WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- After taking and keeping his electoral college lead, President Obama pulled ahead of Mitt Romney in the popular vote overnight.
Charles Santangelo, a former White House Aide in both Democrat and Republican administrations, talked about how early on it looked like we could have a situation where the President would win the electoral count and Mitt Romney would win the popular vote -- and why that did not happen.
Santangelo also discussed whether this election called into question the utility of the electoral college or not, and a little about whether the second win for President Barack Obama shows we are living now in a Post-Racial America?

Hinton Heroes
(Des Moines) -- Twin brothers from Hinton were honored Friday at the Iowa State Fair for their heroism involving an accident on Highway 75. Cameron Pierce was presented the Lifesaving Award from Iowa Governor Terry Branstad during ceremonies held Friday. The Pierce brothers were traveling on Highway 75 south of Hinton last November when they witnessed an accident between a semi truck and a payloader.
Listen to
The brothers also provided aid to the driver of the pay loader. The semi driver, a man from Texas, survived the fiery crash and Cameron said he received a note from the man's wife days later.
Listen to
Cameron said. His brother, Riley, was unable to attend the awards ceremony at the Iowa State Fair. The traffic accident last November may've been a sample of what's to come for Cameron. The 20-year-old hopes to be a firefighter. Cameron recently graduated from Western Iowa Tech Community College with a degree in Fire Science.

1932 Ford Five-Window Coupe - Remembering The ApacheWritten by Chuck Vranas on December 1, 2009 George Veracka's '32 Ford Cut Down Five-Window Coupe
All of us have a story about the one that got away, not the fish but rather the hot rod. It's the car you knew deep down you should have never let go-but you did! Imagine being one of the lucky few who managed to hold onto their pride and joy through the decades of change.
For George Veracka of Stow, Massachusetts, time has indeed managed to stand still, at least when he climbs into his '32 Ford five-window coupe that he built over a three-year period that started in 1957. George was 15 years old when he came across the abandoned hot rod project in a local barn. Knowing the car had great potential, he made a deal and towed it home to a rented garage in Maynard, Massachusetts. George tells us that hot rodding was gaining a presence in his quiet town at the time, all the while trying to establish credibility among its residents. When local hot rod clubs would stop to assist fellow motorists in need, they would hand them courtesy cards before leaving. (George is an original member of the Drag-ons of Framingham, Massachusetts.)
A signature East Coast style, especially with coupes, were dramatic chop and channel jobs as well as meticulous body and paintwork. The project began by dismantling the car as he set to work on the chassis. To get the car low enough to achieve the look he wanted, George first Z'd the rear framerails, kicking it up 11 inches. He followed by installing a stock Deuce spring and wishbone controlled by a pair of Gabriel shocks.
Up front, he fabricated custom upper shock mounts as well as designing the suspension. He continued with a 4-inch dropped axle in conjunction with '40 Ford spindles and a matching pair of stock wishbones, which were treated to the chrome tank at South Shore Plating in Quincy. To ensure the car would have plenty of stopping power, he installed '40 Ford brakes all around combined with internal components from Bendix to complete the assembly. To get the chassis rolling, George bolted a set of Ford 15x5 steelies up front combined with 15x6 Ford rims out back. Sealing the deal, the front rims were treated to Prestige 5.60-15 whitewalls, while out back it's all business with a pair of M&H Racemaster 8.25-15 whitewall slicks.
At the time he was building the coupe, many hot rodders were updating their Flathead mills with an assortment of different V-8s for added power. George was no different. Wanting the car to hold its own on the streets and in the show arena, he decided a Cadillac engine would be perfect for the Deuce. George wasted no time in contacting Herb Torppa of Auto Machine Service in Maynard to build an engine. Starting with the block Herb increased displacement to 425 ci and filled it with the best components, including a custom crank and rods, 8.5:1 pistons, and an Iskenderian cam. To complement the beefy internals, Herb massaged a pair of '53 Cadillac heads, added Isky solid lifters, and finned aluminum valve covers. Induction is handled by an Offenhauser six-pot topped with a complement of Holley 94 carbs, while plenty of spark comes from a Spaulding Flamethrower ignition and dual Mallory coils. George fabricated the custom lakes pipes and 2-inch exhaust, letting the engine exhale properly. Completing the drivetrain, a '39 Ford transmission was filled with Lincoln Zephyr gears, while an 11-inch clutch and Schiefer flywheel transfer the goods via a custom driveshaft to a Columbia two-speed rear end.
With all the go power anchored in place, George tended to the body by chopping its lid 4 inches, while also channeling it over the 'rails 8 inches giving the car an unmistakable East Coast look. He also chopped the grille shell 4 inches and fabricated neat touches like the custom radiator supports that allow the engine to be showcased with an uncluttered look.
Once the body was ready, he disassembled the car and brought everything that needed gloss over to Central Autobody in Maynard to have it ironed smooth. Wanting a color that would really separate the car from the rest, George had Sam Sarvela lay down 14 hand-rubbed coats of DuPont '57 Chrysler Carnation Red lacquer. Once the car was in the final assembly stages, George contacted John Piecewicz, of Maynard, to stitch a memorable interior, featuring on-the-floor seating awash in yards of white Naugahyde accented by vibrant red button tufting. Giving the car its final personality, George filled the dash with nine Stewart Warner gauges as well as a Sun tach. A '40 Ford steering wheel navigates through a '40 Ford steering box while gearshifts pass through a custom-designed stick. Once George's coupe hit the scene in the early '60s it became extremely well known both as a hard charger and a looker. George tells us that some of the finest memories he has are from showing the car at the prestigious Hartford Autorama along with his great friend Mouse Mancini. Still rolling on its original tires, the car is a true time machine, showcasing some of the finest design elements that define an East Coast era. This is one car that will remain in the family for decades to come, as George's son Scott and granddaughter Grace all share the same passion, and we think that's just plain cool.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- James Wilder Jr. rushed for a pair of scores on Saturday night, and the Seminoles' second-ranked defense came up big in the closing minute, as No. 13 Florida State held off Georgia Tech, 21-15, to win the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship game at Bank of America Stadium.
Wilder carried the ball 10 times for 69 yards, while Devonta Freeman added 59 yards and a score on 13 carries to help Florida State (11-2) earn its 13th ACC championship in school history and a berth in the Orange Bowl.
EJ Manuel finished 16-of-21 for 134 yards, but threw an interception late in the fourth quarter to give Georgia Tech one final shot at a go-ahead touchdown.
Yellow Jackets quarterback Tevin Washington then led his squad near midfield by converting a 4th-and-1 with a 5-yard surge, but Florida State defensive back Karlos Williams intercepted Washington's next pass and returned it 41 yards to the Georgia Tech 4 to seal the victory.
Washington finished just 4-of-14 for 76 yards, but added 20 rushing yards and a score on 10 carries for Georgia Tech (6-7), which finished with the same record as Miami-Florida in the ACC Coastal, but earned a berth in the title game because of the Hurricanes' self-imposed sanctions.
David Sims rushed for 91 yards on 19 carries in the setback.

