|Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company's functional currency is the Chinese Yuan Renminbi; however the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated and presented in United States Dollars.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the China Pediatric Pharmaceuticals, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries, China Children Pharmaceuticals Co. Limited, and Xi'an Coova Children Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. as well as Shaanxi Jiali Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., a variable interest entity (VIE) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Companys reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The Companys operation in China uses Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY) as its functional currency. The financial statements of the subsidiary are translated into United States Dollars (USD) in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. All assets and liabilities were translated at the current exchange rate, stockholders equity was translated at the historical rates and income statement items were translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance ASC 220, Comprehensive Income. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a company during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments from owners and distributions to owners. For the Company, comprehensive income for the periods presented includes net income, foreign currency translation adjustments.
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Companys management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Companys legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Companys financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed. There were no contingencies at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, cash and cash equivalents were mainly denominated in CNY and were placed with banks in the PRC. These cash and cash equivalents may not be freely convertible into foreign currencies and the remittance of these funds out of the PRC may be subjected to exchange control restrictions imposed by the PRC government.
Accounts Receivable
Management periodically reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate potential credit losses on accounts receivable. The Company grants 90 days payment terms to all credit sales customers.
The accounting estimates regarding provision for doubtful accounts was changed during the fourth quarter in 2011. Bad debt expense increased as accounts receivable turnover increased over 300 days during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. Historically, we did not make any provision for bad debt as all our accounts receivable were collected within 90 days. Provision for doubtful accounts is now estimated as follows: i) 50% on accounts that are outstanding between 91 and 180 days, ii) 75% on accounts that are outstanding between 181 to 365 days, and iii) 100% on accounts that are outstanding for over 365 days.
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or market. The Company compares the cost of inventories with the market value and allowance is made for writing down their inventories to market value, if lower.
Property, Plant & Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives of:
Goodwill represents the excess cost of a business acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Under the provisions of ASC 350, we are required to perform an annual impairment test of our goodwill. Goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test is used to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit, which we define as our business segments, with its net book value or carrying amount including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. The fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit including any unrecognized intangible assets as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit.
Goodwill as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were $nil. Goodwill was arisen from acquisition of assets and liabilities of Baoji facility in fiscal year 2000. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized an impairment loss equal to the carrying amount of goodwill.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit, ranging from ten to fifty years. Management evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically and take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists. No impairments of intangible assets have been identified during any of the periods presented. The land use rights will expire in 2056 and 2058. All of the Companys intangible assets are subject to amortization with estimated lives of:
Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, impairment losses are to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations, when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In accordance with FASB ASC 820, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. In accordance with GAAP, a fair value hierarchy for inputs is used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative financial instruments, as defined in Financial Accounting Standard, consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying (e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further, derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets. The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks.
Value Added Tax Payable
The Company is subject to a value added tax rate of 17% on product sales by the Peoples Republic of China. Value added tax payable is computed net of value added tax paid on purchases for all sales in the Peoples Republic of China.
Revenue Recognition
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with FASB ASC Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition."
Revenue of the Company is primarily derived from the sales of OTC medicines in China. Sales are recognized when the following four revenue criteria are met: i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, ii) shipment has occurred, iii) the selling price is fixed or determinable, and iv) collectability is reasonably assured. Sales are presented net of value added tax (VAT) and net of sales rebate.
There are two types of sales upon which revenue is recognized:
Advertising expenses consist primarily of costs of promotion for corporate image and product marketing, costs of direct advertising. The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred.
Customer Rebates
Rebates are paid to customers every quarter and we recorded customer rebates as customers earned. They are classified as a reduction of revenue according to ASC 605-55-64.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company incurs certain expenses related to preparing, packaging and shipping its products to its customers, mainly third-party transportation fees. All costs related to these activities are included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred shipping charges of $nil and $25,187 respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred shipping charges of $983 and $71,352 respectively.
Stock based compensation
The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance to ASC 718. Compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the equity instruments awarded and is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for that award, or the requisite service period, which is usually the vesting period. For awards to non-employees, the amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized is based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued or the fair value of the goods or services received, whichever is more reliably measurable.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities will be recognized, if any.
On January 1, 2007 the Company adopted the provisions of FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for uncertainty in Income Taxes, included in the Codification as ASC 740, Income Taxes. The topic addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.
Statement of Cash Flows
In accordance with ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows, cash flows from the Companys operations is based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share (EPS)
Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similarly computed, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted net earnings per share are based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to have been exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
Segment Reporting
ASC 280-10-50, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related information requires us of the management approach model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a Companys management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. The Company operates in one segment during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash, accounts receivable and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company has a diversified customer base, most of which are in China. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.
Certain items have been reclassified in the accompanying consolidated Financial Statements and Notes for prior periods to be comparable with the classification for the periods ended September 30, 2012. The reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance on offsetting assets and liabilities and disclosure requirements in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (Update 2011-11). Update 2011-11 requires that entities disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offsetting the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements. Update 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods with those annual periods. The implementation of the disclosure requirement is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
On July 27, 2012, the FASB issued ASU2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. The ASU provides entities with an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If an entity concludes that it is more than 50% likely that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is not impaired, no further analysis is required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, it would be required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets to measure the amount of actual impairment, if any, as currently required under US GAAP. The ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment test performed for fiscal years beginning September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
As of September 30, 2012, there is no other recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that would have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

