Breast cancer awareness: mission accomplished
(Page 2 of 3)
I felt edgy last month because it was a one-year anniversary for me. One year since I wrote in this space that being diagnosed with breast cancer feels like: "You're driving along, all comfy and confident of the journey. The rest of your life lies ahead. Then, quite suddenly, the car lurches; the tires fly off, the gas tank catches fire and you go freefalling over a cliff, your hair in flames."
I was never one for understatement, was I? Looking back at that description, I think it was right on the mark — for me. Other women I know are more sanguine about their diagnosis and treatment. For them, it feels like a blip on the screen that is their ongoing life. These women weren't raised by my mother. In my family, hysteria is always the reaction of choice to any challenge.
In truth, these days I feel different, mostly in good ways, but I don't want to be treated differently. It makes me uncomfortable when some well-meaning person leans into me and says, "And how are you?" It's a reminder of something I don't want to think about more than I already do.
I know I'm being impossible. So maybe that's one of the unstated side effects of radiation: You becomes impossible. The other side effect: So what?
And why, you ask, do I write about it if I'm trying not to think about it? Mostly because I have to. When I sit down to write my weekly column, there's a small lineup of possible subjects that call to me. All last month I was thinking about breast cancer issues, and I realized today that I wanted to write about it when the month was over.
What have I learned over the past year? I haven't come through a crucible and emerged a better person. I just emerged, and that's enough.
I still don't want to march in pink parades or wear T-shirts that say "The girls." But I do feel deeply connected to the women I sat with in all those waiting rooms over all those weeks. There is sweet relief in a burden shared.
The first week of October, I ran into a woman who said she has been cancer-free for 12 years. Her advice, as she jogged by, was to avoid the magazine stories and the TV specials and the breast cancer blogs, especially during "high season," meaning October. It was the best advice I didn't follow.

Cyclones Defeat Nebraska-Omaha, 123-63
OMAHA, Neb. – The Iowa State swimming and diving team (3-0-1, 0-0 Big 12) added another tally to the win column tonight as they topped the Mavericks of Nebraska-Omaha, 123-63. With tonight's victory, the Cyclones improve to 12-0 all-time against Nebraska Omaha and 3-0 this season against Summit League opponents.
"We won quite handily," head coach Duane Sorenson said. "It was a training meet, but it was also good competition."
As in their previous two duals against Summit League teams, the Cyclones changed the format of tonight contest to a sprint order event consisting of a 100-yard event in every stroke, 50-yard freestyle, and a 200-yard IM. Every swimmer from both teams had the opportunity to compete in each event.
In addition to racing against the swimmers of UNO, the Cyclone athletes created a contest among themselves. The swimmers' times in every event were added for a final individual time, with freshman Karyl Clarete taking first place.
"I have never really been that confident in my sprinting," Clarete said. "Tonight gave me an indication that I am gaining more speed which is what I need."
Senior Imelda Wistey and freshman Savanna Townsend finished in second and third in the competition, respectively. Clarete touched first in the 200 IM with a time of 2:09.39 and was a part of the winning 200 freestyle relay team that finished in 1:37.74. In a time of 1:04.95, Wistey claimed first in the 100 breaststroke, an event in which she holds the school record.
In the diving well, Iowa State claimed top finishes on both the 1-meter and 3-meter boards. Returning most valuable diver Elyse Brouillette took first place in the 3-meter event with a score of 293.25. Senior diver Jessica Henderson posted a score of 236.10 on the 1-meter board, taking the top spot in that event.
While the Cyclone divers were able to enjoy success tonight, head diving coach Jeff Warrick recognizes the need for continued improvement in order to compete at the Big 12 level.
"We are going to have to step up to the mistakes that we have made and fix those, and I am confident that we can," Warrick said. "We need to be better, and they are capable of doing that. That's what we are going to be addressing this week, just that consistency."
After remaining undefeated through their first four dual meets, the Cyclones are off to one of the best starts in school history. In one week, Iowa State will put their record on the line as they host TCU in their Big 12 home opener.
"TCU is going to be very tough," Warrick said. "I know they are going to come in ready and prepared, and we have to be ready and prepared."
The Cyclone will take on the Horned Frogs of TCU on Nov. 8 at 5:00 p.m. at the Beyer Hall pool in Ames, Iowa.

Kanye West will appear on the eighth season of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians," Khloe Kardashian says during an interview with MTV. The new season launches Sunday (June 2) on E!, though West's appearance on that episode has not been confirmed.
West will appear, though, in episodes with his pregnant girlfriend Kim Kardashian, Khloe's sister. "I wouldn't say [Kanye] is like a main person, fixture on the show, but he's definitely on because he's a part of Kim's life," Khloe says to MTV of Kanye's role on the program this season. "But, he's not on like we are."
West and Kim are expecting their first child in July. In the first episode of the new season, Kim learns the gender of her baby. Kim is slated to hold her baby shower Sunday in the Los Angeles area, according to rapfix.mtv.com.
West appeared in 2012 on the seventh season of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians." The rapper-producer caught flak for his appearance on the program. West is also working on his forthcoming album and performed his new track "New Slaves" on "Saturday Night Live" May 20.
(May 31)
UPDATE: It was revealed yesterday (June 2) on the season eight premier of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" that Kanye West and his girlfriend Kim Kardashian are having a girl. "I'm so excited we're having a girl," Kim said on the episode. "Who doesn't want a girl? They're the best and I know that's really what Kanye has always wanted. He wanted a little girl."
Kim was joined by her mother Kris Jenner and sisters Khloe and Kourtney during the doctor's appointment when the doctor revealed the sex of Kim's baby. They were all watching the ultrasound together. Kim is due in July.
Kim's sister Khloe told MTV News that Kanye and Kim made a mutual decision to announce the sex of their child on "Keeping Up With The Kardashians." "Kim and Kanye, they both mutually agree on obviously what they want to have on the show or not," Khloe said. "And so I think everyone is curious and wants to know. And we have opened up so much of our lives, so I think it's only natural. And I'm excited. I'm excited for everyone to find out so I can stop holding in information."

