Liquor license agency could get busy
Proposals would extend bar hours, add marijuana regulation
SACRAMENTO The state's liquor license regulator may soon be brimming with new duties — regulating medical marijuana sales and overseeing alcohol sales during new bar hours from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m.
Separate bills circulating at the statehouse would give those tasks to the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
Those living in neighborhoods with a proliferation of bars, such as San Diego's Pacific Beach, are wary of an expansion of ABC oversight. They claim the agency has a conflict of interest because its roughly $50 million budget is generated mostly from license fees.
ABC approved 10,336 permanent licenses to businesses across the state and denied seven in the last fiscal year.
In 2010-11, ABC provided 12,600 licenses and denied four.
In 2009-10, the agency granted 9,444 and denied seven.
Critics say the numbers are indicative of the problem.
"The ABC is ineffective because their incentive is to process licenses," said Pacific Beach activist Scott Chipman, chairman of San Diegans for Safe Neighborhoods.
"The general public thinks the ABC regulates alcohol licenses. And if you look at their mission statement, you would think so, too. But it appears their primary function on a day-to-day basis is to process licenses. That's where they expend most of their energy."
ABC officials say they adhere to the law when reviewing permit applications, which are subject to a 17-step appeals process if an applicant is denied.
"When you apply for a license, there is a due process," said Matthew Seck, a supervising agent at headquarters in Sacramento. "We have to give a legal justification to deny the license. We can't just say, 'We don't like you.'"
"Even if we decide from Day 1 that there is something so crazy that we're going to deny, that person has all those steps all the way to 17," he said.
The agency is no different from others tasked with overseeing doctors, dentists, attorneys, hairstylists, real estate agents and other professions that pay for licenses, Seck said. He called the contention of a conflict "an interesting policy argument."
"That's how the government works versus general fund agencies that take sales and property taxes," he said.
Seck added that the annual figures don't account for the number of applicants that withdrew requests when it became apparent they faced stiff opposition.
"Let's say this neighborhood group said, 'These 10 bars are the worst and I want them gone.' And we just snapped our fingers (obviously we can't). Still, that would be about $6,000 less a year," Seck said. "To say that we would not get rid of these 10 worst places because it would be $6,000 less a year in our $50 million budget really doesn't add up."
Marcie Beckett, another San Diego critic of the process, said it generally lacks transparency. Residents learn about new applications only by seeing a notice in the window, she said.
"If you have the money to hire a good lawyer you can keep appealing and get your license even if it's protested by the local police and denied by the local ABC," Beckett said. "Ninety-nine percent of the time they win and 1 percent we win."
One measure in the legislature would allow bars and nightclubs to expand their hours to 4 a.m. from 2 a.m.
Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, the bill's author, said neighborhood stakeholders would have a voice in any plan for extended hours.
"We've written this really conservatively. There is no certainty that with this — as with any law — that any city will see any difference, any change," Leno said. "And in fact, if it does happen, it will be in a very small handful of California cities."

I used the search function but couldn't find what I was looking for.
Our cert expired and I was successfully able to install a GoDaddy SSL Cert renewal.
However, now that it is up and running I am getting an error on one of my other servers: "SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed"
I only installed the companydomainname.crt but did not install the cross_intermediate.crt, intermediate.crt, bundle.crt or root.crt. Do I need to get one or more of those in there? Or do I need to restart that other linux server?

Mission Journal: Why Turkey matters
Turkey is hardly a press freedom paradise, but what makes the country so exciting for journalists is the amount of news it generates on any given day. The domestic story is huge, with near-daily street protests, the booming economy beginning to sag, and the prospect of regional conflict looming with Syria. And Istanbul is a base for the international press covering not only Turkey but also Syria, Iraq and Egypt.

