Early voting for the mayoral primary election begins today. The top two winners of this round of voting will go head-to-head in the Nov. 5 election. The candidates: Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls, a Democrat who supports the streetcar and parking lease; ex-Councilman John Cranley, a Democrat who opposes the streetcar and parking lease; Jim Berns, the Libertarian who attempted to withdraw from the race but changed his mind a day later; and Sandra "Queen" Noble, an eccentric Independent candidate who sent an F-bomb-laden email to debate organizers.
Cincinnati Council's Budget and Finance Committee approved the construction of Over-the-Rhine headquarters
for Cintrifuse, the startup incubator. The company has been working
from a temporary location downtown, but it claims it needs a better space
to continue attracting businesses, particularly those in the tech
field. Cintrifuse will be joined in its new home by CincyTech and the
Brandery. Although all council members voiced support for Cintrifuse,
Councilman Chris Seelbach disputed using Focus 52 funds to build the new
headquarters. The city administration previously told Seelbach that the
Focus 52 money wouldn't be used to further develop Over-the-Rhine,
which has received a disproportionate amount of city funding to spur the
neighborhood's revitalization.
The committee also approved changes for the next phase of The Banks,
which will include retail space and a nine-story apartment building with about 305
apartments. The first phase of The Banks filled
up fast and won a top award
— two big positives the city and county obviously hope to replicate with the next leg of the project.
It's now up to the development team behind
the project and the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners to approve the next phase.
Council members and city officials voiced opposition yesterday to a tea party campaign to change Cincinnati's pension system. Council members acknowledged the current pension system has problems, but they called the campaign, which is currently gathering petitions to get a proposal on the November ballot, misguided and flawed. The proposal would change the city's pension system to use a defined contribution model similar to 401k plans that are common in the private sector. But just like private sector plans, the new system might require paying into Social Security, which would make the plan more expensive for Cincinnati.
Ohio House Republicans are being asked to hold oversight hearings for JobsOhio, the state-funded, privatized development agency that has been mired in controversy in the past few weeks. Most recently, Dayton Daily News discovered that some members of the JobsOhio board are employed by, on the board of or stockholders in companies that are receiving state aid through JobsOhio. Republicans say JobsOhio's privatized and secretive nature allow it to move faster with deals that attract businesses and jobs to the state, but Democrats argue the agency is too unaccountable and might be wasting and misusing taxpayer money.
Billy Slagle, the convicted murderer who apparently hung himself over the weekend, died without knowing of a plea deal that could have prevented his scheduled execution. CityBeat wrote about Slagle's case in further detail here.
The Ohio Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is upset that charges have been dropped against an allegedly abusive Amish dog breeder. The group had pushed for charges against Jonas Beachy, the breeder, after 52 dogs were pulled from his central Ohio farm with dental disease, feces-smeared coats and paws mangled by wire mesh cages. Circleville Law Director Gary Kenworthy conditionally dismissed the charges because of problems securing veterinarian records for the dogs.
The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) announced in a statement today that the Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force, the Ohio Department of Public Safety and ODJFS will be working with the Ohio Network of Children's Advocacy Centers to help minors who are victims of human trafficking. The new collaboration is seen as another step to stop human trafficking in Ohio, an issue that has haunted the state in the past.

