CHARLOTTE, N.C ( TheStreet) -- Either way, US Airways' ( LCC) Charlotte hub is primed to grow in 2013. With creditors in the American ( AAMRQ.PK) bankruptcy case apparently in the late stages of evaluating a merger, many in the airline industry expect US Airways and American to combine early in the coming year. That would make Charlotte the second biggest hub for the world's largest airline. But even without a merger, Charlotte is growing. Next year, non-stop service to London Heathrow will begin March 30; Charlotte will become one of just 14 U.S. cities, including Raleigh-Durham, with service to Heathrow on a U.S. carrier. On May 5, Charlotte-Sao Paulo, Brazil service will begin, complementing existing Charlotte-Rio de Janeiro service that began in 2009. US Airways has said that a merger would mean about 50 additional daily departures, as it would push more passengers through Charlotte. Charlotte is already the world's third- or fourth-largest single-airline hub. US Airways' winter schedule has 601 daily departures, down from 631 this summer, when Delta had 994 Atlanta departures, American had 740 Dallas departures and United had 620 Houston departures. Comparing Charlotte and Houston is difficult. United averaged 584 Houston departures during calendar 2012, but had 652 daily departures on peak days in July. Houston tends to have longer flights and more revenue passenger miles, which measure the number of passengers flown one mile. Within the ranks of the Charlotte hub's management team, a sense of wonder still exists that a livable, largely suburban, medium-sized Southern city has become one of the most important U.S. airline hubs. "We have more (departures) than Air France in Paris, more than British Airways in London," said Terri Pope, Charlotte station manager since 2000 and vice president for the Charlotte hub since 2009, speaking to about 60 hub managers at an annual Christmas lunch on Thursday. "Yep, Charlotte, North Carolina," she reminded. Hunter Miller, senior manager for customer service, recalls that he started working for US Airways predecessor Piedmont Airlines in Roanoke, Va., in 1979. Roanoke was then one of Piedmont's three largest stations, with about 60 daily departures, similar to Piedmont's levels at Atlanta and Washington National. "The thing that amazes most employees is not the fact that we have grown so big, since Charlotte has been the largest hub for US Airways for quite a number of years, but the fact that we are the second-largest airline hub east of the Mississippi," Miller said. At the lunch, managers reviewed the year's accomplishments, including successfully managing record local traffic for the Democratic National Convention in September. Throughout the year, Charlotte's operational performance was strong. Pope ticked off metrics including a best-ever, 11-month 68.1% rate for aircraft departing by D-0, or exactly as scheduled; a best-ever 79.2% for aircraft arriving on time, and a best-ever 73.4% rate for successful aircraft turn times, as measured against a base of how long it ought to take. Levels for mishandled bags were also at record lows. "It's all about you guys," Pope told her staff. Under Pope, the Charlotte hub has flourished, particularly since the 2005 merger with America West. US Airways President Scott Kirby has said that Charlotte is the fourth most profitable major airline operation in the country, in terms of profit margin, after Newark, Washington National and Houston. US Airways now employs about 7,000 people in Charlotte, including a dedicated human resources manager, a system heavy maintenance manager and two corporate communications staffers. Mike Bryant, the airline's director of tower operations, is at work on an innovative project to determine whether hub operations around the world might benefit from a new approach in which aircraft remain at the gate longer, rather than moving as quickly as possible into a line to await take off. The change could result in a bit more time before flights close their doors, leading to fewer missed connections and mishandled bags. But hub management, involving hundreds of daily departures by various airlines, is a complex field and Bryant is at the early stage of his research. Perhaps the biggest concern for the Charlotte hub is not the increased traffic that would result from a merger, but rather the potential retirement of Jerry Orr, 71, longtime director of Charlotte/Douglas International Airport. Orr is recognized as one of the country's best airport managers. In many cities, airport integrity is challenged by local government officials who look enviously at airport revenue and wonder why they do not have more control over it. Orr, airport manager since 1989, is largely able to resist political interference with the airport's $85 million annual budget, paid entirely by airport operations. But who is to say that a younger, less-established successor could do the same? Pope spoke about Orr, telling her managers: "He has been our biggest advocate and our best partner. He is the best aviation director in the industry (because) he has always felt that if he could produce the best product at the lowest possible price, he has succeeded." At less than a dollar per passenger, Charlotte has the lowest per-passenger charge of any major U.S. airport. As widely respected as Orr is, Pope nevertheless told her employees: "(Even) if you don't know him, you need to stop him and sincerely thank him. I don't think (anyone) can hear that enough. We are successful in Charlotte largely because of him." Follow @tedreednc -- Written by Ted Reed in Charlotte, N.C. >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Ted Reed