San Antonio, TX (Sports Network) - No lead is safe against the San Antonio
Spurs, but the Golden State Warriors learned how to hold on to one in Game 2
as they evened their Western Conference semifinal series.
The Warriors led by as many as 20 in the third quarter thanks to a dazzling
shooting performance by Klay Thompson and denied another Spurs comeback to
pull out a 100-91 victory at AT&T Center and steal homecourt advantage.
Thompson shot 8-of-9 from 3-point range, falling one shy of the NBA postseason
record, and totaled 34 points with 14 rebounds, while Stephen Curry chipped in
22 points in a rare supporting role.
Golden State had lost 30 straight games in San Antonio dating back to Feb.
1997, including Game 1's double-overtime instant classic that saw the Spurs
rally from 16 points down over the final four minutes of regulation.
San Antonio pulled within six down the stretch Wednesday, but missed six
straight shots to fall short. Tim Duncan scored a team-high 23 points, while
Tony Parker added 20 in the setback.
Game 3 is scheduled for Friday at Oracle Arena, and Golden State won both
meetings there in the regular season.

Rivals is reporting an 07 big man prospect visiting this weekend, does anybody know at this point who it might be.
Vette, Denc, Hamga.......
i was thinking maybe moore..
Iowa State: Anyone who's a true college basketball fan needs to see a game at Hilton Coliseum. Nice is in the DNA of Iowans and the fans here are particularly gracious -- even when the home team loses but gives a great effort, they are appreciative.
ESPN.com picked Hilton Coliseum as the "Hot Arena" in the Big 12...coaches in the league noted that, "regardless of talent, the Cyclones have a home court like no other."
were not pursuing haamga plus he is an 08 prospect, and more is as well. im guessing its someone we dont know of yet that doesnt list us
My guess is that it is Kem Nweke.

I haven't heard of this Kem Nweke, but he looks like the kind of guy we need. He should play football for us too.
It is Kem Nweke.
He doesn't have an offer from us yet, so who know whats gonna happen.
That's a big dude!!! Is he a JC guy or high school?
and when can he play?

High School
Says he is HS...looks like a MAJOR work in progress given the unimpressive list of interested schools.
Definitely has size, but must be missing something in his game at this point or he would be off the board to a major school already IMO.

holy s*** he weighs as much as our guards and small forward put together. Pick him up
A slimmer, trimmer Aaron Agnew perhaps?
it has to be Kem, because his profile is now listing a visit to ISU on 4/13/2007 - recruited by Prileau

NRG Jumbo Round BolsterThe Jumbo Round is the largest bolster offered. It is a multi-purpose product that can be used to position several different body parts. This bolster is especially good for larger clients, who may require additional support. Natursoft vinyl is superior abrasion resistance, oil and stain resistant There is a black carrying strap at one end for convenient travel.
Item came quickly and it is well made. Is perfect for my purpose and was reasonably priced.
I use this on clients when they are supine who have low back pain or knee problems. It is a great size and very firm. The color and softness of the material is also very nice. I do use it under the sheet, it would be nice if the handle was across the diameter for easier removal from under the client.
excellent quality, texture, and firmness. Although only good under the legs of clients over 6'.
No frills, nice and firm.
This bolster is perfect for supine lying clients. It takes the pressure off their low back perfectly. It never squishes down like most smaller bolsters so it gives continuous support. Highly recommended!

Chestnut Hill, MA (Sports Network) - Steve Addazio has been named the new
head football coach at Boston College.
The 53-year-old Addazio heads to the Heights after just two seasons as
Temple's head coach, during which he compiled a 13-11 record with one bowl
berth. He fills the slot vacated by Frank Spaziani, who was fired on Nov. 25.
"Steve Addazio brings three critical traits to Boston College football,"
director of athletics Brad Bates said on Tuesday. "First, he genuinely cares
about his students and will facilitate their formation and development in
meaningful ways that creates a family culture extending into the entire BC
community. Second, he has a passion that is contagious and an energy that will
motivate those fortunate to meet him. Finally, he is a proven winner with an
extensive history of success as an assistant and head coach that includes two
national championships. We are very excited to have Steve Addazio leading
Boston College football and look forward to an extraordinary future."
More to follow.

