Roast Coffee Pairing #7: Sweetness, Dear Sweetness
Sweetness, Dear Sweetness. If there is one quality of good coffee that can't be underrated, it is sweetness. You might not notice it at first (especially since bittering flavors are intrinsic to any coffee), but an absence of sweetness is akin to the absence of acidity. The cup is lacking without it. To illustrate how much sweetness can be a good thing we present one of our all time favorite coffees around these parts Costa Rica Helsar Organic Naranjo. When you smell the aroma as it brews, you can find lemon and citrus, piquant, delicate sour notes. But paired with that is a clean, articulate sweetness in the cup. Pay attention to the finish, the aftertaste, and I hope you will find a refined sweetness as the coffee flavors fade. If you don't, it is time to clean your coffee brewer! We could have chosen many extreme coffees that are aggressive and unsweet, Indonesia wet-hulled types, an Aged coffee, Monsooned, etc. But that wouldn't be fair. While the differences are more subtle, we wanted to chose a wet-processed coffee from the Central America neighborhood, one with a modicum of sweetness, ranging toward the baker's chocolate roast flavor. For this coffee I select the Guatemala San Jose Pinula -La Trinidad. Again, pay attention to the finish' this coffee has a lot of body, and a very attractive chocolate bittering aftertaste, not without sweetness, but certainly more in the realm of "pleasant bittering" flavors. I know, this is not a "hit you over the head" obvious difference. But I think you can observe the difference if you evaluate them side-by-side. As for the roast we have taken the Guatemala to a nice City+ roast with a very gentle roast profile with greatly reduced heat at the end of the roast cycle. The Costa Rica Helsar was roasted just a shade lighter, still in the City+ range to highlight the wonderful sweetness in this lot. This pairing should be an outstanding example of the degrees of sweetness available in two Central American coffees, Sweetness, we love you.

|Methodist Church stands at corner of Furry and Phelan for 125 years
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
The Holyoke Enterprise's feature photo for the March page in their 125th anniversary calendar is the First United Methodist Church, an establishment that has had a strong presence in Holyoke since the city's beginning.
The church first organized July 10, 1887 when a group of people met at the Carnahan residence on the banks of the Frenchman Creek. By November 1887, there was a move for a church building, and thus several hundred dollars was raised and the small white frame structure, pictured above, was constructed at the corner of Furry Street and Phelan Avenue in Holyoke. The cornerstone was laid April 21, 1888.
The congregation first used benches, later replaced by chairs and finally pews. A partition was put in the church about 1905 to cut one long room into two, and in 1906 the church purchased a piano to replace their little organ.
In 1921, the Methodist congregation began making plans for a new church, replacing this white church with the brick building that still sits on the site today. A new sanctuary and additional rooms were built on, beginning in the late 1950s.

|Health is not a condition of matter, but of mind
|Written by Justin Newman, medical student
Sleep Tight – Part II
~ What has four legs but only one foot? A bed ~
A good night's sleep is invaluable. It is something that is not really appreciated until you don't get it, and when you have not slept well for a few days, it is something you would do just about anything to get.
~ What horse sleeps only at night? A nightmare. ~
When there is difficulty sleeping or with getting good sleep that allows for a well-rested feeling, there are a number of suggestions that can help with what doctors call "good sleep hygiene."
Suggestions that improve and maintain good sleep include: sleeping just as much as needed to feel rested and then getting out of bed, maintaining a regular sleeping schedule, not forcing sleep to come, avoiding caffeine, limiting alcohol, avoiding tobacco, not going to bed hungry, making the bedroom darker or more quiet and getting regular exercise—preferably a few hours before bedtime.
~ Why do people go to bed? Because it won't come to them. ~
The amount of caffeine in your body decreases slowly over time. For example, when you drink a cup of coffee, the caffeine quickly enters the body and goes to work. It takes the body six hours to break down half of this caffeine.
For example, after six hours there will be about half-a-cup worth of caffeine left in the system. Then, after 12 hours there will be about ¼ of a cup's worth left.
So, by avoiding caffeine after lunch or in the afternoon, your body will have the chance to get rid of most of it, so you will be able to sleep when you want to.
~ What over-powers you without hurting you? Sleep ~
When a person has a hard time sleeping, the difficulty with sleeping becomes bothersome and worrying. This person may spend a large amount of time in their beds while worrying they are unable to sleep and they will be tired for the coming day. This person then associates these worries with lying in bed and the entire process can become stressful.
The longer that the person spends in bed trying to sleep, the worse the situation becomes and the more that they worry. For this reason, people should not spend more than 20 minutes lying in bed while trying to sleep. If they are still awake after 20 minutes, they should leave the bed and do something relaxing, such as reading or listening to relaxing music.
One key is to not reward your self for being awake in the middle of the night—this means no TV and no eating when you get up, otherwise this become associated with being awake and can make it more pleasurable, the opposite of what you actually want to do.
Then do not return to the bed until tired, again not spending more than 20 minutes in bed. An alarm clock should be used to get up at the same time every morning, including weekends. This will get the body onto a good schedule and help with the sleeping habits. Daytime naps should also be avoided. The more tired and on-schedule the body is, the better sleep will be at night.
~ Why is breakfast in bed so easy? It is just a couple of rolls and a turnover ~
Some people with difficulty sleeping will sleep in during the morning to catch up on the missed sleep. This just further gets the body out of whack by throwing off the circadian rhythm. By keeping a schedule and then going to bed when the body is tired, more healthy sleeping patterns can be achieved.
~ What question can never be answered with a "yes?" —"Are you asleep?" ~

Here's Paul Mayer holding Specimen P4112--a Campanile giganteum, which is one of the largest marine snails to have ever lived. It's 540mm in length and was on display during the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893.
It was collected near Paris, France and lived about 45 million years ago in a shallow sea that covered parts of Europe. During this time the Paris Basin was a biodiversity hotspot with over 800 mollusk and 190 foraminifera fossil species from the region described.
Today there is only one living species of this once diverse genus, Campanile symbolicum or the Giant Creeper as the Australians commonly refer to it. It lives along the Southwest coast of Australia where it grazes algae along sandy sea floors. It has an average length of 100 mm or about the size of the small specimen in the aperture.
This specimen is normally not on public display but you can see it during Members' Night April 18th and 19th. Become a Member to get access to this event and to see this snail and the rest of our expansive collection.

