There's a lot to be said for institutional knowledge and experience, in my mind.
The skills and abilities you develop and experience you gain if you stay in one place for a long time are usually pretty valuable. Not only to yourself, but to those who benefit from all you've gained and stored in memory.
It may be one of the few good things about growing older.
In the case of Rifle City Hall, there's a big hole when it comes to that knowledge, skills and experience that has recently walked out, or soon will walk out, the door for various reasons.
And I mean a lot of institutional knowledge and experience. Sixty-seven years to be exact. That's a lifetime for many people.
Add it up:
Mike Braaten, five years as government affairs coordinator, left in December to take a job on the Front Range.
Daryl Meisner, 39 years with Rifle Police Department, including 22 years as police chief, retired last July.
John Hier, nine years as city manager, will retire in May.
Aleks Briedis, 14 years as recreation director, will relocate to the Chicago area for family reasons in May.
Each held, or holds, a position of authority and oversight in how our tax dollars were spent. City councilmembers may get the attention - good and bad - when they make the big decisions. But it's people like Braaten, Meisner, Dyer and Briedis who provided the information and guidance to help them make what they felt were correct decisions.
(I won't mention the city attorney, who's the real Oz in these situations.)
Each of these men helped shape Rifle into the city it is now, some may say warts and all.
Braaten garnered thousands of dollars in grants for many projects and was a liaison between the city and the energy industry back when natural gas was booming in these parts.
Meisner oversaw the growth of Rifle's finest from a small town, Mayberry-esque department into what we have now, with well-trained and well-equipped, hard-working officers and detectives. I'm sure his successor, John Dyer, would agree.
Hier helped guide Rifle's commercial growth in recent years, including the arrival of Walmart and all the businesses that came with natural gas. He also kept the city going when its budget plummeted due to the recent recession. And he shepherded the city's new water treatment plant through some choppy waters last year.
Briedis can be proud of the excellent parks and recreation facilities Rifle has added since his arrival, but will leave before one of his top goals - a city recreation center - may become a reality in the near future. Still, the groundwork was laid during his time at City Hall.
Rifle's shelf of institutional knowledge is not totally bare, though.
Matt Sturgeon, with 11 years as city planner and assistant city manager, will be Hier's successor for at least the next three years. He's had a lot to do with how Rifle has developed, too, and is committed to the community.
Dyer brought 28 years of law enforcement experience with him when he signed on with the city last August. He's been met with welcome arms, at least from those who know him. Haven't heard what anyone put behind bars since he became Rifle's top cop might think. And I haven't seen any mass exodus of officers, which is another good sign.
Taking a different view of all this, you might say it might be time for some changes. Different faces, different views and different ideas can be positive, too. No one thinks exactly the same and sometimes you get in ruts. Not to say that happened with any of these gentlemen, but we'll see how issues and projects proceed once a few more management types join City Hall.
In the meantime, we should give a hearty thanks and well done to Messrs. Braaten, Meisner, Dyer and Briedis and wish them well as they take on new challenges.
They'll be missed and not forgotten. I just wish we could bottle all that institutional knowledge for those that follow.

Michigan would lose at least $125 million a year if federal lawmakers approve President Bush's latest economic stimulus package. That's according to a report by the Washington-based Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
Bush wants to eliminate the tax on corporate dividends, which are now counted as income when Michigan taxes its residents.
Michigan Republican Party chairman Rusty Hills defends Bush's plan. He says it will boost state revenues by creating more jobs.
According to the analysis, Michigan would be the ninth-highest state in terms of revenue losses. The state already faces an estimated deficit of up to two billion dollars in the coming fiscal year.

I have a 32GB, but even that's not enough for the amount of downloaded PSOne classics, PSP games and Vita games. It's only going to get worse too with PS+!!
Shame I don't get much time to play them, but hey they are there for when I need them!
12-11-2012 #3
4GB and its enough. I have 1 PSN game that is Super Stardust Delta, and Its probably going to stay that way for ages. My 9 other games are all retail and I have no problem at all swapping cartridges and only travel with my Vita for a day at a time so its not like I get bored with what I'm currently playing.
PS+ has some good stuff but all games I already have. Gaming time is starting to get limited with real life obligations so I only want to play what I want to play not play what i happen to get free - if that makes sense

I have two different sizes, and will be three soon. Probably shoulda made the poll a multiple select option. I have the 8GB and 4GB right now. The 4 is basically useless. The 8GB is barely better. I didn't pay for either.