An audit of the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) found former Sheriff Simon Leis crippled technological developments, stacked leadership positions with political cronies and still kept his staff fiercely loyal during his 25 years in charge of HCSO. The Oct. 15 audit claims the agency was "largely frozen in time" and didn't meet the most basic modern standards, including a failure to adopt computer spreadsheets and other modern technologies instead of keeping paper-based records that only one person can access at a time. The audit claims a few possible consequences for Hamilton County: outdated policing policies, exposure to possible litigation and an overworked, under-trained staff. To fix the mistakes, the audit recommends various investments and changes to policies that could prove costly to the county — perhaps too costly to a county government that has been forced to make budget cuts for the past six years. Read more about the audit here.
Developers sold the apartments and 96,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space in the first phase of The Banks for $79.5 million. In a memo, City Manager Milton Dohoney claimed the sale is a sign of the strong market that's being built in Cincinnati. Dohoney noted that the sale will provide nearly $1.2 million for the city and county, which will likely go to other projects in The Banks, and allow Carter and The Dawson Company to repay the city and county's nearly $4.7 million retail fit-up loan three years in advance. The sale should also increase the property's assessed value, which Hamilton County Auditor Dusty Rhodes previously put at $52 million, or $27.5 million less than it actually sold for, and subsequently lead to higher property-based tax revenue, according to Dohoney.
The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) could force the Lebanon Road Surgery Center, a Cincinnati-area abortion clinic, to close after a health examiner upheld ODH's decision to revoke the clinic's license because it couldn't establish a patient transfer agreement with a nearby hospital. Abortion rights advocates touted the closure as another example of how new regulations in the recently passed state budget will limit access to legal abortions across the state. But ODH handed down its original decision for the Cincinnati-area abortion clinic in November 2012, more than half a year before Gov. John Kasich in June signed the state budget and its anti-abortion restrictions into law. Meanwhile, Ohio Right to Life praised the state for closing down or threatening to close down five abortion clinics this year.
Reminder: Officials project the streetcar will have a much greater economic impact in downtown than Over-the-Rhine, despite what some detractors may claim.
The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office last night began threatening to arrest homeless people who refuse to leave the Hamilton County Courthouse and Justice Center and find another place to sleep, according to Josh Spring of the Greater Cincinnati Homeless Coalition. The sheriff's office says the steps are necessary to put an end to public urination and defecation on county property, but homeless advocates say the county should focus on creating jobs and affordable housing to solve the root of the problem. CityBeat covered the issue in greater detail here.
Former Ohio House Speaker Jo Ann Davidson questioned her fellow Republicans' legal threats against Gov. John Kasich's plan to bypass the legislature and get the federally funded Medicaid expansion approved through the Controlling Board, a seven-member legislative panel. Davidson says Kasich is on "firm ground" legally because the state budget contained a provision that allows the state's Medicaid director to expand the program. The Kasich administration on Oct. 11 announced its intention to call on the Controlling Board to take up the expansion, which will use federal Obamacare funds for two years to extend Medicaid eligibility to more low-income Ohioans. The Health Policy Institute of Ohio previously found the expansion would generate $1.8 billion for Ohio and insure nearly half a million Ohioans over the next decade.
Ohio Libertarians and Greens threatened to sue the state if the legislature passes a bill that would limit ballot access for minor political parties. The Ohio Senate already approved the legislation, and an Ohio House committee is expected to vote on it at a hearing on Oct. 29.
More charges have been filed against a local spine doctor accused of carrying out unnecessary surgeries in the Cincinnati area and Florence, Ky., and billing health care programs millions of dollars, according to court documents released Thursday.
A race car managed to swap fossil fuels for hydrogen power.
Cincinnati officials and Cincinnati Board of Education leaders yesterday announced a new collaborative that aims to share and align the city and Cincinnati Public Schools' (CPS) policy goals. The initiative will focus on five areas: population growth, workforce development, safe and livable neighborhoods, wellness and access to technology. City and school officials say the collaborative alone won't hit their budgets, but future joint initiatives could obviously carry their own costs.
Councilman Chris Seelbach and union supporters yesterday gathered outside the Hamilton County Administrations Building to call on county commissioners to open bidding on several Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) projects. County commissioners blocked the work in protest of Cincinnati's "responsible bidder" rules, which require MSD contractors to meet more stringent job training requirements and pay into a pre-apprenticeship fund that will train new workers in different crafts. The Republican-controlled county says the rules are illegal, favor unions and burden businesses, but the Democrat-controlled city says the standards help train local workers and create local jobs.
Meanwhile, county commissioners appear ready to take the city-county dispute to court. If the conflict isn't resolved by the end of the year, the federal government could impose fines to force work on a mandatory overhaul of the local sewer system to fully continue, according to Commissioner Chris Monzel.
Cincinnati's riverfront has come a long way, but The Cincinnati Enquirer and others seem unhappy The Banks is taking so long to fully develop. A lot was promised with the initial plan for the riverfront, but the Great Recession and other hurdles slowed down the development of condos, office and retail space and a hotel. For some business owners, the slowdown has made it much harder to get by unless a major event — a Reds or Bengals game, for example — is going on, particularly during bad winters. In particular, struggling Mahogany's owner Liz Rogers says she "would like to see more retail, a hotel, a movie theater."
Following Councilman Charlie Winburn's warnings that the city wastefully bought too much road salt, the city is actually running low on salt and waiting on an order of 3,500 tons. Over the past couple months, Winburn accused the city of wasting money when he "discovered" a pile of unused road salt. Despite Winburn's attempts to make "saltgate" into a thing, it turns out the city bought the salt when it was cheaper and planned to use it in the future.
Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center plans to reopen a pediatric health clinic that abruptly closed down when Neighborhood Health Care Inc. shut down operations. The clinic expects to see 500 needy children and teenagers each month.

The Ohio Elections Committee dismissed a complaint against COAST for allegedly making false tweets about Issue 48, but it was only because the complaint, filed by pro-streetcar group Cincinnatians for Progress, improperly named a COAST political action as a defendant or something. Streetcar advocates say they'll refile the complaint, and COAST lawyer Chris Finney says he'll win again. ("HAHAHA!")
Youngstown Vindicator is a cool newspaper name. It reports that Ohio Democrats walked out of a vote on the new Republican redistricting map after Republicans failed to gain enough Democrat support to pass it. Lawmakers reportedly yelled at each other, too.
City Council conservatives made Mayor Mallory real mad yesterday, blocking his appointment of Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan to the Hamilton County Transportation Improvement District. An initial vote actually allowed the appointment until appointed Republican Councilman Wayne Lippert heard that the other Republicans and Chris Bortz voted against it for various trivial reasons. Lippert asked for a re-vote and swung it the other way.
Mallory reportedly called out the conservatives, referring to them as "extremely unprofessional" and "horribly non-functional." According to The Enquirer, the normally even-tempered Mallory responded to their suggestions that they'd like to see someone else receive the appointment by saying, "that person's not getting appointed" and later adding, "I appoint a lot of people to a lot of things. And this will be remembered."
Covington City Commissioner Steve Frank is getting a little bit of local coverage after posting the following to his Facebook account on Sunday: "Turn out the lights on the Occupiers, I feel like going Taliban on them!!!" Frank yesterday explained in a grammatically challenged response the wildly circular logic behind his statement: "The taliban, through there (sic) eyes are resisting occupation. I'm resisting the Occupiers. I figured that the irony would be lost on most of the dummies in Occupation Nation that oppose the war because they see us as occupiers. I happen to oppose the war too but for highly different grounds."
Cincinnati has the third-highest rate of childhood poverty in the country, and The Enquirer's Mark Curnutte tells the story of an East Price Hill family and school system struggling to keep up.
Hamilton County for the fourth straight year dipped into its rainy day fund instead of instituting major cuts or raising taxes.
National non-profit teacher training program Teach For America has offered to work in Cincinnati Public Schools, possibly as early as next year. CPS has yet to commit to the partnership, noting that there are laid-off veteran teachers in the region.
A misleading advertisement by pro-SB 5 group Building a Better Ohio has been pulled from nearly 30 TV stations, including two in Cincinnati. Here's the original report about Building a Better Ohio splicing the an ad created by We Are Ohio. The Columbus Dispatch's "Ad Watch" had already designated the Building a Better Ohio version as "misleading" because Republican spending cuts are largely to blame for any firefighter layoff decisions local governments are facing.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney yesterday popped in on a local pro-Issue 2 and Issue 3 call center and then refused to publicly endorse either Republican initiative. "Yes" votes on Issues 2 and 3 would keep Senate Bill 5 and allow Ohioans to opt out of mandatory health care passed by Congress last year, respectively. From CNN:
"I am not speaking about the particular ballot issues," Romney said, only after repeated questions from reporters. "Those are up to the people of Ohio. But I certainly support the efforts of the governor to reign in the scale of government. I am not terribly familiar with the two ballot initiatives. But I am certainly supportive of the Republican Party's efforts here."
Both topics are tricky for the Romney campaign.
He is no stranger to health insurance mandates, having passed one of his own in 2006 while governor of Massachusetts.
Meanwhile, the Republican-backed union legislation remains deeply unpopular in the state, which is all but certain to be a swing state once again in 2012.
Romney also doesn't want to make his tax returns public. Too modest.
Cincinnati police didn't give out any citations in Piatt Park last night, saving the people in the Justice Center a lot of paperwork and wasted time. Some occupiers and local homeless activists have planned a march on Saturday to highlight causes of homelessness.
New York officials delayed a monthly park cleaning that would have meant having to clean lots of protesters too. The movement is spreading to Canada, where occupy protests are scheduled to begin this weekend in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary, Vancouver and Halifax.

