The video features tips and tactics for using the NSW State archives to assist in tracing your family history It is narrated by Christine Yeats the Manager Public Access.
What records can I find here?
Once you have located some basic information about your ancestor, such as birth, death and marriage information, it's time to look for other ways in which the government may have recorded information about that person.
You can find records relating to:
- Convicts
- Shipping - arrivals and departures upto 1922
- Gaols
- Courts
- Occupations and Professions
- Public buildings
- Land records, such as Conditional Purchases
- Building of Infrastructure like roads and water works
- Health - including mental health records
- Government Schools
This is just a small snapshot of the types of records we hold. Try a KeyName Search of our records to locate more inforrmation.
How can I find these records?
Our records are arranged by the government agency which created them. There is no one index arranged by last name that we can search. You will need to determine which government agency your family member may have come into contact with throughout their life. In many instances this is straightforward and you will find this information in the Archives in Brief leaflets. These leaflets contain background to government legislation and departments and popular record series such as Supreme Court cases and probate packets.
Sometimes more research is necessary. Government agencies change their name and functions over time. For example, the Department of Public Instruction, which was later Department of Education, once had control of the State Children's Relief Board, a forerunner of the Department of Community Services.
Archives Investigator provides information on each New South Wales government agency and which responsibilities or functions it had. It also lists the preceeding and succeeding agencies. Other suggestions for finding agencies' responsibilities include:
- Government Gazettes
- Blue Books
- Parliamentary Papers
- Acts and Statutes
Local historians
Research tips
A good place to start your local history research is Archives in Brief 6 - Local history research. This provides a brief overview of the major resources held by State Records relating to local history research.
You need to consider the history of the area and the role that the government of the day may have played in its development. Examples of this could include the establishment of schools, police stations and public buildings such as court houses and hotels.
The following sources may be of assistance in finding out this important background information. It may also assist in identifying possible government departments and record series that may assist you in your research.
- Printed sources such as books, newspapers and journal articles can help to establish when, how, and why a particular area was settled
- Interviewing long time residents can help, especially if little research has previously been undertaken
- Material may also be held in public libraries, local government archives, historical societies and the Mitchell Library
- Printed government sources, including Government Gazettes, Parliamentary Papers and the Blue Books (Returns of the Colony) can also provide background information.
You can also ask the reading room staff for assistance.
Indexes Online
Our Indexes Online are the most efficient and simple way to start your family and local history research. The indexes are numerous and they cover diverse topics such as: convicts; deceased estates; courts; gaol photographs; assisted and unassisted immigration; orphans; police service registers; insolvency; and naturalization. Many indexes can also be searched by placename/locality.
KeyName Search
We have developed a 'KeyName Search' facility to help you find your ancestor among the records more easily. The 'KeyName' option lets you search many online indexes and Archives Investigator at once.
Archives in Brief
Archives in Brief (AIB) are our information leaflets and provide an excellent starting point for your research. They are designed to give you concise historical information on a particular topic, along with a list of the most relevant records in our collection. Some of the topics covered in the AIBs include: tracing your family history; probate packets; teachers; publicans; cemetery records; and the Aborigines Welfare Board.
Tips for publishing your research
Once you have completed your research and start writing it up it is important that you cite your sources accurately. This will help you to locate them again. It will also assist others to locate the same records in the future.
Citing records
To make it even easier to locate a series number we have compiled a list of some of the most frequently used numbers. If the series you have used is not listed you can ask us to provide the number for you.
Archives in Brief 10 - Citing State archives provides useful advice on how to correctly refer to the material you have used in your research. It also provides examples of how to do this either using an abbreviated or expanded citation.
Finding the series number in Archives Investigator
In addition to the item number the other important part of an archives citation is the series number. All the series making up the NSW State archives have a unique number.
This is the number that has been assigned to the records created and maintained by a government department for a common purpose, for example the series Files relating to licences for theatres and public halls, 1895-1992 has the series number NRS 15318.
Series numbers are listed in Archives Investigator. They have the prefix 'NRS'. This stands for NSW Record Series.
You can find the series number in Archives Investigator by doing an Advanced Search -> Records Series. For the example above we used the word theatres in the Title field of the search form. This number helps us to identify the records in Archives Investigator. With this number you can also find out more about the history of the records, such as why the records were created.

Michael Jackson's "This Is It" director broke down in tears in court on Wednesday as he read out an email he sent to AEG Live boss Randy Phillips about the King of Pop's health during the singer's ongoing wrongful death trial.
Kenny Ortega wrote the correspondence, in which he opened up about his concerns for the superstar, five days before Jackson's death in June, 2009.
Ortega told Phillips he felt the star needed to see a therapist.
The email had been shown to the jury at the beginning of the wrongful death case, but on Wednesday the director/choreographer read it allowed – and broke down on the stand.
He read: "My concern is, now that we've brought the doctor in to the fold and have played the tough love, now or never card, is that the artist may be unable to rise to the occasion due to the real emotional stuff. He appeared quite weak and fatigued this evening. He had a terrible case of the chills, was trembling, ranting and obsessing."
He added: "Everything in me says he should be psychologically evaluated. If we have any chance at all to get him back in the light, it's going to take a strong therapist to help him through this as well as immediate physical nurturing."
But Ortega also insisted that Jackson really wanted to perform the 50 London dates he and Ortega were preparing for, declaring, "It would shatter him, break his heart if we pulled the plug. He's terribly frightened it's all going to go away. He asked me repeatedly tonight if I was going to leave him. He was practically begging for my confidence. It broke my heart. He was like a lost boy. There still may be a chance he can rise to the occasion if we get him the help he needs."
While reading the email, Ortega began to cry and paused to wipe tears from his eyes, prompting the judge in the case to call a short recess. Jackson's mother Katherine, who has accused AEG Live executives of ignoring her son's health woes and pushing him towards his death, was also clearly overcome with emotion in the courtroom.
She and Jackson's kids are suing AEG Live and two of its executives, accusing them of negligently hiring and controlling the singer's incarcerated physician Dr. Conrad Murray, who administered the fatal dose of the anaesthetic propofol on June 25, 2009.
AEG's lawyers maintain Murray worked for Jackson.
The trial continues.