Stephenville (Newfoundland and Labrador)
Stephenville [1] is a town in Western Newfoundland. The town is the 12th largest in the province and the 6th largest outside of the St. John's Metropolitan Area, in terms of population. The town is the second largest centre on the west coast of the island, serving as the hub of the Bay St. George region. Because of this, the town is a terrific location from which to explore the southwestern corner of the island.
Stephenville was settled late by Newfoundland standards. The first settlers did not arrive here until the mid 1800's, and for different reasons than the rest of the island. The first people of Stephenville were not fishers from the British Isles but rather farmers of French descent. More specifically, Acadians from the west coast of Cape Breton island. These people settled on the rich farmland that lay at the head of Bay St. George, just inside the sheltering arm of the Indian Head Range. This range is a part of the Long Range Mountains, which are in turn part of the Appalachian Mountains. The Long Range Mountains continue up the coast east of the bay, while the Lewis Hills, home of Newfoundland's highest point, Cabox, lay to the north.
The geography provided isolation from the rest of Newfoundland, allowing the people to continue on the culture and tradtions of their Acadian heritage. This includes the use of the french languague, which was the primary mother tongue of the area until the 1950's.
In 1940, the United States Army Air Force began the construction of an air field at Stephenville. After studying the east coast of Canada and all of Newfoundland, they chose Stephenville for its incredible weather record, which includes the most clear weather flying days in Atlantic Canada. In a few short years, the french farming village was transformed into a modern town of over 5,000 people, predominantly english speaking. Today, the people of Stephenville look to their military past with pride. Despite the almost universal use of english as the primary language, the people of Bay St. George are still noted for a certain french flair in their dialect, especially just west of town on the Port au Port Peninsula.
Get in[edit]
You can reach Stephenville easily. Firstly, if visiting from the mainland or anywhere off the island, you can reach Stephenville by air. Stephenville has its own international airport with connections to just about anywhere, but first you have to connect through Halifax or St. John's as they have the largest airports within the Atlantic region.
Provincial Airlines - Daily Service to St. John's
Sunwing - Seasonal Service to Toronto - Pearson
Air Saint-Pierre - August Seasonal Service to St-Pierre et Miquelon, France
Porter - Summer Seasonal Service to Halifax, Ottawa and Toronto - Billy Bishop
Bus Service[edit]
DRL Coachlines offers daily service to and from Stephenville. Departing at 10:15am going east and departing 7:00pm going west from Stephenville Airport.
Eddy's Shuttle Service operates out of Stephenville International Airport to downtown Corner Brook, 4 round trips daily. To check for schedule call 1-709-643-2134.
Highways and Ferries[edit]
If travelling by car, you first have to take the Marine Atlantic Ferry from North Sydney, Nova Scotia to Port aux Basques. From there it's a 2 hour drive north on the Trans-Canada Highway to Stephenville. Turn off the Trans-Canada Highway onto provincial Route 460 - White's Road (also known as Hansen Highway) or Route 490 - Stephenville Access Road. Both roads leads into downtown Stephenville.
Get Around[edit]
Once in Stephenville you can get out and enjoy the region by car or on foot. The flat topography of downtown Stephenville makes getting around as easy as can be, no matter how you choose to do so.
By Car[edit]
The town offers no mass transportation system of any kind besides taxi. Three taxi companies - "Bluebird", "Crown" and "United Class" - operate in and around town. Each one offers a flat rate of $8 dollars for in town trips, $10 dollars for a round trip and an additional $1 dollar for each stop.
When driving in Stephenville remember that the speed limit for all municipal roads is 40km/h unless otherwise stated. In some areas, particularly in the downtown, it is customary to drive slower than the posted limit and be mindful of pedestrians and other drivers. Stephenville has been noted for having some of the most courteous drivers in Canada.
By car you can take route 460 along the French Ancestors route around the Port au Port Peninsula, Newfoundland's only truly bilingual region. On the Port au Port penisula make sure you drop by Sheaves Cove for some beautiful scenery it's located near the limestone mine at Lower Cove.
On Foot[edit]
If you prefer to walk, then get out and explore the town. The Walk-A-Ways Trail system meanders through Stephenville. Walk the shores of Bay St. George past former American military bunkers and colourful fishing boats. Continue on along Blanche Brook, Stephenville's central greenbelt and newest park, created after the 2005 flood which displaced more than 300 residents. Follow the signs through the Valley neighbourhood, around Ned's Pond, up to Maryland Drive and take in a breathtaking view of Stephenville and Bay St. George.
Walk through and see the former Ernest Harmon Air Force Base. Following the closure of the largest U.S. Air Force Base outside the continental U.S. in 1966, the base was amalgamated with the town of Stephenville by the mid-1970's. Today the base, Stephenville's east side, is a colourful neighbourhood whose streets are all named in honour of American bases. Where else can you walk from Carolina to California in under 30 minutes?
See[edit][add listing]
The Blanche Brook Fossil Forest - Located just off the Hansen Highway and accessible by a special leg of the Walk-A-Ways Trail System is the fossil forest. The brook bed is the location of more than 200 fossilized trees dating back over 300 million years to a time when Newfoundland was located nearer the equator. These trees were over 50 meters tall and 2 meters wide at the trunk.
Trapper Joey's Lookout - Turn off route 490 and onto Harbour Drive. Take a right onto the first dirt road on your left. Don't travel in too far, you'll need to park and hike up. At the top is a viewing platform built out from the limestone hillside which provides a magnificent view of Port Harmon, the town of Stephenville and the Lewis Hills to the north, as well as the Port au Port Peninsula to the northwest. If you camp overnight, watch for the lights of Stephenville International Airport just a few kilometres away as airplanes swoop in and land below you.
See the sites, the French heritage, the American influence, the fishing outport history. It's all in one town.
Do[edit][add listing]
Barachois Provincial Park is located just under 30 mins from town on the TCH. This is the largest provincial park in Newfoundland, with over 3500 hecatres of land. The park has hiking, boating and swimming areas as well as an interpretation centre and a comfort centre with full shower and laundry facilities.
Zenzville Campground is also located just outside town in Kippens. The campground offers full serives like Barachois and is closer to town. If you enjoy hiking check out the Gravels Trail located in Port au Port West just outside Stephenville. The park also offers pool and waterslide facilities among other amenities.
Have you ever golfed with the ocean on one side, a picturesque pond on the other, surrounded by mountains and Newfoundland wildlife, and a moving backdrop of some of the world's largest aircraft? Well, you can in Stephenville.
Harmon Seaside Links was constructed by American servicemen in the 1950's after a runway reconstruction project by the USAAF left an arm of land, that separated Stephenville Pond (now Port Harmon) from Bay St. George, unused. A 9-Hole course was constructed, which has since been expanded to a Graham Cook designed 18-hole course.
Green Fees - Prices are very competitive, just $40 for 18 holes or $30 for 9 holes. Access to the driving range is just $4.00.
The club also has a fully stocked and serviced pro shop for all a golfers needs. The course is typically open in early April and operates until mid-October.
The course is located on Massachusetts Drive, just south of Stephenville International Airport.
Live Theatre[edit]
Stephenville is home of the renowned Stephenville Theatre Festival, Newfoundland longest running theatre festival. Every year the festival produces professional shows, typically 5 different productions that go on over the summer. These include drama, musicals, kids shows and more by a variety of writers, both local and internationally recognized. The festival employes over 80 people each season and performs at the Stephenville Arts and Culture Centre on Massachusetts Drive.
The Stephenville Theatre Festival is the crown jewel in Stephenville's cultural crown and a prized piece of the tourism product. It truly is a can't miss event which has been reviewed by the Globe and Mail and New York Times among others.
Lewis Hills Trail - Hike the highest point in Newfoundland, Cabox. Rising 2,671 ft above sea level, Cabox is located on the International Appalachian Trail.

