Unified CCE Network Configuration in a Virtualized Environment
For network configuration requirements and reference designs for Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise deployed on VMware vSphere, see Unified CCE Network Configuration in a Virtualized Environment.
Follow these guidelines for enabling Quality of Service (QoS) in Unified CCE:
- Enable QoS for all Unified CCE Private network traffic.
- For Visible (Public) network traffic, you can use QoS in the 2000 Agent and 4000 Agent Reference Designs.
- For Visible (Public) network traffic in a 12,000 Agent Reference Design, QoS can delay the detection of server failures.
- For details, refer to the appropriate Quality of Service (QoS) section in the Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Design Guide.
Unified CCE applications require highly available network connections. Please see Unified CCE Network Configuration in a Virtualized Environment for requirements and further guidance.
Microsoft Windows Server software based IPSec is not supported.
For details on using the Nexus 1000v with Unified CCE, see Nexus 1000v Support in Unified CCE.

|1This NIC is connected to the IXC switching domain through its Sigtran or SS7 Gateways (NGW).
Hybrid Unified CCE Deployment Options
Unified CCE 10.0(x) and later supports only virtualized deployment on VMware vSphere ESXi.
Unified CCE releases prior to 10.0(x) support Hybrid deployment where some components could be deployed bare metal (OS on Server) on MCS servers alongside virtualized Unified CCE applications. Hybrid deployment does not allow A/B application processes to be disparate hardware server type or virtualized/bare metal deployed.
The following Unified CCE applications do not support hybrid A/B:
- Router
- Logger
- Rogger
- Peripheral Gateway (all types)
Unified CCE Hardware Requirements for Duplex Synchronized Applications
Unified CCE allows for application VMs to be deployed on different supported servers, whether Cisco UCS or 3rd Party Specs-based within the same or multiple data center sites, excepting duplex and synchronized operation applications, which have a more restrictive requirement.
The following Unified CCE applications are hardware-constrained for side A and B pairings:
- Router
- Logger
- Rogger
- Peripheral Gateway (PG, all types)
These require that the A and B application instances be installed to separate host servers and have exact matching:
- Processor make, model and speed
- Memory type and speed
- Mainboard chipset controller
Remote Expert Mobile Co-residency Support
Remote Expert Mobile can co-reside with other applications (VMs occupying same host) subject to the following conditions:
- No oversubscription of CPU: 1:1 allocation of vCPU to physical cores must be used
- No oversubscription of RAM: 1:1 allocation of vRAM to physical memory
- Sharing disk storage
Note: Remote Expert Mobile must be installed on its own pair of Side A and Side B servers. It must not be installed co-resident on Packaged CCE Side A and Side B servers.
Installing VMware Tools
You must install the VMware Tools on each of the VMs, and you must use all of the VMware Tools default settings. Please refer to VMware documentation for instructions on installing or upgrading VMware Tools on the VM with the Windows operating system.
Timekeeping Best Practices for Windows
Follow the instructions provided in the VMware Knowledge Base article VMware KB: Timekeeping best practices for Windows.
- ESXi hosts and domain controllers must synchronize the time from the same NTP source.
- When Unified CCE virtual machines join the domain, they synchronize the time with the domain controller automatically using w32time.
- Be sure that Time synchronization between the virtual machine and the host operating system in the VMware Tools tool box GUI of the Windows Server guest operating system remains unchecked; this check box is checked by default.
For more details about time synchronization, see the relevant section in the Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Design Guide.
System Performance Monitoring Using ESXi Counters
- Make sure that you follow VMware's ESXi requirements and the SAN vendor's instructions for optimal system performance.
- VMware provides a set of system monitoring tools for the ESXi platform and the VMs. These tools are accessible through the VMware Infrastructure Client or through VirtualCenter.
- You can use Windows Performance Monitor to monitor the performance of the VMs. Be aware that the CPU counters may not reflect the physical CPU usage since the Windows Operating System has no direct access to the physical CPU.
- You can use Unified CCE Serviceability Tools and Unified CCE reports to monitor the operation and performance of the Unified CCE system.
- The ESXi Server and the virtual machines must operate within the limit of the following ESXi performance counters.
For more information, please see Troubleshooting and Performance Monitoring Virtualized Environments vCenter Settings.
System Performance Monitoring Using Windows Perfmon Counters
You must comply with the requirements described in the System Performance Monitoring section of the Unified Contact Center Enterprise Design Guide and in the Performance Counters section in the Serviceability Best Practices Guide for Unified ICM/Contact Center Enterprise.
Information for Partners About Unified CCE on UCS Deployment Certification and Ordering
It is important that partners who are planning to sell UCS products on Unified Contact Center Enterprise read the following Doc Wiki page: UCCE on UCS Deployment Certification Requirements and Ordering Information.
This page contains essential information for partners about the following:
- Partner Certification Requirements
- UCS Server Ordering Information
- Important Notes on Cisco UCS Service and Support

