Fridays are normally the best day of the week, except when they fall on the 13th day of the month. If you're not fortunate enough to stay in bed all day and wait out the storm you need to take precautionary measures to keep your good luck!
1. Stepping on a crack
"Step on a crack, and break your mother's back." Injure your mother, or look like an idiot dancing up the sidewalk. The future is in your hands.
2. Breaking a mirror
They say that when you break a mirror you're in for seven years of bad luck. Your first hardship will be a dangerous mess.
3. Walking under a ladder
Walking under a ladder is said to be bad luck. Even if it's not, it seems like an unnecessary risk when heavy paint buckets and tool boxes are involved.

4. A bird flies in through the window
A wild bird flying into your house is said to bring bad luck, and even death. Also, probably bird poop and broken vases.
5. Spilling salt
Spilling salt is bad luck, and messy. Get back on track by throwing a pinch over your left shoulder. Only throw a pinch, not the salt shaker.
6. Getting up on the "wrong" side of the bed
It's bad luck to get up on side of the bed that you didn't climb into, but if someone asks you about the "wrong side of the bed" they're probably calling you a grump.
7. Rocking an empty rocking chair
Rocking an empty rocking chair is said to bring death to the family. Plus, when you walk away it just looks creepy.
8. Giving a wallet or purse without money in it
Don't blame your money problems on the economy if you're using a wallet that was given to you empty! An empty purse or wallet is said to bring financial bad luck when given as a gift. Don't get cheap, throw a dollar in there.
9. Playing with crutches
Sure, playing with crutches may look fun, but put them back or you'll be next! Also, your friend needs them to walk.
10. Putting shoes on a table
Putting a pair of shoes on a table is said to be bad luck. It's also gross. You eat there.
11. Open umbrellas in the house
Shake the rain off your umbrella before you come inside, but don't forget to close it too! Opening umbrellas indoors is bad luck!
12. Never bring an old broom into a new house
Your new place may need some spring cleaning, but you should invest in a new broom before you get to work! Using an old broom will "sweep" all of the old home's bad luck into your new place.
13. "Lucky" number 13
There are many reasons the number 13 has an unlucky reputation, just ask anyone who suffers from Triskaidekaphobia (that's the fear of the number 13. It's a real thing, we swear.)

MORRISTOWN - Buckeye Local and Edison split their two regular season matchups.
Thus, it was only fitting for their Division II sectional opener to head to overtime.
The Panthers, who led by 14 at a juncture in the second quarter and 13 early in the third quarter, found away to escape and earn a return trip to Union Local High School on Thursday after posting a 46-44 victory.
"We talked to the girls after an overtime loss to Meadowbrook (last week) about how to close out games," Buckeye Local coach Willy Luther said. "We almost gave one away, but I think they drew back on that experience and every time things got tough, it seemed like we had an answer."
The Panthers (6-17) will continue sectional tourney play against Minerva at 8 p.m. on Thursday. Tri-Valley and Indian Creek will clash in the opener that evening. Edison, meanwhile, finishes its campaign with a 4-19 record.
"I think this is the first time in 13 years we've won a sectional game, so this was one of our big goals," Luther said. "Our season didn't go how we wanted, obviously. I kept telling the girls that they're a lot better than their record, but they had to go out and keep believing. We'll go to work and prepare for Minerva. I know they've got some quick guards. We have to defend, take care of the basketball and convert in transition."
After building the 13-point lead in the third quarter on buckets by Amy Balk and Kayla Fillipovich, it looked as if the Panthers' attention had already shifted to Minerva.
Behind solid shooting from Molly McCoy and Katelyn Pollock, Edison clawed its way back into the game with a 12-0 run, but Buckeye Local still held a 29-25 edge after three quarters.
The Wildcats continued to battle and knotted the game at 31-31 with 4:55 to go in regulation and took the lead with 3:41 showing. A driving bucket by McCoy, who fouled out with two minutes to go, made the score 36-33, but freshman Becky Zeroski drilled the Panthers' only 3-pointer of the game to tie the game again.
"Scratch and claw is a good way of putting this game and this team," first-year Edison coach Jason Ensinger said.
"These girls played hard all season, worked hard every day, but we just couldn't get out of the hole we dug for ourselves early."
Junior Abby Fonow put Edison back on top by two.
However, Fillipovich, who led all scorers in the game with 19 points, drained two at the line with 33 seconds to go.
"When the game went to overtime, I told the girls to relax and believe," Luther said.
"We just had to play and continue to focus. I thought we did a nice job in overtime even when we got down. They just battled to the end."
In overtime, Zeroski hit two big jumpers from near the top of the key, including one that put Buckeye up two at 43-41. Then, after an Edison foul shot and a Kayli Stewart goal put the Lady Wildcats back on top by one at 44-43, Zeroski drained another deep two, putting her team on top for good.
Buckeye had an empty trip, but sophomore Lauren Swiger forced a five-second call and Zeroski drilled another, giving Buckeye the lead for good.
Despite struggling mightily from the line, Zeroski got one of two to go, but Edison still had hope.
However, it missed an inside shot and the buzzer sounded before they could get off a putback.
"We were trying to bleed some clock off there and got called for a five-second call," Ensinger said. "We just didn't execute at times. It stinks to scratch and claw and then come up short, but we return everyone except Molly next year."
Fillipovich, who also ripped down 12 rebounds, was complemented in the scoring column by Zeroski, who had nine.
McCoy went for 14 to lead the Wildcats, while Pollock and Fonow each had 10.

