A North Carolina man on death row who wrote a taunting letter to a newspaper gives a different version of his life in communications with family members.
Kathy Hembree Ledbetter released a letter Thursday written by her brother, Danny, in which he says life in prison is "overwhelming" and "depressing."
Danny Hembree was sentenced to death for murdering 17-year-old Heather Catterton in 2009. He's scheduled to go on trial in March in the killing of Randi Dean Saldana, whose burned body was found in Blacksburg, S.C.
This week, a letter from Hembree was printed in The Gaston Gazette. He described himself as a man of leisure and taunted readers.
Ledbetter says her brother is mentally ill and wrote the letter as a way of lashing out.
A death row inmate accused of killing three women and dumping two of them in South Carolina says in a letter to his hometown newspaper that he will spend many years getting decent care and enjoying frequent naps before he meets his end.
"Kill me if you can, suckers," Danny Robbie Hembree Jr. wrote in a letter to The Gaston Gazette. "Ha! Ha! Ha!"
The 50-year-old is on death row at Central Prison in Raleigh for suffocating Heather Catterton, 17, in 2009. He's also accused of the 2009 killing of Randi Dean Saldana, 30, whose burned remains were found near Blacksburg, S.C.
Hembree admitted to taking drugs and having sex with Catterton and Saldana the day they died, but he told jurors he did not kill them or dump their bodies. He is scheduled to go on trial in March for Saldana's killing.
"Is the public aware that the chances of my lawful murder taking place in the next 20 years if ever are very slim?" Hembree asked. "Is the public aware that I am a gentleman of leisure, watching color TV in the A.C., reading, taking naps at will, eating three well-balanced meals a day?"
"The state of North Carolina has sentenced me to death, but it's not real," he wrote. "You citizens of Gaston Co. should petition the state and force them to carry out my murder sentence."
Hembree also is charged with killing Deborah Ratchford, 30, whose body was found in a Gastonia cemetery in 1992.
No one has been executed in North Carolina since 2006.

Future Herd foes UCF, Southern Miss meet Saturday
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Many Marshall football players have their Saturday night entertainment set -- their next two opponents play.
Each other, conveniently enough.
"This week we're going to get everybody healthy, then sit back and watch our opponents," said receiver Aaron Dobson. "Definitely, there's a lot we are going to learn."
Southern Mississippi takes on Central Florida at 8 p.m. Saturday in Orlando, a contest which usually has major implications in the Conference USA East Division race. Still might - in four of seven seasons since the 2005 realignment, the winner has gone on to win the division.
UCF (3-2, 1-0) has looked good this season, even in defeats to Ohio State and Missouri, and is coming off a 40-20 win over East Carolina. And that was after the Pirates took a 14-0 lead in the first eight minutes.
That's impressive. Defending champion Southern Miss (0-5, 0-1), so far, is not.
Not since the Golden Eagles lost the first nine games of 1976 has a season gone that far south out of the gate. The lowlights under first-year coach Ellis Johnson have been plenty, including:
And now, the Eagles head to Bright House Networks Stadium to face a Knights team bouncing back nicely from a disappointing 2011.
At the root of the problems is a quagmire at quarterback, as Southern Miss struggles with life after four-year starter Austin Davis. And with life after Larry Fedora, who left after four seasons to become coach at North Carolina.
New coach Ellis Johnson and offensive coordinator Steve Buckley have tried three signal-callers - Anthony Alford, Ricky Lloyd and Chris Campbell - and none have been great. The Eagles' completion percentage is 45.3 percent and their pass efficiency rating is on the wrong side of 100. Johnson expects Alford to start and Lloyd to probably play against UCF, with Campbell recovering from injury.
Against Boise, the Eagles' five turnovers included two interceptions thrown by Lloyd and three lost fumbles. The Broncos cashed in with touchdowns off four of those.
"The biggest problem is just turnovers," Johnson said. "It's creating field position problems. It's creating time of possession problems. It's obviously equating into points. The average field position difference was about 22 yards and when you multiply that by how many possession exchanges there are, you get up into 300, 345, 350 yards of difference before the ball is even snapped.
"We're just not good enough right now to overcome that."
Miners coach Mike Price is sticking with senior Nick Lamaison, despite his 9-of-23, two-interception performance. Price does have precedent on which to draw.
"One of the finest men I've ever known was the president at Washington State, and I can remember asking me, 'Do you think you're staying with the quarterback too long? He hasn't played real great.' I said, 'I think I'm doing the right thing, and the right thing is to stick with Drew Bledsoe. He's just a freshman.'"
UTSA is undefeated in five games, beating reclassifying South Alabama, future Sun Belt program Georgia State and New Mexico State. The Roadrunners, playing in the Western Athletic Conference for a year, belted the Aggies 35-14 last week.
The first question: UTSA has drawn 30,416 and 25,742 in its two home games. How badly can its fans outnumber those of the lightly drawing Rice?
After gaining the first victory under coach Justin Fuente, the Tigers travel to East Carolina (3-3, 2-1) on Saturday.

Columbia, SC (WLTX) - A University of South Carolina football player was arrested late Thursday night after police say he was disorderly while trying to cross a road.
Byron Jerideau, 22, was arrested and charged with Traffic / Pedestrian on controlled access highway and Disorderly / Public disorderly conduct, according to the Richland County Jail's website.
Jerideau is a redshirt junior defensive lineman from Green Pond, South Carolina.
An incident report says that an officers saw Jerideau and a group of people leave Grandma's Bar in the 700 block of Harden Street in Columbia's Five Points. The document goes on to say that Jerideau used profanity "in a loud manner" at oncoming traffic while attempting to cross midblock at Harden Street.
The report notes that crosswalks were available at nearby intersections, but they were not used.
The officer reported that Jerideau used his hands instructing oncoming traffic to stop.
When the officers approached Jerideau, the report states the player "in a loud boisterous manner" said "what, f---ing jaywalking?"
The report says a group of people were observing the incident.
The officers said he smelled alcohol, and attempted to put Jerideau in custody. When he did, the report states Jerideau said "I'm not going to f---ing jail" in a "loud manner." Jerideau was then arrested and taken to the Richland County Detention Center.
University athletics department policy is that a player is suspended if they are arrested.