I originally thought this one was expensive thr 1st time I came to Sephora to check it. Then sometime after that when I came back I saw the smallest bottle. For $20! I asked them if it was on sale, they said no??? Whatever doesnt matter the price is right so I grabbed 2 lol.
For someone living in Canada with the very aggressive winter this one is a must! Almost a medication to me. During summer though I'm not sure yet since it gets too oily as a moisturizer. So I just use it for my newly bleached hair. I LOVE how multifunctional this product is.
I LOVE this argan oil - I just can't come to terms with paying for a bottle. It works wonders, but I have also found other less expensive oils that have the same effect on my hair and skin.
This stuff is AMAZING, but so DAMN expensive when I can buy the same product cheaper from other brands.
Her Argan oil is so pricey, that I will not buy it. I got a sample and it's great, but there are other argan oils out there that I do buy.
This is my favorite face oil ever! I've tried so many others and none have done its job as well as this one. Not only have I seen an improvement in my skin-tone and texture, this oil has been the only one that has not caused me to break out! As well, a little goes a long way. I am anticipating the medium sized bottle to last me for at least half a year.
- Light scent
- Absorbs quickly
- Non-greasy - does not make my skin feel greasy hours after application
- Evident smoothing and evening of skin tone and texture after a few uses!
- Clean, easy-to-use dropper to dispense oil
- A bit on the pricier side ($60 CAD for 50 mL)
How I use this product:
I mix a drop or two in with my Clinique Dramatically Different Lotion and apply after cleansing only at NIGHT. I do this for two days and take a break for one day and continue this pattern.
For someone with sensitive, acne-prone skin, this product has worked amazingly. I would highly recommend it!
I received this when I purchased the Clarisonic Aria. I have a couple face oils but particularly like this lighter one. Its not as oily, provides a perfect amount of moisturization (especially in the winter) and leaves a minimal amount of oil on the face. Absorbs well.
I love Josie Maran's Argan Oil Light! It's definitely a multi-purpose product. It's amazing for my thin hard to give it a healthy boost for the ends. It works perfectly on my oily/combo skin without making my face oily! I've used this on the rest of my body and my cuticles. I cannot find anything negative about it. It's worth every penny. Granted, it is a bit pricey. I live in Canada, and to get it at Sephora, I believe it's $60 tax per bottle. But that bottle will last you! The first time I ever tried the product was through a gift that my best friend had gotten me. That deluxe sample of the oil lasted me a good 2 months.
Needless to say, a little does go a long way, so regardless of the price, it is something that will last me a while before it runs out! In fact, I am near the first bottle I bought probably 6 months ago and I've used it daily!

I see that theres an easy way to get a generic report on all of the tickets, but it does not contain any additional comments, or list the last known work done.
Is there a way to print off every ticket apart from doing it manually?
3 Replies
Apr 1, 2008 at 1:14 UTC
You can edit the reports and create your own. To edit click the report then click on the Edit button. For a new report click on New Report on the toolbar beneath the tabs. It's pretty self-explanatory from there.
Apr 1, 2008 at 2:14 UTC
Yes, but is there an option to post the tickets history in the way of correspondence .
What I'm asking for is a way to print off details on each individual ticket. By details I mean any correspondence between the ticket creator, and the owner of the ticket, or owner of the ticket, and administrators.
For an example, if you review a ticket, you have the option to print out the entire ticket, and all items within the ticket. But you are only able to do this for 1 ticket at a time.
Is there a way to print multiple tickets in this fashion, or are you stuck doing this manually for each open ticket?
Apr 1, 2008 at 6:01 UTC
Short answer is no. However, if you wanted you can get the reports directly from the database.

Earlier this month, Koizumi dissolved the lower house of Parliament and called elections after rebels in his own party helped the upper house reject legislation to privatize the postal service, the centerpiece of the premier's reformist program.
Koizumi, who's been prime minister since April 2001, has indicated his intention to step down at the end of his term but Monday's comment was the first of such kind since he called the elections, set for Sept. 11.
"I will fulfill my duties as prime minister and president of the LDP until September 2006, but I am not thinking of serving after that," he told a group of reporters.
The approval rating for Koizumi's Cabinet topped 50% in a series of newspaper polls taken after he called the elections.
Koizumi, in his second term, has been one of Japan's longest-serving prime ministers.
The LDP has been in a ruling bloc with the smaller New Komeito Party.