"Disturbia" (Paramount, $30), which arrives today on DVD, kicked off the Shia La- Beouf juggernaut this spring. The teen thriller -- sort of a "Rear Window" for the MTV generation -- revolves around a high school student placed under house arrest for the summer after he punches out an obnoxious teacher.
While stuck at home sporting an electronic monitoring bracelet, he begins snooping on his neighbors, especially the creepy guy across the street (David Morse), who may or may not be a serial killer.

It's Not About Race [Updated]
by TexasDarlin, Tue May 13, 2008 at 04:03:28 PM EDT
It's all over the blogosphere, the cable TV shows, the newspapers, it's tonight's top talking point from Obama surrogates.
It's Obama's rationale: Defeats in West Virginia (and Kentucky next week) are because those white folks got a problem voting for a black man.
But sorry, that's wrong. Not only is it wrong, it's hugely offensive to fair-minded white people. That's right, most "hillbillies" and southern folk do not discriminate. Imagine how all those white people who voted for Hillary Clinton today feel having their votes explained away due to racism. It's not going to help in November if Obama is the nominee, that much is for sure.
I just saw a FOX News exit poll statistic that 77% of the people in West Virginia said race was NOT a factor in their vote. I absolutely believe them. I believe that a different African American candidate could be much more successful than Obama among some of the white segments where he's struggled. I have been trying to shout this point from the rooftops: It is not Obama's skin color that gives voters pause. It is a collection of other issues, mixed together. It's Rev. Wright damning America, plus "bitter small-towners clinging," plus friendships with guys like Rezko and Ayres, plus Michelle's patriotism gaffe, plus the flag pin problem -- all of that combined with the experience gap, the weak name recognition -- all together, there's the answer.
It's not race, so please stop. If Obama becomes the nominee, I'd suggest that a more effective way to win votes in November is to deal head-on with the liabilities listed in that last paragraph. Playing the race card may have had some limited use in the primary season, but it will be the kiss of death for Democrats as a general-election strategy.
Obama lost West Virginia today by whopping double digits. Convenient as it may be to blame it on racism, that's a costly error.
I'd take it a step further (2.00 / 4)
I don't even think this victory has anything to do with Obama. It isn't a rejection of him... these people LOVE HILLARY! These people believe with all their hearts and minds that Hillary should be our next President. She connects with them, she speaks to them, she gets their enthusiastic support and votes.
Personally, I've never lived in a state that went for Obama. I've lived in RI, NY, MA, NH, CA, NM, PA. Racism doesn't explain why those votes went for Hillary. I don't know a single person that I'd ever in a million years call racist. I know literally hundreds of loyal Clinton supporters and their motivation is exactly like my own: Pro-pro-pro-pro-HILLARY! Not everything is about Obama. :)

