WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- The radio world is mourning one of its own.
Sheila Stewart of Radio One has died. She was killed Thursday morning in a car accident in Atlanta.
Stewart reported the news during The Tom Joyner Morning show on DC's Magic 103.3. Her radio career spans 20 years. She was the News & Community Affairs director for several Radio One stations.
Prince George's County Executive Rushern L. Baker, III, released the following statement:
"I was deeply saddened to hear about the tragic and untimely passing of Sheila Stewart today. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family, friends, and colleagues. Sheila was a not only a great Prince Georgian, but she was also my friend.
Over her 20 year career in radio, Sheila was a popular on-air personality with the residents of Prince Georges County and, more importantly, an organizer of charitable giving, support, and engagement throughout our communities. She understood that good business meant being a good corporate citizen. She represented Radio One with the utmost professionalism, passion, and persistence in working with our Countys faith community, non-profits, and the County government itself.
During her many years as a Prince Georgian, Sheila was always a proud and strong advocate of the County and exemplified the talented professionals who live and work in this County."

St. Louis, MO (KSDK) - The national premature birth rate reached the lowest it's been in a decade. Still, the March of Dimes has given the United States a 'C' grade in its annual premature birth report card.
In 2011, the pre-term birth rate was 11.7-percent, down from a high of 12.8-percent in 2006.
Just four states earned an 'A' for their preemie prevention efforts: Oregon, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. The territory of Puerto Rico and three states received 'F' grades: Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
Missouri and Illinois both earned a 'C' grade.

Neat pics and country! What state?
just wanted to drop a line to everyone that helped me out on our 4th season elk hunt in unit 11.
original plan was to hike in and spike camp......unfortunately i broke my foot 3 weeks prior to the season (total let down). We went anyway and set up camp on a ridge in the southern portion of the unit. We wanted to stay away from other hunters and were able to do that. First morning we say several cows, no bulls. I saw more mule deer than i could count so that was a blast. Group of 8 came in on me from the side like ninjas and came within 45 yards, so that was awesome to sit an watch. That afternoon we located a bull on a ridge quite a ways away. We planned to traverse to his location the following morning after we watched him bed. Unfortunatley my hunting partner had to cut the trip 2.5 days short for personal reasons, so we never got to go after the bull.....(hard to climb to a bull on crutches, let alone solo.)
attached a couple pics takin from my iphone.
Thanks for all who helped stear us in the right directions. hopefully our mule deer hunt will turn out with meat in the freezer!!
thanks again

Rescuers pull driver from sinking SUV
Published: Tuesday, June 17, 2014 at 5:40 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 17, 2014 at 5:40 p.m.
Marcus Lady was working in a shop at the Uptown Village apartment complex along Northwest 39th Avenue on Tuesday afternoon when he heard three loud bangs.
As the apartment maintenance man ran toward apartment buildings on Northwest 23rd Drive where the noise was coming from, he saw two cars, yards apart with their sides smashed in. He saw the cause of the crash when he turned toward the nearby retention pond, he said.
In the middle of the pond, halfway sunk, was a dark burgundy SUV. Lady could see a man inside, he said, but he wasn't moving and the vehicle was sinking.
The man inside the car -- later identified as Gerald G. Bacoats, 64 -- had lost consciousness after apparently having some sort of medical episode, Gainesville Police Department officers said, which caused Bacoats to hit two vehicles and then crash into the pond around 2 p.m., GPD spokesman Officer Ben Tobias said.
Lady didn't waste time. He took his cell phone out of his jeans pocket, pulled off his dark brown work boots and dove in. A mailman on his route nearby also waded into the pond to help Lady.
"I didn't think about the snapping turtles, the snakes or the alligators," Lady said. "I just jumped in."
Lady and the mailman searched, but couldn't find a way inside the vehicle. The doors of the SUV were shut and Bacoats, who apparently lives in Uptown Village, didn't seem to realize his car was brimming with green pond water, Lady said.
Russell Gault heard the crashes too while he sitting in his apartment. He ran out to the retention pond and saw Lady and the mailman trying to get Bacoats out of the SUV.
At first, it looked like they had everything under control, Gault said. But the vehicle with Bacoats inside was sinking quickly and deeper into the pond, so Gault dove in as well.
Bacoats' eyes were wide open, but blank and unresponsive, Gault said. Finally, Lady, Gault and the mailman found a way in through the open driver's window, he said.
Other bystanders had joined them and together they pulled Bacoats out of his vehicle and onto the shore. Bacoats was alert and responding by the time they reached shore, even recognizing Lady.
Tobias said officials transported Bacoats to UF Health Shands Hospital with minor injuries.
GPD officers called Ultimate Towing, who chained the vehicle and pulled it out. Gallons of water burst out of the SUV, in which the driver's airbag had deployed.
After going home to change, Lady and Gault both came back to the scene. They told the story again to people passing by and each time, they asked, "So, where's the mailman?"
He just left, Lady said, smiling. After they pulled Bacoats to shore, the mailman told them he had a route to run and disappeared down the road.

IDOT Statement on High-Speed Rail Milestone
CHICAGO – September 26, 2012. Illinois Transportation
Secretary Ann L. Schneider issued the following
statement regarding Illinois railcar manufacturer
Nippon-Sharyo / Sumitomo, the intended awardee on a
$352 million, multi-state procurement for
construction of new passenger railcars. Caltrans, the
lead agency on the procurement, has issued a Notice
of Intent to Award the railcar contract to Rochelle,
Ill.-based Nippon-Sharyo for the construction of 130,
bi-level passenger railcars designed to better
accommodate passengers and high-speed rail.
"Today marks a historic beginning to increased rail
equipment manufacturing, assembly and production in
Illinois as we move forward on high-speed rail and
passenger service upgrades across the state,"
Governor Pat Quinn said. "It is good news for
Illinois that the intent to award has gone to
Illinois-based manufacturing company Nippon-Sharyo.
These state-of-the-art passenger railcars will help
Illinois and other states across the nation provide
faster, safer and more convenient train service to
millions of daily travelers, as well as support
hundreds of Illinois jobs."
"We congratulate Nippon-Sharyo for submitting a
competitive bid on this unprecedented, multi-state
procurement of 130 premium, bi-level passenger
railcars, which will be essential to addressing
ever-increasing transportation needs of the 21st
Century," Secretary Schneider said. "Without Governor
Quinn's leadership and millions invested through the
Illinois Jobs Now! capital program, expansion of the
railcar industry production in Illinois and the
support of hundreds of railcar assembling jobs would
not have been possible."
"We commend the successful collaboration of Caltran
and the Midwest Coalition in reaching this historic
milestone, and allowing high-speed rail and passenger
service upgrade plans to move full-steam ahead,"
Schneider added.
ROCHELLE (WIFR) -- A big economic boost for the Hub City. Rail-car manufacturer Nippon-Sharyo is expected to be awarded a $352 million contract with Caltrans. The Rochelle based company will build more than 130 passenger rail-cars designed for high-speed rail.

