I'm running Zimbra 8.0.2 FOSS and am experiencing a puzzling issue. Within the past week or so, two users have reported that their inbox has become empty, without any action of their own. The first incident was around 3pm on May 1st, and the second incident was this morning (May 8) around 8:30am.
Upon investigation, it looks like the contents of their inbox has been moved to the Trash. However, any folders they have nested within their inbox seem to be untouched.
With both users insisting they didn't (knowingly) do anything, how can I troubleshoot this to determine if it's a Zimbra problem or not? How can a user accidentally dump the contents of their inbox into the trash without knowing it?
Could another device (smartphone, tablet, or mail client) be a culprit?
Are there any logs that may show these events (when the messages were moved to the trash)?
Any help/insight would be MUCH appreciated!

Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Just as President Barack Obama is pushing new initiatives on gun control and immigration, the gloomy old problem of a sluggish economy is elbowing its way back into prominence.
Consumer confidence has fallen, the economy has contracted and large automatic spending cuts are threatening to hit the Pentagon and other programs with uncertain consequences.
These troubles arise as Obama's public approval has been improving and he has been starting to use his sway to promote the key features of his second-term agenda.
The economic shrinkage and the drop in consumer confidence are attributed to one-time events, while underlying economic factors still show encouraging signs.
But in politics, power resides in the moment. Any economic setback could distract Obama as he deals with immigration and gun violence.

ATLANTA -- No one is having a better time at the Halloween party than Henry Kelley.
He rubs his nose against his pumpkin, transferring the paint to himself.
In his Buzz Lightyear outfit, he is the cutest 4-year-old this side of the Mississippi.
It's a short walk from the party at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, back to his room.
"It's a Christmas tree!" he says, as the art therapist helps Henry cover his hands and feet with green paint, his fingers and toes becoming branches of the tree.
"Each holiday is extremely important to us in this situation," Henry's mom Jessica Kelley said.
Just last month Henry's parents took him to the hospital for trembling and fatigue. "And we hoped it was maybe a vitamin deficiency or maybe he was getting MS," Jessica said. "You never ever think it's your child that has a massive brain tumor. It's extremely rare. The spnet tumors, there's only six to 10 in the country a year that get diagnosed with this."
One terrifyingly short month after the diagnosis, there is nothing more to be done. Henry is going home for hospice care.
That's why the creation of a Christmas tree craft, imprinted with Henry's tiny feet and hands, is so important.
Jessica wants Henry to enjoy what will likely be his last holidays. Despite her broken heart, she and her husband are determined their little boy feel the joy of the season.
"Every holiday takes on a brand new meaning," she said. "I want to make every minute as fun, as special, as normal for a 4-year-old that it can be, yet as fun as it can be."
Henry is proving himself a teacher to his mother -- even now. "We were throwing pennies in the pond and I said 'You're supposed to make a wish before you throw the penny in the pond. What do you wish for? If you could do anything in the world right now, what would it be?' And he said, 'This.' And it was the most amazing lesson to me to just enjoy the moment with him, that there is joy and peace because right now, my little boy is throwing pennies in the pond and we can smile and we can cherish that to a new level."
There is no more searching for a cure -- no more bargaining for time. But there is a sense of hope that comes from faith.
"We believe that Jesus's heart is for us, and for Henry, and for healing and restoration," Jessica said. "We may not see that on this side of glory. We'll still be with him in a short amount of time, forever."

Julie Smith Riley, MS, RD
is a chronic, severe, disabling brain disorder. It interferes with the way a person interprets reality. People with schizophrenia may:
These and other symptoms make it difficult for people with schizophrenia to have positive relationships with others.
The cause of schizophrenia is unknown but it is associated with problems in brain structure and chemistry. There may be some genetic role.
Schizophrenia does not develop because of one factor. You may have a gene that increases your chance of schizophrenia, but you may not develop the disease based on your environment. Environment means any outside factor like stress or infection.
Factors that increase your risk of schizophrenia include:
Men typically develop symptoms in their late teens or early twenties. Schizophrenia in women tends to occur in their twenties or thirties. In rare cases, it is seen in childhood.
Symptoms often appear slowly. They may become more disturbing and bizarre over time or occur in a matter of weeks or months.
Symptoms may include:
Your doctor will ask you about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Schizophrenia is diagnosed by certain symptoms that:
The doctor will rule out other causes, such as drug use, physical illness, or other mental health conditions.
Schizophrenia is not curable, but it is highly treatable. Hospitalization may be required during acute episodes. Symptoms are usually controlled with antipsychotic medicine.
Talk to your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options may include one or more of the following:
Antipsychotic medicines work by blocking certain chemicals in the brain. This helps control the abnormal thinking that occurs in people with schizophrenia. Determining a medicine plan can be a complicated process. Often medicines or dosages need to be changed until the right balance is found. This can take months or even years. The right balance of medication will have the least amount of side effects possible with the greatest benefit.
It is important to continue taking the medication even if you are feeling better. Symptoms will return once the medication has been stopped. A long-acting injection instead of daily pills may be used if you have difficulty taking regular medication.
Antipsychotic medication also have side effects that may make it difficult to stick to a medication routine. Common side effects include:
Medicines called
atypical antipsychotics have fewer side effects and are better tolerated over long periods of time. However, these medication may cause weight gain, high blood sugar levels, and
high cholesterol
can often occur with schizophrenia. They may be treated with:
Schizophrenia is a lifelong condition. It can be confusing and frightening for the person with the disease and for family members. Individual and family therapy can address:
If you are diagnosed with schizophrenia, follow your doctor's
There are no guidelines for preventing schizophrenia because the cause is unknown. But studies show that early, aggressive treatment leads to better outcomes.