Inaugural Children's Aid Society Gala Raises $1.2 Million to Protect NYC's Neediest Children
The Children's Aid Society (CAS) raised $1.2 million to aid New York City's most vulnerable children at their Inaugural Keeping the Promise Gala. CAS honored BNY Mellon, Robert Wolf, Chairman of UBS Americas and President of UBS Investment Bank, and volunteer Ann Sather for their support of programs benefiting needy kids. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author, Ron Suskind served as Master of Ceremonies for the event at the Waldorf-Astoria.
The Keeping the Promise gala celebrated CAS's 158-year commitment to improving the lives of New York's neediest children through medical, educational and recreational programming, while showcasing the work of corporate and community leaders who have served as role models by upholding the CAS promise through their meaningful contributions and volunteer work.
"Raising over $1 million in the current economic climate is an incredible success and a testament to awareness of the worsening situation," said CAS President and CEO Richard Buery. "We are thrilled to honor BNY Mellon, Robert Wolf, Ann Sather and all of our attendees who realize that New York City kids in need are at record numbers and only through holistic and sustained support will we ensure they are not part of a lifetime of poverty."
"Children's Aid Society focuses on the most helpless of all children in the City," said Chairman of UBS Americas and President of UBS Investment Bank, Robert Wolf. "Their commitment to keeping the promise to forgotten children ensures that we will not lose an entire generation of future Americans."
Notable guests also attending included Tony Award Winner Patti LuPone; "Law and Order SVU" star, Tamara Tunie; Director, Screenwriter and Actress, Rebecca Miller; Author Harlan Corben.
Domestic Violence Part 2: The Effect of Domestic Violence on Children
This is the second in a series of blogs on domestic violence and healthy relationships which we originally posted last year in honor of October's Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Check back each week in October for upcoming blogs on Why People Abuse and Why Victims Stay.
It is estimated that at least 10 – 20% of American children are exposed to domestic violence in their homes. The effects on children vary widely. Some children are very resilient and continue to function in relatively healthy ways. But many children suffer from long-term effects.
Children who see, hear or are aware of violence at home are much more likely to get hurt themselves – either by getting hit directly or being 'caught in the crossfire' and hurt accidentally. Even when they are not hurt physically, they are usually hurt emotionally. They are much more likely to get in trouble for fighting with peers, do poorly in school, be diagnosed with learning disorders, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, or other mental health problems like depression or anxiety. As adolescents, they are at greater risk of substance abuse, dating violence, suicide, and a whole host of other social and emotional problems.
The cycle of violence in a family all too often repeats itself from generation to generation. And it impacts not only the family, but all of society, not only because of the cost in the health care and criminal justice arenas, but because those same child witnesses are more likely to grow up to commit not only intimate partner abuse, but many other forms of violence in the community.
If a child you know is being exposed to domestic violence, call one of the numbers below to find out how you can help:
The Children's Aid Society – Family Wellness Program 212-503-6842
NYC Domestic Violence Hotline 1-800-621-HOPE (4673)
National Domestic Violence Hotline 1-800-699-SAFE (TDD 800-787-3224)
National Teen Dating Violence Hotline 1-866-331-9474 (TTY 866-331-8453)
Mutual Support: the Community Schools Strategy
Students learn best when their physical, mental, emotional, and other needs are met, but schools rarely have the time and resources available to meet those needs. If schools can find a way to engage families and communities, students are more likely to succeed. But how? One answer is the community schools strategy.
A community school has a set of partnerships in place that connect the school, the students' families, and the community. Community schools are more than just another model or program; they bring together community partners, parents, teachers, and administrators to assess students' needs and identify the resources that are available to meet them.

Richard Buery on The Huffington Post: Revamping Sex Education: A New Approach to the Birds and the Bees
"Parents and policymakers are more likely to embrace school-based family life and sexuality education programs that are age and stage appropriate, while not obsessing over public health outcomes to the exclusion of all other dimensions of a young person's development."
Co-written by Dr. Michael A. Carrera, Director of The Children's Aid Society-Carrera Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Program
New York City School Chancellor Dennis Walcott and Mayor Michael Bloomberg should be commended for their push to improve family life and sex education for public school students in grades 6-12. Current data indicate African-American and Latino teens in New York City have extraordinarily high rates of pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections and sexual risk-taking. Public education has an obligation to address this frightening trend. However, the Department of Education's narrow approach, using genital-sexual issues as the driving theme, must be significantly broadened in scope to effectively address this daunting public health and personal development issue. The City should consider a more comprehensive initiative that takes into account all aspects of a young person's growth and development, not solely strategies associated with understanding and reducing sexual risk-taking.
Richard Buery in The NonProfit Times: On Board for Term Limits
Richard Buery admits he has a hard time getting rid of people. But that's a good thing. "It's a testament to how great our organization is and how great our work is," said the president and CEO of Children's Aid Society (CAS) in New York City.
Until this year, there were no term limits for board trustees of the 150-year-old charity. On average, board members served for about 15 years, with two who had served 39 and 34 years, respectively.
One of the strengths of Children's Aid Society, said Buery, is that there are board members who know so much about the organization's work.
"They're very dedicated. We have trustees who have been on the board for a long time. Now the experience is great; it's good to have that experience. But we also know that to have a real governing body that can have critical conversations about the future, you can't have 50 people in the room." He cited research that if there are more than seven people, a conversation will start to lose value.

Volunteers Teach Children That We Are Stronger Together
In honor of the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, volunteers from American Eagle Outfitters joined fifty elementary school kids at The Children's Aid Society's Frederick Douglass Center to create a commemorative banner. The beautiful banner features student-made self-portraits as well as decorated cut-outs of connected hands and t-shirts. Intended to inspire unity and celebrate the strength shown by Americans following the tragic attacks, the banner proudly hangs in the Frederick Douglass gym.
This special event was part of the Frederick Douglass after-school program. Designed for children ages 5 - 11, the after-school offerings included everything from homework help and tutoring to arts, sports and more.
A special thank you to all of the volunteers from American Eagle Outfitters. Interested in becoming a volunteer? Please visit our volunteer program homepage for more information.
Children's Aid Announces Partnership with Jumpstart to Address Early Childhood Achievement Gap
Written by: Margaret Caspe, Ph. D., Director of Early Childhood Programs, CAS
This fall The Children's Aid Society Early Childhood Department is embarking on a new partnership with Jumpstart to address the early childhood achievement gap. Jumpstart is an Americorps program in which college students and community volunteers deliver a supplementary literacy program to preschool children. Jumpstart Corps members serve in classrooms twice a week for an entire school year; they read core storybooks and participate in targeted and intentional activities based on these stories that help develop key language and literacy skills.
To kick off the partnership, on September 23rd Margaret Caspe, the Director of Children's Aid Society Early Childhood Programs spoke at Jumpstart's Leadership Institute. The panel was an opportunity for 75 of Jumpstart's team leaders and volunteer coordinators to gain knowledge about the early childhood field, the different opportunities for growth in the sector and to be inspired by current early childhood leaders in NYC. In addition to Margaret the panel included Sophia Pappas, Executive Director, Early Childhood NYC Department of Education, Maria Benejan, Associate Commissioner, Child Care and Head Start, NYC Agency for Children's Services and Brian Wallace, Managing Director of Teacher Leadership Development, Teach for America.
One of Jumpstart's flagship initiatives is Read for the Record which this year is being held on October 6th. On this day, more than 2 million people will read Llama Llama Red Pajama by Anna Dewdney, calling for an end to the early education achievement gap. To read more about the initiative and to pledge to read you can visit their website.

