Hi, all, thanks for great forum for such great software. Love it.
We move our SSH daemon to a non-standard port just to slow the kiddies down just an extra hair bit so that their port scans trip or bots so we know theyre out theyre poking at us, anyway, when doing so it breaks the mail queues since they connect to the machine via SSH. How does one tweak the mail queues config' so it connects to the machine on our SSH
port? and or via another method other than SSH?
Thanks much.

The issue of affirmative action is under the microscope again as President Bush challenges the University of Michigan's policies for attracting more minorities to the college.
As stateline residents gather to remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., it was impossible to ignore the ongoing controversy swirling over affirmative action.
"Whatever an institution is doing to try and equal the playing field, I'm all for it. I do not agree with President Bush," Mark Hunter, Rockford Resident.
Debate over affirmative action on college campuses is an issue that doesn't seem to go away. Leaders at Beloit College say it shouldn't because it's an important of their mission.
"Because we believe a diverse student body contributes so much to a Beloit Education," said Nancy Monnich, Beloit College, Vice President of Enrollment Services.
While Beloit College doesn't have a written affirmative action policy, school officials say it's part of their mission to create a diverse student body and say when affirmative action comes under fire it creates concern.
"I think every college and university needs to keep affirmative action as a part of what they're doing," Monnich said.
Some prospective students think while diversity is important, they say race shouldn't be a factor in determining admission.
"Personally I think good students should get in. It doesn't matter what race or color you. It doesn't matter," said Phil Balzer, prospective student.
College officials say it's about much more than race; it's about creating a student body that's rich with economic, geographic and cultural diversity.
Including international students, 25 percent of the Beloit College student body is minorities or foreigners.

Mr. HASTINGS of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise to express deep concern about Azerbaijan's cessation of local broadcasts of Radio Free Europe and Voice of America. After threatening for months to remove RFE/RL and VOA from the FM airwaves, Baku did precisely that on January 1.
The official justification for this unfortunate decision is that a 2002 Azerbaijani law restricts such frequencies to local broadcasters. The Helsinki Commission, which I chair, sent a letter on November 24, co-signed by Co-Chairman Senator Benjamin Cardin and Ranking Minority Member Christopher Smith, to President Ilham Aliev in which we urged him to reconsider. We pointed out that keeping Congressionally funded RFE/RL and VOA off the FM airwaves was an unwise and unfriendly move and that ending these programs was a poor way to start a relationship with incoming President Barack Obama. But Baku did not budge. Nor, might I add, have we even received the courtesy of a reply since November.
In fact, there are grounds for even graver concerns. Baku had pledged that only FM broadcasts would be ended. On January 6, however, Azerbaijani authorities tried to close down RFE/RL's Internet operation--which they had said would not be touched.
It is difficult to see these actions in any light other than a desire to restrict information available to the public. As the State Department said on December 30, ``These media organizations play a crucial role in supporting democratic debate and the free exchange of ideas and information. This decision, if carried out, will represent a serious setback to freedom of speech, and retard democratic reform in Azerbaijan.''
I concur completely. Azerbaijan's record on media freedom was poor before this, with heavy state influence on the airwaves, three journalists in jail and frequent criticism by the OSCE, Council of Europe and freedom of speech advocates. Now, Azerbaijanis without access to cable or the Internet--which means most of the listening audience--are cut off from objective, impartial sources of information.
Azerbaijani relations with the United States will surely be negatively affected by this decision. I regret that when President Ilham Aliev eventually meets President Barack Obama, they will have to spend time discussing why Baku has shut down U.S.-funded radio stations, instead of exploring ways to deepen the relationship between our countries.
The Helsinki Commission intends to examine U.S. international broadcasting in a future hearing and discuss ways of ensuring the continuance of this vital service. Meanwhile, it is my hope that President Aliev will find a way to keep RFE/RL and VOA on the air.

text: LA Noire review LA Noire 19 May 11 by Chris Kohler Rockstar We are built to look for faces. When we see a face, it activates a particular part of our brain, one that some scientists say evolved specifically for the purpose of recognising, processing and storing face data in our cerebral Rolodex. We're so good at finding faces that we can find them anywhere, even where they're not: the man in the moon, Jesus on a slice of toast. All we need is two dots and a straight line in the proper orientation, and our brain sees a human being staring back at us.Videogames have long benefited from the brain's fervent, automatic search for faces, especially when two dots and a straight line was practically all technology could manage to display. Even early games could get us attached to their characters thanks to our natural tendency to ascribe human characteristics to anything that even barely resembled one.With its latest game L.A. Noire, Grand Theft Auto maker Rockstar Games has taken a significant step further, using pinpoint-precise motion-capture technology to record the faces of actors as they recite their lines. When I look at the man in the moon, I see a face; when I look at L.A. Noire's characters, I see people.L.A. Noire, released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 (reviewed), is a glimpse at the future of high-end videogames, the sort of hyperrealism we can expect from improving graphics technology and increasingly sophisticated storytelling.The game mechanics aren't nearly as sophisticated as they could be: as an LAPD detective in the late 1940s, you collect evidence and interrogate witnesses to build a case, gameplay that is derivative of (and, I would argue, done better in) games with cartoon graphics and melodramatic stories like Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. L.A. Noire's puzzle-solving is subservient to its narrative, but the simple allure of playing a part in the game's gripping story was such that nothing could tear me away from it.Los Angeles in the late 1940s was also poised at the edge of technological revolution: a city, as the game's opening scene states, built not around man but around the automobile. It was about to explode in the post-war boom into the model city of modern America, with wide-open freeways replacing jam-packed subway trains and Hollywood nudging out Broadway as the epicentre of popular culture.In its formative years, booming LA presented a power vacuum just waiting to be filled by crooked politicians and unscrupulous businessmen. Just the sort of place that needs a good cop.In this case, it's Cole Phelps, decorated World War II veteran and rookie detective. Phelps is played by you. In another sense he is played by Aaron Staton, better known as charming go-getter account man Ken Cosgrove in TV's Mad Men. (In fact, L.A. Noire is so lousy with Sterling Cooper employees that you half expect to see Don Draper behind the chief of police's desk. He's not.)L.A. Noire is, at its core, an adventure game, in which you go case by case with Cole, first examining the crime scenes for clues, then following up on leads that take you to new locations around L.A. Noire's virtual version of the City of Angels.L.A. Noire features some action gameplay sequences -- you may have to chase down a suspect or go on a shooting spree when things turn bad -- but these are ancillary to the experience. In fact, if you fail to complete them on your first couple of tries you can skip them outright. Taken alone, there is nothing especially impressive or unique about these sequences; they are simply there so as to accentuate the rising and falling tension of the stories.The real meat of the gameplay is the investigation and interrogation. Combing a crime scene for clues is not a difficult thing for naturally OCD gamers such as myself; all it takes is to cover every square inch of the territory available to you (a roped-off area of a public park; a suspect's filthy apartment). Just rub Cole up against every surface and press the X button whenever the controller helpfully vibrates and you'll eventually have an evidence notebook full of clues. As you might expect from the people that brought you Grand Theft Auto, Rockstar pulls no punches in L.A. Noire. Investigating a crime scene can be a shocking time, as you look for ligature marks on a woman's nude corpse or peer into the glassy eyes of an overdosed heroin junkie.

