WPE Pro 0.9a (Windows XP, 2003, Vista, Windows 7), 1.3 (Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000)
*UPDATE 5/22/11: New version doesn't require use of PermEdit. Thanks goes to Devalina. *
Winsock Packet Editor (WPE) Pro is a packet sniffing/editing tool which is generally used to hack multiplayer games. WPE Pro allows modification of data at TCP level. Using WPE Pro one can select a running process from the memory and modify the data sent by it before it reaches the destination. It can record packets from specific processes, then analyze the information. You can setup filters to modify the packets or even send them when you want in different intervals. WPE Pro could also be a useful tool for testing thick client applications or web applications which use applets to establish socket connections on non http ports.
PermEdit 1.25 (Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 7)
PermEdit grants system access to any running process. Usually it's used for packet editors like WPE Pro and T-Search because sometimes they are unable to target a certain game or it does not appear in the list. It can be used for other programs though.
T-Search 1.6b (Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista)
T-Search is a cheat tool designed to search for parameters in memory while a game is running. This is a primary tool used when making trainers. This program allows the use of breakpoints and disassembly for tracking down DMA locations. This program will also automatically generate the commands needed to plug into the Trainer Maker Kit.
Cheat Engine 6.3 (Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7)
Cheat Engine is an open source tool designed to help you with modifying single player games running under window so you can make them harder or easier depending on your preference, but also contains other usefull tools to help debugging games and even normal applications. It comes with a memory scanner to quickly scan for variables used within a game and allow you to change them, but it also comes with a debugger, disassembler, assembler, speedhack, trainer maker, direct 3D manipulation tools, system inspection tools and more.
ArtMoney 7.41 (Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7)
Art Money is a cheating program you can use for all games. ArtMoney can make a troublesome game easier to win by helping you find the memory address where a desired quantity (like amount of money) is located so you can change that quantity. In spite of its title, ArtMoney actually allows you to change any quantity specified in a game, whether it be dollars, bullets, swords, or health points. The program finds a hex address based on the input parameters you set and prints these addresses with their corresponding values. For example, if your character has 1,431 dollars, ArtMoney searches and displays all memory addresses containing the value of 1431. Of course, as there can be hundreds of memory addresses displayed after a simple search, you will need to filter these addresses.
This site was designed to help you easily find all the tools you need for modifying games. On the forums we have information for things such as hacking club penguin and hacking maple story. We hope you enjoy the programs and become active in the forum. If you enjoy the programs, please submit tutorials to the forums to help other users.

|Greg Was begins CFO duties at hospital
|Written by Chris Lee
Greg Was officially began his role as CFO at Melissa Memorial Hospital (MMH) on Monday, June 15.
Originally from Buffalo, N.Y. Was spent most of his life there. He is a certified public accountant and received his undergraduate degree in 1975 from Canisius College in Buffalo and his MBA in 1998 also from Canisius.
Was is a fellow, the highest rank one can achieve, of the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA). While in Buffalo, he was on the Board of Directors and was also selected to be an officer of the Western New York Chapter of HFMA. He became the first president to bring home national awards to the chapter.
Was began his career in public accounting working for a large firm for five years in Buffalo. He then moved to KPMG, a tax, audit and advisory company.
After his time at KPMG, Was began his healthcare career at Blue Cross in 1983 as a medicare auditor. He had served as a volunteer fireman and EMT prior to that and he enjoyed it so the new endeavor was a comfortable fit.
Was had been working at a critical access hospital in Bisbee, Ariz. near the U.S. and Mexico border when he was contacted by a recruiter about the position in Holyoke. Was mentioned working in Bisbee presented many challenges. He said they worked with many UDA's or undocumented aliens.
"We used to see a lot of undocumented aliens in our emergency rooms," Was said.
The move to Holyoke wasn't as big of a shock as one would think coming from Buffalo.
"I like rural America," Was said. "This is an excellent fit. When I chatted with John (Ayoub) I felt a real match."
Was mentioned he has family in rural settings so he has been there before and knows the ropes.
The process of looking for a CFO for the hospital began back in December when the position opened with the resignation of Shelly Larson.
MMH hired a number of recruitment firms to help fill the CFO position at the hospital, according to administrator John Ayoub.
Jim Rush stepped in to help guide the hospital through the interim period. He began in late December and is currently still on board.
Ayoub said he received roughly 15 resumes from well qualified people for the position. With the help of Rush, Ayoub was able to narrow the field to applicants he was interested in. Ayoub said Rush stepped in to help look at the applicants' technical abilities to better narrow down the selection. In the end, Ayoub said he offered the position to a candidate but that person had gone in a different direction.
While Ayoub and the hospital were sourcing candidates, they also had three recruitment firms looking for the next possible replacement.
Ayoub began receiving resumes from the recruitment firms after he had reached the point where he didn't have anyone for the position. In all, he looked at seven or eight different applicants that the firms had provided.
"Greg was head and shoulders above the rest," Ayoub said. "If you look at him on paper, its really amazing all of the things he's accomplished in such a short period of time."
Ayoub said he was looking for someone who had been in a critical access hospital and worked with rural health clinics. Knowledge of the NexGen electronic medical record that Melissa Memorial Hospital is implementing was another factor.
Some goals for Was are things such as access, physician recruitment and capital growth. He also looks to ensure financial reporting is accurate and timely. Having the hospital build more cash reserves is important to both Was and Ayoub. Making sure there are funds for technology is another goal for Was.
Patient friendly billing is important, Was said. "When a patient receives a bill, if they have questions and they call the hospital they need to receive prompt courteous attention and their concerns need to be addressed."
After Was's short time in the position, Ayoub likes what he has seen.
"I think this first week has been excellent," Was said. "The people that work here really care about the hospital. This is the nicest hospital I've ever worked in."
In his free time, Was is an avid amateur radio operator. He said he has talked all around the world.
"It's sort of my passion," Was said.
He also likes to hunt and enjoys fly fishing. He said he is looking forward to some pheasant hunting and trout fishing as well as getting back into skiing.
His two daughters still reside in New York. Meghan, 23, is attending Trocaire College in Buffalo to become a nurse while Colleen, 21, attends State University of New York at Buffalo and would like to become a neurosurgeon.
"They're good kids," Was said. "They're my best friends."

