Email for hostname goes to /var/mail instead of /var/vmail
mailboxes that i setup with ispconfig get stored in /var/vmail. I can send and recieve mails for my virtual domains fine.
just for my server name its a bit diffrent:
i fist set up a new mail domain which is equal to my hostname.
mailboxes i set up for that mail domain will be created in /var/vmail as supposed.
when there are incoming mails for that domain postfix tries to put them in /var/mail instead of /var/vmail.
so only mails for one preconfigured mail account (i guess i set that up during installation) get delivered others will be rejected with "user unknown".
i also cannot find the mailboxes in my IMAP/POP3 account since its loaded from /var/vmail...
what might be configured incorrectly here? can anyone point me to where i can fix this?
Do not use a domain that you want to use for email as server name as postfix does not support it to mix virtual and real system users. Reconfigure postfix to use a subdomain like mail.yourdomain.com instead of just yourdomain.com
So i am supposed to have this in /etc/postfix/main.cf
myhostname = mail.mydomain.com
instead of
myhostname = mydomain.com
ok thanks a lot i fixed it by also setting:
mydestination = mail.mydomain.com, ....

I have been buying this fresh yeast for months now. Every time I make bread with this, I never fail to get fantastic results -- like a professional boulangerie! Thank you Ocado for finding this!!!

I haven't used fresh yeast in years!!....
...mostly because it's such a pain to get a hold of. Not any more now I have discovered it on Ocado! This is beautiful quality yeast and is freezable. I cut each block into quarters, wrap each one in cling film and freeze, because that is about the amount I will use at a time when I need it. Here's a weekday dinner pizza recipe: In the morning before work... Mix 1/4 of one of these blocks of yeast with 1/2 teaspoon of sugar. Leave for a couple of mins then add to 320ml warm water. Add this yeasty potion to 250g 00 pasta flour and 250 strong white flour with 1 t salt which has been mixed in a bowl. Combine and knead for 10 mins (again in the bowl..less mess and bother than the work top). Coat with a tiny bit of olive oil and cover bowl with cling film. Go to work.....Come home. Make 3 pizza shaped discs out of your beautifully risen dough, top with passata / basil / cheese etc. and bake in an oven as hot as it will go (about 240) on a pre heated tray for 10 mins. Perfect.

Excellent yeast for breadmaker!
I totally agree with the other reviews that this yeast makes the most excellent, tasty bread! I have had a breadmaker for about a year now and have experimented with different flours and yeast both fresh and dried and this yeast makes far superior bread! It is light and airy and just takes delicious! I have frozen the rest of the cubes as per the reviews suggested and it still makes the most excellent bread I have ever tasted! Yum, Yum!

I'll never go back to using dried yeast after this - the results are just so much better and more reliable

Is ELCI needed if AC only runs to GFCI outlets?

Re: Is ELCI needed if AC only runs to GFCI outlets?
If you want to be ABYC compliant, you need the ELCI and I would advocate the GFCI as well.
Two different devices to deal with. The ELCI has been tested to work "better" in higher load marine environments....ie it should not trip as often as the GFCIs currently may do, especially on loaded, unbalanced systems.
Down side is they are expensive and larger devices to install, although some manufacturers are finally getting some quite small and boat power friendly. See Hubble.
Your boat, your decision...you may speak with your insurance company for further thoughts and actual events that may have lead to the approval by ABYC

Got an issue with a system that hasn't been made by me, but it is a custom built system running in ASP, on IIS7 and it uses a MS Access database.
The error we're getting at the moment which only happens on some entries is this:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0006'
/DAD3v2/save_form.asp, line 157
this is what line 157 looks like:
I don't claim to know anything about this code or how it works, but the same error under IIS6 is supposably fixable with a hoxfix by MS. The information that i've been given is that this is occouring because two sites or components are conflicting and trying to write to the same memory space.Code:average=round(total/(band_grade(slot)+band_grade(slot-1)+band_grade(slot-2)),0)
Can anyone help me out here? any suggestions welcome, I'm getting a headache.
Error 800a0006 appears to be divide by zero according to google, so (band_grade(slot)+band_grade(slot-1)+band_grade(slot-2)) must evaluate to 0 somewhere earlier in the code if this helps.