Testimony :: Bishop Malkhaz Songulashvili
Bishop - Baptist Union, Georgia
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
First of all let me greet all of you on behalf of the Evangelical Baptist Church of Georgia which is the largest Protestant Church in this Orthodox majority country. Our church was established in Georgia 135 years ago and represents today an indigenous community of 18 000 people. Local congregations and smaller groups of the denomination are spread all over the country. By culture the Georgian Baptists remain in many ways Orthodox but by the principles of faith they are Protestants. The Church has always been active in two areas of Christian ministry. On one hand they are committed to evangelism and education, and on the other hand they are deeply involved in social activities for the benefit of the poor and destitute, internally displaced people, refugees, handicapped children, single mothers and street Children.
For 135 years the church suffered a lot of persecution, discrimination, physical and moral harassment. 75 years of communist regime were particularly difficult. In the beginning of the Soviet regime most of the male leadership of the Church became martyrs or were exiled to the Siberia. Due to the faithfulness of the women the church continued to exist and grow. By the end of the Soviet period the Church gained considerable strength.
During the communist time the official dialogue between the Orthodox and Evangelical Baptist churches was initiated. Friendship between the two churches developed to such an extent that there were regular pulpit exchanges between them. Baptist leaders regularly preached at the main Orthodox cathedral in Tbilisi. A Baptist choir regularly sung during the Sunday liturgies. All of this now seems absolutely incredible. With the rise of nationalism a lot of things have changed.
It is already 10 years since Georgia has reemerged as an independent nation. We gained independence but we still have not reached freedom. Old values have gone. New values have not come yet. There will be a very long way to go before we fully appreciate the values of democracy and freedom, basic human rights and a general sense for dignity of the human being.
The question of religious liberty has become a matter of political manipulations. It seems that most of the political parties have come to realize that a pro-Orthodox policy can be very beneficial in their pre-election campaign. On the other hand ultra fundamentalist Orthodox groups are taking their opportunity to increase their war against religious minorities.
I have been invited here to bring some clarity about religious violence in Georgia, to answer some questions. But I am afraid I have more questions than answers myself.
I do not understand why the fierce religious intolerance crept into the country of Georgia where religious intolerance was not a big issue in the past. (In fact religious tolerance used to be a matter of national pride. Here I can remember a song which used to be very popular during the eighties: "It does not matter where you pray, just be a gentleman").
I do not understand why the Orthodox church and Orthodox believers do not clearly and boldly condemn when sacrilegious actions are carried out in the name of Orthodoxy, when the heads of non Orthodox people are shaved in the name of the Most Holy Trinity, in order to humiliate them, when Bibles and other Christian books are burnt publicly with wild joy, when Catholic, Evangelical Baptist and non Christian clergy are attacked physically and are publicly maltreated.
I do not understand why the police are almost completely inactive when people are beaten up for their religious belief, when people's properties are violated and belongings stolen just because they belong to a non Orthodox church or religious group. Very often they say since there is no law about religion we cannot do anything about religious violence. What a silly explanation. It is not an absence of religious legislation which causes religious violence and persecution but rather absence of culture, justice and general law.
I do not understand why authorities do nothing to put an end to the violence.
The Georgian constitution does make provision for freedom of conscience and belief.
Why is the constitution violated by the authorities? Why are the presidential decrees not implemented? Why do not authorities realize that sidelining of religious minorities is not contributing to the integrity and unity of the country which is not homogeneous neither ethnically nor religiously?
I do not understand why the Georgian mass media is so reluctant to contribute to the peace and harmony in the society. Why are the criminals, who are spreading moral terror in the society, given so much time on TV to propagate their obscurant ideas and to stir people up against religious minorities? The same mass media is very reluctant to pay any attention to what is happening in different religious communities. Why do the positive things in the life of religious minorities have no value for them to be reported? For instance, just recently on September 11th, we celebrated a tremendous memorial service at Central Baptist Church to mark the first anniversary of the world's most dreadful tragedy. The service was carried out with the participation of Christians (Orthodox, Catholic, Lutheran, Armenian Apostolic, Baptist), Muslim and Jewish leaders. That was the first occasion when all the religions prayed for peace and reconciliation. Most of Georgian TV channels rigidly refused to film the service. But the same day they gave enough time to speak and show how the day was observed in the rest of the world. This is just a very small example.
Obviously there are far more things that I do not understand but there is one thing that I understand very well: it should not continue this way.
We have to deal very strictly with every single expression of terrorism everywhere and by all means. It is clear that religious or moral terrorism is one of the ugliest faces of world terrorism. Unfortunately it is not endemic for Georgia. It is everywhere, in every religion, in every culture. I as a Baptist clergyman declare that religious persecution and discrimination which is carried out in the name of Orthodoxy has nothing to do with the true Orthodoxy which is a part of the worldwide body of Christ. My experience with street children tells me that it is easier to take children from the street but it is much more difficult to take the street attitudes out of children. Similarly our society has come out of communist regime but the old mentality has not come out of our minds.
We as Georgian Christians (here I represent a group of Churches of which the Evangelical Baptist Church of Georgia is a part along with Lutheran, Armenian Apostolic and Roman Catholic churches) are determined to fight back the religious and moral terror in Georgia. Obviously our means are limited but our desire to see Georgia prospering both spiritually and materially will help us to overcome all those difficulties we face now.
There are four targets of strategic significance which could be efficient in fighting against religious terrorism:
1. Family. Understandably it is the hardest job to influence the post communist family to such an extent that it nurtures its members with the ideas of tolerance, human rights and democracy. Nevertheless if we are serious to develop an open society we should target the family. Obviously Mass media, school and religion should be considered as means to reach the above-mentioned results in the family. It will certainly take some time before first positive fruits appear.
2. Mass media. The fastest way of changing the public opinion in relation with religious tolerance could be reached through the mass media. But the mass media is not ready to play such a role. Simply because their representatives belong to the same society. Considerable work is to be done in order to involve them in the work against any expression of religious terrorism.
3. School and Teaching institution. Very often schools play a very negative role. Sometimes some schoolteachers think that the communist ideology has been replaced by Orthodoxy therefore the think they should impose the Orthodox faith and religious intolerance over the children. The Ministry of Education and schools should prepare curriculum in such a way that both pupils and teachers learn how to respect religious diversity in the society.
4. Religious congregations. We may call it the center of moral influence. Religious leaders should help their constituencies to realize that in this postmodern world it is impossible to live with medieval principles. It may seem easiest to prosecute the clergy that have been responsible for the violence in Georgia but this will not solve all the problems. They will be considered as martyrs for the Orthodox faith. If we seek for lasting results for religious tolerance we should work with theological students and their teachers. They should be exposed to reality. They have to be encouraged to learn modern languages since the only source of their theological education very often is the 19th century ultra fundamentalist literature in Russian.
Without diligent work on these four targets it will be very difficult to fight not only religious terrorism but terrorism in general. The process of globalization in this respect can be the ally for fighting terrorism globally. This is to say that the problem of religious persecution and terrorism in Georgia should be considered as a part of global issues. I believe that with common efforts of all people of good will we can handle the problem. Peaceful development of every nation of the world with due respect of religious liberty should not have any alternative. Let me conclude this speech with the words of an English mystic, Julian of Norwich: "All shall be well, all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well". Our optimism for the better future should not be overshadowed by the turmoil of the present time.