The City: Sneak Peek At Season Two
March 25, 2010 11:00 AM by Nancy Floyd
Whitney Port is returning to The City on April 27th when the MTV reality show premieres its second season. Season two follows star Whitney Port as she launches her own fashion line, with help from Kell On Earth's Kelly Cutrone. There's also plenty of drama for viewers when Olivia and Erin try to make things work at Elle magazine. Keep reading for a sneak peek into the drama of season two…
The City, the MTV reality show, is returning for a second season on April 27th. Whitney Port is back in New York City trying to take on the fashion world in the upcoming episodes. Her main order of business on season two is to launch her own fashion line. Fortunately, she's got the help of Kell On Earth's Kelly Cutrone, owner of People's Revolution and Port's former boss. Cutrone is working closely with Port on this season of The City to promote her brand and help her put on a successful show at Fashion Week.
Naturally, all of The City's drama won't center on Whitney Port alone. Over at Elle magazine, there's still major tension brewing between Olivia Palermo and PR Director, Erin. Creative Director Joe Zee wants Olivia and Erin to find a way to make things work, but it's not looking good. Things get especially tense when Joe offers Olivia a job doing on-camera work for the magazine's website. The new gig results in even more drama between Olivia and Whitney when Olivia snubs Whitney's fashion show and doesn't report it on the site.
The drama unfolds on April 27th when The City returns to MTV!

Making good on a vow to bring up Japanese PC title RapeLay in Parliament, British Labour MP Keith Vaz has issued a call for the game to be banned in the U.K., reports the Evening Standard:
Mr Vaz, who campaigns against violent computer games, called on the Government to ban [RapeLay] from sale to UK players over the internet.
In a Commons motion, he said he was "appalled that a video game that simulates rape has been readily available for sale on the internet".
He welcomed the decision by Amazon to withdraw the game.
As GamePolitics reported earlier this month, Vaz was one the first to speak out against RapeLay.

Five ISU Soccer Players Assist Haitians Over Spring Break
AMES, Iowa—While many students spent spring break relaxing on a beach or spending some time at home, Iowa State soccer players Ashley Costanzo, Megan Long, Lauren Fader, Casey Bothwell and Amanda Woelfel went to earthquake-devastated Haiti to aide a country in dire need of assistance.
The ISU soccer players stayed in the northern Haiti city Saint Louis du Nord for five days. The city served as a refuge for Haitians who were devastated by the earthquake in Port au Prince. While in Saint Louis du Nord, the Cyclones stayed in a mission building that did not have air conditioning in a dorm-style room that included approximately 100 cots.
Costanzo, Long, Fader, Bothwell and Woelfel helped people in need by assisting children with special needs, painting churches, working on construction of buildings, teaching soccer clinics, digging trenches to help water irrigation and providing basic medical help.
Long described seeing the devastation in Haiti as an eye-opening experience.
"It was amazing because I had never seen so many people living in such difficult conditions," she said. "People were living in huts that were just roofs over dirt floors. We would walk around and see kids and adults pointing to their stomachs and mouths because they wanted us to get them food. I went into the experience looking to help people, and it was life changing to see it first-hand."
Costanzo echoed Long's sentiment.
"I knew before going to Haiti that it was a poor country from seeing images on TV and the internet," Costanzo said. "But the images you see can't do it justice. Once you see kids walking around with no clothes and shoes, you start to really be much more thankful for what you have."
In addition to growing individually and helping the Haitians, Long described how the bond between the Cyclones who traveled to Haiti was strengthened.
"I think we all have a different perspective on life and how important it is to be there for each other," she said. "I think that we all grew and the relationships we have with each other have only gotten stronger."
The Cyclones' time in Haiti also included a chance to play pick-up soccer with large groups of Haitians. In a country that is passionate about the sport, Long said soccer served as an obvious escape from the difficult situations so many Haitians were in.
"We played a huge pick-up soccer game while we were down there and you could tell how much they loved to play," Long said. "I was really impressed by how good they all were, especially some of the little kids."
Costanzo said over 200 Haitian children followed the Cyclones to a soccer field that was made up of dirt, gravel and cinder blocks in order to have a chance to play the world's game. While the Cyclones got a first-hand view of how soccer can bring individuals from all over the world together, the five ISU players helped the Haitians by donating a number of pieces of soccer equipment that were raised from the Iowa State Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) and Sheels.
From the way Long and Costanzo described their experience in Haiti, both the Cyclones and the Haitians mutually benefited from the Iowa State soccer players' time in Haiti.

to migrate domains between the two servers? Lets say we have a client on the open version and they want to pay for the network version. Is it possible to move them? On the other hand we may let the users work on the network version for a month trial and then move them over to the open version if they dont want to pay.

A candidate for supervisor made his formal announcement Wednesday morning.
Peter Boggan is seeking the District 2 seat in Lauderdale County. Boggan previously ran for the office about 20 years ago.
Boggan, a Democrat, said he believes the board needs a representative who is in touch with what the community wants and needs.
"Interacting with people has been my life. Been involved for a long time in the church, outside of the church, in the community," said Boggan. "And I just feel like this is just another phase of ministry that we can share with the people."
Boggan says small businesses need the support of the board. He said his experience in the ministry and in business has prepared him to represent District 2.

