Prescription drugs are a problem
Rising numbers in Nassau County opiate abuse
1 2 Next page >
Prescription drug abuse in the United States has spiked dramatically in the past few years, and Nassau County is no exception.
Illegal use of prescription drugs has become so widespread across the country that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have classified the abuse of these drugs as an epidemic. According to "A Response to the Epidemic of Prescription Drug Abuse," a fact sheet published in 2011 by the Office of National Drug Control Policy, prescription drugs are the second-most abused category of drugs in the country, following marijuana, and substance abuse treatment admissions by patients aged 12 and older increased more than fourfold from 1998 to 2008.
"Prescription drug abuse has reached epidemic proportion in the United States," said Charles Gennario, commissioner of the Rockville Centre Police Department and a member of the Nassau County Heroin Prevention Task Force. "Police executives have realized we are not going to arrest our way to ridding our society of this problem."
According to Gennario, prescription abuse is the fastest growing cause of death among middle-aged women, with a 400 percent increase in the last two years. Abuse is rapidly growing among youth as well, he said; 2,500 children between 12 and 17 experiment with prescription drug use for the first time each day.
"These are staggering statistics," he added.
Nassau County's figures don't look much better. Between 2012 and 2013, opiate and heroin arrests in the county increased by 16 and 20 percent respectively, according to charts provided by the Nassau County Police Department.
"I can tell you that we've seen a consistent escalation of prescription drug use over the last seven or eight years," said Art Rosenthal, executive director of Confide Counseling and Consultation Center in Rockville Centre, a non-for-profit dedicated to helping any individual, family, group, organization or institution overcome substance abuse or related problems. "We're seeing people come in here who are young, who are high school age, pre-college age kids. We see their families and we see the devastation it causes…. It's a very elusive, insidious type of illness."

I'm glad to see that this epidemic is finally getting some attention, especially in the five towns area. This has been an enormous problem for over ten years. I have watched countless kids in my neighborhood fall victim to these prescription drugs being given out by MD's like M&M's. How is it that a 19 year old kid can go to a doctor with fraudulent tests results and receive 120 30mg oxycontin pills, EVERY MONTH FOR YEARS? Oxycontin is a synthetic heroin that causes almost immediate addiction. Then one or two pills don't do the trick so they take more and more to achieve the same high. Thus, accounting for the almost 17,000 deaths due to overdoses A YEAR since 2008. We lost 4000 servicemen in Iraq in five years and the country is outraged. Where is the outrage against Perdue Pharma and the doctors who are making huge amounts of money on the backs of our youth? The FDA refuses to classify hydrocodone as a schedule 2 drug making it harder to get. The DEA and committee went to them almost 7 months ago and they agreed to make the change, but they have not done it yet. Why? We are so hell bent on arresting addicts and using government resources to punish them, but we let this go on?
I have personally reported two MD's to the Nassau County DA's office and they are still in practice. So as far as Im concerned this is all lip service by this office. They say they see the problem but really do little to help the situation. The drug court in Nassau County is so mismanaged that anyone that is caught up in it runs the risk of relapse only because you have people working there that don't really understand addiction and don't know how to provide the right services for these people. These kids don't have a chance in this system unless they have a good support system at home. What about those that don't?
In my neighborhood alone, 90% of the kids from the ages 16-25 are using these pills. And then when they cant afford them they go to heroin because its cheaper. We have a major problem on our hands. These generations are going down and there is still so much ignorance in regard to this issue.
I respect what DA Rice had to say, I only hope that she continues to educate herself on this issue and attempts to find alternatives to arrests and throwing addicts in jail, such as proper rehab and relapse prevention. Right now, the rehab services offered to Nasssau County residents are sub-par, disorganized, and set people up for relapse. They need to put the energy into assuring proper transition from detox to rehab without forcing these addicts to go back on the street while they wait for a bed. The drug court mandates rehabs then when they go, the system is set up for failure because most times red tape gets in the way. They are expecting people who have a major problem to circumvent this system when they don't even have the tools to function in day to day life.

Tech at Night: Amazon Internet Tax, Privacy, Google
California's Democrats, having refused to get tough with the unions who coincidentally will fund their re-election campaigns, are still determined to raise taxes. So they continue to push for an unconstitutional Amazon Tax on the Internet that just might cost the state more than it brings in, in the long run. They're playing with "thresholds" to try to focus the bill on specific companies like | Read More »

text: Spy Agency's next top analyst: you Technology 12 July 11 by Adam Rawnsley Focus Features Crowdsourcing. It's been used for everything from handicapping the next election to making a kick-ass encyclopedia to building a better movie recommendation tools for Netflix. America's spy agencies are hoping it can help 'em predict what's going to happen on the world stage next. In other words, Washington's next sharp-eyed intelligence analyst could be you. An early test of the system starts this week.On Friday, Applied Research Associates Inc will launch the Aggregative Contingent Estimation System(ACES), a website that lets members of the public test out methods to crowdsource intelligence predictions. Funded by Iarpa, the intelligence community's advanced research shop, ACES invites users to try their hand at making predictions and sharpening up their forecasting skills. The resulting data, ARA and Iarpa hope, will let spooks find out if the crowd can build a better crystal ball for the intel world. The project will test out crowd-based forecasting for the intelligence community by testing its methods out on a website. That site opens to the public this Friday."We're trying to make good use of everybody's individual opinions and trying to determine what aspects of them might be important and would lead to a good forecast," says Dr. Dirk Warnaar, the principal investigator for the ACES project at Applied Research Associates.The idea behind tapping into collective intelligence is simple: There's bits of useful information distributed among the members of diverse crowds, so aggregating their judgments should yield a better answer -- better even than experts' -- to a particular question.But ARA is looking to do something just a little different from other crowdsourcing efforts. While many similar tools assign equal weight to participants' inputs, ACES will be looking for the most accurate predictors over time and weighting their judgments more heavily than other users.Tools that tap into the smarts of the crowd have shown promise on a host of challenges over the years. Researchers have used Twitter buzz about upcoming movies to make pretty accurate predictions about box office sales on opening weekends. Tools like Ushaidi, nonprofit software that lets users map incidents, resources or people in the midst of crises, has helped rescuers find and save victims of disasters like Haiti's earthquake. ACES is a crowdsourcing tool somewhat similar to an online poll. People who sign up for the website will be asked whether an event in the fields of politics, economics, science, society or security will take place and what probability they assign to it. Their answers are then aggregated to see if the group produces an accurate prediction. It's not a prediction market like the famous InTrade, which lets users bet on just about anything you can think of. No money changes hands on ACES -- only opinions.

