Harmful emissions from burning kerosine
All the aircraft used in civil aviation today operate entirely on kerosine. As this energy source combusts, it creates carbon dioxide (CO2 ). One ton of kerosine produces 3.15 tons of CO2 as well as water vapour and nitrogen oxide. These gases change the climate, and nitrogen oxide also affects air quality near the ground.
Fuel dumping
Fuel is dumped in large quantities only if an aircraft has to make an emergency landing shortly after take-off and must therefore drastically reduce its weight. This occurs between once and three times a year, and within the SWISS fleet is possible only with the Airbus A340.
Noise emissions
From a technical aspect, aircraft noise is caused by the engines. Hot and cold air meet here at very high speeds. Mechanical processes inside the engine create additional noise. Aerodynamics are responsible for the typical "rushing" sound that occurs as air flows over uneven points on the aircraft.
Investigations have shown that people perceive noise differently today than they did in earlier times. Our tolerance level has fallen continuously, and noise now irritates us more quickly than it once did. The same noise level can cause very different reactions in different people, based on the visibility and size of the aeroplane, the time of day, individual sensibilities, and general attitudes towards aviation and air travel.

SWISS takes its responsibility towards the environment extremely seriously, and follows the objectives of the International Civil Aviation Authority IATA. Specifically, they are:
- By 2020: to improve fuel efficiency by 1.5% annually
- From 2020: any growth in air travel should be CO2 neutral
- By 2050: to halve CO2 emissions over 2005

In order to achieve our targets, SWISS bases its environmental strategy on these four pillars:
Technological progress
New aircraft types produce less CO2. This is why the old Airbus A330-200 fleet had to give way to new A330-300 models. This reduces kerosene consumption by 13% per passenger. From 2016, we will be replacing our European fleet (Avro RJ) with Bombardier type C series aircraft. New technology makes these aircraft 25% more efficient than their predecessors.
SWISS supports research into alternative fuels, and is an active member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels (RSB) of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. The aim of the RSB is to develop a sustainability standard for alternative fuels.
Operational measures
The more efficient a flying process is, the less of a burden it is on the environment. For instance, high-performance flight management systems can help to better utilise high-altitude winds. Systematic loading provides the optimum aerodynamics. And when the situation allows, SWISS pilots on the Airbus A340 switch off two of the four engines after landing and taxi to their stand position on the two remaining engines. Find out more in the Lufthansa Balance.
Efficient infrastructures
Better utilisation of airspace, airports and flight safety can help to significantly reduce CO2 emissions from aviation. Unfortunately, airways are only rarely efficient because each country controls its own airspace individually. The European Commission wants to intervene here. The project "Single European Sky" would help to save up to 10 million tons of CO2 every year – enough fuel to keep the entire SWISS fleet flying for three years. SWISS is involved in the technology of the project, and together with Skyguide and Zurich airport has implemented the pilot project "Greener Wave".
Economic instruments
SWISS is committed to a global and fair system for treating aviation emissions. This system rewards active environmental care and facilitates fair global competition. Furthermore, every SWISS passenger can commit to individual voluntary compensation for the CO2 emissions they cause through "myclimate".

CO2 emissions and kerosene consumption
SWISS has greatly reduced its specific CO2 emissions since 2003. Today the figure is over 20% less per 100 passenger kilometres. In order to achieve this goal, SWISS has invested billions in new aircraft types, used lighter materials, and improved flight processes and its flight loads.
Noise emissions
In aviation, noise pollution on the ground is represented as a noise carpet. The area where the defined limit is exceeded is shaded out.In the past 25 years, the much-affected area around Zurich airport has shrunk by two-thirds even though aircraft movements have almost doubled. Newer, much quieter aircraft have dramatically reduced the number of persons affected by noise.

Officials at the University of Alabama say the Birmingham campus will close between December 24th and January 1st to save money on utility costs.
AL.com reports university officials say the closure will also serve as time off for non-hospital staff in exchange for not getting pay raises this year.
Officials say the university's hospital will maintain regular staffing levels while the school is closed.

ZF-8202: Inconsistency in setPluginLoader functionality in Zend_View_Abstract
Zend_View_Abstract is the only class that restricts usage to the defined Zend_Loader_PluginLoader. Other components like Zend_Form, Zend_Filter_Inflector, Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker allow usage of another defined pluginloader via the Zend_Loader_PluginLoader_Interface
{{Zend_View_Abstract::setPluginLoader()}} needs {{Zend_Loader_PluginLoader}} instead of {{Zend_Loader_PluginLoader_Interface}} because {{Zend_View_Abstract::getHelperPaths()}} is using a {{getPaths()}}-method that is not declared in the interface, so we cannot change this.
A way to solve this is to add {{getPaths()}} to {{Zend_Loader_PluginLoader_Interface}}, but this will break backwards compatibility.
Postponing to 2.0.
Zend_View_Abstract already correctly requires Zend_Loader_PluginLoader (and not the interface), so getPaths() must be defined in any plugin loader attached to the view helper.
That said, this should change in the future, but, also as noted, it cannot be done cleanly right now without a BC change.

BOSTON (AP) - Promising to fight to put families back to work, Democrat Elizabeth Warren has thanked supporters for her victory over incumbent Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown.
Warren is a Harvard law professor and former Obama administration adviser who helped set up a consumer watchdog agency after the Wall Street meltdown. In her victory speech, Warren said she intends to fight for a level playing field and to "hold the big guys accountable."
Warren's comments came shortly after Brown conceded the race, with the Republican telling supporters his campaign had "stood strong in the fight."
The contest between Warren and Brown had been one of the most closely watched Senate races as well as the most expensive, with the candidates spending a combined $68 million.
With her victory, Warren becomes the first woman elected to the Senate from Massachusetts.

I had to learn to separate the two; otherwise I found myself down in the dumps when things went wrong with the business. When things don't go according to plan, this is the most crucial time for the entrepreneur to be inspiring, enterprising, fearless, and most importantly self-assuring to oneself and the team.

- Reviews
What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
It's Just Okay.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I dislike it when the online sites don't provide you with enough pictures to look on the inside as well as the outside of the backpack.
I ordered it originally because I wanted a snowboarding pack to come with me on the slopes, but when it arrived I was excited to try on the backpack and get the feel of it. But I was utterly disappointed. It didn't have that many pockets, on the inside. and it was enormous on me. Disliked it a lot. Returned it.
Great Women's Backcountry Pack!!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've been using the Dakine Heli Pro 20L DLX for 4 years now and loved all the features and durability of the pack. I started looking for a nice pack for my girlfriend so I didn't have to keep carrying all of her stuff around everytime we went out.
I landed on this one. It has similar features to mine with a super deep goggle pocket (room for 2 pairs), slimmer profile which fits her 5'-0" frame nicely (slightly tall). And we can stuff it with a shovel, probe and lunch for the day without looking bulky or moving around during tough runs. The cross ski carry option holds her planks firm to her back during the light hiking that we do. This is nice because mine tends to move laterally quite a bit.
This pack has a rescue whistle ("I'm too slow, wait up!!" whistle) right on the chest buckle which is nice to keep tabs on each other through any run.
Overall a perfect backpack for backcountry or long days on the slopes. Buy one!! or two...

