WHEELING - Wheeling Central coach Rick Magruder has a nice pair of right arms.
He unleashed both of them on Bishop Donahue to will the Maroon Knights to the West Virginia Class A Region 1, Section 1 title.
After Sarah Henry took the circle for Central on Thursday night to give the Knights a one-game lead in the title hunt, junior Madison Basinger followed up on Friday with another solid outing as she struck out 10 and tossed a three-hitter as Central defeated the Bishops 4-1 on Lisa's Field.

Wheeling Central players celebrate after winning another sectional softball title Friday.
''We mixed them up pretty good this year,'' Magruder said of the two pitchers. ''At the beginning of the year, that's what we wanted to do. Last year, I think we relied on Brittany Miller a little too much toward the end, and I think that hurt us.
''Madison pitched a heckuva game. She moved the ball around, had pretty good control.''
Henry still gave her team a helping hand. Her two-run double in the third broke open a 2-1 game for the Knights.
For Bishops coach Curt Mele, it was like deja vu.
''It was a little bit like (Thursday) night,'' he said. ''I hate to sound like a broken record, but they got some hits when they needed to. We had some baserunners, but we just couldn't seem to advance them. When we did hit the ball, we hit it hard but right to them. We just couldn't find the hole.''
Morgan Carroll, however, did find an opening in the second for the Bishops - right over Joni Zavolta's head. Carroll then rounded the bases before the ball could reach catcher Laken Visnick's glove to tie the game at 1-1.
''Morgan stepped up in the second inning with the shot over the right fielder's head,'' Mele said. ''It would have been nice to have had some baserunners on.''
The Knights broke the tie in the third as Ashley Gast doubled to score Allie Cook. Cook had an RBI double of her own in the first to start the scoring for Central.
''We had two outs,'' Mele said of the third inning.
''Allie Cook stole second and caught us, and it caught me, off guard. She got to second and the next thing you know, they get three runs after that.
''It was a tough loss. I'm very proud of my girls. I have six seniors and they're a great group of kids. I hate to see them go.
''I wish Central the best of luck. Hopefully they can bring a championship back to the northern panhandle.''
To do so, the Knights will need both of their aces in top shape.
''Sarah does a good job and might have a little better control,'' Magruder noted. ''Madison might throw a little harder, but together, it's a good combination.
''We always tell them as long as you get better by tournament time, that's what you want to do. Hopefully we'll be ready for next Thursday.''
Central will meet the winner of Cameron/Magnolia in the Regional semifinal.

How Much Does it Cost to Build This Home Plan
Before a customer makes a final decision on the right house plan or purchases blueprints, we are often asked how much it will cost to build a particular home. The experts at The House Plan Shop understand this is an important factor in making a final decision, as customers want to be sure they can afford to build the house of their dreams without going over budget. However, we know the costs for materials and labor vary greatly from one state to the next and sometimes even within the same city, making it impossible for us to provide an estimate for one of our house plans in any specified location. We can't possibly know all the going rates for materials and labor all across the US and Canada. So, how can you get an estimated cost to build your desired home plan? We recommend checking with a few local builders or lumberyards. If you opt to check with builders, you can look in the phonebook, online or check with other family members and friends who have built a home in the past. Builders and the professionals at lumberyards deal with construction and materials costs on a daily basis and know the going rates for materials and labor in your particular area. Just ask for an estimated cost to build. Often, these professionals will quote a dollar amount per square foot. Be sure to ask what this quote includes as sometimes it will not include the heating and cooling system, foundation materials and a few other things. Checking locally is the best way to get an estimated cost to build for any of our house plans. We know it is a little more leg work for you, but, the estimate you obtain locally will be more accurate than any estimate we could provide because our estimate would be a guess.

