LTL news: UPS Freight makes further cross-border transit time enhancements between U.S.-Canada
June 14, 2011
UPS Freight, the less-than-truckload (LTL) subsidiary of UPS said this week it has improved transit times from Vancouver, British Columbia to 181 United States cities in the Midwest and Northeast.
This follows a November announcement by UPS Freight, when the company announced it was focusing on improving service from the southwest and western regions of the U.S., with two-day service from Denver and Las Vegas to Calgary and Edmonton, as well as three-day service to Calgary and Edmonton from the Dallas Metroplex and southern California.
The company said it expects to reduce transit times to these 181 cities from Vancouver by at least one full day, and they added that UPS Freight has reduced transit times on more than 1,200 lanes running between Canada and the U.S.
"UPS Freight is always looking for ways to improve the value we offer to
customers," said Ira Rosenfeld, UPS Freight spokesman, in a recent interview. "Strengthening our time-in-transit position across the US/Canada markets has been a priority for some time.
When asked what the biggest benefits of this news are for shippers, Rosenfeld cited enhanced speed for shippers to get their product to their end customer faster, which in turn, shrinks their supply chain.
UPS Freight officials also noted that shippers can process, manage and track cross-border shipments through the company's proprietary UPS WorldShip and Quantum View Manage technology.
"This news re-enforces the message that UPS Freight continues to look for ways to provide additional value for our customers," said Rosenfeld. "Despite the challenging economic and industry times, over the last several years, UPS Freight has remained committed to strengthening our LTL freight value proposition along core areas of reliability, speed, and technology."
Shipments moving in these lanes are covered by UPS Freight's no-fee delivery guarantee for customers shipping on its current 525 tariff.
Company officials added that shippers can track and process both their small package and LTL shipments through UPS's proprietary WorldShip and Quantum View Manage technology.
"UPS is committed to doing everything it can to enable and simplify global trade, including the efficient movement of cross-border LTL shipments between the United States and its largest trading partner, Canada," said UPS Freight President Jack Holmes in a statement. "We're going to continue looking for ways to support the Canadian business community in further developing its trade with the U.S."

I have tried the procedures of "Restrict Postfix Recipients" & "Restrict sending to certain domains" from ZimbraWiki to make change in /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/main.cf ....... however, they could not fit for our requirement...
1/ ONLY allow the specified senders could initial an email for sending to wherever (i.e. "Mail From")
2/ Restrict the allowed senders to send mails to allowed recipients ONLY (i.e. "Rcpt To")
3/ Among the specified senders, only special accounts could send to *anyone* within the allowed recipients
I would like to address above point 1 & 2, it's OK if point 3 could not be solved anyway~
Referring to the setting of "Restrict Postfix Recipients", it could only control who could sending mails to the specified recipients.... but even the not allowed senders (defined in "permitted_senders") could send mails to unspecified recipients (not defined in "protected_recipients")... it's focusing on the recipients.
I have successfully restricted who can send mails using the zimbra mail server by adding this line:
smtpd_sender_restrictions = hash:/opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/permitted_senders, reject
Remark: Both of the two lines for setting of "permitted_senders_list" & "smtpd_restriction_classes" is disabled without any side effect.
However, I just cannot control the "rcpt to" behavior...... even I have changed the setting for "smtpd_recipient_restrictions", the line just returned to the original one after restart zimbra !!
Original line in main.cf
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = hash:/opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/protected_recipients, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, permit_sasl_authenticated, permit_mynetworks, reject_unlisted_recipient, reject_invalid_hostname, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_unauth_destination, permit
Modified line in main.cf
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = hash:/opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/protected_recipients, reject
* I though the reason which could not restrict the "Rcpt To" is because, the default of the original line is set to permit instead of reject.....
Does anyone know how to do that? And please guide me to the right track, thanks!
p.s. Indeed, we just want to allow some office users with @domainB.com a/c to send mails to retail shop staff with @shop.domainB.com a/c, and only allow them to reply to the office users (no inter-mails between @shop.domainB.com is allowed). As this case is somehow complicated, so we may give up the point 3....

Intermodal shipping: Hub Group subsidiary acquires Domestic Transport Inc.
June 13, 2011 - LM Editorial
Freight transportation and logistics services provider Hub Group Inc. said today that earlier this month its Comtrak Logistics Inc. subsidiary, which offers national drayage and truckload services, acquired Domestic Transport Inc., a Pacific, Washington-based provider of intermodal drayage services.
Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
"This acquisition is well aligned with our goal of growing Hub Group's drayage network," said Chris Kravas, Chief Intermodal Officer for Hub Group, in a statement.
"This is the 25th Comtrak terminal in our network and it gives us a significant drayage operation in the Seattle market."
Launched in 2005, Domestic Transport has expanded from a one-truck operation hauling containers out of the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma to a 22-driver operation handling container deliveries in Washington State and throughout the Pacific Northwest, according to Hub.
In January, Hub announced that two new Comtrak terminals were opened in Indianapolis and Milwaukee for customer service and operational reasons, Comtrak President Jim Ronchetto told LM.
In terms of shipper benefits that come with opening these new terminals, Ronchetto said that having these new terminals allows Comtrak to shuttle loads more efficiently with terminal locations located closer to actual freight locations. And he added it allows the company to prepare for anticipated legislative changes and serve a wider area while factoring in possible changes like truck driver hours-of-service.
And in early April the Hub Group acquired asset-light transportation company Exel Transportation Services (ETS), a subsidiary of Deutsche Post World Net, for $83 million. Exel Transportation Services was renamed at Mode Transportation.
Mode is comprised of roughly 300 Independent Business Owners (IBO) that sell and operate the business throughout North America, with corporate offices in Dallas and Memphis, a company-managed operation in Dallas, and a temperature-protected services division called Temstar in Lombard, Illinois, which has 500 temperature-controlled trailers. Mode will be based in Dallas.
Hub officials were not available for additional comments regarding the acquisition of Domestic Transport at press time.