May 30, 2016
With revised vote totals reported from Baldwin County, apparently giving Republican Cong. Bob Riley victory over Democrat Gov. Don Siegelman, the battle for Alabama's top office now turns to the certification process.
Siegelman maintains that county election canvassing boards should
not rush to certify the county results like Baldwin County did Wednesday. The governor also said state law requires county canvassing boards to certify their results Friday and then report them to the secretary of state in Montgomery.
Secretary of State Jim Bennett and Riley's campaign both say that Friday is a deadline. But both also said if counties have a pattern and practice of certifying the official results earlier, it is legal under state law.
The canvassing board in Baldwin County certified results showing the correct number for Siegelman at 12,736, not the 19,070 initially reported by county officials on election night.

Adam Boyes Confirms: Call of Duty: Ghosts is Native 1080p on PS4
October 24, 2013 Written by Jason Dunning
After it was revealed that*Call of Duty: Ghosts*would run at 1080p on PS4 through a listing on the*PlayStation Store, many people have been wondering if this meant it would just output in 1080p, or if it would be native 1080p.Speaking at the Brazil Game Show happening right now,*Adam Boyes, VP of Publisher & Developer Relations at Sony Computer Entertainment America, confirmed that*Call of Duty: Ghosts*is native 1080p on the PS4.So, that settles that once and for all.Stay tuned for more news from the Brazil Game Show as it arrives.

Too bad the game is ugly as heck. Seeing it in motion compared to other next gen titles is frightful. Killzone SF wipes the floor with it.
I don't really need a water cooler/remote control as of right now.

Tools for Landing the Job
Equal Opportunity Interviewing
The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law's non-discrimination policy supports equal opportunity in interviewing. Despite the fact that employers agree to abide by this policy as a condition of interviewing at Ohio State, interviewers sometimes ask inappropriate questions during the interviewing process.
By inappropriate questions, we generally mean any number of questions, asked directly or indirectly regarding subjects such as race, color, citizenship, gender, age, sexual orientation, religious or economic status, criminal record and marital/parental status.
Outside of taking legal action, there are a range of options available to students when confronted with this situation.
Refuse to Answer the Question.
For example, if asked to provide details about a parent's or spouse's ancestry or nationality, a student might respond, "I'm curious about how that question is related to my ability to practice law in your firm?" If the interviewer persists, the candidate may choose not to answer the question and reply, "I feel uncomfortable answering the question as it violates the Moritz College of Law's non-discrimination policy."
Remember that interviewers may be inexperienced. They may be following up on a topic you introduced. They may ask a question because it was asked of them when they interviewed 20 years ago. They may not realize the question is inappropriate or unlawful.
Recognize that refusing to answer the question may eliminate you from further consideration. At the very least, it could create tension in the interview which may adversely impact the hiring decision. Conversely, such questions may eliminate the employer from your further consideration. After all, you are choosing your work environment - do you really want to be employed by a firm/organization that makes you feel uncomfortable by the questions its interviewer asked you?
Answer the Question.
If asked about children and child care arrangements, you might say something like, "I have a son who is three and attending a nursery school/child care facility." In answering, you give the interviewer information that could be used to discriminate against you. You can't tell whether the interviewer has a genuine interest in getting to know you better or is looking for factors that could disqualify you from further consideration.
In answering inappropriate questions, another strategy is to provide an intentionally vague response. To the prior question, you might respond, "I have the necessary arrangements in place to work the number of hours your firm requires." Technically, you have answered the question without providing personal details the employer can use to disqualify you from further consideration.
Answer the Question and Direct the Interviewer Back to Lawful and Appropriate Topics.
When asked about age, a student might respond, "I consider my maturity to be a significant advantage to the firm's goal of developing new business. Can you tell me what direction or training the firm would provide to turn my community contacts and prior business associates into new clients?"
If asked about marital status, the single candidate can discuss availability to work the hours the firm requires. The married candidate can discuss how stability and maturity make the candidate equal to the long-term commitment necessary to becoming a partner in the firm.
Your overall goal is to deal with difficult questions in a way that preserves your personal integrity and hopefully advances the employment process. Prepare by anticipating questions and developing responses in advance of interviewing. The Career Services Office is available should you need help in developing specific responses or an overall interviewing strategy, or if you need to report any instance of perceived inappropriate questioning.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Friday, the District of Columbia filed a civil suit against a former D.C. Public Schools principal, her daughter and her granddaughter for fraudulently evading D.C. school tuition for her great grandson who lived with the principal in Maryland and attended her school for free, according to D.C. Attorney General Irvin B. Nathan.
The lawsuit accused Barbara Campbell, the principal of Langdon Education Campus until the end of the 2011-2012 school year, of conspiring with her daughter and granddaughter to commit tuition fraud. According to officials, the three testified falsely under oath at an administrative hearing last summer that the boy lived in D.C. with his mother (Campbell's granddaughter) while attending Langdon during the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 school years, and for a small part of this school year. The lawsuit claims the boy lived with Campbell and she drove him to school frequently.
The District wants $24,707.90 for non-resident tuition for more than two years of D.C. public school attendance as well as civil penalties against all three women. If found guilty, the family members could be subject to a total of more than $75,000 in treble damages and civil penalties.

Eyepiece Performance using a Prism Diagonal
Posted 30 November 2013 - 11:14 AM
Bottom line was that the Prism won the show on both targets, producing a definite notch better results on Jupiter and being subtly better on M42.
The Tak Prism provided a clearer view of a white spot transit, showing greater perceived contrast as well as crisper definition. Structure within the main belts similarly had greater perceived contrast and crisper definition, with more detail being visible as a result. The polar region differences were even more pronounced. In the Prism there was a lot of detailed structure visible instead of just being a simple gradient of shades. The Dialectric showed none of this. Scatter around Jupiter appeared at about the same extent in both diagonals, however it was not as bright in the Prism. Finally, and oddly IMO, the focus snap was much more pronounced using the Prism. Overall I felt like these two eyepieces were performing at what I would characterize as a level better in planetary performance, similar to what I might see going from a lesser performing eyepiece to the ZAOs.
Moving to M42 I was looking for three things: faintest star transmission, nebula extent, and mottled structure performance. With transmission, both diagonals were performing the same relative to stars. In both Trap-E was just as well defined (F was not showing this evening) and adverted vision stars were showing just as well. Extent of the nebula was slightly better in the Prism, with the outer wings of M42 showing well with adverted vision in the Prism and barely at all with the Dialectric. The brightness of M43 was also more obvious in the Prism vs the Dialectric. Finally, the mottled structure presented itself close to the same with each diagonal, but my impression was that it was just a little more detailed with the Prism. This only became somewhat apparent when the magnification was increased -- not apparent using the 17mm (48x) but then seemingly better with the 2.5x Barlowed 25mm (82x). So not a firm call here.
As a side note, I do have an old Celestron 1.25" Prism from the 1980's, but wanted to see how a quality modern Prism performs against a modern Dialectric. FWIW, a surprise for me was that the light path of the Tak Prism was fairly shorter than the old Celestron Prism. Something I was not expecting.
Posted 30 November 2013 - 11:28 AM
Currently I am using a 2" AP Maxbright diagonal, but I still have the Tak diagonal. The main thing I don't like about the Tak diagonal is that the nosepiece is not threaded for filters. Optically though it is great.