In 1968, Anita M. Dorr, RN and Judith C. Kelleher, RN, working at opposite sides of the United States, perceived a need for nurses involved in emergency health care to pool their resources in order to set standards and develop improved methods of effective emergency nursing practice. In addition, they wished to provide continuing education programs for emergency nurses as well as a united voice for nurses involved in emergency care.
By 1970, Ms. Dorr had formed the Emergency Room Nurses Organization on the east coast and Ms. Kelleher had formed the Emergency Department Nurses Association on the west coast. The two groups joined forces and the Association was initially incorporated as the Emergency Department Nurses Association (EDNA) in Rochester, New York on December 1, 1970. The first National Association meeting was held in New York in 1971.
In 1985, the Association name was changed to Emergency Nurses Association (ENA), recognizing the practice of emergency nursing as role-specific rather than site-specific.
Originally aimed at teaching and networking, the organization has evolved into an authority, advocate, lobbyist, and voice for emergency nursing. ENA has 40,000+ members and continues to grow, with members representing over 35 countries around the world.
ENA is indispensable to the global emergency nursing community.
The mission of the Emergency Nurses Association is to advocate for patient safety and excellence in emergency nursing practice.

RICHMOND - Indian Creek has accomplished another one of its goals.
The Indian Creek softball team scored the first five runs of the game en route to a 5-2 victory against Buckeye Local Thursday at Jefferson Lake State Park to win an Ohio Division II Eastern District Sectional championship for the second-straight season.
With the victory, Indian Creek (18-3) will now play Dover at 5 p.m. Tuesday at River View High School in an Eastern District Co-Final.
"Winning the sectional title was one our goals at the beginning of the season," Indian Creek coach Angie Penner said. "We wanted to be the top team in the OVAC, but things didn't fall our way. John Marshall is a good team.
"Our next goal was we wanted to win the Buckeye 8. We were able to do that. We are 18-3.
"I am proud of the girls. They are playing well. They are making plays. They are making things happen.
"Our third goal is we wanted to get back to districts. We fought hard for seven innings. Like I said (Wednesday), when you get to this level everyone wants to win. We are going to need to bring our A-game every game. We have to be mentally tough.
"I want to congratulate our girls. I am proud of them. I am proud of the administration and the fans for all of their support. (Thursday) was a good day. We have gotten good senior leadership."
The Redskins also defeated the Panthers in the sectional final last season.
"It just didn't fall our way," Buckeye Local (15-12) coach Joe Soos said. "We lost our focus a little bit in that three-run inning. If not for that, we would still be playing, but it is what it is."
The Redskins were the top seed in the tournament. The Panthers were the No. 2 seed. Buckeye Local advance to the title tilt by defeating Edison, 9-1, in Monday's semifinal. Indian Creek advanced to the sectional final by defeating Big Red, 6-0, in the semifinals Wednesday.
The Redskins will be looking to get revenge on the Tornadoes in the district co-final. Dover defeated Indian Creek, 6-1, last year. Indian Creek blanked Big Red, 7-0, in the sectional semifinals before outslugging Buckeye Local, 10-7, in the final to advance to take on Dover. The Panthers defeated the Wildcats, 9-4, in the semifinals to earn the right to take on the Redskins.
Thursday, Paige Geanangel picked up the victory for the Redskins. She struck out seven and walked three. She allowed two runs on two hits.
Offensively, Indian Creek ended up with six hits.
Geanangel helped her own cause with a solo home run, Brey Mays tallied two singles and an RBI and Mallorie Sullivan collected a run-scoring single. Also, Marissa DeFallo finished with a base hit.
"Mallorie Sullivan, we had her squeeze bunt," Penner said. "We were not really hitting the ball well. We were hitting it here and there. We decided to get with our bunt game to see if we could get something started."
Ivy Starcher took the loss for the Panthers. Starcher recorded eight strikeouts and four walks.
The Panthers were only able to muster a pair of base hits. Lauren Swiger ripped a run-scoring single, and Amy Balk collected a hit.
"That first inning was as crazy as it gets," Soos said. "That sums up the way the season went.
"We are losing some quality kids. You hate to see them graduate, but life goes on. We will rebuild, and we will come back again next year."
After a scoreless first inning, the Redskins took the early lead with a run on an error in the bottom of the second to take a 1-0 advantage.
The Redskins added to their lead in the fourth when Geanangel belted her home run over the fence in right-centerfield.
The victors plated three more runs in the fifth to gain control of the game. Mays and Sullivan netted run-scoring singles in the stanza. Another run scored on a wild pitch as the Redskins built a 5-0 lead.
The Panthers scored twice in the top of the sixth. A run scored on a wild pitch, and another scored on Swiger's single.
"Give Buckeye Local credit," Penner said. "They are a good team. Coach Soos does an outstanding job with those kids. Ivy pitched a good game. She struck out eight. We knew coming into the game that they were a good-hitting team. We knew we were going to have to keep them off-balance."
The game was the final one for Buckeye Local's five seniors - Kaylee DeCesare, Taryn Tonkovich, Balk, Aliyah Marelli and Rachel Hoagland.
Dover advanced to Tuesday's game by blanking Carrollton, 10-0, in five innings Wednesday at Carrollton.
"We are going to have to be ready to go," Penner said. "Hopefully, we can make some noise at districts."

Let Me In (2010)
Let Me In Synopsis
An alienated 12-year-old boy befriends a mysterious young newcomer in his small New Mexico town, and discovers an unconventional path to adulthood in Let Me In, a haunting and provocative thriller written and directed by filmmaker Matt Reeves (Cloverfield).
Twelve-year old Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee) is viciously bullied by his classmates and neglected by his divorcing parents. Achingly lonely, Owen spends his days plotting revenge on his middle school tormentors and his evenings spying on the other inhabitants of his apartment complex. His only friend is his new neighbor Abby (Chloe Moretz), an eerily self-possessed young girl who lives next door with her silent father (Oscar nominee Richard Jenkins). A frail, troubled child about Owenss age, Abby emerges from her heavily curtained apartment only at night and always barefoot, seemingly immune to the bitter winter elements. Recognizing a fellow outcast, Owen opens up to her and before long, the two have formed a unique bond.
When a string of grisly murders puts the town on high alert, Abbys father disappears, and the terrified girl is left to fend for herself. Still, she repeatedly rebuffs Owens efforts to help her and her increasingly bizarre behavior leads the imaginative Owen to suspect shes hiding an unthinkable secret.
The gifted cast of Let Me In takes audiences straight to the troubled heart of adolescent longing and loneliness in an astonishing coming-of-age story based on the best-selling Swedish novel Lat den Ratte Komma In (Let the Right One In) by John Ajvide Lindqvist, and the highly-acclaimed film of the same name.