Lindsay H. Jones, USA TODAY Sports
NEW ORLEANS - San Francisco 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver said Thursday morning he would accept a gay teammate as he apologized for homophobic comments he made earlier this week on a national radio show's podcast.
"Everyone is treated equally in our locker room," Culliver said.
Culliver previously told radio host Artie Lange that gay players would not be accepted.
"Ain't got no gay people on the team. They gotta get up outta here if they do. Can't be with that sweet stuff," he said in the interview taped on Tuesday.
Culliver was swarmed by reporters at the 49ers' media availability Thursday morning. He said he spoke with head coach Jim Harbaugh after his comments. Culliver said he made the comments in a joking manner.
"I was really not thinking. Or, something I thought, but not something that I feel in my heart," Culliver said.
Culliver said he did not see the reaction to his comments on Twitter, nor did he talk about them or the backlash with teammates.
"I'm not trying to bring any distraction to the team. We're trying to win a Super Bowl," Culliver said.
Harbaugh, who spoke with reporters before Culliver did, seemed to offer support to the embattled player.
"I do believe that there wasn't malice in his heart. He's not that kind of person. He's not an ugly person, he's not a discriminating person," Harbaugh said. "He may have heard talk like that and may have thought that that those were opinions that he learned and repeated those. He regrets that. That's not who he is. That's not what he really believes."
Harbaugh spoke with Culliver about the comments, and though the coach declined to detail what they spoke about, Harbaugh said he believes Culliver will "learn and grow" from the experience. The comments were met with massive backlash, and the team yesterday issued a strong statement condemning Culliver's comments.
"I think it took this incident, to hear those words being said by him, to see them written down on paper for him to realize they were hurtful and ugly and I think, I know, that he's taken that to heart," Harbaugh said. "I really believe that this is something he'll learn and grow from."
Culliver's comments are rooted from news Monday that former 49ers offensive tackle Kwame Harris was in court for a pretrial appearance on charges that he assaulted a former boyfriend. Harris last played for the Niners in 2007, but many of his former teammates offered him support Tuesday at media day.

Only AMD Radeon™ Dual Graphics combines two powerful Radeon™ DirectX 11.2-enabled graphics processors to provide the ultimate gaming performance boost when you need it. Experience gaming at higher resolutions with greater image quality and boost visual performance when you combine a Quad-Core AMD APU for desktops with the AMD Radeon™ HD graphics card.1
A8 – 76x0
*May not be applicable to all product and graphics device pairings. For more information if AMD Dual Graphics is supported on your configuration please contact the manufacturer.
A1: AMD Radeon™ Dual Graphics is an innovative technology exclusive to AMD platforms that allows AMD APUs and select AMD Radeon™ discrete graphics cards to work together. When combined, the platform delivers stunning high definition and DirectX® 11.2 and DirectX® 10 capabilities that are better than either device alone. Currently, AMD Radeon™ Dual Graphics is supported on the AMD A-Series APUs in conjunction with select AMD Radeon™ R7 series and AMD Radeon™ HD 6000 series graphics cards used under the Microsoft Windows 7 operating system.
A2: Go to
http://www.amd.com/dualgraphics and review the Notebook and Desktop tabs to see the recommended discrete graphics card pairings for your APU.
A3: To take advantage of AMD Radeon™ Dual Graphics, you must use a compatible AMD A-Series APU to pair with your supported AMD Radeon™ R7 series card. After installation of your graphics card, visit the AMD Graphics Drivers and Software Page, to download andinstall the latest AMD graphics drivers. After driver installation, the option to enable AMD Radeon™ Dual Graphics should become available in the AMD Catalyst Control Center.
Once installed, go into the "Performance" section of the AMD Catalyst Control Center and check the box that says "Enable Crossfire™." This will allow the AMD A-Series APU graphics to work in tandem with the select AMD Radeon™ R7 series GPU installed for increased graphics performance.
A4: For best performance, AMD recommends plugging the display into your discrete graphics card. This will ensure that even applications that do not take advantage of AMD Radeon™ Dual Graphics will still be able to run on the faster graphics card in your system. However, to be more accurate, we recommend that you plug your monitor into the AMD Radeon™ graphics with the higher model number. If that is your APU, plug into the motherboard, if it is your discrete graphics card, plug into that.

AMD encourages users to take advantage of these and numerous other innovations that have come to market recently by upgrading system hardware.
AMD Radeon™ HD R7 series graphics, found in both AMD A-Series APUs and discrete video cards, are designed to deliver the best possible DirectX® 11.2 experience. As such, the dual graphics performance increase is applicable to select DirectX® 11.2- and DirectX® 10-enabled applications. For DirectX® 9 applications, the combined performance will be disabled and the fastest graphics engine will perform those tasks; however, users will still experience the speed and performance of AMD Radeon™ graphics.
A6: AMD Radeon™ Dual Graphics will support AMD Eyefinity technology as long as your discrete GPU supports AMD Eyefinity technology and monitors are plugged into the discrete GPU outputs.
A7: AMD Radeon™ Dual Graphics is a form of AMD CrossFireX™ technology, and, with the current solution, only displays from the "master" graphics device (the one that monitors are plugged into) are available. The other displays are disabled. To ensure your displays remain available, make sure to connect your displays to the "master" graphics device. The "master" device settings can be found in the AMD Catalyst Control Center, which is the user interface for the drivers and installation package.
Additional hardware (e.g. HD or 4K monitor, USB, 3.0 ports, wirelessly enabled HDTV) and/or software (e.g. multimedia applications and/or Wi-Fi access) are required for the full enablement of some features. HD/4K Video display requires an HD/4K video source. Not all features may be supported on all components or systems - check with your component or system manufacturer for specific model capabilities and supported technologies.