Hold on to your knickers, girls! This weekend is full of excellent music, arts, theater and shopping events. Here we go:
Ides of March premiers tonight (FINALLY). Check it out and see how many Cincinnati landmarks you can spot. Or just look at Ryan Gosling. Read our interview with an actor who is not Gosling or Clooney here, and check out our review.
Clifton Heights Music Festival is back for its fifth installment! Bands of all genres take over six Clifton-area bars (in walking distance of one another) tonight and Saturday. The ever-growing fest continues to be one of the most affordable - $8 gets you in all venues for one night, $12 for both nights. Go here for the full lineup and venue details.
Rapper Machine Gun Kelly plays Madison Theater tonight. My little sister wants to marry him. Important facts here.
Feather hair extensions are one of the trendiest fashion accessories right now (I say this knowing that Cincy's always a little behind the times on all things stylish). Celebrities from Ke$ha to Steven Tyler to Roseanne Barr have been rockin' the look, which may sound like a deterrent, but now these birdy little weaves are everywhere. Even on dogs.
It's Final Friday! The best day of the month for sauntering through Over-the-Rhine, perusing local art and sipping on some vino. One of many gallery openings takes place at the Art Academy of Cincinnati from 5-8 p.m. In Context is a thesis exhibition for art teachers working towards their Masters of Arts in Art Education.
This year's Cincinnati Pride Week was surrounded by some controversy as it coincided with Fourth of July and many of the festivities moved Downtown. This Saturday, Aug. 7, Northside reclaims Pride Fest with tons of live music, drag shows, comedy and partying. The celegaytion starts at noon in Hoffner Park.
Despite the fact that three businesses have called it quits in Northside in the past month or so (Ali's Boutique, Shoe-topia and the Northside Art Gallery), two ladies are trying their hand at opening something. Aileen McGrath and Chris Salley are celebrating the opening of their new gallery/boutique/supply store, Fabricate, tonight with an exhibition of Salley's small, self-portrait paintings and music by PROJECTMILL (along with hors d'oeuvres and beverages).
Danny Cross wrote a To Do pick about the party here. And I e-mailed some questions to McGrath and Salley to learn more about their vision for the gallery/shop. See their answers below:
CityBeat: What is the name of your gallery?
Fabricate: fabricate
CB: What does the name mean?
F: It means "to make by art or skill and labor; construct." We'd kinda been butting heads on a name that we both liked and we'd both had that same word on our lists to describe the kinds of things we are going to be doing in there. We liked that it describes working with hard things, like metal or wood, and soft things, like textiles. It also means: "to devise or invent something."
CB: Do you have a mission statement?
F: A store and gallery hybrid where artists, crafters and designers can be inspired, supplied and showcased.
CB: Who is responsible for the gallery? What did you two do before this?
F: We both are equally responsible for everything. We will both pick what art will show each month and work to constantly be filling the store with consigner's merchandise. We will also both be working in the store. We will still continue to work our other jobs as well. (Chris as a Program Manager for Girl Scouts of Western Ohio and Aileen as a bartender at Northside Tavern.)
CB: There aren't generally many galleries in Northside, save for Feralmade, which is now Raymond Thunder-Sky, inc. and Prairie. How do you think the neighborhood will respond to your presence?
F: We've already gotten a really positive response. We both know a lot of people in Northside and Cincinnati and it seems like everyone is coming out for the opening. We are kinda intimated actually with how many people have said they are coming. … We think the community will embrace it. There isn't anything like what we are doing in Northside already. Everyone we talk to is really fired up to have an art show in there and create other things to sell as well.
CB: With the recent closing of businesses like shoe-topia and Ali's Boutique, how are you two planning to ensure your vitality?
F: Bribery via pie! But seriously, this is our passion project and we both have other incomes, so we are not sweating every dollar even though it is going to be tight. We are able to experiment because we have stability elsewhere. There will be new art exhibits once a month and a lot of our friends are creative people who make amazing things, but don't have a place to display/sell them except for online, so we are providing them that space. We will have unique items, locally made, that you can't find anywhere else.
CB: What else will be there besides artworks?
F: Ultimately, all sorts of handmade goods from local indie crafters: art prints, scarves, jewelry, cards, stationary, accessories, pillows, curtains, unique artist T-shirt lines and eventually bigger creations like furniture and lighting. Anything that we think is interesting and would be cool to sell. We will also have art and craft supply as well. All of this we will be building up as we go. It's gonna start-up small and then grow from there as we acquire more merchandise and, therefore, the funds to stock more art supply.
CB: What are your plans for the future? How do you envision the gallery six months from now?
F: Haha! Hopefully we'll not still be paying rent out o' pocket. It's gonna be a slow build, but we are comfortable with that. We hope the creative community sees us as a resource and an outlet, as well as a great place to see new art once a month along with the other new things that their peers create. And hopefully in turn that inspires them to keep creating more things to display and sell there.
CB: What can gallery-goers expect to see in your inaugural exhibit?
F: Chris' paintings. The space in general. Us jumping up and down when we make out first dollar…aaaannnnnd probably making sure it's being documented via various photographic devices. Potable beverages. Their friends! The beginnings of the boutique and us communicating with future consigners about their work. Suggestion box for art supplies to stock. High fives! My mom. Snackage generously supplied to us via Hideaway, Take the Cake and cookies from the now imfamous Mikey B!
CB: You say you enter through Red Polly. HOW? Where is the gallery?
F: We are 4012 Hamiliton Ave. in Northside, but you will enter through 4016 Hamilton Ave. You will come through Red Polly's front door, we share the same entrance. Walk to the room on the right. Two of the walls in our space will always be dedicated to artwork that will stay up all month.
CB: Tell me bout the party.
F: Fabricate's grand opening will be on Friday, with the inaugural art show 4 x 6 x 100: an exhibition of Chris' paintings. What started out as sketches for larger works turned into a series of one hundred 4 x 6 paintings that are self-portrait snapshots of everyday emotions, split-second ideas and random documentation of the images that reside in her brain. There will potable beverages, hors d'oeuvres and entertainment provided by the DJ's of PROJECTMILL, creators of award winning DANCE_MF. This is your first chance to get a glimpse of the location that will house once-a-month art exhibits and shows, preview the beginnings of the boutique and meet/talk with the owners about consigning your own handiwork in the future. It's gonna be a lot fun and will hopefully get everyone ramped up for future exhibitions we plan on having each month accompanied by different DJ's and bands.