Remembering The Forgotten War
History | On its 60th anniversary, aging veterans make their final plea for Americans to remember the fruit of the Korean War, and their sacrifices
"Remembering The Forgotten War" Continued...
The cold kept William Weber from dying before his 26th birthday. It was 30 degrees below zero on a February 1951 night when the airborne rifle company commanded by Weber attacked a series of enemy-occupied hills in Korea. Assaulting at dusk through snow and artillery barrages, the company took the first two hills. But the 152 men in the Army unit ran into a Chinese battalion of more than 600 on the last objective: Hill 342.
Weber's team took the hill sometime after midnight and dug in for the counterattack. At about 2 a.m. a grenade blast severed Weber's right arm. The cold congealed the blood as it poured out of his wound. His men bandaged the stump, gave Weber a morphine shot, then handed him a carbine to shoot with his left hand. Ninety minutes later a mortar round took most of Weber's right leg just below the knee, knocking him unconscious.
That ended Weber's fight. But the battle remained too fierce for evacuating the wounded. Chinese soldiers broke through the lines, fighting until killed. Then, after a brief quiet, more of the enemy launched themselves at the Americans with lethal suddenness.
The battle continued all night. Weber's men wrapped him in ponchos, blankets, and overcoats. The sub-zero cold congealed the blood around what was left of his leg, its lower half hanging by the tendons, the bones exposed.
Knowing that the wounded became targets in the daylight, Weber's men risked the firestorm to carry him back to the battalion aid station 500 yards behind the front lines. But the rear wasn't safe. A Chinese shell struck, the shrapnel slamming into Weber's right hip. Of 152 men who went up on Hill 342, 47 became casualties, including 12 dead.
"That was the nature of combat in Korea," Weber, now 87, said recently from his Maryland home.
The war continued until July 27, 1953, when the combatants signed an armistice agreement re-establishing the demilitarized zone that to this day divides North from South Korea.
The fighting may have ended 60 years ago this summer, but the battle for recognition by veterans of the Korean War had just begun. Sandwiched between the "greatest generation" of World War II and the more vocal veterans of the Vietnam War, the Korean War veterans served in a conflict nicknamed The Forgotten War. Those who dodged bullets and shells and saw friends die—or lose limbs like Weber—have spent decades bristling at the notion that this was only a "police action," as President Harry Truman once called it. Today the war's veterans are in their eighties. Many feel they are running out of time in their struggle to get the nation to fully grasp the defining moment of their lives—and the significance of the conflict.
"It is a three paragraph war in the history books at the high school level," said Weber.
When the war began on June 25, 1950, with communist forces in the north invading the south, most Americans asked the same question: Where is Korea?
"It is a country you have never heard of over a land that doesn't have any paved roads," said Melinda Pash, author of In the Shadow of the Greatest Generation: The Americans Who Fought the Korean War. "How do you sell that to the American public? 'There is nothing there, but we are going to fight this war. It is a civil war, but we are going to get involved.' It is hard to drum up any kind of support for that."
For the most part Americans wanted to enjoy the good life in the 1950s. The middle class was growing. More and more Americans could buy homes and cars. Few wanted to be bothered with a war and few were: Americans didn't endure rationing as in the 1940s. While 16 million served in World War II, only 1.8 million served in the Korean War theater.
"Even in the war time itself it was really easy, kind of like the wars now, to pretend no war was going on," Pash said.
When the fighting stopped, Americans couldn't see what had been accomplished: all of Korea was not saved and the peninsula's buffer zone dividing the two Koreas remained along the same 38th parallel established in 1945.
"The guys from Vietnam, somebody threw rocks at them, so at least they got some kind of recognition even if it was negative," said Leo Ruffing, 81, a Pittsburg native who served in Korea with an army mortar company: "We got nothing."
Pash said some VA hospitals turned away men with service-related injuries because they were not classified as war veterans. Congress only later designated the police action a war.
"I've never called it the forgotten war," said Birney Dibble, a military doctor during the war now living in Wisconsin. "I've called it the unknown war. You can't forget something you never knew about."
The brutal nature of the combat is not something the war's survivors will forget. Korea's terrain and its undeveloped road network made it an infantry war. Masses of men moved through forests, valleys, and hills in the dark, squaring off, sometimes eyeball to eyeball, and with shoulder-fired weapons, mortars, and artillery. Tanks mainly operated in support of troops, and the fighting devolved into the trench warfare more common in World War I.
Americans lost more than 36,500 soldiers killed and more than 103,000 wounded in 37 months of fighting. That's an average of more than 988 dead and nearly 2,800 wounded each month. Just over 8,000 American soldiers are still listed as missing in action.
"Imagine picking up the newspaper today and seeing those kind of casualties," Weber said.
Wayne Winebrenner, 18 years old when deployed to Korea, still hears the bugle blows the enemy used as a signal for their hidden troops to rise and attack. "When we got hit I felt like Custer wondering where in the devil all the Indians came from," said Winebrenner, who now lives in Hagerstown, Md.
During one attack, the enemy came dressed in uniforms taken from dead or captured U.S. Marines, almost wiping out an entire company near Winebrenner's unit. In the winter the enemy wore white, so what looked like snow suddenly came alive at the bugle calls. Sometimes just the enemy soldiers in front carried weapons. The ones behind them would snatch rifles from their dead comrades while advancing.
Dibble spent 16 months in combat as a 25-year-old surgeon with the First Marine Division. He'd work nonstop for days at makeshift aid stations with no tents or bunkers, treating men who stepped on landmines or had up to 40 pieces of shrapnel covering their bodies. Working on his knees in the dark and the snow, Dibble used a penlight to locate wounds—turning on a flashlight would invite an enemy attack. Once a single enemy got through the guards and invaded an aid station, the spray of bullets from his machine gun killing Dibble's aide and the wounded soldier they were working on. After one Chinese offensive, Dibble counted medical tags and found that 1,004 cases had arrived at his company in three days.
Sixty years later the memories of such carnage are fresh, and many veterans are striving to make sure the sacrifices of the Korean War's fallen are not forgotten. Weber wants the names of the dead added to the Korean War Veterans Memorial on the National Mall. In 1987 Ronald Reagan appointed Weber to the advisory board overseeing the building of the memorial. The final product, featuring 19 steel statues in combat gear representing a squad on patrol, Weber believes remains unfinished: "The memorial reminds people that someone served, but it doesn't remind them that someone sacrificed."
He's testified before Congress and gotten lawmakers to write bills. But the current version of legislation to add the names has only 40 supporters in the House.
On a local level, members of Antietam Chapter 312 of the Korean War Veterans Association have had more success. In June they dedicated a monument in Hagerstown, Md. It bears the names of the 32 Korean War dead from surrounding Washington County inscribed on a stone tablet. The chapter raised $40,000 for the project, with local governments supplying an additional $60,000. Dozens came to the unveiling ceremony, where a bell rang once for each of the dead.
The memorial also honors living veterans like John Koontz, whose oldest son was nearly 19 months old before Koontz first saw him. At 82, his left foot still tingles from the frostbite he got six decades ago in Korea. The monument also honors Jesse Englehart, 81, who had his helmet shot off his head twice running up a hill at the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, and survived a grenade landing 10 feet from him. And John Jackson, 84, who earned a Bronze Star driving an M4 tank in combat with only one week's rest during 13 months of fighting.
"Lord knows how many people I ran over with that tank," said Jackson, whose unit won six battle stars. "You are moving day and night and you don't know where you are going. I do think about it to this day. It takes something out of you."
Jackson can't resist driving by the Hagerstown memorial every time he goes to the supermarket. "I like to go by there at night. With the lights you can see everything. I rub my hands on it. It is just so smooth. It's beautiful."