The Lewis Hills themselves, of which Cabox is part, are located just 18km north of Stephenville.
The Indian Head Range Trail can be accessed from Stephenville Crossing, just off Route 490. The trail is a sidetrail of the International Appalachian Trail Network. It dips in and out of beautiful valleys, skirting ponds and providing majestic views of Stephenville and Bay St. George. Keep an eye out for the rock formation which gives the trail its name, the Indian Head.
Erin Mountain - Located inside Barachois Pond Provincial Park, Erin Mounatin provides a hike which takes about 2.5 hours up to a summit approximately 340m up.

Biologists distinguish sexual monogamy from social monogamy. As DNA testing has grown cheaper in recent years, we've learned that most species formerly classified as "monogamous" (primarily birds) are socially monogamous, but not sexually so. In other words, they form pairs that cooperatively care for that season's brood of young, but the male may well not be the biological father. Applied to humans, we argue that a more flexible approach to sexual fidelity can increase marital stability and thus lead to greater social and family stability.
This passage I find a bit irritating, for reasons I can't explain:
Another problem is that most people in the West marry because they're "in love," which is a temporary, blissfully delusional state we should enjoy, but not expect to last forever. As the German poet, Goethe put it, "Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing. A confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished."Okay, well, I'll try to explain. It annoys me when people make the distinction between the initial thrill of falling in love and the day-to-day work of a romantic relationship and suggest the two are diametrically opposed. While that initial rush certainly fades, I find that it comes back in waves that are, let's be honest, much more manageable than the initial swooning and dizziness. Birthdays, weekends, anniversaries, other people's weddings: quite often I am blissfully and delusionally in love. The rest of the time, we're best friends who love each other deeply and like to screw. But I don't get where people get this idea that "love" disappears once you start doing laundry together.

Don't Announce You're Open When You Just Blocked Someone Out
from the just-a-suggestion deptEarlier this week, Salesforce.com founder and CEO Marc Benioff bashed Microsoft and its new cloud computing initiative, suggesting that it was unfriendly to partners: "They hate everybody and we love everybody, and that's pretty much the difference. We even love Microsoft. ... This is our core strategy, love." While we tend to agree that Microsoft's strategy leaves much to be desired, that doesn't mean that Salesforce's strategy is really all that much better. In response to Benioff's claims that they "love everyone," the CEO of Zoho suggests a less lovey-dovey version of Salesforce.com, noting that Zoho was all set to launch products on Salesforce's own cloud computing platform, Force (formerly AppExchange), when suddenly Salesforce.com blocked Zoho -- mainly because Zoho offers a competing CRM system.
Just a reminder that it's easy to say you're open -- but if you're not really open, someone's going to call you on it.

Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness, and hold such men in esteem; because for the work of Christ he came close to death, not regarding his life, to supply what was lacking in your service toward me.—Philippians 2:29-30
That many Christians in our day are lukewarm and somnolent will not be denied by anyone with an anointed eye, but the cure is not to stir them up to a frenzy of activity. That would be but to take them out of one error and into another. What we need is a zealous hunger for God, an avid thirst after righteousness, a pain-filled longing to be Christlike and holy. We need a zeal that is loving, self-effacing and lowly. No other kind will do.
That pure love for God and men which expresses itself in a burning desire to advance God's glory and leads to poured-out devotion to the temporal and eternal welfare of our fellow men is certainly approved of God; but the nervous, squirrel-cage activity of self-centered and ambitious religious leaders is just as certainly offensive to Him and will prove at last to have been injurious to the souls of countless millions of human beings. The Size of the Soul, 81-82.
"Lord, give me that 'zealous hunger for God,' that 'avid thirst after righteousness,' that 'painfilled longing to be Christlike and holy.' I want to give myself in 'poured-out devotion' for Your glory. Use me as Your servant, for Jesus' sake, Amen."

