Grambling University Forfeits Jackson State Homecoming Game
Jackson State's homecoming game Oct. 19 was cancelled after opponent Grambling State's players refused to play, the latest act of a player protest in a tumultuous season that has included no victories and the dismissal of two head coaches.
As a result of the player walkout, Grambling, one of the storied programs in the history of Black college football, forfeited its scheduled match-up with Jackson State resulting in a final score of 1-0, Southwest Athletic Conference Commissioner Duer Sharp ruled.
The Jackson State homecoming festivities nevertheless proceeded without a football game.
The refusal of most Grambling players to even board the buses to make the two-hour trip from Grambling, La. to Jackson, Miss., to play the game is just the latest element in a Grambling player revolt this season. According to USA Today, only 22 players showed up for the scheduled departure of the team buses Friday.
The players were angry about the firing of their head coach, the former Washington Redskins quarterback and Super Bowl XXII MVP Doug Williams. Williams was sacked two games into the season. The players banded together protesting what they say is a lack of respect from university officials, apparently characterized by long bus rides to games as far away as Kansas City, MO. and Indianapolis, Ind., and poor training facilities where mold and mildew were commonplace.
"I'm proud of them boys. They took a stance,'' Williams said in a text message to USA Today.
Grambling President Frank Pogue issued an apology to Jackson State Oct. 19. "We have had our financial challenges this year, and unfortunately too many of our players don't understand the degree of our fiscal challenges. We are sorry," he wrote.
Grambling (0-8, 0-5), winless in its last 12 games and has lost 18 of its last 19 games, faces a fine of $20,000 from the Southwest Athletic Conference (SWAC). Williams' replacement was fired Thursday and former pro football standout Dennis "Dirt" Winston was named the interim coach.
The team is scheduled to play Texas Southern Oct. 26 at home.

FW : July is White Oak Bayou & SW: July POC One Fly -- FW: August is San Marcos & SW: August is Anahuac flats
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
My suggestion is for this to be on the upper Guad - above Canyon Lake. During March they have a run of white bass and big stripers. Its kayak friendly but would probably involve putting in and kayaking up stream and then floating back. Its flat water with almost no rapids so its not too bad. I would be willing to lead this one - unless Puck has a better plan?Matt

1. The song "God Bless America" sat in Irving Berlin's rejection pile for 20 years
American composer Irving Berlin wrote the nation's most iconic songs, but before that, it sat unnoticed because he didn't think it was all that great. In the early 1900s, Berlin, drafted into the military, helped to draft a musical for troops. It was for this musical that he wrote the song as the production's final number. Berlin eventually deemed it unfit for the musical and filed it away until singer Kate Smith requested something patriotic to sing on the radio as war broke out in Europe.
2. The Fourth of July is NOT the day America declared its independence
July 4, 1776 is commonly celebrated as the day that America declared its Independence. However, the official vote actually took place two days earlier. July 4th is actually just the day the Declaration of Independence was published in newspapers. Additionally, the document wasn't fully signed by the 4th. It took nearly a month to get all 56 delegates' signatures on the document.
3. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on July 4, 50 years after the declaration
Despite the fact that the Fourth of July might not be the actual date of the declaration (depending on how to define when something becomes "official"), two of our nation's most prominent founders, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, the second and third presidents respectively, died on the same day: July 4, 1926. It was the 50th anniversary of what is commonly referred to as Independence Day. The nation's last remaining founder, James Monroe, died 5 years later – also on July 4.
4. Apple Pie wasn't created in America
As it turns out, "as American as Apple Pie" isn't all that accurate. Apple Pie existed well before the founding of America. Only one breed of Apples is indigenous to American soil. The rest were brought over by early European settlers who brought over the fruit and the recipes.
5. The modern, 50-star flag was designed by a student for a class project
As American expanded and changed so too did it's flag. Over the years there have been many iterations of the American flag, but the current 50-star version was actually designed by high school student Robert G. Heft in Lancaster, Ohio. Heft's assignment was to create a new "national banner" for America that would represent the addition of Alaska and Hawaii into statehood. Heft just simply added two more stars to the glad and stitched his own design. His finished product earned him a "B-" from his teacher. Disappointed by the grade, Heft sent his design on to President Dwight D. Eisenhower for consideration. Eisenhower chose his flag and it was officially adopted in 1960. His teacher, also, changed his grade to an "A"
6. July 4 didn't become a national holiday until 1870
Yes, Americans have been celebrating the Fourth of July since as early as 1777, when the first ever major celebration in Philadelphia included a parade, a thirteen-shot cannon salute and fireworks. Congress, however, didn't make it an official holiday until 1870, when it was added toa bill recognizing major state holidays at a federal level. The date didn't become a paid legal holiday, granting federal employees the day off until 1938.
7. News of the Declaration in New York City sparked a riot
It wasn't until July 9, 1776 that a copy of the Declaration of Independence reached New York City.Hundreds of British ships, at the time, occupied New York Harbor. George Washington ready the document out loud in front of City Hall despite the tensions. A crowd that heard the words later tore down a nearby statue of George III and melted it down to be made into more than 42,000 musket balls for Washington's fledgling American army, who was in desperate need of supplies.
8. One signer of the Declaration of Independence later recanted
Richard Stockton, an attorney from Princeton, New Jersey, recanted his support of the revolution becoming the only signer of the Declaration of Independence to do so. On Nov. 30, 1776, Stockton was captured and thrown in jail by the British. After months of captivity and harsh treatment, Stockton repudiated his signature and swore allegiance to King George III. A year later after Stockton regained his freedom, he took a new oath to the state of New Jersey.
9. The Declaration of Independence spent World War II in Fort Knox
Shortly after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in late 1941, the signed Declaration and the Constitution were removed from public display and evacuated out of Washington D.C. Packed in 150 pounds of protective layers and gear, the documents were escorted by Secret Service on a train to Louisville, Kentucky, where a cavalry troop escorted it to Fort Knox for safekeeping. The documents were later returned to Washington in 1944.
10. There actually IS something written on the back of the Declaration of Independence
Nicholas Cage's character in "National Treasure" steals the Declaration to discover a treasure map encrypted on the back of the document by the founding fathers in invisible ink. That was all simply fiction, however, there is a much simpler message written on the back of the document. "Original Declaration of Independence dated 4th July 1776." It's unclear who wrote the note, but the document was often rolled up for transport during the Revolutionary War so it's thought that the text was added as a label.