Configuring Mail Flow between Exchange 2007 and Lotus Domino
Topic Last Modified: 2011-08-01
A main consideration when you configure mail flow between Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and IBM Lotus Domino is how to handle e-mail addressing between the two messaging systems. The steps to configure mail flow differ for sharing a domain name, for when you use a subdomain, or for when you have different namespaces.
You can use this document as a step-by-step guide to configure an Exchange 2007 server and a Domino server to successfully send e-mail between the servers. The steps in this document use subdomains for the messaging domains. Specifically, exchange.contoso.com as the Microsoft Exchange SMTP address space and domino.contoso.com as the Domino address space.
In Microsoft Exchange, you can route messages to Lotus Notes from Exchange by using the SMTP protocol. This process is changed from earlier versions of Microsoft Exchange. To create a successful message flow to a Domino server in earlier versions of Microsoft Exchange, you must use the Message Transfer Agent (MTA), and you must have the Notes client installed on the Microsoft Exchange server.
To perform the following procedures, the account that you use must be delegated the following users:
Exchange Server Administrator role and local Administrators group for the target server
To perform the following procedures on a computer that has the Edge Transport server role installed, you must log on by using an account that is a member of the local Administrators group on that computer.
For more information about permissions, about delegating roles, and about the rights that are required to administer Exchange 2007, see Permission Considerations.
Create a remote domain to represent the Domino address space. To do this, follow these steps:
Start the Exchange Management Console.
In the navigation pane, expand the Organization Configuration container.
Under Organization Configuration, click Hub Transport.
In the details pane, click the Remote Domains tab.
In the Actions pane, click New Remote Domain.
In the New Remote Domain dialog box that appears, type a descriptive name in the Name box. For example, type Domino_Mail.
In the Domain name box, type the SMTP root domain for Exchange users and for Lotus Notes users. For example, type contoso.com.
Click to select the Include all subdomains check box, and then click Next.
|The Include all subdomains check box lets you use this remote domain object to route messages to the domino.contoso.com domain.
Follow the remaining steps to create the new domain.
After you create the domain object, right-click the object, and then click Properties.
In the Domino_Mail Properties dialog box, click the General tab.
Under Out-of-office message types delivered to this remote domain, click Allow external out-of-office messages only.
Click the Message Format tab.
Under Exchange rich-text format, click Never use, and then click OK.
|These changes are required because Notes does not recognize these data types. If you allow Exchange rich-text format (RTF), each message that a Notes user receives will include a Winmail.dat attachment.
After you create a remote domain object for the Notes users, you must create a new SMTP Send connector. This lets Microsoft Exchange know where to send messages that are destined for the Domino domain. In the example domain that is used in this document, Notes users have an SMTP address of <username>@domino.contoso.com and Microsoft Exchange uses DNS to deliver to the domino.contoso.com domain. To configure a new Send connector, follow these steps:
In the Actions pane under Hub Transport, click New Send Connector.
In the New SMTP Send Connector dialog box, type a descriptive name in the Name box. For example, type Domino_Outbound.
In the Select the intended use for this Send connector list, click Custom, and then click Next.
Under Address space, click Add.
In the Domain box, type domino.contoso.com.
Click OK, and then click Next.
Under Network settings, click Use domain name system (DNS) "MX" records to route mail automatically, and then click Next.
|If you do not have DNS name resolution configured for the Domino domain, you can click Route mail through the following smart hosts, and then configure the Domino server as a smart host.
Review the items that appear under Configuration Summary, and then click New.
Create a new SMTP Receive connector to let the Domino SMTP server deliver messages to Microsoft Exchange. Because you cannot have two connectors that have the same scope, you must make this connector different from the default Receive connector. To do this, either change the scope of addresses that are allowed to connect to this connector, or specify the IP address or port that this connector listens on. The example in this document uses a specific IP address for the new Receive connector. To create the new connector, follow these steps:
In the Exchange Management Console, perform one of the following steps.
Edge Transport server
On a computer that has the Edge Transport server role installed, click Edge Transport.
In the details pane, click the Receive Connectors tab.
- Hub Transport server
On a computer that has the Hub Transport server role installed, expand Server Configuration, and then click Hub Transport.
In the details pane, select the server on which you want to create the connector, and then click the Receive Connectors tab.
- On a computer that has the Edge Transport server role installed, click Edge Transport.
In the Actions pane click New Receive Connector.
In the New SMTP Receive Connector dialog box, type a descriptive name in the Name box. For example, type Domino_Inbound.
In the Select the intended use for this Send connector list, click Custom, and then click Next.
Under Local Network settings, click Add, type the IP address that you want the server to use to receive Domino messages. For example, type 192.168.1.31.
Click OK.
In the Specify the FQDN this connector will provide in response to HELO or EHLO box, type the FQDN of the server. For example, type Exchange.contoso.com.
Click Next.
Review the items that appear under Completion, and then click Finish.
After you create the new SMTP Receive connector, you must configure the connector to allow the Domino server to submit messages to Exchange. To do this, follow these steps:
Right-click the new SMTP Receive connector, and then click Properties.
Click the Permission Groups tab.
Click to select the following check boxes.
- Anonymous users
- Exchange servers
- Anonymous users
Click the Authentication tab, click to select the Externally Secured [for example, with IPsec] check box, and then click OK.
Modify the configuration documents on the Domino server to configure mail flow together with Microsoft Exchange. These changes include the following:
Modifying the Server document
Modifying the Domain configuration document
Modifying the Server configuration document
Creating a new SMTP domain to represent the Exchange domain
To modify the server document, follow these steps:
Start a Lotus Notes Client instance by using an account that has administrative rights. Then, open the Domino Directory.
Under Configuration, expand Servers, and then click All Server Documents.
In the details pane, expand the domain if it is not already expanded, and then click the server object.
Click Edit Server. In this document, the domain is named contoso and the example Domino server is named DomSrv1/contoso.
On the Server: DomSrv1/contoso page, click the Basics tab, and then modify the SMTP Listener Task. To do this, click the task, click Enabled in the Select Keywords dialog box, and then click OK.
|This action lets the Domino server listen on port 25 for SMTP connections.
Modify the Routing Task to include SMTP Mail Routing. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Mail Routing.
In the Select Keywords dialog box, click to select the following check boxes:
- Mail Routing
- SMTP Mail Routing
Click OK.
- Click Mail Routing.
Click Save & Close.
To modify the domain configuration document, follow these steps:
In the Lotus Notes client, expand Configuration, expand Messaging, and then click Domains.
In the details pane, expand Global Domain, click the global domain object, and then click Edit Domain.
On the Domain <GlobalDomainName> page, Click the Conversions tab
Modify the Alternate Internet domain aliases field by adding the domino.contoso.com domain.
Click Save & Close.
To modify the server configuration document, follow these steps:
In the Lotus Notes client, expand Configuration, expand Servers, and then click Configurations.
In the details pane, click the server object. For example, click DomSrv1/Contoso. Then, click Edit Configuration.
On the Configuration Settings: DomSrv1/Contoso page, click the MIME tab.
On the MIME tab, click the Conversion Options tab.
On the Conversion Options tab, click the General tab. Then, set the Return receipts option to Disabled.
On the Conversion Options tab, click the Outbound tab.
On the Outbound tab, change the Message content option from Notes to Plain Text to from Notes to Plain Text and HTML. This action enables additional message enhancements when messages are sent from Notes to Microsoft Exchange users.
Click Save & Close.
To add a new domain, follow these steps:
In the Lotus Notes client, expand Configuration, expand Messaging, and then click Domains.
In the details pane, click Add Domain.
In the new domain, click the Basics tab. Then change the Domain type field from Foreign Domain to Foreign SMTP Domain.
Click the Routing tab. Then, modify the Internet Domain field to specify the Exchange subdomain. For example, exchange.contoso.com.
Modify the Internet host field to specify the FQDN or IP address of the Exchange server to which you want to route outgoing SMTP messages.
Click Save & Close.

