We arrived in New York, drove to the office notified us (agency) to pick up the keys to the apartment. The people were very nice. However, we had booked another apartment as we were then finally assigned (?). Although it was diagonally across from booked, but was probably slightly worse divided. But you could live with it. A disappointment there was still upon arrival at the apartment, as it is not cleaned and the beds were not freshly made (we had to wait an extra three hours so we can clean it!). After a few phone calls but then it has worked out the next day with the cleaning, we even washed the sheets, and then the beds. The location of the apartment is actually very good, if you take it apart it from 6:00 clock in the morning very loud (despite the 19th floor). The house is also a supermarket. All in all the stay was great, the people friendly and eager, though not everything has worked out the same. Jürgen
Wir kamen in New York an, fuhren zu dem uns benannten Büro (Agentur), um die Schlüssel für das Appartment abzuholen. Die Leute waren sehr nett. Allerdings hatten wir ein anderes Appartment gebucht als wir schließlich dann zugewiesen bekamen(?). Es lag zwar schräg gegenüber vom gebuchten, war aber wohl etwas schlechter aufgeteilt. Man konnte aber damit leben. Eine Enttäuschung gab es dann noch bei der Ankunft im Appartment, da es nicht gereinigt und die Betten nicht frisch bezogen waren (wir hatten extra drei Stunden warten müssen, damit wir es gereinigt übernehmen können!). Nach einigen Telefonaten hat es dann aber am nächsten Tag mit der Reinigung geklappt, die Bettwäsche haben wir selbst gewaschen und danach die Betten bezogen. Die Lage des Appartments ist eigentlich sehr gut, wenn man mal davon absieht, dass es ab 6.00 Uhr morgens sehr laut wird (trotz 19. Etage). Im Haus ist auch ein Supermarkt. Alles in allem war der Aufenthalt super, die Leute freundlich und bemüht, wenn auch nicht alles gleich geklappt hat.
Fine location. A lot of noice from the street, because of the windows
When host is using a another Company to hand out the key -please write that is cost extra to check in on weekends. And at the same time nice if you don't have to wait about 45 minutes to get the key. Even if you have given information about when you will arrive....
Hints for the Apartment. Some light at the beds and maybe some hooks to hang your jacket on.
When all this has been said - we had a ferfect and fanstastic week in NYC - great town.
Regards Tina
Apartment nice, clean, functional, and very well located for access to the various subway lines. Only flaw, the second chamber of the apartment has been carried out in the main room with a partition that is not full height (and therefore not sound insulated), and this room has no blackout as in the master bedroom.
Appartement agréable, propre, fonctionnel, et très bien situé pour l'accès aux différentes lignes de métro. Seul petit défaut, la deuxième chambre de l'appartement à été réalisée dans la pièce principale à l'aide d'une cloison qui n'est pas toute hauteur (donc non isolée phoniquement), et cette chambre n'a pas de rideaux occultants comme dans la chambre principale.
Flat and very central unfortunately very noisy at night from the photos, location, because it is a warehouse below the apartment
Wohnung wie auf den Fotos, Lage sehr zentral leider nachts sehr laut ,da sich eine Lagerhalle unter der Wohnung befindet
a very good and extremely well located apartment, most things to do within walking distance, metro very close, check over the weekend, however, costs just $ 40 extra! The supply of a sister organization for a cheap transfer from the airport is incorrect: a regular cab has a flat rate from the airport and is much cheaper than the supply for the airport shuttle: do not do it! Apartment is recommended, clean and well equipped, good beds!
een erg goed en buitengewoon gunstig gelegen appartement, meeste dingen op loopafstand te doen, metro ook erg dichtbij; inchecken tijdens het weekend kost echter zomaar 40 dollar extra! Ook het aanbod van een zusterorganisatie voor een voordelige transfer vanaf het vliegveld is onjuist: een gewone taxi heeft een flat rate vanaf het vliegveld en is veel goedkoper dan het aanbod voor de airport-shuttle: niet doen dus! Appartement is aan te raden, schoon en goed uitgerust, goede bedden!
We had a group of 9 People and we couldn't have asked for anything more! The apartment was clean and modern, the bedrooms were huge upstairs with walk in Wardrobes and the master bedroom had an ensuite. Each room had their own LCD TV mounted on the wall with cable channels.
It was still a little cold in April but the apartment was always warm and toasty. There was spare bedding and pillows for everyone if we needed. The appliances in the whole apartment were all top notch. We all washed and dried clothes & towels daily.
The location was walking distance from Times Square and the Rockefeller centre and very close to 5th Ave where all the shopping action is at.
I would definitely stay here again and would recommend this apartment to larger groups travelling to NYC.