1958 Buick Wagon - Wonder WagonWritten by on March 1, 1999 What's Black And Blue And Buick All Over?
Bakersfield to Boston, Pasadena to Peoria, Downey to Detroit, or wherever we went on Power Tour, people asked, "What's hot?" If you're looking for real fire-breathing dragons, try wagons-especially those produced after 1955.
Pre-'55 woody wagons have always occupied a warm spot-especially in the hearts of the surf set. When surfers got cold, their woodies literally became bonfires. By '55, veggie bodies couldn't make Detroit's cost-conscious cut. So Motown began producing ersatz woodies trimmed with plastic simulations. Still, they had room, a certain èlan, and could be factory equipped with big-block engines and accessories galore... features that weren't lost on Wheat Ridge, Colorado's Nelson and Lynne Aregood.
"We saw a series of sketches in one of the rod magazines," recalls Nelson, "and one of them was a chopped '58 Buick station wagon. It got the wheels turning, even though I was looking for a '57 Chevy. Meanwhile I was intrigued by an ad in the local paper about a '58 Buick for sale."
They bought their '58 Buford wagon at an estate sale. Complete, ready for restoration, and a wallet-happy $650 price tag were the pluses. The big minus, a badly rusted floorpan, posed no problem. Nelson and son, Brad, are good at mending metal and coating cars-in fact, they do it for a living at R-Good's Auto Works, Inc., in Wheat Ridge.
Instead of jacking with the original chassis, the bodacious Buick's body was "reinstalled" on a '74 Caprice frame. Not only does this full-perimeter unit possess the proper 122-inch wheelbase, it included a heavy-duty suspension and power-disc brakes. As a bonus, it also accepted a Block Shop-prepared, 430-inch '68 Wildcat motor and a Buick Turbo 400 prepped at Larry's Auto in Denver.
The Aregood's tin-bending and panel-pounding talents were put to the test when they decided to remove 3 inches from the wagon's greenhouse... and fill in the rear doors. Not satisfied, they also channeled the body 3 inches over the frame, swapped in a '51 DeSoto grille, replaced the door handles with those extracted from a Honda, and then finished it off with a '58 Impala windshield and dashpanel combo. As for paint, try PPG's Bright Aqua and Ebony Black.
But it's all the Montana-size space inside them that makes these wagons so unusual. Consequently, Nelson commissioned Autoweave Upholstery of Denver to fill the interior with Honda and T-bird seats, Vintage Air heating and cooling, a Clarion stereo setup, and a LeCarra steering wheel.
It took the Aregoods four years to prove a point. By using their skills and skulls, Nelson and Brad restyled a 40-year-old body and then sneaked it up on a 24-year-old chassis. They also slipped on 16-inch '96 Buick wheels, sanitized its interior, swapped in some late '60s suds, and showed the world why way-hot wagons can be big, bright, and Buick.

Angry Nigerian soldiers fire on senior officer
Published: Wednesday, May 14, 2014 at 9:29 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 14, 2014 at 9:29 p.m.
BAUCHI, Nigeria — Soldiers say angry Nigerian troops fired at a senior officer in another sign of a demoralized military supposed to be leading the hunt for nearly 300 schoolgirls kidnapped by Islamic extremists.
They say the soldiers fired Wednesday on a vehicle carrying Maj. Gen. Ahmadu Mohammed following the killings of 14 soldiers in an ambush. The soldiers killed were in a group that had told their command the road was dangerous and wanted to spend the night in a village. They were ordered to travel instead.
Soldiers who spoke on condition of anonymity because they want their jobs said soldiers opened fire as Mohammed drove into a barracks in northeast Maiduguri city to sympathize. He was not hit.
Demoralized troops is one reason Nigeria's military has failed to rescue the kidnapped girls, sparking outrage and forcing the government to accept international help in their rescue.

My vSphere environment is currently in a state of flux and I need to bring a host down temporarily (30 minutes?). My other host doesn't have the power to take over all of the duties of the first (in process of doubling my server count to fix this). Actually, I'm opening the first host to compare hardware between existing servers and new ones and to upgrade firmware and vSphere.
That said, my Zimbra environment has 2x LDAP, 2x SMTP, 2x Mailstore, 1x Proxy VMs. If I leave up the primary LDAP and an SMTP, will my environment not lose any messages? I understand that clients wouldn't be able to retrieve them if the mailstores and proxy were down. My thought was that the LDAP would still authenticate accounts and SMTP would just hold the messages until the Mailstores were back online. Due to the current setup, there would be some downtime when the VMs moved to the new host.
When the primary LDAP goes down, do the other servers automatically poll the backup LDAP? How do I test they poll it properly?

I do consulting for another company and they are using ZCS and have asked me to install the Zimbra Outlook Connector, so as I can sync emails between my laptop and desktops.
I have read the documentation regarding the connector, but it doesnt say if their is any conflict with existing accounts.
Now I know when you install Zimbra, it will create new files and will do the initial sync, BUT what it doesnt say is, will I lose access to my other mail settings.
Any help would be great

Filner blasts $40M SANDAG PR tab
In response to
San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, who now sits on the 25-member regional board called SANDAG, bushwhacked the agency's usually staid meeting on Friday demanding to know how it could be preparing to spend $40 million on outside PR.
He called it a disgrace and an embarrassment for the San Diego Association of Governments, which does transportation planning and distributes federal and state dollars for road and other projects.
Filner was reacting to U-T Watchdog's report in that morning's newspaper about the plan to line up dozens of public-relations companies with the capacity to do that amount of communications work over the next five years.
The contracts are being approved by the agency's staff, not the board, which Filner objected to.
"This is too important a decision. It's already on the front page of the paper," Filner said. "I would like this board to be involved in this decision."
How much should SANDAG spend on outside PR for the next five years?
$60 million 4% (38)
$40 million 7% (58)
$20 million 7% (64)
$5 million 22% (194)
$0 60% (537)
891 total votes.
The Watchdog was not present at Friday's meeting, but obtained a recording of it over the weekend.
"This is an awful lot of 'capacity' and I want to know who is getting those contracts, why they are getting them, what value they are, and I think this board ought to approve it before we go further — and you don't get articles like this," Filner said.
The outside PR firms would supplement the agency's 10-in house communications staffers, who work on an annual communications and marketing budget of $1.6 million.
"I open up a paper and it's pretty embarrassing to be a member of the board that's doing this," Filner said.
SANDAG has a roughly $1.3 billion annual budget that largely comes from state and federal allocations and a voter-approved county sales tax for transportation projects.
"People think that our community involvement money is really just spent on propaganda to get people and it's not community involvement," Filner added. "This is very important. And it goes to the credibility of this organization and the kind of projects that are approved and whether the public supports them or not."
Colleen Windsor, a spokeswoman for SANDAG, on Friday echoed her comments in the U-T report, telling the board, "as sure as I am sitting here breathing we will not be spending $40 million in the next five years on public outreach and public involvement."
Windsor likened the contracts for on-call marketing and communications work to empty cups.
"They all have some kind of capacity and you as a board provide us with the budget — a pitcher of water if you will — to fill up those cups as needed," she told the board. "And it's only as needed."
Filner pressed for answers to why the outside public-outreach firms were needed in addition to the agency's staff.
Windsor said SANDAG's in-house communicators are currently working on about 60 projects stretching through the planning, design and construction phases.
"We don't wait until we get 100 complaints when we are doing pile-driving on the 805 to let people know, 'Oh, I am sorry, we're in your backyard putting in express lanes on the 805,'" Windsor said. "We take a proactive stance and we start getting the community involved."
Filner said staff's comments only added "fuel to the fire."
"To say, 'I can tell you as sure as I am breathing we're not going to spend $40 million,'" Filner said. "Well, what is going to be spent, $39 million?"
Windsor told Filner there was no guarantee even $1 would be spent.
"It's no guarantee that it's not $40 million either, right?" Filner replied.
Filner suggested other board members were being evasive and ignoring his requests.