The Cash For Clunkers Program - Editor's LetterWritten by on August 31, 2009 Clunkers Part 2
As I was sitting down to pen this month's "Turn Five" I received an email regarding my column "How Obama will kill racing" (Oct. '09). Then I received another. Then another. Clearly, I struck a chord. But as I read these letters I realized I struck a chord that was vastly different than the one I expected.
There were actually two sides to the emails; those who were, as I expected, against the idea of the Cash for Clunkers program. These readers cited two major issues, one was the use, or in their eyes, misuse, of taxpayer's dollars; the other was that they saw the program as a threat to the supply of "junkyard" racers. These cars are usually the entry level vehicles that people interested in getting into racing often turn into racers for their first division. This idea was the basis for the original column.
The flip side of the emails centered around the need for our industry to modernize, embrace new technology and "leave the old stuff to old guys like me," as one reader put it.
Let's look at both sides of the argument. I was talking with Al Varnadore of the ASA-sanctioned dirt track East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa the other day. During the course of the conversation I asked him, in terms of car count, what was the biggest class at his track. "Bombers, easily Bombers, and we're getting 24-plus Late Models every week, so you know our entry level class has to be big," he said. He went on to say that tracks across the country should be experiencing the same situation. "If they're doing it right and promoting properly they (Bomber-style cars) should be a track's biggest class."
A recently completed reader survey of Circle Track subscribers validates what Al is saying. Of our 100,000-plus paid subscribers, a solid 48 percent race in a Street, Hobby, or Bomber Stock division. A significant number, if not all, of these cars likely trace their roots to a junk/salvage yard or being bought from a private owner as in my Chevelle example in the previous column. Throw the IMCA-style Modified, whose rules read "1964 or newer OEM perimeter American rear-wheel drive passenger car frame only" into that mix, and the percentage jumps to 72. So, nearly three-quarters of Circle Track's subscriber base race a car that potentially started out as a "clunker." That's a significant percentage. And if we make the assumption that the Circle Track readership mirrors the short-track racing population, we can draw the conclusion that a huge portion of this industry relies on these lower-level classes.
On to the flip side of the argument, I had one reader write in and ask, "Why does local short-track, 'stock car' racing have to rely on this dinosaur-like technology?"
The reader brought up a valid point in that much of stock car racing (as we saw in the above examples from our readership) relies on what he calls "dinosaur-like" technology. He went on to detail one of the problems at his local track is getting today's youth interested in the "oval-track racing scene."
He writes: "When is the last time you, or anyone you know, bought a new car with a carburetor on it?"
Indeed. When was the last time you saw a new car with a carb? That late 80s Monte Carlo pictured in the Clunkers column was probably pretty close to it. Kids today have a hard time relating to a carbureted engine and how would they? The Chevy LS3, Ford 5.4, and Hemi 6.1 are the pinnacle of high-performance that young people see today and every last one of them is electronically controlled and fuel-injected.
We've actually said it in a number of articles in this magazine; for short-track racing to flourish promoters, sanctions, and racers alike will have to embrace new technologies-whether it's alternative fuels, propulsion systems, or vehicle platforms. Check out May '09 "Turn Five" and Oct. '08 "Green Racing" as just two examples. That being said, for the true health of this industry, the introduction of these new technologies must be done in a way to peacefully coexist with the current technology. That's the only way we will successfully grow oval track racing.
Finally, in that vein, one reader wrote: "It's 2009 for crying out loud. Why not put our heads together with more modern technologies and embrace 2009,'10,'11,'12 and try to let go of 1975?"
This subscriber, as I hope, the rest of our readership, will be interested to learn of a project whose origins date back to PRI 2008. It will be unique and different, employing much of that 21st century technology. Keep an eye on the next several issues of Circle Track as we will be unveiling our plans in the very near future.
Until then, go fast and turn left,
P.S. I wrote the original Obama column before Cash for Clunkers, or CARS as it's officially known, was signed into law (gotta love magazine deadlines). Through the tireless work of SEMA and the Sema Action Network, the law is somewhat different than the bill I based my column on. Visit www.semasan.com to view the latest information on the program.

Horizon E88By Capt. Bill Pike
Sophisticated Lady
Conventionally styled and propelled, the Horizon E88 is out there in terms of technology.
I carry a pocket knife. Yeah, I usually carry an iPhone as well during my travels, and the ol' get-gone kit also tends to include a rather cool little laptop. But my Case Medium Stockman (complete with harvest-orange bone handle) goes everywhere with me, including the boat-testing destinations I visit for PMY. I adhere to this time-honored practice even during an era of increasingly onerous airport security, incidentally. Flying from pillar to post with a radar gun these days typically means checking at least one bag. So I simply stow the Stockman in checked luggage and break it out once I get to where I'm going. A pocket knife, after all, can come in very handy on a boat.
If using a seemingly unrelated but decidedly traditional proclivity of mine to launch a test report on the new Horizon Yachts E88 Skylounge Motoryacht (E stands for Elegance, by the way) strikes you as just a tad strange, my reasoning's simple enough. After spending just a day onboard this big Euro-styler, I'm convinced she'll appeal almost exclusively to folks like me, folks who appreciate both the glories of cutting-edge technology and the charms and practicalities of tradition.
Let's cover the traditional stuff first. Despite her whiz-bang attributes, the 88 is what boat-biz guys call a "simple straight-shot inboard." Her engines—our test boat sported optional 1,700-mhp Caterpillar C32 ACERTs—were coupled into a set of 42-inch by 40-inch Hung Shen propellers via big ZF transmissions and Aquamet shafts. The running surface undergirding all of this was mainstream—no prop pockets with miniscule vibration-prone tip clearances and no pods, pod-related hull modifications, or other naval-architectural gadgetries below the waterline. Just a straightforward V-shape Patrol Boat-type hull with slight concavities on either side at the transom.
The performance this approach engendered was heartwarming. After recording test data on a relatively flat Lake Worth, not far from Horizon's stateside offices in North Palm Beach, Florida, I took the 88 out for a coastal-Atlantic test spin. Her tracking was excellent. Thanks to a slightly nose-up running attitude (her angle of attack at speed hovered at an optimum two degrees throughout), she virtually steered herself—once for two whole minutes! Turns were tight. I estimated diameters of about a boat length at two-thirds throttle and noted virtually no tendency to lean disconcertingly outboard, the mark of an intelligentally proportioned keel. And the quiet ambiance at the helm in the swanky skylounge was lovely.
Docking followed suit. By using just one of the 88's Cats to maintain sternway after doing a twin-screw pivot at the mouth of our slip and then controlling rearward progress via powerful 38-hp American Bow Thruster hydraulic thrusters forward and aft, Horizon's Capt. Matt Vought slid 'er home while—I swear—stifling a yawn. Indeed, the maneuver went so smoothly that it hatched a fond personal speculation: If I were the kind of pocket-knife-carrying guy who had $5.1 million to spend on an 88—or rather $5,830,900 (our test boat's price tag with options)—I believe I'd forego the services of my paid skipper occasionally, just so I could have the fun and satisfaction of docking the boat myself.
But what about the cutting-edge features on the 88? For starters, there's her construction, a highly advanced process Horizon calls "3D Infusion." According to Keith Chen, R&D supervisor at Horizon's main yard in Taiwan, it entails infusing both lateral, 2-D surfaces (like the 88's hull) and raised 3-D structures (like her longitudinals and transversals) at the same time.
This is sophisticated, even by today's standards. While many builders use SCRIMP and other processes to mold parts with varying degrees of success, few are capable of infusing an entire hull—including longitudinals and transversals—in one shot. "The technique gives us great confidence in our boats," Chen says. "We don't have to worry about delamination issues from secondary bonding of the stringers and other parts. There is no secondary bonding."
OctoPlex is the 88's other high-tech biggie. Officially given the moniker Moritz Aerospace Multiplexed Power Management and Monitoring System, OctoPlex replaces large old-fashioned electrical panels with a series of smaller multiplexing touchscreens that can manage and monitor all onboard electrical circuits, both A.C. and D.C. The touchscreens, in turn, give ultra-convenient fingertip access to everything from fuel tank info to breakers for galley appliances. Moreover, the system's got built-in redundancy galore, with manual-override capability and an extra CAN-bus line for backup.
"Never seen better," I remarked, as Vought and I completed a tour of the 88's engine room, a succinctly organized, superbly outfitted extravaganza featuring triplex Racors, a Reverso fuel-polisher, a Delta T ventilation system (with a temperature sensor that optimizes engine-room air density), and an environmentally friendly Hamann waste-water treatment plant. Space was plentiful, with headroom of 7'4" and walkway clearance between the mains of 1'8". "Top-notch brand names everywhere," I added, "and the layout's as easy to read as a stop sign."
I polished the day off by checking out both our 88's four-stateroom, four-head interior and her immense—and most likely, immensely comfortable—crew's quarters. The level of finish everywhere was high. And I noted a raft of nifty details as well, among them the wholly unobstructed view I enjoyed while seated in the saloon (thanks to the cut-down window sills in the superstructure and her somewhat adumbrated bulwarks); the easy swing of the beefy Airtex pantograph-type watertight doors on either side of the main-deck dinette; and the lacquered touches in the galley, saloon, and elsewhere, which lent an Italianate cachet to what had been wrought by Taiwan's biggest builder.
"A traditional motoryacht in many respects," I told Vought by way of a day's-end synopsis, while packing up the test-gear, with the Case Stockman stowed carefully inside. "Technologically though, she's as cutting edge as they come—a truly sophisticated lady!"