Billed as a "Battle of the Giants," Titan Fighting Championships 16's main event saw 569 pounds worth of fighting force clash in the cage at the January event.
But would "The Ultimate Fighter 10" cast member Abe Wagner's 258 pounds prove enough to topple super heavyweight and former UFC champion Tim Sylvia's massive 311-pound frame?
It didn't take long to find out.
Each week HDNet and MMAjunkie.com release a new and exclusive fight from the ever-growing HDNet Fights video library. Stunning knockouts, slick submissions, shocking finishes and legendary brawls are the norm for this weekly feature. Sylvia vs. Wagner certainly fits the bill.
Sylvia was originally expected to face chiseled UFC castoff Todd Duffee, but the heavyweight withdrew from the fight in favor of a New Year's Eve matchup with Alistair Overeem.
While Sylvia has been the victim of much criticism following a three-fight losing streak in bouts against Ray Mercer, Fedor Emelianenko and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, the former UFC champion entered the Titan Fighting Championships 16 bout with a four-fight win streak.
Meanwhile, after being bounced out of "TUF 10" in the tournament's opening round, Wagner was hoping to use the bout as a showcase fight to prove his worth on the big stage.
Would Sylvia continue his winning ways in a bid to return to the sport's biggest organizations, or would Wagner make a statement regarding his own future potential?
Check out the embedded clip for the answer.
Each week MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) and HDNet Fights (www.hdnetfights.com) team up for "HDNet Fights Vault," which offer a new and unique video from the organization's ever-growing fight library.

President Barack Obama on Wednesday pardoned two turkeys in the annual White House tradition, but only one was named "America's turkey."
The lucky bird named the official turkey of Thanksgiving – Popcorn – was chosen by voters around the country who visited the White House website to listen to each bird's gobble and get information about the two, including each turkey's favorite artist.
Popcorn beat Caramel to be named the official turkey, but both birds received a pardon.
PHOTOS: Turkeys who got a presidential pardon
According to the White House, each bird was born on July 8. They each stand approximately 2 feet tall and weigh around 38 pounds each. The dueling duo were both hatched and raised near Badger, Minnesota.
After the pardoning, Popcorn and Caramel were driven to George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate and Gardens, where they will be on display for visitors during "Christmas at Mount Vernon," a traditional program through Jan. 6.
The turkeys will then travel to their permanent home at Morven Park's Turkey Hill, the historic turkey farm located at the home of former Virginia Governor Westmoreland Davis in Leesburg, Virginia.