When I really want to emphasize height, I create a simplified version of my intended structure in 3D with shadows and render the image to show me how the shadows are cast. Then line up the rendered image with my mapped version of the structure and duplicate the shadows as transparent dark shapes. On my second challenge map in October 2007, I was creating a temple with onion style turrets on the towers like on Russian Orthodox or Muslim temples. I didn't know what an onion turret might look like as a shadow. I did this exact technique to figure that out - it worked.

Operation rescue
Pakistan | A Pakistani Christian frees kidnapped Christian children-and faces the wrath of Pakistan's terrorist slavers
As befits a fugitive with an alias, "Amir" is both a hero and a hunted man. In hiding since May from a Pakistani terrorist group doggedly tracing him, he wrote in an e-mail on June 18, "I know that they will kill me soon." But no fear, he wrote in broken English: "I am ready for die."
Amir, a Christian in majority-Muslim Pakistan, knew he would have to flee with his family when he mounted an undercover rescue of Christian children kidnapped by Muslim traffickers. In doing so, he gathered film footage that could severely damage a popular Islamic charity-and terrorist front-in Pakistan, called Jamaat ud Dawa, or JUD.
While his life was always at risk, things turned worse weeks after the rescue. Amir hoped to win safe passage to the United States or another country to escape JUD. But while U.S. embassy and State Department officials have seemed eager to collect his evidence against JUD, they offered no visa or asylum as of June 22, more than a month since Amir pleaded for sanctuary.
"The more he reveals to State and they start working with the Pakistani government, the more JUD will be motivated to find him and kill him," said David, the American missionary who helped Amir redeem the children. (WORLD interviewed David twice and examined the photos Amir and others had taken; revealing David's full name would endanger his life.) With corruption rampant in the Pakistani government, he told WORLD, "it's one bribe away from [Amir's] whereabouts being discovered by the wrong person."
The story began in February, when David visited Pakistan to work with Amir. After reading about children sold into slavery, he says he asked Amir if they could save a few by buying them from slavers. He was thinking aloud, but Amir would soon be several steps ahead of him.
Within about two weeks, Amir wrote to David in the United States and said he had been able to infiltrate a slave network near Quetta in Balochistan, one of the fractious provinces that border Afghanistan. Posing as a businessman who wanted children for a begging ring, Amir gave a $500 down payment on three boys among 20 he chose from a photo album, promising the rest of the money later.
"I was totally blown away by that," David said. Now he had to raise the rest of the $5,000 Amir had pledged within two months, when he was due to return to Pakistan. The sum was an apparent bulk discount, because one child's kidneys could sell for $3,000. The traffickers told him they had other marketable uses for boys and girls, whom they like to be between ages 5 and 10: for sex, as camel jockeys in the Middle East, and as drug carriers for smugglers. The slavers also said they target Christians, considered infidels, and never abduct Muslim children.
David struggled with the wisdom of buying the children. He thought, All we're really doing is buying three kids so they can restock their inventory and get three more. So he and Amir devised a plan that would also snap the slave ring: Amir would wear a concealed camera that would record one of his next transactions with the traffickers. Then, he hoped, he could find honest officers within the Pakistani police force to help arrest them.
When Amir met the slavers again to pick up the three boys, he persuaded them to hand over pictures of the other 17 boys by paying them another $2,500 and promising to buy them all. That meant another $28,500 for David to raise through his small ministry within two months.
In the six weeks leading up to the May rescue, police worked closely with Amir: Two of them even traveled to Quetta with him as supposed bodyguards when he met with the slavers. The slavers agreed to bring the 17 boys to Punjab Province, where David and Amir would be. The two men agreed to fix the button camera to one of Amir's harmless-looking bodyguards so he could get wide-enough shots of the transaction and not just close-ups. Six police officers were to pose as field workers nearby so they could quickly call for backup and capture the slavers.
The rendezvous was set for 2 p.m. May 10. But instead of bringing the boys to Amir, a man stepped into Amir's car and directed him along obscure one-lane roads surrounded by fields. The police could not follow without being discovered, so Amir was on his own. Another man then got in and guided Amir deeper into the countryside. Finally, they came upon head slaver Gul Khan sitting on a bench in a field with some 15 heavily armed men, having his shoulders massaged.
Mr. Khan told him they needed to check whether Amir's money was counterfeit first, and took his bodyguard hostage in case it was. Amir managed to rip the camera off the bodyguard first; he ordered him to open his car's trunk, which gave him enough cover to make the exchange.
As the night deepened, Amir did something else daring: He followed Mr. Khan's car and filmed him driving to JUD's headquarters near Muridke, Punjab. The next night, Mr. Khan fixed a drop-off point for the boys and the bodyguard. Amir arranged for friends to pick them up and take them to a Christian friend's home.
David and Amir the next morning woke the boys-filthy after months of captivity in a windowless room-and told them they were safe and going home. "None of them smiled," David said. "I don't think any of them believed us."
The men split up the group to protect the boys from a fresh kidnapping, and within days Amir and David, with a London Times reporter tagging along, returned six to their families. They came from all over Pakistan, aged about 7 to 13, convincing David and Amir further that this was a JUD operation. Only a network could have scouted out villages and identified Christian children. "Again, all of them were Christian kids," David said. "The chances of them randomly selecting 20 Christian boys are quite rare." In the end, Amir also purchased 15 kidnapped girls in May.
David says that as the boys neared their homes, their eyes lit up as they recognized landmarks. The first boy they returned had a 2-month-old baby brother he did not know about. Some of the parents were too shocked to be happy, stunned to see sons they thought were gone forever and bewildered by the Westerners helping to return them. All who were asked said they did not bother to tell the police the boys were missing, because they did not have enough money to bribe officers.
But the last reunion, David said, was the most touching. A neighbor told the father of the last boy, Asif, that his son was coming and to sit at home until the car found his house. But he wouldn't wait, and came running down a path to find him, scooping up Asif in his arms.
With his work done, it was not long before JUD discovered Amir's treachery. By then he had fled, but JUD has been busy in the intervening weeks, locating Amir's home and office and then visiting them, asking when he will return.
The State Department has designated JUD as a terrorist group, one of the faces of a large organization called Lashkar-i-Taiba (LT) that fights against India in the disputed region of Kashmir. In 2002, Pakistan banned LT. Some of their top members have reported links to al-Qaeda. Pakistanis, however, view JUD as a friendly charity. The group grew immensely popular after last year's massive earthquake by distributing food and medicine to survivors.
The U.S. embassy in Islamabad is still working on Amir's case, the State Department says. David has heard that they are asking Amir for details he has been afraid to give until he is safe, such as precise addresses for the children. Meanwhile, U.S. lawmakers such as Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) have pressed for quick action to give Amir sanctuary. Now Amir hopes just to win safety for his family.
Stopping JUD is the "way we can save so many families," he wrote David in the same June 18 e-mail. "And [I] believe that [the] Lord will give me the reward of my efforts."

