Currently running ZCS6NE and I'm having problems getting the iPhone to autocomplete from the GAL (or even search the GAL), I have two domain and set the following:
zimbraGalSyncInternalSearchBase to ROOT
zimbraGalInternalSearchBase to ROOT
for both domains (as the domains are for the same company and want to search both domain GALs)
the iPhone sync's mail personal contacts and calendar fine just not the GAL. If I go to contacts on the iPhone and select groups and then "user" Global Address List it always show empty or no results.
Auto complete and GAL browsing works in the zDesktop and web client so I'm at a loss, what haven't I done ?

Who is The Food Maven?
This is me in my Connecticut kitchen. © Photo Don Heiny
The New York Times Magazine called Arthur Schwartz "a walking Google of food and restaurant knowledge." As the restaurant critic and executive food editor of the New York Daily News, which he was for 18 years, he was called The Schwartz Who Ate New York. Nowadays he is best known as The Food Maven, the name of his website. Whatever the sobriquet, he is acknowledged as one of the country's foremost experts on food, cooking, culinary history, restaurants, and restaurant history.
Over the 40 years of his career, he has written six award-winning cookbooks, including his last, "Jewish Home Cooking: Yiddish Recipes Revisited," which was named best American-subject cookbook by the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) and was nominated for both a James Beard book award and the Sophie Brody Medal of the American Library Association for its contribution to Yiddish literature.
In 2005, "Arthur Schwartz's New York City Food: An Opinionated History with Legendary Recipes" was named both Cookbook of the Year and best book on an American subject by the IACP. It was also nominated for a James Beard book award.
His previous book, "Naples at Table: Cooking in Campania," not only hit the Los Angeles Times "Hot List," the nation's only cookbook bestseller list, and won awards, but made Schwartz the acknowledged U.S. expert on the cuisines of the Italian south. The Italy-America Chamber of Commerce and the region of Campania honored him as such at a gala dinner, and he has been honored several times, including at New York City's City Hall, for his contributions to the Italian-American community of his city. He has a cooking school in Paestum, Italy, just south of the Amalfi Coast, where he conducts weeklong classes that also include cultural touring. His next book, "The Southern Italian Table: Authentic Tastes from Traditional Kitchens," will be published by Clarkson Potter on October 20, 2009.
His other books are: "Cooking In A Small Kitchen" (Little Brown, 1979), "What To Cook When You Think There's Nothing In The House To Eat" (HarperCollins, 1992), and the best-selling paperback, "Soup Suppers" (HarperCollins, 1994), which contains more than 100 recipes for main-course soups, with accompaniments and desserts to round out the menu.
He is also the author of numerous articles for a wide range of magazines. Schwartz also teaches both hands-on and demonstration cooking classes at all the major venues in New York City, on Long Island, and in New Jersey and Connecticut. He has been a visiting lecturer in Southern Italian cooking at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, and a lecturer on food writing and editing at the Culinary Institute of America in Greystone, California. He has also lectured at New York University, New York City Technical College, and at the Institute for Culinary Education (ICE).
Although he writes and teaches extensively, Schwartz may be best known as a radio personality. For 13 years, he broadcast daily on WOR radio, one of New York's premiere talk stations, and in that capacity received the IACP's Award of Excellence in Electronic Media. He was also named Cooking Teacher of the Year by the New York Association of Culinary Professionals. He left the station in 2004 to pursue other interests.
You might say Schwartz was born with a wooden spoon in his mouth. His paternal grandfather was first a professional chef, then a food manufacturer, then a curmudgeonly waiter in a Jewish dairy restaurant. His maternal grandmother's home cooking was the envy and despair of the neighbors. His father could spend an entire day shopping for just the right ingredients for one dinner. In short, he grew up in a food-obsessed Brooklyn family that went, and still goes, to any length for a good meal.
As for TV, he was the food critic on Fox network's (WNYW-TV) local morning show, Good Day New York, and he has appeared on Martha Stewart's national broadcast, appeared many times as a guest on the Food Network, on the Today show, Good Morning America, Live With Regis, as well as many local morning shows. At one time, he was the national spokesman for the National Dairy Council. He continues to make frequent TV appearances on PBS and the Food Network. He produced and appeared in a documentary on New York hot dogs for Japanese public television, was featured in a documentary on New York street food, and is currently participating in a documentary on how the food of immigrants changes in America, and one on the history and lore of the bagel.
Schwartz is now in demand as a restaurant consultant and lecturer. He has lectured extensively before library and museum audiences, including the Brooklyn Museum, the Museum of the City of New York, the Brooklyn Public Library, the Port Washington, N.Y., Greenwich, Conn., and Spring Lake, N.J. public libraries, the 92nd St. Y, and at private clubs, including the Princeton and Columbia Clubs, the Yale Club and the very social Century Club. He has also lectured at metro New York synagogues, as well as at events benefiting many charities, including Jewish Federation, Hadassah, National Council of Jewish Women, Rotary Clubs, and Chambers of Commerce. His lecturing style is casual and entertaining. Indeed, San Francisco radio personality Gene Burns said, "Schwartz is actually a stand-up comic, not the informative lecturer he pretends to be."
He is listed in Marquis Who's Who in America.

The Speaker of the New York City Council is expected to denounce a controversial Japanese rape simulation game this morning on the steps of City Hall in Manhattan.
Councilwoman Christine Quinn (middle left) will hold a news conference in protest of RapeLay at 11:00 A.M. As GamePolitics has reported, the hentai game was recently removed from product listings on Amazon.com where a re-seller had been offering it for sale.
Quinn will be joined by the New York City Alliance Against Sexual Assault. A press release announcing the event includes the following description:
A teenage video "game" simulating brutal gang rape and other horrifying sexual violence — just pulled by Amazon.com — will be the subject of a news conference hosted by [Quinn]… who will call on all U.S. video distributors to refuse its distribution or sale…
The "game" is now available in the U.S. market…
We should point out that RapeLay, while despicable, is not a product of the U.S. video game industry and is not rated by the ESRB.
UPDATE: Newsday has the first mainstream media coverage of today's press conference:
Amazon and eBay have already banned the sale of the game… but New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn said Monday that the game is available on other Web sites…
UPDATE 2: The photo at left is from the news conference. Speaker Quinn is in the middle. At left, holding artwork from RapeLay, is Harriett Lessel, Executive Director of The New York City Alliance Against Sexual Assault. Of the game, Lessel said:
Video games of this nature are beyond appalling, and people of good conscience need to speak out against them. Sexual violence is a major problem in America and video games like this send the exact wrong message to young people. It tells boys it's okay to sexually assault girls, and it tells girls they are worthless. The New York City Alliance Against Sexual Assault is hopeful that American distributors will reject this game and the aberrant behavior it promotes.

text: Did an upgrade last week from Ubuntu 12.04, 8.0.1 to 8.0.3. As the week went on had some complaints from people inside the company that they were getting Access Denied messages when sending mail. Checked outlook settings and not even really thinking just added the outgoing server requires authentication because that is the default setting in our company for everyone. Oddly enough as the week went on people that were working fine started seeing the issue. I thought it was an Outlook problem. Yesterday I got a call from a remote webmail user saying he was having a problem. I could easily replicate with any account through webmail all email outside of the company scope is getting relay access denied. Our internal servers that send nightly messages also broke yesterday after working all week. Digging through the zimbra logs I saw that the problem is that even though I have our whole network trusted, zimbra isn't allowing unauthenticated email through it as it always has. Tried multiple things to correct the problem including disabling ipv6 removing all trusted networks and re-adding them, etc. Running out of ideas.