But the Wizards' worst start in franchise history remains intact after the
Atlanta Hawks prevailed in overtime, 101-100, at Philips Arena.
Kyle Korver drained the last of his five 3-pointers to put Atlanta ahead with

Coming out of a timeout, Washington's Kevin Seraphin fired up a hook shot from
the elbow that was short. Martell Webster secured the ball in mid-air and
appeared to stun the Hawks with his putback.
However, replays showed Webster still had possession when the backboard became
The Wizards became the 13th team in NBA history to lose their first 10 games.

Looks nice. Not knowing the background I find the "to Coyote" line irritating. Also, one tiny suggestion: Add the stars' spectral class to the info in the upper left corner. Other than that, I got nothing.
This is a map of the starting star system from the video game Independence War 2: Edge of Chaos. The style is similar to the in game navigation system, though I used simpler geometric shapes instead of object silhouettes.
I'm starting up a Traveller game soon, and I decided to rip off the video game rather than generate my own environment at first. Plus, there doesn't seem to be a map of Hoffer's Wake out there anywhere, so hopefully fans of the game will find it useful.
I plan to make additional detail maps of the various planetary orbits over the next week or so, as well as deckplans of select asteroid bases and space stations, and ground maps of settled moons and planets.
At the moment, the scale is wildly inaccurate. I haven't decided yet if I want to spend the time to actually survey the system or just disclaim any pretentions toward accurate scaling.
Oh, and since I intend to eventually display this to my players via MapTool on my television, it's been designed to HDTV standards.
Looks nice. Not knowing the background I find the "to Coyote" line irritating. Also, one tiny suggestion: Add the stars' spectral class to the info in the upper left corner. Other than that, I got nothing.
You know some sticklers will come by and say "dude, your scale is way off". So if you decide to forgo that then put the disclaimer on there nice and big.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
-J. Robert Oppenheimer (father of the atom bomb) alluding to The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 11, Verse 32)
My Maps ~ My Brushes ~ My Tutorials ~ My Challenge Maps
Well, if I don't fix it, I'll take it off entirely.
bart: Any particular reason you think the stars' spectral classes are important enough to list there? I can't think of any effect they'd have on gameplay, but maybe I'm overlooking something. The rest of that information is standard Traveller data.
As for the "to Coyote" line, I'm not sold on it myself. The reasoning is that there is only one system, Coyote, within range of a typical jump drive. The line indicates the direction of that star, and the endpoint at Blackeye indicates the presence of a Lagrange point that can be used to make the journey. Actually, there's another near Alexander that will go on the map that I prepare for the IWar community, unless I just take them off entirely.
One other tweak I think it needs is to differentiate the background of the callout a little bit. I'll probably also put the obscured lines back in, but reduce their opacity even further where they go underneath.
When I got to looking at the distances on the map, I realized that I needed a logarithmic scale. I took out the jump route indicator, which not only reduces confusion but also leaves me a bit more flexibility if I decide not to use the rest of the Badlands Cluster as published. The type on the scale is a bit too tiny, considering the superscript, but I haven't decided if I want to increase the resolution or bump up the type size.
3nfd version is much better.
The spectral class etc - well I figured, that's the main thing that describes a star, right? what size and what color is it? So if you have an info box, that should probbaly be part of it. The basic traveller Universal world profile is nice for what it was designed back in the 70s, but it's really too simplistic once you deal with one system.
Hmmm… I think whoever set this game up didn't do the math. The most generous numbers show the orbital period of Griffon being a little more than half a day and the surface temperature of the planet being, at a minimum, 1300 degrees C. There are numerous space stations orbiting Griffon, which given those conditions, I just don't find very likely. I'll finish out the map as it is for the I-War fans, but then do some adjustments for my Traveller version.
Alright, I think this is as far as I'm going to take this one. I've got the style fairly well nailed down, and I want to get moving on other charts.
I really like this map, Mid. It's clean and easy to follow. Love the colour choices too.
Yes indeed, that looks mighty fine to me, Mid. As ravs said, clean and easy to follow, and you probably made the right call in saying that you weren't going to take it any further as there really doesn't seem to be any need to take it further.
When nothing is going right and you can't find someone else to blame, start beating your head against the wall, 'cause it'll feel so much better when you stop.

Then at 11am the official trick-or-treating begins at the Olsen Cultural Event Center. A couple dozen businesses that are located away from downtown will all be set up right there at the Events Center. After making the rounds there, kids and their parents can proceed from there to go door-to-door downtown.

Fired Bank Employee Says He Won't Return To Work
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A 68-year-old Des Moines man fired from Wells Fargo Home Mortgage over a minor crime 50 years ago says he won't accept an offer to return to work unless the company changes
its background checks policy.
Richard Eggers says the policy discriminates against low-level workers. He was fired in July for putting a cardboard cutout of a dime in a washing machine at a Laundromat in 1963.
Banks have been firing employees like Eggers since new federal banking and mortgage employment guidelines were enacted. The regulations are aimed at bank employees guilty of identity theft or
money laundering.
Wells Fargo spokeswoman Vickee Adams says the company is disappointed Eggers rejected the job offer and didn't recognize its "responsibility to apply the law equitably and fairly" for all employees.
Landfill Fire May Be More Expensive Than Previously Estimated
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - A city official says the damage from the Iowa City landfill fire is worse than expected.
Project engineer Dan Scott says that the assessment is continuing, but "it's not good news."
He estimated the total damage costs at $5 million.
Crews on Wednesday used a remote-controlled camera to inspect underground piping. Scott says at least one 600-foot pipe will likely need to be replaced rather than repaired.
He says it's still not clear whether the city insurance policy will cover any of the damage.
The fire began May 26 on roughly 7 1/2 acres, primarily in an unused portion. The fire spread to a layer of shredded tires used for drainage. The fire cause hasn't been determined.
Iowa Parks Hope To Make Improvements
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Armed with results from a user survey, state park supporters intend to proceed with a public-private effort to improve Iowa's 87 state parks.
The Iowa Parks Foundation said at a Capitol news conference on Wednesday that its mail survey of more than 1,200 Iowans found 79 percent of those who responded said they'd visited a state park in
the past two years. And 74 percent indicated the desire for more
trails in the parks.
Foundation leaders and Gov. Terry Branstad say it's too early to put a dollar figure on the work. But state parks division head Kevin Szcodronski says the total easily could run into hundreds of millions of dollars.
The foundation will team with an architectural and planning firm on plans for getting the parks in top condition.

