A voice for the voiceless
Abortion | Forty years after Roe v. Wade, March for Life participants brave the icy streets of Washington to send a loud and clear message to America
WASHINGTON—Four days after the presidential inauguration, tens of thousands of people returned to the National Mall for another kind of rally. This time it was for life.
Scores of pro-life supporters Friday braved freezing temperatures and a steady wet snow in the nation's capital to speak for the voiceless at the annual March for Life.
This year's event carried special significance coming on the week that the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion turned 40 years old.
Speakers at the main stage called for the Supreme Court justices to overturn that decision, and they pleaded with lawmakers to take significant pro-life actions such as cutting off the federal funds now supporting top abortion provider Planned Parenthood.
Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., called the Supreme Court ruling a "reckless and inhumane" abandonment of women and babies.
"Since 1973, more than 55 million children have been killed by abortion, a staggering loss of children's precious lives, a death toll that equates to the entire population of England," Smith said. "The passage of time hasn't changed the fact that abortion is a serious, lethal violation of fundamental human rights."
While politicians and policy makers took over the stage, the people took over the street. The day belonged to the throngs who marched from the National Mall up Constitution Avenue past the U.S. Capitol to the Supreme Court.
They came from states like Kentucky, Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, and Ohio.
Dozens of women held aloft signs reading, "I do regret my abortion," while hundreds of teenagers waved posters printed with the words: "I am the pro-life generation."
Some carried homemade wooden crosses while others cradled babies. They chanted, beat drums, blew horns, and shouted Scripture verses as they trekked through the snowy street.
While media reports may call the event a protest over abortion, the gathering was also a celebration of life, one that included masses of young people from high schools and colleges across the nation.
Olivia Karas attended her ninth March for Life despite being just 20 years old. The college junior boarded one of five buses filled with 275 students from Chicago. They came to the March for Life wearing matching bright yellow sweatshirts with the letters "L" and "I" on one side and "F" and "E" on the other.
"We want to be a loud voice for those who don't have a voice," said Karas, who has become more vocal about her pro-life stance since seeing several friends at her college struggle with what to do with an unintended pregnancy.
She said the amount of young people at the March is a sign that the rally will remain strong: "We will keep this thing going until hopefully one day abortion will be illegal in this country and there will be no need for this. Every year I hope I don't have to come back."
As the crowd poured around her and neared the Supreme Court, Mary Kominsky, 57, stood still in the middle of the street holding a sign that said she regretted her abortion. As a 17-year-old in 1973, the year of Roe v. Wade, Kominsky aborted a child.
"My baby would have turned 40 today," said the Westfield, N.J., resident.
She buried her feelings inside until 23 years ago when she gave birth to another child.
"The memories came back," she said as marchers passing by gave her hugs or pats on the back. "My womb was once a place of death, and now it was a place for new life. It shook me to my core."
A ministry back home has helped her heal.
"God forgives everything," she said. "But there are consequences."
Standing nearby, Millie Lace of Wynne, Ark., recounted the abortion she had in 1979 when she was 25 years old. She thought she was getting rid of tissue. But in the recovery room after the abortion another patient turned to Lace and asked, "Was yours a boy or a girl?"
Lace gasped at the question and spent the next 12 years struggling over her decision. The bold testimony of another woman inspired her to start her own ministry hotline for struggling women called Concepts of Truth.
"Shame is the ultimate silencer," Lace said. "As long as the enemy keeps you in shame, your baby will have no voice."
Scattered throughout the crowd, a few men carried signs that reminded the gathering that men suffer from abortions as well.
Bill, who did not want to give his last name because some of his family members do not know his story, said he lost a child to abortion nearly 30 years ago.
"I did not stand up for the soul that didn't get to see the light of day," he said. "I have to trust he is in the care of Jesus."

Juice Beauty was born when Karen Behnke, a serial wellness entrepreneur who built one of the first corporate wellness companies in the country, became passionate about the safety and efficacy of personal care products upon becoming pregnant with her first child at the age of 40. She learned that 64% of what you place on the skin is absorbed into our bodies. Juice Beauty's mission is to lead the industry with high efficacy and authentically organic beauty products while inspiring the ultimate customer experience. Made in the USA, all of their products contain organic juices bringing their total organic content up to 98%.
See our Q&A with Karen Behnke, Founding Partner of Juice Beauty.
The brand Juice Beauty overturned established skin care science by placing organic juice at the heart of its formulations, rather than water or petroleum derivatives. The result of this innovative approach is a range of skin care products that provide intense nourishment for the complexion.
By harnessing the power of nature, Juice Beauty delivers measurable results from its cutting-edge skin care range. Juice Beauty Stem Cellular products contain fruit stem cells that help repair and restore aging or sun-damaged skin. Potent Green Apple Skin Peel exfoliates and retextures the complexion, helping to provide a more even skin tone. Alpha and beta hydroxy acids strip away dead skin cells to reveal a fresher, brighter complexion.
If your skin is prone to breakouts, Juice Beauty offers a range of blemish clearing solutions that you may find beneficial. Blemish Clearing Serum combines salicylic acid with organic fruit acids to unclog pores and brighten the skin. Vitamin C, organic aloe and CoQ10 restore and renew the complexion.
Along with purifying and protecting the skin, Juice Beauty also provides a range of cosmetics that help to nourish the skin while adding color. From tinted moisturizers and concealers to full-coverage foundation, you can achieve a flawless base that suits your style. Give yourself a healthy glow with a hint of blush. Eye and lip colors allow you to complete your look without damaging or drying out your skin.
Because the Juice Beauty range uses organic ingredients, its products are free from chemicals and additives that may irritate sensitive or reactive skins.