This map depicts the coastal region known as Khefaria and is in the same world as Wyrtenheim. It stretches nearly 300 kilometers along the southwest coast of the continent of Alitoria. In the northeast Khefaria is bordered by the Alikanian Uplands, which separate the coast from the Untimian Savannah, wich is more than 600 kilometers broad and has only small settlements.
Khefaria was once united but since the last king died hundred years ago without a male heir, the realm is broken up into dozens of successor states. Now princedoms, counties and republics rule either over a single city or a small territory. Rapidly changing coalitions ensure that no power becomes strong enough to conquer the others. Since the breakdown of the old kingdom 14 such coalitions were formed to crush potential conquerors.
I decided again for German labels.
The shield says: Exact map of Khefaria with city states and princedoms given by the Imperial Oceanic Trading Company, 1612

The 2009 Amsoil/Street Rodder - Road Tour Leg 6Written by on January 26, 2010 The Classic Automobilia Tour From Kalamazoo To Burlington
The NSRA Nationals North in Kalamazoo, Michigan, proved to be the perfect kickoff to the AMSOIL/STREET RODDER Classic Automobilia Tour. The September weather was great with clear blue skies and temperatures in the high 70s each day. The fairgrounds were covered with participants and spectators each of the three days of the event.
Sunday afternoon about 15 of the 20 street rods that were registered for the Classic Automobilia Tour gathered at the STREET RODDER hospitality tent and the trip to Burlington began. Our destination for Sunday evening was Milan, Ohio, near Lake Erie and the Cedar Point area. We arrived just before sunset, enjoyed some supper, and hit the hay in anticipation of a full day of fun on Monday
Monday started with a 7:30 a.m. driver's meeting where we went over the day's activities. It was a short 5-mile drive to Thomas Edison's birthplace, just off the square in Milan. From Milan we headed east on the Ohio Turnpike and Berea, Ohio, the home of the Flaming River Industries facilities. Flaming River has been the official steering component supplier to the Road Tour for many years. At Flaming River we were greeted by Sales Manager Brett Domin and the Flaming River staff. We were also greeted by a video crew who were filming footage to be used in a Flaming River promotional video. We were given a tour of the manufacturing facilities and then enjoyed some delicious cookies and coffee before setting out on our travels east.
The next stop was the Akron, Ohio, home of Gearstar Transmission. Gearstar has been the official automatic transmission supplier for the Road Tour cars for the last four years. We put about 20,000 miles on our Road Tour vehicles each season and the Gearstar transmissions have performed flawlessly every year. At Gearstar we were greeted by owner Zack Farrah and his staff of technicians. After a question and answer session with the experts at Gearstar we all enjoyed a great lunch before traveling on to Youngstown, Ohio.
The drive to Youngstown took about an hour and then we arrived at the Classic Automobilia showroom at 1 p.m. My wife Mary Ann and I started Classic Automobilia in 1989 and have been supplying automotive nostalgia items to folks for 20 years. The most recent addition to the Classic Automobilia line is the '34 Hot Rod pedal car that celebrates the 75th anniversary of that iconic body style. It is always fun to show everyone the items that I have collected over the years.
After our visit at Classic Automobilia the Road Tourians headed for the hotel and I headed for my own house for a change. Mary Ann and I had invited everyone to stop by for some refreshments before we headed to TP Tools for a visit. Also at our house we handed out the Road Tour participant goodie bags and T-shirts. Mary Ann also put together a special goodie bag for the tour participants. It was great to show everyone our home and collection of vehicles.
At TP Tools in Canfield we were greeted by owners Fred and Bob Zwicker. The showroom at TP Tools is of course filled with every type of tool and sandblast equipment that anyone would need for automotive work, but it is also filled with some great displays of items that Fred and Bob have collected over the years. The offices are lined with incredible antique wood cabinets, desks, and beautiful oak trim. We were shown the production facilities where the TP Tools blasting cabinets and HVLP spray units are manufactured. The newest addition at TP is the building that houses their classic car collection. We enjoyed some refreshments and everyone had a great time at TP Tools. It was a full day of fun on the Classic Automobilia Tour.
The Tuesday morning driver's meeting was exciting as we were joined by five very official and very serious Secret Service agents at the hotel where the Road Tourians were staying. They were the advance team for President Obama's visit to the local General Motors plant that afternoon. They seemed to notice our cars but there was definitely not a lot of chit-chat from them.
Our first stop on Tuesday was Rocky Hinge in Girard, Ohio, a suburb of Youngstown. Rocky Shamblin, his wife Carol, his son Brad, and the crew greeted us and we took a tour of their facility. Besides the hidden hinges they are famous for, they also produce some trick items, like bear claw assemblies, a billet cowl door lift, and a very cool electric '55 Chevy taillight/gas door opener, to name a few. Rocky Hinges is yet another example of American craftsmen manufacturing quality products right here in the United States.
It was a two-hour drive east across I-80 to DuBois, Pennsylvania. We had an invitation to see the amazing muscle car collection of Don Frezell. Housed in two adjoining buildings, Frezell's collection includes a cross section of some of the most rare and desirable high-performance vehicles of the last 50 years. Included are two early '60s Z-11 Chevys, one of which is the famous Old Reliable IV, which was built by Grumpy Jenkins and driven by Dave Strickler. Mixed in the collection are rare factory Mopar race cars and some Mustangs and Fords to keep things even. Frezell provided some great sandwiches for the group and it was another fantastic AMSOIL/STREET RODDER Road Tour stop.
Our afternoon drive was long as we traveled four hours to the town of Port Jervis, New York, where we were going to be guests of honor at a special monthly cruise being held in our honor. What we found when we arrived was really amazing. The main drag in the town had been blocked off for cruising and the streets were lined with cars, trucks, and motorcycles of all different styles. The cruising went on from 6-8:30 p.m. when awards were given out to winners of different classes. Many thanks to Harold Butler who helped coordinate our visit. It was a fun evening indeed.
Wednesday was a day I had been looking forward to all summer. We visited the Woodstock Festival site and the new and very beautiful Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. Forty years ago at the tender young age of 18, I made the trip to the hillside in upstate New York and became part of what was the defining moment of the '60s. I had made one return trip to the site in 1996 with the original Road Tour coupe but it has really changed since then.
After a beautiful 45-minute drive from Port Jervis were met at the Bethel Woods by Jodi Kane who is in charge of group visits. Kane did a fantastic job of showing us the grounds and the incredible facility that has been built at the original festival site. There are summer concerts each year at Bethel Woods but for me the crown jewel was the museum. It is an amazing collection of artifacts and items that tell the story of not only the concert itself but what events in our nation's history led up to that moment in August 1969. It really tells the story of the '60s. Our stop at Bethel Woods was a high point in our Classic Automobilia Road Tour week.
From Bethel we headed on to Sturbridge, Massachusetts. Wednesday evening we visited the home and shop of my good friends Sue and Dennis O'Brien of O'Brien Truckers fame in nearby Charlton, Massachusetts. O'Brien Truckers is famous for their cast aluminum car club plaques, license plate toppers, and vintage cast aluminum accessories for hot rods. Their home and facility are beautiful and we had a wonderful evening with many local rodders showing up to enjoy some pizza and beverages. We were also joined by automotive journalist Steve Magnante. Many of you may know Magnante from his in-depth work on the Speed Channel's coverage of the Barrett Jackson Auctions. It was yet another great evening on the Classic Automobilia Tour.
After our fun evening at O'Brien Truckers in Charlton we were up and rolling, as Thursday was the day we were to arrive in Burlington. Our first stop in the morning was at Intercity Lines terminal in Brookfield, Massachusetts. Intercity Lines is the official auto transport company of the AMSOIL/STREET RODDER Road Tour. Folks on the East Coast have expressed an interest in participating in our West Coast Tour and vice versa for our West Coast Road Tourians. Intercity provides a way to safely and conveniently get your vehicle across long distances worry free. At Intercity we were greeted by President Dave Wilson and the Intercity staff. While enjoying coffee and doughnuts we were given a demonstration of the care and preparation that goes into securing a vehicle for its trip on an Intercity carrier. Their services make it possible for more folks to enjoy Road Tours across the country.
Our morning drive took us across the beautiful hills of New Hampshire and onto our lunch stop at Queechee Gorge Village on the New Hampshire/Vermont border. After some lunch we posed for a group picture and we were on our way to Burlington and the NSRA Northeast Nationals. We arrived in time for registration and all settled into our hotels for three days of fun.
It was a great weekend at the Northeast Nationals. We all enjoyed the AMSOlL/STREET RODDER Road Tour hospitality tent. The weather was dry but as is the case in Vermont in September the morning can be very chilly. There was ice on the roof of the Road Tour Chevy one morning and it was the first "snowball" of the '09 Road Tour. We posed for a group picture on Saturday at the tent and I was surprised by everyone as they presented me with a Road Tour poster that they had all signed. They also give me some money to take Mary Ann out to dinner when I got home. Thanks folks, that was very nice!
The Road Tourians again took some top awards at the Burlington event. Dennis Gibson and Jim and Cindy Getter were presented with Reps picks and Chuck and Ann Shepler won the long distance award. It is always nice to see Road Tourians in the winners circle. Our cars are top-notch drivers who look great too.
As I pulled out of the fairgrounds I set my sights to the west. In five days I was scheduled to start the Sherms Plating Tour 3,000 miles away in Escondido, California near San Diego. I had to get rolling. I am driving the Road Tour Chevy on a cross-country run that will be "old-school" Road Touring with three 800-mile days. California here I come.