The gap does not surprise me because even though it seems that we are more tolerant than in the 1960s, the gains we made are offset because of the economy and immigration. When I was in high school, there almost no blacks in management positions. Also, Hispanics wer in low paying jobs. When I retired a few years ago, there were blacks and hispanics with really good jobs. Still we have not done enough. I hear horrible remarks from some friends and relatives regarding Hispanics and other minorities. One was going to boycott products from Mexico. We do have a black president and that is an accomplishment. We have to fix the gap.

Gymnasts Put On A Show At Intrasquad Scrimmage
AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State gymnastics team held their intrasquad scrimmage, which was won by the Cardinal squad, 8-5, on Tuesday in Hilton Coliseum. Fans got their first chance to watch the 2014 squad in action and a lucky few were selected as guest judges.
With the team putting on their first performance for a live audience, head coach Jay Ronayne said that he always expects a bit of an adventure. However, he was happy with his squad's response to their first routines back in front of fans.
"I'm very happy with how they did," Ronayne said. "You never know what the difference is going to be coming back out into public from being in practice. You don't know what's going to happen. I was pleased with what they did."
The format pitted gymnast against gymnast as the Cardinal and Gold teams sent out one performer at a time to face off against one another. The guest judges would then pick a winner after each routine.
"They made the adjustments," Ronayne said. "They could have gone the wrong direction. What makes a champion is being able to make adjustments when you need to. I'm very pleased to see a lot of that."
The Cyclones will officially kick-off their season on Jan. 5 at 2:00 p.m. CT as they take on Penn State in Hilton Coliseum.

General comments
It seems that the main point of the document is to allow for "compatible" headings to be changed to "AACR2 headings" as they are worked on, and that all "compatible" headings will be eliminated beginning? August 2007. I think that elimination of these headings is a positive move, and that allowing libraries to eliminate them sooner rather than later is also positive. D McGarry/SLA 4/9/2007
I support the changes put forward in this document. Glennan 4/10/07
I also fully support the changes put forward in this document, without comment. Smart 4/11/2007
I had longer comments but have misplaced the file. In brief though, I favor the proposed changes and the general direction they are taking. As an aside, probably not for the response, it seems that in some cases LC spends as much or more effort in controlling and documenting the ways that they try to simplify their work than just doing the work fully would require. Maybe it's the nature of the beast in an organization so large. Myers 4/10/07
I think that it's fine in general. This assumes that the changes coming in Part B of RDA are truly modest, and that there's not some principle that is better satisfied by the compatible forms than by the AACR2 forms. It's a bit ironic to have a policy shift biased toward "pure" AACR2 emerge in the code's waning days. Scharff, MusLA 4/10/07
I support these LCRI revisions in general; see more specific comments below. AACR2-compatible headings look "wrong" to users accustomed to AACR2 headings and confuse new catalogers trying to internalize AACR2 rules for heading construction. It will make for more heading maintenance work, but the volume of work that has been generated by the death date decision makes this look like a drop in the bucket by comparison. It would be interesting to know how many AACR2-compatible authority records are currently in existence. -Theroux, ACRL 4/10/07
22.1. General rule
It sounds like we would not be allowed to upgrade an AACR2-compatible heading unless we were changing the record for another reason (e.g., adding a reference or citation) or creating a new record in which the AACR2-compatible heading is needed in the 1xx. Personally, I would prefer being able to update any AACR2-compatible heading as a matter of course, even if neither of these two circumstances applied. -Theroux, ACRL, 4/10/07
Under "Existing headings being revised": Category #3 includes the phrase "or report needed bibliographic file maintenance". However, one-to-one changes of the 1xx fall under the category of "Non-reportable, routine BFM" don't they? Seems like the words "or report" could be deleted. -Theroux, ACRL, 4/10/07
22.1c. General rule
22.3a. Fullness
22.15b. Terms of address of married women
22.17. Dates
22.18a. Fuller forms
24.1. General rule
Same comments as under 22.1. -Theroux, ACRL, 4/10/07
26.1. General rule
This revision seems not as helpful as it could be. The current text of LCRI 26.1, Forms of References, #1d provides one of the 4 exceptional situations when a reference should NOT be constructed in the same form as if chosen as the heading (namely: the reference is generally constructed to "match" the AACR2-compatible element in the heading). According to the new proposals, if we want to add a reference to an AACR2-compatible heading, we would upgrade the record to AACR2 and reformulate the heading and references to their AACR2 forms (and thus it would no longer constitute a situation when the reference is NOT constructed in AACR2 form). It might be better if the section on "Compatible headings" were made a separate section of its own. All the more so since this section (LCRI 26.1, Forms of References, #1) is devoted solely to Personal Names and the proposed AACR2-compatible text covers both corporate names and personal names. If the "Compatible headings" section is left in #1d, then the reference to 24.1 needs to be deleted, since it refers to corporate names, and some text should probably be added to make it clear that if the record is not being upgraded, the references will "match" the AACR2- compatible element in the heading (with the exception of "pseud.") but if it is being upgraded, the references will be upgraded to AACR2. Also, some mention of whether to add a new reference with $w coding for the former AACR2-compatible heading might be in order. -Theroux, ACRL, 4/10/07