Hey all, this may have been posted about before. I've been looking, but haven't seen anything about it so far.
I really need a new filter feature in Zimbra. I'm using 01.com to host my account and really love Zimbra. But it has the same shortcoming that all of my email accounts do.
I would really like to see a filter option that will sort the message once it's changed from read to unread in the main inbox. This would solve so many problems for me at one. When you get a lot of mail folders, it would be so much easier to have this feature that it would really make my day. I'd especially like it to work from my iPhone so that I can unclutter the mail inbox now that all of my accounts are combined.
Please, please make this feature happen soon! I'd love to see it.
All the Best,

After his 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 defeat of Spanish baller Marcel Gronellers, Andy Murray was asked in his post-match presser about recent statements by Roger Federer + Novak Djokovic questioning his place as a fave for the Aussie Open title:
Q. Have you been intrigued that Roger and Novak are a bit irritated that you're getting a bit more attention and people are suggesting you might even win this thing?So no mention of Nole meriting fave status Andy? Interesting. Anyway, after your tremendous results recently including wins over Fed and the defending champ, you deserve to be included in the group of faves for the title - period. Everyone starts at zero and some were faves while some others were surprises when they grabbed their maiden major.
ANDY MURRAY: I mean, quite big contradictions. You know, they don't ‑‑ you know, they say there's a lot of pressure on them, but then people aren't saying they're the favorites, but they want to be the favorites. Therefore, by saying they're the favorites, they're putting more pressure back on themselves.
I don't really understand the whole thing. I mean, I think I played well enough in the last six or seven months to be in that sort of group. Whether I'm the favorite or not, I don't know.
Like I said at the start of the tournament, Federer, Nadal have got the most experience, you know, and probably merit being favorites. But there's a reason why people think I have a chance to win here, because I played very well the last few months and won against them.
The real champion will be crowned in a little over a week anyway.
However, I can't say that I'm not enjoying the fireworks!

Great Article! I hope more more of the same are coming!
I found this Article only by accident when browsing Articles on dpReview. I wish this Article can be linked in prominent place to the X-Pro1 Review. To me the information in this Article are more important for buying considerations than the Review itself.
A very small quibble on the discussion of Corner Sharpness:
When comparing the corner sharpness of the city rooftop shot comparison of f/4 and f/11, I would venture that a significant portion of the shown corner softness @ f/4 is not necessarily simply corner sharpness, but may very well be regular loss of sharpness due to depth of field.
It appears the corner roof top is placed at 1/3 : 2/3 distance to the center roof top and thus most likely out of depth of field when focused on the center position.
In short, I believe this example is not indicative of loss of corner sharpness due to lens aberrations.

I think you'll find deer taste different more based on their location and what they're eating. I've been gnawing on a high country mule deer from this September and it's possibly the best deer I've ever had. I live in MN and grew up eating hardwoods whitetails. The last few years I've taken deer from a different part of the state, where there's ample farm land. I've also gotten some of my family's deer from the hardwoods. The deer that feed on corn and soybeans taste significantly different than the hardwoods deer.
There's also a lot to be said for doing a thorough job at removing silver skin. Preparing/cooking the meat also can really improve/ruin the taste of the meat.
Hope you bring the meat home with you- eating the animal not only brings you back to the hunt in a unique way, but I think it also shows a certain amount of respect for the animal. Good luck hunting! Hope you smoke a giant!!

Woman robbed; business nearby averts robbery
Published: Saturday, March 16, 2013 at 10:35 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 16, 2013 at 10:35 p.m.
BELLEVIEW -- Belleview Police Department officers are continuing their investigation into two incidents, one successful, the other not, on a person and a business late Friday night, according to authorities.
About 11 p.m. Friday, officials said an unidentified man approached a woman in the parking lot at the CVS Pharmacy, 5800 SE Abshier Blvd., with a knife and demanded money.
The robber got the victim's purse and fled on foot.
While officers were investigating that incident, they received a call about another incident not far away at a fast food restaurant.
On scene at Checkers, 5497 SE Abshier Blvd., officers were told a man approached a female employee at the counter and demanded money.
The man was unsuccessful in his attempt, and left empty-handed, officials said.
The description given to police in both incidents was similar: a white male, roughly 6 feet tall, wearing a hoodie.
Anyone with any information about these cases can call the BPD at 245-7044, Crime Stoppers at 368-STOP, or visit www.ocalacrimestoppers.com.

