Take one for the team
Healthcare | The shape of healthcare in America rests on whether Nancy Pelosi can convince enough Democrats to cast a potentially career-ending vote
WASHINGTON-In a statue-lined busy Capitol Hill hallway just off the House floor, Congressman Allen Boyd, a moderate Democrat from Florida, outlined to a news camera all the reasons-repeated ad nauseam by lawmakers during the past year-why the nation's healthcare system needs changing. "So you are ready to support Obama's revised plan?" the television journalist interrupted. A larger-than-life statue of early 20th-century humorist Will Rogers, a slight smirk on his face, stood watching in a corner as Boyd replied, "Well, now I didn't say that."
Will Rogers, in top political satire mode, once said, "I belong to no organized party. I am a Democrat." Those words still ring true nearly a century later: It is Democrats against Democrats here as the healthcare debate moves toward a conclusion.
Indeed, Congress is tipping off its own version of March Madness just in time for the frenzy of the annual NCAA men's basketball tournament. But instead of 65 teams, this bracket contains the roughly 435 individual members of the House who are about to take what is sure to be the biggest vote of 2010. Despite yearlong efforts by both voters and Republicans to stop the Democrats' overhaul, the Democratic leadership is still fighting for Obamacare.
But in what could be healthcare's climax, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is asking Democrats once again to put their careers on the line for a controversial vote that she and other leaders would like to hold before fence-sitting lawmakers face constituents during the Easter recess.
With this last healthcare battle to be fought in the House, don't be surprised if Pepto-Bismol sales suddenly spike at Capitol Hill-area pharmacies. Skittish House members are weary about going on the healthcare record again just four months after the chamber narrowly passed its $1 trillion plan last November, 220 to 215.
The margins have gotten tighter since then: The sole Republican yes vote, Rep. Joseph Cao of Louisiana, has said he will vote no on Healthcare Part Deux. And three of the 219 Democrats who voted yes are gone now through a death and two retirements.
That leaves Pelosi with exactly the 216 votes now needed to win a majority in the reconfigured House. But the idea that she actually has that number of votes may be Democratic optimism.
The focus is on the House because Democratic leaders have determined that their best hope in the post-Scott Brown-election world is to ask representatives to vote on the already-passed Senate version. But that contains one major problem for Rep. Bart Stupak, the pro-life Michigan Democrat who voted for the House's healthcare overhaul only after securing strong language forbidding the federal funding of abortion. That protective language is absent in the Senate bill and, so far, Stupak has signaled that he will choose principle over party.
Worse for Pelosi: Stupak claims he is one of a dozen Democrats ready to switch their healthcare votes from yes to no because the Senate bill could lead to taxpayer-funded abortions. If true, potential House yeses drop from 216 to 204. "Let me say this: This is not about abortion!" an exasperated Pelosi shouted to reporters last week. But at least a dozen of her House Democrats disagree.
What does this all mean? Her inflexibility when it comes to abortion, fueled by the pro-abortion lobbying machine, may kill the healthcare bill.
Three out of five voters in a recent poll agreed that abortion funding should have no place in healthcare legislation. These are numbers listened to by lawmakers who still want to be lawmakers next year. Since the Senate bill cannot be amended before the House votes, then the House will defeat the overhaul unless Pelosi is able to twist a dozen arms among the 39 Democrats who voted no last November. That's asking nearly a third of her colleagues to flip-flop in an election year when such a switch would lead to instant campaign commercials from rivals. Already the Cook Political Report lists 53 Democratic House seats as competitive in this year's election.
Where will Pelosi look to keep healthcare on life support? Here is WORLD's primer on a congressional drama that may rival this year's Final Four:
The Freshmen
Fourteen of the 39 Democrats who voted against the healthcare bill are new to Congress and cannot yet shield themselves behind the fortress of incumbency. That includes Maryland's Frank Kratovil, among the shakiest of House Democrats, whose margin two years ago was less than 1 percent of the vote in a district that was in Republican hands.
When a story circulated during the first week of March that Kratovil was undecided on his second healthcare vote, the National Republican Campaign Committee placed thousands of targeted phone calls to Kratovil's Eastern Shore district. By week's end Kratovil used GOP talking points to reassure voters that he would oppose the current healthcare bill.
"The way we are moving forward is perceived as all or nothing. I don't think it needs to be zero sum," Kratovil told the Capitol News Service, echoing the Republican refrain that healthcare is best tackled using a step-by-step approach.
"He is trying to protect his seat," says Diana Waterman, 48, who works for a real estate company in Kratovil's district. "If he votes in favor of this bill, it will be the last nail in his coffin."
Instead of orating about healthcare, Kratovil has been spending March touting a Republican-sounding small business tax relief proposal that he authored. Similar posturing by other Democratic freshmen suggests that Pelosi will find few takers here.
The McCain Democrats
Thirty-one of the 39 Democrats who voted no in November represent districts won by Sen. John McCain in the 2008 presidential election-including Florida's Allen Boyd, interviewed near the Will Rogers statue. No word on whether Boyd repeated his TV camera healthcare backpedal ("Now, I didn't say that") later that same day when he was one of 31 Democrats invited to a private White House reception. No doubt arm-twisting occurred there as President Obama continues to look for a way to declare any healthcare victory.
Pelosi has publicly asked colleagues to vote for healthcare even if it jeopardizes their political careers. But the Democratic leadership's best Shakespearean "band of brothers" speeches have so far not rounded up even a "happy few" in the McCain districts willing to follow Pelosi's charge. Of course, the seats of Pelosi and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer are secure, while the same thing cannot be said for these McCain Democrats.
The Fiscal Conservatives
Most fiscally conservative Democrats, known as Blue Dogs, are refraining from going on the healthcare hunt. Of the 39 Democrats who voted against healthcare in November, 24 are Blue Dogs, who prefer cost containment measures to coverage expansion. Rep. Jim Marshall, a Blue Dog from Georgia, told Fox News this week that Obama's healthcare plan equals "continued explosive costs. We're bankrupting the country over this."
This concern is not just limited to Southern Blue Dogs: Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin, a South Dakota Democrat and leader of the Blue Dog coalition, told reporters she will "not vote for the Senate bill as is."
House members are being asked to vote for a Senate bill with the promise that some of its less palatable elements will be tenderized in a revised version that would then have to pass the Senate with just a simple majority. That means Blue Dogs would have to approve a bill that is loaded down with controversial, budget-busting kickbacks to states like Nebraska, Louisiana, and Florida.
"What they are asking House Democrats to do is to hold hands, jump off a cliff, and hope [Senate Majority Leader] Harry Reid catches them," explained Lamar Alexander, the Tennessean who is the Senate's third-ranking Republican.
"The Senate has given us a lot of reason not to trust them," Blue Dog Rep. Jason Altmire, D-Pa., who is listed as a top prospect for switching his no vote, told Fox News Sunday.
The Retirees
Six House Democrats who opposed the healthcare bill in November are retiring this year. They are being pressured to change their votes as a legacy to their party since they no longer will have to face constituents.
Perhaps preparing for such a flip, one of these retirees, Rep. Bart Gordon, D-Tenn., released a statement praising Obama's revised plan as moving in a "more fiscally responsible direction." But another retiring Democrat, Rep. Brian Baird of Washington, told CNN that "I don't think this bill is what I would like to see us do."
Meanwhile, another exiting Democrat who voted for the overhaul, Rep. Marion Berry of Arkansas, could switch to a no vote after he ripped the White House for marginalizing moderate Democrats during his retirement announcement.
The Heritage Foundation's House expert, Eric Heis, sees "more people going from a yes to a no than from no to yes. They are scared about losing their seats."
Of the Democrats who voted for the overhaul, 18 reside in districts won by McCain in 2008, and they are likely reconsidering their yes votes.
Forced to vote on a Senate healthcare bill that they have repeatedly blasted as inferior to their version, their armor may soon start to crack. And groups like pro-life Susan B. Anthony List (spending $500,000 for a three-week campaign) and the League of American Voters ($250,000 a week) are helping the fissure through a barrage of mailings, automated calls, and television and radio ads in Democratic districts. While no November yeses have yet announced a switch, at least one, Rep. Michael Arcuri of New York, is leaning toward voting no: "There would have to be some dramatic changes in it," he told the Utica, N.Y.-based Observer-Dispatch. Other yes lawmakers from North Dakota, Oregon, Nevada, California, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia have refused to commit when pressed by local media.
While Pelosi is resigned to losing seats this fall, it appears that many of her colleagues see voting for healthcare as a likely career ender. So why are Democrats continuing to play a game of healthcare chicken with American voters? It appears to be a fight of ideology over practicality: Liberals see their Washington majorities as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to expand the role of the federal government, turning Uncle Sam into Uncle Sam, M.D.
"Congressional leaders are willing to throw their rank and file under the bus," Phil Kerpen with Americans for Prosperity said. "They think it is worth losing an election over."
"This is the Holy Grail," added Bob Adams with the League of American Voters. "Democrats know very well that if they put it into place it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to take it down."
If so, then wavering House members would be wise to recall another Will Rogers quote: "Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for."
Maybe there is a reason his statue stands just outside the House chamber.

