The Legacy Of Duffy LivingstoneWritten by on September 1, 2009 Contributors: Steve Shaw, Duffy Livingstone Collection Racing By His Own Rules
Duffy Livingstone will always be remembered as the father of the Go Kart. This story, however, is about Duffy the hot rodder, a card carrying member of the NHRA Charter Club (#156) and the Pasadena Roadster Club.
For some hot rodders it wasn't all dragstrips, dry lakes, and the Salt-a few ventured into road racing: "Land Speed Racing kinda scared me," says Duff. "I liked sporty car racing instead."
Duffy made such an impact in the Fifties road racing his Ford Model T, you only had to mention his name in those circles and some cultured noses went in the air. Duffy blew their doors off on a shoestring in his '25 roadster that caused those noses to get bent out of shape.
In 1926, when Duffy was 1 year old, he moved from Springfield, Illinois to Pasadena, California. When I asked Duffy if he grew up in Pasadena he laughed. "No, I lived in Pasadena; I never grew up."
Duffy's first car was a "bone-stock Model T 4-door sedan. I paid $12 for it from an old lady from Pasadena. Actually I had $8 in it and my buddy Dick Van De Veere (whom I've known since 2nd grade) had $4. It had been on blocks for years. The motor was frozen up when we got it, so we towed it and slammed it into gear, which broke the motor loose. It ran fine from then on."
After the T was sold, Duff didn't own another car until World War II ended. Duffy walked or rode his bike to school since he only lived three blocks away. "I kinda liked my bike and was riding it when the War started. I went in March of '42."
Having survived flying missions over the South Pacific, Duffy was discharged in '46 and returned to Pasadena. No more walking for Duffy-he wanted a hot rod. The one he purchased, you might say, led him into the muffler business.
"A guy named Dave "Mitch" Mitchell had a Deuce roadster for sale and I bought it from him. He owned Mitchell's Roadster Shop in Pasadena, by the Rose Bowl, and after I bought the roadster I went to work for him and learned how to weld there. We were replacing a lot of four-bangers with Ford Flathead V-8s in roadsters. Dave later changed the business to Mitchell Mufflers."
"I built Mitchell's first glasspack muffler," stated Duffy. "Originally, mufflers were packed with steel and eventually the material deteriorated. Some liked the rapping sound, but the noise grated on most people after awhile. When Mitchell started making mufflers he bought the casings and cores and the endcaps from Porter Muffler in LA, and we'd put the glass in the mufflers. The first glasspack mufflers didn't work out. The resin melted. We used the same fiberglass like you put on the hood of a car. The stuff would blow out the back of the muffler and if you were following too close behind, you'd start to itch," laughed Duffy.
"In '48, we started using what they called roving fiberglass [a high-strength, coarsely-woven fabric used in all phases of fiberglass molding] which was the remains of a continuous strand of fiberglass. We'd wrap that around the core."
"We made $66 off our first customer. A dual exhaust job was $49.50. That included splitting the manifold on a Chevy-6. We were only there a year because they sold the building. We then moved to Monrovia to what used to be a gas station and changed the name to GP Muffler. We were making glasspack mufflers. We'd write on a bill of sale GP for glasspacks or SP for steelpacks."
The Eliminator
"Jay Chamberlain (who later became a Formula One competitor) used to hang out at our muffler shop and had a T that he got from Emil Diedt and he wanted to unload it. I got the T and approached a guy named Paul Parker who had a Merc engine. I did the work on the car, Parker supplied the engine. Diedt built the nose out of steel (hammered it and the hood)."
It was just a frame, a nose and the body. We started working on it. Paul's motor was a 3/8x3/8 Merc with a Potvin Eliminator cam (bored and stroked an additional 1/8-inch for more cubic inches) that we put in the roadster. It was a horrible-looking thing when we first built it. The first paint job was pink. I mixed some red primer and gray primer and it came out pink. I named the T the Eliminator after the Potvin cam."
Flights Cancelled Today
Santa Barbara and Palm Springs, California, were sleepy little towns in the Fifties; consequently their airports were sparsely used. So on certain weekends their vast expanse of concrete was the perfect place to hold amateur road racing events. The California Sports Car Club put on sports car races there, throwing in a few hay bales to outline the course and some snow fencing to keep the spectators reasonably safe.
"I borrowed Don Blair's trailer in '52 or '53 and towed the T to Palm Springs to the airport course. I was lucky the damn thing even started. I entered a bunch of races before I got the T to handle."
Such a Deal
"Paul got married and that took him out of the picture, plus I blew his Flathead Merc. So I got a '55 Chevy V-8 engine from a Chevy dealer. In those days Chevy dealers made it so the warranty engines they removed were made useless. They would crank the pistons down and break the skirt off of each one, then take a hammer and hit the front of the crank where the pulley goes on to put a flat spot on the corner, and they poked a hole in the side of the block. They'd sell them for $25."
Duffy filed the front of the crank, bought some Jan's pistons and welded up the hole in the side of the block. Tim's Precision Engines balanced and bored the 265 to 283 cubic inches. Duff scrounged some Chevy truck heads for $30 and Tim put bigger valves in them. He threw in a Shaffer aluminum flywheel, a three carburetor manifold for Carter carbs which Duffy modified to hold 97s, and he had a screaming V-8.
"All the foreign cars had all those fancy names: Testarossa, Scuderia Ferrari (Ferrari Stable) and so on. So I added Tihsepa to the Eliminator name when I dropped in the Chevy. I never told them what it stood for. It blew me away; it took them about three months to figure it out. I hear through the grapevine they were going over the entry blanks when they got to Tihsepa and the guy figured out what it meant by spelling it backwards. I had to remove the Tihsepa part. Now there's a Tihsepa kart club."
Everybody was running torsion bars at Indy so Duffy got a set and mounted them on the rear when he put the Chevy in it. "I didn't know what I was doing," says Duff. "I went to Pomona and it ran beautifully down the straight (the Pomona Drag Strip part of the road course) but I had to tippy-toe through the corners. It wasn't cornering very good.
"When I got it home, I was trying to figure out what was wrong with it. I put a jack under one framerail. I could only raise it an inch and a half and it would pick up the inside wheel off the ground. So I ended up putting a '40 Ford spring in the back and I moved the spring back a foot behind the axle to clear the quick-change rearend. It was the best thing I ever did to the car. I put four Ford Houdaille shocks on the back end. At the time they were adjustable. With that I could jack up the framerail 6 inches and it wouldn't lift the wheel off the ground. After that it cornered like it was on 'rails."
Pomona's Big One
Back in the Fifties and Sixties, the big attraction at Pomona (besides the drags) was the Pomona Sports Car Races held on the same fairgrounds. The track was two miles long with 7 turns. The dragstrip was the back straight and at the south end of the strip was a left-hand turn. Turn 2 was another left-hander immediately after going under the bridge (leading into the Fairgrounds off McKinley Avenue) and so on until going into Turn 7 at the north end of the dragstrip to complete one lap.
It was a big deal-a very big deal-when the Los Angeles Herald Examiner newspaper held a truly international event on the fairgrounds on March 8, 1959. Celebrated Formula One drivers from Europe came to compete in the FIA and (USAC) United States Auto Club Championship.
European aces like English 24 Hour Le Mans winner Roy Salvadori, Formula One competitor Maurice Trintignant from France, and Count Wolfgang von Tripps from Germany added to the international breadth of the field. "I remember Trintignant showed up at Pomona with a police escort with sirens and lights on," says Duffy.
Local drivers who would become international driving stars were also in the race, such as Dan Gurney piloting Frank Arciero's 4.9L Ferrari, Ken Miles in a Porsche Spyder, Jim Hall driving a Lister Corvette and Carroll Shelby driving a 5.7L Maserati.
USAC heavyweights Jerry Unser in Mickey Thompson's Kurtis-Pontiac, Jim Rathmann wheeling a Ferrari, Tony Bettenhausen in a Ferrari Monza, and Lloyd Ruby represented the boys from the Indy 500 league. Fellow hot rodder turned road racer Max Balchowsky drove his Ol' Yeller to round out the field.
Rubbing Elbows
"I entered the Examiner Grand Prix because I knew I wouldn't make the race. They had the top cars from all over the U.S. plus they had Formula One drivers from Europe competing. I thought I can go out there race day, Saturday, and get 25 gallons of free fuel, a case of oil and a quart of brake fluid. Take a couple of laps, go home, drain the fuel, set the oil on the shelf, go back Sunday and get another 25 gallons of fuel, the oil, and the brake fluid."
Tech inspections were held in Hollywood the week before. Duffy ran his car through inspection primarily to get his pit pass. But Duff had an ulterior motive. He gave the pass to his friend who worked at a photo lab. "He cranked off a few for my buddies. I thought that my buddies and I could sit in the infield and watch the race...rub elbows with the big wheels," laughed Duffy.
"I went out and qualified 19th fastest and the Eliminator was in the field. I out-qualified Jim Hall (Lister Corvette), Wolfgang Von Tripps (the Ferrari Formula One ace was killed at Monza Italy in '61), and Maurice Trintignant."
That impressive qualifying run of Duffy's was only 6 mph slower than Dan Gurney and 5 mph off the winner Ken Miles in a Porsche Spyder.
"The car overheated during the race. I pulled into the pits half-way and I was in 8th place at the time. I wondered if I should go out again, but I put water in it, went out and finished the race. I got 11th overall and 6th in my class. I won six hundred bucks," laughed Duff.
After relocating shops a couple more times, Duffy finally retired and relocated to Grants Pass, Oregon, with his wife Dee, where he can fly model planes, tend to his garden on his 7 acres, and take care of abused dogs that have been rescued. He was invited to Australia over the winter to go kart racing. He crashed, but mended faster than most.
Duffy Livingstone's success as a road racer is an appropriate complement to his success in go kart racing and in putting a lot of people behind the (butterfly) wheel.
They were the Snake and the Mongoose of road racing, but ithere was not a lot of love lost between Duffy and Ferrari owner/racer John von Neumann. While running in the heat race at the Santa Barbara airport course, Duffy encountered the Ferrari driven by von Neumann: "Turn 1 was pretty hairy at the start of the race," recalled Duffy, "it skinnied down to two cars, and later on in the race you could just get one car through there. At the start of the race I was on the outside of a blown MG and I was watching the telephone pole, when out of the corner of my eye comes a silver Ferrari. He hit me right in front of the left rear tire at about a forty-five-degree angle. My tire hit the quarter panel of the Ferrari. I went up on my two front wheels as I was coming to the next sharp right hand corner, and as I cranked the steering, the rear end came down on top of his hood. The front of that Ferrari from the windshield forward was destroyed. My header pipe was dented on the left side and somehow it pushed the door kinda close to the steering wheel, but it didn't bother me. I continued on for another lap to feel the car out and it felt OK so I got on it and got a 5th in the race.
"After the race, I was in the pits and I got a big ol' hammer and I was pounding on the pushed-in door. On the Model T that door didn't open, but I cut it so that it did open. Two of von Neumann's pit men were standing about one row back, because there was a big crowd around the car. I turned to my brother and I said, 'Any a-hole can go out and buy a new Ferrari nowadays but these Model T doors are hard to come by. That got back to von Neumann. He never spoke to me much, and after that he never spoke to me at all!.
"At a later race, von Neumann had spun the Ferrari and was sitting in the middle of the corner when I came upon him. I aimed right at him," Duff remembers, "I could see the terror in his face. Of course I missed him."
Dan Gurney on Duff
Dan Gurney drove a kart for Duffy during the beginning of Nassau Speed Weeks in 1959, and it almost cost Gurney his professional driving career. Duffy built the first track for karts in the U.S. on the Go-Kart Manufacturing facility in Azusa, a challenging 3/10-mile road course. "And 10 feet," chuckled Duff.
"I knew Duffy," began Dan Gurney, "and I got wind that they were going to have a kart race in Nassau during Speed Weeks. I was scheduled (June '59) to be there anyway racing. The fact it was going to be the biggest kart race ever with a $1,000 to win...yeah I wanted to be a part of it. It was a serious effort on my part. That's when I went to Duffy's kart track and worked with the stopwatch and got down to business with the same West Bend twin-engine kart I would be racing in Nassau. I was deadly serious about the whole thing. I started 28th and I worked my way up to 2nd place. I made a mistake, got a little too anxious to pass the guy that was leading and I lost it. I got out of the kart and a guy nailed me from behind. I did a summersault into the hay bales. I was afraid to look at my foot because I thought he took it off."
Gurney was scheduled to drive the Tipo 61 Birdcage Maserati at Nassau, but had to withdraw from the Governor's Trophy race because of his injury. Luckily for Dan he was in the process of leaving Ferrari and going to the BRM Formula One team, because his karting incident would not have sat well with Enzo.