The Children's Aid Society (CAS) is proud to share that Francisco Núñez, past director of music for CAS and founder of the Young People's Chorus of New York City (YPC) was named one of 22 MacArthur Fellows in 2011. As a recipient, Núñez's will receive a $500,000 fellowship over the course of five years from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation to continue his work with his youth chorus program that targets inner-city students. The unique feature of this fellowship is that it does not have reporting requirements or other stipulations, providing Núñez with the freedom to carry out his good work at his own pace—no strings attached.
He has served as founder and artistic director of YPC since its inception in 1988 as part of CAS. Today, with over one thousand young people in five after-school choruses and thirteen choruses in its Satellite School Program in inner-city public schools, Núñez's YPC exposes young singers to an unmatched variety of music and music makers. Núñez held the position of director of music at CAS for nine years.

Gotham Schools: Venerable Social Services Group Wades into School Management
As a Bronx elementary school principal, Drema Brown routinely encountered students who were struggling to complete schoolwork without adequate health care, a stable address, or even electricity.
Challenges like those held Brown back from boosting academic achievement. Even worse, she said, she couldn't solve the problems wrought by poverty, either.
"I might take it for granted that I can just take my daughter to an eye doctor's appointment and I have insurance that is going to get her that $300, $400 pair of glasses. But sometimes in a school something as simple as that could languish for an entire school year," said Brown, who headed P.S. 230 in the South Bronx's District 9 from 2003 to 2007.
Now a top official at the Children's Aid Society, the 158-year-old social services provider, Brown is leading an experiment in integrating health and social services into a school setting. Children's Aid is set to open its charter school in the Morrisania section of the Bronx next fall. The Board of Regents formally approved the school's charter earlier today.
The Early Days of The Children's Aid Society
In the 1850's an estimated 30,000 children, ranging in age from 6 to 18, lived homeless and neglected in the streets of New York City. In these same streets The Children's Aid Society (CAS) was founded by Charles Loring Brace, who believed that there was a way to improve the futures of homeless children. The Orphan Trains, CAS's first program for helping children move out of poverty, placed them in homes with stable and morally upright farm families in states out west. Brace believed that this would give these children the chance of escaping a lifetime of suffering.
The Orphan Train Movement and the success of other Children's Aid initiatives led to a host of child welfare reforms, including child labor laws, adoption and the establishment of foster care services, public education, the provision of health care and nutrition and vocational training.

The awards now in their seventh year will take place in the Painted Hall on Wednesday 9 September. With over 900 volunteers across London's heritage sector, the awards have been securing much deserved recognition for their wide ranging contributions to the operations and development of their host organisations. Rhiannon Green, Chair of the network, said: "These awards are an invaluable way to showcase and celebrate the breadth of amazing contributions that volunteers make daily to our museums and galleries. Over the last six years many inspirational examples of volunteer involvement have been rightfully recognised and we have no doubt that 2015 will prove to be another exciting and eye-opening year. We are delighted to be able to host this year's awards in such prestigious and beautiful surroundings as the Painted Hall, especially as the Old Royal Naval College is about to embark on the next phase of its ambitious refurbishment project". Our Volunteer Co-ordinator at the ORNC, Anne Burton, manages 100 volunteers, the majority of whom work as visitor experience volunteers but there are volunteers helping with admin in many departments including facilities, development, marketing and the conservation project. They also have a dedicated group of volunteers who support the learning team. In 2016 a major 2 year conservation project will begin on the Painted Hall to restore the ceiling of the lower hall and the vestibule. On hosting this year's awards, Anne said: "The Painted Hall is still used on occasions for the purpose for which it was built, as a dining hall, and we are proud and delighted to have been asked to host these prestigious awards". We look forward to the awards taking place in September.Download the press release. Find out more Plan your visit History of the Painted Hall Painted Hall Conservation Download a map of the ORNC >