MSP-C President and internal Content King takes a look at Coke's approach to content marketing, its shortcomings, and what other brands can learn from it.
Journalist Julio Ojeda-Zapata is using Google Glass and GoPro cameras to tell stories from unique perspectives. But he says the wearable technology still needs a lot of work.
Most companies building a strategy don't actually ask the right question, but rather, they focus on how to sell a product. And even they get to "Why," the answer should guide how companies behave, promote and relate to their customers. MSP Communications President Gary Johnson explains more about what really matters.
What's in store for content marketing next year? Juliet Stott compiles the thoughts of content marketing experts who see brands becoming publishers and using more grown-up metrics -- among other things. Joe Pulizzi, Ann Handley, Jay Baer and others weigh in on what to expect in 2014.
Corporate marketers want to develop more comprehensive and authentic communications with their customers, but they struggle with how to get past product promotion and tell meaningful, resourceful stories. MSP-C recently sat down with Jim Cuene, new VP of Marketing at GoKart Labs, to get his thoughts on this perplexing dilemma.
Juliet Stott informs readers that print is taking a bow as digital revolutionizes the content marketing world. Read her report from across the pond.
Why are so many content marketing pros in a panic thinking they need to compete with established publishers? Probably because many of us remain under the influence of the push attitude ingrained in our marketing psyches.
Marketing innovator Tim Brunelle explains content creators should perhaps be called context creators. Here's why they need to look to highly specified strategy now more than ever before.
As VP/Global Integrated Marketing Strategist for Intel Corporation, Pam Didner is a ubiquitous player of renown in the digital space. She agreed to respond to a "Content Kings" Q&A conducted by MSP-C president Gary Johnson. Pam, as expected, provided a highly interactive landscape from which to answer questions, ranging from storytelling and creative packaging to the paradigm shift in consumer purchase journeys. We're sure you'll enjoy her seasoned and expert perspectives.