Very Basic but Useful App
by: Review created: Oct 20, 2014
Review:PDF Catalog is definitely with the price (FREE!). This is a very basic app, with virtually no ability to customize to meet specific business needs (e.g., no sorting, no ebay listing numbers, no page numbers). The quality of the photos is good. Unfortunately, PDF Catalog does not always use the current primary photo from the ebay listing. The text provided is the listing headline - good feature. Again, unfortunately, the format of the text leaves a lot to be desired.
Bottom line - you get what you pay for - as a free app, this is worth a try. Don't expect much in the way of support. But if you are looking for a basic catalog that shows all of your ebay listings (and prices if you choose - the only bit of customization available), give PDF Catalog a try.

if you don't like the fit of these, please return them, because they WILL NOT STRETCH.
i have been wearing a new pair of wg deeps, every single day, since april 6th, and they have not stretched at all . . . .ESPECIALLY in the thigh. so if you want them baggier, get a size bigger.
No, I like the fit, they are just tight enough that I can't gain much weight. But they have stretched a bit already. Not by much, but better than when I first put them on.
I think the NF jeans look baggy in some of the pictures because the models are wearing jeans that are sized up a bunch. This is particularly noticeable on *********. I have a pair of weird guy indigo jeans that I have been wearing for less than a week and they are pretty slim, though not super skinny. I also think NF makes a skinnier cut.
My jeans were initially very tight (I sized down two as recommended), but after the fairly short amount of time that I have been wearing them, they have stretched out a bit in the thighs and crotch. I'm not sure that any potential future children are free from danger just yet, but they are much safer than they were the first day. At first I wasn't sure if these jeans would work out, but now I'm pretty confident that I will wear them for a while. In a month or two I will decide if I want to buy a size larger for my next pair.
I do feel that the waist on these jeans is a bit large compared to the thigh and crotch dimensions.

Anyone here own a pair of N&F Japan Heritage?
How are they?
Would a size 29 fit me? I'm a regular size 30 with belt.
The skinny guy of Japan Heritage is cut a bit smaller than other ones so if your getting the skinny guy go with size 30
the material gets a lot softer as you wear them more, the 15oz denim definitely isn't as stiff as it used to be, but even from sagging, i haven't noticed stretching at all - which usually is the case with heavier denim.

what jeans do you have now, the tagged size on most jeans are usually completely wrong. It might be that you are closer to a 32-33 you should measure your current jeans first then decide based on the sizing chart.
I measured the current jeans I use often and It's 15" x2 so It's Size 30 right? That's what the tag says also.
So 30" waist Is what I should order and I think N&F size 29 Is like 31" waist, Should be okay right?
Should be fine at the waist just make sure to take proper thigh measurements, as it seems a lot of the guys on here have trouble with that area. You might be able to go 28 in the Wg if your true waist is a 30. but again check other measurements first then decide.
"* Size 29 (31" waist, 10.25" rise, 11.25" thigh, 8.1" knee, 36" inseam, 7.1" leg opening)" - According to the Blueowl measurements.
How does the thigh measurements work?
I also measured my jeans on one leg/thigh and they were about 11" thighs does that seem right to fit the WG Japan Heritage? To measure thighs It's near the crotch area right?

the thighs and legs of those are really really really big to begin with for the skinnyguy cut . . . other than that, I was able to get my waist to stretch an extra inch, so now my 34w tags measure to a 36 in the waist. also i dont think that the thighs will stretch all, but they really are big from the get go.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Just in time for the state's latest cold snap, a handful of statues of classic Minnesota Twins players outside Target Field will be outfitted with custom-knit sweaters, hats and scarves.
A team spokesman says statues of Rod Carew, Kent Hrbek and Tony Oliva get their knitted goods Sunday afternoon. They were made by members of the Twin Cities' active knitting community, and are adorned with the TwinsFest 2013 logo to help publicize that annual event the following weekend.
The timing looks to be convenient. Forecasts call for Twin Cities highs on Sunday in the single digits, with lows dipping below zero.
The knitting club is also donating yards of yarn to the Twin Cities Boys and Girls Club, and members have volunteered to teach knitting classes at metro area clubs.