Part two in a short series
Last week I discussed 'One Who is God Fearing' and 'Integrity'. This week I focus on 'Truthfulness' and being 'Fiscally Responsible'
Being truthful is of utmost importance in all aspects of life and is certainly a prerequisite for any politician whom we may elect! Each of us face whether or not we are going to be truthful on a daily basis. Once we are caught being untruthful, our credibility drops to zero (think of someone in court on the witness stand). I don't know if President Nixon was behind the Watergate break-in from the beginning or not. However, if he was not, just think how much better off he would have been by telling the truth and not covering up. One little lie turned into an avalanche of lies which cost him the office of President and he left in disgrace.
Every bill sponsored by a politician and every action for that matter should be scrutinized. To me, that still remains in the truth arena. Politicians have sponsored bills to enrich themselves, their constituents and simply to insure re-election. Buying votes for passage of a bill is many times the norm. Groups of voters have been singled out so legislation can be passed that would insure their vote. People make a living lobbying trying to gain favor with politicians for some group they represent.
The truth must be out there somewhere. The media coverage we have today is never ending. However, how far can it be trusted? Wealthy people many times control various outlets of the media. Conservatives "know" the liberal media is stacking the deck against them. At the same time, liberals complain about other sources that are "far to the right". Certainly we can know who is telling the truth by fact checking on a website, but wait - now there are rumors that these fact checking sites are controlled by one side or the other. It reminds me of the movie several years ago of a media mogul who was able to start a major war by controlling and providing false information about what each of the countries eventually to become involved were doing.
How do we find the truth and select the politician who is most truthful and possesses other characteristics we have talked about? Educate yourself. Become as informed as possible. Check the background of whom you are going to vote for. What has he/she said/done in the past and what can you predict he/she will do in the future? Sandwich these actions on both ends with prayer!
Fiscally Responsible
Two major aspects of being fiscally responsible are a balanced budget (revenues equals expenditures) and spending wisely (not just spending additional revenues because they are available). When my wife and I were first married, we were on a tight budget because I was still in college and then in the Service during the Vietnam era. We knew how much income we would make during the month. From the income, we would deduct our fixed expenses and any money going toward savings. The remaining funds would be put into envelopes marked for food, entertainment, clothes, etc. Yes, we varied sometimes and took some funds from one envelope and put it into another when needed but the plan worked pretty well. Right, the process sounds pretty archaic. However, isn't that what our government is supposed to be doing on a gigantic level! Why does the same system not work for our government? Let's just look at a couple of the reasons. First, the money doesn't belong to the politicians. It is so much easier to spend someone else's money than your own. During my working career, when eating out on the company tab, I tried to stay at the middle priced items on the menu or below. I also worked with people who decided since it was the company's money they would order surf and turf for their meal. Second, there is no "pain" for the politician if the bills are not paid on time and interest is required to be paid on the debt. There are millions of United States workers who can "foot the bill" of debt interest through their taxes.
The national debt is over 16 trillion dollars and rising daily. Since it's hard to visualize this amount of money, let's use a word picture (all figures are approximate). If we loaded 50,000 pounds of $100 bills in trailers that were 53 feet long and parked the trailers (no tractors used) front to back, the line of trailers would continue for 2.9 miles.
Of course not one person would give up what he is "entitled" to in order to improve our debt situation. This is not true! I have a friend who was an officer in the Korean and Vietnam Wars who wrote to his political representatives to tell them we as a country must get our debt under control. This should start from the top down (the President to the individual worker), where all should give up a stated percentage of their benefits from the government. However, in doing so, the government would have to decrease its spending to a predetermined amount calculated as a function of the amount of benefits given up by each individual. As you may have imagined, my friend was not overwhelmed by responses. He received not one response! I know, this partial solution sounds like "pie in the sky" and maybe even naďve. But it sure is a step in the right direction, especially considering the financial quagmire the United States is in.
I know it's a trite comment, but, "just think what our children and grandchildren will be facing" is so true!

PRETORIA (Reuters) – South African Olympic and Paralympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius retched on the witness stand on Tuesday as he described the moments leading up to the shooting of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, on Valentine's Day last year.
During a morning of dramatic court testimony, Pistorius, who is accused of murdering Steenkamp, recounted how he heard a window sliding open in his bathroom in the middle of the night, convincing him an intruder was breaking in and that he needed to arm himself.
"That's the moment that everything changed," he said, his voice tense with emotion. "I thought that there was a burglar that was gaining entry to my home."
When post mortem pictures of Steenkamp's bloodstained body briefly flashed up on the courtroom television monitors, the 27-year-old athlete doubled over in the witness stand, retching into his cupped hands.
Pistorius fired four rounds through the door, three of which hit Steenkamp, killing her almost instantly. He denies murder, saying he fired in the belief an intruder was behind the door.

|Students are all smiles as pumpkin trailer arrives
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Students at Holyoke Elementary School were all smiles as they walked outside Tuesday, Oct. 23 to receive a free pumpkin. Pictured above are Mason Powell, Perla Olivas, Evan Widler, Maura Castillo, Kegan Beard and Annette Trejo Gonzalez.
Six area businesses partnered together to offer pumpkins to elementary students as well as preschoolers at Dragon's Wagon Preschool. Sponsors were Bank of Colorado, Grainland Cooperative, First Pioneer National Bank, Holyoke Community Federal Credit Union, PC Telcom and S&W Auto Supply.
Students walking away with their pumpkins above are, from left, Zander Salyers, Jerrid Ruitz, Jesus Trejo Arvizo and Rafael Morales.
Representatives volunteering their time last Tuesday were Tom Bennett, Rick and Jessica Cumming, Melyssa Ham, Mendi Lutze, Ben Rahe and Stacy Rueter. Toby Thompson delivered the pumpkins which were raised at Pumpkins and More A-maiz-ing Farm.
Pictured below are Fatima Nuñez, Angel Acosta, Tyla Knutson, Braxton Speicher, Briana Tena and Luke Sprague.