The folks at Gearstar take great pride in their work and each transmission comes with the name of the technician who did the buildup of that unit. The last three automatic transmissions that have been used on Road Tour vehicles have come from Gearstar and they have all performed flawlessly.The Classic Automobilia showroom and office in Youngstown, OH, is filled with auto-related nostalgia items. The Classic Automobilia line of pedal cars includes a 75th anniversary '34 Hot Rod pedal roadster.It is a short drive from Youngstown to the village of Canfield, OH. Fred and Bob Zwicker of TP Tools invited us all to an open house at their facility. The showroom at TP Tools is beautiful with fantastic woodwork and many collectibles mixed in with their huge selection of tools. We also got to see the new building that houses the Zwicker's collection of special interest vehicles.Tuesday morning we visited Rocky Hinges in Girard, OH, near Youngstown. Besides their line of hidden hinges, the folks at Rocky's have added many trick items to their line of products. Owner Rocky Shamblin's son Brad showed us what goes into the manufacturing of their hinges and related products.DuBois, PA, is the home of enthusiast Don Fezell and his collection of vintage muscle cars. Old Reliable was built by Grumpy Jenkins, driven by Dave Strickler, and was restored to its original race trim by Fezell and his group. Grumpy himself gave the restoration of the car his approval.On Wednesday evening the tour participants were special guests at a car cruise in Port Jervis, NY. Once a month the main street in Port Jervis is blocked off and hundreds of cruisers fill the town. At the end of the evening awards are given to vehicles in a number of different classes.From Port Jervis it was a very pretty drive into the Catskill area of New York State. A number of the Minisink Valley cruisers joined us as we made the Thursday morning drive to Bethel, NY, the site of the Woodstock Music Festival in 1969.It's hard to believe that we were standing on the actual hillside where the famous Woodstock Music and Arts Festival took place 40 years ago. The Road Tourians enjoyed the stories and memories of my adventures at the festival in 1969.
Intercity Lines is the official auto transportation company of the AMSOIL/STREET RODDER Road Tour. We stopped by their terminal in Brookfield, MA, on Thursday morning. We were greeted by owner Dave Wilson and the Intercity staff. We were also shown how the folks at Intercity take care to ensure that every vehicle they transport is safe and secure.The lineup of Road Tour cars at Intercity Lines looked like the starting grid for an early stock car race. The folks at Intercity gave each participant a die-cast replica of one of their transport trucks. Burlington, VT, and the NSRA Northeast Nationals were just four hours up the road.