That's Duffy (front and center) at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in 1938. Gordon Babb (R) owned Ace Model Shop in Pasadena where the first tether cars were created and Duffy worked. Popular Science Magazine shot this photo for a story on the gasoline-powered model cars. Babb began making special tires for the racers because the model airplane tires would rip to shreds.This beautiful 9-inch wooden model was built by Duffy in 1938. The hood was aluminum and the Offenhauser engine was made from a tin can. Note the nose and grille that Duffy crafted long before the Kurtis midget noses were fashioned after the War. In 1944, Frank Kurtis designed a pedal car for his 11-year-old son with a grille almost identical to the one Duffy had created in '38. "It was pretty scale," says Duff. "I made seventy-five cents a week working at the model shop while going to school.""I bought the `32 in 1945 for $400 from Dave Mitchell," says Duffy. "It had a Ford Flathead V8 in it when I got it that got at least 25 miles to a gallon. I filled the tank, drove it to San Diego, and drove it back home to Pasadena and later when I checked the tank it had at least two inches of fuel left in it. I pulled the Flathead Ford engine and put a box-stock Merc engine in it that I got out of the crate. Then I put a Cad in it."Duffy stuffed a 346 cubic inch `37 Cad engine and transmission in his Deuce. It had two big four-barrel Stromberg carburetors. What are the odds that at the same meet, S.C.T.A. President Ak Miller was also running a 1937 Cadillac V-8 with a speed listed at 120.16. You Ol' Yeller fans may be surprised to learn that Max Balchowsky, another road racer, also had a `32 Ford roadster with a flathead Cadillac before he went Buick Nailhead power in his Deuce. There obviously was something about the engine."I channeled it... Z'ed the frame," commented Duffy on his `32 with the Packard taillights. "I did some things to that car I'd never seen before or since. When you channel a body, you drop it down to the bottom of the frame; there is a gap on the top between the body and the framerail. I widened the top framerail to come out and touch the body and I boxed it all in. I built a set of hang-down pedals for the `32 from scratch. This was before anyone ever thought of doing something like that."Before the Chevy was dropped in, the Eliminator ran a Flathead: "I was running out of fuel on the top end. It ran beautifully going straight, but when I turned right the force would overcome the flow of fuel coming out of the carburetors and they would load up. Going left it ran fine so I tried building my own constant flow carburetion."Duffy took the float bowls and floats out, put an outlet on the other side of the carb and ran four lines to carry the overflow to the catch tank on the framerail. Duff installed an electric pump hooked to the catch tank, pumping the fuel back to the gas tank. "I didn't know what I was doing anyway," he admits.Skip Hudson was driving a Monza Ferrari in the Examiner race and sent Duffy this photo showing his front wheels about even with the Ferrari's rear wheels. Along with the photo came this note, "Here, you S.O.B.-this is just before you passed me. You went around me so fast that it was so embarrassing, I almost pulled over to the side and popped the hood to look like something was wrong with the car. Here I am driving a hand-built Ferrari and a damned Model T passes me." "Nothing could out-corner that thing", says Duff. "I could go around the outside of any car on the track. One thing is the rear tires I ran. I went to Voigt tire in El Monte. I wanted the widest drag slick they made which was 7 3/8 inches wide. They looked like steamroller tires in those days compared to the narrow sports car tires. Voigt used half crude and half gum rubber. I got them grooved a minimum one inch square and 1/8 inch deep that came out diamond shaped."The "fire system" is hanging on the dash; fuel cells didn't exit yet, and there's no scatter shield on his trans. Duff added the extra fuel tank in front of the passenger seat for the 200-mile race. Safety equipment was minimal when Duffy entered the Examiner Grand Prix in Pomona; fatalities were commonplace in the Fifties.This story is not about Duff's karting days but this experimental kart was like squeezing an Allison V-12 in a hot rod. Duffy had to trust the Austrian Puch 250cc two-stroke was scatter-proof for obvious reasons. "I've never heard of anyone before or since building a front engine kart," says Duff, "I removed the gears except for the top gear. We weren't allowed to have a gearbox in those days."
The good news: the was still ticking off the Ferrari and Maserati set on the race track when Brock Yates took it to the Monterey Historical Races in `97; "We pushed the T between two Ferraris to warm it up," reported Duffy. "Brock borrowed a couple of Ferrari mechanics to help him. This gal came out of the Ferrari trailer and looked at the T and said, "Why do they let this thing run against our cars, it isn't even aerodynamic?" She didn't spot the Japanese war helmet that I cut in half for air scoops to cool the front brakes. The funny thing is, during the race Bert Skidmore, driving the Eliminator, got behind both Ferraris and blew both of them off."The bad news: While the T can go out and play, it better not get real dirty or skinned up cause it's all spiffed up now and is involved in a new type of competition.This photo was taken at the 53rd Pebble Beach Concours d' Elegance as the Eliminator rolled up on stage winning its class with current car owner Brock Yates on the turtledeck and Duffy at the wheel.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Passenger use of Amtrak trains in Virginia continues to grow.
Gov. Bob McDonnell announced Wednesday that ridership on state-supported intercity has nearly doubled since 2009.
The governor's office says stations in suburban Richmond, Alexandria, Charlottesville, and Newport News are the busiest in Virginia.
Dedicated funding for Amtrak Virginia trains was included in McDonnell's 2013 transportation package to continue support for existing services and expanding passenger rail options.
McDonnell says Amtrak provides important transportation services and advances Virginia's economy.
The train initiated in October 2009 serves Lynchburg, Charlottesville, Culpeper, Manassas, Burke Centre, and Alexandria. The train initiated in July 2012 serves Richmond-Staples Mill, Ashland, Fredericksburg, Quantico, Woodbridge and Alexandria. And the train launched in December 2012 connects passengers from Norfolk to destinations north of the city.