This scenario won't collapse the market, but makes it vulnerable. Perhaps the first-quarter rally has trouble gaining traction in the second. A modest downslide starts, as first-quarter earnings are reported. The bulls declare it a mere retracement and buying opportunity. But it turns out not to be; by the second quarter, the cyclical high for 2006 already has been put in. How does this possibly get us to 6800? The Dow is calculated via a divisor, currently
0.12493117 . A point of each Dow stock's movement is equal to a little over 8 points on the index. It's not too hard to imagine that as earnings slow, stocks begin to soften. A loss of 5 points on each component adds up to a Dow drop of 1,200 points (40 points times 30 stocks = 1200) -- that brings us to Dow 9800. And that's only 5 points; a 10-point-per-Dow-stock drop would drive the average to 8600. All it will take will be a modest earnings slowdown, and the Dow slips below 10,000. That happens, and apprehension levels rise in earnest. Dip-buyers who bought stocks 1,000 points higher are upside-down. Now imagine what happens if any of the highfliers -- say Google ( GOOG) or Apple ( AAPL) has a miss, or simply lowers guidance to reflect the slowing consumer. Or perhaps Home Depot ( HD) and Lowe's ( LOW) feel the pinch of slowing housing and refinancing activity. Given the heavily promotional holiday-price cuts, I expect that many retailers -- Wal-Mart ( WMT), Target ( TGT) on the low end, Tiffany ( TIF) and Nordstrom ( JWN) on the high end -- will see the margin pressure impact earnings. The spillover effect will be substantial. And if the same happens in any one of the pricier Dow components -- Boeing ( BA), United Technologies ( UTX) and 3M ( MMM) are all vulnerable -- we can easily see a day when the Dow is down 300 points.

Kolarov began his football career in his native Serbia, playing for several clubs in his homeland in his first few seasons. Originally at Red Star Belgrade, Kolarov moved to FC ÄŒukariÄŠki in 2004 aged 18. The 2004-2005 season saw the left-back get exposure in the first team for the first time, however CukariCki got relegated and moved into the second tier in Serbia. Halfway through the next season, Kolarov controversially moved to OFK Belgrade on a free transfer â€Ã¢â'¬Å" where he would score his first senior goal.
Kolarov spent one full season at OFK before a €925,000 move to Lazio in 2007, wearing the number 11. He spent three seasons at the Stadio Olimpico, impressing with his attacking instincts from defence, and becoming renowned for spectacular long range goals. He played 90 times for Lazio, scoring 7 goals, and leaving with a heightened reputation.
Manchester City came calling for Kolarov in 2010, signing him for £16 million and assigning him the number 13 shirt. His maiden season at City saw him as the usual starting left-back for the club in the league and cup, scoring three goals as City won the FA Cup for the first time since 1969.
Kola's international career has seen him play for Serbia U21s, and he went on to make his debut for the national side in 2008, a 2-1 friendly loss against Russia.

The three ounce jacket packs right into it's very own chest pocket, allowing you to wear it or stow it as you please. When the outdoors looks questionable, throw this on or in your pack for light protection against wind and rain. Elastic at the cuffs and hood keep drafts out and the reflective trim adds visibility during low-light runs.

For Johan Santana, today marks his return to major league action after a long stint on the disabled list.
The New York Mets ace made his first start against major league batters since September 2, 2010.
GALLERY: Spring Training
Follow the Daily Pitch as we keep tabs on some of today's top storylines:
Johan Santana missed the entire 2011 season after recovering from shoulder surgery in September 2010. The day is finally here. The two-time Cy Young Award winner pitched two scoreless innings, allowed one hit and one walk on 29 pitches.
"Finally I had an opportunity to go out there and finally get the first one out of the way," Santana said. "… I was excited about today. Even as I was preparing myself prior to the game, I was anxious to go out there and do it."
Said Mets manager Terry Collins: "God Almighty, I don't know if we can have a bigger step forward today than that."
According to Newsday reporter David Lennon, Santana had one pitch clocked at 90 mph.
Bad news for the Washington Nationals is that Michael Morse is scratched from the today's lineup against the Atlanta Braves. Good news for the fans is that teen prospect Bryce Harper replaces Morse in the lineup.
A team spokesman said Morse has a right lat strain and is listed as day-to-day.
Morse is not worried the injury will hold him back. "No, I'm not, and I get worried," he said. "It's early and there's plenty of time to get it going. I can still hit, I can still run, I just can't throw. I'll be fine hitting."
The outfielder had a breakout season in 2011, batting .303 with 31 home runs and 95 RBI.
Tough start for National League MVP Ryan Braun in the Grapefruit League. In his first at-bat today against the Oakland Athletics, he struck out, giving him a hat trick to start the season.
In his spring debut, he struck out in twice to a chorus of hecklers. Three at-bats, three strikeouts.
Buster Posey was seen testing his left ankle by running the bases on a back field with a San Francisco Giants trainer at their Scottsdale, Ariz. home. But, don't expect the All-Star catcher in today's game, at least not until possibly the weekend.
After the workout, Posey said he was happy about the results and estimated his running at 60 to 70 percent. He also admitted he is "itching to get in a game. At the same time, we've played four. Today's the fifth. So there's still plenty of time."
Posey is recovering from a season-ending injury when he collided with a Florida Marlins player on May 5 that left him with a broken left ankle.