I got an 8gb that was thrown in for free from Amazon on my pre-order of the system itself.
It's enough to have plenty of games on there but I definitely need more. Haven't been bothered to play UC or GR yet (from PS+) cos I'll have to delete a couple of things before I can put them on =/. Want a 32 but too expensive still..
12-11-2012 #8
I'm the only one with 16GB! but, i still need more for sure.

For some of the things I have planned, I'm going to have to get a 32GB card, SOON. I hate the fact that I've said I wouldn't buy one at all at these extremely overpriced cards....
12-11-2012 #10
4gb here. But I buy retail and use the card for game saves. Sony will have to lower their price for memory to get me to upgrade.
12-11-2012 #11
I have the 16Gb. I need a bigger one but I refuse to spend more money on them. They're massively over-priced so I won't fund Sony any further on this one, until they become more reasonable on cost.
In fact, I've brought my PSPGo out of retirement to be a PSP/PSOne RPG machine.

I have a 16GB card. It's enough for me right now. I'm not shelling out on a 32GB card because I know the moment I do Sony will either.
1. Announce a price cut.
2. Release the 64GB card in the UK.

Notre Dame: Kelly doesn't have timeline for naming starting QB
NOTRE DAME — On the eve of August pre-season camp, Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly revealed that he was just as undecided about the quarterback race as he's ever been.
Kelly met with the media for the first time since April's spring scrimmage to talk about quarterbacks, position updates and emerging leaders on the roster.
Even though Kelly couldn't work with the players directly during their summer workouts, he had reports and general off-field observations to work with.
"I didn't learn as much about the quarterbacks from what they did from a football standpoint," he said." I was around here a lot and saw a focused group of players at that position. They were doing a lot of film study on their own. They're a group of guys that know that's a position that requires a great deal of attention to detail."
As for his starter against the Navy, Kelly says that remains to be determined based on performance in camp. He hinted that he had an inkling for who might win the job between Andrew Hendrix, Everett Golson and Gunner Kiel.
But when he was pressed, Kelly refused to share his thoughts.
"An idea is all I have, he said. "I have an idea, but we have to see how this plays out."
Kelly also hasn't dismissed the possibility of two quarterbacks sharing the brunt against Navy, though he said he'd rather have one.
He said if the starter against Navy performs well enough, he could very likely be the starter the rest of the year.
Kelly plans on splitting reps fairly evenly between Golson, Hendrix and Kiel at first. He said Tommy Rees, who is suspended for the Navy game, will also get his share of reps. As camp progresses, he hopes a clear leader will emerge.
"Ultimately, we want to be able to give the quarterback for Navy a lot of reps heading into the game," he said. "We have to be able to evaluate them based on what they did this summer and start to close in on what that pecking order is."
Kelly has no clear timeline for naming a starting quarterback. In an ideal world, he said, he'd know within a week.
By comparison, Kelly ended last year's quarterback drama by naming Dayne Crist the starter on the first day of classes, which was Aug. 23.

cupping in quick time
i took this movie at 1 fps in peru at the "Concurso de Cafe de Calidad" this past week. it starts in round 2 with cupping, then cleanup, setting up the new tables for round 3. I kinda like the dead space in between rounds ... but actually, i had forgot my camera when the jury went off to discuss the round 2 scores, so it was an accident... at the nearest table you can see me, looking kinda scruffy, in the light shirt, and geoff watts from intelligentsia in the dark green shirt, along with maritsa and lourdes, catadores peruanas. -tom ps: I put together this little movie of clips from the peru competition too ... rock out!

Hi Folks,
I have a Zimbra 8 (OCS) server, and it is hosting a few domains. One domain is "unimplemented", meaning I have not defined any users except "admin" and two aliases "root", and "sa". This domain, "tclc.org" is the "natural" domain on my subnet, meaning all the machines are members of this domain.
I also have an Exchange Server that I am vacating and is currently handling mail for TCLC.org. This Exchange Server has a public IP, not on my subnet. There are TWO MX records for the TCLC.org domain, one out in the world at large pointing to the public IP for TCLC.org and one on my local DNS server pointing to exactly the same address.
If I am authenticated on Zimbra as a user of one of the other domains, and I send a message to members of TCLC.org, the correct behavior is for Zimbra to seek the MX record, which identifies a server somewhere else, and forward to that server, which would be the Exchange server, but Zimbra thinks he owns the TCLC.org domain, and bounces the mail because there is no user defined, unless I am sending to one of the three. I think this only happens because Zimbra is lazy and making an assumption that is either unwarranted or misconfigured, and that is because he knows about the TCLC.org domain, he, therefore has no need to fetch the MX record.
It this bit of bad behavior configurable or is it a bug?
Thanks for the help,