Hi THe Dodge. Rivers (in most of cases) used to start in moutains and flow down towards oceans which isn't the case of a lot of them on your map it seems. At least it doesn"t appears clearly on it.
Hello everyone. I hope that you are all well.
So, I've been working on a map for my about a year-and-a-half or so and I am very nearly finished (with the design anyway. I have negligible skills with the GIMP or Photoshop...so I'm kind of at a sticking point as far as the actual quality of the map is concerned.)
My greatest remaining issue is the fact that it has been brought to my attention (by noted Guild Member Sapiento) that several of my rivers were placed erroneously.
Determined to solve the issue myself, I read over Redrobes' tutorial on river placement (http://www.cartographersguild.com/tu...ght-place.html) and promptly realized that I couldn't for the life of me see where the problems were on my map. I just can't seem to actually process the information in the tutorial, though it seems easy enough.
So, fellow guildmembers, I have attached two versions of my map below, one with the rivers and one without. I would appreciate it greatly if you could all point out to me any errors that I have made. If I can have nothing else in my map...I at least want my rivers to be in the right spot!
Thanks to you all in advance. I would be greatly appreciative of any help.
The Full Map
The Map with all Rivers Removed
Hi THe Dodge. Rivers (in most of cases) used to start in moutains and flow down towards oceans which isn't the case of a lot of them on your map it seems. At least it doesn"t appears clearly on it.
What is the scale of the map (that is, how big are some of the prominent features)? The amount of land area visible will have a big impact on the number and size of rivers that you have.
Also, you have a lot of mountains, suggesting that this map covers a large area. The more mountain ranges between the sea and a land area, the less rainfall will make it to the area; this lack of rainfall usually translates to a reduced number of rivers in an area.
http://www.cartographersguild.com/tu...ght-place.html is the popular discussion area for this topic. Try reading through that and see if it makes sense.
There is really only one rule for rivers, though: water flow downhill until it evaporates, until it sinks into the ground, or until it pools into a pond, lake, or sea. Everything else is derived from that one rule (and the context in which the water is doing the flowing, of course).
Thanks for the replies.
Max: Are my rivers having problems concerning their end or their origin? I tried to have most of them spring from mountains...though I'm not sure if I was successful even in that regard.
Waldronate:Thanks for the tips! As I said in the OP, I read 'How to Get Your Rivers in the Right Place', but it didn't help me much. Partly because I have no idea how to make a terrain height map like he did. I lack artistic ability or even a basic grasp of GIMP or PS skills...would you have any idea how to reproduce his effects in Paint.net or GIMP?
Thanks again to both of you!
Well Im not an expert but for example : the 2 group of rivers in the southern area, above the big peninsula seems weird like they start and end in mountains. Maybe having more terrain geography besides mountains and rivers will help a bit...
Redrobes' info is great, but if you're not getting it from the tutorial, let me try some different words. First off, is maybe a component of your troubles an inability to imagine 3-d views in your mind's eye? If you can, that makes imagining which way is downhill easier. If not, you'll have to use more rules of thumb and generalizations.
Some of those rules:
Figure almost every stream is going to wind up as a river entering the sea. Imagine some of those little short riverlets you show as looking around for "a way further down". If there truly is no lower land nearby, well that water and all his friends are going to hang around and party - call that a lake - until the crowd gets so big that the outer edge gets above the rim of the local lowland, and starts to flow again.
Yup, there are streams that disappear, either by ducking underground and continuing to flow, or by fizzling out into an arid wasteland. Those are pretty rare special cases, so for believability's sake avoid them unless a specific story line calls for them.
Another good general rule- rivers don't split. They join. At the scale of continental map you have, it'll be a rare case for there to even be a brief divergence visible that you'd call an island; any such multipath watercourses - termed threaded streams- are going to be within the width of the line you use to show a river. You definitely don't see such splits as your westernmost river, where you show two widely divergent ways to the sea. Using that particular river I can illustrate another placement generality -- that inlet is there because it's lower than the two peninsulas that you have water running along the length of. Figure the peninsulas must be ridges, at least generally. So you would expect water to "fall off to the side" of both of them instead of running the long way down the middle. Which is incidentally why someone asked you about scale - if those are about the size of the whole Spain + Portugal peninsula, okay, I'll buy there being enough room for slightly higher land on the north and south edges, "channeling" the water out toward the tip. If the scale is more like those are ten miles across or even a hundred, my instincts are to not buy it. Viewers don't do all this analysis, they just instinctively feel something is right or isn't. Some of course being clueless, some having a vague discomfort, and some experiencing the same sensation as fingernails on a chalkboard. I'm in the latter camp. That's because I do have a bit of a 3D picture even just based on your coastline, so those two river courses west of the split look to me like they're literally running along ridgetops.
The smaller one just south of that major divergence also shouldn't split, but I'll use it to illustrate another generality: water insisting on flowing downhill means you'll never see it flowing *across* a hill. Now if your scale is small enough ("smaller scale equals bigger area shown" is a mnemonic) there could be a valley across the foothills of that range. But the generality would be for us to expect the overall slope at any point to be away from the pictured mountains straight toward the nearest coast. So if you need a river to skirt that range just so, you want to indicate foothills or something to push water back toward the steep mountains.
So here I am blathering about all these landform shapes I "see", even though all you drew were the highest mountains. How? And how can you learn to see it? At the most basic, you've depicted highest and flattest. You know how to see topography shapes based on contours? Can you? Even without a crazy-intricate set of contour lines, look at a map with a well-defined set of (plausible) rivers. That net of lines indicates all the locally-lowest spots. The blanks *between* the river lines show a set of ridges. On steep terrain, sharp ridges. In flatter terrain, low mounds or barely-discern able rolling swells.
Further clues to the land can be inferred from how tightly packed the lines of the river net are. Sparse looks a little flatter and/or drier. Since you're making this world, you can decide how small of a stream you'll show. Continental maps won't depict down to inch-wide rivulets. Rather you might stick to only the parts of various branches that are navigable... Whether by rowboat or by steamboat or by supertanker is up to you. Face it, way up in the mountains all the streams will be pretty small. At most sketch a few of those in - maybe just the ones watering settlements or defining borders.
Rivers don't typically just flow *into* mountains. But they might pass *through* mountains or other high land. Maybe a pass or a water gap or a canyon permits a low enough passage for flow.
Deltas: a special case, against the no-dividing generality. See, the land part of a delta is pretty much flat as flat can be, as is the water in all the confused tangle of passages. As a teeny bit more sediment is dropped *here* this channel becomes temporarily higher, and more water flows over *there*. Which erodes this bank, curves that meander more, cuts off yonder passage entirely, and bang! New Orleans is no longer a major port. Or would not be, betimes, if the lower Mississippi were left alone. Dredges and dikes fight the current, and put water where mankind wants it- till the next flood, when the river asserts itself and human commerce stages a strategic withdrawal.
Don't think of a delta as what some rivers do before they reach a coast. Instead think of them as what can happen after river water *passes* a coast (lake too, not just ocean). Restricted flow spreads out when the banks are left behind, slows, and drops megatons of sediment. So unless a river lets out into a bay (certainly does happen), figure a delta as sticking outward, not extending ashore.
A river could do a similar thing as it reaches a dry lakebed; spreading out into multiple threads and dropping sediment. That's an alluvial fan - small-scale seen at the base of any steepish mountain. Large-scale you could see such at the edge of a desert (death of a river, a bit rare), or (with water flow continuing on through) any well-watered transition from steep to flat.
Say a river rushes down out of the mountains and hills, and fins itself traversing flat terrain. The flatness could be the river's own fault, after it filled in some steeper sided valley with sediment over the years. In flatter surroundings is when a river will tend to meander. Mind you, headwaters can be crooked, being at the mercy of however valleys intersect. But on the plains or in broad river valleys one year *this* way is temporarily "most down" (maybe by a matter of inches of altitude) and a couple of years later sedimentation and the erosion of banks makes *that* way a little lower. Thus the smooth loops and elbows of the lower Mississippi (and Amazon, and Rhine, and Yangtze...). Draw a river doing that, and you've shown me the land is flat.
Tributaries will be missing if the land a river passes through is dry (see the lower Nile). Lots of rain, then more tributaries - but you needn't show the thick nets you do in some way-upstream headwaters.
Where will there be more or less rain? Oooooh, big subject. A whole series of college courses in fact. A browser and a curious mind will garner enough generalities to achieve decent plausibility though. Think of humidity as being scraped off of passing air masses when crossing mountains. Thus Middles of big continents tend to be drier. By air movement, here we mean prevailing winds, thus you can get wet seasons and dry ones as summer and winter shift all the general highs and lows around. If you don't want to get too detailed, just claim your prevailing winds are like thus-and-so, and written the areas upwind of mountain ranges, and dry out the downwind "rain shadows". All other things being equal, coastal land will be at least somewhat damp - the N African coast and the Namib and Atacama deserts being exceptions based on wind patterns.
Literally ran out of battery on my phone there:-). If those thoughts don't give you ideas on bettering your existing river routes, holler and I'll comment on more specific ones.
Thanks for the comments Jbgibson. There's some excellent advice here. I'm going to take a stab at reworking the rivers with that in mind and I'll post the results here for your opinions. Stay tuned
Thanks again everyone. It's advice like this that inspired me to join this forum.

