David Byrne Concert Tickets
David Byrne Concert Schedule. Talkin' Transubstantiation!
It's time to don the big suit and dance yourself into dreamstate on the David Byrne concert tour 2008. For those who don't know or realize, David Byrne literally set the bar for late-70s New Wave music. The Talking Heads frontman who delighted and amazed both live and in the studio is now on tour again! Check out the David Byrne tour schedule here and buy David Byrne tickets to the David Byrne's 2008 tour. Byrne exploded on the music scene back in the mid-70s when he dropped out of the Rhode island School of Design to form Talking Heads with Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth. The addition of Jerry Harrison resulted in one of New Wave's most respected outfits. David Byrne quickly asserted himself as the voice of Talking Heads. His trademark blend of art and science cast its strange coolgeek tendrils into an unsuspecting musical world. Byrne sent America silly with admiration and inspiration. Perhaps the crowning glory for David Byrne was his performances during Talking Heads' Speaking in Tongues tour. The tour was the subject of a mid-80s live music documentary, Stop Making Sense, that blew the world away. The David Byrne concert schedule will capture the essence of that magic time, so be sure to secure your tickets to the most creative concert you're likely to see in a long time.
David Byrne began his life in Dumbarton, Scotland, before moving to Hamilton, Ontario as a toddler. Subsequent moves to Maryland and Rhode Island saw the David Byrne mindset congeal and begin to throw off world-class creations. David Byrne concert tours were always bound to happen; the artistic trendy from nowhere in particular was simply brimming with ideas and energy. From the early, angry New Wave landscapes to the later World Music, Byrne remained several years ahead of his peers in the music biz. There were other artists out there, such as David Bowie, Magazine and the Violent Femmes, but it was Byrne who somehow managed a more consistent and on-theme persona that was to endure long after the dissolution of Talking Heads and the 80s. David Byrne tickets will give you everything; sound quality, variance, top musicianship - his band are simply the best - as well as a trip down memory lane.
Take a good look at the David Byrne tour dates and buy David Byrne seats at a venue of your choice. If you're ready to be hit by a colorful tidal wave of rhythmic, aural protoplasm, the most interesting musical odyssey of recent decades, then David Byrne concert tickets are for you!

2012 NSRA Street Rod Nationals Plus In Louisville - In A Family WayWritten by on February 20, 2013 Cool ways to get the whole gang to the Nats
Blowin' down the boulevard in a roadster is truly a blast, but for long trips and hauling family and friends to a mega-event like the Street Rod Nationals there's nothing quite like the wide-open spaces of a big, comfy cruiser. Here's a look at some of the cool high-capacity cruisers from the 2012 NSRA Street Rod Nationals.

24-bit Digital USB Audio/MIDI Interface
A.You can solve this problem by installing the Unitor series drive (version 1.5) from the Emagic website.
The symptom of this problem is that you will see a message saying, "MIDI settings are empty" in the [MIDI Devices] tab in which the device name is usually shown in the Mac OS X Audio MIDI settings window. (This problem does not occur when each device is started up alone.) Roland has confirmed this problem with the following computer models.
Power Mac G4 1 GHz single processor (Mirrored Driver)
This problem will occur when the MIDI Server of the operating system crashes for some reason with the combination of the amt-8 or unitor-8, the Roland USB MIDI Driver, and Mac OS X, resulting in the system failing and not recognizing the MIDI device.
However, the device will be recognized correctly after you use the following procedure.
Power-on your Roland USB MIDI device.
- Open the Audio MIDI Settings window, and click the [MIDI Devices] tab.
- (With the Audio MIDI Settings window left open) power-on the amt-8 or unitor-8.
- In the Audio MIDI Settings window, both the Roland USB MIDI device and the amt-8 or unitor-8 will be detected.
- With the Audio MIDI Settings window left open, start up your sequencer software.

Despite the fact that the new delivery schedule will save approximately $2 billion a year, it has drawn criticism from postal unions and congressional lawmakers who believe the USPS needs their approval before changing its schedule.

Hey Al, how about giving up your pension. Elected government service is supposed to be a selfless act, so give up your pension and all of your extra benefits to help lower the debt

Soccer faces epic fight against match-fixing
ZURICH Soccer is falling under a cloud of suspicion as never before, sullied by a multibillion-dollar web of match-fixing that is corrupting increasingly larger parts of the world's most popular sport.
Internet betting, emboldened criminal gangs and even the economic downturn have created conditions that make soccer - or football, as the sport is called around the world - a lucrative target.
Known as "the beautiful game" for its grace, athleticism and traditions of fair play, soccer is under threat of becoming a dirty game.
"Football is in a disastrous state," said Chris Eaton, director of sport integrity at the International Centre for Sport Security. "Fixing of matches for criminal gambling fraud purposes is absolutely endemic worldwide ... arrogantly happening daily."
EDITOR'S NOTE: This story is part of a months-long, multiformat AP examination of how organized crime is corrupting soccer through match-fixing, running over four days this week.
At least 50 nations in 2012 had match-fixing investigations - almost a quarter of the 209 members of FIFA, soccer's governing body - involving hundreds of people.
Europol, the European Union's police body, announced last week that it had found 680 "suspicious" games worldwide since 2008, including 380 in Europe.
Experts interviewed by The Associated Press believe that figure may be low. Sportradar, a company in London that monitors global sports betting, estimates that about 300 soccer games a year in Europe alone could be rigged.
"We do not detect it better," Eaton said in an interview with the AP. "There's just more to detect."
Globalization has propelled the fortunes of popular soccer teams like Manchester United and showered millions in TV revenue on clubs that get into tournaments like Europe's Champions League.
Criminals have realized that it can be vastly easier to shift gambling profits across borders than it is to move contraband.
"These are real criminals - Italian mafia, Chinese gangs, Russian mafia," said Sylvia Schenk, a sports expert with corruption watchdog Transparency International.
Ralf Mutschke, FIFA's security chief, admits that soccer officials had underestimated the scope of match-fixing. He told the AP that "realistically, there is no way" FIFA can tackle organized crime by itself, saying it needs more help from national law enforcement agencies.
The growing threat has prompted the European Union's 27 nations to unite against match-fixing.
"The scale is such that no country can deal with the problem on its own," said EU Sport Commissioner Androulla Vassiliou.
Gambling on sports generates hundreds of billions of dollars a year, and up to 90 percent of that is bet on soccer, Interpol chief Ronald Noble told the AP in an interview. Eaton, the former FIFA expert, has cited an estimated $500 billion a year.
The total amount of money generated by sports betting would equal the gross domestic product of Switzerland, ranked 19th in the world.
Match-fixing - where the outcome of a game is determined in advance - is used by gambling rings to make money off bets they know they will win. Matches also are rigged to propel a team into a higher-ranking division where it can earn more revenue.
FIFA has estimated that organized crime takes in as much as $15 billion a year by fixing matches. In Italy alone, a recent rigging scandal is estimated to have produced $2.6 billion for the Camorra and the Mafia crime syndicates, Eaton said.
Soccer officials are well aware that repeated match-fixing will undermine the integrity of their sport, driving away sponsors and reducing the billion-dollar value of lucrative TV contracts.
FIFA earned $2.4 billion in broadcast sales linked to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and already has agreed to $2.3 billion in deals tied to the 2018 World Cup in Russia. The U.K.'s Premier League earned $2.8 billion in broadcast rights for Britain alone in its last multiyear contract. Membership in Europe's Champions League is worth nearly $60 million a year to each team, according to a lawsuit filed by the Turkish club Fenerbahce.

