With the World Series quickly approaching, fans and teams alike are preparing for weather conditions in both San Francisco, Calif., and Detroit, Mich. Both cities look to see clear skies for the first few 8 p.m. games.

Games 2 of the World Series is set to take place on Oct. 25 in San Francisco at AT&T Park. The park is considered a pitcher-friendly park, with field specs at 364 feet in left, 399 feet dead center and 365 feet in right. With a capacity of 41,915 people, the Park faces east.
Temperatures look to stay in the mid- to upper 50s for Game 2. Thursday night, winds will reach between 7 and 14 mph. 
It's a beautiful night in San Francisco! Congrats Giants! http://pic.twitter.com/lq4lqAW9 · The Blind Pig
McCovey Cove is one of the most notable features of AT&T Park. Spectators wait in the Bay for home run balls to be launched in their direction and frantically sprint to retrieve the souvenir.

Games 3, Oct. 27, and 4, Oct. 28, will be in Detroit at Comerica Park. The open-air, hitter-friendly park faces south-south east. The park can house 41,255 screaming fans, with dimensions of 345 feet in left field, 330 feet in right and a staggering 420 feet at dead center.
Weather conditions this weekend in Detroit could make for an uncomfortable series. Temperatures in the evening will be in the 40s with the wind chill in the 30s. 
"The weather on Saturday is going to be more favorable for football instead of baseball - hitting a cold baseball is like hitting a rock," Senior Meteorologist Dale Mohler explains. The northerly wind will help hitters trying to win the game for the home team.

Victor Hugo Cholico, Chambersburg, was murdered Monday, Oct. 22, at a home on East King St., Chambersburg.

Storified by Public Opinion · Thu, Oct 25 2012 03:55:27

As you all may know Victor Hugo Cholico was murdered on Monday nite Hugo was a loyal employ of our Montezuma family for over 8 years, he was loved and liked by many he greeted people with a smile and always sang Happy Birthday so loud I think he possibly caused a few minor heart attacks. He will be missed by many, and will leave a void in our lives. We would like to start off by saying thank you and job well done to our local authorities for handling everything so promptly. We would also like to thank all of our customers and friends for such loving and wonderful words. We are sorry we had not released his name but we had to wait till family was notified. At this time we are beginning preparations for his viewing and his body to be sent home to his family. Thank you to all who have called to help with funeral costs, if anyone would like to help please stop by either location it will be greatly appreciated. Thank You Again, <br> Montezuma Family — with <a href="http://www.facebook.com/victorhugo.camposolguin" class="">Huguillo Cholico</a>. · Rosy Munoz

19h05 - Julien Dray prend la paroleIl déclare Il y avec force : «une conception qui ne marche plus: celle qui consiste à croire que de l'Europe économique naîtra une Europe sociale. Il y a donc besoin d'une rupture dans la construction européenne.»
Il ajoute : «Nous avons besoin d'une stratégie offensive. [...] Une stratégie offensive, c'est aussi une stratégie de rassemblement de toute la gauche»
Julien Dray cite François Mitterrand: «Celui qui est socialiste ne doit jamais renoncer à transformer le monde»
18h55 - Nicolas Bays Il déclare au début de son intervention: «nous avons l'obligation de réussir à mettre en mouvement ce parti, et nous ne réussirons pas à bouger ce parti si nous ne partons pas de la base»Et d'ajouter : «Le Parti socialiste doit être rassemblé mais surtout il doit être mobilisé avec ses militantes et ses militants»
18h50 - Philippe Cordery
«La réorientation de l'Europe n'est pas seulement souhaitable, mais elle est en cours»«La conquête du mouvement européen doit être une priorité»
18h45- Bruno Le Roux monte à la tribune «Depuis juillet, que de travail déjà accompli.Nous avons traité les urgences et lancé tous les grands chantiers d'avenir.»
Pour preuve il rappelle que Loi de Finances est aujourd'hui un budget de combat : «C'est pourquoi nous pouvons être fiers !»
«Ne nous laissons pas avoir: nous avons toute la légitimité pour réformer, pour rétablir la France et la République !»Et de souligner les valeurs socialistes défendues par le gouvernent dans son action au quotidien: «Nous devons aujourd'hui donner du sens à notre action: le redressement dans la Justice, l'effort partagé, la lutte pour l'emploi»
Il conclut : «c'est dans cette bataille pour réussir le changement que le PS a un rôle clé à jouer.»
Bruno Le Roux intervient au congrès de Toulouse http://pic.twitter.com/x88Pwxln · yannick trigance
18h30 - Juliette Meadel a débuté son intervention en déclarant que «la crise politique que nous connaissons pourrait être le signe annonciateur d'une montée des extrêmes»
Rappelant qu'une réconciliation entre les citoyens et la politique, «ce n'est pas un enjeu mineur»
Et d'ajouter : «Ce qui va faire demain le lit du populisme et des extrêmes, ce n'est pas seulement le rejet de la différence, mais aussi 
l'hostilité et la méfiance vis à vis de notre système de représentation démocratique»
Elle a souligné un des axes forts défendus par Harlem Désir : la parité, et a ajouté : «mais il faudra aller plus loin: c'est une question de principe»Sur le cumul des mandats elle a martelé : «Abolissons le cumul des mandats au plus vite. Si demain nous disons -le non-cumul, c'est tout de suite- nous gagnerons du terrain sur la confiance citoyenne.»Et de conclure avec conviction: «Nous aurons fait mieux que la droite, mieux que l'extrême-droite et mieux que tous les autres partis politiques.»
18h25 - Stephane Hessel s'exprime par la voix d'un message vidéo adressé à tous les congressistes:« Il est maintenant indispensable que nous fassions progresser les idées et les actions de notre parti et pas seulement de notre parti: des autres partis européens qui veulent surmonter cette crise.
Travaillez ensemble, tous unis, mais travaillez vite! »