A Circle Of Wrongs
March 23, 2013
Remember that game you played when you were a kid? The game where everyone is sitting around in a circle and one person whispers a message into the ear of the person sitting next to the....
I know what you are saying and have thought that often myself. In many ways the boomers have brought a lot of this on society as we thought we knew so much and as it turns out many of the institutions and mores that we blew up really did have a purpose. Today's kids have no place to find out why right is right and wrong is wrong, they have to experience themselves, learn the hard way that drugs and alcohol are destructive or that contrary to social media, movies and video games humans hurt very easily. In some ways churches have failed us, often due to their need to become political, and since courts and layers of lawyers have removed all semblance of value teaching in education, kids are growing like weeds instead of flowers that will bloom someday. In this tragedy, there seemed to be no adult influence, not one reaching out. Instead adults became facilitators and the damage done by that failing is now legendary in our valley, but we are not unique in America.

Brilliant. My fiancé knows how expensive my last tank was(120 gallon). But I'm sure she thinks the nano I recently started will be relatively inexpensive. Who am I to deprive her of her assumptions? lol
Hmmm well this is a funny topic. Brit and I don't share our finances except for bills which we use a common joint account to transfer JUST bill money to to pay everything with. If she knew I have 5 grand in a 25 gallon(that's including f'ups too) well..who knows lol
When I was fishless she didn't understand...when I was building my new tank she didn't understand, when I bought her a kitty w/ healthplan & tower & window bed & water fountain she started not caring what I did. Now she takes care of the kitty I take care of the tank(diversion haha). But now that the tank is relativly stocked I catch her watching it or trying to sneak some food in, but always catch her quick...woman you better go rinse them hands in vinegar get that damn soap and lotion off before you go stickin your hands in my tank .
So moral of story, she doesn't ask the cost, I don't tell. Use diversion & give her a hobby when you've started a hobby. Keep finances separate, keep her involved, tell her what everything is, ask her opinion on things and placement and colors you want to highlight...but don't take them equipment shopping..Lfs is ok when shopping for fish/inverts. But don't take them coral shopping..lol

Wife hates the money we spend, will not do maintenance, #####es when I spill water, and insisted that it be an AIO. However she is the one that always wants to go to the LFS to pick out new corals. It pisses her off even more when I tell her we will be avoiding the goniopora since the system is not set up for it. It really pisses her off when I say no and the LFS guy insists that it wiill be fine with no feeding and 64 watts of CF lighting.
I look at the tank as our own Zen Box of dual patience....

Haha it works so well...until the other day when we went into a store that had the mp10 displayed and she saw it was 289 bucks...and I have 3...but I quickly diverted her with a new $100kitty water fountain cause my cat only drinks from the sink lol
Mine was there when I started my nano and is now obsessed with nano reefs... She and I have shared many addictions... i mean hobbies... with each other over the past two years! she gets almost as excited as I do when I start to research on something new! but this I believe is the biggest hobby i have started yet!
I agree, definitely my biggest hobby yet other then my Del Sol...she likes this one more lol.
Posted 26 April 2012 - 05:44 PM
I think overall this really is a singular hobby, with our s/o's thinking we're all nuts. And frankly maybe its better that way- I would freak out if I saw anyone's hands going in my water or moving around a display that I had just perfected, or dirtying the tank with too much food. Perhaps its a hobby best left to control freaks and perfectionists to obsess over without our partners knowing how crazy it really makes us.

Lol my boyfriend once dared to ask how much I spent on coral one day, and then said he never wanted to know or ask again! He's a poor med student XD I have the guys at the store write fake prices on the bags like $20 instead of $150 for my maxima lol! He still thinks its expensive!

My g/f's tank is by far nicer than mine is atm. Mine is just a dark glass box filled with water and a fish. Hers is a full reef tank, zoas, palys, mushrooms, frogspawn, ricordea, some sps and a really cool naked clown. She dictates what goes in the damn thing, I just get to clean/maintain it.