State stops oil and gas wastewater well activity after earthquakes
- published_in
- Today's News
The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission stopped wastewater injection activity in the well east of the Greeley-Weld County Airport operated by High Sierra Water Services this week. A representative of a marketing firm working for High Sierra did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
High Sierra agreed to a 20-day halt to wastewater injection as a cautionary step as the state gathers more information following two earthquakes in the Greeley area, according to the state oil commission. The move comes as University of Colorado scientists reported a 2.6-magnitude tremor Monday, June 23. A 3.4 magnitude earthquake shook Greeley May 31.
"In light of the findings of CU's team, we think it's important we review additional data, bring in additional expertise and closely review the history of injection at this site in order to more fully understand any potential link to seismicity and use of this disposal well,´ said state oil commission director Matt Lepore in a statement.
The state agency will work with the CU team as well as the U.S. Geological Survey and Colorado Geological Survey to study seismic activity in the area as well as examine injection rates, pressures and volumes of the High Sierra well.
The state oil commission regulates underground injection wells under authority from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Staff members analyze geologic factors in the wells before issuing permits.
The examination of the High Sierra well comes as Colorado joins a 10-state working group looking at earthquakes caused by disposal of wastewater from hydraulic fracturing into wells thousands of feet underground.
Colorado officials plan to work with the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission and the Groundwater Protection Council, both based in Oklahoma City, to study links between human-caused earthquakes and deep-well wastewater disposal. Read more.

ATLANTA -- Michael Haynes is diligently training for his first AJC Peachtree Road Race. In addition to jogging in his Riverdale neighborhood, he has a routine of lifting weights and cross training.
He planned to run the 10k last year. Instead he watched on TV, from his hospital room.
"I had come to find out that fluid was building up on my lungs because my heart wasn't beating strong enough," Haynes said.
In fact, Michael's condition was dire.
"It felt like a gorilla was on my back," he said.
He needed a new heart.
Admitted Valentine's Day 2011, with a broken heart, he passed the time with family and friends and by putting together puzzles. Doctors, nurses and patients signed the boards wishing him well.
Then, July 2 of last year, Michael's doctor had the news he had been praying for: "He said, 'I'm 99% sure I've got a heart for you' and he said, 'I'm going to get it right now'," Haynes explained. "All of the emotions. It's like wow. This day has come."
Post-surgery, the father of three was a changed man - living in the moment.
"I sat outside and listened just listened to the birds chirp, the leaves crumble, the wind just blowing, it was amazing," he said. "It was almost like being reborn."
But his 'rebirth' came with haunting questions about the man who gave him this second chance.
"Who is this person? Who is this angel? His family?" Haynes wondered.
He's now in touch with the mother of the 43-year-old man whose heart keeps him alive. They exchange letters and holiday cards:
"I thank God she and his family were willing to donate his organs," Michael's mother Alice Haynes said. "I think it's great Michael is staying in contact with her."
Michael's focus is now on giving back:
"Since this happened to me, I'm a donor," Haynes explained.
His focus is also on July 4, 2012.
"I vowed when I came out of my sedation, I was going to do the Peachtree Road Race," he said.
Now 44 years old, Michael will be running in memory of the man who lost his life, then saved Michael's.
"It's going to be emotional," he said. "Whew. It's emotional now."
He's also overwhelmed by gratitude for his medical team at Emory.
"What can I say about them? They're something God made," Haynes said while fighting back tears.
Michael promises to follow his nurse's advice for the course that's challenging, even for top athletes. She advised him to walk if he gets tired while running from Buckhead to Midtown Atlanta.
"Hey, I gotta new life," Haynes said. "Let's go do it. Let's go get it done."

Hi All,
I am trying to program that will the time off information for the various employees in our company in iCalendar format, so that we can set this up as an external calendar, imported into our zimbra calendars.
I can get the holidays and time off events showing using VEVENT type tags but the free busy information is not displaying correctly, it always shows myself as being busy for everyone elses time off, and the other users are not shown as being busy.
Also for the holidays are country specific so they need to show busy for only those employees that it applies to.
I tried using VJOURNAL for the events but then they don't show up at all.
Does anyone have an example or know of a good reference as how to do what I am trying?

* Backyard Fun: Forts
With the fall weather upon us and fewer bugs (hooray!) the girls have been spending
A LOT of time in our backyard building very elaborate forts together and with their friends.
This one was my favorite.
I love the way they added the silk scarves (prayer flag style)
to the umbrella and use the slide as the door.
They even added beds, a sink, and a sled...because you never know when you'll need one.
How do your little ones take advantage of cooler fall temperatures?