A Ship Without a Sail
By Gary MarmorsteinSimon & Schuster
"It's smooth! It's smart!
It's Rodgers! It's Hart!"
It's Cole Porter from DuBarry Was a Lady—the song, "Well, Did You Evah!"; the singers, Betty Grable and Charles Walters; the year, 1939. When the song was recycled for Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra in the 1956 movie High Society, this snatch of Porter's lyric was gone, but smooth, smart Rodgers and Hart weren't, and more than half a century later they're still with us, on scores of CDs and on iTunes, their most famous songs the meat and potatoes (or maybe the caviar) of countless jazz and cabaret artists. The year before Porter's DuBarry, R&H had triumphed with both I Married an Angel and The Boys From Syracuse. A slew of other hit shows lay in the past, and Pal Joey was coming up, with By Jupiter on its heels.
The quality of their work was at its peak, their fame and fortune at their height. Yet just a few years later, the partnership was over, and Larry Hart—at forty-eight—was dead, while Dick Rodgers, only forty-one, was launched on his even more triumphant partnership with Oscar Hammerstein. The story of the irresistible and tragic Lorenz Hart, of his collaboration with the more grounded and less exuberant Richard Rodgers, and of the Broadway musical comedy from the twenties to the forties is the subject of Gary Marmorstein's new soup-to-nuts biography of Hart, A Ship Without a Sail.
The book begins at the end of the story—with Larry's death, and the complicated and ugly fight over his will, and the way Teddy Hart, his beloved younger brother, and Teddy's wife, Dorothy, were (or weren't?) done out of their fair share of his money. There was a ruthless, perhaps dishonest manager, but to Marmorstein there was a more subtle villain: Richard Rodgers. Not that he grabbed money for himself—he was scrupulous in his business dealings—but, we're told, "countering Teddy Hart's accusation of undue influence on his brother, Rodgers tiptoed along the precipice of perjury." In the lawsuits that followed, Marmorstein writes, "Teddy Hart lost one appeal after another. Rodgers secured what he'd wanted: control of the copyrights to those extraordinary songs." So ended the exhilarating and rewarding collaboration of twenty-five years—in rage, in grief, and in court.
Larry Hart and Dick Rodgers were both bright Jewish boys from Manhattan who at one point or another went to Columbia, but there the similarity in their backgrounds ends. The Rodgerses were well-to-do, Dr. Rodgers a prominent physician who enjoyed an haute-bourgeois life—elegant apartment, good connections, conventional environment. Max Hart, Larry's father, wasn't prominent, elegant, or conventional. Known as the Old Man, he was short, coarse, with a thick accent, and his manners were less than genteel. (No one ever forgot that at least once, in a moment of impatience, he urinated out a window.) Max claimed he was in real estate, among other respectable things, but essentially he was a con man with strong Tammany associations, convicted once for grand larceny and another time for fraudulent use of the mails, but both times freed on appeal. He never appeared abashed, and Larry had fun telling people that his father was "a crook." Fortunately for the family, Max was usually in funds, and he spent his money lavishly—mostly on them.
Nothing was too good for Frieda Hart—Momma—a tiny, open-minded, open-hearted woman everyone adored. And nothing was stinted when it came to Larry and Teddy: the best food, the best clothes, the best schools in town.
Throughout Larry's high-school and college years, the Harts' house was an almost abnormally hospitable gathering place for all the pals the two boys brought home: an endless flow of food, drink, laughter, warmth, and talk that was both serious and provocative. Max, who liked a good laugh, a good meal, a good drink, and a good dirty story, would often join in and be the life of the party, while Frieda smiled and provided. As Frederick Nolan wrote in his excellent 1994 biography of Hart, Frieda "didn't seem to mind [the gang's] stripping her front parlor of furniture and turning the room into a sort of debating hall where politics, literature, poetry, and girls were hotly discussed until dawn." No one else had a family like Larry's. Yes, the Harts were disreputable, but they were generous and lively and fun. Dick Rodgers, years later, would call them "unstable, sweet, lovely people."
Even as a young adolescent, Larry was writing lyrics and sketches, and Max, who had theatrical friends like Lillian Russell, took his older son's precocious talent seriously. He had started taking Larry to theater and vaudeville when he was six, and the kid soaked it all up. He was also reading voraciously, mastering languages, writing for the school paper, going to a series of summer camps that specialized in putting on plays, skits, and revues. By the time he was in his twenties, he was in charge of the entertainment, staging such musicals as Leave It to Jane, one of the most popular of the famous Jerome Kern–P. G. Wodehouse–Guy Bolton Princess Theatre shows that he revered.
All of this was an invaluable training ground and apprenticeship as Larry started moving into semiprofessional areas of the theater, most significantly the annual Columbia University Varsity Shows, which would run for a week in places like the Hotel Astor. He got the job of adapting the songs for an English-language version of a German musical that played in Yorkville, its star named Mizi Gizi, its hit song "Meyer, Your Tights Are Tight." Soon he was translating German plays for the Shubert brothers, at fifty dollars a week. Not that he needed to earn a lot of money—Max had more than enough, and Larry lived at home, sharing a bedroom with Teddy (which he went on doing until Teddy married, in 1938).