Posted by AlexFilides
I agree Alex, what a debacle the MIAA has made of this tournament. I was talking to my son's former coach and he was livid at the ineptness of the directors of this tournament. He gave me two names Nancy Martins and William McGuirk. If I did such a poor job at my profession, I would be put on administrative leave. I don't think the goal is to hold these two accountable for their poor judgement. What is the major issue is to establish rules to see that even though incompetent individuals are at the helm, schools can revert to an established set of rules to protect the interests of the participants involved. Two revisions I would propose would be.
1. No team should have to compete in two tournament games within a 20 hour period.
2. The higher seeded team will retain home field advantage. Within a designated time, 6 hours before game time, if the field is deemed not worthy of holding the match, the higher seeded team shall provide an alternative site. If the alternate field is not available the MIAA director shall designate a preselected playing field.
The language isn't great but you get what I mean.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Instagram says it will revise a planned update to its service agreement after confusion about its intent led to widespread user complaints.
At issue is whether users' photos can be part of advertisements, on and off Instagram. The mobile photo-sharing company said in a blog post Tuesday that it has no plans to put users' photos in advertisements.
That said, Instagram maintains that it was created to become a business and would like to experiment with various forms of advertisements to make money.
The new policy will take effect Jan. 16.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- You have less than 9 weeks to get those taxes in and as you procrastinate a little bit longer about getting everything done, here are a couple of Tax Tasks you can plan to work on this weekend. They will help make the actual process a less less painful.
1. Marketwatch recommends you track down stray forms.
The W-2s and 10-99s should all have been postmarked by Jan. 31 so they should be arriving by now. If anything is still missing by next week, then track them down. This is particularly important if you've moved in the past year or so.
2. If you don't have a filing system for you taxes, this is a perfect time to get one. Keep everything in one place. Set up a folder for 2012 taxes so you are ready when it's time to fill out the forms or send the info to your accountant. Also, set up a folder for 2013 right now, too.
3. If you run a small business, then you should know these dates: If you file 10-99s on paper, then you have to get them stamped and mailed by Feb. 28. If you file electronically, you have a little more time -- up until March 31. You should have sent those W-2s and 1099s to employees and other recipients by Jan. 31.
4. Finally, schedule your tax appointment. It never hurts to say hi to your accountant. Meeting face to face also gives you time talk about tax-planning for this year. You can also get some feedback about personal finance issues -- such as saving for college or buying or selling a home.

I use the phrase "GETS TO" very loosely.
Can't imagine it's going to end well, but I guess its as interesting as any other game for the next 15 min or so. Good luck Dan and the Mean Green. On CBS's SEC TV.

I'm going back and forth between this one and the Pitt game. Hope Mac can make it a game.
INT in the endzone!
Mean Green intercept Murray in the endzone on the second drive. Hmm. Maybe we'll get a half hour outta this one.
Coach Mac's predecessor really loaded up the schedule They took on 'Bama last year.
Oh well, its all dress rehearsal for when his Mean Green machine marches into Iowa City. When will that be? 2016 or so? That will just be too good.

Craig Robinson, best known for playing Darryl Philbin on NBC's The Office, has built his career on making people laugh. But this week trust me when I say he was in a not so funny situation in the Bahamas. That's because Craig Robinson was detained in the Bahamas for drug possession. He was attempting to board a plane back to the U.S. when customs agents discovered he was carrying a small amount of marijuana and "suspicious" pills that were later revealed to be ecstasy. Craig Robinson was taken into custody and ordered to appear before a magistrate. He told the court that he didn't know that the drugs were illegal in the Bahamas. After pleading guilty to two counts of drug possession, Craig Robinson was fined $1,000 and ordered to leave the country. This isn't Craig Robinson's first drug-related run-in with the law. Back in June of 2008, he was arrested on suspicion of possessing MDMA. LEARN YOUR LESSON!
I think we all can agree that motherhood is a beautiful thing. And for Reese Witherspoon, it also made her a better woman. Reese Witherspoon opening up to ELLE Magazine about how her kids have changed her life. She said, "Somebody was saying to me the other day, 'Oh, people get less interesting when they have kids.' I just don't think that's true. I feel like I was so confused before I had kids, I almost got in my own way. Having kids made me clearer about who I was as a woman. I just wanted to exhibit good qualities for my daughter. I was a little competitive before I had kids -- probably really competitive, to be honest. It really made me let go of that." Makes you wonder about what she used to be like before kids right?
Time for an upgrade! As Oprah Winfrey's 23,000-square-foot Montecito estate undergoes a major makeover, a mansion's worth of furniture, art and accessories is going to be auctioned of. Among the items up for auction will be hand-wrought iron panels and a collection of English George Smith upholstered furniture with down-stuffed cushions and coordinating pillows. Oprah also has added a number of European antiques from her collection to the sale. The auction will include items from her homes in Chicago, Maui and Indiana as well as Santa Barbara. Proceeds will benefit The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy Foundation College Fund. So if you want to buy any of her stuff, everything will be available to view on October 30th through November 1st from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you have the thousands of dollars!
Zac Efron is fresh off of his rehab stint from dealing with an addition to drugs. Well now it looks like he needed a new house for his new beginnings and he found it in a $3.9 million mansion in the hills! The problem: this house has a bigger reputation for partying than even Zac Efron himself! It used to be owned by rapper Sean Kingston who used to use the place for non-stop partying! Partygoers reportedly even had to sign non-disclosure forms at the door and then be photographed holding the piece of paper before they were even let inside! Zac Efron got the house thoroughly cleaned after he closed on the property! But could the new house tempt him to jump off the wagon? That's what people are fearing! Stay strong!
Amanda Bynes might be out of the public right now and on lockdown but you can still get an imprint of her teeth! Yep, you heard me right! Amanda Bynes is SO unreachable that Ben Baller, the man who made Amanda Bynes a grill over the summer, has been unable to deliver the $10,000 mouthpiece to her and is trying to figure out what to do with it. He posted a picture of the grill on Instragram saying: "Ever wondered what Amanda Bynes grills came out to look like? Here you go… Natural pink diamonds set on 14k rose gold. Tried for months to deliver this to her but doubt it will happen. Should I auction these off to charity? Thoughts?" A lot of his followers are already trying to get their hands on the piece! The charity idea is cool! Maybe he could donate it to a charity of the Bynes family's picking!
Blame is being placed now when it comes to the separation of Bruce and Kris Jenner! Bruce's two sons Brody and Brandon Jenner blame Kris Jenner for robbing them of their father and they are more than happy over the split. Brody and Brandon Jenner became estranged from their dad when he married Kris in 1991. They were raised by their mom, Linda Thompson and David Foster, who married Linda after she divorced Bruce. They boys were devastated and believed their real dad abandoned them. They have bitter feelings toward Kris that are still around today. Now Bruce is living in Malibu, close to Brody and Brandon, and they are reconnecting with their dad.
This is too funny! Lindsay Lohan was on Tinder, a dating app, and found her brother's profile! She took a picture of her brother Michael Jr.'s profile and wrote: "Look who I just found on @tinderapp… hey bro!" This may just be a joke between brother and sister but it still revealed to a lot of people that her brother is dating online. Also, think about it. If Lindsay Lohan found his profile, does that mean that SHE has a profile too? You can't search on the app without having a profile yourself, so it sounds like she DOES have a profile too!
If you're going to go in on a bet, you better have full faith in yourself! Looks like Miley Cyrus had just that! Talk about a funny bet! Mega-producer Dr. Luke made a bet with Miley Cyrus over whether or not her song Wrecking Ball would ever climb all the way to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Up for grabs: was a Numi toilet worth $10,000!!! The toilet features a Bluetooth receiver, a heated seat and an LCD touch screen that allows its user to select from a number of other features! So sure enough, Miley Cyrus DID get to the top spot of the charts, and now she has a pricey toilet to show for it! Miley Cyrus said, "I'll be thinking of him every time I go." HAHA!