Thanks for posting.
Posted 30 November 2013 - 05:16 PM
I wonder if anybody has ever compared an inexpensive 1.25" prism diagonal with a premium unit.
Hope Bill conducts more experiments , so that we get more info on it
I will compare it to my Celestron, but the Celestron I have never b een satisfied with...and it has some problems as a small part of the FOV on one side vignettes from something internal or maybe the prism is not entirely square. I've had it apart but have never been able to fully resolve what the issue is going on. So not sure my 1980's prism is representative for a comparison. \\With the Tak, while I was not looking for any added color, I did not notice any with last nights observing.
Posted 30 November 2013 - 05:18 PM
I find from experience that I prefer a prism over a mirror diagonal. I use an older Zeiss M44 prism diagonal in my f5.6 refractor and am very satisfied with the performance.
Posted 30 November 2013 - 05:22 PM
Posted 30 November 2013 - 05:36 PM
That sounds like a 'correct image' prism star diagonal to me.
I have many cheap 1.25" prism diagonals from the 60s and 70s (not correct image) and see these spikes in none of them.

Posted 30 November 2013 - 10:49 PM
I don't really know if the size of the eyepiece field stop would make a difference or not.
Posted 30 November 2013 - 11:07 PM
I have the Tak prism as well as both vintage and recent Japanese prism diagonals. I've never checked them head to head, but I have tested every diagonal I own and many I no longer own for scatter using calipers and a GLP (measuring contact spot diameters). Prism diagonals tested in this manner show very low scatter - better than the best dielectrics and on par with the best standard coated mirrors, which tend to be smoother than the dielectrics.
Posted 01 December 2013 - 12:28 AM
Bill, in some older CN threads it was mentioned that Prism diagonals are not suitable for shorter focal length telescopes (f10 and faster) due to refraction effects when light enters at an angle creating chromatic aberration. I noticed that you used a f8 refractor and it did not seem to be an issue. Might it be more of an issue with 2 inch diagonals and lower magnification? I would appreciate your insight.
Thank you, Ulrich
Same question here!
I remember reading the previous claim in the past, and it was the reason for my not buying a prism diagonal.
However, I suspect Jim is right by pointing out that it may have to do with the Tak design / material used in this particular prism, and not all prisms in general.
It's definitely an issue worth looking into, because according to Bill's findings, for the price of a good eyepiece you can enhance your planetary viewing by simply upgrading to this particular diagonal.
I think that this is the least expensive solution to increasing planetary contrast, because all eyepieces used with this particular diagonal will be benefited by it.
It's even more than " kill two birds with one stone " kinda thing ,since on average, we have our three to four favorite planetary eyepieces taking advantage of these wonderfully unexpected diagonal properties!

I do not have experience with either diagonal. Could the observed difference be just the higher optical quality of the Tak diagonal compared to the Astrotech diagonal. Would you still see an improvement if it was compared to an AP, TV or Baader dielectric diagonal? I would assume that a Zeiss prism diagonal should be of similarly high quality as a Tak Diagonal and would also show a similar improvement as a Tak.
PJ's reference to his excellent Zeiss prism diagonal corroborates Bill's report.
It's only logical to assume that quality and execution of design are of the utmost importance, because both samples come from reputable companies (Tak,Zeiss).

Incidentally, I feel the T2 Baader Zeiss prism outperforms the 2" Zeiss prism. Maybe the shorter path? But I use 2 inch ep's in the 6" so I'll keep it.
As Bill said "a definite notch better". There were several of us testing the diagonals and all involved agreed the difference was not subtle. To me the difference is as pronounced as the difference between an achro and apo.
Dust lanes and mottling pop so much more with the prism in my longer focal length scopes.
I found that the Baader 2"mirror is the better performer in the AT106 f6.5.

It is nice to see objects in right orientation. But so thick piece of glass introduces noticeable chromatic aberrations into image of my 80 mm F7.5 ED-apochromat. Then roof edge makes some artifacts: two strong rays into opposite sides of bright objects (like Jupiter, Venus) and distort a bit fine features in high magnification image (like astigmatism or doubling).
I think 2" prisms should not be used if you want to get image with high resolution/contrast.
Posted 01 December 2013 - 05:26 AM
This diagonal when compared to standard dieletric mirror 99% diagonal such WO / TS show better definition on planets and better contrast agaist background on deepsky objects.
The difference is more noticeable when i look at low contrast structure inside nebula.
Ill use in the future only prism diagonal and ill keep my Carl Zeiss (350 euro) forever.

A country, a mountain, a saintThis week we'll cup Finca Mauritania, Finca Kilimanjaro and St. Goret, which three coffees have in common that they're all newly available for sale this week and tasting great.
Notes on the CoffeesFinca Mauritania is in top form this year with all the buttery sweetness you could want from a cup of coffee. All of Aida Batlle's farms in Santa Ana, El Salvador suffered during 2013's outbreak of coffee leaf rust and Mauritania, which sits lower on the mountain than Kilimanjaro and Los Alpes and tends to be the most productive of the three farms, lost the highest percentage of its total production. Though Aida decided to sacrifice her organic certification to mitigate the effects of rust, our relationship with her remains strong and we are excited to celebrate ten years of buying coffee from Finca Mauritania this year! Also, since this coffee arrived a week and a half ago, it's been really interesting to taste Finca Mauritania next to other coffees from similar geographies across Central America. Increasingly across Latin America, older trees at 1,400 meters have been replaced by rust-resistant varieties like Catimor and the quality of the coffee has plummeted accordingly, to the point that we almost always end up blending with the coffees we do purchase from these elevations. Not so with Mauritania, where Aida has stuck with the bourbon variety, continued picking perfectly ripe coffee and processing it meticulously to remind us of how a farmer's choices realize the potential of the coffee plant.
While the bourbon variety at Finca Mauritania is super sweet, it can't hold a candle to the complexity of the variety planted higher up the Ilamatepec volcano at the Batlle's Finca Kilimanjaro. Colloquially called "kenia" in El Salvador, the appearance—or morphology, for you word nerds—of the coffee plants at Finca Kilimanjaro is reminiscent of the SL varieties that have made Kenyan coffee famous. Since this coffee won El Salvador's Cup of Excellence competition in 2003, it has been sold to a select few roasting companies around the world and we have slowly but surely managed to secure a larger percentage of Kilimanjaro's coffee every year. I always look forward to its arrival and this year's wine-like profile doesn't disappoint.
Another place we find SL-28 and SL-34 varieties growing is in Uganda, a country which is better-known for producing low-quality robusta than the stellar flavors we associate with neighboring Kenya. We've spent the past two years getting to know the Bukonzo Joint Co-operative of the Kasese district in western Uganda and this year we're thrilled to feature coffee from the farmer co-op of St. Goret, named for the parish in which it's located, as a single-origin offering. The elevation of St. Goret is comparable to Finca Mauritania, and in addition to the SL varieties I mentioned, they also grow Nyasaland, which is the Ugandan term for its oldest coffee, which was brought to the country in 1903 from Malawi—known as Nyasaland back in the colonial days. I'll be curious to hear what similarities you taste between St. Goret and Kilimanjaro that might be attributable to variety, because their prototypical descriptors tend to sit near one another on the flavor wheel.
Over the past five years, as our approach to buying coffee has evolved, we have differentiated ourselves from many of our peers in the specialty coffee industry through our ability to recognize potential and contribute to its development. In quality terms, that means exploring geographies with good varieties and elevation, sometimes in lesser-known countries of origin, and in relationship terms, that means finding small producers on the fringes of the quality market and building trust over time. When we started buying from Aida in 2004, we were just beginning to figure out what made great coffees great, and over the past decade, we've learned invaluable lessons about the significance of varieties, picking and processing through experiments done by Aida and other market-savvy, globally-connected coffee producers like her. As we've figured out what to look for and how to make good coffee better, we've been able to use what we've learned to enter into relationships in places like Uganda with marginalized smallholder farmers with clear goals and the knowledge of how to succeed. It's been a heck of a journey so far and I can't wait to see where we go next.