Memphis, TN (Sports Network) - Rudy Gay missed two key free throws late in
regulation, but drained a go-ahead jumper with 27.8 seconds remaining in
overtime to help the Memphis Grizzlies fight off the San Antonio Spurs,
101-98, in a playoff-like atmosphere at FedExForum.
Memphis was swept by its Southwest Division rival in all four meetings last
season and dropped an overtime decision back on Dec. 1 after squandering a 14-
point fourth quarter lead.
The Grizzlies also saw a double-digit cushion fall by the wayside on Friday,
and needed to survive Tony Parker's game-tying 3-pointer at the regular buzzer
to win their fourth straight game.
Gay finished with a team-high 23 points, Mike Conley added 21 points and five
assists and Zach Randolph totaled 18 points and 10 rebounds in the statement
Parker led all scorers with 30 points, while Tim Duncan chipped in 13 points
and 15 boards in the Spurs' third straight road loss.

Police Chief Joe Treviño said narcotics investigators received a complaint concerning what some people at the motel believed to be illegal activity.
Investigators obtained a search warrant and hit the motel room sometime after 3 a.m.
Inside the room, officers found about $300 in cash, cocaine, synthetic marijuana and marijuana.
Those arrested were 20-year-old Jeremiah Arredondo, 30-year-old Chris Campos, 37-year-old Margaret Brown and 19-year-old Michaela Santos.
Arredondo was charged with manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana.
Charges against Campos included possession of a controlled substance, less then two ounces, and possession of less than two ounces of marijuana.
Treviño said Campos also was wanted on a local warrant that had been issued previously.
Brown's charges included possession of a controlled substance, one to four grams, and possession of marijuana.
Santos was charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana.
Treviño said the offenses are both district level felonies and county level misdemeanors.
Police officers were assisted in the raid by Bee County Sheriff's Office Deputies Ryan Treviño and Rick Villarreal.