Non-GMO Month was created by the Non-GMO Project in 2010 as a platform for raising awareness on the GMO issue. Citizens and organizations across North America are waking up to the potential risks of GMOs and the desire to have food products free of GMO technology.
As the leading manufacturer of organic infant and toddler foods with nearly 100 products verified as NON-GMO, Earth's Best is proud supporter of the NON-GMO Project and a Platinum Sponsor of NON-GMO Month in October.
For more information, visit nongmomonth.org.
All certified organic products are produced without the use of GMOs in accordance with the USDA's National Organic Program (NOP). The NOP prohibits the intentional use of genetically modified organisms in organic products.
There is no conclusive evidence that GMOs benefit or hinder human health or the environment, but we feel that consumers have the right-to-know about the use of GMOs in the foods that they select for their families. However, Earth's Best has voluntarily joined a U.S.–led, non-profit organization's initiative called the Non-GMO Project (NGP) in order to help consumers identify products and make a consistent non GMO choice when selecting natural and organic products.. since there is currently no state or federal government regulations that quantify the levels of GMO.
At Earth's Best® we believe babies and toddlers should be fed from the pure ingredients that the earth has to offer which is why we offer high quality, organic foods that do not use genetically modified ingredients.
GMO's are plants, animals, and microorganisms whose DNA has been modified by non-traditional methods. These modifications take DNA from one strain of bacteria, plant or animal and insert them into another strain in order to change the characteristics of the original species.
At Earth's Best®, we pride ourselves in organic farming using no potentially harmful pesticides or herbicides, no artificial preservatives, flavors or colors and no genetically engineered ingredients in our organic fields and crops. Our fruits and vegetables are grown organically producing great tasting foods for your baby and that you have come to expect from Earth's Best.

Portugal moved from authoritarian rule to parliamentary democracy following the 1974 military coup against dictator Marcello Caetano, himself a continuation of the long-running dictatorship of Antonio Salazar. After a period of instability and communist agitation, Portugal ratified a new Constitution in 1976. Subsequent revisions of the Constitution placed the military under strict civilian control; trimmed the powers of the president; and laid the groundwork for a stable, pluralistic liberal democracy, as well as privatization of nationalized firms and the government-owned communications media. Portugal joined the European Union in 1986, and has moved toward greater political and economic integration with Europe ever since.
The four main branches of the national government are the presidency, the prime minister and Council of Ministers (the government), the Assembly of the Republic (the parliament), and the judiciary. The president, elected to a 5-year term by direct, universal suffrage, also is commander in chief of the armed forces. Presidential powers include confirming the prime minister and Council of Ministers; dismissing the prime minister; dissolving the assembly to call early elections; vetoing legislation, which may be overridden by the assembly; and declaring a state of war or siege. The Council of State, a presidential advisory body, is composed of six senior civilian officers, former presidents elected under the 1976 constitution, five members chosen by the assembly, and five selected by the president.
The government is headed by the prime minister, who is nominated by the assembly for confirmation by the president. The prime minister then names the Council of Ministers. A new government is required to present its governing platform to the assembly for approval.
The Assembly of the Republic is a unicameral body composed of up to 230 deputies. Elected by universal suffrage according to a system of proportional representation, deputies serve terms of office of 4 years, unless the president dissolves the assembly and calls for new elections. The national Supreme Court is the court of last appeal. Military, administrative, and fiscal courts are designated as separate court categories. A nine-member Constitutional Tribunal reviews the constitutionality of legislation.
The Azores and Madeira Islands have constitutionally mandated autonomous status. A regional autonomy statute promulgated in 1980 established the Government of the Autonomous Region of the Azores; the Government of the Autonomous Region of Madeira operates under a provisional autonomy statute in effect since 1976. Continental Portugal is divided into 18 districts, each headed by a governor appointed by the Minister of Internal Administration. Macau, a former dependency, reverted to Chinese sovereignty in December 1999.
Current Administration
National elections in March 2002 returned the Social Democratic Party (PSD) to power after a 6-year absence, with a plurality of the vote and legislative seats. The new Prime Minister, Jose Manuel Durao Barroso, formed an alliance with the conservative Popular Party (CDS/PP), giving the ruling coalition an absolute majority in the parliament. President Jorge Sampaio is a member of the opposition Socialist Party (PS). The government committed itself to public-sector austerity and business incentives to promote growth, trade, and productivity. Its challenges include rising unemployment, meeting euro-zone fiscal requirements, and adapting to European Union and NATO enlargement. Durao Barroso resigned in July 2004 to become President of the European Commission, and President Sampaio asked the former mayor of Lisbon and the new PSD leader, Pedro Santana Lopes, to form a new government. On July 17, 2004, President Sampaio swore in Lopes' new government, preserving the PSD/CDS/PP ruling coalition.