Who Says Wall Street Has No Sense of Humor?
You'll find plenty of mirth on Wall Street, if you know where to look -- namely, in the ticker symbols of certain companies. And before you dismiss a symbol like WOOF or BOOM as ridiculous, know that data from Pomona College suggest that companies with clever ticker symbols boast higher average returns.

SALEM, Ore. (AP) - Secretary of State Kate Brown has staked much of her case for re-election on her aggressive auditing of government agencies.
Brown, a Democrat, says she's done 236 audits finding $180 million in savings. A television ad shows her standing in an office with piles of black binders stacked around her.
But Brown's Republican rival, Knute Buehler, says she hasn't done enough to turn those recommended savings into actual dollars. Their spat has vaulted a mundane government function toward the spotlight in one of Oregon's only competitive political races this year.
"We're producing more audits with bigger impact than before," Brown told The Associated Press in a recent interview.
The Oregon constitution tasks the elected secretary of state as the "auditor of public accounts," among other functions. Brown's auditing division employs 71 people who examine the performance and finances of government agencies and recommend improvements where necessary. Most local governments also are required to hire a certified public accountant to audit their financial statements each year.
With a disciplined, well-funded campaign, Buehler has given Brown a tough re-election fight, and she's turned to the work of her auditing division to lay out her case for a second term.
In 2008, the year before she took office, the secretary of state's auditing division identified $8 in savings for every $1 spent on auditing, Brown points out. In 2010, the figure ballooned to $64 in savings for each dollar invested.
"I would say that's a real return on your investment," Brown said.
Brown's office produced data showing auditors found $152 million in savings in 2010. The state spent $2.4 million dollars on those audits, backing up her claim of $64 in savings identified for every dollar spent investigating them.
Over a 10-year period, however, 2010 was an outlier, boosted by a single audit of the Department of Revenue. The review found 66,000 people who should have filed a state income tax return but didn't in the 2007 tax year, leaving about $108 million on the table. Returns on audit investments were below 10-to-1 in five of the previous nine years.
Regardless of the ratio, Buehler asserts that Brown isn't doing enough to actually realize the savings her auditors have identified.
"There's just a lack of accountability, and I think we see that in so many ways," Buehler said.
Buehler says Brown hasn't used several hammers in state law that she could deploy to force agencies to comply with her audit recommendations. In some circumstances, the secretary of state can have the state withhold 10 percent of the money owed to local governments if they won't correct problems identified in an audit, or she can recommend that the governor withhold pay from state officials who drag their feet.
Buehler's campaign also says Brown has exaggerated the potential savings or failed to audit certain agencies. He says Brown's auditors missed red flags
Brown acknowledged that she couldn't say exactly how much money was saved or recovered as a result of her audits, but she said her office has stepped up efforts to follow up on recommendations. Brown meets with agency directors to discuss audits, she said, and auditors sometimes do follow-up audits to check on progress.
Auditing standards say their findings are only recommendations and not mandates, said Gary Blackmer, director of the auditing division under Brown. Buehler's recommendations risk violating those standards, he said.
"That starts approaching a mandate when you say, 'You either do what the audit says or we're going to take your pay away,'" Blackmer said.

Brown and her opponent, Knute Buehler, were recently on KATU's Sunday morning political show, "Your Voice, Your Vote." Watch the show below.

When Tinsley came to Iowa State he was a Junior. So, Could Colvin be as good as Tinsley in 2 years (a year and a half now i guess)? I think the sky is the limit for Colvin.
I dont know about that, but he has ALOT of upside.

NO! I mean really... do you see us in the Elite 8 and a NCAA screw job from a national title. He may fill the role, but no JT will he be.
No. JT learned his game at Rucker Park. He is not going to be another JT.
This kids potential is not elite, but very high. Think, Tyrese Rice of Boston College, But instead of dropping 46 on NC, he'll drop it on the KU turd-birds from the south..
Give the kid some space and credit. He may not end up as good as J.T.
How many do?
If he ends up as good as CC can be...thats great!
Just enjoy the ride.
At least try.
Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.
Perhaps on the offensive end, but I doubt he'll ever have the scrappy intangibles that Tinsley had on defense. Tinsley had a lot of steals, but he also had a bunch of blocks, especially in his first season. The one thing I used to love that Tinsley did was this weird cackling thing. It would mess with and get into the offensive player's head. He did it less as his career with us progressed but at first it was hilarious.
In 2 years we will know. If he is still here
i would say no. Tinsley was sick on a whole different level not only on offense but defense as well. Anytime tinsley wanted to be at the rack.....he was. If he didnt score he made the great dish. Colvin i think will be a great gaurd but its hard to compare him to Tinsley. Tinsley was also much bigger, colvin has time to get bigger and stronger hence the 2 years but i dont see him being as dominant

Wait, so because Colvin grew up playing in Chicago he isn't going to be as good as Tinsley. There are a lot of reasons why Colvin won't be as good as Tinsley but that is probably the dumbest reason I have ever heard.