Ohlman named Player of the Week
By Mike Mueller / Frederick Keys | June 24, 2013 8:28 AM ET
Frederick Keys catcher Michael Ohlman has been named Carolina League Player of the Week for the week of June 17-23. Ohlman recorded five hits and drove in four runs over the weekend in Frederick's first series after the all-star break.
Ohlman went 5-for-10 in the three-game set against Myrtle Beach, recording a pair of triples Friday, homering on Saturday and going 2-for-3 with an RBI on Sunday. He scored five runs, walked twice and had on-base percentage of .615 and an OPS of 1.200 in the series.
Ohlman raised his average to .300 over the weekend and has been Frederick's most productive hitter since coming off the disabled list on May 23. Since returning to the lineup, Ohlman's batting .340 with five home runs, four triples, five doubles and 12 RBIs. Ohlman missed six weeks after suffering a shoulder injury in mid-April.
For the season, Ohlman is batting .300 with 25 runs, eight doubles, four triples, five homers, 18 RBIs, 26 walks, an on-base percentage of .418 and a slugging percentage of .538. If he had enough at-bats to qualify, he would rank third in the league in on-base percentage and slugging percentage.
Ohlman, a 2009 draft pick of the Baltimore Orioles, is in his first season at the Advanced-A level and in his fifth season of professional baseball. An 11th round pick of the O's, the 6-5, 215-pound right-handed hitting catcher batted .304 in 51 games with Class-A Delmarva last season. Ohlman, 22, was drafted out of Lakewood Ranch High School in Florida. Entering the 2013 season, MLB.com rated him No. 19 among Orioles prospects.

Learn About Black Holes
Narrator (April Hobart, CXC): If a star has three times or more the mass of the sun and collapses, it can form a black hole.
These bizarre objects are found across the universe within double-star systems and at the centers of galaxies where giant black holes grow.
X-ray telescopes like Chandra can see superheated matter that is swirling toward the event horizon of a black hole.
Chandra has revealed how black holes impact their environments, how they behave, and their role in helping shape the evolution of the cosmos.

If you thought last month's shock move by the Bank of Japan to push official rates below zero was the latest shot in the global currency wars, then central bankers must be firing blanks.
On Thursday the yen strengthened further against the US dollar, trading 112.7 yen to the greenback, its lowest reading since November 2014. Japan's currency is now 5 per cent stronger than it was immediately before the BoJ's shock announcement in late January that it was moving official rates below zero.
The moves have confounded analysts and had many questioning whether central bankers have lost their power to influence the market – not a good sign when they have been the only thing propping up many financial assets for some time.
As the currency continues to rise, The BoJ's decision to cut interest rates into negative territory "has backfired in spectacular fashion", analysts at research house Gavekal wrote in a note ominously titled "The Death of Policy Credibility".
And it's not just Japan.
In December European Central Bank president Mario Draghi cut rates further to –0.3 per cent, and in the same month Fed chair Yellen raised rates. Both should have smashed the euro; instead the currency is up 7 per cent since the beginning of that month, and 4 per cent this year.
It's a similar story for the currencies of Switzerland and Sweden, which have negative official rates, as well as Denmark, which, like the other two, has negative bond yields out to at least five years (to 10 years for the Swiss).
What gives?
The reason central bankers are having such a tough time depressing their currencies is that spooked traders are focusing not on interest rate differentials but something more fundamental: Japan and Europe's large current account surpluses.
"When risk aversion dominates, countries that are not reliant on international funding will find their currencies appreciating," CBA currency strategist Richard Grace writes.
When a country has a current account surplus, national saving is greater than national investment, which means it does not need to attract foreign capital and there are plenty of local savings to fund investment and consumption. With less need to attract offshore money, the interest rates in these countries tend to be lower than those with current account deficits (such as Australia).
As such, explains Grace, "the move to further lower interest rates into negative territory may generate an initial shock, but it typically only puts mild temporary downward pressure on the exchange rate".
In the case of the euro, that "initial shock" was massive – a 25 per cent depreciation against the US dollar following the ECB's initial announcement in mid 2014 that they were breaking the zero lower bound for rates.
"However, part of that depreciation was because around the same time the Fed had signalled its intention to end quantitative easing and lift interest rates," argues Grace.
So why do it?
So why push rates below zero if they only have a marginal impact on the currency, at least over the longer term?
"Typically central banks are lowering interest rates into negative territory to meet mandated inflation targets, and not because they want to engage in a 'currency war'," Grace says.
The CBA strategist believes the yen will continue strengthening this year, as Japan's current account surplus stays solid, although he adds that interest rate differentials do matter over the short term. His team's forecast is for the currency to end the year at 112 yen per US dollar. The euro will end 2016 at $US1.12, he reckons.
How does this analysis extend to Australia?
Grace ponders how much the Aussie dollar's resilience in this cycle – refusing, for the most part, to dip far below 70 US cents (and where Grace believes it will finish the year) – has to do with a "structural improvement" in Australia's current account deficit since the GFC.
"The other reason is, of course, that Australia-US interest rate differentials remain relatively high."
But if central bankers in Europe and Japan are indeed trying to push down their respective currencies through the latest moves to negative rates, analysts are now wondering whether policymakers need new ammunition.
"It is hard to see any other path for the BoJ and ECB, suggesting both may opt for more negative rates and play the intervention card if currencies strength persist," Amplifying Global FX Capital currency strategist Greg Gibbs suggests.

Calling method from one class to another
Nov 6, 2012 5:41 PM
Good afternoon guys!
I'm doing a report in the Swing interface using a directory to create a JTree with the reporting hierarchy and I have to put in each report some JComboBox as filters.
I want to put these filters in a class and when I select a specific report and a button, the panel with my filters appear in a main panel already implemented in my main class, so I think it would have to have a method of filters in a another class.
I wish I had something like this:
Could someone give me a hint, I'm late with this company's work!
Thank you!

in response to
I am not sure what you are saying from your statement, but:
You can include any level of chaining calls to classes as you want to get the desired result as long as your caller has visibility to the object you need. You will need to implement the filters, and then call them from the object that will use it. That object can in turn be called and instansiated in a higher level of objects.
If this does not help, I'll need more of descripiton of what you need to be more helpful.
If you're looking for someone to code you an answer---it isn't going to happen.