The artwork that never sleeps
Back when Ken Smith took classes in design and fine arts at Iowa State, he never dreamed that one day his artistic vision would be shown in New York at the Museum of Modern Art. Or, more accurately, on top of it.
The Iowa State alum and landscape architect was chosen to create MoMA's Roof Garden. It's a brilliantly original work of art, using white gravel, recycled black rubber, crushed glass, and artificial boxwood plants in a camouflage pattern. His inspiration: a pair of skateboarder's pants.
Ken also designed the Elevated Acre, a one-acre urban plaza with a sloping topography of planted dunes and an elevated view of New York Harbor. This summer, Ken's groundbreaking creations were awarded the prestigious Christian Petersen Design Award.
Finding amazingly successful people like Ken Smith coming from Iowa State isn't that unusual. That's because here, students enjoy unlimited opportunities that allow them to turn their interests into personal adventures. It might be discovering a new formula for rocket fuel, unearthing an ancient civilization, or writing the next great American novel.
Most recently, Ken is transforming an urban landscape closer to home, lending downtown Des Moines his vision for a redesigned Nollen Plaza.

Mountain Pavilion Event: Role of mountains in promoting green growth and making development sustainable
19 Jun 2012 - 19 Jun 2012Why this Side Event?
Mountain ecosystems, with their rich biodiversity, provide critical goods and services that are essential for sustaining the local, regional, and global environment and economy. About half of the world?s population depends on mountains for fresh water, clean energy, irrigation water, minerals, forest products, recreation, and genetic resources. Mountains are repositories of important agro-biodiversity, and half of the global biodiversity hotspots are located in mountains. Economic growth and sustainability in the lowlands rely in large part, directly or indirectly, on environmental resources and services from mountains. However, mountain communities do not receive the full benefits from the goods and services they provide to society at large.
Achieving global sustainability will not be possible without finding ways to manage mountain ecosystem resources so as to ensure that mountains continue to provide critical services in the face of climate change and other global changes.
This side event will provide examples from different mountain regions of the world to showcase successful ways to facilitate green economy in the mountains, create more sustainable livelihoods, and reduce poverty.
Key Questions to be Addressed
? What is a mountain-specific green growth strategy?
? What can mountain systems contribute to promote green growth and green economy?
? What are the opportunities to be seized?
? How can green growth pathways help achieve social equity, poverty reduction, and environmental security?
? What kinds of political, financial, and technological commitments are needed at Rio+20?
Expected Outcomes
ƒƒA common but differentiated green growth strategy for the mountains
ƒƒIdentification of potential green economic solutions that mountain ecosystems can provide
ƒƒEnhanced understanding and recognition of mountain ecosystem services, leading to their inclusion in national accounts and policies
ƒƒGreen economy opportunities for mountain regions identified
ƒƒActionable ideas and projects identified for different mountain regions
Tentative Programme
ƒƒRole of Mountain Ecosystems in Promoting Green Economy and Green Growth: A Strategic Perspective ? Dr David Molden, Director General, ICIMOD
ƒƒGreen Economy Strategies and Opportunities in Different Mountain Regions of the World (Africa, South America, Central Asia, South Asia, Europe)
ƒƒPanel Discussions (Ministers and Senior Delegates)
ƒƒWrap-Up ? Madhav Karki, ICIMOD/Olman Serrano, Mountain Partnership
ƒƒPanel Discussion

Factories, farmers and fishermen could stop paying sales taxes on electricity and fuel, under a state House proposal.
Representatives passed House Bill 844 by a 75-43 vote. It would exempt those groups from a 1.5 percent sales tax on fuel used in producing those industries' products.
The tax break would cost more than $6.9 million, under projections from the state Department of Revenue.
House members are likely to consider a $45 million a year tax break to exempt manufacturers from the state's franchise tax soon.
Supporters of the bill, say many other states don't tax energy use in production. They say Mississippi would be more attractive for new factories without the tax.
Opponents say the state can't afford to surrender tax revenues when it's struggling to fund existing programs.

2013 Southeast ShowdownWritten by on June 2, 2014 Contributors: Joe Greeeves It Gets Better Every Year
It generally takes a while for a car and truck show to mature. The early years are a struggle, but once attendance picks up, the locations get better, fun and games increase, and a higher number and quality of vehicles arrive as the perfect finishing touch. That's when the event gets engraved on your "gotta be there" list.
Started in 2003, the Southeast Showdown has been one of those top shows for several years. Show promoter Jon Fulmer has been a veteran of the show circuit for decades and his innovative approach keeps drivers coming back for more. His cash prize for the best debuting vehicle encourages drivers to unveil their latest creations at SESD and everyone looks forward to seeing something new.
The location adds to the fun with the Anderson Motor Speedway in Williamston, South Carolina, just far enough out of town that the noise and smoke from the burnout competition doesn't annoy the neighbors. Several classic truck drivers took their turn on the banked turns of the Speedway demonstrating lots of modern horsepower.
Adding to the fun, the downhill entry road to the track became the perfect spot for SESD's traditional soap box derby competition with drivers and spectators enjoying this gravity-powered event. If you'd like something a little quieter, the tattoo competition gave participants an opportunity to show off their latest body art, competing in several categories. Multiple vendors and professional pinstripers rounded out the list of options.
The Sunday afternoon awards ceremony presented 180 laser-cut steel trophies as permanent reminders of this year's fun with beautiful stained glass versions going to the top winners. Capturing the award for the Best Classic Truck was Sam Turner and his Indigo Bow Tie, a former feature in CLASSIC TRUCKS. His 1951 five-window Chevy was a four-year build with a complete body-off restoration, new 5.3L V-8, modern suspension, and custom interior. Sam also won the CLASSIC TRUCKS Editor's Choice award.
Shows like this are a group effort. Special thanks to Cagney, Allison, Clell, Logan, Justin, Jason, Kent, and the rest of the supportive team who helped make this event a success. Sponsors also play a vital part and this year's list of supporters include Sam's Garage, DropEmWear, Welch's Chop Shop, Ruff Zone, Tint Plus, NOPI, Glassworx, Palmetto Rod Worx, Williamson Auto, and Fastech Chassis and Rods. If you'd like more info on this South Carolina favorite, check out www.southeastshowdown.com. Dates for 2014 are July 26 and 27.