Laura Cook - Head Coach - 15th Season - 131-106 Career Record
Head Coach Laura Cook has built the Sacred Heart women's lacrosse program into one of the top-teams year in and year out in the Northeast Conference. Cook is entering her 15th year on the Pioneer sidelines and has guided Sacred Heart to three Northeast Conference Championships in over the last six years. Having directed her teams to a 131 wins at SHU, Cook continues to have the Pioneers positioned as a perennial favorite in the NEC heading into 2014.
Cook has guided the Pioneers to seven double digit win seasons in the past 13 years (2010, 09, 2008, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2001) and 10 NEC Tournament appearances in her tenure. After the program's first-ever title run in 2008, Cook took the Pioneers back to the NEC Tournament in 2009 and successfully defended the championship on their home field. She and the Pioneers answered the bell once again in 2010 as SHU put together an unblemished 9-0 conference mark earning the #1 seed for the second-straight season. Sacred Heart became a three-time champion after defeating Quinnipiac for the third-straight season for the title, 12-7, on Campus Field.
After leading her team through a perfect regular season in 2010, Cook took home her second-consecutive NEC Coach of the Year honor, an award she has won three times (2010, 2009, 2006). The 2010 Pioneers finished the year with a school record 14 wins.
The recent magical run began in 2008 when Cook guided the Pioneers to a 7-1 NEC mark and a share of the NEC Regular Season Championship, a program first. SHU owned the #2 seed and went on the road to claim the 2008 title, beating the Bobcats with a thrilling 12-11 win at Quinnipiac for the program's first ever title. The 2009 season saw Cook earn her second Coach of the Year honor after leading her team to a 7-1 mark in the NEC, another share of the regular season title and the program's first ever #1 seed in the NEC Tournament.
Sacred Heart earned the right to play host to the four-team postseason tournament and SHU mirrored their 2008 run with a win over Monmouth in the semifinals, 13-7, and an 11-6 win over rival Quinnipiac in the Championship game. The Pioneers posted a then school record 12 wins on their way to the titles in both 2008 and 2009.
Her best coaching performance arguably came in 2006 when SHU battled back from a 0-7 start to rattle off seven wins in the final nine games of the regular season, including five-straight. The Pioneers finished with a 7-1 mark in NEC play, earning the second seed in the tournament and advancing to the NEC Championship game, a feat that earned Cook the 2006 NEC Coach of the Year award.
The 2009 season saw another first as senior attacker Amanda Williams was the first Pioneer to win the Northeast Conference Player of the Year award. With a break-out season, she emerged as the league's most prolific scorer leading the NEC with 57 goals and 80 points. Both marks set new single-season school Division I records and boosted her career totals to 136 goals and 179 points. Williams ranked 15th nationally in goals scored (57) and 14th in points (80) last season.
The Pioneers have had 41 All-Northeast Conference players under Coach Cook and has coached three of the Pioneers most prolific scorers in Mary Montesarchio, Williams and Hauser, all in the top-five all-time at SHU in points. Goalkeeper Ginny Capicchioni, a three-time All-NEC player, played for the coach in 2000 and 2001 and became the first female goalkeeper in the National Lacrosse League when she played for the New Jersey Storm in 2002.
The Media, Pennsylvania native came to Sacred Heart after a standout playing career at the University of Massachusetts, where she graduated in 1999 with a degree in exercise science. She was a four-year starter at UMass and ranks among the program's top ten in scoring, goals and assists.
During her senior season, she was named co-captain and was a preseason All-Atlantic 10 selection. She was also named to the 1999 A-10 Championship tournament team, 1999 Northeast Regional All-American and placed on the 1999 IWCLA Academic All-American team.
Cook along with her husband Andy and their son Cole reside in Fairfield, CT.