|Hospital focuses on HUD business plan
|Written by Chris Lee
One of the big topics of the June 22 hospital board meeting was Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The board voted unanimously to approve the submission of a business plan to meet a failed HUD requirement.
As reported at last month's meeting, the district failed to meet one of the nine requirements. The requirement to have not more than a one-percent loss in operating revenue for two years was not met. That figure comes from operating margin and does not include tax revenue, grants or contributions.
"I do want to make very clear that we had a positive bottom line both in 2007 and 2008," Ayoub said. "We are not a financially insolvent organization."
The district was required to write a business plan saying they recognize they weren't in compliance with the requirement and stating ideas and ways to become compliant.
Ayoub mentioned they focused on providers in the report. When Dr. Greg Holst left in January 2007, the hospital took a big hit as well as when nurse practitioner Kathy Meyer left. Then with the arrival of Dr. Kevin Cuccinelli and nurse practitioners Deana O'Gorman and Judy Sudmeier, Ayoub said the hospital hasn't been able to hit its stride. He said with Dr. Danielle McClellan coming on board they anticipate revenues will continue to go up as well as the ability to see more patients.
"We fully intend to not only make the requirement but to make it significantly this year," Ayoub said.
CFO transition under way
Jim Rush presented his final financial report to the board, and new CFO Greg Was will present his first report at next month's meeting.
The board granted an extension to keep Rush an additional 21 days to help make the transition easier for Was. They also approved the financial report in which Ayoub said MMH had a very good month in May. He said they brought in more revenue than budgeted for the first month since he has been here (March 2007).
Holyoke City Councilman Ray Bailey presented the board with the plans for the walking/biking path. According to Ayoub the board is in support of the path but would like to visit with legal counsel before writing a letter of support. Bailey said MMH has until the end of July to present that letter.
Strategic planning conducted
A SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) Analysis was conducted with multiple groups within the hospital. The medical staff, managers/department heads and leadership team all participated.
The reason for the analysis was to find out from different perspectives what is happening well and what can be improved upon both internally and externally to the organization. Results will be used for the board's strategic planning review or retreat Aug. 14, 15, 28 or 29.
Assignments for the five standing committees were announced, with the chairperson listed first: audit committee, Ray Malleck and Gary Rahe; community linkages committee, Sheryl Farnsworth and Malleck; administrator compensation committee, Steve Deaver and Farnsworth; credentialing committee, Rahe and Deaver; and the quality committee, Steve Young and Farnsworth.
Administrator reports
Ayoub said the hospital is in the process of looking for a new consultant pharmacist. The current consultant is from Greeley and has decided to move on and pursue other interests. A consultant pharmacist comes into the hospital once every quarter to look over the logs and make sure documentation is conducted properly.
The hospital is currently looking into bringing digital mammography to the hospital. The idea is to have a mobile unit come to the area but the issue is the images need to be read by a radiologist. MMH does not have a radiologist on staff so the board has been communicating with a gentleman from Brush who would be able to read the scans. Ayoub said transporting the images is another question.
The future of the modular unit at the old hospital location is still a question for the board. When the old hospital was sold, the modular unit was not part of that sale. The board had been speaking with another hospital but it is no longer interested.
Ayoub told the board he will be bringing in a couple of people to work with the active medical staff on some educational topics. All of the doctors are required to receive a certain amount of clinical medical education. In September they will focus on wound care. Ayoub said these will mostly be refreshment studies for the doctors but sometimes the instructors bring in new information.
Dr. McClellan will begin her orientation the week of July 28 and begin seeing patients the first week of August.
Ayoub met with Kenny Gaskill of the Comm Center and police chief Phil Biersdorfer to come up with ways to improve communication should a tornado threaten the hospital. Ayoub stressed it wasn't because of something either the Comm Center or Police Dept. were doing wrong but rather he feels the hospital would be able to improve upon strategies if they had additional assistance.
Ayoub said the hospital still has numerous records and papers at the old hospital location that need to be moved by the time the new owners of the building take over. Patient, employee and financial records are just some of the files at the location. Ayoub said the hospital is required to keep a good number of the records for certain periods of time.
A company will be brought in to shred all of the confidential records that don't need to be kept any longer. As for the records needing to be kept, a new storage modular quite different from the old one has been purchased and is at MMH.
Beginning in August, hospitals throughout Colorado will begin being contacted by Recovery Audit Contractors (RAC). RAC consists of people who are contracted through medicare. Ayoub said these folks contact hospitals requesting charts and records to find out if too much money was given to hospitals. Ayoub said MMH is making preparations because RAC has very stringent time lines.
A trauma survey will take place on July 30. Ayoub said surveys like this one come around every three years to make sure the hospital is up to par to be categorized as a trauma center. MMH is and has been a level four trauma center.
Other business
In other business June 22, the hospital board:
—approved credential renewal for nurse practitioners O'Gorman and Sudmeier and Dr. H. Rai Kakkar.
—accepted the MMH Foundation report given by Steve Young and Ayoub. They reported a good turnout for the golf tournament with 16 teams. Also reported were a couple of issues with the history wall and two misspelled names.
—held a 21-minute executive session for personnel discussion.
—noted the next board meeting will be held Monday, July 27.

MARSHALL COUNTY - Our Lady of Peace School Principal C'Ann Reilly said Friday was "a time to build community" while celebrating the school's 50th year of existence during its annual Friends and Family Day.
Students, teachers, administrators, guests and family members were packed into the school's gymnasium. Music filled the gym between messages of congratulations and adulation.
Among the honored guests were West Virginia first lady Joanne Jaeger Tomblin, West Virginia Senate President Jeff Kessler, D-Marshall, and Vincent de Paul Schmidt, superintendent of Catholic Schools for the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston.

West Virginia first lady Joanne Jaeger Tomblin, left, poses with Our Lady of Peace School Principal C'Ann Reilly on Friday during the school's Family and Friends Day.
As an ode to Tomblin, students dressed as American presidents and first ladies. She returned the flattery, saying the event was "amazing" and the students were well-behaved and displayed pride in their school.
"It's just wonderful to participate in these activities," Tomblin said. "It's wonderful to visit schools around the state to see the very positive things that are happening."
Kessler is no stranger to Our Lady of Peace; he has two sons currently enrolled in the school.
"It's a great school with a tradition of service," Kessler said.
Schmidt said the 50-year mark is a testament to the dedication and hard work of students, teachers, administration and parents throughout the school's history.
"Catholic Schools are known for being a community and this community here at Our Lady of Peace is so in tune with the mission of what the school should be and is all about," he said. "We're very, very lucky to have this school in Marshall County - the leadership in this school and the parents supporting our students to the end product."
Reilly said Tomblin, Kessler and Schmidt added to the excitement surrounding the day.
Reilly, who has been the school's principal for the past 27 years, said she has watched it grow in facilities and enrollment. With 247 children currently enrolled, she noted, the school is just one student shy of doubling its opening-day enrollment.