KIDWELL - A new start. That is what fifth-year Tyler Consolidated boys' basketball coach J.C. Kimble is looking for from a Silver Knights team that is loaded with seniors and juniors, have plenty of returning talent, but is also coming off a 1-21 campaign in 2011-12.
Kimble's initial four seasons are something he might want to put behind him, winning just 16 of 87 games, including last year's one-victory campaign.
Senior Darren Heintzman leads the way as a returning starter who scored 12 points a night and pulled down seven rebounds and also is the tallest member of the starting five at 6-foot-2. Juniors Dylan Romine (6-1) and Dylan Reynolds (5-11) are back as starters while senior Scott Sole (5-7) and junior Cole Kocher (5-10) both had stints in the starting lineup a season ago.
Romine is a do-it-all, with returning averages of 12 points, four rebounds, two assists and a steal a night while Reynolds dropped in nearly six points an outing as a sophomore.
The bench is also loaded with seniors and juniors, led by Alex Doak (6-1), Drew Casey (6-2), Tim Edwards (6-4), Christian Ice (5-11, Isaiah Casenelli (6-2) and Randy Eastham (6-4) along with juniors Swen Schiedamantel (6-1) and Chase Cornell (5-10).
While Tyler Consolidated will be experiencing Class A for the first time, the schedule still includes plenty of Class AA competition along with some pretty good small school contests as well.
"We played a lot of juniors and sophomores last year, which leads us to be older with a little more experience this season," Kimble said. "But the biggest thing is that we just need to put last year behind us and focus on what lies ahead. We have to go out and take care of our business and get things done."
"There is no question that last year is over and we are ready to move forward.
"I kind of like the idea of moving down to Class A, even though I know that some schools are not as happy about moving down. Personally, I am alright with it, mainly because of the numbers game. We were one of the smallest Class AA schools in the state, now we are the fifth biggest Class A team.
''Of course we still play some bigger schools, which will only get us ready for tournament time.''

I really like the looks of my Precious. Thats one of the most important reasons why I bought her. But....I don´t like the tail light. It looks like a red bread box.The Classic, however, has a nice rounded exemplar and that black carrier it is mounted on is more similar to the ancient shape. At my dealders threre are a couple of originals lying about that had to yield to more sophisticated luminaires. How is it fixed on the mudguard? The Electra original has only one big nut. Maybe somebody has some pictures, that would facillitate the comparison. Thanks in advance!
If I'm not mistaken, you've got an older bike with that red brick across the top. Inside the birdhouse you can remove that light and bolt on a round trailer light available for $5-10 at any auto store. Some people here on the board have done it and it looks good. Or get fancy and go for a Model A Ford tail light.I didn't like the brikc tail light either and planned for that to be my first mod. Luckily, my C5 already had the round light. I think the round light matches the look of the bike much better.Scott
Hey Sub. If yopu still have the C-5 take off, I'll be happy to take it off your hands. Email me.

Melbourne from the middle
Ahhh, what a great off-season. And, no, it didn't involve giddily dipping a dance girl on a tennis court. That's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and not one of my vacay pics. In case you were confused. Because it happens. Sometimes.
Anyway, I've been away for a bit and missed the season-opening tourneys and the first week of the Australian Open. But there was a silver lining. You got to see Rafael Nadal's ass grab for about two months. No harm there.
Life has been busy. My full-time gig is going well but there's bigger news: I'm getting married! Married? Yes, married. Married?? Yes, MARRIED! 2012 is the year I finally do the deed. Well, more like "we." Kalil and I always said if we could get legally married in NYC we would do it. So when Governor Cuomo announced the bill had passed making gay marriage legal in New York state last year, we looked at each other and excitedly said, "I guess we're getting married!" It's truly a special time right now. There's so much to plan (no wedding planner…blame my control issues) and organize. But it's all good. Really REALLY good.
What's also really REALLY good is what's going to come in the second week of the Australian Open. The big ballers on both the men's and women's sides are still around which means epic battles are most likely on the Aussie horizon. Novak Djokovic and Maria Sharapova are barely losing games. Juan Martin del Potro is showing some of that old form that made him a Grand Slam champ. He's been steadily rounding into devastating form.
The veterans—Roger Federer, Serena Williams, Kim Clijsters—have drool-worthy quarterfinals to look forward to. Fed gets Delpo and ReRe will get Shrieka if she gets by Ekaterina Makarova (no offense, Macky, but really…). And the defending women's champ, who just about got the boot until she houdinied her way from 4 match points down and a balky ankle to beat Li Na, gets top seed Caroline Wozniacki in the quarters.
And there's still Rafa, Andy Murray, Petra Kvitova and Victoria Azarenka in the mix. Suffice it to say there aren't any true feel good, prodigy-against-the-draw or journeyballer-on-a-hot-streak stories this season in Melbourne. But that's okay. I'll take a a few classic throw downs between top ballers under the lights any day because you just know it's going to be good. Really REALLY good.

PS: Are you working (the gig you talk about) as a tennis journalist? Where?Replies
Thanks. No, not as a journo. Don't think what I do here would would go over well in one of those "legit" outlets. Unless they're into lots of posts on half-naked, sweaty ballers. Then, yes.Delete

Near the intersection of Georgia Ave. and Colesville Rd. on a private road, the shopping center had been towing cars parked at private parking meters, but signs weren't large enough or clear enough to comply with county and Maryland regulations.
View a photo gallery of our undercover towing investigation by clicking here.
Drivers, who expected a parking ticket at the worst, were shocked to find their cars towed and missing when they returned from shopping.
Now Downtown Silver Spring has larger signs and stickers warning of towing on each meter, but there is still a possibility it is not in compliance according to Montgomery County.
"It's pretty close to in compliance," said Montgomery County Consumer Affairs Director Eric Friedman. "It's better than what it was - we can probably still make that sign slightly better."
Friedman said a judge would ultimately have to decide whether the current changes are enough to make towing there legal.
"We thought we had the correct signage," said property manager Daniel Figueroa. "We obviously didn't. The meters all say one hour parking. We had a few signs, albeit it not enough."
Figueroa said they have suspended towing until Montgomery County tells them their signs are in compliance.
Our investigation identified about 50 victims in one three month period alone.
WUSA9 hidden cameras recorded two G&G tow trucks hook up cars in the lot.
We were able to intervene on the second one and prevent the tow.
That's when Downtown Silver Spring suspended all towing and began installing new, larger tow warning signs.
They also attached small towing warnings to each meter.
Although the meters had small stickers saying "one hour parking," there had been no warning on the meters about towing and they accepted enough quarters to credit drivers with more than six hours of parking.
Downtown Silver Springs officials say although they enforced a one hour limit, they gave customers grace periods, and didn't tow if time still showed on the meter.
Our surveillance crew recorded one tow truck driver chalking tires and another tow truck driver returning a little over two hours later to tow.
G&G Towing officials haven't returned our calls for comment and threatened to press trespassing charges against us when we went to their offices.
Downtown Silver Spring has agreed to refund towing charges to customers towed from their private meters.