Get your glue guns ready, ya'll, because the Crafty Supermarket's about to take over the Northside Tavern. That's right. Your local watering hole (generally full of tight-pantsed drunks at night) will be hosting an indie craft show on Saturday afternoon (noon-6 p.m.) with handmade fine art, recycled goods, home decor, jewelry, children's items, stationery and more.
The masterminds behind this DIY dream are local writer/editor/crafter Grace Dobush and recent DAAP grad/sustainable shoemaker Alisha Budkie. The duo will be bringing together over 20 craft vendors from Cincinnati and the Midwest for a fair inspired by the likes of Renegade Chicago. Along with shopping opportunities there will be "swag bags" for the first 50 shoppers, music from PROJECTMILL, food from Dojo Gelato and others, and a Make It! table where attendees can get crafty with the BYOProjectors (read about them here).
CityBeat recently had a little e-mail exchange with Dobush, whose book, Crafty Superstar: Make Crafts on the Side, Earn Extra Cash and Basically Have It All, is about to be released, about the Crafty Supermarket.
CityBeat: What is the Crafty Supermarket?
Grace Dobush: Crafty Supermarket is an indie craft show, or a Rock & Roll craft show, which is more appropriate since it's in Northside. This is not your standard high-school auditorium, church-basement craft show: We're having music by PROJECTMILL, rad food from local vendors and 20 hip crafters who will be selling the stuff they make. No packaged stuff, no commercial stuff, no lame stuff—just arts and crafts!
CB: Why are you having a craft show? What's the goal?
GD: My goal is to solidify the craft scene in Cincinnati a bit. There are a ton of really talented crafters and artists here, but none of us seem to know each other! My co-organizer, Alisha, and I had never met until we were in Washington D.C. at the Summit of Awesome (a craft summit organized by the ladies who put on Crafty Bastards, a humongous indie craft show). We really wished there was an indie craft event in Cincinnati, and eventually we realized that we should step up and do it ourselves! It's either the DIY mentality kicking in or a pretty solid sense of masochism, I'm not sure which.
CB: You seem to be an indie craft guru. What is your crafting experience? What inspires you to craft? What crafts do you make/specialize in?
GD: That's the first time I've heard that one! I've just been crafting a long-ass time. I've been printmaking since I was a teenager and then took a course on bookbinding my freshman year of college. It just kind of snowballed after that, and I sought out like-minds on the internet. Right around 2000 was a turning point for indie craft... it got a name, the indie craft shows started coming out, and all the movers and shakers were on these craft message boards and got to know each other. Some of the folks I know from those boards back in the day I ended up interviewing for my book, Crafty Superstar.
I'm not a full-time crafter (I'm a magazine editor and writer by trade) but I love connecting with people and talking to people. There are plenty of crafters who are much more successful than me at being a business, but I saw a lot of word-of-mouth information that hadn't been collected anywhere else. And my book was born!
CB: What role does crafting play in our modern world, so to speak? Why is it important?
GD: I think the popularity of craft is a direct backlash to the super-industrialized big-box shopping culture. People are starting to see the value in knowing exactly where the things they buy come from, and there's nothing better than finding an object you absolutely love and getting to talk to the person who made it. Of course, big-box stores recognize that this aesthetic is totally hot, so you see crafty-ish knockoffs for sale that are probably handmade... but by child laborers who may or may not be working against their will.
There are also a pretty big number of crafters who focus on using sustainable, local and/or recycled materials. And of course, when you support an indie artist, you are directly supporting your local economy. I can almost guarantee the $10 you spend at Crafty Supermarket will turn around and get spent on bus fare for the Metro, dinner at Melt or drinks at the Tavern later.
CB: What vendors will be on hand at the market?
GD: We've got a really wide range of crafters—selected from almost 70 applications, which just blew us away. The crafters make jewelry, paper goods, housewares, kid's stuff, clothing, art, knit things—all sorts of stuff. We also tried to get a balance of crafters in terms of wanting this to represent Cincinnati crafters—about three-quarters of the vendors are from the Cincinnati region. And although we have a lot of vendors who are old hands at the indie craft sale thing, we also wanted to make sure to bring in some folks who are doing a show for the first time, because once upon a time, we were the newbies.
CB: What sort of crafts will attendees be able to make at the Make It! Table?
GD: We've got a really random assortment of supplies and guest curation by the crafty people from BYOProject, which is a crafty collective that meets at Happen Inc. in Northside once a month. It's an anything-goes kind of craft situation, but specifically we've got paper to make your own album cover (12-inch, of course), and little paperboard albums that you can decorate to make your own storybook or draw a demented family album. Whatev!
CB: Will this become an annual event? Do you have any other events planned for the future?
GD: From the very beginning Alisha and I have kept saying stuff like "Next year, we are so doing X and Y," or "Next year, we are never doing Z again." It's just felt kind of natural that this would roll into being an annual event. Plus, since the response has been so huge (our Facebook event has 130 guests at this point) that it would be a shame to never do it again!
We don't have any more events planned immediately—we need some recovery time!—but at this point we're totally planning to do something even bigger for next fall. The late fall is primo craft sale time because people are much more willing to spend money to buy gifts for other people. It's pretty safe to say you'll see Crafty Supermarket again next fall.
As their press release so eloquently puts it, "2008's 'Best New Bar in Cincinnati' slowly died three weeks ago, and no one seemed to notice. From being consistently full of thirsty bohemian patrons and hosting national up-and-coming bands (Vampire Weekend played a week before their debut on SNL) to a potted-plant-ridden empty mess—The Gypsy Hut's rise and fall was about as meteoric as MC Hammer's. … Luckily, two devoted Northsiders have been working feverishly to reopen and restore the bar to its former glory and more."
If Mark Twain was right about Cincinnati being 10 years behind the times nearly a century ago, it would be safe to expect the Industrial Revolution and Internet age by now to have dropped our fair city even further behind society's advancements.
If the Oct. 8 Cincinnati Bike Plan open house at the McKie Recreation Center in Northside is an indication that Cincinnati is finally sincere about promoting bicycles as a legitimate transportation option, that would put us approximately 40 years behind the most progressive American cities in this regard. But it's better late than never, according to the nearly 100 people who showed up to participate in the information-gathering session with city engineers and design groups currently working on the city's first comprehensive bike plan since 1976.