No one was injured in the fire.
Red Cross helped the three adults and three children who were displaced by the fire.

One user is an assistant to the other and the assistant marks messages as "categories" in Outlook which get pushed to Zimbra as tags then back down to Outlook on the other machine. At seemingly random times, all of their tags disappear from both the server and Outlook sides. I've looked around and can't find any bugs related to this. Has anyone else been seeing this behavior?

Surface Acoustic Wave Gas Sensor
Application ID: 2129
A surface acoustic wave (SAW) is an acoustic wave propagating along the surface of a solid material. Its amplitude decays rapidly, often exponentially, through the depth of the material.
SAWs are utilized in many kinds of electronic components, including filters, oscillators, and sensors. SAW devices typically apply electrodes to a piezoelectric material to convert an electric signal into a SAW, and then back again. The SAW response provides the information that the device is used to collect.
This model investigates the resonance frequencies of a SAW gas sensor. The sensor consists of an interdigitated transducer etched onto a piezoelectric substrate, covered with a thin film. The mass of the film increases as its material selectively adsorbs a chemical substance from the air. This causes a shift in resonance to a slightly lower frequency and thus information about the amount of species in the air.

Testimony :: Catherine A. Fitzpatrick
CIS Program Director - International League for Human Rights
My name is Catherine A. Fitzpatrick and I am CIS Program Director for the International League for Human Rights. I have followed the Helsinki process for 24 years. The League has published a study, about OSCE: Delivering on the Promise: Human Rights, OSCE Field Missions, and Election Activities
OSCE is frequently OBE'd -- an official of the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly (PACE) said this week that PACE "could not allow two members to go to war with each other," having in mind Russia and Georgia, while OSCE, with the same two members, remained silent on the issue. Today, it is the European Union, not the OSCE, exercising the greatest pull of reform on former communist countries in transition, by holding out the promise of membership with all its perks. It is the EU, not the OSCE wielding the power to really change laws and practices on an unprecedented level through its process of opening and closing chapters for accession. Next, the larger Council of Europe, which has less clout, is also often—to a far greater extent than OSCE these days--the chief "international community" human rights actor today through its power to decide whether to admit or not admit a member – and suspend them for bad behavior (as it has done with Azerbaijan, regarding admission, and it has done through threats to Russia and Ukraine). The inclusion/exclusion function of OSCE cannot ever be regained. Whereas the Council sets certain accession demands, like removal of the death penalty or removal of criminal libel statutes from penal codes and polices backsliding, OSCE, because it is supposed to be about "security" and "cooperation" forgoes such strong-handed methods to achieve compliance. The Council has wielded this power successfully at least in gaining focus on trouble spots if not much compliance. So what does the OSCE do? It presides over bad elections, legitimizing tyrants with its feeble renditions of evaluations such as "falls short of international standards," and then surveys the wreckage, often involving detentions of demonstrators and closure of independent media, and crying with survivors' guilt, issues even larger technical assistance grants, as vague and soft as tissues, to gloating, re-established governments in the faint hope that these might help things be better next time.
Without binding treaties and permanent peace-keeping troops on standby, without the willingness of those in capitals to use their clout through this multilateral institution, still, there is the greatest weapons OSCE as an institution has, as the sum of its better parts: 1) the validation of human rights victims' concerns through publicity of human rights violations and 2) the withholding of the legitimacy the institution confers for elections. By not recognizing elections or the leaders and parliamentary entities that result from them, by continuing to condemn violations of all agreements since Helsinki, the West and the serious-minded newly-emerging democracies, particularly in Eastern and Central Europe, can deflect the constant pull of the tide of the Soviet legacy.
To accomplish this mission, the organization must speak with a louder and more concerted voice and combine more serious human rights monitoring with public diplomacy about human rights violations. That means more critical reporting and more public response to cases and issues and more serious efforts to protect nascent and would-be civil society.
Excessive concerns about diplomatic niceties and failure to dramatically increase OSCE's public diplomacy about human rights concerns means that the victims and the societies at large, particularly in the most oppressive states within the OSCE, will view the U.S. and the West as complicit in tyranny, and they will bitterly conclude that our liberal notions of democracy and human rights are just so much window-dressing and hypocrisy. Maybe we could afford to allow this gap between rhetoric and reality persist before 9-11 – we cannot do so now. The role of U.S. public diplomacy within OSCE is particularly urgent given that others are likely to lag in this area.
Having allowed dictators to seal and legitimize their power bases through the last decade of sham elections, it is now time for the U.S to devote the next 10 years to a conscious strategy to undermine their oppression through a variety of serious and developed programs to promote the old Helsinki values of "the free flow of people and information across frontiers." Yes, there must be decidedly an "interference in internal affairs" as the Soviet locution still so often used today has it, because human rights monitoring and advocacy are explicitly recognized in the OSCE context not as "interference" and this value must be upheld.
The OSCE remains the "indispensable institution" as former Secretary of State Madeline Albright deemed it, precisely because of its 20 field activities, yet it must undergo radical reform to move it away from pointless election activity in states unprepared to make even the minimal democratic reforms necessary for authentic elections, and should move under U.S. pressure to more nuts-and-bolts human rights monitoring and protection work. . The field missions, even with all their problems of untrained or disengaged personnel, are the secret strength of the OSCE that distinguishes it from the other European bodies without field missions at all (or with far less missions), and with a smaller membership
1. Publicize Reports. OSCE must more systematically and deliberately publicize its own findings – even when states pressure it to withhold or abridge or delay reports. It may not seem like much to put up on a web site a biweekly report from diplomats, but it will help them to write them better and it will help validate the events on the ground that so often occur, but are never acknowledged by violator states or covered in state-controlled media
2. Advocate More Forcefully on Human Rights. OSCE missions should speak out more and engage in conscious and deliberate advocacy on behalf of victims of human rights. This need not be the shrill and shaming condemnation of an NGO, of course, but it can be a vocal expression of concern or even a constatation of facts made to the media. Such statements should not be left merely to the diplomats in Vienna or the Permanent Council. Human rights violations are best recorded and commented upon on the scene, not in remote capitals where victims cannot hear about them. The OSCE performance on this score is uneven. In the Balkans, frank statements are routinely made because of the dynamics of war and the presence of soldiers, perhaps. In Central Asia, there is barely a mention—indeed the at-first candid statements by the OSCE mission in Almaty describing the political persecution of former Pavlodar Oblast governor Ghalymzhan Zhaqiyanov and Mukhtar Ablyazov, former energy minister, were remarkable and, perhaps not surprisingly, stopped when Kazakhstani government pressure was put on the mission and the chair-in-office and the Permanent Council did not push back. Such local pressures would be resisted if there was a conscious, system-wide and centralized determination always and everywhere at least to describe publicly events involving major human rights violation.
3. Stop Torture. OSCE should not become consumed with the war on terrorism. The UN is already this through the Security Council and the Counter-Terrorism Committee, and of course responses to the tragic events of September 11 are being handled by individual states in any event, and not always with human rights uppermost in mind. Therefore, the OSCE should become preoccupied with how to make societies extremism-proof and how to prevent states from using 9-11 as a cover to abuse human rights through empowering the protectors of civil society and worry about "sustainable democracy" as much as they worry about "sustainable development". There is very little that can be sustained in countries where torture is rampant.
The roots of actual terrorists in the real world, who often come from the educated or semi-educated middle-class, are not found in poverty as such, although they can exploit the presence of poor people in their homelands in extremist ideologies purporting to benefit those disenfranchised. More often, the roots of extremism and terrorism are found in torture. Many terrorists are people who were once tortured in prison, or whose family members or colleagues or fellow religious believers were tortured. There is very little a torture victim can think of that works to avenge torture other than terror. So it is important to curb torture, which remains as a legacy of the Soviet era that is one of the main fuels of extremism and home-grown terrorism in the OSCE states, and also makes domestic movements vulnerable to export from international terrorist movements. The U.S. should extend support for the UN's Draft Optional Protocol Against Torture to be voted upon at the General Assembly this year