The "Indigo Bow Tie" of Sam Turner was the top classic truck at the event, winning Best Classic and Editor's Choice.The shaved and bagged truck rolls on 18- and 20-inch wheels and sports a modern powertrain, leather interior, and oak bed.Several rat rod trucks were on display, most with modern engineering under the weathered exteriors like Brad Baird's work-in-progress 1952 Chevy.Equipped with a 460 SVO crate motor that pumps out more than 600 horsepower, the vintage Ford sends power to the 20-inch rear wheels thanks to a C6 automatic with NASCAR internals. We caught this one fresh out of the trailer.The slick candy paintjob on this C10, paired with the chrome wire wheels show that vintage trucks are adaptable to lots of different styles.From Salisbury, North Carolina, Tim White owns this primered 1983 C10 with a 305 under the hood, 22-inch wheels, and suicide doors.
Brimming with the kind of nostalgia you can only find in a beautifully restored vintage truck, the 1946 Chevrolet pickup truck of George Wells combines flawless metalwork with a hand-built trunk in the wood bed.Brandon Faile from Pebble Pushers displayed his ground-hugging 1969 F-100, accented with patina'd paint and rolling on big rims.Lou and Elizabeth Perez from Greensboro, North Carolina, spend lots of time together, working on their 1983 shortbed C10.While their T-shirts may say "forever unfinished," the couple is hoping to drive their vintage truck soon.Putting the banked turns of the Anderson County Speedway to good use, lots of classic truck drivers had a chance to display plenty of raw horsepower in the burnout competition.Larry David owns this bright red 1956 F-100 sporting a 2.5-inch top chop and made Ford tough with Chevy stuff, thanks to its 383 Chevrolet stroker motor under the hood.More than 180 awards were given out during the event. These laser-cut steel trophies will certainly be displayed with pride.

Hello all,
I am having a minor issue where I get a "Security Information - nonsecure items" popup when I access the root page of my Zimbra installation over HTTPS. I get the same popup after I've entered my username and password. Interestingly, this occurs when I use IE 6.0 and does not occur when using FireFox 18.104.22.168. Unfortunately I have to support IE, so this is a problem.
Note that I recently upgraded from 3.1 to 4.0. This problem did not occur with 3.1 and is new behavior since the 4.0 upgrade.
Here is some pertinent information:
OS: Fedora Core 5
Zimbra Version: zcs-4.0.0_GA_303.FC5
My Zimbra installation is configured to be accessed entirely over HTTPS port 443.
I've been looking for days to find a root cause for this problem with no progress. Any ideas?
Thanks for your help,

BB King, or Riley B. King to give him his real name, is the Blues. The Mississippi guitarist washed up ashore in Memphis when the blues were young, but King embodied the spirit of the region in the way he literally invented the feel and effect of his blues voice. He recorded some of his earliest material in Memphis while he worked as a DJ, going under the name "Beale Street Blues Boy". Back then, the notion that BB King concert tickets would be a world famous commodity was a difficult one to believe, but the night was young. Despite a quite unfavorable reception from the media, King entered the fray at the dawn of the blues, and began to gather momentum like the immense talent he truly was, slowly emerging as a guitarist who could make his instrument speak that special language.
Through the 50s and 60s, King earned respect and recognition from the music industry by releasing a string of classic blues tracks like "Ten Long Years", "Woke Up This Morning", and "The Thrill Is Gone." This latter tune, a cover of the Roy Hawkins original, saw King enter the mainstream, and the public warmed to his gifted sense of timing by taking him to the top of the charts. Subsequent forays into pop music, most notably his collaboration with U2 for "When Love Comes to Town" brought further acclaim and pushed BB King into a brand new generation of fans, who would flock to buy BB King tickets in larger numbers than ever before.
Since his team-up with U2, King has performed with artists as diverse as Bo Diddley, Phish, and Eric Clapton, with whom he recorded the powerful Walking with the King album in 2000.
This latest trek around the USA sets BB King as the most endearing and enduring Blues player in the States. It is fitting that Buddy Guy accompanies him on some of these outings, as Buddy Guy himself is one of the few who have King a run for his money over time. BB King and Buddy Guy on tour in 2009 - what a concept! Buy BB King tickets and plunge into the dark world of pain, joy, and resolution, all from the guitar of the man who's been doing his blues thing since the 40s. He is a true monster of music. BB King tickets are what it's all about, no doubt. Go for it, and feel the force of raw, undiluted human feeling, straight from the blues volcano. It's a good thing.