Always size a fin using your normal sneaker type shoe sizing. Each fin on our online catalog will show a sizing breakdown in the drop down box for selecting the fins. Open heel fins already take into account the fact that they are designed for use with a bootie of some sort, so there is no adjustment required.

Art and About in October
Arts & Entertainment
by James Gaddy, 09/18/2012
- more in arts & entertainment/
- recently/
- events in nyc/
This month, two museums in New York open retrospectives of stylistic masters who refuse easy categorization. At the Guggenheim, Picasso Black and White finds a new way to tell the familiar story of Pablo Picasso: through the lens of color. Collecting 118 examples of the Guernica artist's work from 1904 to 1971, the show, opening on October 5, illustrates how the father of Cubism and co-inventor of collage often used nothing but black, white and gray—and the endless shades in between, as seen in the 1926 piece The Milliner's Workshop—in addition to the monochromatic blues and roses from his early career.
At the Whitney, a retrospective of the often-misunderstood artist Richard Artschwager aims to clarify some of the confusion, but his work crosses so many genres—from the everyday objects found in Pop to the solid geometry of minimalism to the cerebral rigor of Conceptual Art—that it's easier to just go along for the ride and enjoy the perceptual games he plays with your expectations. The show, opening on October 25, is the first retrospective of the maverick's work since 1988.
Two exhibitions in the City focus on the ways in which specific locations influenced artists during a seminal 20-year period. At the New Museum, Come Closer: Art Around the Bowery, 1969–1989 focuses on more than 15 artists who made the neighborhood—long synonymous with urban decay and neglect—their own creative community during those lean years. The show includes work ranging from pinhole camera photographer Barbara Ess and mural graffitist Keith Haring to musicians like Dee Dee and Joey Ramone and their designer, Arturo Vega. Coincidentally, the latest group of sculptural paintings from Charles Hinman, one of this year's Guggenheim fellowship winners and a longtime resident of the Bowery, is on view at Marc Straus through October 5.
A counterpoint to the Bowery show is on view at MoMA PS1. Now Dig This! Art and Black Los Angeles 1960–1980, opening on October 21, collects 140 works created by 32 LA-based African-American artists during the turbulent civil rights decades, most notably African American Flag creator David Hammons; Betye Saar, who collected images of Aunt Jemima, Uncle Tom and Little Black Sambo for assemblage works; and John Outterbridge, the first director of the Watts Towers Art Center. A related show at the Society of Illustrators displays the 40 original oil paintings that artist Kadir Nelson made for Heart and Soul: The Story of America and African Americans, his children's book published by HarperCollins in 2011. That exhibition is on view through October 20.
Opening at The Museum of Modern Art on October 7, Alina Szapocznikow: Sculpture Undone 1955–1972, a retrospective of the Holocaust survivor's work, features more than 100 objects rarely seen outside her native Poland—including photography, drawings and the late artist's polyester resin casts of her mouth, arms and breasts translated into unconventional forms. Elsewhere, the winners of the Folly competition at Socrates Sculpture Park, Jerome Haferd and K Brandt Knapp, erase the distinctions between architecture and sculpture with Curtain, which combines common structural framing with plastic chain-link partitions (through October 21). And the highly formal subtle architectural composition found in James Welling's photographs can be seen at David Zwirner in Overflow, through October 27.
Three video performances this month upend the traditional viewing experience. At the Lower East Side gallery On Stellar Rays, Alix Pearlstein works with a group of actors to create a set of instructions that challenges traditional roles of who's watching and who's being observed in The Drawing Lesson, through October 21. At Gagosian Gallery through October 13, Douglas Gordon's The End of Civilisation documents a piano on fire in the Scottish landscape, eventually unveiling small surprises the longer you stay to watch. (Like a nature film in the truest sense, most of the change happens almost imperceptibly.) And at the two Luhring Augustine locations, Dutch artist Guido van der Werve exhibits films that happily play off themes of endurance. At the Chelsea gallery, his most recent film, Nummer veertien, home, is structured like a classical requiem, consisting of three movements and 12 acts. It is loosely based around the 1,000-mile-long triathlon he performed from Warsaw to Paris and builds to a climax that's as satisfying for its completion as for its beauty. (Through October 20.)