After months of tracking trouble, I found it
Posted 19 November 2012 - 12:40 PM
My RMS is was an average of 1.6 arcseconds with error's jumping up and down sometimes as much as 4 pixels. Now I am down to an RMS of 0.6 to 0.8 without much care and thought to balancing the mount properly. This is at 2000mm using my OAG.
I am now contemplating what else I can do so that I can take images at 2000mm as my stars are still not perfectly round, but this is a giant leap ahead for me.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 01:35 PM
2000mm is still going to be a bear; have you tried a focal reducer?
Posted 19 November 2012 - 02:22 PM
Are you using a guidescope or off-axis guiding? I used a guidescope and could never get round stars until I went to off-axis guiding to get rid of flex(though this does come with it's own annoyances such as it being harder to find guide stars, unless you have the cash for the new on-axis guiders).
Posted 19 November 2012 - 02:37 PM
I'm considering the Ovision, but after the damage from the new STT-8300 with built in OAG, my wallet is looking mighty slim now
I'm getting the same amount of error with my OAG as I was with my guide scope. That's because my guide scope was mounted very rigidly.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 05:25 PM
I have these troubles with my G11 as well but the last attempt at autoguiding gave me 10 minutes with almost complete round stars at 100% Of course that was at 900mm.
Im also considering the Ovision. I just haven't pulled the trigger yet. Are you using a stock G11 or do you have the OPWB?
Posted 19 November 2012 - 11:57 PM
Posted 20 November 2012 - 02:05 AM
My next step is to obtain the adapter I need to attach my Optec Lepus reducer to my camera which has STL threads. That should bring down the FL to something like 1200 mm. If I can image well at that focal length I will not bother to make any more adjustments.
Posted 20 November 2012 - 01:17 PM
Try giving Scott or Russell an email. You've have a continual problem & they might be willing to send you a new worm. If not then a new high precision brass worm is $60 USD.

Now I just have to see how repeatable this performance is, I have had instances before of non repeatable high performance in guiding. If these results are consistent, then I am a happy man.
Posted 21 November 2012 - 12:12 PM
i still have not gotten my collimation fixed, so the fwhm of my images is a bit high, but for the most part i'm seeing round stars with the OAG built into the STT's filter wheel. not perfectly round mind you, but certainly good enough (aspect ratio in the low 90%s)
i would have never expected this since i've measured the PE of this mount at almost 30 arcseconds peak-to-peak. of course, when it comes to autoguiding, the absolute error is not as important as the rate of change of the error. i do have a couple of spots on the worm where the rate of change is kind of high.
i'm using Equinox Image on the mac. the guiding usually reports an RMS of 1.2-2px error, which seems too high, but i guess the results speak for themselves.
not sure what the image scale of the guide camera is.
Posted 21 November 2012 - 12:32 PM
I dunno, My mount came with one of each, steel in the DEC Brass in the RA. When I changed the RA to the OPW I moved the brass to the DEC. I didn't ANY problem telling brass from steel. Any doubt, check it with a magnet.

My original worm definetly had physical damage, but I believe my biggest improvement came after reducing Dec axis backlash. I wanted to further test it tonight, but it has clouded over beyond any hope.

text: Inside Intel's battle to keep Stephen Hawking talking Technology 11 January 12 by Gordon Kelly Gordon Kelly / Intel "I was here in October and I plugged my phone in when I went to bed and when I woke up in the morning it was completely dead. It would not boot, would not charge, would not do anything and I suddenly had the realisation my whole life had collapsed into this little device."Justin Rattner could not have begun our conversation more aptly. Intel's chief technology officer has been at the Mountain View, California company for nearly 40 years. He has two Intel Achievement Awards, stands on its Research and Academic Advisory Councils and has been named one of the 200 individuals currently having the greatest impact on the US computer industry. He also has a passion project: heading up the team that works tirelessly to evolve the technology that keeps Stephen Hawking communicating with the outside world. "It got started about 15 years ago," says Rattner, an endearing man with a broad, almost child-like, smile. "Stephen and Intel's co-founder Gordon Moore were at a conference together and Gordon saw the machine Stephen was using had an AMD processor and he said something to the effect of 'How would you like a real computer?' and Stephen said 'Fine, that would be great'. Gordon asked the UK team to get engaged with Stephen and his support folks and provide him with a new Intel-based machine and it has just carried on. As the technology has improved they have continued to upgrade his system."Hawking has motor neurone disease related to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), caused by the degeneration of upper and lower neurons in the spinal cord and the cortical neurons that provide their motor functions. He was diagnosed in 1963, shortly after his 21st birthday, and given just a few years to live. Fast-forward five decades and Rattner was in town because the renowned scientist was about to celebrate his 70th birthday and a symposium with friends, family, scholars and noted academics had been arranged by the University of Cambridge in his honour. As if to remind the world of his fragile condition Hawking ultimately missed the event due to ill health, but left a rousing pre-recorded speech that looked back on his life, studies, illness and the importance of hope: "Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet".This bout of illness will pass, but for Rattner the challenge of Hawking's ALS will not. 11 years after his diagnosis Hawking could still feed himself and get in and out of bed unaided, but by 1985 a case of pneumonia and a tracheotomy left him in need of 24-hour nursing care and robbed him of the ability to speak. A speech synthesiser gave him a new and famous voice, a computer was fitted to his wheelchair and he selected words from a series of menus by hand."I can manage up to 15 words a minute," wrote Hawking on his website about the technology. "I can either speak what I have written, or save it to disk. I can then print it out, or call it back and speak it sentence by sentence." The problem is the website is out of date -- Hawking can no longer move his hands and his disease has progressed. "Now as we're starting to look at ways to boost his performance back up, it is great having so much of that history," explains Rattner. "What we learnt in our last visit is that this is not some sort of experiment we're running, this is his life and you have to be extremely sensitive to that and not put him through some arduous set of tasks to get that working -- and that makes the challenge all the greater because you can't run a set of experiments."

International Services (IS) facilitates international trade and fulfills APHIS' mission to prevent the spread of pests harmful to U.S. agriculture such as the New World Screwworm, Cochliomyia hominivorax, and species of the Mexican and Mediterranean fruit flies. International Services co-sponsors these cooperative foreign pest programs through sterile fly release facilities in other countries which reduces risks of reintroducing these pests into the U.S. through exposures due to travel or international trade.
APHIS-International Services has a long history in administering sterile fly release programs, both formerly in the United States, and currently in Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America with the goal of controlling these dangerous and invasive pests in the Americas. Pests we focus on are the New American Screwworm (Cochliomyia hominivorax), which is particularly dangerous to humans, pets and livestock.
Also of concern is the Mediterranean Fruit Fly (Medfly) or Mexican Fruit Fly (MexFly) which interfere with fruit production and transportation and can produce a severe negative impact on agricultural production.
APHIS International Services Action Programs Staff work primarily to maintain Sterile Fly Release Programs through sterile fly-rearing centers in Pecora, Panama; Tapachula, Mexico and in Guatemala. The fly release programs have successfully reduced the populations of the North American Screwworm, a threat to both livestock and to people, and of Mediterranean Fruit fly and Mexican Fruit Fly, species that are dangerous to agricultural produce and can severely impact saleable fresh produce. Both are considered substantial threats to U.S. agriculture as well as to the agriculture of their host countries. Suppressing the insects greatly stabilizes trade in agricultural products and the threat of reintroducing these pests to the U.S. is reduced.