Other veterans have found their own ways to make sure their war is not forgotten. For the last 12 years, Dibble, the surgeon, has lectured classes of medical students about his battle experiences. James Butcher taught for 38 years at the University of Minnesota, enduring campus protests over Vietnam and other wars while many of his students and fellow faculty members never knew he was a veteran. Butcher's unit lost 19 men during the Battle of Pork Chop Hill in April 1953. At 18, the newly promoted sergeant had to force his men to advance under a massive artillery barrage: "I was basically pushing people to their death."
Butcher wrote about his experiences not long after returning, but never intended to publish the work. With the 60th anniversary approaching, he decided he had been silent long enough: In April he published Korea: Traces of a Forgotten War, surprising many of his former university colleagues.
"So many of my buddies had died I felt like it was my duty to say something about it."
It's not just veterans on the front lines in the battle for remembrance. This summer the Midland Korean Baptist Church in Texas invited area Korean War veterans to come to a thank-you service. The 70-member church gave each of the 23 veterans who attended a flower, served them Korean food, and performed traditional Korean music and dances.
"I don't know about other wars, but at least for the Korean War I wanted to assure them their sacrifice was worthy," said pastor Hongnak Koo. "Without their sacrifices the blessings of South Korea would not have come."
Koo's own life was changed by the war. Before the communist invasion, Pyongyang, now the capital of North Korea, was called "Jerusalem of the East" for its large population of Christians. But the communists killed or expelled many Christians. Koo grew up in the village of Kongju in South Korea, where he could pursue a pastoral calling that led him to a Texas seminary.
Koo remembers one place where the war has never been forgotten. Since 1975 the South Korean government has subsidized trips for veterans to revisit the land where they fought. By the end of 2011 more than 28,000 veterans had made the journey. The program pays for half of the veteran's airfare and all of accommodations and meals once in Korea. Drivers chauffeur them to battle sites where they can see firsthand how the nation has been transformed. A place they remember as a primitive country full of straw-thatched houses, ragged children, filth, disease, and poverty now boasts skyscrapers, and one of the world's largest economies with multinationals like Samsung and Hyundai.
"You go there and close your eyes and open them and you could be in London, New York, or Tokyo," said Dibble, who has made two trips back to Korea. "And it wasn't just the old codgers like us who remembered when the Marines were there. The younger people would come up to us and shake our hands."
Winebrenner returned to Korea in 2011. His conclusion: "If we had not stopped communism in Korea it probably would have spread throughout Asia and the South Pacific."
By the numbers
On the Korean Peninsula, more than 988 U.S. soldiers died and nearly 2,800 were wounded each month over 37 months of fighting.
- 36,516 American soliders killed
- 103,284 American soldiers wounded
- 8,075 Americans soldiers listed as missing in action

EUGENE, Ore. – Christina Hillman stepped up in Saturday's shot put final of the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Hayward Field, finishing fourth with a best throw of 56-6 6 ¾. Her performance propelled the Cyclones to a 13th-place national team finish. Iowa State had finished 11th in 2012 NCAA cross country and ninth at the 2013 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships.
"To place among the top 13 programs in all three seasons is really proof of excellent team achievement," Iowa State head coach Corey Ihmels said. "Christina did a great job for us today. She was second until the last round of throws."
Hillman, who was second at the NCAA indoor meet in the shot put, came in as the sixth-best overall competitor in the field based on her career outdoor best of 57-1 at the Mt. Sac Relays in April.
Even as the fourth-place finisher Hillman wasn't fully satisfied. She was the top non-senior finisher in the field. She will compete in the U.S. national meet two weeks from now in Des Moines.
"The whole experience this season has been great, although I'm a little disappointed in the outdoor season. But after getting 11th (at the NCAA West Regional) this was a reminder to myself that I belong."
There are no doubter's now.

I don't know if anyone has run across this one. I'm running ZD 1.0 on Mac OS X 10.5.6. I use ZD as my primary mail program, and generally it works fine. However, I have to uninstall and reinstall it at least once or twice a week.
It seems that if I run Software Update (especially one that requires me to restart my computer), the next time I run Zimbra Desktop I get the "Couldn't access Yahoo! Zimbra Desktop server" message. The only way to fix it is to uninstall and reinstall Zimbra Desktop. Then it runs fine again--until I have to restart.
I can't tell if just a simple restart triggers the problem (it's inconsistent), but a software update ALWAYS does it.
Luckily I'm an admin user on my machine, so the reinstall is somewhat less painful; it's more involved for a non-admin user (see my post in the Installations thread).

New York, NY (Sports Network) - The San Diego Chargers traded up in the second
round of the NFL Draft to select Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o 38th overall
Friday night.
The Chargers traded with Arizona for the sixth pick of the second round to get
Te'o, who was this past year's Heisman Trophy runner-up to Texas A&M
quarterback Johnny Manziel. Te'o was the winner of several major national
honors in 2012, including the Butkus Award, Lombardi Award, Chuck Bednarik
Award, Nagurski Award, Walter Camp Award, and Maxwell Award.
Te'o finished his college career with 437 total tackles and 8 1/2 sacks, but
was at the center of a crazy hoax involving a relationship he had with someone
he considered to be his girlfriend. It turned out that the girl didn't exist.
At pick No. 39, the New York Jets selected West Virginia quarterback Geno
Considered one of the most athletic quarterbacks available in the draft, Smith
finished his college career with 12,004 yards of total offense, 98 passing
touchdowns and just 21 interceptions in 44 games played with the Mountaineers.
Jacksonville had the first pick of round two and took Florida International
safety Jonathan Cyprien.

Nearly a year ago, a judge ordered Ryan Leslie to pay the $1 million reward for the recovery of his stolen laptop.
Leslie reneged on the promise after Armin Augustein, a German man, found the laptop. Leslie would go on to explain that the reason he didn't pay the money was because the music on his machine wasn't there. Augustein later filed a federal lawsuit in New York City, which he won. However, Leslie apparently hasn't paid up.
That's why New York City marshals have seized the singer-songwriter's 2010 Cadillac Escalade, which will go for auction on Monday (September 9), reports NYPost.com.
Though the jury in last year's case ordered Leslie to pay the finder's fee, Leslie has apparently paid only $5,000 thus far.
Court documents claim that Leslie's performances make hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The marshals seized Leslie's SUV on August 8, and thus far no other property has been taken.
An ad for the auction says that the vehicle features power steering, power windows, DVD players, and third-row seating.