Our Immune Balance Formula was developed by a certified Master Herbalist to help stop the progress of autoimmune conditions thereby reducing tissue damage caused by the body's own white blood cells. The herbs in this formula act as immunomodulators to help balance the immune system and reduce inflammation.
Recently, researchers discovered a constituent found in hydrangea root, called halofuginone, halted the progression of an autoimmune disorder in laboratory mice and human cells. What makes this constituent so promising is that it slowed progression of the disease without suppressing normal immune system functioning. Many of us are aware that a major drawback to the use of immune suppressing drugs as treatments for autoimmune disease is increased risk for infections because of suppressed immune system functioning.
This formula makes a good adjunct to Colostrum Powder for Dogs and Cats and our Thymus Glandular for Dogs and Cats.
✓Organic Herbs
Our formula contains organic herbs that research shows have higher amounts of important nutrients as opposed to conventionally raised plants. Organic farming methods are also better for the environment and of course do not have the levels of residual pesticides that conventionally grown herbs can have.
✓ Natural Ingredients
Natural ingredients are going to be gentler on your animal's body when compared to synthetic chemical ingredients or medications. The proper natural constituents are able to provide the body with what it needs to heal and get better. This is in direct contrast to synthetic ingredients or medications that can be especially hard on the liver and kidneys. Medications are also designed to have a symptom suppressing action in line with the principles of allopathic medicine which is to create a diagnoses and then use drugs to suppress symptoms. Using this course of action can never result in true healing and is not really meant to.
✓Non Alcoholic Tincture with ORGANIC Vegetable Glycerin for Animals
Our blend is formulated by a special process using low heat and organic vegetable glycerin. Tinctures are concentrated forms of a plant's constituents that are readily absorbed and utilized by your pet's body. Because your pet may not like the taste of alcohol, we use vegetable glycerin which gives our tinctures a sweet taste your animals will like. Vegetable glycerin is a carbohydrate but is metabolized differently than sugar and does not raise blood sugar levels. It is also an efficient menstruum which extracts valuable constituents from plants and makes them readily available to the body. In addition, we take the extra time and effort to use a low heat process that extracts many more constituents than just soaking in glycerin alone as is done by most other herbal companies. And, of course, the use of USDA organic vegetable glycerin ensures your pet avoids genetically modified ingredients and herbicides in their natural medicine.
✓ Uses only Human Grade Ingredients
Our products are manufactured using human grade ingredients. In the pet industry this is far from the rule as many companies use pet quality ingredients, those considered "not fit for human consumption".
✓ Uses Fresh, High Quality Ingredients
We purchase our ingredients from some of the most highly regarded companies in their respective fields so you and your animals are ensured the finest quality supplements. In addition, we purchase in small quantities to make sure the products we provide to you are fresh and bursting with important nutrients. This is in direct contrast to many other products on the market that can spend a year or longer sitting in non-climate controlled warehouses before they even get to you.
Hydrangea Root (Hydrangea arborescens), Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra), Milk Thistle Seed (Silybum marianum) in a 1:5 ratio of herb to menstruum.
*This is a new formula and is not yet indicated on our labels. Until we have new labels printed please don't be confused if you get a label with different herbs shown.
Other Ingredients - Organic vegetable glycerin, distilled water. Alcohol Free!
Hydrangea Root - Recent research showed that a constituent in this herb called halofuginone halted the progress of autoimmune conditions.
Licorice Root - A very effective and fast acting anti-inflammatory herb that also acts as an immunomodulator to help balance the immune sytem. May allow you to reduce the dosage, or hopefully avoid the use, of more dangerous corticosteroid drugs provided by your veterinarian.
Milk Thistle - A well known herb that has powerful antioxidant properties, helps to eliminate metabolic wastes associated with tissue damage and helps to protect and increase the effectiveness of the liver.
Provide 1 ml per 25 lbs 2 - 3 times per day. May be squirted directly in the mouth, placed in a small amount of favorite food or added to meals. It is desirable to provide herbal remedies such as this away from meals for better absorption when possible.
You may safely use up to 4 mls per 25 lbs 2 - 3 times daily for a short period of time depending on the severity of your animal's condition. Contact us if you have any questions.
To apply directly in mouth just pull out lower lip at back of mouth and squirt in desired amount. Don't tilt head back and squirt down throat or your pet may breath some in. Wipe off dropper before placing back in container.
Storage: For longer term storage keep in refrigerator. If this herbal remedy will be used over a few weeks refrigeration is not necessary.
Discontinue use if any unusual symptoms occur.
Follow the links below to view Natural Pet Health Protocols in which this product is included. We have created these protocols using our years of experience working with dogs and cats. Protocols are a group of supplements that work together to help support weak organs and glands and improve overall health. They can be very powerful at solving many pet health complaints and often result in true healing. We feel they are a much better alternative to medications that basically just suppress symptoms and often have many serious side-effects. There may be a time and place for prescription drugs, however we feel that time is after a safer and more natural approach has been tried.

St. Louis (KSDK) - NewsChannel 5 has confirmed Lil Musial, wife of Stan Musial, has died at 91.
Sources say she had been ill for some time.
Lil was born in 1920, and one of eight children. She first met Stan when she was 15-years-old when her father took her to watch the Donora Zinca play in 1934.
Musial was pitching for the semi-pro team at the time. They became high school sweethearts and married in May 1940.
St. Louis Cardinals Chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. released the following statement:
"We have lost a valued member of the Cardinals family. Lil was the love of Stan's life - - a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She was a remarkable woman who touched the lives of so many people. From her selfless work in organizing the Cardinals Pinch Hitters group to her more recent efforts to help homeless, runaway girls with the Covenant House, Lil was always helping others. The entire Cardinals organization extends its sincere condolences to Stan, their children Richard, Gerry, Janet and Jean, and their eleven grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren."

Nondefense Discretionary (NDD) Programs FAQ
What is "NDD?"
Discretionary programs differ from "entitlement" programs that are funded rather automatically to meet the needs of all who qualify for them. Discretionary programs are those that Congress funds annually through the appropriations process. Congress retains complete discretion, or choice, on whether to fund discretionary programs and at what level.
Nondefense discretionary or "NDD" programs are core functions government provides for the benefit of all, including medical and scientific research; education and job training; infrastructure; public safety and law enforcement; public health; weather monitoring and environmental protection; natural and cultural resources; housing and social services; and international relations. Every day these programs support economic growth and strengthen the safety and security of every American in every state and community across the nation.
What is the sequester?
The Budget Control Act of 2011 (P.L. 112-25) established caps on discretionary spending for over 10 years, resulting in $1 trillion in cuts spread across defense and NDD programs. The law also directed a congressional Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction to identify an additional $1.2 trillion in budgetary savings over 10 years. The failure of the bi-partisan "super committee" to come to an agreement on a deficit reduction plan triggered a "sequester" to take effect on January 2, 2013.
To sequester means to set apart or to take something away until a debt has been repaid. In the context of funding federal programs, sequester means imminent, across-the-board cuts to most programs, both defense and nondefense—in addition to the $1 trillion in cuts already sustained through the Budget Control Act's discretionary caps.
There are a few discretionary programs that are exempt from the sequester in the first year, such as Pell grants in the Department of Education. Some mandatory programs (e.g., Medicaid) are also exempt from the sequester.
How will the sequester impact nondefense discretionary programs?
In 2013, the sequester will mean an automatic 8.4 percent cut to program funding levels in 2013 for most NDD programs. These cuts will truly be across-the-board, with no departmental or agency control on how the sequester impacts individual programs.
Is there really any chance Congress will change its mind about the sequester?
Of course there is! There is already a vocal constituency clamoring to exempt defense programs from the sequester's reach. Of course, removal of only defense programs from the sequester would place additional burden on NDD programs. Leaders of national coalitions and networks who joined together in crafting this letter believe it is critical for Congress to reverse course and work to achieve deficit reduction with a balanced approach that does not include further cuts to NDD programs.
What can my organization do?
Your organization can sign onto this letter, urging Congress to, "find a balanced approach to deficit reduction that does not include further cuts to NDD programs."
Your organization can also help by sharing this letter with your networks, state and affiliate chapters. All national, state and local organizations are encouraged to sign! The more sign-ons we have, the bigger our impact!