I would like to use Zimbra as Calendar within a specific application.
I will have to handle 2 types of appointments : standard Zimbra appointments, and specific appointments.
I will let Zimbra handle standard appointments.
However, I will have to develop a specific screen and action (calling Zimbra WebServices) in order to create/modify/delete specific type of appointments.
My question : How can I have this specific screen opened from a clic on calendar.
For example, is it possible that :
- when I left-click on a free space on calendar, it opens standard screen to create a standard new appointment
- when I right-click on a free space on calendar, it opens my specific screen to create a specific new appointment
An other idee would be to add a button "specific appointment" on standard "new appointment" screen, that would open my specific screen. But then, when the user will have to modify/delete the appointment, I must be able to automatically open the correct screen, depending on the fact that the appointment to modify is standard or specific.
Could you please tell me if these ideas are realistic, and how to do this ?
Otherwise, maybe someone have other ideas on how to do this ?
Thanks in advance (and sorry for my bad english).

A record number of federal wage and hour lawsuits were filed under the Fair Labor Standards Act in 2012, according to employment law firm Seyfarth Shaw.
There were 7,064 such cases filed in the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2012, up from 2,035 in the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2002, according to data from the law firm.
The claims forming the bulk of these numbers include: misclassification of employees, alleged uncompensated "work" performed off the clock and miscalculation of overtime pay for nonexempt workers, according to Richard Alfred, chair of Seyfarth's wage and hour litigation practice.
"The release of the 2012 data reinforces the fact that these FLSA claims are still gaining momentum, and that they continue to be a major, growing threat to U.S. employers," Alfred said.

|Public Utilities Commission adopts telecom rule changes
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
The Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC) issued its written order Monday, Dec. 17 adopting telecommunications rule changes that will both protect Colorado consumers and allow them to have the benefits of a competitive marketplace.
The PUC, in deliberations late last month, approved changes that recognize the technological and competitive changes in an evolving industry. The new rules set a policy framework for reducing regulation on basic voice service in areas found to have effective competition. Subsidies for basic voice service in competitive areas will be eliminated, unless a telecom provider can demonstrate a continued need for support.
The rules changes are the result of a lengthy process of public hearings and soliciting input from telecom providers and customers. The PUC will begin a review in early 2013 to determine where effective competition exists for basic telecommunications services across the state. That proceeding is expected to continue at least through the first six months of the year.
The PUC stated that a starting point for determining whether effective competition exists in a geographic area is the presence of multiple providers of basic voice service. Other factors, contained in Colorado law, also will be considered, including the extent of economic, technological or other barriers to market entry; the ability of consumers to obtain service from other providers at reasonable and comparable rates, on comparable terms and under comparable conditions; and the ability of any provider to affect prices or deter competition.
In areas that have effective competition, retail rate regulation for basic service will be removed. The PUC will retain jurisdiction over E-911 emergency services. Areas that do not have effective competition will remain fully regulated.
In its rules, the PUC made permanent a $54 million cap on the state high cost fund, which had been temporarily in place for the previous six months.

The Ayurvedic tradition is one of the oldest natural healing practices that are still in use today, and there's a reason why men and women have sought out its treatments for centuries; many Ayurvedic remedies have been proven in western scientific studies to be effective.

I hope you're having a wonderful Valentine's Day! My kids are off school today, and are in the other room in a chocolate coma, giving me a few minutes to type.
You'll love this pork. Unless you don't like pork. Then you should use a beef chuck roast or something similar.
I had a frozen pork butt/shoulder in the freezer and wanted to make a pulled pork of some sort but wasn't feeling in the mood for barbecue sauce. I threw together this dry rub in a few seconds using pantry staples, and was really happy with the end result. The meat is perfect--- not gloppy wet, not dried out ---- just perfectly seasoned with a very pleasant flavor.
The secret is the anise. Don't be scared that your meat will taste like black licorice --- I'm a red vine kind of girl (THEY ARE NOT GLUTEN FREE!) -- and always steered clear of anything black licorice, and I promise you that the anise just gives a lovely flavor you're not going to be able to recreate without it. A bottle will last you for quite a while, and if you have extra, my friend Jenny made some awesome cookies using anise.
The Ingredients.
serves 6 - 8
1 onion, peeled and sliced into rings
3 to 4 pounds pork roast (butt/shoulder)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground corriander
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon anise seeds
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 to 2 limes, for serving (optional)
The Directions.
Use a 6-quart slow cooker. Place the onion rings into the bottom of your cooker, and spread them apart a bit with your fingers. Place the pork directly on top --- my meat was still frozen. If there is netting on your meat, cut it away.
In a small bowl, combine the sugar and all dry spices to create a rub. Using your fingers, rub this all over the meat, flipping a few times to ensure good coverage.
Cover, and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or until meat has lost shape and pulls apart easily with a large fork.
Serve over a bed of rice or quinoa, or stuff into pita pockets, lettuce leaves, etc.
I squeezed a bit of lime onto our servings, and enjoyed the contrast in flavors, but it's certainly not necessary.
We had enough leftover for me to reheat on the stovetop (or in the Ninja!) with a 1/2 bottle of barbecue sauce the next day for sandwiches.
The Verdict.
I used to be allergic to pork; this last pregnancy re-programed my body, and I'm so happy that I can now add this meat into our meal rotation. I like how this seasoning blend doesn't create an overly sweet or sticky or gloppy meat --- not that those features are bad --- I just wasn't particularly in the mood for that, and this fit the bill!