The call came in at about 2:30 p.m. and within a half hour, fire officials were fortunate to have contained the fire. Farmers from the area assisted fire officials by providing a bobcat skid loader and two large tractors pulling tandem disks to help smother the flames. Approximately six acres of soybeans were lost to the fire. It is not known how the fire started. No farm equipment was lost as a result of the fire.

Judge Orders Hog Producer To Pay For Manure Spill
SPENCER, Iowa (AP) - A Clay County judge has ordered a northwest Iowa hog producer to pay a $15,000 penalty for an illegal manure application last year that led to a fish kill.
The civil penalty was assessed Tuesday against Bruce Click, who owns and operates a 4,000 hog operation in Peterson, for applying the manure last September. Authorities say the manure flowed into a tributary of the Little Sioux River, resulting in water quality standard violations and a fish kill.
In the consent decree filed Tuesday, Click admitted to the violations and agreed to the penalty and a permanent injunction against further violations.
Spencer Police Looking For White Van
SPENCER, Iowa (AP) - Spencer police are searching for the driver of a white van who tried to make contact with some students at a playground in Spencer.
Police say a man in his 60s stopped at an elementary school Tuesday afternoon and motioned for the students to come over. Some teacher aides came outside and the man left.
Three similar incidents have been reported in Lyon and Dickinson counties in the past few weeks.
Spencer Police Chief Mark Lawson says the suspect and vehicle description in Tuesday's incident are a close match to the others, but he can't say if the cases are linked.
DNA Proves Man's Guilt Of A Ten Year Old Rape Case
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) - Authorities are crediting a federal DNA database for nabbing a Nebraska sex offender in a 10-year-old Iowa sexual assault case.
The Council Bluffs Nonpareil reports (http://bit.ly/U7nPA9 ) that Mark Sands, a registered sex offender from Omaha, Neb., pleaded guilty to third-degree kidnapping and third-degree sexual
assault before his trial in Pottawattamie County was set to begin Tuesday. He had been charged with first- and second-degree kidnapping, burglary, sexual abuse and three assault charges for a 2001 home invasion in which a Council Bluffs mother was raped and beaten and her 16-year-old disabled daughter tied up.
Sands was sentenced Tuesday to 10 years in prison.
The 51-year-old Sands was arrested last year after police said the national DNA database identified him as the man who raped the woman in October 2001.
Branstad Names New Public Safety Commissioner
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Gov. Terry Branstad has named a new commissioner of the Iowa Department of Public Safety.
Branstad on Tuesday appointed 59-year-old K. Brian London to the post, replacing Larry Noble, who retired in July.
London has over 30 years in law enforcement, including the California Highway Patrol, the CIA, the Secret Service, the International Criminal Police Organization, or INTERPOL, in France and with Florida's Department of Financial Services. Most recently, he was an independent security consultant in Florida.
Branstad says London has a "wealth of experience" to bring to Iowa. London begins his new job on Oct. 8.
Iowans Arrested For Transporting Juvenile Girls For Prostitution
CHICAGO (AP) - Two people in Iowa and one in Ohio have been arrested for allegedly transporting underage girls to Chicago for prostitution.
The U.S. Attorney's office in Chicago said in a Tuesday statement that authorities launched an investigation in April after a 14-year-old girl snuck out of a hotel and called her mother in Iowa City. The mother then contacted police.
There are two other alleged victims - both 16 years old. The suspects are aged 19, 23 and 41. Federal authorities are seeking to have them sent to Chicago.
A complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago charges each with one count of conspiracy to transport minors across state lines to engage in prostitution.
If convicted, each faces a mandatory minimum 10-year sentence and a maximum sentence of life.

The controversy over RapeLay, an obscure but disgusting forced sex simulation, appears to be rekindling. GamePolitics readers will recall that the game sparked a furor earlier this year after it was found to be for sale by a third-party reseller on Amazon.com. In response to complaints the online retailer quickly removed the listing.
This month, New York-based women's group Equality Now has targeted RapeLay and similar games for a letter-writing campaign:
Please write to [developer] Illusion Software asking it to withdraw immediately from sale of all games, including RapeLay, which involve rape, stalking or other forms of sexual violence or which otherwise denigrate women… Please write a similar letter to Amazon Japan.
Write also to… Japanese government officials… calling on them to comply with Japan's obligations under [the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women] and the Japanese Constitution to… ban the sale of computer games such as RapeLay, which normalize and promote sexual violence against women and girls.
Australian news site ABC.net reports that the Japanese developer of RapeLay, Illusion, claims to be "bewildered" by the uproar. Spokesman Makoto Nakaoka told ABC.net:
We are simply bewildered by the [Equality Now protest]. We make the games for the domestic market and abide by laws here. We cannot possibly comment on [the campaign] because we don't sell them overseas.
A Japanese Government spokeswoman to ABC.net:
[The government] realises the problem is there. While we recognise that some sort of measures need to be taken, the office is currently studying what can be done.