Want to place an ad email email@example.com
$50+GST / month
Another 4 temperature controllers are built and ready for a fermentor near you. These are in a new slim line case, and still being sold for $100 each. The next batch however will be $125.00 due to the increased cost of the cases. So be in quick out of the 4 shown 2 will have a new home soon.
Views: 491
Hi Paul, are you still selling these? I just did a quick search and found http://www.djsbrewingsupply.co.nz sell them, but I've never heard of them before and prefer to buy local anyway. Where do you get your units from, would you sell these as they come without the case etc, and do you have any 30 amp ones as-well like on the djs site, I'm after a heating and cooling one for a fridge, and a higher amp one for a HLT.
Hi Sam, I get my units from China, then buy local for cables, boxes etc. I use the 10A ones for heat/cool fermenting fridges, but use a different PID for HLT ebay Temp PID you can find the STC-1000 on ebay to, I normally buy 5 at a time. I still have 1 STC-1000 10A cased unit, in stock $100, but not individual units.
I haven't heard of DJS before either.
djsbrewingsupply is run by one of the members on here,donald stewart,he's a good guy and will go out of his way to help you, definately recommended.
Cheers Martin, good to know, always nice to find another good home-brew equipment supplier
Hi Paul,
How do you find the PID controllers, are they hard to program, any issues, and are you selling made up PID ones as well? Are you planning on getting any more separate units in (PID and or STC-1000), if so I would be keen to get in on a order, happy for you to take a cut as would still be cheaper than local (and I don't have ebay, paypal or know about import tax etc), if not which seller do you use? Cheers
Hi Sam,
Yeah no worries, I think I still have a 240v PID spare. I have 3 off them in my controller build (thats the big black panel photo that I have uploaded), one each for HLT, Boiler, and HEX. If not I can get one for you, and also a STC-10000 with the next batch that I buy. Will sort out the cost and let you now before I place the order.
The PID's are plug n play, easy to setup. All of the setting's by default are ready to go, as the logic part of a PID is simply an inbuilt algorithm that interprets variables it receives to output an efficient variable to control the temp,,,,,hmm okay that sounds tricky. Basically it learns that if the temp changes between 2 deg over 2 minutes, then to eliminate that 2 degree change the power needs to be sent to the element for 6 10 second bursts. So PID takes care of the turning on and off of the element to keep the temperature at the required setting.
I can give you a hand to set up the PID if you want.
Hi Paul,
Sounds great, cheers for your help. What size elements are you using for your HLT, I'm not sure what size I should go for (planning on making a HLT from a 50 litre keg with help from Chris Banks assuming I can find a keg). Using standard power outlets and plugs etc limited to 10 amp so under 2.3kw if that's enough. I'll try asking the wholesaler about some higher rated gear so I can go to under 20amp absolute max (under 4.6kw) but likely costly, or trying if possible to switch 2 smaller elements on their own separate circuit to stay under 10amp each, using the PID to control 2 separate relays / contactor for each element, I think using higher amp rated gear and one element would be easier though, I'll have to talk to a sparkie at work.

Jefferson National Protects Crucial Production Applications with Zerto
Zerto Virtual Replication Eliminates Disaster Recovery Complexity for Financial Services Firm
Boston, US — November 7, 2012 — Zerto, the industry's first hypervisor-based replication solution provider, today announced that Jefferson National has chosen Zerto Virtual Replication (ZVR) to provide disaster recovery services for its internal file server and production applications. Jefferson National is an innovative financial services firm that provides tax-deferred investing solutions to a network of more than 2,000 registered investment advisors (RIAs) and fee-based advisors nationwide, helping them serve their clients to build wealth and achieve their financial goals.
Jefferson National implemented ZVR to protect a new data center that was recently opened for redundancy and failover purposes. The company is currently protecting a variety of mission—critical production applications including SQL servers, web servers, Exchange and its online variable annuity product, a unique tax-deferred investing solution that allows advisors and their clients to manage and trade between more than 380 different underlying funds, including stock funds, bond funds, commodity funds, ETF portfolios and more. By replacing its previous replication technology with Zerto, Jefferson National achieved a recovery point objective (RPO) near zero and reduced its recovery time objective (RTO) from four hours down to minutes.
"Zerto's replication solution is incredibly simple to set up, use and manage. We recently did a disaster recovery test to fail over production to our Atlanta data center. With just a few clicks, and in less than 30 minutes, we had all of our production applications back up," said Jeff Chandler, VP of Technology Operations, Jefferson National. "Zerto's hypervisor-based replication solution eliminates risk. Furthermore, support has been outstanding, and it delivers on the RPO/RTOs that our company requires."
Zerto offers a virtual-aware business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) solution, which replicates data within the virtual infrastructure instead of in physical storage. By moving replication to the hypervisor, companies extend the benefits of virtualization, including flexibility, mobility and scalability, to their disaster recovery solutions.

I went with some friends to do an easy hike from the upper tram station. After the 100 F heat in Palm Springs, it was such a relief to step out of the upper station and into the cool woods of Long Valley. I've never seen so much water running down the creek there - no drought this year! We headed up the trail towards Round Valley, while enjoying the pleasant rushing sound of the nearby creek. Past the creek ford, we encountered occasional patches of snow, some 2 or 3 feet deep.
The area around Round Valley was saturated with water - the faucet near the ranger station was gushing vigorously and nearby, a small snowmelt creek ran across the trail. Campers should be happy this year with the easy access to water.

I was interesting in checking out the Tamarack Valley meadow, so we followed the confusing trail network to the campsite area, then headed up the valley on the old Mt. San Jacinto trail, which was hard to follow due to snow patches and fallen logs. Soon we arrived at the small meadow area, just starting to green up after the long winter. A nice spot to enjoy lunch.
Afterwards we headed back to Round Valley and took the upper part of the loop trail, which took a scenic course through granite boulders and picturesque trees to a junction with the Hidden Divide Trail. Blackened trees were evidence of the forest fire here a few years back; the trail headed west towards Taquitz Valley was closed due to the fire damage. From here, we headed back to the tram station on the Hidden Divide Trail, a scenic trip of about a mile.
All in all a nice day in the marvelous Mt. San Jacinto wilderness.

Though her current Broadway role (in David Mamet's play, The Anarchist, closing December 16) is a non-singing one, Patti Lupone can still be seen showing off her pipes in a new concert now available for viewing online. Filmed during four shows at Provincetown's Art House this past summer, An Evening With Patti Lupone can be purchased for unlimited viewing for just $10 at www.SethTV.com. The original Evita, Patti Lupone has won two Tony Awards and is beloved by musical theater fans for her incredible voice. Performer/music director Seth Rudetsky, who accompanied Lupone on piano for the concert and is broadcasting it on his website, said that, "I've always been obsessed with Patti and this concert is a dream come true. She sang so many of her classic songs ... in the original keys! Her voice is flawless." "I did not expect to have as much fun as I did," said Patti LuPone about the concerts. "It made me feel like I was 20 again, or whatever age I was when I played those parts." An Evening with Patti Lupone, which also includes a candid interview with Lupone, has a running time of 104 minutes. You can view a three-minute clip of the concert at www.SethTV.com before deciding whether or not to purchase the full viewing.