Our metropolitan setting informs the educational experience; the city of San Francisco functions as an urban laboratory, inspiring new ways to configure and inhabit architecture. Throughout their studies, students are encouraged to collaborate within and across disciplines to take full advantage of CCA's studio culture.
Lecture Series
The program actively seeks the participation of leading international figures for studio instruction, juried reviews, and an ambitious Architecture Division Lecture Series program.
Professional Internships
Through the required internship, students have the opportunity to work at architectural firms in the United States and abroad. Architecture Program students also regularly enter and place in design competitions.
About Accreditation & Licensure
In the United States, most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which is the sole agency authorized to accredit U.S. professional degree programs in architecture, recognizes three types of degrees: the bachelor of architecture, the master of architecture, and the doctor of architecture.
A program may be granted a six-year, three-year, or two-year term of accreditation depending on the extent of its conformance with established educational standards.
Doctor of architecture and master of architecture degree programs may consist of a preprofessional undergraduate degree and a professional graduate degree that, when earned sequentially, constitute an accredited professional education.
However, the preprofessional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.
CCA's NAAB-Accredited Degree Programs
Architecture Program (undergraduate or BArch): 165 credits required
Master of Architecture (graduate or MArch): non-preprofessional degree + 90 credits required
CCA's Architecture Program was granted a formal six-year term of re-accreditation, effective January 1, 2011. The Master of Architecture Program is fully accredited. (The next NAAB re-accreditation visit is scheduled for 2017.)