FEMA extends deadline for Sandy claims
Clock still ticking on efforts to contest insurance settlements
1 2 3 Next page >
As the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Sandy draws closer, so do the deadlines for pursuing legal action against insurance companies.
Proof of loss is a form used by policyholders to detail the amount they are claiming under their policies. It must be submitted with supporting documentation, like invoices and engineers' reports. Local attorney Denis Kelly, who has held free seminars to help people navigate the process, said that policyholders cannot pursue legal action against their insurance companies without submitting the form, and if it is not submitted by the deadline, an insurance company may close a file and consider a claim complete.
After a flood, a policyholder usually must file a proof of loss within 60 days. After Sandy, the Federal Emergency Management Agency extended that deadline one year to Oct. 29, 2013. This week, however, FEMA announced that, at the request of U.S. Sens. Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, that deadline has once again been extended, for an additional six months.
"A six-month extension will help ensure that families aren't denied the insurance money they deserved because of missing paperwork they didn't know they needed to file," Schumer said. "Sandy was a storm unlike any we've ever seen, and the rebuilding process is incredibly complex. This extension takes that complexity into account."

I'm not sure if this is the right place to report any issues. I tried to install a small multi-server ZCS NE on Centos 6.2 and found I was unable to log in at all. This stopped me from evaluating the product.
The login page appeared but the correct user and password were never accepted, and intermittently a message about the browser needing to accept cookies was shown (the browser does allow cookies).
There may have been a proxy configuration issue but somehow I doubt it. The login page was shown correctly.
I'm continuing with a single machine install to see if I can get it to work. A shame because I was partly interested in the UI changes but also because I wanted to try out the multi-master LDAP configuration.

BABOR Cleansing offers the first critical step in a high quality skin care regimen. All of the products offered from the BABOR Cleansing line gently but effectively remove makeup, excess oil, dirt and impurities from the skin's surface without stripping out natural oils. BABOR Cleansing prepares the skin for moisturizers and treatment products by removing the barrier that can prevent subsequent products from performing at their highest level.
BABOR Cleansing promotes a balanced and healthy complexion. Every skin care regimen should begin with an appropriate choice from the BABOR Cleansing line. Skin should be thoroughly purified with BABOR Cleansing before any hydrators or treatments are applied.
Different skin types require specialized care which is why BABOR Cleansing offers a variety of choices to accommodate varying complexions.
BABOR Hy-Ol & Phytoactive Sensitive Cleansing System is a duo process cleansing kit that is ideal for hyper reactive skin that tends to get irritated when cleansed. The BABOR Hy-Ol should be applied first. Then the phytoactive cleanser should follow. Massage into the skin with wet fingers. When the skin is rinsed, it is left calm and balanced and ready for the next step. Rather than drying and irritating, BABOR Hy-Ol & Phytoactive Sensitive Cleansing System hydrates and soothes, reducing redness and sensitivity.
BABOR Phytoactive Combination is suitable for skin that is oily or has a combination of dry patches on the cheeks and an oily T-zone. The BABOR Cleansing formula contains ingredients that help reduce inflammation and kill bacteria that can lead to breakouts. The pores are left refined and the complexion is left balanced. This cleanser can also be used with the SOOTHING HY-OL for exceptional results.
Certain products from the BABOR Cleansing line are geared towards a specific skin type but BABOR Rose Toning Lotion can be used by everyone. Simply start with a cleanser that is appropriate for your skin concerns and skin type. Once the skin has been cleansed and dried, apply the toner to a cotton ball or a cotton pad and then sweep over the entire face. BABOR Rose Toning Lotion contains no drying alcohol. It helps to moisturize and calm the skin.