The privilege of spending my life in the Scriptures has been shared since 1984 with my wife Lisa, and since 1995 with our daughter. Lisa and I lived in Aberdeen, Scotland, from 1990 to 1994. Since 1996 Wheaton has been home. Beyond family, I particularly enjoy reading, traveling, the outdoors, University of Michigan football, Red Wings hockey, and Tigers baseball. The church in which I was born, baptized, married, and ordained is Highland Hills Baptist Church, Grand Rapids. We now fellowship at College Church in Wheaton where I co-teach a Greek Exegesis Sunday School class and have served as an elder. Opportunities for teaching and other ministry have brought us to locations in Africa, Europe, and Australia. Before joining the faculty of Wheaton College I spent seven memorable years teaching at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. My research interests include Paul's letters to Timothy and Titus, Hebrews, 1 Corinthians, Greek, the relation of science and faith, and what it means to read and live wisely and faithfully. Knowledge of the original languages is neither a necessary nor a sufficient cause of good biblical interpretation, but it is a very important contributory cause. "In so far as we love the Gospel, to that extent let us study the ancient tongues." Yet Martin Luther, to whom that line has been attributed, certainly had no narrow view of the reading of Scripture. On a piece of paper found near him at the time of his death Luther had written, "No one can understand Virgil's Georgics unless he has been a farmer for five years. No one can understand Cicero's letters unless he has busied himself in the affairs of a great empire for twenty-five years. No one can presume to have indulged in Holy Scriptures sufficiently unless he were in charge of all the churches for one hundred years with the prophets Elijah and Elisha, John the Baptist, Christ, and the Apostles. Do not seize hold of this divine Aeneid, but adore its tracks with humility. We are beggars, this is true." For many of us who have found so much enjoyment in the exegesis of the Scriptures in the original languages our interest was not first of all linguistic but antecedently one of love for our Savior and his Word. This has been and remains fundamentally an act of worship.

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - The U.S. men's national team will open its 2013
schedule with a friendly against Canada on Jan. 29 in Houston.
The match will come at the end of the annual January camp for the U.S. and
will take place one week prior to the start of World Cup qualifying in
"The match against Canada will come at the end of an important training camp
as we get players ready for the World Cup qualifier against Honduras, and also
get a good look at some up and coming players in the National Team pool," said
U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann. "Obviously we have a great history with
Canada, and they were unlucky not to qualify for the final round. The stadium
in Houston is awesome and the fans have been incredibly supportive there, so
for us it's a great way to start off the centennial year of U.S. Soccer."
Canada will be trying to snap a 15-game winless streak against the Americans,
who hold a 13-8-10 record against their continental rival.