Just about my very first experience in IT – brought onto a project as a customer 'expert' – was listening to the IT guys debating how to make use of the data we already had on the old system. In my naivety at the time I had thought computers used 'computer language'. Quickly I realised they were more like people than I had suspected – that there were lots of computer languages, and each computer spoke only one of them, and could make no sense of the others.
Now, in the interceding years (some 27 of them L) great progress has been made – we expect computers to talk to each other. This almost universal technological communication ability sometimes blinds IT people to the fact that human communication has not evolved similarly.
Until we perfect direct thought transference, all the communication we do, whether written or spoken, texted, tweeted or painted on the walls, relies on a two stage process. First you put your ideas into words (usually words and sometimes also gestures or pictures – or a combination of all three). Then someone else has to take those words etc and turn them into thoughts inside their head. There is always an 'encrypt/decrypt' section to human communication.
Now that can get messy, confusing and create all sorts of mistakes in delivering the message. You probably wouldn't design it that way. In fact in a pure IT context we would be looking at ways to deliver direct communication in a standard format from one system to the other. But people don't work that way; it is what we have and we need to work with it.
Communication isn't just about being accurate; I think it is better measured by whether it is useful. In IT, people still manage to get the communication spectacularly wrong by not thinking about the whether the customer (or client or user) is equipped to decrypt the message. As one example, here is an error message I got on my screen the other day, apparently intended to inform me why the software couldn't do what I had asked it to do: "Unable to contact the target back-end forwarding host (proxy target)". I presume that made perfect sense to the person who set the software up to deliver that. They were maybe a great programmer, but evidently not a human communications specialist.
It's easy enough just to dismiss this as one more version of 'Computer says no', but why is it no surprise? Maybe it's because we still seem to think it OK to throw our jargon at others who don't share it. Or maybe we forget they don't know what we do. Actually, to be fair this is not only an IT thing – ask anyone who has been caught on a French train having failed to quite understand the printed message exhorting them "composter votre billet". (And if you don't already know but intend to travel on a French train, trust me, you need to find out what it means, but it isn't a French word that they usually teach you in basic language classes. A classic case of encrypt/decrypt failure in a service management situation that has nothing to do with IT.)
The technologists amongst us love the challenge of integration, communication across platforms etc. but there is recognition that this is expensive and should be unnecessary – an area where standards and commonality help everyone. Why do we forget our most common encrypt/decrypt situation – getting a message from one mind to another.
I hope that the irresistible tide of universal cloud adoption and pervasive social media communication will solve all these troubles – and allow us to concentrate on the people issues more. But so far the social media snowball doesn't seemed to have reduced jargon – quite the opposite. Those of at a certain age are now totally incapable of understanding what are children are saying, even when they give us access to their on-line worlds.
Actually, this is fresh in my mind now because it forms a little game we will play during my talk at Monday 5th March at Pulse – our big SM event in Vegas next month. I plan to have people encrypting and decrypting during that session. I am interested to see how they get on, and hopefully to make them realise there are some simple tools we can use to make things better. Nothing magic, and the same techniques we demonstrate in the simulator. Mostly they rely on establishing common ground – establishing communication channels and learning what will work, by finding shared understandings, and by relying on more than words alone when it makes a difference.
The best part about all that is that from the outside it might look like gossip and drinking at the bar – but we realise it is building business critical communicating platforms and channels. The message that things can be both fun and relevant at the same time is also part of the session.
So, if you are at Pulse maybe you will be able to come along at 6pm on Monday. If not I hope to get the chance to encrypt/decrypt with you at another event this year. And thank you for your efforts in decrypting this message, I hope it wasn't too difficult – and I hope it has some resemblance inside your head to the one that was in mine.

Letters to the Editor: Lynbrook, East Rockaway
(Page 2 of 3)
Reading Jean Wall's loving tribute to her amazing son Glen in last week's Herald ("He's on the 'Bright Side of the Road.'") brought back many fond memories of him. I remember Glen as Brian's little brother, whom we enjoyed having around. I remember seeing him in the hallways and the cafeteria at Lynbrook High School. I admired his many accomplishments in athletics and academics, and yet he never boasted nor bragged. His modesty made these accomplishments all the more impressive. He was on the basketball court when I was in the wrestling room, but thankfully I had many chances to watch him play. On the court, he was just a kid having fun, playing hoops. One of his greatest gifts was how he would make you feel special when he smiled at you.
God bless you, Jean, for bringing such a beautiful soul into this world, and for enduring the suffering that you've experienced since his passing. I can't imagine the pain you live with each day, and I also can't imagine what the world would have been like without Glen. I find solace in my faith that someday I'll get to see him and his precious smile again.

Nevada Senate: Finally for my favorite Senate race of this election cycle, the Sharron Angle v. Harry Reid contest. Our numbers show Angle (52%) widening her lead to 6 points, largely due to Reid's numbers falling a bit to 46%. With only 2% undecided, Angle looks to be in good position for this race. The only remaining variables are: How many people will vote none of these, and who, if anyone, will vote for 3rd party candidate Scott Ashjan?
3.) Latinos' concerns:
October 16th . .
4.) Result:
Latinos made up 12 percent of Nevada voters, with 90 percent of them supporting Reid. Angle got only an 8 percent sliver of their support, according to a Latino Decisions poll.
90% to 8%?! Are you kidding?! You might have gotten 3-4% of WWII Jews to vote for Hitler.
Next: Meg Whitman vs. Jerry Brown, Governor of California.
1.) Early Meg Whitman campaign messaging:
Meg is 'tough as nails' on illegal immigration
May 14, 2010
SAN DIEGO –Meg Whitman says she's got the guts and determination to stand tough on illegal immigration, and she won't back down.
And she told a crowd of nearly 175 at a stop Thursday in San Diego, "I am 100 percent against amnesty, no exceptions."
2.) September Polling:
SurveyUSA Poll: Whitman Leads Brown By 47%-40% In CA-GOV Race
Eric Kleefeld | September 3, 2010, 11:14AM
The new SurveyUSA poll of the California gubernatorial race gives Republican Meg Whitman an expanding lead over Democrat Jerry Brown . .
3.) Latinos' concerns:
Former Whitman housekeeper alleges she was treated like 'garbage'
September 29, 2010 | 12:10 pm
The California governor's race took on a circus-like atmosphere Wednesday as a former housekeeper for Meg Whitman alleged the Republican gubernatorial nominee employed her for nearly nine years, even though Whitman knew the housekeeper was in the country illegally . . "I felt like she was throwing me away like a piece of garbage," Diaz said.
. . Whitman continued: "As required by law, once we learned she was an illegal worker, I immediately terminated Nicky's employment."
4.) Result:
White hypocrisy + nasty boss = familiar insults. Latinos aren't stupid.
Did Polls Underestimate Democrats' Latino Vote?
By NATE SILVER | November 3, 2010, 9:33 PM
. . "There is one overarching reason why the polls were wrong in Nevada," Mr. Barreto wrote in an e-mail to FiveThirtyEight. "The Latino vote."
His firm, which conducts interviews in both English and Spanish, had found that Latino voters — somewhat against the conventional wisdom — were relatively engaged by this election and for the most part were going to vote Democratic. Mr. Barreto also found that Latino voters who prefer to speak Spanish — about 40 percent of Latino voters in California meet this description, he told me — are particularly likely to vote Democratic. Pollsters who don't conduct bilingual interviewing at all, or who make it cumbersome for the respondent to take the poll in Spanish, may be missing these voters . .