Driver ticketed in I-75 semi crash that backed up traffic
Published: Tuesday, September 3, 2013 at 7:38 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 3, 2013 at 9:13 a.m.
OCALA - The driver of a tractor-trailer that crashed on Interstate 75 Tuesday morning was ticketed for the accident, which blocked traffic for about two hours.
Robert Miles, 61, of Latta, S.C., received a citation for careless driving, Florida Highway Patrol troopers said.
Miles was driving his semi northbound on I-75 in the right lane, approaching the U.S. 27 overpass. A 2013 Ford Escape driven by George Marvin Rollins, 51, of Winter Haven, was northbound in the left lane behind the semi. As the semi reached the top of the overpass, it began to fishtail and veered to the left. The Ford also veered left, trying to avoid a collision, but the left front of the semi hit the right side of the Ford. The vehicles collided in the median and the semi jackknifed, hit the guardrail and came to rest blocking the right and center lanes.
The accident occurred at 6:55 a.m.
Rollins, who was wearing his seat belt, was not seriously injured. Miles was wearing his seat belt and was not injured, troopers said.

Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) represent different degrees of a severe, acute mucocutaneous reaction resulting mainly from drug exposure (1). The difference between the two conditions is dependent on the total body surface area (TBSA) involvement and the nature of the skin lesions (TBSA 0-10%=SJS, 10%-30%=SJS/TEN and >30%=TEN) indicated (2). TEN should be considered a severe life threatening adverse drug reaction. TEN or SJS is diagnosed objectively according to the consensus-derived definition (2) (Table 1).
Table 1: Classification of TEN and SJS (2)
|Epidermal detachment
(% body surface area)
|Skin lesions
|TEN without spots
|TEN with spots and/or blisters
Both SJS and TEN exhibit rapid expanding macular rashes, often times with atypical target lesions at multiple mucosal sites (1). This condition continues to worsen in TEN patients, with the rash developing to widespread erythema, necrosis and epidermal detachment and occasionally even internal organ involvement (1).
TEN affects approximately 0.4 to 1.2 per million people every year (3-6) SJS is seen more frequently, affecting one to six cases per million people every year (4, 6). Females are two times more likely to be affected by TEN and SJS than men (4,7).
Under-reporting of TEN/SJS is an important issue. In Canada, between January 1995 to December 2000, 25 cases of TEN were reported to the Candian Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Program (CADRMP) (8). This represents about 10% of all TEN cases reported by 12 burn units and 4% of all TEN cases reported to the Canadian Institute for Health Information during the same timeframe (8).

The state is looking to find hundreds of missing foster children.
The director of the Michigan Family Independence Agency says he'll announce a plan of action within days. The agency is responding to concerns that it doesn't know the whereabouts of up to 300 foster children.
Gov. John Engler has taken a personal interest in the issue.
Engler's spokesman says the governor told the agency that missing children should be its number one priority.
One idea is to put names and pictures of the children on the state's Web site.
The agency's director, Doug Howard, says the agency hasn't lost children. He says nine of 10 of the missing youths are older than 14. He says many ran away from foster care.
Engler wants more efforts to determine exactly how many children are missing. He also wants ways to better coordinate how missing children cases are handled.

Sir Paul McCartney was the toast of the 2014 Ultimate Classic Rock Awards on Tuesday after picking up Artist of the Year and Album of the Year honors.
The former Beatles star picked up 64 per cent of the online vote to triumph in the Artist of the Year category, ahead of David Bowie and the reunited Black Sabbath.
He also beat Black Sabbath into second place in the Album of the Year vote – his 2013 album New edged out the heavy rockers' comeback release "13."
McCartney also finished in second place behind Canadian rockers Rush in both the Best Tour and Best Song category – his "Queenie Eye" single missed out on the top spot by less than one per cent of the vote. Rush's "The Garden" landed on top.
"Cut Me Some Slack," McCartney's collaboration with the surviving members of Nirvana finished in third place.
Rush also netted the Best Live Album of 2013 prize – their Clockwork Angels Tour release beat out the Beatles' "On Air: Live at the BBC Vol. 2."
Other winners included Aerosmith (DVD of the Year for "Rock for the Rising Sun") and Fleetwood Mac (Best Reissue or Archival Release for "Rumours" and Best Rock Music Commercial for their 2013 Budweiser ad).