1952 Chevy Bel Air - Time TripWritten by Eric Geisert on March 1, 2009 Larry Bennett's '52 Chevy Bel Air
In 1954, at the age of 10, Larry Bennett and his best friend Mike Brown started building and customizing model cars. They got their custom ideas from car magazines and, when they were a little older, got their driver's license and started cruising Front Street in Mankato, Minnesota, looking for girls or a drag race. Three miles out of town they had a stretch of blacktop that was marked for a quarter-mile, and friends with C.B. radios would be on the lookout for the Highway Patrol (they never got caught).
By 1959 Larry was a freshman in high school and had found a seven-year-old, baby blue, 1952 Chevrolet Bel Air two-door hardtop that had only 42,000 miles on it. Though it was in perfect condition, Larry didn't think he could afford it. It was at the local Chevrolet dealership and had just been traded in on a new 1959 Chevrolet Impala two-door hardtop. The price was $300, and Larry had to borrow the cash from his grandmother with the agreement that he would repay her by repainting her three-story house that summer. He drove the car throughout his high school years, lowering it and adding some speed equipment along the way.
Fast-forward 39 years, and Larry would find himself looking for another hardtop like the one he once had. But it wasn't like he'd gone without a hot rod-he did still own the '37 Chevy two-door sedan he'd built in 1994-but he'd always kept thinking about that Chevy hardtop.
After hearing about a 1950 Chevy hardtop (which he felt was pretty similar to the '52) that had come out of Montana and was currently for sale in Superior, Wisconsin, he decided to look into it. It had been taken apart, a Mustang frontend and a Ford nine-inch installed, and some bodywork done, but the owner had lost interest in it.
Larry called the owner and, through emailing pictures back and forth and talking on the phone, they agreed on a price of $5,300. Larry rented a trailer, drove to Superior (about 250 miles) and brought it back to his home in North Mankato, Minnesota, to become his next project.
Bennett set up a time table for the project of less than two years but, as they always seem to do, it took a little bit longer than that! Everyone has heard how to budget time and money for a project, then multiply those numbers by three and then you get what you'll really have to pay. But Larry extended that theory to encompass working with various body shops, eventually using three of them to get what he wanted done correctly.
The first shop he took his car to removed the body so Larry could take the frame home to his two-car garage to build the rolling chassis. He comments "I always tell everyone that I only have half a garage because my wife wouldn't give up her half. I have carpeting on my half and the garage is heated. The winters are cold in Minnesota, you know!"
He had the frame sandblasted and painted, then built a 406 Chevy small-block while his friend Ron Krieger from Blue Earth, Minnesota, built a 700-R4 transmission for him. Larry installed the engine/trans in the frame, plumbed the brakes, fuel lines and finished the rolling chassis. "I was anxious to see what the engine was like with the open headers. I fired it up and it sounded great, especially with the 292 Comp Cam in it! It had a nice lope to it." After a few revs Larry's wife, Maggie, came out into the garage waving her arms trying to get his attention because the china in the kitchen cupboards were rattling so badly she thought they'd break!
After two years in the first body shop they had completed the dash and done some bodywork. Disappointed in the slow pace, Larry pulled his car and took it another shop, where it stayed for another year and a half before the body shop owner called and said it was ready to paint. After looking at it, Larry could tell that it was nowhere near ready, as the gaps were all wrong and it needed more block sanding. Finally, he took it to Denny Wanous from L& D Body Shop in Mankato.
Denny knew exactly what needed to be done and, in six months, the body was painted and mounted back on the frame. It was now Fall, 2002, and Larry was ready to put the rest of the car back together. He used stainless steel bolts throughout, then added the front fenders, hood, and grille before wiring it (paying close attention to detail by hiding all the wires in the engine compartment).
New glass went in, as did the remote door and trunk locks, one-piece California bumpers, steering column and brake assembly from a 1967 Pontiac GTO, a Corvette master cylinder, seven-inch brake booster, a Pioneer sound system, seats from a 2002 Buick Regal GS, and American Racing Torq-Thrust II wheels.
He then drove it to Todd Wolter's Upholstery Shop in Lake Crystal who stitched up the seats with Ultra Leather. Larry has always liked flamed cars but felt they wouldn't look good on a red car, so he told Todd to add hot licks on the door panels, in the rear window deck, and throughout the trunk.
That winter, Larry polished all the stainless trim for the car in his garage. "A shop had quoted me $2,100, so I figured, how hard could it be? I purchased a buffing wheel and some sticks of polish. What I soon learned was there was a definite learning curve in regards to polishing. I not only learned how to pound out dents that were already in the stainless, but also the additional ones that were made from it flying across the garage after the polishing wheel grabbed it out of my hands!"
By the summer of 2003 the upholstery was done, and Larry was trying to finish the car so he could get to a few car shows. In 2004, Larry went to as many shows as he could, and logged over 6,000 miles in his '50 in the first year (he's since racked up more than 19,000). His car also won the Minnesota Street Rod Association's Custom of the Year in 2004 and, at the Goodguys Great Lakes Nationals in Waukasha, Gary Meadors personally picked it as the "Goodguys Pick."
Most folks would be satisfied with getting a car to that level, but Larry, being a true hot rodder, wanted to improve on what he already had. So, in October, 2006, he decided to make an engine change. It all started when a friend let him drive his Corvette with a LS1 engine. He loved the engine's throttle response and power, and he figured he just had to have one. He soon purchased an LS1 and 4L60E transmission and had them sitting on his garage floor, ready to go in the '50. Larry, with his friend Gary Warmington, used Gary's new garage (because it had a hoist to do the engine swap) to do the work. Everyone told Larry that he was crazy to do the swap when the 406 small-block and 700-R4 was such a great combination. But he did it anyway, and the miles-per-gallon went from 15 to 24! "I think a lot of people are afraid to try a project using a computerized engine," he says, "but using Street & Performance's wiring harness it makes it easier. Not that we didn't have problems along the way. We got everything installed and tried to start the engine. It would run for two seconds and quit. I called Street & Performance and they told me it was the VATS. I didn't know what that was so they explained it was the Vehicle Anti-Theft System and I needed to have the computer reprogrammed to take that out. The computer thought I was trying to steal it! I sent it to Street & Performance and they also chipped it to get another 20 more horses out of it. The '50 drives, performs, and rides great!"
And Larry's car is definitely driven! He puts a bra on the front of the car and goes anywhere and everywhere (Editor's note: When Street Rodder took pictures of his car at the Goodguys Nationals in Columbus, Ohio, last year, he and his wife had driven it from Minnesota, part of the 1,890-mile round trip).
Larry's original time table on the build was less than two years but it ended up taking more than five. But now when he thinks back to his high school days and that '52 hardtop, it's just a memory, because what he has parked in his garage now is that car plus so much more.

text: By Pastor Vince CarrigSports Writer Quinton Hite's steal of Hershey guard Josh Connell's dribble and long outlet to Elliot Carlson sealed a 44-38 win in which Hite starred as his Perkins County team laid claim to third place in the South Platte Valley Association tournament Saturday night at North Platte Community College's McDonnell-Belton gymnasium. The senior point guard Hite led all scorers with 19 points with some coming in spectacular fashion. Josh Margritz' three pointer with 3:15 left cut the Plainsmen lead to 39-32, sparking hope that the Panthers could erase all of Perkins County's 16-point lead with which the winners entered the fourth quarter. Hite's steal and pair of free throws in the final minute kept Hershey from cutting the lead to any fewer than four points. The Panthers got their money's worth in mugging Alex Johnston twice, Caleb Brezeale, Blake Poppe and Elliot Carlson in the third quarter, but the Plainsmen told Hershey to "keep the change" as 6-of-8 from the line gave Perkins County a 39-23 lead. Dylan Johnson's hanging scoop layup gave Hershey hope at 28-21 2:40 after halftime, but Hite neutralized that by taking guard Colton Marshall's dribble from center court to the rack for a 30-21 Perkins County advantage. Hite's two launches from behind the yellow (college) three point line swelled the Plainsmen's lead to 24-11. Hite also scooped in a layup from waist-level after stutter-stepping into the lane and then exploding to the basket. A dial-up from long distance by Carlson and Johnston's power push from the left block left the Plainsmen in good shape at halftime with a 25-13 lead. The sophomore forward Margritz's two close baskets strung together the shortest of runs for Hershey, paring the Plainsmen's second quarter lead to 21-11. Hite and Carlson both reached from three-point land, and Hite eluded Panthers to count a left-handed layup after traversing the baseline for a 12-5 Plainsmen lead after one quarter of play. Both teams probed one another's defenses and missed a gym locker full of shots in a first quarter that the Plainsmen ended on a 10-1 run.

Hi all, first of all i would like to ask you bear with me. I know this question has been asked 1000's of times but still i cannot seem to sole my problem Also the fact that im new to linux does not help me either.
I am trying to install ZCS 6.08 on Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS with changing results. When i first tried to install it locally it worked but ever since we plugged the server into the dmz environment i have not even been able to reach the webaccess. In our situation we have a local dns server so there is no need to set up the zimbra server as a DNS.
Due to me being completly new to Linux i have a hard time to determine where the problem could lie so ill provide you with my config files i think matter:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 zimbraserver.localdomain.dmz zimbraserver
192.168.200.30 zimbraserver.localdomain.dmz zimbraserver
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
Because i installed zimbra earlier befor the dmz i usedsearch localdomain.dmz
nameserver local.dns.server.ip
su - zimbra
/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsetservername -n
to change the servername to both localdomain.dmz and externaldomain.nl. However, i still am not able to reach my zimbra server. Which one should it be? should the hostname be my forwarded publichostname.publicdomain.nl ? or my hostname.localdomain.dmz??
It should also be noted that my zmcontrol status also tells me that the logger service is not started and that the ldap services states that it cannot find the ldap service and will use a caches version.
I am able to ping my server on both its external domain as on its local domain but i cannot reach the webaccess via http://local-ip and neither by http://exeternaldomain.nl or http://localdomain.dmz
What could this be? I am also pretty sure that the port 80 is forwarded to the server.
One final note is that we have not set our MX record yet, because we already have an MX record set to this domain that we are still using so we still need to configure it correctly but we figured that it might be a good way to test the webaccess and admin portal.