Apple rolls out Arabic version of Apple.com
Apple has rolled out a new version of its Apple.com website for Arabic language users in the United Arab Emirates. The site utilizes a right-to-left reading format where it has been updated, although the upgrade is still in progress with a number of page links still in the original English language left-to-right format. Of particular note is that the site debuts an all-new custom Arabic font created by the Tarek Atrissi Design agency, giving it a highly contemporary look and feel. The new support for Arabic on its host website follows the introduction of full support for right-to-left languages in iOS 9, and the addition of Arabic support to Siri late last year. http://apple.co/20JHGIM
Adobe previews Photoshop content-aware crop
Adobe has previewed a new 'content-aware crop' feature from the next version of its Photoshop CC. The new feature is similar to its 'content-aware fill' from the current version of Photoshop CC, and potentially saves users time when cropping photos in a way that might otherwise leave blank white space in the frame. Adobe's 'content-aware' tech automatically assesses the blank space and seamlessly fills the blank space with the nearest related content in the space when a photo is expanded or rotated without the need to manually clone that part of the image. The feature allows users to move a horizon by adding more sky or ground, change the aspect ratio by adding content around the edges of the image and fill in the corners of an image when rotated during a crop. Adobe says the feature is coming soon and will be automatically available to Creative Cloud subscribers. http://adobe.ly/20JDFEu

Filner draws $160,000 line in sand
Mayor says tourism money shouldn't be used above that pay amount
Should city tourism funds go to organizations that pay salaries above $160,000?
Yes 53% (329)
No 47% (292)
621 total votes.
Mayor Bob Filner's latest offer to hoteliers who want him to sign off on a renewal of the marketing program for San Diego came with an unusual demand: no agency that pays anyone a salary over $160,000 could receive the sought-after marketing revenues.
Why $160,000?
It turns out that's about how much is paid to the head of the city's Tourism Marketing District, which collects the 2 percent surcharge on hotel rooms and spends it to promote tourism.
More pointedly, the amount is far less than what's paid to some of the organizations that get large sums of the tax money in grants:
• The Tourism Authority, which runs the convention and visitors bureau, paid CEO Joe Terzi $435,121, according to 2011 tax documents, the most recent available. The group receives about $23 million per year from the hotel fee, most of its budget.
• The San Diego Bowl Game Association pays its chief $259,688. The group receives about $450,000 a year of tourism marketing money.
• The San Diego North Convention and Visitors Bureau pays its CEO $199,066. The group receives about $2.7 million a year of the tourism money.
"Look, $160,000, sounds to most people like a big salary, and it's in the top percent or percent-and-a-half of salaries in this country," Filner said at a news conference Monday. "That's a pretty good salary."
The mayor's signature is required before the $30 million a year can be spent to promote San Diego tourism, and Filner's predecessor, Jerry Sanders, failed to sign a renewal deal approved by the City Council.
Filner has used his leverage to seek various concessions, although he may be compelled by a judge to sign the contract.
His previous demand had been for higher wages for hotel workers. When that was rejected, he came up with an offer that seems designed to focus more attention on the haves-versus-have-nots theme of his recent political campaign.
"Why should the city be fostering half-million-dollar salaries?" he said Monday. "Nobody would tolerate a city employee doing this."
U-T Watchdog used data from the State Controller's Office to determine that, in fact, 42 city employees were paid more than $160,000 in salary and overtime in 2011, including some fire captains, a deputy city attorney and the city's chief operating officer, who took home $261,881.
Filner is entitled to a $100,000 salary as mayor. Although he described salaries above the $160,000 mark as "exorbitant" for tourism executives, he rebuffed a question about the city employees at that level.
That's 42 "out of 10,000," Filner said, adding that none of them come near Terzi's pay.
"I want to know what Mr. Terzi — who is getting this public money— is doing making $500,000 a year. I want to know his pension, I want to know his golden parachute, I want to know his health benefits. That's what every city employee has to give (to the public.)"
Terzi said that Filner was losing sight of the bigger picture.
"Frankly, I don't know what somebody makes outside of his control is any of his business," Terzi said. "I wish he'd worry about the millions of dollars worth of advertising we don't have in the market right now more than what my salary is. It's a shame we're getting focused on one individual and having that the reason for him not doing what he should be doing, which is making sure we can promote San Diego and drive economic development."
Richard Rider, chairman of the San Diego Tax Fighters, disagreed with Filner that 42 is a paltry number — and questioned why Filner picked the $160,000 figure, calling it "capricious" and "not thought out."