|Pumpkins, pumpkins and more pumpkins
|Written by Chris Lee
Fall not only brings golden leaves, corn harvest and cooler temperatures, it also brings the sights of Halloween.
This is evident eight miles southeast of Holyoke where "Pumpkins and More" is located.
"Thousands," Jackie Thompson said. She doesn't know the exact number but knows there are a lot of pumpkins on the ground on their four and a half acre pumpkin patch.
Three years ago, Jackie visited a pumpkin patch near Brule, Neb. with some of her family, and the idea was born. She thought it would be fun to run a pumpkin patch. With the help of her husband Toby and daughter Emma, along with numerous other family members, the dream became a reality last year.
In their second year, the Thompson family is enjoying pumpkin season.
Unfortunately, the weather put a big damper on the dream the first year. Colder temperatures mixed in with an early snow and lots of rain, the first year wasn't what they hoped for.
They didn't let it get them down as they planned for a new year and hoped for a better outcome. And so far, the first two weekends have been promising, Jackie noted.
The Thompsons use a corn planter with sunflower plates to plant the pumpkin seeds on a 36 inch bed. "It's kind of like sugar beets," Toby said. He mentioned they go in afterward and fill in holes by hand. Last year the seeds were planted in May. This year, the Thompsons held off until early June to get the seeds in the ground.
One of the major duties is controlling the weeds throughout the summer, Jackie said. There aren't varieties of pumpkins that will stand up to fertilizer so the weeding is done by hand. But before they even get to that point, the pipes need to be in place as they water the pumpkins via flood irrigation.
The Thompsons noted numerous family members have helped them along the way, and MV Equipment also has provided a Gator to help transfer pumpkins from the patch.
Numerous varieties were planted including Howden Biggie ("The big ones," Toby said.), Jack-o-Lantern, Spooky, Magic Lantern, Cinderella Red and White Lumina. Additionally, numerous varieties of gourds and Indian corn were raised.
The Thompsons also grow garden vegetables and sweet corn during the summer.
"Pumpkins and More" opened for business at the end of September. The final day to purchase pumpkins will be the Saturday before Halloween, Oct. 30.
The Thompsons said they have already taken some pumpkins to retailers near Denver. Jackie noted pumpkins they sell here for $6 are selling for triple that amount in the mountains. They hope to slowly expand the business in the coming years. Additions such as providing pumpkins to more area stores, corn mazes and even pumpkin launches are all ideas they hope to incorporate.
Jackie said this Saturday, Oct. 23 they will host a "Carve Your Own Pumpkin" day at the patch. They have also been offering hay rack rides to patch visitors.
"It's family fun," Jackie said. There are multiple signs and even hay bales that make for good photo opportunities.
Numerous signs are placed throughout the pumpkin patch to help visitors
Even with the good turnout so far, many more pumpkins are waiting to be plucked from the patch. "Pumpkins and More" is open Saturday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Sunday from 1:30-5 p.m. and Monday-Friday from 2-6 p.m.
To get to the patch, go five miles south on Highway 385 and turn east on County Road 12 for three miles before turning south on County Road 45. Signs are placed along the way to help.
For questions call Jackie at 580-2707 or Toby at 580-0581.

Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Perhaps a more generous Kobe Bryant is the
answer to the Lakers' problems.
For the second consecutive game, Bryant finished with more assists than shot
attempts and Los Angeles took down the Oklahoma City Thunder, 105-96, at the
Staples Center on Sunday.
Bryant scored 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting and matched Friday's assist total
against Utah with 14 to help the Lakers to their second consecutive victory.
He also tallied nine rebounds.
Five other Lakers scored in double-figures, with Steve Nash scoring 17 and
Paul Gasol pouring in 16 off the bench. Metta World Peace tallied 15 points
and 10 rebounds, while Dwight Howard battled foul trouble most of the contest.
He scored eight points and grabbed 10 boards.
Kevin Durant scored a game-high 35 points and Russell Westbrook contributed 17
points with 13 assists, as the Thunder alternated wins and losses in capping a
six-game road trip. Serge Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins each scored 10 in defeat.

Cameron Coach Faces Drug Charge
April 19, 2013
WHEELING — The Marshall County Drug Task Force arrested a Cameron school employee and another suspect Thursday after they were indicted earlier this week by a federal grand jury on charges of drug......
Dino-I agree its a vicious cycle. If you go to dr. with injury, might do basic x-ray and give muscle relaxer or pain meds , etc. If pain or swelling persists, often physical therapy round before ct scan. Then more pain meds etc before specialist and MRI. This process can take over a year while awaiting pre approvals from insurance company. During which time, often pain meds, plenty of time to get addicted. Seen it too often. Dr is following insurance guidelines. Not defending drs who over prescribe, but do understand that too often their choice is dictated my insurance.

Bloomin, I'm not one to defend insurance companies, but aren't unethical pill pushing doctors a good reason for them to dictate what doctors prescribe? Kind of a vicious circle anyway you look at it.... I do agree with your testing govt employees who deal with other people's lives before welfare recipients.... Also Miss Addison has a 22 year old boyfriend. It would just be a matter of time before she started supplying recent HS graduates or lower. Addicts always need money.

coffee-Dont think it said she was selling to students, but....This is exactly why I am not in favor of testing those on welfare, would much rather test those that have some element of control in our society, judges, drs, nurses, teacher , lawyers, coaches, etc. These people have some control over our future or our childrens future/well being. It is different today. idlietoknow-like your comment. However wasnt a joint she had. Pretty serious. There are many people on prescribed narcotics and taking them as directed and functioning in their jobs very well. They have a tolerance to them. This is what happens when insurance dictates what drs can do. Tests, physical therapy, surgery all takes years to get to after an injury, by then the patient has developed a tolerance to the medications-and often the options are too late. We are an aging population here, no wonder the % is so high. Test everyone. No prescription, no for what their on, no work.

I agree that the EXTRA levy money should be used to drug test all Marshall County Schools employees. These employees are with our children every day and a lot of them are not good role models. I also think the drug task force should go in to the schools unannounced and do a drug bust without principals and staff knowing ahead of time.

We reap what we sow. Teachers and admin. types have been protected for too long. When the talk of under paid, they have to consider the cost of living is less than the high cost states being compared with. There again, the old story about figures. Good idea to use levi funds to test "ALL" BOE Employees.

It's a double edged sword. WV screwed itself when it comes to good teachers. If we drug test them, we lose A LOT of them. Then you have to find replacements but who wants to come teach in WV and get paid beans? If I had to teach some of your kids, I'd light up a joint every now and again too!

Triton, Maybe they'll use the excuse of no teaching jobs opening up for "our" young people or low teaching salaries, also. My guess is once an "addict" is arrested, they give up their source pretty quickly......I'm guessing Renzella can't wait for the next couple months to get over with.

Illegal drug trade is a multi-billion dollar business in the US. We are world leaders in illegal drug use and we spend more tax dollars to "combat" the illegal drug trade than any other country, interestingly!!!
For some reason we have this idea that Cheech-n-Chong will be on the street corner selling drugs! The truth is that drug pushers and users are amongst you every day....