Intermodal shipping: IANA reports strong first quarter intermodal volumes
May 17, 2011
While other modes of freight transportation have seen their fair share of ups and downs, intermodal continues to be an exception to a large degree, showing relatively strong volume gains on a consistent basis. This rings true again, based on the most recent results of the first quarter Market Trends report published by the Intermodal Association of North America (IANA).
First quarter intermodal loadings—3,292,291—were up 9.0 percent annually, as were the four major intermodal equipment categories tracked by IANA. Domestic containers—at 1,124,769—were up 8.8 percent. Intermodal containers—at 1,755,301—were up 9.6 percent, marking the fourth time since the second half of 2006 that international containers outpaced domestic containers. All domestic equipment—at 1,536,990—was up 8.4 percent, and trailers—at 412,221—saw a 7.5 percent gain.
While increasing fuel prices are serving as a driver for increased intermodal usage on the domestic side, international again paced all categories, as it was up for the fifth straight quarter. IANA officials cited various factors for international intermodal strength, including continued strength in import sales, with improving retail sales and consumer spending.
They added that quarterly retail sales were up 8.1 percent annually, which saw retailers draw down inventory faster and pushing inventory/sales ratios to record lows. And IANA said that these low inventory levels forced shippers to accumulate more goods, which, in turn, drove strong shipment levels.
IANA Vice President of Member Communications Tom Malloy said that while it is encouraging all equipment categories showed growth, the reason for it may actually be a combination of things, especially on the domestic side.
"Domestic containers are up, which is always good news," said Malloy. "But trailers being up are another interesting dynamic in that is that because domestic is up overall or is it because there are tight supplies of 53-foot containers and that is what's moving trailers up? Or is it new over-the-highway business driven by high energy costs? Depending on the lane and duration of haul, I think it is a bit of all of that."
And while intermodal continues to impress, Malloy is keeping a close eye on it, as its first quarter volumes could be a byproduct of shippers moving freight earlier, coupled with supply chain managers possibly gaining some confidence due to the slow, gradual economic recovery.
IMC Performance: Intermodal Marketing Companies largely saw decent percentage gains on an annual basis in the first quarter, with intermodal loads—at 274,984—up 6.9 percent, highway loads up 0.8 percent at 142,785, and total loads up 4.7 percent at 417,769.
IMC intermodal and highway revenue for the first quarter—at $672,185,288 and $196,404,045—were up 16.2 percent and 9.5 percent, respectively. Total revenue—at $868,589,333—was up 14.6 percent. Average revenue per intermodal load—at $2,339—was up 1.3 percent and average revenue per highway load—at $2,444—was up 8.8 percent, and average revenue per highway load—at $1,376—was up 8.6 percent.
Even though IMC revenue was solid, Malloy pointed that fuel surcharges are factored into revenues, which increase when fuel goes up. Intermodal revenues are not net of fuel surcharges, and Malloy said there were price increases issued by IMCs for both highway and intermodal.
"Volumes are up and revenues are up, but when we look at total loads being up only 4.7 percent compared to the intermodal industry average of 8.4 percent, it is a little bit less," said Malloy. "What that is telling me is that the IMC market is doing a good job of holding market share and creating value. And between international and domestic, the truckload providers are where the difference is in volumes. The highway revenue side of IMCs is explained by capacity and fuel, and that is why average revenue for both highway and intermodal loads is up more than 8 percent each."

I have selected someone to do the map.
Thanks to everyone who responded.
Hi all,
I am hoping shortly to be publishing an e-book, set in an original fantasy world. I have a hand-drawn map which I think is of fairly decent quality, but when I uploaded it onto the computer, it turned out terrible! If anyone is interested, I will send them an attachment of the map. I do not need an exact reproduction of the original in terms of style, though I would prefer a hand drawn, Tolkienesque(?) look, with the scale matched as closely as possible - on the original drawing, 1 cm=500 miles.
Because many of the words scanned illegibly, I will number them and include a legend with the words typed out.
If contacted, I will discuss prices via e-mail, but I am willing to pay $100 - $200, and possibly more depending on the quality of the product, delivered via paypal. If you require an advance payment, I can arrange that as well. Ideally I would like the map finished by mid-November, but I can be flexible.
If anyone is interested, you can contact me at phil_ban-at-hotmail.com
ps. - as I am using the map for commercial purposes, I will retain full copyright, but the artist has my permission to display the map as part of their portfolio.
I have selected someone to do the map.
Thanks to everyone who responded.

The search field for some users are always empty when majority of the users will see in:inbox under the Mail Tab and in:contacts under the Address Book Tab. I have verified that this is not browser issue but account issue. Is there any configuration we can do in the admin console or CLI to fix these Zimbra accounts without default search entry?
Also, can I change the default search field from in to under so that the search will also search the sub-folders by default?
btw, I notice that when using in: or under: under the the Address Book Tab, Zimbra will list out mailboxes instead of address books. Is this normal or it's a known bug?

LILBURN, Ga. -- Ivan Gonzalez is 11Alive's Fugitive of the Week for June 6.
Gonzalez is wanted by Gwinnett County Police for three counts of murder, arson, trafficking methamphetamine and marijuana, and possession of methamphetamine.
Gonzalez has been on the run since February 17, 2011, when a fire at a Lilburn home claimed the lives of three children. Four-year-old Isaac Guevara, 3-year old Ivan Guevara and 1-year old Stacy Brito were killed after an explosion rocked the Spring Mill Drive home.
Police say Gonzalez was cooking methamphetamine in the home when a water heater's pilot light ignited fumes from the chemicals he was using.
"We believe he was in charge of the operation there, that it was primarily his doing that these things were in the house, and that he chose this location," Gwinnett Police Corporal Jake Smith said.
The children's mother, Neibe Brito, has been charged with trafficking methamphetamine and murder. Joseph Perez of College Park was arrested on the same charges.
It was originally believed that Gonzalez fled to Mexico.
"We also had reports that he was in Texas at one point, California, various places in Georgia but none of those ever panned out," Cpl. Smith said.
Gonzalez has a permanent mark on his left thigh -- a tattoo of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. He has brown hair and brown eyes and may have burn scars on his face from the fire.
"As far as the incident here (in Lilburn) and the death of those children, Ivan Gonzalez is the last person we want," Cpl. Smith said.
And that's why Ivan Gonzalez is featured on Rowson's Crime Scene's Fugitive of the Week. There you can contact Crime Stoppers Atlanta if you know where he is.