Nutrition for Planning and Preparing for Pregnancy
There is so much advice out there; how do I choose what to eat?
Why are folic acid (or folate) and iron so important?
What is considered "healthy eating" for women who are planning to become pregnant?
What is a serving size?
What foods should I be careful about eating?
As part of a healthy diet, what should I drink?
Is it ok to drink alcohol while I am planning to get pregnant?
There is so much advice out there; how do I choose what to eat?Choosing what to eat should be based on a balanced diet and the amount of calories you need to carry out your daily activities. Avoid fad diets and those that over-emphasize or downplay any of the six main dietary nutrients: water, protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, and minerals. Healthy eating will help you function at your best and achieve and maintain a healthy body weight.
Why are folic acid (or folate) and iron so important?As part of the revised FDA national dietary guidelines for healthy eating, there are two specific recommendations for pre-pregnant women that relate to iron and folate (folic acid):
Whether you are planning to get pregnant or not, you must be sure to get enough folic acid (sometimes called folate).
Folic acid is a B vitamin that helps a baby's neural tube -- the part of the embryo that becomes the brain and spinal cord -- develop properly. It is critical to start taking it before conception and to continue taking it through the third month of pregnancy, when the baby's neural tube is developing, to prevent birth defects in the spine and skull.
You can get folic acid by taking a multivitamin with 400 micrograms (mcg) of it daily. You will also find it in fortified breakfast cereals; citrus fruits and juices; dried peas and beans; and green, leafy vegetables such as spinach, collard and turnip greens, and broccoli.
Iron is important during pregnancy as it prevents anemia, a condition in which the body isn't able to produce enough healthy red blood cells. Developing infants need a high level of red blood cells in order to receive enough oxygen. And, anemia in the mother can be passed on to her baby.
You can get heme-iron by eating food such as red meats, fish, and poultry (basically, food from animal sources). Iron-rich plant foods include cooked beans, lentils, and enriched pasta. Many breakfast cereals are also iron-fortified.
Foods that help iron absorption consist of fruits (oranges, orange juice, cantaloupe, strawberries, grapefruit) and vegetables (broccoli, brussels sprouts, tomato, tomato juice, potatoes, and green and red peppers), and are effective when eaten with iron-rich foods like meat, fish, and poultry.
What is considered healthy eating for women who are planning to become pregnant?With two exceptions, healthy eating for pre-pregnant women is the same as healthy eating for most people of the same age, gender, and physical activity level. Those exceptions are iron and folate/folic acid.
New national dietary guidelines and a revised Food Pyramid were released April 2005 by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Reviewed and revised as necessary every five years, the guidelines' purpose is to provide advice for healthy Americans about food choices that promote health and prevent disease.
Current national dietary guidelines are:
What is a serving size?A serving size is usually described in terms of numbers of cups, teaspoons, tablespoons, ounces, or slices. A serving is not what you are served! Our tendency to severely misjudge serving size has been dubbed "portion distortion." Though the name is cute, the problem is not. In fact, it is cause for serious concern since it leads many of us to overeat.
Here are healthy one-portion servings for women:
What foods should I be careful about eating?Be careful about eating certain fish, including shark, swordfish, king mackerel and tilefish. Sometimes these fish have levels of methylmercury that can damage the nervous system of a fetus.
Although almost all fish and shellfish contain small amounts of mercury, you can enjoy some with lower mercury levels (shrimp, canned light tuna, salmon, pollock, and catfish) in moderation (no more than 12 ounces a week, according to the FDA and EPA). Because albacore (or white) tuna or tuna steaks are higher in mercury than canned light tuna, it's recommended that you eat no more than 6 ounces a week.
Do not eat raw or undercooked seafood, poultry and meat.
Thoroughly wash all fruits and vegetables.
As part of a healthy diet, what should I drink?You should drink about 8 cups of non-alcoholic, noncaffeinated liquids each day.
Plain water is best, but you can also get the liquid you need from soups and juices (though, be careful…you'll add calories with these options!).
Drinks that have caffeine, and that includes many sodas, have a diuretic effect – meaning they will cause increased urine output. This is true of alcohol as well.
Is it ok to drink alcohol while I am planning to get pregnant?It is best not to drink alcohol while you are planning to get pregnant. The first 8 weeks of your pregnancy are a particularly vulnerable time for your fetus as its vital organs are being developed. Because you may not know you are pregnant for a few weeks, or sometimes months, after conception, it is best to abstain from alcohol and avoid this serious risk. In addition, evidence shows alcohol may inhibit ovulation, perhaps making it more difficult to conceive.

Anti Tour 2012Written by Jeff Smith on August 6, 2012 Car Craft Takes It on the Road
Car Craft is all about having fun with cars. It's that simple. Over the years, we've invited our readers to pull their cars off the jackstands and apply the vulcanized steel belts to the highway. In the past, we've been to Hot August Nights in Reno, Nevada, braved the heat in Phoenix, Arizona, for some dragstrip fun, stayed local and hit the dragstrip in Barona, California, and even combined Anti Tour with our Engine Swap Drags. Like last year, we headed north for the Cruisin' Morro Bay show that hit sweet 16 this year. While huge car shows are fun for their sheer size, we also dig events like the Morro Bay show because it combines the classic elements of plenty of cars and a crowd to make it interesting, but it's small enough that you don't have to line up at 4 a.m. to find a good parking spot. The weather was perfect, the locals were incredibly hospitable, the cars were fantastic, and despite a minor fender bender with one of our Tour cars, we couldn't have asked for a better event. So thanks to organizer Ken Vesterfelt's team. It's important to remember that it takes a small army of volunteers to put on a show like this. Without their long hours manning barricades and directing traffic, shows like this never become this good. Because of their efforts, we had a great time.