May 5th saw the preview of the Festival International des Sports Extrêmes (FISE) at the Odysseum Montpellier, France. All the best PRO riders across inline, bmx and skateboarding got together to show everyone exactly why what they do is called extreme sport!
As with any big event, Superdry were there to kit out the the best of the best, which included BMX'er Daniel Wedemeijer, inline skater, Romain Godenaire and freestyle rider Jérôme Vormbrock.
Each athlete pulled out their best tricks and had the crowd pumped while Djette Elise had them up on their feet all day long. Once the dust had settled all riders, skaters and spectators were invited into the Superdry store to see the latest items to drop from our Spring Summer 2012 range.
If this was just a preview, we can't wait to see what's in store when the FISE finals kick off on the 16th May!

Clinching a Dream
Last night, the Washington Nationals did what was unthinkable just less than a handful of years ago. They clinched one of the toughest divisions in baseball.
Upon winning the National League East, the Nats officially dethroned the reigning five-time division champion Philadelphia Phillies. Despite the 2-0 victory for the rivals who reside two hours up I-95, a changing of the guard managed to take place in their presence.
At 96-64, winning the NL East pennant is a culmination of years of last-place finishes (five of eight since moving to D.C. to be exact) and a lack of a support system from Major League Baseball when ownership as well as major league and minor league talent were absent.
For D.C. baseball fans, this title was 79 years in the making, with the last pennant coming before World War II. The success of this miraculous 2012 team will not only transition fans from an older era recalling the days of the Senators but will introduce proper baseball to a newer generation.
Just for fun, here is video of Gio Gonzalez calling Nats owner Mark Lerner "The Pimp With the Limp." Imagine Robert Griffin III calling Dan Snyder by that name.

Wish I could afford one. But since I can't, & we are being critical, I was a little disappointed with the Gas Tank. I remember the original Continental had a red tank. The new Shape is OK, but STEEL? I have been seeing a beautiful Aluminum alloy tank offered by Enfield for the "Continental Café kit" for some years, & wonder why they aren't putting IT on the NEW CONTINENTAL? Also sorry to hear shocks Shocks & Rear Sets look cheaper on the production model. I think when you build a new machine & sell it at a premium price, excellence should be the goal, & thorough product testing would occur. A shame to spend that amount on an Unsorted bike, Maybe it's good I can't afford it.

Cyclone Notebook
- ISU (15-3, 3-3) faces another tough road test at No. 6 Kansas (15-4, 6-0) Wednesday evening. The Cyclones are in search of their first win at Allen Fieldhouse since 2005.
- The Cyclones are ranked No. 16 in The Associated Press poll and No. 18 in the USA Today Poll.
- Iowa State is in the middle of a grueling stretch that features four-straight games against nationally ranked opponents. The Cyclones, who won the first of those games by defeating Kansas State Saturday, will face four ranked programs in a row for just the fifth time in school history (57-58, 94-95, 02-03, 10-11, 13-14).
- Iowa State is one of just four schools nationally with three players averaging at least 15 ppg. The Cyclones have had five different players tally 20+ points in a game this season.
- Melvin Ejim leads all Big 12 players averaging 17.9 points per game. The last Cyclone to lead the conference in scoring was Marcus Fizer (1999, 2000). Ejim, who is shooting 51.5 percent from the field, has been in double figures in all 16 games since his return (20 straight games overall dating back to last season), including seven games with 20+ points. The senior has posted double-doubles in five games.
- DeAndre Kane, who is on the Wooden Award Midseason Top 25, ranks among the Big 12's top-11 in scoring, rebounding, assists and steals. He has scored 20+ in three of the last five games.
- After struggling against Kansas in the first meeting, Georges Niang has hit 13-of-25 (52.0) shots from the field and 8-of-13 (61.5) from behind the arc. As a team, ISU has hit 20-of-50 (40 percent) of its 3-point shots since going 4-of-25 vs. the Jayhawks.
- Iowa State is leading the Big 12 in scoring at 84.8 points per game. The Cyclones share and protect the ball as well as anyone in the country, dishing out 18.2 assists (1st in Big 12, 2nd in nation) and posting a 1.75 assist/turnover ratio (1st in Big 12, 2nd in nation).
- Freshman Monté Morris has seen his playing time increase as the season has progressed. Morris is averaging 27.3 minutes per game after logging 20.3 minutes per game in nonconference play. He leads all players with a 9.5 assist/turnover ratio in conference play with 19 assists and two turnovers. Of the top-14 in the league in that category, only one other player has less than 10 turnovers (KSU's Jevon Thomas, eight TOs).
- Matt Thomas hit 4-of-6 threes against Kansas State, tying a career high.
Series Notes vs. Kansas
- Kansas leads the all-time series against Iowa State at 175-59 and has an 89-15 advantage over the Cyclones in games played in Lawrence.
- ISU's last win at Lawrence was a 63-61 overtime victory over No. 2 Kansas on Feb. 19, 2005.
- KU has only lost nine times at home to Big 12 teams since the league was formed in 1996-97. ISU is responsible for three of those defeats (2000, 2001, 2005).
- KU had won 13-straight games in the series until the Cyclones defeated the fifth-ranked Jayhawks in the last meeting, 72-64 in Ames on Jan. 28, 2012.
It was ISU head coach Fred Hoiberg's first win over a ranked opponent as the Cyclone mentor.
- Kansas took advantage of cold-shooting night by the Cyclones to win 77-70 in the first meeting between the teams this season. The Cyclones shot just 31.4 from the field, including 4-of-25 shooting behind the arc, in the loss. DeAndre Kane led the Cyclones with 21 points, while Naadir Tharpe had a game-high 23 points for the Jayhawks. ISU forced 24 KU turnovers.
- Ejim is averaging 12.6 points and 7.9 rebounds in eight career games vs. KU. In four meetings with KU, Georges Niang is averaging 14.5 points.
- Ejim and Tharpe were teammates at Brewster Academy in New Hampshire (2009-10). Niang and KU's Wayne Selden, Jr. both attended Tilton School in New Hampshire.
- Hoiberg averaged 17.4 points and 6.1 rebounds in nine games vs. KU in his Cyclone career (1992-95), going 4-5 vs. KU as a player.
- Hoiberg is 1-7 vs. KU as a head coach, owning a 5-8 overall record against the Jayhawks as a player and coach.
- One of Hoiberg's best games came against Kansas on Jan. 14, 1995. Hoiberg scored 32 points, including 17-straight Cyclone points in the second half, to help the Cyclones defeat No. 3 Kansas, 69-65. Hoiberg was 6-of-12 from 3-point range in the game.
Ejim Closing On Rebounding Milestone
- Melvin Ejim is just 18 rebounds shy of 900 in his career. Ejim would be just the 11th player in Big 12 history to grab 900 career rebounds.