My fiance is very supportive. She's not interested in the husbandry aspect of the hobby, but she loves my mantis shrimp, and of course, having a beautiful bright reef tank in the living room helps with the horrible rainy gray days that we get so much of in Oregon. We both love unusual marine creatures and we have brought our mutual interest into our other hobby of pottery with mantis shrimp, cephalopod, seahorse and other sea creature mugs and bowls.

this is the best advice I've ever heard, problem is my wife dosnt work and yet she complains when I spend money on the tank, but says nothing when she needs something.
The way my wife sees it is that ive had tanks longer than her and weve been together 12 years! So what can she possibly do to stop it? Ill let any of you young couples in on a little secret to long marrige, SEPERATE your finances! This is truly the ONLY way to stay married in this day and age. We all have jobs and wants and needs with no male hierarchy anymore. SO, she gets 4000 pairs of the same colored shoes and I get 4000 little twigs of "colored rock"! The bills get paid and we celebrate 10 years of marrige in October! And so it goes.
I am facinated by the fact that she complains all the time about me trying to bore her with all the details jsut to hear her say, wow, your montipora had grown a ton this month! HUH, you know what a montipora is? No freakin way! So she does listen, unlike me who thinks her $300 crocodile boots look like $10 walmart golloshes...oh and when I had monty eating nudibranhcs, she called them "nanopodapissers"! Classic

Me and the wife, the wife part is a new development but its a 7 year relationship, put a certain % of our pay into a joint account, enough for bills and savings, the rest we spend on what we want. I buy coral, dip and components for reloading... she buys starbucks... and... I dont know, thats the point, If I dont know it dosent bother me.

No he doesn't share my interest / love of my reef tank. He will from time to time ask me if or how my rocks (he refers to my corals as rocks) are growing. He will do anything I ask as far as building anything I might need for my tank.

Hello. I have been trying to import my MS Live contacts (via CSV) and have not been able to get the email addresses into the "email" address field. I can get them into the "Other" field which is tagged as "email".
But the latter does not allow the auto-fill when entering emails in the "To" field of a new email. But once I go into the Contact and manually move the email address in the Zimbra "Email" address field, I can then use the auto-fill.
I do not see a way to do any data import mapping.
I tried to create a contact in Zimbra, export that and then use that file to import a new contact. Still, the email address goes into the "Other" field which is correctly tagged as an "email"...not the "email" field which then allows auto-population when entering names in the To field.
Any ideas how I can rectify this? These are not messy contacts (FName, LName and Email only)...but I have a lot (300+).
Many thanks!

Item # ENB0005
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Road Bottom Brackets in stock than that.View Similar Products
Enduro Bearings XD-15 Ceramic Bottom Bracket $0.00
Let's face it, since bottom bracket bearings were moved outside the shell, we haven't seen much advancement, contrary to what we've been told by anyone who makes a bottom bracket. Sure, ceramic bearings have given us a material option, and their use in most instances offers reduction in frictional losses. It wasn't until Enduro released this XD-15 Ceramic Bottom Bracket that we've had a real game changer. What's the difference you might ask? On the outside, it looks just like any other external bearing bottom bracket assembly save for the luscious anodized colors of the cups.
The truth is that the XD-15 is different than other bottom brackets at its very heart -- the bearings. Where every comparable bottom bracket assembly relies on radial contact cartridge bearings, the XD-15 uses an angular contact design. It's almost a throwback to the days of square taper spindles, before cartridge type bottom brackets. If ...the XD-15 is different at its very heart. The angular contact bearings allow for precision adjustment unseen in bottom brackets in years... you remember that far back, bottom bracket bearings were of an angular contact design. This allowed the most particular mechanics to fine tune the preload on the bearing set to that point of perfection between zero drag and the tiniest hint of play.
And here's a secret that shouldn't be one -- the loads on a bottom bracket were the same then as they are now, except for the fact that installation of the cranks didn't load the bearings back then. And sure, moving the bearings and increasing spindle diameters changes things a bit, but the basic radial and axial components are still there when we pedal or stand on the cranks. The current problem with standard sealed cartridge bottom bracket bearings is that they're not designed to bear much axial loading, if any at all. At the same time, most crank manufacturer's designs rely on axial loading as part of their recommended crank installation. Enduro has found this to be one of the culprits that leads to premature bearing wear. And the XD-15 eliminates this singular weakness of typical, modern external bearing bottom brackets.
The XD-15 is optimized from the outside in. Look at the cups. You'll see that they've machined away excess material on the outer diameter, actually removing every other tool notch. Careful installation will get it in place and torqued to spec, and the saving of a few more grams helps the XD-15 tickle the scales compared to the best from Shimano, FSA, and SRAM. Inside these featherweight cups is where the real action is. Enduro presses in ultra-hard and corrosion resistant nitrogen infused steel races for the Grade 3 Cerebec ceramic ball bearings to roll on. These high tech bearings are round to 3 millionths of an inch. The 3/16" balls are 3.5 times the diameter of what you'll find in Shimano and SRAM bottom brackets. With the superior materials and sizing in the races and bearings, Enduro isn't shy about offering a full one year warranty on the XD-15 Bottom Bracket.
The Enduro XD-15 Ceramic Bottom Bracket is available with either Black or Red anodized bearing cups. Its angular contact design allows an ultra-fine level of preload adjustment for super smooth crank operation and reduced friction as you pedal. It's compatible with 68mm English threaded bottom bracket shells and will work with Shimano Hollowtech 2, SRAM GXP (adapter sleeve included), Rotor, and FSA road cranks (NOT compatible with K-Force Light, SL-K Light, and SL-K Pro).