Twitter's politics and government team counted 1.1 million inauguration related tweets Monday during the ceremony compared to about 82,000 in the President's first inauguration.
Twitter reported tweets peaked when the president was pushing for including all Americans under an umbrella of more inclusive equality.
"We cannot mistake absolutism for principle...name calling as a substitute for debate," the President was saying at the highest exchange of inaugural related tweets.
Twitter reported 27,795 tweets per minute during that moment in the speech.

When I try to download the install software at a HP web site I enter the name of the printer, HP Officejet 5600, and I am offered install software for the 5605.

How do I find/download the install software for the Officejet 5600 All-in-One? Will the 5605 software work?

Serious Public "Mashing"... A True Story!
by Eric Petersen
posted Feb 15 2013 10:58AM
Ah Valentine's Day… a day to spend "appreciating" your significant other, to spoil them, to treat them to pleasures they wouldn't normally get, and to provide them with a kiss (maybe a long and passionate one) but be careful where you execute it; PLEASE!
I took my girlfriend Erika to a great, slightly upscale, restaurant that she loves for dinner, and they seated us directly in the center of the dining room. It was dimly lit and aromatic, with cool music and a funky "hipster" crowd that always makes me feel like I'm dining in larger more cosmopolitan city than Duryea, where it's located.
After we disposed of the menus and settled into a first drink, we both began scanning the crowd in an effort to get a "lay of the land" so to speak; better said: we were seeing who we would be sharing our meal space with. Most of the people there were, like us, dressed well, clean, well quaffed and looking like they were enjoying the place… but just over Erika's shoulder, seated facing out, directly in the middle of the far wall, both on the same side of the table (as if they were put there like a piece of "Human Art") was a pair that was enjoying each other, how should I say this, "perhaps a little too much"!
I'll refer to them as the "mashers".
Let me give you a visual: the "mashers" was in their mid to late fifties, trying hard to make a good appearance (failing), and drinking what appeared to be their second bottle of red wine. They had already finished their dinner, and were slowly drifting away from the desert that they were clearly no longer paying much attention to. What they were pay attention to, and way too much at that, was each other's lips!
It seemed innocent enough to see them kiss to each other during a Valentines dinner, but the first led to a longer second kiss, then came the third effort that seemed to last into the next hour… by the time I had looked up from our appetizer, they had started to offend the people at the tables on each side of them, and were drawing a concert of attention from the balance of the dining room. In what seemed like a few seconds later, I looked again; the door of the kitchen was filled with wait staff members wondering if they should change the music to something a bit more appropriate for the show that was unfolding.
The climax, so to speak, came when the completely uncomfortable rest of the wall of tables (the "mashers" still oblivious to anything) asked for their checks almost simultaneously and started departing toot sweet! The "mashers" must've caught the drift, for they too paid and left in a hurry.
I get being in love, I'm there…
I get being savagely attracted to someone, I am…
But for God's sake keep your "mashing" private… it always ends better, honestly.

WARWICK, R.I. (AP) — A Massachusetts man has been sentenced to probation after being found guilty of trespassing at singer Taylor Swift's seaside home in Rhode Island.
Daniel Cole will get a year's probation on the trespassing charge — and six months' probation on a disorderly conduct charge.
A judge has ordered the 39-year-old man to have no contact with Swift and stay away from her home.
The man was arrested at Swift's home.

WINTERSVILLE - Joe Dunlevy figured Union Local would employ a zone defense against his Indian Creek squad in Friday's Buckeye 8 contest. He was a little worried the Redskins would struggle to find their shooting touch.
Turns out the veteran coach had no need to fret.
Knocking down eight of its first 14 tries, Creek jumped on the Jets early and cruised to a 58-32 victory. With a victory, the Redskins improve to 8-2 and stay unbeaten in league play. Union Local falls to 3-5.
''Last season, we played zone against them here,'' U.L.'s Vaughn Butler said. ''We played it well and they didn't shoot it well. I don't like playing zone away from home but it was something we thought we might have success with. They shot it well and we had to get out of it.''
Things were looking pretty good for the Jets early after Jacob Bailey buried a triple to put the visitors up. In a blink of an eye, however, Creek scored 17 straight and the rout was on. Four straight points by Matt Furda finished the run and the Redskins held an 18-5 advantage after the opening stanza.
Furda (six), Frank Kamarec (five) and Alex Young (five) combined for 16 of the 18 Creek points. Kamarec, Young and Shane Winland all scored off offensive rebounds. Dunlevy's crew shot 50 percent from the floor (8 of 16) and limited Union Local to two makes on eight tries and forced six turnovers.
''We came out with a lot of energy and effort, which is what we need to do in order to put four quarters together,'' Dunlevy said. ''Hopefully we can do it again Tuesday when we go to Dover.''
Once Union Local abandoned the zone to start the second, Creek put on a ''how to'' clinic in the area of driving to the basket. Young recorded eight points and increased the Redskin lead to 20 when he went baseline, took a feed from Winland and slammed one home with two hands.
Creel buried 16 of 26 attempts and held a 36-19 halftime advantage. The hosts increased their lead to 47-28 after three. For the night, Dunlevy's crew was a 26 of 46 from the floor.
''Sometimes the mistake I make is working too much at the defensive end as we prepare for a game,'' Dunlevy admitted. ''Sometimes, we don't shoot the ball enough. We've been trying to shoot more lately.''
Four Redskins finished in double figures, Young leading the way with 17. Winland contributed 12 to go along with four assists. Kamarec had 11 and Furda 10. The winners collected 25 rebounds, Young and Winland grabbing five each.
Bailey had a terrific night for the Jets, scoring 22. Union Local shot it 35 times, knocking down just 12, five coming from behind the arc. Four of Butler's team was guilty of 21 turnovers.
''Their defensive pressure took us out of our offense and anything we tried to do,'' Butler said. ''They were better than us. I don't know if we will be better than them next time. We kind of wilted when they put on the pressure.''

protein wisdom's Democratic National Convention coverage, 13
Smoked a fatty with a clatch of Willy Nelson roadies during an early afternoon sound check, and I'm happy to report that there really are two Americas. There must be. Because weed of this quality doesn't come from any America I know of, that's for damn sure.
Off to find me some snacking chips. Or maybe a Mallow Pie. Developing…

Hi, Rae !
Hey, how did you know I'd read this post ? I'm glad you're here – and we'd better go get Bill, too, 'cause it looks like Jeff needs another one of those intervention things … and it's always around convention time, you ever notice that ? Yup, he gets a little delegate-envy, and it's right back on the drugs and the hookers again – I mean, Eleanor Clift, for cryin' out loud. He's gotta be way out there this time. I just hope we don't have to post bail again – I bet he still hasn't paid Bill back for the last time.
And I swear, if I see Jeff's lame Marlon Brando imitation one more time, Mr. 'I coulda been a delegate', I'm gonna hurl.
And he hasn't posted since…
Good old Willie Weed, always the top quality.
It is another America: Texas. Something in the dirt AND water.