This is a style of Bordeaux I like. Not trying to emulate a New World wine; structured, not overripe, not overoaked. It needs a few more years, however. It is: Merlot 85%, Cabernet Sauvignon 10%, Cabernet Franc 5%.
Dark black ruby. Nose closed at first, but on the second night it was showing lovely, subtle dark cherry fruit, and a dark, gravelly earthiness, along with a lifting baked cake note. Densely-fruited, but in a dry extract -- not jammy -- way, it packs the palate with dark fruit and loads of gravelly minerals. Full-bodied, with lots of fine-grained tannins. Still feels a bit tight. It's very good, if a bit youthful now, but will certainly improve over the next 5 years. B+now, probably higher later on. I'm not sure what this cost or where to get it around the DC area, as a good friend brought this wine to our Super Bowl party as a gift. Nice gift! Imported by Monsieur Touton Selections, NY.
I haven't had this wine in 10 years or so. It used to be a ridiculous bargain. This one is still cheap, but it's thinner than I remember it being than the vintages I drank in the early 2000s. Eh.
Dark ruby violet color. Light intensity nose of raspberry and rock dust, with a teeny note of dried tarragon. Bone dry in the mouth, with slightly bitter raspberry/cherry fruit, and loads of rocky minerality. As it lingers it gets more bitter, and some medium-grained tannins show up. Not very concentrated, and the texture isn't great either. C. Was $7.99 from Winex.com. Imported by the Artisan Collection, NYC.
This is a terrific value. Vibrant, loaded with fruit, and balanced. Buy cases of this to have on-hand for cookouts this upcoming summer (if it ever gets here).
Very dark, blackish ruby. Fantastically lively nose with loads of bright, ripe raspberries and mixed red berries, along with rock dust. The attack is intensely fruity, with excellent concentration. Lots of pure dark and red fruits in the mouth, turning a bit minerally as the finish progresses. A fair amount of soft tannin gives some structure. It's not complex, but it's very flavorful and nicely-textured. B+. Was $7.99 from Winex.com. Imported by Winebow, Inc., NYC.
PS, note that Bonarda in Argentina isn't the same thing as Bonarda in Italy. It's actually the grape called Charbono in this country.
Organic! I like that. And it's a darn good Zin. Tangy tangy tangy. I wouldn't have been able to place it as a Napa Valley Zin if it had been served blind. But it's got lots of character, nice texture, and would be great with Italian or Portuguese meat dishes, or grilled beef.
Very crystalline dark ruby color. Exuberant nose was earthy and exhibited loads of tangy mixed red berries on the first night. The earthiness was much more subdued on the second night, but the tangy berries were even tangier, and mixed with some fresh-cut herbs. Round, vibrant, and dry in the mouth, with very nice concentration of fruit, full body, and pretty good acidity. It weighs in at 13.9% alc., which is very low for a Zin these days. Nice soft texture and good length. B+. Drink this over the next 1-2 years. Was $19.99 from Total Wine in Fairfax.
(I remember buying a case of 1979 Napa Wine Co. Zin as a close-out in 1983 or thereabouts for about $5 a bottle at Yankee Spirits in Sturbridge, MA, and passing it out to my family. That one was very nice as I recall. I have not had a wine from these guys since then!)
(Sorry: 2009 depicted.)
Liracs always seem to me to be the lazy sibling in the Cotes du Rhone family. Never exuberant, usually laid back. Sometimes verging on boring. This wine needs significant airing, but after it gets it, it's pretty nice in a typical Lirac-ian low-key sort of way.
Very dark, rich-looking black ruby. The nose sucked on day one. Nothing there but dark scents. Like sniffing Darth Vader's helmet. On day 2 (under a Vacu-vin enclosure), it exhibited low-toned, medium-intensity, rich, sweet dark crushed berry fruit, along with significant crushed stone minerality. Soft, rich, and low-toned flavors of dark crushed berries and forest floor earthiness. A little iodiney quality in the finish. It's got loads of medium-grained tannin, but I wouldn't age it too much longer because as the second night wore on I detected some oxidation. So give it some air and then kill the bottle. B. Was $14.99 from Total Wine in Fairfax. Imported by Saranty Imports, White Plains, NY (which I think is Total Wine's importing arm . . . because why not take the middle man's cut yourself?).
I have never had great luck with Vino Nobiles. They tend not to be great values, and I think many are basically clumsy relations of Chianti Classico. But this one, produced by a co-op in the region, was reasonably priced and has very nice fruit and balance.
Dark ruby color. Nice nose of macerated cherries, tobacco leaf, lemon zest, and gravel. Lots of dark cherry fruit in the mouth, with a hint of unsweetened cocoa powder and lots of stony minerals. Full-bodied, with loads of dusty tannins providing a nice framework for some additional aging. Bright acids keep it fresh. A touch of bitterness in the finish. Would be excellent with meat-sauced pasta. B+. Was $15.99 from WTSO.com. Imported by Superior Wines, Cranford, NJ.
I love Etna Rossos. They have a unique purity of fruit. This one was very nice, with the purity thing augmented by a smoky note.
Medium dark ruby color. Bright, vibrant ripe cherry fruit on the nose, along with loads of stony minerality and the aforementioned smoky note. Bright, pure cherry fruit pounces in the mouth, riding a wave of fine-grained tannins, and there is a lot of clean minerality on the palate as well. It's a little more full-bodied than some other Etnas I've had. Medium long finish. A little loose, this would really kill it if it had just a touch more concentration. But it's a cuspy B+/A-. Was $15.99 from zachys.com. Imported by Cottanera USA, Saucelito, CA.
I don't buy many Aussie Shirazes, and I've had way too many oaky, liquid jam-jars, but this one was billed as a leaner, more minerally exhibition of the grape, and it actually is. It's quite nice. Still identifiably Aussie, but stripped down.
Impenetrable black ruby, with a violet tinge. Loads of liquid, slightly saline dark minerals, cedar, and blackberry and cassisskins on the nose. Bone dry, dark blackberry extract and a clingy, iodiney streak in the mouth initially. Loads of soft tannin then announces itself, and the lean, concentrated flavor profile grows slightly riper and sweeter on the back end. Full-bodied, but not nearly overbearingly huge like some of its Aussie cousins. The finish is very long and linear. There is a lot going on in this wine. Really fine. A-. Was $14.99 from WTSO.com, making it a very good value. Would be outstanding with a juicy, grilled prime porterhouse. Imported by Precept Wine, Seattle, WA.
I haven't had a Lagrein since the 1980s, I think. This one is beautifully balanced, a little tight at first, but then opening up in to a food-friendly good value. And this is yet another wine that was much better on the second night, so be sure to let this one breathe if you open it anytime soon.
Saturated, very crystalline blackish ruby violet. The nose almost reminds me of a young, unoaked Medoc, with loads of tightly-wound cassis and blackberry fruit and gravelly minerals. A little tight fist of youthful fruit punches the mouth on entry, but it's wrapped on a smooth-textured, medium-bodied package. It is not weighty, but has good concentration of fruit and a linear timeline in the mouth. Bone dry. Just a wee bit of soft tannin, and really nice, slightly mouth-watering acids make it feel fresh. The finish is very pure-tasting. Very nice. B+/A-. Was about $18 from Total Wine in Fairfax. This would be amazing with a basic Yankee Pot Roast. Drink over the next 3 years.
This is a textbook Chianti Classico. And I got this for a song on sale (I bought a case for a price that netted out at $10.50/bottle, including shipping, from zachys.com on a close-out!). I am an unabashed fan of the wines from this estate.
Very black-tinged ruby. Lively nose of red berries, tangy rich cherries, and a whiff of dry, dusty gravel. Smacks the mouth with ripe, zingy red fruits, wine-soaked gravel, and stony minerals. Very nice acids and well-integrated soft tannin keep the mouthfeel interesting. Nice length. Just a pleasure to drink. It's textbook Chianti Classico, which means not only is it fun to drink but it also will go well with a wide variety of foods. B+/A-. Will keep for at least another 2-3 years. Imported by Massanois Imports, Washington DC.
A big, deep, fruity, rich wine. A bit more complexity and it would have been outstanding, but as is, it's really nice.
Saturated black ruby/violet. Intense nose of ripe mixed berries and plums, along with wafts of sweet, high-toned smoke. Intense and pure in the mouth. Hits right away with weighty, dense ripe dark berry fruit and dark, gravelly minerals. Lots of weight, but not overbearing, the flavors tenaciously cling to the mouth. Very full bodied and moderately tannic. This wine does not skimp on flavor. A-/B+. Was $14.99 at Total Wine in Fairfax, VA.
A straightforward, zesty, bone dry Cab Franc. Not a lot of depth, and just barely ripe enough, but it's got a lot of vivacity. It seemed thin and underripe on night one, but the second night it filled out a bit and was much more pleasurable.
Youthful medium ruby still with a hint of violet. The nose has classic Chinon scents of machine oil, dried fall leaves, and tart black cherry. You can smell the acidity that's about to hit you. Lots of barely ripe cherry fruit in the mouth, with a substantial streak of dried underbrush and minerals. Clean, medium-long finish with loads of acids, keeping it very fresh. I had it with fried chicken and it went very well. B, though if it had bit more depth I'd rank it higher. This was $12.99 at Total Wine in Fairfax, making it a pretty decent value.
This is a chewy, extremely young wine. Lots of potential, but not nearly ready to drink. It really only opened up on the third night I had it open.
Saturated, youthful-looking black ruby. The first night, the nose was somewhat reduced but showed lots of ripe, raw dark berry fruit. On night three, the nose was still youthful and one-dimensional, but showed beautifully ripe dark cherry, plummy fruit and sweet, warm sandstone scents. On entry, there's loads of ripe dark fruit, very good concentration, and a wheel barrow-full of chewy tannin. The finish is long. Each of the three nights a little more complexity came through, suggesting a wine that would benefit from several years of cellaring. I'm going to try to forget about my other three bottles for at least a couple of years and then re-visit it. Right now, a B. In 5-8 years, maybe an A. If you do open it over the next 2 years, decant it in a wide decanter and pour it through a Vinturi to try to aerate it as much as possible. Was $24.99 from WTSO.com. Imported by Votto Vines, Hamden, CT.
This is a very food-friendly everynight wine. It was actually like two different wines on night one and night two.
Very dark, nearly saturated ruby-violet. On night one, the nose was very typical of a wine bottled early without any oak aging -- tight, slightly reduced pungent berry extract. Night two (after being under a Vacu-Vin enclosure for 24 hours), it was much softer and loose-limbed, displaying richly fruity scents of blackberry, plummy juice, and a bit of rhubarb. A pungent, metallic minerally note was present too. Rich, concentrated enough, and bone dry in the mouth, with flavors of slightly dried raspberry skins and lots of stony minerality. Relatively full bodied, this wine had lots of soft tannin, and a very clean finish. There's no complexity, but it's got nice flavor and texture, and it avoids the high alcohol/low acid issue that is a risk with Grenache. B. I got mine for $9.99 from Zachys.com. Imported by IPO Wines, NYC.