We just have spent 5 days in New York in this apartment we had booked on the internet. While it is very well placed, and I would recommend volontié, if you spent a few days in this fantastic city,,,,,, any time, despite the great location, it is imperative that the owner of the premises still see a copy ,,,,,,,,, it is important to know ifyou rent it, as we hear from the outside and ventilation, especially aunniveau a bedroom, missing, cloths, égoutoir for dishes, the electricity is a again, no bedside lamp that works??? no window in the main room, the shower curtain not great at all, lack a shower mat, and also lack of blackout curtains at the windows,, , if the maid dana is very nice, the home very nice,, the pictures do not represent what we see on arrival, else the room doors close properly, and the front door, despite all these inconveniences we spent a great stay, and if were to go, and although I leases it back, because the location is top,,,,, not far from time square, 34 avenue, etc., in short, a great location, ,,,,,, we keep great memories,,,,,,,,
Nous venons d avoir passé 5 jours à new york dans cet appartement que nous avions réservé sur internet. Certes, il est très bien placé,et, je le conseillerais volontié, si vous devez passé quelques jours dans cette ville fantastique,,,,,,toute fois, malgré le super emplacement, il est imperatif que le proprietaire des lieux revois sa copie,,,,,,,,,il est important de savoir sivous le louer, que l on entends de l extérieur une ventilation et, surtout aunniveau d une chambre, il manque, des torchons, égoutoir pour la vaisselle, l electricite est a revoir , pas de lampe de chevet qui marche ??????pas de fenetre dans la piece principale, le rideau de douche pas top du tout, manque un tapis de douche , et aussi des rideaux opaques manquent aux fenetres,,,,,,sinon la femme de ménage dana est très sympa, l acceuil tres sympa,,,,les photos ne représentent pas ce que l on vois en arrivant , autre chose les portes des chambres ferment mal,ainsi que la porte d entrée, malgré tous ces desagrements nous avons passés un excellent séjours,et, si devais revenir , et, bien je le reloue, car l emplacement est top,,,,,pas loin de time square, 34 avenue, etc, bref super bien placé,,,,,,,,nous gardons un super souvenirs,,,,,,,,
Let me begin to say that the apartment is located in a lovely area in the upper west side of Manhattan. A very quiet area but still very close to Broadway and the metro stations (2 min walk) which takes you down to Times Square in ~10 minutes.
The kitchen was SEVERELY understocked. There were hardly no glasses or cups, only 3 wine glasses and the kitchen knives were so terrible it was not even possible to slice an onion or tomato. In the end, the kitchen was superfluous because of the lack of tools to cook. The coffee maker was a $10 Black & Decker, which was totally useless. These things were a big let down for me, as I was looking forward to cook in an otherwise great kitchen.
Apart from this, the apartment was very spacious with a lovely wooden floor and nice large bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms were a bit small, and the third was very large. The overall finish was good but the cleaning was a little bit sloppy, especially around details (e.g. taps, mirrors) in the bathroom.
When you pay that much, you expect to at least be able to dine in the apartment.
Perfect location, default ok. Sofa not good. Work well with incheck osv.tydlig info. Think it must be stated that it is distracting music and traffic
Perfekt läge, standard ok. Bäddsoffa inte bra. Fungera bra med incheck osv.tydlig info. Tycker det ska anges att det är störande musik och trafik

Cold Progress for Summertime Fun
(LE MARS) A crane in the skyline of Le Mars is another sign of progress for the relocation of the Blue Bunny Ice Cream Parlor to downtown Le Mars.
Wells' Dairy will move the decade-old attraction from Business Highway 75 and Highway Three to 115 Central Avenue Northwest. Design plans include outdoor seating and a large meeting and party room.
The new location for sweet treats and a history of the family-owned business will be spread through two floors in the former George E. Pew Company building. Hardware and agriculture equipment were the hallmark of the Pew business which was one of the oldest in the state.
A grand opening is planned during the 25th anniversary celebration of Ice Cream Days in Le Mars, June 15-18.
Watch the KLEM web site for the scoop on the latest progress for this attraction in the Ice Cream Capital of the World.

A birding hot spot in southwest Florida, Babcock/Webb is home to numerous resident as well as migrating birds, including the peregrine falcon, bald eagle, wood stork, Bachman's sparrow, burrowing owl, and brown-headed nuthatch. A variety of warblers are common during the winter. This area is a stronghold of the eastern bluebird and many other birds whose habitat has been lost to development.
Babcock/Webb's open stands of slash pine flatwoods are home to 27 colonies of the federally listed endangered red-cockaded woodpecker, an increase of 12 colonies since 1982. Their cavity trees are marked with a white-painted ring.
The Sherman's fox squirrel, a state listed species of special concern, has been observed on Babcock/Webb. Northern bobwhite quail, eastern cottontail rabbits, gray squirrels, raccoons, white-tailed deer, and feral hogs are common inhabitants of the flatwoods. Wading birds forage in wet prairies and marshes throughout the day.
A good place to look for wood storks, egrets, and herons of various types as well as alligators is in the canal along the Seaboard Grade. Sandhill cranes are frequently found in the field east of the stilt house. If water levels are up, a nesting pair of sandhills may be seen east of the Oil Well Grade at the second pond to the north.
The extremely rare Florida bonneted bat (Eumops floridanus, listed as endangered by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission) is one of the rarest mammals in North America. Its last natural roost was documented in 1979, on Babcock/Webb WMA. However, recent audio recordings provide evidence of its continued existence in several south Florida counties (one colony was even discovered in a bat house in Lee County in 2003). Distinguished by its large size (4.9 inches-6.5 inches) and unusual ears, this bat roosts in palms, tree cavities and buildings, and forages for insects high in the air.
Wildlife Spotlight: Red-cockaded Woodpecker
Darrell Land - Red-cockaded Woodpecker
These relatively small woodpeckers only live in old-growth pine forests where they usually make their nests in longleaf pine infected with red heart disease. On Babcock/Webb, red-cockaded woodpeckers nest in slash pine. A "cockade" is a small ornament worn on a hat. In the case of the red-cockaded woodpecker, the cockade is a small red spot behind the eyes of the male. The cockade is only visible during courtship and aggressive displays. The red-cockaded woodpecker is best identified by its black and white striped back and large patches of white on its cheeks. They live in small family groups called clans where all individuals help feed the nestlings.

Your post made me wonder where I left that game. I've wanted to play it for a while but couldn't find it.
As for busdriver. I've only heard the songs on TH:UG, seems like a good rapper, but I'm more of a metal head.

imaginary places is the song that got me to notice busdriver... but, i've downloaded a few of his other songs a few ears ago and i like em... not as much as i liked imaginary places but, i like his style of rap... the way he speaks the lines, and how intelligent he sounds when speaking too... reminds me a lot of deltron 3030 in the fact that they both don't use cuss words hardly ever, and spit out some pretty big words that most rappers wouldn't even recognize ... they're both not your typical hip-hop rappers...
you should check out some of deltron 3030's stuff too... you might like him, ogre... he's not as fast as busdriver though ...