There's a new partnership on the wrestling mats with the co-op between neighboring Hall and Putnam County high schools this season.
The new co-op not only brings wrestling back to Hall for the first time since 2005 when the program was dropped due to low numbers and budget concerns, but provides PC with a much-needed boost in numbers. PC started up its program just four years ago.
Head coach Harold Kriewalk said the nature of the sport has made for an easy team bonding and partnership.
"They developed instant respect for one another just going out for this sport. They realize they are stronger together," he said. "Some of the kids from Spring Valley are stepping up and really improving a lot. It's fantastic, because we actually have depth. In practice somebody said the other day, 'Hey, I haven't wrestled you yet." Something like that is really exciting."
The Hall-PC co-op boasts 25 grapplers, split nearly even between the two schools. Kriewald expect to be able to field 12 of the 14 weight classes this season, still needing to fill the 106, 113 and 120-pound weight classes.
PC senior Tyrell Foockle (160), having posted a 23-8 record his junior season is joined by his twin brother, Lucas, and Jacob Levy, who both wrestle at 152, and senior Dylon Croissant (132).
The rest of the lineup includes Mario Flores and Victor Lopez at 126, Dylon Croisant, Charlie Albert and Kurt Nabers at 132, Tyler Taber at 138, Joe Boggio and Joe Romanelli at 145, Jacob Levy, Luke McCook, Blake Lunn and Cole Elliott at 152, Lucas Foockle, Tyrell Foockle and Tony Scheri at 160, Mike Milasuski at 170, Austin Pletsch, Jeremy Lucas and James Hall at 182, Nathan Tonozzi and Evan Kiphart at 195, Aaron Kerr at 220 and Marco Gutierrez at heavyweight.
The F/S squad has already raised the bar by winning the 12-team Sterling Newman Invite, beating out Rock Falls and Oregon for the title.
"When you can achieve that in your first competition, the sky is the limit," Kriewald said. "You always have the expectations of 'do the best you can do," but I would definitely hope for setional qualifications and then see what happens," Kriewald said of his top wrestlers.
Kriewald, who wrestled for Dubuque University, said the exciting part of coaching wrestling is watching his kids develop and mature.
"Wrestling is a lifestyle, not just a sport. You have to change your diet and daily habits just to practice well, never mind compete," he said.
The Panthers will make their home debut Dec.12 vs. Dwight and Marquette. They will host the Putnam County Super Dual on Jan. 26, bringing Marquette, St. Bede, Peoria Notre Dame and Midland to the RM Germano Gymnasium mats.

LDAP clients _____________|___________________
| __________LoadBalancer1_________ |
| | | ldapserver1 ldapserver2 ldapserver3
My challange is I never did this kind of architecture before, So would like to know from LB prosepctive, How to configure it like
say i have to create a DNS FQDN e.g "ldapserver.example.com" and then use this as a floating IP/hostname for the 3 ldapservers
in the backend? or whats should be done? The network team will do the setup but i need to tell them what to do. My next question
would be i would like to configure LDAPS, so how to create the certificate i mean what to provide in common name or how to create a
certificate which can be shared across the servers, am using "openssl" ? I am using SLES 11(SP1) and the setup wiould be a Multi-Master
Please help.
Thanks for the suggestion, but i never did it before , if you can share a doc or something would be great.
I use the openssl to generate the certificate, so even i dont know how to configure subjectAltNames. Also if you can explain a bit how i should i proceed would be appreciated.
Example : ldap1.example.com ldap2.example.com
So in the load balancer what to configure and how to create the certificate.
Please help.