The Portuguese National Tourist Office in the United States is located at 590 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10036 (tel: 212-354-4403).
Portugal's membership in the European Union (EU) contributed to stable economic growth, largely through increased trade and an inflow of EU funds for infrastructure improvements. Until recently, average annual growth rates consistently exceeded those of the EU average. Due to slow economic growth, Portugal has lost ground relative to the rest of the EU since 2002. In 2002, Portuguese per capital GDP was 70.9% of the EU-15 average. In 2005, it is expected to be 65.1%. Portugal's per capital GDP is behind that of new members Slovenia, Malta, and Cyprus and, since 2002, Greece.
In order to enter the European Monetary Union (EMU) in January 1999, Portugal agreed to cut its fiscal deficit and undertake structural reforms. The EMU brought exchange rate stability, lower inflation, and lower interest rates. Falling interest rates, in turn, lowered the cost of public debt and helped the country achieve its fiscal targets. However, private sector borrowing increased dramatically. By 2001, the economy was in serious external imbalance, with a large current and capital account deficit. Portugal was the first country to breach the Eurozone's Stability and Growth Pact budget deficit target of 3%, with a gap equal to 4.2% of GDP. The Government of Portugal (GOP) met the 3% target in 2002 and 2003, but only with substantial one-off revenues. Despite a hiring freeze and other measures, the Portuguese government had a structural budget deficit in 2004 projected at 4.9%. In 2004, public spending is expected to equal 47.9% of GDP. Despite EU requirements to maintain fiscal austerity, the 2005 budget presented by the new Santana Lopes government in October 2004 projects a structural deficit in excess of 3.0%, and violates the 60% limit on public debt.
The Portuguese economy experienced a 1.3% decline in 2003 but has shown a slight recovery in 2004. The recovery is expected to continue through 2005 with growth projected at 2.2% by the European Commission. The government hopes that labor reform legislation, which took effect in early 2004, corporate and personal tax cuts in 2004 and 2005 and other changes will support a strong economic recovery and a return to faster growth.
Portugal's economy is based on traditional industries such as textiles, clothing, footwear, cork and wood products, beverages (wine), porcelain and earthenware, and glass and glassware. In addition, the country has increased its role in Europe's automotive sector and has a world-class mold-making industry. Services, particularly tourism, are playing an increasingly important role. Portugal will be forced into greater self-sufficiency when EU funds are either discontinued or substantially cut in 2006. EU expansion into eastern Europe has erased Portugal's historic competitive advantage and low labor costs. The government is working to change Portugal's economic development model from one based on public consumption and public investment to one focused on exports and private investment.
Portugal has been a significant beneficiary of the European Union and is a proponent of European integration. Portugal held the presidency of the EU for the second time during the first half of 2000. Portugal used its term to launch a dialogue between the EU and Africa and to begin to take steps to make the European economy dynamic and competitive. In 2002, the Euro began to circulate as Portugal's currency.
Portugal was a founding member of NATO; it is an active member of the alliance by, for example, contributing proportionally large contingents in Balkans peacekeeping forces. Portugal proposed the creation of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP) to improve its ties with other Portuguese-speaking countries. Additionally, Portugal has participated in a series of Ibero-American summits. Portugal was a strong advocate of independence for East Timor, a former Portuguese colony, and has committed troops and money to East Timor, in close cooperation with the United States, Asian allies, and the United Nations. Portugal also is contributing a small gendarme force and funds for other training and development projects for Iraq reconstruction.
Bilateral ties date from the earliest years of the United States. Following the Revolutionary War, Portugal was the first neutral country to recognize the United States. On February 21, 1791, President George Washington opened formal diplomatic relations, naming Col. David Humphreys as U.S. minister.
Contributing to the strong ties between the United States and Portugal are the sizable Portuguese communities in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, California, and Hawaii. The latest census estimates that 1.3 million individuals living in the United States are of Portuguese ancestry, with a large percentage coming from the Azores. There are about 20,000 Americans living in Portugal.
The defense relationship between the United States and Portugal is excellent, centered on the 1995 Agreement on Cooperation and Defense (ACD). Lajes Air Base in the Azores has played an important role in supporting U.S. military aircraft engaged in counter-terrorism and humanitarian missions, including operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Portugal also provides the United States and other allies access to Montijo Air Base and a number of ports.
Portugal defines itself as "Atlanticist," emphasizing its support for strong European ties with the United States, particularly on defense and security issues. The Portuguese Government has been a key ally in U.S.-led efforts in Iraq, and hosted the Azores Summit that preceded military action. Portugal sees its role as host of NATO's newly renamed "Headquarters West" (formerly SOUTHLANT), located near Lisbon, as an important sign of alliance interest in transatlantic security issues. As a staunch NATO ally since the founding of the organization, Portugal is a participant in NATO peacekeeping. It used its 2002 chairmanship of the OSCE to advance U.S. and European security objectives.
U.S.-Portuguese trade is relatively small, with the United States exporting $863 million worth of goods in 2002 and importing an estimated $1.67 billion. While total Portuguese trade has increased dramatically over the last 10 years, the U.S. percentage of it--both exports and imports--has declined. The Portuguese Government is seeking to increase exports of textiles and footwear to the United States and is encouraging greater bilateral investment. U.S. firms play a significant role in the automotive, pharmaceutical, computer, and retailing sectors in Portugal.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to evaluate ZCS 6 for my company. Fortunately the only deciding factor we have is working calendar / contact sharing between ZCS and Exchange 2003 we have. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get this working.
Our scenario is:
- We have one Exchange 2003 server. This server is set up for company which shares offices with my company. They use their own domain name. The IIS with all Exchange stuff is on the very same server, the AD DC is on other machine though.
- We have our own mail server (which we are going to replace by either ZCS or Exchange). This server is set up for our company and our domain name.
- Both companies have their own AD servers setup for appropriate domain names.
- There are no known network issues between the server and all relevant ports are open.
I installed brand new Ubuntu server (Ubuntu 10.04), then I installed ZCS 6 onto it. I used our AD domain name as initial domain name for ZCS, the DNS records are set for this domain name. So far so good. Right after I checked the official wiki and admin guide to see what I need to do next.
I created sample user in ZCS (with corresponding user in our AD), then I logged onto the server of 2nd company and created new OU for users from ZCS and created contact object for the sample user (just plain contact, no Exchange email address created).
Now, according to all the wiki's / guides / posts I've read, this should be it. So I tried to to make an lookup from webclient for any users from the other company, but none reported availability (and actually no contact was visible from their domain) and it didn't work from the other side either (Outlook did see the test contact, but reported that time schedule is not available).
So, can anyone help with setting up of this and proving that ZCS can cooperate with Exchange for 2 different domains? Is this test possible without actually setting up ZCS completely (I mean with appropriate MX records, with all the SMTP proxies we have, etc etc etc), because I don't have that much man-hours left for this project, so I need to say yay or nay pretty soon...
Beste regards,
Petr Tuma