Increase Usable Space with Garage Planning
If you've decided to build a detached garage, take some time to do a little planning ensuring you'll get the most out of your new garage in terms of storage and function. Below are a few steps that will help you get started planning the construction of your new garage.
1. Select a builder and seek his or her advice. Have the builder measure your lot or the available space to be used for the garage making sure you find a design that fits appropriately on the lot.
2. Discuss the purpose and function of your new garage with your builder. Knowing how you plan to use your garage may determine what size the garage should be or what features the garage must have.
3. Plan ahead. Think about the future. Will you need extra storage space 10 years from now? Do you plan to store tools, bikes, sports equipment later? Will you be purchasing a third car when your teenager starts driving? Consider these possibilities. Maybe a 3-car garage would be a better choice than a 2-car garage in the future.
4. Check with your local government and find out if you must obtain a building permit. Ask for a list of building requirements up front so you know what is expected when it is time to build.
5. Select a garage plan to satisfy your needs and ask the builder to provide a building estimate.
6. Purchase your garage plans.
7. Obtain building permits.
Once you've completed these steps, you'll be ready to begin construction. With thorough planning, you'll be well on your way to enjoying your new garage.

New Bern�s renowned Southern Gentlemen Barbershop Chorus recently sang at a regional barbershop competition and came away with the award as Most Improved Chorus.
The Gentlemen, under the direction of B.J. Oglesby, is a Capella men�s chorus. The chorus sings four-part harmony in the Barbershop style. The New Bern chapter is part of the Barbershop Harmony Society.
The competition was held in Myrtle Beach, and the honor �was a measure of how much the chorus had progressed from similar contests that the chorus had appeared in over the past few years,� according to a Southern Gentlemen release.
The chorus is familiar around the area for events such as its annual fundraiser concert and its Valentine�s Day personalized serenades for area couples and military wives.
The chorus is always looking for men who like to sing. There is no requirement that a singer in the chorus has to be able to read music.
The chorus also welcomes the public to join the singers at rehearsals.
Practice is each Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Cornerstone Assembly Church on U.S. 70 East.

Ned Yost media session: June 6
Relax, Zack
According to Yost, Zack Greinke has been pressing too much and has been trying to be perfect every pitch, which was especially evident in Greinke's last outing. Yost believes the pitcher needs to stay within himself and not force his pitches, like Luke Hochevar did last night when he softened up instead of muscling up. Yost told Greinke to focus on controlling what he can control and just take a half step back and let his stuff work.
Forget about it
After allowing three runs on three hits last night, there were some concerns regarding Blake Wood and his ability to bounce back. Yost, however, has no doubts. He believes Wood has incredible poise and won't be affected by yesterday's outing. In fact, Yost said he'd be shocked if there were any lingering issues.
He can do it all
Yost also discussed Willie Bloomquist's start in left field. The utility man will be replacing Scott Podsednik for the day, so Podsednik can essentially get two days rest since tomorrow is an off day. Bloomquist will also be replacing Podsednik in the lead off spot, which Yost feels very comfortable with because Bloomquist has a very professional approach, has been hitting the ball well, can steal bases, and is overall a complete player.
2010 Draft
There were also a couple questions concerning the upcoming draft, but Yost quickly responded by saying he's just trying to win baseball games and has no idea who the Royals are looking at.

Shimano put the X in XTR.
The Shimano XTR BR-987 is the lightest hydraulic disc brake to hit the XTR line. It features the same command and control as the 985 while burning off 40 grams per wheel. And if you gave the 985's a try, you find that Shimano carried over a pension for serious racing and cross country duty in the new BR-987.
At the control end of the brake, the lever blade is carbon with titanium caliper bolts for a snug fit at the recommended torque. It's also dimpled for extra grip. This version foregoes the free stroke adjustment, as it adds some complexity and a few grams to the lever set. However, they do retain a reach adjustment so that you can dial them to fit your hands and preferences. The master cylinder was designed from magnesium and the svelte I-spec lever body keeps your handlebars clutter-free.
In comparison with the previous XTR's radial master cylinder design, this 987 XTR master cylinder is far different. For starters, the integrated barrel reservoir sits along and atop the master cylinder which is positioned at a tangent to the bar rather than straight out from it. Sizewise, these levers are much lower profile, but more importantly, the movement of the lever pivot towards the bar creates a more ergonomic design. In essence, the arc of the lever optimizes your natural finger movement and position of strength with the point in the lever travel where your power is transferred through the system to the caliper.
The caliper of the BR-987 was also constructed of magnesium. This two-piece design adds stiffness while at the same time dropping weight — and unbeatable combination. It also manages heat build-up more effectively especially when used in combination with Shimano's proprietary IceTech rotors.
The Shimano XTR BR-987 are available separately as right or left levers with calipers and have hinged, split clamps for easy mounting. They come as pre-bled lever/caliper/hose assemblies and are complete for each end of the bike except for rotors (sold separately). Shimano XTR Brakes will work equally well with XTR Ice Tech Rotors or the more standard XT 6-bolt rotors. I-spec B compatible. Please Note: If you plan to run 180mm or bigger rotors, you may need to also purchase the proper Shimano caliper adapters. Check your frame and fork compatibility to determine your needs.