text: So I am thinking about getting a new back country tent, as I usually just sleep in my bivy bag. I am wondering what everyone out there uses. I am thinking of getting the Eureka Solitaire 3 season tent. It seems to me that it would fit the bill, and coming in at only 2lbs 9oz, I think that this setup would work good. What tents do you use? I know Eastman's just reviewed a lot of back country tents in EBJ 65, but I didn't see any that would apply to my pocketbook right now as the least expensive one was $215.

While hurricane season doesn't officially start until Friday, it's a good idea to prepare now in case another storm hits Eastern Carolina. With already two named storms so far this year, many people are getting ready now.
Governor Beverly Perdue has declared this week as Hurricane Preparedness Week in the state. The governor says now is a good time to update your emergency plans and your hurricane kits.
Residents also are encouraged to review and update their homeowners' insurance policies now to make sure they include coverage for accidental damage and natural disasters and, if necessary, flood insurance.
Storm preps kits should contain enough non-perishable food and a gallon of water per person per day to last three to seven days. The kit should also include the following essentials:
· Copies of insurance papers and identification sealed in a watertight plastic bag
· First-aid kit
· Weather radio and batteries
· Supply of prescription medicines
· Bedding
· Changes of clothes
· Hygiene items such as toothbrush, toothpaste, soap and deodorant
· Cash or checkbook
· Pet supplies including food, water, leashes, bedding, muzzle and vaccination records
Last year, Hurricane Irene came ashore in Eastern Carolina as a category 1 storm, but caused flooding of between three and five feet in several coastal communities.

We purchased the network version almost 6 months ago. I put off the upgrade due to v5 coming out. I was very nervous about upgrading after seeing people talk about having to dump ldap/mysql and reimporting. I didn't have to do any of that, here is how I upgraded ours. Ours started having problems around 2pm yesterday, a hard drive in the raid was failing and some DNS issues(I think). We had a new asus 1u RS162-E4 w/ 4 gb corsair, dual quad core 5335's, 4 500gb seagate server satas. I plugged in a ext usb hd and did the following on old server.
fdisk -l to list the usb hard drive
fdisk /dev/sdc1
delete any old partitions, and created a new one (primary), w to write and save out.
mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdc1 (formats partition on usb hd ext3)
mkdir /migration
mount /dev/sdc1 /migration
su zimbra
zmcontrol stop
exit (back to root user)
rsync -avr /opt/zimbra /migration
3 hours for 81gb of data on 241 accounts
while it was doing that, We installed centos 4.6, took basic server install, disabled firewall/selinux. We set up the onboard raid using enhanced mirror which is raid 1,0 i think. Centos sees all 4 drives as one partition, took defaults on partitioning. rebooted, did yum update, etc. Unplugged usb hd and plugged it into new server.
fidsk -l to see where to mount
mkdir migration
mount /dev/sdb1 /migration
screen rsync -avr /migration/zimbra /opt (i screened it off to do other stuff)
fix ip, hosts, turn off sendmail
get ready to install zimbra
yum install compat-libstdc++-296
mv /opt/zimbra /opt/zimbra_ori
installed using -s option (no config)
rm -rf /opt/zimbra
mv /opt/zimbra_ori /opt/zimbra
install zcs-4.5.2_GA_699
made sure everything is back to normal and working
upgrade to zcs-4.5.11_GA_1751.RHEL4
./install.sh --platform-override (since we are using centos)
yum install libtool-libs
upgrade to zcs-5.0.4_GA_2101.RHEL4.20080321155827
./install.sh --platform-override
upgrade to zcs-NETWORK-5.0.4_GA_2101.RHEL4
./install.sh --platform-override (come on zimbra, centos aint that bad!! -lol)
use web admin to install lic file in proper place.
the next day out of 241 accounts, had 3-4 calls mostly about new features.
I used this as my main guide
Thanks Zimbra!
only 1 minor issue, for some reason zimbra will not auto start at bootup, have to su zimbra and zmcontrol start...any ideas?

