the "normal" click functions was a concern at first but I just added them to the "alt+button" option and retrained myself to use that instead of that which I had been used to. Did't take long.
Ok laugh as you may.
I personally don't care for mods too much with the exception of decursive. When I was a "healing priest" I tried various addons and found it to be simpler and more fun to do it manaully.
Now I do use a couple of focus macros and such that I have written myself, but other than that I feel mods are basically a waste of time because they only make you look like you know what your doing and don't really teach you to "play your toon and learn it's quirks, abilities and pitfalls.
Knowing how to do this manually imho will make you a much better player.
WTB frame rate that does damage!

The wait is finally over. Three months after the iPhone 4S released, Apple's A5-powered handset finally has an untethered jailbreak. In this guide we'll walk through the entire procedure so you can free your iPhone 4S.
The tool for this jailbreak is called absinthe (apparently iOS hackers like to party). It's an untethered jailbreak, meaning you won't need to connect your device to a PC whenever you reboot. We have the instructions and download links for you to have your A5 device jailbroken in no time.
If you're on an older iOS device, you can refer to our post for jailbreaking non-A5 devices.
1. Download Absinthe
The first thing you'll want to do is get the Absinthe tool. It can be downloaded from here for Mac and here for Windows.
After downloading the package, unzip.
2. Backup your device in iTunes
This isn't technically necessary, but it's probably wise to backup your device before jailbreaking.
3. Run Absinthe
After connecting your device to your PC via USB, simply open the Absinthe jailbreak tool. It should detect your device and give you the option of jailbreaking it.
Press "jailbreak" to begin the process. It should take you through several steps (all of which will take some time), as seen in the screenshots below:
The next stage of the process will make it appear that your device restoring from a backup:
Next your device will start to reboot:
After rebooting, it will "send payload data" (remember that this is all happening without any additional input from you):
Finally, you'll get this "almost done" screen:
Though it says to look for a "jailbreak" icon on your device's home screen, the icon is actually called Absinthe:
Your device should then reboot, and return with a Cydia icon in its place. You're jailbroken! You can check out our list of the best Cydia apps to help you get started.
* If you get an error when opening Absinthe, it's because the Greenp0ison servers are down. You can try turning on VPN (Settings>General>Network>VPN and selecting the "jailbreak" VPN). This shouldn't be necessary anymore.