Stronger than death
Cambodia | One man's ministry is working against the wounds of a nation
PHNOM PENH-In a rented building on a dusty street in Phnom Penh, Samuel Lamanilao and his wife Merlen personally welcome the church members as they arrive for 8:30 a.m. Sunday worship. Soon the room is filled with over 100 people in closely packed plastic chairs. There are a few families, and a number of youth, but the congregation is mostly women and children.
Many come by tuk-tuk, a rickshaw pulled by a motorbike, or they climb into the back of flatbed trucks, the standard forms of public transportation in the city. Others have walked from nearby blocks of rented single-room dwellings, one per family. Many such homes have a sewing machine on a wooden platform outside, where husband or wife stitches together clothes or gloves for a couple of dollars a day.
The worship includes both contemporary praise choruses and familiar hymns, translated from English into Khmer. Some songs have Christian words set to Cambodian folk melodies, accompanied on traditional stringed instruments. A young girl in special costume performs a flowing dance, scattering flower petals. Pastor Sammy delivers an animated sermon, encouraging the congregation to trust and obey Christ. At the close of the service, about 20 people come forward for prayer. Pastor Sammy moves among them, laying hands on heads and shoulders, praying for individual needs.
A second service is held two hours later in English, reaching a smaller congregation of expatriate Filipinos and Indonesians. In the afternoon, nearly 100 neighborhood children gather for the twice-weekly feeding program, which includes songs, skits, Bible stories, and a memory verse.
Seated on the floor, the children turn to face each other in rows as plates with rice, vegetables, chicken, and fruit are handed to each of them. The meals are eaten with eagerness, and some children return for seconds.
The Lamanilaos live upstairs in an apartment over the meeting room. This gives the congregation easy access to pastoral care, but at the cost of personal privacy. Once during a wedding ceremony, their apartment was broken into and their valuables stolen.
After eight years of pastoral ministry in the Philippines, the Lamanilaos came to Cambodia in 1999 on a mission funded jointly by Pentecostal Holiness churches in the Philippines and the United States. They faced the challenges common to all missionaries: adapting to different foods and customs, learning a foreign language, finding acceptance among the people.
They began by offering English instruction and guitar lessons to young people in the community. Many came to Christ, and those young disciples have grown to become leaders in the Phnom Penh church. Four have attended Bible school and are now serving as pastors of newly planted village churches under the supervision of Pastor Sammy.
The church in the village of Champay is a temporary structure with woven palm leaf walls and a tin roof. When the church dug a well for the congregation, they dug a second well at the village school to serve the community. While a new shopping mall in Phnom Penh suggests that economic prosperity has arrived, for some, village life remains a hand-to-mouth struggle.
The nation has yet to recover from the economic collapse brought about by the decimation of its population and destruction of its infrastructure during the regime of Pol Pot. From 1975 to 1979, the Khmer Rouge slaughtered an estimated 200,000 of their countrymen in the "killing fields," with 2 million more killed by deprivation and disease. Survivors included hundreds of thousands of widows and orphans. Land mines buried then continue to take a toll today, exploded by farmers and children who lose limbs and sometimes lives.
On the outskirts of Phnom Penh, a memorial stupa displays the skulls of thousands of victims unearthed from scores of mass graves. Here infants were swung and smashed against tree trunks, while men, women, and children were shot, stabbed, poisoned, bludgeoned, and buried alive. Bones and teeth are visibly scattered along the paths between the burial sites.
For most of the victims, the last stop before transport to the killing fields was Tuol Sleng, a prison and interrogation facility run by the infamous Comrade Duch, now facing trial for his crimes-and also a confessing Christian ("Would you forgive this man?" May 17, 2008). First a school, then a prison, Tuol Sleng has now become a museum where cramped cells and grisly instruments of torture are on display, along with the photos of hundreds of victims meticulously catalogued by Comrade Duch.
Sammy and Merlen arrived in Phnom Penh childless after 14 years of marriage. But in 2002 they sealed their commitment to their new homeland by adopting a Cambodian baby. Born prematurely, gasping for breath with underdeveloped lungs, the infant girl weighed in at under 3 pounds. Already burdened with several small children and an unfaithful husband, her impoverished mother told the midwife to dispose of the baby.
Instead, she took the infant to her own home and telephoned her friends, the Lamanilaos. Strangely, that very morning, Merlen herself had been taken ill with what felt like birth pangs. After the call, the pains immediately ceased, and they went to the midwife's home. They were shocked at what they saw. "The baby looked like a newborn puppy, wrapped in a dirty towel," says Sammy.
After wrestling with the matter in prayer, Sammy and Merlen took the baby to the government hospital. Doctors declared her prospects for survival slim, but Sammy and Merlen were undeterred. They paid two women to work in 12-hour shifts for 30 days, pumping oxygen manually into the baby's makeshift incubator. And they prayed. After a month, the child was released, frail but healthy, with the doctor's declaration: "This baby has been given a second life." Today 6-year-old Kezia Grace is thriving.
This concern for redeeming the hopeless and neglected continues in Pastor Sammy's ministry. According to USAID, Cambodia's adult HIV infection rate of 2.7 percent is the highest in Asia and is "fueled by a large sex industry and poorly developed health and education infrastructures." Several members of Pastor Sammy's congregation are AIDS sufferers, and he and Merlen visit the HIV hospital regularly to pray with the patients.
Pastor Sammy also has a prison ministry: "My work includes teaching English to the chief of police, guards, and prisoners as well. I visit them twice a month and give them books, Christian magazines, and Bibles."
Official 2006 government statistics count some 70,000 Christians among the population of 14 million, about one-half of 1 percent, with a majority of these Roman Catholic. In July of last year, the Ministry of Cults and Religions issued a directive banning Christian evangelistic activities as "disruptive." Christians are prohibited from knocking on doors or distributing religious literature. Any church construction must be pre-authorized by the Ministry.
Prime Minister Hun Sen's Cambodian People's Party was returned to power last July in elections that were disputed as fraudulent by opposition parties. While no supporter of Hun Sen, Pastor Sammy was relieved at the results, fearing that a defeat for the government would have resulted in civil war.
Avoiding direct confrontation with the government or the Buddhist community, Pastor Sammy concentrates on shining the light of Christ through works of love and mercy. "We are here as witness that the love of God is stronger than hatred and death. To the wounded, the suffering, and the broken-hearted, we are here to proclaim the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior."
Slow motions
2009 marks start of public Khmer Rouge trials
In 2001 the Cambodian National Assembly created the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) to try leaders of the Khmer Rouge for the atrocities committed by the regime. The government requested help from the United Nations in establishing and operating the tribunal but insisted that the trial be held in Cambodia by and for the people of the nation.
Five individuals have been arrested and are in custody, facing trial by the ECCC:
• Khieu Samphan, former head of state;
• Nuon Chea, former deputy to Pol Pot;
• Ieng Sary, former deputy prime minister and foreign minister;
• Khieu Thirith, former minister of education, wife of Ieng Sary, and sister-in-law of Pol Pot;
• Kaing Guek-Eav, known as Comrade Duch, former commandant of Tuol Sleng prison and interrogation facility.
Those arrested are charged with war crimes and/or crimes against humanity. Preliminary proceedings are underway, with the ECCC ruling on pre-trial motions.
The trial of Comrade Duch was expected to begin in September but has been delayed as the court considers an appeal by the prosecution to hold Eav liable for "joint criminal enterprise," in effect adding criminal conspiracy to the charges against him. According to a statement, ECCC expects to transfer the case from pre-trial to trial chambers after the ruling this month, when it will receive lists of prospective witnesses from the prosecution and defense. A meeting expected in mid-January to set a date for the initial hearing will mark the first public stage of the trial process. For crimes committed 30 years ago, the wheels of justice continue to grind, slowly.

State Quarters vs. Territory Quarters
By CollectorGirl
from Atlanta, GA
Just trying to be a little helpful for those of us that also have the US Territory quarters; this album does not include any space for the extra quarters. But, the 'America The Beautiful Quarter Collection Album' does have the 6 extra spots for them (ie...Guam, Puerto Rico | item #340771).
Pay Attention!
By Donna

I am sorry I bought this. I have 4 quarters (Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, District of Columbia) that do not have a slot to go in. It DOES clearly indicate it is for 50 states, but this is inadequate for the complete set.
Just what we wanted
By Jules

exactly what I wanted
What a relief to find the albums.
By I don't have one
from Taylor, Arizona
I had been saving the state quarters for a long time. They are intended as gifts for my great-grandchildren, who won't remember when they were being minted. It was a real relief to find the albums because they are now almost non-exsistant.
I would buy this product again
By Sandy
from Eucha, OK
I thought I had all the state quarters until I started putting them in the folder and then I discovered I had 3 missing, it gave myself and my grandsons something to look for. I love this product and am going to order another one to fill for my other grandson

Tons of cows and wild horses, very little antelope sign. I'm not driving roads, I'm trying to hike back in towards springs away from roads. I've found tracks and droppings but no lope. Any help for this area would be great. I know there was a thread about further south towards grass valley, if I don't see any in the morning I'll pickup and move, only have this weekend, archery deer ends soon and I'm out doing that after this.