Two charged in Citra armed robbery, shooting
Published: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at 5:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at 5:03 p.m.
OCALA – Two suspects have been charged in an armed robbery and shooting that occurred on Friday in Citra.
Montel Brown, 20, of Citra, and Ferron Lee Williams, 19, were charged with robbery with a firearm and attempted felony murder, according to Marion County Sheriff's Office reports.
The victim, who was shot in the leg, told detectives he and another man had arrived at his Citra home in the 17300 block of Northeast 18th Avenue. He got out of the vehicle and was approached by two men wearing masks and dark clothing.
The gunmen demanded everything they had, the victim said. His passenger got out and ran away.
The victim said he heard three loud bangs and then felt a pain in his leg. A robber pointed a handgun at his head and ordered him to get down. The victim said he fought with the suspects as they reached into a pocket and removed his money.
He recognized one of his attackers as Brown. In an interview Friday, detectives said Brown not only identified Williams as his accomplice but also said they only wanted to rob the victim and didn't want to hurt anyone.
Sheriff's detectives found Williams on Tuesday. He denied any part in the robbery.

Best Uses
Kayano is back! I'm talking pre-nineteen back. Back to what Kayano is known for: the best cushioning, the best stability, the best fit, the best ride, the best value. Picks up where 17 and 18 left off. So dialed in. Welcome back Kayano! Nice Asics, real nice.
Sturdy, comfortable, no heel problems that others mentioned (has to do with how I lace the shoes).
Use to be a loyal Asics GT series runner, and always wanted to try the Kayano's. Finally did with the 21s and after 25 miles they have been returned. Felt plush and decent in the store but didn't turn out that way on the road, maybe I was on one of those cushioned mats. Hard feeling while running, with some forefoot cushioning. This shoe runs small, very cramped in the shoe I and Use very thin socks and have a normal foot. I changed the lacing to parallel laces to alleviate the pressure and provide more room, and it worked. Running in them felt bad, felt hard, brick-like and didn't offer any positive qualities in my opinion, the Kayano's just didn't do any one thing well, and didn't stand out. There are too many new shoes with new technology on the horizon, HOKA, adidas boost, Saucony Everun to use these old timers.
Excellent shoe. Very comfortable. I like the shoe cushioning. Not quite as good as the Kayano 17, but still excellent.
Best Uses
shoes look good and feel good I like the lime and blue color. What I don't like is that the padded color around the heel bleeds the lime color on my socks. Washing does not take the lime color out the socks. Maybe wear black socks so it doesn't show
Probably the most cushioned as if there was a spring yet supportive running shoe I've ever worn. But like every ASICS shoe I've ever worn, after about 100 miles on them, a hole starts to develop inside the cushion in the heel of the shoe.
Asics does it again!! This is my second pair and I really like it. The shoe really hugs your feet and supports your run each step. I used to wear under armor shoes and after running in them, I would get knee pains. My fiancé recommended these shoes and it really fixed that problem. I would continue to get these as my go to running shoe.
Best Uses
I wear a 4E with and the kayano 21 is tight even I have it stretched. I had the same problem with the kayano 20 but it was ok after I had it stretched. Perhaps the 21 was no able to be stretched. The best solution would be asics to increase the with on their 4E. I don't know if there also problems with the other E widths.
Best Uses
Asics keeps getting better and better with the new Asics gel- kayano 21. Its excellent for running with amazing cushioning and support to energize my hard workouts and long runs. Although i would like to see a weight change since the shoe is kinda heavy but overall i am very pleased!
Best Uses
I've put about 300 miles each on two pairs of Kayano 20s, and loved them. I like the 21s even better. I have about 30 miles on the 21s now. So far, so good!They fit me better, especially in the heel, and seem to have better cushioning in the mid and forefoot. Overall, a more comfortable ride than the 20s.
I have run the K series going back to the 17's. People complained about the 19's but for me as a lighter runner I thought they were OK. I was glad they put more cushion back in the K20's. However, when comparing weights on my mail scale the K21's are 4 ounces heavier than the K20's & 6 ounces heavier than the K19's. Even if my scale isn't calibrated perfectly it clearly shows that the K21's are heavier. I like the way they feel but not the added weight. I am not sure how they can claim they are lighter. I might buy more K20's based on cost. I have run 12 miles in them with no problems so still a great shoe.
Best Uses
I have moved away from Asics because they were not as durable. I have been using Brooks Trance and NB 1260 v2, but found both started to lose their support after 6 -7 miles. I did an 8 mile tempo run right out of the box and they were the true battle axe of a shoe I was hoping for. I had previously tried the Kawano 19 and was disappointed, but this has been a great shoe.
Best Uses
These shoes have more support in the heel area and definitely a lighter, more responsive shoe that is a pleasure to run in.
Best Uses
These shoes make the last model feel tired. More support in the heel area and definitely a lighter more responsive shoe that is a pleasure to run in. Worth every cent of the investment!!
Best Uses
I love these shoes! I ran on the GT-200 V2 and I decided to upgrade for more cushioning and the 21's deliver! The only thing I have to report is the some small wiggle room in the heel, but I'm guessing I need more miles in them to break them in!
Best Uses
I have had many Gt series shoes. Lately I have found myself adding various insoles or pads to lessen metatarsalgia. Just finished first 5 mile run in Kayano 21 and felt effortless by comparison. The insole is nearly identical in shape and thickness to gt 2000-2, has same Asics part number, but the Kayano insole is easier to compress and weighs a few grams more.
Best Uses
Did 5 miles right outta the box. No brake in period needed. Had a great fit and feel to them. Was lighter than the Kayano 20's but more cushionee than the 19's. Almost felt like I was wearing the Nimbus. Hopefully they feel this good after i start putting the miles on them. Nice update Asics 10/10
Best Uses
first day wearing them on a long day walking on cement floors, feet don't hurt...ordered 3 more (while still available in my size) Highly recommend using the foot chart provided by Road-Runner for size -- found out I needed 1/2 size wider & longer -- big difference, along with the extra cushioning. I'd give it 5 stars but haven't worn them long enough to say for sure, and don't know what "perfect" is, but so far so good -- as said, the best yet.
first run today in my 21s. Great update; good fit and cushioning. Seems to have just a little more room in the toebox than the 20s and got rid of the pinching that I was having. Overall very pleased
Just got them today and I am really impressed. Vast difference from 20 to 21. Although I only ran 1/2 miles in them after taking out of box, I like the bounce they give as it stated. Lets hope they hold up to the miles I will be running in the coming months. I may even purchase another pair for my work.