The Bottom Line
The movie that launched Studio Ghibli, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind is an ambitious adventure film that ultimately doesn't rank as one of famed animation director Hayao Miyazaki's more memorable efforts. The filmmaker initially does an impressive job of establishing the movie's post-apocalyptic world – if nothing else, the film is gorgeously, captivatingly animated – but he eventually weighs the proceedings down with a storyline that's just too long and too convoluted for its own good.
- Beautiful hand-drawn animation
- An epic storyline with environmentally-friendly overtones
- Hours worth of supplemental materials
- Storyline is difficult to comfortably follow
- Lack of compelling supporting characters
- Some bonus features aren't in high definition
- Featuring the voices of Alison Lohman, Patrick Stewart, Uma Thurman, Shia LaBeouf, Mark Hamill, and Edward James Olmos
- Directed by Hayao Miyazaki
- Rated PG for violence
- Blu-ray Release Date: March 8, 2011
Guide Review – 'Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind' Blu-ray Review
The Story
Set 1000 years after an apocalyptic war, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind follows a plucky princess named Nausicaä as she leads her community's ongoing battle against a vicious scourge of oversized insects. The insects aren't Nausicaä's only problem, however, as much of the film details her efforts at coping with the arrival of a war-like group of humans known as the Tolmekians.
The Bonus Features
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind marks the second of Miyazaki's movies to arrive on Blu-ray, following 2008's Ponyo, and the film boasts as flawless and crystal-clear a transfer as one might've hoped. Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment also packs this two-disc set with a number of bonus features, with the most impressive item here an option to watch the entire film via storyboards. Though it's hard to imagine anyone sitting down and viewing the whole movie through these crude storyboards, this is certainly an interesting feature that provides an eye-opening glance at the inception of one of Miyazaki's films.
In terms of more traditional behind-the-scenes featurettes, the set comes armed with a 28-minute documentary entitled The Birth Story of Studio Ghibli – which, as promised by its title, explores the origins of Japan's famed Studio Ghibli and how Miyazaki came to be involved. Up next is an eight minute piece called Behind the Microphone, which looks at the process of recording the movie's English-language dialogue (and includes a very young-looking Shia LaBeouf recording his lines). Finally, Behind the Studio: Creating Nausicaä allows Miyazaki himself to talk about the origins of the film and his exploits in bringing his own manga to life. The set also comes with an interactive map, several trailers and commercials for the movie, and a copy of the film on DVD.