Less power than XT brakes
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
So far I've been very disappointed with these brakes. I replaced my Shimano XT BL-M785 with these brakes and upgraded my wife's brakes with the XTs. Unfortunately the XTRs have a lot less power, I'm constantly over shooting corners and my hands go numb from squeezing the levers so hard. I had my fingers crossed the pads needed an extra long time to wear in but that was not the case. I did a lot of trouble shooting and bled the brakes twice. I started by swapping out the pads with pads that were on brakes that worked and this didn't help. I have 4 sets of Shimano brakes, 2 XT BL-M785's and an older Shimano XTR BR-985, all of these have Shimano resin pads paired with either XT or XTR rotors and all three work great.
The levers on my new 987s feel great and are not spongy, it doesn't seem possible Shimano would upgrade their brakes to weigh less yet sacrifice power. I can see having one defective brake but not a pair of bad brakes. I'm stumped, anybody have any suggestions before I return these brakes?
So far , so good
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I use these on my Xc race bike. They perform flawlessly. For non-race situations, the trail version is a better all around brake. For a lightweight, reliable brake, this is the go-to race brake

Hi there, we have been hacked. I wonder if anyone could help get to the bottom of it. Mails have been sent out from addresses that do not exist within zimbra. (ra@ourdomain, co@ourdomainde@ourdomain ,ki@ourdomain ,lu@ourdomain , by@ourdomain, cy@ourdomain) I have no idea how they have been sent.. the only reason i knew there was a problem at first was a number of users reported they had bounce messages for things they had not sent. It turns out they were members of a list (NUT@our domain). the sever has had its network cable unplugged but, i can still see things that are being added to the queue.
Can I make it so zimbra will only send mail when a user has Authenticated and has a valid address? What is the best way to diagnose if there is a virus or if there is an account
Using IMAP over ssl. Can a user send mail without authenticating?
I have looked through log file after log file but am lost as to making anything tally..
Please help. We are a high school that starts term on monday -(
Thanks in advance

Testimony :: Honorable Christopher H. Smith
Co-Chairman - Helsinki Commission
During and after the Second World War, millions of people fled Central and Eastern Europe to escape Nazi and communist persecution. Most of them lost everything they and their families had earned and built over generations, including homes, businesses, and artwork. In addition, totalitarian regimes seized tens of thousands of communal properties from religious and ethnic communities. For more than a decade now post-communist countries in Central and Eastern Europe have grappled with the question of how to redress these wrongful confiscations of property.
Since the early 1990s, the Helsinki Commission has monitored the property restitution and compensation efforts being made by post-communist governments. I have personally raised concerns with officials from many countries regarding the need for non-discriminatory laws that are faithfully implemented. Today's meeting is the third Helsinki Commission hearing to examine these issues.
Central and East European Governments have done much regarding property restitution that is commendable. In particular, the return of communal properties to Jewish communities which were decimated during World War II has been undertaken to some extent in every country. Catholics and some other religious congregations in the region have also been able to regain some of what they lost under atheistic communist regimes. Many countries have also passed laws to govern the return of properties to individuals—no small achievement.
Nonetheless, the Helsinki Commission continues to receive a steady stream of letters from individuals and organized groups pleading for assistance in their struggles to recover expropriated properties. The common thread in these letters is that despite the laws enacted and the positive efforts that have been made, these governments still cannot bring themselves to part with most of the loot stolen by their undemocratic predecessors.
Governments seeking membership in western institutions want to be perceived as reform governments by passing a private property restitution law or by touting their efforts to return communal properties. Upon closer examination, however, one finds lackluster the implementation of the laws, or exceptions to restitution which severely limit the properties that can be returned, or bureaucratic hurdles that governments lodge before every person who actually makes a claim.
Restitution laws are specifically undermined through discriminatory citizenship requirements which often deny restitution or compensation to individuals who left the country under previous regimes. This has been a problem in Lithuania and Croatia, but is most stark in the Czech Republic where the citizenship requirement for restitution discriminates almost exclusively against individuals who lost their Czech citizenship because they chose the United States as their refuge from communism as opposed to any other country. The bilateral treaty which led to this loss of citizenship has not been in force in the United States since the 1960s, but the Czech Republic refused to abrogate the treaty until 1997—after the final deadline for seeking restitution under the Czech law had passed.
Property restitution cases are also undermined by the serious rule of law problems in many countries. Thousands of property claimants who have brought their restitution claims to domestic courts discovered that the governmental entities which stand to lose possession of claimed properties will delay legal proceedings for years and will repeatedly appeal decisions favorable to claimants. Moreover, the courts have failed to play a constructive role in the restitution process, often allowing proceedings to drag on for years and ultimately failing to resolve cases in a manner that actually results in the return of wrongfully confiscated property. An extreme example of this occurred in Romania in the mid-1990s when hundreds of court decisions in favor of property claimants were reversed by the Supreme Court after they had become final and irrevocable judgments. The European Court of Human Rights has recently ruled that these actions violated the European Convention on Human Rights.
Art restitution cases further illustrate the reluctance to part with looted property. In the Czech Republic a law provides for the return of looted artwork. In several cases, a Czech museum or court has recognized a ownership claim to artwork seized by the Nazis. When the government becomes aware of the intention to return the artwork to the rightful owner's heir, the government declares the artwork a national treasure that cannot be removed from the country. While the cultural patrimony excuse may indeed be a legally accurate reason for not returning the property, I would suggest that the Czech Government rethink any policy which would build the country's collection of national treasures on property that came into the Czech Government's possession only because of Nazi persecution and plundering.
At the end of the day, the property claims of thousands of people, including Americans citizens, remain unresolved in more than a dozen countries of Central and Eastern Europe. While we will not hear testimony today from every affected ethnic group or regarding every country that is grappling with these issues, we are dealing with basic principles that have application beyond the countries that will be highlighted by our witnesses.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
It all began with a television producer's phone call asking KraftMaid to help a deserving family in need of a fresh start. Seasons later, we are proud to remain the exclusive cabinetry provider of ABC's award-winning program, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
Episode 10Walker Family
Sirdeaner Walker is no stranger to grief. A cancer survivor who directs homeless programs, she faced the worst possible situation for a mother—the loss of a child. Eleven-year-old Carl Walker killed himself at home after being bullied at school, devastating his family.
Though they continue to grieve, they have turned their tragedy into an anti-bullying movement. With her other children and with her mother Dorras and sister Barbara, with whom they share the house, Sirdeaner now fights to change laws and educate the community to put a stop to bullying and cyber bullying. But they can't bring themselves to return to the top floor of the house where Carl's body was found, and the house has had a number of structural and plumbing problems for years.
To honor their work and give them a fresh start, Ty and the team head to Massachusetts to build the Walker family a new home. Among the features of this new house are beautiful KraftMaid cabinets. Arlington Miter (ALC) Cherry cabinets in Vintage Onyx beautify the kitchen. The two bathrooms include Templeton Square (AA0M2) Maple and Malibu Slab (ML) Maple cabinetry, both in Dove White.