GREENSBORO, N.C. - North Carolina placed four student-athletes on the 2012 All-Atlantic Coast Conference teams Monday as voted on by the league coaches. Pitchers Kent Emanuel and Michael Morin earned first team honors, while catcher Jacob Stallings and designated hitter Brian Holberton were named to the second team.
Junior closer Michael Morin and sophomore starter Kent Emanuel both earned All-ACC First Team honors. The pair of All-ACC First Team pitchers marks the first time in school history that two Carolina pitchers were named to the first team.
Morin has been one of the top closers in the country this season posting a 5-3 record with a 0.91 ERA in 49.1 innings pitched on the year. The junior right-hander has closed the door on a league-high 17 saves, which ranks fourth in the country. Morin becomes the first Tar Heel closer since Andrew Carignan in 2007 to earn All-ACC First Team honors.
Emanuel has turned in a stellar sophomore campaign with an 8-3 record and the second-lowest ERA in the conference at 1.80. The Woodstock, Ga., native opened the year with five straight wins and closed it with three more victories. Emanuel has produced a quality start in 13 of his 14 starts this season and becomes the first Tar Heel sophomore pitcher since Alex White to earn All-ACC First Team honors.
Carolina also had a pair of position players earn All-ACC Second Team honors with senior catcher Jacob Stallings and sophomore DH Brian Holberton being named to the squad.
Stallings becomes the first Tar Heel catcher to earn an All-ACC mention since Tim Federowicz was named to the second team in 2008. The senior ranks third on the team with a .297 average for the year and owns the third-most doubles in the conference with 21. Stallings has been an anchor for the top pitching staff in the ACC this season and has held opponents to the fewest stolen base attempts in the country.
Holberton owns a .301 average on the year with 19 runs scored and 14 RBIs but has done most of his damage in ACC play with a .344 average against conference opponents. The Charlotte, N.C., native paced the Tar Heels at the plate against ACC opponents with 11 runs scored and 10 RBIs.

Equal parts day and night
By Vernon WhetstoneAmateur Astronomer
Have you seen comet PanSTARRS? As of this writing I haven't. You still have some time to catch a glimpse in the western sky about a half-hour to 45-minutes after local sunset. Which, now that Daylight Savings Time has kicked in, will be at about 7:05 p.m MDT. On Wednesday, March 13, if the sky is clear to the west, it will be directly below the crescent moon in the west. Spring is about to be sprung. One week from today the Sun will cross the celestial equator heading north on what is called the vernal equinox. That will happen at 5:02 a.m. MDT. Equinox is a word from Latin meaning equal night, and on that occasion the expanse of day and night will be equal. Well, that would be true if you were living on the equator. However, since we in this area are about 40 degrees north of the equator, that will not be the case. In fact, the date when our day and night will be equal is Sunday, March 17. That is when day and night will both be exactly 12 hours. There are other astronomical signs of spring. In the west the constellation Pegasus—an autumnal constellation—is setting. In the east Leo—a spring constellation—is rising. In the south, Orion, the King of Winter, is standing upright, and in the north the Big Dipper asterism is standing upright on its handle. In other happenings around the sky the moon and Jupiter will, once again, have a very close conjunction on March 17. Look almost directly overhead facing west about an hour after local sunset. The bright star on the other side of the moon is Aldebaran, the Eye of the Bull in Taurus. There will only be two more close groupings of the moon and Jupiter before the giant planet goes behind the Sun for the next several months. They will be on April 14, and May 12, so get your sightings in now. Another spring event can be a difficult one to find. It is called the Zodiacal Light. In the spring it can be seen after sunset, in the fall it will be seen before sunrise. It is basically sunlight reflected off of inter-planetary dust particles in the inner solar system. This dust is accumulated along the ecliptic (the path the Sun follows against the background stars). In spring and autumn it is at a very high angle to the horizon so is much more pronounced than at other times of the year. First you will need a very dark-sky place away from all city lighting. It will be in appearance very similar to what the Milky Way looks like on a dark summer night, a very hazy looking light area right over where the Sun went below the horizon. It will extend up into the sky in a cone of light, possibly as far as directly overhead. Start looking at sunset and then keep watching. The sky will look like the Sun is still setting. When this phenomenon occurs in the morning it has been called a "false dawn" because it will look like the Sun is rising a long time before it actually will. SKY WATCH: First quarter moon, March 19; vernal equinox, March 20. Saturday, March 16, a slender five-day old crescent moon will be very close to the Pleiades star cluster, look almost overhead facing west.