Oh, good one. The "you're on the internet so you must have no life" insult isn't moronic or unoriginal at all. You must, without a doubt, be a very important member of society, not at all a waste of the already barely valuable gift of life.
As is the case for everyone who takes issue with people who make them sad on the internet, you are one of two kinds of people:
You are exactly what you claim I am, and that is a lonely, pathetic basement dweller. You life is spent eating eight pounds of junk food per day, masturbating to anything you find online that's even remotely feminine, and wishing you had good looks and social skills. You continue to live with your mother until she dies of a combination of lung cancer and liver failure brought on by the chain-smoking and heavy drinking she used to cope with what a failure you are. Your mother mercifully dead and free of the living embodiment of failure she regretfully thrust from her loins, the bills start to pile up and you, unemployed and unable to pay these bills (of course), lose the house and everything in it. Somehow even more of a failure than you already were, you wander from place to place eating out of dumpsters and sleeping in your own filth until you finally die of AIDS, which you contracted from a diseased whore you scrounged up enough money to pay for, so you could finally lose your virginity while at the same time pretending that your mother was back in your life.
You are the type who was an athlete in high school, who was genetically doomed to be an idiot but managed to finish school and even get a college scholarship because you were so good at a worthless children's game. You went off to college with a suitcase full of polo shirts and condoms, the polo shirts, because you're a douche, and the condoms to prevent you from impregnating the dim-witted young college girls whom you could never touch without the aid of Rohypnol, a drug you refer to as "roofies" because you can neither spell or pronounce Rohypnol. You scrape by with borderline D's for the next four years, and leave the campus to go out into the real world where your realize you're not intelligent or talented enough to do anything of value with your life. Misery and minimum wage ensues for thirty years, then you blow your brains out, and your corpse, alone and forgotten, is not discovered until the smell of rotting flesh seeps under your door and your bodily fluids finally soak through the floor of your studio apartment and into the room below you. Your body is cremated, the ashes scraped into a garbage bin because there was no one in your life who valued you enough to pay for a casket, funeral, or burial plot.
You're undoubtedly one of the two, otherwise you would have better things to do than complain about the theme of a forum that doesn't care about anything you have to say.

You are remembering, that challenge maps have to be 'new'?
Not implying anything, just asking ...
A continuation of one of my worlds that I like to call the 'Splitting Paths' it was a previous campaign world of mine, and I just can't seem to stop coming back to it. This will most likely include a political map, a map of the deep underground, and the main one featured. My goal for this map is to have virtually no linework, except to use as a reference. I want it to be almost all shading, texture, or detail.
You can see generation one of the map here. The map of the land, fifty years after the first group of settlers landed at Uthar. The second group of settlers landed at Eroneth, both by different ethnic groups within the same empire, they began as great friends in the beginning. To the east, another smaller, colonization project was launched by the Japanese inspired kingdom of (Have not made the name yet.) The town they landed in was called (Westerners call Ryokko Rimthar, meaning rim colony.) Ryokko, named almost literally as the "Distant -Child" Of the mother empire. The Japanese inspired empire quickly abandoned that colonization effort, and turned more towards the the north-east, looking for a more suitable land that is less contested. They're responsible for most of the exploration on that part.
The end of this age of colonization was marked with the discovery of another sentient race - the Trobbes, they live in great mountainous caverns, and in the great cavern world deep within the earth. The ones who discovered this, was a newly created colony furthest towards the north - in what is now known as the valley of legend - due to the strange occurrences that often happen there.
You can see Generation two of the map here. Three years have passed, and many smaller colonies have sprung up to expand the borders of human colonization, and other have grown such as the example of Rothgar, which has gone from around only twenty souls to around two hundred.
Soon after, the realm erupts into conflict over a small border conflict between the two separate sides of Fotthor, as the city is split in half, one side with the Lord of Uthar and his respective fiefs and vassals, and the Lord of Eroneth and his respective holdings. This escalated, and it wasn't long before the citizens of Eroneth and Uthar were in arms against each-other in this city. The war lasted for four years, during this time the city became a battlefield, what's left of the old architecture is built into the new city. Thanks to the wars, the city has evolved into a military powerhouse, and fortification central - with many castles, watch towers, and forts in the city and around it. This has led to a fairly unique and important city.
The war ended with the charge of the Rothgar Reapers - or so they were called on the battlefield, they were led by the Lord of Uthars very own son, Verin, who was also the leader of the colony up north. The charge was on the last real base of the Eroneth Duchy. With almost all of their military forces defeated, they retreated from Fotthor. Uthar put forth a treaty, requesting the lands up-to Teluk, this gave them control of quite a bit of the lumber industry in this part of the world.
The map now, set an unspecified time from the second one - alot of the coastline has been discovered. (Had to put the quality down, other the size would be too big.)

Yep. It looks to me like this is a new version of an older map, in which case it's totally fine, as far as I know.
That's really nice. maybe add a bit more shadow on cliff to create more depth?
That's really gorgeous, though I do agree with Max about adding a bit more shadow; things lose definition a bit at normal view, it looks more crisp farther away/reduced view.
As I said in the other thread, these mountains look very good, so keep up the spirit please so we can see this one finished! cheers, DJ

Wow! That is cool.
I love the style you have for the map, and the colors you used go great together.
This is the map of the starting point for the 4E campaign I'll be starting in the next month or so. I used the same techniques as those for the main map, but I'm figuring out little tricks here and there that make things easier and produce more consistent results.
This map benefited mightily from what I learned about using Layer Masks in Gimp2. That didn't change much about the actual map other than making it easier for me to use more colors in the background. It did, however, make it much easier for me to put this map together in a much shorter time frame.