Let me amend something, Allison is a substitute teacher meaning that she does sometimes teach and holds a certificate, which ironically means that she would have priority over a non teaching coach for that position. It appears that she is a more a coach than actually seeking sub time in the classroom. Wonder how long it will be before we are told that she hurt her back and became addicted by someone else's doing and is the victim in this matter. Seems like that comes up when we are shocked to learn that someone other than a dreg is dealing drugs.

There is an ongoing dispute about whether coaches should have to be teachers. Its true that many non teachers have shown to be good coaches but the fact is that teachers have a great deal of training (ongoing)in how to deal with children, to see problems and to use coaching as a teaeching moment. When you have nonteachers filing coaching positions the school lacks a certain amount of control and the kids are being "taught" by someone who may have views that are negative to healthy development. Allison is not a teacher, she is a nonfaculty coach, who played there and was a great player. But clearly had a lot of problems. More difficult to hide ****** addiction if you are on the faculty, there everyday, undergoing evaluations and professional interviews with administrators. This girl shows up after school, works with kids and then is gone, as are many non teaching coaches. Sports are part of school, part of education thats why people want trained educators in those positio

ABUJA (Reuters) – Nigerian police offered a 50 million naira ($300,000) reward on Wednesday to anyone who can give credible information leading to the rescue of more than 200 schoolgirls abducted by Islamist rebels.
Last month's mass kidnapping by militant group Boko Haram in the remote northeastern village of Chibok triggered an international outcry and protests in Nigeria, piling pressure on the government to get the girls back.
President Barack Obama says the immediate priority is finding nearly 300 teenage girls who were kidnapped from their school in Nigeria three weeks ago.
But Obama says the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram must also be dealt with.
The brazen April 15 abduction has sparked international outrage.
And Obama says in an interview with NBC's "Today" that he's glad the Nigerian government is accepting help from U.S. military and law enforcement advisers.
The White House says U.S. armed forces are not being sent.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Risky behavior among teenagers is on the decline in New Mexico.
That's according to a new survey conducted jointly by the New Mexico Department of Health and the New Mexico Public Education Department.
According to the 2013 New Mexico Youth Risk and Resiliency Survey, binge drinking and cigarette smoking have fallen by half in the last 10 years, and fewer teens are getting in physical fights.
The survey says only 17 percent of high school students binge drink, and only 14 percent report having had a cigarette in the last 30 days.
Drug use, on the other, had has stayed steady over the past few years, although the use of painkillers to get high has fallen from 14 percent in 2009 to 8 percent last year.

One of my favorite Broadway shows has always been "Cabaret," starring Liza Minnelli and Joel Grey. One of the memorable songs is "Money," which glorifies what we can do just by having and spending a lot of money ("Money makes the world go around …"). In the world outside politics, that's very true, but in the world of politics, having money is no longer a guarantee of anything.

FASHION FIX: Galina Voskoboeva in ellesse
So she got blitzed by Victoria Azarenka. Who hasn't been this week?
A tired Galina Voskoboeva was dismantled by the Belarussian bomber 6-1, 6-2 in the quarterfinals of the Rogers Cup today. The 26-year old from Kazakhstan had a stellar week, though, upending the likes of Marion Bartoli, Flavia Pennetta and Maria Sharapova, someone she admits "cheering for" in the past (I can see Shrieka's reaction to that quote already, "And??"). Not bad for a qualifier ranked outside the Top 100.
She also looked pretty good working this ultra-fem white ellesse tank dress with black piping, a Peter Pan collar and frilly skirt. It certainly borders on being more of a cocktail number than something for the tennis court but it's the Italian brand's way. Besides, they've done a lot worse.
Speaking of worse, we should all be REALLY thankful Nadia Petrova didn't get a hold of this one. Double phew.

I wish the collar had been sewn down so that it didn't flop all over the place like it did. Also, the skirt looks better in that photo than it did when I watched her play Sharapova. I'm not crazy about the skirt but overall, I'd say I like the dress.ReplyDelete
@ Sara: It could be that rare case where a tennis dress actually would be better worn off-court than on, no? They've had some horrific designs recently (Hi Nads) but this one looks pretty good.ReplyDelete

There are many examples big and small where Minot has come back from the 2011 flood even better or stronger than before. Count among them the Domestic Violence Crisis Cente....
Good for the DVCC and not a moment too soon, considering the rabid growth in right wing women hating, beating, and raping republicans in our midst. Too bad the prosecutors only prosecute 40% of the reported rapes.

Yesterday (Saturday, May 4), Ms. Lauryn Hill released "Neurotic Society (Cumpulsory Mix)." Along with the track, Ms. Hill released a statement, explaining that she was "required" to release the song "immediately."
"Here is a link to a piece that I was 'required' to release immediately, by virtue of the impending legal deadline," she wrote on her Tumblr page. "I love being able to reach people directly, but in an ideal scenario, I would not have to rush the release of new music… but the message is still there."
Lauryn Hill's legal deadline refers to tax problems she has been facing. As reported in late April, Hill was given two weeks to repay tax debt. Her new deadline became May 6.
Hill's displeasure with the circumstances surrounding this song's release also had to do with the death of Chris "Mac Daddy" Kelly.
"In light of Wednesday's tragic loss (of former label mate Chris Kelly). I am even more pressed to YELL this to a multitude that may not understand the cost of allowing today's unhealthy paradigms to remain unchecked!"
Since the news about her tax woes originally broke, Hill signed a deal with Sony to release new music. "Yes, I have recently entered into an agreement with Sony Worldwide Entertainment, to launch a new label, on which my new music will be released," she said in a statement in late April. "And yes, I am working on new music."