18h15 - Marianne Louis prend la parole Sur l'avenir du parti elle rappelle que le «temps des tactiques et des carrières solos est fini», car la dureté de la situation exige un PS fort.
Valorisant le débat elle ajoute : «C'est parce que le socialisme est une grande idée qu'il peut accueillir toute la diversité qui le compose.»Et de finir : «Notre responsabilité, c'est d'être une force de proposition et d'action.»

Installing the Logitech Broadcaster Wi-Fi Camera

I'm testing out the new Logitech Broadcaster Wi-Fi Camera that I just received for evaluation.

Storified by Steve Garfield · Fri, Oct 26 2012 10:16:13

First thing you do is download and install the Broadcaster App.
Note: After installing the App, it changed my desktop wallpaper.  I've reported this bug. ;-)

At this point I visited the Logitech Broadcaster Support Website for help.
I'm now looking at the 'Broadcaster Wi-Fi Webcam not found during setup' page.
I've got to check the following:

If your iPhone, iPad or Mac doesn't find your camera during setup, make sure:

The camera is connected to the Wi-Fi network -- you should hear several beeps when the camera connects. The Wi-Fi LED indicators will stop blinking sequentially and show the camera's Wi-Fi signal strength.

Your Wi-Fi router is using the latest available firmware.

The "Enable Multicast Streams" option is checked if you own a D-Link router (found in Advance Network settings).

Your camera and Apple device are on the same Wi-Fi network.

You've entered the correct Wi-Fi network. If your network is hidden or not visible to others, make sure you've checked this option on the screen, and that you've provided the correct security type (WEP, WPA) and the correct password.

The network doesn't have any additional security settings, such as MAC filtering. If you're using MAC filtering, you'll need to specify the Logitech Broadcaster MAC address as well.

NOTE: To find the Broadcaster MAC address, plug the camera into your computer. It will appear as a flash drive called "Broadcaster" — look for a file called MAC.TXT on the drive.

You're connected to a supported network. Non-supported networks are: 802.11 a/b, Enterprise networks (SPA/WPA2 enterprise), and Wi-Fi hotpots that require web authentication.

The camera is within 50 feet (15 meters) of your Wi-Fi router.

Stay tuned.
Update:
I switched WiFi networks, then had to make sure WiFi was on, on my Mac. 
This tip was key: Your camera and Apple device are on the same Wi-Fi network.

There are so many different educational organizations and institutions and understanding each others practices and finding a way to redefine and transform them so they fit our own institution is an important concept that many still need to learn.It's better practices, not best practices.

Storified by Cristina Picozzi · Sat, Oct 27 2012 16:53:07

Oakwood School created this video to not only engage donors is a funny and lighthearted way, but to encourage them that donating is helping so many areas.
Sometimes it takes an influential voice to get people to pay it forward and other times it just takes a strong connection to an organization to give back and pave the way for others.
These two stories talk about how two Harvard alumni donated back to different parts of the school because of traditions and forward thinking that institution has. Stories about donors and their experience can be encouragement for others to think about their philanthropy.
There are other ways to get donor participation and engagement to increase their gift like thanking them for thinking of your institution to begin with.
Tuition Freedom Day · La Sierra University
Tuition Freedom Day at La Sierra University. Tuition Freedom Day is the point in the year when tuition runs out and donations start paying for education. Tuition only covers about 65% of the cost of someones education. Even if a student doesn't receive a lot in aid the tuition ceiling is capped because of unrestricted gifts.
Other activities like National Philanthropy Day are educational but can make philanthropy fun for students and current donors, which is very important for engagement. Using social media to share these concepts is a great way to reach a large audience. Events that get constituents involved can make the biggest impact. They want to know that their opinions matter and that they are important. 
These ideas should be adapted to fit the organization or institution because each entity is different and has a unique constituent base. They will and will want to be engaged in different ways.