My Crystal Ball: Top 3 Predictions for 2013
As the year draws to a close, I predict there will be no shortage of article looking back at 2012 and ahead to 2013. And my humble blog is no exception.
Looking back on 2012, I've kept you up to date on the latest networking developments from IBM and the industry. I've also recently been blogging about the upcoming OFC/NFOEC conference in March 2013 (where I'm giving a tutorial presentation) on topics including software-defined networking (SDN), energy efficient networking, cloud computing, wavelength multiplexing, 100G networks, and more. And don't miss my latest webinar with Forrester Group on SDN and how it can make a big impact on your plans for next year.
Assuming the ancient Mayans were wrong and the world doesn't end in 2012, here's my top 3 predictions to keep in mind for the coming year, counting down in reverse order:
(3) Open standards will be the best way forward for data networking. This past year, the response to IBM's Open Datacenter Interoperable Network (ODIN) was huge – over 20,000 views in first 2 weeks alone. Look for more industry standards and open source software to make an impact in 2013, including ODIN on steroids and lots more from academic partners like the Marist College SDN/OpenFlow lab.
(2) Data rates will continue to increase. OK, that was an easy one, but it's happening faster than most people thought…10G links are ubiquitous, 40G links are going mainstream in 2013, and 100G for the data center is right around the corner in 2014.
(1) Network virtualization will be the next big thing. Software-defined networking (SDN) is being deployed by some large users (just ask Google), the OpenFlow 1.3 standard has been released, and overlay networks like DOVE are moving forward in the standards bodies
Looking ahead into the new year, I'll be bringing you more tweets and blogs on the latest data center networking news, as well as new podcasts and webinars. Maybe I'll see you at OFC 2013 for my tutorial, and watch for the next edition of my book in 2013. Or, you can catch me at any of the remaining Hudson Valley FIRST Lego League tournaments in January and February; we'll be sending the Hudson Valley Champion to World Fest this year, and that team will be selected from a field of over 80 teams through six qualifying events held across New York's Hudson Valley, including Troy, Ballston Spa, Poughkeepsie, LaGrange, Elmsford, and Sleepy Hollow tournaments. And, as always, you can keep the conversation going by commenting on my blog or Twitter. I'd like to wish all my readers a safe, happy, healthy holiday season and a prosperous new year.

Any Changes in Gambling Fee Would Be Made by Legislature
March 5, 2013
WHEELING — West Virginia Lottery Commission officials need the Legislature to decide whether Wheeling Island Hotel-Casino-Racetrack has to pay a $2....
This will be the fastest fee change in the history of WV. Just think how long it took to take the sales tax off years but now cities gets to add a 1% sales tax instead of a B&O tax under home rule.. The tracks will get a cut in taxes or fee and the public will make up the difference.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
END gambling all together. It sickens me that the state supports such a destructive addiction...AND lied about how the profits would be used.
Citizens...I have a way for you not to lose all of your money...give me half of your money, then go home and take care of your family...at least you still have half left.

Chocolate Chips
What I am about to say will change your life. Chocolate-covered potato chips.
That was probably a little more dramatic in my head than when you just read it, but trust me, this stuff is amazing. It's the perfect combination of sweet and salty, crunchy and soft, heavenly and delicious.
One of my friends got me hooked on this combination last Christmas, and I've been craving them ever since!
She made the mistake of giving me Funkychunky's Chip-Zel-Pop, which combines the chocolate-covered potato chips, chocolate and caramel-drizzled pretzels and caramel popcorn. Yeah, I know, it's a little ridiculous, but it's to die for!
I've been wondering why this whole chocolate-covered potato chip phenomenon hasn't really caught on yet. Why aren't we lining grocery store shelves with packages upon packages of this delightful little treat? Maybe they could take the shelf space left behind by Hostess Twinkies—may they rest in peace—and replace them with potato chips.
Don't worry, though, because I've got a solution. Let's just make our own chocolate chip creations! You'll be the hit of any family Christmas gathering or New Year's Eve party.

I made a few small changes, used one pound turkey instead of hamburger. I added a can of rinsed, black bleans, a can of mexicorn (undrained) and a can of rotel lime/cilantro tomatoes (undrained) which gave it an extra kick of flavor. Did not have lettuce in house, but i would have done a salad on the side. Can see where this would be a great base for stuffed green peppers, tacos, buritos, nachos, etc. Quick and easy, will make this again.
4 out of 5 family members liked this recipe. The Taco Bell seasoning adds a lot of flavor. Quick with few ingredients makes it a great weeknight recipe.
I have made this recipe several times. It is a quick easy meal when you are in a hurry. I make it with ground turkey instead of ground beef. I add chopped onion to the ground turkey and use instant brown rice. I add black beans, a small can of diced tomatoes with chilies and instead of chopping lettuce on top, I put fresh spinach in the rice mixture to wilt. Delicious!

Darlington is a Driver's Track, and Bodine Has Proven He's a Darlington Driver
Posted by: lori on Aug 12, 2010
Tagged in: Sherwin Williams , Germain Racing
- Bodine Leads Truck Series Championship Battle by 174-point margin
- Has Earned More Top-10 Finishes at Darlington than Any Other NASCAR Track
- Collected Germain Racing's First NNS Top-Five Finish at Darlington (2008)
August 11, 2010 (Mooresville, N.C.) - The return of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series to Darlington Raceway has more than just a few folks very excited. Germain Racing has a driver that has nothing but respect for the race track that is "Too Tough to Tame." With one win at Darlington, Bodine has collected more top-ten finishes there than at any other NASCAR track.
"Darlington isn't like other tracks. Every corner is different. It's fast, it's aggressive…it's Darlington. I love it," said Bodine, who has been atop the Truck Series points since May and has 16 top-ten's at the historic SC track. "Darlington is a driver's track. It takes a lot of patience and at the same time you've really got to get after it. I've always enjoyed Darlington from the first race I ever ran there and finished 5th in a (Nationwide Series) race car."
Bodine also finished in the top-five in his last NNS race at Darlington—he started 15th and finished fourth, earning Germain Racing's first NNS top-five.
"A lot has changed since the Truck Series raced at Darlington last. The track has been repaved, which means you should see a race with fewer pit stops. Tires won't wear out like they used to but it's still not a regular race—it's Darlington," said crew chief Mike Hillman Jr., who has chosen chassis TRD-122 to race at the "Lady in Black."
Bodine has raced Darlington in each of NASCAR's three national divisions. He has led laps in the two highest divisions, and in his one Truck Series race there, he spent most of the 150-lap event running in the top-five before finishing 20th. The points leader says every moment at Darlington is thrilling.
"There's never a corner, a straightaway, not a single moment when you are under green at Darlington that you can forget about that race track. You race it every lap and you are racing the 35 trucks around you. It's as thrilling for the drivers as it is for the Truck Series race fans watching from the grandstands and seeing the action on SPEED," said Bodine.
Watch Bodine race 147 laps/200.8 miles at Darlington on Saturday, August 14th at 7:30 PM Eastern. Buy a ticket, watch the action live on SPEED or tune in to your local MRN affiliate.