I did a fresh install of 4.0 RC1 on RHEL4 (zcs-NETWORK-4.0.0_RC1_272.RHEL4.tgz).
Everything is great except the logger isn't working. The server status page says 'logger service must be installed'.
In the 'servers' -> services tab, the 'logger' is checked. I've rebooted (several times), and the /opt/zimbra/startup.log says that logger started each time.
Looking at wiki pages, I tried
# logmysql zimbra_logger
but that throws a mysql error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/opt/zimbra/logger/db/mysql.sock'
So, then I wanted to see what databases were there:
# su - zimbra
# mysql
mysql> show databases;
| Database |
| mailbox1 |
| mailbox2 |
| mailbox3 |
| mailbox4 |
| mailbox5 |
| mailbox6 |
| mailbox7 |
| mailbox8 |
| mysql |
| test |
| zimbra |
I don't see a zimbra logger db. Is it possible installer failed to create a db? I'm new to zimbra so I don't know what I should be seeing.

Primary Source of the Month
Signing of the Constitution, by Howard Chandler Christy. Washington D.C., 1940.
Courtesy of the Architect of the Capitol.
Howard Chandler Christy's Signing of the Constitution depicts 39 of the 55 delegates present at the Constitutional Convention in 1787. The painting was commissioned in 1939, and the 20 x 30 ft oil-on-canvas hangs in the United States Capitol.
Christy wanted the portraits in the painting to be as accurate as possible. He worked from portraits of 37 of the 39 signers pictured (he obscured the faces of the two signers for whom he could not find portraits). He also researched correct clothing, furniture, and artifacts, even borrowing a pair of George Washington's breeches from the Smithsonian Institution and some of Thomas Jefferson's books from the Library of Congress. After five years of research, Christy painted for seven months in the sail loft of the Navy Yard in Washington D.C.

Environmental aggressors can cause hair to become dry and stressed, leading to frizziness and breakage. The sun, wind, and dry internal air draw moisture from hair, making it vulnerable to damage. This is compounded by heat from styling tools, such as blow-dryers, tongs, and straightening irons. Phyto Conditioners hydrate hair and shield it from harm. Containing beneficial plant extracts, these natural products nourish, repair, and protect the hair. By providing essential moisture to the hair shaft, Phyto Conditioners strengthen hair and enhance its natural elasticity, preventing breakage and split ends.

Apply this sumptuous conditioner after shampooing and leave for 2 to 3 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Cocoa butter, shea butter, sesame, and castor plant oils will smooth and detangle the hair. These natural ingredients penetrate the hair shaft to enhance strength and elasticity.
Fine and medium-textured hair will benefit from Phyto Phytobaume Detangling Conditioner for All Hair Types. This lightweight conditioner detangles and restructures the hair without weighing it down. Mallow extract and colza oil work together to replenish the hair with moisture, leaving it shiny and healthy. This gentle formula is safe to use on hair that has been color-treated.

Phyto Phytomist Instant Hydrating Conditioner is an effective leave-in conditioner which delivers essential moisture where it is most needed and protects the hair from the damage that can be caused by UV rays. Containing white lotus flowers, red algae, and sunflower extracts, this natural conditioner leaves hair soft, silky, and easy to style.