Tama Matsuoka Wong (Foraged Flavor: Finding Fabulous Ingredients in Your Backyard or Farmer's Market)
Saturday, August 4, 3-4 pm, at Omnivore Books (3885a Cesar Chavez St.)
With Denmark's Noma, which relies heavily on foraged ingredients, ranked as the top restaurant in the world, the ancient practice of foraging for food has gotten renewed attention. Wong (left), who serves as the forager for Daniel Boulud's acclaimed NYC restaurant Daniel, has written a guide that not only explains which foraged plants are edible, but which are the most delicious. She also delves into how to cook each plant, from obscurities like oxalis and creeping jenny to more well-known plants like dandelion leaves and purslane.

|Brian Hitson Named Director of the Department of Energy Office of Scientific and Technical Information
Brian A. Hitson has been named Director of the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI), a DOE corporate function that is managed by the Office of Science.
OSTI, based in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, fulfills agency-wide statutory responsibilities to collect, preserve, and disseminate scientific and technical information emanating from DOE research and development activities. The OSTI mission is to advance science and sustain technological creativity by making R&D findings available and useful to DOE researchers and the public.
"OSTI most recently led the development of the Department's plan to provide public access to scholarly publications and maintains a massive collection of DOE R&D results going back to the Manhattan Project," said Dr. Jeffrey Salmon, Deputy Director of the Office of Science for Resource Management, in announcing Hitson's appointment.

US: Our pigs are safe–Russia doesn't believe so, suspends US imports
Newscast Media NEW YORK—US agricultural officials have said that American pork is
"safe to eat" and that trade talks with Russia are ongoing, following Moscow's
decision to suspend hog imports over virus fears.
Russia said last Thursday that it was suspending hog imports from the US over
concerns about outbreaks of the Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus (PED) killing piglets.
The suspension came into effect last Friday.
Abby Yigzaw, a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) spokesperson, told
RIA Novosti that US experts had confirmed the presence of PED in the US last year
but said that it cannot be transferred to humans.
"PED is not a zoonotic disease," Yigzaw said, referring to conditions that can pass
from animals to humans. "It does not affect people, pets or other animals. Nor is PED
a food safety concern. US pork is safe to eat."
China and Japan also have restricted imports of live US hogs over the highly
contagious disease that has wiped out some 10 per cent of the US hog population
since it was identified in May last year.
Yigzaw said that "correspondence with our counterparts in Russia" continues and that
the department's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is "working closely with
interested trading partners on the presence of PED virus in the US".

TAKOMA PARK, Md. (WUSA) -- Officers responding to the scene of a blown transformer and downed wires in Takoma Park also spotted a large tree down on the wires and a vehicle.
Power is out for approximately 1,700 customers but it is expected to be restored by 5 p.m., say Pepco officials.
The tree is located in the 200 block of Tulip Avenue. Tulip Avenue between Maple and Cedar Avenues and Cedar Ave between Birch and Tulip Avenues are closed while crews cut down the tree, repair the wires and restore power.

Nicely done, Strokes.
What happened in the big room, is that blood on the floor? Are you going to map the other levels as well?
Another map I made with CC3, the ground level of Witten Asylum and its surrounding streets and alleys.
Located in a large city, the asylum is a formidable structure in its own right.
Standing three stories high and built like a s*&% brickhouse, no windows are visible, and the only entrance appears to be through a wrought iron gate, which is guarded by two men. The reception room, is guarded by a 'Mr. Strogg' and his rottweilers. A simple mace leans against the wall behind his desk for all visitors to plainly see. Positively no weapons are allowed in the asylum, other than the ones carried by the guard staff who patrol the ground floor regularly. Weapons are to be left with 'Mr. Strogg' who will place them in a locker located in the reception room.
Not all the asylum's patients are mad, some have been admitted for unacceptable social behaviors, yet others have been admitted for lack of room in the cities gaols.
There's more than one way to enter the asylum other than its front door. Adventuring party's looking for a covert method of entering the asylum should look to the sewers below and come up through one of the hospitals many privy's or try the trapdoor in the pantry.
Nicely done, Strokes.

The big room is the Asylum's ER. An unstable patient tried to take her own life and the doctor on staff, a cleric of the deity of the dead, is trying to patch her up. In the adventure I ran with this map, the adventuring party entered this room seeing all the blood , the patient laying in a bed, and the priest standing over her with some sharp instruments in hand. The adventuring party not realizing that the priest was trying to help the patient, immediately took her out.
This map was for an adventure I ran some time ago and I have all the levels mapped. I think in the upper levels I stopped placing torch sconces on the walls, finding it easier to add them as objects in MT with the correct light settings.
BTW, this map works great in MT with the topology effects. With all the iron bars, the long halls, and numerous corners casting shadows, there's plenty of non visible areas to make an adventuring party really cautious.
LOL, just found out how to do multiple uploads. Here's the remaining levels. I haven't looked at theses maps in long time. I'm seeing a ton of edits I would make on all these maps.
On the first level I would add some shadows to the flora in the front yard, and also add some glows to the road and sidewalk to make the side walk appear at a higher level than the road.
Apparently, the second level is the DMs version on the map, I have it marked as a battle map and as you can see it's keyed and the secret doors are visible.
On all the maps I would place the grid under the walls and furniture. Just a style thing I'm starting to do with my maps, trying to give my players some clue as to the different terrain types they may be facing as per the 4e ruleset. If you can see the grid, your not going to be suffering movement penalty.