I am looking for assistance deploying Zimbra Outlook Connector 126.96.36.1993 using GPO.
1.) When installing using MSI from GPO it fails with following error.
> Calling the Windows Installer to install application APP from policy ZCL. The install of application APP from policy ZCL failed. The error was : %1605
Error description --->
ERROR_UNKNOWN_PRODUCT 1605 This action is only valid for products that are currently installed.
If you run the same MSI locally using msiexec /i ZimbraConnectorOLK_188.8.131.523_x86.msi /quiet
it installs fine without any errors.
Any idea why would GPO installation fail with 1605?
2.) The MSI comes up as having Arabic Language. I know some people suggested going to MSI with orca and deleting everything except 1033 from Language field - but I did that and it still seems to be coming up as arabic for some strange reason. Any idea how that can be fixed?
Thank you for your help.

Testimony :: Statement of Hon. Ben Nighthorse Campbell
Co-Chairman - Helsinki Commission
Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe
Hearing on: "Kosovo's Displaced and Imprisoned"
February 28, 2000
Dramatic developments in Kosovo are once again hitting the headlines. Renewed violence in
Kosovo brings new threats to peace in the region, and a new challenge for the United States and its
friends and allies who are trying to maintain peace in that extremely difficult environment.
I remain deeply concerned about the situation there. I recently visited Kosovo and heard from our
military personnel based there about what they are being tasked to do. I learned that it is virtually
impossible for many people in Kosovo to carry on even the basic routines of everyday life. People
from one group or another, depending on where in Kosovo you look, cannot leave their homes
without military escort, for fear of being attacked by those from another group. Others cannot even
get back to their homes, which, I understand, is the basis for the current standoff in the north. And,
of course, some cannot leave the prisons of Serbia.
Other solutions need to be found, rather than simply deploying more forces to stand between angry
crowds. Such a deployment alone does little to address the legitimate grievances of many of the
people, from all ethnic groups, and it likewise does little to stop the human rights violations which
take place with virtual impunity. People need to get out of the refugee camps and prisons and get
back to their homes as soon as possible.
I look forward to hearing from Ambassador Menzies what the Administration plans to do in Kosovo
this year, and the views and suggestions of our expert panel. I hope, that by focusing on these
issues, the Helsinki Commission will contribute to the formulation of sound policies in Kosovo.
While our focus today is on the human dimension of Kosovo we must not lose sight of the security
and economic dimensions of the situation in Kosovo. Corruption has been identified as one of the
major obstacles to OSCE efforts in Bosnia and I understand that organized crime elements are
extremely active in Kosovo and elsewhere in Serbia. The prospects for democracy, human rights
and the rule of law in Kosovo are not promising and the approaching spring could usher in more
conflict in this troubled part of the OSCE region.

Sorry for my English
But I don't understand about multidomain ssl certificates.
For example I have installed ZCS (firstdomain.com) - all works fine with comercial SSL certificate. I can without any problem get & send my mail from Zimbra web and with any mail client help. MX for this domain mail.firstdomain.com - 18.104.22.168.
Now I need add second domain (seconddomain.com) - MX mail.seconddomain.com 184.108.40.206. I do it from web interface. When log in to web (https:\\firstdomain.com) email@example.com and send or get mail - all right. But if I use mail client for seconddomain.com (thunderbird) - it not work.
I need two (or more) different domains with different comercial SSL. And use for one mail.firstdomain.com for second mail.seconddomain.com.
I hope you understand me.
How I can resolve this issue?
I looked it SSL certificates per domain - Zimbra :: Wiki.
But If run
I get error:Code:/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmproxyconfig -m -w -e -x both -H `zmhostname`
Error: proxy mail mode both is invalid when SSL to upstream is enabled

I bought this bag/backpack so I could take my own gear with me to Mexico for a dive trip my buddy and I planned. It would be much easier to haul my gear in this than the hard box I normally use in the states. I ordered this from you my buddy chose to purchase one from a local store that sells dive equipement. We hadnt even made it to our first boat dive and he had already ripped one of the handles basically off of the bag due to the weight. This made me examine the bag more closely and upon comparison the canvas, draw string and reinforcement was far superior to the bag he purchased that was made by another manufacture.

These were sort of an experiment I was not very happy with the gloves I was using because it was very difficult to work zippers on my BCD and get items out of pockets. Even clearing my ears was sometimes difficult because of the limited space on my mask next to my nose for my fingers. I Wanted gloves that would offer protection from accidental cuts and scrapes. Keep my hands warm within reason and give me more dexterity. These did all of that. Thanks Mike from Bakersfield CA

I am not a fan of purge valve masks but my wife when taking her open water class was a bit apprehensive about clearing a traditional mask. We tried a different brand of mask with a purge valve and it was not nearly a comfortable and also limited her field of vision. This mask did not. I recommend this mask to anyone considering a mask with a purge valve. Mike from Bakersfield Ca