Hello Zimbra Forum and all of its members!
I just wanted to stop in, register and say hello and tell what I think about the Zimbra desktop....................
I have used the program now for a few months, keep track of 3 separate emails and be able to use twitter as well.
I am still trying to get my Facebook chat to come across but that is in another time and place.
My future for this application is being able to get my virtual assistant, Verbot "Julie" to be able to read my email from the zimbra desktop system and also have the capability to respond to them as well. Guess that I have that iron Man's "Jarvis" fever as well. AI is a good thing since she is able to help me open several programs by my voice.
Anyway, in conclusion, I have found this program via Google. There are several programs out there that are very similar in design and style. But being an open source and have the ability to pass and exceed my testing capability is what I consider very important. No Shareware here!
Ease of setup, easy to install, easy to configure the individual accounts and the ability to drag and drop pictures into the application instead of browse and attaching the files like the "other" guys do.
It's a great product, I really love it and let's continue to spread the word about this product.

WBC will be baseball overkill, lost in a March shuffle
Published: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 12:14 a.m.
It's that time of year again. Leather's popping and wooden bats are changing the directions of 90-mph projectiles throughout parks in Florida and Arizona as the 30 Major League Baseball franchises determine the pecking orders from the big clubs down to the rookie leagues. This annual rite of passage has governed vacations since the popularity of the horseless carriage coincided with MLB franchises flocking south to create the Grapefruit League a century ago. Dollar-for-dollar, you can't beat the value of an afternoon at a spring training game, and it's unlikely the players will be this accessible to fans of all ages at any other time this year in such numbers. A few days in and, heck, you even have the Chicago Cubs and Kansas City Royals simultaneously atop their respective leagues' standings. Has that happened at any point since Bon Jovi was opening for Ratt? For the baseball enthusiasts, whose winter naps have been stretching into their favorite time of the year, it doesn't get much better. Add into the mix the new big thing regarding the sport — the World Baseball Classic — and it should be more than even the most ardent fans can handle. Remember Christmas morning as a child? Racing into the den to rip open packages that you just knew contained the trendiest of toys, or to find the perfect spotted dog? Now, remember the sad stories about the kids you knew whose birthdays were also Dec. 25, and how Christmas overwhelmed the birthday celebration, and — most important at age 5 — the presents didn't double for the Christmas babies ... only the cards did. Bleh! Unfortunately, that's what we have as the World Baseball Classic — a great thing for fans, in and of itself — has once again been thrown on top of spring training, disrupting every franchise as players are packing to leave the structure and embraces of spring homes like Kissimmee, Port St. Lucie, Clearwater and Lakeland. Many have barely warmed their arms, shaken the dust off their catcher's gear and completed full stretches by the time Nation vs. Nation games in faraway locales will be the focus of March. It makes you wonder just how "official" the championship of the tournament will be. The Dominican Republic will be without pitching ace Johnny Cueto, who was barred from the tournament by the Cincinnati Reds (that franchise that pays his $7.4 million salary this season) and two-time home run champ Jose Bautista, who is using the spring to make sure his surgically repaired wrist is 100 percent for the start of the Toronto Blue Jays season. The Bautista excuse for missing the tournament is particularly funny, considering he was blasting bombs off an aluminum bat at Chipola College in Marianna three weeks ago as part of a fund-raising home run derby. Texas Rangers new dynamo Jurickson Profar, a 20-year-old infielder from Curacao, has announced that he will remain at spring training to compete for a roster spot and will not be playing, thus weakening Dutch chances in the WBC, which will be staged in Asia and the U.S. before a champion is crowned in San Francisco on March 19. I want to believe the WBC is a huge event, worthy of its MLB Network coverage and water cooler talk around the world. I still believe it's a good idea since the Olympics stripped baseball away from the Summer Games menu. The WBC just needs another time slot to ensure more star participation ... and to stop ruining the cohesion of spring training. RANDOM THOUGHTS: The ancient Mayans who predicted an end to humanity in December 2012 were wrong only because they were off by two months on Dennis Rodman's North Korea travel plans. ... Why does gas surge higher by a dime a gallon each day when trending upward, but pull back only a penny a day when leveling back down? -----

Slater, Cappaert Break Out In Sweep of UMKC
AMES, Iowa – Cyclones Aly Cappaert and Lexi Slater had banner days at the plate on Monday, combining for seven hits and 11 RBI, as Iowa State (21-29, 4-11 Big 12) swept its doubleheader with UMKC (16-24, 5-6 Summit) by scores of 10-4 and 7-4 at the Cyclone Sports Complex.
Both Cappaert and Slater hit home runs in the opening game against the Kangaroos, including Slater's second career grand slam. Cappaert, who was 3-for-3 at the plate before flying out in her final plate appearance, hit two doubles and a solo home before Slater's slam plated the final four runs of the game. Maddie Reese also contributed two runs on her third homer of the season.
In the second game, Cappaert hit her second homer of the day, a two-run long ball to left, that put Iowa State up by three in the fifth and Slater's three-run double in the sixth broke a 4-4 tie, completing the day's scoring.
In game one, Emily Ott hit a 1-2 pitch from Tori Torrescano into the dirt just in front of home plate in the top of the first and, although Torrescano rushed in to field the ball and toss it to catcher Hally Lenzine, the throw was not in time to stop Brooke Parker from scoring and putting UMKC up by a run.
The Cyclone offense came through with three runs in the second when Cappaert doubled home Sara Davison, who led off the inning with a single up the middle, and Reese blasted a 2-0 pitch over the left field wall for a 3-1 Cyclone lead.
UMKC tied the score in the top of the fourth, pinch runner Kristi Lee scoring on a groundout from Katie Kelley and Alexandra Friloux driving in the tying run with a single to right field. However, Sarah Hawryluk broke the tie in the bottom of the frame with a grounder to second, driving in Alex Tinaglia who entered to run for Cappaert after Cappaert doubled to start the Iowa State offensive turn.
Tied at four heading to the bottom of the sixth, Cappaert was the first Cyclone up to bat and connected for her third home run of the season to put Iowa State up one. Erica Miller would drive in the sixth run for the Cyclones on a sacrifice fly to right before Slater delivered with a four-bagger to left to put the 'Roos into a hole too deep to climb out of with three outs remaining.
Torrescano (11-12) earned the win with seven innings in the circle, giving up four runs on eight hits, walking two with a strikeout.
UMKC starter Deanna Friese (11-11) took the loss after allowing 10 runs on 10 hits, walking six and fanning three batters in five and one-thirds innings of work.
Two runs by Iowa State in the third inning of game two on an RBI-single from Hawryluk and a Kangaroo error, were the only runs to cross until UMKC got an unearned run back in the top of the fifth to cut the two-run lead in half.
Cappaert's second home run of the day built the Iowa State lead to three, but UMKC rallied in the top of the following inning, plating two runs on a Bri Wyatt triple, and Wyatt came home on a Cyclone throwing error for the 4-4 tie.
Slater came up big again with the bases loaded in the Iowa State sixth with a two-out, three-run double to put Iowa State back on top for good, 7-4.
Junior Taylor Smith (8-9) was solid in the circle, despite a rough sixth inning. Smith threw a complete game, allowing four runs, three earned, while giving up six hits and walking two batters. She also struck out two.
Cinda Ramos (4-11) absorbed the loss after being charged with nine hits, seven runs – six earned – two walks and no strikeouts.
The Cyclones will play their annual Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series game at Iowa on Wednesday, May 1, at 6:30 p.m. CDT.