Cyclone Women Take Drake Relays 4 x 1600 Title
DES MOINES, Iowa – The Iowa State women's 4 x 1600-meter relay made history Thursday in Drake Stadium. The Cyclone foursome of Maggie Gannon, Dani Stack, Crystal Nelson and Ej Okoro became the first Iowa Staters to win the event at the Drake Relays. The Iowa State men's 4 x 1,600-meter relay finished third.
"Our ladies did a great job," Iowa State head coach Corey Ihmels said. "They ran the race perfectly as planned. I enjoyed seeing them get to enjoy being Drake Relays champions."
The Iowa State women won in 19.16.69, the second-fastest clocking in school history. Minnesota was second in 19:23.25 and Loyola third in 19:31.85. Gannon said that it was time that a program that has won the last two Big 12 Conference cross country team titles stepped up in the longest relay in collegiate track and field.
"Our coaches have asked us and we have said ourselves 'why have we not won this relay,'" Gannon said.
Stack pushed Iowa State into a lead it never relinquished. Nelson held the lead and Okoro, an NCAA All-American, finished strong.
"This was something I really wanted to do since my freshman year, get a Drake flag," Stack, herself an All-American, said. "This year, running with my teammates, it is even better than being an All-American."
Nelson was the lone freshman on the quartet.
"I was so nervous, I didn't want to let these ladies down," Nelson said. "Coach told me to stay relaxed. I'm more comfortable at 5,000-meters but coach told me to run confidently. I am so proud of our team."
The men's team of Alec Baldwin of Spirit Lake, Edwin Serem, Jacob Aune of Fairfax and Mohamed Hrezi finished in 16:56.29. Notre Dame won the race in 16:42.89. Minnesota was second in 16:45.51.
Drake Results:
4x1600-meter relay: 1) IOWA STATE, 19:16.69.

Our 49th Jörðgarð (TM) Map of the Week comes from our forthcoming publication "The Northwest."
Grain Meadows is in the North Kingdom, which is ruled by vampire draugs. It is the ruling seat of vampire draug Duchess Hedvika, but there isn't too much else to distinguish it from other medium-sized towns.
Key to the Center of Grain Meadows
The southwestern part of the town is on a steppe that is about 20 feet/6 m higher than the northeastern section. The Middlewash (Location No. 1) flows into the upper section. When its course still was natural, it formed a waterfall just beyond the upper left hand corner of the map. The Æsir dammed the river to form two mill ponds, one to the left or west of the mapped area and the other on the upper step in the lower right (east) part of the map. The Lower Millstream (Location No. 4) flows directly out of the millpond beyond the map. Instead of having waterfalls, the Middlewash and the Lower Millstream both have double dams that are beyond the edge of the mapped area. The Upper Millstream (Location No. 22) also flows out of the unmapped mill pond. It flows through the town's upper steppe, powering Silvestr's Hammersmithy (Location No. 23) and Jiřina's Sawmill (Location No. 25), flowing from there directly to the drop in the landscape. Instead of plunging over the drop as a waterfall, the Upper Millstream is channeled to power the top-driven twin waterwheels of the Ducal Grain Mill (Location No. 21).
1. Middlewash. This narrow river flows down from the Foggy Mountains of Orchome in the west. (See the description above.)
2. Metoděj's Grain Mill. Master Miller Metoděj, a human male artisan, owns and operates the converted sawmill, which now mills flour and fodder and presses vegetable oil for local farmers. Metoděj charges a 10% milling fee. He employs a journeyman miller, human female artisan; two apprentices, human male and female commoners, and a laborer, human male commoner.
3. Blacksmith Drahoslav. Master Blacksmith Drahoslav, a human male artisan, makes a wide variety of metal wares and shoes horses for the folk of the Grain Meadows area. Caravans of the Royal Ministry of Trade also bring his products to more distant markets within the kingdom. Drahoslav does no work with weapons or armor. He employs two journeyman blacksmiths, human male and female artisans, and two apprentices, human male and female commoners.
4. Lower Millstream.
5. Edita's General Store. Edita, a human female merchant, buys both local goods and wares brought in by caravans of the Royal Ministry of Trade. She offers them for resale. She employs three sales persons and two laborers, all human male and female commoners.
6. Market Square.
7. Market Tavern. Ilja, a human male merchant owns and runs the tavern. It serves only the dark beer brewed by his wife, Jitka, in the brewhouse behind the tavern. The beer costs two copper pieces for a pint/half-liter tankard.
8. Cobbler Krytof. Master Cobbler Krytof, a human male artisan, makes shoes and boots for the greater Grain Meadows area. His leather comes from Gustav's Tannery (Location No. 29). One of his journeymen always travels with caravans of the Royal Ministry of Trade to take orders and measurements in more distant settlements. Krytof employs three journeyman cobblers, human male and female artisans, and two apprentices, human male and female commoners.
9. Chandler Ilona. Master Chandler Ilona, a human female artisan, makes candles for the greater Grain Meadows area. Caravans of the Royal Ministry of Trade also bring her products to more distant markets within the kingdom. Her tallow comes from the rendering house in Lone Dell (Osamělý Údolf), a tiny thorp a few miles/kilometers west of Grain Meadows. Ilona employs two journeyman chandlers, human male and female artisans; two apprentices, human male and female commoners, and two laborers, also human male and female commoners.
10. Wainright Libor. Master Wainwright Libor, a human male artisan, builds and repairs wagons, carts, wheelbarrows and the like. He employs three journeyman wainwrights, male and female human artisans; two apprentices, male and female human commoners, and two laborers, also male and female human commoners.
11. Matylda's Smokehouse. Master Butcher Matylda, a human female artisan, offers a wide selection of smoked meats, sausages and trout. She employs a journeyman butcher, human male artisan; an apprentice, human male commoner, and two salespersons, human male and female commoners.
12. Ducal Tithing House. The ducal treasurer, Galina, a human female merchant, is the nominal head of this operation. On a day-to-day basis, however, it is run by the ducal tithe master, Bořivoj, a human male merchant. Taxes in the form of tithed crops and products are delivered here, where Bořivoj keeps the books. Bořivoj supervises a crew of three bookkeepers, human male and female merchants; four laborers, human male and female commoners, and four soldiers from the garrison, who provide police service. Goods are stored in the tithing house, pending further distribution or sale.
13. Town Hall and Granary. Burgomaster Anděla, a human female merchant, heads the town government. It employs six clerks, all human male and female merchants, and eight laborers, all human male and female commoners. Storage crops and grains that are the town's share of the tithes are kept in the granary to feed the folk in times of emergency. The town's jail is in the cellar of the town hall.
14. Ravine Bridge. The bridge crosses no water. Instead, it leads the town road up the side of the slope, connecting the lower town with the upper town.