In response to RidingWithTheKing's comment:
In response to jri37's comment:
This is really interesting. The Pats/Kraft/BB usually don't address these issues publicly. They must feel like the agent really screwed this up and are just trying to protect the brand form the info Dunn is leaking out. If they didn't already have a strained relationship with Dunn (which is seems like they do) then this pretty much clinches that future dealings with Dunn clients are going to be difficult at best.
I applaud them. Wish they wwre more aggressive in that are with Spygate.
Just seems out of character. Dunn must have really pissed him off.
I think Dunn is embarrassed. I really do. His client got less in Welker was sold as a hot commodity.
I think if Welker had come to them first thing Tuesday morning saying Denver, Tenn, and 3 other teams have offers, they would have said see ya right there, not willing to compete.
The problem is, Welker didn't count on NE covering their azs on Tuesday. BB did cover his azs as he always does and Welker got burned, gambling on a hot market.
There was no hot market which is what the consensus was via the media. For weeks all we heard was "the word is, Welker's best place is in NE where Brdy makes him look good and Welker makes Brady look good".
Classic case of an agent misleading his client for greed.
I have no idea how Welker hasn't fired him.
Just like I heard on the radio on my way home this evening.
When you are disrespected by the team when they try to replace you last season, when they bring someone in to replace you this season do you really want to play there. People in the workforce would be looking for a new jobif it happened to them at their job, football is no different.
And... When an owner goes out of their way to say they want a player to be there, yet they really don't try to keep them there then they really didn't want him to be there. They knew had they pushed to keep Welker there then did not play him like last year there would be too much heat on coach Belichick and the New England Patriots the entire season. They didn't want to go down that road again. They would much rather take their chances on Amendola performing. This was just an attempt by Kraft to save face with the angry Pats fans who wanted Welker there.
After hearing these things it just showed me that the outside world understands what really went on and the few here are just delusional.

Aortic Stenosis
Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve opening that slows blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta.
The most common cause in people younger than 70 is a congenital abnormality of the valve. In people over 70, the most common cause is aortic sclerosis.
People may have chest pain, feel short of breath, or faint.
Doctors usually base the diagnosis on a characteristic heart murmur heard through a stethoscope, on pulse abnormalities, and on results of echocardiography.
People see their doctors regularly so their condition can be monitored, and people with symptoms may undergo surgical replacement of the valve.
In aortic stenosis, the wall of the left ventricle usually thickens because the ventricle must work harder to pump blood through the narrowed valve opening into the aorta. The thickened heart muscle requires an increasing supply of blood from the coronary arteries, and sometimes, especially during exercise, the blood supply does not meet the needs of the heart muscle, and chest pain, fainting, and sometimes sudden death may occur. The heart muscle may also begin to weaken, leading to heart failure. The abnormal aortic valve can rarely become infected by bacteria (infective endocarditis).
In North America, Australasia, and Western Europe, aortic stenosis is mainly a disease of older people—the result of scarring and calcium accumulation (calcification) in the valve cusps. In such cases, aortic stenosis begins after age 60 but does not usually cause symptoms until age 70 or 80. Aortic stenosis may also result from rheumatic fever contracted in childhood. When rheumatic fever is the cause, aortic stenosis is usually accompanied by mitral stenosis, leakage (regurgitation), or both.
In people under 70, the most common cause is a birth defect, such as a valve with only two cusps instead of the usual three or a valve with an abnormal funnel shape (see page Aortic Valve Stenosis). The narrowed aortic valve opening may not be a problem in infancy, but problems occur as a person grows. The valve opening remains the same size, but the heart grows and enlarges further as it tries to pump increasing amounts of blood through the small valve opening. Over the years, the opening of a defective valve often becomes stiff and narrow because calcium accumulates.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
People who develop aortic stenosis as a result of a birth defect may not develop symptoms until adulthood.
Chest pain (angina) may occur during exertion. This pain goes away with several minutes of rest. People with heart failure develop fatigue and shortness of breath during exertion.
People who have severe aortic stenosis may faint during exertion because blood pressure may fall suddenly. Fainting usually occurs without any warning symptoms (such as dizziness or light-headedness).
Doctors usually base the diagnosis on a characteristic heart murmur heard through a stethoscope and on results of echocardiography (see page Echocardiography and Other Ultrasound Procedures). Echocardiography is the best procedure for assessing the severity of aortic stenosis (by measuring how small the valve opening is) and the function of the left ventricle.
For people who have aortic stenosis but do not have symptoms, doctors often do a stress test (see page Stress Testing). People who experience angina, shortness of breath, or faintness during the stress test are at risk of complications and may need treatment.
Cardiac catheterization (see page Cardiac catheterization) is usually necessary to determine whether the person also has coronary artery disease.
Adults who have aortic stenosis but no symptoms should see their doctor regularly and should avoid overly stressful exercise. Echocardiography is done periodically to monitor heart and valve function.
In adults who have aortic stenosis that causes shortness of breath on exertion, angina, or fainting, the aortic valve is surgically replaced, preferably before the left ventricle is irreversibly damaged. Echocardiography, usually performed periodically, can help doctors determine when to schedule surgery. Surgical replacement of the abnormal valve is the best treatment for adults of all ages, and the prognosis after valve replacement is excellent.
Before surgery, heart failure is treated with diuretics (see page Some Drugs Used to Treat Heart Failure). Treating angina is often difficult, because nitroglycerin, which is used to treat angina in people who have coronary artery disease, can rarely cause dangerously low blood pressure and worsen the angina in people with aortic stenosis.
People with an artificial valve must take antibiotics before a surgical, dental, or medical procedure (see Table: Which Procedures Require Preventive Antibiotics*?) to reduce the risk of an infection on the valve (infective endocarditis).
For children who have severe stenosis, surgery may be done even before symptoms develop, because sudden death may occur before symptoms develop. Safe, effective alternatives to valve replacement are surgical repair of the valve and balloon valvotomy. In balloon valvotomy, a balloon-tipped catheter is threaded through a vein and eventually into the heart (see page Cardiac catheterization). Once inside the valve, the balloon is inflated to expand the valve opening. However, later, when children are fully grown, the valve usually must be replaced. In adults, repeat stenosis always recurs after balloon valvotomy. So among adults, this procedure is used only for frail older people who cannot tolerate surgery. A new technique is being developed in which the valve can be replaced through a catheter threaded up the femoral artery (rather than via surgery). At present, this transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedure appears better than medical therapy and about equivalent to surgical replacement, although increased rates of stroke occur.