Kansas State

Our Cyclones now have the reputation of being a spoiler/winning big games we shouldn't due to performances from the past few years. My question is this: would you rather beat an undefeated KSU this weekend or beat an undefeated WVU in the last home game of the year? Don't say "both" because that ruins everything.
I think I would rather beat KSU just because their fans are almost intolerable and I have grown to hate almost everything purple kansas. We have had some tough losses against them as well that factor in to my decision. However, I am pretty sure that Bill Snyder will not let himself die until his team plays in another BCS bowl so it may be better to let him have this one so the world can watch him dissolve into ashes after their BCS game.
On the other hand, WVU would be a bigger win nationally because of their unreal offensive output thus far. They are also the "new guy" in conference and I don't like the thought of them rolling through the Big XII in their first year. In a defeat, Geno Smith's Heisman chances take a hit and that can be added to our new spoiler reputation.
Any other thoughts?
KSU. We owe them.
WVU is a noob and we dont have any history with them yet.
KSU because of how close its been the last few years.
Also KSU would be another win over a top 5 team in less than 12 months, while WVU may or may not be still ranked that high in several weeks.

KSU - we owe them and it would be a huge bump to confidence and visibility. Should help with all the remaining games and ongoing recruiting.
KSU, cuz they're next.

This. We owe KSU bad. And so far, some of the WVU posters seem pretty cool. Purple Kansas is filled with dbags.
K-State. We owe them.

KSU...because they are overdue!!
Keep doing what you're doing to build Strong Towns.
I guess KSU because we're building up this Farmageddon rivalry which I love, but I also want a rivalry with WVU, like bad. I have friends that go there, we are very similar schools and a win against them their first year in the conference with possible NCG hopes on the line would build that possibility up.
KSU, I am sick of losing to them and old man Snyder.
Normally I would vote KSU, but I went with WVU since it's the only game I'm going to this year.
Purple Kansas, then Oklahoma, then WVU
K state cant stand losing to snyder

These lights look great on the car and were a great price! They are brighter than the stock headlights but not as bright as I would have hoped. The only big down side is that the lights would have to be taken off the car to change headlight bulbs and the entire fron fascia has to be taken off to remove the lights. Other than that, great product for the price!

Since 1972, the Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine has continued to carry out its mission - to improve the oral health of southern Illinois and the region through education, patient care, scholarship and service. In 1975, the SIU School of Dental Medicine graduated its first class of outstanding dental practitioners. Including the Class of 2012, the SIU School of Dental Medicine has now trained over 1,600 dentists.
The Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine offers a nationally recognized dental education to nearly 200 students, or approximately 50 students in each class year. Historically, students from the SIU School of Dental Medicine achieve exceptionally high first time pass rates on the National Board Dental Exams, Parts I and II. Passing the exams is a requirement for licensure in the United States and is a strong indicator of student preparedness to practice dentistry. Students graduate with a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree as some of the best general practitioners of dentistry in the country.
The primary dental education and patient care facilities of the SIU School of Dental Medicine are located in the historic City of Alton. Most student clinical experience and dental patient care is provided in the Main Clinic in Alton. In addition, experience in diagnosis, treatment planning, surgery, and prosthodontic treatment for implant dentistry are offered in the Advanced Care Wing of the Main Clinic in Alton. Rotations to the community-based East St. Louis Dental Clinic offer students an extra opportunity to provide dental care to patients in an underserved area.
Forty years later, the Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine continues to foster a proud tradition of excellence in dental education. The school offers a premier dental education for the students it serves, and the students, faculty and staff provide quality dental care for the patients they treat.

We're looking for a way to create a "discussion forum" kind of setup in Zimbra, where people can post messages, read old messages, reply to messages, etc.
I've found a method that does just about everything we need ... with one very glaring issue. Here's the setup:
- zimbra account called "math-forum" created, logins disabled except via "View Mail" from admin console
- Inbox for math-forum is shared out to people with "viewer" role
- people can post messages via e-mail to "math-forum"
- people can view messages via the shared folder
- people can reply to these messages same as any other message
- only admin users can delete messages
The issue is that when people hit reply while reading messages in the shared folder, the message is addressed to the person who sent the message, and not to "math-forum". Which makes sense, as that is how e-mail works (you reply to the sender, not the recipient). And one can use reply-all to kind of work around that (except it puts the math-forum address into CC: instead of TO:, so people have to cut/paste, etc).
What I was wondering is if anyone knows of a way to:
- rewrite the "Reply-To" header on messages sent to "math-forum" to put the "math-forum" address in (making replies go back to the "math-forum", but keeping the From header intact), or
- force replies to messages in a shared folder to always go to a certain address, or
- create "discussion forums" within Zimbra
Unfortunately, the filters interface in Zimbra doesn't have a "re-write header X to Y" or "add header X" option. That would be the simplest solution, as we could then configure the account with a filter that added/re-wrote the Reply-To header to the address of the account.
The second option would probably take a lot of re-working the zimbra internals and be a pain to administer.
The third option would be best long-term solution, as it would require using up licenses for each forum.
If distribution lists were more like mailing lists where the Reply-To header was set to the address of the list, then this would be a moot point, and could be done via mailing lists and shared folders. [hint, hint]

Ned Yost media session: May 31
Heading into Tuesday's 7:10 contest against the Los Angeles Angels, Royals manager Ned Yost spoke about making a switch in the closer role, explaining why the move became necessary. Following yesterday's loss, Yost announced that rookie Aaron Crow will now handle those duties, taking over for Joakim Soria.
Yost said that Crow was the logical choice to take over because of his makeup and track record in his young career.
"He's got a lot of confidence in himself, he's got great stuff and he's had great success to this point," Yost said. "He's been the eighth inning guy and he moves up."
The skipper said Soria will be used in situations where he can throw multiple innings. Yost explained that he wants his former closer to have an opportunity to throw more pitches to regain his form on the mound.
As far as the rest of the bullpen, Yost emphasized that he would like to see the starting rotation work later into games to give the relievers some rest. He noted that there is a concerted effort being made not to overwork his young relief staff.