Teodor survived 11 years as vampire draug fodder before being made a trusty jailer. His wife, Nora, a human female commoner, remained faithful to Teodor during his 11 years in the tower and agreed to remain with him there when the duchess gave him the opportunity to become a trusty jailer. Neither Teodor nor Nora takes any interest in the tower's prisoners.
17. Ducal Staff Housing. All human castle employees except Jindřika and their families dwell in this complex. It is off limits to attacks by vampire draugs.

The main duties of the garrison are police work and seeing to it that no subjects of the king escape the kingdom.
21. Ducal Grain Mill. The duchy's largest grain mill is owned by the duchess and run for her by Master Miller Květoslav, a human male artisan. From the viewpoint of the vampire duchess, the mill is strictly a business venture. Most of the grain gained by the duchy through tithing is milled here, producing flour, fodder and vegetable oil which is sold locally and transported to other parts of the duchy by caravans of the Royal Ministray of Trade. Květoslav employs two journeyman millers, human male and female artisans; two apprentices, human male and female commoners, and a laborer, a human male commoner. Květoslav and his family live in the mill building.

With the help of his waterwheel-powered hammer, Silvestr makes and repairs all of the non-iron weapons and armor in the garrison. He also does private work, but most of it is limited to heavy duty jobs that Blacksmith Drahoslav (Location No. 3) can't handle. Private customers prefer doing business with Drahoslav, when they can, because his prices are lower. Silvestr employs two journeyman smiths, human male and female artisans; three apprentices, human male and female commoners, and a laborer, human male commoner.
24. Grain Meadows Food Packing. Owner Olga, human female merchant, buys and packs any kind of food that can be processed for a reasonable shelf life.

Pi Nengneihoi, the one with her hand raised, is 31 years old and is a happy mother to her baby daughter. Her daily life is busy with a baby, rearing 3 piglets, household duties which include growing vegetables, but she finds time to weave early in the morning for about 2 hours and late at night about 2 hours. It is the village tribal tradition that women weave intricate and time-consuming garments for tribal ceremonies and if they wish, for selling at the market. She provides earnings for her family by weaving every day and bringing her weavings to the market.
She dreams of expanding her piglet farm to add four more to the three she already has. She enjoys raising piglets until they are full grown where she sells them at the market.
Pi Nengneihoi, with the KIVA loan of Rs. 10,000/- (INR) wanted to buy four more piglets @ Rs. 2000/- per piglet, and the remaining Rs.2000/- will be spent on buying thread for weaving traditional shawls.
She will repay the loan by selling the traditional shawls that she weaves and her husband will help her in rearing the piglets.

The pharmaceutical industry accounts for about $65 billion of annual expenditure in the US. Each day of product development costs approximately $1 million in expenses and at least $0.5 million in losses from not having yet commercialized that product. These costs are anticipated to nearly double between 2008 and 2012 because of the projected increase in the costs of human and material resources and of meeting regulatory expectations. As a result, improvements in process efficiency and delivery become of paramount importance for a viable business. Process development (PD), technological, and learning capabilities are even more critical for efficiency in commercializing complex biological products (1). In the current economic environment, additional pressure to increase efficiency arises from the need to advance multiple projects through the pipeline without increasing resources.
To manage the constraints and increase the efficiency of this two-cycle approach to product development of highly glycosylated proteins for rare diseases, the the following three steps were taken:1. Technology platforms were developed that were linked to manufacturing capabilities and built on the knowledge gained with each enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) development. Developing process and analytical technology platforms for the highly glycosylated lysosomal enzymes transformed the initial trial-and-error development model to a more cost-effective strategy by establishing a small-scale model in the PD department to represent manufacturing scale.
2. A systematic and integrated approach to PD, called the PD life cycle, was applied to define the appropriate questions and issues to be addressed at the appropriate time within the clinical-development program. Starting the PD life cycle by determining the technical feasibility of product and process targets, followed by refining the targets and development plans based on the knowledge gained at each phase, enables the efficient use of resources and minimizes rework while improving the ability to handle multiple programs in a consistent manner.
3. Business processes were developed and applied for integrated PD planning, decision making, and communicating with stakeholders.
Through the use of the above mechanisms, knowledge gained from the commercialization of one product has increased the efficiency of development of the next product, resulting in continuous improvement. This article describes this three–pronged approach to ERT product development. These concepts can also be applied when developing other types of pharmaceutical products.