The Anti Tour began with a tour of Wilwood's fantastic facility in Camarillo, California. High-tech tools include this digitizing equipment that creates templates for design work using solid modeling programming.Among the bitchin' cars that arrived at Wilwood's facility is former Car Craft staffer Jim McGowan's '70 GTO Judge. Jim has owned the numbers-matching 455 four-speed car for six years. Jim didn't come on the Tour, but calling him out here should shame him into driving it with us next year.A minor hiccup occurred when Brian Cosby's big-block '65 Chevelle abruptly died just after our second photo opportunity in the Los Padres National Forest. This necessitated a trip back to town for a new distributor, but Brian clearly had plenty of help. This looks like a typical Cal Trans worksite, with one guy working and 15 others standing around.This is Mario Fenu's second Tour with his Arizona-based '66 Mustang. The 'Stang features Global West suspension parts, a carbureted 392ci stroker 351W, and a Viper six-speed. It's run a best of 146 mph in the standing mile--and that's gettin' it.We passed a group of MG enthusiasts halfway through the canyon, and they caught up with us at the Burger Barn in New Cuyama. While original MGs are cool, this '61 MGA roadster caught our eye because it was stuffed with a B&M-blown, small-block Chevy.Even after waiting for Johnny 'Cuda (who now owns the Anti Tour record for running out of gas twice in as many years and in the same spot), we still arrived in time to participate in Friday night's cruise that kicks off the show.Robert "Aqua Bob" Austin was driving Brian Cosby's familiar Anti Tour '30 Model A coupe in the parade when the throttle stuck. With seconds to react, Bob smacked a beautiful Chevy pickup just ahead.......folding up the right front suspension on the Ford coupe. Note the smoke coming from the locked front tires in Douglas Glad's amazing action photo. Fortunately, no one was injured, and mangled metal can be repaired.Major points if you knew this was a '51 Nash Statesman Airflyte. Chopped 2 inches and heavily wacked, it's owned by Bob and Jackie Sorensen of Salem, Oregon. The show sign reads: "No, it's not a hovercraft." We saw it cruisin' the parade, so we know it's fully functional. Yes, it does require patience to remove the tires and wheels. It's motivated by a GM LS ZO6 motor, a 4L60E, and a 9-inch.
Mark Mensen cruised with us in his '68 Dart 270 powered by an enhanced 360 that is now 408 inches. He's got a 904 automatic behind the small-block with a Gear Vendors overdrive and a 4.10:1-geared Dana 60. So far, it's run a best of 12.10, and he says there's more left in it.Kevin's refrigerator-white Biscayne was so nice that it earned the Car Craft Magazine editor's choice award. Staff Editor John McGann handed the award to Kevin, since there's no room in Car Craft's editorial budget for a trophy girl.Cruisin' Morro Bay allowed us to assemble all the Anti Tour cars together at the top of the hill. With a whole day to swap stories, the first liar didn't stand a chance.Among our faves from the show was Bobby Jackson's immaculate '65 Impala from Ventura, California. The big Impala is one of the few '60s cars that make a 20-inch wheel and a 295/40ZR20 BFG tire look right.The story behind Brian O'Hoy's '67 more-door Chevelle wagon is classic old-car fare. Hidden rust adjacent to the driprail necessitated removing the entire rail a couple of inches at a time. He had to fabricate a replacement piece over the entire roof distance to tie into the pinch weld in the interior. It was an arduous task, but Brian's efforts testify for the results.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Richmond officials want to know why dozens of mature trees were mistakenly cleared from the Washington Redskins summer training camp site.
Mayor Dwight Jones tells media outlets that the city had committed to protecting older hardwoods at the west end of the property. He says city officials are reviewing the incident.
The camp is being built on state-owned property behind the Science Museum of Virginia. Grading and excavation began last week.
City Councilman Chris Hilbert says the loss of the trees is shocking. He says he's outraged and he wants a full report on how it happened.
Jones says the trees will be replaced.

Tomorrow's mobile computing environment might see a proliferation of public-use (kiosk) machines where users can simply and easily call up their desktop environments. This vision offers an alternative to portable computing that doesn't require users to carry bulky, fragile, and theft-prone laptops. We posit that kiosk machines are capable of hosting users' desktops as virtual machines and propose a virtual disk design. The virtual disk design allows for an efficient access to per-user state held "in the network." We use flash-based disks to capture virtual machine memory state and to act as a cache for the virtual disk. We also allow static portions of the virtual disk, e.g., binaries for Windows and Office, to be served from the kiosk disk. We will demo a prototype of this system that uses portable flash memory and the VPC2004 virtual machine environment.
This project is no longer actively under development.
You can find posters from a technical fair here, and a powerpoint presentation here.