The Benefits of Regular Exercise
Exercise helps keep your body healthy and your tissues and organs working properly. In keeping your body in good working order, exercise also helps ward off many diseases, such as
heart disease,
type 2 diabetes,
osteoporosis, and many others.
In 2008, the United States Department of Health and Human Services released physical activity guidelines for Americans. They recommend that adults should do at least 150 minutes of moderate–intensity or 75 minutes a week of vigorous–intensity aerobic physical activity per week. For additional health benefits, they recommend that adults increase this amount to 300 minutes of moderate–intensity or 150 minutes a week of vigorous–intensity per week.
Your exercise program should include:
In aerobic exercise, you continually move large muscles in the legs and buttocks. This action causes you to breathe more deeply and your heart to work harder to pump blood, thereby strengthening your heart and lungs.
Examples include:
Strength training builds lean muscle mass, which increases your physical strength and your bone mass.

[This is a re-post, as my original post ran into some difficulties when I tried to edit it later and the only fix was to delete it.]
I've *finally* been able to get our Tungsten E2s to successfully sync with our Zimbra server. This also worked for the few Palm TXs we have.
It was frustrating figuring all this out, because while I dug around in these forums extensively I never did find anything that had *all* the pieces I needed. I did find a lot of people wanting to be able to sync non-mobile Palms without having to use Outlook so hopefully this will help somebody else who wants to do the same thing.
This is what I've done:
0) Did a full sync on the Palms with our old calendar server, so all calendar data on the Palms was current.
1) Installed a PPP program on the sync PC so the Palm could get a network connection. The one I'm using is Softick PPP. I like it because it worked for me (always a good thing), and because you don't have to install any software on the Palm itself, and also because it has the ability to create a debug log, which has been extremely helpful.
2) Upgraded to VersaMail 3.5; this version seems to runs fine on the E2s. Most of our E2s are newish, and came with 3.1 installed, but it gave me some trouble and since 3.5 gives you the ability to sync your contacts, I upgraded them.
3) Configured VersaMail for an Exchange ActiveSync connection to the Zimbra server.
4) Sync must be initiated by VersaMail on the Palm; performing a standard HotSync will not sync with the Zimbra server. This means that our staff members will need a little re-training, since the sync with our old calendar server was done via standard HotSync.
5) VersaMail can be configured to sync all (mail, calendar, contacts) or each piece can sync on it's own. Since we want to sync calendar only, I've configured VersaMail to not download any mail. But in my testing, mail synced fine.
6) We're in the process of rolling it out to all our staff members with Palms, and so far it's been working really well.
7) So our additional outlay was a copy of Softick PPP for each computer and the upgrade to VersaMail 3.5 for each Palm, but I no longer have to buy antacid by the case so it's a wash. :)

Wasserman uses his patented rally to win Friday's feature race
AUBURN, Wash. (Aug. 10, 2012) –Wasserman finally is going to miss The Longacres Mile, but the old boy still has plenty left in the tank.
Wasserman rallied resolutely in the stretch and nailed Untilifindyou in the final strides for a half-length victory Friday in the $13,750 feature race for 3-year-olds and up. It was the first win in six tries this year for the 10-year-old gelding, and his 12th in 71 starts dating to his debut May 27, 2005.
Along the way, Wasserman developed into one of the most popular runners in track history, winning the 2008 Longacres Mile and three other stakes en route to Horse of the Meeting honors that year. His five straight starts in the Longacres Mile are a record at Emerald Downs, and even though he won't run in next week's 77th renewal of the race, he proved Friday that the spirit is still willing.
"He just runs," said winning rider Jennifer Whitaker, who has been aboard in 55 of the gelding's races. "It's great, he's like one of my kids. It's a privilege to ride a horse like him, and he loves what he's doing."
Wasserman ran one mile in 1:36.85 and paid $7.40, $2.80 and $2.20. The $7,562 first prize bumped his track record earnings to $555,253. Including 11 races in California, Wasserman has overall earnings of $579,320 for owner/breeder/trainer Howard Belvoir, the gelding's conditioner since the beginning.
"I think this race made me prouder than winning The Mile," Belvoir said in the winner's circle. "He's 10 now, and he's still doing it."
Untilifindyou, the 7-to-10 betting favorite ridden by Leslie Mawing, swept past Hunter Kane into the stretch but was tagged by Wasserman in the final yards. Untilifindyou paid $2.10 and $2.10.
It was head back to Mr. Mad Max, ridden by Debbie Hoonan, and a $2.20 show payoff. Hunter Kane, the early leader, finished fourth, followed by Shamundi in fifth.
NOTES: Jennifer Whitaker has ridden three winners in two nights and has 398 wins at Emerald Downs…Juan Gutierrez and Leslie Mawing each rode a winner and Gutierrez leads Mawing 76-67 in the jockeys' standings. Gutierrez also ranks first with five stakes wins…Eliska Kubinova moved another step closer to the single-season apprentice record with a triumph on long shot Have'n a Wild Time ($19) in the fifth race. Kubinova has 60 wins in 58 days and needs 11 wins in the final 23 days to break the mark of 70 wins set by Cassie Papineau in 2009… Howard Belvoir has three wins in two nights and is sneaking back into the trainers' race. Frank Lucarelli leads with 34 wins, followed by Tim McCanna, 31, and Belvoir, 27. McCanna, 839 wins, Lucarelli, 710, and Belvoir, 588, also are the top three all-time trainers at Emerald Downs…Trainer Alan Bozell had two wins Friday, Wedge of Gold ($9.40) in the second race and Foolish Miss ($15.80) in the fourth…Trainer Don Munger continued his excellent season as Krain Korner ($10.60) notched his maiden win in the seventh race nightcap under Jose Zunino. Munger has a career-high 14 wins as a trainer, and he and wife Wanda Munger lead the owners' standings 14-8 over Ron Crockett and Mike and Amy Feuerborn…Owners Michael Pollowitz and Jeffrey Wilson had their second win in two nights as 2-year-old filly Kissing Ruby ($3.40) romped by 4-¼ lengths in Friday's opener…Live racing continues Saturday with first post 2:15 p.m. The $65,000 Washington Oaks goes as the eighth race with 2-to-1 morning line favorite Exclusive Diva looking to wrap up sophomore filly title with a victory in the 1-1/8 mile test…Also Saturday, there is a $0.50 Pick 5 carryover of $4,646 beginning on race five.