Thanks a bunch!!
After comparing the regional with the town map, I realized I had overfuzzed the town map. So, I fixed that.
It'll look a bit clearer now.
Really nice map, helium3. The colors go well with the bold lines. Also very appealing stylistically.

Very nice...I like your style!
I think that for large cities, mapping the outlines of building blocks is the way to go. How many people live in your city? What's your scale?
Thanks for the compliment. It's a style I've been tinkering with for a couple of months now. What will be interesting is to see how well the style works for dungeon maps.
As for the details, it's more of a town than a city, with a population of somewhere around 3,500. I haven't really put any thought into the scale, so I suppose you could say that it's "scaled to plot."
I put the map together specifically for the 4E D&D game I'll begin running in the next few weeks. In accordance with the dictat handed down by the central committee that all 4E games take place in a "points of light setting," Helen's Reach is a town that was once a city. Thus, it's somewhat larger in size than the population would normally imply. A fair number of those blocks are mostly abandoned I'd reckon.
I agree about the colour choice...inspired. Using a bright red would never have occurred to me, but it looks really good!
Beautiful map, and a very distinctive colour scheme. Excellent job.
Lovely style, colors are extraordinary. I want to map like that!

We shouldn't put national security in the hands of contractors
(Page 2 of 3)
Thankfully, the phone companies are already resisting taking on the role. Obama gave Attorney General Eric Holder 60 days to come back with a recommendation on who could take on the task. Best of luck to you, Mr. Attorney General.
These types of intelligence programs are crucial in our war against terrorism. In order to protect American citizens, the NSA and other security agencies must monitor and track these calls. It is almost unimaginable to think that a company like Google could have more access to personal information than the NSA. At some point we must ask, whose rights are we protecting?
You may call it spying, but to me it's just protection, and these programs have and will continue to protect us from attacks overseas and within our country.
Another topic: Over the years, I have certainly traded barbs with Newsday, but it seems that, for once, the paper may have gotten something right. In an editorial on Jan. 16, Newsday called out Long Beach City Manager Jack Schnirman for his proposal to reduce the number of years municipal managers have to work before they're eligible for retirement benefits.
"At a time when most municipalities are driving toward tightened budgets and benefits," the editorial stated, "Long Beach is flirting with a wrong turn."
Currently, a manager must be on the job 15 years, but the new proposal would allow that to be reduced to 10 years, or five if the employee also has five years with the state, another municipality or the military.
I respect Schnirman for a job well done during the challenging times after Hurricane Sandy. He should be commended for his tireless work in getting the boardwalk and the surrounding area rebuilt. But I'm really disappointed by this proposal. It's a major step in the wrong direction. He is liberalizing the pension program.
The plan was supposed to be voted on last week, but was questioned by Long Beach City Council members and many residents, so it was tabled.

For once I can agree with you Al we use way to many consultant contractors as it is to do IT work for the government and corporations.
An example that got very little play on the news is that much of the code target was using for the IT security was written in Russia. By farming this out we have lost control over who had our data, I'm sure these companies are not doing background checks on these off-shore consultants. By cutting costs and using outside consultants instead of hiring Americans they have but our personal security at risk, and who knows what other security is at risk. Since the Chinese, North Koreans, Iranians and all of our other enemies are constantly trying to hack into our infrastructure and see if they can wreck havick on us.
As to the pensions in Long Beach they council was totally wrong they should be going in the opposite direction and making it harder and longer to collect a pension. Pensions should be for people making under 75k a year once you make above that you get an IRA like everyone else. This should include all public employees COPS and Teachers on Long Island are going to kill us with pension costs in the very near future

Just rolled out our 22,500 account Zimbra system.
(more details if/when I wake up!)
We went live for a College in the US late Sunday night, after approx. 48 hours of downtime from their old system (mostly to apply last minute changes and unforeseen side effects of other requests).
The whole system is behind 2 F5 big-ip load balancers, which balance between 2 servers running Zimbra proxy. Mail comes in to two Ironport devices and is then passed out to 4 mailhosts. We also have 2 Zimbra LDAP servers for redundancy and a Sympa listserv.
Storage is a SAN fabric for all mailhosts and the backup host, storing over 1.5TB of email. We're using a combination of SAS and SATA disks.
All servers are Dell poweredge 1950s with either single or double quad core Xeons, and either 8 or 16GB of ram depending on use. All are running 64bit CentOS 5.2.
Right now we're running about 3000 concurrent users with the majority using webmail.
It's running quite nicely :)

I'm suffering from the same issues with zmlogprocess and mysql consuming large amounts of cpu that is described in this post:
A couple of questions:
1) This is a two-box install. I screwed up when I originally installed this environment and installed the 'logger' on both boxes. After reading the multi-box install guide, it appears it should only be installed on one server, namely the first mailbox server. My first question is, is there a clean way to unnstall 'logger' on my mta box?
2) The post above suggests clearing out /opt/zimbra/logger/db and rerunning zmloggerinit. While I'd like to clear this issue, I'd also kind of like to keep my historical data. Do I need to bite the bullet and do a clean init to clear the issue?