1987-1990 BMW 325i, 1988-1991 325iX 57i Performance Induction Kit
- Guaranteed to Provide more HP and Increased Acceleration;Engineered to Specific Vehicle Design
- Works with Original Equipment Manufacturer Computer Systems;Designed to use Factory Holes & Mounting Points Whenever Possible
- Replaces OEM Filter and Air Box
- Million Mile Limited Warranty; Non CARB Exempt (49 State Only) - Not For Sale in CA
Mfg Part # : 57-0070
K&N 57i Performance Induction Kits
- Designed to Increase HP and Acceleration
- Engineered to Specific Vehicle Design
- Easy to Install, Usually in 90 minutes or less!
- Lasts up to 100,000 Miles Before Service is Required (depending on driving conditions)
- Million Mile Limited Warranty
- Replaces OEM Filter and Air Box
- Air Filter is Washable and Reusable
- Works with Original Equipment Manufacturer Computer Systems
- Street legal in most states (not street legal in CA - Check part number or vehicle listing for specific CARB status)
As with all of K&N's kits, when you bolt-on a 57i intake, you will notice the difference the next time you drive your vehicle. The 57i Gen I Intake Kits are a great way and in many cases the only way to maximize airflow and engine performance. They will replace the factory air box providing both High-Flow air filter technology and a larger air filter size. This winning combination will increase horsepower and sound great too.
57i Series Intake Kits are specifically designed for each different vehicle and will free your car from the size restriction that comes with the factory air box. These economical kits can take a variety of different forms based on vehicle characteristics and available space under the hood. Each kit is designed to provide power throughout the RPM range. Gen I's take advantage of the added airflow provided by an oversized air filter released from the restrictive factory air box..
These kits bring engine airflow out of the factory box by providing a large size open-air conical or round High-Flow Air Filter. The extra surface area of these open-air air filters provide even more airflow at lower restriction than a K&N O/E replacement filter which is always limited to the size of the factory air box. The larger air filter also captures and holds more dirt increasing its service life before a cleaning is required (up to 100,000 miles). The filter is then either directly attached to the engine carburetor or throttle body or indirectly through a tube assembly running from the filter to the engine. All adaptors are made from high quality materials such as steel, aluminum, silicon or reinforced nylon and ensure long life.
57i Intakes are not legal for use in California and other US States adopting California emission standards.
About K&N Parts & Accessories
K&N Engineering, of Riverside, California, is the inventor and leading innovator of reusable cotton gauze filter technology for automotive applications. Today, K&N exists as both the sales and brand leader for performance filters, and maintains a stocking catalogue of over 3,500 part numbers, including an extensive line of both factory replacement drop-in filters, FIPK (Fuel Injection Performance Kit) applications, and its line of innovative Performance Gold oil filters.

Super Bowl super busy for area businesses
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- It may be the Recovery Sports Grill's first Super Bowl in Charleston, but the management is pretty sure how the night's going to go.
"Since this is a new location, we're going to be incredibly busy," General manager John Darling said. "We're anticipating a full capacity crowd and a full bar."
The restaurant, which opened last fall, has 57 TV screens and the majority -- if not all of them -- will be set to watch the San Francisco 49ers go head-to-head with the Baltimore Ravens in Super Bowl XLVII at 6:30 p.m. Sunday on CBS.
The restaurant plans to do a lot of dine-in business, but also as much or more takeout for Super Bowl parties, Darling said.
Recovery is known for its chicken wings but the hand-dipped tenders, ribs, wraps and nachos are also popular, Darling said.
Like Recovery, Adelphia Sports Bar & Grille expects to be busy Sunday evening, Tracy Abdalla, general manager, said.
"It's like a holiday almost," he said of the Super Bowl. "People come in but we do a good amount of carry out -- everybody has a Super Bowl party."
The Greek-inspired restaurant plans to sell a lot of wings as well as burgers and salads.
As with any big sporting event, Abdalla plans to have a couple more people working. He does the same when West Virginia University games are on.
"(Sunday evening) will be no different," he said.
Super Bowl Sunday is also a busy time for pizza chains.
The Domino's Pizza on Charleston's East End typically does 75 percent more business on that Sunday compared to others, Manager Frank Denman said.
Add the snow that hit the region this week and Denman expects twice as much business as a typical Sunday. The store typically has three or four delivery drivers but will have eight on the road Sunday evening, Denman said.
"We have every employ available working and we're even trying to borrow a couple from other stores," he said.
Between 5 and 7 p.m. Sunday, the Denman expects the store to deliver 300 pizzas an hour.
"It's controlled chaos, but it is a blast," Denman said. "It's one of the (most fun) days to work."
Restaurants are not alone with seeing an influx in business that goes hand-in-hand with the Super Bowl. Grocery stores see their share of busy business Super Bowl weekend, too.
This year, Super Bowl weekend combined with the first of the month and a heavy snow fall on Saturday to make a "perfect storm" for the Foodland on Spring Street in Charleston.
Around 12:30 p.m. Saturday, the snow had started falling and people were packing into the store.
"(During snow) it'll stay busy until it gets dark," Manager Jeff Haynes said. "And then people don't want to go out after it gets dark."
Popular food for the Super Bowl include frozen pizza, wings, chips and dip as well as the store's party trays of cheese and crackers or veggies.
Beer is another big seller.
"You can't buy alcohol until 1 p.m. on Sundays and you'll get people in here at 9 a.m. trying to buy it," Haynes said.
Cris Spradling, of Mink Shoals, shopped for some game day snacks with his twin sons Cameron and Ethan, both 16.
"(Their) mom is doing some grocery shopping and we came to get a couple things for the game," Spradling said. The three had picked up a veggie tray and chips.
They aren't planning a party, Spradling said.
"We'll probably just have some snacks while the game is on," he said.
The Foodland bakery made Super Bowl-inspired sweets for the big game. Customers can choose from 49ers or Ravens cakes and cookies. The bakery has been making the treats for about a week.
Betty Nester, a decorator at the bakery, said the cakes are very popular.
"We had one lady come in and buy 12 at a time," Nester said.

Harry had to, of course, mention the ubiquitous pool story we all know and love (or not). He also asks Ana about the competition on the WTA Tour right now (read: the Williams sisters), her relationship with the other Serbs, and her goals for the season.
Oh, she looks great too - no fussy makeup or big hair. I so heart NaturAna.

okay im sooo lost what swimming pool story tell me!!!ReplyDelete
anon: if i must repeat it...ana always talks and is asked about growing up in serbia where there was really no tennis tradition. she always discusses how she and many of the kids had to practice in an empty swimming pool since there weren't many facilities.ReplyDelete
they weren't allowed to hit wide serves or cross court shots because they're opponent might run into the side.