NAMI Urges Support for Bipartisan Commission on the Future of Medicaid
February 18, 2005
A bipartisan coalition led by Gordon Smith (R-OR) and Jeff Bingaman (D- NM) and Representative Heather Wilson (R-NM) and Donna Christensen have introduced legislation (S 338 & HR 985) to create a bipartisan commission on the future of the Medicaid program. This bill calls for the design of a commission of experts who will evaluate Medicaid and recommend efficiencies before funding cuts or changes to the program are made. In NAMI's view, it is critically important for policymakers at both the state and federal level to make needed improvements and maintain Medicaid's role as a critical safety net for the most vulnerable citizens. A Commission will help ensure that efforts to restrain the growth of the program are driven by agreed upon policy objectives, rather than arbitrary assumptions regarding budget cuts.
Specifically, the bill calls for the creation of a panel of 23 appointed experts who will promote methods of Medicaid improvement via public meetings. This bill comes on the heels of President Bush's proposal to decrease Medicaid funds by approximately $60 billion across the next ten years, through a number of methods, including reduced reimbursements for prescription drugs. NAMI is supporting this legislation as a means of ensuring efforts to reform Medicaid be based on sound policy grounds, rather than simply to cut the program by an arbitrary amount.

A bill that passed the Mississippi Senate could reduce the cost for the general public to get copies of government documents.
Senate Bill 2066 says requests for public records must be handled by the lowest-paid government employee who is qualified to do so.
The proposed change is intended to stop agencies from using attorneys or other high-paid employees to pull and copy records such as budget documents or minutes of city council meetings.
Senators removed parts of the bill that said governments would have to make public records available in electronic format.
Democratic Sen. Hob Bryan of Amory led the effort to remove that requirement, saying he doesn't want to force local governments to buy additional computer equipment or programs. The bill moves to the House.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Beginning a sharp pushback against any new gun regulations, the National Rifle Association has posted a Web video that labels President Barack Obama an "elitist hypocrite" for allowing his daughters to be protected by armed Secret Service agents while not embracing armed guards for schools.
A narrator asks in the video: "Are the president's kids more important than yours?"
The spot, posted even before Obama unveiled his gun policy proposals on Wednesday, has drawn an indignant response from the White House. White House press secretary Jay Carney says the ad is "repugnant and cowardly."
The group's confrontational video bears the hallmarks of a conventional political attack ad, using grainy, unflattering visuals of Obama, a grim-sounding narrator and ominous music.

|Letter carriers' food drive set for May 11
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Letter carriers care about the people in the communities they serve, and for the past 20 years on the second Saturday of May, they have done a lot more than collect and deliver mail. They have picked up non-perishable food donations left at mailboxes as they visit every home in the nation.
Hunger and undernutrition in America are much more serious problems than most people realize. With current economic conditions and high food prices, more families than ever struggle to keep food on the table. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's annual study measuring food security in the United States, the number of Americans living in food-insecure homes is more than 50 million, with approximately one in every three food-insecure Americans being a child (17.2 million).
Through a lot of hard work, dedication and compassion, and the support of customers in the communities they serve, letter carriers collected over 70 million pounds of food last year, the ninth consecutive drive surpassing 70 million pounds collected. The total donations received since the drive began in 1993 now stands at nearly 1.2 billion pounds of food. Letter carriers are counting on the public's generosity once again to help feed the hungry this year.
This year will be the 21st Annual National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) Food Drive, the largest one-day food drive in the USA.
The U.S. Postal Service and the National Rural Letter Carriers Association join NALC as official sponsors in this effort to "Stamp Out Hunger." Other sponsors include Campbell Soup Company, Feeding America, Valpak, AFL-CIO and United Way of America.
It is a very simple and easy concept: the public is asked to leave non-perishable food in a sturdy bag by their mailbox on Saturday, May 11. That food will be collected by letter carriers and distributed to local charities that provide it to people who need it right in the community.
Join the letter carriers Saturday, May 11 in their cause to stamp out hunger by donating.
For more information, contact Connie Troutman at 854-3100.

(The Cardinal Nation Show) -- The
Cardinals will go with recent history rather than the more distant past
when they send Kyle Lohse to the mound Friday night at Atlanta against
the Braves in the first wild-card play-in game.
Lohse never has won a postseason game in
nine appearances, four of them starts, and is 0-4 with a 5.54 ERA. One
of his worst games of this season came at Atlanta on May 30, when he
gave up five runs in five innings to the Braves in a 10-7 loss.
But Lohse finished the season with a 16-3
record, the best percentage (.842) of any major league starter, and
manager Mike Matheny rewarded him with the start.
"It feels real good to know they trust you
enough to pitch in a one-game playoff. That's something you dream about
as a kid," said Lohse, 33, who almost surely will be leaving as a free
Never regarded as a No. 1 starter before in his career, Lohse said he wasn't going to try to sway anybody's judgment now.
"I'm not going to try to tout myself," he
said. "I'm not saying, 'Hey, look at my numbers. I should be looked at
as something different.'
"It's not up to me to validate myself. People can think what they want. I don't really care."
Matheny, however, looks at Lohse as "a Cy
Young (award) candidate, a guy who's been as consistent as you could
ever ask any starter to be."
The Cardinals lost five of six games to
the Braves this year and don't have strong left-handed answers to a
Braves lineup that features four left-handed-hitting regulars and
switch-hitting Chipper Jones.

While 50 Cent is hardly a stranger to beef, perhaps his most surprising feud in recent history involves his former friend and TMT Promotions partner Floyd Mayweather. Now, in a recent interview with Power 106 FM, Fif reveals the origins of his beef with the famed boxer.
According to Fif, the feud began over a $2 million debt Mayweather owes to Fiddy for starting their TMT Promotions company prior to Mayweather's recent prison sentence. Fif explained that after his release from jail, Mayweather neglected his debt to the rapper and instead spent his fortune on jewelry and cars. Eventually, tensions boiled over and Mayweather lashed out at the rapper on Twitter at the behest of his entourage.
"[Mayweather] changed his mind…as he was actually going in to jail, he asked me to help him with Mayweather Promotions," Fif recalled. "As he actually got in and I took a look, I realized there is no Mayweather Promotions: there's no LLC, there's no seals, there's no 'incorporated'…technically, Floyd is a Golden Boy fighter [for Oscar De La Hoya's promotion firm]. He fights on every Golden Boy card, they do all the footwork…so when he says, 'Help me with Mayweather Promotions,' and it's not there, I go, 'Okay, I know what he means: he wants me to put it together for him.' So I do TMT Promotions, I get it all the way together…he comes home, and there's the, 'Let's get Floyd back in pocket' campaign that goes on, where there's $300,000 chains being bought and buying him the new Lambourghini…and I'm sitting there going, 'When are you going to give me the money?'…It's about [$2 million owed] at that point. When he finally does bring up the actual situation, he acted like he didn't know anything. Like, 'I didn't tell y'all to do that.'"
He added, "That's not Floyd [on Twitter or Instagram dissing me]; Floyd don't Tweet…he's got somebody next to him. See, everybody around him is co-dependent, so they gonna roll with what he says regardless…they'll tell him what to say. As soon as he gets confused, he's gonna go, 'Okay, okay, um, just call out [50 Cent].'"

How Breastfeeding Works
After you give birth, hormones are released in your body. These hormones cause the alveoli, the tiny sacs deep in your breast tissue, to produce more colostrum, and in about three days, milk. Colostrum is very concentrated and helps protect the baby against illness because it is high in antibodies.
The alveoli are connected to milk ducts, which lead to several openings in the nipples. When your baby sucks, she triggers the release of the hormone oxytocin, which stimulates milk flow. This is called the let-down reflex. The let-down response feels like pins and needles, or fullness from as high as the shoulders down to the nipples. Don't be concerned if you don't feel the let-down the first few days after birth; this is normal. Even though you might be feeling tired or stressed, just find as quiet and comfortable a place as you can to nurse - take a deep breath and relax as your baby latches on.
Your baby is getting enough breast milk if she produces about six to eight wet/dirty diapers a day (more if you use cloth diapers). You have probably learned about breastfeeding from your health care provider or childbirth educator. In addition, almost all birth settings have lactation consultants (breastfeeding specialists) on staff to answer any questions you may have about infant feeding and help you get a good start. And if you choose to have a doula after the baby is born, she can also help you with any questions or concerns that may come up about breastfeeding. Finally, organizations such as La Leche League or Women, Infants and Children (WIC) offer breastfeeding support groups and can direct you to lactation consultants in your community.