'Agents of virtue'
International | Author Paul Theroux returns to Africa and raises troubling questions about Western relief work on the continent
FAMED WRITER PAUL THEROUX begins Dark Star Safari (scheduled for publication on March 28) with the statement "All news out of Africa is bad." Wars, famines, AIDS, butchery, corruption define the way journalists, and therefore most Americans, view the continent.
As a Peace Corps volunteer and teacher in Malawi and Uganda in the mid-1960s, Mr. Theroux had a different memory, one of a newly liberated Africa on the verge of self-determination. Determined to learn what happened, he traveled overland from Cairo to Capetown, interrupting his ground trip only to fly into and out of Sudan because its borders were closed. By ramshackle bus, truck, car, train, and boat he made his way slowly south, braving bad roads, bandits, heat, sickness, and delay.
The result is Dark Star Safari, a fine read filled with evocative descriptions: "Khartoum, a city of tall white-robed men in thick Aladdin-like turbans and tall veiled woman in bright gowns and black gloves, was a place without rain, wide and brown like its intersecting rivers." Sometimes Mr. Theroux interrupts his narrative to recall a historical event that occurred in the place, or compares his observations with those of a writer visiting the same spot a hundred years before.
Traveling by cattle truck through northern Kenya, Mr. Theroux and his party were ambushed by shifta. "I don't want to die," he told a soldier, who shot back at the bandits and replied, "They don't want your life, bwana. They want your shoes." That thought is a centerpiece of the book: "Many times after that, in my meandering through Africa, I mumbled these words, an epitaph of underdevelopment, desperation in a single sentence. What use is your life to them? It is nothing. But your shoes-ah, they are a different matter."
One of Dark Star Safari's recurring themes is the witting or unwitting damage done to Africa by Western charities and other aid programs. "Agents of virtue" appear and reappear, whizzing by in their white Land Rovers, full of noble intentions and rarely questioning whether their aid is helping or hurting its recipients. Mr. Theroux describes aid workers staying in the best hotels, driving luxury vehicles, talking on cell phones, listening to their CDs, and refusing to give lifts to stranded travelers. Their aid allows African leaders to stay in power, indifferent to the needs of their people, and turns those people into "beggars and whiners."
Though Mr. Theroux saves his most scathing criticism for "agents of virtue," he doesn't like Christianity either. He records at length his conversation with a young woman on a mission in Mozambique. "Like all the other missionaries, Susanna was determined to bully Africans into abandoning their ancient pantheism." His diatribe against her real (and imagined) beliefs goes on for pages. But then the reporter reasserts himself, and he describes with admiration, and a bit of skepticism, the shelter for street kids that she runs in Maputo.
Dark Star Safari is not the last word on Africa. It will bother many people, especially those with a vested interest in keeping big charities well funded. For the chair-bound traveler, though, Mr. Theroux is a curious, brave, and sometimes abrasive guide, who raises questions that Christians and others must ask before contributing more money to relief and development programs that promise hope but create more despair.
Q: Let's start with the numbers. How many miles, how many days, how much money did you spend on your African adventure?
A: I didn't count the miles, but if you measure from Cairo to Cape Town, that's the distance. Miles mean nothing. In Africa everything is measured by time-"half a day's walk to town." My trip took about four months. Not much money, except for air fares to and from Africa.
Q: You were a Peace Corps volunteer in Malawi in the mid-'60s. Going back after 40 years, you found that what had changed had changed for the worse. Why is that?
A: I was a Peace Corps teacher from 1963 to 1965 in Malawi, and a regular English teacher in Malawi from 1965 to 1968. After so many decades, I expected some improvement, but I only concluded that things were worse when Africans themselves told me this was true. Of the many reasons for failure I would put demoralized people high on the list; also meddling from outside (unrealistic goals), untrained people, corruption, and the strong temptation of Africans to emigrate. Why bother to build your country when you can go to the USA?
Q: You save some of your sharpest language for professional helpers or "agents of virtue." How can well-meaning people cause so much trouble?
A: The road to underdevelopment is paved with good intentions. Computers for villages with no electricity, etc. The worst thing that aid does is destroy initiative and create a sense of entitlement.
Q: The UN, World Bank, and international relief and development agencies all spend billions of dollars, but seem to have created a culture of dependency. Your critique seems similar to that often made concerning the U.S. welfare system. Is that a fair analysis? What's the solution?
A: It is fair to try welfare or aid, but if in 40 years it has not made a difference and only creates a culture of dependency, perhaps try something else. I would distinguish between emergency aid (which is necessary) and aid schemes which are generally self-serving-"Let us build you an expensive road with American bulldozers, American supervisors, and an American company under contract."
Q: You traveled from the Muslim north through heavily Christianized countries like Malawi. Different religions, different worldviews. Do the differences show up in the treatment of women, attitudes toward life, work?
A: Not much difference. Women and children are treated like cheap labor in both Muslim and Christian countries in Africa; for example in Ethiopia, which has been Christian since about the year 333 a.d., and also got Muslims fairly early. I might add that there seems to be less race-consciousness in Islamic places.
Q: You don't much like Christian missionaries. Why?
A: Preaching that good hard-working innocent people are sinners, making them repent, making a virtue of suffering, promising better times in the afterlife-this sort of evangelism seems to me to subvert cultures, by making people despise themselves and their traditions.
Q: On the other hand, you seem to have met many Christians whom you admired. I'm thinking of Una Brownly, going home to Ulster on furlough, and the Drummond family in Zimbabwe. Maybe even the founders of your Malawi school? Have Christians done anything worthwhile in Africa?
A: A person is not good because he or she is a Christian or a Muslim. Goodness arises from a pure heart. Christians must see that it is arrogant to think that people must be "saved" by them. The people I met and liked in Africa, religious or not, had pure hearts and humility, a sense of joy, no anger.
Q: Sometimes your graphic descriptions seem at odds with your ideology. You fantasize and idealize about relaxed sexual mores. At the same time you describe African societies that have been decimated by the same thing. Couldn't Christians be right about the benefits of sex within marriage?
A: Fantasies are often at odds with the realities of life-that's why they are called fantasies. I agree that monogamy is desirable and even ideal. My prescription: Preach abstinence and monogamy but hand out condoms.
Q: You seem to think that Africans would be better off if they returned to their pagan roots. How so?
A: Why do you use this loaded word pagan? Pagan means no religion. But all African societies had gods and faith in them; a belief in an afterlife; a reverence for the dead. They were told that all this was wrong and that only Christ or Allah could save them. I think they were doing very well before. There are many people in the world who are managing quite well without missionaries.
Q: Your saddest experience?
A: Hearing that a government minister in Malawi had recently stolen the entire education budget of millions of dollars. And, with all respect, hearing a young woman tell me that she was heading for Mozambique and adding, "They're all sinners, you know."
Q: Scariest experience?
A: Being shot at by bandits in northern Kenya-but the positive side to this, and other scary experiences, was that I actually had something to write about in my book.
Q: Most joyful experience?
A: Getting to South Africa after months of travel and realizing that South Africa had been reborn as a multiracial country, with justice and freedom. It was not long ago that Nelson Mandela was vilified-by Dick Cheney, Margaret Thatcher, and many others who called him a "terrorist," "communist," and a criminal. Israel, Japan, Britain, and many other countries traded with the oppressive and racist South African government. South Africa would have been chaos without Mandela.
Q: Ever a moment when you thought, despite yourself, God made this place?
A: I don't know what or who made the universe. It would be presumptuous of me, and beyond my powers to say. Of course, I respect God-fearing people and I admire religious people who are able to listen to a different point of view.
I am just a traveler. Not official, no ax to grind, going the hardest and most revealing way-public transport all the way through Africa. I greatly appreciate your questions and am grateful to you for listening to me and taking an interest in my book.