Additional Campus Responsibilities
- Advisor of Inkwell, the college's literary magazine
- Writing Director for the college
I have taken two research trips to Ireland to better understand the bardic tradition that is so much a part of their history and heritage, and to take harp lessons from experts there. Because of this consuming passion and all I've learned read and studied since, I am writing a series of performance pieces and a novel based on the era when the druidic and bardic schools flourished together.
I have five children, ages 20 to 32, seven grandchildren, and a husband who is a professor of English at Martin Luther College in New Ulm, Minnesota.
Firmly Held Beliefs about Writing and the Teaching of It
I believe that all students can learn to write works that matter to others and may move hearts and effect change.
I believe that those who learn to think and write well almost invariably become the true leaders in almost every organization, institution, community, and church—and that they are also the ones most likely to affect significant change, especially beyond their own spheres of immediate influence.
I believe writing well can be as hard and frustrating as any time-consuming worthwhile endeavor (such as becoming an Olympic athlete or an opera star) but also as delightful and satisfying as any everyday, easy-going hobby (such as playing chess or driveway basketball), and I believe that only by writing a lot and challenging yourself more and more will you finally get to experience the same kind of deep satisfaction dedicated athletes and musicians experience when they go beyond "just doing the assignment."
I believe that when God used humble men to write down His words through inspiration in the Bible and called Jesus our Savior the Word Incarnate, in part he wanted us to realize how powerful words can be in our humble hands. Useful both for good and evil purposes, unfortunately. Written language is an amazing gift from our Creative God who has created us creative in his own image. As sanctified sons and daughters of the King with the King living in us, we can use words for his glory and directly benefit the kingdom of God on earth or simply hearten, inspire, embolden, and move others by using our unique and "peculiar" voices which can't help but be the voice of blood-bought children of God. What a humbling opportunity…what a divine responsibility!
Finally, I believe if you really want to become effective writers and thinkers, I can help you make great strides this semester, but only if you agree to be self-disciplined and coachable. To be a maturing student of life and writing, the two greatest qualities you need in abundance are, in my opinion, humility and persistence. Keep assuming you know only in part and see through a glass darkly. Ask questions, and rewrite over and over, assuming you need help and can gain valuable insights from all sorts of experts and simple people everywhere, even children, and always turning in assignments on time and trying to hold yourself to high standards of excellence in content and style. Do that and I promise you'll be succeeding in my course when others, perhaps even those smarter and more experienced than you at writing but not as humble and persistent, will be floundering.
"Imagination is the greatest gift God has given us and it ought to be devoted entirely to Him."
Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest

Robot named da Vinci draws them in
Sharp Chula Vista makes surgical device available so young visitors can learn
CHULA VISTA Sitting at the da Vinci Si surgical console at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, Victor Solis' brow was furrowed, but his manner was nonchalant. Peering into the view finder, each hand gripping an EndoWrist instrument, he deftly navigated the task before him: pick up minute rubber bands and place each on top of small colored cones laid out in a maze.
The 10-year-old boy who says he wants to be a doctor someday handled the $1.5 million surgical robot like it was a plaything.
"It's easy," said Victor, a fourth grader at Calvary Christian Academy in Chula Vista, after completing the simulation exercise during the second annual Robotics Day at the hospital. "It feels like a video game."
Victor is one of about 140 students in Chula Vista who belong to the Smart Mind Robotics Club, an after school program that meets once a week at eight schools: Eastlake, Liberty, Wolf Canyon, Calvary, Discovery, Allen, Feaster and Sunnyside. He was one of about 60 club members who participated last Saturday in the second annual Robotics Day at the Chula Vista hospital.
Students learned about robotic surgery from Sharp physicians and other hospital employees. Like Victor, they were able to simulate a real procedure on an operating console, among other activities.
Baltazar Perez, an engineer, started Smart Mind Robotics at Liberty Elementary in 2011 after test driving the curriculum on his two sons, then in third and sixth grades. Initially, he thought they and their peers might be too young to understand the math and computer science concepts needed, but he soon learned otherwise.
"There are middle school and high school teams, but nobody had tapped into elementary kids," said Perez. "They enjoy building things and programming and the interest for robotics comes easy for them."
Club activities are designed to help students learn and practice mechanical engineering, sensor technology, computer science, electrical engineering, mechatronics (using motors to perform movements), math and team work. Besides weekly meetings at school, Smart Mind goes on some field trips. In June, the club is heading to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena to see how the Mars rover Curiosity was created.
"One of the things that I strive to do is show the kids that there are a lot of robotics involved in a lot of different industries," Perez said.
Last December, a Smart Mind team participated at the FIRST Lego League Robotics Tournament at Legoland in Carlsbad. The Chula Vista students were among hundreds of elementary and middle school competitors from across Southern California tasked with building custom robots that would improve the quality of life for seniors by helping them continue to be independent, engaged and connected to their communities.
The Smart Mind team got its inspiration from a club member's grandfather who agreed to be interviewed about the challenges he faces as a senior citizen. He told them keeping track of the medications he needs to take every day was a problem.
The team came up with a pill dispenser that could be loaded at the pharmacy and programmed to dole out the correct medicines. The creation included a dual notification system — a beeping necklace and an automated cellphone text — to remind the senior it was time to take his medicine.
"It is amazing that in a day's time interviewing this grandfather, we all got together and drew pictures and all the details," Perez said. "All the technology is available now. You could patent it."
Perez reached out to Sharp Chula Vista last year for a robotics event. The hospital did its first robotics surgery, a prostatectomy, in 2010, and has done nearly 600 procedures since.