Her marriage to real estate agent Bob Pehlke has become tense and loveless - Laura even suspects that he's been cheating - and her previously close relationship with her 12 year-old son Dennis has become strained as he enters adolescence. With little to sustain her outside of these two problematic relationships, Laura finds herself slipping into the habits of her happier, party-girl days having just one more beer than she should (and then another one after that); lying about whose cigarette is sitting in ...

ATLANTA -- A Georgia lawmaker's bill to outlaw handheld cell phones behind the wheel is getting a cold shoulder at the State Capitol.
State Representative Rahn Mayo (D-Decatur) doesn't have any firm statistics yet, but believes his House Bill 31 could help prevent one of the leading distractions that cause accidents.
RELATED | Safe Driving resource Guide
MORE | The Great Hang Up
"It's certainly going to change the behavior of drivers and create a deterrent so that they're less likely, much less likely to use that cell phone in the car," Mayo claims.
Georgia's state legislature banned texting while driving for all motorists and all cell phone use behind the wheel for anyone under 18 in 2010.
But Rep. Mayo is fighting an uphill battle for any tougher laws in a conservative General Assembly.
"Talking on cell phones, they felt like that's a personal privilege to them and that we were going a little bit too far to ban that," State Senator Jack Murphy (R-Forsyth County) told 11 Alive on Monday.
As one of the main sponsors of the 2010 texting and driving ban, Murphy doesn't think tougher laws would be welcome.
He and other lawmakers believe ever evolving technology, like hands free devices readily available in newer cars, will soon turn it into a non-issue.
State Representative Allen Peake (R-Macon) also helped push through the 2010 texting ban.
He told 11 Alive there is "no appetite" for any stricter laws in the House right now.
The 11Alive Help Desk compiled a list, per the Governors Highway Safety Association, of other states that currently have a handheld cell phone ban while driving.
Drivers are only allowed to use hands-free communications devices in the following states and Washington, D.C.:
California, Connecticut, Delaware, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon and Washington.
Additionally, the following states and Washington, D.C., ban text messaging for all drivers:
Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

NOTE : Personal identification has been replaced by bogus values.
Hello Forum Members,
I am facing issue of SMTP authenticatiion failure while trying to relay mails thru my ISP smtp server (184.108.40.206)
My local zimbra server was communication very well with ISP server acting as smart host using SMTP authentication.
One fine day the relay started to fail. As per my knowledge, no change whatsoever was made to the Zimbra or to the CentOS.
To set the authentication relay, i had successfully followed the below article :
Outgoing SMTP Authentication - Zimbra :: Wiki
When the issue started, i reapplied all the commands mentioned in the above article, but was of no help.
User name and password used for SMTP authentication had been verified by logging into the mailbox using Webmail.
Any help in this regards would be highly appreciated.
The actual error message , while trying to send mails out is as below :
<email@example.com>: host 220.127.116.11 [184.108.40.206] said: 550
Authentication is required for relay (in reply to RCPT TO command)
Thanks in advance.

09/23/2007, San Francisco, Baja
This picture was taken by the friends I met after crossing the Sea of Cortez in a Catalina 25.
The wind picked way up as I approached the Baja coast and I had a bit of a rough time, but finally got anchored. This was the other sailboat sharing the anchorage and we later enjoyed some time and activity together.
09/23/2007, Sea of Cortez
Sailing across the Sea of Cortez in early summer, 2007. I've got my harness on and I'm listening to the cruising report (or perhaps a Mexican radio station) as I make my way across the Baja on my first cruising sailboat, the popular Catalina 25 swing keel. Good thing I happened on the swing keel because I grounded twice on my first sailing trip off the coast of Mexico and if it wasn't for the retractable swing keel, I'd have been done for.
09/23/2007, Northern Mexico, Sea of Cortez
These are the two older gentlemen I met before traversing Punta Baja. They gave me the magic beans, two five gallon containers of gasoline. That fuel took me across the Sea of Cortez and back. The guys caught a rather large fish shortly after this picture. They offered me their catch but I declined. It seems they parted company soon afterwards, but before that happened they managed to inspire me to follow my dreams. The one on the left told me straight out that he helped adventurers as a matter of principle. Two wise angels put in my path by the grace of g-d.
It was so calm, I just rowed the zodiac from the anchored sailboat to shore. It was paradise that evening. It was like there was this other magical world that exists there - and it exists even as I write this and even as you read this months or years later. All I have to do to get to this magical world is to get into a sailboat and venture across the sea or even just out of the marina and up or down the coast a few miles. The magical land awaits those who dare to discover and does not care who you are, how you get there, or the size of your boat.
09/23/2007, Sea of Cortez
You may have noticed I'm into sunsets.
Evening, first night of second Baja trip.
As you sailors out there know, wing on wing is hard to maintain but certainly appreciated.