One of the most lasting images frrom Sam Mendes' Skyfall was of s tiny, porcelain, Union Jack-covered bulldog. The relic - which originates from World War II - was one of the few things that survived the explosion in M's office, and was used rather perfectly symbolically throughout the film.

Adele To Perform Skyfall At This Year's Academy Awards

Instead the only on-stage number was a completely forgettable performance by Cirque du Soleil celebrating the year in movies. Luckily, the ceremony won't be dropping the ball again this year.

1940 Ford Coupe - Phoenix '40Written by on May 1, 2012 Tom Medley's Coupe Rises From The Ashes
As just about every rodder on the planet probably knows by now, Tom Medley, creator of Stroker McGurk and one of the patriarchs of our hobby, had a catastrophic garage fire. It destroyed that structure, along with most of its contents, and severely damaged his 1940 Ford coupe.
Fortunately no one was injured in the fire, but the coupe looked to be a write-off, but that was before Randy and Peaches Clark of Hot Rods & Custom Stuff became involved. Since they opened for business in 1989, the Clarks' operation has become known as one of the premier shops in the country. With 40,000 square feet of floor space and 30 employees, Hot Rods & Custom Stuff can do everything it takes to build a car in-house—their motto is: "We do it all and we do it right!"
After hauling the '40 to their facility in Escondido the first task was to determine the extent of the damage. The crew began the dirty job of cleaning out the charred debris from the interior. The body was stripped down to a bare shell and was then removed from the chassis and completely disassembled. With the exception of the hood, which was too far gone to save, all the sheetmetal parts were sandblasted, as was the frame. Any parts deemed usable were set aside, everything else went into a dumpster.
When a car has been in a severe fire the heat causes the sheetmetal to expand and buckle. If it's hosed down and cooled quickly the warped panels become hardened and difficult to work. Fortunately in Tom's case the fire retardant used didn't add to the damage, but every panel on the car was distorted.
As was expected after a thorough inspection, the conclusion was that from a cost effectiveness standpoint fixing this body was not feasible, replacing it was the only practical alternative. But then when were hot rodders practical? Fixing Tom's car was an emotional decision that probably defies logic, but Randy, Peaches, their crew, and a number of those in the business who recognize Tom's contribution to street rodding decided that rebuilding his car rather than replacing it was a fitting tribute to the man.
A number of major players in the industry have stepped up to help get Stroker back on the road, including Bob Drake, Classic Instruments, Edelbrock, the Jalopy Journal, Meza Automotive Paint, Lizard Skin, and Vintage Air. A special fund-raiser has also been organized. For more information, see Street Corner in the March issue of SRM, or check the following link at www.streetrodderweb.com/medley.