Photographer and Amsterdamize subscriber Stefanella Orzan from Rome was so kind to send me this video today, called Pedal Power, excerpts from a bicycle documentary produced by Canada's CBC. It aired a few months ago, unfortunately you can only watch the whole film online if you actually live in Canada, but I guess you can circumvent that by proxy :).
Bicycles and automobiles have to share the same roads – a recipe for conflict – and many potential cyclists just won't ride in the city because they see it as too dangerous. Add in the plague of bike theft and a lot of cyclists are simply leaving their bikes at home.
In Canada, bicycles "don't get no respect." From the story of Igor, and the anatomy of the underground world of bike peddlers in Toronto, this film spins out to how other cities are making riding safe. Using innovative "bike-cam" techniques to convey, up-close, the sensation of bike riding, a series of character-driven mini-narratives propel the film through a study of what makes a city "bikeable". Whether it's the public bike program in Paris, bike mega-garages in Amsterdam, bike paths in Vancouver and Montreal, or the surprising leadership of New York City, we follow the story of this remarkable little conveyance as it wheels though the first decade of the 21st century.
This video includes samples of the everyday cycle life of a Dutch family and a very nice expose on the world's first (attempt at a) bike share program by the Provos, the 1965 White Bicycle Plan, initiated by Luud Schimmelpennink.
Although the narrator mentions some data that are in fact not correct, it doesn't hurt the premise of this fine piece of work. Normalcy in cycling is here, there and spreading everywhere.

Fiscal fundamentalists
They save us the bother of serious involvement
"Fiscal fundamentalists" Continued...
I've tried this week, but failed, to learn what Kenneth Lay's childhood religious influences might have been. If he was privileged, as I was, to be exposed during his boyhood to the Westminster Shorter Catechism, then he should right now be especially ashamed of himself.
Kenneth Lay is the chairman and chief executive of the embattled and bankrupt Enron Corporation of Houston. But it isn't just Enron that lies in ruins now as a result of Mr. Lay's failed stewardship, and that of his executive team. Nor is it just the thousands of Enron stockholders and employees whose personal and family finances are strewn in shambles all over the Texas landscape. Nor is it primarily the reputation of a once highly regarded accounting firm like Arthur Andersen.
Much more costly in many ways-especially over the long haul-is the damage Mr. Lay and his careless colleagues have done to the essence of the free-market system. Whenever somebody abuses freedom, others always rush in to try to take that freedom away. So capitalism already is taking its licks every day now in the marketplace of ideas. Editorialists and analysts are explaining how the whole fiasco proves the need for a new round of government restraints, and maybe even whole new armies of government bureaucrats.
People who argue that way are fiscal fundamentalists. They think that you can improve people's financial behavior just by drawing up a long enough list of rules and regulations-and then working hard to enforce that list. If some folks don't show financial responsibility, tie them up with codes and footnotes and force them to observe your list of rules.
The problem, of course, is that no one-not even the government with all its resources-can compile a wise enough list of rules to force people to be good. What's needed instead, as the book of Deuteronomy reminds us, is for the law to be written on our hearts. No fundamentalist checklist, no matter how fanatically enforced, will ever carry the clout that is exercised by well-taught people who have God's truth so engraved within their souls that its myriad implications keep pounding their otherwise wandering consciences.
That's why the writers of the Westminster Catechism in the late 1640s, while encouraging readers to learn the Ten Commandments themselves, also suggested a mind-boggling appendage to each of those commandments. What all does this commandment require? What all does this commandment forbid? And only with the full breadth of God's law in view was the student ready to go out and take on a complex assignment in real life-an assignment, for example, like running Enron.
What would have happened if Kenneth Lay had been urged by his parents when he was young to grapple with this remarkable answer to Question 142 in the larger version of the famous catechism? "What are the sins forbidden in the eighth commandment? Answer: The sins forbidden in the eighth commandment, besides the neglect of the duties required, are, theft, robbery, man-stealing, and receiving anything that is stolen; fraudulent dealing, false weights and measures, removing land marks, injustice and unfaithfulness in contracts between man and man, or in matters of trust; oppression, extortion, usury, bribery, vexatious lawsuits, unjust enclosures and depopulations; engrossing commodities to enhance the price; unlawful callings, and all other unjust or sinful ways of taking or withholding from our neighbor what belongs to him, or of enriching ourselves; covetousness; inordinate prizing and affecting worldly goods; distrustful and distracting cares and studies in getting, keeping, and using them; envying at the prosperity of others; as likewise idleness, prodigality, wasteful gaming; and all other ways whereby we do unduly prejudice our own outward estate, and defrauding ourselves of the due use and comfort of that estate which God has given us."
If that isn't a short course in business ethics, even for the modern day, it's hard to think how you might improve on it. A 21st-century executive might well gather his COO, his CFO, his lawyer, his accountant, and the rest of his management team for an orientation course and say quite simply and confidently: "Get that statement straight, and everything else will pretty much take care of itself."
I understand how our theologically illiterate age might balk at trying to get busy people to spend much time with a catechetical expansion of one of the Ten Commandments. So such folks might have to settle for the short version, where Jesus summarized things by saying even more tersely: "Love your neighbor as yourself." I think, if asked, He would have said that neighbors include employees and stockholders.
But we live in an age where we prefer fundamentalist lists-which government entities seem all too ready to provide when we ask for them. The lists do have this advantage: They save us the bother of having to get all this stuff stashed away down deep in our hearts and souls.

Groupon Inc. Co-chairman Ted Leonsis will jointly lead the Chicago-based daily deal giant while its board seeks a permanent replacement for Andrew Mason, whose departure from the CEO post was announced Thursday.
Leonsis and Executive Chairman Eric Lefkofsky will serve as co-CEOs of Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN), a competitor of D.C.-based LivingSocial Inc.
"Groupon will continue to invest in growth, and we are confident that with our deep management team and market-leading position, the company is well positioned for the future," Leonsis said in a statement.
Mason, a pioneer of the now flailing daily deal business, leaves amid fresh financial difficulties for the company. Groupon released disappointing earnings this week, posting a net loss of $81 million in the fourth quarter.
Sure, you could grill another hot dog. Or, you could try one of these 30 recipes for foods you never knew you could cook on the grill.