One of the two teenagers injured in a Nash County wrong-way crash has been released from the hospital.
Leigh Bulluck, 17, was released from WakeMed Monday. The driver of one of the vehicles, Paige Toelke, 17, has been upgraded to fair condition. The other passenger in Toelke's vehicle, Brianna McLaughlin, 17, was killed in the July 5 crash.
Troopers say the driver who caused the crash, Germain Gomez, 34, had been drinking and taken prescriptions before driving the wrong way down U.S. 64.
A toxicology report conducted at WakeMed showed no sign of drinking among Bulluck and Toelke, though Highway Patrol has said alcohol was a factor with both drivers.
The parents of two Nash County teens who survived a deadly wrong-way accident early Tuesday morning say their children had not consumed alcohol.
The Highway Patrol said alcohol was a factor for both drivers in the crash that killed the wrong-way driver and a backseat passenger in the other car.
Troopers say 34-year-old Germain Gomez was driving westbound in the eastbound lanes of Highway 64 near Spring Hope around 2 AM Tuesday. They say he slammed into another vehicle head-on, killing Brianna McLaughlin from Rocky Mount.
Paige Toelke, the other driver, and Leigh An Bulluck are still recovering from their injuries at WakeMed.
In the statement the parents of the two 17-year-olds say there "has been misinformation reported in the media" regarding the accident. "We would like to clearly state that neither Paige nor Leigh An had alcohol in their systems at the time of the accident, as proven by the negative (0.0) blood alcohol tests administered when they arrived at the WakeMed Trauma Center."
Troopers said Wednesday that it still could be several days or possible weeks before they complete their investigation.
Wake Med says Bulluck is in fair condition while Toelke remains in serious condition at the hospital.
Previous Story
Troopers released the name of the driver who was traveling in the wrong lane of U.S. 64 and crashed head on into another car carrying three 17-year-olds.
Troopers say 34-year-old Germain Gomez was driving westbound in the eastbound lanes of Highway 64 near Spring Hope around 2 AM Tuesday. They say he slammed into another vehicle head-on, killing Brianna McLaughlin from Rocky Mount.
According to Troopers, Gomez had empty beer cans in the car and prescription drugs were also found with him. They say neither drug should have been used with alcohol.
Troopers say the medicine could cause dizziness and drowsiness - and he should not have used heavy machinery, such as a vehicle.
Gomez was staying with his mother in Raleigh but had a Virginia address. Troopers say Gomez had been a legal resident of the U.S. since 1995.
Virginia court records show the 34-year-old Gomez had numerous convictions, including two for speeding, two others for being drunk in public and another for driving on a revoked license. No record of any charges for him were found in North Carolina.
The Highway Patrol says alcohol was a factor for both drivers. The other driver, Paige Toelke of Nashville, remains at WakeMed in serious condition. Troopers say it could be several days or even weeks before they know about charges in the case because they have yet to talk to the two girls who survived the crash.
Previous Story
A 911 caller told dispatchers that a wrong-way driver on U.S. 64 was going 90 to 95 miles per hour in the wrong lane of the divided highway.
Minutes later that caller witnessed the Honda Accord hit a car with three teenager inside. The wrong-way driver and a passenger in the other car were killed.
It happened around 2:00 a.m. on U.S. 64 outside of Spring Hope. State troopers say they are notified around 1:55 a.m. that a man was driving a 1989 Honda westbound in the eastbound lanes. The wrong-way car apparently got onto U.S. 64 at the I-95 interchange and drove some 20 miles before the accident.
Two troopers tried to stop the Honda, but before they could it crashed into the other vehicle near Frazier Road. Inside were three 17-year-old girls.
The name of the 34-year-old man has not yet been released, while the girl killed in the other vehicle was Brianna McLaughlin of Rocky Mount. She was a back seat passenger in the vehicle and died at the scene. The driver, Paige Toelke of Nashville and front seat passenger Leigh Bullock of Rocky Mount were taken to WakeMed with serious injuries.
McLaughlin was a rising senior at Northern Nash High School.
Sgt. Wayne Finch III tells WITN News that McLaughlin was not wearing a seat belt and alcohol was a factor in both vehicles.
A woman also traveling west on the highway called Nash County 911 to report the wrong-way driver. She was speeding along on the other side of the highway to keep lawmen updated.
"He's probably going at least 90 to 95 miles an hour," the woman told 911. "Cars are flashing their lights. I don't know how many accidents he's almost been in. I just want to make sure that the cops to understand how fast he's going and we're already 15--we're almost 12 miles down the road from when I first called them."
Some 4-1/2 minutes later screams could be heard on the call as those in the car witnessed the deadly head-on crash. Other calls released included those from other drivers who narrowly missed hitting the oncoming car.
Friends of the family say McLaughlin will be laid to rest Saturday after a funeral mass at Our Lady Of Perpetual Help Church at 10:30 a.m. Visitation and a rosary will be held Friday night at Wheeler and Woodleaf Funeral Home in Rocky Mount.