I know it is technically possible, the technology has been there for ages, and you could roll your own if you had a fast enough circuit on both ends, BUT there is no reason for the providers to offer this when everyone already seems happy with their compressed version. They assume noone can tell the difference (provided the service is cost effective), and they continue to conserve storage/bandwidth/cost.
demisemi ( ) Feb. 14, 2013 at 2:45pm
The "reviewer" at their website employs technical terms when describing the video/audio quality of bluray movies which are incomprehensible to many of the viewers and often times irrelevant to their real-time viewing experience, but nevertheless very judgmental and strong enough to have an "indocrination" effect.
The website gives a 2-star rating to the video qulity of the Ultimate Hunter Edition of the Predator. And many individual reviewers on that website follow the path and give very low scores for the movie on that particular bluray disc. But on Amazon, the reviews are much varied and the majority does not seem to be bothered by the Digital Noice Reduction done in that bluray.

*edit because I just saw your last couple posts: Predator Ultimate Hunter Ed is a visual travesty. If anything 2 stars is too kind. It's becoming pretty clear that you don't care about technical quality - which is totally fine by the way, I'm not judging. It means you know how to enjoy a movie and that's a good thing. But don't fault others for being more critical, and certainly don't fault a Blu-Ray enthusiast site for doing their job correctly.
hightop32 ( ) Feb. 14, 2013 at 3:44pm
personally, i want to know the specific cut, bitrate, AR and level of DNR compared to the original master, and when im looking for this info, i know where to look. and as you pointed out, this is information you most likely wont find in an amazon review.
killdiablo ( ) Feb. 14, 2013 at 4:09pm
demisemi ( ) Feb. 14, 2013 at 7:39pm
Yeah, you're way above the average people. So don't speak for the public. That's the president's job.
demisemi ( ) Feb. 14, 2013 at 8:51pm
Maybe I shouldn't lash out like that. But I had two bad experiences with bluray.com. One is the Predator, and the other is Robocop the 2007 bluray version. The actual bluray video quality is decent enough and a great improvement from what I watched on Netflix on my bluray player.
People might not enjoy their movie as much as they would if they had gone to that website and check out the one-sided not so comprehensible but filled with sensible negtivity (if it is a negative review) review. My viewing experience would definitely be spoiled if I hadn't been skeptical.
After all, it's just my opinion. I should zip my mouth now.

Improved Liquidity Primary Driver Of National Research Corporation Recapitalization Plan
Lincoln, Nebraska, March 25, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- National Research Corporation (NASDAQ:NRCI) announced today that its Board of Directors unanimously approved a recapitalization plan designed to increase liquidity, expand its shareholder base, increase shareholder and Company flexibility, and enhance shareholder value.
Under the terms of the recapitalization plan, the Company would (i) establish two classes of common stock, consisting of a new class of common stock with 1/100 th of a vote per share and with the right to receive 1/6 th of the dividend, if any, paid on the other class of common stock, designated as Class A Common Stock, and a new class of common stock with one vote per share and with the right to receive six times the dividend, if any, paid on the other class of common stock, designated as Class B Common Stock; (ii) issue a dividend of three (3) shares of Class A Common Stock for each share of the Company's existing common stock (the "Existing Stock") as of a record date to be determined by the Company's Board of Directors; and (iii) following the record date of the aforementioned dividend distribution, reclassify each share of Existing Stock as one-half (1/2) of one share of Class B Common Stock.
In connection with the approval of the recapitalization plan, the Company's Board of Directors has decided to suspend the payment of cash dividends on the Existing Stock (and, consequently, the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock after the recapitalization is effective) to try to insulate the volume and trading price of the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock from significant fluctuations resulting from the recapitalization until a sufficient and independent trading market is established for each of the Class A and Class B Common Stock. The payment and amount of future dividends, if any, is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on the Company's future earnings, financial condition, general business conditions, alternative uses of the Company's earnings and other factors.