[Elevated C5-OH Acylcarnitine]
Multiple Carboxylase Deficiency (MCD)
Differential Diagnosis: Most likely 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA Carboxylase (3MCC) deficiency (infant or mother); may be 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl (HMG)-CoA lyase deficiency; β-Ketothiolase deficiency; multiple Carboxylase deficiency (MCD) including biotinidase deficiency and holocarboxylase deficiency, 2-methyl-3-hydroxybutyric acidemia (2M3HBA), 3-methylglutaconic Aciduria (3MGA).
Condition Description: Each of the disorders is caused by a deficiency of the relevant enzyme. The substrate for which the enzyme is names, in most of the disorders, accumulates as does its potentially toxic metabolites.
Diagnostic Evaluation: Confirmatory tests include urine organic acids on infant and mother, plasma acylcarnitine analysis, and serum biotinidase assay. The organic acids analysis on infant and mother should clarify the differential except for holocarboxylase deficiency and biotinidase deficiency (the latter clarified by biotinidase assay).
Clinical Considerations: The neonate is usually asymptomatic in 3MCC deficiency. However, episodic hypoglycemia, lethargy, hypotonia, and mild developmental delay can occur at any time from the neonatal period through childhood for any of these disorders. There is beneficial treatment that is specialized to each condition

BLEND: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
This 20-acre vineyard is located less than one-half mile from Whitehall Lane Winery on the northwest edge of the Rutherford Appellation. This vineyard has a storied history of producing Reserve-style Cabernet Sauvignon grapes for some of Napa Valley's historic and distinguished wineries. This single vineyard wine was made from a Cabernet sub-block grown on Clone 4 vines. The wine was fermented and went through extended maceration before being aged for 25 months in 100% French oak barrels. The maiden release of this Cabernet is sure to be a classic. Ripe fruit drives the aromas and flavors. Black cherry, berry and toasty oak are at its core wrapped elegantly by its smooth, round tannins. The classic qualities are there and the wine will develop further with aging through 2025.

Montrose Elementary receives grant for 'recess renovation'
Montrose Elementary School students jumped rope, played hopscotch and participated in games of foursquare recently on their newly painted blacktop during recess. But now, recess for Montrose students is a bit different. With the help of a grant from Capital One, Montrose was able to launch "Organized Recess," a time of day where students can participate in cooperative games that double as "teachable moments" in the areas of social skills and good citizenship.
"We have done some research and gathered that organized recess decreases discipline incidents," said Montrose Principal Dana Baldacci. "So we decided this year we'd do several days a week of organized recess, and through this grant, we are able to do it."
Capital One volunteers came out early in the week to repaint the blacktop and then again later in the week to show students how to safely use the equipment in a variety of games that aimed at fostering participation and fair play (pictured). Each classroom also received a bucket full of new recess materials that encourage students to interact and play with one another in a collaborative way.
"This is a great opportunity that Capital One gives us to give back to the community and the neighborhood," said Tim Gunn, a Capital One employee. "It's been a great experience, one of the kids even said it was better than field day, so that's just sort of the icing on the cake for us."

It was a good start to the Mexico trip for the South Dakota State women's basketball team.
Junior Mariah Clarin (Princeton, Minn.) recorded her first career double-double to help lead the South Dakota State women's basketball team to a 57-52 win over TCU Wednesday in the Puerto Vallarta Hardwood Tournament of Hope.
The Jackrabbits extend their winning streak to four games and are 4-2 on the season while TCU drops to 4-2.
Clarin led SDSU with career highs of 13 points and 15 rebounds. Junior Megan Waytashek (Lino Lakes, Minn.) and senior Steph Paluch (Pierre) each added 10 points.
Trailing 30-29 at halftime, South Dakota State used an 11-3 run to open the second half to take a 40-33 lead with 15:50 left in the game. The Jacks got five points from Clarin and three-pointers from freshman Kerri Young (Mitchell) and sophomore Chloe Cornemann (Yankton) to fuel the run.
TCU took its only lead, 47-46, of the second half when Natalie Ventress sank a three-pointer at 6:56. The Horned Frogs sank seven treys in the game, including five in the first half.
South Dakota State took an eight-point lead with 37 seconds left in the game after Waytashek hit a three-pointer and the Jacks got free throws from Clarin and senior Tara Heiser (Watertown) down the stretch.
Guard Zahna Medley led all scorers with 27 points on 6 of 20 shooting, including 5 of 12 from beyond the three-point line.
South Dakota State returns to action Thursday when it plays No. 6/5 Stanford at 4 p.m.