In the United States, Ohio's power plants pollute more than all but Texas' power plants, making Ohio one of the nation's leading contributors to global warming, according to a Sept. 10 report from Environment Ohio.
"America's dirtiest power plants are the elephant in the room when it comes to global warming," said Kathryn Lee, field associate for Environment Ohio, in a statement. "If we want a cleaner, safer future for our kids, we can't afford to ignore power plants' overwhelming contribution to global warming. For Ohio, tackling the problem means cleaning up the dirtiest power plants."
Power plants are responsible for 41 percent of the United States' carbon dioxide pollution, which means they contribute more to global warming than any other source in the nation, according to the report.
"Dirty power plants produce a disproportionate share of the nation's global warming pollution — especially given the relatively small share of total electricity they produce. For example, despite producing 30 percent of all power-sector carbon dioxide emissions, the 50 dirtiest power plants only produced 16 percent of the nation's electricity in 2011," the report found.
The report narrows down the pollution problem to specific power plants and the disproportionate amount of greenhouse gases they emit: "The dirtiest power plant in the United States, Georgia Power's Plant Scherer, produced more than 21 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2011 — more than the total energy-related emissions of Maine."
The report ultimately calls on regulators to encourage alternative energy sources and curtail greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming.
Specifically, the report asks the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to meet a timeline put forth by President Barack Obama for setting strict limits and regulations on how much future and existing power plants can pollute. It also calls on all levels of government to continue setting standards and incentives that encourage clean energy.
In 2008, Ohio passed its Clean Energy Law to require and incentivize Ohio companies to pursue energy portfolios that are cleaner, more efficient and more diverse.
Environment Ohio has consistently called on state legislators to strengthen the standards, with the latest report suggesting goals that would require even more clean, renewable energy sources than Ohio currently mandates.
But even the renewable energy standards that Environment Ohio deems too weak are likely to be diminished by a proposal from State Sen. Bill Seitz (R-Cincinnati), following an aggressive lobbying effort from national conservative groups.
Seitz is a member of the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), which has teamed up with the conservative Heartland Institute to dismantle state energy regulations. The two conservative groups deny global warming is driven by human actions, even though scientists reportedly said they're 95 percent certain humans are contributing to global warming in a leaked report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Another report from Environment Ohio found Ohio's standards, which require utility companies get 12.5 percent of their energy needs from renewable sources, have spurred clean energy projects in Cincinnati and the rest of the state. In 2011, the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden used the state incentives to install solar panels in its parking lot that will generate enough electricity to meet 20 percent of the zoo's electricity needs and reduce pollution associated with global warming by 1,775 tons annually, according to the report.
Meanwhile, Cincinnati has taken its own actions.
"The city has been a leader in greenhouse gas reduction efforts since adopting the Green Cincinnati Plan in 2007," said Larry Falkin, director of the Office of Environmental Quality of the City of Cincinnati, in a statement. "We have succeeded in reducing emissions by more than 8 percent through measures including energy efficiency, renewable energy and alternative fuel vehicles. What we have learned is that if you do it right, climate protection work saves more than it costs, improves public health and improves the quality of life."
Still, some companies argue the standards impose unreasonable costs on businesses and customers. Akron-based utility company FirstEnergy previously asked for a review of Ohio's energy efficiency standards to address the concerns, but Seitz told Gongwer that the efficiency standards will remain untouched by his legislation.
Scientists have historically called for reducing global warming to 2 degrees Celsius. That wouldn't involve immediately eliminating all carbon pollution — such a goal is widely viewed as unrealistic — but it would likely require the United States and other developed countries to cut their carbon pollution by 80 to 95 percent below 1990 levels by 2050, according to the IPCC's 2007 report.
With its latest report, Environment Ohio is aiming to push the country in that direction.
A forum is planned to question Cincinnati City Council candidates on issues involving "green" building techniques, making the city more sustainable and other environmental topics.
The event, which is free and open to the public, is scheduled for 6 p.m. Oct. 12 in the rear stage area at the Northside Tavern, 4163 Hamilton Ave. Before the forum begins, a networking session with candidates will be held at 5 p.m.
Queen City Bike today sent out an email asking for help in convincing St. Bernard Service Director Phil Stegman why including a climbing lane on Mitchell Avenue between Vine Street and Reading Road is important to the area's cycling infrastructure. According to QCB, St. Bernard's engineers prefer to keep 10 feet of space for parking rather than use 8 feet for parking and include the bike lane. The city of Cincinnati, which owns half the road, needs St. Bernard to sign off on the infrastructure improvement, according to QCB.

Jonathan Zeng says he went through the school's extensive interview process, was offered a position and then called back in for a discussion about religious questions in his application, during which he was asked directly if he is gay. Zeng says he asked why such information was pertinent, and an administrator said it was school policy not to employ teachers who are gay because they work with children and something about the sanctity of marriage. When contacted by local media CHCA released the following statement:
CHCA keeps confidential all matters discussed within a candidate's interview. We're looking into this matter, although the initial information we have seen contains inaccuracies. We will not be discussing individual hiring decisions or interviews.Cincinnati's deficit isn't going to get better any time soon, according to a new report.

Senate Republicans yesterday blocked a Democratic bill calling for equal pay in the workplace, and the Dems are going to stick it in their faces during this year's campaigns. From the AP:
As expected, the pay equity bill failed along party lines, 52-47, short of the required 60-vote threshold. But for majority Democrats, passage wasn't the only point. The debate itself was aimed at putting Republicans on the defensive on yet another women's issue, this one overtly economic after a government report showing slower-than-expected job growth.
"It is incredibly disappointing that in this make-or-break moment for the middle class, Senate Republicans put partisan politics ahead of American women and their families," Obama said in a statement after the vote.
"Even Mitt Romney has refused to publicly oppose this legislation," added Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. "He should show some leadership."
The Washington Post wonders whether Mitt Romney can use Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's template for surviving a recall election to try to win the presidency. It involves "big money, powerful organization and enormous enthusiasm among his base." Exit polls in the state suggest Obama is ahead, however.

Indeed, all have prospered from the arrival of the meticulous quarterback whose work ethic generated, as coach John Fox also predicted, a lifting of all boats.
While Manning was turning what began as a season of mystery into one of magnificence, several of his teammates enjoyed breakout or bounce-back years as the Broncos (13-3) roared into the playoffs as the AFC's top seed and winners of 11 straight.
Not since Elway was leading comebacks on the football field instead of from the front office have the Broncos been the odds-on favorites to win it all.
They have Manning to thank for that.

June 2009. Forests are precious assets. They are home to much of the world's biodiversity, store vast amounts of carbon, support the livelihoods of the world's poorest people, provide fuel and building materials, protect our watersheds and offer a shield against extreme weather.
But our natural forests are being rapidly degraded. Agricultural expansion, infrastructure development, logging, climate change, fire and alien invasive species are all taking their toll. However, if we go a little deeper we often find that behind these immediate causes lie inadequate government policies that promote market failure and corruption and fail to tackle poverty.