2009: A Year in Review
On Nov. 14 2008, it was announced that the Eurozone (European Union Member States) had gone into recession, and on Nov. 27, the European (EU) unveiled the EU Recovery Plan which aimed to pump billions of euros into the market to boost economies throughout Europe. On Dec. 1, the National Bureau of Economic Research said the United States had been in recession since Dec. 2007, and the U.S. government enacted a stimulus bill in February valued at nearly $800 billion. While the global economy slogged through 2009, the satellite sector performed well overall and set the stage for 2010.
Financial Moves
While most analysts and executives considered the satellite sector recession-proof, or at least recession-resistant, due to strong fundamentals and long-term contracts, there were financial bumps in the road for some companies. DBSD North America, formerly known as ICO North America, a subsidiary of ICO Global Communications, filed for bankruptcy protection in the United States in May, as the U.S. MSS operator began to feel the heat. Perhaps the most high-profile bankruptcy of the year took place in June, when Sea Launch, announced its intention to seek Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The move caught many by surprise, says Marco Caceres, senior analyst at the Teal Group. "Their main problem was cash flow. Their costs have gone up. I read that their suppliers in Russia and Ukraine had increased the costs of their materials and services. I think that has impacted them. I don't think it is do with lack of business. Their backlog is pretty good." Sea Launch's fate remains in doubt, although many hope it can emerge from bankruptcy protection to remain competitive in the launch services market. Intelsat has pledged to do all it could to help the operator. "Sea Launch is not on its own. We do not want to see liquidation," Intelsat CEO David McGlade said during Euroconsult's World Satellite Business Week in September.
The other major bankruptcy involved Asian satellite operator ProtoStar. The startup filed for bankruptcy in July, and the operator's downfall, according to many, was not due to the economic gloom but rather poor management. "It shows that you can launch satellites that are not coordinated, and they can interfere with existing satellites," Peter Jackson, AsiaSat's CEO, said at the time of the filing. Intelsat won the bidding for the ProtoStar 1 satellite in October with a $210 million offer. ProtoStar is scheduled to auction the ProtoStar 2 satellite in December. In November, Asia Broadcast Satellite (ABS) announced that it will acquire Mabuhay Satellite Corp., gaining control of the Agila-2 satellite, built by Space Systems/Loral and launched in August 1997. The spacecraft carries C-band and Ku-band transponders that cover the Philippines, China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, and ABS also will own Mabuhay's Subic Space Center, a satellite communications facility in the Philippines.
U.K. sports broadcaster Setanta Sports went into administration in June as the battle to compete with BSkyB for sports broadcasting rights in the United Kingdom proved too difficult. Setanta's exit led to ESPN gaining live English Premier League soccer rights for the first time as the North American broadcasting giant aims to become more of a presence in Europe.
There were some other notable events in 2009. Not least, GlobalStar announcing in March that it received $574 million in financing from Coface, France's export credit agency, which it can use to acquire and launch satellites. In a similar vein, O3B Networks, another much talked about newcomer, announced a similar type funding deal with Coface in September.
The year will not be particularly remembered for any groundbreaking deals, but there was some activity. The most significant move may have been unveiled in October when Viasat announced it was going to acquire WildBlue for $568 million, which would create a U.S. satellite broadband powerhouse. From a technology standpoint, Rockwell Collins made a key move in April when announced it was acquiring Datapath, a satellite-based network communication solutions provider. The deal was valued at around $130 million and gave Rockwell Collins, a defense and aerospace company, greater possibilities in the satellite communications space.
Canada's International Datacasting Corp. made a pair of moves to strengthen its business prospects, acquiring the radio and television network product lines, including HD and SD digital video compression and decompression products, interface converters, video encoders and receivers, and satellite broadcast equipment, of Tiernan Video in August and agreeing in November to acquire select product lines and technology related to transport stream multiplexing, IP multicasting and unicasting as well as broadcast record and playback products for the terrestrial, satellite and cable broadcast markets from Logic Innovations LLC.
On the DTH side, perhaps the most significant piece of consolidation saw the two leading DTH platforms in the Middle East, Showtime Arabia and Orbit, combine in July to create a single platform to serve the region. "From an operator perspective, it puts an end to an escalation of programming costs that became somewhat irrational and somewhat disconnected from the reality of the sizes of the business," Marc-Antoine d'Halluin, CEO of Showtime Orbit, says. "It brings some common sense into the mix from every perspective, and in addition, in the Middle East it will enable the merged entity do a far better job in fighting piracy, which is one of our major challenges in the region."
Fixed Satellite Services
For the four largest FSS players, Intelsat, SES, Eutelsat and Telesat, 2009 was a year about building businesses organically rather than making signature acquisitions. Eutelsat announced in June that Michel de Rosen was joining the company and would become CEO by the end of the year, replacing Giuliano Berretta, who will remain chairman of Eutelsat.
The more interesting developments in the FSS sector took place in emerging markets, and the Middle East, in particular, was a hive of activity. In February, a new private satellite operator, SmartSat, was established in the region. The $500 million company is a joint venture between Smartlink, the Jordanian private shareholding company that operates as a global broadband satellite services provider in the Middle East, North Africa and Eastern Europe, and a leading Kuwaiti investment holding company. SmartSat Managing Director Khaled Derbas said the operator hoped to make an announcement about a new satellite by May, but at the end of October, the operator had not yet unveiled any plans. The Middle East also saw Yahsat, a relatively new player itself, team up with SES Astra to form the YahLive joint venture to target the Middle East broadcast market.
In Africa, long believed to be a huge potential growth market for satellite services, it was a relatively quiet year. In March, Nigcomsat, one of the domestic operators trying to make an impact, announced that it had signed a deal for the Nigcomsat 1R satellite, a replacement for its doomed Nigcomsat 1 satellite. While ProtoStar dominated headlines in Asia, the region was a hub of activity. Asia Broadcast Satellite (ABS) announced in June that it signed a deal with Space Systems/Loral (SS/L) to build the ABS-2 satellite, which ABS claims "will be the most powerful commercial satellite ever launched in the Asia-Pacific region" with 78 C-band, Ku-band and Ka-band transponders across eight different beams." The spacecraft is scheduled to reach orbit in 2012.
Mobile Satellite Services
Along with Globalstar's refinancing effort, it was an eventful year for some key MSS operators. The year started with a bang in February with a collision between an Iridium and a Russian Cosmos satellite. The collision brought the issues of space debris and space surveillance to the top of the agenda, as the that number of satellites in orbit is expected to grow.
In May, the European Commission announced that it had awarded licenses to Inmarsat and Solaris Mobile (a joint venture of SES and Eutelsat) to build next-generation mobile satellite communications systems in Europe using S-band spectrum. Despite protests from the likes of ICO, the result was really not surprise. However, despite winning the license, it was a challenging a year for Solaris Mobile. A technical investigation of Solaris Mobile's S-band payload on Eutelsat's W2A satellite revealed significant non-compliances from its original specifications, according to a Solaris Mobile statement issued in early July. It will be interesting to see how both Inmarsat and Solaris perform in this area in Europe, and whether they can build long-term, profitable businesses based around next generation mobile services.
Among U.S. players, Terrestar, placed its Terrestar-1 satellite into orbit in July, and in September announced it had teamed up with AT&T to bring to market the first fully integrated satellite cellular smartphone in the United States.SkyTerra revealed it September that it would be acquired by a new corporation formed and indirectly wholly-owned by Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I Ltd and Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations Fund LP
Launch Services
Arianespace and ILS continued their steady performances serving the commercial marketplace, however, with the Sea Launch situation still unresolved, the potential lack of alternatives for reaching orbit has became a bigger concern for satellite operators. Boeing Launch Services and Lockheed Martin Commercial Launch Services have the capability, but with lucrative U.S. government contracts in place, neither company is in a rush to increase their presence in the commercial launch services space. "We have identified one or two commercial launches a year. We don't have an intention to make large commercial market share play with our product. In terms of how we participate in the market, it is business case driven," David Markham, president, Lockheed Martin Commercial Launch Services, says. New entries are angling to enter the market but look to be years away, at best, of making any impact. SpaceX performed the first commercial mission of its Falcon 1 vehicle in July and is developing its Falcon 9, while in August, China's Long March vehicle left the PT Indosat Palapa-D satellite short of its intended orbit.
A running theme throughout the year is the changing nature of the ways we access content, with technology vendors looking to help operators as they looking to provide services beyond the TV, and content deals are beginning to reflect this transition. In March, DirecTV signed a deal with the National Football League (NFL) which included Internet, TV and wireless broadcasting rights. "They have signed an extension … agreement [that] not only includes making games available for viewing for television but also across different devices. I see that as a harbinger of what will come," says Patrick Harshman, CEO of Harmonic.
2009 also saw advancements in 3-D TV, as the technology has become a revenue generator for niche markets such as live events to theaters, and BSkyB announced in July that it would launch the first 3-D channel in the United Kingdom in 2010. "If you were to look two years ago, 3-D was viewed as a bit of a science fiction thing for television. Since then things have moved on at speed and domestic 3-D experiences are now a reality," says Gerry O'Sullivan, Sky's director of strategic product development."
BSkyB also made news in May when it announced it would team up with Microsoft to make Sky content available to Microsoft Xbox 360 users in the United Kingdom, a further example of the converging media worlds. "I think this is a landmark deal. It is the first time that live TV has been brought onto a console platform, and it is a real indication of the way digital media is going, where both ourselves and Sky are looking to offer as much choice to consumers as we can and this allows us both to look at our customers and offer them a more complete service than what we were offering before at a holistic entertainment level," says Neil Thompson, head of Xbox U.K. and Ireland.
With the economic recession deepening throughout 2009, there were fears that this could lead to a cut in terms of spending on next-generation military space systems. The biggest announcement took place in early April, when U.S. defense secretary Robert Gates announced that the United States was canceling the Air Force's $26 billion Transformation Satellite System military space program.
As militaries look to save costs, more deals similar to an April agreement between Intelsat and the Australian Defence Force (ADF) could be on the horizon. The ADF agreed to purchase a specialized UHF communications payload aboard an Intelsat satellite scheduled for launch in 2012. As part of the hosted payload contract, valued at about $167 million, Intelsat will arrange for the construction and integration of the UHF payload with its satellite.
Satellite Broadband
The satellite broadband market begins to take hold around the globe, and a pair of late-year deals demonstrated that value of these companies is growing.ViaSat's announced in October that it signed a definitive agreement to acquire WildBlue Communications in a cash and stock transaction valued at $568 million. WildBlue's Ka-band broadband service will use capacity on the ViaSat-1 satellite, set for launch in early 2011, and ViaSat will integrate its ground network technology with WildBlue's operational and distribution platform.In addition to accelerating the growth of WildBlue's consumer satellite broadband business, the transaction also is intended to promote growth opportunities for ViaSat's commercial and defense businesses.
In June, Hughes announced plans to expand its offering with the launch of a next-generation, high-throughput satellite in the first quarter of 2012. The spacecraft will be designed to deliver speeds of more 100 gigabits per second (Gbps) and use an enhanced version of the IPoS broadband satellite standard. Then in October, Hughes sold 10 percent of the capacity to Canadian broadband provider Barrett Xplore in a deal valued at $100 million. The deal also leaves the possibility of consumer premise equipment, which could increase the contract amount.
Eutelsat and SES continued their efforts to develop the satellite broadband market in Europe. Eutelsat, in particular, seems to be the more aggressive out of the two, as its dedicated Ka-band satellite, Ka-Sat, is scheduled to launch in late 2010. A newcomer to watch out for is Avanti Communications which is launching a high-powered satellite, Hylas, in 2010.
Final Thoughts
Overall, the satellite industry held up well throughout 2009. Demand for capacity remained strong, and there were very few casualties in terms of bankruptcies. With world economies still in recovery mode, 2010 could be another tricky year, but it looks as if the demand for bandwidth will not slow down.