[College of Arts and Sciences]
Student Services Center
The Arts and Sciences Student Services Center provides assistance to undergraduates. It is located in 200 Clark Hall. Services to undergraduates available through the center include academic bankruptcy; advising for premajor and preprofessional students; application for acceptance into the major and minor; assistance with academic planning; change of division; change of major or minor; degree applications and graduation certification; freshman seminar; general information about academic policies and procedures; independent study applications and approvals; junior year advising audits; schedule changes; scholarship information; services for prospective students; services for entering students; special permissions to drop courses, to take overloads, to audit classes, and to reconcile time conflicts; and transfer credit evaluation for incoming students and pre-approval of transfer credit for enrolled students.
Academic Advising
Students in the College of Arts and Sciences are urged to make full use of the College's coordinated program of academic advising. Preprofessional (pre-education, prelaw, premedical, predental, etc.) and premajor advising is available through the Clark Advising Program located in 200 Clark Hall. Advising related to major and minor programs is available in the various academic departments that make up the College.
Clark Advising Program
Pre-education program. Freshman and sophomore students who enter The University of Alabama intending to complete certain degrees in the College of Education begin their careers as College of Arts and Sciences students and are served by the Pre-Education Advising Program. Through careful advising that blends knowledge of A&S curricula and professional education requirements, students are assisted in planning general education coursework appropriate to the fields of teacher education in which they are interested.
Pre-health professions program. The preparation of physicians, dentists, optometrists, physical therapists, and other health professionals is both an important and unique area within higher education. At The University of Alabama, students preparing for study in the health professions constitute one of the largest career-oriented groups on campus. The distinctive characteristics of the training of health professionals stem in part from the truly interdisciplinary nature of the process. Training for the health fields includes in one way or another almost all areas of knowledge and does not focus on a single traditional discipline. Also unique about the process is the competitive status of admission to health-professions schools and the resulting higher level of concern and anxiety among students who are potential applicants.
The Pre-Health Professions Advising Program at the University provides students with advisors who have specific knowledge of the requirements and recommended preparation for study in the health professions. The following pre-health professions programs are available at The University of Alabama: predental (see p. 106), premedical (see p. 107), pre-occupational therapy (see p. 107), preoptometry (see p. 108), prepharmacy (see p. 108), pre-physical therapy (see p. 109), and pre-veterinary medicine (see p. 110).
Prelaw studies. The College of Arts and Sciences offers a prelaw curriculum compatible with a wide variety of majors and minors in the College. Designed to meet each student's special needs and interests, the prelaw curriculum encourages students to include in their programs courses that will ensure their acquisition of a broad undergraduate education and a variety of academic skills, especially the ability to write with clarity and style. See p. 106 for specific program information.
Premajor studies. The College of Arts and Sciences offers a program designed especially for freshman and sophomore students who wish to make progress toward their degrees at the same time that they decide about their majors and minors. Through premajor studies, students complete general education requirements at the same rate as students with declared majors. Premajor studies offers academic advising and opportunities for study in a number of fields, so that students may make informed decisions about a major field of study. This program works cooperatively with the Center for Teaching and Learning, the Career Center, the departments of the College, and other UA academic divisions. See p. 107.
Departmental Advising
Faculty in each department advise students as to their majors or minors and their general degree requirements. As soon as a decision about a major or minor is made, the student should consult with a departmental advisor.
Departmental Honors Programs
Departmental honors programs are available to superior students in the departments of biological sciences, chemistry, English, geology, history, physics, and psychology. These programs offer honors courses and other special opportunities for study in the department. (Also see the departmental honors program information on p. 73, 73, 80, 85, 85, 104, and 110 of this catalog.)
Blount Undergraduate Initiative
The Blount Undergraduate Initiative is a four-year program that enriches undergraduate liberal arts education. All entering freshmen in the College of Arts and Sciences, regardless of their choices of majors and minors, are eligible to apply for admission. This is a four-year program with courses and other activities that emphasize the connectedness of knowledge and the importance of faculty-student learning partnerships. See page 73.

text: Found? The last bugs of the Nixon White House Culture 29 July 11 by Jeff Stein National Archives One morning in early March 1971, US Army counterintelligence agent Dave Mann was going through the overnight files when his eyes landed on something unexpected: a report that a routine, nighttime sweep for bugs along the Pentagon's power-packed E-Ring had found unexplained -- and unencrypted -- signals emanating from offices in the Joint Chiefs of Staff.Someone, it seemed, was eavesdropping on the top brass.Mann was no stranger to bugs. It was a busy time for eavesdroppers and bug-finders, starting with the constant Spy vs. Spy games with Russian spies. But the Nixon years, he and everyone else would soon discover, had extended such clandestine ops into new territory: bugging not just the Democrats, but people within its own ranks. Eventually, most of the Watergate-era eavesdropping schemes were revealed to the public, including the bombshell that Nixon was bugging himself. But the bugs Dave Mann discovered in the E-Ring in March 1971 -- and another batch like it -- have remained buried all these years. Until now.To understand how crazed this era really was, it helps to remember that the Nixon White House was obsessed with not just secrecy, but skullduggery. Only months into the new administration, in 1969, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was so freaked out by the back-alley dealings of Henry Kissinger that he put a spy in the White House to steal documents from his briefcase. Kissinger in turn was bugging his own staff and other officials, including one in the office of the Secretary of Defense.All this was two years before the so-called White House Plumbers, led by ex-CIA agent Howard Hunt, were busted in the Watergate offices of the Democratic National Committee, eventually opening a window into the Nixon funhouse. More than 50 people in the Nixon White House were working on dirty tricks to discredit political opponents, Bob Woodward's infamous " Deep Throat," himself a senior FBI official up to his armpits in illegal bugging operations, would whisper in one of their freaky late-night garage meetings. "Everyone's life," he warned the reporter, "is in danger."But "the White House horrors," as they became known, were still only wisps of suspicion outside Nixon's circle when Mann made his discovery. The signals were eventually tracked to the offices of Gen. William Westmoreland, chief of staff of the United States Army. The guys on the Technical Surveillance Countermeasures team, or TSCM, wrote up a report. Read page 2 1234 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