This weekend saw the first annual Empire Big Screen film festival take place at London's O2 complex, featuring three days of film premières, classic screenings, panel sessions and more. A number of famous names were present discussing their work and meeting fans along with a large array of shops and displays.
As I could only attend for the Friday, I tried to pack as much into my time as possible. Unfortunately I was hindered on occasion by sessions not running to time, often with no information given out by staff. The worst incidence of this that I came across was waiting for a film studio showcase to begin, I left half an hour after the posted start time when nothing had happened and no indication had been given as to what was going on or when the screening would begin. Most sessions were only delayed by five or ten minutes, however for those of us trying to arrange a schedule of sessions, these times could make a difference between arriving on time or missing the beginning; possibly even missing out on attending another popular session if it had filled up.
Once the sessions did begin however, each one was fascinating and fun. I attended the celebration of the work of Ray Harryhausen, the famous stop motion animator and was treated not only to a wonderful discussion led by friends and co-workers of the great man, but also the opportunity to get up close and personal with many of his most famous puppets, including one of the skeletons from the seminal Jason & The Argonauts. Present were film historian and author Tony Dalton, actress Caroline Munro who portrayed Princess Margiana in The Golden Voyage of Sinbad and British animators Barry JC Purves (King Kong, Mars Attacks!) and Mark Waring who is currently heading up the animation unit for Tim Burton's Frankenweenie. Between them they provided a great mix of stories and anecdotes regarding Harryhausen himself and his work, plus also a history of stop motion as an art and its place in the CG dominated animation marketplace. Purves had brought along a puppet from his new film Tchaikovsky and discussed the cost of creating a stop motion film, explaining that a lead character puppet could cost in the region of £35 – 40,000 ($57 – 66,000) and that a production could require up to twelve puppets of a single character. The panel ended with a discussion on the preservation of much loved puppets and the battle of wills often presented between preserving them as is, or restoring them to perfect condition plus the challenges faced either way as nature has already begun to deteriorate many older models.
I also attended a session entitled "What's The Greatest Movie Poster?" which included among its speakers the amazingly talented poster designers Olly Moss and The Dude (of The Dude Designs) – two men who design film posters that could not be more different from one another. The discussion initially focused on the favourite posters of the speakers, most of which came from many decades ago, in fact if I recall correctly the most recent poster shown was not even from this millennium. After going through the posters, the conversation switched to the gradual changes that have occurred in poster design over the years through to the level of creative freedom experienced by modern designers who are often hugely limited by the studios and film contracts (e.g. each lead star's head must be the exact same size). There was also some time given over to foreign film posters, as countries such as Italy and Poland are far more permissive in what is allowed to be shown on a public poster in areas like nudity and violence.
I spent the rest of my time flitting between other sessions, film screening and previews, managing to catch Sherlock co-creator Mark Gatiss discussing the filming of the show's next season and the impact of the recent London riots on their schedule, and subsequently the schedule for The Hobbit thanks to the overlap in both Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman's filming commitments. I also spent time in Studio City examining props from classic Bond cars to an array of weaponry from Men in Black 3 and chatting to stall holders in Hollywood Boulevard including Twitter acquaintance Alex Chenery of Dark Bunny Tees, the cult t-shirt site much loved by Simon Pegg.
I noticed many families attending the event, including plenty of children of all ages. Big Screen had made a point of catering to the whole family and for an event in central London, it is a rarity in that I would have felt completely at ease bringing my son (aged 23 months) or any of his cousins (aged from 2 - 9yrs) along with me. The entire festival was taking place within the secure confines of the O2, with all attendees having passed through a security checkpoint on arrival that included x-ray bag scans and metal detectors. Staff were everywhere and all wearing easily identifiable badges. The event schedule included many sessions that would interest kids from a Star Wars Padawan Training School to the opportunity to meet the animals of Harry Potter. Screen four spent the weekend running all the Pixar films to date, I personally attended what should have been Monsters Inc, but a disc failure meant that we were instead treated to the wonderful* Toy Story 2* in 3D. The location was also very family friendly with dozens of well known family restaurants on site, the only flaw for families with young children would be the size of the venue which required a lot of walking to get from session to session.
Sadly I had to leave as the first day drew to a close but the weekend had so much more in store for those able to stay. Countless movie screening took place including the UK premieres of Fright Night (hosted by David Tennant), *Troll Hunter *and The Lion King 3D. Panels included an interview with David Arnold, a masterclass with Peter Lord of Aardman Animation and many more. This was the first year for Empire Big Screen and as with any event of this scale, there were some teething troubles. The overall impression I got from everyone who attended, either in person of afterward online was overwhelmingly positive with the only regular complaints being that of scheduling, something that should hopefully be easy enough to rectify in time for next year and cost, with diamond ticket holders especially mentioning that they felt they had overpaid. I certainly plan to attend once again if the event goes ahead in 2012 and fully recommend that others do too.

Peter Rodger, who believes his son was the lone gunman in a Santa Barbara-area shooting rampage, has not been a major player in Hollywood, yet his work as an assistant director on the first installment of the wildly successful "Hunger Games" series in 2012 brought him a notable credit.
Rodger's job was as a second-unit director, one of five on the film responsible for production away from the principal set. Directed by Gary Ross, "Hunger Games" tells of a dystopian world where teens fight each other to the death in a televised spectacle. The film, which cost about $80 million to make and grossed nearly $700 million worldwide, was shot in locations throughout North Carolina, according to IMDB.com, an Internet movie database.
Rodger's other noteworthy credit was a 2009 documentary called "Oh My God." The film, which asked people from various backgrounds about what God was to them, cost nearly $1.3 million to make but grossed only about $38,000.
Rodger is currently listed as working as an assistant director on an animated short called "Amazon: Crossroads to Survival."

Thanks to all of you for your wonderful suggestions for my wonky strip piecing! I am continually amazed at the helpfulness and generosity of the blogging community! As soon as I apply your suggestions I'll post another picture.
OK - I know you've all been waiting.....
While we were waiting to see if Otis could be ordained as a minister over the Internet, we began to make some actual wedding plans. August seemed to be the best month for both of us. Not only would it be warm in the Eagle Cap, but the fishing would be fantastic! Hey – this wasn't just a wedding – it was also a chance to go fishing! We settled on August 21st.
Next was what to do for a ceremony. We could be fairly certain that if Otis performed the ceremony, it would have to be short and sweet. Otis is an outdoor kind of guy! He guides hunts for bear, cougar, elk and deer. He'll set up camp in the wilderness, cook you a terrific meal over the campfire after a hard day hunting or fishing, play a few tunes on the banjo and tell you stories that will make you laugh so hard your sides hurt. What he's not is a terribly sentimental fellow. We decided to have him perform traditional vows and include a short Native-American blessing we liked at the end of the ceremony.
Finally, what to wear? We knew we wanted to be married while standing in the Minam River. There are many really pretty spots on the river close to the lodge on the other side of the landing strip. Anything formal was out of the question. Mr. Squash wanted to wear his fishing gear then head upstream with our fishing rods after the ceremony. You know, I actually gave this some consideration --- for about 3 seconds! The going fishing part was great by me, but wearing waders and a fishing vest were not! We settled on shorts and a Hawaiian shirt for Mr. Squash and a sundress and sweater I had hanging in my closet that I had only worn once. Shoes – well Teva water sandals, of course!! They weren't very fashionable, but would keep us upright on the slippery rocks while we said our vows!
Not long after we finalized the details, we received a call from Teresa and Otis. Otis was an ordained minister thanks to a fantastic Internet site and $25.00! He also filled out the proper paperwork with the State of Oregon and donated another $25.00 to make it all legal. We were so happy that this was going to work!
Then we realized that we needed to firm up one last detail. I had already asked Teresa to be my matron of honor, but Mr. S. needed a best man. We again called Otis and Teresa and asked who else might be booked at the lodge that week. Turns out only one other couple were coming, and they were a couple we had met the previous year and liked a lot! Mr. S. called up Don, asked him to stand up for him, and Don said of course!
Stay tuned for more!