Written By Carolina Panthers Communications Dept.
Charlotte, N.C.--The Carolina Panthers have hired Ken Dorsey as quarterbacks coach, Jim Skipper as running backs coach and Al Holcomb as linebackers coach, the team said Monday.
Dorsey moves to the coaching staff after serving as a pro scout for the Panthers since 2011.
A standout quarterback at the University of Miami (Fla.) from 1999-2002, Dorsey helped lead the Hurricanes to the 2001 national title and holds numerous school career passing records. He is a two-time Heisman trophy finalist and won the 2001 Maxwell Award and 2002 Archie Griffin Award. He played professionally for seven seasons with the San Francisco 49ers (2003-05), the Cleveland Browns (2006-08) and the Canadian Football League's Toronto Argonauts (2010).
Skipper returns to the Panthers after two seasons with the Tennessee Titans (2011-12), having previously served nine seasons (2002-10) with the Panthers as running backs coach with additional duties as assistant head coach in the final five seasons. In his tenure with the Panthers, DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart and Stephen Davis each reached the 1,000-yard rushing mark; and in 2009, Williams (1,117) and Stewart (1,133) became the first running back tandem in NFL history to each rush for more than 1,100 yards in one season.
Skipper has coached 26 seasons in the NFL and nine in the college ranks. Skipper began his NFL coaching career with the New Orleans Saints (1986-95) before joining the Arizona Cardinals (1996) and New York Giants (1997-2000). He also spent one season as the head coach with the XFL's San Francisco Demons (2001) before joining the Panthers. Skipper's pro coaching career started with the Philadelphia/Baltimore Stars of the USFL from 1983-85. He entered the college coaching ranks as a defensive backs coach at Cal Poly-Pomona from 1974-76 and at San Jose State from 1977-78. Skipper coached running backs coach at Pacific (1979) and then at Oregon (1980-82) before moving to the professional ranks.
Holcomb joins the Panthers after four seasons with the New York Giants' coaching staff, the last two as defensive assistant. The Giants won Super Bowl XLVI following the 2011 season. Prior to joining the Giants, Holcomb spent three seasons as the defensive line coach at Lafayette.
In 2007, Lafayette allowed an NCAA-best 260.1 yards per game. In the summer of 2007, Holcomb participated in the NFL's minority coaching internship with the New York Jets.
He coached collegiately at Division II Kutztown University (2004-05), Bloomsburg (1998-2003) and Division III Colby College (1997) and was a graduate assistant at Temple (1995-96). A graduate of West Virginia University, Holcomb began his coaching career as linebackers coach at Morgantown High School in the fall of 1994, and served as a volunteer administrative assistant with the Mountaineers while pursuing his graduate degree.

Air cargo/parcel shipping: UPS pilots furloughed as part of cost-cutting effort
May 21, 2010
The Independent Pilots Union (IPA), which represents pilots flying for UPS, said this week that 54 pilots will be furloughed on Sunday, May 23.
This follows a February announcement from UPS that stated the company planned to furlough at least 300 of its 2,800 pilots represented by the IPA as part of a cost-cutting initiative. UPS officials said at the time it was actively working with the IPA "avert or mitigate layoffs before they take effect." In February, UPS added that if furloughs were to occur, the first 170 pilots would be furloughed in May.
This news follows a June 2009 agreement between UPS and the IPA in which they reached terms on money-saving measures totaling $131 million over three years. As part of this deal, UPS and the IPA pledged to not have any pilot furloughs until April 1, 2010. And UPS officials said at the time that voluntary pilot savings generated in 2009 could potentially eliminate any proposed layoffs, adding that savings identified by the IPA have been produced through voluntary programs, including pilots taking short- and long-term leaves of absence; military leaves; job-sharing; reductions in flight-pay guarantees; early retirement; and sick bank contributions.
But according to an IPA statement, they claim UPS said in January of this year that UPS now needed $244 million in cost-savings measures through 2015, up from the $131 million over three years in June 2009, with a preference for "compulsory savings," which the IPA said indicates furloughs.
IPA Captain Robert Thrush said that when UPS nearly doubled its original request, IPA pilots "were more than willing to step up, extend and expand the Voluntary Jobs Protection Program to cover UPS's demands and keep the 300 [pilots] employed."
UPS officials told LM in an e-mail that the furloughs are needed at this time, because at the moment they have more crewmembers than needed to operate its airline. They explained that UPS is flying 48 fewer aircraft—214 compared to 262—than it was at its peak in 2003.
"We have permanently retired our older, three-person aircraft in favor of larger, more efficient aircraft," said UPS Director of Global Services Norman Black. "At one time those 727, DC-8 and classic 747 fleets accounted for 400 flight engineers for whom there is no longer a need."
What's more, UPS is flying 15 fewer block hours—the amount of time planes are in flight—than in 2007 before the recession kicked in. And UPS added that the FAA's 2007 "retirement age 65" ruling has kept 200 pilots on the payroll whom previously would have been required to retire at age 60.
UPS also said it been able to absorb some of its excess pilots into its active fleet types. As an example, it said it spent a year retraining about 100 former DC-8 crewmembers on other aircraft types, but there simply are not places for all of the additional crewmembers. And at an average expense of $185,000 per year in pay and benefits, a well-run airline cannot afford to just "carry" pilots in hopes that business will improve quickly, the company explained.
"We understand the impact of these furloughs on our employees and their families," said Black. "In fact, many of our airline's top managers were furloughed by other airlines before they came to UPS, so they have first-hand knowledge of this taxing experience.
Our understanding of the effect of a furlough is why we spent over a year working exhaustively with the union on voluntary alternatives to avoid any kind of job cut. In the end, however, the union could not guarantee us the kind of concrete savings the company required."
UPS pilots that are furloughed will be compensated for accrued sick time, even though the company is not contractually obligated to do so. For many of these crewmembers, this will amount to roughly $20,000 and will help defray some of the costs associated with the furlough, according to UPS.
Jerry Hempstead, president of Orlando-based Hemsptead Consulting, said these furloughs were expected.
"Air volumes have been migrating to ground for some time where the guaranteed surface delivery time is equal to, better than or acceptable trade off, to air," he said. "UPS over time adjusted its network flight operations to account for the declining air volumes (this cant be done overnight , in the overnight business). The economy has taken its toll in idling aircraft in everyone's domestic network (not just UPS but Fed and DHLs domestic air network as well)."
Hempstead pointed out that the pilots worked with management to take some measures to keep the pilots on the payroll, however, the number of air shipments has not returned. And he noted that now that the tailwind of the exit of DHLs domestic exit is gone (since January 30, 2010), UPS can see that air is not coming on as they might have hoped, as it now has Feb, March and April data without DHL tailwind obscuring the true state of the economy and have a feel of the real pulse of where things are going.