Very cool maps, Strokes. You used a lot of different textures. Tried to rep, but apparently I need to spread around some more before I can do that.
The only thing that looks a bit weird to me are the bundles in the right big room on the top level. Everything is a bit blurred and those pink bundles aren't I think. Did you do that on purpose?
(the symbols don't belong to the same group you used to decorate most of the rooms I think, they have a different style, which is also making them stand out for me).
Check out my City Designer 3 tutorials. See my fantasy (city) maps in this thread.
Gandwarf has fallen into shadow...
Thanks for pointing out the pink bundles. They are supposed to represent heaps of clothing. The asylum had been taken over by some mind flayers, and they had locked up the head doctor in his quarters. He hasn't left his quarters in a few years, hence the heaps of clothing.
I wasn't very happy with the way this looked when I placed them there. The images I used were just something I had on hand in which I hastily placed to run the game with this map. I purposely place them their not for aesthetics, but to represent a terrain type for the 4e game.
Something I'm starting to do, is to place these sort of things on the map in MT as movable objects. I would do this same thing with the blood on the ground level floor map also.

|HHS volleyball season ends at regional tournament
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
HHS volleyball bowed out of the regional tournament with a pair of three-set losses to Yuma and Lyons in Yuma Friday, Nov. 1.
Holyoke started the tournament with a familiar foe in Yuma as the match would mark the third time the teams would face each other in less than a month's time. The Lady Dragons knew they had their work cut out for them as the previous two outings resulted in a Yuma victory in three sets.
Jacinda Krueger, pictured at right, is challenged at the net by Yuma's Mollie Haruf during regional play Friday, Nov. 1 in Yuma.
It didn't take long for Yuma to jump out to an 8-3 lead in the first set. A Holyoke timeout did little to thwart the powerful kills by the Yuma squad as they posted an 8-1 run to take an early 16-4 lead.
Holyoke went on spurts to close out the set, but the early deficit proved too large to overcome as they fell 15-25.
"We just didn't bring it," coach Michelle Vieselmeyer said. She added that Yuma was too good of a team to beat by sending free balls over the net.

Piscataway, NJ (Sports Network) - Dane Miller scored 17 of his team-best 18
points in the second half as Rutgers pulled away late for a 68-56 victory over
Rider on Friday.
Miller added five assists for the Scarlet Knights (9-2), who led by just three
points with five minutes left before embarking on a 14-3 run that put the
contest out of reach. Eli Carter contributed 15 points and Kadeem Jack
finished with 12 on 6-of-7 shooting to help Rutgers notch its fifth straight
Rider trailed 48-40 nearing the midway mark of the second half, but used a 7-2
spurt ignited by a Zedric Sadler 3-pointer to cut its deficit down to three.
It remained a one-possession game after the Broncs' Daniel Stewart hit two
free throws to make the score 52-49 with 5:24 left, but Rutgers would take
over from there.
Carter netted the first four points of the deciding run, and a Miller layup in
transition with 2:44 remaining extended the margin to 60-49.
A basket and free throw from Nurideen Lindsey on the ensuing possession
brought Rider within 60-52, but the Knights answered with six consecutive
points to retake a double-digit advantage with under a minute to go.
Stewart went 14-of-14 from the foul line en route to a game-high 20 points,
while Anthony Myles ended with 14 points for Rider (6-7).

Toyota to begin making hydrogen cars
Automaker also looking into hover car technology
Hydrogen-powered vehicles will be in Toyota showrooms across America by the end of this year, slightly ahead of schedule.
The world's top-selling car maker will begin producing hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in mid-December, according to The Japan Times.
The car, currently named the Toyota Fuel Cell Vehicle, will cost about $78,000 at first, but pricing will drop to between $29,000 to $50,000 in the 2020s, according to the report. The next-generation vehicle was originally slated to be commercially available in 2015.
Hydrogen vehicles run on a fuel cell that mixes hydrogen with oxygen, powering the car's electric motor, according to Toyota's website. The vehicle emits water vapor and is expected to have an Environmental Protection Agency driving range of approximately 300 miles.
That number is more than three times the range of current electric vehicles like the Chevrolet Spark EV, which goes 82 miles on a full charge, according to EPA estimates.
Toyota claims the FCV will have "a refueling time as low as three minutes, which is roughly the same as a gasoline vehicle."
Hydrogen refueling stations will be most commonly found in California, as the state plans on having 50 stations by the end of 2016, according to a study by the automaker.
Hydrogen fuel cells may not be the most exciting new technology Toyota is working on though, as a company spokesperson hinted at hover cars this week.
Hiroyoshi Yoshiki, with Toyota's technical administration group, announced the automaker is studying technology that will allow cars to hover "a little bit away" from the road to minimize friction. There have been no announcements regarding the future production of the so-called hover car.