I've recently purchased and HTC One-X and I'm running Zimbra 7.2
I setup the native email app to using Activesync. Everything seems to work fine, calendar, tasks, and email sync with out issue. If I set my setting to download past mail to ALL it starts to download a few messages (4) then it refreshes and goes back to 1. Needless to say, it doesn't sync all my mail. I have around 200 messages to sync.
Now if I set the Download Past Mail to 30 days it works with no issues.
Any thoughts on what I can try?
I'm not sure if this is a zimbra issue or not, but I thought I'd start here.

Transportation news: Diesel prices remain above the $3 per gallon mark
October 13, 2010
The average price per gallon of diesel gasoline remained above the $3 per gallon for the second straight week, according to data released this week by the Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration.
For the week of October 11, the EIA reported that average diesel prices are $3.066 per gallon, representing a 6.6 cent increase from the week of October 4.
Diesel prices have been fluctuating in general lately, with this week's 6.6 cent gain preceded by a 4.9 cent gain the prior week back to the $3 per gallon mark, representing the first time prices have hit $3 per gallon in the previous 18 weeks when diesel was at $3.024 the week of May 24.
The current average price per gallon of diesel is 46.6 cents higher than it was a year ago and 6.1 cents below the 2010 weekly high of $3.127 per gallon from the week of May 10.
The EIA is calling for 2010 crude oil prices to hit $77.97 per barrel and 2011 prices at $83.00 per barrel, according to its recently-revised short-term energy outlook. Both figures are below recent estimates of $79.13 for 2010 and $83.50 for 2011. Current oil prices are at $81.67 per barrel as of press time.
If prices continue to rise at current levels, some industry experts contend that barrel prices will be between $80 and $90 in 2011 and the price per gallon of diesel will stay above $3 per gallon.
The recent upticks in prices may be related to global currency devaluations and disruptions at the largest oil port in France, where workers have been on strike for more than a week, according to a MarketWatch report.
Prior to this recent uptick, oil and gasoline prices were relatively low due to higher inventories signaling weaker demand and sluggish economic growth. And a recent Associated Press report stated that while the price per barrel had been in the $75 per barrel range since early summer, some analysts expect high crude prices to weigh on prices even if the economy expands more than expected over the next year.
Chuck Taylor, founder and principal of Awake! Consulting, an organization that encourages supply chain professionals to play active roles in shaping national energy policy, said at the recent Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals Annual Conference that for the first time in its history the United States will be forced to increase economic growth while decreasing oil consumption, which, he said, is something that has never happened before.
"This is something that has serious implications for the prosperity of global supply chains," said Taylor. "There are many who say that cannot be done…and that we are in for a permanent decline, but I don't agree with that."

Montana Schools Win National Student Energy Efficiency Competition
A team of five schools from Carter County, Mont., has won the America's Home Energy Education Challenge, a national student competition designed to encourage students and their families to take action to start saving money by saving energy.
The Montana team was supported by Southeast Electric Cooperative, based in Ekalaka, Mont. Marlene Waterland of Southeast Electric coordinated the program and provided training for each of the schools. Western contributed to the effort by providing a lighting efficiency display and infrared cameras through the Equipment Loan Program.
"Western is proud to be able to assist Southeast Electric Cooperative and Marlene engage these young people and focus their math and science skills on a real-life problem—how to save money by using energy efficiently at home," said Gary Hoffmann, Western's Equipment Loan Program manager.
The five schools, Alzeda Elementary School, Carter County High School, Ekalaka Elementary School (K-8th grade), Hammond School (K-8th grade) and Hawks Home School, will share the $15,000 they won as both a regional winner and as the national champion.
The Challenge, which is run by the National Science Teachers Association for the Department of Energy, challenged teams of third through eighth grade students to work with their science teachers and local utility companies to develop energy use savings plans that reduce the amount of energy used to power their homes. Each student team monitored and measured their energy consumption between September and November 2011, and then compared it to data collected during the same three-month period the year before.
The Montana students talked to their family members about steps they could take to save money by saving energy, including turning off the lights when leaving the room, running the laundry machine with cooler water and full loads, and in an agricultural community, using timers to set charging times for tractors.

CHAPEL HILL (AP) � Police haven't ruled out the possibility that hazing was involved in the death of a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill freshman who fell from a tower at a concrete plant.
The state Medical Examiner's Office released a toxicology report Monday, showing David Shannon of Charlotte had a blood alcohol content of 0.22 percent when he died in October 2012.
Autopsy results, also released Monday, showed he died of blunt trauma to the head, neck and torso.
Shannon had attended a party Oct. 26, 2012, in Chapel Hill and never showed up at a sorority dance he was supposed to attend afterward. Friends who followed a GPS signal from his cellphone found his body the next evening at the Ready Mixed Concrete Plant in Carrboro. Police say he fell 40 feet when he tried to cross a cable stay after climbing a tower.
Police hope people with information about Shannon's death are ready to come forward.
�A wall of silence went up pretty quickly after this incident,� Carrboro police Capt. Chris Atack said. �Whoever knows some information has had a year to think about it. Maybe their conscience is bothering them.�
Shannon, 18, was a fraternity pledge. In an email to the Carrboro town manager last month, police Chief Walter Horton said investigators contacted �members of the fraternity and UNC community� several times.
Police were unable to corroborate what little information they got, Horton said.
�You also inquired what charges would be appropriate in this case if we got to that point,� Horton wrote in the email. �Depending on what information is developed, we may be able to charge N.C. General Statute 14-35 Hazing, which is a Class 2 misdemeanor. Dependent on other developments, we may have additional charges if appropriate.�

We are very pleased with the new features in ZCS 8.0. One issue that we are running into and would like to see if it is a bug or a work around could be done to make it work the way we feel it should.
We are trying to create a way for Staff members to have access to Address books by Grade Level, they should only have View Access, however we want them to be able to add contacts to their own Contact Groups.
In the first image you will see 1stGrade Address book the user has Manage access and is able to add the selected contacts to their own Contact group called Biology 1st.
In the second image you will see 2ndGrade Address book the user has View access and is unable to add the selected contacts to their own group.
I understand with Manage, the user could actually create a new Contact group in the Address book 1stGrade, and we don't want that to happen. So it brings us to the 2ndGrade address book, where the user should still have access to add the contacts to their own Contact Groups, but grey out Add New Contact Group .. or better yet, only allow the new contact group in their own address books.