i haven't ventured further into 3d than the calculation of 3d points in the frustrum for wireframe graphics, so i'm not sure what i'm missing to answer this on my own.
accordingly, i understand the concept of projection (apart from cartographic references, projection is the introductory topic for this 2 hour movie on visualisation of higher dimensions.. modeled in pov-ray, where i have experienced the application of height fields to spheres
i've been mulling over exactly how one would apply a height field to a sphere, and i think i must have the basic idea wrong.
being aware that points towards the upper and lower edges of a 2d height field are applied to increasingly smaller diameters, what i am visualising is the generation of standard 2d noise image, then translating this to the spherical height field by using an increasingly smaller width of pixels towards the upper and lower edges, using a sinusoidal 'lemon' shaped region of the source height field.
to reword for clarity, the output 'product' height field is sourced from a region of a temporary 'source' height field that is shaped like a lemon, with the points tangent to the top and bottom. amplitude is scaled/reduced for samples towards the top and bottom.
well.. the obvious issue with this method is that if you are using a method of interpolation using more than the immediate samples (eg. the preferred bicubic interpolation for perlin noise) you are up a very complex creek (eg. as one would have to wrap points of interpolation, requiring having to perform stages of intermediary interpolation..)
i feel certain that the predominant method must be more sensible than what i am envisioning, which seems to be lemon shaped.
(kinda long but perhaps a good introductory link for this site)
dimensions-math on youtube..
jump to 7:08 for mapping
Use a higher-dimensional noise (3D or 4D) to directly give you your height samples on the sphere (which can then be reprojected to a flat map using the projection of your choice). This technique also has no seams anywhere.
Another choice for working space is to use a square with the north and south poles at opposite corners. It isn't exactly perfect, but it's much simpler to manage if you're trying to paint onto the height field.
A popular choice is to use a set of height maps rather than a single height map. A basic cube map works well because the 6 sides can be done as individual height maps or they can be done with a single map (that loses a fair amount of space).
mr. waldronate -
i don't really want to get into this, because there is obviously a great discrepancy between our eruditions and experience, which cannot be translated in the course of a forum discussion, so no slight if you choose not to respond.
my perlin uses a base array of 256 so i can index with unsigned chars for faster bicubic interpolation.
2d requires five bicubic interpolation operations, 3d requires 21.
to create a bicubic 2048 * 1536 2d height field of 8 octaves takes my 1.6g processor about 8 seconds, which is going to take 4 times longer with 3d. in comparison, wilbur is practically instantaneous.
audio is a competitive field, so i'm fairly confident regarding the efficiency of my operations.. (my algo may have some slack in it, but i doubt a critical amount) so i see the difference as possibly due to..
using the graphics device for math, which i have no experience with yet, and may be the key factor
using a lower res/octave for editing, perhaps keeping an edit map with is applied to a higher octave render at output
(i doubt it, but possibly using a lower than screen image resolution for data)
(also doubt it, possibly using a faster interpolation technique as perhaps the artifacts aren't so obvious in 3d)
in five syllables or less, why are you awesome?
for those interested or have input that may result in a more useful product, i very much enjoy algorithmic generation, and i believe what i'm driving towards is ~a more/fully automatic world generator, with minimal parameterisation and climate, road and political mapping, none of which will be particularly refined as i'm more interested in the practice, still, it's always nice to have something that isn't completely worthless at the end.
Why am I so awesome? Practice!
Wilbur uses the basic Musgrave and Perlin code (well, slight variation, but not from a performance perspective). It stores the data as a floating-point surface and renders from there. Convenience of programming was always the important part. It's all C/C++ code, compiled with reasonable optimizations. Note that Wilbur always does a 3D noise solution rather than 2D.
(Assuming x86/x64): On any semi-modern processor, it may be faster to use native-sized variables rather than unsigned characters. Depending on your processor, floating-point multiplies may be faster than integer (but not a lot). Compiling with SSE2 (if available) may aso speed up float-based math a bit. Using OpenMP or other multi-threading library to share the work across all available cores will also help. Truncation float float to integer can eat a lot of time if you do float operations and aren't using SSE2. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2...odern-hardware has some good discussions on the subject.
My spiffy new i7-3770 calculates the 2048*1536 image (including generating displaying the lighted image) in under a second. Adjusting for number of cores, processor speed, architecture, and so on suggests that your code is in the ballpark of the Wilbur code speed.
If you want a less computationally expensive basis function that's reasonable, do an Internet search for "simplex noise".

thanks for the speed comparison. it's common to handle float to int with assembly in audio.. hosts used to include cpu meters making performance one of the most publicly criticised features (i remember metering someone's implementation and being able to discern the word length they were using for certain oscillator variables..)
expect i'll downsize my perlin array to 32^3. i was using 16 across for my lowest octave on the HF, looked okay. deliberating using floats
documenting progress as such..
"equirectangular" projection commonly used for spherical height fields in ray tracing.
mapped to 4096 by 2048.. one octave takes my 1.6g about 11 seconds..
proof of sphericality - imported to pov-ray, map_type 1
8 octaves took 60-70 seconds. should i ever release this as an app, preinstallation requirements will include a bong (which i do not have) because there's no bloody way anyone's sticking around for it to finish otherwise.
currently depending on manual editing to inhibit continents being a bunch of windy lines. considering a voronoi type process to define plates. i'd like to try an evolutionary algorithm that rotates the plates and/or produces aggregation or what have you. deliberating how involved i want to get considering the research.. fishing for a simpler solution (which could resolve to manual editing..)

HITS hits town with expanded schedule
Horse shows expected to generate more than $5 million
Published: Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at 3:52 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at 3:52 p.m.
It's back again, and this year the annual HITS horse show has expanded to nine weeks of equestrian competition, which will attract thousands of people and horses to Marion County.
If you go
What: HITS Winter Circuit horse show
When: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays, through March 17
Where: HITS Post Time Farm, 13710 U.S. 27, Ocala
Cost: $5; free 12 and younger
Contact: 620-2275 or www.hitsshows.com/ocala

The Ocala Winter Circuit opened Wednesday with a three-week schedule of unrated competitions, which give competitors an opportunity to practice and earn HITS points. The sanctioned competition kicks off Feb. 5 and runs through March 17.
"This is the biggest show we've had in Ocala yet. We added a week this year and the competition will run consecutively now," said Lindsay Yandon, a HITS spokeswoman.
This is the 32nd year for the Florida show, which has called Marion County home for more than 20 years. HITS, which stands for Horse Shows in the Sun, holds the competitions at its Post Time Farm at 13710 U.S. Highway 27.
The quiet corner of the county is transformed practically overnight into a small city of several thousand people from all across the country — and they all come with money to spend.
"It has a definite economic impact on Ocala," Yandon said.
This year, an estimated 3,500 horses, 7,500 competitors and workers, and 10,000 spectators are expected to attend the events. They will spend money on everything from hay and carrots to dry cleaning. Dining, entertainment and hotel rooms also are big expenses.
The nine-week circuit is expected to generate at least $50 million in revenue to area businesses, Yandon said.
More than $1 million in prize money will be awarded to the competitors.
Kristen Vale, who helps run the Ocala show, said Wednesday was a busier first day than in the past.
"We've found that a lot of our customers have bought property or homes in the area because it's an equestrian center and the weather is so nice," Vale said. "We saw that our customers were arriving earlier and earlier, so we recognized we could run an unrated show and have enough competitors."
The horse show is unique in that it is open to every skill level.
"You can have someone who is competing for the first time at the same venue where Olympic competitors participate," Vale said.