The Evans High School basketball team started the season 2-0 before dropping three of its next six games. Since then, coach Kevin Kenny has the Knights back on track and riding a six-game winning streak heading into region play.
The final victory in that run was a very convincing 62-44 win over a pesky bunch from Grovetown High School in the championship game of the Monterrey Christmas Tournament. Damian Foreman paced the Knights with 23 points. With the victory, Evans improves to 11-3 on the season.
Nicole and Ebony Wells left their mark on Columbia County during their very successful prep basketball careers. Nicole was a standout for Harlem High School, earning All-Region and All-County honors in 2008-09. That season she helped guide the Lady Bulldogs to one of the finest seasons in school history. Harlem finished 24-4 and advanced to the state's Sweet Sixteen, losing 58-57 in overtime to Bainbridge. Wells averaged 14 points and eight rebounds per game.
When people discuss Columbia County's top football products, Kyle Tudor's name does not come up immediately. I am not sure why.
Perhaps it is because he only played defense during his days at Lakeside High School, or maybe it is because he missed half of his senior season with an injury.
Columbia County sports had a great year in 2012.
It started with an incredible run in the spring. Columbia County teams gave fans plenty to cheer about in soccer, tennis, baseball and golf, with several teams making deep playoff runs and some going the distance to win state titles. This summer, Lakeside High School product Reese Hoffa carried the torch (pardon the pun) for the county at the London Olympic Games. Then, this fall, Harlem and Greenbrier had tremendous seasons in softball, with each making it to the Elite 8.
Here is the 2012 Columbia County All-County Football Team.
Columbia County Player of the Year
Tyler Roberson (senior/Augusta Christian)
With the high school basketball season in full swing, several girls and boys teams are off to hot starts.
Girls teams
Augusta Prep: The Lady Cavaliers maintained their perfect record by beating Augusta Christian 40-30 over the weekend. Amanda Murphy led the way with 19 points. Prep has not allowed more than 45 points in a game this season and has held seven of their nine opponents to less than 40.
The 2-AAAAA Football All Region team has been announced and Columbia County has a major presence. Despite fielding only one of the four playoff teams from the region, 19 players earned all-region honors.
Georgia Southern is making another post-season run. Over the weekend, the Eagles topped Old Dominion 49-35 in the Football Championship Series national quarterfinals. The victory puts GSU one win away from playing for the national title.
Greenbrier High School baseball coach Chris Wilkins will again hold a winter baseball camp at the school.
Most of the counselors at the camp are former Greenbrier baseball standouts.
Two of the more notable counselors will be former University of Georgia star and Seattle Mariners farmhand Rich Poythress and Brandon Cumpton, who starred at Georgia Tech and now is in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization. In addition to Poythress and Cumpton, seven former Greenbrier players who play on Division I teams and six more who play Division II will be instructors.
Alabama and Georgia put on quite a show over the weekend in the Southeastern Conference championship game. Both teams played their hearts out and the game came down to the wire. In the end, to the dismay of UGA fans, Alabama held on for a 32-28 victory and earned a spot in college football's BCS title game vs. Notre Dame.

RICHMOND - A fast start keyed Harrison Central's 58-41 victory Wednesday at Edison.
The Huskies outscored the Wildcats 14-2 in the first quarter and 27-11 during the first 16 minutes of the game before cruising to the 17-point victory.
"It was big," Harrison Central coach Justin Clifford said of this team's early run. "We traditionally haven't played well here. We got beat here last year so we came out ready to play."
Article Photos
Harrison Central's Fletcher Watt (10) takes a jumpshot during Tuesday night's game at Edison.
After tying the score at 2-2 just under two minutes into the game, the hosts went without scoring until about a minute into the second quarter when a Ryan Kramarich bucket made the score 15-4.
"First quarter we came out sluggish," Edison coach Nate Moses said. "We came out real sluggish. We came out and scored two in the first and were down 14-2 after one.
"You score two points in the first quarter, I'd say that's a sluggish start."
Kramarich led the Wildcats with a 10-point performance.
"Ryan's one of our three seniors," Moses said. "He played well. He had 10 points. We don't look to him for a lot of scoring most nights, but he scored for us (Tuesday). It was nice to see."
Fletcher Watt and Rashaen Mitchell spurred the Huskies first half dominance as they combined for all 14 Harrison Central points in the opening quarter, and scored 22 of 27 points for the half.
The dynamic duo shared top honors for the Huskies with 19 points each.
The second half saw the Wildcats have more success on the offensive end, being outscored just 31-30 over the final 16 minutes.
"We tried to sub some guys in there early and it didn't work out well for us, but they've got to get their feet wet sometime," said Clifford. "Those other guys stepped up. We didn't shoot real well in the second half, but give them credit, they played hard all the way to the horn.
"We've been trying to do it all year. There's going to be a time and a point where we may get in some foul trouble or something like that."
We're trying to get some guys ready, and we'll see."
Nick Pelegreen joined Watt and Mitchell in double-digits with 13 points. He scored 11 of those in the second half.
Austin Hyndman and Dylan Jones each added nine points for the Wildcats.
"Going into the game on Friday we have three seniors (Kramarich, Alec Jones, and J.D. Howell) that we want to send out with a win," Moses said. "We're working, trying to get better day by day. That's what we try to stress to these guys, to get better day by day.
"We're playing a lot of young guys that are getting a lot of experience for the future. Just wish we could get a couple more wins for our seniors. We'll try to send them out with one Friday."

Now is the time to pay attention to the ankle. Elevate it, above your heart, wrap it with an ice pach & after about 15 minutes, swap the ice for heat,for about 10 minutes ( so the cool slows the infalmation, then, the heat allows the blood flow to increase & haul away the detritus from the injury.) Then, nothing for 15 or 20, then cold again, the heat, then nothing. Pay attention to it, avoid the beer, comforting as it sounds, The NSAIDS arent that good an idea, ( non steroidal anti inflamatories) like Tylenol. An ace wrap, lightly, to h9inder the swelling, not to try to crush it back to proper size. No, I've never been injured!

Trucking news: ACT data says August commercial vehicle orders hang tough
September 21, 2011
Data from ACT Research, a provider of data and analysis for trucks and other commercial vehicles, showed that commercial vehicle orders did fairly well in August in light of the increasing amount of economic turmoil in recent weeks.
LM reported last week that in ACT's preliminary reading of the North American medium and heavy-duty vehicle markets, North American Class 8 order hit 21,200 units, which was ahead of the preliminary tally of 20,800 units.
August is up 13 percent improvement over July's 18,700 orders and 71 percent improvement over July 2010's 12,400 orders.
"The events that caused confidence to wane are still in play and are likely to haunt the economy in coming quarters" stated Kenny Vieth, president and senior analyst at ACT, in a statement. "However, there was not any perceptible impact on the front-end of the commercial vehicle demand continuum. Medium duty and heavy duty vehicle orders rose above expectations during the month and cancellations remained modest."
ACT President and Senior Analyst Kenny Vieth told LM in a recent interview that ACT had some early concerns about how the August numbers would turn out due to political turmoil and faltering consumer confidence numbers, among other things.
"We were a little bit leery as to how things would look," said Vieth. "July and August represent the two weakest order months of the year. The fact that we approached 21,000 orders in August, given the backdrop of [negative] headlines made these numbers a pleasant surprise."
The underlying fundamentals in the marketplace remain strong, said Vieth, explaining that there is more freight relative to trucks on the road. Pricing remains healthy, and that was reflected in the second quarter as carriers reported strong profit margins.
Another factor influencing higher orders is that used equipment prices are continuing to rise, said Vieth.
"There is enough freight out there and truckers are making money hauling that freight," he said. "Used asset evaluations are strong so it is facilitating a continued ability to replace older trucks with newer trucks.