So we're planning to roll up our 5.0.23 server to 6.0.8 on Wednesday night, and I wanted to just test out the update using a P2V copy of our physical mail server. I assigned it a DHCP address, and fired it up. After running the installer on the virtual machine, when it gets to the verification of the database it gives me this error:
/opt/zimbra/mysql/bin/mysqlcheck: Got error: 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/opt/zimbra/db/mysql.sock' (2) when trying to connect
No errors found
command failed
I can carry on, but eventually it will die here:
Starting mysql...done.
UPGRADE FAILED - exiting.
Is this a bad way to test the upgrade of my server?

Tights: Forever 21 Chevron Patterned Tights (last year)
I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas! My cloak of nausea is finally beginning to lift as I near the end of the first trimester and I'm actually out here in California spending time with the extended family. It's been nothing but eating delicious Chinese foods lately, so even if I don't have a baby bump to show yet, I certainly have been showing a bit of a food baby.
Adrian and I had agreed not to spend much on each other for Christmas this year {since we're saving up for the baby}, but he surprised me with these new Tory Burch flats that I've secretly been wanting for months now. They are actually the only pair of shoes that I brought on my 6-day holiday here in California {besides the running shoes} and my tired feet and achy back couldn't have asked for anything better!
Now it's time to convince hubby to take me after Christmas sale shopping. :)

Well, it's finally happened-you've been driving your daily-commuter Mopar for a few years now, and the last time you got in, you noticed the tell-tale sign of wear-yep, your seat's skin has started to tear. It's bound to happen, as many times as we slide in and out of our seats, a tear or wear spot is inevitable. It may even happen sooner that you think, if your late model Mopar came with the very basic of interiors.
There's another possible reason for the upgrade we're talking about-re-skinning your late model Mopar's seats. What if you bought your Mopar and want to add a little style to the basic interior? Katzkin to the rescue.
Katzkin leather was a small leather-supply company to trim shops, when Mitch Katz came upon the idea of reverse-engineering cloth seat skins of cars to give car owners an upgrade option of adding leather to their rides. That was in 1986, and the idea worked like gangbusters.
So that brings us to the vehicle in our tech article. Our 2003 Ram's seats had a severe problem-the material simply came apart. For some reason, a clean separation just appeared one day, and each day it got larger. One year for Christmas, we were fortunate enough to get a set of parts store seat covers, and sure, they worked fine, and it definitely beat getting a tie for Christmas, but we always felt there was a better option
By contacting Katzkin and ordering up a set of covers, we had found that option. When we contacted Katzkin, we found out that there are a myriad of choices available in regards to styles and colors, so the best option for you is to go to the Katzkin website and decide for yourself.
We did learn that replacing the skins was actually easier than getting the seats out of the truck-and that wasn't that hard. The entire job took about six hours, and the only tools we needed were a couple of hand wrenches, a razor blade, and some pliers. So as we said earlier, this is a job that anyone can do, and get good results. So, let's get to it.

Unlike a vintage car's hog rings that hold the skin in place, late model vehicles use a plastic length of "hook" to keep the skin in place. This "hook" is simply unhooked to remove the skin.Before you can remove the bottom skin, you need to remove the seat-back adjuster and the "hooks" holding the skin in place.With the edges of the skin unhooked, you'll come to the center of the seat where the skin is held in place by Velcro. Remember the old days when recovering a seat meant pulling the center tight through the bottom and back of the seat and hog ringing it to give the seat "depth" when it was done.Removing the back skin is easiest if you simply start from the bottom and pull the skin up over itself. Installing the new skin is as easy as doing the reverse.The new seat back skin is turned inside out and slid over the frame work. It also has these flaps that get tucked under the skin before the bottom edge of the seat skin is simply zippered shut.Before you can remove the seat back skin, you need to remove the head rest tubes. This is done by giving them a quarter turn and lifting them out.The seat bottom skin is simply put into position, and the "hooks" attached underneath the framework.
Don't forget to make a small slit in the side of the seat so you can put the back rest handle in place.Reinstalling the headrest tubes is as easy as marking the location, making a small "X" slit in the skin, and pushing the tubes back in place.The console kit also comes with the seats, so we tackled that next. First remove the hinge arms, and then simply pull the cover off.We got a pleasant surprise when we removed the cover and found out that our armrest was actually a console that had been covered with a single piece of material to make the armrest. The Katzkin kit gives you the material to make it somewhat functional. We say somewhat because you will need a couple vehicle specific items to make it work-unless you're like us and improvise.The top can be a little trickier if your console was not originally a console. The top-from the factory-folds under and is attached by a lid bottom that snaps to the console lid.With the seats back in the Ram, the difference is outstanding. Not only do we now have leather seats, the tear is gone!Installing the skin on the console bottom is done by placing the console on the skin, pulling the edges up over the console, and tucking them in the groove around the console's edge.