4. Decrease Election-Monitoring and Negotiate Core Standards for Pre-Election Conditions. Funding spent on election training and monitoring should be reduced greatly in those countries where it has proved futile and instead spent on more basic programs to protect human rights, including direct assistance of lawyers and journalists in small grants programs, not just training. Observation seldom deters fraud, the kind of fraud which takes place on the scale of an Azerbaijan or a Belarus. Without freedom of media and association, and with plenty of levers to inspire fear and/or dependency in the population, even a supposedly "free" election would yield democratized support for a dictator, as in Belarus. Bureaucrats looking for an election-monitoring budget often cite the demands of local opposition groups themselves for foreigners' presence, because they think they will mount enough pressure and play the "foreign card" to expose fraud. But they seldom have enough power in the first place to achieve a key pre-election goal, presence on the electoral commissions and access to the media. Achieving these OSCE pre-conditions doesn't require a big budget or a huge presence on the ground or lots of per diems, it just requires determination, centralized and systematized. Far more focus should go into bargaining for pre-election conditions to level the playing field.
Instead of re-inventing the wheel each time there is an election, through negotiations at the highest level, the OSCE nations should determine a standard, core minimum set of pre-election objectives that must routinely be met before OSCE will deploy its logistics-intensive and expensive machinery of election law analysis, negotiations among parties, election monitoring, and other types of election programming.
5. Place OSCE Missions in Every Member State. OSCE's more determinedly democratic elements should not cede a single field-mission presence and indeed push for more presence. Ideally, there should be mandatory OSCE mission deployment in every OSCE member capital so that they cannot be expelled and so that the system can gain more coherence. So much political effort has been squandered on deploying and underplaying missions in the first place and devising all kinds of elaborate or deliberately vague mandates for them that a radically different approach should be considered to establish an OSCE presence by default in each state, independent and separate from the host government. While this might seem like an impossible dream and an economic planner's nightmare, the UN maintains missions and offices and presences routinely all over the world for development work, and OSCE should do no less for human rights and democracy work. It means merely having small, even one-person intergovernmental offices in some states and strengthening the system as a whole by mandating at least a minimal presence in the areas of armed conflict and potential turmoil. Those states that refuse such basic missions should not be eligible for democracy or human rights assistance as states, and such funding should be spent in programming to support civil societies outside their homelands.
There are already 20 field activities, so the goal is nearly half-way met for 55 members. And most Western states already have offices or commissions such as this one which work on "Helsinki" issues. In addition to assisting democracy in the newly-independent states (not so new and not even so independent in some cases any more), Western democracies could work on cross-border issues like trafficking, migrant labor, refugee and asylum rights. In exchange for greater human rights scrutiny, countries in transition would understand that would get some concentrated efforts made on their chronic complaints about visa problems for their nationals and a coherent framework could be established to manage migrant workers flows and immigration – aspects of the EU accession process that will grow worse, not better.
6. Move From Thematics to Specifics, i.e. a Meeting on Anti-Semitism. There have been hundreds of anti-Semitic acts in France alone, and maiming and even murders from anti-Semitic boobytraps in Russia. We are surprised at the amount of resistance even in the U.S. to the proposal from NGOs at the last HDIM in September 2002 to devote one of the HD supplementary sessions in 2003 just to this topic, given the violent events across the region. Extremists (and liberals uncomfortable with confronting them) have a new-found profession of gleefully distinguishing legitimate criticism of Israel from anti-Semitism, and yet each time there is a protest demonstration, the signs promoting hatred and violence come out and belie their claim to be making distinctions, as do a wave of actual physical attacks on Jews. This urgent topic should not be contained only in the already-overloaded special thematic sessions of the HDIM itself or folded into a "religious freedom" workshop because it is not only about the freedom to practice a religion safely--many attacks occur outside of religious settings and anti-Semitism is an ethnic as well as religious issue. We should also not be forced to address anti-Semitism only in tandem with another newly-identified phenomenon, "Islamophobia," however much of equal concern are hate attacks on Muslims particularly since 9-11. These two types of racism have different dynamics and contexts and histories on the continent of Europe and elsewhere in the world and there is no need to artificially lump them together for the sake of political correctness or perceived pressure .
8. Provide External Programming for Civil Society and End To Round-tabling. The saga of the Belarus mission is emblematic of the impotence of both local missions, the chairs in office and other OSCE actors. First, sufficient political pressure was not brought to bear on Russia, which subsidizes Belarus extensively, politically and economically (despite Putin's grimaces) and nothing but hand-wringing accompanied the picking off of OSCE monitors one by one like ducks. If the states cannot stop expulsion or neutering of its missions, new programs outside the confines of oppressive countries have to be devised, "missions in exile."
Yes, the AMG in Minsk inappropriately meddled in Belarus' internal affairs, but not in the way the Belarusian bureaucrats might think. I believe the mission-inspired consultative council of political parties should not have been created at all, since it stepped on indigenous creations like the Rada, or council of democratic parties, and should never have persisted past the first reneging of the regime on promises to engage in good-faith dialogue with the opposition. And election monitoring is soft campaign money. Whichever group wins the election monitoring training contract has a war chest for the elections of sorts, and with the lack of experience and lack of transparency in a non-democratic country, it is not surprising that the experiment goes badly. The OSCE missions should stay out of the election monitoring business completely and
leave this to ODIHR and OSCE PA, and in this fashion the budgets for such activities are kept away from interference from the host state and heads of missions are kept from meddling in local politics and can focus on the basics like human rights monitoring.
If a mission cannot function in-country to support civil society even at a basic level, then the mission's human rights monitoring and training programs should be moved outside the country and run from Warsaw or neighboring countries. A country such as Belarus, which has set a bad precedent and weakened the entire system with its antics regarding its OSCE mission, should know that the OSCE system will respond by creating "off-campus" programming to benefit civil society. This means there must be an explicit, conscious effort by the U.S. to push ODIHR and OSCE PA and other bodies to subsidize attendance of Belarusians at the OSCE's own conferences, meetings and workshops as well as at various special meetings called to deal with the very crisis occurring in the country expelling the mission.
Another type of program to be jettisoned is the "round table" between officialdom and a select roster of GONGOs or NGOs or opposition or quasi-oppositional parties. There isn't a single country in crisis that has earned a round-table process which can only be accomplished (as it was in the 1980s in Eastern and Central Europe) through first legitimizing and validating opposition parties. Round-tables cannot take place when opposition leaders are in jail, as they are in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Belarus, and elsewhere where disastrous round-table activities have taken place.
The one dialogue effort OSCE should re-engage in is in Chechnya. Here, the PACE process has suffered from the constant obstruction of the head of its own Russian delegation when any Russian-Chechen talks are devised, so workarounds have to be created to jumpstart peace talks through other bodies. A Dutch head of mission was instrumental in helping to stop the 1994-1996 war in Chechnya and we look to the Dutch during their chair-in-office in 2003 to revisit these efforts. Furthermore, the existing OSCE mission in Chechnya, as constrained as it is, could be doing more public monitoring and reporting on such crises as the forced return to the Chechen Republic of internally-displaced persons who were previously in Ingushetia. Reports indicate that in compliance with a 20-point Russian federal plan, IDPs are facing cut-offs in humanitarian services, forcible closures of camps, and various incidents of coercion in an effort to compel them to return to Chechnya, although security is by no means established there.