Goodguys Indy Speedway Nationals PHR Street Challenge Autocross - Kicking AsphaltWritten by Johnny Hunkins on February 1, 2012 PHR's Street Challenge Autocross heads to Indy for the Goodguys first Speedway Nationals
Just when you think classic cars are "old," something changes your perspective. After all, the '32 Ford—that stalwart staple of hot rodding—is something like 79 years ancient. Similarly, the '55 Chevy has 56 trips around the sun under its belt, and the '69 Camaro has a relatively scant 42 years on the clock. By some yardstick, you can make the argument that our favorite cars are genuinely old, but you'd be hard-pressed to say they're over the hill. Please take that into consideration while you ponder that when the Indianapolis Motor Speedway opened in 1909, the '32 Ford was 23 distant years in the future, and Oklahoma had only been a state for two years.
The Brickyard is the granddaddy of all things fast on four wheels, so when the Hulman family loosened its talon grip on the speedway for Goodguys we decided to make the pilgrimage. A tip of the hat is in order to the Goodguys Rod & Custom Association for dreaming it could be done, then making it happen. As you might imagine, this ain't the easiest venue to book. Fortunately, it means that the fourth stop in our five-event PHR Street Challenge Autocross series could take place where Louis Chevrolet won some of his earliest races. (You get extra points if you knew he did it in a Buick.) OK, the autocross wasn't on the track itself, but we did get to kick asphalt on a parking lot just behind a concession stand somewhere on the infield a stone's throw away from Gasoline Alley. The Hulman family might be uptight, but they're not stupid.
For 2011, we have sponsored five Goodguys Street Challenge Autocrosses, starting with Dallas, then moving to Nashville and Columbus. Indy was our fourth, which happened the weekend of September 16 - 18. (Our final PHR Autocross will go down at Del Mar, California, on Thanksgiving weekend.) So what's the difference between your ordinary Goodguys Autocross and a PHR Street Challenge event? Outside of the fact that it's a far more closely guarded secret, we actually give the fastest gunslinger a fancy custom embroidered winner's jacket. (Our first three winners are still scratching their heads, mumbling, "I won what? Can I just have cash?")
At least one other guy there knew about the PHR Autocross besides myself, and that was photographer Robert McGaffin, aka Bobby Mack, aka Rabahito Maganishi, aka Roberto Macafino. After finding out IMS officials wouldn't let him take pix inside the track (too many aliases maybe?) McGaffin ditched his camera and decided to take it out on Project Olds. Mack really had those Nitto tires screaming around Indy—OK, behind the concession stand—and did damn well, considering he drove it all the way from Wisconsin. And it's Olds powered. (Hey Rob, even if you had won, correctness dictates we can't give you the jacket. Gotta give him props for trying though.)
When IMS yellow-shirts finally chased us off the property, Mark Rife of Carolina Beach, North Carolina, had won "the jacket" with his impeccably prepared homebuilt '63 split-window Vette. This thing screams cool, with its flared wheelwells, huge tires (315s—on the front!), modern LS7 artillery, five-speed Tremec, and functional C4 suspension bits. And Rife is one hell of a driver too. McGaffin got all the shots for a feature we'll have for you soon. Now it's on to Del Mar!
Attack of the DSE Army
Kyle and Stacy Tucker of Detroit Speed & Engineering really love testing their products on track! They have not one, but four classic Chevy test cars in their stable: Kyle favors the '70 Camaro (the top car here at Indy) while Stacy is partial to her '69 Camaro. Both share duties on the '63 Nova. With the trailer packed to the gills, the '65 Chevelle stayed at home this trip.

Keith Zanone came from Wooster, Ohio, with his immaculate '72 Javelin. Except for some Billet Specialties wheels, the 304ci automatic-equipped AMC is all stock.It seems like everywhere we go we see Lloyd Gaskins' '57 Bel Air four-door sedan. It might not be the fastest thing on four wheels, but this guy drives the tires off this thing! Lloyd and his wife, Venessia, hail from Fulton, Kentucky.Mark Greenisen was in charge of the Schwartz Performance '65 Tempest on this weekend, making it the seventh fastest car in attendance. The LS6-powered T56-equipped A-body is the perfect track rat with its hot rod black coat.We hung around Sam Matchett's '55 Chevy in the pit area to ask him about his Tri-Five, but couldn't find him anywhere. We can only guess what lurks within his Two-Lane Blacktop–inspired ride.The look on Phil Gerber's face says it all as he plows Chris Jacob's Roadster Shop chassis-equipped '66 Chevelle through the cones on the ultra-tight righthand hairpin. The Indy course was on the long side, which isn't the same as saying it was a fast course. Drivers here were best rewarded with a slow, thoughtful approach.Not technically in the Street Machine category, Diz Demes wields his '72 Chevy El Camino through the cone forest, impressing us enough to grab this shot. The front-heavy "truck" packs a 502-inch big-block and 700-R4 trans.Debbie Farrington is not your ordinary housewife. When your backyard is stacked with a couple dozen Chevelles, chances are you're going to be wheeling one as your daily driver. Her family wagon packs an ample 327 small-block and 200-R4 overdrive. We dig those 17-inch steelies!
McGaffin and I couldn't resist taking a spin in Project Olds on Indy's famous Brickyard. It was a pace car lap, but McGaffin still got the speed up enough for us to get a feel for the famous track.We felt empathy for Dan Swanson, as he was one of several Goodguys members who either had their cars vandalized or stolen at Indy. (Our rental car included.) Fortunately, the thieves did only minor damage to the door and stereo of Dan's mint '71 Chevelle convertible.Ryan Fultz won our photography contest last month, which we knew—but didn't divulge—when we met him in Indy. (Sorry, for not letting you in on the secret Ryan, but fair is fair!) Fultz's Raspberry Pearl '68 Chevelle is a thing of beauty without being a wallet buster. Over the 20 years Fultz has owned it, the Malibu has picked up a 383ci stroker small-block, TKO five-speed, an AGR quick-ratio steering box, Hotchkis springs, and Baer brakes. Fultz did all the work himself, but he'll need some help putting on that new set of Nitto tires he won last month.Street Challenge Autocross winner, Mark Rife, put together the winning lap with his homebuilt '63 Corvette, besting some really heavy competition. Rife's unfair advantage is his experience in NCC, SCCA, HSR, and NASA competition—and his car-building chops.There's something sinister about Mike King's '72 Camaro with its blacked-out wheels, blacked-out trim, and black hood. The ZZ383 crate motor with FAST EFI is mated to a Turbo 400; suspension goodies come from Hotchkis and the brakes are Wilwood.When Ryan Petree filled out the tech sheet on his '60 Chevy Bel Air, under the section "Unique visual identifiers" he put "Don't need any!" Under drag racing e.t., he put: "slow e.t. at slow mph." Under front suspension: "Billy Bob cut springs." Brakes? "You don't wanna know." Get the idea he's some kind of comedian? The junkyard 305 small-block and Turbo 350 are just fine according to him, and who are we to disagree? It oozes cool, and we want to get our hands on this mint survivor in the worst sort of way.