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — Erin Hamlin spent more than half her life waiting to become an Olympic medalist.
Hey, what's one more day?
Hamlin finished third in the Olympic women's luge competition on Tuesday night — but went home with only a bunch of flowers. The bronze medal wasn't being awarded until Wednesday, in a separate ceremony down in Sochi, roughly an hour's drive from the Sanki Sliding Center where she competed.
"It's still pretty cool," said Hamlin, from Remsen, N.Y. "The excitement gets drawn out, so it's still awesome."
And given how impressed Hamlin is with the design of the medals, just getting one was enough to make her happy. Another 24 hours or so of waiting wasn't going to bother her whatsoever.
"They're awesome," Hamlin said. "I remember seeing them for the first time and I was like, 'Oh my gosh. If there's ever a time to win a medal, it's this time, because those are the coolest medals ever.'"

The new head of the Transportation Security Administration told employees that his principal goals are to improve counterterrorism efforts, support TSA employees and strengthen relationships with stakeholders and the traveling public.
John S. Pistole, who was sworn in as TSA director on July 1, also announced the launch of a "Talk to TSA" online forum on the TSA Web site.
"Achieving these priorities will take time, energy and the hard work of the men and women at TSA but I believe they are essential to strengthening the ability of the agency to ensure the safety of the traveling public," Pistole told employees at Logan International Airport.
Logan Airport is the first of a number of facilities Pistole plans to visit, TSA said.

Climate change is remarkably simple, so simple in fact a child could easily understand it and then explain it to their denier fathers and grandfathers. Of course, it is kind of hard to hear when your head is rammed down a hole.
Or you could watch the YouTube video below from David Roberts. This is how SkepticalScience introduced the piece last July:
"A few months ago we posted a TED talk by James Hansen. Recently Grist's Dave Roberts gave a TED talk of his own, essentially discussing that if we don't do something to seriously reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the next 5-10 years, we're screwed.
"Roberts provides supporting documentation for his talk here. Note that we generally prefer to take a more positive approach, focusing on the fact that while we're running out of time, we're not out of time just yet, so we can still solve the climate problem.
"Nevertheless, Roberts gives a good, simple, straightforward presentation, the general gist of which is certainly accurate. Enjoy."
Also, Joe Romm points out that Roberts recently published "a must-read post, 'Two reasons climate change is not like other environmental problems.'"
Climate change is simple, so simple we are stupid to let it continue. Here's Dave.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] US/CHINA/CT-US presses China over activist site attacks
Released on 2012-10-17 17:00 GMT
|2011-06-15 01:23:00
AFP - The United States has raised its concerns with China about attacks
against a popular activist website that carried a petition to release
detained artist Ai Weiwei, according to a letter released Tuesday.
Change.org, a US-based online activist network, has faced disruptions
since April when museums posted a call for Ai's release that has since
been signed by more than 140,000 people.
Website organizers said the attacks came from China.
In a letter to a US lawmaker who voiced concern, the State Department said
the head of its democracy bureau, Dan Baer, "raised the case of Change.org
directly" with China's foreign ministry during talks on human rights in
late April.
"The Department will continue to press China on the importance of an open
and unrestricted Internet," said the letter to Representative Rosa
DeLauro, a Democrat from Connecticut, as released by Change.org
The petition, first launched by New York's Guggenheim Museum, urged the
release of Ai and voiced "disappointment in China's reluctance to live up
to its promise to nurture creativity and independent thought, the keys to
'soft power' and cultural influence."
Ai, a world-renowned artist, was taken into custody on April 3 as he tried
to fly from Beijing to Hong Kong. Authorities later said that his firm had
been accused of tax evasion.
Ai has long been outspoken in his social commentary and had been
begrudgingly tolerated. But in recent months, China has launched a major
crackdown on dissent, apparently amid concern over pro-democracy protests
in the Middle East.
Ai is known for his "Sunflower Seeds," an exhibition of millions of
seemingly identical but in fact unique mini-sculptures, at the Tate
Modern. He also helped design the Bird's Nest stadium for the Beijing
In one of his more poignant works, a 2009 exhibition in Munich featured
thousands of backpacks, a reminder of the children killed in the Sichuan
earthquake due to what many parents said was shoddy construction.