It seems like everyone wants back and forward navigation buttons in their FileMaker solution that mimic a web browser. Honestly, I have to tell you that I hate installing back and forward buttons because this is a database, not a web browser. Not to say that it can't be done, or that it's overly difficult, or that the features of a web browser aren't very appealing. However, back and forward buttons in FileMaker can break down at some point and they can add quite a bit of overhead to your solution depending on your approach. In fact, I've seen a number of solutions that involve custom functions and calculations that always seem to have problems in complex, controlled solutions. Therefore, what I'll be demonstrating in this solution is a small addition to an existing universal Navigation script. This method will let you selectively log the user's navigation for use with the back and forward buttons. Finally, I'll round out the solution with conditional formatting of the back and forward buttons to make it intuitive for the user.

FairMormon is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing well-documented answers to criticisms of LDS doctrine, belief and practice.
Mormonism and racial issues/Blacks and the priesthood
< Mormonism and racial issues(Redirected from Blacks and the priesthood)
Blacks and the priesthood
The priesthood ban
OverviewSummary: An overview of the priesthood ban that was lifted in 1978.
The origin of the Mormon priesthood banSummary: The origin of the priesthood ban is one of the most difficult questions to answer. Its origins are not clear, and this affected both how members and leaders have seen the ban, and the steps necessary to rescind it. The Church has never provided an official reason for the ban.
Jump to Subtopic:
- Question: What do we know about the origin of the priesthood ban on Church members of African descent?
- Question: Did Joseph Smith confer the priesthood on several black men?
- Question: Why did Brigham Young initiate the priesthood ban?
- Question: What did Church leaders after Brigham Young think of the priesthood ban?
Understanding pre-1978 statements by members and leaders of the ChurchSummary: Critics frequently parade justifications for the ban by past General Authorities that are considered quite racist by today's standards. While these have not been officially renounced, there is no obligation for current members to accept such sentiments as the "word of the Lord," and they most certainly do not reflect the Church's current position and teachings.
Jump to Subtopic:
- Question: How have modern Church leaders reacted to the speculations of the past regarding the reason for the priesthood ban?
- Question: How is it possible for a Church leader or prophet to have been influenced by racism, yet be consistent with the Lord not allowing prophets to lead the Church astray?
Lifting the Priesthood banSummary: Is it true that the Church has never produced a copy of the revelation granting Blacks the ability to receive the priesthood?
Summary: Critics try to raise doubts about the authenticity of the 1978 revelation by claiming that it was dictated by social or governmental pressure.
Joseph Fielding Smith's racial reference in LOOK Magazine in 1963Summary: Critics point to a 1963 statement by Joseph Fielding Smith LOOK Magazine in which he used the word "Darkies" as representative of the Church's racism. These critics, however, are applying a double standard to the Church in 1963. Not one article, photo, or ad in a full 154 pages of this colorful oversized magazine interrupts its perky Caucasian landscape by featuring an African-American. They are not to be seen in ads, Catholic schoolrooms, or even on a featured college football team. Looking at this slice of life from the sixties, the only reason one would have to think blacks even lived in the United States is one photo on page 118 where a few blacks are pictured as the recipients of charity. The patronizing hypocrisy of examining one small church's "attitude toward Negroes" in this sort of environment has, of course, not yet settled into the mainstream of American consciousness.
Policy or doctrine
StatementsSummary: A compilation of statements made by Church leaders both before and after the rescinding of the priesthood ban in 1978.
Banned from temple open housesSummary: Were blacks banned from visiting temples prior to dedication, while other non-members were welcomed?
Repudiated early Mormon teachings regarding race
Summary: There exist previously taught ideas which have been repudiated by Church leaders since the ban. Among these are the notion that Blacks were somehow not as "valiant" in the pre-existence, and that interracial marriage is forbidden.
Mormonism and the concept that some were "neutral" in the "war in heaven"Summary: It is true that LDS scripture states that those with lighter skin color "are favored because of what they did as spirits in a pre-earth life?" Is it true that some Church leaders taught that people who were born with dark skin were "neutral" in the pre-existence?
Jump to Subtopic:
- Gospel Topics: "Today, the Church disavows the theories advanced in the past that black skin is a sign of divine disfavor or curse, or that it reflects actions in a premortal life; that mixed-race marriages are a sin; or that blacks or people of any other race or ethnicity are inferior in any way to anyone else"
- Joseph Fielding Smith: "We know of no scripture, ancient or modern, that declares that at the time of the rebellion in heaven that one-third of the hosts of heaven remained neutral"
- Question: Was the idea that Blacks were neutral in the "war in heaven" ever official doctrine?
- Question: Did Church leaders ever teach that Blacks were neutral in the "war in heaven?"
- Question: Did the Church repudiate the idea of neutrality in the "war in heaven?"
Mormonism and the "curse of Cain"
Jump to Subtopic:
- Gospel Topics: "Today, the Church disavows the theories advanced in the past that black skin is a sign of divine disfavor or curse, or that it reflects actions in a premortal life; that mixed-race marriages are a sin; or that blacks or people of any other race or ethnicity are inferior in any way to anyone else"
- Gospel Topics: "Even after 1852, at least two black Mormons continued to hold the priesthood"
- Question: What are the "curse of Cain" and the "curse of Ham"?
- Question: When did a biblical curse become associated with the "Hamites?"
- Question: When did the "mark of Cain" become associated with black skin?
- Question: How did the "curse of Ham" or "curse of Cain" become associated with Mormonism?
- Question: Is interracial marriage prohibited or condemned within the Church?
- Question: Do the Book of Abraham and the Book of Mormon link a person's skin color to their behavior in the pre-existence?