I'd actually enter that one, since I'll soon be doing something along those lines for LadyTear's project anyhow.
Yes, absolutely, let me at the matchbox!
No! Too hot! *looks for fire extinguisher*
I like Soylent Green.
I'm sitting here thinking for inspiration for a new map, and I started thinking about the gold challenge, and then thought why not get a bit more elemental with it. I was about to start on something when it occured to me this might be a neat idea to toss out for a new lite challenge.
Similar to the Gold challenge, the idea this time is to have a theme of FIRE.
Volcanic Castle with Lava Moat, Underground Magma lake, City of Brass, Elemental planes, Forge maps, campfire encounter battlemaps, Maps actually on fire...
I think this is a pretty neat idea. Could use it for a regular challenge too, even
My finished maps
"...sometimes the most efficient way to make something look drawn by hand is to simply draw it by hand..."
I'd actually enter that one, since I'll soon be doing something along those lines for LadyTear's project anyhow.
I like it...

Cyclones Tab Ubrun as New Assistant Coach
Related Links
More from Cyclones.tv
"We are excited to have coach Ubrun here," Gemeinhardt-Cesler said. "She comes from Chattanooga, who has been one of the best offensive teams in the country the past two seasons. She was a phenomenal player at Missouri who helped the Tigers get to the Women's College World Series. She will be able to provide a clear vision to our players for what it takes to be successful."
Throughout her three seasons in Chattanooga, where she worked with outfielders and hitters, the Mocs were one of the top hitting teams in the country. In her first two seasons with UT-Chattanooga, when she was a volunteer assistant, the Mocs hit over .340 in both seasons. In 2011, Chattanooga set school records in six offensive categories, including runs scored and total bases. Under the guidance of Ubrun, Tiffany Baker set the school record for home runs in 2011 with 18.
Ubrun played collegiately at Missouri, helping lead the Tigers to the 2009 Women's College World Series.

Hi friends,
I am searching in the forum and so surprised that I can not find the script to automate installing language packs as in the instructions at: Translations - Zimbra :: Wiki.
I wrote this simple script for myself and also would like to share with you.
Hope it will be also improved more.
To use it, you should:
- already have the translated .properties files in your language.
- extract and copy this script onto the same folder as where language files located on the Zimbra server.
- you may need to run "chmod +x install-lang.sh" to set it executable
- and the last, go to the folder and run "./install-lang.sh".
Hope this helps.

The episode starts out with SpongeBob waking up and singing the song, "Best Day Ever," and he describes to Gary what he plans to do on this day: do his "perfect" job at the Krusty Krab, practice karate with Sandy, go jellyfishing with Patrick using his new high-tech net, and at the end of the day attend Squidward's big clarinet recital. However, SpongeBob's "Best Day Ever" does not turn out as he plans. He goes to the Krusty Krab, only to find it condemned due to a severe nematode infestation. He then tells the nematodes to leave, but they eat his pants instead. SpongeBob begins playing the "Best Day Ever" song with his nose, causing the nematodes to follow him. Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob to keep playing and lead them as far away as possible, and he does so until they all fall asleep (including SpongeBob).
He then goes to Sandy's tree dome for karate, but Sandy is busy trying to fix a leak in the roof of her treedome. SpongeBob thinks that this is a trap, and attacks her anyway. Sandy hits him and sends him flying up to the roof, and his glove sticks to it, sealing the leak. Afterward, SpongeBob heads over to Jellyfish Fields to go jelly fishing with Patrick, but Patrick explains that he has broken his net. SpongeBob gives him his old net to use, but he quickly breaks it as well. Finally, SpongeBob gives Patrick his brand-new net, and sits there watching as Patrick has fun jellyfishing with it.
Finally, when SpongeBob goes to Squidward's clarinet recital but Squidward tells him that he cannot play in the concert because his clarinet reed is shot. SpongeBob pulls out one of his teeth to replace the reed, and angrily demands Squidward to put on the show, frustrated that the majority of his "Best Day Ever" is ruined. When SpongeBob tries to enter the concert, the doorman will not let him in because he does not have a ticket. He tries various methods of sneaking in, but is caught every time. Eventually, the doorman realizes who SpongeBob is, and lets him in because he is on the VIP list. However, the concert ends just as SpongeBob gets into his seat, and that is where he finally loses it.
Reaching his breaking point, SpongeBob goes up on stage, rips the curtains and starts angrily whining to the audience about how his "Best Day Ever" was completely destroyed. However, his friends then remind SpongeBob of how he helped them with their problems out of his kindness, and to make everything up to him, they hold a "very expensive" production in which SpongeBob performs his song, "Best Day Ever," to complete his real Best Day Ever with his friends by his side. After hours, SpongeBob, is still singing, his friends are tired and sleepy, the audience has left the concert hall, and the janitor is sweeping the floor. Squidward asks, "How long they will have to keep this up?" and Mr. Krabs replies with "Just until his little heart gives out, Squidward. Just until his little heart gives out."

- This episode marked the end of the Lowercase/Uppercase Captioning. All captions in this episode are in uppercase, including those in brackets. The first Season and the first episode of the second season (including "Something Smells" and "Bossy Boots") used all-Uppercase captioning, except for text in explanation brackets.
- This is the second appearance of the nematodes with the first being "Home Sweet Pineapple." Nematodes are also mentioned in "Opposite Day" and "Sailor Mouth."
- In "Jellyfishing," SpongeBob and Patrick arrange a "Best Day Ever" for Squidward. It seems different than the one seen in this episode.
- The "Best Day Ever" song was first featured as the seventh track on the soundtrack and the last song in the credits before it ends in "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie," a while before this episode was made.

- When Squidward is talking to SpongeBob about how he saved the concert day, Sandy's tail is white instead of brown.
- SpongeBob's special net was called the Deluxe Jellyfish-Slayer Composite Pro. But in past episodes, it's called the Ol- Reliable. This may be its official name.
- Several seconds elapse between SpongeBob being carried to his seat to when he finally sits down. As soon as he sits, the concert is over and the audience applauds. During that time, we never heard the clarinet, meaning there was a long period of silence on stage until the concert ended.
- During SpongeBob's musical play, the fake Krusty Krab shows letters that say 'Krusty Krab' on the backdrop, but two seconds later, it only says 'KK'.
- SpongeBob's pants were ripped of by the nematodes and his sleeves off but when there were swirling SpongeBob's pants there were not even ripping on them.