So I was looking at my join date t'other day (yes it's wrong, my original Duff account was registered on the 28th, with another account registered four days before that), and just had a quick think about just how long I've spent here.
I've just turned 20. When I registered I was 14 and a couple of weeks away from starting studying for my GCSEs. Now I'm in my second year at university with a shitty part time job on the side to fund life. I've been on this site for nearly a third of my life. I dunno about anyone else but that's quite scary, particularly when I think what I did then and what I'm doing now. God knows where I'll be in another six years - still on this site no doubt, just with a lot more money and a nicer car (hopefully...).
I dunno why I made this thread. Just wondering if anyone else has ever thought about how much their life has changed in the time they've been shitting over the boards I guess. Any stories?

Saturday News, November 24
SRT Team Called To Resolve Incident
(Orange City) -- The Sioux County Sheriff's Office received a 911 call yesterday at about 11:15 a.m. from a Shannon Mennon, age 38. Mennon said he had been living in numerous different areas of northwest Iowa, using different identities, for several years. He advised the dispatcher he was wanted in several States on felony warrants and wanted to turn himself in. He informed the dispatcher he was in a car located two mile southwest of Matlock, IA, at the Matlock Cemetery. When officers arrived they became suspicious of the situation. They were unable to communicate or get a response from Mennon. The Plymouth-Sioux-Le Mars Special Response Team (SRT) was called to assist.
At 2:30 p.m., Mennon was taken into custody by the SRT, without incident. It was determined he may have taken an overdose of medication; consequently, he was transported to the Sheldon hospital by the Boyden Ambulance, under the escort of Sioux County Sheriff's deputies. Mennon was later transferred from the Sheldon hospital to Mercy Medical Center in Sioux City, IA. Once he is released from the hospital, he will be held at the Sioux County Jail pursuant a warrant of arrest issued by Ohio for Theft. There were also warrants issued for Mennon in New Mexico and Missouri.
The sheriff's office was assisted by the Plymouth-Sioux- Le Mars SRT, Iowa State Patrol and the Boyden Ambulance squad.
Two People Charged With Drug Possession
(Le Mars) -- The Plymouth County Sheriff's Office filed drug charges on two individuals. The arrest took place this past Sunday when Brianna Petrick, age 18 of Sioux City, was stopped at Hwy 12 and K18S for an equipment violation. Petrick was found to be under the influence of marijuana and was arrested (serious misdemeanor). The passenger Krystopher Dallas Underwood, age 22 of Sioux City, was cited for possession of drug paraphernalia (simple misdemeanor). Underwood was given a court date and released. Petrick was booked into the Plymouth County Jail with a bond of $1,000.

immediately available.
Teenager Dies In Accident Near Prescott
PRESCOTT, Iowa (AP) - An Iowa teenager is dead and another was hospitalized after a rollover crash in southwest Iowa.
Atlantic radio station KJAN-AM reports that an unidentified 16-year-old was killed Friday in a crash northeast of Prescott. The teenager was a passenger in a van driven by a 17-year-old. Both teens are from Creston.
The Iowa State Patrol says neither teen was wearing a seatbelt. They were traveling west on a gravel road in a 2002 Honda van. Authorities say the driver lost control after cresting a hill and
over-corrected. The van went partially into a north ditch, and a second over-correction sent the van into a south ditch, where it rolled.
The 16-year-old was ejected, and died at the scene. The driver was taken to Adams County Hospital in Corning.
Strawberry Point Man Attacks Family on Thanksgiving
STRAWBERRY POINT, Iowa (AP) - A northeast Iowa man faces a slew of charges after he allegedly attacked his nephew and two other family members on Thanksgiving Day.
KWWL-TV in Waterloo reports that 40-year-old Glen Bradford Henke of Strawberry Point was arrested Thursday night. The Clayton County Sheriff's office says Henke sliced his nephew's forehead with a knife, pushed his mother to the ground twice, and punched his sister in the face.
Henke was charged with domestic abuse assault, child endangerment, going armed with intent and two counts of willful injury. He was taken to the Clayton County Jail and held, pending a hearing before a magistrate.
Man Robs Cedar Rapids Bank
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) - Police have been looking for a man who robbed a bank branch in northeast Cedar Rapids.
The Gazette reports the robbery occurred at a Wells Fargo branch around 12:50 p.m. Wednesday.
Police Lieutenant Cody Estling says the man walked into the bank and passed a note to a teller. It was unclear whether he showed the teller a weapon or was even armed.
The robber left with an undisclosed amount of cash. No injuries were reported.
Math Teacher Pleads Not Guilty To Sexual Exploitation
PARKERSBURG, Iowa (AP) - A former math teacher in north-central Iowa has pleaded not guilty to allegations that she had sexual contact with four teenage students.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports that 24-year-old Ashley Anderson of Ackley could face trial as soon as January 15th. Anderson has been charged with four felony counts of sexual exploitation by a school employee. Each carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison.
Anderson has resigned from her job as a math teacher at Aplington-Parkersburg High School.
A criminal complaint in Butler County says Anderson sent nude photographs of herself to the students and had sexual contact with them, including intercourse with one. The boys ranged in age from 16 to 18.
Court records say the alleged incidents occurred during the 2011 to 2012 school year.

Bruce Horkey's Wood & Parts - Classic LifeWritten by on December 1, 2009 Horkey's Wood & Parts, Inc.
For as long as we can remember there has always been a copy of the first edition of Custom Classic Trucks shelved somewhere here in the office, but we're darned if we can find it now. Who knows, maybe the trash man snagged it and sold it on eBay, or perhaps the dog ate it. If our memory serves us well, Bruce Horkey and his company: Bruce Horkey's Wood & Parts, Inc., has been a valued advertiser since that very first issue. That said, we figured it was high time CCT readers got a good firsthand look at Bruce's family operation, and since nobody knows the story better than Bruce himself we'll use his words.
"After graduating tool and die school and a hitch in the U.S. Navy I started my working career in 1975 doing cabinet and furniture work. In my spare time, I built a hot rod '54 Ford F-100 and realized a need for replacement bed parts and accessories for the truck rod restoration hobby. By 1985 the truck parts portion of the business had grown to the point where we (my wife, Mari, and brother Ted) decided to go full time on building truck parts and phased out the cabinet portion of the business.
"Fulfilling a truck guys dream included purchasing an acreage near the rural southwestern Minnesota town of Windom. We initially built a 40x60-foot shop and over the years, have grown it to a 12,000-foot complex of specialty areas, enabling our crew to provide personal service to satisfy our customers."