Testimony :: The Honorable Ben Nighthorse Campbell
Chairman - The Helsinki Commission
This hearing has been convened by the Helsinki Commission to review U.S. policy toward the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe – the OSCE. The Commission remains keenly interested in the OSCE as a tool for promoting human rights and democratic development and advancing U.S. interests in the expansive OSCE region. The terrorist attacks of September 11 represent an assault on the principles of democracy, human rights and the rule of law -- core principles at the heart of the OSCE. It is crucial that we redouble our efforts to advance these fundamental principles throughout the OSCE region even as we pursue practical cooperation aimed at rooting out terrorism.
The OSCE provides an excellent framework for advancing these vital and complementary objectives.
First, the OSCE's comprehensive definition of security recognizes human rights and democracy as a bedrock for peace.
Second, the Helsinki process redefined diplomacy to include the frankest of exchanges on issues of concern, including the human dimension. As a result, the OSCE countries have come to acknowledge that "commitments undertaken in the field of the human dimension ... are matters of direct and legitimate concern to all participating States and do not belong exclusively to the internal affairs of the State concern."
Third, the OSCE redefined participation to include not only the states officially represented, which have gone from the original 35 to 55 today, but also the relevant and valuable role of private citizens and non-governmental advocacy groups.
These developments remain as relevant today as they were when the Helsinki Final Act was signed in 1975. I would also underscore the importance of the close working relationship that has been forged between the Commission and the Department of State over the past 25 years. As Chairman, I am committed to building upon this cooperative partnership and urge that hearings such as this one be convened on a periodic basis to update the Congress and the American people on the ongoing work of the OSCE and how it advances our national interests across the spectrum of the security, economic and human dimensions.
During my chairmanship, the Commission has paid increasing attention to the multidimensional threats posed by corruption and international crime. Earlier this year I proposed that the Bucharest OSCE Ministerial, scheduled for early December, explore ways to promote practical cooperation among the 55 OSCE countries in combating corruption and international crime, major sources of financing for terrorist groups. I urge the Department to review my proposal as it plans for the Ministerial.
Today's hearing will examine U.S. priorities and human rights concerns in the OSCE region. Hopefully, the discussion will address how to institutionalize the OSCE while avoiding the bureaucracy that plagues so many other international organizations, as well as how the organization can remain faithful to the original Helsinki principles while dealing with the challenges of this new century.

Parents told the program's board chairman that they are looking at coming up with $600 to $700 per semester if the Supreme Court allows the program to pay tuition at 2010 levels rather than current levels.
They also said they're worried that the program will close down if the court requires current tuition. The board is paying the current tuition while it awaits a ruling.
Liz Jones of Andalusia has a daughter who's a sophomore at the University of Alabama. She said she doesn't know where she will get extra money to keep her in college.

ISU Breaks Records in Sweep of North Dakota

More from Cyclones.tv
The wins improved Iowa State to 20-21 on the season, while North Dakota fel to 4-28.
ISU's 16-7 win over North Dakota featured Iowa State tying its school record for hits in a game with 19 and breaking its record for doubles in a game with nine.
Game Two: Iowa State 16, North Dakota 7 (five innings)
A two-out Lexi Slater single got Iowa State its first base runner of the game. After moving over to second on a wild pitch, Slater did not stay on the bases for long as Aly Cappaert fired a double down the left-field line to put ISU ahead 1-0 early.
North Dakota struck back to take the lead in the top of the second as Stacy Roggentien, making the start for ISU in the circle, surrendered a 2-RBI triple to Nicole Babrowski to put UND ahead 2-1. ISU got right back to work with six runs in the second inning, via a 2-run home run from Jorden Spendlove, Megan McGuire scoring on a throwing error by the catcher and RBI-doubles from Sara Davison, Slater and Rachel Hartman to put ISU ahead 7-2.
UND came back again in the third as they got home runs from Kim Granata and Elizabeth Cudney to tie the game at 7-7. Paris Imholz came in to settle ISU down and only allowed two hits the rest of the game.
ISU moved back ahead and away from North Dakota with a nine-run fourth. It started with a solo homer from Sara Davison and then back-to-back RBI-doubles from Cappaert and Hartman. Liana Henry put up a 2-run home run and then Spendlove followed that up with her second home run of the game to put the score 13-7 in favor of the Cyclones. Cappaert capped the inning off with a bases-loaded double that cleared the bases and put ISU ahead 16-7.
Iowa State's 19 hits ties the single-game school record with its 19 against Notre Dame in March 1991. The Cyclones' nine doubles are a school record, shattering the previous record of six which was recorded three times, most recently against Iona in February 2013. Cappaert posted three doubles, marking the third time in school history a player has had three doubles in a game, with Daivson the last player to do it against South Dakota State in February 2013. Spendlove's two-homer game marked the 18th multi-home run game in school history.
Game One: Iowa State 10, North Dakota 7
North Dakota got ahead 1-0 before ISU stepped to the plate, but the Cyclones were quickly to work. Davison brought home Gomez in the first to tie the game on an RBI-double. The next at-bat, Slater struck out, but a dropped third strike and a dropped throw from home to first allowed Davison to hustle around and put the Cyclones ahead. 2-1.
Iowa State got back to work in the bottom of the third as ISU got runners on second and third with two outs. Spendlove brought both of them home with a 2-RBI double. Megan McGuire, starting in her first career game as a Cyclone, then had an RBI-single up the middle for her first career hit and RBI as Spendlove came hom eto make it 5-1 Cyclones. Iowa State added two in fourth as Davison led off with a double, Slater brought her home on a double of her own and then Slater was brought home on an RBI-single from Cappaert to put Iowa State ahead 7-1.
North Dakota got back in the game in the fifth as bases-loaded hits from Granata and Taylor Hansen made it 7-3 ISU. The Cyclones added a run in the bottom of the inning on an RBI-single by Davison to put the score at 8-3. UND made a bigger push in the top of the sixth as D Jantzer had a 3-run home run to center to reduce the Iowa State lead to 8-6.
The Cyclones picked up some insurance runs in the bottom of the sixth as McGuire brought home her second run on a groundout and Henry doubled to left to put the Cyclones ahead 10-6. UND added a run in the seventh on a bases-loaded walk, but Imholz got the final three outs for her first win as a Cyclone.