The hundreds of faculty candidates who've visited campus the past 20 years typically ended their interviews in the office of R. Devadoss Pandian, vice president for academic affairs and dean of faculty. In his fifth floor office of Old Main, they all learned about his passion for teaching—and the No. 1 qualification for working at North Central College.
"You have to teach to every student in the class and in a class of 30 or 35 students, that's not a small thing," says Pandian, describing the qualities of a great teacher.

THOMASVILLE, N.C. - On the eve of the opening of the insurance exchange, small business owners attended a seminar on the Affordable Care Act at the Small Business Center at Davidson Community College.
Human resources and business consultant Debbie Wright spoke to small business owners about the requirements of the ACA.
Several people attended and Wright took questions from the audience.
According the U.S. Small Business Administration, "The Affordable Care Act includes a variety of measures specifically for small businesses that help lower premium cost growth and increase access to quality, affordable health insurance. Depending on whether you are self-employed, an employer with fewer than 25 employees, an employer with fewer than 50 employees, or an employer with 50 or more employees, different provisions of the Affordable Care Act may apply to you."

Nacin, Gibbons Family Honored By Glen Brand HOF
WATERLOO, Iowa – The 2014 Glen Brand Wrestling Hall of Fame class was announced earlier today. Former Cyclone grappler Al Nacin will be inducted as a distinguished member of the 2014 HOF class.
Nacin, who wrestled at Iowa State from 1970-75, was the Cyclones' first four-time All-American on the mat. The 1970-71 season was the first season freshman were eligible to compete at the collegiate level. Nacin's redhisrt was lifted when All-American 167-pounder Keith Abens suffered a broken ankle.
Head coach Harold Nichols moved All-American 177-pounder Rich Binek down to the 167 pounds, and called on Nacin to fill the void at 177 pounds. He shocked the wrestling world and advanced to the NCAA title match where he fell 10-3 to in the 177 pounds NCAA title match to the No. 1 overall seed, Geoff Baum of Oklahoma State. Nacin proved early he would be a force to be reckoned with in the years to come.
Nichols opted to redshirt Nacin the following season in 1971-72 to prepare him for the move up to 190 pounds. Nacin, a native of Burbank, Ill., went on to finish fifth in 1973 and third in 1974 at 190 pounds.
Nacin finished his Cyclone career on top, as he won the 1975 190-pound NCAA title by way of an 8-4 decision over Iowa's Greg Stevens. His 39-2 NCAA title season earned him 1975 ISU Athlete of the Year honors.
Nacin's 109 career victories were the most in Iowa State wrestling history when he graduated in 1975. He now sits tied at No. 23 with David Zabriskie and Kurt Backes. Nacin was inducted into the ISU Letterwinner's Club Hall of Fame in 2008. He is one of 11 four-time All-Americans in the storied history of Cyclone wrestling.
Also to be honored at this year's induction ceremony is the Gibbons family, as it receives the 2014 Family Legacy Award. All four of the Gibbons' sons (Jim, Joe, Jeff and Tim) doned the Cardinal and Gold. Jim, Joe and Jeff all had outstanding careers at Iowa State.
Jim, the oldest son, was a three-time All-American and won the 1981 NCAA title at 134 pounds. After his wrestling career was over, Jim went on to become Harold Nichols predecessor, guiding the Cyclones to the 1987 NCAA team title and six top-five finishes in his seven years at the helm.
Joe was a four-time All-American and the 1985 NCAA champion at 142 pounds. Jeff was a two-time All-American and a key member of Iowa State's 1987 NCAA title team. All three brothers won multiple state championships at Ames High School.
The Glen Brand Wrestling Hall of Fame, established in 2002, honors the people who have made an impact on the sport of wrestling on a national level, or who have done extraordinary work in the state of Iowa.
Brand was a three-time All-American at Iowa State in the late 1940s. He was the 1948 NCAA champion at 174 pounds and then went on to win Olympic Gold in London that summer. Brand was Iowa State's first Olympic Gold Medalist.
A banquet to honor all the inductees in this year's HOF class and award winners is set for Saturday, June 7 at the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center in Waterloo, Iowa. For more information contact the National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum at (319) 233-0745.

MOUNDSVILLE - Bishop Donahue graduated the store last season. What remained was a group of comeback kids.
''Last three games, we've done the same thing,'' said Bishops coach Bob Kleeh, after he watched his team spot Cameron a 7-2 lead after an inning and a half, then storm back and win 8-7 in the bottom of the seventh inning Thursday.
''The first two innings, we were kinda lazy out there.''
Article Photos
Cameron's Cole Clutter takes off towards first as Bishop Donahue catcher Austin Cunningham looks on during the third inning of their game Thursday.
It's true.
The Dragons sent 10 to the plate in the first inning and scored four runs despite managing only one hit - an infield single by Austin Pegg.
Devin Starcher, David Klug, and Jordan Hart all drove in runs via bases-loaded walks and Ryan Clutter grabbed an RBI on an error.
It was more of the same in the second inning, when eight Dragons (1-3) went to the plate and three more scored. Starcher had a two-run double and Clutter singled in a run in the frame.
The Bishops (4-2) got two in the bottom of the first on a two-run single by Hunter Kaschke, but they were still staring at that 7-2 deficit entering the fourth inning.
Cameron coach Eric James quietly wondered if it would be enough.
''You've got to be a shark when there's blood in the water,'' he told his players. ''You have to have a feeding frenzy. We don't have a team of trained killers. You could have heard a pin drop sitting out there in the outfield if you were watching the game. They're a pretty quiet bunch.''
The Dragons had only one hit after the second inning after BD senior Philip Smith took over on the mound and worked 5 1/3 scoreless innings in his first varsity appearance on the mound.
''He throws strikes,'' Kleeh said. ''That's what we ask him to do.''
Meanwhile, Bishop Donahue slowly chipped away, getting two in the fourth on RBI singles by Andrew and Austin Cunningham and two in the fifth on a Kaschke RBI and a run-producing single off the bat of Matt Vucelik.
The Bishops got the equalizer in the sixth on Smith's screaming sac fly to center that completed the comeback and tied the score at 7-7.
''We chipped away and chipped away,'' Kleeh said.
Cameron had somewhat of a chance in the top of the seventh as Clutter led off with a single, but he was cut down attempting to steal second base, and Kaschke, the Bishops' third pitcher, slammed the door with a pair of strikeouts.
Bishop Donahue loaded the bases with one out and the winning run came home when Andrew Cunningham hit a bouncer to third where no play was made.
''We didn't get it all at once,'' Kleeh said. ''We had to work for each run we got. We got some work there at the bottom of the lineup with the Cunninghams. ''They had great at-bats, extended the inning to get the top of the order.
''Really, it was a whole team effort.''
Mark Walker suffered the loss as he threw a complete game, striking out seven.
''I didn't want to let go of him, that's for sure. I knew he wanted it,'' James said. ''We just put ourselves in a situation there a couple of times during the course of the game where we had two routine plays that should be made and it didn't happen.
''It's just unfortunate that we didn't get this one.''