"Between production runs of bed kits, we're willing to fill custom orders for hardwoods other than our standard oak and ash. Other species are available like African mahogany, Bubinga, purpleheart, teak, padauk, cherry, walnut, hickory, and most domestic hardwoods.""Here's a custom fuel fill access door that is all cut from the same board, almost disappearing when closed. A special aluminum support rail allows the door to pivot open when touched by finger.""This is a traveling box display we put together to use at the shows we attend to help showcase many of the parts and accessories available to our customers.""Our shop truck, a '55 Ford F-250 with a warmed-over 429-inch Ford, C-6, Vintage Air, oak and stainless floor, riding on air-ride suspension. At Bruce Horkey's Wood & Parts, we live trucks!""Located in close proximity to the prime hardwood growing region of SE Minnesota and SW Wisconsin, we're able to select from over 4 million board foot of inventory at our supplier's warehouse, enabling us to offer a wide selection of domestic and exotic hardwoods.""We will pre-assemble your box, assuring a "bolt together" fit when you're ready to put your truck together. Staining and finishing of the bed wood is also an option. We can help you achieve that complementary color and look that's so important to blending the wood's classic richness with today's paint and upholstery finishes."
"This heirloom 1938 International stake bed truck is in the Ellingson Auto Museum in Rogers, MN. We built and finished the metal platform and ash floor and racks.""Because of our extensive inventory we can offer a full range of high-quality pickup box related parts to help with your custom or restoration project. We also have a full line of licensed replacement parts for your project.""This stainless gas fill is being fitted to a customer's purpleheart bed kit. Personal service and customer satisfaction is our goal.""Our friendly, knowledgeable staff is eager to help customers get the parts they need at competitive prices.""Ted Horkey speaks Dodge fluently as well as Chevy, GMC, and Ford.

Hargrave 76By Jason Y. Wood
Tall Order
The Hargrave 76 shows the unexpected beauty of custom builds with her human scale.
Every custom yacht I look at makes me think differently about every other boat I see. I like that fact about custom builds, but don't assume I think they're better than other, comparable boats. Because I don't. Instead, I believe custom boats offer insight into a person, with all his or her idiosyncrasies, rather than a closer look at endless combinations of focus groups and research and the corporate we-do-it-this-way-because-we-always-have mentality. Because, you see, the personality traits that come through—those imprints left on the shroud, if you will—are what make a boat the function of a human being.
The Hargrave 76 is just such a boat. This flushdeck motoryacht has three staterooms plus a nifty crew's quarters aft, and it makes my point for me. It sounds so simple: After all, boats wouldn't exist without people to build them and go to sea in them and covet them. And yet, so many spaces on so many boats are so clearly designed as though a person would never set foot in them. Most notable of these are engine rooms, where the service points, if not accessible, are aptly named: As in you will need service—you won't be doing it yourself.
Now it's one heck of a place to start talking about a boat—the mechanical spaces and crew's quarters—especially on one with so many positive attributes as the Hargrave 76. But there's a reason I want to start here. I misread my schedule at the Yacht and Brokerage Show in Miami last February and had to wait to get on the boat for some time. But there was a fair breeze even though it was hot, and I stood on the dock looking at her transom for much longer than usual. That's when I noticed the height of the transom door, which leads to those crew's quarters. And indeed, when I got my turn I went and stood on the sill of that door and stood up to my full, towering height of 5 feet 10 inches. And I could just barely feel the top of that door frame touching the breeze-tousled hair on top of my head. I couldn't bump my noggin going through here if I tried, and if you know me, that's saying something.
Three steps down is the tidy crew's quarters, where a skipper's queen berth and a pullman berth share a space tucked behind a three-panel pocket door to port. To starboard is the head, the door of which is flanked by the two tallest sole-to-overhead hanging lockers I've ever seen. All of this is finished in Makore veneer joinery to the same level as the saloon and the rest of the accommodations onboard, but with one advantage: The centerpiece for this space is the gleaming, polished stainless engine-room door.
Picture if you will a museum dedicated to the concept of a boat's engine room. Such an idea came to me when I saw the polished stainless railing around each of the 1,150-horsepower Caterpillar C18 ACERT diesels, and if you have an active imagination you will get a sense of what it's like to spend time in the main mechanical space on this boat. The engines sit on mounts below the painted diamondplate walkways, all the more astonishing when you consider that the lowest level of headroom in here is 85 ¼ inches. (It's actually better than 88 inches for most of the space.) Rigging is seamanlike and organized, and service points such as duplex Racor fuel-water separators are readily accessible, as are the Racor fuel filters for each of the 27-kilowatt Phasor generators. Solid equipment choices such as Naiad stabilizers, a Torrid water heater, and a Sea Recovery watermaker complete the picture.
But there's more to this boat than gleaming white spaces punctuated by stainless steel. Her saloon immediately put me at ease as I stepped through the sliding glass door from the afterdeck. The space has a 9-foot-by-6-foot L-shaped settee to port, opposite an angled 40-inch Samsung flatscreen to starboard, placed high in its curved, satin-finish Makore cabinet. The formal dining area—centered on a custom teak dining table expandable with an 18-inch leaf—is at the forward end of this space, but I noticed there was no Alice in Wonderland feeling of stepping ever deeper down the rabbit hole, probably thanks to the height of the ivory Ultra Vinyl overhead, as well as the large windows looking out to both side decks and beyond.
Step forward to the lower helm, past the country-kitchen-style galley to port. A destroyer-style wheel and Glendinning binnacle set the stage, while two Furuno NavNet 3D multifunction displays share the satin-finish console with a pair of Caterpillar engine-management screens and ancillary equipment. A handy pantograph door grants access to the starboard side deck for easy docking if inclement weather forces the skipper below. While standing at the helm, a look over my left shoulder gave me, well, a view of the galley. Maybe it's a quibble, but I would rather the chef give up some stowage space to improve my sightlines a bit more.
That galley offers a slew of stainless steel GE appliances and satin Makore stowage lockers and cabinets surrounding an island topped in Kodiak granite. The dinette table forward and to port of the lower helm will surely be a gathering place for guests, as will the galley island, which I can see doubling as a chart table so you can find your next anchorage well before nightfall.
Head up the stairs abaft the Zwardvis helm seat to the flying bridge. Now you're beginning to realize just how big a 76-footer can be. Beneath a hardtop that looks like it will be here until the end of time sits a centerline helm with a Pompanette seat, a single Furuno plotter, engine monitors, and more. Abaft that is a U-shaped dinette to port and a bar with three fixed stools to starboard. While the hardtop may end there, the deck just keeps going and going (it shades the entire afterdeck below) until you find a 1,600-pound-capacity QuickLift davit. The tender stows athwartships but, in a breezy anchorage, I would launch her first thing and set up deck chairs. This is where I'd want to spend my time, both under way and on the hook.
It's easy to get around the exterior spaces of the boat, thanks to 17-inch-wide side decks, so access to the bow area with its spacious sunpad is no problem, and good railings help you feel secure.
At sea, the boat handles very well, especially considering her windage—this is a big 76-footer. Her Jack Sarin-designed running surface was conceived to solve some perceived problems that arose in other designs. "The design features a full-length hard chine becoming a fairly aggressive spray knocker continuing all the way forward to the raked stem," Sarin wrote in his comments on the project. "Coupled with a stylish amount of flare to the forward topsides the hull should be very dry with a minimum of side-wetting." Our sea trial was no test of spray, considering the flat seas and light winds.
If you're hunting for a boat in this size range, I expect you've begun to notice the word semi-custom being bandied about. There are traditionally styled motoryachts as well as those with a European aesthetic—all told, a fair number are out there from which to choose with a range of accommodations, performance, efficiency, and appearance.
And Hargrave Custom Yachts has been in the mix for some time. The company got its start as the design firm of Jack Hargrave, the yacht designer for such brands as Burger, Hatteras, and Amels, among others. Hargrave lived by the dictum that, at the end of the day, a boat had to perform at sea, according to the company.
"We understand our market because we understand our owners," says Mike Joyce, chairman and CEO of Hargrave Custom Yachts. "Because we build custom yachts, we know what they want because they tell us. And we come to the right combination of quality, value, and customization by working with owners in a partnership." If such a partnership results in a 76-footer with interior volume like this, we're listening.
Stairs to starboard of the lower helm bring you to the accommodations, where a delightful amidships master stretches across the full beam, with a huge built-in chest of drawers to starboard and a desk or vanity to port, as well as two hanging lockers. Two-pane side windows provide natural light to the space, but are situated high enough to offer a bit of privacy even without the blinds drawn. The same style windows illuminate the master his-and-hers head with central shower. Curving cabinet fronts seem to make the most of the space, with convex lower cabinets complemented by concave upper ones.
Along the passageway forward, there's a laundry room with side-by-side washer and dryer to starboard and a guest stateroom with twin berths (convertible to a double) to port. This section of the boat sums up for me in two points what I was talking about earlier: First, that guest stateroom actually has the highest overhead of any location I could find, at 90 ¼ inches, in a vestibule area as you enter the room near the door to the en suite head. And second, the fact that laundry takes precedence over adding more guest accommodations is a decision that speaks to me. Better to have fewer people and plenty of clean towels. After all, who wants to join their friends on a yacht and end up in a bunk stateroom? Don't answer that. Good night, honey.
Head forward to the VIP stateroom and you'll find two steps in the passageway on the way there. The forward stateroom has a large island berth (72 inches wide) and plenty of stowage, with a hanging locker and delightful en suite head.
Going through this boat, from the mechanical spaces to the accommodations to that flying bridge that fired my imagination, I got to thinking. If every boat is a compromise, then it's a wonder to me that more yachtsmen don't consider a custom build. At least then the owner can set the terms of each compromise, rather than a design team or a focus group. That's what I like most about custom builds: They make me think about the owner, who is clearly a person who often has a vision of the possibilities, which, in the right hands, turns into something beautiful.