I have a few users with largish mailboxes (approx 20,000 messages), and they sometimes get warnings while running the Zimbra web client. A message that says the script is taking an unusually long time to run comes up and gives the user a chance to cancel it.
I think the 5 second default in most firefox installations is a bit too agressive, and moved the value up higher, to give the web client a little more time to run.
In firefox, go to the URL: about:config
and change the setting dom.max_script_run_time to 60. Not "60", just plain 60.
I will report how well this works. Unfortunately there is no way to configure this in internet explorer.

Jason Perry enters his fourth season as a member of the Butler staff. He was named a men's soccer assistant coach at Butler University in 2012 following three seasons as an assistant coach at Oakland University and a successful professional soccer career. He's active in all facets of Butler's team operations, including recruiting, training, game management, scouting, travel and summer camps.
A former standout player and 2003 graduate of Oakland, Perry helped the Golden Grizzlies to a pair of Summit League titles and a trip to the NCAA Men's Soccer Championship during his three seasons as a coach for his alma mater. He worked with the team's forwards and defensive players, and both groups turned in positive results. In 2009, Oakland led the Summit League with just 13 goals allowed, and the Golden Grizzlies tied for the league lead in shutouts in 2010. Offensively, Oakland led the Summit League in shots in 2010.
In addition to his duties with the Golden Grizzlies, Perry also served as a head coach for the Bloomfield Force FC in the Michigan State Premier Soccer Program. He further served as an assistant coach for the U.S. Development Academy.
Perry joined the staff at Oakland following a two-year stint as Executive Director, Director of Coach and Player Development with the Flower City Soccer League in Rochester, N.Y. In his position with the league, he managed an average of 500-600 inner city youth dispersed over 48 teams with 35-45 coaches. He organized indoor and outdoor tournaments and participated in training sessions. He also assisted in the development of the Flower City Academy, a program where local college students and former professionals volunteer an academic tutoring service for FCSL participants.
The Butler assistant coach had a professional career with three different teams that ranged 2004-07. He was selected in the fifth round of the 2004 Major League Soccer SuperDraft by the Los Angeles Galaxy, and he spent 2004-05 with the team. He then played one season with the Syracuse Salty Dogs of the United Soccer League First Division, before joining the Rochester Raging Rhinos of the USL-1, where he spent two seasons. During his time at Rochester, he was a two-time recipient of the Iacovangelo Community Service Award Player of the Year and a three-time USL-1 Team of the Week selection.
Perry was a three-time All-Summit League performer at Oakland. He earned All-Region honors and was named a third-team All-American in 2003. A three-year team captain, Perry became the first Oakland player to be named Summit League Defensive Player of the Year as a senior, and he later became the first Oakland player to be drafted by a professional soccer organization.
He earned Oakland's Lepley Senior Scholar Athlete Award and received his B.A. degree in communications.

Circ-Cell is the new science of skin care. In a beauty culture that promotes over-exfoliation and forced cell turnover, Circ-Cell believes youthful, radiant skin stems from improving skin density - building skin up, not tearing it down. Their cutting-edge, innovative products work in tandem with your skin's innate biology and processes to deliver brilliant, balanced chemistry that makes skin resilient and supple.
Circ-Cell products are free of harmful elements, harsh chemicals, not tested on animals and are environmentally safe.
You've been following the beauty advice to exfoliate your skin, but your complexion isn't improving. Circ-Cell promotes a different approach to skincare, one that complements your skin's natural functions and doesn't leave your skin stripped. The Circ-Cell products were developed by a team of experts on the front lines of skin care. These scientists, researchers, and skincare specialists have created perfectly calibrated formulas that feature potent natural ingredients. Also noteworthy is what Circ-Cell doesn't put in their products. The line is free of artificial preservatives, added fragrances, parabens and propylene glycol. And Circ-Cell products are never tested on animals.
Do you have congested, irritated skin? Most regimens remove the debris from your pores, but at the same time they may sap your skin of its essential sebum and moisture. Circ-Cell has developed one cleanser that is effective at balancing all skin types. Whether you have dry, normal, oily, combination, or sensitive skin, this cleanser can work for you. The revolutionary formula utilizes the combination of meadowfoam seed oil and geothermal clay from the Arctic Circle to clear impurities, without removing the oil that you need to achieve a radiant complexion.
Here are some of the other innovative ingredients you'll find in the Circ-Cell range. Camphor attacks the culprits that lead to blemishes. Canadian willow herb reduces your redness and inflammation. Hyaluronic acid provides deep, nourishing hydration. Zinc oxide protects your skin from harmful UV rays. Wild yam makes lines less visible. And non-GMO soy helps to tone your skin.

Well, after looking at the new moon schedule this year... Looks like I will be hunting right on the tails of the biggest redneck yahoo party of the year. I hope the animals calm down enough to get close. I really hate hunting full moon weeks because elk get so quiet in the day hours after being active all night. I love that third week of September though, as the elk seem to be more engaged in the rut and more vocal than early in the month.
Puts me in a conundrum now.... Stick to what works on time, or stick to what works by moon schedule. Never really faced a decision like this one.
Paul!!??? I hunt right there out of town.... Whats your experience say in this split?

Standing Rock Sioux
Sitting Bull College
|When tribal colleges nominate a student for the prestigious Student of the Year scholarship, sponsored by the Adolph Coors Foundation, they look at the road those students have traveled to gain success.
Student of the Year awardees are outstanding academicians, leaders, and role models within their schools, and their communities. But the road to that success has not always been easy. Harriet (Standing Rock Sioux), an environmental science major completing her bachelor's degree program this year at Sitting Bull College (SBC) in Fort Yates, North Dakota stands tall amongst this year's honorees.
Harriet, a single mother, has juggled raising her children with her studies, work, and extra-curricular activities. In addition to maintaining a 3.4 in her rigorous and research-intensive coursework, Harriet is very active within her tribal college and local community. She is a member of The Wildlife Society, serves as the vice-president of the SBC Ecology Club, and as secretary for the SBC's American Indian Higher Education Consortium Student Congress.
As if Harriet's school and volunteer work are not enough to keep her busy, she also operates her own small business on the Standing Rock Reservation and in line with her degree interests, she is employed at SBC under a Brownsfields Grant from the federal government to conduct training for environmental cleanup efforts.
|Harriet's ambition and dedication to higher education have inspired her three children to pursue their college degrees at SBC. Harriet's daughters Jalisa and Shantelle are pursuing their bachelor's degrees alongside their mother, making studying a family affair by enrolling in a few of the same classes with her. Both young women are outstanding scholars in their own right. Jalisa was nominated by SBC's president and accepted into the American Indian College Fund's Embrey American Indian Women's Leadership Project. And Harriet's son is currently enrolled in a certificate program at SBC, where he will pursue a college degree next year.
It is no doubt that in seeking to further her own career and abilities, Harriet's leadership and success has inspired the next generation of American Indians in her family to achieve their higher education. Harriett graduated on May 10, 2012 with her Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Science.

Hi all, I have a problem with mail searching (Zimbra NE 7.2):
The word I want to find is ivana. If I search the exact term, with the , it works.
But if I try to search zivana, Zivana, *ivana it doesn't.
It seems like the partial word indexing is not accomplished if there are non-ansi characters.
Can someone confirm this, and tell me if there is a workaround?