Testimony :: Hon. Benjamin L. Cardin
Commissioner - Helsinki Commission
Mr. Chairman, I want to begin by thanking you for calling this hearing today on a matter of the utmost importance to the Jewish community and to human rights advocates both in the United States and around the world. I am gravely concerned about the recent sharp escalation of anti-Semitism and acts of racism and violence directed towards members of the Jewish community in the OSCE region.
We have seen a number of horrific incidents recently in France, Belgium, and Germany, as well as in the United Kingdom, Greece, Ukraine, and Russia. Such incidents have included shootings, fire bombings, and physical assaults. Synagogues have been the target of several firebomb attacks in France and Belgium. We have also witnessed terrible acts of anti-Semitism in Russia and the former Soviet Republics. Jewish hate propaganda is distributed in Moscow, Minsk, and Vilnius. The mayor of a Lithuanian town continues to vent anti-Semitic statements on a regular basis. In Belarus, the government forcibly merged several periodicals into one government controlled media outlet and reportedly appointed editors with well known anti-Semitic views.
Mr. Chairman, I am hopeful that this hearing today will remind OSCE participating States that they have pledged to unequivocally condemn anti-Semitism and take effective measures to both prosecute those that commit such hate crimes and to protect individuals from anti-Semitic violence. I am pleased to note that the OSCE was the first organization to successfully create an international document condemning anti-Semitism, as stated in the 1990 Copenhagen Concluding Document.
I am disappointed that our friends and allies in Europe have not taken a more aggressive stand against anti-Semitism in Europe. Many European officials, in my view, have proved slow to publically condemn the initial attacks and to vigorously prosecute the perpetrators of such acts. The increased attacks, couple with government inactivity, understandably left many European Jews feeling isolated and unprotected. I continue to call on European governments to publicly and loudly condemn anti-Semitic attacks, establish more visible police protection of Jewish sites and synagogues, and to more vigorously investigate, arrest, and prosecute those responsible for these hate crimes against Jews.
I am very disappointed, Mr. Chairman, with the conduct of United Nations agencies in the fall of 2001 at the World Conference Against Racism in Durban. I agree with our distinguished witness Dr. Samuels that United Nations agencies at Durban, particularly the Human Rights Commission and UNESCO, were "hijacked into a campaign for the demonization of the Jewish state and, through it, of the Jewish people." I look forward to hearing Dr. Samuels' first-hand account of his experiences at Durban.
In conclusion, Mr. Chairman, I hope that today's hearing will energize members of this Commission and members of the advocacy community to redouble their efforts to oppose anti-Semitism in all its forms, and to continue to pressure OSCE participating States to crack down on anti-Semitism violence and discrimination whenever it occurs.

Fragrances are my favorite beauty accessories, I love them more than clothes, shoes, handbags or jewelry. Over the years I've purchased hundreds of fragrances different varieties and origins from high end to casual wear fragrances, but Eau du Soir remains to be my favorite since I started wearing it over the past 15 years! I still wear a variety of fragrances but when I need my reliable close friend that never disappoints I reach for my Eau du Soir. :)
Written by Lin on July 07, 2015
I have been wearing Eau Du Soir for many years. It is the only fragrance I use. I am very often asked what the name of the scent is and told how wonderful it is. I receive compliments from men and women.

Yes, it's near the bottom as trophy elk states go
No, it's a great trophy elk state
Too late to get a point now, but you can apply for one without trying to draw a tag. I will have to be next year now.
Earlier someone asked about fires....well we have one going down here in the 4 Corners area now. Near Mancos, lots of smoke and some wind. Hope to hell they can get it beat down before it gets too bad.

Colorado isn't the best by any stretch but you can find a 300-330" bull every now and then if you look. I would choose AZ, UT, or NM over Colorado for a trophy bull.
A bad day in the woods is better than a good day at work.
Shoot the best, Shoot PSE!
I was hoping we would get dispatched down there to help you guys with the fires. We are packed and ready to help put them out. Any ways back to elk hunting. Colorado manages for hunter success dont they? Not trophy.
Yeah the majority of the units are manged that way. It is hotter than hell here this year and if the high country doesn't start getting some rain antler growth is going to be bad. I am thinking about turning in my unit 49 tag and drawing it next year. I have read articles that claim a drought year has the potential of stunting antler growth up to 40%.
A bad day in the woods is better than a good day at work.

I hope to find out soon..lol

Everyone is saying 300" elk...
I wonder when you compare 400" elk killed per year by state where CO ranks? Granted CO has the most elk, but is 1 400" CO elk killed every year? 390? 380?
I once heard a guy in elk camp say... "a guide in CO will have you convinced that a 300" elk is a monster"
to each their own, but my 1st elk hunt in CO I passed on a 4x4 and a fellow hunter said any other elk hunter in CO would have shot that elk, you should have shot it, they don't get much bigger out here on public land...
you know if everyone passed 5x5 and sub 300" elk, then when everyone shot an elk it would be a 6x6 300"+
again to each their own, but I'd rather shoot a cow elk for meat than a immature elk 4x4 230" type bull.
and this "if I don't shoot it someone else will" attitude doesn't help at all IMO.

The video game industry continues to struggle with how it deals with issues surrounding the open discussion of homosexuality in its online venues.
In the latest flap, Eurogamer reports that a forum mod on BioWare's Star Wars: The Old Republic banned users from discussing potential gay character relationships in the upcoming game:
The threads have since been locked, and the words "homosexual", "lesbian" and "gay" are censored on the forum.
Even discussions of the ban are being locked. At the bottom of the thread "GLBT discrimination in forums?", community manager… wrote, "As I have stated before, these are terms that do not exist in Star Wars. Thread closed."
It appears, however, that a thread entitled GLBT Discrimination in Forums? has been re-opened. A user named Elikal (forum avatar at left) writes:
I am grateful Bioware has opened the thread again, and allowed the words gay and lesbian now. Though I can't hide that I am quite disappointed. Bioware games had always been about complex ethical questions, about vast, diverse realities, and as such I had never expect Bioware of all companies to be so… narrow in this question. I was a Bioware fan so long… it was really a shock to see the thread closed.
Thanks to all the supporters, and even those who in civilized words disagreed, since debating things is what makes a modern society work.
And, as GayGamer points out, there has been at least one gay character in the Star Wars gaming universe. That would be Juhani of Knights of the Old Republic:
If you choose to kill [Juhani], a female Jedi at the temple will lambaste you for murdering her beloved one—stating that she and Juhani spent many nights under the stars together. Later on Korriban, that female Jedi will confront you and attempt to murder you for the love of Juhani. If you choose to take the other approach and save Juhani… Later on, if your main character is female and you have opened up all coversation lines with Juhani through the game, Juhani will confes her love for your character…