Let me get this straight....you are KIDDING me!
We've got bloody RT which does NOTHING but slam the US and praise Putin 24/7, but Al Jazeera English was short-circuited by a few ... uninformed people?
OK, before I get into a shouting match here I simply want to challenge anyone who wants to slam me on AJE.
First, go to: http://rt.com/on-air/ Watch it for an hour and count the anti-US references you see and hear, the stories that tell of all the problems in America.
Then, go to: http://www.aljazeera.com/watch_now/ and do the same.
Then come back here and let's discuss.
BTW, as I was typing this I switched on RT, just to make sure it was what I remembered. Within 30 seconds I had been told how Newt Gingrich or Romney as President would curtail American civil liberties and the crawl at the bottom of the screen chided the US for "interfering" with its comments about the Russian election.
I want to know who is paying Dish to pick up this channel. Look, I know what Charlie's politics are...I can't help but wonder if he knows he's broadcasting this...stuff?
As a child, I would lie in bed at night and listen to Radio Moscow, along with many other shortwave stations. Even at the age of 12 I could discern the difference between propaganda and honestly reported news. Today's RT doesn't push the glories of Marxism as did the old Radio Moscow...but it is considerably more sophisticated in the ways it seeks to trash our country and its interests abroad.
Sorry for the rant, folks. This just pissed me off (as I guess you can tell).
RT is much better than all those Home Shopping Channels (aka 24 hour infomericals) that take up bandwidth on Dish.

Man falls through sidewalk in Goshen
GOSHEN — A man standing in front of the Dew Drop Inn unintentionally did just that today, July 21.
A hole opened in the sidewalk at the corner of the building at 227 S. Main St., and a man fell through into a room below, according to Chief Dan Sink of the Goshen Fire Department.
The man wasn't seriously hurt. He was conscious and alert at the scene, but was taken to IU Health Goshen for treatment, Sink said.
"He was very lucky," Sink said.
Firefighters investigated and found the sidewalk concrete was poured on top of a wood frame, which was broken underneath, he said. The water and gas lines are intact, but the building owner will have to fix the issue.
A number of the old buildings and sidewalks downtown have empty spaces below them because space was needed decades ago to store coal, Sink said.
The area will likely have police tape around it so that people can't enter it during Sunday's Elkhart County 4-H Fair parade, which draws thousands of spectators downtown.

A man who barricaded himself inside of a Meridian motel ended up surrendering to authorities after hours of negotiating.
Meridian Police say it all began around 2:30 on Wednesday afternoon in the back of the Quality Inn off of Highway 145. Authorities say the suspect forced his way into a neighboring room while carrying a weapon. The individual in the room was able to escape unharmed, but the suspect barricaded himself for several hours before surrendering at 6:45 p.m.
Investigators say prior to the standoff, there was already an outstanding warrant for the suspect in Clarke County, as well as several misdemeanor warrants in Lauderdale County.

Nikki Bella in a thong
While she is doing rather well for herself in the modern era, many believe that Nikki Bella would have been a much bigger star back when the Attitude Era was taking place in WWE. Since she is quite comfortable with her sexuality, the belief is that she would have had no qualms with wrestling in her bra, panties or even a thong, which was a common and very popular thing for the divas to do during that point in time.

We are looking to test and perhaps migrate to Zimbra in the near future. From what I read the open source edition does not support this? But we have a strong development team. Will we be given the option to integrate Mitel for UC on the open source edition?
I would appreciate any guidance.
Many thanks,

WHEELING - After going through a gauntlet of playing a schedule that featured teams with a combined record of 95-5, Wheeling Central probably felt like it could use a break.
Playing a team in Bishop Donahue, which was 9-12, seemed to offer such a respite, although, being it was a West Virginia Class A, Region One, Section One semifinal, Central girls' coach Penn Kurtz knew there was no time for a letdown.
There wasn't.
Central used a 22-0 run spanning the last part of the first quarter and the first half of the second to break an early 8-8 deadlock en route to a 55-33 victory against the young Bishops.
Lindsey Baker, coming off a 29-point performance against previously undefeated St. Marys, had 15 points and Ragen Blaha and Mackenzie Michaels added 11 and 10, respectively, to help the Maroon Knights (12-10) advance to Friday's section final against Magnolia at the John Marshall Field House in Moundsville.
Central used its stout defense to make what was the winning run, and that was by design.
"We wanted to establish our defense early," Kurtz said. "The last time we played them (freshman point guard Jewel) Purpura had 19 points. (Tuesday) we held her to (three points) through the first three quarters and that was pretty good defense. We've been playing well on defense."
For Bishop, a team that starts two freshmen and two juniors, staying in the game early evaporated in a haze of turnovers.
"I think there was a point where we turned the ball over on seven straight possessions and they capitalized on those," Bishop Donahue coach Donnie Gillis said. "We just had too many turnovers. They are a good team and they are better than we are."
Early on, the Bishops kept it close, and had a chance to go ahead but missed two free throws.
That's when Central made its run, closing the first quarter on a 12-0 run to lead 20-8.
Central then scored the first 10 points of the second quarter before Cassidy Campbell, who had a team-high 10 points for the Bishops, ended the run with a pair of free throws.
Central led 32-12 at the break.
"When they are capitalizing on everything, you have to make the most of the opportunities you get," Gillis said. "We weren't able to do that."
Central ran the lead to 38-17 with more defense that led to several transition baskets and a 50-19 lead. In the game, Central had 14 steals.
Both teams substituted freely in the fourth quarter.
"We've played well lately, against a good schedule, and I thought we played well in spurts (here)," Kurtz said. "When we are balanced, we are a hard team to defend. Lindsey had a mismatch in her last game (against St. Marys) and she used it, but (Tuesday) we had a balanced attack and that makes us a better team."
"We will get better (during the offseason)," Gillis said. "We will push the fact that we need to get to the point where we are in their situation, and we take advantage of opportunities. I'm excited about the future. To win nine games with such a young team will help us in the future."