General comments
The complexities of this proposal and the circumstances it describes make my head ache. In spirit of Swift, I am tempted to make the immodest proposal the we quietly suppress any resources with these conditions. Absent that, it does appear that the proposal presents the best mechanism for coherently treating the situation. MYERS, MARBI Liaison, 2011/08/17
This proposal would have a significant impact on music cataloging; it's unfortunate that no musical examples were included.
- Glennan (PCC), 8/22/11
I initially wondered if a distinction should be made in the terminology used between an incomplete work and an incomplete collection of works (or expressions). However, I suspect that's really splitting hairs....
- Glennan (PCC), 8/22/11
The distinction you mention in Section E below might be the more useful one. Or a distinction between collections of works or extracts of works, and extracts that themselves become something that might normally be thought of as a work (in common parlance, not FRBR). An example would be the work named in LCCN n 79028260, where an organ suite whose movements come from various Domenico Gabrielli sonatas gets the u.t. "Sonatas. Selections." I have a notion, however, that this is too squishy a thing to delineate.
Scharff, MusLA, 8/23/11
CC:DA's discussion at our Annual meeting included a couple of additional topics. There was a suggestion that "Works, Incomplete" might be a useful alternative to "Selections."
Also, in our discussion of how "Selections" is used, the idea of taking a completely different direction was raised: articulating the content in shorthand, as in "50 poems" or "3 novels". There was a burst of applause at this suggestion, but we did not have time to explore the idea more fully at the meeting.
- Robare, 9/26/11
Treatment of Selections in RDA
Section 1 : Selections as a preferred title for a part of a work
If you have "selections" from a single work, instead of the complete work itself, I wonder if we're already talking about expressions. Per FRBR 3.2.1, "A work is an abstract entity; there is no single material object one can point to as the work."
Do excerpts or selections from a work also constitute an abstract entity, or does extracting portions of a work inherently move us into the realm of expressions? If so, how would this approach inform the rest of the discussion of this situation?
Of course, one could have selections from a complete work or selections from an expression (say a translation or an arrangement of a musical work); I suspect that's really the issue here.
- Glennan (PCC), 8/22/11
Musical sketches are a special kind of problem, and I don't think they really should be used as an example here. Composers have different kinds of sketches: 1) ideas that get turned into a particular composition (say sketches for Schoenberg's opera Moses und Aron) or 2) ideas that never make it into any composition. The latter case is not exactly "Works. Selections (Sketches)", since the ideas never really became works.
- Glennan (PCC), 8/22/11
Section 2 : Selections as an attribute of the expression
Section 3 : Appendix E
LC Recommendations
I have some serious reservations about replacing the less-than-desirable term "Selections" with the equally less-than-desirable term "Extracts" or even "Excerpts". None of the terms represent an improvement in clarity. In fact, I have a hard time thinking that "excerpts" works when referring to an incomplete collection within a given form (e.g., "Sonatas, piano. Excerpts" could mean that just snippets from each sonata are contained in this collection, rather than what I think we'd want this to mean -- that each piano sonata contained in the collection is complete, however, not all of the piano sonatas by this composer appear in this collection).
What happens with backwards compatibility issues with AACR2 records? Do the kinds of changes proposed allow for machine-manipulation of existing headings to conform to the new RDA practice, whatever it might be? I'm personally not interested in split headings in my catalog records between "Sonatas, harpsichord. Selections" and "Sonatas, harpsichord. Extracts"
- Glennan (PCC), 8/22/11
Makes sense. Of the various replacements for "Selections", I prefer "Excerpts". It is frequently used in ads (e.g. "the video features excerpts from ..."), "extracts" is not. Plus "extract" has a physical connotation (an "extract" can also be a physical extract, e.g. an article removed from a periodical and treated as a separate entity) that I don't think excerpts has.
-Lipcan (ARLIS/NA), for Elizabeth O'Keefe (Morgan Library), 8-23-11
Proposed revision 1: alternative in 220.127.116.11.2
I strongly favor (in the revisions throughout) replacing "Selections" with "Extracts." Bob Maxwell, SAC Liaison, 18 August 2011.
Proposed revision 2: alternative in 188.8.131.52.3
Proposed revision 3: deletion of 22.214.171.124
Proposed revision 4: alternative in 184.108.40.206.6
Proposed revision 5: instruction at 184.108.40.206.7
Just curious -- are the examples complete in this section, or do they just demonstrate the use of "Extracts"? My first reaction was that the 1st example would have "Authorized Version" appearing somewhere in the access point.
- Glennan (PCC), 8/22/11
Proposed revision 6: instruction at 188.8.131.52.3
Proposed revision 7: deletion of 188.8.131.52
I'm not clear on how proposed revision 5 eliminates the need for 184.108.40.206 (or maybe I'm still wondering about the examples there).
- Glennan (PCC), 8/22/11
Proposed revision 8: alternative at 188.8.131.52
Proposed revision 9: alternative at 126.96.36.199
Proposed revision 10: alternative at 184.108.40.206
Other revisions that would be needed
Impact on MARC 21
I would strongly advocate for: 1) consistent ordering of the subfields, regardless of how an expression came into being -- the coding will be equivalent whether the content is translated, then extracted or whether it is extracted, then translated. 2) putting language and format of content secondary to the scope of the content, that is, subfield k ($k) be given parity with subfield n ($n) so as to precede subfield l ($l) and subfield s ($s). --MYERS, MARBI Liaison, 2011/08/17
In the Durant example of the Spanish spoken word extract, I recommend the order be Durant ... $t Story of civilization. $k Extracts. $l Spanish. $s Spoken word. As pointed out in the proposal, the access point through "Extracts" represents the work. Language is the next thing we would add for the expression. We then need to add something else only if there is more than one expression in Spanish. So it makes sense to me that the "Spoken word" piece should come after the language. Similarly, if the extracts were in English, we would add language first, then if there is more than one in English, we would add something further like Spoken word to qualify (Durant ... $t Story of civilization. $k Extracts. $l English. $s Spoken word.) Same reasoning for the ordering in the other examples. By the way, I thought the final qualifier was to be given in parentheses--e.g. see RDA 6.27.3, example "Pushkin, Aleksandr Sergeevich, 1799–1837. Evgeniĭ Onegin. English (Beck)" -- so in the example in LCrep/2 wouldn't "Beck" be in parentheses? Actually in RDA I don't understand why the Beck example has the qualifier in parentheses and the Babar example has the "spoken word" qualifier outside of parentheses--what's the difference? --Bob Maxwell, SAC Liaison, 18 Aug 2011
I agree that the order $k $l $s seems preferable to me in these examples. R.Rendall, 8/22/11
I'm really struck by how this section emphasizes the impact on file arrangement. - Glennan (PCC), 8/22/11
Amen, Kathy. For me, this proposal really points out how very important it will be to have much more sophisticated search and display mechanisms. Ordered lists of access points will always be very important to many users, and depending on what one is looking for, the placement of the elements makes a huge difference. In one search, it may be very important to have selections/excerpts/extracts come before language; in another search, it may be very important to have language first. (And of course that horrible question of whether we're dealing with an expression of selections of the work, or selections of an expression of a work. At times I think the difference could be quite critical, and the ordering of the elements can change the meaning to someone.) What is needed is the ability for the user to reorder results lists on the fly by whatever elements they desire. Of course though I realize we'd be foolish to base any practices on the hopes of common-sense features we'd like commercial vendors to provide for us... K. Randall, 8/24/11