Nothing remained of the leather interior Tom stitched himself. Some of the damage that can't be seen are things like the springs in the window regulators and door mechanisms.The fire began in the engine compartment, and while many of the accessories were destroyed, the basic engine was determined to be salvageable.Here's an example of what happens when sheetmetal expands and has nowhere to go—it buckles. Repairing damage this severe is expensive, time consuming, and requires extraordinary talent.Due to the louvers, making the necessary repairs to the hood was impossible and will have to be replaced.
After hours of cleaning and sandblasting, the Hot Rods & Custom Stuff crew could begin saving Stroker's coupe.Tackling damage like this is not for the faint of heart. It will require every known metalworking technique to get this quarter-panel back in the proper shape.Damaged areas with compound curves, like the area around the back window, are particularly challenging to correct.The cowl vent had been filled previously—the seam in front of the original opening warped badly enough to separate from the firewall.The heated areas are compressed between a hammer and dolly to squeeze the metal's molecules back where they were.To determine the extent of the repairs necessary templates were taken off a pristine '39 coupe. Note how the trunk opening has sagged.Cooling the area faster than it was heated causes the area to shrink more than it expanded and "locks" the molecules in place.It's ironic that more fire is necessary to make repairs, but small areas approximately the size of a dime are heated cherry red.

FREEPORT (WIFR) -- Fresh from their trip to Tampa, Sensata workers are showing no signs of slowing down in the fight to save their jobs. Sensata workers say they will keep fighting for Mitt Romney to hear their plea as they protested outside of the Freeport plant this evening. Sensata workers were joined by Freeport mayor George Gaulrapp to announce that they are not giving up their fight to stop the outsourcing of jobs. Workers have traveled from Tampa to Iowa, to deliver their message personally to Romney. Now they want to get the support of people outside of the community. Tom Gaulrapp loses his job November 2nd. He says this is not just about him.
"I hope that we can continue to raise awareness for people, because we're not just trying to save our jobs here, we're trying to save our children's jobs, our grand children's jobs, our neighbor's jobs, the person in the next town's job, you know because this thing is running throughout America," said Gaulrapp.
Workers say they will keep fighting through the November election. Even with the support of Governor Quinn and Senator Durbin, Sensata workers have yet to hear anything from Mitt Romney. Workers will meet next week to figure out what they will do next. The Sensata plant will close at the end of the year.

For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate: oral capsule
Transient dizziness and skin rash can usually be eliminated by reducing the dose of acetaminophen/dichloralphenazone/isometheptene.[Ref]
Hypersensitivity side effects including transient dizziness and skin rash have been reported with the use of acetaminophen/dichloralphenazone/isometheptene. Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis and fixed drug eruptions have been reported rarely in association with acetaminophen use.[Ref]
Alcoholic patients may develop hepatotoxicity after even modest doses of acetaminophen. In healthy patients, approximately 15 grams of acetaminophen is necessary to deplete liver glutathione stores by 70% in a 70 kg person. However, hepatotoxicity has been reported following smaller doses. Glutathione concentrations may be repleted by the antidote N-acetylcysteine. One case report has suggested that hypothermia may also be beneficial in decreasing liver damage during overdose.
In a recent retrospective study of 306 patients admitted for acetaminophen overdose, 6.9% had severe liver injury but all recovered. None of the 306 patients died.
One study has suggested that acetaminophen may precipitate acute biliary pain and cholestasis. The mechanism of this effect may be related to inhibition of prostaglandin and alterations in the regulation of the sphincter of Oddi.
Cases of acute pancreatitis have been reported rarely with the use of acetaminophen.[Ref]
Hepatic side effects including severe and sometimes fatal dose dependent hepatitis have been reported with the use of acetaminophen in alcoholic patients. Hepatotoxicity has been increased during fasting.[Ref]
Gastrointestinal side effects have been rare with the use of acetaminophen except in alcoholics and after overdose.[Ref]
Renal side effects including acute tubular necrosis and interstitial nephritis have been rare with the use of acetaminophen. Adverse renal effects have been most often observed after overdose, after chronic abuse (often with multiple analgesics), or in association with acetaminophen-related hepatotoxicity.[Ref]
Acute tubular necrosis with acetaminophen use usually occurs in conjunction with liver failure, but has been observed as an isolated finding in rare cases. A possible increase in the risk of renal cell carcinoma has been associated with chronic acetaminophen use as well.
A recent case-control study of patients with end-stage renal disease suggested that long term consumption of acetaminophen may significantly increase the risk of end-stage renal disease particularly in patients taking more than two pills per day.[Ref]
Hematologic side effects including rare cases of thrombocytopenia associated with acetaminophen have been reported. Methemoglobinemia with resulting cyanosis has also been observed in the setting of acute overdose.[Ref]
Dermatologic side effects including erythematous skin rashes associated with acetaminophen have been reported rarely. Acetaminophen associated bullous erythema and purpura fulminans have also been reported.[Ref]
Respiratory side effects including a case of acetaminophen-induced eosinophilic pneumonia have been reported.[Ref]
Cardiovascular side effects including at least two cases of hypotension have been reported following the administration of acetaminophen.[Ref]
Two cases hypotension have been reported following the administration of acetaminophen. Both patients experienced significant decreases in blood pressure. One of the two patients required pressor agents to maintain adequate mean arterial pressures. Neither episode was associated with symptoms of anaphylaxis. Neither patient was rechallenged after resolution of the initial episode.[Ref]