Tornado watch issued for all of Northern Indiana
Severe weather is brewing in the area and will likely result in a tornado outbreak, the National Weather Service (NWS) reported this morning.
A Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) tornado watch for all of Northern Indiana, Southern Michigan and Northwest Ohio was issued at 11:20 a.m. and the NWS expects it to last through 8 p.m.
The PDS notation indicates that the risk for extreme weather is very high.
high wind warning is in effect from 1 p.m. today, Nov. 17, through 1 a.m. Monday, Nov. 18, and wind gusts may reach up to 60 mph this afternoon.
The Indiana Toll Road issued a wind ban for the entire length of I-80/90 lasting the duration of the high wind warning. The ban affects triple tractor-trailers, long-doubles and high-profile oversize permit loads, with the exception of low-profile steel haulers.
"This has the potential to be a historic event in weather history for Northern Indiana," the NWS Northern Indiana office posted on Facebook.
A tornado watch was issued for northeast Illinois and northwest Indiana at approximately 9 a.m. EST and is expected to last through 5 p.m. EST. The NWS expects that a tornado watch will be issued in Northern Indiana and parts of Michigan sometime today.
A tornado watch is issued when conditions are favorable for tornadoes to occur. A tornado warning is issued when a tornado or multiple tornadoes has been spotted. If a tornado warning is issued, people in the affected area should take cover immediately.
The NWS released the following tips for staying safe during severe weather:
Ÿ Don't ignore severe weather or tornado warnings.
Ÿ Plan ahead for what you will do in case of a tornado warning. If you do not have a basement or good shelter, make plans with family, friends or neighbors.
Ÿ If you see a tornado while you are in your vehicle, get out and lay in a ditch next to the road.
Ÿ If a tornado warning is issued, seek shelter immediately.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.41 lbs (0.19 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