during our migration to zimbra (with imap) some mails where erroneously flaged as "draft". Now this mails can't be forwared or replyed (only edited, which is not what our users want).
So I have two problems to solve:
* find all messages that are tagged as draft (I can check this with for one mail with "echo "sm <user> gm -v <zimbra-msg-number>" | zmprov | grep isDraft", but are there better ways?)
* remove the draft flag from a message (can this be done with zmmailbox flagMessage?)
thanks for any hint,

Bledsoe Can't Do It Alone� [3:29 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: He will be the leader and he can make the difference, but Bledsoe won't be a one-man revolution.
Some notes on Bledsoe and the class of '02 [3:15 PM]
Olean Times Herald reports: 'Training camp is almost three months away, but it's not too early to speculate about the impact of this year's draft class.'
Part IV: Fans React to Bledsoe Trade [1:59 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: The response to the acquisition of Drew Bledsoe has been enormous, with emails pouring in to buffalobills.com by the minute. Here are a few of the latest emails received. Additional emails will be posted throughout the week.
Shout Song Was Almost History [11:44 AM]
BillsDaily reports: Bob Lamb, the tall man in the hard hat at TBD tailgates, tells the tale of almost losing the Shout Song.
Bledsoe Leaves with Homework [11:40 AM]
WIVB-TV reports: 'Even if he does not know the whole offense, it did not stop the three-time Pro Bowler from showing off his arm at the three days of workouts. He connected on numerous deep passes, and looked sharp running a system that relies less on short passes to backs than deeper crossing passes to receivers and tight ends.'
The enemy no longer [11:39 AM]
WGRZ-TV reports: 'Drew Bledsoe doesn�t make the Bills an instant Super Bowl contender. But he does accelerate the rebuilding effort by warp speed, by turning what was a glaring weakness into a positive. He also gives the Bills the legitimate �star� they�ve been missing that helps sell tickets.'
Bills Set Lineup Of TV Partners [11:31 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: WIVB will become the new preseason television partner of the Buffalo Bills and will also air �The Gregg Williams Show� Sundays at 11:30 AM.
Bills picked right Guy to help stellar front office [9:00 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"We're very fortunate right now when you look at our personnel department and what we've assembled here," he said. "It's as good as it gets."'
Offense ahead of defense in first minicamp [8:59 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"I'm excited about the start, but we have a long ways to go," said Williams. "Today was a day where lots of things started jumbling together for some of the young guys."'
Difficult to find a downside with Bledsoe deal [8:59 AM]
Business First of Buffalo reports: 'Is Bledsoe really worth a first-round draft pick next year? To the Bills he is worth more than that, as the spike in season ticket sales indicates.'
Wire electrifies Bills' staff [5:13 AM]
D and C reports: '"He just has a great feel for the game. He's a projection in our defense to play safety but he played it (free and strong) pretty well at the Senior Bowl. The bottom line is that Coy Wire is a football player."'
Bills Wrap Up Orientation Camp [3:02 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: The three-day orientation camp for rookies and first-year players concluded on Sunday morning with a two-hour workout in the field house. Overall, head coach Gregg Williams was pleased with what the young players showed on the field but he was quick to reiterate that they have a lot of work to do.
Does Drew still have it? [9:42 AM]
Buffalo News reports: The Buffalo News spoke with several football experts...Here is some of what they had to say...'
Buffett banks on Irons to succeed [9:40 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'One of Grant Irons' heroes never scored a touchdown or made a tackle in the NFL. But he is a superstar in another profession. Perhaps you've heard of investment wizard Warren Buffett.'
Coaches may determine fate of new-look Bills [9:39 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'One of the hallmarks of a successful coach is a streak of ruthlessness. Gregg Williams was plenty tough with his players a year ago, but one coaching change on a staff of 15 assistants does not qualify as ruthless.'
After last week, Bills suddenly look a lot tougher [9:38 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'The Bills still probably will be picked to finish last by most NFL followers in what is the league's toughest division. But it's a lot closer call because Drew Bledsoe gives the Bills the best quarterbacking in the division.'
Bills just couldn't pass on receiver Reed [6:12 AM]
D and C reports: '"I guess once the football's in my hands, I have that running back's mentality," he said. "A lot of receivers have the mind-set that the play's pretty much over once they catch the ball. My mind-set is that the play is just beginning. A catch for me is like a hand-off. It's like the quarterback has put the ball in your hands, now let's see what you can do with it."'
Bills have legitimate chance at playoffs [6:11 AM]
D and C reports: 'Playing in the AFC East -- a division without a dominant team -- boosts Buffalo's hopes of winning the division or winning enough division games to help earn a wild-card berth.'
Ironic twists in Bledsoe saga [6:01 AM]
Boston Globe reports: 'Tom Donahoe, general manager/president of the Bills, was the one man in the league who wanted Bledsoe. This is the same man who two years ago was 24 hours away from being the football boss of the Patriots, before Belichick got the job.'
Bledsoe could be the next Clemens [6:00 AM]
Providence Journal reports: 'The Pats didn't say Bledsoe was finished. Nor has Bledsoe, despite his disappointment, said anything bad about his former team. But actions speak louder than words, and the action should be furious when Bledsoe and Buffalo take on Brady and the Patriots come fall.'
Time will answer merit of trade [5:59 AM]
Springfield Union News reports: 'In the next couple of seasons, it will be interesting to see if the Patriots can protect that stronghold or if Bledsoe and the Bills can establish a foothold of their own.'
How tough is East? Even Bills have skills [5:58 AM]
Palm Beach Post reports: '"He's just in different surroundings, that's all," cornerback Patrick Surtain said. "He's a great quarterback, and he's got some weapons in Eric Moulds, Peerless Price and Josh Reed. That's going to make Drew that much better."'
Denney drawing comparisons to Hansen [10:38 PM]
AP reports: 'Buffalo Bills rookie Ryan Denney, because of his tall frame, the position he plays and the No. 90 jersey he's been assigned, has drawn comparisons to Phil Hansen. Whether he can play like Hansen, the Bills' 11-year, blue-collar defensive end, who retired last January, is now the question.'
Bills like Mike [10:38 PM]
CNN/SI reports: 'While the long-term plan might call for him to guard quarterback Drew Bledsoe's expensive backside, at the more important left tackle position, Buffalo wants the draft's fourth overall pick to walk before he runs. That's why until further notice he'll be on the right side, where he feels most comfortable and knows the dance.'
Coy Wire: Adjusting To The Next Level [5:07 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: A position switch isn't something new for Wire. At Stanford, Wire started seven games at running back from 1998-99, but was moved to safety in the spring of 2000 and then to linebacker in the fall of 2000. The only time he has ever stepped on the game field as a safety was during the Senior Bowl.
Back where he belongs [8:57 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"It's very valuable in the fact that he showed the young guys how important it was to start off the battle on the same foot, the same page, the same communication," Williams said. "It was fun to see that."'
Mr. Big: Williams is the incredible bulk [5:13 AM]
D and C reports: '"He looks very light on his feet, especially for a man his size. And it seems like he has a good attitude about things."'
Bledsoe right at home [5:12 AM]
D and C reports: '"You don't get a second chance to make a first impression, so that was important," said Bledsoe, who joined the Bills in a trade with the New England Patriots on Sunday.'
Is this the best trade in Bills� history? [5:11 AM]
Olean Times Herald reports: 'The better the Bills� record, the lower in the first round is the pick New England gets for Bledsoe.'
Boos or boo-hoos for Drew? [5:10 AM]
Metro West Daily News reports: '"I think he's a baby. They can let him sulk and moan (in Buffalo)," Jay Fegan of Milford, an attendant at the Mobil station on Rte. 85, said yesterday. "He didn't want to be part of the team after the Super Bowl. I have no sympathy for him. Life goes on."'