Alan Shearer has been a sharp critic of the pathetic displays Newcastle have served up this season and none worse than the last two games when we were easily beaten 3-0 at home by Leicester two weeks ago.
After that Steve McClaren shared with the players some home truths in the week that followed that pitiful display but then we were hammered 5-1 at Alan Pardew's Crystal Palace last Saturday,
So whatever Steve did that week certainly didn't work and we assume he moved to plan B this week to get his players ready for the game today against Liverpool.
Alan Shearer – players have shown no courage lately
The players have all too often this season given up in games, which is a high crime and misdemeanour on Tyneside and will not be tolerated.
This is what Alan has written for the Sun on Sunday today.
"I have not seen any courage in this Newcastle United side of late and that is what they have to show this afternoon."
"If not, we could be looking at a cricket score given the way Liverpool have been playing away from home."
"They have scored three, four and six in their last three domestic away games at Chelsea, Manchester City and Southampton."
"Newcastle, meanwhile, conceded three at home to Leicester and five away at Crystal Palace in their last two games. It does not bode well."
"Newcastle need courage to get tackles in, to run for every ball, to try things, to not give up or hide."
"They have to be prepared to receive the ball in difficult situations. They had better not dare fold like they did in the last two games. The fans simply do not deserve it."
We hope that Steve McClaren points out to the players what Alan Sharer has said before the game – that may cause them – well some of them at least – to put up some fight and show some courage this afternoon against the barnstorming Reds.
But we have to say we are just a little bit dubious of what the outcome of this game could be at 6:00 pm today and if are taken apart for the third game running this could be Steve McClaren's last game in charge.
How Will Newcastle Fare Against Liverpool?
- Lose (90%, 5,410 Votes)
- Win (6%, 355 Votes)
- Draw (4%, 214 Votes)
Total Voters: 5,979

Roger Ailes Comment About Joe Biden Offends Ashtrays
Fox News' chief Roger Ailes has greatly insulted the intelligence of tobacco residue receptacles:
"I have a soft spot for Joe Biden," he told Chafets. "I like him. But he's dumb as an ashtray."
Sources tell me the Ashtray Anti-Defamation League is drafting a strongly worded letter to Ailes as we speak, and the organization is also offering evidence that Biden is in fact dumber than an ashtray:
We'll now wait for Ailes to issue his apology to ashtrays everywhere for his insensitive remark.

Good for Roger. My buddy at the financial firm mentioned the whole drive behind milking the SeeQuest for all it's worth and all that pain it causes? To injure and anger as many voters as possible ( and blame it on Rethuglicans ) and totally re-take the House in 2014.
In that context ( and given Prog's long view on everything ) it makes total sense. The last 5+ years of sheer agony we've been through and about j@ck. And dragging us thru *another* 2 years.., if it serves The Agenda, no problem!

I agree that is what they are doing, but I don't know if it will really have the impact they are hoping for. Here are just 2 reasons why.
1) Even the media isn't buying into the hype of these "painful cuts". They seem to realize this may backfire and they are jumping ship. They even asked Carney why the $50 mill for new TSA uniforms when they are plainning of furloughs? Carney didn't even attempt to answer it, he just went onto the next one (personally I think they should have phrased the question as do you think it was wise to spend $50 mil on new uniforms that wont be worn due to the workers being furloughed).
2) By the time the 2014 midterms rolla round the voter will have had plenty of time to have forgotten about these "painful cuts". Just ask the average voter what the fiscal cliff is (9 out of 10 would start talking about the sequestration).
Truesoldier__ on
March 6th, 2013 8:43 pm
And to add to dear leaders problem a new ABC news poll shows that most Americans are in favor of the cuts, but do not like the cuts to defense.

1) Even the media isn't buying into the hype of these "painful cuts".
It's… pretty ludicrous. Kind of like when a husband threatens to cut the WIFE off from s_x. You MEAN it!?
But don't underestimate these PUKES. They really believe in what they're doing. And I think they're fully prepared to turn the entire NATION into Detroit if it means getting what they want!
But I get your meaning, just months after re-electing this douche-nozzle His 'approval' rating is at 43%. As we predicted, He's RIGHT back where he was last summer going into the convention. He'll be in the 30's by the time the kids get out of school.
And that's before $5 gas.
Truesoldier__ on
March 6th, 2013 9:21 pm
And that is the only reason the media is slowly and tacitally turning on him. They will cover for him as long as it doesn't mean they don't go down with him. Besides he has more flexibility now that his last election is over, so he doesn't need as much cover from them (cause he knows Congress aint gonna do nothing to stop him).

Well sure, the last time I turned some sardine and soft drink cans into Swiss cheese, I was mad as a wet hornet, could`a kicked a can right down the road. BOY was I mad.