2013-14 Iowa State Men's Hoops Prospectus
2013-14 Season Outlook
Iowa State head coach Fred Hoiberg has turned the Cyclones into a high-octane, high-scoring machine in his three seasons in Ames. "The Mayor", who lost four of his top six scorers due to graduation, will attempt to repeat in 2013-14 what he orchestrated last season despite the turnover.
The Cyclones led the Big 12 and ranked third nationally in scoring averaging 79.4 points per game in 2012-13.
The fast-paced gameplan instituted by Hoiberg paid off as the Cyclones went 23-12 and advanced to the third round of the NCAA Tournament for the second year in a row.
Iowa State posted a pair of top-15 wins against Kansas State and Oklahoma State and finished the season 16-1 at home with only an overtime loss to No. 6 Kansas as a blemish on its resume. In the last two seasons, Iowa State is 32-3 (.914) at Hilton Coliseum. Hilton Magic is back, and you can thank The Mayor.
ISU boasted the nation's 22nd-best home attendance average with over 13,000 fans per game for the second season in a row and third time since 1993.
Hoiberg's coaching staff will have a different look this winter as former Nebraska head coach and Kansas Director of Basketball Operations Doc Sadler joins the staff to replace T.J. Otzelberger.
With Otzelberger and Director of Basketball Operations Jeff Rutter's departure, Hoiberg quickly pegged Sadler as his guy to fill the opening.
"I felt the need to add a coach with experience and Doc fit that need," Hoiberg said. "He has been in this business a long time and is proven as a recruiter and a coach. As someone that is still relatively new in this position, Doc has already been very valuable for me to lean on."
The Cyclones will once again have a lot of new faces on the court. They do, however, return a pair of talented posts in senior Melvin Ejim and sophomore Georges Niang, who are the only two of the top six scorers returning to the fold this season.
Hoiberg will again rely heavily on a transfer after adding former Marshall guard DeAndre Kane to the team in late May. Kane, who will be eligible this season after graduating from Marshall, hopes to follow in the footsteps of other Hoiberg transfers like Royce White, Will Clyburn, Korie Lucious, Chris Babb and Chris Allen.
The question is, can Hoiberg once again replace a large number of significant contributors and still be relevant in the Big 12 race?
The former Cyclone and NBA star believes because of the system in place, they can.
"It is about getting the right guys for your system," Hoiberg said. "I give our staff a lot of credit for getting the right pieces here, guys that fit how we play the game. I think we've got those guys again this year. We are going to be a lot younger than a year ago with the exception of DeAndre and Melvin. Now it's about how quickly can those other guys grow up?"
The other guys Hoiberg speaks of are the other five newcomers besides Kane, which includes highly touted freshmen Monté Morris and Matt Thomas. Morris and Thomas, who were both top-100 high school recruits, are joined by three JUCO transfers that will be looked upon to contribute.
Iowa State will likely continue to rely heavily on the 3-point shot after leading the nation with 9.9 threes made per game last season.
Hoiberg still sees making the tournament as the ultimate goal, with anything possible if you can accomplish that.
"The big thing is getting into the tournament and then anything can happen," Hoiberg said. "I think we showed that last year. We were playing our best basketball at the end of the season. We had maybe our most complete game of the year against Notre Dame and then played well enough to win against Ohio State. I honestly think that had we gotten past Ohio State we had a real chance of making it to the Final Four."
The Backcourt
Iowa State's backcourt took a hit with the departure of Babb, Clyburn, Lucious and Tyrus McGee, all of whom played a major role in the Cyclones' success a year ago.
In losing those four, ISU must replace its top scorer (Clyburn), ball handler (Lucious), defender (Babb) and 3-point shooter (McGee). All four players earned postseason honors from the Big 12.
Clyburn paced Iowa State with 14.9 points per game en route to earning Big 12 Newcomer of the Year honors. Lucious, an honorable mention All-Big 12 pick, started all 35 games at point guard for the Cyclones and was second in the league with 5.6 assists to go along with 10.1 points per contest.
Babb, a member of the Big 12 All-Defensive team, was also a threat offensively averaging 9.1 points per game despite drawing the assignment of guarding the opponent's top backcourt scorer. McGee, the Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year, was the nation's top 3-point shooter at 46.4 percent and chipped in 13.1 points off the bench while playing just 24 minutes per game.
Hoiberg knows the importance of backcourt play and despite the key losses believes there are pieces in place to still be successful, especially with the addition of Kane.
"Losing four of our top six scorers from a year ago from the backcourt is obviously tough, especially when really good guards is ultimately what wins you games," Hoiberg said. "Right now, it is pretty wide open back there. I think getting DeAndre was a very important pickup for us."
Kane, a 6-4 guard from Pittsburgh, gives the Cyclones immediate help at multiple positions. He has played 96 career games and is one of just two players nationally to average 15 points in each of his first three collegiate seasons. Last season for the Thundering Herd, Kane averaged 15.1 points and was 11th nationally with 7.0 assists per game as he earned All-Conference USA honors for the third time in his career.
"He's tough," Hoiberg said. "The number one thing you see is how tough and competitive he is. He finishes at the basket extremely well. He also makes the right plays. I've been really happy with DeAndre and he is a guy that really fits what we want to do."
The Cyclones will rely heavily on newcomers K.J. Bluford, Dustin Hogue, Thomas and Morris to eat up minutes along with sophomore Naz Long, who was used sparingly as a freshman. Throw into the mix redshirt freshman Sherron Dorsey-Walker and Hoiberg has a solid mix of players at his disposal.
Long, a 6-4 guard from Mississauga, Ontario, saw just under seven minutes a game as a freshman while filling in as a backup point guard. He averaged 1.4 points and 1.0 assists.