Hello all,
I am curious if there is or will be a way to designate an ip address that all of the zimbra services will bind to. Currently you bind to 0.0.0.0 for most of the external services and 127.0.0.1 for the internal ones.
Is it possible to have the various components (in particular apache) bind to a specific port that can be configured during installation time or even adjusted during maintenance (requiring a restart no less). I know it is possible to do this manually but I an not one hacking around in configs as it tends to make upgrades and patching a pain.
This would be helpful mainly for those of us not installing on multiple servers or those who need to use there servers for multiple functions.
Any thoughts would be appreciated,

Friday night football previews: Lots at stake for Capital vs. Huntington
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Because of a late-season surge, it's all on the line tonight for Capital.
The Cougars (6-3) play their third straight Class AAA top-10 opponent when they visit No. 3 Huntington (8-1) at Bob Sang Field. Kickoff is set for 7:30.
Capital, currently the No. 10 team in the playoff ratings, put itself on the verge of clinching a playoff spot with wins the last two weeks against George Washington and Woodrow Wilson. A victory tonight could possibly bump the Cougars into the top eight, giving them a home game in the first round of the postseason.
Coach Jon Carpenter isn't sure if Capital can qualify for the playoffs if it loses tonight, but doesn't care to dwell on the possibility.
"I told them we need to win,'' Carpenter said. "I think that's the mistake the prognosticators make. If you're going to win any games in the playoffs, you can't have the mindset of relaxing.''
The Highlanders, whose only loss was a 14-13 thriller against No. 1 Cabell Midland, pose peculiar problems for the Cougars.
On offense, they rely on a revolving door of skill players. No one has scored more than seven touchdowns on the season, but six different players have tallied two TDs in a game. On defense, however, they shine as a unit, having allowed just 11 TDs in nine starts and own three shutouts.
"We'll have to break that trend if we're going to stay alive,'' Carpenter said. "They're real fast on defense and really aggressive. They're pretty much in the same defense every snap. That's probably why they're so good. They don't outcoach themselves. They know what they're doing and they can play fast because they don't have to overthink and make a bunch of mistakes.
"It gives you the false impression that they're easy to prepare for, but at the same time it gives them a bunch of reps to know what they're doing.''
Carpenter realizes Huntington holds an advantage, as it was able to practice in the middle of the week while his team wasn't able to work out on Tuesday and Wednesday because classes were called off, and Kanawha County school policy forbids practice.
"I think we'll be all right,'' Carpenter said. "There's nothing we can do about it anyway.''
In other games tonight involving area schools:
"I've had a few in my career like that,'' said Buffalo coach Mike Sawyer of last week's defeat. "If you coach long enough, you will. You learn to try and deal with it.''
A victory for the No. 10 Bison should lock up home-field advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
The White Falcons, who haven't clinched home field in the opening round yet because nine teams in Class A are 8-1 or better, have played only one other state team this season, beating winless Fayetteville 35-7. Just three of the teams in Wahama's league, the Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division, had winning records.
Wahama's powerful offense cranks out 45 points per game and averages more than 430 yards, but its defense, oddly, has created only 17 turnovers in nine games.
It's been a record-breaking year for Winfield and first-year coach Craig Snyder, as quarterback Toby Show set a school season passing record with 1,310 yards, breaking the mark of Taylor Farley (1,200 in 2008). Running back Seth Lewis, with 1,224 yards, has run for more yardage than anyone at the school since at least the 1980s.

Cheaper Gasoline Predicted for '13
AAA predicts year's peak to be $3.80 per gallon
January 11, 2013
NEW YORK— At least gasoline should cost you less in 2013. Hamburger, health care and taxes are all set to take a bigger bite out of the family budget this year....
If you had a grasp of anything beyond your arse, you would be able to answer my question, Creamed.

icecream, "What actually happened is that the Social Security surplus was invested in treasury bonds. What does that mean? It means that workers gave money to the federal government, which turned around and spent it. In return, the Social Security trust fund received bonds that represented promises to repay the money later out of the federal government's income tax receipts. In effect, it gave workers a claim on the income tax receipts of the government at a later date in time. When that time came, the federal government would have to pay up, which would make it less profitable. If the government was already running a deficit, it would make the deficit even worse."

Don't play your stupid childish games Icecream, you aren't bright enough to pull it off.
The measure of defense spending is to compare it as a percentage of of the Budget, not absolute numbers.
In the Peace time of the '50s and 60's it ran about 15-18% of budget.
WWII it saw 50% of the budget.
After Vietnam, it was back to about 16-20% of budget.
It still is but NOBAMA wants to cut it.
Meantime Total Government Spending was a percentage of GDP is 25%, a RECORD for peacetime. It was only 20% under George W.
Which is WHY there is a CLIFF that we ran over, crashed, and BURNED.
Not the Defense Budget that is the problem.
There is so much TRICKLE DOWN from Defense Spending it is going to be SCARY to see the real effects.

To All; Defense spending... Total Defense Department spending hasn't increased by nearly as much as many critics believe it has. Full-year figures for fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 (the last full pre-war year) through 2011 are as follows (in billions; obtained from related September Monthly Treasury Statements; percentages are annual increases over the prior year): 2001 -- $290.9 2002 -- $332.1 (14.2%) 2003 -- $388.9 (17.1%) 2004 -- $437.1 (12.4%) 2005 -- $474.4 (8.5%) 2006 -- $499.4 (5.3%) 2007 -- $529.9 (6.1%) 2008 -- $594.7 (12.2%) 2009 -- $636.8 (7.1%) 2010 -- $666.7 (4.7%) 2011 -- $678.1 (1.7%) How much of these increases were due to the wars? How much represents "normal" budgetary growth (though probably a bit excessive, as has been the case in almost every area of government for decades)? Through the first four months of the current year, spending of $219.7 billion is actually 6.2% below last year's comparable figure of $234.1 billion.