If Democrats won, then why are the labor unions losing?
by Napp Nazworth
Newscast Media DETROIT, Michigan—A little over a month after Democrats retook the White House and gained seats in both houses of Congress, organized labor, a key part of the Democratic coalition, suffered a big loss in Michigan, a state President Barack Obama won by almost 10 percentage points.
On Tuesday, Michigan became a right-to-work state. Workers will no longer be required to pay union dues to maintain their job. Michigan follows Indiana, which made the same change earlier this year. But Michigan is more significant because, in many ways, Michigan can be considered the home of the labor movement.
If Democrats are doing so well at winning elections, why have labor unions suffered such big losses?
First, while Republicans performed poorly in federal elections, they have not done as poorly in state level elections. Most governors are Republican and Republicans hold a majority of state legislature seats.
"There was a mixed result on Nov. 6," Bill Ballenger, editor of Inside Michigan Politics, said about Michigan in a Tuesday interview on PBS' "Newshour." "Republicans still control state government. They've got an ironclad grip, from the governor's office, the statehouse, the state Supreme Court, the attorney general, the secretary of state."
Republicans will, though, have a slimmer majority in the state house next year, Ballenger pointed out, so "the window was closing" on their best opportunity to pass the law.
Second, with high unemployment, proposals aimed at increasing the number of jobs in a state become harder to oppose. States that do not have right-to-work laws generally have higher wages, but states that have right-to-work laws generally have lower unemployment. With that trade-off — higher wages versus more jobs — policy makers are likely driven to prefer more jobs under current economic conditions.
In a Wednesday interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Michigan Governor Rick Snyder said the main reason he signed the bill was to give workers freedom of choice, but a side benefit will be the additional jobs that will be created as a result. Since Indiana became a right-to-work state, Snyder claimed, 31 different companies moved to the state, partly because of the change, and have created thousands of jobs.
"The writing is really on the wall. As the economy has weakened, the right-to-work movement has strengthened," A.B. Stoddard, columnist for The Hill, said Tuesday on Fox News' "Special Report."
And third, opposing freedom of choice may simply be a losing argument in American politics.
"There is an interesting argument, in principle, about freedom of choice," conservative Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer said Tuesday on Fox News' "Special Report." "Democrats famously call themselves 'pro-choice.' That's only about aborting a fetus, but when it comes to choosing a school for your child, they are not in favor of that, and when it comes to choosing whether you should be forced into a union or not, they are not in favor. So it's a rather problematic and, I would say, unilateral claim to be pro-choice."