There are a few popular discussions surrounding Stefan Struve (24-5 MMA, 8-3 UFC) and his fight with Stipe Miocic (9-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC).
Oddsmakers say he is an underdog against the undefeated Miocic in a headlining fight at UFC on FUEL TV 5, which takes place Saturday at Capital FM Arena in Nottingham, England.
While breaking down the fight, some fans also say Struve has a suspect chin. He disagrees with both.
"I know for a fact that I've got a really good chin," Struve told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "I showed that in multiple fights."
Not surprisingly, it's not those fights that fans point to. Certainly not the one where he took heavy leather on his back against Denis Stojnic or traded punches with ex-kickboxer Pat Barry. Knockout losses to Travis Browne and Roy Nelson are the centerpiece of an argument that Struve is vulnerable.
But Struve, whose main event airs on FUEL TV (4 p.m. ET) following prelims on Facebook, thinks those aren't fair measures.
"The shots that I got hit with by Browne and Nelson would have taken anybody down," he said. "So that's not something I really worry about."
Struve said he's a gambling man, and because of that, he's aware the odds are stacked against him. Clearly, the lines favor youth over experience. Despite being six years older than "Skyscraper," Miocic is younger in his fight career. In theory, he's experienced enough to know what he's doing, but not too experienced to have suffered the heartache of loss, or the experience of rebounding from a setback.
Struve said that despite his 29-fight resume, he's still coming into his own as a fighter. At 24 years old, he believes he's got another four years at minimum before he's reached his physical prime.
So, wrong again.
"The people have their reasons for making him the favorite in the fight, but I don't see it," he said.
With three recent wins under his belt, Struve is again nearing the point where he's due to fight a top contender. Miocic, who was heavily hyped in his UFC debut, represents another young lion to bat down. But consider that in his two most recent performances, Struve has ended the hot streaks of Dave Herman and Lavar Johnson, who also enjoyed good press prior to their misfortunes.
Struve's setbacks, meanwhile, have been spaced out by win streaks. Only current champ Junior Dos Santos, Roy Nelson and Travis Browne have stopped him.
When he meets Miocic, Struve is looking for an emphatic finish to catapult him back to the top of the heavyweight division. He disagrees with anyone who thinks a decision is a good idea.
"All my wins, except for one, are finishes, and I want to keep that streak going," Struve said. "I don't want decisions on my record. They don't look good. So I want to finish this fight, and finish it fast.
"With a decision win, you really need to dominate to call it a win, and if you finish somebody, nobody can even discuss."
Struve, in other words, loves ending discussions.

I'm so glad I don't have to watch Lucca play anymore. Standing around outside the three point line, worthless if he's not wide open, no defensive skills to speak of, and not very athletic.
We finally have a point guard playing in an offense that is a proper fit for his abilities. DG playing McDermott's "offense" is like recruiting an option QB to play in a pro style offense.
Scotty won't be quitting mid season to go play pro ball in Europe.
Everything that everyone's said.
Also I think this year our players will be playing for the team and not themselves.
Cy has balls of steel.
I think we also have a coach that understands how to coach guards in any way..
Defense and Hustle.

2. Players drive to the basket, forcing a whistle.
3. All players actually look at our coach now when they huddle during timeouts.
4. Rebounding emphasis and effort.
5. Passes have a purpose.