To the Editor:
I am a parent of a child who will be affected if yellow buses are cut from the Valley Stream Central High School District budget. My daughter will be attending Sacred Heart Academy in the fall, and my main concern is her safety as well as that of the other children from Sacred Heart and the other private schools who will be affected.
Although the district will give the students MetroCards, they are not considering the impact it will have on the individual student.
The bus stops are not local. I would have to drive my daughter to a bus stop, hope the bus is on schedule and give her ample time to arrive at school on time. Her school day would be extended two to three hours, and this is not including if she needs to arrive earlier and stay after for a school activity. In inclement weather, when the buses run off schedule, this would cause her to be late.
I am aware this could become a debate between public-school families and Catholic-school families, and that should not be a result of this. The high school district could not eliminate any necessary academic programs. If the concern of the district is to maintain certain extracurricular activities and certain sports programs for the public-school students in lieu of a child's safety, that is an issue above and beyond a school budget. I would then question the integrity of the person or people who have made this proposal.
We all pay school taxes. Our children, public school or private/Catholic school educated, are our main concern when it comes to their academic, social and spiritual growth. The school district should not compromise that growth because of greed.
I invite all Valley Stream residents to the school board meeting taking place on March 12 to voice their concerns regarding this issue.
Anna M. Zumbach
Valley Stream
To the Editor:
My children go to Catholic school. I am very upset about the possibility of the district cutting yellow bus transportation to non-public-school students. I really wonder how much money a child's safety is worth.

For contemplation…
"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."
- - Giovanni Guareschi

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

For your consideration…
"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

Thanks for the feedback.
After I switched to my domain name statistics are also broken, I have tried rossmoorfitness.sharepoint.com/.../usage.aspx as well as www.rossmoorfitness.com/.../usage.aspx
This is Tim with Microsoft Office 365 SharePoint Support.
You can use SharePoint Designer to copy your web pages to your local computer. You website is also backed up daily, and the back ups are kept for 14 days if you do need a restoration.
You can append the URL of your website with /_layouts/usage.aspx (http://<domain>.sharepoint.com/_layouts/usage.aspx or http://www.<domain>.com/_layouts/usage.aspx) to see the out of the box web analytics reports.
I will continue to monitor this thread if you have any additional questions.
Tim Muth
Microsoft Office 365 SharePoint Support
Thanks for the web statistics. However, I did not see how SharePoint designer can be used to save the site data. Are you talking about copy & pasting data to files on you system? This could be a nightmere to manage.
When you SharePoint Designer, click on "All Files" on the left and then "Site Pages" in the middle. You will now see a list of all the pages on your site. You can click and highlight a page, then click on the "Export" button at the top. This will export the page to your local machine.
I click on "edit website" and it comes up with the web pages of the public facing website, I click on pages and get "new page" "edit" "delete" "properties" "view" "save as template" & :invite designers" I do not see export.
You have to download Sharepoint Designer which is a program separate from O365 useful for editing Sharepoint sites. You're looking at O365. You can save pages as templates there but they can only be used in 365. You should also be able to save a whole site as a solution in the event you ever need to restore it. Go to the public site's settings and click "save site as template".
I installed sharepoint 2010 and it looks like while I can save team data, when I select the public-facing website it takes me to the online sharepoint editor. I can find " my settings" but not the public site settings nor do I see anything under site actions.
I log in
Select Team Site
Select combo box and click on Site Settings
Under Site Actions I select Save Site as template
This all seems to do with the team site not the public facing web site which I have already created. SharePoint 2010 does not seem to deal with the public facing website either.
You missed a step:
teamsite>>siteactions>>site settings>>gototoplevelsitesettings. >>siteactions>>save site as a template.
My site is about public facing website is about 40 pages plus pictures &files. I got a Max File size 52428800 (X'03200000') bytes exceeded error message.
I can only open the team website in SharePoint. I am waiting for the 72 hours to elapse to the I can complete the domain name transfer. It has been verified but your name server still has the interium site IP address in the A record. I guess that you have me change the nameserver pointers and the send traffic back to the old site until the changes have fully propgated. Becasue OfficeLive was shutting down I set up a redirect page on another website. I am also using that site to stort the PDF files for my office 365 websites so that they can be opened directly in a new window on the browser. When you fix the bug I will move them to the 365 sites.
Once that domain process completes I will try to open the site in Sharpoint using my domain name which then should directly point to my public facing web site. I have another smaller 365 website and I will try it there.
I have found a way to backup my pages. I open the site with SharePoint go to All Files then open the /Pages directory. By right clicking on each webpage I can open each file in notepad and save it on my system. If I run unto real trouble, I can see the page contents in FrontPage by copying the data in HTML view and switching to normal view. I should be able to cut an past it back to the website. I will try that tommorrow. I will create some extra test pages to work with since the site is live.
Sharepoint chokes on the page and will not edit it.
You don't have to do them one at a time. You can select all the pages and click the export button.Also your site can be opened in SPD with the .sharepoint.com domain if your domain changes haven't completed.
" I guess that you have me change the nameserver pointers and the send
traffic back to the old site until the changes have fully propgated. "
I don't have you do anything - I'm just a fellow user not MSFT.
Thanks for the help. Export does work and gives me that same files as saving under notepad. However when I select either more than one file or the directory the export button greys out. Foutunatly this site is only 40 pares and my other site is much smaller. My other former OfficeLive sites are running on standard servers so I don't have the same problems.