|Local hospital board addresses legislative issues
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
Colorado Hospital Association president and chief executive officer Steven Summer joined the local hospital board Tuesday, June 25 for the monthly East Phillips County Hospital District board meeting.
Summer presented board members with a legislative overview for Denver.
Of the over 600 bills in consideration at the start of legislature for Colorado, CHS monitored close to 140 of them, taking a hard position on roughly 15-20 specific bills.
One bill board members specifically discussed had to do with the expansion of Medicaid and how it ties back to the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act.
Hospitals have the option to expand Medicaid, with the federal government footing the bill for the first few years. Over the course of the following 10 years, the state would be responsible for covering 10 percent of the expansion.
"When you think about how many people we can add here in Colorado, hundreds of thousands of people, and the federal government is going to pay for 100 percent of it in the beginning, that's a good deal," Melissa Memorial Hospital administrator John Ayoub said.
The question then becomes how does the state go about paying the 10 percent?
A funding mechanism is in place in which the state taxes hospitals to bring in money. That money is then sent to the federal government who then matches the funds. The state then divvies up the money. The money is put to use for hospitals and health care.
The amount the hospital is initially taxed is based on the size of the hospital. The money that is divided up amongst Colorado hospitals is based on the amount lost due to Medicaid.
Colorado hospitals have a pact so that no hospital loses money in the process. Aside from being able to insure more patients, MMH will actually make money in the deal.
Administrator reports
Ayoub reported on a number of topics during the meeting.
One of the more exciting news was that MMH will be welcoming three new members to the team Monday, July 8. Dr. Aaron Wilson will begin his tenure as a provider, but will likely not begin seeing patients until the end of the month. Sam Kuhlman will take over as the health information management director and Carolyn Cambridge will begin as a med tech.
"We're quite pleased to be able to fill these positions with good people," Ayoub said.
Ayoub also noted that the hospital was able to refinance the mortgage of the hospital. With around $13 million still owed on the building, the hospital was able to refinance the interest down to 4.17 percent from 6.7 percent.
About eight months ago, Ayoub said the hospital first began looking into refinancing. As the payment penalty dropped one percent every year, it became more and more justifiable to pay the payment penalty for paying off the loan early.
Even after paying the fine, the hospital stands to save $220,000 a year in savings and interest. Over the life of the loan, the hospital is set to save about $2.58 million.
The meeting also marked the first time that the board was introduced to the new stroke robot.
Beginning Monday, July 1, a stroke robot will be in use at MMH. The machine is plugged into Swedish Medical Center in Denver, which Ayoub said was one of the top three hospitals in the country as far as caring for stroke patients.
This means that if someone were to go to MMH showing signs of a stroke, they will have a world-renown neurologist interacting with them, reading their CT scans and communicating with the doctor at the bedside.
MMH receives positive reviews
The Colorado Health Service Corps, a group of volunteers who receive federal money to work in underserved areas, recently performed a review of MMH to ensure doctors in the program are performing at an acceptable level and deserving of the money they receive for being a part of the program.
Considering the population of the region and the amount of doctors, Holyoke is considered to be an underserved area.
In the hospital's first review, it was determined by the group that MMH was up to par with the standards set for doctors and hospitals. Ayoub stated that the group had many complimentary comments about the doctors and the site.
MMH was also active during Dandelion Daze, having more than 30 people take part in a computer survey of the hospital.
Ayoub encourages everyone to take part in the survey, which can be found at www.melissamemorial.org under the community tab. The survey will be available throughout July, in both English and Spanish.
The community health needs assessment survey touches on topics such as hospital care, home care, insurance, pharmacy, ambulance, any physical and fitness activity and much more that deal with what Holyoke has to offer to help promote a healthier lifestyle. It is an important part of helping the hospital determine what types of programs and services they can offer to better take care of the community.
Other business
In other business June 25, board members:
—approved credentialing of Krishna Murthy, MD, allergist.
—announced that the next board meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, July 23.

An Asian-American married couple from Los Angeles are jailed in the Middle East and accused of murder with intent for allegedly starving their 8-year-old adopted daughter, Gloria.
According to freemattandgrace.com, Matthew and Grace Huang were in Qatar because Matthew, a Stanford-trained engineer, was working on an infrastructure project related to the 2022 World Cup Improvements. With them were their three children- all of whom were adopted from Africa.
On January 15, 2013, Gloria suddenly died and the couple was arrested shortly after. The couple is charged for intentionally starving the child for the purposes of human trafficking despite the fact that there is no actual evidence that the couple ever harmed or mistreated their children.
The Qatari doctor who conducted Gloria's autopsy concluded that her cause of death was dehydration and wasting disease though supporters in the U.S. argue that such a conclusion doesn't add up. Gloria's history of eating disorders and malnutrition, as well as the health risks that arose from them, are not taken into account.
It is, however, not a stretch to assume that malnutrition played a hand in the child's death. Huffington Post reports "Their daughter, who was severely malnourished in early childhood, would periodically refuse food for several days and then binge eat or get food from bizarre sources, such as garbage cans or from strangers – a behavior her parents traced to her impoverished upbringing and were trying to address…The behavior is not uncommon in adopted children who have suffered from severe malnutrition in their past."
The claim that she was starved, however, doesn't seem to add up. Gloria was seen walking around the day before she died. If starvation were the cause, she certainly would not have had the strength to do so.
Despite Gloria lacking any physical evidence of abuse, the investigative report theorized that the adopted children were bought for organ harvesting and perhaps for medical experimentation. Yes, we agree- this is a rather harsh accusation to make.
Even more alarming, the report suggests that theres no legitimate reason to adopt these children who were not "good-looking" and did not share their "hereditary traits". U.S. supporters argue that this abrasive comment is due to a culture gap. In America, adoption is accepted and perfectly normal, but it is a foreign concept in many countries in the Middle East.
The couple's other two children are being cared for by their grandmother while the trial continues. The Huangs have been imprisoned in Qatar for over six months as they await their trail. The penalty if found guilty? Death.
Many U.S. supporters are fighting back against what is described as an unfair cultural misunderstanding. Let us know what you think.