Local business briefs - Walsh named CEO of AAIPharma-Cambridge Major Laboratories
Published: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 at 5:04 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 at 5:04 p.m.
Wilmington | The new head of the merged AAIPharma-Cambridge Major Laboratories company will be a familiar face.
Patrick Walsh, the current head of AAIPharma Service Corp., was named CEO of the merged company Tuesday.
The announcement comes a day after Water Street Healthcare Partners sold AAIPharma to Cambridge's owner, American Capital Ltd., for $391 million, according to a release.
Water Street bought AAIPharma in 2009.
AAIPharma and Wisconsin-based Cambridge announced their plans to merge in early October.
The combined company employs nearly 800 employees at nine sites in five states and has a manufacturing facility in Weert, The Netherlands. That list includes a 40,000-square-foot technology center in Wilmington off North 23rd Street that AAIPharma opened last year.
Wilmington remains affordable
Wilmington | The Port City remains slightly more affordable than the average U.S. city, according to results of a national cost-of-living survey for the third quarter of 2013.
On the survey, Wilmington scored 97.3 – with the national average index being 100. Manhattan was the highest of the country's 306 urban areas with a score of 221, while Norman, Okla., was the lowest at 82.4.
The survey looks at thousands of prices from six basic categories – housing, utilities, grocery items, transportation, healthcare, and miscellaneous goods and services.
Local data for the survey, which is conducted by the American Chamber of Commerce Research Association, is collected by the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce.
Markets close at record highs
New York | Investors drove the Dow Jones industrial average to an all-time high Tuesday on expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep its economic stimulus program in place.
The Dow rose 111.42 points, or 0.7 percent, to 15,680.35. It's previous record high, set on Sept. 18, was 15,676.94.
The Fed is in the middle of a two-day policy meeting at which it's expected to maintain its $85 billion worth of bond purchases every month. That program is aimed at stimulating economic growth by keeping borrowing rates very low.
The Standard and Poor's 500 index also set a record high Tuesday. The index rose 9.84 points, or 0.6 percent, to 1,771.95 – its seventh record high this month.

Summer Money Camps: Fun in the Sun With Finance
Business and finance camps aren't just for the nerdy and precocious anymore. Because, let's face it: The survival skill your child is most likely to need isn't knowing how to build a lean-to -- it's understanding how mortgages work. And these camps make learning those skills fun.

With this backdrop in place, I'm following up on a request by the Dutch Consulate in Washington D.C. to help them spread the word about their bicycle events. So, I'm happy to announce that, after the (ongoing) 'Go Green, Go Dutch, Go Bike' initiative, the Netherlands is taking the promotion of cycling to the next level with a new project: ThinkBike workshops, starting in Toronto:
The City of Toronto and the Consulate General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands are hosting Dutch bicycle planners on September 20th and 21st for the ThinkBike Workshops. Toronto and Dutch bicycle professionals will form two teams for this event. The teams will consider new elements to improve Toronto's cycling strategy. Each team will be given a Toronto cycling infrastructure problem to solve. Team Orange will work on designs to convert existing Toronto bikeways into physically separated bikeways. Team Blue will work on designs to connect gaps between existing downtown bikeways. The exercise will including drafting recommendations for marketing and communications. The results will be unveiled at a free public event Tuesday September 21st, 6-8 pm. The two teams will be competing to develop the most exciting proposal! Come watch the presentations!Velomondial calls the ThinkBike workshops 'mini Amsterdam Bike Slams', and they're right. Why change a winning concept? If that isn't exciting enough for #BikeTO, ThinkBike will also take place in Chicago on Sept 23-24, for "a Dutch Boost to Chicago's bike-ability":
Two teams, consisting of Chicago and Dutch specialists, will survey Chicago by bike and discuss how streets, intersections and whole neighborhoods can be improved for optimal bike use. Other topics of discussion at the workshops will include bike safety, commuting by bike, biking to school, bike parking, bikes and public transport, law enforcement, etc. Bicycle advocates, and other interested Chicagoans are invited to attend the opening session of these workshops, that will take place on Thursday, September 23 from 8:30 AM till 10:00 AM in the James R. Thompson Center auditorium, 100 W. Randolph Street. The session will be emceed by Geoffrey Baer, WTTW Channel 11's famous local travel documentary host, who will debut a new bicycling-focused show, "Biking the Boulevards,†later this fall. The session will also feature a keynote speech from Eric Gilliland, executive director of the National Association of City Transportation Officials, who will address the state of bicycling in Chicago and where it can grow. The event is free and open to the public. Registration, at no charge, will be available at www.activetrans.org.Photo by Steven Vance So, dear Torontonians & Chicagoans, whatever your cycling background, I have a feeling you don't want to miss this battle. It's more than just a bicycle infrastructure workshop. It could be the first of many bigger steps forward, to a more livable city. Yes, you remember correctly: "Everybody benefits."
Chicago is the first U.S. city to host such an event; visits to other American cities are planned for this fall as well as 2011.PS: if you plan to go, I'm eager to hear your feedback!

Many candidates chase few votes in Assembly special election
By: Gus Thomson, Journal Staff Writer
There is no shortage of candidates to replace Ted Gaines as District 4 assemblyman in Tuesday's special primary election. But it looks as if there will be a dearth of voters. In all, eight candidates are on the ballot – Republicans John Allard, Bogdan Ambrozewicz, Cheryl Bly-Chester, Beth Gaines, Rob Matthews, Michael O'Connor and Matt Williams, plus lone Democrat Dennis Campanale. Placer County elections chief Jim McCauley forecast on election eve Monday that about a third of all registered voters will cast ballots in Placer County – one of four counties that District 4 draws voters from. The county has about 171,000 registered voters in District 4, while there are approximately 294,000 registered districtwide. With many Placer County residents opting to vote by mail, McCauley's office had received about 20 percent of all ballots by Monday afternoon – or about two-thirds of all votes expected to be cast by the time polls close at 8 p.m. Tuesday. Ryan Ronco, assistant registrar of voters, said the forecast is for between 30 and 33 percent of voters to cast ballots in Placer County. The anticipated low voter number compares to the more-than-80 percent turnout during a typical presidential election. Placer County's votes will be combined with those received from El Dorado, Sacramento and Alpine counties to determine whether one candidate will have won the election with a majority of the vote – or if a runoff election will take place May 3 with the two top vote-getters. The election is the first time out for new Prop. 14 rules approved in the June election that put all candidates on one primary ballot regardless of their party preferences. If there's no winner in the primary, the two top candidates regardless of their party affiliation advance to the next round. Ronco said the Secretary of State's Office has called for an expedited count to finalize election results. Without compromising the count, Placer County could have those results within 10 days, he said. Today's initial tally of vote-by-mail ballots could prove inconclusive. "We'll be receiving votes from Lincoln to Tahoe," Ronco said. "We're not allowed to remotely tabulate them so we'll have a better idea when the votes come in from the county's far-flung environs." From the March 8 primary, District 4 elections offices would have 56 days to prepare for the next round. Some of the initial priorities would be getting ballots to overseas military personnel and civilian voters abroad, he said. Candidate statements are allowed to be mailed no sooner than 40 days before an election, Ronco said. The special election results from a double-win by Gaines. He won a third and final two-year term as District 4 Assemblyman last November and then won a special election in January for the District 1 state Senate seat. The Senate win meant Gaines vacated the Assembly post after being sworn in as senator in January, leaving the District 4 seat up for election and open until a successor is elected. ---------------------------------------------------- Assembly District 4 is strongly GOP District 4 Total registered 293,705 Republican 131,899 (44.91 percent) Democratic 91,395 (31.12 percent) Decline to state 56,627 (19.28 percent) Placer County Total registered 171,028 Republican 81,331 Democratic 50,464 Decline to state 32,740 El Dorado County Total registered 82,037 Republican 35,203 Democratic 25,726 Decline to state 15,824 Sacramento County Total registered 39,907 Republican 15,120 Democratic 14,925 Decline to state 7,901 Alpine County Total registered 733 Republican 245 Democratic 280 Decline to state 162 Source: California Secretary of State