Testimony :: The Honorable Gordon Smith
Commissioner - The Helsinki Commission
* This statement was submitted for the record
I'm pleased to have the opportunity to share about religious freedom in Russia. Tolerance in the Russian Federation, the Soviet Union and Czarist Russia, particularly the plight of the Jewish community, has been on the forefront of our bilateral relationship. In fact, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has held hearings on religious freedom in Russia - and the plight of its Jewish community throughout this century and even in the 19th century.
Until 1917 the Russian Empire was home to the world's largest Jewish community. From the time of their entry into the Empire, Jews suffered from discriminatory laws, including severe limitations on where they could live, and periodic eruptions of violence, known in English by their Russian name, "pogroms." The Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 offered false hope to many Jews that the injustices of the Tsarist period would end. In time, however, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union began a systematic campaign to eradicate all religion, including Judaism. Under Khrushchev, there was also a dramatic shift in Soviet foreign policy against Israel and toward the Arab countries.
Large-scale Jewish emigration from the Soviet Union revived in the 1960s, when the Jewish population numbered 2-3 million. Jewish emigration peaked in the late 1980s and 1990s. Today, the Jewish community in Russia numbers between 500,000-600,000, the third largest in the world. (Large numbers of Jews remain in other former Soviet states, especially Ukraine.)
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, a revival of the Jewish community in Russia has occurred. Several synagogues have reopened, and over 100 Jewish organizations and groups operate in Moscow, including religious, cultural, research and education, and charitable institutions. Despite these improvements, the Jewish community was reminded of its precarious position in Russia through a series of recent anti-Semitic actions and statements.
The August 1998 devaluation of Russia's currency, the ruble, sank the exchange rate and caused many Russians to lose their savings. It also attached a tremendous price tag to imports, including food and other consumer goods. Amidst these difficult circumstances, there has developed an increased sense of insecurity among Russian Jews, who have in recent years confronted strident anti-Semitic rhetoric in the political arena on both the national and local levels and a number of highly public acts of anti-Semitic violence.
In addition to the age-old formula of scapegoating Jews for society's ills, the present difficult situation in Russia is compounded by another disturbing fact. A high percentage of the so-called oligarches, -the highly visible, and detested, business tycoons who are believed to have profited immensely from corrupt privatization deals-are Jews, as were a number of prominent government officials associated with the privatization process.
The Senate has spoken out yearly in letters to present and past Presidents of the Russian Federation. Last year, President Vladimir put in spoke out against anti-Semitism in response to a letter signed by 98 United States Senators on March 9, 2000. Putin, in a March 15th interview said "Russia's main constitutional principle stipulates the protection of citizens' rights and interests regardless of nationality or religious affiliation. Any expressions of anti-Semitism are seen as aggressive nationalism and are therefore unacceptable. There is no place for them in a civilized society."
But there remain problems with religious tolerance in Russia. As a freshman senator in 1997 I offered an amendment to the Foreign Operations Bill that predicated foreign aid to the Russian Federation on the implementation of a new law restricting religious freedom in Russia. That law, passed by the Russian Duma on July 4 1997, had the potential of severely restricting freedom of religion in Russia. The bill was ironically titled "On Freedom of Conscience and On Religious Associations."
That bill was eventually signed into law - a law that required religious groups to register with the state and submit their religious doctrines and practices to scrutiny by a commission of experts with the power to deny religious status. Without this status, these groups would lose the rights to rent or own property, employ religious workers or conduct charitable and educational activities. Clearly that law in Russia and its implementation would have a grave impact on religious freedom in that country.
I'm happy to report that my 1997 amendment passed the Senate 95 to 4. In following years this amendment was included as part of the Foreign Operations Bill and was included again in the FY 2002 bill.
In my years in the Senate I have remained vigilant on the issue of religious freedom. The Foreign Relations Committee has held yearly hearings on religious freedom abroad - especially with regard to what is going on in the Russian Federation. I also host, with the Department of State, a series of yearly roundtable discussions on religious freedom. These roundtable discussions are attended by members of each religious community impacted by this new law in Russia and by various state department and NSC officials that are responsible for religious freedom abroad.
As the years went by and the registration period closed regarding religions, it was felt by all those interested in religious freedom in that country that this amendment was a positive influence on how the new Russian law was implemented. It let the Russian government know that Americans cared about freedom of religion in Russia - that the eyes of the world were upon the Russian government as it implemented the law on religions. Although the amendment has never been implemented - and each year aid has gone out to the Russian Federation - the amendment's influence and impact have been positive and undeniable according to those religions "on the ground" in Russia.
In general, many of the problems initially have worked themselves out under this new law. Many of the problems with denials of registration or persecution have occurred in the far reaches of the Russian Federation. The conventional wisdom regarding implementation of that law is that persecution occurs abroad - the farther away from Moscow and the centralized government, the greater the risk is for religious intolerance.
But even in Moscow there is a requirement of vigilance. And I am happy to report that this body has been vigilant on this issue - especially regarding the old problem of anti-Semitism in Russia. Some might say that we shouldn't single out Russia regarding this issue. I would agree - we should fight anti-Semitism in every nation including our own.
Because I believe that how a nation treats the sons and daughters of Israel is a bellwether for tolerance.
The Russian law, among other things, limits the activities of foreign missionaries and grants unregistered "religious groups" fewer rights than accredited Russian religious organizations such as the Russian Orthodox Church, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism. This law if poorly implemented, could also sharply restrict the activities of foreign missionaries in Russia.
One of my own constituents, Pastor Dan Pollard, is a missionary with a church in the Russian far east - in a town called Vanino. Pastor Pollard has been continually harassed by local officials, many who cite the 1997 law as an official reason for barring Pollard from ministering.
The Russian government must permit foreign missionaries to enter and reside in Russia and work with fellow believers. I strongly believe that foreign missionaries, like Pastor Pollard, should be allowed to enjoy the religious freedom guaranteed Russian citizens and legal residents by the Russian constitution, OSCE commitments, and other international agreements to which Russia is a signatory.
I want to thank the Chairman for holding this briefing and having the opportunity to discuss religious freedom in Russia. I believe that briefings such as this one shine the bright light of freedom on areas of human rights and tolerance that cannot be ignored by this country or by Russia.

Gadsden County, Florida June 25, 2012
Gadsden County Sheriff's Office arrest 40 year old Charles David Owens and a warrant sought for 37 year old Jennifer Bay alleging Lewd and Lascivious Acts on a minor.
Owens was a member of the Midway Volunteer Fire Department.
Bay was a member of a support organization for the department.
They're being charged with soliciting a 14 year old minor who was a member the Midway Volunteer Fire Fighter Explorer Program to engage in sexual acts with the couple.
Evidence of the acts was found after GCSO were alerted by the victim's family.
GCSO investigators ended up searching the home of Owens locating a camera with several pictures of the minor.
The couple committed lewd acts upon the minor at least five times according to the arrest affidavit.
Owens continued an ongoing sexual relationship with the minor.
Charles David Owens is charged with 25 counts of sexual assault on a juvenile and 25 count of possession of pornography.
Jennifer Bay is also charged with 5 counts of sexual assault on a juvenile.
City manager, Auburn Ford says Owens was fired in March 2012, for "bad behavior" that did not include these incidents.

Broadcasting Funerals Live Online: Easing a Burden For Families or Crossing A Line? (VIDEO)Danielle Smith
I've always considered funerals to be a very personal, private affair.
Emotional. Draining. Painful.
Not only for those closest to the deceased, but for everyone witnessing the loss. But part of the healing, I believe, is the comfort of knowing you are surrounded by people who care. But now, many funeral homes are starting to broadcast funerals LIVE online. Yes, they are still 'private' events – meaning they are password protected, but does this mean people will stop showing up in person to pay respects?
The idea, naturally, is to make the service available to friends and family who CAN'T attend, but, by putting it online, does it diminish the reverence owed the person we are supposed to be honoring?

I've heard this mentioned during other games this season that many believe he'll go to the NBA next year. From what we saw tonight I just don't see how any NBA team sees a pro athlete in him. Did he just have a really off night or is he just not that good?
lulz@him being a one and done. Dude needs about 4 more years just for hitting the weights.
Who was that other dude from Bailor who was supposed to be a one and done and we haven't heard from since?
Its size, you can't teach it. Perry Jones III wasn't that great either.
He would be fodder in the NBA unless he gets stronger.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
He is not that good. Just tall.

Perry Jones Stats, News, Videos, Highlights, Pictures, Bio - Oklahoma City Thunder - ESPN
Averaging 6.7 min per game and 1.7 points per game. Yep, what a pro prospect he was.
He clearly needs to get stronger, but if you think that kid isn't a good player you're crazy. He didn't have a great game tonight, but you just don't see 7'1" with those kinds of skills very often. Most 7' frosh look like they are going to trip over their own feet at any minute. Austin can handle the ball, has good footwork in the post, and has a good looking shot. I think he could definitely use another year in college to get stronger, but he will be an NBA player.
Durant is a stick as well. But Austin for all the hype is no where near the player KD was. He seemed to whine on every call as well.
The dude was 20 and 19 last game. Try watching more then one game before you judge. People who watched just the Iowa vs ISU game would say Clyburn was garbage. Too bad he was killing bears left and right tonight.