When I click on a .doc attachment it does not open. Other types of attachments open as expected including .xls files. Instead of opening I see a "save as" file dialog box briefly flash on the screen. It seems as if an attempt is being made to save the document to my desktop. a second attempt to open the file does not result in the dialog box appearing. I am using the network version of Zimbra 5.09 although the problem occurred on the last several releases. I use FF3, Vista, and Open Office 2.4. I changed the .doc file association to notepad but the attachment still would not open.
Anyone have any ideas?

Per another thread I started, I have found that SPAM is being sent through my Zimbra server. In the past two days two of my Zimbra accounts, both of which I personally know the account owner, have had occurances of an email being sent to 50 recipients throughout the day.
I know the account owners are not sending the SPAM. The server is a per-the-instructions Zimbra install with nothing else on the server - it is a Zimbra mail-only server. Both accounts also do not use Outlook or the Outlook connector, both accounts only utilize the web-client to access their accounts.
In trying to get a handle on the emails being sent, I have:
(1) Attempted to have the individuals change their password - the SPAM emails are still being sent.
(2) I have turned off "locked" their accounts - the SPAM emails are still being sent.
(3) I changed the postfix smtpd_recipient_limit to 49, being the emails are being sent to 50 recipients - regardless the emails are still being sent to 50 users.
These users actually SEE THE EMAILS in their Sent Folder. Further, all of the recipients to which these emails have been sent are now in the users "Emailed Contacts" list. In my mind this would show that the culprit is actually connecting to Zimbra as the user.
I have been trying to troubleshoot this or find a stop-gap for 9 hours now. I find this rather alarming and a serious issue that I want to get stopped - I hate SPAM! I have even opened a support ticket through Zimbra being I am a Network customer - I am willing to pay the cost of a support ticket for help; however, their SLA is 48 hours and I have not yet heard anything from them.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Here is a portion of the zimbra.log during a send from this occurance. I have removed my servername and the from email address:
Aug 23 10:01:44 postfix/smtpd[30658]: 863D638CC51F: client=localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]
Aug 23 10:01:46 postfix/cleanup[30814]: 863D638CC51F: message-id=<9660788.17891187881267810.JavaMail.root@SERVER NAME-HERE>
Aug 23 10:01:48 postfix/qmgr[27904]: 863D638CC51F: from=<EMAIL-ADDRESS-HERE>, size=4747, nrcpt=50 (queue active)
It would appear that the emails are coming from a process on the local machine. The server is a Redhat RHEL4 Server with all patches up to date.
Doing a ps -ef, the only "suspicious" processes I see are:
/usr/bin/perl /tmp/.swatch_script.xxxx
However, I am by no means an expert on the processes which should be running for a Zimbra install.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