The organization really grew, though, in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.
"Everything was wiped out, there was seven feet of water, the place was a mess," said Salvatore Lopizzo, executive director of Yana Services. "We went from being a community resource to community relief. Soon after we started receiving a lot of donations of clothing, flashlights, batteries that would be given out to people."
Currently, the organization is completing its work helping families who are still displaced and who did not receive money from the government. They are also assisting single mothers struggling to make a decent salary while taking care of their children.
Lopizzo sees a bright future for Yana Services, this time helping the poor and hungry by providing food stamps and working with the New York City Snack Programs.
Before working with Yana Services, Lopizzo worked in the health industry for 15 to 20 years. Queens has always been Lopizzo's home, growing up in Ozone Park and currently living in Forest Hills, but his personal ties with Rockaway inspired him even more to reach out to the community during their time of crisis.
"I have many memories of going to the beach, eating ice cream, riding our bikes and spending time with family and friends there," he said. "It is a very personal place for me."

As video game arcades across the country blink out like lights on an artificial discount store Christmas tree, commenter Blessrok asks us to imagine the arcade of our dreams in today's short but sweet Speak Up on Kotaku.
I have an interesting question for everyone. Arcades, I love em, you love em, but they're all going out of business. If you were to start an arcade in this day and age what would it be like? How would you attract customers? What types of games would you stock it with? I miss arcades; they were a huge part of my life growing up. I'd love to see an arcade resurgence.
How about all of you?
About Speak Up on Kotaku: Our readers have a lot to say, and sometimes what they have to say has nothing to do with the stories we run. That's why we have a forum on Kotaku called Speak Up. That's the place to post anecdotes, photos, game tips and hints, and anything you want to share with Kotaku at large. Every weekday we'll pull one of the best Speak Up posts we can find and highlight it here.

Steve's post about the controversy over the Washington Redskins' name made me think about the nicknames of European soccer teams and their supporters. Followers of Dundee United, a decent team in a poor league, call themselves the Arabs. The name has no political content, although in recent times Scotland turned strongly against Israel.
Supporters of Ajax, a Dutch superpower and until about 15 years ago a European superpower too, are called the Jews. Few of them are Jewish, but the team's stadium was once located in a Jewish neighborhood.
Rival fans have been known to chant, "Stand up if you hate the Jews". There's a joke that the Ajax fans respond by starting to stand up until they realize they are the Jews.
That's unfair, though. As I understand it, Ajax fans embrace the nickname. But the club has discouraged this because it seemed to produce even more racist taunting from opposing fans, which made the team's few real Jewish supporters uncomfortable.
I should add that the name "Redskins" is more offensive than "Jews" or "Arabs." The Native American counterpart to those nicknames is "Indians."
Of course, activists object to that name as well. Indeed, both my college (Dartmouth) and my law school (Stanford) long ago abandoned that name for their sports teams.
Should Washington's football team follow suit? The name "Redskins" is unfortunate, and I wouldn't be outraged by a change.
But as a traditionalist and a longtime Redskins fan, I would rather not see a name-change in response to pressure that seems more like a power play by activists (see above) than the product of outrage well-founded enough to warrant disturbing the status quo.

Having a manure spill kit on-hand can make a lot of difference for neighbor relations. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By University News Release Email By: Erin Cortus, Assistant Professor & Environmental Quality Engineer, SDSU Extension Manure spills can occur during the storage, transportation and application of manure. Advanced planning can minimize the impacts of a manure-related emergency. Part of this preparation includes assembling a manure spill response kit to have ready and accessible on the farm when needed, especially while pumping and applying manure. The kit should include: A copy of the farm's emergency response plan, if it has one, including emergency numbers and a site map; Hay or straw bales that could be used to block a culvert or build a berm or diversion; T-posts to support plywood or bale stacks; 14-inch diameter PVC pipe in both 3-foot and 2-foot sections to be used to cover tile inlets; Several 6-mil plastic sheets of approximately 12-foot x 25-foot lengths that could be applied to tile inlets or other sensitive areas with duct tape; At least one sheet of 4-foot x 4-foot plywood that could be used to block culverts. Round the plywood on one end to fit the curve of the ditch; Pliers, vice grips, fencing pliers, channel lock pliers, hammers, utility knife, hand saw, hatchet, post driver; 1 roll duct tape; Baling wire; and Sand shovels. At the minimum, a mini-kit can be kept in the truck or tractor. The mini-kit should contain a sand shovel, duct tape, utility knife and 6-mil plastic sheets. The steps for responding to a manure spill are outlined in the article Dealing with a Manure Spill. Back to news