1) He got drafted lower because of knee issues.
2) He plays for OKC, you think he is going to play much on that team?

He is SOFT! That being said, he will probably be a lottery pick
Favorite posters: I hate you all
Guessing he will go nuts in Waco against us now.
This is a really weak draft class coming up this year. Austin is a 7 footer with a good stroke, you could do a lot worse than him with a mid first round pick. There's only a handful of rookies who actually contribute their first year each season. Austin clearly has a lot of potential.

I updated our Network Edition to 5.0.7, I also updated iSync connector. The menu where I can choose which calendars to synchronize disappeared (which is a shame):
Anyways, when I click to sync calendars using CalDAV, I only see, that new
calendar section with the same name as my e-mail address appeared, with no
calendars under that section. I also don't see any events from my iCal calendars in Zimbra, as I used to.
Contact synchronization is working properly. Is it possible to get old way
of synchronization of calendars? What should I do?

I know better, but... Lets assume for a moment that your statistics are correct. Are you taking into account societal differences? For instance Switzerland should be included in this discussion. They have almost universal. gun possession. Every citizen is a member of the armed forces and is required to have a weapon in the home. Their crime rate is much lower than ours.
Lahti: I understand your frustration behind two unrelated stories being presented as intricately connected. The numbers I presented ARE correct, and tell the truth: If you have fewer guns around, you have less gun related homicide.
I'll make an addition if i may: If you have fewer ILLEGAL guns around you have less gun related homicide.The problem has never been dads old shotgun or rifle he spent 30 years hunting with, its the $75 hot pistol bought under the radar in a back alley with the serial numbers filed off. Find a way to get rid of those and you've got something there. Its a shame that all the legislation in the world never seems to get those off the streets.For the record: I do not carry a loaded gun and do not keep a loaded gun in the house.
This discussion made me think of this Onion classic:http://www.theonion.com/articles/tornado-violence-are-tornadic-images-in-the-media,730/For the record, I don't think of this as a black and white, all or nothing issue. I don't own a gun, but enjoy shooting them and don't have a problem with others having guns. That said, I think there can be reasonable restrictions to gun ownership just like there are restrictions on other dangerous things like driving automobiles. Do I think very gun law out there makes sense? Not at all. I'm sure some are asinine. At the other end of the spectrum, I don't buy the notion that everybody walking around armed to the teeth makes us safer. I know some of you think there is no in between on this issue. That's ok - you can think what you want and I'll think what I want (of course I'm right though ). Does all that make me a "socialist queer"? Eamon
Does all that make me a "socialist queer"? Eamon
Excellent "food" papa! - And quite the "real world" examples as well. A man couldn't hardly argue with that.

Cyclone Notebook
- ISU (20-5, 8-5) looks to improve on its 5-1 record in February when it travels to TCU (9-16, 0-13) Saturday.
- Head coach Fred Hoiberg won his 82nd game as head coach of the Cyclones vs. UT, which leaves him behind only Larry Eustachy (84) in their first four years leading the program.
- Iowa State is one of just three schools nationally with three players averaging at least 16 ppg (VMI, Delaware). The Cyclones have had five different players tally 20+ points in a game this season. ISU is the only school in the nation to score 70+ points in every game.
- Melvin Ejim is the Big 12's top scorer at 19.1 points per game, up 7.8 ppg from last season. The last Cyclone to lead the conference in scoring was Marcus Fizer (1999, 2000).
- Ejim, who scored a Big 12 record 48 points and grabbed a career-high 18 boards in first meeting with TCU, is averaging 22.8 points and 11.4 rebounds in the last five games.

Kevin Durant added 20 points and tied his career high with five steals as NBA-best Oklahoma City led wire-to-wire for just the second time this season.
The Thunder opened a 16-point lead in the first quarter and remained in control throughout, pulling their starters for the fourth quarter with a 25-point edge. Denver mounted an 11-0 run against Oklahoma City's last five but that still only cut the deficit to 101-84.
Kosta Koufos had 16 points and nine rebounds to lead the Nuggets, who fell to 3-6 this season in the second game of a back-to-back set.

FTR Shippers' Condition Index at lowest level since 2004
April 14, 2011
As various factors such as increasing diesel prices, tight capacity, and rate pressure continue to take hold in the freight transportation market, they appear to be taking a toll on shippers, according to the April edition of the Shippers' Condition Index (SCI) released this week by freight transportation consultancy FTR Associates.
The SCI's current reading of -7.7 indicates what the firm described as "continued deterioration," with the outlook for capacity shortages getting worse. FTR bases the SCI on "all market influences that affect shippers," with a reading of zero reflecting a solid environment and anything below zero an unfavorable environment.
FTR officials said that the SCI is approaching levels that have not been seen since 2004, which was a difficult time for shippers. They added that shippers are currently feeling the impact of tighter capacity, with base rates for major modes—and their respective fuel surcharges—on the rise, adding that while they may see relief on fuel surcharges later in the year base rates are likely to continue heading up.
In an interview with LM, FTR Senior Consultant Larry Gross said that what is currently happening when it comes to rates is essentially a carrier—or supplier—market.
"There is no question about that, but it is not being done in a vindictive way," said Gross. "This is just the way supply and demand works, and right now we are going to go into a period of tight supply, which means that pressure is going to be on the shippers."
And with driver ability being the true key to capacity and the situation continues to tighten, Gross explained that carriers are going to be looking "very differently" at shippers that provide them the opportunity to make good use of their drivers compared to shipper customers that don't make good use of drivers.
An example of the latter would be a shipper that experiences routine delays or has shipments tied up at loading dock, which from a carrier's standpoint is undesirable and waste drivers' time.
"That type of shipper is going to find it a whole lot more difficult to get capacity, and it will get more expense for them to get freight moved, with carriers becoming more discriminating," said Gross. "Shippers are not helpless here; they can do things that are going to help them during this tight capacity situation."