|130 N. Interocean Ave.: A look at hometown history from grocery store to newspaper
|Written by Darci Tomky
From store shelves, meat lockers and bakery goods to printing presses, office supplies and computers, the building at 130 N. Interocean Ave. has sure come a long way since 1935.
"This building has seen a lot," said Brenda Brandt, current publisher of The Holyoke Enterprise which now occupies the building. Located just north of the stoplight on the west side of the street, it is a structure that has witnessed much of Holyoke's history for the past eight decades.
Grocery store built
On June 12, 1935, brothers-in-law Merle O. (Sam) Powell and Otto Brethouwer purchased land from Ed Hethcote at lot 5, block 11 in the original town of Holyoke for the expansion of their Holyoke Market. According to the Holyoke centennial history book, they made plans to move their IGA (Independent Grocers Alliance) store across the street to its new home at 130 N. Interocean Ave.
With groundbreaking on July 1, 1935, the July 4 edition of the Enterprise reported brick laying for the new building would begin Friday, July 5 after the pouring of concrete for the basement and the laying of the subfloor the previous week. Construction continued through July and August, 1935.
White stones with the IGA emblem were placed on both sides of the front of the building and a date stone reading "July 1935" was placed at the top center. They were crafted by Arthur Bim, the man in charge of the city's dump ground, who was reported to have many years of experience at the stone cutting trade.
By the July 25, 1935 issue of the Enterprise, a skylight had arrived, a roof put on and the structure was ready for celotex lathing and plastering. In addition to the skylight, the building also boasted of having large windows in the front which would provide plenty of light as well as white walls and "an air of spaciousness."
The Enterprise said, "The building is 25 by 80 feet, and has a wall of tile within the outer brick wall, making it one of the best business buildings in the town."
With the big move on Aug. 19, 1935, a multitude of customers exclaimed "It seems as though we're in a big city," according to the Aug. 22 Enterprise.
Improvements for the new store included a modern meat display case and a vapor cooling system for fruits and vegetables. Refrigerators and cases were painted white to harmonize with the rest of the store while an unbroken line of shelving lined the north wall, part of the west side and a generous section to the south.
Powell and Brethouwer also introduced a new "serve yourself" system of trade in the center of the store where customers could help themselves instead of being waited on by clerks.
A full-page advertisement in the Sept. 5, 1935 Enterprise announced the two-day grand opening sale complete with a three-piece Hawaiian orchestra and free iced tea, coffee and cold meat sandwiches. Sales included Hershey's chocolate bars, three for 11¢; Holyoke bread, three large loaves for 25¢; Camay Soap, four bars for 19¢; and Van Camp's Pork and Beans, three medium-sized cans for 19¢.
The ad also reminded customers to tune into KOA every morning for the IGA Musical Menu.
Holyoke Market had a meat market in conjunction with a slaughter house located on the west edge of Holyoke near the Frenchman Creek bed. Jacob Jensen coordinated the buying as he selected the farmers' animals for trade-ins for their groceries.
In the 1930s, Holyoke had two big shopping days: Tuesday and Saturday. Tuesday was sale day at the Hoover Sale Pavillion while on Saturday nights, almost everyone came to town, left their orders with the store clerks and picked up the goods around midnight after the show or dance at the Legion Hall.
Grocery store tradition continues
Over the next three decades, the grocery store would see many new owners and changes.
Early employees at the Holyoke Market included Wilbur Burchett, Cody (D.D.) Patrick and Erwin Weber who jointly managed the store beginning in Sept., 1943 when Powell and Brethouwer semi-retired.
In 1945, the lot to the north (present day La Mexicanita) was purchased from Fred G. Fiedler, and a frozen food locker plant, bakery and coffee shop were added. Earl Isham and his wife came to Holyoke to run the bakery.
Newspaper advertisements from 1945 reported the bakery had just received an up-to-date high-speed mixer making it "one of the best equipped bakeries of any in a city of this size." And don't forget that "About 9 a.m. is a good time to hook a hot doughnut." Chocolate cakes were sold on Thursdays while the bakery promoted their white cakes on Fridays.
Burchett went on to buy the Amherst Grocery Store in 1952 which he operated until 1979.
The Hofmeister brothers—Willard, Dale and Melvin—bought the store in December, 1955, and the name changed to the Holyoke Red and White Store. Many years later, Dale bought the Holyoke Furniture Company building at 123 S. Interocean Ave. (present day J's Home Furnishings) where he established a grocery store in 1971.
An account in the Holyoke centennial history book noted the community had five grocery stores in 1957 including the IGA store, Safeway, Kelly's, Church's and Wayne's Grocery.
Still a grocery store, the Hofmeisters sold 130 N. Interocean to J. Wesley Gurney of South Dakota, and Leo and Cecile Upoff, Fred and Vivian Thietje and Lyle McCormick were all employees.
Jack and Jill would be the next store name when it sold in March, 1962. Advertisements listed goods such as Del Monte Catsup,17¢; Karo Syrup, 39¢; and Wisk laundry detergent, 75¢.
The Holyoke Enterprise moves into building
After 31 years of grocery store activity, 130 N. Interocean Ave. transformed into the new location of The Holyoke Enterprise. Newspaper owners Max and Hazel Starbuck purchased the building in December, 1966.
The Enterprise has a long history of covering news in Holyoke since its establishment in July, 1900. It began as the Phillips County Republican until changing its name to The Holyoke Enterprise in 1911.
The newspaper was previously located at 138 S. Interocean Ave. which was positioned between present-day Sullivan's Appliance and Air and First Pioneer Bank according to current Enterprise publisher Brenda Brandt.
According to Loral Johnson's article in the July 8, 1999 centennial issue, the Enterprise used the letterpress method of production for its first 74 years. "That meant that all material had to be set in metal or wood form so that ink rollers could run over the type, after which paper was placed on it for an impression print," said Johnson.
With the move came major mechanical changes for the newspaper to improve the letterpress printing. Johnson noted the old single-revolution Cranston press was replaced with a much faster and more versatile double-revolution Miehle press. It was housed in the northwest section of the building (present-day La Mexicanita).
The Feb. 23, 1967 issue reported the new press was being brought from Cortez in pieces and was being reassembled in the new location ready for printing March 2. With little "down time," pages were put together at the new location and printed at the old location before the new press was in place.
Other additions were a Ludlow hot-type casting machine, an Elrod border casting machine, a photo-lathe photo engraving machine, as well as having one of the linotype machines retro-fitted with a teletype (TTS) system, all improving the printing process.
In addition to the newspaper business, the building was also home to the Enterprise's office supply store, located in the north part of the building.
One well-known part of the Enterprise was "Clark's Corner," a one-page column by Ted Clark who worked there from 1951-68.
A monumental change took place on May 24, 1973 when the newspaper transitioned from the old letterpress method of printing to the new, modern offset method. According to Johnson's article, "A photographic image of printed material could be transferred to a plate. Through a dampening and inking process the image is printed onto an impression blanket and then offset onto paper as it rolls through a press at high speed."
Starbuck, long-time newspaper man and owner of the Enterprise, was awarded the "Golden Makeup Rule Award" in 1977 for 50 years of continuous service.
More changes would come to the newspaper business when Starbuck retired in March, 1977 and Loral and Elna Johnson of Imperial, Neb. took over ownership of the Enterprise. It was a memorable month for the Johnsons as their first issues reported headlines of the infamous blizzard of 1977.
The pages of the Enterprise were prepared in Holyoke and then printed in Imperial, Neb where the Johnsons also owned The Imperial Republican.
Shortly after purchasing the Enterprise, the Johnsons built a wall that closed off the north part of the building. After the technological change from letterpress to offset printing, the newspaper required a much smaller space without the large printing press. According to Brandt, the north part of the building was then rented to other businesses including Montgomery Ward, a hardware store, the Video Den, Body Works, Silver Screen Video and La Mexicanita.
Other remodeling projects included building a publisher's office in the front part of the building.
Wally Machamer became managing editor when Johnsons bought the paper in 1977, followed by Brandt in 1980.
Because of the grocery store history of the building, Brandt said they made an "environmental move" in the 1980s to deactivate the cooling units in the ceiling, facilitated by a refrigeration company from Nebraska.
In the fall of 2005 the building underwent some upgrades with a major clean-up and painting project.
Of course, newspaper technology is always changing with advancement in digital cameras and computer technology. Instead of "pasting up" pages, they are now "paginated" on computers and are digitally sent to Imperial, Neb. for printing. Layout, fonts and story ideas have also been revamped throughout the years.
To sum it up, Lot 5, Block 11 at 130 N. Interocean Ave. has seen its share of changes in the last 74 years from grocery stores and finally to a newspaper, and it will surely see many transformations in the future.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Women's Knickers in stock than that.View Similar Products
Giordana FormaRed Carbon Women's Bib Knickers $0.00
At 7000 feet, our winters are difficult. But, your winter might be more like our fall -- for your sake, we hope that's true. If you're in a more temperate climate, full bib tights are going to be overkill. Your legs need something that will keep them warm without overheating, keep them dry from the water on the road, and all the while provide the utmost in comfort and fit. We know that this sounds like your three wishes while you're rubbing a lamp, but each of these characteristics are embodied in the Giordana FormaRed Carbon Women's Bib Knickers.
Giordana's FormaRed bib knickers are constructed from a sophisticated blend of fabrics that share in the single purpose of keeping you warm. And as its name suggests, the bib knickers have a wind-resistant front panel to stave off the chills of riding. However, the name won't tell you that the bib knickers also use the SuperRoubaix AZ material to keep you protected from wheel-spray. The seat panel of FormaRed uses this thick, stretchy, and breathable material for its water-repellent qualities. Covering the quads is Giordana's bread-and-butter winter-weight fabric, SuperRoubaix. This material uses an interlocking, microfiber knit construction that creates a highly breathable and warming loft. But, Giordana didn't only place it on the quads for warmth, SuperRoubaix is also highly stretchable and provides a slight compression that dissipates lactic acid buildup. Rounding out the knickers' construction, the knees and upper-calves are made from the brand new SuperRoubaix Carbon. Sharing the same interlocking knit as SuperRoubaix, SR Carbon controls the stretch of the knit in order to isolate muscles for resistance to early fatigue. Additionally, the carbon fiber blocks out static and rogue atmospheric electrical interference for an increased anaerobic output. Altogether, the materials work in harmony to keep you insulated, protected from the elements, and riding at your best.
For fit, the FormaRed Carbon jersey uses a multi-panel design that's been designed to complement the female form. And when combined with the malleable fabrics, the anatomic design provides a complete freedom of movement. However, to preserve the fit while in movement, Giordana included a silicone gripper at the cuffs. Ultimately, though, the bib straps provide the most stability to the fit of the knickers. Combining strength with comfort, the uppers' straps flow between the breasts instead of over them. This solidifies the security of the fit and minimizes both abrasion and cumbersome adjustments while in the saddle. Also, the 'rear window' over the small of the back is constructed from the Naxos Mesh material. With the FormaRed uppers, security doesn't come at the cost of abrasion and sweat.
The bib knickers' chamois is one that Giordana touts as being the most advanced in the industry -- the W.Cirro O.F.. We don't deal in absolutes, but we can say that it's the first chamois we've heard of with Aloe Vera particles directly infused into the threads of the microfiber. Aloe is not only a natural bacteria fighter, but its implementation in the fiber provides a cooling effect that protects and heals during activity. Below the skin layer, the Cirro has a 4mm-thick pad of waffled-texture expanding memory foam. The texture aids in ventilation by moving moisture to the perimeter of the chamois where accelerated evaporation can occur. The final layer of the chamois is a thick section of hand-sewn open cell padding with recessed channels for pressure relief. These technologies amount to a chamois that won't get wet and nasty 100 miles into a ride, let alone 20.
To enhance visibility in low-light conditions, Giordana incorporated reflective treatments on the calves of the knickers.
The Giordana FormaRed Carbon Women's Bib Knickers are available in the color Black/aquazero and in five sizes from X-Small to X-Large.