As cited elsewhere it is a rather big hassle to setup commercial ssl certificates within Zimbra for Tomcat, Postfix etc... This is definitely an area that could use some improvement!
A rather large problem we encountered is that when generating the CSR to get our certificate, the keystore (jks keystore) does not output the .key or provide any facility for obtaining the .key.
So in the end we ended up with a .pem/.crt with no way of using it with Postfix/Apache, both of which need a .key + .pem/.crt pair.
The primary reason for this forum post is that the wiki doesn't allow file uploads other than images and I wanted to make sure there was a version of the java program necessary to do this somewhere within the wiki or forums, to reference to, in the event that the original site/location is moved or removed and it consequently becomes difficult to find.
The following instructions are from this page, which originally got them from here.
Here is a summary of the steps needed to export a private key from a jks keystore
Download ExportPrivateKey.zip from the attachments of this post or the original location.
This would export the key to PKCS #8 PEM format. Now run openssl to convert it to the format apache modssl expects the file inCode:java -jar ExportPrivateKey.zip {keystore_path} JKS {keystore_password} {alias} {target_file}
The java code for exporting the private key in PKCS #8 format (already compiled and packaged within the .zip file, ready to run)Code:openssl pkcs8 -inform PEM -nocrypt -in exported-pkcs8.key -out exported.key
How we used it:Code:import java.io.File; import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.FileWriter; import java.security.Key; import java.security.KeyPair; import java.security.KeyStore; import java.security.KeyStoreException; import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException; import java.security.PrivateKey; import java.security.PublicKey; import java.security.UnrecoverableKeyException; import java.security.cert.Certificate; import sun.misc.BASE64Encoder; public class ExportPrivateKey { private File keystoreFile; private String keyStoreType; private char[] password; private String alias; private File exportedFile; public static KeyPair getPrivateKey(KeyStore keystore, String alias, char[] password) { try { Key key=keystore.getKey(alias,password); if(key instanceof PrivateKey) { Certificate cert=keystore.getCertificate(alias); PublicKey publicKey=cert.getPublicKey(); return new KeyPair(publicKey,(PrivateKey)key); } } catch (UnrecoverableKeyException e) { } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) { } catch (KeyStoreException e) { } return null; } public void export() throws Exception{ KeyStore keystore=KeyStore.getInstance(keyStoreType); BASE64Encoder encoder=new BASE64Encoder(); keystore.load(new FileInputStream(keystoreFile),password); KeyPair keyPair=getPrivateKey(keystore,alias,password); PrivateKey privateKey=keyPair.getPrivate(); String encoded=encoder.encode(privateKey.getEncoded()); FileWriter fw=new FileWriter(exportedFile); fw.write(BEGIN PRIVATE KEY\n); fw.write(encoded); fw.write(\n); fw.write(END PRIVATE KEY); fw.close(); } public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception{ ExportPrivateKey export=new ExportPrivateKey(); export.keystoreFile=new File(args[0]); export.keyStoreType=args[1]; export.password=args[2].toCharArray(); export.alias=args[3]; export.exportedFile=new File(args[4]); export.export(); } }
Now to test and see if it worked.Code:# Export the tomcat key (from the tomcat csr request) in pkcs8 format java -jar ExportPrivateKey.zip /opt/zimbra/tomcat/conf/keystore JKS zimbra tomcat /opt/zimbra/ssl/ssl/server/tomcat-pkcs8.key # Convert the pkcs8 formatted key to a non binary one openssl pkcs8 -inform PEM -nocrypt -in /opt/zimbra/ssl/ssl/server/tomcat-pkcs8.key -out /opt/zimbra/ssl/ssl/server/tomcat.key # Copy the tomcat.key and tomcat.pem to overwrite the default self signed smtpd ones cp /opt/zimbra/ssl/ssl/server/tomcat.key /opt/zimbra/conf/smtpd.key cp /opt/zimbra/ssl/ssl/server/tomcat.pem /opt/zimbra/conf/smtpd.crt # Restart Zimbra (or just Postfix if you choose) su zimbra zmcontrol stop zmcontrol start
For Postfix:
For Apache (which needs slightly separate instructions for setting up the file pair, but the principles for extracting the key and such are the same):Code:nc postfix.host.com 25 (or telnet instead of nc if you don't have netcat but do have telnet) 220 postfix.host.com ESMTP Postfix ehlo world <-- type this line 250-intraz.rio.com 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10240000 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-STARTTLS 250 8BITMIME starttls <-- type this line # If you get this: 220 Ready to start TLS <-- SUCCESS !!! 454 TLS not available due to local problem <-- FAILURE :(
Open a browser, browse to the site, use your browser to verify the validity of the certificate.
Disclaimer: I did not write the java code used for exporting the private key and the instructions on this page are only slightly edited and updated instructions found on the linked websites. This edited version of the instructions is what worked for us, there are no guarantees that it will work for you. If you have any problems running the java program to extract the key, please seek help from the person who wrote it. For anything Zimbra related however feel free to follow up in this post and someone will surely try to help.
Post Scriptum: To the Zimbra devs reading this... Wouldn't it be nice if Zimbra included the functionality to do all of this from within the interface so that people who require commercial certificates (most likely a large majority of your NE users) don't have to follow half baked howtos/tutorials, like the one I have just done , which are the source of much frustration ?

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - By the means of Facebook, we have the incomparable ability to reach incredible amounts of people. As it continues to evolve, so do its guidelines and they're important to be aware of to avoid your business' page being shut down.
Imagine losing all of your brand's fan base, videos, photos, interactions, and everything else just by not adhering to the social network's guidelines. While you may not have seen a page get shutdown, it does happen, and experts say it actually happens quite often. Many times the business is warned beforehand, but Facebook reserves the right to shut it down without notice if the page is not complying with their guidelines.
Facebook pages often get
shut down for these reasons:
1. Breaking contest guidelines.
2. Ignoring copyright restrictions for images.
3. Displaying a cover photo that
doesn't meet Facebook's rules.
4. Being offensive.
In this series, titled "Social Scoop for Business," THV 11's social media coordinator Jessica Johnson will break down each of these, beginning with contest guidelines.
Facebook's contest guidelines go a little something like this:
- Contests asking for votes or submissions by the means of comments, liking, sharing, posting photos, or checking-in are prohibited.
- Contests are not allowed to be posted on the business page's wall, but within the apps. In order to do this, the business must go through a third-party promotional app developer like WooBox, Aptivada, or Offerpop.
- The promotion must explain that it is not sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Facebook.
- Finally, businesses can't notify contest winners by means of a Facebook wall post or message.
It's a pretty common sight on Facebook. "Like (or share) this photo for a chance to be entered into a drawing for a brand new iPhone 5!" or "Tell us your favorite season for a chance to win a trip to Eureka Springs!"
More often than not, these illegal contests are started by small businesses that maybe don't have an employee whose job is dedicated to social media platforms and their various guidelines. Contests described in the paragraph above are a pretty surefire way to achieve virality, but the more it's liked or shared, the more chances it has to being noticed by Facebook.
My theory behind this is that as more of these contests successfully skirt under the rules, more will follow. The chances of losing everything, however, for a few new likes should trump a business' decision to disregard Facebook's rules.

Common warts are small, grainy skin growths that occur most often on your fingers or hands. Rough to the touch, common warts also often feature a pattern of tiny black dots — sometimes called seeds — which are small, clotted blood vessels.
Common warts are caused by a virus and are transmitted by touch. Children and young adults are more likely to develop common warts, as are people who have weakened immune systems. Common warts usually disappear on their own, but many people choose to remove them because they find them bothersome or embarrassing.