Three Dog Nights
January 26, 2013
How soon we forget. We've been spoiled in recent years when it comes to really cold and snowy winters. This week's deep freeze combined with snow alerts have sent the Ohio Valley into a tizzy....
The term, "three dog night", refers to the practice of having sled dogs sleep next to you to help fight off the intense chill. A "3 dog night" was usually at least 30-to-50 below zero. The coldest I ever experienced was minus 70 degrees. Camped in an unheated tent was miserable even with the best of sleeping bags, caribou skin mats and fully dressed in down insulated clothes and double caribou skin parka. I learned that real cold will scare you.

text: News of civil military standoff in Pakistan is not something new. For a country which has been governed by the military regime for more than 30 years has witnessed many such instances where democratically elected government and Army has time and again involved into asserting their authority over each other. The final result in all such instances has been the murder of democracy in Pakistan. We have seen democratically elected Prime Minister being hanged by military rulers and democratically elected Prime Minister having their handcuffs, spending their time in Adiala Jail and then forcibly exiled. No one in Pakistan has even forgotten that their Constitutional Chief Justice was stripped off his power during the coup of 1999 and how their elected President was forcibly kicked out of his office during that coup. Neither one can forget the treatment meted out to the current Chief Justice and… Read more

A few months ago, this Thai push-up bra commercial went viral. The original video gained over 9 million views since being uploaded:
In honor of LGBT History Month, we decided to bring this video back and take a closer look. It's clear why the video has so many views with its unexpected ending. Generally, the video was well-received. One viewer commented, "He is attractive both as a girl and a boy." Another humored viewer commented, "Well the push-up bra definitely works then."
Although there were still a share of individuals who argued that they were "tricked" and showed anger towards the commercial, people were generally entertained. The commercial didn't present the transgender community in a negative light and did not try to make fun of it.
This is not necessarily the case for all Thai commercials containing transgender characters. The following IKEA commercial angered the Thai Transgender Alliance for being "negative," "stereotypical," and a "gross violation of human rights."
The commercial shows a couple walking through IKEA. The woman becomes so excited with a sale for pillows that her voice drops and horrifies her boyfriend. The end shows the boyfriend running off in the opposite direction. The Thai Transgender Alliance argues that "the transgender content of the advertisement is negative and stereotypical in nature, perpetuating misunderstanding transgenderism as human sexuality for 'deceitful and deviant lifestyle.'"
Unfortunately, this is not the first time IKEA has poked fun at the transgender community. Another IKEA commercial, this time coming from France, shows a woman getting ready to go out. She accidentally knocks into a low table and hits her crotch– revealing she was physically born a man.
Although the difference between the first commercial and the last two may seem slight to some, it makes a load of difference. There is a clear distinction between a commercial showing someone proud of their gender identity versus another commercial showing an individual running away from a transgender out of fear.
In honor of LGBT history month, lets try to make it a lasting habit to stay conscious of these differences.

In the Bizarro World – also known as Htrae (Earth spelled backwards) – society is ruled by the Bizarro Code which states "Us do opposite of all Earthly things! Us hate beauty! Us love ugliness! Is big crime to make anything perfect on Bizarro World!" Since its introduction in DC comics in the early 1960s the concept of "Bizarro" has been ingrained in popular culture where it has come to mean a weirdly mutilated version of anything; so has the concept of "Bizarro World". With their newest record DEADLOCK are now designing their interpretation of a world built up on extremes and antitheses.
Over their previous LIFEFORCE offerings "Earth.Revolt" (2005), "Wolves" (2007) and "Manifesto" (2008) DEADLOCK have accentuated the signature of their metal-sound in between beauty and darkness with increasing relevance. No wonder the German metallers were chosen to support LACUNA COIL, ALL THAT REMAINS, Sonic Syndicate, Dark Tranquillity, CALIBAN and Heaven Shall Burn within the past two years.
Produced by guitarist Sebastian Reichl begin DEADLOCK's fifth album "Bizarro World" fascinates with courageous dramaturgy and passionate, dark atmospheres. The sextet found an extensive idea to work with and to challenge creativity. The sound of DEADLOCK is best known for being a combination of opposed elements such as sharp guitar-assaults, pop- and dance-quotations, orchestral profundity, gruffly growls and beautiful clean vocals. On their new album the band improves on what they already did so well and offers a wider and self-assured view on symphonic, yet brutal metal based on a progressive approach. "Bizarro World" somehow sounds perfect - contrary to the concept of a world stigmatizing perfection. "Bizarro World" entered the German album charts on position # 61, followed up by a release tour and festivals slots at With Full Force, Summer Breeze, Wacken, etc.

Mears' Top-20 Run Plagued by Tire and Transmission Issues at Martinsville
Posted by: lori on Apr 04, 2011

Mears' Top-20 Run Plagued by Tire and Transmission Issues at Martinsville
Date: April 3, 2011
Event: Goody's Fast Relief 500 (Round 6 of 36)
Series: NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
Location: Martinsville (Va.) Speedway (.526-mile oval)
Start/Finish: 30th/ 36th (Running, completed 457 of 500 laps)
Drivers love and love to hate short tracks. Early in his career, Casey Mears enjoyed racing on the intermediate circuits more than the short ones but as the years progressed, those less than a mile in length have provided numerous highlights for the veteran driver. Entering Sunday's Goody's Fast Relief 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway, Mears looked to insert another positive run in the history books.
For the first 296 laps, all went as planned for the GEICO Racing team as Mears successfully competed inside the top-25. Then, one short lap later, the bad luck struck the No. 13 Toyota Camry as Mears' right-front tire blew forcing the team to pit under green and lose four laps to the leader. Misfortune plagued Mears once again with less than 150 laps until the checkered flag, when the transmission blew. Once changed in the garage area, the Gecko returned to the track and brought home a 36th-place finish at the .526-mile paperclip-shaped oval.
"It was a frustrating day," said Mears. "Every time myself, (crew chief) Bootie (Barker), and the guys get the No. 13 GEICO Toyota Camry handling well and in position to have a solid finish, something happens. First, we had the bead melt on the tire and then fourth gear blew out of the transmission. Bad luck seems to be following us but we will just keep moving forward, try to fix the issues, and head to Texas."
Mears qualified his GEICO Racing Toyota Camry in the 30th position on Saturday afternoon, as the Germain Racing team was locked in the top-35 in owner point standings for the first time this season. As soon as the green flag waved on Sunday, Mears didn't waste any time before making moves through the field. In the first 50 laps of green flag competition, Mears picked up 12 positions to 18th-place.
Solid pit stops by the GEICO crew, paired with Mears' patience behind the wheel, set the stage for a top-20 finish as the race passed the halfway mark. On lap 297, Mears radioed to his team that his right-front tire had blew. The field stayed under green flag conditions while Mears brought his car to pit road, putting the team four laps down and running in 28th-place.
As Mears was clocking laps to complete the race and gain as many points as possible, the transmission blew on lap 359, causing the GEICO Toyota to come to the garage for repairs. In a short 37 laps, the team rapidly changed the transmission and had Mears back on the track for the final 100 circuits. Despite the Camry handling decent in final stretch, Mears crossed the finish line in the 36th position, completing 457 of 500 laps.
With the sixth of 36 races complete, Mears dropped two positions to 37th-place in the owner championship standings. He currently sits two points behind the locked-in top-35 marker.
Next Saturday, April 9, the Sprint Cup Series will head to Texas Motor Speedway for the Samsung Mobile 500 in Fort Worth. The race starts at 7:30 p.m. ET with live coverage on FOX.