Breast Cancer Survivor Stories
Pam Robothom
(LE MARS) -- Diagnosed in 2007 and re-diagnosed in 2009...Pam Robotham of Le Mars has been through a roller coster of emotions during her fight with breast cancer. She discovered a lump in 2007, had it removed and it was discovered that the cancer had spread all over her breast, resulting in a mastectomy. She went through chemo and the reconstruction process which ended in late 2008. After that relief and celebration, Pam discovered a lump under her implant in August of 2009. She says her doctor was surprised at what he found after he tested the tissue sample.
Listen here
Following that news she has decided to have a second mastectomy. What's next? Constant monitoring...Pam goes in for check-ups every 3 months. Throughout this whole process Pam says that the support of the people in her life has meant so much to her and her family.
Listen here
Pam is the reigning "Survivor Queen" in Plymouth County for the American Cancer Society and
just starting working with the American Cancer Society as a "Reach to Recovery" volunteer. The group contacts people going through cancer related treatments just to make sure they are doing okay. Pam looks forward to helping others that way, because it meant a lot to her when she was going through treatment.
Listen here
Pam Robotham, cancer free going on 2 years.
Mary Ann Pick

Listen here
Mary Ann had a lumpectomy followed by radiation therapy, which got rid of her cancer.
More than anything else, Mary Ann stresses the importance of mammograms and self screening which leads to early detection.
Listen here

Hellen says that she was diagnosed with breast cancer in May of 2010.
Listen here
The drive up to Mayo and back for chemo was definitely hard, but with the company of her husband and one of her 5 children for every trip, the windshield time became quality family time. Hellen was also surprised at the level of interest shown by her 15 grandkids.
The advice that Hellen has for anyone going through a physical struggle from cancer or other difficult time is to be willing to accept help.
Listen here
Can good come out of the bad? Yes. Hellen said she realizes now what it really means to have support through faith, family, friends and the community as a whole.