Average Customer Review: based on 3 reviews.Rating: Sealife Sea Dragon 1200 L.E.D. Photo / Video Light Review - Scuba Gear Customer Reviews
im interested in getting the sealife and sea dragon for snorkelinghowever, im a bit confused with all the sea dragon light options and what it can and can not do for me with regards to shooting pictures and video. what would be your recommendation for the sea dragon light for snorkeling only?
Does the Sea Dragon led have the capability of having 2 arms and lights? In other words do they connect together with the Go pro in the middle? And, what is the advantage of 2 lights vs. 1. What is the difference or advantage between 1200 lumen under water and the 2000 lumens
With the addition of the SL990 Flex Connect Dual Tray, you can set it up for 2 lights. The advantage of 2 lights over one, beyond the obvious of simply more light output, is in the versatility of front/back lighting, the elimination of shadowing that can be caused by one directional light, or the ability to have one video light and one strobe so that you can easily switch between video and still photography underwater. Tbe advantage of the 2000 lumen light over the 1200 is simply the amount of light put out by the video light.
Sea Dragon 1200
Photo/Video/Dive Light
Item SL983
Featuring 1200 lumens and a 75 minute burn time at full power, the Sea Dragon 1200
Photo/Video/Dive Light comes in a micro sized package. With its included grip,
Micro-Tray and adapter for GoPro® cameras, it's the perfect setup for providing light and
stability to ultra-compact and full-sized cameras. Includes compact case.
Flex Connect
Made of fi ber-reinforced polycarbonate and marine grade stainless steel for
maximum holding strength and durability, Flex-Connect mounts easily "click" into
place, underwater or on land, and can be disassembled with the push of a button.
Flex-Connect allows you to transform your camera set from compact to full-featured in
just seconds, providing a quick way to adjust to any dive environment: add Flex-Arms
to extend your lights with 100-degrees of bending motion, use the Cold Shoe Mount
or Micro-Tray for an incredibly compact setup, or connect multiple lights to your
camera with the Dual Tray

The 58th annual Sacramento Autorama - Heart of Custom CountryWritten by on June 9, 2008 Expanded for Web
We were still buzzed from the Grand National Roadster Show a couple weekends earlier. The sensory bombardment of seven-or was it eight?-buildings stuffed with the country's best rods and customs doesn't shake off quickly. Now we were at the Cal Expo fairgrounds in Sacramento geared up to repeat the experience. Except now there were 10 or 11-or was it 12?-buildings jam-packed with more extraordinary rides of every description.
The Sacramento Autorama is the nation's second oldest indoor hot rod show, a year younger than the GNRS. Northern California is custom country and the H.A. Bagdasarian World's Most Beautiful Custom award-named for the man who started this show back in 1950-is the big prize here. This year, 14 entries competed for the WMBC title. When the judging was done, the honor (along with a huge trophy) was given to Mercules, Bruno Gianoncelli's '50 Mercury high-tech hardtop.
We spent a lot of time in Building D, temporarily dubbed the Suede Pavilion. Alex "Axle" Idzardi, of the Shifters car club, helped organize this show within a show, dedicated to nostalgic, traditionally built hot rods and customs. It wasn't all suede in the Suede Pavilion; in fact, painted cars were in the majority, and several could've held their own in the "regular" Autorama. Of course, that would've meant missing the live rockabilly, honky-tonk, and surf bands that played throughout the weekend, not to mention the crowd of pinstripers who kept their brushes busy at the panel jam organized by T.J. Pagano. On Sunday, all of the pinstriped panels and other custom-painted objects of art were auctioned off, raising several thousand dollars for the UC Davis Children's Hospital. Makes you proud.
The photos give you some idea of the variety and quality of customs and rods at this year's Sacramento Autorama. More cars are featured in the expanded coverage at www.rodandcustommagazine.com, and even more are currently under construction for 2009's show. We plan on being there to see them in person. How 'bout you?
The Townsmen
Several smaller buildings were devoted to club participation. That's where we met the Townsmen, a local club with an impressive collection of rides. More impressive is the fact that these guys and gals aren't into the whole velvet-rope, gold-trophy car show scene. You're far more likely to see these cars on some Northern California highway on a weekend road trip. They made an exception this weekend to help raise money for the Wind Youth Services, a local organization that helps homeless kids.