Best Sledding Hills in West Michigan
Ran out of video games to play? Movies to watch? Sick of the treadmill?
Why don't you get outside and do some outdoor activity?
I know the snow is dreadful and it is of course, cold. But you have to look past that and enjoy the snow for what it is. I don't care if you think you are too old for this, but sledding is still just as awesome as it was when you were a kid.
Richmond Park800 block of Garfield Ave. NW, Grand Rapids
This sledding hill to me is a classic. My friends and I always go to this hill every year, and apparently so does everyone else in the Grand Rapids area. Richmond Park has a ton to offer in all seasons, and this is one of them. Just be careful to not go to far into Richmond Pond. You never know if there is going to be thin ice!
Union High School1800 Treemont Blvd. NW, Grand Rapids
Why have one hill when you can have two? Or three? However you look at it. The hill that faces the high school is very steep and you can really pick up some speed! However, crawling back up the hill? Not as easy. Remember, the steeper the hill, the harder the climb. Then there is the other hill that goes into the football field. This is what I call a double hill! It kind of does a wav' type of thing, that sends you down quickly. Then, there is a calm before the storm of one more speedy hill! The nice thing about this hill is that is is huge, so you really don't have to worry about people walking up the middle. Also, the plateau in the middle gives a nice rest before you climb to the top!
Pando Winter Sports Park8096 Belding Road, Rockford
Every year, my friends and I always take a trip out to Pando Winter Sports Park in Rockford, not too far from Grand Rapids. You can't use a store bought sled on the hill, but they do supply you with an inflated tube so you can go down the hill. The best part though? Each tube it equipped strap that you connect to a cord, that PULLS YOU UP THE HILL!!! This is by far my favorite part about Pando! You can go down the hill a billion times and barely become tired! It's great for a day out with friends and family. Beware, though; it does cost money!
Johnson Park2600 Wilson Ave. SW, Walker
I have never been to this park for sledding, but it seems like a good place to go! While a nice line of forestry outlines the main hill, there are plenty of smaller hills around this park to take advantage of! If you have small children or a scaredy cat of a boyfriend, this is a good place to start.

How do Indians' prospects fit Cleveland's needs?
This series is designed to evaluate the role prospects play in each Major League organization, looking at the short- and long-term needs of each club and illustrating how prospects fit in both scenarios.
Here's my look at the Indians:
This series is designed to evaluate the role prospects play in each Major League organization, looking at the short- and long-term needs of each club and illustrating how prospects fit in both scenarios.
Here's my look at the Indians:
Short-term needs
The Indians are loaded with veteran players. However, they have a bounty of riches when it comes to middle infielders in development.
With Asdrubal Cabrera in his free-agent year, top shortstop prospect Francisco Lindor may see playing time this season. Only 20 years old, Lindor came to the Tribe from high school as the team's first-round selection in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft. The 5-foot-11, 175-pound switch-hitter has the chance to gain more strength, height and weight.
Lindor has the upside of delivering both offense and defense. He has shown that he is an improving hitter, raising his average from .257 in 2012 to .303 in '13, playing at Advanced A Carolina (.306) and Double-A Akron (.289). Lindor is a smooth, sure-handed shortstop with excellent range and a fine arm who has excellent baseball instincts.
Lindor is a tough out at the plate. He struck out only 46 times in 464 plate appearances last year. Lindor also has outstanding speed to steal bases, and enough power to hit the gaps or knock a ball over the wall. He is a true impact player in the making.
Trevor Bauer has pitched 33 1/3 Major League innings for Arizona and Cleveland combined. He has dedicated himself to changing his delivery. So far, the reports from the Indians are mixed. Bauer may see time in the rotation this season. Wild at times, he has to gain consistent command and control to prove that he can retire Major League hitters.
A former Tommy John surgery patient, C.C. Lee is an intriguing possibility for a bullpen role. Signed by Cleveland from Taiwan, the 5-foot-11, 190-pound, 27-year-old right-hander has a fastball that can touch 95 mph. He has a low-three-quarters arm slot that adds deception to his offerings. Lee's secondary pitches still need refinement, and he has innings to make up for time missed.
|Yan Gomes
|Nick Swisher
|Jason Kipnis
|Lonnie Chisenhall
|Francisco Lindor
|Michael Brantley
|Michael Bourn
|Tyler Naquin
|Carlos Santana
|Justin Masterson
|Danny Salazar
|Corey Kluber
|Zach McAllister
|Josh Tomlin
|John Axford
Long-term needs
Left-handed-hitting Tyler Naquin is a polished center fielder with speed and an excellent arm. When I saw him in the Arizona Fall League, he showed ability to hit fairly good pitching. Naquin, 22, may not hit for power, but his batting average, speed and defense make for a solid trio of skills. He was a first-round pick in the 2012 Draft.
Outfielder Clint Frazier, 19, has outstanding strength in his forearms and hands. He has incredibly fast bat speed, but he got fooled on breaking balls when I saw him in the Arizona League. Frazier's power should lead to gap doubles and home runs as he learns the nuances of hitting breaking balls.
The right-handed, 6-foot-1, 190-pound hitter scuffled some in center field when I saw him, but Frazier has the speed and the instincts to refine his mechanics and succeed in the outfield. He was the Indians' first-round selection in the 2013 Draft.
Middle infielder Ronny Rodriguez is a 6-foot, 170-pound right-handed hitter. At Double-A Akron last season, he hit .265 with 25 doubles and six triples to go along with five home runs and 12 stolen bases. Rodriguez hit 19 homers the year before at Class A Advanced Carolina. His speed and quickness are evident on both sides of the ball.
Infielder Dorssys Paulino set the Arizona League on fire in his 2012 season, hitting .355 with six homers and six triples. Since then, his bat hasn't been as loud. Paulino hit .246 last season at Class A Lake County. He sprays the ball around using a quick, short stroke. Paulino's speed is an asset.
Big right-hander Cody Anderson (6-foot-4, 220 pounds) should be on the starting pitching radar. He has an ERA of only 2.86 in three seasons. Anderson's stellar 2.34 ERA in the Carolina League led to a promotion to Double-A Akron to finish his 2013 season. He is consistent in his approach, repeating his delivery and using both sides of the plate to increase his strikeout totals.
Catcher Francisco Mejia played in the Arizona Rookie League at age 18. He hit .305 and showed a promising bat with nine doubles, a triple and four home runs in only 113 plate appearances. From the Dominican Republic, Mejia is 5-foot-10, 175 pounds.
Outfielder Carlos Moncrief may earn more attention after hitting .284 with 17 home runs, 26 doubles and seven triples at Double-A Akron last season. With new life in his bat, the 6-foot, 220-pound left-handed hitter is improving his contact rate as well.