Our Work
Building Blocks for Youth
Building Blocks for Youth was a multi-strategy, multi-site initiative that featured an alliance of children and youth advocates, researchers, community organizers, and law enforcement professionals working to address Disproportionate Minority Contact (DMC) by:
- Reducing the overrepresentation and racial and ethnic disparities affecting youth of color in the juvenile system and
- Promoting fair, rational, and effective juvenile justice policies.
The partners in Building Blocks for Youth were the Youth Law Center, American Bar Association Juvenile Justice Center (now National Juvenile Defender Center), W. Haywood Burns Institute, Juvenile Law Center, Justice Policy Institute, Minorities in Law Enforcement, National Council on Crime and Delinquency, and Pretrial Services Resource Center. Mark Soler, now the Executive Director of CCLP, was the overall coordinator of the initiative.
Building Blocks pursued five major strategies:
- Supporting new research on various aspects of DMC;
- Conducting site-based work to reduce DMC;
- Engaging in direct advocacy on behalf of youth of color in juvenile facilities;
- Building a broad constituency for change on DMC policies among national, state, and local organizations and agencies; and
- Developing new communications capacities
The initiative operated from 1998 to 2005. Descriptions of its site-based work can be found in its final report, No Turning Back: Promising Approaches to Reducing Racial and Ethnic Disparities in the Justice System. In all, including No Turning Back, Building Blocks released many reports on a variety of aspects of DMC, including over-incarceration and disparate treatment affecting youth of color; transfer to adult court; criminalization of youth in public opinion and the media; Hispanic/Latino youth in the juvenile justice system; the effect of "zero tolerance" policies in schools; and an advocate's guide to public opinion on youth, race, and crime. Those publications are listed below, along with links to electronic copies of the reports.
And Justice For Some: Differential Treatment of Minority Youth in the Justice System
Eileen Poe-Yamagata and Michael A. Jones
And Justice For Some: Differential Treatment of Minority Youth in the Justice System, prepared by the National Council on Crime and Delinquency (NCCD), is the most complete and up-to-date collection of state and federal data on arrest, referral, detention, case processing, waiver to adult court, and incarceration, building a comprehensive view of the treatment of youth of color in the justice system. Among the key findings, the report shows that youth of color are overrepresented and receive disparate treatment at every stage of the juvenile justice system.
A Tale of Two Jurisdictions: Youth Crime and Detention Rates in Maryland & D.C.
by Lisa Feldman, Michael Males, and Vincent Schiraldi
A Tale of Two Jurisdictions: Youth Crime and Detention Rates in Maryland and the District of Columbia finds that the District of Columbia had a much sharper drop in violent youth crime rates than the state of Maryland in the 1990's, even though Maryland's use of pretrial juvenile detention increased and the District's use of detention dropped substantially. The comparison of the District and Maryland suggests that cities and states can reduce locked detention without jeopardizing public safety. During the 1990's, the District sharply reduced its juvenile detention rate by 71 percent, while Maryland's detention rate rose 3 percent. During that same time, D.C.'s violent juvenile crime rate declined by 55 percent, more than three times Maryland's 15 percent decline in violent juvenile crime.
The Color of Justice: An Analysis of Juvenile Adult Court Transfers in California
By Mike Males, PhD and Dan Macallair, MPA, from the Justice Policy Institute
The Color of Justice: An Analysis of Juvenile Adult Court Transfers in California, prepared by the Justice Policy Institute, is the first analysis of racial and ethnic disparity in the transfer of youths to adult court and sentencing to California Youth Authority facilities in California. This study reveals that youth of color are 8.3 times more likely than white youth to be sentenced by an adult court to imprisonment in a California Youth Authority facility.
Youth Crime/Adult Time: Is Justice Served?
By Jolanta Juszkiewicz, from the Pretrial Services Resource Center
Youth Crime/Adult Time: Is Justice Served? reveals disturbing aspects in the transfer of youth, especially youth of color, to the adult criminal court. Prepared by the Pretrial Services Resource Center, the findings show over-representation and disparate treatment of youth of color, and raise serious questions about the fairness and appropriateness of prosecuting youth in the adult criminal system.
Drugs and Disparity: The Racial Impact of Illinois' Practice of Transferring Young Drug Offenders to Adult Court
By Jason Ziedenberg, from the Justice Policy Institute
Drugs and Disparity, a report prepared by the Justice Policy Institute for the Building Blocks for Youth initiative, finds that of the 393 youth automatically transferred to adult court in Cook County, IL during 1999-2000, over 99% were African-American or Latino, and 99% of the youth imprisoned for a drug crime from Cook County were youth of color.¿Dónde Está la Justicia? A Call to Action on behalf of Latino and Latina Youth in the U.S. Justice System
By Francisco Villarruel and Nancy Walker.
¿Dónde Está la Justicia? A Call to Action on Behalf of Latino and Latina Youth in the U.S Justice System is a comprehensive new report reveals that Latino and Latina youth are over-represented in the U.S. justice system, and receive harsher treatment than White youth for the same types of offenses, while the lack of adequate data nationwide masks the severity of the problem. The report was commissioned by the Building Blocks for Youth initiative, a national campaign to reduce racial disparities in the justice system and promote fair and effective justice policies, and prepared by Francisco Villarruel and Nancy Walker of Michigan State University's Institute for Children, Youth, and Families.
Off Balance: Youth, Race & Crime in the News
By Lori Dorfman, from the Berkeley Media Studies Group and Vincent Schiraldi, from the Justice Policy Institute
Off Balance: Youth, Race, and Crime in the News finds that news media unduly connects youth to crime and violence and that youth of color are overrepresented as perpetrators and underrepresented as victims of crime. Prepared by the Justice Policy Institute and the Berkeley Media Studies Group for the Building Blocks for Youth initiative, the study is an examination of over 70 content analyses of newspaper and television crime coverage.
Northern Lights: Success in Student Achievement and School Discipline at Northern Elementary School
By David Richart
Northern Lights: Success in Student Achievement and School Discipline at Northern Elementary School highlights that school achievement can be increased dramatically without resorting to out-of-school suspensions. Both of these accomplishments occur in an elementary school where fair and reasonable discipline is maintained in an environment where all children can learn. The case study focuses on Northern Elementary School in Lexington, where 70% of the school population is low-income students.
Unintended Consequences: The Impact of "Zero Tolerance" and Other Exclusionary Policies on Kentucky Students
By David Richart, Kim Brooks, and Mark Soler
Unintended Consequences: The Impact of Zero Tolerance and other Exclusionary Policies on Kentucky Students found that African American youth are suspended two to seven times as frequently as white students for "board violations" such as "defiance of authority" or other class disturbances. The report found that there were 68,000 suspensions for school board violations in the 2000/01 school year alone. African- American students were also suspended two to 17 times as frequently as white students, depending on the school district, for "law violations" such as possession of drugs.
Public Opinion On Youth, Crime, And Race: A Guide For Advocates
By Mark Soler
Public Opinion On Youth, Crime, And Race: A Guide For Advocates summarizes the public opinion research on youth and juvenile justice issues from the Building Blocks focus groups and national poll, as well as other polls. Unless otherwise noted, detailed findings discussed below are from the Building Blocks poll. After summarizing the public opinion research, this advocacy guide makes recommendations about how advocates can frame the issues in their work (focusing on effective messages and messengers), and how they can use this information in their organizing and advocacy efforts.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics estimates that more than 1 in 10 youth in state juvenile facilities and large local facilities were sexually victimized by staff or youth in a 12-month period.

I am just curious as to what a consensus would be in regards to attachment size limitations in today's internet broadband environments.
The reason being, I really don't know what limit is reasonable. I have some people that want to fire off e-mails with 35-50MB attachments. At what point is a burned CD in a FedEx envelope justified?
I currently have the attachment limits set to 10MB. I thought that was generous but maybe I am just being "old school"?
Thoughts anyone?

Reveal More About Davison Departure
May 18, 2013
During her first three years as Steubenville city manager, Cathy Davison and members of City Council appeared to get along well....
The real problem in these little cities like Wheeling and Steubenville, we end up with government for the politicians and government employees. Government for and by the people no longer exist for the whole city it is only for a few but they still want the taxes to for pay raises and for large while elephant project for a few with their name painted on the project .
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Government in all cities likes to keep the dirty laundry behind executive meetings or private meetings. This is why the Sunshine Laws were pass but now everything qualify as a Executive Session. Maybe it is time to eliminate Executive Session unless it is for national security because from the Federal level to the city level. They have all been in the process of try to control government for their private needs of elected, appointed and friends connected. Remember next election and vote them all out.

Maybe she finally realized that the welfare/corruption crowd that runs Stupidville cannot be overcome through efficiency, honesty, integrity or hard work.
Lowlife, criminal welfare scum like their housing projects and their narcotics deals and local officials like the cash it brings them.

Generally when a person quits a job they receive pay for hours worked todate and paid for unused vacation time. I seriously doubt that either would qualify for a severance check exceeding $43K so my question is - why the large check?