Real life
Real life is a phrase used to distinguish actual events, people, and activities from fictional worlds or characters, or from interactions on the Internet.
Distinct from the Internet[edit]
On the Internet, "real life" refers to life offline. Online, the acronym "IRL" stands for "in real life", with the meaning "not on the Internet".[1] For example, while Internet users may speak of having "met" someone that they have contacted via online chat or in an online gaming context, to say that they met someone "in real life" is to say that they literally encountered them in a common physical location. Some, arguing that the Internet is part of real life, prefer to use AFK (such as the documentary TPB AFK).
Some sociologists engaged in the study of the Internet have predicted that someday, a distinction between online and real-life worlds may seem "quaint", noting that certain types of online activity, such as sexual intrigues, have already made a full transition to complete legitimacy and "reality".[2]
Related terminology[edit]
The abbreviation "RL" stands for "real life" and "IRL" for "in real life." For example, one can speak of "meeting IRL" (LMIRL) someone whom one has met online. It may also be used to express an inability to use the Internet for a time due to "RL problems." Some Internet users use the idioms "face time", "meatspace" or "meat world", which contrast with the term "cyberspace".[3][4] "Meatspace" has appeared in the Financial Times[5] and in science fiction literature.[6] Some early uses of the term include a post to the Usenet newsgroup austin.public-net in 1993[7] and an article in The Seattle Times about John Perry Barlow in 1995.[8] The term entered the Oxford English Dictionary in 2000.[9]
Distinct from fiction[edit]
When used to distinguish from fictional worlds or universes against the consensus reality of the reader, the term has a long history:
Authors, as a rule, attempt to select and portray types rarely met with in their entirety, but these types are nevertheless more real than real life itself.
Similarly, the phrase can be used to distinguish an actor from a character, e.g. "In real life, he has a British accent" or "In real life, he lives in Los Angeles."
There is a related but slightly distinct usage among role-players and historical reenactors, to distinguish the fantasy or historical context from the actual world and the role-player or reenactor from the character, e.g. "What do you do in real life?" or "Where do you live in real life?"
Other uses[edit]
The phrase is also used to distinguish academic life from work in other sectors, in a manner similar to the term "real world". A person with experience in "real life" or the "real world" has experience beyond book learning. It may also be used, often pejoratively, to distinguish other insular subcultures, work environments, or lifestyles from more traditional social and professional activities. The terms "real life" and "the real world" may also be used to describe adulthood and the adult world as distinct from childhood and adolescence.

General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group are projected to make required contributions totaling $14.92 billion to their pension plans by 2014 to comply with federal funding requirements, according to a Government Accountability Office report.
Under the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and the temporary funding relief of the Worker, Retiree and Employer Recovery Act of 2008, GM would have to contribute $5.9 billion in 2013 and $6.4 billion in 2014, while Chrysler would have to make contributions of $400 million this year, $40 million in 2012, $930 million in 2013 and $1.25 billion in 2014, the report said.
The "future viability of the companies and their pension plans is unclear," stated the report, which was released Tuesday, April 6.
GM had $85.9 billion in pension assets and Chrysler had $20.4 billion, both as of September 30, according to Pensions & Investments, a sister publication of Workforce Management.
Treasury Department officials "expect both GM and Chrysler to return to profitability," the report said. "If this is the case, and the companies are able to make the required contributions to their pension plans as they become due, then Treasury's multiple roles [as an owner and regulator] are less likely to result in any perceived conflicts.
However, if the funding of any of GM's or Chrysler's defined-benefit plans declines below [statutory required] funding levels, the company may request a waiver" from the IRS "to reduce its required contributions to its plans over an extended period."
In addition, "automaker downsizing and the credit market crisis have created significant stress for [auto] suppliers and their pensions," including in 2009 "a rise in the number of supplier bankruptcies, liquidations and pension plan terminations."
In July, Delphi Corp. of Troy, Michigan, terminated its pension plans; as a result, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. estimates it will have to finance about $6.2 billion of Delphi's pension funding shortfall, the report said.
In January 2009, the PBGC estimated that unfunded pension liabilities across the auto sector totaled $77 billion, "with the agency's exposure for potential losses due to unfunded benefits about $42 billion, leaving plan participants to bear the potential loss of the $35 billion difference through reduced benefits."
Because of the funding risk, the GAO recommends Treasury should report publicly not only on the status of its auto investments but also on the status of the automakers' pensions. But in a response contained in the report, Herbert M. Allison Jr., assistant secretary for financial stability in the Treasury, wrote, "It would be inappropriate for Treasury in our capacity as a shareholder to separately report on the pension assets and liabilities under GM and Chrysler pension plans."
Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne expects the company "to break even this year," said Chrysler spokesman Mike Palese, who hadn't seen the GAO report and had no comment about it.
GM couldn't be reached for comment.

Filling Holes & Fixing Mirrors - A Shave And A HaircutWritten by on April 11, 2012
Like many old trucks out there, my '68 came with all the extra add-ons and "upgrades" that the previous owners deemed necessary at some time or another. Eyelet bolts installed along each bedside, "custom" mudflaps behind each tire, long-haul fuel tanks behind the cab, a 200-pound stepper bumper out back, and the two things we're gonna get rid of this month, those bitchin' oversized side mirrors. They're not exactly svelte when it comes to style; the chrome and glass have seen better days, and they don't match the style that we're going for with the build.
The solution? Replace those big ugly monsters with a pair of round, stock mirrors from Brothers Trucks. Made from stainless steel and polished to a show finish, they look great right outta the box and will be way easier to maintain than a pair of chrome numbers.
But it's a bit more involved than simply swapping out one for the other. Since the mounting bolt patterns are nowhere near the same, the existing holes in the doors will need to be filled and ground smooth before the new mirrors can be installed. The only bummer with doing this process is that if you didn't plan on painting the truck anytime soon, you're going to have to live with a couple off-colored sections on both doors, but hey, I didn't say it would be easy!
I decided that I could live with a couple of multi-colored doors for a while in exchange for getting rid of those tacky mirrors, so off they came and into the garbage they went before I filled the holes and mounted the new mirrors. I think the end result speaks for itself and it makes me happy when I can bring things back to stock spec in an afternoon … as long as it looks good! CCT