It was 35 years ago on Saturday (October 20th, 1977), that a plane carrying Lynyrd Skynyrd crashed in a swamp near Gillsburg, Mississippi. At the time, the group was en route to its next show in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The crash took the lives of lead singer Ronnie Van Zant; guitarist Steve Gaines and his sister, backup singer Cassie Gaines; Lynyrd Skynyrd manager Dean Kilpatrick, as well as the plane's two pilots.
All the other members of the band suffered horrific injuries, from which they eventually recovered. Two years later, survivors Gary Rossington and Allen Collins (guitars), Billy Powell (keyboards) and Leon Wilkeson (bass) formed a new group, the Rossington-Collins Band. A decade after the plane crash, the surviving members of Skynyrd regrouped under the legendary name and played a series of dates to mark the anniversary with Johnnie Van Zant, the younger brother of Ronnie Van Zant, stepping in as his permanent replacement.
Recently released was the limited-edition DVD -- Wolfgang's Vault Presents "Day On The Green 1977: Featuring Peter Frampton and Lynyrd Skynyrd." The show, filmed on July 2nd, 1977 was one of several Day on the Green summer festivals presented by the late Bill Graham at Northern California's Oakland Coliseum Stadium. The concert features Skynyrd just three-and-a-half months before the tragic plane crash.
Out now is Lynyrd Skynyrd's latest album, Last Of A Dyin' Breed -- which is their best charting studio set since 1977's Street Survivors collection.

We've upgraded our installation and that overall did not go very smooth. After manual upgrade steps, we got it working, but we now have one issue in the web interface, and that is that when the interface loads, an error pops up:
Details of the error are:
An error occurred while initializing the zimlet "com_zimbra_attachcontacts". Please notify administrator.
TypeError: this.handlerObject._init is not a function
At first, this started happening for WebEx zimlet. I disabled it, and then there was an error with srchhighlighter zimlet. I disabled that one, and the error is now with attachcontacts zimlet. And so on.. I disabled linkedin, attachcontacts and zimbra social. Now the problem has gone away, but those zimlets are disabled.
Is this a zimlet issue or maybe a general one, but the zimlets which have been left enabled just don't use some functionality which would trigger the above error?
I don't really know where to look; the log files show no errors. We also have a staging environment with 7.0.1GA where there are no problems and zimlets are working fine (that system has been upgraded a week or so ago).
What to check next, where to look?

Becton Dickinson and Company goes big on green
Employees driving fuel-efficient vehicles get some of the closest parking spots at the main entrance.
January 01, 2012
From the sale of its first glass syringe in 1897 for $2.50, Becton Dickinson and Company (BD) has grown to become a global medical technology powerhouse with sales of over $7 billion in 2010.
For over a century, BD has stood by its commitment to "helping all people live healthy lives" by innovating, producing, and distributing a broad range of medical devices, equipment, and supplies to its many customers including hospitals and clinics, laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, government agencies, physician's offices, and pharmacies here and abroad.
In everything it does, this New Jersey-based manufacturer is steadfast in providing the highest standards of excellence—particularly when it comes to its supply chain. In 2011, Gartner Research ranked BD's supply chain third in its Healthcare Supply Chain's Top 25, recognizing it as one that achieves "supply chain excellence and supports high-quality patient care at optimal economic cost."
At the core of this supply chain is a three-distribution center (DC) network that primarily supports BD's Medical segments along with portions of its Diagnostics and Biosciences segments. Last
November, to further strengthen this network, the company opened a new 720,000-square-foot facility in Four Oaks, N.C. After only a few months up and running, the facility has already garnered some significant certifications.
It will be the company's first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certified DC—a certification developed by the U.S. Green Building Council to rate a facility's environmental friendliness. "BD has a real drive for sustainability, and we kept that on the forefront when we planned and designed this new DC," says Ewald Parolari, senior director for supply chain operations.
It was awarded with a Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) certification from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, that ensures a more secure and expeditious supply chain for BD's employees, its trading partners, and customers. In addition, it successfully completed a TSA certification process that included an onsite assessment of the facility, designating it as a Certified Cargo Screening Facility (CCSF). As such, the facility is certified to do cargo screening in-house so that it's not subject to a secondary screen at the airport.
And we haven't even started to describe its state-of-the-art materials handling. With 50 percent of its orders comprised of full pallet picks, the DC uses the latest in lift truck technology to transport pallets, while case-pick orders are picked using hands-free voice technology onto pallet jacks.
So, how did they do it? Over the next few pages we'll share how the BD team made this one-of-a-kind DC a reality.
Time for a change
For years, BD had been shipping products using a three-DC network: a 600,000 square-foot facility in Swedesboro, N.J., that opened in 1991; a conventional 425,000 square-foot facility in Redlands, Calif., that opened in 2002 to handle all Far East shipments; and a 650,000 square-foot mechanized (pick-to-conveyor) facility in Plainfield, Ind., that opened in 2007.
"The Swedesboro DC was the oldest in our network and basically had a suboptimal configuration," explains Parolari. "With 28-foot clear heights, there's room for only four levels of racking. Because of its limited height, it had a large footprint, causing material handlers to make long runs."
It was also running out of space, closing in on a 85 percent capacity threshold. "We need flexibility," adds Fernando Gonzalez, BD's manager of supply chain process improvements. "We have to be in a position to readily support acquisitions and route new products lines. And due to its age and where it was in its capacity, the Swedesboro DC would not have been able to adequately support that."
But what pulled the trigger on the Four Oaks facility was the fact that the Swedesboro DC's lease was about to expire. Instead of simply extending the lease, the team wanted to take a good hard look at the current network configuration in a detailed study and determine the best option moving forward.

Loved it
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This board is awesome, it's a little bit soft for my liking but I like a really stiff board. I rode park and street over 100 days this year and loved it. The edge did break under my right binding, but I could still ride it. I'm 6'2" 140 lbs and had a 152
Great board
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I'll start by saying that this board is amazing, the pop is terrific and the traditional camber really helps with that. The only downside is that the board wont last very long. I had multiple parts of the edge break. Other than it not being a board that will last a long time I will recommend it.
Great Buy
The deck graphic is sweet and original. The board is pretty soft for standard camber boards. Good buy for the price. Highly Recommended
Great All Around Board!
I like this board a lot. Broke it in and its still riding good with good pop. Its pretty stiff and im a big fellow 250lbs on a 159 and it doesnt press to well but jumps great and i like the camber feel for all mountain riding. not so much of a park board from what i have experienced
So you mean its good for all mountain as well even its camber? I have this one also but it says for park board. Im 5'6, 185lbs. 156wide
CAPiTA Stairmaster
Why It's Awesome: As a cult favorite among the CAPiTA team, the Transworld SNOWboarding Good Wood winning Stairmaster rips like no other board near the price. Featuring bombproof construction and a new lowered camber, these boards are smaller, wider, softer, and designed for maneuverability around the park. The WDT Jib Core will allow you to pop in and out of any feature imaginable while going bigger and faster than all your friends — one of the reasons why the overwhelming demand for the Stairmaster grows every year.

I'm 6 feet tall, weight 175 and have a size 11.5 boot. Would you recommend the 156 regular or wide model? I'm looking to do jibbing, buttering and jumps
I would go with the wide version.

Victor, Victoriana — Summer's Moody Florals
>> Play on to the dark side. Jason Wu showed inky florals for Resort 2011, Valentino offered vines of black lace for Spring 2011, and coming soon for Fall 2011? A whole host of enigmatic blossoms in dusky hues from the likes of Bensoni, Chris Benz, and Lanvin (left), just to name a few. Victorian drama, it seems, is here to stay. Slip into the long shadows of Summer with these darkly romantic pieces — and let them linger straight through Fall.