Donald Sterling Reportedly Refuses to Pay NBA Fine, Threatens Lawsuit
Banned Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling is refusing to pay the $2.5 million fine levied by the NBA over his recent racist comments, Sports Illustrated reported.
Donald Sterling Reportedly Refuses to Pay NBA Fine, Threatens Lawsuit
Stream WZTV Fox 17 Newscasts LIVE starting with Fox 17 This Morning at 5am and News at 9pm.
Banned Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling is refusing to pay the $2.5 million fine levied by the NBA over his recent racist comments, Sports Illustrated reported.
Maxwell Blecher, an attorney for Sterling, wrote in a letter to NBA executive vice president and general counsel Rick Buchanan that Sterling has done nothing wrong and that "no punishment is warranted," according to the report.
"We reject your demand for payment," Blecher writes in the letter, which reportedly discusses two possible legal defenses for Sterling as he moves toward litigation.
The NBA's constitution, which Sterling signed as controlling owner of the Clippers, gives its Board of Governors broad latitude in league decisions including who owns the teams.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is pushing for a swift vote against Sterling, which requires a minimum of three-fourths of the other 29 controlling owners to agree.
Silver also has imposed a lifetime ban on Sterling in addition to the fine.
In the letter, Blecher argues that Sterling's "due process rights" were violated when he was permanently banned after a mere four-day investigation. Blecher also says Sterling has not violated any article of the NBA constitution, Sports Illustrated reported.
Sterling has repeatedly said he does not want to sell the Clippers. In his recent interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper, he cast doubt on going to court if the NBA governors ultimately do vote to force him out.
"People want me to hire a wall of lawyers and them to have to hire a wall of lawyers and go to war," Sterling said on CNN. "I don't think that's the answer."
Sterling's longtime attorney, Robert Platt, declined to comment when contacted Wednesday.
Shelly Sterling's attorney, Pierce O'Donnell, did not respond to email requests for comment from The Associated Press. But he has previously said she wants to remain a passive owner of the Clippers even if her husband is no longer involved.
For now, the NBA has installed former Time Warner and Citigroup chairman Dick Parsons to oversee the team's business operations. Parsons said this week that a prolonged legal battle "is in no one's interest."
"I would hope we could avoid that," he said.
If he is forced out, Sterling still stands to reap a huge financial windfall in a Clippers sale. He bought the team for $12.5 million in 1981, and Forbes magazine recently placed its 2014 value at $575 million, or No. 13 in the NBA. Of course, there would also be a sizable capital gains tax bill for that.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