Even if you are there for surgery and all goes smoothly, a superbug could get you, with very serious, life-altering consequences -- including possibly death. Here are eight superbugs that are causing trouble in hospitals today.

The Aerodactyl would have been traded back to RBY then had the Rock Slide TM used on it then transferred back to GSC.
Oh my... I have been using bulbapedia over the last few days to get info on baby pokemon for the community shiny hunt. I didn't see a warning about it. And then my laptop had some issues and it was saying windows wasn't genuine. I am unsure if it is related or not but i managed to solve the issue (it seems).
By the way i just wanted to ask, is the lightball in gen V or do you have to get a volt tackle pokemon from previous gens? Was just wondering for the community hunt. If i go for Pichu then i'd want volt tackle on it.
Shinies are good.
Thank God..the Bulbapedia warning has gone away
i still remember the time i evolved my lairon into aggron.i was so happy.i used him in the elite four and in the battle tower in diamond.i still use him.ounce you get one you fall in love.aggron can learn good moves like earthquake.he can learn bad ones like headbutt.aggron is great.really.he is awsome.
me:cat use scratch. friend:your cat is not a pokemon. ME: OH YEAH? CAT USE GROWL. CAT:MEOW (SHUT UP! JUST BECAUSE I CAN DO THAT DOES NOT MEAN I WILL DO THAT!) FRIEND:HA HA! ME:FEEL THE WRATH OF MY CHARZAIRD! FRIEND: DUDE THATS A TOY. ME:WAH! CAT AND FRIEND:HAH HAH! IDIOT. LATER: HEY CAT IS THAT A ARCANINE?! CAT:MEOW (I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT IS BUT I DONT LIKE CANINES.) FRIEND:RUN! ME: HAH HAH. TURD FACE...I TOLD HIM POKEMON WERE REAL. BY AGGRON GUY
I'd use my Aggron more if not for the fact that fighting moves are so ridiculously common nowdays (No thanks to the Low Kick and Superpower move tutor) that there's hardly anything it can go up against without a risk of taking serious damage or getting OHKO'd.
I used Aggron in my BW2, and, even though it's an amazing-looking Pokémon, it can get killed pretty easily. It has great defenses stats, but since it's slow, it's usually out-speeded by any other Pokémon, and, as Rarukai said one post before mine, Fighting attacks are pretty common. So I thinl that Aggron could have a bigger potential if it weren't for his typing.

Pokémon: Venomoth, Gloom, Drapion

Sturdy helps it land a blow though.
Yes that is a Female Dino Charge Red. It's a FanFic thing

Talking about metagame, how do you use your Maractus? I'm baffled on how to use something like that.

I've always followed the team set up of Fire, Water, Grass, Flying and two random pokemon. It just feels weird not having them.
And in every game I always have a Crobat in my team. Are there any Pokemon that anyone else uses in every game they're available in?
My First Journey (Yellow):
fire, water, electric, grass, water, and a sixth type (usually psychic, dragon, ground, fighting, or ice). I'm actually planning on using crobat for white 2; i only have 2 badges

Avid Pokemon Event Collector!!
Add me 4098-5518-0449!
They should make a mummy pokemon, possibly with a second type, prefferably ice, fighting or even grass. Chespin should evolve into a Grass-Ground or Grass-Steel pokemon, Fennekin has got to become a Fire-Dark and Froakie should become Water-Poison type
A Fire/Psychic however may give Infernape and Blaziken good competition if it has good special attack and speed.
Here's hoping Vulpix and Ninetales get buffed! whether stat-wise or moveset-wise
If u need prayer, lemme know, k
Just finished the Dark Monotype challenge! I feel good.. :P

We still don't know anything about their Hidden Ability. Who knows, Fennekin might receive Drought as its Hidden Ability
As for buffing old Pokemon, so far they've done it only once (if you count adding the Steel-Type to Magnemite line as a buff, that is), I honestly don't see them doing it again, other than maybe giving some new good moves that are not accesible by Fennekin.
My shinies. Just click the links~

My shinies are not for trade or cloning.
Shinies are not listed in order, for example the last shiny on the banner is not always the latest shiny I've obtained.
Banner 1 made by Light Venusaur, thanks ^_^
I obviously just wanted to say that my favorite pokemon is Sandslash, and he is in all my parties all the time xD
My new pokemon Community on Google +

You just got SANDSLASHED
I really hope Fennekin doesnt end up evolving into a Fire/Fighting type...Im tired of that XP
I for one really want to see a Grass/Fire type in this gen. Ive wanted to see one for so long lol.
Also I bet this has been said but I think more Pokemon need to be given moves/abilities for dealing with hazards...
Also Im kind of amazed by how much fanart popped up after only one day after the announcement

Dunno if anyone saw, but Gamestop put up preorders for the games. They're listed with an October 31st release date though (that's a Thursday)
A foreign site (I think it's dutch? I dunno, it came up in my searches haha) has them both listed as being released on October 18th (that's a Friday)
Now, granted that those are probably just placeholder dates, does that mean we can probably expect the game to launch middle of the month? Will ALL regions get it on the exact same day, or will they have like, Japan get it Friday, UK on Saturday, and US on Sunday?

As GamePolitics has reported, the U.S. Army has taken a fair amount of heat in recent times over its use of video games and game-related events for recruitment.
Over at ripten, Chad Lakkis notes with a disapproving eye the Army's presence at a Best Buy midnight launch event for the recently-released Resident Evil 5:
I couldn't help but notice the "GO ARMY" recruitment tent mixed into the Best Buy Resident Evil 5 launch party video… I don't mind the idea of recruiters but what I do mind is the methods by which they often recruit.
This isn't the first time the U.S. Army has been accused of blurring the lines between gaming and recruiting. Promoting an official U.S. Army videogame and lacing their official army game website to contain soldier bios designed to look like videogame stat cards is youth marketing at its finest. Look at all the stats you can wrack up kids – assuming you don't die first.