Not only are there mounting holes on the doors from the existing mirrors, but it appears that they weren't the only mirrors to have been mounted on the truck over the years. I've learned with old trucks over the years to simply expect the worst.The first step in filling the existing holes is to sand the surrounding area down to bare metal around every hole that is to be filled. This allows for a clean weld without paint or body filler contaminating the weld. I also found a few additional holes on the door that need to be filled.Using a Lincoln Power MIG 140, I filled the smaller holes first. These are fairly easy as the wire quickly fills the void without getting the metal around the hole too hot.When it comes to filling the larger holes however, things get a little bit tricky. That's where tools like a magnetic copper backer plate or curved copper Welder's Helper can come in handy by backing the weld so that the hole can be filled.Here you can see the copper plate behind the panel to be welded. the plate works to support the backside of the weld, preventing it from falling out or burning through the sheetmetal.With the smaller holes filled, you can see the progress being made on the larger holes. Notice that only a small portion of the top two holes have been welded up. By working slowly and alternating your position, it's possible to fill a fairly large void by keeping the amount of heat down to a minimum.There are a number of grinders and sanders on the market that work great for knocking down welds. The different diameter sanding discs make getting into tight spots or working large areas easy.A light strike from a ball-peen hammer will recess the hole slightly lower than the surface of the panel, if need be.
Once the welds are ground down, a quick coat of "almost as red as the rest of the truck" paint will keep the area from rusting until we get around to painting the entire truck. It beats having grey primer patches all over the doors!To mount the stock mirrors, a backing plate that was drilled and tapped from the factory was used on both sides. Since our truck didn't come with stock mirrors, I decided to fabricate a pair of plates using 3⁄16-inch aluminum. I traced the pattern onto the aluminum, then cut it out, drilled and tapped the holes, and we're ready to rock.After doing some investigating on the interweb, I found some quick dimensions for where to mount the mirrors on either door. First I measured the distance from the edge of the door and marked that. Then I transferred the bolt pattern to the door using the gasket as a template.Once I drilled the holes, I removed the door panels to access the inner doors and inserted the aluminum backing plates. It was a little tricky holding everything in place with only two hands, but with a little patience, I was able to get both mirrors bolted in place and looking good.

MAMARONECK, N.Y. (AP) — A New York rabbi, arrested for flashing a badge and ordering a woman driver to pull over, says he was angered by her slow driving.
Now other drivers have come forward to allege that the rabbi has been doing the same thing for months. Investigations are under way in three incidents since April.
Rabbi Alfredo Borodowski of White Plains was charged with impersonating a police officer in June. The complaint says he pulled his car alongside a woman's in Mamaroneck, displayed a silver badge and shouted, "Police! Police! Pull over!"
The rabbi has denied claiming to be an officer. Police say he told them he hates it when people drive too slowly.
His lawyer acknowledges his "manic" behavior but says he's suffering from bipolar disorder.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA9) -- The U.S. Senate today approved the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act by a vote of 73 to 26, according to a press release by the U.S. Senate Committee on Appropriations.
This bill is a step towards averting a government shutdown as it funds the government through September 30, 2013, which is the end of the fiscal year.
"I am so proud the Senate bill protects national security while meeting compelling human needs. It makes investments in human infrastructure like early childhood education. And it creates jobs today and jobs tomorrow by supporting research and innovation. I thank my Vice Chairman, Senator Shelby, for his support and hard work. I look forward to swift action in the House so we can focus on passing a budget, ending sequestration, and getting back to regular order." said Chairwoman Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.)
"The original House CR contained two full bills, for Defense and for Military Construction and Veterans Affairs. The Senate bill expands on the House bill, adding three domestic bills, including: Agriculture; Commerce, Justice, Science; and Homeland Security. In addition, the Senate added a number of critical provisions, to enable the government to meet its mission-critical obligations. The bill now returns to the House for its consideration," according to the press release.

Classic Trucks
Trucks are American as apple pie. Debuting in 1925 as a version of the Model T, the first American "pickup" sold 34,000 units and sales continued to climb every year. Today the Ford F Series holds the American record for model units sold of any vehicle. Dodge, International, and Chevy also have had a large role in the evolution of the American pick up truck.