I agree with you on this real rate of inflation is not reported... It didn't start with this president, I know that!!!

nice thought ice cream...and so with this thinking that the increase in the amount taken from pay checks across the country is not a tax increas, but an adjustment going back to where it was before, will it also be said when gas prices go back up, it is not a price increase but an adjustment to get back to where it was before?

dyingov; OK for fifty years the withdrawal of Payroll taxes has increased to follow inflation...Since 1990, we all have paid 12.4%... However, about your other issue; I copied this quote from Forbes;
"President Obama's budget director, Jack Lew, explained all this last February in USA Today:------ "Social Security benefits are entirely self-financing. They are paid for with payroll taxes collected from workers and their employers throughout their careers. These taxes are placed in a trust fund dedicated to paying benefits owed to current and future beneficiaries. … Even though Social Security began collecting less in taxes than it paid in benefits in 2010, the trust fund will continue to accrue interest and grow until 2025, and will have adequate resources to pay full benefits for the next 26 years."
My real point was this is not a Payroll Tax increase, but an adjustment back to the percentage level of 2010... Which never should have been reduced--for this reason...

The poor economic record under obama has decrease the demand for gasoline, thus lower prices. But, obama is solely responsible for this:
"Obamacare Medical Device Tax: As of Jan.1, Obamacare imposes a new tax of 2.3 percent on medical device manufacturers, including those who make dental braces. The tax is imposed on gross sales -- even if the company does not earn a profit in a given year. While the tax will be paid to the IRS by the manufacturer, the tax will be passed along as a higher cost of the product, ultimately to be borne by the parent buying the braces for their child. With the cost of braces being as high as $7,625 this new tax could raise the cost of these braces by $175."

Developers reconfirmed the Eastwood Towne Center, a lifestyle shopping center located in Lansing Township, will open Sept. 12. However, officials say a restaurant will lag behind the start date.
The Towne Center will host more than 60 shops from clothing retailers to restaurants to home furnishings.
While a developer says it will open on Sept. 12, a restaurant -- P.F. Chang's China Bistro -- will open after that date.
Lansing Township officials say the complex will add 1,500 jobs.

Cincinnati officials today released an updated list of City Hall employees who have unpaid parking tickets, and the list includes members of the Police and Fire departments.
A total of 311 municipal employees have delinquent parking tickets, totaling $30,662 in unpaid fines, as of May 4th. That amounts to about 0.25 percent of the total amount of delinquent tickets, said a city spokeswoman.
News junkies probably heard about the warnings issued by Cincinnati City Hall this week, reminding citizens of its "ticket amnesty" program: Anyone with unpaid parking tickets should pay now or possibly have their vehicles impounded by police.
What City Hall didn't announce was that as of last month, 429 of the nearly 62,000 unpaid parking tickets were issued to municipal employees — including some cops and firefighters.
After years of dithering and months of debate, Cincinnati City Council narrowly approved a plan Wednesday to make changes to the cash-strapped pension plan for municipal workers. But a local GOP leader is confused about who voted for what.
There was a period of time in U.S history, roughly for 30 years after the Civil War, known as "the Gilded Age." The American economy grew at an unprecedented rate as the nation transformed itself from an agrarian society into an industrial one.
But the transformation's downside included excessive displays of wealth and captains of industry who grew their fortunes on the backs of exploited and mistreated workers. The government ignored the situation, as the era gave rise to the concept of "social Darwinism."
Another round of layoffs hit Cincinnati's only remaining daily newspaper this afternoon. Various reports indicate between 12 and 20 people were let go at The Enquirer.
A Clifton community group is contacting local and state officials to get help with the effort to reopen Keller's IGA grocery store in the Gaslight District.
The store, located on Ludlow Avenue in the heart of the neighborhood's business district, abruptly closed Jan. 6, shocking many residents and other longtime customers.
With all the last-minute deal-making and back and forth among Cincinnati officials, some residents remain confused about details of the city's operating budget for this year. At least, that's the impression CityBeat gets based on its feedback.
Among the most asked-about items is exactly which city-owned swimming pools are affected by budget cuts to help reduce Cincinnati's $54.7 million deficit. In all, 19 of its 33 pools won't open next summer.
The new year already is looking a lot like the old one for employees at The Enquirer.
Workers at Cincinnati's only remaining daily newspaper got some bad news Wednesday: They can expect to take another five-day furlough during the first quarter of 2011. Robert J. Dickey, who is U.S. newspaper division president at The Gannett Co., The Enquirer's parent firm, announced the latest round of furloughs in a memo sent to workers.
As part of its annual Christmas Day preparations for the needy, the Freestore Foodbank distributed nearly 300,000 pounds of food, its largest amount ever for the holiday.
During the past three days, the emergency food provider distributed 297,050 pounds of food to 6,677 households. That's enough to feed 18,516 people, according to a spokeswoman.
Today is the winter solstice, the day of the year with the longest amount of darkness. That means it's also Homeless Memorial Day.
Since 1990, the National Coalition for the Homeless has held memorial services for individuals who have died from causes related to their lack of housing on this day.