So we are now a week clear of the start of the winter meetings. It is December 10. There are two months plus until pitchers and catchers report to spring training, which suggests a lot of time.
But each day that passes, more outfielders sign with other teams, and the Mets still don't employ one who should be starting a major league team. More catchers sign elsewhere, and the Mets have an incumbent with an OPS+ of 62 in 2012, and who has never hit lefties. More teams acquire starting pitching by other means, reducing the number of potential landing spots for R.A. Dickey.
The Mets have some time, in other words, but their leverage is reducing with each passing day, unless there are more teams eager to acquire a top-tier starting pitcher than there are such pitchers to fill them. But teams are moving based on their budgets and perceived availability of players. It's time now to act. It's not too late. But it will be soon.
As for why the Mets aren't simply signing Dickey to roughly the two-year, $26 million extension he is seeking, your guess is as good as mine. Because look around: he's a good bet to be value for the money if he gives back every bit of progress he made in 2012.
James Shields just netted the Tampa Bay Rays Wil Myers and three other prospects. Yes, Wade Davis went to Kansas City in the deal, too; if the Mets could have gotten that package for Dickey and their Davis equivalent, who is essentially Dillon Gee, they should have taken it and not looked back. It was easier for the Rays, who have actual pitching surplus, to do that than the Mets, who have just enough pitching, in all likelihood.
But take a look at Shields, a very good pitcher. His WAR in 2012 was 2.2, less valuable than Dickey's 2012 by far (5.6), but also less than his 2011 (3.1) or even his 2010 (3.4) when he spent the first six weeks of the season in Triple-A. Over the past three years, collectively, Shields has been worth 5.1 WAR, Dickey 12.1.
Got that? Dickey was worth more in 2012 than Shields from 2010-12. He was also worth more collectively in 2010-11 than Shields in 2010-12.
Now look at the package it took to acquire Shields. There's a lot of focus on what Dickey might get in return in a trade. But it is also worth considering how difficult it will be for the Mets to acquire a pitcher at Dickey's level moving forward. They certainly couldn't have acquired Shields. They didn't have the prospects.
Nor could they have afforded to sign Zach Greinke, a pitcher who put up a 106 ERA+ over the past three years, in fewer innings, at the same time Dickey put up a 129 ERA+. He's costing the Dodgers $24.5 million per season. Dickey would cost the Mets $31 million, total, over the next three seasons. Dickey could regress. So could Greinke. Is he five times likelier to be worth the money for six seasons than Dickey is for three? Or one, really, since they would be paying Dickey what aces are getting for one season, and getting three seasons of him?
It suggests that either this front office cannot properly judge what pitchers are worth on the open market right now, or that they don't have the go-ahead to sign Dickey due to other constraints. The former seems highly unlikely. The latter seems more inevitable with every passing day that sees the Mets fail to retain Dickey, a massive value on the field, ignoring completely the gift to fans he is off the field.

If it came down to money it would have been more prudent to trade Wright and retain Dickey as they would only be on the hook to R.A. for 2-3 years versus the 8 years of Wright including the overpaying part in the latter 4. Now I think they almost have to trade one of Dickey/Niese/Wheeler lest they field an inferior team this year to the one that was bottom feeding last year.
May I suggest that it is the Dodgers and Royals who are unable properly to assess the value of starting pitchers on the market?
Two considerations convince me that the Mets are right to wait until they can get a package of Olt and Martin from the Rangers, if that's what they're waiting for. First, for 2013 the relative WAR of Dickey and someone else isn't that important, because either way the Mets are not going to the postseason. Second, the Mets need help long-term with the offense—in particular three OF—more than with pitching. They are justifiably more interested in young OFs who can help for a long time beginning in 2014 than in the Cody Rosses of the world.
I'd be fine with re-signing Dickey, but I think the Mets are being rational right now.
Edgy DC
May I suggest that it is unconvincing to suggest that passing time diminishes R.A. Dickey's trade value.
For each team that signs or otherwise acquires a high-end pitcher, it can be argued, there are one or more disappointed teams that failed to land their target, and now place more of premium on Dickey.
For each pitcher that signs for a sum as high as Zach Greineke's, a new appreciation can be leaned of the bargain of R.A. Dickey for $5 million, if only for one year.
Howard Megdal
May I suggest that the Dodgers and Royals ARE the marketplace?
Also, EdgyDC, that is certainly possible, as I alluded to here- "...unless there are more teams eager to acquire a top-tier starting pitcher than there are such pitchers to fill them."
The point isn't that the market for Dickey is gone. It's that it won't be around for much longer at the current level, as teams move on if Mets do not act. Again, not too late. But the time to act is here.
I agree with Megdal. Alderson is seemingly playing the market like its July and teams are desperate for an ace for their playoff push. That's not the case. KC may have been desperate, although that is very questionable, but teams like Texas and LA and Boston know that aces are available all Winter and then again in July, and there's little reason to give in to Alderson's overpay me demands in the Winter. Teams have plenty of very good FAs to sign without giving up the farm and can still overpay for Dickey next July if they are really desperate, or not, and get him for nothing but $$ next December. Meanwhile, the Wilpons will eventually grow tired of the smaller and smaller crowds at their wonderful morgue, I mean ballpark, and will come to the realiztion that all Alkderson is offering is a lemon, and the vast majority of New Yorkers don't pay for a lemon.
This off season is more interesting in spades than the regular season, especially with the Mets. How sad is that?