Mr. Chairman, I join you in welcoming Foreign Minister de Hoop Scheffer and thank him for his leadership as Chairman-in-Office of the OSCE. I also want to thank the Minister and his government for their hospitality in hosting the Annual Meeting of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly in Rotterdam in July.
The Foreign Minister has set a determined agenda for the Dutch chairmanship and I congratulate him on the concrete strides that have been made in implementing the Charter on Terrorism, on producing an action plan to combat trafficking in human beings, and on maintaining continuing focus on strengthening human rights and the rule of law. I also appreciate the Minister's support for convening the first high-level OSCE Conference on anti-Semitism held in Vienna, Austria, June 20, 2003 and strongly urge him to ensure that a follow-up meeting on anti-Semitism is held in Berlin next year.
The U.S. delegation, under the leadership of Chairman Smith, has sought to raise awareness of the rise in anti-Semitism in Europe and North America in the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, and to seek ways to combat this frightening trend. We have held several forums with our German colleagues--in Berlin in July 2002, in Washington, D.C. in December 2002 and in Vienna in February 2003. In Rotterdam this past July, the Parliamentary Assembly unanimously adopted the U.S. resolution on Combating anti-Semitism which calls on parliamentarians in OSCE participating States to strongly and publicly condemn anti-Semitic acts when they occur, to ensure effective law enforcement against criminal acts stemming from anti-Semitism, and to encourage education efforts throughout the OSCE region to counter anti-Semitic stereotypes and attitudes among younger people.
Mr. Chairman, we can never justify anti-Semitic actions by international developments or political issues. We need to have an action plan to fight anti-Semitism. We need to have strong laws that are adopted by our member States and enforced. We need educational programs for our children and we need to speak out against anti-Semitism as elected representatives and government officials. Silence is not an option, Mr. Chairman.
I strongly support further engagement and discussion with the OSCE Mediterranean Partners for Cooperation, which include Israel and Arab countries such as Egypt, Jordan, Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia, on the issue of anti-Semitism and on regional security. I am very eager to open a dialogue with our fellow parliamentarians in those nations in the near future. My resolution on the OSCE Mediterranean Dimension, adopted during the Annual Assembly in Rotterdam, calls on the Mediterranean Partners for Co-operation to adhere to the guiding principles contained in the Helsinki Final Act and to use the framework and mechanisms of the OSCE, including those devoted to conflict prevention and post-conflict rehabilitation, as a model for enhancing security, promoting co-operation, and protecting human rights in the region. I hope that the Dutch Chairmanship and its successors will support this effort.
Finally, Mr. Chairman, as you know, during the Parliamentary Assembly in Rotterdam my colleagues elected me to Chair the Committee on Economic Affairs, Science and Technology, for which I am deeply honored. I will be working closely with the Vice-Chair and Rapporteur of the Committee and members of the Assembly to focus our work on issues and strategies that will serve to enhance the economic and environmental dimension of the OSCE. I believe that the work of the Parliamentary Assembly should support and enhance the work of the OSCE and its missions. I therefore look forward to receiving the views of the Chair-in-Office on what contribution the OSCE can make to enhancing sustainable economic and environmental development throughout the region.
Again, I welcome Foreign Minister de Hoop Scheffer and look forward to his testimony.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Dear all,
I have successfully installed Zimbra 8.0 Opensource Edition on CEentOS 6.3 in my organization. Users are able to send and receive mails within the organization and are able to send e-mails to other domains for example google.com, yahoo.com, etc, but are not able to receive e-mails from other domains for example google.com, yhaoo.com, etc. Could you please advise me with a configuration to receive mails from other domains. I have the domain name form no-ip.org and a Sonicwall Firewall. the domain name is configured as dynamic dns in SonicWall
I would also like to add that as of now our e-mails are hosted by our ISP, and the users are using thunderbird configured using our ISP's POP and SMTP settings. Is there any way that I can configure ZCS 8.0 to use our current e-mail hosting settings to send and receive mails to and from other domains. I worked with MDaemon and found that it has MultiPOP option that will fetch mails from E-Mail Hosting Providers for each and every user. I am wondering if Zimbra has any such options.
Thank you in advance

News: Jazz Antigua Dance & Music Ensemble Comes to Campus Feb. 21
As part of its celebration of Black History Month, Pasadena City College is proud to present "Art of Jazz to Jazz: A Legacy in Music & Dance" featuring the Jazz Antigua Dance & Music Ensemble on Feb. 21, from 6 to 8 p.m. in Harbeson Hall.
Founded in 1993, Jazz Antigua Dance & Music Ensemble celebrates the jazz tradition as a vital thread in the cultural fabric of African-American history and heritage, and as a defining element of the American experience.
The company's mission is to increase awareness of and appreciation for jazz as an American legacy. Artistic director and choreographer Pat Taylor blends her love of jazz and blues music, as well as visual art and spoken word to create Jazz Antigua's own brand of jazz theater with a distinctive historical perspective.
This event is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Beverly Tate, campus diversity coordinator, at (626) 585-7653.