General comments
#1. Revision of A.2.1
I am in favor of this change! It might have some display and normalization implications, but if we are going to accept unusual capitalization from corporate bodies then I agree that we should accept it for persons and families. Rolla, 7/6/11
LC is proposing rewriting the last sentence of A.2.1 as:
If the name of a person, family, or corporate body has unusual capitalization, follow that capitalization practice.
I think this sentence would read better without the final word:
If the name of a person, family, or corporate body has unusual capitalization, follow that capitalization.
-- Glennan (PCC), for Adam Schiff, 7/7/11
I agree with the change. I don't like the wording particularly. The original wording: For corporate names with unusual capitalization, follow the capitalization practice of the body. Would simply dropping corporate be sufficient? i.e. "For names with unusual capitalization, follow that capitalization practice." Including personal and family names in the examples should be sufficient to illustrate the scope. (Just trying to simplify.) Winzer, 7/8/11
I also agree with Kathy's comments. If it is not necessary to differentiate between corporate, family, and personal names in the proposal, I think it would be helpful to keep the language as simple and straightforward as possible. Wolverton, 7/17/2011
I agree with the change. I like Kathy's suggestion to simplify the existing instruction rather than rewriting the whole sentence. R.Rendall, 7/19/11
I also agree with the change and suggested revisions to the wording, which, if I have it correctly is now: "For names with unusual capitalization, follow that capitalization."
#2. Revision of A.2.4
If I remember correctly, there was a lot of confusion during the RDA testing concerning the distinction between Field of Activity and Profession, and in fact I thought that LC ended up instructing testers not to use field 372 in authority records. And at Midwinter in San Diego I also remember John Attig saying that the JSC itself wasn't clear on the distinction but only kept the two different attributes in RDA to follow FRBR/FRAD. If Field of Activity is an attribute that needs further study and clarification, does it make sense now to change the instructions here to include it? I'm inclined to say that it doesn't. Rolla, 7/6/11
I find the Thomas (Anglo-Norman poet) example less than satisfactory, because Anglo-Norman would be capitalized in any case. Better examples would be:
Big Hand (Musician) [example from 126.96.36.199) Lang, Peter (Stamp collector) [example from 126.96.36.199 and 18.104.22.168]
The second of these does a good job of illustrating that only the first word in the qualifier is capitalized. However, this might also be a useful additional example, since it shows that the first word of a title would be also capitalized:
Gillespie, Helen (Owner of Dance news) [example from 22.214.171.124 and 18.104.22.168]
-- Glennan (PCC) for Adam Schiff, 7/7/11
#3. Missing languages
I would only support approach #3a. I can understand that it would be a very nice thing to avoid renumbering, but to just put additional languages at the end, in order of their addition, has the appearance of a lazy, quick-and-dirty approach. It is not user-friendly. This is an expensive resource for the users, and things should not be done "on the cheap". Randall, 6/10/11
I agree with Kevin. 3a is the best solution and would result in the best looking document. Rolla, 7/6/11
With missing languages, I think they should be included in RDA itself and the best course of action is to insert them in the proper alphabetical place and renumber the instructions. I hate the option that LC is suggesting, it makes absolutely no sense! A better method that would make it possible to insert languages without renumbering could be developed: get rid of the A.33-A.55 and just call it a single instruction number and use the name of the language as part of the numbering, something like this:
Other Languages
A.31 General Guideline
A.32 Capitalization of Transliterated Names and Titles
A.33 Specific Languages
A.33 Bosnian
A.33 Bosnian.1 Proper Names and Their Derivatives
A.33 Bosnian.2 Names of Regions, Localities, and Geographic Features, Including Streets, Parks, Etc.
A.33 Bulgarian
A.33 Bulgarian.1 Proper Names and Their Derivatives
A.33 Bulgarian.2 Names of Regions, Localities, and Geographic Features, Including Streets, Parks, Etc.
Something like the above would allow any language to be inserted alphabetically.
Alternatively, maybe there's a way to do this in a way that would look even better:
Other Languages
A.31 General Guideline
A.32 Capitalization of Transliterated Names and Titles

Basically, what I'm suggesting is that the JSC come up with a different way to number this part of the appendix so that it is easy to insert languages without necessitating wholesale renumbering. It does NOT make sense to me to stick new languages on at the end. That's not user friendly in the least.
-- Glennan (PCC) for Adam Schiff, 7/7/11
I agree with the above comments. Appending the languages at the end is neither logical nor user friendly. I am wondering why LC is so concerned about renumbering in this particular section. Are there many links that would need to be updated? or some other reason? I would think that updating numbering in an online tool would not be that difficult. I am not in favor of using the same number for all languages, even though they are in alphabetic order. Winzer, July 8, 2011
I agree as well – I believe we need to keep this as user-friendly as possible. Wolverton, 7/17/2011
I agree with the earlier comments supporting option 3a, with renumbering when necessary. I'm not sure innovative numbering patterns like A.33 Bulgarian.1 are desirable. Substantive guidelines like those for Latvian and Lithuanian should be inserted in their proper alphabetical place. Instructions like "Breton: Follow the instructions for French" could maybe be entered in an introductory section rather than alphabetically - if they need to be in RDA at all. R.Rendall, 7/19/11

"Can use soymilk in place of buttermilk and fat-free milk. Also you can use cooking oil in place of butter or dairy free butter."

"This is a "regular" muffin in our house! They never last very long. The 1st time I made them didn't have the buckwheat flour so used sorghum flour instead, they were very good so that is what I use all the time. My husband eats GF even though he doesn't need to, says it is just as good as what we used to eat!Sharon"