Food is one topic that it seems everyone has an opinion on — opinions that for the most part can't be proven right or wrong.
You can't help what you like. Your taste buds have full control on that one. And with the variation among all of our taste buds comes variation in our favorite restaurants in town.
Yelp lists the top five restaurants in Gilroy as OD's Kitchen, Famous Dave's BBQ, Garlic City Cafe, Pho Thanh An and Black Bear Diner.
Over on the Gilroy Patch Facebook page, we asked readers for their restaurant suggestions and favorite orders at those eateries, and here are some of the responses:
Dave: OD's Kitchen, hands down. Any omelette w/ homefries & the coffee cup is NEVER empty!! Open at 7 most days!! Thanks, Mikey, for carrying on!! LOVE 'EM!!!
Debbie: Westside Grill and raviolis
Lynn: Tasso's
Christopher: Old City Hall ...one helluva rib eye steak and the calamari is damn near perfect
Melissa: Victoria's. Huevos rancheros.
TJ: For the Gilroy original restaurants, OD's and Sandy's Cafe are great. Anything at either one is ALWAYS yummy. For chain restaurants I want to say Mimi's, but Famous Dave's tips are to die for!
Christie: Stubby's Sport Bar & Grill
Edgar: The Milias Restaurant, best appetizer menu anywhere
So what do you think? What is the best restaurant in Gilroy and what do you order there? Tell us in the comments!

Finding Granddad's War
Speaker: Jeffrey Badger
Jeffrey Badger, author of the book Finding Granddad's War, will tell us the story of his tracking down the WWII army pals of the grandfather he never knew, and talk about using military records – for both WWI and WWII – for family history research.
To discover the grandfather he never knew, Jeff Badger, armed with only a handful of photographs that his deceased grandfather brought home from WII, set off to find his grandfather's war buddies. He found and interviewed 32 elderly Army-engineer veterans from his granddad's unit, including his grandfather's four best buddies. Their firsthand accounts created an intimate and honest portrait of their war: the work of an engineering maintenance company working behind the lines to repair equipment for the infantry, retrieving damaged equipment from the front, avoiding German snipers, building bridges in Germany under enemy fire, coping with the death of a best friend. One Jewish GI said the hardest part of the war was the anti-Semitism - not from the Germans, but from his fellow GI "buddies". The author then tracked down the Jewish GI's main antagonist to get his side of the story.
A book signing will follow the lecture.
Jeffrey Badger was born in Dublin, California and grew up on Ogden, Utah and Uvalde, Texas. He attended the University of Texas at Austin, Pennsylvania State University and Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, where he received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering. He has lived in six states and five countries and now works independently as a consultant/expert in the grinding of metal. In 1998 he became obsessed with finding and then telling the story of his deceased grandfather's WWII unit, the 978th Engineering Maintenance Company. He said, "You hear about the infantry and the great battles, but you don't hear about the other 90% of GIs who were fighting the war but in a different way. I wanted to tell their story." In his research he interviewed 32 veterans and also civilians in France, Holland and Germany who knew them in 1944/1945
Admission: JGS members are free, guests $5 at the door.
The Ackman & Ziff Family Genealogy Institute at CJH will be open before the meeting at 11:00 a.m. for networking with other researchers and access to research materials and computers.