For the past month or so, fans and fighters have lamented the cancellation of September's UFC 151 event.
Not Jay Hieron (23-5 MMA, 0-2 UFC).
Sure, "The Thoroughbred" was just as disappointed as anyone else that he missed out on a chance to fight at the scrapped Sept. 1 fight card. But after a little consideration, Hieron believes it may have simply been a blessing in disguise.
"I took it as a blessing and a positive," Hieron told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "I had more time to train and prepare. For me, that's always good. I like to be as sharp as possible. Now I'm ready to go. I'm sharp, and everything's looking great."
Hieron was booked for UFC 151 when Josh Koscheck was injured and forced out of the event. A nine-year veteran of the sport who hadn't fought in the octagon since 2005, Heiron was slated in the evening's co-main event against top-rated welterweight Jake Ellenberger (27-6 MMA, 6-2 UFC).
Hieron was excited about the matchup. After all, he defeated Ellenberger in a 2006 bout under the International Fight League banner, and he had just recently assisted teammate Martin Kampmann prepare for "The Juggernaut" by mimicking Ellenberger's style.
"Me and Jake have history," Hieron said. "I even gave Martin kind of a look for Jake. It's great knowing a little bit about your opponent."
But when UFC 151 headliner Dan Henderson was forced out of the main event (and Lyoto Machida turned down an opportunity to step in before light heavyweight champion Jon Jones declined to face Chael Sonnen), the entire event was scrapped. Hieron was briefly left in the dark about his long-awaited return to the octagon.
Would he be re-booked with such a high-profile opponent? Would he enjoy such prominent placement on the card? When would he actually get the chance to fight?
As it turned out, everything worked out just fine, as he his fight was simply pushed back five weeks to Friday's UFC on FX 5 event, which takes place at Minneapolis' Target Center. Ellenberger is still the opponent, and it's still a co-main event.
"That's definitely great," Hieron said. "I'm blessed. They put us back on a co-main event, which is incredible. I'm excited.
"It wasn't that a bad a thing once I took a step back and looked at everything. I kind of let the dust settle when I got the call for the cancellation. They said, 'Oct. 5, co-main event, Minneapolis.' So everything still turned out great. I had more time. It was still the co-main event, the same opponent. It was great. Everything was good."
Hieron said the previous fight between the two will have little impact on this affair as both have matured greatly since that time. But he remains confident that his abilities match up favorably to Ellenberger's.
Sure, it would have been nice to fight in September. But for Hieron, all that matters now is imposing his will on Friday night.
"I know what he brings to the table," Hieron said. "He knows kind of what I bring to the table. I'm ready to go. He'll be ready to go.
"I know, of course, he's a big, strong puncher. He's coming to the table with that. But at the end of the day, I'm definitely focused on what I have to do."

Cg5 and celestron 7amps powertank

You can estimate your mounts run time rather easily. The average current draw from my CG-5 is about 1.5 Amps, although this numbers a bit high but I'm assuming you're doing a good amount of slewing. So a 7Ah battery will operate around 4.5 hours roughly. Taking into account battery life and you never want to completely discharge a lead acid battery you're looking at around 3.5 hours.

I use two 105 Ah deep cycle batteries in the field and will probably add a third one dedicated to the mount alone.
Just a thought.
Edit: I found a 18Ah 12V Battery for about $35 on Amazon. Should work fine for most smaller mounts and for my Mach1.

A 7AH power tank seems to work handily, and it can have it's battery replaced and return to service at half the cost of a new one. I did this with one powertank and one of the Orion version.
What I have not been able to get to work, and I don't know why, is plugging in a USB car charger to be able to run mobile stuff off of a powertank on non-astronomy nights. Insufficient battery power?
40 ah to run the Mach 1 one night? Never heard that.

or youcan get these from Radio Shack...

Slewing both motors at top speed, the mount draws about .71 amps.
I use a 10 battery pack of Eneloop 2500ma rechargeable AA batteries, and I get about 3 to 4 hours of run time if I am not doing long, across the meridian slews every time.
In a normal session, I will do maybe 2 hours and maybe 30 slews, but I tend to work "Linearly" with my observing, moving short distances for each slew and this pack has never let me down.
I run my XX12G Go-To dob for about the same amount of time, and the 8SE also, so to me, it does not seem like the CG5 is less efficient than these other mounts. All will run several hours if you are efficient with your slewing.
All of them measure pretty closely on current draw, with .3 to .35 amps for tracking, and .7 to .8 amps for slewing.
I also made a cable with two 9Vdc type connectors so I can either double up my pack for over twice the run time, or I can hot-swap out... Put in a second pack in parallel to the first and pull out the first pack. The mount never stops or looses settings.
Lots of people told me that this did not work and I could only run 21minutes or something, but I had been using this and was happy enough with it as a solution. I don't observe all night though, so I would not suggest that this is a solution for marathon events.
For "Grab and Go" type observing of 2-3 hours though, it has been working quite well for me personally. I have not hooked up to a house or car battery since doing this.
With the hot swap, I could run for days if I wanted. I have a 12 position charger and the batteries charge at 1 amp, so turnaround on a pack is less than 2 hours normally, depending on how low I let the pack get. The plastic pack itself costs about $2 each ( I only have two) so you could make as many packs as you wanted, but I rarely go so long that I need to put in the second pack.
I use all rechargeables these days. The trick to making this work is use the highest quality AA pre-charged you can get. That would be Eneloop XX 2500s.
But even the Eneloop 2000s run my XX12G for a normal 2 hour session without any problem. I was out a few nights ago with the XX12 Go-To dob and did about two and a half hours on the 2000ma pack and I still had about 1/3rd capacity remaining. About 30 slews by motor. I do my across the sky slews by hand though, which of course you can't do with the CG5 or the 8SE, The motors have to run to reposition the scope. The XX12G though can be moved manually at any time to save battery. Just let go and it starts tracking again at the position you leave it. I manually slew on very long slews to about where I need to be, then Go-To for the final slew. It goes longer on a pack then the CG5, but again, most of my slews the other night were pure motor-drive Go-Tos. I only manually slew when I am moving maybe a quarter of the way across the sky.
Anyway, to answer your question, I find the run time of the CG5 to be similar to the run time of the 8SE and XX12G, so I would say that it is "typical" of mounts in this class.

Is there anything Questlove can't do? The Roots drummer and Jimmy Fallon sidekick is also a DJ, record producer, sneaker designer and now a fried chicken and dumpling purveyor. Hybird, his new fast food eatery in the Chelsea Market, has a mod design and a standing-room-only counter in back for immediate consumption (which we recommend in order to experience the fried items' maximum crunchiness). Chubby drumsticks are thickly battered and go well with honey-buttered biscuits and an ice-cold "loveslush," in watermelon-jalapeño or honey-ginger lemonade. Golden fried dumplings are as small and delicate as hummingbirds, variously filled with curried chicken, creamy crab or truffled egg. Stephen Starr (Morimoto, Buddakan) is a partner on the project, which began as a catering novelty and drew publicity from a fried chicken showdown Questlove staged against Momofuku's David Chang. (He lost, but nothing can stop the rise of Questlove.)