Cyclone Notebook
- ISU (22-6, 10-6) plays its final regular season road game Tuesday when it faces Baylor (19-10, 7-9). The Cyclones have won 10 conference games for the third-straight season, a first in program history.
- Head coach Fred Hoiberg won his 84th game as head coach of the Cyclones vs. WVU, which ties him with Larry Eustachy (84) in their first four years leading the program.
- Iowa State is one of just three schools nationally with three players averaging at least 16 ppg (VMI, Delaware). The Cyclones have had five different players tally 20+ points in a game this season. ISU is the only school in the nation to score 70+ points in every game.
- Melvin Ejim (19.5), DeAndre Kane (17.8) and Georges Niang (16.9) are attempting to make ISU the first Big 12 team to have three players average 17+ ppg in conference play.
- Ejim, whose birthday is Tuesday, is the Big 12's top scorer at 18.9 points per game, up 7.6 ppg from last season. The last Cyclone to lead the conference in scoring was Marcus Fizer (1999, 2000). Ejim is the only player in a power conference averaging at least 18 pts, eight rebounds while also shooting at least 50 percent from the field and 35 percent behind the arc.
- Ejim has been named a Capital One First-Team Academic All-American, joining Fred Hoiberg as the only first-team members in school history. No first-team pick has led the Big 12 in scoring.
- Freshman Monté Morris has started the last nine games and is currently on pace to break the NCAA record with a 6.1 assist-turnover ratio. In conference play, his a/to ratio is 8.6. Morris had 12 assists and no turnovers in ISU's win against West Virginia. The 12 assists were an ISU freshman record.
- Kane has scored 20+ points in two of the last three games and is averaging 20.0 ppg, 8.0 rpg and 5.0 assists in the last five games.
Niang has scored 17 or more points in 10 of the 12 games since Jan. 18.
- Iowa State is leading the Big 12 in scoring (83.2). The Cyclones share and protect the ball as well as anyone in the country, dishing out 18.6 assists (1st in nation) and posting a 1.81 assist/turnover ratio (1st in nation).
- ISU's seven wins against top-25 teams ties the school record set in 1999-2000. The Cyclones are 7-2 against the top-25 this season and have eight wins vs. the RPI top-50.
Series Notes vs. Baylor
- Iowa State holds a 16-9 edge in the all-time series with Baylor as the teams meet for the 26th time.
- ISU is 2-8 against Baylor in Waco after earning an 87-82 win last season at the Ferrell Center. ISU's only other win in Waco was on March 4, 2000 (75-54) when it wrapped up the Big 12 title. It was the first league title for Iowa State since 1945.
- The Cyclones beat Baylor, 87-72, in the first meeting this season when both teams were ranked in the top-10 (ISU #9, Baylor #7). DeAndre Kane scored 30 points to go along with nine assists, eight rebounds and five steals. Melvin Ejim added 18 points in the win.
- Baylor is one of three Big 12 schools that Iowa State has a series edge with: Texas Tech (14-11) and West Virginia (3-1).
- Melvin Ejim is averaging 13.1 points and 6.7 rebounds in six career meetings with Baylor. He is also shooting 59.6 percent against the Bears. Georges Niang has scored 13.7 points in three games vs. the Bears.
- Ejim played in the World University Games for Canada with Baylor guard Brady Heslip. The Canadians finished fourth and had a win against the United States.
- Fred Hoiberg is 5-1 against Baylor as a coach.
Ejim In Elite Company
- Against Oklahoma, Melvin Ejim became just the 11th player in Big 12 history and the fifth in Iowa State history to grab 900 career rebounds.
- Ejim needs just 10 boards to become the fourth player in Big 12 history to score 1,500 points and grab 1,000 rebounds. He would join Damion James (Texas), Nick Collison (Kansas) and Aleks Maric (Nebraska).

Whether the Garfield County Fairgrounds should be expanded, kept as it is or even relocated are among the issues an economic development group has taken up.
The fairgrounds, on land donated to the county for that purpose, along Railroad Avenue in Rifle, needs a long-term vision, said Rifle Regional Economic Development Corp. President Michael Langhorne at a Feb. 21 meeting in the Rifle Branch Library.
"We want to know what the community wants to see when it comes to the fairgrounds," he said. "We want to come up with a strategic plan and make sure we reach out to all the community."
Langhorne said the group knows there are those who are passionate about the fairgrounds and do not want any changes.
"From our first meeting, we've had the feeling expressed to us that it may not be in the best location and the city has grown up around it," Langhorne continued. "We just want to put forth the best scenario going forward. We know the fairgrounds are very important to Rifle's heritage. So we're not completely convinced it would be the best thing to move it."
The county commissioners, who are involved in the group's efforts, would make any final decision on the fairgrounds.
Langhorne said the group plans extensive community outreach to fairgrounds users, the Rifle community, business leaders, elected officials and citizens "so we can understand what the community feels" about the fairgrounds.
Past county fair board member Jack Pretti said for the last several years, he's thought it may be time to move the fairgrounds.
"There may be a higher and better use for that site," he said.
Current fair board president Levy Burris said the best use of the fairgrounds, and its location, is an issue that "underlies this community for the last 10 years, at least."
"Ten years ago, you couldn't even talk about moving the fairgrounds, because you had the diners and the businesses that depended on the folks that used it," he added. "Now the business development in Rifle has been south of the [Colorado River]."
Pretti said the facility should be promoted more than it is now.
"Most of the use you have there now is out of habit," he added. "There's really very little promotion, either for attendance or use."
Pretti said the input gained about the fairgrounds and its future could lead to a public/private partnership to help take the next steps.
Rifle Mayor Pro Tem Alan Lambert noted the fairgrounds is in a very central location for regional users.
"You could have folks from Wyoming come down for a rodeo, or folks in Montrose come up here," he said. "I know we have been asked what the plans are from some of the users about upgrading it."
Rifle Parks Manager Tom Whitmore recalled past attempts to market the facility as an "events center" were not well received by longtime fairgrounds users.
Burris urged the group to get input from 4-H and other groups elsewhere in the county. Whitmore said the group's message has to include the option of keeping the fairgrounds in Rifle.
Whether or not the community wants to see the fairgrounds move will gradually develop as more input is gained, Langhorne said.
The group's next meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m., Thursday, March 21, in the Rifle Branch Library. The public is welcome.