There's no bad angle on the '63 Thunderbird built at Oz Kustoms by Oz Welch and his son, Kyle "Coyote" Welch. A 6-inch chop, extended side spears, and airbags add to the low and long look. The drivetrain is original T-bird, and paint is House of Kolor Candy Persimmon with variegated leaf trim. Oz Kustoms had 15 or 16 customs on display in Sacramento.Oz Welch (right), was named the 2008 Builder of the Year, and also received the Joe "Candy Apple Red" Bailon Award, presented by Bailon himself.After years of driving it, Charlie Runnels let Gary Howard turn his '51 Merc into a ground-scraping 'sled. The original Flathead runs six 97s, and the original seats wear Vernon McKean's hand-created upholstery. The long list of custom mods includes mostly Merc or Lincoln parts. John D'Agostino gave the car the Kustom d'Elegance Award.It didn't win the WMBC prize, but Matt and Colleen Beckdolt's '54 Chevy, built by Roseville Rod & Custom, earned awards for Undercarriage, Paint, Engine, and Detail. Small details like the curved B-pillars, and big ones like the injected Bill Mitchell 572, the two-tone paintjob, and Art Morrison chassis are secrets of its success.The World's Most Beautiful Custom award for 2008 went to Mercules, this two-tone four-seater '50 Merc, owned by Bruno Gianoncelli from Perth, Australia. The Mercury has generated a great reaction with its blown 6.8L V-10 engine, 18- and 20-inch Bonspeed rims, chop, paint, and Mercedes headlights.The legendary Dick Dean Kustoms combined a '40 Merc coupe with a Corvette chassis to create Mervet, for Bob Ehnisz. The body has been chopped, channeled, sectioned, stretched, widened, and radically reworked in front. Another WMBC entry, it won the Gene Winfield Coolest Custom Award.A wicked chop, '57 Studebaker fins, HOK Pagan Gold, and lots of pinstriping set off this '57 Coupe de Ville, entered in the WMBC class. Brian Nieri is the designer, builder, and owner of the Cadillac, and did it wild without going cartoonish. Willie Taitano of Willie's Place gets credit for the great paint, and T.J. Pagano pulled the 'stripes.Bob and Doreen Barton added some Thunderbird style to this WBMC-contender '51 Ford, notably with the '60 T-bird chopped and extended top, '68 buckets, and look-alike wraparound rear seat. It also features '54 Merc headlights, original '49 Cadillac hubcaps, and '53 Ford dash and gauges, plus a 302 under the hood.
Bet you didn't recognize the '96 Chrysler top on Rick Robbins' WMBC class '53 Bel Air, did you? Other exterior mods are '56 Olds headlights, '55 Chrysler taillights, plenty of massaged sheetmetal, and who knows how many shades of violet. Bob Honstein did the fabricating on this Chevy.The bright white on the lengthened Deuce 'rails, '57 392 Hemi with six 97s, period pearl-white upholstery, and extensive pinstriping sure got our attention. Tracy Ledford built the '31 five-window from an old drag car body, modifying just about every part of the coupe.Duane and Pam Balogh made just enough mods-shaved sheetmetal, custom grille, lowered stance, Billet Specialties rims, leather interior, dressed-up small-block-to turn their '57 Chevy pickup into a nice contemporary custom without obliterating any of the truck's original personality.We're glad Suede Pavilion organizer Alex "Axle" Idzardi saved a spot for his own suede '36 Ford three-window coupe. The car had been parked since 1962 when Axle found it. He restored it-including "real Tijuana tuck 'n' roll"-to how it could have been built back then.There's a lot to look at on Roger Scott's channeled '26 T sedan, one of our favorite traditional hot rods from the Suede Pavilion. The engine choice is a 250 inline-six with three carbs on an Offy manifold.Randy's Rods built this '49 Ford convertible for Dee and Carolyn Barnes, dropping the chopped, wedge-cut, and sectioned body over an Art Morrison chassis. Sid Chavers did the upholstery, and the judge's awarded it Outstanding Interior in the WMBC class.Here's a Deuce like you've never seen. The all-steel coupe, built for Mike Espinor by Tim's Hot Rods, drew double-takes all weekend due to some unusual proportions. The doors and quarter-windows were stretched, and the deck abbreviated, to create a whole new profile, executed by Bill Keylon.In addition to some knockout traditional hot rods and customs, the Suede Palace offered live music throughout the weekend, including Lee Rocker, on suede doghouse bass, and his roots rock band.
Paint-gun legend Art Himsl shot the '69 Camaro Blue on Richard Sides' owner-built Deuce Tudor, which took First Place in the Early Altered Street Sedan Pre-1935 class. The original-steel sedan is loaded with a 331 Hemi, while front and rear custom buckets fill the cockpit.Ed Umland is hoping for 9s on the 'strip and 200 mph at Bonneville with his homebuilt '31 coupe. With a fully caged frame with drilled and sleeved 'rails, and an 8-71 blown 468ci big-block with Brodix heads, he has a good shot at doing it. The seats and dash are hand-tooled and hand-stitched leather (like you see on motorcycles); a matching top is in-progress.This '31 Plymouth was first hot-rodded in 1964. Dave Fluke bought it in pieces three years ago, and Josh "Lefty" Mullican built it, using a blown '56 Chrysler 354. The old owner built the chassis with a Mark William Funny Car torsion-bar suspension, while an in-between owner added Halibrand mags from a Mallicoat Brothers gasser.C-notched 'rails and Air Ride 'bags drop Ken Harris' '36 deep down into the shag rug. Six Holley 94s feed the 327. The list of cool stuff includes a 31/2-inch chop, Mustang buckets done in white-pearl vinyl, a '59 Pontiac Bonneville wheel, and Radir wheels.Dan Dermott put his '48 Ford pickup through a radical makeover that included a scratch-built pancaked hood, shortened and narrowed late-'90s Ford bed, assertive chop, and raised fenders for a sectioned look. The blacked-out custom grille teeth and rims go great with the gray 'flake paint.Here's another great Oz Welch creation-Roger Stevens' triple-tone, chopped '57 Buick wagon. With cut-down and lengthened quarters, Motorspot wires with genuine knockoff spinners, and the stock Nailhead with three deuces, the wagon provided some tough competition for the WMBC prize.
There's a lot to look at on Roger Scott's channeled '26 T sedan, one of our favorites traditional hot rods from the Suede Pavilion. The engine choice is a 250 inline-six with three 1V carbs on an Offy manifold and the custom '56 Merc dash was a cool surprise.The outdoor portion of the show was for driven-in vehicles like Anthony Orta's '51 Chevy pickup, a $300 gift from his dad when he was 15. Anthony redid the whole truck, building up the small-block, re-covering the stock seats, and dropping it just enough. The paint is a Lamborghini Diablo color.The monochrome candy tangerine finish on this '41 Ford Business Coupe clinched an Outstanding Paint prize for the chopped and reshaped, fat-fendered smoothie. The car is owned by Dick Graese and was built by Bobby Anderson.Oh my goodness-is this traditional?! Not exactly, but the traditional crowd is loosening up enough to appreciate a traditionally-inspired rod like Laura "Rusty" Parkers LT1-running '36 Dodge pickup. Rusty's hauler has modified with a two-inch chop and some cool interior work.You've already seen a full feature on Gary and Nancy Pettigrew 's '35. Hupmobile sedan in R&C. Here's another look at the owner-designed and built odd rod, which won a Radical Rod Sedan award in Sacramento. The engine is an LS1 disguised as a '54 Dodge Red Ram.Richard Zocchi boldly covered his '61 Olds in pink paint, shot by Art Himsl over John Aiello's incredible bodywork. The WMBC contender features a '60 Merc grille, '60 Buick headlights, handmade skirts, and a '61 Starliner top.
John D'Agostino's interpretation of a '61 Olds is nicknamed Aladdin, and was also in the running for WMBC. The bodywork was handled by Bill Hines' Kustom Shop, with paint applied by Oz Kustoms. It's a knockout.Fred Stoke was in Sacramento with this impeccably-details '32 highboy, built by the owner using a Brookville steel body riding on a Pete 'n' Jakes suspension, and loaded with a 383-cubic-inch Chevy small-block. Best of all, Fred's said (right on his sign) that the Deuce is his daily driver when the weather is nice.Here's another nice Deuce highboy roadster. This one's the property of John Ranacis. It runs a 350/350 drivetrain combinationa with a Currie 9-inch rearend, and features a Ron Mangus interior.Steve Ball's '40 Pontiac convertible combines a resto rod exterior (with wide whites and all the chrome and trim) with a late-model interior (with leather highback buckets and a LeCarra wheel) to create a hybrid hot rod.Dwayne Zajic showed up at the Autorama with this beautiful black full-fendered '30 Chrysler coupe. It looks mostly stock, with a slight injection of hot rod attitude.Have another look at Robbie Azevedo's '29 roadster, built at Pacific Coast Customs, and fresh from it's appearance at the Grand National Roadster Show. Here his wild woodie competed in the Altered Street Touring, Pre 1935 category.Frank and Maggie Austin displayed their '36 Ford with other members of the Townsmen club from Sacramento. The frame-off build-up included a contemporary leather interior and HO 305 motor. The Tucson Tan tudor took the trophy in the Conservative Rod Sedan class.
There's no missing Jim and Barbara Major's bright red '36 Dodge Humpback panel truck, one of fewer than 150 built-and probably the only one rolling on Drag Lite wheels. It's powered by a Dodge 340 fed by a pair of Carter 500s on an Offy tunnel ram manifold. It's got a Mustang II frontend and a Ford 9-inch rear.Bruce and Barbara Stevens went wild with the dimensions of their '32 three-window. The Heritage body was chopped, stretched, pinched, and bobbed. A 450-hor Chevy 350 is hooked to a 700R4 automatic. A four-link suspension set-up was added front and rear.