By Janet Hill, Coalition of Labor Union Women (CLUW) email@example.com
Woo hoo! Call your senator and thank him or her! Violence against women and children has been eliminated! No domestic violence, no date rape, no stalking, no workplace violence. It's all gone! All those stories about domestic violence going up when the economy is bad, those are just tall tales! After all that has to be why funding levels are being slashed back to 2000 levels in VAWA 2011 (Violence Against Women Act 2011) and some people don't want to reauthorize it at all.
After all it's not like women are half the population or anything and surely it's not better to prevent women from being killed or injured by violence than to just let the chips fall where they may….
By the way, the act also protects men and children from violence. That funding cut – more than three fourths of VAW programs have had their overall funding cut from state local and private sources and are reporting that demand for programs has increased, so maybe it's just not a tall tale? As a matter of fact the Centers for Disease Control reports that as many as 24 people per minute are victims of violence by an intimate partner.
The Network to End Domestic Violence estimates that more than 3.5 million violence survivors were turned away due to inadequate funding and staffing of VAW programs. So when you make that call to your senator – let them know that you think it's wrong and costly to turn away violence victims. VAWA not only provided training to youth and boys to help prevent violence, it also provides assistance to local law enforcement to investigate and prosecute crimes and support to nonprofits to assist survivors with transitional housing, legal assistance and supervised visitation services. It provides tools to help police the courts and other providers to help identify those at high risk of homicide. It also provides help in tribal communities.
So make that call and ask your senator why he or she is cutting services to your sister, mother, aunt, niece or grandchild? After all doesn't being half the population count for something? Doesn't it make sense and isn't it less expensive to prevent violence before it occurs. While you are at it – talk to your neighbor and let them know what Congress is up to. Violence occurs in neighborhoods and schools and it's up to us all to prevent it.

A man allegedly broke into his his ex-girlfriend's home and allegedly bit her face after a quarrelsome night out last week.
Jovan Orlando Horsey, 26, of the 1300 block of Lewis Lane in Havre De Grace, was arrested the night of the July 25 incident and charged with third-degree burglary and second-degree assault.
The woman told police that the assault occurred after the couple had a physical fight at the Windsor Inn Crab House, according to police spokeswoman Elise Armacost.
That business is located at 7207 Windsor Mill Road in Windsor Mill.
At about 3:18 a.m. Horsey allegedly came to his girlfriend's residence in the 3600-block of Eitemiller Road in Milford Mill, according to police.
When he allegedly banged on the door, she told him to leave, and she refused to answer.
However, he allegedly went to the rear of the house, broke in and allegedly "went up to the victim's room, where he bit her face," according to the police statement.
The woman, 26, refused medical treatment.

Cricket is a gentleman's game and it should remain as gentleman's not tainted
It is not a case for the court to interfere and ban matches
Definitely there is some kind of irregularity. But the biggest problem is the lackadaisical attitude of BCCI. It should stop. There has to be some scientific dispassionate and impartial approach to solve these problems.

Sixty-two jurisdictions prosecuted the majority of criminals executed in the United States in recent decades, according to a new study.
An analysis released Wednesday by the Washington-based Death Penalty Information Center found that while 32 states allow for capital punishment, most jurisdictions don't use it. Two percent of the counties in the country were responsible for 685 of the 1,320 executions from 1976, when the Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty, to 2012.
Harris County, Texas, executed 115 inmates, by far the largest total of any county. Jurisdictions in Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Arizona had executions numbering in the double digits.
In Northern Virginia, Prince William County had nine death-row inmates who were executed, and Fairfax County had five.
Virginia's Chesterfield (8), Virginia Beach City (8), Hampton City (5), Pittsylvania (5) and Portsmouth City (5) were also listed in the study.
Among the most high-profile executions arising from a Prince William case was that of John Allen Muhammad, who was part of a sniper team that gunned down 10 people in the Washington area in 2002. Federal authorities chose to prosecute Muhammad in Prince William in part because of Commonwealth's Attorney Paul Ebert's record in capital cases. He has sent more than a dozen people to Virginia's death row.
Richard Dieter, the executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, said the study shows that criminals face vastly different odds depending on where their crimes were committed.
"There's an arbitrariness to the death penalty," he said. "Most of the counties in Virginia have never had an execution in this modern era."
Ebert said he seeks death sentences for criminals who are "the worst of the worst."
"Very few qualify for" capital punishment, Ebert said. "For some reason, Prince William seems to get people who qualify." Some prosecutors in the state favor the death penalty but have stopped enforcing it because of the expense and difficulty, he said. "We're sworn to enforce the law that exists, and it's repugnant to me to think that you're going to administer justice based on finances."
In the most recent execution in a Prince William case, Paul Warner Powell, who murdered one woman and raped and nearly killed her sister, died in Virginia's electric chair in March 2010. A 60-year-old man who was executed a year earlier had killed a young couple.
Another recent Prince William death sentence was overturned by a federal court because of the mishandling of retracted testimony. But the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit ruled in May that the District Court judge went too far in halting a retrial, and prosecutors are free to pursue a new case against Justin Michael Wolfe in a drug-related killing.
Prince William is tied for 20th on the list of counties which have had inmates executed since 1976. There are seven counties smaller than Prince William, with its population of about 430,000, that saw as many or more executions in the past three dozen years.
In recent years, the use of capital punishment across Virginia has declined dramatically. The state has had fewer death sentences in the past five years than any period since the 1970s. While polls find a majority of Americans still favor capital punishment, support has been steadily declining since the mid-1990s.