iHerb Customer Reviews
It's a best product to balance our body's electrolytes in time of sweating a lot.
We live in a hot dry climate, so we use this on a daily basis for hydration. Great taste and quenches my thirst, as I already drank a lot of water but never felt quenched. I only use half of the suggested drops, to minimize the salty taste, which is a good taste, just a little strong at the recommendations.

Budget cuts could be a recipe for change or disaster

The Garage Plan Shop – 7 Reasons to Choose a Garage Apartment Plan
Currently, there is a growing trend among those wishing to build a garage. Many are opting for garage apartment plans. These floor plans incorporate a fully functional living space with the garage either on the same level or above the garage. Garage apartment plans range from a parking area with a studio apartment to a one to three bedroom layout. They include at least one full bath and a modest kitchen in most cases. Some even include special extras such as a fireplace, walk-in closet, laundry facilities or organizational built-ins. So, why are people choosing garage apartment plans? Below is a list of some of the top reasons for their popularity.
1. Guest or In-Law Suite – Many families enjoy out-of-town guests, overnight visitors and weekend visits from family and friends. A garage apartment provides guests with privacy and comfort.
2. Added Value – A garage apartment contributes street appeal and adds functionality and value to your property. It is a great way to complement your home and gain usable space.
3. Home Office – Many working Americans run home-based businesses. The apartment easily converts to an office and meeting area providing a space to work or meet with clients without disturbing the main home.
4. Work Space – For those who enjoy hobbies, the living area of a garage apartment plan comes in handy for use as a hobby room, craft area, etc. The living area can easily serve as a work space for all your projects, and you having to clear off the dining room table every evening for dinner. Plus, you'll always have an extra bedroom and bath when visitors drop by.
5. Weekend Retreat/Secondary Residence – For those who like to get away from it all, a garage apartment is the ideal alternative to a vacation home. Use the garage for storage of outdoor sporting gear, a boat, ATV, bikes, etc. The apartment will give you a great place to kick back and relax after a fun day on the lake or hunting expedition. Some designs have multiple bedrooms offering plenty of room to bring a couple of friends along for a fun and relaxing weekend.
6. Income – If you are in need of garage space, but can't quite afford a new garage, consider a garage apartment plan. You can use the garage space as you wish and rent out the living quarters earning income that will help you pay for the garage. Once the garage is paid for, you'll be making money off your garage apartment. Also, most maintenance expenses are tax deductible.
7. Multi-purpose Space – Sometimes families need a flexible space that can accommodate many different needs. Consider a garage apartment with an open floor plan. The open living space can serve as an entertainment area for family and friends such as a recreation room, game room, home theater and more. Or it can be a game room tonight and convert to a meeting space for your wife's scrap-booking club tomorrow. Possibilities are endless with an open floor plan. As you family grows and changes, you can adapt the living space to satisfy your needs.
If you are considering building a new garage, take time to think about the additional value and possibilities of choosing a garage apartment plan.

It is better to have a garage designed apartment or home. Aside from the alternative uses cited above, it is better to have your vehicles inside garages for protection from nature including man (car thieves).

El Paso, TX (Sports Network) - A pair of Chris Washburn free throws with only
seconds remaining turned the tide for the Miners of Texas-El Paso as they
squeezed out a 55-54 win over the New Mexico State Aggies in non-conference
play at the Don Haskins Center.
Chris Washburn finished with seven points, all of them coming at the charity
stripe, while Julian Washburn accounted for a game-high 20 points for the
Miners (2-4) in the victory. John Bohannon added 15 points and Jacques
Streeter seven points and a game-high seven assists.
The Aggies (3-4) were paced by Tyrone Watson who tallied 13 points, the only
player to score in double figures for the visitors.
A close game for much of the first half, NMSU claimed a 32-28 advantage at the
break thanks to 50 percent shooting from the floor and a 9-of-13 showing at
the free-throw line.
In the second half the Aggies made a total of only eight field goals and
missed a potential game-winner in the final moments when a three-point shot by
Daniel Mullings missed the mark.
New Mexico State held a slight lead on the glass, 28-23, but that made little
difference as the visitors turned the ball over 20 times on the night.