Beyonce and Jay-Z have been dragged into a bizarre death case after their former bodyguard was killed following a standoff with police called to a break-in at a home in Florida.
Norman Oosterbroek died last week after police were forced to Taser him and now it has emerged he allegedly hired a prostitute in Las Vegas while on duty working for the couple.
Oosterbroek, who also worked for Lady Gaga among others, was discovered by police, naked and ingesting what appeared to be narcotics, after breaking into a neighbor's home in Miami and physically assaulting him.
After being Tasered by police, he was pronounced dead a short time later at Baptist Hospital.
Now New York Daily News editors have uncovered details about the 43-year-old's sordid past, claiming he was fired by Beyonce and Jay Z after they discovered that he had solicited a prostitute while on duty for them in Las Vegas.

Ca,az,nv,ut. How expensive is colorado? I have never looked into it because it cost so darn much to put in for elk and deer!
Where do guys build your points. I currently have points in CA, NV, CO. With more to come once I find that mythical money tree!
Ca,az,nv,ut. How expensive is colorado? I have never looked into it because it cost so darn much to put in for elk and deer!
Dang! The 700$ kills me for elk deer, I hate to see people earn interest on my cash.
Maybe when I get a decent paying job I will up my game.
I put in for Wyoming;mostly because I don't have to tie up my money. I'm talking about just buying points, not putting into the draw. I think I'd look at Cabelas TAGS service if I wan't to apply in all applicable states. They front all the money, of course they don't front it all and not cost you fees. Like you say, you have to pay if you want to play. Sometimes I think it may just be better to pay for a hunt up in alberta for sheep and moose. Its really expensive but at least you don't have too play the waiting game.
Ya it is really expensive, I have just been buying preference points until I finish school...
There has been a lot of talk on different threads about how much tags cost, how long I have to wait to get my money back, why it takes so long after the draw, my money is being used, etc....... I understand how tough the dollar is to earn these days . I am 51 years old and believe me when I was younger the money sent out for use on tags in different states was tough and fortunately it is now getting easier, but I look at it this way. More than anything else, by far, I spend more time with my horses, hunting and scouting, planning and anything associated with the pursuit and I will do just about anything to get out of work to do this. If my only gripe is that the division holds on to my money too long but I get it all back or damn near all of it back then I should be greatful. If you stop and think of all the things that you pay for and don't recieve anything in return for ( I am talking about my taxes being spent on programs for others ). I can bitch sometimes about the divisions policies and what I would do if I was them but by and large as long as I can hunt, have quality hunts and enjoy my hunts then i don't mind them using my money. If they didn't use my money they would have to make it up somewhre else ( higher license fees). I understand the higher fees for out of state licenses and think that some tags are just crazy pricey but what can you do. It is supply and demand and I don't see the demand going down. Hate the game don't hate the player!
BKC, I would have to agree. At least we get most of it back....all but a few bucks.
-NRA Life Member
Yup, BKC, I agree totally. You have to pay for what you love to do, plain and simple! That being said it still hurts the wallet!

Translating His Honorable Life to Today's World
The 2014 Virginia Military Institute Leadership Conference will take place on 25 February 2014. Designed for an audience of the Corps of Cadets and interested faculty and staff, this year's conference will explore George Washington as an exemplar of honor and leadership. Participants will examine this heroic figure to gain a deeper understanding of his motivations and decisions, and be challenged to decide if the leadership insight gleaned is still relevant in the world today. This year's conference will provide a forum for cadets to discuss the themes of Washington's life including honor, leadership, public service and self-improvement. Such discussions enhance the leadership training system of VMI, allowing cadets to reflect on their own philosophies and skills while examining those of others.
Note to Cadets: Uniform for the conference is class dyke.

It is impressive that they are on such a run. Two things about it.
1. I can't wait until they lose in regulation so we can stop hearing about it days before and after each game.
2. They have lost three times so far this season in the shootout. A loss is a loss. The NHL needs to either eliminate it or count it. Right now, they're doing both.

Full House For Cold Spring Storytime
More than 30 children and ten adults attended the Leap Into Reading storytime at the Cold Spring Public Library on July 11. The library was packed. Storytimes usually take place in a designated meeting room, but the library is in a building that houses City of Cold Spring offices, and other city employees were meeting.
Storytime crowded into the children's area. Max Backes, a retired Early Childhood Family Education teacher, led the storytime. After beginning with some loosening up exercises to relax the kids, she read The Caterpillar And The Polliwog by Jack Kent, Fine As We Are by Algy Craig Hall, and other stories. Hopper, Great River Regional Library's big, green, Leap Into Reading Mascot sat alongside Backes. He never gets tired of frog stories. Later, children made masks at crafting tables in the library's adult area.
Cold Spring Public Library was one of the busiest Great River Regional Library locations in 2011, but it has one of the smallest footprints and no staff or storage room. The library has been engaged in a fundraising and planning process for several years with the goal of moving to a location large enough to match the community's potential usage.

Hi All
I have just taken on a customer who has a Zimbra 7.1 server running on Ubuntu 10.4 64 bit. This is the network editions with Outlook connector and 1 or 2 users are complaining the search is not finding data, 1 is also complaining about it shutting down Outlook all the time.
The Outlook install is good on these machine but I did notice that the user who's Outlook closes has a mailbox of 31gb and the others with search issue are running around 15gb.
Personally I think this is far to high but was wondering everyone's thoughts here and if this is the cause of the issues with searching, especially with the user who's outlook keeps now closing with a 31gb mailbox. I am guessing there are some limits here but not sure what they are for Zimbra, the Outlook connector & Outlook 2007.