29 Oct 1600 to 1800 UT, Ant I-II seeing, 150x to 300x using UO 18mm and 12mm HD Orthos and 2x Shorty Barlow. Below is an observation prior to the GRS rolling into view. System I: 257, II: 126, III: 174
NPR: At first appeared featureless, but noted two very faint belts from the trailing limb. Possible darker patch further north.
NTB: Very strong ruddy hue across the NTB and the zone between the NTB and NEB. I did get a sense the NTB had a darker northern edge.
NEB: A hive of activity. Two prominent and distinctly blue features extending into the EQ zone. The NEB appears bifurcated. Much darker along the southern edge and less dark along the northern edge. Brighter through the center, with occasional glimpses of distinct bright, thin feature cutting the NEB along it's length. Also, noted a brighter spot approaching the Meridian.
EQ Zone: Possibly one soft festoon. EQ Belt pretty prominent from the meridian toward the preceding limb.
SEB: The wake preceding the GRS was fairly prominent along the northern edge with a brighter lobe separated just past the meridian. Near the logitudinal center and just at the meridian, there was some indication of at least one darker patch. Maybe two. The southern half did appear a bit darker.
SPR: Like the NPR, at first appeared rather featureless. However, one very faint belt was seen along the northern edge and on the preceding limb.
Of course, I observed until the GRS transited. Actually, oval BA was easier than on previous nights. And really, I do not understand why I missed observing it last year. It's not that tough. I did spot, twice, that darker oval near BA. It's pretty challenging.
The dark "finger" rolling up the side of the GRS is very prominent and easy. The darker portion of the SEB's southern edge extends well toward the meridian and beyond. The GRS was best seen, really, at 300x in it's full oval shape. However, I still seem to detect a darker southern half of the GRS. The brighter band across the top is pretty prominent.
The trailing wake appeared to taper only slightly southward, it really bisected the trailing SEB. I could make out at least three distinct clumps of brighter wake. The northern half of the SEB appeared to be darker than the southern half. And not far behind the GRS, just below the wake's "lumps" was a darker patch visible often enough to get "logged."
Directly north of the GRS was a series of three of those blue features along the NEB's southern edge. The one directly north of the GRS was very large and very prominent with a possible festoon hanging off it.
As the GRS neared the meridian, another stretch of EQ belt could be seen peeking around the trailing limb. Also, in the SPR there is a faint belt following the GRS stretching from just south of oval BA to the trailing limb. Just north of that faint SPR belt, and further behind the GRS on the trailing limb, is another very prominent belt in the south temperate zone (I think that's where it is.)
Two sketches coming...thanks for sharing the joy of observing Jupiter.
EDIT: Added first sketch this season.

Practice safe boating this summer
(Page 2 of 2)
According to the U.S. Coast Guard, alcohol is involved in about a third of all recreational boating fatalities. It affects judgment, vision, balance and coordination, which increases the likelihood of an accident. Boat drivers who are under the influence are more likely to capsize their craft, and passengers who have been drinking are more likely to fall overboard and drown.
• Wear a lifejacket, or have one within reach for everyone in the boat. The Coast Guard estimates that lifejackets could have saved the lives of more than 80 percent of boating fatality victims. Children under age 12 must wear a lifejacket at all times unless they are in a fully enclosed cabin, and that should be the guideline for adults as well.
The Coast Guard recommends that all recreational boaters take advantage of the agency's free vessel safety check program. For more information, visit www.cgaux.org and click on "vessel safety checks."
Whether you're planning a short trip on the bay or a cruise on the high seas this summer, make sure you and your boating companions are safe. Bon voyage!

Works for me!
What is there to be said about saddles. It's either comfy or it's not. Well i've been pretty happy with this particular one. It's fairly light weight and i can still feel my rear end at the finish of a long day of riding. Good durable material, lightweight rails. All in all a good saddle.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- It's a victory for retailers.
A federal judge struck down a rule set by the Federal Reserve to cap fees banks can charge merchants each time a customer swipes their debit card.
Retailers sued and said in a lawsuit that the 21 cent cap was too high.
The ruling is potentially a huge loss for banks which will now have to charge lower fees.