Sunburn isn't the only sign of summer that can leave you itchy and blistered
You've got a rash. You quickly rule out the usual suspects: You haven't been gardening or hiking or even picnicking, so it's probably not a plant irritant such as poison ivy or wild parsnip; likewise, it's probably not chiggers or ticks carrying Lyme disease; and you haven't been swimming in a pond, which can harbor the parasite that causes swimmer's itch.

I love this recipe!! I love almond-anything, and the combination of dairy/fruit/nut in this parfait was so yummy. I used home-canned peaches instead of plums (since I had them on hand), so I skipped the directions related to the plums. I also added some almond extract to the ricotta/maple syrup mixture. And I carmelized the almonds in sugar so they were sweet and crunchy. This makes an excellent healthy dessert, or even something to serve as a side.
This recipe as written was not particularly good. The plums sauteed in maple syrup and butter was very good, but the ricotta cheese mixed with maple syrup was gritty and not enjoyable to eat. I removed the ricotta and used cream instead (without the syrup). I also shaved some dark chocolate over the top. The revised dish was a hit.
I made this with fresh strawberries instead and it was fantastic.

PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) and other members of the media were invited to visit the set of The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition at Eagle Ridge Golf and Country Club in General Trias, Cavite, yesterday, May 18.
While the contestants were out for a challenge, the staff of the show toured us around the club house which would serve as the residence of the 12 Biggest Loser participants for 17 weeks.
After that, the group had separate sessions with professional fitness trainer Chinggay Andrada and sports medicine specialist Jim Saret to let us experience the type of workouts they give to the participants.
Former radio jock Chinggay admitted that almost 90 percent of the contestants were having a hard time with the physical activities.
However, she said, this was never a hindrance for them to go on with the challenges.
She related, "Siyempre naman, lahat mahirap sa kanila kasi for a lot of them, it's been years. Sa lahat bago.
"But that's been the best part: their willingness and their drive. Nandoon talaga 'yong drive, as in very committed."
Because of this attitude, the trainers themselves were inspired to help the 12 "Bigating Pinoy" reach their main goal: to lose weight.
Chinggay, who monitors the progress of the Red team, said, "As a trainer, how can I not be committed and motivated to train them even harder? Kasi, kung ano ang ibibigay ko sa kanila, it is to always keep in mind that we train safe.
"Sometimes we train hard but other times we don't train as hard. But the motivation talaga for them is to keep in mind that training, proper way of eating, and making sure that you're well-rested.
"It's something that they will take out if this camp. That's the most important thing, that they're able to sustain this sa labas."
BEING ATTACHED TO THE CONTESTANTS. Meanwhile, each of the 12 "Bigating Pinoy" contestants has his or her own reasons to lose weight. And this was what influenced Chinggay and Jim to take the offer as their trainers. (CLICK HERE to read related article)
On his first day, Jim thought his job would be easier than training elite athletes. He's currently training the members of Philippine National Basketball Team called Smart Gilas.
Jim recalled, "When I first got here parang pa-easy-easy lang ako, e. Honestly, madali sa akin ang magpapayat kasi I've been training Philippine Basketball team, may weight category 'yan, e, so dapat mag-stay ka sa ganitong point. Kung sinabi nila na, 'O, you need to lose two pounds.' Kaya kong pagawin sa mga athletes yan. Kayang-kaya 'yan."