Dorsey-Walker redshirted last season while focusing on adding weight to his slight 6-4 frame. The Detroit, Mich. native bulked up to 200 pounds, a 28-pound difference from when he arrived on campus, while also spending plenty of time with Hoiberg fine tuning his jump shot.
"Naz and Sherron are guys that didn't have to contribute much last year because of the depth we had in the backcourt," Hoiberg said. "They are two guys that will be counted on as they continue to grow as players."
Bluford, a 6-1 junior guard from Northeast Community College (Neb.), is another guard that could help fill the void left by four players that averaged over 24 minutes per game graduating. He adds an immediate long distance threat for the Cyclones. At Northeast, he averaged 17.8 points and drilled 113 3-pointers at a 38.8 percent clip. In his two year career at the school, Bluford made 205 3-pointers and scored over 1,000 career points.
"K.J. is a guy that can really shoot it," Hoiberg said. "We like to have guys in our system that can knock it down and he is a player that can really get it going on the perimeter."
Hogue, a transfer from Indian Hills Community College (Iowa), adds a big body and potential mismatches on the perimeter for the Cyclones. The 6-6 junior averaged 12.9 points and 5.4 rebounds at Indian Hills while shooting 49.4 percent from the field.
"Dustin has really impressed me with his athleticism and physicality," Hoiberg said. "I think he is another guy that can really defend for us and play big minutes. He'll play multiple positions and create mismatches because he is good enough to play on the perimeter, can post up on smaller guys and still go around bigger guys if you play him at the four."
With the offense Hoiberg runs, Hogue is a player that is very valuable to the system.
"Our offense doesn't really have set positions like a lot of traditional offenses do," Hoiberg said. "I love versatile guys and Dustin certainly fits that mold."
The high school duo of Morris and Thomas arrives in Ames with much fanfare. They join Niang as top-100 high school recruits during the Hoiberg era.
Morris, a 6-2 point guard out of Flint, Mich., was one of the top point guard recruits in the nation at Beecher High School. As a senior, "Man-Man" averaged 23.8 points and 8.8 assists on his way to earning the state of Michigan's Mr. Basketball Award.
Thomas, a 6-3 guard from Onalaska, Wis., earned a No. 51 rating from ESPN. The sharpshooter brings good size and a knack for scoring the basketball. As a senior, Thomas averaged 28.3 points while shooting 50.4 percent from the field. He shot 35.8 percent from behind the arc and 82.9 percent from the charity stripe.
"I'm pleased with what I've seen this summer from Matt and Monté," Hoiberg said. "Both guys have a lot of potential. They've got some growing pains to get through, but they've gotten better every week and that is very important."
The Frontcourt
While the backcourt is a work in progress, Hoiberg can rest easy with his options in the post.
Hoiberg will lean heavily on Ejim and Niang, who are both coming off successful 2012-13 seasons and are proven leaders on the team. The duo is one of just two post tandems in the Big 12 returning after both averaged double figures a year ago.
The mobility and basketball IQ of Ejim and Niang allows Hoiberg to do exactly what he wants to do with his offense.
"We love to play fast and with Georges and Melvin you have two guys that can do that," Hoiberg said. "Not a lot of bigs are used to guarding the actions that we run. They are great at reading when to set a ball screen, when to roll, when to pop or when to dribble handoff. They are two guys that just get it. They understand the game. When your big guys have the IQ they do it makes it very difficult to guard."
Ejim, a 6-6 forward from Toronto, Ontario, showed tremendous growth as a junior. He averaged a career-high 11.3 points and led the Big 12 in rebounding (9.3 rpg) and double-doubles (15) in earning All-Big 12 Third-Team accolades.
"Melvin was great for us last season," Hoiberg said. "Leading the league in rebounding and double-doubles is a heck of an accomplishment for someone that is 6-6. He has really improved his shot this summer while playing on Canada's World University Games team. He was very successful on that team and we expect that will carry over."
Niang's great freshman campaign came to the forefront of the college basketball world in the NCAA Tournament when he went 9-for-13 from the field to score a game-high 19 points against Notre Dame. It wasn't as though Niang went unnoticed during the regular season, however, as the crafty 6-7 forward averaged 12.1 points and earned a spot on the Big 12 All-Rookie Team.
Niang, a Methuen, Mass., native, spent the summer improving his body composition and Hoiberg believes he'll be even better as a sophomore.
"Georges is returning as a sophomore that I thought was as good as any big guy in the league during the conference portion of last season's schedule," Hoiberg said. "His body has improved and he has dropped some weight. He's a guy that we will lean on a lot. You'll see us run a lot of offense through him because of what he can do with the ball in his hands, as well as away from the ball."
No player has reaped the benefits of the addition of Sadler to the Iowa State coaching staff like junior Percy Gibson.
After a promising freshman season, the 6-9 center plateaued a bit as a sophomore. Gibson contributed 4.5 points and 2.6 rebounds off the bench but saw his field goal percentage dip from 65.6 percent to 49.2 percent. Hoiberg has seen the rewards of Gibson's summer work with Sadler and expects him to be a contributor as a junior.
"Percy has had a really good offseason and our hope is that will benefit him this winter," Hoiberg said. "He has been really focused and has been working hard with Doc, who he connected with very quickly, and is in much better shape than he was a year ago."
Iowa State has one newcomer in the post in junior college transfer Daniel Edozie, a product of Tyler J.C. (Texas). Edozie brings his 6-8, 235-pound frame to Ames and provides another option in the post for Hoiberg.
"Daniel is a tough and physical presence in the post and I think he has a chance to be a very good defender for us," Hoiberg said.