The Counseling Center, located on the Evergreen Campus, is staffed by licensed psychologists, a clinical social worker, and Post-Doctoral Fellows. We offer to graduate students the same range of resources available to undergraduates. These include comprehensive assessment and referral services, group counseling, and, for those enrolled in a minimum of nine credit hours of coursework, short-term individual counseling. Please view this Youtube video on graduate student services for more information.
To get started, you can either call us at 410-617-CARE (-2273) or stop by the Counseling Center in Humanities 150 during our hours of operation (M-F, 8:30-5:00) to speak with a counselor. The counselor will discuss your situation, assess your needs, and give you recommendations for treatment. Recommendations might include individual or group counseling in the Center, or when appropriate, referral to other campus agencies or to off-campus resources. When needed, we can help you find an off-campus therapist or program located closer to where you live or attend classes, or who is available outside the Counseling Center's hours of operation.
Our in-person assessments typically range from one to three sessions. During times of heavy service demand, there may be a wait of several days before an initial appointment can be made. However, if you are experiencing a crisis, the receptionist will arrange an emergency appointment with a counselor.
Unfortunately, due to high clinical demand, we are unable to provide counseling services for students seeking to fulfill the counseling requirement of their graduate program.
Finally, with regard to group therapy, it may be possible to form a group exclusively for graduate students. Graduate students may also benefit from general interpersonal groups consisting of graduate and undergraduate students.
At the Counseling Center, we are aware that many graduate students are enrolled in fewer than 9 credit hours per semester. The following table summarizes services available for full- and part-time students:
Full-time Students
Part-time Students
Initial Assessment (1-3 sessions)
Referral Services and Support
Same-day Crisis Appointments
Group Counseling
Short-term Individual Counseling
Many issues that bring students to the Counseling Center are common to both undergraduate and graduate students. Some challenges, though, are especially common to graduate students, like:
Adapting to a new place - Learning how to navigate the Loyola campuses, utilize the various resources available to Loyola students, and adjusting to the Baltimore community if you are new to the area.
Creating new relationships - Developing new friendships, academic partnerships, and mentoring relationships with faculty will all be a part of your adjustment here. You need a caring community to support you through the rigors of this academic journey. Creating this community takes time and energy.
Taking on new roles - Learning what it means to be a graduate or professional school student, and a research or teaching assistant are examples of new roles you may be taking on. Feeling comfortable and confident in these new roles takes time.
Setting limits - Along with these new roles may come the need to clarify boundaries—what are appropriate expectations and what are not? Learning how to set limits and how to negotiate responsibilities are among the challenges of graduate and professional school student life.
Academic transition times - Preparing for comprehensive exams, working on a thesis or dissertation, and going out on job interviews are all high stress times for graduate and professional school students.
Academic Competence - Whether you are coming to graduate school right after undergrad and worry about being a "small fish in a big pond" or are returning to school after some time off and are concerned about feeling "rusty" in the student role, the tendency to doubt one's academic competence is normal during the transition to graduate school.
Multiple roles - Balancing your commitments and activities as a student with other areas of your personal life can be very challenging at times. Relationships may feel strained, or you may sometimes feel like there's just not enough of you to go around. Learning how to set priorities and manage stress and time are critical skills for graduate/professional school students to acquire.
We encourage you to take time to review some basic self-care practices that will help you prevent manage your stress more effectively:
A Healthy Diet - Eat regular, well balanced meals. Limit caffeine and alcohol. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
Good Sleep Habits - Get at least six hours of sleep a night (eight is even better), maintain a regular sleep routine.
Regular Exercise - Find physical activities that you enjoy, commit to an exercise schedule.
Time for Play & Relaxation - Build breaks into your daily schedule, learn and use healthy relaxation strategies (breathing exercises, meditation, yoga).
Get Connected to Others - Build relationships with others not only through your academic discipline but through team sports, clubs and organizations, religious/ spiritual groups, or other resources found on the web.

Spring Training is Here…
…and we have photos to prove it!
Team photographer Chris Vleisides stayed busy during Tuesday's full squad workout, snapping photos of the team down in Surprise, Ariz. We are putting together some galleries for royals.com, but until those get up on the site, enjoy these first images of Royals baseball!
Jose Guillen is all smiles (did you hear about the wig?) at his first Royals camp…
…Billy Butler and Ryan Shealy manning first base…
…Esteban German leaping for a ball…
…GM Moore and Manager Hillman – putting the pieces of the organization together!
In other news…
SEVEN MORE ROYALS INK DEALS: For a second straight day, we signed seven players to one-year Major League contracts good through 2008.
Wednesday morning, we agreed to terms with right-handed pitchers Ryan Braun, Kyle Davies, Leo Nunez, Joel Peralta, Carlos Rosa and Joakim Soria as well as shortstop Tony Pena, Jr. On Tuesday afternoon, the list included left-handed pitchers Tyler Lumsden and Neal Musser, right-handed pitcher Julio Pimentel, catcher Matt Tupman, infielders Justin Huber and Mario Lisson and outfielder Mitch Maier.
With the 14 signings in the past two days, the Royals currently have eight unsigned players for this season.
WELCOME HOME LUNCHEON SET: We just announced the plans for the 2008 Welcome Home Luncheon! The annual Luncheon is set for Wednesday, April 9 at The Westin Crown Center (yup, new location this season!) at 11:30 a.m. with the formal program set to begin at noon. As always, the entire team will be in attendance as well as GM Dayton Moore and Manager Hillman.
Just to note, if you check our home schedule, you'll notice we don't have an off day following our home opener (April 8) this year. Therefore, if you plan on attending the Luncheon, you might as well just make it a Royals day and head out to the ballpark after wards to catch the second game of the team's three-game set with the Yankees. Sounds good, right?
Tickets for the Luncheon are available for purchase NOW – and there are a limited number available! So, click here to place your order.

The presale, which you'll receive an email about after you register, will be on Wednesday, March 5 and Thursday, March 6, allowing you to secure tickets early for games such as the Powder Blue Replica Jersey Night (April 12), the Boston Red Sox series (Aug. 4-6) or Alex Gordon Bobblehead Night (June 21). Register now!
FIELD DEDICATION AND REMEMBERING DONNA STEWART: This morning down in Surprise, the Royals held a ceremony to dedicate three Spring Training practice fields and the complex observation tower. The following is from Royals VP Toby Cook, who emceed the event:
Royals GM Dayton Moore has a knack for connecting the Royals great past with a hope for a winning future. On Wednesday morning, he asked manager Trey Hillman to gather his players around Field 7 at the Surprise Recreation Campus for a special ceremony.
I was humbled he asked me to emcee.
Humility is a pretty good word for the workman-like way four men contributed to the Royals postseason runs from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s. George Brett at third, Frank White at second, **** Howser in the dugout and Art Stewart in the stands scouting. The first three had their numbers retired. The latter has been with the Club from the beginning and will be inducted into the Royals Hall of Fame this year.
The Royals named three of the complex's practice fields after Brett, White and Howser (now formerly Field 7). They named the observation tower in another part of the complex after Stewart. It's a fitting and sad tribute for Art's family. Just Tuesday, his wife, Donna, died of cancer in Kansas City. Dayton accepted the award in his honor. Former Royals catcher and manager John Wathan accepted on behalf of Howser, who also died of cancer in 1987. We held a moment of silence during the dedication ceremony in the memory of Donna Stewart and Richard Davenport, who died this past weekend and was the father of the team's traveling secretary Jeff Davenport.
Through heavy hearts and a sense of hope, Spring Training is in full swing in Surprise. And for the players who are preparing for the 2008 season as locks or just candidates to make the team, they get to practice on fields named after guys who proved hard work and dedication are keys to success in any era.

A.The latency that occurs when playing in realtime will depend on the available audio buffer size that can be specified for your host application and audio driver.
Note that the available audio buffer size will also depend on the performance of the PC and audio device you are using.
If you are using a high-speed audio device that supports WDM or ASIO, you will get minimal latency in performance, which will allow you to play the synth in real time without hearing an audible delay between the time you strike the key and the time the audio starts playing.