There is more than one way to hunt fall turkeys for successBy: George deVilbiss/Special to Gold Country News Service
After last week's column announcing the opening of some bird seasons, including turkeys, one reader a few years ago was quick to inform me there is an alternate method of hunting these birds.
During the spring hunt, it's breeding time for turkeys. You simply set up a hen decoy, stay hidden, do some calling, and if there's a lonesome tom around, he'll often come running thinking he has a lady in waiting.
It's not quite that simple for the fall hunt. Birds usually are in separate groups, hens and jakes in one, toms in another.
At night, they roost in trees and at the crack of dawn they'll fly down to go for water and feed. Unless they're disturbed, they'll maintain their separate groups in the trees and on the ground.
And that's where you come in.
If you want the best chance of bagging a turkey during the fall hunt, you need to get into the field and do some research. Since the early days of turkey hunting, especially in the fall, a common method of pursuing these birds was to find out where they roost. You also need to know where they eat and drink.
Once you know where they are, you run like the dickens toward the group, with or without a hunting dog, to shake up and scatter the flock. More than likely, you won't stand a chance of getting a shot at this point.
But once they're scattered, bury yourself in the natural habitat and begin calling. They'll want to regroup, and one by one, they'll do just that. By calling, you can be the center point of their re-gathering point.
Give it a try.
Current fishing
Many boaters have put away their watercraft for the winter. That's a bad idea, especially if you're an angler. There is hot rod-bending action going on that you should be getting into. Early mornings tend to be on the chilly side, but by midday, you can be down to a T-shirt, so simply dress in layers.
Lake Tahoe: Mickey Daniels has one of the largest boats you'll ever see on Lake Tahoe, a 55-footer that looks more at home on the ocean than on this lake. It's a comfortable ride, and he's extremely successful at mackinaw, especially this time of year. Mickey is on the north side of the lake at Carnelian Bay, and you board the boat before the crack of dawn. Lately, he's been back at the docks well before noon because everybody has limited. Keepers usually range from five to seven pounds.
Crystal Basin: Trolling is tremendous at Ice House Reservoir at the lower end and Loon Lake at the upper end. It's nothing unusual to have 40-fish days, and you can play catch and release to your heart's content. Haul a small flashy lure or thread on the tail-end of a crawler. Fish are being found in the top of the water column so stay shallow.
Stampede Reservoir: It's a good time to hit this lake before storms dump snow and restrict access. German brown trout spawn in the fall, and they're followed by the rainbows who hope to feed on errant, unprotected eggs. Don't fish the main body. Launch the boat and head to the two main arms, Little Truckee and Sagehen. Action on brown trout and rainbows can be good.
Clear Lake: A true bass angler won't even consider using live bait, but the best winter bass fishing is done with live minnows, and getting 20 bass per day generally is no problem right now. A variety of artificials are working, however, just not with the regularity of a minnow. If you want to stick with artificials, keep changing until you get bit. What bass look for changes daily.
Lake Pardee: Rod-bending action has improved, mainly for trollers, but remember, the lake will close Sunday, Nov. 4. Trolling just inside the Narrows, a close run from the boat ramp, has shown good results for those top-lining or using downriggers to 30 feet.
Lake Camanche: Remember, this Saturday is Derby Day. Tons of rainbows are going to be pre-planted. Among them, 100 fish will have award tags of at least $500 each. Additionally, there will be about $4,000 in prizes for up to 20th place. A ticket to enter is $35 in advance and $45 at the door. A BBQ lunch is included.
Caples Lake: Limits of rainbows are being taken by shore casters. Better hit it now. If the storm doors open, the lake will revert to boring a hole through ice. Those fishing the dam-spillway area are limiting. With a two-rod stamp, soak salmon eggs, Power Bait or a crawler and then cast-retrieve a lure with the other. If you take a boat, a crawler behind a dodger or even a small Rapala down 20 feet are getting bit.
Butt Valley Lake: It will hardly be the prettiest environment in the aftermath of the Chips Fire. However, the lake is in excellent shape at about 90 percent of capacity. Except for some snow runoff, the lake receives the majority of its water from Lake Almanor. You can pretty much have the lake to yourself and get into some nice rainbow and brown trout, some of which are going four and five pounds. Haul a crawler behind blades. Not necessarily big numbers, but those being caught generally are quite hefty.
Folsom Lake: The main action is still for landlocked king salmon. The bad news is that they're still in the deeper ranges, meaning you'll need a downrigger to get to 60-65 feet. You'll find the salmon in really deep water — in front of the dam and the old river channel. Bassing is rated fair with largemouth, smallmouth and spots all hanging around rock piles. Watch your scope for bait, and then drop-shotting, jigging or even using cranks can get you bit.
Lake Amador: They've begun fall-winter plants of their homegrown cutthroat-rainbow trout. A good dump of fish ranged from two to five pounds. Early in the morning, you can top-line troll or fish from shore around the dam-spillway and do well. Bass are munching on shad so a variety of hardware is getting bit, even some top-water gear. Just be sure to use something that might imitate what they are chasing — shad.

Weapon safekeeping practices across the country
Police agencies remove weapons for safekeeping
Police agencies around the country are implementing weapon safekeeping practices.
In Baltimore, weapon safekeeping is happening at a nearly 400 percent increase, the Baltimore Police Department's numbers show.
An analysis by Scripps reporters found guns seized for safekeeping by Baltimore police went from 58 in 2008 up to an average of 200 a year over the last three years.
That's a total of nearly 1,000 guns in the last six years.
Police say it's due to a commitment to try to continually de-escalate potentially deadly situations.
"It was a time when we began to start shifting our thinking to say, not only are we going to handle the call, but what is the next step?" Baltimore Police Sgt. Jarron said. "We began asking the question, are there any guns in the house? Is there anything in the house or any other circumstances that can cause you to become an additional victim?"
Baltimore police say almost 50 percent of safekeeping firearms tested by the Evidence Control Unit are proven stolen, used in a previous crime or in the case of mental health wellness check, the person was never cleared by a physician.
Earlier this year, in Linn County, Iowa, the sheriff issued a written directive requiring deputies to ask individuals seeking help in mental health or substance abuse crisis situations to voluntarily hand over weapons in their home for safekeeping.
Sheriff Brian Gardner said "no one has taken us up on our offer to safeguard their weapons during such time as the voluntary and/or emergency committal process is in effect."
Gardner said this could be because there are no weapons to safeguard or members of the household are able to keep the weapons safe without law enforcement involvement. "Barring any direction from the court for us to do anything further, our offer is often the best that we can do as long as the weapon is not a part of the specific issue," he said.
Last year, the Consortium of Risk-Based Firearm Policy filed a report detailing how states can prevent gun violence through policy initiatives. One of those included a recommendation to allow private citizens to petition the court to request guns be temporarily removed from family members or close friends who possess a credible risk of harm to himself or others.
"I was asked why we didn't have such a directive in place and I couldn't think of a reason why not," Gardner said. "It doesn't hurt to ask, so we now do."
Sean Caranna, Executive Director for Florida Carry, Inc., said, just because there are not written directives or policies in place, like the one in Linn County, Iowa, doesn't mean the practice is not happening.
"You often see unwritten policies," he said. " A wink, wink, nudge, nudge, we are going to cover these during our shift briefings, but we are not going to write it down."
Some states and municipalities address weapon safekeeping directly in laws or policies.
- In Indiana police can confiscate guns from dangerous individuals and keep them for up to five years with court approval.
- A Texas law allows an arresting officer to remove guns from a person taken into custody if the officer believes the person has a mental illness and poses a substantial risk to the person or others unless immediately restrained.
- In Seattle, the police department will ask owners of the weapons for permission to take them from their homes. It is completely voluntary and as long as there is no crime associated with the weapon, it can be returned once the situation calms down, according to a department spokesperson.
John Firman, Director of Research for The International Association of Chiefs of Police, said policies and procedures like weapon safekeeping are "a question of common sense and trying to keep everyone as safe as we can keep them."
At the federal level, U.S. Senators from California Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein have introduced the "Pause for Safety Act."
The bill would let family members and acquaintances apply for a "gun violence prevention order" that let police take away guns from the person believed to be a potential threat. It would also allow courts to issue warrants allowing law enforcement officers to do the same.
The bill has also been introduced in the House by Rep. Lois Capps (D-Calif.).
In California at the state level, three lawmakers are pushing a similar measure. The bill must pass the state Legislature by Aug. 31 to go into effect.
WMAR Investigative Reporter Brian Kuebler contributed to this story.