Note: The following post was written by me as an individual, not as an employee of Leadership Institute.
"I don't always campaign, but when I do, I campaign for Romney-Ryan in Virginia."
I spent the past two Saturdays campaigning in Louduon County, VA with my dad and some friends who are also active in the conservative youth movement. I met some great patriots along the way and got to bond with my dad more. Additionally, I got to see Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli again (mark my words, he'll be the next governor of Virginia) and finally met conservative talk show host Mark Levin.
I have no regrets.
I feel embarrassed to admit this, but I never campaigned before until last Saturday. Admittedly, I primarily focus on social media, blogging, and youth activism – which are my niche areas. I'm not really into party politics after seeing the CAGOP's incompetence on display. I grew into a disillusioned Republican voter – not disillusioned in the sense that I'd vote Democrat (God forbid), but disillusioned in the sense that the party I registered for at 18 was not going in line with conservatism. Not everyone in the CAGOP should be blamed, but many people are at fault for letting the GOP slip in California. Step it up. Yes, I voted (R) in 2009 (referendum election), 2010 (midterms), now in 2012 – and I will continue to do so. Yet, I'm sick and tired of wishy-washy Republican candidates. And many fellow conservatives agree: we need CONSERVATIVE Republicans in office.
Now that I live in Virginia, which is a huge improvement from my home state Commie…er, California, I was proud to campaign for Republicans here. (Mind you, VAGOP is not perfect either – but at least it's active.) I hope I don't sound cliché, but it is imperative that every person vote, campaign, make calls – whatever – to make sure our side wins on Tuesday. Obama's failed policies have wrought doom and gloom on our country. Our economy is suffering. Our liberties are under attack. Our country is weak. Can we really afford four more years of this Marxist president? NO.
I implore every young person (and American) who wants a future in this country to vote Romney-Ryan. Your future and our livelihood depend on Obama's defeat.

Get clinical answers to frequently asked questions about anesthetic equipment.
What is best practice regarding the processing and storage of laryngoscope blades?
Laryngoscope blades should be processed according to manufacturers' instructions by either high-level disinfection or sterilization and protected from contamination until used. Processed blades should be stored in packages, appropriate for the processing method selected, to ensure the blade is protected from contamination. The storage of unpackaged laryngoscope blades is unreliable and often leads to questions regarding the safe use of the blades.

NM exonerates late-term abortion doctor
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. The New Mexico Medical Board on Thursday exonerated an Albuquerque doctor of gross negligence for her handling of a late-term abortion in a case that raised questions about whether politics trumped patient privacy.
Anti-abortion activists filed the complaint against Dr. Shelly Sella after hearing a 911 call from the Southwestern Women's Options Clinic about a woman who suffered a ruptured uterus during a May 2011 abortion there and was rushed to a hospital. Sella is a former colleague of slain Kansas abortion doctor George Tiller and one of the few doctors in the country who still openly performs third-term abortions.
The New York woman had sought the abortion after finding out the fetus had severe brain abnormalities. She was not part of the complaint.
Instead, the medical board opened the probe based on the phone call submitted by members of Operation Rescue. Nearly two years later, the intimate details of the 26-year-old mother's medical treatment, mental state, her religion, where she lived and family status became public record in transcripts from a three-day hearing where a board prosecutor accused Sella of gross negligence.
Sella's attorney, Molly Schmidt Nowara, commended the board for rebuffing a complaint from people whose "motivation is purely politics."
"I think this outcome shows that the process works," Nowara said. "This is great news for the women of New Mexico."
The complainant, Cheryl Sullenger of Wichita, Kan., issued a statement saying the "decision to protect abortionists and their below-standard procedures that endanger women and violate the law only serves to place more women at risk."
The board voted unanimously to clear Sella, with one of its eight members absent.
The case involved a woman who was referred to the clinic by her doctors in New York after the problems were found with her fetus. According to testimony in the case, the Albuquerque clinic is one of only four in the country that openly do late-term abortions, which have been banned in several states in recent years.
Supporters of abortion rights say the procedures are rare and used only in cases where the mother or child's health is at risk. Abortion opponents say late-term abortions are a danger to mothers and painful for the unborn baby. The procedure involves injecting the fetus with a drug to stop its heartbeat and administering drugs over the next three to four days to prepare the cervix and induce labor.
Sella gave the woman drugs commonly used in late-term abortions - drugs that, according to transcripts in the case, are known to potentially lead to contractions strong enough to cause uterine ruptures in women who previously have delivered a baby through cesarean section, as this woman had.
Records show the patient, who returned to New York three days after the rupture was repaired, was warned of the risks. But board prosecutor Daniel Rubin argued proper standards of care were not followed. At issue was whether abortion providers should be held to the same standards of care that apply to live births, such as whether such a risky procedure so late in a pregnancy should have been done in a hospital rather than a clinic.
The case also raised questions about patient privacy. The name of the woman who had the abortion has not been released, and the November hearing was closed to the public. But the transcripts are public record.
Marc Rotenberg, president and executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington, said the case "underscores the sensitivity of medical records and the need to keep them private."
He pointed to a 2004 decision by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that blocked an attempt by the Justice Department under Attorney General John Ashcroft to get redacted abortion records from a Chicago hospital for a trial on the constitutionality of late-term abortions. The opinion said opening even redacted medical records was a violation of privacy and that the details could lead to a patient being identified and harassed.

The agent is the dreaded Scott Borax and of course the team is the equally dreaded New York Yankees. All the talk and expectations have it at the usual ten year deal with $200 million as a starting point. Cano is 30 years old this year (31 when his next contract begins) and without debate is the premier second baseman in all of MLB.
For me I think with the Yankee wallet I offer 5 years and top dollar (whatever that might be) which takes the relationship to Cano's 36th birthday. This is reasonable but we know reason does not matter in MLB or New York.
It will be interesting to see if the Yankees have learned a lesson.

Reviewer: Barbara RockNose clip not for thin noses - I needed a nose clip and looked and looked for the kind of my youth, ya know, the flesh-colored one with an attached rubber strap? I couldnt find any cuz it was after the swim season. But I did find the Cressi one. I have to attached wax to the tips to keep it on my nose. My partner uses hers and her nose has more flesh than mine and hers works beautifully. Mine slips down and barely keeps the water out. I have to adjust it after every lap practically. I guess Ill keep looking for the one from yesteryear.