text: Williams: We had both cars on similar configurations targeting the same optimum operating window 17 November, 2013 Team and drivers report from qualifying for the United States Grand Prix, at Circuit of the Americas, in Austin, Texas. Qualifying Notes Valtteri Bottas qualified ninth with Pastor Maldonado 18th for tomorrow's United States Grand Prix. Pastor's qualifying was hindered by traffic in Q1 which meant that he just missed out on Q2. Valtteri was able to put a great lap together in every session to progress through to Q3. The team will be aiming to maximise the opportunity for points in the race tomorrow. Xevi Pujolar, Chief Race Engineer: The Circuit of the Americas is quite unique in terms of track layout, roughness and temperature which, mixed with the fact that the tyre compound choices are on the conservative side, makes getting the tyres working well the key to a good qualifying lap. We had better performance in FP1 and were working to bring this back in practice this morning. We had both cars on similar configurations targeting the same optimum operating window for the tyres, and knew [that] if we could achieve this then there was potential for a good result with both cars. Valtteri got the tyres working well and put in a consistently strong performance throughout qualifying to get into Q3. We didn't quite get the tyre performance with Pastor, but despite starting 18th he always makes a good start and fights through on the opening laps, so we still expect him to move forward in the race. Overall, it was great to have Valtteri qualify in ninth and we now aim to convert a good result today into points tomorrow. Valtteri Bottas: I really enjoyed today and I am happy with that performance. To be honest I expected a bit more in Q3 because we were competitive in Q1 and Q2. I'm very happy for the team; they've all done a great job and improved the car a lot from practice to Qualifying. We are in a good position for tomorrow and we need to try and gain from this and score some points in the race. Pastor Maldonado: We have struggled this weekend and today showed that; the car doesn't feel right in terms of the tyres pressures or temperatures so we need to take a closer look at that. We got held up by a bit of traffic, which meant that we weren't able to get into Q2. We will try to do our best in the race tomorrow from the position we're in. Subbed by AJN.

Several Nuveen Closed-End Funds Announce New VRDP Actions
Nuveen Investments, a leading global provider of investment services to institutions, as well as individual investors, today announced that four municipal closed-end funds have undertaken a number of Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares (VRDP) transactions in privately negotiated exchanges and private placements with qualified institutional buyers, as defined pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.
The first of these transactions is the issuance of additional VRDP shares by the Nuveen Quality Income Municipal Fund, Inc. (NYSE: NQU). The fund has sold an additional 400 Series 1 VRDP Shares totaling $40,000,000. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. remains the Liquidity Provider for the fund's VRDP Shares, including the additional VDRP Shares.
The next series of transactions is the exchange of Series 1 VRDP shares for new Series 2 VRDP shares by Nuveen Pennsylvania Investment Quality Municipal Fund (NYSE: NQP), Nuveen Pennsylvania Premium Income Municipal Fund 2 (NYSE: NPY), and Nuveen California Investment Quality Municipal Fund, Inc. (NYSE: NQC). The term redemption date for these new shares is December 1, 2042. Two of these funds, NPY and NQC, have also issued additional Series 2 shares totaling $5 million and $10 million, respectively. The proceeds from the additional shares will be used to take advantage of opportunities in the current municipal market. Royal Bank of Canada is the new Liquidity Provider for each fund.
Nuveen Investments provides high-quality investment services designed to help secure the long-term goals of institutional and individual investors as well as the consultants and financial advisors who serve them. Nuveen Investments markets a wide range of specialized investment solutions which provide investors access to capabilities of its high-quality boutique investment affiliates—Nuveen Asset Management, Symphony Asset Management, NWQ Investment Management Company, Santa Barbara Asset Management, Tradewinds Global Investors, Winslow Capital Management, and Gresham Investment Management. In total, Nuveen Investments managed approximately $220 billion as of September 30, 2012. For more information, please visit the Nuveen Investments website at www.nuveen.com.VRDP shares include a liquidity feature that allows holders of VRDP to have their shares purchased by a liquidity provider in the event that sell orders have not been matched with purchase orders and successfully settled in a remarketing. These VRDP shares qualify as equity for income tax purposes. This affords VRDP share dividends the same tax treatment as the income on the fund's underlying investments, notwithstanding VRDP terms that require the fund to redeem VRDP shares still owned by the liquidity provider if there are six months of continuous, unsuccessful remarketing.

BOSTON (AP) — Boston police say a homeless man who found a backpack containing tens of thousands of dollars in cash and traveler's checks turned it over to authorities.
The man, whose name was not made public, found the backpack at the South Bay Mall in the city's Dorchester (dawr-CHES'-ter) neighborhood at about 5:30 p.m. Saturday.
He flagged down patrolling officers and handed it over.
The backpack contained $2,400 in U.S. currency, almost $40,000 in traveler's checks, Chinese passports and other personal papers.
Meanwhile, the man who lost the backpack informed workers at the Best Buy store at the mall.
The man was taken to the police station, where he was confirmed as the rightful owner.