You can't be down two games, avenger, you've only played one.
You notice that when we didn't respond to him, on the other thread, another Laker troll account suddenly appeared?
Too predictable!
You are a machine gun poster. You reply to yourself. Even trolls like me get sick of your posts. You are obnoxious as they come.
BTW you were the biggest Rondo basher around here last year and now your acting like you are his biggest fan. Someone said you cover all the bases so that you are never wrong. Appears to be the case.
You called him Mr. Brick, and Anti Clutch, etc, etc, etc? You called him a 4th quarter liability, could only play the first 3 quarters, now he makes the difference in the 4th quarter? Gimme a break.
Come on over to the Laker squad. On second thought don't. Just finish out your bet that you welshed on and go away.

How many times have I told you love you?
Don't seem to change a thang, girl you're not the same
There was a time when you wanted me to hug you
And treat you like, the lady that you wanna be
The girl I knew that wanted me
Would never try to hold me back
And do me all this wrong
Girl what's goin on?
I tried to talk and you walk away
Right out of my face, right out of my place, but
[Chorus: repeat 2X]
That's just it, girl
You just don't know how much I love you now
That you walked out of my house
That's just it, girl
It'll be another day, be another way
To get you right back in my place
How many times have we sat at a table
And both ate at one time, and said what's on our mind?
I'm thinkin our relationship was a fable
A fairytale to me, that's just how it seems (oh girl I heard)
Even when I heard that you was cheatin I was faithful
And would do any God damn thing that you would say too
I tried to talk and you walk away
Right out of my face, right out of my place, but
{*guitar solo interlude*}
[Chorus] w/ slight ad libs
Heyyyy, heyyyy, heyyyy

|Commissioners adopt 2009 budget
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Phillips County Commissioners adopted the 2009 county budget Tuesday, Dec. 9. The county mill levy has remained at 28.28 since 1992, and the commissioners again adopted the mill levy of 28.28.
2008 Mill 2009
Levies Levies
General Fund 21.45 21.45
Road & Bridge 4.23 4.23
Social Service 1.60 1.60
Capital Expenditure 1.00 1.00
The county general fund budget was increased from $2,316,755 in 2008 to $2,352,540 in 2009. Changes in the 2009 budget include limited capital expenditure requests, a flat $35/month of additional pay per qualified employee, regular employee step increases and increased health care costs.
Most other budget items remain stable. The salary compensation plan put in place Jan. 1, 2000 will not be adjusted for cost of living in 2009. Commissioners said there is simply not enough new revenue to cover any increase.
The county's health insurance increased eight percent overall, primarily due to heavy usage. The county picks up the lion's share of the increase, but employees also pay from 20-35 percent of the premium, depending on their plans. Their costs increased proportionally.
Phillips County received some major capital outlay requests from elected officials and department heads for 2009. Major requests include another vehicle for the Sheriff's Office at $22,100; a software upgrade for the Treasurer's Office for $57,376; replacement of the courthouse steps and sidewalk for $20,700; and a $5,000 ATV for the weed district.
Road and Bridge again submitted requests for new maintainers and a new loader in 2009. Those purchases are under review and will only be possible if major grants are obtained.
Sheriff Rob Urbach has been able to hire a fourth officer in the Sheriff's Office. This was made possible by a court security grant which is paying 70 percent of the costs.
The Sheriff's Office currently is staffed with four people: the Sheriff, UnderSheriff, a deputy and a court security officer. Commissioners said they would like to see ways the county and two municipal law enforcement forces can work together to more efficiently serve the citizenry.
The Road and Bridge budget went from $1,601,885 in 2008 to $1,682,737 in 2009. The increase in spending will only become a reality if the board decides to seek and is successful in obtaining major grants to help with the purchase of new capital equipment.
Highway Users Tax Funds from federal and state gas taxes continue to be the major revenue for Road and Bridge. The estimated HUTF income for 2009 is $950,685, down $1,480 from 2008 projections. The mill levy for Road and Bridge will remain at 4.23 for 2009.
Commissioners added that in 2008, Road and Bridge again worked very little overtime, hired limited part-time summer help and purchased almost no capital equipment—all in an effort to bring the road and bridge fund balance back up.
County Commissioners hope to finish "raising the roof" on the new Event Center. The fund raising efforts and grant seeking still continue for the final amount needed.
The revised estimated cost is $3.4 million. To date, $3,066,302 has been committed or is in hand. Commissioners said the response has been exciting as the amount raised locally nears $650,000. The committee is hoping residents will take the opportunity to invest in this project and raise the last $375,414 still needed.
Other county fund budgets include the Social Services Fund $723,358, which is an increase of $28,500 over last year; Contigency Fund at $157,000; Conservation Trust (lottery funds) of $79,000; E911 Fund Budget of $66,650; and the Economic Development Fund with a budget of $21,000.
The County Fair Fund again has a 2009 budget of $88,575. The county will give $11,500 of tax funds toward that effort, which is the same amount given in 2008. The Fair Board utilizes ticket sales, contributions, income from stock car races and the current fund balance to fund the remaining amount.
While the county does maintain and improve the facilities at the fairgrounds, those funds are taken out of the General Fund allocation for fairgrounds improvement. The county will also continue to provide $4,000 toward the Haxtun Corn Festival.