I am in the process of setting up a central Ldap server that will serve as a central authentication (username/password) repository. I have been looking for a simple way to enable a SSO solution that Zimbra and several other portal applications (all can use Ldap) can use in order to provide the end-user with a single sign-on experience.
My current idea is to simply pass login/password credentials to zimbra (before loading zimbra into a portal tab) - zimbra would accept this login/password programmatically and then envolk a logon command against an external Ldap server. The user would then be redirected to a zimbra session (within the tab) that is logged in and ready to use.
My question is whether or not this seems feasible: I already have a portal environment that includes custom tabs for all applications including zimbra. I can envolk any sort of zimbra provided webservices when the user clicks on the tab (prior to redirecting the tab contents to the zimbra session). I can query the Ldap server for the current user and get the assoicated logon credentials and pass those within said webservice request.
1) Please provide assistance in how I could envolk the zimbra login programatically, preferably via webservices, but also via any PHP/Java script, ect would also be fine.
2) I believe I would also be responsible for maintaining password sync between the local zimbra ldap and the central ldap and would also be responsible for adding and removing users to the local zimbra ldap...is this a correct assumption?
3) If all my applications can utilize the central ldap server and I do not have need for a Microsoft or other domain, is there a better way to enable SSO apart from CAS?
4) Possibly where zimbra (for example) queries the cental portal for the current user (I could provide a webservice) and then authenticates against the external ldap...this is just a twist on the original model. Again what zimbra authentication function could be called (that would accept the username and password provided by the external ldap query)?
Basically I am just hoping that I might enlist some advise as I set out on this process.
I would be happy to share my experiece and methods with the community if that is helpful and not too odd of a solution for central sso.

|I'm Just Cookin'
|Written by Darci Tomky
There's always room for Jell-O
"America's Most Famous Dessert" has been a classic in U.S. households for over 100 years, and Jell-O continues to make us smile with its wiggly jiggliness and bold fruit flavors.
Apparently I've been living under a rock, because I had never heard of Broken Glass Jell-O, and boy I sure have been missing out! This dessert is absolutely beautiful and absolutely delicious!
I used a recipe from justjennrecipes.com, with red, orange, blue and green Jell-O, but you could use any flavor/color combo! It's perfect for pot lucks or maybe that Easter family gathering you have coming up.
Just in case you don't already have the J-E-L-L-O jingle in your head, I'll bring back some Jell-O memories for you.
The dessert was invented in 1895 when a cough syrup maker, Pearl B. Wait, adapted Peter Cooper's 1845 patent for gelatin dessert, adding strawberry, raspberry, orange and lemon flavoring. It was Pearl's wife May who really made history, coining the term Jell-O.
They sold the business to Orator Francis Woodward in 1899 for merely $450. The dessert brand has been off and running ever since, with a variety of flavors and types of desserts over the years. Did you know they had cola and coffee flavors? What about savory flavors like celery, Italian, mixed vegetable and seasoned tomato?
Jell-O makes me think of spokesperson Bill Cosby. And I'm sure some of you remember growing up with Jell-O Jigglers in red and blue for the 4th of July or green and yellow for Homecoming. For some reason, when I was a little girl my mom always made us Jell-O when we were sick, so it's that kind of food that makes me think of home. J-E-L-L-O!!
Broken Glass Jell-O
4 (3-ounce) small boxes of Jell-O, different colors
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
Dissolve each box of Jell-O separately, using just 1 cup of boiling water per flavor. Pour into individual containers (small tupperware works well) and chill overnight. Once solid, cut the flavors of Jell-O into small blocks and mix together carefully in a glass 9×13 pan. In a separate bowl, dissolve 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin in 2 cups hot water. Let cool a bit and stir in the condensed milk. Cool to touch and pour cooled milk mixture over Jell-O. Chill overnight and enjoy!

Pender authorities searching for man in murder, arson
Published: Wednesday, July 24, 2013 at 9:37 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 24, 2013 at 9:37 p.m.
The Pender County Sheriff's Office is investigating a homicide that occurred Wednesday at 4875 Little Kelly Road in Rocky Point.
When fire and rescue personnel responded to a reported structure fire, they found a deceased female inside the residence, the sheriff's office said late Wednesday night.
The victim has been identified as Myrle Knowles Carr, who lived at the residence, the sheriff's office said.
Authorities are seeking Wilbur Pinkney Price Jr. for questioning. He is believed to be driving a metallic blue older model Chrysler with Virginia tags. There is also a special forces sticker on the front of the vehicle.
Pinkney is believed to be armed and dangerous, with a Derringer pistol and an M1911 pistol.
Carr's cause of death will be released after an autopsy has been conducted, the sheriff's office said.
Pender County detectives, along with a State Bureau of Investigation arson investigator and the Pender County Fire Marshal's Office, continued to process the crime scene late Wednesday night.

We carefully inspect your order prior to shipment; upon receipt, please inspect your purchase and notify us of any damage. We will arrange for a prompt replacement. If, within 7 days for Quick Ship upholstery and 30 days for all other products, you are dissatisfied for any reason, you may return your purchase for a refund of the merchandise value.
If your return for Merchandise Credit Cards is greater than $10,000, we will issue $10,000 in Merchandise Credit Cards to you that day, and then mail additional Merchandise Credit Card(s) for the amount in excess of $10,000 to you.
We cannot accept returns on monogrammed, personalized, special-order items, or on items damaged through normal wear and tear. We also cannot accept returns of final-sale items, which are identified by a price that ends in $0.99.
For returns of items purchased from your Pottery Barn Kids registry, we will gladly provide a refund or exchange for the merchandise within 90 days of your event or within 90 days of purchase, whichever date is later.