Farrah Fawcett, whose stunning looks and blinding smile made her a pop icon of the 1970s, has died of cancer. She was 62.
Her spokesman, Paul Bloch, said Fawcett died Thursday morning in a Santa Monica hospital. Her 2 1/2-year battle with cancer was depicted in the TV documentary "Farrah's Story."
She burst on the scene in 1976 as one-third of the crime-fighting trio in the hit ABC show "Charlie's Angeles." A poster of her in a clingy swimsuit sold in the millions.
Fawcett left the show after one season but had a flop on the big screen with "Somebody Killed Her Husband." She turned to more serious roles in the 1980s and 1990s, winning praise playing an abused wife in "The Burning Bed."

Lawmakers who said they were determined to avoid an unprecedented government default remained at an impasse over the raising the nation's debt limit Saturday as prospects of economic chaos loomed.
Senators were expected to continue talking even though their efforts publicly came to an abrupt halt Friday evening after the Democratic-controlled Senate voted 59-41 to table Republican House Speaker John Boehner's bill, effectively killing it less than two hours after the House passed it.
Democrats opposed the measure because it would require another debt-limit debate early next year.
After the tabling vote, Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid and Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky could not agree on how to proceed on a bill by Reid. McConnell wanted a filibuster, requiring a 60-vote supermajority to move Reid's bill forward, and Reid wanted a procedure allowing his bill to move with a simple majority. Reid said McConnell refused negotiate with him.
Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., told MSNBC's "The Last Word" that McConnell had said he will not negotiate with Reid, just with President Barack Obama.
The Senate adjourned until 1 p.m. EDT Saturday was scheduled to take up a vote on Reid's bill at 1 a.m. Sunday. The Republican-controlled House planned a 1 p.m. Saturday vote on Reid's proposal, McConnell said, noting the House vote on Reid's bill would precede the Senate's.
Boehner's plan, which passed the House 218-210 with no Democratic support, would have raised the debt ceiling $900 billion, cut spending $917 billion over a decade and call for a balanced-budget amendment before the limit could be raised again, presumably next year.
Senate Democrats had vowed to block it in favor of Reid's longer-term $2.4 trillion debt limit increase with about $2.2 trillion in spending cuts. Reid revised the bill Friday to essentially allow the president to raise the debt ceiling in steps, as McConnell had previously suggested. Through a complex legislative process, Congress could disapprove later debt-ceiling hikes with a two-thirds vote in each chamber, Reid said.
After the Senate vote, Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said, "For the second time, the House has passed a reasonable, common-sense plan to raise the debt limit and cut spending and, for the second time, Sen. Reid has tabled it. The responsibility to end this crisis is now entirely in the hands of Sen. Reid and President Obama."
Boehner said his bill was necessary "after I stuck my neck out a mile trying to get an agreement with the president of the United States. I stuck my neck out a mile. And I put revenues on the table in order to try to come to an agreement to avert us being where we are."
"But a lot of people in this town can never say yes. This house has acted and it is time for this administration to put something on the table, tell us where you are."
Boehner said his bill would cut spending by more than the increase in the debt limit, impose spending caps to restrain future spending, and require Congress to send states a balanced budget amendment before the ceiling could be raised again.
Boehner on Thursday failed to round up enough support for his plan, exposing a rift in the Republican Party. But he tweaked the bill and told the House Friday evening that it was necessary to pass his plan "for the sake of our economy" and to "end this crisis now."
Rep. Kathy Hochul, D-NY, told the House before the vote, "Never, never has there been an intentional disaster perpetrated by the very people who were sent here to be the caretakers of this country. ... Am I really supposed to tell the greatest generation that when they passed us the torch, we dropped it because we couldn't compromise?"
After the vote, Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash., was one of many House members react on the floor.
"This House, led by the Republicans, has put every state, city, every university that writes bonds at risk… because of this foolishness," McDermott said. "We need a clean lifting of the debt limit."
The White House called again for compromise.
"The bill passed today in the House with exclusively Republican votes would have us face another debt ceiling crisis in just a few months by demanding the Constitution be amended or America defaults," said a statement from the White House. "This bill has been declared dead on arrival in the Senate."
"Now that yet another political exercise is behind us, with time dwindling, leaders need to start working together immediately to reach a compromise that avoids default and lays the basis for balanced deficit reduction," the White House said, backing Reid's plan and echoing comments President Barack Obama made earlier in the day.
"Any solution must be bipartisan," said Obama from the Diplomatic Room at the White House. "We're in rough agreement," said the president. "There are plenty of ways out of this mess."
"The time for putting party first is over," he added. "It's time to step up and show the leadership the American people expect."
He later reiterated his call to action on Twitter: "The time for putting party first is over. If you want to see a bipartisan #compromise, let Congress know. Call. Email.Tweet. --BO"
Shortly after the president's speech, GOP lawmakers announced plans to tweak the House bill with hopes of gaining the votes needed for passage.
The balanced budget amendment was a key demand of rebellious conservatives who withheld their votes from the legislation on Thursday night.
Earlier, an aide who attended Boehner's meeting with the GOP conference told NBC News, "If we pass this today, we will have sent not one, but two bills to the Senate that would end this crisis. All that will stand between the American people and a resolution to this crisis will be the Senate, which has passed nothing."
Reid, from Nevada, said he had invited McConnell to join him in negotiations. "I know the Senate compromise bill Democrats have offered is not perfect in Republican eyes. Nor is it perfect for Democrats," Reid said. "But together, we must make it work for all of us. It is the only option."
But McConnell dismissed the Democratic effort, arguing that it stands no chance in the Republican-controlled House, and he accused Obama of pushing the nation to the brink of an economic abyss.
Concerns about a U.S. default on Aug. 2 continued to reverberate around markets Friday, with stocks down again. While investors have been jittery for weeks, the inability this week of Republicans to even manage to get their own party to agree on a plan has reinforced those fears with just days to go.

I'd like call the Get Calendar method from a Javascript AJAX request in my application and return a JSON response of the calendar data. Is there a way to make a request to get a token with username & password and then use that with the mode auth=qp & zauthtoken? Conversely, if there is an auth method I am missing where I could just use username and password but that does not seem to work either.
I'm getting a 401 error saying I must authenticate. I am sending user and password along with the request in the traditional XmlHttpRequest object way. This is not from a browser however, so I am not receiving cross domain browser errors.