It was a wild scene at Tallahassee Mall's AMC 20 Theatre around seven Thursday evening. That's because July 15th marked the beginning of the end for the Happy Potter movies.
Hundreds of people lined the hallways trying to get a coveted seat for the 8th and final installment, which opened at midnight.
Theater employees say they sold more than 3,000 tickets - that was five hours before the movie's premier.
"When I was really, really little, my brother would read it to me, and then when I got older I read the series again, and by that point I was old enough to go to the movies so I've been to almost like every premier," said Harry Potter fan, Laura Ippolito.
Employees say they will show the movie in 16 of their 20 theaters at midnight. It will run again at 3:15 Friday morning. They've sold nearly 1,000 tickets for that viewing.

|United Sexualities Hosts Pride Week, Gay Prom
|Charlaine Grosse
Staff Writer
It started Monday with the Day of Silence & Night of Noise and finished on Saturday night with the Gay Prom. Not to mention different events every single nights during the week : Gender Blender Day, T-shirt Day, Movie Night and last but not least, the Coming Out Vigil. According to Wes Heath, student advisor of United Sexualities and junior double majoring in sociology and psychology, the most memorable, without a doubt, was the Coming Out Vigil on Thursday. The Chapel was completely full, and the people were stating their feelings and being completely honest in front of dozens of people that they did not know. They were telling their stories, and some of them were coming out that night. Some were reading speeches, reading poems, singing songs and playing the piano or just saying from the bottom of their hearts what they had to say. The audience was completely sensitive to what was being said. Some even cried because they were so touched.
"The pride week gives colleges' great visibility and awareness, that is why many colleges do it," Heath said. "The pride week exists at Manchester since several years."
Zabrian Mills, co-facilitator of United Sexualities and junior in psychology added: "The pride week gave everybody a chance to express themselves and to let out all the oppression accumulated."
United Sexualities is what Heath calls a gay-straight alliance. Indeed, lots of allies (someone straight who is working to help promote social equalities) are also part of it. Their 2012 goal is to be more visible on campus and make sure that the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) community is understood by everybody. "We don't promote any political actions," Heath said. "Instead, we work as a group to raise awareness. It is also safe place for the people at Manchester University to come and talk about trouble related or not to LGBT.
"As regards the LGBT, Manchester University as an institution is very accepting and open. I feel quite comfortable here. I can walk on campus holding hands with my boyfriend. But there is still have issues within some departments or group of people. We still hear 'fag,' for instance, and we can still hear some indirect insult that can bring up the hurt, especially within the sport field. But once again, lots of athletes are very supportive."
Moreover, despite the mainly common awareness about the LGBT community, there are some people who still never heard about it before. Therefore, to raise focus to it is their main goal, in order to avoid future inequalities. "Plus, there is a difference between knowledge and awareness," Heath added.
On Saturday, a gay prom was organized to close this pride week. The theme was Tim Burton's rendition of Nightmare before Gay Prom. "Burton is very open-minded and different," Mills said. "In a way he can be considered as an ally because he takes weird and uncommon things and makes them become popular, therefore accepted."
United Sexualities felt the need to organize a gay prom because not everybody had the chance to enjoy their own high school prom. Indeed in many high schools, it's forbidden to bring a same-sex partner. "I have been to my high school's prom night, but I didn't like it at all," Heath said. "Mainly because I was not allowed to bring my boyfriend. And if you try to bring a same-sex partner, they will make sure not to sell you tickets."
However, there are some high schools like Mills', which now allows same-sex partner because of a lawsuit. Moreover, bringing a same-sex partner is not the only difference between the traditional prom and the gay one. "The gay prom is funnier, because it's less formal so you're more at ease, more relax and it is really more open-minded than the regular one," Mills said.
United Sexualities has gained in visibility over the past few years, and they still want to achieve few more objectives. Their main goal is now to obtain an infrastructure to host their members and where the people can feel at ease and safe to talk without any judgment. A place quite similar to the Peace Studies Center or to the Multicultural Center, because they still don't have one yet. Along with this center, they wish Manchester University has more LGBT resources, as books in the library for instance. At last but not least, their long term goal is to win the LGBT-Friendly National Accreditation, which could gave more visibility to Manchester University and thus, bring more diversity on campus.

Lisa White graduated from Herzing University in January 2013 with an associate's degree in nursing. But there is much more to her story than that. White recalls standing in Herzing's lobby in 2009 with her quadruplet boys--then just eight years old--and a squirming two year old waiting to talk to a Nursing Advisor. She truly wondered if she would be able to pursue her dream of becoming a registered nurse (RN). It would be a journey, she knew, and each journey begins with a first step; hers would be preparing to become a licensed practical nurse (LPN).
"With the support of my family, friends and the Herzing staff, I was able to receive my diploma for Practical Nursing," White stated. Her journey was well underway, and this success fueled her to press on.
In August 2011, the decision to return to school and start working toward her RN was a little easier, but the road seemed even harder this time. She remembers her husband worked longer hours, her parents were struggling to take care of other family members, and staying focused on school was difficult.
"Each time I waivered, there was always someone there to push me to keep going." she recalls. "My friends, fellow classmates and the Herzing staff were instrumental in my success. The ATI Test Preparation and other great study tools provided, along with the encouragement from my instructors to do my best were the ingredients necessary for me to graduate. In the end my sincere thanks goes to those who supported me through this journey. If a mom of five can go back to school and succeed, anyone can do it."
Lisa's success continues. Shortly after graduation she accepted a position with the Kirklin Clinic in Birmingham, AL and made her dream a reality.

USD-JPY rallied to a one-month peak of 111.32, partly reflecting broader dollar gains and partly broader yen weakness. The gains in the U.S. currency reflect the rekindling of expectations in Fed tightening expectations, while, despite this, generally firmer stock markets in Asia have encouraged yen selling. The consensus view is that the BoJ will also expand monetary policy by July. The Apr-25 peak at 111.89 provides the next upside waypoint for USD-JPY. ... Read More ►