Career Services Center
Parent Resources
One of the most valuable things a parent can do to assist their student with the career planning process is to listen and maintain an open mind to often unclear and wandering ideas. Career development can be stressful—this may be the first really big decision your student has ever had to make. Be patient, empathetic and understanding, even if you don't agree with their thought processes, musings, comments, ideas, or decisions at first.
Helping them access a variety of resources to refine their career development ideas, including accessing electronic information, identifying their natural and familial networks, and encouraging them to utilize the resources available to them (like the Career Services Center) are also very helpful activities. The following is a list of things you as parents can do to help your child get focused:
Encourage your student to visit the Career Services Center.
Many students' heads are spinning during their first semester in college, so perhaps the spring semester of their first year is the best time to encourage a visit to the CSC. You should reassure your student that Career Services is for ALL students and majors, not just seniors, and that meeting with a career counselor can take place at any point in their college career—however, the earlier the better!
Our counseling sessions are not just about post-graduate planning. In fact, one of the most valuable aspects of an early career conversation is planning out what you can take advantage of during your time at CMC. Studying abroad, going to Washington DC, participating in the Silicon Valley Program, applying to the various networking trips offered, doing research for faculty, working at one of the Institutes, and community service are things all students should consider—and they require planning. Encourage your student to focus their counseling session on what they can do during their time at CMC, not just about post graduation plans. The point is, this discussion should happen early in their time at CMC.
Suggest your student prepare a resume and cover letter.
A resume is one of the critical "tools of the trade" at CMC and will be needed for countless opportunities during CMC and beyond. The earlier your student puts one together the better.
Writing a resume is quite a challenge and can highlight areas of strength and weakness. Resume examples are available in the CSC Guide book, which is accessible in hard copy from the office as well as on our website. The CSC also has books and additional online resources for creating resumes and cover letters, along with our Career Consultants who are experts in coaching students through this process.
Encourage your student to let you proofread their resume for grammar, spelling, consistency and content, or, if they prefer, recommend they have someone else look at it—but please suggest that your student have AT LEAST one other person review their resume and cover letter before sending it.
Encourage your student to think about what they want to do.
"What do you want to do after you graduate?" Ask this question gently as it can cause great angst for many students. This is definitely a topic that needs to be discussed. If your student seems unsure, talk about the positive personal qualities and traits you see in them and where those might be put to good use. Recommend that they meet with a Career Counselor to discuss options. They can take one of the assessment tests offered by the CSC, or talk with faculty members they know and trust. Doing research in the CSC library or online, attending industry nights and information sessions are also excellent ways to become "occupationally literate". A career decision should be a process and not a one-time, last-minute choice. Discourage waiting until senior year to start seeking the answer to this question.
Emphasize the value of Internships or volunteer experiences.
Relevant work experience in this very competitive job market is critical, so internships are key. An internship provides a "laboratory setting" for your student to determine what he/she wants to do (or not do), is good at (or is not good at), likes (or dislikes)—all of which is important. Employers are interested in employees who have:
- strong communication skills, oral and writing
- critical thinking and problem solving skills
- the ability to work in teams
- project management skills and the ability to take initiative and follow through
- the ability to tilize technology effectively
Internships and volunteer positions are excellent opportunities to learn, hone and refine these important skills and abilities.
Internships also allow employers to see how an individual functions in the workplace and gives a leg up to those whose organizations "promote from within". They also create an opportunity to obtain a professional recommendation, which can be very valuable in the job search process.
Suggest extracurricular involvement.
Involvement in college outside of the classroom is looked upon favorably by potential employers. Interpersonal and leadership skills can be developed through participation in dorm leadership, student government, on-campus work, becoming a Resident Advisor, committing to community service and a myriad of other opportunities. Excellent places to look for these types of opportunities are our Office of Civic Engagement or our Office of Student Affairs.
Persuade your student to stay up on current events.
At CMC your student will find that knowledge of current events is critical because that's what students discuss during dinner at Collins. Employers appreciate an awareness of current events as well! Employers expect that students will be able to respond knowledgeably to questions about what's going on in the real world, and that expectation extends to an understanding of what is going in potential employment fields. Provide your student with a subscription to the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, or whatever publication is predominant in their field of interest. (These will probably be online subscriptions or smartphone "apps".)
Expose your student to the world of work.
Take your student to your place of work. Explain to them what you do for a living, and what your friend does, and what their aunt/uncle does, etc. Encourage your student to participate in the "Careers In" and "Field Trip" series offered by the CSC and see first-hand how and where business is done.
Teach the value of networking.
The most effective way to find employment is through networking—talking with people who are in the work place or are affiliated with the work place in which you are interested. Help your student identify their natural networks (friends/family) and also encourage them to access the network offered by CMC. There are numerous ways of doing this—attending events on campus, accessing our alumni database, joining the CMC Alumni Association LinkedIn group, etc.