Avoid Arachnophobia! It's solitaire with a spidery twist! The object is to remove all the cards by forming a sequence from King down to Ace in the same suit. It sounds pretty easy, but you can quickly get caught in a web of cards! Only the skilled players can clear the board!
1. Move the cards around and form sequences from King to Ace in the same suit. You can place cards in differing suits with each other but they can't be cleared.
2.When a column is empty, any card or stack can be moved that space. Your best bet is to move a King into that space.
3.If you get stuck, click on the draw pile to get a new card for each column. When you finish a sequence, the cards will be cleared from the board. Clear all the cards to win!
Tips and Strategies
· Focus your efforts on emptying columns from the get-go. Once a column is empty, then any single card or any stack of cards can be moved there. Remember, emptying columns is a key strategy to winning.
· When eyeballing columns to empty, consider columns 5-10 on the right first, as these are dealt four cards instead of five at the start.
· Only pull cards from the face-down draw pile after you've completed all available moves.
· Consider dedicating one or two empty columns as 'stock' or 'junk' piles, giving you greater flexibility to rearrange cards and clear other columns.
· Make ample use of the 'UNDO' button; hardcore players may shun it, but beginning players should embrace it. It's situated just below the 'MOVES' counter on the right.

A.Speaker Modeling is a function that simulates the tonal characteristics of a number of different
types of monitor speakers. This allows you to listen to your recorded song through a variety of
"virtual" speakers while mixing, helping you to adjust track balances so that your song mix will
sound great on any sound system it's played on.
Speaker Modeling provides simulations of many popular reference monitors, as well as simulations of television, radio, and boom-box speakers.
Speaker Modeling is designed to produce the most accurate speaker simulation results when you're using digitally connected Roland monitor speakers such as the DS-90A or DS-50A. Please be aware that Speaker Modeling may not produce the intended results when used with other types of speakers.

1935 Ford Hauler - Detroit Autorama Bronze-Coated BeautyWritten by Chuck Vranas on July 1, 2010 Gary Hatfield's Restoration Of The Winfield '35 Ford Pickup
There's no better way for a shop to showcase their capabilities than to have their own promotional vehicle, which they can present at car shows and on the street. Renowned custom car builder Gene Winfield recognized the value of having a hopped-up shop truck back in the late '50s when he designed and built his 1935 Ford hauler complete with a healthy 4-inch chop, dramatic stance, and signature vibe for which he has become famous. A regular at shows and cruise nights, it not only exemplified Winfield's talents, but also served a utilitarian purpose.
As was the fate with many custom vehicles back in the day, it was eventually posted in the back of Hot Rod magazine's Hot Rod Mart for sale in 1963 for $1,875. Since the truck was not mothballed away once sold, it wound up serving duty on the circuit in one form or another for quite a while.
The passing years eventually led to a few non-invasive changes. After a couple of owners and surviving two floods, it was pretty thrashed, beaten on, and left for dead. Sitting dormant since 1965, the truck was discovered in Oregon less engine and transmission, and purchased by Gary Hatfield of Hatfield Restorations in Canton, Texas, who took on the challenge of bringing the truck back to its original glory. Since the truck went through a few changes while owned and shown by Winfield, Hatfield decided to bring it back in its first iteration circa '61. This was as it appeared on the pages of Custom Rodder magazine in October of that year, Flathead powered and painted in Cinnamon Bronze Candy.
The full-blown restoration was benefited by the fact that the truck was still intact with many of its classic parts still bolted to the body and chassis. Once it was completely disassembled by the team at Hatfield's, it was stripped of its existing deteriorated 40-coat lacquer Candy Blue hue, revealing its original Candy Cinnamon Bronze color in the process. Finally in bare metal, the team artfully restored each panel while working along with Winfield who graciously answered any question they had during the process. The truck's signature 4-inch chop, flowing '40 Chevy truck rear fenders, louvered hood top, and rolled rear pan set the tone as the team worked tirelessly to bring it back to life. There were a number of obstacles that needed to be addressed with the original front nerf bars, exhaust, and wheel covers missing. The team at Hatfield's researched each individual issue, and started with reconstructing the tube and mesh front nerf bars from scratch. With only minimal portions of the custom side exhaust still with the truck, they tracked down some of the now-rare ribbed exhaust pipe to reform the alluring pipes and capture their original elegance. Finally Winfield was able to help out in the reconstruction of the stylish wheel covers by supplying Hatfield with four center bullets to mount to the '50 Merc steelies. From there, Hatfield worked with Mooneyes who cut the aluminum center discs while Advanced Custom Chrome created 16 bullets per wheel to complete the caps.
When sold by Winfield, the truck was powered by a 265ci Corvette mill. In order to bring the original roar back a call was placed to H&H Flatheads for one of their highly polished and detailed 255ci V-8s, which is backed by a Hatfield-prepped '40 Ford transmission. With the original spine and suspension completed, the driveline was lowered into place. To complete the truck, a matching rolled interior was stitched up by Hatfield's in the correct '57 Olds gold and white Naugahyde.
Encountering the truck in person is nothing short of breathtaking and the team at Hatfield Restorations should be applauded for their painstaking efforts through the restoration process. Seeing Winfield with the truck again . . . priceless!

Winfield's original design is nothing short of breathtaking. Flowing '40 Chevrolet rear fenders are accented by custom ribbed and polished bedside panels, a rolled rear pan, and sexy chrome mesh-filled nerf bars.One of the many signature designs on the truck include the molded custom ribbed side exhaust complemented by the decadent handmade wheel covers, which feature 16 chromed small bullets per cap.