Mind Your Manners: Tipping guidelines for service customers
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Dear Pam, With the holidays quickly approaching, I would like to reward those who have provided continuous services to me throughout the year, such as my beautician, the paperboy and the gentleman who mows my lawn. However, due to the sluggish economy, my pocketbook is feeling squeezed. I don't want to appear stingy. What is an appropriate amount that should be given? Would you please provide guidelines not only for holiday tipping, but for everyday occurrences such as cabs, bellmen, etc.? -- Thank you, Dedicated Reader Dear Reader: Tipping can be confusing, but it is important. It is a way of acknowledging someone who has provided good or personalized service, as well as helping to maintain those relationships. Below is a guide to help you make an educated guess as to the amount to tip. There are no rules to tipping. It's not mandatory and will vary depending upon the size of your pocketbook, your geographic region, etc. You may want to increase the amount for exceptional service or reduce the amount if you experienced the opposite. Add a personal touch with a nice thank-you note with your tip; it does not have to be long -- two to three sentences are fine. A sincere note saying how much you appreciate his or her service can mean more than money. If you can't afford a tip, consider a small gift or perhaps baked goodies. And consider writing the person's boss to say how pleased you have been with their service. Beauticians: Some recommend doubling your usual tip (if a longtime customer). Others suggest anywhere from $25 and up. Instead of (or in addition to) cash, a gift or gift certificate is also appropriate. Paper delivery person: $10 to $25. Yard person: $20 to $50. Household helpers such as those who provide cleaning services: $50 or the amount equal to one day to one week's pay. Occasional baby sitter: one night's pay and/or a gift; daily baby sitter: two days' pay or a gift from you and an additional gift and/or thank-you note from the children; day-care provider: $20 and small gift from your child. Nanny: one week's to one month's pay and/or a gift, and a gift and/or a thank-you note from the children. Manicurist: $15 to $20. For those who work for you once a week: one-half day's to one day's pay. For those who work for you five days per week: one week's pay. Laundry delivery: $10 to $20. Live-in or personal care givers: one week's to one month's pay. Barber: cost of one haircut. Package delivery person: Check with the company first. Some do not allow tips. However, some employers allow employees to accept small gifts in the $20 to $25 range. If you live in a residential building: Superintendent: $50 (or more depending on the region) for those who live in the building and less for those who live offsite. Doorman: $35 to $50 (or more depending on the region and service provided). Handymen: $25 to $40. Other considerations:
Cash is usually preferred.
If giving food, consider the recipient's dietary or religious restrictions as well as allergies they may have.
If giving a gift card, make sure that it is relevant to the recipient's taste and interests.
Following are customary standard tips for those who provide a one-time or occasional service:
Taxi driver: 5 percent of the total fare.
Dog groomer: 15 percent of the total bill. No less than $2 per animal.
Bartender: 10 to 15 percent of the drink bill or $1 per cocktail if you pay with each beverage.
Wine stewards: 15 to 20 percent of the total wine purchase.
Shampoo technician: $1 to $2.
Food server: 15 to 20 percent of the bill (before coupons or gift certificates are subtracted). Remember that many waiters and waitresses depend on tips for their livelihood. If you have been at your table long after your meal is finished, and taken time when the table may have been used again (an opportunity for the server to make an additional tip), you may want to consider tipping more.
Self-service buffet: nothing, unless your server delivers and keeps drinks refilled. In that case, a tip of 5 to 10 percent of the total bill is customary.
Tips while traveling:
Doorman who hails a cab: $1 to $2. If he helps get your bags out of the car or cab, $1 per bag.
Bellman: $1 to $2 per bag.
Parking valet: $1 to $3.
Concierge who goes beyond his duty, such as getting reservations for you at a restaurant that has a six-month waiting list, $15 to $20. It is not necessary to tip the concierge who provides a small service such as giving directions.
Hotel maid: $3 to $5 per day.
Skycap: $2 per bag (more if your bags are very heavy).
Remember, this information is just a guide and was obtained from several sources. The amount you choose to give depends on how pleased you are with the service as well as your relationship to the person providing the service.
You may want to consider tipping more frequently than once a year. According to Mike Brennen, author of "Tipping for Success," many miss the boat by waiting to tip just once a year. He suggests taking the opportunity during an off month, such as June or July, to bring a small gift to someone who provides you year-round service. He believes this helps to set you apart. You don't have to spend a lot of money just to send the message that they provide good service. Again, write a nice thank-you note in addition to providing a tip.

Alex Rodriguez
Dominican-American baseball player Alex 'A-Rod' Rodriguez was born on July 27, 1975, in Manhattan, New York. The New York Yankee is most known for a play he was involved on during game 6 of the 2004 ALCS. When A-Rod hit a slow ground ball back to the pitcher's mound where Red Sox pitcher Bronson Arroyo fielded the ball and tried to tag A-Rod, who girlishly slapped the ball out of Arroyo's hand and thought he had done nothing wrong. He was ruled out and his behavior and conduct are perceived as very un-professional and inspired much disdain from Red Sox fans and baseball fans alike.

Lesser-Known Defined Contribution Providers Tops in Service Study
Few defined contribution service providers are able to provide service and support in addition to brand recognition, according to a study from Cogent Research.
Cogent asked defined contribution plan executives with which providers they were most familiar and which they would want based on the knowledge of their service and support, according to Christy White, a principal at Cogent Research.
"Very few brands were able to succeed at both things simultaneously," White said. While brands like Fidelity Investments, Charles Schwab and Vanguard Group topped the list as recognized leaders in the defined contribution industry, smaller firms were better able to distinguish their brands on service and support. The top three providers cited for service and support were Ascensus, Milliman and Affiliated Computer Services.
Providing strong service and support "comes more easily for a niche player that's not trying to be all things to all people," according to White. "The challenge that plays up against is they're not well known."
"It is a great opportunity for them to capture [market] share if they can get their message out in the right places," White said.
The Cogent Research Retirement Planscape 2011 Study is based on a survey of 1,600 DC plan sponsors on 13 attributes identified as significant drivers in choosing a plan provider, including service and support, and brand recognition.

First United Methodist Church Pastor Paul Sung found it a little ironic he landed in Holyoke nearly 100 years after a Methodist pastor from Brandon, Neb. and Venango, Neb., traveled to Korea as a missionary.
Sung grew up in Korea and began serving as the minister at First United Methodist Church in Holyoke in July after moving from Colorado Springs where he had spent the last six years.
Someone he knows from Washington, D.C. called him after he moved to Holyoke and told him about the missionary, who he believes was Steven Beck, from nearly 100 years ago. He noticed Sung had moved to Holyoke and that Venango wasn't too far from there on the map.
Although he has been unable to find out any more information on the pastor, he is still searching. It is something he finds very interesting.
Pastor shares his vision
Sung has been to many different countries and cities within the last 10 years, spreading God's word. Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia and Taiwan are just a few.
He has been very involved and believes in transformation, economic and social development.
Human factors, human development and human motivations are all part of this view Sung has.
In those different countries, Sung lived and worked in the lower income, and areas of poverty.
Sung said he traveled through an Indian reservation of Sioux Indians in 1980 where he worked with human development.
He then went to Mississippi. He explained how there were two churches on the same street right across from each other. One was predominantly African American while the other was Caucasian. He found it interesting how two very different groups of people could worship so close to one another.
The Elk River Story in Minnesota is something Sung is very passionate about. The story is about how the entire town of Elk River near St. Paul, Minn. came together. Pastors and marketplace leaders all came together to pray for the town and everything in it. It is Sung's view to see something similar in Holyoke.
Sung said he holds noon prayer meetings to help pray for all the businesses, schools and everyone in Holyoke. He, along with pastors of other denominations, come together for these prayer meetings.
Billy Graham is another name that comes to Sung's mind. "He preaches the gospel to all of the citizens of the state and world," Sung said. Sung translated Graham's message into the Korean language so he could share it with people of his home country.
Sung came to the United States in 1976 to study. Before spending six years in Colorado Springs, he was on the East Coast in New Jersey.