That's some great stuff there, Ascension. Thanks!
So I've spent the past few days working on making house brushes for the purpose of uploading them here. It occurred to me that people would also have to know how to use them properly or else they'd be appalled at the results. Since I was going to have to explain how to do that I figured that I'd just make a tut on how to make the brush in the first place as well as how to use it. So here ya go.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Hello everybody,
I just installed new appliance ver 8.0.3 and I was surprised to notice that in the VM 9 hard discs have been created (!).
Since I need to configure this appliace to be put into production-real environment I would start the install by properly size disc volumes.
Considering that I have 200 accounts, all of them using IMAP with max mailbox size set at 2GB, I want to size the messagge partition at 500GB.
The question is: how does the procedure reported on page 14 of the Installation Guide (Adding storage to the zimbra appliance) changes?
I'm getting confused with all these non-documented changes...
Thanks in advance for your help.

BELLAIRE - In his fourth season at his alma mater, Jose Davis continues to weave his magic wand around Nelson Field as Bellaire is making a return to being a competitive program.
The former all-state quarterback guided his Big Reds to a 5-5 record last season, that coming on the heels of a 6-4 campaign in 2010. However, after a slow start, they rebounded to win four of their last five before dropping the season-finale to storied rival Martins Ferry.
With a bevy of skilled athletes and large linemen back in the fold, big expectations are once again expected on the fall weekends.
"It's kind of crazy right now because we've got a pretty good idea of the talent that we have, but the mystery is what will we do with it," Davis said. "We've got a lot of skilled talent returning, but then again, we've got a lot of inexperienced kids in the mix."
One position that Davis knows a lot about and has a pretty good returnee at is quarterback. The former Kent State record-setter and Ohio Valley Greyhounds field general is quite pleased with the way junior Spencer Badia has progressed.
"Spencer had a breakout year last season," Davis said. "He's got a pretty good grasp on what we're trying to do here. He's also really taken a hold of getting his assignments down, and he knows what everyone's responsibilities are."