Iowa State is back at the Cyclone Sports Complex tomorrow for a 4 p.m. game against Omaha.

Hi all,
my name is Stefan.
We've got Horde and wanted to migrate to Zimbra.
Some people make intense use of a funcionality that I'm missing within Zimbra so far. We've got some moderated email lists and want to redirect emails "unmodified" so that it looks like it came from the sender.
So my question now: is there any funcionality like this within Zimbra? Or maybe a workaround?
Looking for answer

1 mile = 1.609 km
1 km = 0.6214 miles
Acre - One acre comprises 4,840 square yards or 43,560 square feet (which can be easily remembered as 44,000 square feet, less 1%). Because of alternative definitions of a yard or a foot, the exact size of an acre also varies slightly. Originally, an acre was a selion of land one furlong long and one chain wide. However, an acre is a measure of area, and has no particular width, length or shape.
Chain - A chain is a unit of length; it measures 66 feet or or 22 yards (20.1168m). There are 10 chains in a furlong, and 80 chains in one statute mile. An acre is the area of 10 square chains (that is, an area of one chain by one furlong). The chain has been used for several centuries in England and in some other countries influenced by British practice.
Furlong - A furlong is a measure of distance in imperial units and U.S. customary units. It is equal to one-eighth of a mile or 660 feet or 201.168 metres.
Five furlongs are approximately 1 kilometre (1.00584 km to be exact). Since the original definition of the metre was one-quarter of one ten-millionth of the circumference of the Earth (along the great circle coincident with the meridian of Longitude passing through Paris), the circumference of the Earth is about 40,000 km or about 200,000 furlongs.
Wikipedia - Roman Origins
Hectare - A hectare (symbol ha, pronounced /ˈhɛktɛər/) is a unit of area equal to 10,000 square metres, or one square hectometre, and commonly used for measuring land area. A 100 m square is one ha. Its base unit, the are, was defined by older forms of the metric system, but is no longer part of the modern metric system. The Comité International des Poids et Mesures classifies the hectare as a unit that is accepted for use with SI.
Wikipedia - Metric & Imperial
League - A league is a unit of length or area long common in Europe and Latin America, although no longer an official unit in any nation. The league most frequently expresses the distance a person, or a horse, can walk in 1 hour of time (usually about 3.5 miles or 5.5 kilometres).

When you hear about Anorexia, you likely think about teenage girls. But a new group of sufferers is gaining some attention as well, older women
Some therapists say there's a much higher trend of mid-life anorexia right now being reported.
They say there are reasons women develop eating disorders in mid-life.
Some say transitions, big transitions, like moving, having somebody leave town, having your children leave, divorce, etc. If you are feeling out of control, what better thing to do in your life than go on a strict diet because you feel some control.
Counseling helps some and experts say eating disorders are actually easier to treat in mid-life than in adolescence.
Eating disorder specialists say older women are less likely to seek help than their teenage counterparts.
That's because they don't have an authority figure to force them into treatment.

Dear list,
I have installed zimbra and it is running fine. But I am stuck at a very important phase.
The exixting mail server has almont 50 user account and I have already imported the user
at the zimbra server with Zmprov command as found at the wiki. Next is to migrate all the mailboxes to the zimbra server. The existing mail server is using dovecot. I have root ssh
access to both the server. How can I then migrate all those 50 mailboxes to the new zimbra server ? Any clue is very much welcome. Already flipped through the wiki located at
Migrating from Dovecot with External LDAP - Zimbra :: Wiki
and it can't help me as it only works when I know the user password. As I have root ssh on both the server, any other alternative ?

Well, to delve into the history of the matter is quite a thing, but a big part of what you're mentioning has to do with the fact of bad storytelling... Quite honestly, computer games lack any great story writing, and hence they fall back on the common great fantasy stories and settings...
One that comes to my mind, that fits pretty easily into your observations is Lord of the Rings... Really the original fantasy story, and generally where the common perspective of elves and dwarves comes from. Lord of the Rings indeed was a land in which humans were the dominate species, it's part of the world and history, it was the dawning of the age of man, and the wane of the other races. Tolkien's stories were fairytales, and in essence were meant to be seen as the truth, like a myth or a legend... you are meant to see middle earth as a place that could have existed in reality, and I think the fact that all the other races were leaving was a way to make it more akin to our reality, just like there are legends of dragons, goblins, vampires etc... elves and dwarves are just as plausible.
As far as the racism etc, it's just a speculation that as we have a racism over someone skin colour, having multiple intelligent species (cause that's what they are) would cause even more prominent prejudice. Many stories see race as a big hurdle for people to overcome, and in many cases they may use the prejudice of elves as a proxy for our own racism, to explore the topic without making it about the topic.. many stories do that for many different topics that are hard to talk about head-on.
As far as starting wars and enslaving other races... again I'd say it falls back on good 'ol Tolkien, and his concept of the races... Tolkien saw each goodly race (Elves, Dwarves, and Humans... lets leave hobbits out of this one) as having it's own benefits... Elves and Dwarves are two opposite lifestyles, to compare it to the real world.. elves would be considered the religious, they trust in a higher power... and are creative and such... Dwarves are industrious, and rely on themselves and their own... humans are in the middle, and can be anywhere.. as a race, they are free to do as they wish, which... in Lord of the Rings... makes them powerful... It is also said that due to a humans mortality, they are more motivated to preform great things... there's lots of talk of it in the books, and i recommend reading em all, because they are great
long story short, i find videogames to be VERY lacking in story, characters, and everything else.... beyond the very basics of storytelling... creativity is unfortunately something that is very lacking in all but the oldest of games, most of todays games regurgitate a story, movie, or older game and only change a few things to give it a new spin.