|I'm Just Cookin'
|Written by Darci Tomky
Feast on these pumpkin picks
It's almost Thanksgiving, and guess what that means … pumpkin!! Either you love it or you hate it, and I love it. Just as much as I love candy corn and peanuts, which I love a lot. (You have to find something to love in the fall since the weather gets all gloomy and the sun goes away and all the leaves fall off the trees and it's just plain depressing!)
OK, back to pumpkins. I'm so excited about pumpkins that I looked up some nifty pumpkin facts for you on trusty history.com. Did you know pumpkins are indigenous to the western hemisphere? They are members of the gourd family, which includes cucumbers, honeydew melons, cantaloupe, watermelons and zucchini—all native to Central America and Mexico but are now grown on six continents.
In 1584, after French explorer Jacques Cartier explored the St. Lawrence region of North America, he reported finding "gros melons." The name was translated into English as "pompions," which has since evolved into the modern "pumpkin." (Or "punkin," as I like to say.)
This orange fruit has flowers, seeds and flesh that are edible. You'll be excited to know pumpkins are low in calories, fat and sodium and are high in fiber. They are good sources of Vitamin A, Vitamin B, potassium, protein and iron. Bring on the pumpkin pie!!
And speaking of pumpkin pie, seven years ago some intense pumpkin lovers baked the largest pumpkin pie in the world, weighing in at a whopping 2,020 pounds. If that couldn't feed the pilgrims and the Native Americans on the first Thanksgiving, I don't know what could!!
I think we love pumpkin so much because we know we can only get it once a year. Therefore, it's pretty much a crime to not have pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving, don't you think? You don't want to blow your chances for pumpkin pie, because the opportunity might not come back around for another 365 days, and that's a long time!
My pumpkin cravings have been hitting hard this year, so the other day I popped open a can of pumpkin and whipped up my sister's favorite pumpkin bar recipe. It can be found on foodnetwork.com, courtesy of Paula Dean.
These pumpkin bars are like pumpkin pie, but better. Way better. Like I-must-be-in-pumpkin-heaven better. You'll just have to try them for yourself. And trust me, this is one dish you'll have to make a permanent part of your Thanksgiving menu. You'll be thankful you did!

(I've searched around a bit to try to accomplish what I'm looking for, here/google/etc)
Long story short, I have an existing 5.0.8 [NE] install, with a license expiring at the end of this month, that is now used as an archive (company switched to Exchange a year ago), and I was looking for a way to script something to dump all the mailboxes out to .pst's. I've realized that isn't going to happen, so I was trying to find a way to dump them out to .zdb's. I've seen ways to get them to .zip or .tar.gz... but that's not quite the format I'm looking for.
Right now, most people have the Zimbra account as a separate (but non-sync'ing) imap mailbox in Outlook.
I've taken a handful of accounts, loaded the Zimbra profile in outlook, exported the entire thing to a .pst, deleted the profile, set up the Exchange profile, and reopened the Zimbra .pst as an archive, but that's quite inefficient (especially with 150 users).
Before anyone asks--no, I don't want to use imapsync to bring the mail into Exchange... this is just for archival/reading old mail.
I'd like to be able to script something, that I can run, dump out all the mailboxes to .zdb, and release them to users on a per-request basis.
Any help/ideas would definitely be appreciated.

I have one user who has seen an increase in "Suspect" spam messages, and these messages are actually false positives. Some of these messages are being tagged only a day after this user replied to original sender and the earlier msgs were not tagged as suspect.
How can I reset this user, so he doesn't get the false positives as frequently?
(He has not gotten used to checking spam folder after three years with Zimbra...this is not the time to start remedial training...
Thanks. Hope this makes sense.

Greenville, MO (KSDK) - The murder trial for 45 year old Marvin Rice of Salem has been postponed after the State notified Rice's attorneys they would be seeking the death penalty against the former Dent County Sheriff's Deputy.
Trial was slated to begin this morning.
Rice is charged with two counts of first degree murder for the December 2011 slayings of 32 year old Annette Durham and 39 year old Steven Strothcamp at their Salem home. Authorities have cited a child custody dispute as the motive behind Rice's crimes.
Investigators say Rice shot and killed his former girlfriend and her boyfriend after a dispute involving Rice's toddler son.
After leaving the crime scene, police say Rice fled to Jefferson City engaging police in a gun battle through rural Missouri before arriving at the crowded Capitol Plaza Hotel where Rice was shot by officers. No guests or law enforcement officials were injured in the shoot out.
A youth hockey team from Granite City, Illinois was staying at the hotel while participating in a tournament the night Rice opened fire inside the Capitol Plaza.
Rice's case was moved to Wayne County on a change of venue from Dent County. A decision on a new trial date is scheduled to be made December 4th.