Christmas Movies: Beyond the Basics
- next ›
- 544 of 735
- ‹ previous
Most of us are familiar with classic Christmas movies such as Miracle on 34th Street, It's A Wonderful Life, and the various versions of Dicken's A Christmas Carol.
Here are a few further ideas for your holiday viewing. All of these are on DVD and are part of the San Mateo County Library collection.
Christmas in Connecticut (1945)
A famous food writer (Barbara Stanwyck) lies about living on a farm, raising her children and being a good cook.
In reality she is an unmarried New Yorker who can't boil an egg. When her editor says she will spend Christmas with an heroic sailor (Dennis Morgan), her job is on the line.
Christmas Story (Finland, 2007)
How did Santa become Santa? According to Finnish folk legend, hundreds of years ago in Lapland, a little boy named Nikolas lost his family in an accident. To show his gratitude to the villagers who took him in, he decides to make toys for the children of the families as goodbye presents at Christmas, thus creating a legend that would be carried on from generation to generation.
Holiday Inn (1942)
A song and dance man (Fred Astaire) and his former partner (Bing Crosby) leave showbiz to run an inn that is only open during holidays. The two find themselves competing for the affections of the same lovely lady (Marjorie Reynolds). The movie has twelve songs by Irving Berlin, written expressly for the film, the most notable being "White Christmas."
The Man Who Came To Dinner (1942)
When acerbic critic Sheridan Whiteside (Monty Woolley) slips on the front steps of a provincial Ohio businessman's home and breaks his hip, he and his outlandish entourage take over the house during the Christmas holidays.
The Bishop's Wife (1947)
Cary Grant plays an angel sent to earth at Christmas to work things out between a harried bishop (David Niven) and his neglected wife (Loretta Young), but instead the wife begins to fall for him.

Warren Netz is a librarian at the Millbrae Library.

May 31, 2016
Alabama Governor Robert Bentley has signed legislation permitting the University of Alabama at Birmingham to do a study of a marijuana derivative to treat seizures.
Bentley put his signature on the bill Tuesday after it cleared the Legislature without a dissenting vote. The bill is known as "Carly's Law" in honor of 3-year-old Carly Chandler of Pelham, who suffers frequent seizures.
Bentley, a physician, said he has always been supportive of medical research to discover new medicines, and he supports a clinical trial of cannabidiol oil to determine its effectiveness in helping patients with severe seizures. The new law takes effect June 1, but the study still must be approved by two federal agencies.
The state Legislature is allocating $1 million to fund the study.

Every woman's labor is unique, even from one pregnancy to the next. In some cases, labor is over in a matter of hours. In other cases, labor tests a mother's physical and emotional stamina.
You won't know how your labor will unfold until it happens. You can prepare, however, by understanding the typical sequence of events.
The first stage of labor occurs when the cervix opens (dilates) and thins out (effaces) to allow the baby to move into the birth canal. This is the longest of the three stages of labor. It's actually divided into two phases of its own — early labor and active labor.
Early labor
During early labor, your cervix will begin to dilate. You'll feel mild contractions during early labor. They will typically last 30 to 90 seconds and come at regular intervals. Near the end of early labor, your contractions will likely be less than five minutes apart.
As your cervix begins to open, you might notice a brown or blood-tinged discharge from your vagina. This is likely the mucus plug that blocks the cervical opening, also known as bloody show.
How long it lasts: Early labor is unpredictable. For first-time moms, the average length of early labor is six to 12 hours. It's often much shorter for subsequent deliveries.
What you can do: Until your contractions increase in frequency and intensity, it's up to you. For many women, early labor isn't particularly uncomfortable. You might feel like doing household chores, taking a walk or watching a movie — or you might simply continue your daily activities.
To promote comfort during early labor:
Active labor
Now it's time for the real work to begin. During active labor, your cervix will dilate to 10 centimeters (cm). Your contractions will become stronger, longer, closer together and regular. Your legs might cramp, and you might feel nauseous. You might feel your water break — if it hasn't already. You might feel increasing pressure in your back as well. If you haven't headed to your labor and delivery facility yet, now's the time.
Don't be surprised if your initial excitement wanes as your labor progresses and the pain intensifies. Don't feel that you're giving up if you ask for pain medication or anesthesia. Your health care team will partner with you to make the best choice for you and your baby. Remember, you're the only one who can judge your need for pain relief.
How long it lasts: Active labor often lasts up to eight hours. For some women, active labor lasts hours longer. For others — especially those who've had a previous vaginal delivery — active labor is much shorter.
What you can do: Look to your labor coach and health care team for encouragement and support. Try breathing and relaxation techniques to combat your growing discomfort. Use what you learned in childbirth class or ask your health care team for suggestions.
To promote comfort during active labor:
The lst part of active labor — often referred to as transition — can be particularly intense. If you feel the urge to push but you're not fully dilated, your health care provider might ask you to hold back. Pushing too soon could cause your cervix to swell, which might delay delivery. Pant or blow your way through the contractions.
It's time! You'll deliver your baby during the second stage of labor.
How long it lasts: It can take from a few minutes up to a few hours or more to push your baby into the world. It often takes longer for first-time moms and women who've had an epidural.
What you can do: Push! You might be encouraged to push with each contraction to speed the process. Or you might take it more slowly, letting nature do the work until you feel the urge to push.
When you push, don't hold tension in your face. Bear down and concentrate on pushing where it counts. Experiment with different positions until you find one that feels best. You can push while squatting, sitting, kneeling — even on your hands and knees.
At some point, you might be asked to push more gently — or not at all. Slowing down gives your vaginal tissues time to stretch rather than tear. To stay motivated, you might ask to feel the baby's head between your legs or see it in a mirror.
After your baby's head is delivered, his or her airway will be cleared and your health care provider will make sure the umbilical cord is free. The rest of your baby's body will follow shortly.
After your baby is born, you'll likely feel a great sense of relief. You might hold the baby in your arms or on your abdomen. Cherish the moment. But a lot is still happening. During the third stage of labor, your health care provider will deliver the placenta and make sure your bleeding is under control.
How long it lasts: The placenta is typically delivered in about five minutes. In some cases, it might take up to 30 minutes.
What you can do: Relax! By now your focus has likely shifted to your baby. You might be oblivious to what's going on around you. If you'd like, try breast-feeding your baby.
You'll continue to have mild contractions. You might also experience chills or shakiness. Your health care provider might massage your lower abdomen to encourage your uterus to contract and expel the placenta. You might be asked to push one more time to deliver the placenta, which usually comes out with a small gush of blood.
Your health care provider will examine the placenta to make sure it's intact. Any remaining fragments must be removed from the uterus to prevent bleeding and infection. If you're interested, ask to see the placenta.
Your health care provider will also determine whether you need stitches or other repair work. If you do, you'll receive an injection of local anesthetic in the area to be stitched if it's not numb already. You might also be given medication to encourage uterine contractions and minimize bleeding.
Savor this special time with your baby. Your preparation, pain and effort have paid off. Revel in the miracle of birth.

Does ZCB sync tasks as well? When I setup my BB initially the COS for tasks was disabled. I've since enabled it and do not see any tasks syncing.
I'm thinking I may have to remove the user, stop BES, delete/recreate the mapi accounts, and re-add/activate the user.
Will this work or is there an easier way?