Insomnium -- Above the Weeping World
This is the first in a number of reviews of the most recent releases from the bands on the Live Consternation Tour. Through this week, I will try to review Insomnium's In the Halls of Awaiting, Swallow the Sun's Hope, Katatonia's The Great Cold Distance, and Scar Symmetry's two latest releases.
So, without any further delay, I present to you:
Insomnium -- Above the Weeping World
I first heard these Finns on Headbanger's Ball. Now, very rarely do I hear a band on TV and decide to check them out, but these guys really caught my attention. The shear volume and richness of theirs songs is enough to set the mood for any listener. Their musicianship is brilliant, their layering is magnificient (and they hold up well live.) Their singer has that traditional death/doom growl, that the audience can't help with confuse with November's Doom.
Another thing I noticed on this album is the band's ability to move from soft, romantic piano or acoustic guitar, straight into power chords and just overall rich death metal. But even their death metal sections arent mind-numbing, straight-forward, or boring. The guitarists couple together grinding riffs and power chords with melodic licks and sweeping. The drums are never too technical, they always fit in with the music...never playing distastefully fast as some death metal drummers sometimes do. The vocalist holds up very well, maintaining a uniform standard for his growling (no wacky screechs, screams, shouts of constipation.)
Yet another point of brilliance on this album is the unbelievable lyricism. But, I can delve into that later.
Above the Weeping World begins with a short track called The Gale (Though it is longer than many SOD or Hatebreed songs.) Soft piano and the sound of a calming storm introduce the listener to the magic of Insomnium. After about 45 seconds, there is a mighty explosion of power chords and the beating of tom-toms. The other two minutes is just a huge mesh of towering guitars and the lone lyrics: When it rains, it pours like hell. The song ends abruptly, and then the ultra-quick intro to Mortal Share begins.
The mighty melody instantly sets a pace for the song. The intro flows into the verse, in which the catchy melody is replaced with driving riffage, only to be quickly injected back into the verse break. The lyrics on this song are so thought-provoking and relevant to our world today:
On the burnished thrones they sit
Might in their blazing eyes
Vault of heaven at their feet
Undying flames inside
Drawn to Black begins with a simple back-and-forth from the guitaristsand then a brilliant mixture of power chords over high scale variations. Again, the lyrics on this song are really well-done, the chorus taken from Francis William Bourdillons poem The Night Has a Thousand Eyes. The singer injects a nice mixture of growled verse, whispered pre-chorus, and growled chorus.
The song fades out quickly, and then the slow medieval guitar licking of Change of Heart begins. The snare drum blasts accompany the chords for a rough change of pace. The guitar licks in the verse, but you can tolerate them better if you listen to the rhythm of the vocals. The lyrics for this song deal with the marriage of wind and fire, their interactions throughout the seasons, and their eventual departure from each other. The one thing I like about this song is that there is no rhyme scheme, and it is void of any verse-verse-prechorus-chorus-breakdown structure. The band can just kinda dick around with their parts. Unfortunately this makes the song less memorable, but who cares? They aren't trying to go platinum, are they? One piece of advice that I can offer the band is to end the songs more gradual. Some songs have a soft intro, but a real sketchy ending (just a short downstroke and cymbal crash.) To some extent, it lets the listener know there WILL be more to enjoy later, and it also sounds like they didn't really know how to end a piece.
The 7 minute At The Gates of Sleep follows with another acoustic intro, whispers, then a power-chord transition into the verse. Another thing I like about this band, is that they seem to put what could stand as a breakdown in between the intro and verse. It is such an effective teaser. The song isnt disappointing, the 4:45 mark giving the crowd a break from the riffage with a quiet lick and whispered growls. Insomnium seemed to have taken my advice on the endings, because there is a long, drawn-out growl and chord that fade the song to an end.
The Killjoy brings some happy guitars and nearly punk-esque drumming, but the overall sense of despair and rich depth remains. This is definitely the "party song" of the album. The end of the song sees some short blast beats and pretty fast double-bassing, only to end abruptly once more. Last Statement actually has a very eerie feel to it, and the way in which the vocals and guitar mix creates an almost Opeth-y sound. No part of this song is really harmful to the ears, but the myriad of stylings can seem a little difficult to cope with as they change pace and tone frequently. The tiny solo on this 7.5 minute song is pretty magical, and would fit very well in Final Fantasy or Legend of Zelda. For the second time, they end this song very slowly, but the uncharacteristic pop of snare and toms in some bastard fills breaks the silence. There is nothing truly awe-inspiring in Devoid of Caring, except maybe the chordal breakdown and keyboard outro.
Then comes In the Groves of Death. A 10 minute 7 second culmination of nearly ten years of Insomnium. The acoustic intro, is soon joined by a simple, yet fitting 4/4 rock beat, and for once on this whole album, the soft feeling is allowed to flow evenly into the verse, and not transition into power chords and riffage. This song, ultimately, is a cool-down song. I would have liked to see the singer hold back on the growling, since the music is generally quiet and relaxed, whispers or singing would have sufficed. At 4:23, the song could have ended, but an immediate return to the eerie intro keeps this epic alive. That section is truly heavenly, if they made a whole album of that doomy, acoustic guitar, I would buy a million copies. The vocalist does experiment with more whispers, and nails it. In a very creative move on the bands part, the song (and essentially the whole of ATWW) is closed with the same piano and storm that began The Gale.
Overall, this album is a journey. It is unlike any album I had heard before. This album introduced me to death/doom, and it forced me to listen to the music a little differently and dive into lyrics a little more than I would have previously done. If you like Swallow the Sun, Opeth, My Dying Bride, Daylight Dies, Katatonia, etc; then you might like this album.
8.9/10...It might have been a 9.5 had there been more variation in the vocals, and better endings to the songs.
Never heard this band before, seem kinda generic though, plus I'm not a big fan of the style in general. A couple good bands for me is all I need for my gothic death/doom fix Novembers Doom and Swallow The Sun (and old Katatonia too, not really the alternative shit they play now) get that done for me.