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
Cordless drills can replace conventional drills and manual screwdrivers, because they're equally adept at boring holes and driving screws. However, with the large number of models available, it's important to assess your needs before choosing the cordless drill or driver that's right for you.
The most important factor, reviewers say, is choosing a cordless drill with adequate power. That's easier said than done, because cordless drill models can range in power from 7.2 volts to 20 volts or more. According to J.D. Power and Associates, most owners prefer 18-volt drills to 12-volt drills because they have more power and can run longer between charges. But not all 18-volt drills are the same. Expert tests show that performance varies widely (battery run time can differ by more than 100 screws), with higher prices not necessarily leading to a better tool. For some homeowners and tradespeople (like electricians and finish carpenters), top-rated 12-volt drills can be a good option to consider because they are smaller and less expensive, experts say.
Battery type can affect performance, too. The best cordless drills and drivers use lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, which are lighter and more compact than nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. Li-ion batteries also keep their charge longer between uses, making them a better choice for homeowners who don't use these tools every day.
Using both bit rotation and impact to drive screws, cordless impact drivers have much more torque than cordless drills, notes Popular Mechanics. They can drive screws and lag bolts without a pilot hole and with minimal strain on the hand and wrist. However, they are less versatile than cordless drills as their primary function is to drive screws. That said, makers are offering impact driver accessories that have begun to blur the difference between the two tools. For example, DeWalt offers a line of "Impact Ready" products that includes drill bits and hole saws.
While a cordless impact driver makes sense for large projects (such as building a deck), if your screw driving needs amount to furniture assembly and hanging items on walls, you might be just fine with a cordless screwdriver. Cordless screwdrivers are relatively inexpensive and light weight, but you give up some versatility compared to a cordless drill as cordless screwdrivers are relatively limited when it comes to drilling holes.
There's lots of feedback available regarding cordless drills, cordless screwdrivers and cordless impact drivers. ConsumerReports.org offers extensive coverage, including tests of all three types of tools. Cordless drills are assessed based on their expected usage and are rated against their heavy-duty, light-duty and general-use peers. Testing-based comparisons from Popular Mechanics, Tools of the Trade, Pro Tool Reviews, Fine Homebuilding, and TheFamilyHandyman.com also reveal top performers. Both homeowners and contractors comment on drills at retail sites like HomeDepot.com Lowes.com and Amazon.com.
Forget that hefty electric drill. Compact cordless drills with lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have plenty of power for most users.
Both professional comparisons and user reviews name the DeWalt DCD780C2 (Est. $170) as a top performer in the compact drill/driver category. In side-by-side tests, the DCD780C2 displays plenty of power, ranking high in torque tests and speed trials. With two speeds and 15 clutch settings, users say its versatility is well-suited for a variety of tasks. Speed selections give you the option of drilling quickly or slowing the drill down for tougher jobs, like when you're driving through thick material. A drill with multiple clutch settings lets you disengage the drill's transmission at a specific resistance; this prevents stripping screw heads or overdrilling in drywall.
The DCD780C2 isn't without some downsides. One independent tester that otherwise rates this compact drill highly describes run time as "limited." In a test at Tools of the Trade, the drill finishes 7th (out of 10) in compact cordless drills in that regard. But otherwise, reviewers have nothing but nice things to say. "The DeWalt has a comfortable grip, is very compact, and has a higher top speed than any other tool in its class," writes Greg DiBernardo at Tools of the Trade. One plus, another reviewer notes, is the fast (30 minute) recharge time, which takes a little of the sting out of the shorter than ideal run time.
Oddly -- or perhaps a reflection on the difference between real-world use and testing intended to stress batteries -- battery life is seldom voiced as a negative by users. Quite the opposite, in fact, as one of the oft-cited pluses of the DeWalt DCD780C2 is its long run time between charges. User reviews aren't as extensive as for some other cordless drills, but there's enough of them in enough different places, including Amazon.com and HomeDepot.com, to paint a picture of high satisfaction overall. Note that while this cordless drill is marketed by DeWalt as 20-volts "max," many reviewers point out that's its slim batteries are actually rated at 18 volts under normal usage.
The chief negative voiced by most is price. If the cost is a concern, the 18-volt Hitachi DS18DSAL (Est. $130) makes an excellent second choice. It gets strong expert reviews and is adored by hundreds of users posting at Lowes.com, Amazon.com, and elsewhere.
One expert reviewer notes that despite its light, 3.4-pound weight, the Hitachi DS18DSAL is "is nearly as fast and powerful as heavy-duty models. Chris Baylor at About.com concurs, calling the DS18DSAL "impressively powerful, yet lightweight." User reviews are equally enthusiastic. As an example, at Lowes.com the DS18DSAL draws a rating of 4.6 stars following nearly 450 reviews, with 93 percent saying that they recommend the drill. Though not everyone agrees, durability seems to be excellent. "It's landed in manure, dirt, mud, & even on the concrete, but I just can't seem to kill this thing," writes one Lowes.com customer. During testing, Baylor notes that he knocked his drill from his work table to a concrete floor. Concerned at first, he is relieved to note: "because the external shell of the drill appears to be made with a semi-pliable material, there wasn't as much as a scratch on the unit."
The Hitachi DS18DSAL is certainly versatile, and reviewers say that there's plenty of power for most tasks. There's a two-speed motor, a 22+1 clutch (22 drive settings plus one drill setting) and a variable speed trigger for maximum control. It's powered by a 1.5 Ah lithium battery. The DS18DSAL comes in a kit that includes two batteries, a quick charger (about 40 minutes according to tests), an accessory 18V UB18DAL compact flashlight and either a hard or soft case.
For light-duty, household use, the Porter-Cable PCL120DDC-2 (Est. $90) is worth considering. It's named "The Best Drill for Common Household Projects" by TheSweetHome.com -- a conclusion reached by consulting many of the same resources we use, plus hands-on testing by Doug Mahoney, who also owns the Tool Snob web site. In another, independent review, it's considered a Best Buy among light duty cordless drills. The short run-time between charges is more than offset by its light weight, quiet operation, fast recharge times and low price. Popular Mechanics also grants it Best Buy status among the 13, 12-volt cordless drills it tests. There aren't a ton of user reviews, but Amazon.com hosts more than 100. The overwhelming majority (nearly 90) grant the drill a 5-star rating.
While Mahoney recommends the Porter-Cable PCL120DDC-2 for someone who only needs it on occasion, he steers others away. "This recommendation is not for the rabid DIYer who has plans to build a deck, a doghouse and a tree house this summer," he says. The power is good for this class of drill, but power falls short of the drills above -- not a surprise given that this is a 12-volt drill; makers sometimes play games with specifications, but the voltage rating is a good indication of a drill's relative power You'll also find a 3/8-inch chuck compared to the 1/2-inch chuck of the DeWalt and Hitachi drills above. That might not sound like much of a difference, but a 3/8-inch chuck can't accept many heavy duty bits and attachments. Still, if your need is for a drill to do the odd repair or small project around the home, the Porter-Cable PCL120DDC-2 looks tough to beat in terms of performance and value.