The fourth edition report of Equality Now's ongoing global advocacy campaign to hold governments accountable to the pledge made at the historic UN 4th World Conference on Women (Beijing, 1995) to end sex discrimination in the law. At the conference 189 governments agreed on a comprehensive roadmap – the Beijing Platform for Action – to advance women's rights and achieve gender equality. In this Beijing+20 edition of our report, and in the previous editions, a geographic sampling of explicitly sex discriminatory laws relating to marital status, personal status, economic status and in addressing violence against women are highlighted to plainly show the unequal treatment of women and girls in the law. Contact information for the applicable heads of state is also given to allow people to call on them to amend or repeal the law. More than half of the laws highlighted in our 199, 2004 and 2010 reports have been fully or partially repealed or amended.

Jurisprudence on Sexual Offences & Proposals to Close the Gaps for the Prosecution of Rape in the Sudan
Published: 2014. Format: pdf, 1.67MB 28 pages.
Available in English and Arabic
This report complements Equality Now and partner advocacy in Sudan aimed at getting clarity and guidance in the law to address discriminatory legislation on rape and sexual violence, particularly provisions of the 1991 Sudanese Criminal Code (section 149) which are resulting in women and girls being re-victimized and punished for crimes committed against them. Produced in conjunction with women's rights activist Dr. Muna Eltayeb M. Eltayeb, and with the support of NEPAD Spanish Fund for African Women's Empowerment, the report includes a contextual analysis of rape laws in Sudan and highlights actual cases and trends that underscore the detrimental effect of discriminatory laws and Sudan's failures to meet international and regional obligations. Note: In April 2015, the Sudanese government amended its Criminal Code. Article 149 now includes a rape definition meeting international standards, and Article 151 now includes a new element criminalizing sexual harassment.

Greensboro, NC-- Nothing changes a game like the weather, especially if it's golf. Wyndham Championship officials have already made changes for Saturday because of inclement weather that may move into the area.
In order to complete Saturday's third round--tee times have changed for the PGA TOUR and Wyndham Championship. Golfers will play in threesomes from both the first and 10th tees. The goal is to complete play at 2:30 p.m. Play was scheduled to end at 6:30 p.m. with the CBS Sports broadcast, but any significant delay would make completing the third round on Saturday challenging.
Wyndham Championship Round 3 Pairings
"We've had so much rain here in the Piedmont of North Carolina that the water table is so high it's not going to take much rain at all to cause us some problems on the golf course," PGA TOUR vice president, rules and competition Mark Russell said. "With the 6:30 p.m. finish tomorrow night on CBS Sports, if we got knocked out, we'd have absolutely no time to come back and try to finish. So, the forecast is better for Sunday and hopefully by playing early tomorrow, if we do have some down time, we'll at least leave ourselves time to get the players back out and finish the third round."
Revised Saturday Schedule:
5:30 a.m. Caddy and volunteer lots open; shuttles begin
6:30 a.m. All public parking areas open, parking shuttles begin
6:30 a.m. Tournament gates open
7 a.m. First tee time
2:30 p.m. Approximate completion of play
Note: Parking shuttles will run until two hours after play is complete or 9 p.m., whichever comes first.
The new schedule will alter plans for the second annual Wyndham Championship Tropical Wear contest. Fans attending the Wyndham Championship tomorrow will have another chance to win a vacation from Wyndham Worldwide by winning the contest. The Tropical Wear contest will now begin at 11 a.m. under the Margaritaville at the Wyndham tent with an autograph session featuring Rock 92 personalities Chris Kelly and "Biggie." At Noon, the contest judging will begin with Wyndham officials and personalities from Rock 92 and 107.5 WKZL serving as judges.
The contest will now be complete by 1 p.m. Piedmont Triad golf fans should come to Sedgefield in their most creative tropical outfits. Tropical wear such as beach hats, sandals, Hawaiian shirts, shorts, skirts, grass skirts, sarongs, cover-ups, scuba gear, etc. are examples of acceptable contest attire. Thong bikinis and other clothing that is not widely considered family friendly will not be eligible for the contest.