All SUNY Delhi students enrolled in A.A. and A.S. degree programs are required by the State University to complete coursework in 7 of 10 General Education subject areas, unless a program has specifically been granted a waiver by SUNY System Administration. Students enrolled in bachelor's degree programs are required to complete coursework in all 10 of the subject areas, with the same stipulation. The 10 General Education subject areas are:
Basic Communication
In addition, critical thinking and information management competencies are infused throughout the General Education curriculum.
A current list of all approved General Education Courses can be found on the SUNY Delhi Provost's Web page under "General Information for Students."
In some cases, students can satisfy part of the General Education requirement based on performance on certain standardized tests. Also, courses listed in more than one General Education subject area may be used to meet the requirement for both areas, with the exception that no course used to satisfy the Humanities category may be used to satisfy any other category. Students who fulfill two requirements with one course must still take the required minimum number of General Education credits for their program: 21 credit hours for A.A. and A.S. students, and 30 credit hours for bachelor's degree students (unless a specific program waiver has been granted).
Students in A.A. and A.S. programs who plan to transfer to a SUNY four-year school are advised to try to complete coursework in all 10 General Education subject areas before transferring. Students in A.A.S. programs also need to be aware of the General Education requirement if they plan to transfer to a SUNY four-year school, since students at all units of the State University are subject to the same requirement.
Students should consult their academic advisors for specific details of how their program meets the SUNY General Education requirement.

|Route 6 historical program attracts area car enthusiasts
|Written by April Peregoy
Approximately 50 people from surrounding areas attended the Route 6 car show and presentation at the Peerless Center on Saturday, April 25.
According to Mary Tomky, executive director of the Colorado Route 6 Heritage Tourism Association, groups of visitors from Sterling, Denver, Brush, Weldona, Colorado Springs, Aurora and Wray attended the event, as did Nebraska visitors from Big Springs, Arapahoe and Cambridge. Cheyenne, Wyo. was also represented.
Seven Model A and Model T vehicles from Sterling were on display across the street from the Peerless on Saturday. Many locals passed by just to take a look at these historical rides.
Lyle Miller of the Colorado Historical Society gave a presentation on the "Historic Gas Stations of Colorado" at the Peerless Theatre. He talked about the history and evolving architectural designs of Colorado gas stations, and then took visitors on a slideshow tour of historic gas stations that can still be found on Route 6.
One of these stations is located right here in Holyoke: the old Reimer-Smith oil station, which is now located next to the Phillips County Museum. The museum was also open Saturday afternoon for visitors.
Colorado U.S. Route 6 Heritage Corp. has been created in Holyoke to promote travel on Highway 6. The organization plans to establish a Visitor and Cultural Center as one of a series of visitor centers along Highway 6.
For more information on Colorado U.S. Route 6 Heritage Corporation, contact Mary Tomky at the Chamber of Commerce office at 854-3517.

(Sports Network) - The Boston Celtics will try to get back into the win column
and exact revenge of an earlier loss to the Milwaukee Bucks when the two teams
collide Saturday at the Bradley Center.
The Bucks posted a 99-88 triumph at Boston on Nov. 2, ending a six-game losing
streak in the series. However, Boston still has won 14 of the past 18 meetings
between the Eastern Conference inhabitants and is unbeaten in three
consecutive trips to Brew City.
Boston had a modest two-game winning streak stopped in Friday's 106-100
decision to the Atlantic Division-rival Philadelphia 76ers. Paul Pierce scored
a team-high 24 points to go with five assists and Kevin Garnett contributed 19
points and 10 rebounds.
"Well, they beat us in transition. I think it's pretty simple," Celtics coach
Doc Rivers said. "They got a lot of secondary early breaks and just beat us
down the floor and they attacked."
Rajon Rondo scored 14 points and dished out 20 assists in the setback. It was
Rondo's 29th consecutive game with 10 or more assists, which tied an NBA
record set by John Stockton. Stockton did it back in 1992.
Jason Terry scored 13 points in defeat for the Celtics. Garnett is 20 points
shy of matching Allen Iverson (24,368) for 17th on the all-time scoring list.
This marked the first regular season meeting between the teams since Boston
eliminated Philadelphia in the Eastern Conference semifinals in seven games
last season. Philadelphia held off a late Boston rally and scored 26 fast-
break points.
The Celtics are slated to visit Chicago on Monday.
Milwaukee is 3-1 on the season and will play three of their next four games in
front of the home crowd.
In Friday's 101-91 triumph over the winless Washington Wizards on the road,
Monta Ellis delivered 22 points and Brandon Jennings had 12 and seven assists
for Milwaukee, which got 13 points and nine rebounds from both Mike Dunleavy
and Larry Sanders.
"We pushed the lead up once in the second half, but gave it right back to
them," Bucks coach Scott Skiles said. "We were able to push it up again and
our bench was great tonight. We got a lot of contributions from our guys on
the bench and that was good."
The Bucks had 21 turnovers after turning it over just 10 times on Wednesday in
a loss to Memphis. Jennings could be facing a one-game suspension for getting
ejected following a shoving match with Washington's Bradley Beal.

Do you plan on having humans live on this super-earth? I ask because high-grav planets would be really hard to live on. The stress on the musculoskeletal system from weighing a lot more and the increased atmospheric pressure would make it almost impossible to breathe and to move around.

Dear all,
since upgrading from 6.0.2 to 6.0.4 the postfix header checks (to be able to keep sensible data out of mail headers) dont work anymore.
I have updated the /opt/zimbra/conf/postfix_header_checks.in with the same information as before.
that worked fine before upgrading.Code:/^X-Originating-IP.*/ IGNORE /^X-Mailer.*/ IGNORE /^X-Virus-Scanned.*/ IGNORE
Do you have any suggestions or tips to solve this problem?