I upgraded from BES 184.108.40.206 to 18.104.22.168 (MR5) and now devices are not receiving e-mail. When I shut down the Blackberry Connector and open Outlook with the Blackberry Server profile, I see new e-mail showing up in my mailbox, but not syncing to devices. I can message from the Blackberry Manager to devices by PIN number, so it appears my Blackberry service is OK.
I'm stuck. What logs would be helpful for me to post to find a resolution? I have enabled Zimbra logging on the BES server.
Our Zimbra version is 5.0.16 and we are running the non-beta ZCS Connector for BES.
Thanks in advance for any help ...
Put in the incorrect version of current BES. We are running 126.96.36.199

Saturday News, April 28
(Des Moines) -- Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller says his office plans to conduct an investigation into the gas pipeline explosion that happened near Hinton on Wednesday. The investigation will focus on whether or not the workers notified Iowa One Call prior to the digging of a trench. Spokesman, David Sheridan says the Iowa Attorney General could fine violators $10,000 a day up to a maximum fine of one half million dollars. A spokesman for Northern Natural Gas, which owns the pipeline, claims no one called.
(Le Mars) -- Two recent events could have been prevented if only prior contact was made with Iowa One Call, the agency that helps locate underground utility services. The two events are the Wednesday's gas pipeline explosion east of Hinton, and last month's severing of a fiber optic cable near Orange City that left thousands of customers in Le Mars without cable, internet and even phone service. Ben Booth is the spokesperson for Iowa One Call. He says the system is set up for "damage prevention". Booth says it is the law to notify Iowa One Call before any excavating is done.
Listen here
Booth says failure to notify Iowa One Call could cost you some money, both in terms of fines and penalaties, and in terms of civil liability lawsuits, and even businesses injunctions.
Listen here
The One Call spokesman says he doesn't understand why people don't use the service, especially since it is a free service.
Listen here
Booth says no one is exempt from the law, from backyards to backfields, everyone must call before they dig.
ONAWA, Iowa (AP) - A western Iowa woman charged with drowning her 15-month-old son has been formally charged with first-degree murder.
The Sioux City Journal (http://bit.ly/IXK9rJ ) says the Monona County attorney's office filed the charge against 24-year-old Ashley Cameron, of Onawa, on Thursday. She's scheduled to be arraigned May 14.
Cameron is charged in the Feb. 11 death of Markis Dahms. She was arrested on April 18. Police say Cameron held the toddler under a running faucet in the bathtub in their home until he drowned.
The boy was found dead after officers responded to an emergency call about a child who wasn't breathing. An autopsy later determined the boy had drowned and his death was a homicide.
Cameron is represented by the state public defender's office in Sioux City. A telephone message to the office wasn't returned late Friday afternoon.
(Le Mars) -- Work crews will begin widening Highway 3 on the west end of Le Mars beginning Monday. Highway 3 traffic will be routed to the north exchange of Highway 75.
(Pierson) -- Feeling like Bill Murray from the movie Groundhog Day, when everything seemed to repeat itself, Iowa Republican State Senator Bill Anderson says this session "feels just like last year."
Listen here
A year ago, the state legislature wasn't able to end the session until hours before the fiscal year had ended on June 30th. The state legislature is already two weeks past its deadline, and according to Anderson, he remains hopeful for some resolution on key issues, but he is not as optimistic as he once was.
Listen here
The Pierson lawmaker says it may be that the legislature won't be able to complete its work, and in fact they may leave major pieces of legislation unresolved.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Iowa economic development officials are reviewing whether to continue a $2.5 million investment in a startup company pitching a groundbreaking fertilizer technology after learning jurors once found its chairman had misused investor money in another energy project.
Court records reviewed by The Associated Press show SynGest Chairman Serge Randhava was found in 2008 by a jury in Illinois to have committed civil racketeering and fraud in connection with $500,000 invested to develop a fertilizer technology. A judge vacated the verdict in 2009 when the case was settled.
Randhava denies any wrongdoing and says the case was one part of a messy, high-stakes business litigation.
Two Iowa Power Fund Board members who voted to invest in SynGest say they were unaware of the case and would have investigated the details.

Which Revenge Star Got Married This Weekend?! (PHOTO)
The stars of Revenge may spend their workdays trolling the Hamptons for houses to burn and lobster tails to consume, but their personal lives are filled with a lot of love. This weekend alone Ashley Madekwe celebrated her wedding anniversary, and Barry Sloane (Aiden Mathis) actually took the walk down the aisle with new bride Katy O'Grady.
The British actor has been engaged to his baby mama for several years now and they share daughter Gracie Bluebell Sloane who was born in 2010.
Not only is Barry thrilled to finally have a wife, but the couple decided to ask guests to donate to a special charity instead of giving them wedding gifts.
"Thanks to everyone who shared our wedding weekend! Anyone who didn't donate to our charity can do so here," Barry tweeted with the link to a children's charity.
"Fundraising for the hospital that saved our baby nephew Stanley #Thankyou," Barry tweeted.
Aww! It's so nice to see this couple giving back.
So far they've raised close to £2,000, which is the equivalent of just over $3,000. If you'd like to donate, click here.
Are you surprised that Barry Sloane and Katy O'Grady tied the knot this weekend? Tell us below!

Star Style: Loretta Broderick Wears Appaman's Boutique Blazer On Her Walk With Sarah Jessica Parker
April 18, 2013 in New This Season, Star Style
It looks like one of SJP's fashionable twins has added another piece of Appaman outerwear to her growing collection! Tabitha and Loretta Broderick, twin daughters of Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, love to go out in Appaman jackets year round (like we mentioned yesterday), and we think Loretta looks incredibly sweet and chic in her newest ensemble, which features our Spring 2013 Boutique Blazer in Huckleberry.
Sarah Jessica recently told PEOPLE magazine's Celebrity Babies blog that Tabitha and Loretta are the ones coordinating their outfits, from head to toe, accessories included. "They pick out their own clothes every single day," she said. "We have a routine. They pick out their clothes at 3 o'clock when they wake up from their nap."
She insists that their spot-on fashion choices, which you can see here in PEOPLE's gallery of Broderick twin style, are completely their own. "We tell them nothing. We just give them the temperature outside and if they don't pick enough clothing, then we say, 'You need leggings or pants. You need to add something so you'll be warm enough.' That's all they would listen to."
The Boutique Blazer ($93, also available in Silver Moon) is part of Appaman's Fine Tailoring collection, recently expanded to include girls. The blazer is fitted with crop length sleeves to give it a classic, feminine look. Shop our complete girls' Spring/Summer 2013 collection here, and check out our best-selling Fine Tailoring for boys here.