Stanley, you're too gullible. Did you REALLY think that peter chiarelli had a yahoo email address? c'mon man....
The following is an e-mail thread between me, and Stanley. I have redacted his last name, which he did use. Is this cruel? perhaps. Childish? definitely. Hilarious? you betcha.
my first e-mail to stanley. this is after he posted the wrong e-mail address, and then posted the right one.
Best regards.
Richard (next B's GM)
Mr Chiarelli if you need me for the negotiations all I would ask is you pay my flight ..I will pay my hotel and meals I do it because I am a real BRUINS FANS and I want another Stanley Cup in Boston
Chiarelli's response after finding out that he was going to forward the e-mails to other posters :
I have not yet published your email what I am saying and excuse the language but I really have to say it that way
Move you ass before its too late ! , !
Richard. I was all for this. I was all for bringing you in as a consultant. I was thinking we would get you in before the draft. Now you are trying to threaten me into making a trade? saying that you would publish emails if I didn't. I was considering hiring you as a consultant to me and my staff. You would not be calling the shots, you would be advising me. Is this how you would normally interview for a job? I'm sorry, I don't think we can use your services if you would threaten to publish emails.
Peter Chiarelli
Stanley's response:
Dear Mr Chiarelli ..I could this job 10 times better than you...I would even garantee Mr Jacobs that I could bring 3 Stanley Cups in the next 10 years to the city of Boston ...so keep sleeping and by the way watch tonight's game,,,and tell me we dont need someone...
Mr Jacobs will get a copt of these mails tonight like I said
I can't make this stuff up. He actually sent this to who he thought was Peter Chiarelli. Yes, I am awful, so I provided some light for the end of the tunnel:
Richard. Choose your next move wisely. It is VERY difficult to get into hockey operations. You normally need a pretty good degree, and playing and/or coaching experience at a high level. Then you need a whole bunch of luck. Do what you will with this e-mails, however be aware that opportunities like this do not come up frequently. We're you to do something ill advised with these e-mails, it would be very likely that it would destroy your chances of ever being involved in hockey at the professional level. The hockey operations world is a tight knit one. Confidentiality is of upmost importance. Those that can't be trusted will never be employed.
his response, which is really just incredible:
Now stop treating me like a child and lets get together after the NON trade. Deadline and we will discuss into details what has to be done in the next few months with this team
ohhhhh Stanley. Do us all a favor and go back to the entertaining poster you used to be. Go crazy about a player, sure, but don't start 2 threads a day about it.

Hello all!
I am new to Zimbra administration because the old IT guy left and now I am doing my best to fill his shoes.
The were big shoes! So any and all help is appreciated. :)
As the title says, I am trying to configure Zimbra to remove the original message from 'bounced' emails that are sent to invalid addresses in our domain.
We want to do this because we have become a backscattering target. We're fine with returning a notice that the target address was not found, but we DON'T want to return the original body - lest it be some nasty spam, which would turn us into nasty backscatterers! :)
Here's a sample of the Zimbra log (/var/log/zimbra.log) for what happens when I send an email from my gmail account to an invalid account in our domain:
Jun 14 12:57:54 mail postfix/smtpd[21436]: connect from mail-ea0-f169.google.com[22.214.171.124]

Jun 14 12:57:55 mail postfix/smtpd[21436]: disconnect from mail-ea0-f169.google.com[126.96.36.199]
Thank you SO much in advance. I'm very thankful for these forums because I'm utterly lost at the moment - fingers crossed!

For non-res, when putting in for sheep, do you have to buy a licence to enter the draw? and if you don't draw, do you get refunded licence fees?
For non-res, when putting in for sheep, do you have to buy a licence to enter the draw? and if you don't draw, do you get refunded licence fees?
-NRA Life Member
You do have to buy a license whether you are a resident or non-resident. You do not get a refund. Be sure you put in for a unit that will actually have a non-resident tag available. The regs. show which unit will have available non-resident tags. And you do not accumilate points for goats or sheep. Oregon does have a raffle every year. You do not have to buy a license to put in on the raffle. Good Luck on the draw!
So if i were to put in for just sheep, it's pretty much like a really expensive raffle ticket. Unless i just did the raffle. But I'm sure the odds are probably alot better in the drawing?

Sheep is a waste of money unless you are applying for other species. Best odds wil be 1/100
If I was you, I would put in for the draw and the raffle. It is not a hunt that you can ever really count on drawing. That being said somebody has to draw that tag. I like to dream big so I put in for a lot of those long shot (once in a life time) hunts. To answer your question the draw tag is a lot easier to draw. The raffle has no cap on how many raffle tickets you can buy. You could put the license money towards raffle tickets and up your odds. The raffle ticket lets you hunt any were in the state that has a hunt. Good Luck.
There are usually about 8000 raffle ticket sold for the sheep hunt. The raffle hunt would be a much better hunt since it covers all units open for sheep hunting and lasts almost 3 months. Most draw hunts last about 2 weeks or so. Like mentioned above, not very good odds for non-residents. There is only one non-res hunt for Rocky mt and it is usually about a 1/500 draw odds, all other no-res hunts are for Cali Bighorn. The raffle covers all units and both rocky and Cali sheep.
I just looked up 2012 raffles sales, sheep dropped down to 5381 last year! 2011 there were 8776 tickets sold.
Great odds! Can't believe I didn't play
You still have plenty of time nwwa, the draw for the raffle tag isn't till May 16th.

One guard was killed and 20 people were injured in the May 20 riot at the privately-run Adams County Correctional Facility in Natchez.
The prison holds illegal immigrants convicted of crimes in the U.S.
Pedro Gonzalez De Los Reyes is scheduled for trial Feb. 4 in U.S. District Court in Natchez.
His attorney has asked to delay the trial so he can have more time to examine the evidence in the case.