Win 7, Lose 3
While all that is good, Davis said the 5-foot-8, 165-pounder still has some things to learn.
"He still has a way to go on his progressions and things like that, but he is learning," the coach said.
Badia passed for nearly 2,400 yards and 28 touchdowns, completing 153 of 299 attempts. He did, however, throw 17 interceptions. He broke Nate Davis's single-game passing record with a scintillating 507-yard effort in a 63-27 rout of Steubenville Catholic last season. He was 29 of 42 and tossed seven touchdowns in that contest.
"It's always good to have your quarterback returning, especially in the offense that we run," Davis noted. "That is a huge benefit for us."
"However, on the other hand, he has to realize that last year he dealt with a veteran group of guys, as opposed to this season when he is dealing with guys that will be learning on the fly, so to say. He has to learn to be able to help those guys out and make them better players."
The backup quarterback is still undecided as the crafty Davis always seems to come up with something unusual.
"That's one of the things we're working on," he said. "We've got a couple of kids that we might be able to some things with like we did with Manny (Ray) last year."
He did say that junior Dakota Gable (5-9, 160) has been working out under center. Also listed is freshman Tyler Stewart (5-9, 130).
When Badia does take to the airways, which will be often in Bellaire's spread offense, he will have only one target returning in classmate Nick Patrone. The 5-8, 150-pounder grabbed 22 passes for a little more than 200 yards and one touchdown.
"We are super fresh," Davis said of the wideouts. "That's where we lost a ton of people to graduation."
Sophomore Hunter Westlake (6-1, 165), another returner, is back and will be used in the slot. Also in the mix are senior Quinton Crosby (5-10, 145), junior Kenny Hess (5-10, 160), sophomore Tyler West (5-7, 145), Bralen Snell (5-8, 165) and a transfer from Union Local, Abhay Horvath (5-8, 170).
Crosby got hurt in the first scrimmage last year and missed the entire campaign.
"I like our talent level at receiver, but you can't teach experience and that's what we are lacking in this area," Davis said.
Graduation took away 129 receptions, 2,179 yards and all but one touchdown.
Other wideouts include juniors Robert Kovalyk (6-4, 190), Colin Nolan (5-8, 120), Brendan Ross (6-1, 160) and Kalitir Roark (5-10, 180); sophomores Austin McConville (5-11, 160), Dominic Vinka (5-8, 160), Chace Braden (5-9, 145), Johnathon Longwell (5-9, 150); and freshmen Nathaniel Cumberlidge (5-8, 160), Dylan Marling (5-8, 110), Anthony Price (5-8, 125) and Austin Anastasia (5-8, 165).
The running backs are kind of an uncertain quality as seniors Logan Koshenka (5-8, 170) and Nick Maffe (5-11, 167) will line up behind Badia. Neither saw action in the backfield as juniors, but Koshenka did play some as a sophomore.
"Logan did some damage two years ago, but didn't play back there last year due to Josh (Davis) being there," Davis said.
Other potential ballcarriers include junior Myliek Green (5-10, 170) and freshmen Alex Hibbits (5-8, 160) and Anthony Piper (5-9, 145).
The offensive line is where Bellaire's real strength is as five guys who started at least one game a season ago are back.
"We've got a few guys back that played last season, and that always helps," Davis added. "I'm happy with what we've got up front."
He also likes the size of his linemen.
"Our size is really good this year. We're not floating around the 200 (pound) mark now, we're up to somewhere between 220-230 across the board. That's a huge benefit."
Junior Ryan Callarik (6-1, 200), junior Wyatt Back (5-10, 235), senior Vince Kolenich (5-10, 220) and senior Dalton Conroy (6-0, 240) all started last season, while senior Jonathan Carter (5-11, 230) saw quite a bit of playing time. Sophomore Cody LaRoche (6-0, 240) will be in the mix, as will newcomer Robbie Kalinowski (6-4, 275).
"Just because we list someone at one position on the line doesn't mean they won't play somewhere else," Davis said. "In the past, we never have guys in the same spots when the season ends because we find out that they can help us in another position."
Also listed as offensive linemen are senior Austin Dodrill (5-8, 245); juniors Seth Pickens (5-10, 185), James Dunfee (5-9, 200) and Frank Nelson (5-9, 170); sophomores Jeremy Rife (6-1, 180), Joshua Materkoski (5-11, 230) and Michael Kovalyk (5-9, 200); and freshmen John Price (5-9, 185), Zach Bellville (5-10, 200), Donivan Taylor (5-11, 335), Matt Montgomery (5-8, 175), Jacob Thorton (5-9, 185), Cody Tredway (5-9, 155), Steven Krupa (5-10, 170) and Devin Violet (5-9, 185).
Defensively, the Big Reds will have to find replacements for two graduated players (Davis and Christian Edmund) who combined for 180 tackles last season.
"When you lose two kids with that amount of tackles between them, that's always going to be a soft spot for you," the coach said. "But we think we've got some kids that can step in."
Koshenka and Maffe will start at the inside linebackers. Both are big, rugged kids. Koshenka saw some action a year ago, as did Maffe.
Other linebackers are Snell, West, Green, McConville, Gable, Horvath, Hibbits, Cumberlidge, Vinka, Braden, Kenny Hess, Anastasia, Pickens, Montgomery, Nelson and Roark.
In the trenches are Kolenich, Callarik, Conroy, Back, Kalinowski, LaRoche, Violet, Dodrill, Krupa, Michael Kovalyk, Thorton, Carter, Dunfee, Taylor, Materkoski, Bellville, Tredway, Rife, John Price and Robert Kovalyk.
Roaming the secondary will be Patrone (5 INTs), Badia, Crosby, Westlake, Stewart, Kyle Hess, Nolan, Ross, Longwell, Marling, Piper and Anthony Price.
"We've got to tackle a whole lot better than we have in the past," Davis said. "We can't give up the big plays like we have done in the past."
When asked about his special teams, Davis was all smiles.
Conroy is a legitimate threat as a placekicker and kickoff specialist. He has a strong leg.
"I don't think he missed a field goal last year," Davis said of Conroy. "He's a huge weapon for us. He's got good range."
Last season, Conroy accounted for 44 points on 29 PATs and five field goals.
Also returning is Westlake as the punter.
"We should be solid in our special teams as far as kicking goes, but we will have to fill in bodies to go down field and make plays," Davis said.
The Big Reds have a fairly sizeable roster, which is something that makes Davis beam with happiness.
"Our numbers are really up from last season,'' Davis said. ''We've got 51 players on the roster, and we had 38 last year at this time. That's a huge improvement considering we only have seven seniors.
"I think we're starting to finally turn the corner and get headed in the right direction. Winning breeds confidence, but the biggest thing is you get kids that aren't interested in playing as freshman because of the commitment during the summer months. Then, all of a sudden, between their freshman and sophomore seasons they realize that they want to play. We've picked up some kids that way.
"However, in looking at the bigger picture, things are looking up for us to progress and keep climbing the ladder to get better."
Bellaire has a favorable schedule as it opens on the road Saturday at Steubenville Catholic before returning home for four straight Saturday matinees at Nelson Field.
"We must take advantage of that," Davis noted. "They say you must win at home to be successful. That's definitely a stretch of games that we need to take care of."
During that stretch, the Big Reds play host to John Marshall, East Liverpool, Buckeye Local and Indian Creek.
The coaching staff includes assistants Casey Davis, Shawn Valloric, Ryan McMahon, Bruce Stolz, Justin Green, Ty Masciarelli, Adam Shallcross and Ed Miller. The trainer is Mike Busack and the equipment manager is Bee Bee Marinacci.

http://mmajunkie.com Ratings have been surprisingly strong for the current 12th season of "The Ultimate Fighter" on Spike TV.
However, do those ratings underscore an entertaining season of the UFC's long-running reality series?
That's the question we asked in our latest MMAjunkie.com weekly poll, in which we asked readers to assign a letter grade to "TUF 12."
"TUF 12" debuted in September and features lightweight fighters. UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre and UFC 124 opponent Josh Koscheck serve as coaches on the show, which concludes this coming Wednesday with a two-hour season finale and the semifinal round (Jonathan Brookins vs. Kyle Watson and Michael Johnson vs. Nam Phan) of the 32-slot tournament.
Tens of thousands of votes were cast, and when setting aside the 19 percent of voters who said they don't watch the show, "TUF 12" scored quite well.
While voters were stingy with an A grade (2.5 percent), they were generous with B (42 percent) and C (38.3 percent) grades. Fewer than one in five voters assigned "TUF 12" a D (11.1 percent) or F (6.2 percent).
So what do you think about this season of the show? Have producers kept the show entertaining despite its tried-and-true format and limited tinkering, or does it need a complete overhaul?
State your case in the comments section below.
Additionally, don't forget to vote in this week's new poll on the MMAjunkie.com homepage. We want to know whether – if in light of his post-fight punch and termination from the UFC – Paul Daley deserved a Strikeforce contract and his upcoming fight with Scott Smith at "Henderson vs. Babalu."
HDNet's "Inside MMA" and MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) run a weekly poll thanks to a partnership between the two news outlet. Catch new episodes of "Inside MMA" on Fridays at 9 p.m. ET. For more information on "Inside MMA" and HDNet Fights,