The Denver Museum of Nature & Science has sixteen PhD curators that are making real scientific discoveries and are leading active research in the field and lab.
Museum scientists study the history, evolution, and diversity of the universe, the Earth, and its inhabitants. We make new discoveries and share them with our communities through presentation, publication, and programming.
The Museum is home to the last grizzly that lived in Colorado, the world's largest rhodochrosite crystal discovered in a silver mine near Alma, a Triceratops skull unearthed by construction crews digging a basement in Brighton, and more than 1.4 million other irreplaceable artifacts.
In October 2010, a bulldozer operator working near a Colorado ski area uncovered the tusk of a young female mammoth. Over the next 10 months, the Denver Museum of Nature & Science conducted its largest-ever fossil excavation, yielding a treasure trove of well-preserved Ice Age fossils. Museum crews uncovered 5,000 bones of 41 kinds of Ice Age animals, including mammoths, mastodons, ground sloths, camels, deer, horses, and giant bison. The preserved series of Ice Age fossil ecosystems is one of the most significant fossil discoveries ever made in Colorado. This discovery at Ziegler Reservoir near Snowmass Village will change forever our understanding of alpine life in the Ice Age.
The Denver Museum of Nature & Science has an active research program and authors a variety of publications.
The library's collection focuses on anthropology, earth sciences, health sciences, space sciences, zoology, the Rocky Mountain West, and museum studies.

|Reports of domestic violence in N.E. Colo. up 42%
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Domestic violence programs serving victims in northeast Colorado announced recently that nationally there has been a 42 percent increase in domestic violence reports and a 25 percent increase in the reported incidence of rape and sexual assault in the past year.
In a poll conducted by the Center for Advancement of Women, Perils & Progress: New Agenda for Women, women ranked reducing domestic violence and sexual assault highest among nearly all other priorities. Men have joined women in this growing concern about gender-based violence.
If you are being abused, or know someone who is being abused and do not know how to help them, contact one of the three community-based domestic violence programs that serve battered women and their children in northeast Colorado. These programs are SHARE, Inc. in Fort Morgan; Help for Abused Partners in Sterling; and New Directions in Yuma.
Bilingual services (English and Spanish) available through these programs include crisis intervention, safety planning, individual counseling, court advocacy and help with protective orders. Both SHARE and Help for Abused Partners have emergency shelters, transitional housing, support groups and children's programs. SHARE also has a Safe Haven supervised visitation and safe exchange program.
The three programs collaborate to make sure all victims in the six-county area of Phillips, Morgan, Logan, Sedgwick, Washington and Yuma counties can receive the level of services they need.
Emergency funds are available to help with the cost of travel necessary to stay in shelter, go to court or attend support group. Financial assistance is also available for other emergencies related to domestic abuse, such as payment of rent, utilities and some other expenses not covered by Victims Compensation.
Things you can do to help:
—When you file your taxes, you can easily use the tax check-off program to make a voluntary contribution to the state's Domestic Abuse Assistance Fund which helps support community based domestic violence programs.
—Contribute directly—write a check to your local program. Your donation is tax deductible.
—Volunteer. Contact your local office for information on the next training for volunteer advocates.
—Find out what is on the wish list of things women and children need while they stay in the shelter and help provide for these needs.
For more information, contact SHARE, Inc., Fort Morgan, 970-867-4444 or toll free, 1-888-867-9590; Help for Abused Partners, Sterling, 970-522-2307; or New Directions, Yuma, 970-848-3867. Help is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The National Domestic Violence Hotline number is 1-800-SAFE (7233) or 1-800-787-3224 (TTY). SHARE also has a website with news, information and resources at www.sharemorgancounty.com.

Fire Department Investigates False Alarms At School
Le Mars Fire Department Responds To False Alarms At School
(Le Mars) -- Over a twelve hour time span, the Le Mars Fire and Rescue Department was called to the Le Mars Community High School three separate times for what turned out to be a faulty alarm system that kept sounding. Fortunately, no fire was reported at any time. Fire officials first responded to the alarm on Friday afternoon at about 4:30 p.m. Le Mars High School girls' volleyball team was told to evacuate the building while fire officials investigated. The volleyball team sought refuge in the school's bus barn while officials investigated. The second alarm came in this morning at about 4:45 a.m. Within a half hour, the alarm once again was activated at the Le Mars Community High School sending fire officials to again investigate.

|Lady Dragons secure another Phillips Co. victory over Haxtun
|Written by Jes-C Brandt
Holyoke Lady Dragons pulled ahead early for a powerful win in their varsity game against Haxtun Friday, Jan. 16. The Bulldogs fought back in the final quarter, but their efforts weren't enough to steal the game.
Coach Scholl was pleased with the team's win against their cross-county rival, as well as their steady improvement throughout the season.
"We have been working on some specific skills this past week in our practices, and I saw some of these starting to improve," said Scholl. He also noted the game was more consistent than they have been in the past.
That consistency was seen in each of the first three quarters, when the Dragons held their opponents to the single digits.
The team's high scorers started fast, all sinking baskets in the first quarter. Maddie Starkebaum had 16 total for the game, scoring baskets in every quarter.
Phawn Carper was 100 percent behind the line and 80 percent for field goals, bringing her total to 10 points.
Scoring an additional 10 points for the Dragons was Katie Hoffner, and Marissa Smith added nine to the scoreboard for the home team. Hoffner and Smith were Holyoke's three-point shooters for the night, each scoring two of the team's four.
Haxtun's shooters proved to be no match for the Dragons at this ball game. The Bulldogs' 39 attempted field goals trailed Holyoke's by only 10, but the Dragons triumphed with accuracy. Only three Haxtun players successfully made baskets. High scorer was Macey Pierce, with 13 points.
The home team's discipline was especially noticeable in their rebounds. Starkebaum, once again led the team with an astounding nine rebounds.
Carper pulled down six, Smith had five and Nora Ann Roth contributed four. Nearly every player got under the basket for a rebound during the game, adding up to 35 for the Dragons over the Bulldogs' 27.
Free throws showed improved accuracy for both teams since their last Phillips County competition in Haxtun. The Lady Dragons hit eight of their 15 shots for 53 percent, with the Bulldogs making three of seven baskets for 43 percent.
Coach Scholl indicated the upcoming Sedgwick County game should be quite competitive, but hopes to see another victory for the Holyoke Lady Dragons.