Latinas are way better. This time we found a hot ass latina at this restaurant. We were ready to order but once we saw her, all we can think of was how does this chick looks naked. So, I had to ask. In a proper manner of course. This chick Valerya was actually into it, so she took me to the back and showed me what was south of the border. This girl is so cute and sexy I almost busted my nut early. But I didnt. I took Valerya all the way and she loved every latin minute of it.

However, if I create the appoinmtne in Zimbra server, it can sync over to outlook. Other than this, task and mail seems can sync without any issue. Anyone have an idea on why outlook calendar cannot sync to Zimbra server? or know of any fix?

There are a few different kinds of moms -- the baking kind (Martha Stewart), the singing kind (Maria von Trapp), and the shopping kind (Kris Kardashian). I have the shopping kind. These mother-daughter relationships tend to be vain (albeit a lot of fun). Spa days, shopping trips, at-home fashion shows, hours spent going through Grandma's old jewelry...but what happens if the mother/daughter pair don't live in the same city anymore? What does one do without the joys of mother-daughter vanity?
Have no fear, the VIP Dress Me App is here! From the comforts of their own computers, mothers can dress daughters to their hearts' delight in frilly, furry, frothy costumes, and if one so pleases, daughters can even purchase the selections on the VIP.Zappos.com website and wear them to the next family get-together for that euphoric feeling daughters get when they make their moms happy.
And daughters can dress their moms too! My sassy mother is quite fun to "dress" , so to introduce her to the new Dress Me app, I created an outfit for her that she can wear during the blustery Canadian winters she endures.
Daughters, dress your mom, and moms dress your daughters on the Zappos VIP Dress Me app today!

May 4, 1970
The divisive effect of the Vietnam War on American society was especially evident on campuses throughout the country. At Kent State, the day after the announcement to send U.S. troops into Cambodia marked the start of a weekend of antiwar protests that began on campus and spilled into the city of Kent's downtown. Broken windows and other damage to a number of downtown businesses prompted fear, rumors and eventually a call by the city's mayor to the governor for assistance.
The National Guard arrived Saturday night. That day some students assisted with the downtown cleanup. That night the campus headquarters of the Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) was burned. Sunday morning the governor came to Kent and in the city's firehouse held a press conference saying the university would remain open. After a Sunday of relative calm, an antiwar rally at noon on Monday brought 2,000 to 3,000 people to the University Commons area. When the Guard gave the order to disperse, some in the crowd responded with verbal epithets and stones. The Guard answered first with tear gas, but when spring winds altered its effect, the Guard attempted to enforce the Ohio Riot Act with raised bayonets, forcing demonstrators to retreat. The Guard then changed line formation. As the Guard approached the crest of Blanket Hill, some guardsmen turned toward the Taylor Hall parking lot, and between 61 and 67 shots were fired. Four students were killed and nine wounded. That afternoon University President Robert I. White ordered the university closed.
History, sorrow and healing remain a part of Kent State University. The university Library has dedicated a Memorial Room containing books, papers, studies and other materials relating to the events. In addition, the university has established an academic program designed to help students and others employ peaceful conflict resolution to resolve disputes. On May 4, 1990, the university community dedicated a permanent memorial. Each year, an annual vigil, candlelight service and commemoration enable the university, the Kent community and others to privately and publicly express their feelings. In 1999 as a result of requests from the May 4 Task Force, the university authorized the installation of markers locating the sites in the Prentice Hall parking lot where four students were killed during the tragic events of May 4, 1970. Visitors to the campus will be able to walk the steps of history when the May 4 Walking Tour is dedicated on May 4, 2010, for the 40th commemoration. The Walking Tour features historic site trail markers and narration by notable civil rights activist Julian Bond. Visitors also will be able to view the design of the future May 4 Visitors Center and can follow its progress at www.kent.edu/may4/visitorscenter.
In 2007, a state historical marker was erected near the memorial site. In 2010, the May 4 Site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The university will continue to remember the four students who died—Allison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Scheuer and William Schroeder—through scholarships in their names and in the words inscribed on the May 4 Memorial: "Inquire, Learn, Reflect."

Most people now know just how important it is to protect the skin from the damaging rays of the sun. In fact, the sun is the primary source of premature aging which is why Neova In Sun should be a part of your daily skin care routine. Not all sunscreens are created equal.