My last post got me inspired to do some more research. Feeling like a history major again, I quickly opened up the online image library of the Amsterdam City Archive. Back in my college days, all was done by hand for lack of interwebs and/or no online access to anything. Now, of course, it's like being a kid in a candy store. And I wasn't disappointed.
The image library is vast, huge, enormous. Sophisticated search options instantly got me what I was looking for. Then more, more…sure enough, 2 days later, I'm still browsing.
My catch so far: about 250 bicycle related or non-related, but with bicycle as side-kick, photos. Ranging from 1895 to 2007.
Having gone through them all, (legally!) downloaded them all, tagged them all, named them all, a few assumed and promoted aspects of the history of bicycles in the Netherlands are totally confirmed now, no myths, no exaggerations.
Since its invention the Dutch have embraced the bicycle completely (whether general usage was up or down) and started using it for work (commute/cargo), leisure, family, events, celebrations, rich or poor, etc etc. It hasn't changed one bit. Pre- and post-war there were way more people on two wheels, it decreased significantly in the 50's and 60's (good thing people changed course in the 70's), but their attitude towards cycling remained the same, the same pragmatism, the same no-nonsense, the same feel for style (or just disregard for necessity to wear something else), the same joy for riding.
Alright, I've decided to gradually put them all up, working from back to front, starting at the turn of the 19th century, coining this series 'Amsterdamize Classics'. For this first post, however, I wanted to pick a decade that I have some familiarity with…thus bringing you the Cycle Chic Jive of the 70's.

Ned Yost media session: June 14
This afternoon, the Royals selected the contract of right-handed pitcher Roman Colon from Omaha and optioned first baseman Clint Robinson to the Storm Chasers. When Manager Ned Yost met with the media this afternoon, the transaction was the first topic. The first question asked involved why the Royals brought up another pitcher even though they have more National League games to play this weekend. Yost simply answered the question with the way the games have been going lately, their bullpen is quite over used; therefore, they desperately need another fresh arm out there in the pen. He said Greg Holland and Aaron Crow have been used on two consecutive days and Kelvin Herrera was used for two frames last night. This means they probably will not have Crow or Holland, or possibly Herrera either, available tonight so they needed another arm. He went on to say it is not only protection for the team during the game, but also the players. With the extra arm those who need rest will be able to do so and they will not have to worry about overuse or possible injury. They don't know how long Colon will be up here and it could be as little as a day, but it all depends on what happens over the course of the upcoming games including tonight.
Robinson's short stay with the big league club in Kansas City was the next talking point. Yost said it was tough since he was only up here for a small amount of time and only saw action in four pinch-hit at-bats. He said every situation he was put in came against seventh inning guys or closers so it was tough for him. He went on to say that it would not only be tough for a young guy like him, but any guy would have a difficult time pinch hitting in general and especially in those situations. Yost felt that Robinson did a very good job while he was here and it would be a different story if they didn't have the huge need in the bullpen.
The Royals' depth and impressive farm system was brought up next by the media. Yost said it is very rare to have such a talented group of players around the farm system offering flexibility to the big league club like the Royals have. He said general managers tend to strive to have that flexibility and that it was certainly Kansas City GM Dayton Moore's intent. He said Moore worked all winter to give them flexibility so that no matter what came up, they would be able to handle it and adjust off of it. He then said they knew going into the season they would probably lean heavy on that flexibility the first half of the year and then the starters the second half. So far that has held true for the Royals especially with injuries and shaky starts from pitchers and Yost believes they have done well to this point.
Yesterday's walk-off win was the last topic of discussion during Yost's media session this afternoon. He said it was a very exciting way to win and especially since they had not had a walk-off win all season. He said he believed all along the hitting would get better as the year progressed and you are starting to see signs of that now. He said that was a win that lifts everyone's spirits and it was huge. He believes it is something you can build off of and see more success because of it.

Man with knife robs Dunnellon pizza shop
Published: Saturday, November 17, 2012 at 11:19 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, November 17, 2012 at 11:19 p.m.
DUNNELLON — A man robbed a Dunnellon pizza restaurant, escaping with an undetermined amount of cash, according to officials.
Darlene Parker, spokeswoman for the Dunnellon Police Department, said late Saturday night that a man entered Little Caesar's Pizza, 11150 N. Williams St., armed with a knife and demanded money from the employees who were inside.
After receiving the cash, the robber, described as a white male with blue eyes wearing a dark blue sweat shirt with hoodie, dark blue shorts, work boots, blue bandanna and an unknown tattoo on his left arm that stretches down to his hand, exited the business and was seen leaving on a BMX-style bicycle.
The suspect, police were told, headed toward the Chatmire area, a nearby community, Parker said.
No customers were inside the eatery when the robbery occurred, officials said.
Anyone with any information about this incident can call the DPD at 465-8510, Crime Stoppers at 368-STOP, or visit www.ocalacrimestoppers.com.