This week's issue of CityBeat profiles three of the candidates in the hotly contested race for Ohio's 1st Congressional District seat. Not surprisingly, two of the candidates are claiming that the other misrepresented or distorted his views.
The campaign of Republican incumbent Steve Chabot took umbrage at a paraphrased statement from his Democratic challenger, Steve Driehaus, that pertained to housing issues. It read, "Worse, Chabot hasn't proposed any legislation that would help the wave of foreclosures and resulting blight that has swept the West Side over the past few years."
Katie Fox, Chabot's spokeswoman, noted the congressman addressed the foreclosure and mortgage crisis by passing a bill in December in a compromise with U.S. Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) that gave bankruptcy judges the discretion to modify the value of a mortgage to the true market price and to adjust the interest rate. It applied only to debtors who file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy and lack the income to pay their expenses, according to The Hill newspaper.
The Driehaus campaign responded by pointing out the statement referred to Chabot's entire 14-year period in office, and specifically stated that the mortgage crisis was causing blight on Cincinnati's West Side for years before Chabot acted.
Meanwhile, Driehaus also is criticizing TV commercials that Chabot and the national Republican Party are airing that allege Driehaus hasn't taken a stance on the $850 billion Wall Street bailout plan approved recently by Congress. Chabot opposed the plan.
Driehaus says he's made it clear he would've reluctantly voted for the plan had he been in Congress. "We had to do something, but I think it's ridiculous that pork spending was put into this bill," he said. "It would be irresponsible for Congress to allow the financial markets to fail."
Further, Driehaus criticizes local republicans for waging a whisper campaign alleging that he doesn't support Barack Obama, the Democratic Party's presidential nominee. Some West Side residents perceive Obama as too liberal for their tastes. Driehaus has appeared at events with Obama, and his Web site features a photograph of him with the Illinois senator.
Not everyone's convinced of Driehaus' sincerity, though. Democrat Eric Wilson, an outspoken Obama supporter who's running for the seat as an independent write-in candidate, said, "I know the political games. You go to the West Side of town and don't mention Obama's name at appearances."
— Kevin Osborne
As Election Day draws near, the rumors and lies about what is and isn't allowed at a polling place begin to swirls. In addition to the usual anti-immigrant rhetoric (yes, you can take a translator into the voting booth if you need one) and the hate-all-criminals mantra (ex-felons are allowed to vote, as not all states discriminate) there's a new twist this year thanks to the financial crisis (people in the midst of a foreclosure are allowed to vote).
Just gathering anecdotal info from CityBeat staffers and photographers, voting is going well so far. Long lines have been reported in Clifton, Northside, College Hill and the West Side, with voting this morning at the Main Public Library downtown taking 90 minutes. Basically, as expected, every precinct is seeing more voters than normal but there are no major problems reported (other than a lack of parking at certain schools and churches).
Breaking with the wishes of Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters, a special prosecutor appointed to investigate allegations of voter registration fraud said today there's no need to quarantine the votes in question.
Well, that's what Brian Busken of Busken Bakery calls it.
Maybe McCain cookies will go on sale Wednesday?
As we head back to work and school today after the holiday break, Barack Obama's inauguration as president is just two weeks away. The much-promised and long-anticipated change is almost upon us, and we'll finally get what we've been hoping for after "catching the car" we were chasing.

Finding beauty beyond America's borders
(Page 2 of 3)
I met and married my wife while serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in Bulgaria from 1991 to 1993, teaching English at the Vasil Drumev High School for Mathematics and Natural Sciences in Veliko Turnovo. We have returned to Bulgaria a number of times since — both our children first flew to Sofia when they were 6 months old.
You would have thought the protests might put a damper on our family vacation, but instead they filled us with hope. My wife and I explained to our kids that, before 1989, when Bulgaria peacefully transitioned from a communist bloc nation to an independent social democracy, such protests never would have been allowed. But there the people were, exercising their rights to assembly and free speech, calling for radical reform of their government. It was democracy in action. It was beautiful.
Like any mass protest, subgroups had their own agendas, but the overarching theme was simple: Change was needed –– now!
Bulgaria is among the European Union's poorest countries, with a per-capita income of $6,640 a year, according to the United Nations. Its gross domestic product –– the sum of its goods and services –– was $51 billion in 2012, roughly what President Obama proposed in February to repair America's roads and bridges.
Bulgarians are a highly educated and proud people, with a deep-rooted history. In the late 1300s, the nation fell under brutally oppressive Ottoman Turkish rule for 500 years before gaining independence in 1878 during the Russo-Turkish War. Thereafter, Bulgaria was reborn as a constitutional monarchy, with trading partners throughout southeastern Europe.
After World War II, when Europe was divided between East and West, Bulgaria fell under Soviet communist control, which led to political and economic stagnation. More than two decades after the country embraced democracy and capitalism in the "quiet revolution" of 1989, it struggles still to catch up economically with the West, and Bulgarians, particularly young people, want a fairer shake.