Hallyeohaesang National Park, a unique marine ecosystem in South Korea, has been certified as a Category II Protected Area under the UN List of Protected Areas. Hallyeohaesang National Park was designated in 1968 as one of the first national marine protected areas in Korea. Poul Engberg-Pedersen, Deputy Director General of IUCN, presented a certificate to the Executive Director of the Korean National Park Service (KNPS) Dr. Dongwon Shin. "This certificate is an example of the many ways in which IUCN cooperates with its Members. It cements the relationship between the government and people of Korea and IUCN, which will reach a peak at the World Conservation Congress in Jeju", said Engberg-Pedersen.
World Vision Lanka and IUCN Sri Lanka signed a MoU agreeing to work collaboratively by sharing information, best practice approaches and technical expertise. The MoU will benefit both institutions by providing a context and framework for developing and maintaining cooperation in the fields of their common interests on sustainable development and conservation of nature. World Vision Lanka is a Christian humanitarian relief and development organisation operating in Sri Lanka engaged in transformational, development, humanitarian and emergency relief activities.
IUCN Pakistan under its Balochistan programme has held a series of training workshops on advanced GIS techniques. Chief guest Mr. Sarwar Javed, Senior Member Board of Revenue expressed his views about the training. He stated that geography is the science of our world. Coupled with GIS, geography is helping us to better understand the earth and apply geographic knowledge to a host of human activities. This approach allows us to create geographic knowledge by measuring the earth, organizing this data, and analyzing and modeling various processes and their relationships. The Geographic Approach also allows us to apply this knowledge to the way we design, plan, and bring positive change in our world. IUCN began its work in Balochistan in 1992 when it technically facilitated Balochistan Government in drafting and formulating the Balochistan Conservation Strategy.
If protected, nature has an amazing ability to recover after disturbance. But the ability to recover depends on the health and resilience of the ecosystem. Mangroves in the Mekong Delta illustrate this principle. In many areas, mangroves have been cleared to make shrimp ponds, often leaving a very thin strip of mangrove forest behind. Where mangroves remain, they are mostly single-species plantations, with very low biodiversity. The poor health and the presence of physical barriers make the delta's mangroves very vulnerable to disturbance. IUCN's EU funded Building Coastal Resilience (BCR) project is working to strengthen the adaptive capacity of coastal communities across the delta in Can Gio, Ben Tre, Soc Trang, and Kien Giang as well as in Cambodia and Thailand.
Population growth, industrial and farmland expansion in Asia are stretching the limits of water allocation for nature's needs. Environmental Flows, or ensuring sufficient water for both people and nature, was the theme of a recent training workshop in Khao Lak, Thailand. Investing in natural infrastructure, such as restoring floodplains, wetlands and rivers, means complementing engineered hard infrastructure, to help reduce the impact of flood events such as experienced in the recent Thailand flooding in November 2011. The participants from Southeast Asia were supported by IUCN's Mekong Water Dialogues (MWD) project. The participants from Southeast Asia were supported by IUCN's Water and Nature Initiative, Mekong Water Dialogues and Building River Dialogue and Governance projects.
Media professionals from Bangladesh and India at a recent media dialogue organised by IUCN in Bangkok, Thailand called for a joint media strategy to promote better understanding of trans-boundary resource management between the countries. "Ecosystems for Life: A Bangladesh-India Initiative (E4L)", brought together 20 distinguished media professionals that included editors, senior journalists, academia and practitioners from Bangladesh and India to establish a sustainable and mutually-beneficial relationship among media in the two countries.
Keith Wheeler, Chair of IUCN's Commission for Education and Communications spoke at the Asia-Pacific Forest Week in Beijing on "New Media—New Messages" highlighting the need for change in environmental communications. Have we done enough in communicating environmental issues? How do our messages reach seven billion people? How do we reach people outside the sector? How do we get people to change? Can scientists make their cases to non-scientists? Mr Wheeler draws upon a study showing that when people see the benefits of their own contribution, they are more inclined to change. The messages need to be personalized, humanized, and publicized. With positive mobilization of the public, we will see policy and behavioural change.
For Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia there are significant opportunities in Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD). However, it is already clear that the extent to which a country will be able to attract international investment and REDD payments will depend on its ability to put in place a system that rewards forest managers who are changing behavior to reduce deforestation and forest degradation. It is necessary to establish a Benefit Distribution System (BDS) that is transparent and efficient, and rewards those actually providing the emission reduction and biodiversity conservation services. This project was supported by the Swedish Environmental Secretariat for Asia (SENSA) to build on work by IUCN completed under UN-REDD in Viet Nam and share these experiences and approaches with Laos and Cambodia, and to initiate similar work in these two countries.
Between 2005 and 2009, the IUCN project Strengthening Voices for Better Choices (SVBC) sought to improve the effectiveness of forest governance in six key tropical forest countries: Brazil, Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo), Ghana, Sri Lanka, Tanzania and Viet Nam. SVBC recognised that to improve forest governance requires an understanding of the policy, regulatory and institutional obstacles to managing forests sustainably. This new brief summarises the findings of the SVBC national assessments, and is based on a synthesis of the assessments prepared for SVBC in 2010 by Patricia Moore, Thomas Greiber and Saima Baig.
The latest update of The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ illustrates the efforts undertaken by IUCN and its partners to expand the number and diversity of species assessed, improving the quality of information in order to obtain a better picture of the state of biodiversity. With now more than 61,900 species reviewed, another big step forward has been made toward developing the IUCN Red List into a true 'Barometer of Life,' as called for by leading experts in the magazine Science in 2010.
On 16 November 2011, the 77th Meeting of the IUCN Council admitted 52 new Members to IUCN and officially recognized the Malawi National Committee of IUCN Members. 20 new Members joined from the Asia region including many from the Republic of Korea. IUCN Membership now tops 1200 organizations and institutions. The Council, President, Director General and entire family of IUCN extend a very warm welcome to the new Members and Committee, and look forward to their active involvement.
The Royal Government of Bhutan has officially announced its decision to join IUCN by endorsing the IUCN Statutes. The Ministry of Agriculture and Forests has been designated by the Royal Government of Bhutan as its liaison with the IUCN Secretariat. IUCN extends its warmest welcome to the Kingdom of Bhutan."IUCN is extremely honoured to have the Royal Government of Bhutan join IUCN as a State Member" says Aban Marker Kabraji, Regional Director, Asia."Bhutan is a country which has thoughtfully embarked on a pathway of development which is extremely unique and as such provides a real source of inspiration to many other societies which are seeking to find a balance between human development and the sustainability of the natural environment."
